INTRODUCTION
God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and He operates through His Spirit (Genesis 1:2). The Spirit of God is linked with creation (Psalm 104:30). At the baptism of Jesus, the Spirit of God descended as a dove upon Him (Matthew 3:16).
He is active in the work of redemption, restoration and deliverance of God’s people (Isaiah 32:14-1Z).
This lesson shall examine how the Spirit empowers and His divine nature.
