Principle 20

Holy Spirit Normal Christianity 369

AS ONE reads through the Book of Acts, the work of the Holy Spirit in the early Church is evident on every page. If you remove the work of the Holy Spirit from the Book of Acts you have virtually nothing left. Truly, He empowered the first disciples to “turn the world upside down.”370 The places in the world today where the Church is expanding the fastest are those places where Jesus’ followers are yielded to and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This should not surprise us. The Holy Spirit can accomplish more in ten seconds than we can accomplish in ten thousand years of our own efforts.371 Thus it is of vital importance that the disciple-making minister understands what Scripture teaches about the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives and ministries of believers.

This principle is all attributed to David Servant excluding the Scripture portion at the end of the section. 370 Acts 17:6 371 Though we do the work of the Church daily and labor, we must always remember a great harvest will come in the Lord’s timing as we faint not. “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9). 369
