DOCTRINE OF THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

A. Definition and Description.
1. The Holy Spirit indwells the body of the Church Age believer at the
moment of salvation, 1 Cor 6:19-20, 3:16.
2. The indwelling of the Spirit is one of the six permanent ministries
of the Holy Spirit at salvation. The purpose of the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit is to provide a temple in the body of every Church Age believer for
the indwelling of Jesus Christ as the Shekinah Glory and the indwelling of
God the Father.
a. There are no sacred buildings in the Church Age. The only
sacred building was the temple in Jerusalem which belonged to Israel and was
destroyed in 70 A.D.
b. God the Holy Spirit makes a sacred building out of your body
for the indwelling of God the Son and God the Father.
3. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is also a sign of the royal
family status, which is superior to being in the family of God, as believers
in past dispensations were. In the Millennium, all believers are filled
with by the Holy Spirit, but no millennial believer is indwelt with the Holy
Spirit. There was no indwelling of the Holy Spirit until the Church Age.
Believers in the Old Testament were empowered by the Holy Spirit at times.
We live on the best side of history, which is after the cross. Therefore,
we are royal family to complement Christ's battlefield royalty. We receive
six additional ministries of the Holy Spirit at salvation: efficacious
grace, regeneration, sealing, spiritual gifts, filling, and baptism.
4. While no believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit in other
dispensations, all believers are indwelt with the Holy Spirit in the Church
Age. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in other dispensations was technically
the enduement of the Holy Spirit. For example, David said, "Take not Your
Spirit from me," Ps 51:11.
5. The Holy Spirit indwells the body of every believer, but only
controls the soul of the believer under the title "filling of the Holy
Spirit" or "walking in the Spirit."
6. It is important to distinguish between the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit which is permanent, and the filling of the Holy Spirit which is
temporary depending on the use of the rebound technique. When we sin we
lose the filling of the Holy Spirit, but not the indwelling of the Spirit.
7. The Holy Spirit indwells the body of the believer because the old
sin nature lives in the body of the believer. In the life of every
believer, human ability must be superceded by divine ability. Therefore,
the dynamics of the Holy Spirit are clearly important.
8. However, the actual use of divine power from the indwelling of the
Spirit depends on the filling of the Holy Spirit rather than the indwelling
of the Spirit. The indwelling is not operational apart from the filling.
9. Therefore, the believer must learn to distinguish between the
indwelling of Holy Spirit and the filling of the Holy Spirit. It is the
filling of the Holy Spirit by which we deploy the problem solving devices of
the protocol plan of God. The filling of the Holy Spirit is the first power
option of the spiritual life and without this divine power it is impossible
to execute the unique spiritual life of the Church. Divine power is
necessary to execute the divine plan. Without the filling of the Holy
Spirit there is no spiritual life. A perfect plan demands perfect power for
its fulfillment. The Christian way of life is a supernatural way of life
and demands a supernatural means of execution, which means anything the
unbeliever can do is not the Christian way of life.
10. The indwelling and filling of the Holy Spirit are not synonymous
terms.
a. While the indwelling of Holy Spirit emphasizes the body, the
filling of the Holy Spirit emphasizes the believer's soul. Therefore, the
sphere of indwelling is always stated as the body of the believer, 1 Cor
3:16; 6:19-20. Your body is the sacred building of the Church Age. This
indwelling makes it impossible for demon possession to occur.
b. While both the indwelling and filling are absolutes (they
cooperate with each other and are not antithetical), they are different
types of absolutes.
(1) The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is an irrevocable
absolute.
(2) The filling of the Holy Spirit is a revocable absolute
through carnality. But the indwelling and filling are cooperating absolutes
when we are filled with the Spirit.
(3) When the Holy Spirit controls the soul, the believer is
said to be filled with the Spirit. But when the sin nature controls the
soul, the believer is said to be carnal--both grieving and quenching the
Holy Spirit
(4) The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is both permanent and
irrevocable whether the believer is carnal or spiritual, winner believer or
loser believer.
(5) The filling of the Spirit is temporary, depending on
whether the believer is spiritual or carnal.
(6) The filling of the Spirit is related to the believer's
soul. When the sin nature takes over the believer's soul, then the believer
sins.
(7) The purpose of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is to
provide a temple in the believer's body for the indwelling of Christ as the
Shekinah Glory.
(8) The purpose of the filling of the Spirit is to provide
the enabling power for the execution of the unique spiritual life of the
Church Age.
(9) Therefore, the indwelling of the Spirit is permanent,
while the filling of the Spirit is temporary, depending upon consistency in
using the rebound technique of 1 Jn 1:9.
c. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is permanent whether the
believer is spiritual or carnal, therefore, it is non-experiential.
d. The filling of the Holy Spirit is temporary, depending on the
experiential status of the believer.
e. The filling of the Spirit is mandated by God, Eph 5:18, but
the indwelling of the Spirit is stated by God as a fact, 1 Cor 3:16, 6:19-
20. Therefore, the indwelling of the Spirit is a permanent status quo in
time.
f. Both power options in the spiritual life (the power of the
Holy Spirit and the power of Bible doctrine in your soul) depend upon the
filling of the Holy Spirit. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a temple
in the body. The filling of the Spirit is the triumph of the soul.
11. Additional nomenclature related to the Spirit.
a. We are commanded to "grieve not the Spirit," Eph 4:30, which
occurs when we enter cosmic one.
b. We are commanded to "quench not the Spirit," 1 Thes 5:19,
which occurs when we enter cosmic two.
c. We are never commanded to be indwelt by the Spirit (this
always exists), but to "be filled with the Spirit," Eph 5:18, or to be
"walking in the Spirit," Gal 5:16.
12. Personal judgment decisions, like how much you eat, drink or smoke,
has nothing to do with the filling of the Holy Spirit. Overindulgence in
these things is sin, but moderation in their consumption is not sinful.

B. The Inner Conflict Between the Old Sin Nature and Indwelling of Holy
Spirit.
1. The prior indwelling of the old sin nature from physical birth and
the indwelling of the Holy Spirit from the new birth result in a great inner
conflict, Gal 5:17.
2. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the principle of victory over
the old sin nature, while the filling of the Holy Spirit is the function of
victory over the old sin nature.
3. Therefore, emphasis is placed on the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
which divorces the believer from the power of the old sin nature and marries
the believer to a second husband with a new way of life. It further
provides a new marriage counselor for the new life in God the Holy Spirit.
4. The inner conflict between the old sin nature and indwelling of the
Holy Spirit is portrayed in Rom 8:2-8 and Gal 5:16ff. The old sin nature
has a head start at birth. It is only overcome by positive attitude to
doctrine, especially the doctrine of rebound.

C. The Prophesy of the Indwelling of God the Holy Spirit, Jn 7:37-39.
1. It was prophesied prior to the beginning of the Church Age by
Christ. There are three spiritual uses of water, one of which is mentioned
in Jn 7:37-39.
a. For salvation, Isa 55:1; Rev 22:17.
b. For doctrine, Jn 3:5; Eph 5:26.
c. For the Holy Spirit, Jn 7:39.
2. In Jn 14:16-17 Christ again prophesied the indwelling of Holy
Spirit, "will be in you."


D. The Primary Objective of the Indwelling of Holy Spirit.
1. The primary objective of the indwelling of Holy Spirit is to
provide a temple in your body for the indwelling of the other two members of
the Trinity. This provides motivation for the attainment of spiritual
objectives.
2. Advance to maturity and glorification of Christ is accomplished
through the filling of the Spirit and perception of doctrine.
3. Perception of doctrine is related to the teaching ministry of the
indwelling Holy Spirit, Jn 14:26. The Holy Spirit provided accuracy of
recall through a photographic memory for the writing of Scripture, Jn
16:12-15 cf 1 Cor 2:9-16 and 1 Jn 2:27.

E. Anointing or unction is a synonym for the indwelling of Holy Spirit,
1 Jn 2:20, 27. Anointing relates the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to the
Church Age believer as a sign of the royal family of God. The indwelling of
Holy Spirit is the royal family escutcheon. Because the royal family lives
in the Holy of Holies forever, it is important that we are indwelt by God
the Holy Spirit. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit demonstrates that we are
royalty. Anointing appoints us ambassadors for Christ.

F. The Distinction Between the Indwelling of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
1. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is both permanent and functional,
while the indwelling of Jesus Christ is the guarantee of escrow blessing in
the believer's advance to maturity. The indwelling of Jesus Christ is also
in the body and is permanent.
2. There is definite evidence that the reversionistic believer does
not benefit from the indwelling of Jesus Christ, 2 Cor 13:5; Rev 3:20.

G. Oil illustrates the power of the indwelling of Holy Spirit.
1. Oil lubricates. Friction is removed from machines by oil, just as
the Holy Spirit removes friction between people.
2. Oil heals and is used for medicine. The Holy Spirit heals breaches
among believers.
3. Oil lights; the Holy Spirit illuminates the teaching of doctrine.
4. Oil propels; the Holy Spirit provides the thrust to maturity.
5. Oil invigorates; the Holy Spirit stimulates production.
6. Oil warms; the ministry of the Holy Spirit warms the life of the
believer in relationship to the Lord and other believers.
7. Oil adorns; the Holy Spirit provides inner beauty.

H. The Importance of the Power of the Spirit, 1 Kg 19:1-18. Elijah failed
to learn the importance of the Spirit-filled life. He was not indwelt with
the Spirit in the same sense that we are.

False. Had you any real inclination of what the Bible speaks, you would know that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unforgiveable. Repent while there is still sand in your hourglass.
