JESUS and SPIRIT

 

Acts 10:38

King James Version

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 

with the Holy Ghost and with power: 

who went about doing good, 

and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; 

for God was with him.

How did the HOLY SPIRIT manifest Himself in JESUS?

What was JESUS able to do because of SPIRIT?

How did people react to His power?

First, we need to know this:

(We highlighted in red, proof of SPIRIT's presence.)

Matthew 1:18-20

King James Version

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: 

When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, 

before they came together, 

she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, 

being a just man, 

and not willing to make her a public example, 

was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, 

behold, 

the angel of the Lord appeared unto him 

in a dream, saying, 

Joseph, thou son of David, 

fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: 

for that which is conceived in her 

is of the Holy Ghost.

Mary was "found with child of the Holy ghost".

JESUS is "of the Holy Ghost".

Thus, JESUS is of the SPIRIT.

Is it any wonder SPIRIT's power in JESUS?

Many verses, and miracles, attest to that.

As in this chapter from Luke:

Luke 4:1-4

King James Version

4 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost 

returned from Jordan, 

and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. 

And in those days he did eat nothing: 

and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, 

If thou be the Son of God, 

command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, 

It is written, 

That man shall not live by bread alone, 

but by every word of God.

Luke 4:5-8

King James Version

5 And the devil, 

taking him up into an high mountain, 

shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world 

in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, 

All this power will I give thee, 

and the glory of them: 

for that is delivered unto me; 

and to whomsoever I will I give it.

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Get thee behind me, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.

Luke 4:9-13

King James Version

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, 

and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 

and said unto him, 

If thou be the Son of God, 

cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, 

He shall give his angels charge over thee, 

to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, 

lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answering said unto him, 

It is said, 

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, 

he departed from him for a season.

Luke 4:14-16

King James Version

14 And Jesus returned 

in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: 

and there went out a fame of him 

through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, 

being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, 

where he had been brought up: 

and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue 

on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

Luke 4:17-21

King James Version

17 And there was delivered unto him 

the book of the prophet Esaias. 

And when he had opened the book, 

he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 

because he hath anointed me 

to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives, 

and recovering of sight to the blind, 

to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, 

and he gave it again to the minister, 

and sat down. 

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 

were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, 

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Luke 4:28-32

King James Version

28 And all they in the synagogue, 

when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, 

and led him unto the brow of the hill 

whereon their city was built, 

that they might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them 

went his way,

31 And came down to Capernaum, 

a city of Galilee, 

and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: 

for his word was with power.

Luke 4:33-34

King James Version

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, 

which had a spirit of an unclean devil, 

and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, Let us alone; 

what have we to do with thee, 

thou Jesus of Nazareth? 

art thou come to destroy us? 

I know thee who thou art; 

the Holy One of God.

Luke 4:35-37

King James Version

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 

Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 

And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, 

he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, 

and spake among themselves, saying, 

What a word is this! 

for with authority and power he commandeth 

the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out 

into every place of the country round about.

Luke 4:38-39

King James Version

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, 

and entered into Simon's house. 

And Simon's wife's mother was taken 

with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, 

and rebuked the fever; 

and it left her: 

and immediately she arose 

and ministered unto them.

Luke 4:40

King James Version

40 Now when the sun was setting, 

all they that had any sick with divers diseases 

brought them unto him; 

and he laid his hands on every one of them, 

and healed them.

Luke 4:41

King James Version

41 And devils also came out of many, 

crying out, and saying, 

Thou art Christ the Son of God. 

And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: 

for they knew that he was Christ.

Luke 4:42-44

King James Version

42 And when it was day, 

he departed and went into a desert place: 

and the people sought him, 

and came unto him, 

and stayed him, 

that he should not depart from them.

43 And he said unto them, 

I must preach the kingdom of God 

to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

so I speak.

ye are the branches:

in that it was weak through the flesh,

condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, 

who walk not after the flesh, 

but after the Spirit.

Romans 9:15-16

King James Version

15 For he saith to Moses, 

I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,

nor of him that runneth, 

but of God that sheweth mercy.

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, 

which hath made us meet to be partakers 

of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, 

and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, 

the firstborn of every creature:

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, 

or dominions, or principalities, or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:

17 And he is before all things, 

and by him all things consist.

18 And he is the head of the body, 

the church: 

who is the beginning, 

the firstborn from the dead; 

that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father 

that in him should all fulness dwell;

20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, 

by him to reconcile all things unto himself; 

by him, I say, 

whether they be things in earth, 

or things in heaven.

Revelation 1:5-6

King James Version

5 And from Jesus Christ, 

who is the faithful witness, 

and the first begotten of the dead, 

and the prince of the kings of the earth. 

Unto him that loved us, 

and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests 

unto God and his Father; 

to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.

Revelation 1:10-18

King James Version

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, 

and heard behind me a great voice, 

as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the first and the last: and, 

What thou seest, 

write in a book, 

and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; 

unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, 

and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, 

and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. 

And being turned, 

I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks 

one like unto the Son of man, 

clothed with a garment down to the foot, 

and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, 

as white as snow; 

and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, 

as if they burned in a furnace; 

and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: 

and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: 

and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, 

I fell at his feet as dead. 

And he laid his right hand upon me, 

saying unto me, 

Fear not; 

I am the first and the last:

18 I am he that liveth, 

and was dead; 

and, behold, 

I am alive for evermore, 

Amen; 

and have the keys of hell and of death.

Revelation 19:11-13

King James Version

11 And I saw heaven opened, 

and behold a white horse; 

and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, 

and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, 

and on his head were many crowns; 

and he had a name written, 

that no man knew, 

but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: 

and his name is called The Word of God.

GOD's LOVE

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
