We review a few more aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. We conclude, noting that Old Testament ministry was glorious. New Testament ministry is to be more glorious. We must expect greater glory, greater manifestations of the Spirit in our time!

2. While the Testaments have changed,
the Spirit of God is still the same

3. John 14:16-17
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you
another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you
know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

4. Romans 15:4,13
4 For whatever things were written before were
written for our learning, that we through the patience
and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope 13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and
peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by
the power of the Holy Spirit.

5. The Hand of the Lord-
-The touch of the Holy Spirit
-The presence of the Holy Spirit
-The divine empowerment of the Holy Spirit

6. Elijah – Supernatural physical ability
1 Kings 18:45-46
45 Now it happened in the meantime that the sky
became black with clouds and wind, and there was a
heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. 46
Then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah; and he
girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the
entrance of Jezreel.

7. Elisha – Music & the Prophetic
2 Kings 3:15-16
15 But now bring me a musician.” Then it happened,
when the musician played, that the hand of the Lord
came upon him. 16 And he said, “Thus says the Lord:
‘Make this valley full of ditches.’

8. Elisha – Word of Knowledge
2 Kings 6:11,12
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was
greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his
servants and said to them, “Will you not show me
which of us is for the king of Israel?”
12 And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O
king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the
king of Israel the words that you speak in your
bedroom.”

through Elisha when compared to Elijah

1. There are different measures/levels of
anointing. The Lord Jesus walked in the
‘Spirit without measure’ – John 3:34

11. The Anointing - Impartation & Transfer
1. There are different measures/levels of

12. The Anointing - Impartation & Transfer
1. There are different measures/levels of
anointing. The Lord Jesus walked in the

13. The Anointing - Impartation & Transfer
4. Elijah & John the Baptist
Although separated by hundreds of years.
(Luke 1:16,17 ; Matt 11:14, 17:1-12; Mal 4:5,6)
-Transfer of anointing – a reality.
-All or only certain aspects of the work of the
Holy Spirit in a person’s life is transferred.

14. God’s heart –
Isaiah 59:21
21 “As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant
with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My
words which I have put in your mouth, shall not
depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of
your descendants, nor from the mouth of your
descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from
this time and forevermore.”

15. Ezekiel 3:14
14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away,
and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit;
but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

16. Ezekiel 37:1
1 The hand of the Lord came upon me and
brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set
me down in the midst of the valley; and it was
full of bones.

17. Zechariah 4:6
6 So he answered and said to me: “This is the
word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.

18. 2 Corinthians 3:6-8
6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new
covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the
letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

19. 2 Corinthians 3:6-8
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved
on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel
could not look steadily at the face of Moses because
of the glory of his countenance, which glory was
passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not
be more glorious?
