Holy Spirit for Every Person

Drawing from Scripture and the early church, this sermon breaks down common misconceptions and re-centers us on God’s promise. The Holy Spirit isn’t an upgrade for elite believers; He is a gift God wants to give to all who believe. This teaching invites us to remove fear, doubt, and hesitation—and simply receive what God has already offered.

Key Takeaways

The Promise Is Universal The Holy Spirit is for you, your children, and all who are far off. God never intended His Spirit to be limited by culture, personality, or past mistakes.
Receiving Is Biblical and Simple Just as we receive salvation by faith, we receive the Holy Spirit by faith. God is a good Father who delights in giving the Spirit to those who ask.
Fear Is the Greatest Barrier Many people don’t receive because of fear—fear of the unknown, fear of losing control, fear of what others might think. Scripture reminds us that God gives good gifts, never harmful ones.
Power With Purpose The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live boldly, love deeply, overcome sin, and be effective witnesses. The Spirit isn’t about spectacle—it’s about transformation and mission.

The question isn’t if the Holy Spirit is for you.The question is whether you’re willing to receive what God has already promised.The Holy Spirit is for every person—including you.

Message Notes

1 Corinthians 12:7 (NLT) — 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.

1. Every person RECEIVING.

Luke 11:13 (NLT) — 13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
HE is for ALL.
He comes UPON.
His presence PRODUCES MANIFESTATION.
Your heart needs to be completely RECEPTIVE.

2. Every person FOLLOWING.

Galatians 5:25 (NLT) — 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
The Holy Spirit is SPEAKING, He is PROMPTING, He is URGING
Obedience strengthens our ability to follow.

3. Every person FLOWING.

1 Corinthians 12:8- 11 (NLT) — 8 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. 9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.
The wind is in our sails, and we’re out on the open water, we are moving with Him.
A spiritual manifestation is given to each one for the benefit of all
1. The Spirit wants to manifest through you!
2. He wants to be seen by working through you.
3. He wants to build through you.

4. Every person CONTRIBUTING

1 Corinthians 14:26 (NLT) — 26 Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.
Church is not a spectator sport, get your uniform on and get ready to play!
