 Welcome back. We'll continue from where we left off. So you're looking at how the Holy Spirit is a creator. We see that he is not only the creator, but he's also the creative being and he imparts that creativity. When we say the Holy Spirit is a teacher, this is also something that he teaches. He gives the ability to create to others and he did so and that is what we see in the Old Testament. So what he did in the Old Testament times, he's ready, willing to do it in our day and time as well. So we were looking at Numbers 11 and we see that the elders who were there, they also received the work of the Holy Spirit and which we saw that it is actually the whole ability to lead, the ability that a leader needs. Maybe it is to have the vision, it is to give direction. It is maybe wisdom to choose between what is right and wrong, discernment to choose between what is right and all that. The Lord ensured that the 70 elders also received and then they could carry that burden of responsibility. So we see that happening. So it's very encouraging for us. Maybe some of us are thinking maybe you're running a business, maybe you're leading a ministry, maybe you're a pastor. Some of us here, it could be that or maybe you're heading a small group, maybe a small Bible study, a fellowship. Maybe you're called to lead that, you're a spiritual leader. Now sometimes you feel that this burden is so heavy. I feel that everything comes upon me, everybody's asking me what to do. Everybody's looking to me for direction and what should we do next? And it seems to be so heavy. So we can be encouraged because the Holy Spirit who did this during the time of Moses, he can do the same thing for us today. Even as we pray and ask, Lord, this leadership ability, God give it to some of the others in the team. Same vision, same kind of passion, same kind of wisdom and ability. You just give as you choose, Lord, some of these leaders, some of these elders who are there and the Lord will carry that or do that for us so that we can do our ministry, we can enjoy doing the work of the Lord and there will be others who will come alongside and carry that weight of responsibility along with us. So we see several other things, also we see Numbers 27, 18, we read about Joshua. That is interesting, let's go there. See there are several other scriptures which are mentioned there and I'm just skipping that but since these are there in the notes, I just want to encourage us to read through, maybe after the class or before next class, you can read through that. And we'll get an understanding of what all the other things that the Holy Spirit did. So we're looking at Numbers 27 and verse 18. The Lord is giving some instruction to Moses again. Now Numbers 27 verse 18, the Lord said to Moses, take Joshua, the son of Nun, with you, a man in whom is the spirit and lay your hand on him. Set him before Ilias the priest and before all the congregation and inaugurate him in their sight. Verse 23, go down to verse 23 and he laid his hands on him and inaugurated him just as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. So verse 22 also says, Moses did as the Lord commanded and he took Joshua and set him before Ilias the priest and before all the congregation. So the Lord is asking Moses to do something. There is Joshua who's been trained under Moses, who's been helping Moses and he's seen everything throughout the journey. So the Lord gives Moses specific instruction. Take Joshua, you lay hands on him and I'm going to do something. Set him before the people, inaugurate him as the leader. Moses does that. Now let's turn to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 34. Deuteronomy 34 and verse 9. Deuteronomy 34 verse 9. Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the children of Israel heeded him just as the Lord had commanded Moses. So it says Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom for Moses had laid his hands on him so that the children of Israel heeded him. So what happened there? There was something that the Lord did for Joshua even as Moses obeyed the Lord. The same thing that he did with the elders, he did something like that here. So the leadership mantle that was upon Moses now was upon Joshua and it says here and the children of Israel heeded him, meaning they obeyed him, they listened to him even as Joshua led. So we see that the whole mantle of leadership, the Holy Spirit transfers onto Joshua. So we read that. And we see that in the Old Testament, we're going to see the difference between how the Lord worked in the Old Testament and how he did in the New Testament, how he does in the New Testament. So we're going to look at, study that difference. But we see that when we go through the book of Judges, we see that the Holy Spirit comes upon a person. He comes upon a person for a particular assignment for that lifetime of that person. And what is that assignment to lead the people? There was no leader, there were what we call as judges and these were the people who were leading. These were the leaders who were leading the people, the children of Israel. So these were the judges. So the Holy Spirit would come upon these judges during their lifetime and they would lead the people of Israel. So we see, let's look at Judges 3 and verse 9. So we are moving on, going to Judges chapter 3 and then verse 9. Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel who delivered them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. Verse 10, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he judged Israel. So what did the Lord do? The Spirit of the Lord came upon this person and he judged. What does judge mean? What does it mean to judge? Is it a good thing to judge or is it a bad thing? What do you think? Online students, is it good to judge or bad to judge? We have a book called Judges. It's a bad. And all they did was judging. It's a bad thing. It's a bad thing. Okay. So Pankaj says it's a bad thing to judge. Then what were all these judges doing? Right. So, you know, we look at Judges 3 and verse 10, you look at that. The Spirit of the Lord came upon who? Othniel. And it says, and he judged Israel. Okay, so judging is to discern, is to impart wisdom. To judge is to actually choose between two options or many options and say, okay, this is good judgment. Okay, this is what I am judging. This is what I am choosing. Okay, so all of us, we judge every day. Okay, like you eat something and you come to the conclusion, hey, this is tasty. I want some more. Right, you eat some food or you drink something and say, this is nice. I think I would. So what are you making? You're making a judgment. What is a judgment? You're saying, okay, is this suitable? Is this good? Is this bad? Or maybe you taste something and you don't like it so much. And you're saying, okay, I'm not going to eat that. You made a judgment. Right. So, all of us judge, you know, when we go on the streets, on the road, when you're going and we see a signal and we judge, hey, is it green or red? Right. And if it's red and if you go past the signal, you will be fine. There could be some accident. So it's a bad judgment. Right. You're supposed to stand, stop at the signal, but you did not. So it's a bad judgment. It is green and you're supposed to go. You go. It's a good judgment. You judge correctly. So judging is good. Judging is necessary and we judge every day. Right. The thing is, I think what Pankaj is referring to is, you know, the Lord says, you know, don't judge before it's time. Okay. So you judge something before it's time. You judge something in order to condemn it. Right. You judge something with a set of maybe baby values that are not right. Then that is bad judgment. Right. So the Lord says, don't judge before it's time. So it's in the context of maybe, you know, judging too hastily or even judging with the view of just condemning, you know, writing off rejecting. So all of us judge. So these judges were leading people and the Holy Spirit was giving them the ability to judge. So again, the whole thing of leadership, wisdom for leading, you know, maybe, I don't know how many of us have, you know, lead people. Right. Right now, maybe some of us are not. And then we're thinking, okay, you know, what is the big thing in leading people? What is the big thing in leading a nation? What is the big thing in, you know, everybody does it. I'm sure it's, it is difficult. There's a lot of pressure. There's a lot of expectation. Right. And certain, certain choices or certain decisions that you make will have far reaching consequences. Right. So it's a lot of pressure, a lot of expectation and you need to judge right. A lot of wisdom is required. A lot of discernment. So the Holy Spirit came upon these judges so that they could judge righteously so that they could lead the people. Right. Both Nail, the Lord came upon him. The Holy Spirit came upon him and he judged Israel. Okay. So then we read about Gideon in chapter six. Right. Judges chapter six and verse 34. It says, but the spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon. Then he blew the trumpet and the Abysserites gathered behind him. So here, if you read, you know, versus prior to that, what is Gideon doing? Gideon is threshing wheat. Okay. And he's doing it undercover because the people called the Midianites come, invade, they take away, they plunder. Basically, they destroy the crops, they take away whatever livestock and everything is there. They take it from the Israelites and they go. They steal plunder. Okay. And so for fear that whatever crop he is, you know, pressing, they will come and take it. He's doing it undercover. He's doing it in a wine press. That's where he is threshing the wheat. So the angel comes to him and he says, arise, O man of valor. You mighty man. So Gideon's response is, you have the wrong address. You've come to the wrong place. You've come to the wrong man. I'm not that. Right. This is my background. This is my family background. You've come to the wrong place. The angel says, the Lord is with you. You mighty man of valor. Okay. But see, the whole thing changes. When the spirit of the Lord comes upon Gideon, then he blew the trumpet and the people gather around him and he goes and, you know, he goes on his assignment. Right. And the Lord says, so Gideon says, Lord, if you will save Israel by the hand, as you have said, then he goes on to, you know, we know that story of the fleece. Right. He puts out a fleece in order to test and check, you know, with God. You know, is it really you who's spoken and so on. But the thing is that the spirit of the Lord comes upon Gideon and he goes about to fulfill the assignment. Okay. So for that assignment of leading, for that assignment, he had to, you know, leave the people in conquests. Okay. So maybe in today's time, it is how we need to maybe fulfill or achieve certain things, maybe plan and execute certain things. Right. So the Holy Spirit comes upon and he empowers, gives the ability to do that. So Holy Spirit does that. Right. So we see that in the life of Gideon. Also, you know, like Samson and so on. So in Samson's case, it was supernatural strength and then the Lord, the Holy Spirit came upon him. Okay. So let's go to, let's go to first and second Samuel. Right. Let's look at first Samuel chapter three and verse one. Okay. We're moving on quickly. First Samuel chapter three and verse one. Okay. Now it says here, the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli and the word of the Lord was rare in those days. There was no widespread revelation. Okay. First Samuel chapter three, verse nine. Let's go on to verse 19. So Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground and all Israel from Dan to Beishiba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the Lord. Then the Lord appeared again in Shiloh for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord. So something is happening here that Samuel is established as a prophet. Who is a prophet? Prophet so and so. Samuel is a prophet, prophet Isaiah. Who is a prophet? Okay. Prophet is someone who conveys a message from God. Okay. One who tells about the future. Okay. Prophet. Hindi. Bhavishivani. Right. Bhavishita. Okay. Prophet. So. Prophet is simply a person who hears from God and proclaims or declass it to the people who hears from God and does that or obeys, carries out what needs to be done. Right. So here it says there then the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground in the sense there was a fulfillment of whatever words or whatever instructions or something that he prophesied, Samuel prophesied. Okay. Now prophecy comes by the spirit of the Lord and it is not just the man or not because of man's ability. Okay. We see in first Samuel chapter nine and verse nine. Okay. First Samuel nine and verse nine says when a man went for many Israel and a man meant to inquire of the Lord, he spoke thus, come let us go to the seer for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer. So when people wanted to inquire of God, now God, the Holy Spirit would come upon people and enable them to do certain things. Right. In the case of judges, you would come upon and they would judge, they would lead, they would lead into some, you know, conquest and so on. Right. So here we see that when people wanted to hear from God, they would go to a prophet and it says here that there was, it was formerly called a seer. Seer is a person who sees. Right. He has a revelation of what God is showing and that's it. Right. So here people would go to a prophet, people go to a seer and the prophet would prophesy by the spirit of the Lord. Okay. They would say, this is what the Lord is saying. This is what the Lord wants to do. This is what the Lord is saying to you in your situation. And it is by the spirit of the Lord, meaning the spirit of the Lord gives the ability to the prophet to hear. The spirit of the Lord gives the message to share or the instruction to carry out and the prophet does that. Okay. So spirit of the Lord comes upon Samuel. Okay. Let's see another scripture. First Samuel chapter 10. So we are in chapter nine. Let's move on to chapter 10. Okay. Chapter 10 and worse. Yeah. Somebody. Okay. Yeah. You have a question, Julie. I see that your hand is raised. So do you have a question? You can type it out. Okay. Back connection maybe dropped out of the call. Fine. So we look at chapter 10 and verse five onwards. Okay. Let's just read chapter 10 verse five. And this is what Samuel is saying. Okay. After you have come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is and it will happen when you come there to the city that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute and a harp before them and they will be prophesying. So we see during this time prophets, the Spirit of the Lord would come upon the prophets as he did upon the judges and during their lifetime, during their life assignment, he would give the instruction, he would give the messages and the prophets would prophesy or proclaim, share that message or carry out that instruction. Okay. So here Samuel is saying that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from a high place and they will also carry some music instruments and they will be prophesying. Look at verse six. Now Samuel is having a conversation with Saul, King Saul and this is what he's saying. He's telling King Saul, then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophesy with them and you will be turned into another man. Okay. And then we go on to verse 10. Then they came to the hill. There was a group of prophets to meet him. Then the Spirit of God came upon him and he prophesied among them. Now a couple of things to note here. Now Samuel, he prophesied by the Spirit of the Lord. He was saying, this is what will happen to Saul, King Saul. He said, Saul, you will go there and you will see this group of prophets coming down and they will be carrying some instruments. You see all the information that God has given Samuel. You will see this group. They will come down. They will be carrying these instruments and they will be prophesying. Then the Spirit of God, then the Holy Spirit will fill you, will come upon you and you will also prophesy along with them. Okay. And then we read verse 10. We see that that is how it was when it came to the hill. There was a group of prophets to meet. Spirit of God came upon him and he prophesied among them. So we see Prophet Samuel talking about this, giving this information, something about the future that's going to happen and it happened so. The Lord, people testify that the Lord did not allow the words of Samuel to fall to the ground. So which means that it came to pass. It was a complete, it was fulfilled. Okay. So we see the prophecy fulfilled here and as Saul, in Saul's life, he was filled or he was Holy Spirit came upon him and he prophesied. Okay. He spoke how he declared the words of the Lord. Okay. Let's look at one more strip shell. Okay. So what do we understand from this? The Spirit of the Lord causes people to prophesy. Yes or no? That's a simple conclusion. So if the Spirit of the Lord cost or enabled Samuel to prophesy, enabled the King Saul to prophesy, who was in no way called a prophet or anything, but if the Spirit of the Lord can do that, can he do that today? Yes. Right. So prophecy is for today. The Spirit of the Lord can enable ordinary people to prophesy. It could be information about the future. It could be something that the Lord freshly wants to bring to these people. So the Holy Spirit can do that even today. That's something that we understand. So we've been looking at, you know, quite a few things that the Spirit of God does. Creation, creativity, right? And, you know, leadership, judgment, judging discernment. And here we see spiritual gifts like, or spiritual activity like prophesying. The same Holy Spirit, right? You see, he moves in so much, you know, diversity and so different ways he functions. All that we see as we go through the Old Testament. Okay. Okay, then let's look at David, David's life, right? Second Samuel 23 and verse 2. Second Samuel chapter 23 and verse 2. Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David, the son of Jesse. Thus says the man raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel. He says in verse 2, the Spirit of the Lord spoke by me and his word was on my tongue. Okay. So we know King David, we know about the Psalms he wrote, about the songs that he wrote, about the instruments that he, you know, the tabernacle that he set up, the whole worship that he set up. We learn all that about King David. So it says here that David is testifying, he's saying the Spirit of the Lord spoke by me. Okay. Which is again prophesying, prophesying, right? And his word was on my tongue. Okay. So the Spirit of the Lord enabled him to write those songs, enabled him to declare those songs and declare whatever prophetic utterance that, that is there in the Psalms. Who did it? The Spirit of the Lord. Okay. So we might be thinking, okay, you know, can I, can I release some songs or songs? Right. And I feel that I have this ability and yes, the Holy Spirit can enable us to do that. As he did in the psalmist's life, the Spirit of the Lord saying that I spoke by the Spirit of the Lord. Okay. So here, let's look at 2 Samuel 7 and verses 1 to 17. So David says this towards the end of his life. Let's look at 2 Samuel 7 where and verses 1 to 17, right? Okay. This is King Nathan. I'm sorry, prophet Nathan and he goes to the King and he says, he prophesies to him. Verse 3 we see. 2 Samuel 7 and verse 3. Then Nathan said to the King, go do all that is in your heart for the Lord is with you. Okay. Verse 4. And it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan saying, go tell my servant David. Thus says the Lord, would you build a house for me to dwell in? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt even to this day but I have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. Whatever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel and so on? So verse 8. Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the sheep fold, from following the sheep to be ruler over my people, over Israel and so on. And then he says, in verse, verses 15, 16, is prophesying and your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever according to all these words and according to all this vision. So Nathan spoke to David. So Nathan was a prophet. So he received prophetic utterance about David, about what David has to do and about how the Lord had brought him from being a shepherd to be a leader of people and he says here if you see verse 17 and according to all this vision, which means that Nathan, he received this prophetic utterance in a vision. And who gave that? The Lord gave, the Holy Spirit caused him to receive that and declare that. The Lord uses Nathan to also reveal some information that none, nobody knew or David tied to hide about his sin. His sin of adultery. We read that in 2 Samuel chapter 12. 2 Samuel 12 was at 1 to 14 and Nathan has this conversation. He meets with David and he confronts the sin that he did and the Lord it says here verse 12, sorry chapter 12 verse 1. Then the Lord sent Nathan to David and he came to him and begins to give the prophecy. Okay. So Charles here says, can you touch a little on the group of people who say prophecy is not for today and then they all ended in the book of and they all ended in the book of Acts. Okay. So we're going to study about prophecy as one of the gifts of the Spirit. So the thing is Brother, your mic is on mute brother. Oh sorry, how long has it been muted? Since the question started. For what? When you read the question, brother, half Charles. Okay. I think I accidentally touched that. So sorry about that. So we see that Paul is writing to the Corinthian church and is giving them instruction how the gift should be actually used and so on. So we know that even in the Corinthian church the gifts were there. So nowhere do we see these gifts stopping or running out. The same Holy Spirit was leading them. So anyway, we will study in detail about these gifts. So I think Andrew has a question. Andrew and Anusha you can go ahead and probably type out your question please or ask them. Andrew No questions sir. Your mic was on mute so that's why I raised the hand. Oh okay, you're just pointing out the mic. Got it. Okay, fine. Thank you. So we see that I hope that helps Charles. So let's move on. We move on to Elijah 1 Kings 18 and verse 12. So as we go through this through these books as we just go through the Old Testament we see the work of the Spirit here and there and we see the varied ways in which the Holy Spirit is working, ministering, functioning. So we see all that. So let's look at 1 Kings 18 and we're reading verse 12. So this is the conversation between Elijah and this person by name Obadiah. So Elijah meets with Obadiah and he has this conversation. So let's see maybe let's look at verse 7. Now as Obadiah was on his way suddenly Elijah met him and he recognized him and fell on his knees. And then Elijah says it is I go tell your master Elijah is here. So he said, how have I sinned that you are delivering your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill. Now we know that you know Ahab was a ruler. He was a pretty, you know, not a righteous ruler. So he and the Jezebel massacred the prophets of Lord so Obadiah is a person who has actually taken some prophets and it protected them in the verses before that he had taken about 100 prophets and hidden them, 50 in a cave and so on and fed them. So he knows that Ahab is not a good man. He's not a good ruler. So here Elijah is saying go tell your master or go tell Ahab that Elijah is here. So he's very troubled Obadiah is troubled and he says have I sinned that you're delivering your servant into the hand of Ahab. Now look at this, you know, as the Lord, I'm looking at verse 10, as the Lord your God lives there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sinned someone to hunt for you when they say he is not here he took an oath from the kingdom that they would nation that they could not find you go tell your master Elijah is here. Now verse 12 is very interesting says and it shall come to pass as soon as I'm gone from you that the spirit of the Lord will carry you to a place that I do not know. So this means that Obadiah it was a common occurrence in those days. He was aware of this that the spirit of the Lord could do this to the people of God or to the prophets. It says here verse 12, it came to pass as soon as I've gone from you that the spirit of the Lord will carry you to a place I do not know and when I go and tell Ahab and he cannot find you he will kill me for I but I have served and have feared the Lord from my youth. So we see that some supernatural works of the Holy Spirit. So he's saying the Holy Spirit will take you away physically from a place and people cannot find you. Ahab cannot find you and therefore you'll be angry and it will be like me giving him wrong information and I will be put to death. So that is something that we see. Now we see a paddle to this in the book of Acts when we read about in chapter 8 and we read about Philip what happens is Philip is we are going to look at the book of Acts verse by lot of verses but we see that Philip in the book of Acts is actually giving water baptism to the Ethiopian official Ethiopian unit. So when the Ethiopian official comes out of the water Philip is not there Philip is not there physically in that place he is not found and it says the Spirit of the Lord actually took him right. So the Holy Spirit is all powerful and if he so chooses in his plan and will and purpose he can actually do this. He is God. He is the God supernatural God miraculous God who did it in so it seems to be a common thing there. So the Holy Spirit will do that Spirit of God will do that and then I will be in trouble and we see in the book of Acts the same thing the Spirit of God actually takes Philip away from that place where he baptizes the Ethiopian unit. So just for us to know that the Holy Spirit does things that go beyond our understanding that go beyond our our learning of this is how the natural laws operate. Holy Spirit is well able to do the miraculous right. So he is God. He is well able to do the miraculous it's like saying okay everybody sitting in class and suddenly I say let's bow our heads and pray you all close your eyes and when you open your eyes I'm not there it's as you know it's like that as supernatural as that it's not a natural thing for a person to just disappear like that it will take some time I have to go there go up the stairs and go and by then I'm sure many people will open their eyes and see because it's taking some time or it's going to I've made some noise and all that what we understand is God the Holy Spirit is above the natural laws above because he's the creator right. He is the God who does the miraculous and the supernatural okay so the for them they had an understanding of it they acknowledged it and say yeah God you are able to do that and some of them experienced it like Philip and so on okay okay let's you can go through some of these scriptures and yeah let's go on to you can read about Elisha also how Elisha was filled with the spirit and so on I'm going on to you know 1st Chronicles chapter 12 okay 1st Chronicles chapter 12 okay so 1st Chronicles 12 and verse 17 verse 17 and 18 okay so it says here then David went out to meet them now it's talking about the sons of Benjamin and Judah who came to meet David and this is actually like David's army is growing and people have come to meet David in order to give them their support right so David went out to meet them and answered and said to them if you have come peaceably to me to help me my heart will be united with you but if to betray me to my enemies since there is no wrong in my hands may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment then the spirit of God came upon Amasai, chief of the captains and he said we are yours or David we are on your side or son of Jesse peace peace to you and peace to your helpers for our God helps you so David received them and made them captain of the troop captains of the troop so we see something here that the spirit of the Lord is coming upon these mighty warriors and he is bringing them gathering them and uniting them under the leadership of David something like what he would he did in Joshua something similar for a purpose for an assignment is actually there it was actually giving that leadership ability to others here the Lord is gathering those leaders to work under this king or king to be David for a particular purpose so what is he doing he is actually brought them so it says here then the spirit of the Lord came upon Amasai and Amasai gives his allegiance to David and he says we are yours we are on your side we are here to to be with you for our God helps you so what do we learn from this there is something to be learned here that the spirit of God can actually gather unite people put maybe the vision that God has given put that in their hearts as well and gather them for a particular purpose ok now David was looking for people who can come and help and so on but here we see that people are coming and saying we are with you we are with you for this particular cause we will fight alongside you ok so we see that then what else do we see we move on to chapter 28 ok we look at chapter 28 and verse 12 ok maybe let's let's read a few verses earlier ok let's read from verse 10 ok first chronicles chapter 28 verse 10 consider now for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary be strong and do it ok who is saying these words David to Solomon ok and then verse 11 then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule its houses its treasuries its upper chambers its inner chambers and the place of the mercy seat ok and the plans for all that he had by the spirit of the courts of the house of the Lord of all the chambers around treasuries of the house of God and so on and goes on to great detail right so plans for the building of the temple was given to David now he's passing on to Solomon and he's saying the plans he had by the spirit ok so David did not David you know we must understand he was a shepherd boy who sang well and wrote some nice songs that was again by the spirit of the Lord by the spirit of the Lord which means the Holy Spirit helped and empowered him to write that ok almost ok I just need to plug in my charger just give me a minute please excuse me ok sorry about that ok so we see here that this entire design for the temple which was built by Solomon now looking at David we know that he was a shepherd he didn't go to any architectural college of architecture or anything like that but it says here that he got the design for the temple by the Holy Spirit and why not the same Holy Spirit who could give the intricate design you know for the artisans or for the workmanship of creating jewelry and fabric and so on the same Holy Spirit is giving David the design for the temple now we know that just before building something there is a blueprint the architects would be carrying a blueprint would be carrying so what does the blueprint have it's a plan where do the windows go where does the door go how many windows in this particular place how wide should it be how long should it be and probably later you decide this should be the color of the wall this should be how many electrical points should be there and so on so the same kind of design God has given David by the Spirit which means he just got a download, a divine download in his spirit and he is now telling his son you know this is what this is how the design should be and the Holy Spirit gave me this so let's stop here so we understand that the Holy Spirit is God Holy Spirit is God he is capable and he is able to do so many wonderful things and this is what he did in the lives of these people right and this is the same God whom we worship now he's not changed his way of working has changed which we will study but he is the same God right so when we know that Holy Spirit is a person and he is more than willing to talk to us spend time with us and he desires that we spend time with him and when we understand the Holy Spirit moves in amazing wonderful ways and he gives ability gives the special ideas and creativity we can actually we have
