The Holy Spirit has been working and moving since before the dawn of time. Our tendency is to isolate the Spirit to period of Pentecost, but the Holy Spirit has been an active part in history and lives in us today. Adam Barnett begins our study of the Third Person of the Trinity by encouraging us to be led by this powerful Presence in our lives.

The Holy Spirit cannot be isolated into one singular event in history. (Pentecost)
Galatians 5:13-15 NIV
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
Freedom is not a license to sin, but a mandate to love.
Galatians 5:16-18 NIV
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
“I know that in * [INSERT NAME]*, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing.”
— Romans 7:18 (paraphrase)
