The Power Encounter (4 of 5)
Series: Encountering the Holy Spirit
Pastor Frank Damazio
Introduction: The Book of Acts will be our text as we see the Holy Spirit active: speaking, directing the work of the church. The Spirit is the power on which the church was built and cities turned upside down. We see that the Spirit is given with power and purpose.
I. ENCOUNTERING THE HOLY SPIRIT
A. DEFINITIONS
1. Holy Spirit encounter: An extraordinary divine appointment with God's presence and power that radically revolutionizes your life and refreshes you with strength and sharpened vision
2. Infilling encounter: Living life full f the Holy Spirit, thus living in an overflow of Holy Spirit activity
3. Empowering encounter: Encountering the power of the Holy Spirit that results in a new level of passion for praying in the Spirit and by the Spirit

To move with focus and persistence
To proceed without delay
