## Resource

In this sermon, Pastor Johnathan explores the contrast between Satan's plots and God's plan through the Holy Spirit. Using John 14:15-31 as his foundation, he explains that while Satan constantly schemes to lead us away from Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the "power behind the plan" working for our good. Pastor Johnathan emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is not a force or feeling, but the third person of the Trinity who has been present since creation (Genesis 1:2). The pastor clarifies common misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, categorizing people as uninformed, misinformed, or well-informed about the Spirit's role. He reminds us that obedience to Christ opens the door to intimacy with Him and true satisfaction, and that the Holy Spirit enables us to hold onto God's promises despite opposition. As Pastor Johnathan concludes, "Being filled with the Spirit is not how much of the Holy Spirit you have. It's how much of the Holy Spirit has you."
