In Episode 15 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. This conversation unpacks who the Holy Spirit is, why He is not a feeling or an idea but God Himself, and how He has been active from creation through to the church today.
Ps Brian traces the work of the Holy Spirit through the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, and the outpouring at Pentecost. He explains how the Holy Spirit moved externally in the Old Covenant and now lives within believers under the New Covenant. The episode highlights Acts 1 and Acts 2 as history’s great turning point and explains the promise of power to live and witness for Christ.
This episode also invites listeners into a deeper, ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit, encouraging prayer, waiting on God, and daily dependence. It concludes with an invitation to commit your life to Jesus and welcome the Holy Spirit’s work.
