Fresh Oil!!! Lesson One of The Book of Acts!!!

Here is an outline we used as a guide for our introduction to the Book of Acts and the Power of the Holy Spirt. Feel free to use any of this. God Bless, Cochise

Fresh Oil (A Jack Hyles Sermon)

King David Was Anointed Three Times With Oil in the Old Testament, why? Each time he was selected to do a new job, a step up in grace, he was anointed with fresh oil. I Samuel 16:12,13- II Samuel 2:4-I Chronicles 11:3

The Holy Spirit is called "The Oil of Joy."

Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

It is important to understand the significance of oil when this was written. "Oil" does not refer to petroleum, but rather olive oil, a major crop at the time. It served as food, was burned in lamps for light, and was traded for other goods and currency.

This is also a most beautiful and suggestive name of Him whose fruit is first "love,", then "joy."

Galatians 5:22 [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Notice the word "fruit" is singular, not plural, the fruit of the Spirit is made up of all this attributes.

Did you know that oil, evaporates? Loses it's viscosity? Leaks out? Burns up? And that we often times must change it, or add to it. FRESH OIL!!!

The beginning of the Apostles receiving the Holy Spirt, A Foretaste Of Glory Divine!!!

John 20:19-22 King James Version 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

Greek word, "pnuema" = breath, wind, spirit, ghost.

“Begin Ye To Receive The Holy Spirit”. This was just a foretaste of what was about to come on the day of Penetcost!!! Acts 2:1-4

Let's start in Acts 1 and work our way through.

Verse 5; John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Verse 8 How The Gospel Will Be Spread!!! From home, outwards. Missions statrs at the house, in our town!!!

Verse 9 Left On A Cloud, He Will Return On A Cloud Of Glory (Rev.1:7) & Mat 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Everytime we need to take a step up in grace work, we need fresh oil!!!
