What the Bible says about the Threefold Relationship of the Holy Spirit with Men, pt. 4

THE THIRD RELATIONSHIP
The third Greek word, epi, upon or over, used to describe the relationship of the Holy Spirit with men is found in the Book of Acts, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). Here Jesus is referring to the overflowing work of the Spirit in a persons life, as He described it in John 7:37-39, “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” The prophet Isaiah spoke of God pouring out the Holy Spirit on the believer, “For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring.” (Isaiah 44:3) And again, “The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” (Isaiah 58:11).
