The Holy Spirit was poured out onto the church so that the
church can have Christ’s power inside of them to go and make disciples,
teaching them to obey Jesus’ command, with all the authority in them from
Christ. The Holy Spirit connects to the Missio
Dei because that is part of the entire thing—God sending his Son to then
send the Holy Spirit, to then collectively send out the Church as a whole. If
it wasn’t for the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of Christians that it would be up
to us by ourselves to make disciples. With The Holy Spirit we have no reason to
hold back, no reason to fear. “Christ, who has all authority, lives inside of
us and is inviting us to participate in furthering the Kingdom of God.” The
power that raised Christ from the grave lives IN US. The Holy Spirit is our
helper and our counselor.
