Yes. 23 00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:33,700 It search last year in 2022. Our team was all about our God, 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,900 you know we have the different attributes of God and for those 25 00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:38,000 of you actually received a calendar as you would have 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,500 noticed that the word oh was you know kind of like we did a cut 27 00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,500 right through all the way to December and it's pretty much to 28 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,900 symbolically say you know that God has to be present, he has to 29 00:01:50,908 --> 00:01:52,800 be marked in. Every month. 30 00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:58,300 And so this year, as we start, you know, we've have a theme. 31 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:02,000 We have a, we have a passage which we really want us to look 32 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,400 into. I believe, God's going to speak 33 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,900 specifically to us as a church, as we navigate 2023, but more 34 00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,300 than anything I want us all to be prepared. 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,000 That we wouldn't take this time lightly because I believe God's 36 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,300 wanting to set the course right for us. 37 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:18,700 So that we are on the right track. 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,800 I don't know how, you know, as we Start today, you're probably 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,200 for you. It's just seems like another 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,200 day, you know, for some of us, it might just feel like, you 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,600 know what, 22 was a great year and 2023 and I'm expecting for 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,700 something greater to happen or for some of you, it could have 43 00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:38,700 just been a flat line. You know? 44 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,400 One of those graphs that we see a flat line, but nothing 45 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,500 happened. If you have to recall about when 46 00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:46,500 you trying to be like, you know, to just like any other year, you 47 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,100 have nothing, significant spiritually or probably even 48 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:54,100 physically your work to see me. The same, your friends with the 49 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:58,100 same, everything just went on as normal offer. 50 00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:00,800 Some of you, the curve could have been like those sine curves 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,300 going up and down, but you had moments of highs and you had 52 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,000 moments of laws or for some of you. 53 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,100 It could have just been one of those curves which went, which 54 00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:12,900 was on a high earlier in 2021 and then it just went bottom 55 00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:14,800 down in 2022. So I don't know what your 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,200 experience is our. It can be varied but if there's 57 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,800 one thing I know for sure is the fact that We need God more than 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,900 ever before. You might be spiritually. 59 00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,900 Weak, emotionally dry, physically, weak spiritually 60 00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,800 dry. The combinations can vary. 61 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,000 However, you feel, we need the Holy Spirit. 62 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,800 And so today, our theme for the entire is called catch the wind, 63 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,400 it's called catch the wind. You heard me, right? 64 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,100 We're going to catch the wind. Who is this wind that you're 65 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,700 talking about? This wind is none other than the 66 00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,600 Holy Spirit. This holy spirit is God, one of 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,400 the three forms in which God manifests himself and he's the 68 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,700 one who was promised for us and, you know, in Luke 24:49. 69 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:08,000 He's the one who Jesus told his disciples. 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,300 I'm going, but I'm sending another helper to you. 71 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,300 He's going to be constantly with you. 72 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,000 And so if you read that, it goes on to say, I'm going to send you 73 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,800 what my father has promised, but stay in the city until you have 74 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,400 been clothed with Will someone? Hi so today church if one thing 75 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,200 I want to start right as we need to be clothed with his power on 76 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200 high so that we can start this here, right? 77 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,900 You and me don't have the strength to do it on our own you 78 00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,400 and me don't have the sustenance. 79 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,700 We can probably physically build, we can now help with that 80 00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:44,200 endurance, but all those are just for a particular, it just 81 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,500 helps us make feel good. But in the situations that we 82 00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,300 feel we need to operate out of the power that comes from a pie 83 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:56,100 and he's willing to give that power if we wait on him that 84 00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,500 same power, which I'm talking about is what happened in the 85 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,500 day of Pentecost. And the reason why we say cats 86 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:06,600 the wind is because, you know, the manifestation of the Holy 87 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,200 Spirit which happened in Acts 2, verses 1 to 4 is that it came 88 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 like a rushing wind. It came on everyone who was 89 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,600 waiting there. He's distinctively operating. 90 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,300 He doesn't, you know, have a common pool which he saying, you 91 00:05:21,308 --> 00:05:21,900 know what? This is what? 92 00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,200 Going to give all of you. He distinctively caters to each 93 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800 and every one of us in our Brokenness. 94 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,800 He comes, he ministers, he mends, he shapes, he helps us in 95 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,700 our emptiness. He comes and fills us and shows 96 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,900 us what it is like to have the infilling of the holy spirit in 97 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:41,500 our doubts, he dispels doubts and gives his promises so that 98 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:46,000 we hold on to him. So today, what is it that the 99 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,500 Holy Spirit has to come into your life for? 100 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,900 Are you willing to catch the wind is my question, clear. 101 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,700 To you. And as we look, you might be 102 00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,700 thinking guest room, is this, just a part of the New 103 00:05:57,700 --> 00:05:59,300 Testament? It was evident in the Old 104 00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:03,900 Testament, the Old Testament. He came on, select few in the 105 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:07,500 New Testament, he came for all in the Old Testament. 106 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:12,100 He came to a group of people who were, you know, Remnant who are 107 00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:15,400 following God, who are doing what he asked, who actually took 108 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000 time to hear from him, they were the prophets, they were the 109 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000 people who, you know, had dedicated their lives to do, 110 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,400 what God's call them. To do. 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,900 And so the manifestation that came upon their lives was one 112 00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:30,500 with power, they did Miracles. They God of Glory was seen in 113 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:34,100 and through them, but when we move into the New Testament, the 114 00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:36,600 promise is he's there for entirety of mankind. 115 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,300 Not just for the Jews. But for the Gentiles, not for 116 00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,900 just a select you but all those who call on his name. 117 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,000 And so today, are you the one who's calling on his name? 118 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,100 Are you the one who's calling on his name? 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,200 So, the team was that we've taken for the entire year. 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,700 Is from John chapter 7, John chapter 7 and the worst goes is 121 00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:06,800 being read from 3:5-6 and this is what it says, Jesus answered. 122 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:08,500 Very, truly. I tell you. 123 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,700 No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of 124 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:15,300 water. And the spirit flesh gives birth 125 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,600 to flesh. But the The spirit gives birth 126 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,800 to Spirit, you should not be surprised at my saying. 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,100 You must be born again. The wind blows wherever it, 128 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,500 pleases, you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes 129 00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:34,500 from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone. 130 00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:39,300 Born of the spirit, I'm going to read verse 8 again, the wind 131 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:44,200 blows wherever it, pleases you hear its sound, but you cannot 132 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,500 tell where it comes. From or where it's going. 133 00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:53,200 So it is with everyone born of the spirit. 134 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 So it is everyone. Born of the spirit. 135 00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,800 Jesus here is talking to Nicodemus and we go into the 136 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,900 couple of early passages in a few minutes, but I just want to 137 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,800 stay here for a few minutes because here this wind that 138 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Jesus is talking about in Greek is Numa and when we look at this 139 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,200 wind, this wind is something which, you know, we cannot 140 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,700 predict and what are the things that we love today in? 141 00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:28,800 Any 22 is and 2023 is predictions. 142 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:33,600 We, you know, we as a city had, just experienced some heavy 143 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,500 rains, a couple of weeks back. And if there's one thing that we 144 00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:43,400 relied on is on predictions predictions on which person 145 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400 which weatherman from Twitter was actually be accurate. 146 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,700 You know, we want predictions of the stock market. 147 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,800 We want predictions of, you know what? 148 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:55,600 The future is going to look like we want. 149 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Probably predictions of what's happening with this whole 150 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,000 sudden. Emergence of covid. 151 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000 That's happening with this train coming today. 152 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,300 The holy spirit is like wherever you are at wherever you're at 153 00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:14,200 whatever stage of life, you're at whatever position in life. 154 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,800 You're at, I'm willing to blow my rent. 155 00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:24,200 And the thing is, we can feel the wind, we can hear it. 156 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,800 But we can never know where it's coming from and where it's going 157 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,800 and that's one thing which the Holy Spirit brings Clarity. 158 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000 That's the one thing which Holy Spirit brings purpose for many 159 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000 of us, the things that we are prepared to do the things that 160 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,400 we want to do all seem, you know, well planned and laid out, 161 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,500 but many a times you're not evil to move in the direction because 162 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:52,200 many times it seems like we just orchestrated all this to fulfill 163 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,700 our plan and purposes. But when we actually are Align 164 00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:57,200 ourselves with God's plan and purpose is. 165 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600 There's, there's a little bit of direction change that happens 166 00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,700 and we don't get to see it when you're on that journal. 167 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,700 But a few years later we get to look back and say God thank you 168 00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:12,700 for taking me on that Journey because without that, I think I 169 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,300 would have been lost without that. 170 00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:17,600 I would have been crumbled and putting this verse into context, 171 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,200 Jesus talks to Nicodemus and he saying it's important for you to 172 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 realize that you need to be born again. 173 00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:28,500 So this New Year, I'll be willing to be born again. 174 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,400 A lot of us probably would have had the born-again experience, 175 00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:38,100 you know, a lot of us would have had, you know, the experience of 176 00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,000 taking water baptism but that's not something which I want to 177 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,900 weigh stress on right now because life happens. 178 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:48,600 And for a lot of us, that's just an experience. 179 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,100 And that probably could have been like a season, which is 180 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:56,200 long past to God today, God wants to refill and do a new 181 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,500 thing. So, John chapter 7, verses 1 to 182 00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,400 3, can we continue reading? It says, there was a man of the 183 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,700 Pharisees sect Nicodemus, a prominent leader among the Jews. 184 00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,600 Late one night. He was did Jesus Etc by. 185 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,800 We all know you're a teacher straight from God. 186 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,100 No one could do all the god pointing, God, revealing acts 187 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:20,200 you do if God weren't in on it. Jesus said, you're absolutely 188 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,600 right. Take it from me, unless a person 189 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000 is born from above, it's not possible to see what I am 190 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,200 pointing to that's to God's kingdom and putting things in 191 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,500 context. The first, you know, in as part 192 00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:39,900 of the whole thing, I just want us to have this as the, you 193 00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:44,600 know, the subheading is the fact that we do not jump to us. 194 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,700 Some options about the Holy Spirit. 195 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,500 We do not jump to assumptions about even our faith in about 196 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:55,000 Jesus, and it's interesting because here Nicodemus, who 197 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,300 probably was seen Jesus from afar who probably interacted 198 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,600 with a couple. And then later, as he's been 199 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,600 seeing, realizes that God is in him. 200 00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:08,800 He says, he clearly, we all know you're a teacher straight sent 201 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600 from God. So they know that, whatever he's 202 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600 talking teaching doing is all gods. 203 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:20,400 Sent God revealed, God told, but yet in their assumption, they 204 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,300 feel like he's just one among them. 205 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,800 So as he starts a conversation, he is setting the tone here to 206 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,700 say, you know what, God, you are one, just like us. 207 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,800 We have. We are also learned. 208 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,500 We are also people who know the scriptures. 209 00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:35,600 We are also, people are doing what is called as to do. 210 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:40,800 You probably know a little bit more, but Jesus, corrects him to 211 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,100 say that until unless a person is born, again, he says Born 212 00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,400 from above, you won't be able to see the things of above. 213 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,000 And so today let us not jump to conclusions and say holy spirit. 214 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,400 This is who you are and put him in a box. 215 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,400 The holy spirit, is this Myriad of colors? 216 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,400 We will never be able to know that. 217 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,100 This is how he is. We will see the manifestations, 218 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,900 the fruits. The end product will be able to 219 00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:14,100 see and say, oh, this happened because of the Holy Spirit, but 220 00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,800 we will never be able to see in. What if you look one, two, 221 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,300 three, and in the fourth step, the holy spirit is going to come 222 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:22,500 home. He is a personal surprises and 223 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:26,900 that's what catching the wind. As we do not set patterns here, 224 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 To see this is how the Holy Spirit has to come. 225 00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:33,700 We are just available here to say that this is what the Holy 226 00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:35,800 Spirit has to do in and through our lives. 227 00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,600 So as a Nicodemus came to Jesus I would ask as we all go to 228 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,500 Jesus as we all are asked in and pray today let us not go see 229 00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,600 God, I already know about the Holy Spirit now we're going to 230 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200 go from here. I'm going to be standing for 231 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,100 place of assumptions or knowing what you're going to be standing 232 00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:58,800 from a place of desperation. To see God I've had experiences 233 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,500 before but I want you, I still need you. 234 00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:07,100 I still want you to fill me from head to toe annoying me a fresh 235 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,700 so that I can see the things of above And I can do what you're 236 00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:13,600 calling me to do here on this Earth. 237 00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:20,600 As we read from John 3:5-6, we need to be born again. 238 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,000 And what Jesus wants us to do is born again. 239 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,000 Not of water, but of the spirit, And so, what does the spirit, do 240 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,900 you know the spirit today? This wind when it comes in, it, 241 00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,900 changes us. It changes us as individuals. 242 00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:44,100 It that trickles down into, you know, it just moves in heavily 243 00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,100 into the roles that we play as a father, as a husband, or, as a 244 00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:51,200 young adult, or as a grandfather, or as a video of, 245 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,100 whatever role you're playing, or if you're single, you're mad mad 246 00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:58,100 at, you're divorced, whatever role it will trickle down into 247 00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:02,300 that it will give you Fiction, God will heal those wounds and 248 00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:06,300 he will set us free. And then this knowing interest 249 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:09,300 of, you know, God I can't take the next step without you being 250 00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,600 in it and so we desire we thirst for him. 251 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,600 And so that entire process, which happens because of the 252 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,800 infilling of the holy spirit is more like a birthing that 253 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:26,000 happens. And so, today, God wants us To 254 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,300 be birthed in the spirit. He gives two things. 255 00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:33,800 He says flesh gives birth to flesh spirit gives birth to 256 00:15:33,808 --> 00:15:36,500 Spirit. And In the Flesh if you realize 257 00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:41,300 we are born physically the water that's denoted here, many of 258 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,900 theologians believe that it's the birthing that happens 259 00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:47,600 physically when your water breaks in your birth out of 260 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,000 that. But when we accept Jesus into 261 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,100 our hearts, we no longer Jesus was in fact talking to 262 00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:58,600 Nicodemus, he was telling him the way a Christian life would 263 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400 be after he ascends into heaven and from Nicodemus, it could 264 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,500 have been far beyond what he can think, because all he was used 265 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:10,800 to was what governed him. And so today, God wants us to 266 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,300 move us from that place. That's governing us. 267 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,300 You might think, you know what, if I listen to 10 minutes of 268 00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:19,200 worship music, I'm filled by the Spirit of God. 269 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,000 No that's not how probably you know if I'm going to church for 270 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,300 two hours a week it's no that's not or you know what? 271 00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:29,000 If I'm reading the verse of the day or watching the worst of the 272 00:16:29,008 --> 00:16:30,900 day video on you version that is it? 273 00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:36,000 No that's not. It comes to a place of Desiring 274 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000 of thirsting of lamenting and seeing God I'm desperate for 275 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,200 you. And so when this birthing 276 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,800 happens within you, that wind that you need that extra energy 277 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,400 that extra Threats that you need. 278 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,500 He would Breathe In that breath. That you've been struggling to 279 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:54,900 have because of anxiety. He would replace it with this. 280 00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:58,200 New mom, went into you that breath that causes you to go 281 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,100 into a shelf and, you know, just be clustered and think, you 282 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,599 know, this is, this is my lot. I just need to deal with it. 283 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,900 He will be the life into you and hope into you. 284 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,000 A lot of us today are lacking the wind, you know, and Charles 285 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,400 Spurgeon says is beautiful. He says, without the spirit of 286 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,200 God we can do nothing. We are a ships without wind. 287 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:24,200 We are useless. These are times when ships were 288 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:30,000 heavily dependent on the Wind to make the course of their Journey 289 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,700 quicker. And you know, with less using of 290 00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:37,000 less energy didn't have to roll all the way. 291 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,600 And a lot of us today are happy and content in US. 292 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,400 Rowing, and I was doing the things. 293 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,500 I'm, I'm all for that, but I think if we allow the wind of 294 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:53,400 God, to come into our lives, we will arise with the opened. 295 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,500 Our eyes would see. There's always a deep Revelation 296 00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,800 that comes with God, wants to reveal to us. 297 00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:02,500 And so, today will be a love that deep Revelation to come in. 298 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,600 So even as we start this year, you know, as we progress into 299 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,600 the next couple of weeks were going to go more deeper into 300 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,300 this topic of catch the wind. But today as I give you a 301 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,600 introduction to the whole thing, I want to leave you with two 302 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,600 things. The first thing that I want to 303 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,700 give you is when we catch the wind, we need to pursue him 304 00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:28,000 individually for our own cells. We need to pursue him 305 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,900 individually for our own selves. There's this common narrative 306 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:36,100 that constantly keeps coming and going as Christians, you know 307 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:40,400 what that when we are with everyone, you know, everything 308 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,800 is happening, right? You know, when your opinion 309 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,300 Spirit-filled Community, we are in a spiritual family. 310 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,600 All that is raised, we can be in the midst of others, being 311 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,000 spirit filled. And yet, we can be Spirit, not 312 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,300 filled, or Spirit 0. And today our narratives also 313 00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:03,100 driven by culture today, our spiritual lives is not this 314 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:07,400 common Narrative of people are shouting and you know, clapping 315 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,400 their hands loud and then, you know, speaking out in various 316 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,100 times is the manifestation of the spirit is that we do speak 317 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,200 out in tongues, we do do all that. 318 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,300 But that is not just the limitation of the spirit that we 319 00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:20,900 are talking about when he fills us. 320 00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:26,300 It's far more deeper It's us recognizing him in everything 321 00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:31,400 that we do, John 3:7 do not be surprised that I have told you 322 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,600 you must be born again, reborn from above spiritually, 323 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,000 transformed, renewed and Sanctified was seven as we read. 324 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000 It says here in the Amplified spiritually, transformed, 325 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,200 renewed and sanctified So today's Nicodemus, when he came 326 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,600 to Jesus he want to find out who he is all about. 327 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,600 But Jesus wanted to say, you know what the very thing that I 328 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,200 have as a spirit you too can have it and he in fact came to 329 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800 equate God to you know, they are same status as teachers. 330 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,400 Keep them in that but Jesus went to step up and said, hey, you 331 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,400 too can experience the Holy Spirit. 332 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,000 Would you allow of your eyes to be opened? 333 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Open up, will you be able to see who I really am? 334 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,400 Would you be able to see the god things? 335 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,300 And so today, are we willing to be spiritually? 336 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:26,800 Transformed? Are we willing to be renewed? 337 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,100 Are we willing to be Sanctified? You know, when we have to be 338 00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:36,500 born again, God does something in us. 339 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,600 A couple of things that he does very evidently our, he causes us 340 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,700 to have the conviction of sin. We know, you know, you were 341 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,500 Sinners, everything that I've done till now is all because of 342 00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:53,200 the Fall that happen, and you're having to understand that you're 343 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,500 in need of a savior, you probably have made so many 344 00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:59,300 choices or probably are currently struggling with 345 00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,500 certain choices probably quietly in your room. 346 00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,700 You still are holding on to that one habit, which you have. 347 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,200 It could be probably watching something on the screen. 348 00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,300 It could be probably quietly consuming something, when no one 349 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,400 else is mine, or it could be probably or indulging in 350 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,400 something, which Keeps which you feel? 351 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,200 Like if you let go, you are missing something, I would say, 352 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,900 would you allow Jesus to come in? 353 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,300 This is where his in feeling comes in. 354 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,300 This is where when he comes in, he sets us free when he comes 355 00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,000 in. He does a work in and through us 356 00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,600 and there are two things that Nicodemus hears from Jesus. 357 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,900 He says you know, you're born of the spirit he talks about a 358 00:21:38,908 --> 00:21:42,100 baptism that happens, the baptism of this wartime, baptism 359 00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,300 of the spirit and so many a times, You know, we are happy 360 00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:48,800 with the important thing. Yes, when you accept Jesus 361 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,800 Christ, as a testimony of faith and as a testimony, seeing to 362 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,100 the people that are around, as if we are all followers of 363 00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:59,000 Christ in obedience, we come, I want to take a stand as a 364 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000 follower of Jesus and so we commit to the Waters of baptism. 365 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,800 And so what is that? We tell people. 366 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,400 You know, we are not going to turn back to the world and 367 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,200 follow the world but I'm going to turn and we follow Jesus. 368 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,200 But as much as that's important, that's not everything. 369 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,000 I think there's an other beautiful element called the 370 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,800 Holy Spirit who becomes an essential part of her life, who 371 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,500 we need to desire far more than ever before. 372 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,900 We need to desire and want it more ever than before. 373 00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:31,400 Because without him, we cannot take the next step because 374 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,800 without him, we cannot do what he's called us to do. 375 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,100 Because without him, we will lack Direction. 376 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,400 Because without him, we will not have the power without him. 377 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,800 We won't have the strength and as See here. 378 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,600 What is spirit? Do he transforms us? 379 00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:51,000 What does he transform us? He patches us up. 380 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600 We are all Broken Vessels. You know, before we know Jesus 381 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,300 Christ. There was no hope he brings in 382 00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,500 Hope before knowing Jesus Christ. 383 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:04,300 We had the fruits of the world of, you know, of the Enemy 384 00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:08,800 being, you know, anger lies, deceit, you know, sexually Model 385 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,300 T. All those fruits were, the ones 386 00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:14,200 that are exhibiting or of us, he slowly is cutting every shoot. 387 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:18,400 And he's wanting us to renew. His pruning us, he's shaping us. 388 00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:26,000 You know, I'm just before I was just coming to preach for the 389 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,900 online. I was, I was just thinking to 390 00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,800 myself and I was having my bot and we have a bucket in a 391 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,200 bathroom and it's been probably like ever since you moved in. 392 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,500 It's been four and a half years since you've had that. 393 00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,700 And I think that there's a leak that's happening. 394 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,700 There's a crack in the bucket in and just leaking leaking each 395 00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,000 happening. And so every After everyone has 396 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,300 about the rule is that we empty the bucket fully so that, you 397 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:57,000 know, there's no water dripping because we constantly keep 398 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,600 hearing the dripping noises and I realized, you know, we 399 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,400 many-a-times our content living with the leak. 400 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:12,300 But when we have the Holy Spirit come and live inside of us, You 401 00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:17,000 don't have to be empty, I don't have to empty myself out so that 402 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,900 I don't show my leakages out, but if I allow him and he'll 403 00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,000 come and Patch me up, he will do a work in me. 404 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,600 And when he does that work in me, I can be filled and 405 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,700 overflowing with him. And today, God wants us to catch 406 00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,800 the wind so that we can live in the Overflow. 407 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,700 Not that we live content in certain level, but we live in 408 00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:40,900 the Overflow church. I think we are coming to A 409 00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:44,700 Pivotal stage where Willie God's kingdom is going to be seen 410 00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:48,600 through the church, it's going to be evident to the people of 411 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,800 the church. It's going to be evident through 412 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,000 the faith of the people of the church is going to be evident 413 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,100 through the work that the people of the church are doing because 414 00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:01,500 we all are spirit filled. At the end of the day, I want us 415 00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,500 all to come to a place to see. Lord, we need you more than ever 416 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,600 before. God's kingdom is only seen when 417 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,500 you're born again, the spirit birth, It's in US Vision Vision 418 00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:16,700 to see. And so what happens even if a 419 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:20,200 hurdle comes, you're able to say, you know what, this God 420 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,400 allowed for something bigger, the struggle that I'm going 421 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400 through is for something bigger this. 422 00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:28,200 This promise of a child, that God gave me. 423 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,400 I'm holding onto, he'll give it in his time. 424 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,900 And many of us today, are recipients of God's miracle and 425 00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:37,700 we forget it. We are like, you know what I'm 426 00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:40,300 content. I know people who've received 427 00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:44,000 God's miracle after an amazing encounter with him and now they 428 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,700 are in a place of, you know, complacency they're like, you 429 00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:47,900 know what? Yeah, God is there. 430 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,100 So what know what happened to the fire? 431 00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:51,500 What happened to the desperation? 432 00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:54,800 What happened to the longing when you wanted that miracle? 433 00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:59,400 You sought him with all your heart, what happens after you 434 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,600 receive it? You need to still push through 435 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,800 it because it's through that Miracle. 436 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,600 He'll enable you to be a witness. 437 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,400 You know, when you're talking about this Numa being born of 438 00:26:10,408 --> 00:26:13,400 the spirit here, the catching, the wind. 439 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,500 Also, there's a direct reference where Ezekiel talks about and 440 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:19,200 we're going to read a couple of verses from that, as you, 36 441 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,700 verses 24 to 30 and goes on to say for are take you out of the 442 00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,300 nation's, I will gather you from all the countries and bring you 443 00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:26,500 back. Back in your own land. 444 00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:30,300 I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean. 445 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,200 I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your 446 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:40,500 Idols, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in 447 00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:43,300 you. I will remove from Your Heart of 448 00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,900 Stone and give you a heart of Flesh. 449 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,800 I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees 450 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,500 and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land. 451 00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,300 I gave you an answer. Does you will be my people? 452 00:26:57,300 --> 00:27:01,500 And I will be your God. And so today, our understanding 453 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:05,300 is, you know, if I'm born, if I've taken Waters of baptism, 454 00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:07,800 I'm clean fully, that's one aspect. 455 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,900 But the more important thing is the spirit because the spirit 456 00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:16,200 does not do any outward. Work, it won't shape your 457 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,100 muscles. It won't suddenly give you a six 458 00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,500 pack, but what the spirit will do is it will cleanse your 459 00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:23,100 heart. It will cleanse your motives, it 460 00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,200 will cleanse that insecurity. It will cleanse. 461 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,000 That inadequacy it will cleanse that area of being unloved. 462 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:35,700 It's lens that area of you know you being you know different and 463 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:42,100 you being a person who's been carrying so much and it sets you 464 00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:45,200 free to realize that there's a savior about it sets you free to 465 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,300 a place where, you know, you have a bigger purpose and 466 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:51,100 Mission here on this Earth it gives you a clear understanding. 467 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,100 And lot of us today are lacking that birthing of a vision that 468 00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:59,200 God Promising as you can hear. In fact, we will read some 469 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,000 verses in to Ezekiel 37 where the same wind, the same word. 470 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,100 Pneuma is spoken or dry bones and so he says I will remove 471 00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:12,200 from you, Your Heart of Stone and give you a heart of Flesh. 472 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,500 And what is it? Heart of Flesh mean heart of 473 00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:18,900 flesh is, which is which moves, which which kind of fits in. 474 00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:21,600 It's not, you're not cold because of the experiences 475 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,600 you've gone through your not cold and, you know, hard 476 00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,600 thinking that Is no God, but you're coming to a place to 477 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,800 realize. There is a God. 478 00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:31,300 There is love. There is justice that hurt us to 479 00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:34,500 Prevail all this happens. Only when you are loved the 480 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:36,400 spirit to work in and through you. 481 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,100 So today my question for you is, as I mentioned, are we 482 00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:44,500 personally Desiring the Holy Spirit, you can be part of 483 00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:49,800 church come and go. And it's a it's a question which 484 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,800 we won't ask when we meet in person, but this is something 485 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,900 which God is probably asking us today as we start the year, you 486 00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:02,700 personally Desiring it. Because if he personally decided 487 00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:04,600 we need to say God come and fill me. 488 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,300 I want to catch the wind birth in me. 489 00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:12,000 The spirit I'm willing to endure the pain and willing to endure 490 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,200 that Journey lat because one thing I'm sure is that as a 491 00:29:16,208 --> 00:29:19,400 community we're going to desire it as a community we're going to 492 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,100 long for it as a community we're going to see it happen. 493 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,800 I believe as a church we are going to see signs wonders and 494 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,800 miracles happen. We are going to see people being 495 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,400 here. Healed people being restored. 496 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,600 People being fulfilled into the callings in the pot plants and 497 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,300 God has for them. We are wanting to see the 498 00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:40,100 supernatural work of God, come and happen in our lives. 499 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,100 And I believe God setting the tone starting of the year for 500 00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,700 us. We are ready to catch the wind 501 00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:49,100 as a community. Are you individuals ready to 502 00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:52,900 catch the wind? Why is it important to catch the 503 00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:54,200 wind? You see it. 504 00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:56,400 The beautiful thing about a community is United. 505 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,400 See someone a Spirit-filled and Becky not I won't have that same 506 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,300 Spirit of intercession that they have. 507 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600 I won't have the same Spirit of giving that they have. 508 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,900 I want to have the same Spirit of humility that they have. 509 00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:11,000 That's where we catch one another within the four walls of 510 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,200 a community. And there's a beautiful story of 511 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,500 Elijah actually catching the wind of Elijah, you know, and he 512 00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:21,800 asked Elijah, what is it? Need. 513 00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:26,100 He said I need double portion of what you have. 514 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,600 He said it's something hard that you're asking, but the minute 515 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,500 Elijah got taken the minute. Elijah got, you know, whisked 516 00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:40,300 away to Heaven. He took his cloak and he did the 517 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,900 same thing. And the manifestation of the 518 00:30:42,908 --> 00:30:45,600 holy spirit that was within him, was seen by the prophets were 519 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,700 far. And they said that the god of 520 00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:49,400 Elijah. The spirit that was within 521 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,500 Elijah is in Elijah. So today we are not here to 522 00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:59,100 copycat or, you know, mimic someone else's, no, but you're 523 00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:01,900 all going to operate in the uniqueness of who the spirit is, 524 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,700 and what he gives each of us individually, he will give us 525 00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:08,300 discernment. He will refrain us from saying 526 00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:10,800 certain things that he will get us. 527 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,600 Used to the understanding of time, his time, his Kairos time 528 00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:17,700 said, we were able to speak at the point in time. 529 00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:23,300 So today can we as a church come and see God. 530 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,500 We are here we are desperate for you. 531 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,900 We as individuals are seeking you for your Holy Spirit In Our 532 00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:34,800 Lives.

Where the wind leads? 537 00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:54,200 Where the Holy Spirit leads? Where this new movement leads? 538 00:31:55,500 --> 00:32:00,800 Today. What is it that the Holy Spirit 539 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,300 wants us to do? You need to wait on him? 540 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000 The more you wait on him. The more Direction. 541 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,100 He'll give you in Acts chapter 16, verse 6, to 8, Paul was 542 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,800 about his journey and in the busyness of it. 543 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,900 You know he had a plan out, he didn't he didn't just you know 544 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000 he didn't just sit somewhere, he always was you know intentional 545 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,000 and in that intentionality he was also sensitive. 546 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,200 And I believe as a community today, as we start this year, as 547 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,700 a church, we are going to ask God, God, to lead to a way where 548 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,800 if you say tell me not to go, I won't go. 549 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,400 If you tell me. Yes, I will be in. 550 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,900 Yes, so let's read acts. 16 was a six to eight Paul and his 551 00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:45,400 companions travel throughout the region of forgive him and 552 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,000 galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching. 553 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,800 The word in the province of Asia. 554 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,000 When they came to the border of Messiah, they try to turbot Nia, 555 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,500 but the spirit of Jesus would not allow them to do so. 556 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,100 So they passed by Mesilla and went down to troas. 557 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:13,300 Today, the Holy Spirit wants his church to be attentive to his 558 00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:18,800 promptings to is leading. As I said, it's an individual. 559 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,800 When we are tuned to the spirit, we will move in line with the 560 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,000 spirit Paul. Here was so tuned that when he 561 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,700 knew it wasn't his time to enter into this place of Monsieur. 562 00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,500 They moved past that they held back. 563 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,800 What is it that God's calling us to go in a particular direction 564 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,200 and you're not taking that step, you know, we're not taking that 565 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,600 step because you know, got I don't have the resources or I 566 00:33:49,608 --> 00:33:53,900 don't know what this is. I think you have to only lean 567 00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:56,600 onto the holy spirit for me and my wife. 568 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,800 God's been moving us in a direction which we've not 569 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,900 entered it in earlier. And we were relying on the Holy 570 00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:07,200 Spirit more than ever before because you're comfortable doing 571 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,300 what we're doing. But when we know that Gardens is 572 00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,199 the direction gods revealed, we don't have the necessary 573 00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:16,400 strength of a the capacity to do it. 574 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,300 But we know that this is the place where the holy spirit is 575 00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,300 doing is he's been nudging us. He's been telling you, this is 576 00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:24,600 what you're doing. And so we've learnt over the 577 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,600 years, you know, I would rather be obedient then try finding a 578 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,500 solution as to why I have to remain here. 579 00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:35,600 And so in our obedience he will reveal his Mysteries. 580 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,900 There's a beautiful story of Peter and Cornelius, Peter was 581 00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:44,500 lying down taking a nap at the same time Cornelius was in 582 00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,100 another place and he was praying. 583 00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:53,000 And it's a spirit who shifted the entire realm of a Christian 584 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,300 faith from just being centered around a community of Believers 585 00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:04,800 to an entire world, that needed the savior of one man's prayer 586 00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:10,800 and asking God. And the god of and Jesus 587 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,800 actually coming to Peter and a dream and revealing him as a 588 00:35:14,808 --> 00:35:19,400 leader to go and take that step. And we need took that he saw 589 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:25,300 that God broke even ways in which he operated within the 590 00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:28,500 Gentile Community. He preached and the spirit of 591 00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:31,100 God just came down into the entire house of Cornelius. 592 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,200 So today, are we willing to move in the direction in which the 593 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,200 spirit leads? Because catching the wind is one 594 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,500 thing, okay. You know what, I know something 595 00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:45,900 with the Holy Spirit, but doing what the Holy Spirit wants us to 596 00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:50,800 do is very important Earthly. Wisdom is doing what comes 597 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,700 naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the 598 00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:57,200 Holy Spirit compels us to do. This is what Charles Stanley 599 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,700 says and a lot of us have Earthly. 600 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:04,600 Wisdom, work experiences, our experiences with people are 601 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,900 interactions. Are, you know, the way we deal 602 00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,700 with people all that Kind of starts working in and through us 603 00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:13,800 and the we think we have wisdom. But, you know, we are all 604 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,800 longing for a Godly wisdom. It's only comes from the spirit 605 00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:19,300 today. You and I should be operating 606 00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,700 out of Godly wisdom. You and I should be opting out 607 00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:27,400 of place where the spirit is. Guiding us, we will look back 608 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,000 and we become a testimony saying, you know what? 609 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,600 We didn't realize, but it's a spirit who guided our 610 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,000 conversation. So today, we are going to go in 611 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,500 the Direction with speed. Needs today as a church. 612 00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:42,100 We are going to go in spirit in the direction of its Spirit 613 00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:45,600 leads, if the Holy Spirit leads us towards evangelism. 614 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,800 In a particular way, we are going to be obedient towards 615 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,000 that. If a if the Holy Spirit leads us 616 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,100 in a way of parenting in this particular, we are going to lead 617 00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:57,500 with that if the Holy Spirit leads us as a couple in this 618 00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:00,600 particular way in which um marriage has to be given a lead 619 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,800 with that. What is it that the holy spirit 620 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,500 is actually asking you to do for yourself for the role that you 621 00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:12,000 play and for the community that you're part of? 622 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,700 You know this is not your typical Instagram influence over 623 00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:19,600 a person says you know three things that you as parents to do 624 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,700 for 2023. No. 625 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,700 It goes far beyond you are going to be in your knees saying, God, 626 00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:28,100 what is the will and your purpose for my child. 627 00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:30,900 Lord help me lot not to break their Spirit. 628 00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,500 Whether help also, they help me at the same time not to cloud 629 00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:38,200 and have my plan and purpose, but let me come and give your 630 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,200 plan and purpose to your child and children. 631 00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:44,500 Titus Chapter 3 Verse 3 to 7, goes on to see this. 632 00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:49,300 It says, at one time we to a foolish disobedient deceived and 633 00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,900 enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. 634 00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:56,200 We lived in Malice and envy being hated and hating on one 635 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,400 another. But when the kindness and love 636 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,500 of God, our savior appeared, he saved us. 637 00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,300 Not because of our righteous things we have done, but because 638 00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:07,400 of his Mercy he saved us through the washing of rebirth and 639 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,900 Renewal by the Holy Spirit whom he poured out. 640 00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,200 So generously on us through Jesus Christ, Our Savior so that 641 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,100 having been justified by his grace we might become as having 642 00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:24,500 the hope of eternal life. So today we all need to go 643 00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:28,900 through this renewal process. We all need to catch the Holy 644 00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,400 Spirit and say, God, I'm here, ready to wait to deceive you. 645 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,200 It's an act, it's an act of seeing God. 646 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,300 I am ready and waiting here. My prayer is that we would allow 647 00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:43,700 him to actually come down into a homes. 648 00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:47,000 This new Merwin would come down that our homes would carry so 649 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,600 that it will alter the atmosphere of our homes. 650 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,900 Paul's increasing Titus. You know what you just don't do 651 00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:56,500 Top rate seeing that you've accepted Jesus, you start doing 652 00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:58,400 the good works. That he's also asked you to do 653 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,000 through the help of the holy spirit. 654 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,600 It's he who moves you to do certain things. 655 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,800 It's he causes you to go out of your comfort zone and meet with 656 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,800 someone else. It's he who causes you to see 657 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,100 the pain that, you know, that's evident in your life. 658 00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,700 You're also able to see the pain and someone else's wife and be 659 00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:18,000 an encouragement. That's what the church is all 660 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,900 about. That's what the choices are. 661 00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:21,900 It's us. Moving from where we are. 662 00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:24,500 Are at to where God's calling us to be hit. 663 00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:33,800 Ezekiel chapter 37 verses 12 to 14 and you know as as I 664 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,500 mentioned earlier Ezekiel is standing there and the Holy 665 00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:42,400 Spirit, brings life into dry bones and it says you're 666 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,300 beautiful and I'm Zone.

Would we receive him today? 758 00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:12,800 Would be receiving today. I came across this quote by John 759 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,100 Stewart, and this is what it says, what we need is not more 760 00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:19,200 learning, not my liquids, not more persuasion, not more 761 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,000 organization, but more from the Holy Spirit. 762 00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:25,800 We need more from the Holy Spirit. 763 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,400 What we need as a church is more from the Holy Spirit. 764 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,100 What I need more for my life is more of the Holy Spirit and so 765 00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:37,400 church today as we as you come to a close, are you willing to 766 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,800 catch the wind individually for yourselves? 767 00:45:40,700 --> 00:45:43,000 And second, are you willing to move in the direction? 768 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,200 These two things are, one of the things which you have to be done 769 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,200 intentionally. You intentionally allow the Holy 770 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,900 Spirit to comment and intentionally move in the 771 00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:56,000 direction. Direction that he causes you to 772 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,200 move called you to move. Let's not live in a world of 773 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,700 assumptions.

Many people caught the wind the 776 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,800 writers of the scripture that we read caught the wind and that's 777 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,900 why we actually have a word today that's penetrable into a 778 00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:28,800 spirit man across the ages. We are not living in a time and 779 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,100 age where these words avoid know they are truth. 780 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,100 In fact, it says his words will remain forever as time, passes 781 00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,300 Heaven, and Earth will pass away, but his words will remain. 782 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,500 So church I would ask you today.
