00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,200
Hi, and welcome to the, we 
assign some podcast. 

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,500
We are local church based here 
in Chennai, India, we are so 

3
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:17,600
glad you are with us and hope 
that this will encourage 

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,500
Inspire, and instill, fresh bait
in you, as we under seasoned of 

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:26,000
Pentecost, we invite you into a 
time of looking at the Holy 

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,300
Spirit through fresh eyes. 
We often look for You threw a 

7
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,700
massive life-altering moment, 
but most often breakthrough 

8
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,800
comes to the ongoing work of the
holy spirit in our everyday 

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,500
lives. 
How committed are we to Opening 

10
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:46,500
Our Lives to the holy spirit so 
that he can make us more like 

11
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,600
Jesus will you invite him in and
give him room? 

12
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:55,300
I shared with me joy to bring 
God's word to you today, we have

13
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:58,500
three weeks in the lead-up to 
Pentecost Sunday and we're going

14
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,300
to be looking at Different. 
Descriptors used to describe the

15
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,099
holy spirit in the word of God 
over the next three weeks. 

16
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,900
As you just saw this video, we 
saw the effects of wind the 

17
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:13,300
powerful effects of wind 
continued effects of wind. 

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,500
We don't just see the effect of 
wind in the moment. 

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
It's a lifelong continual 
process and when we look at the 

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,300
Holy Spirit, we see him being 
described as a wind, we see him 

21
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,100
being described as fire. 
We see him being described as 

22
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,200
water across the word of God, 
and they might be, it was just 

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,100
might seem you know, 
Coincidently do that. 

24
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,600
They use these natural elements 
in the word of God to describe 

25
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,300
the Holy Spirit, but I don't 
believe it's coincidence. 

26
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:43,000
I believe that it's very 
remarkable because it is so it's

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,500
so similar to the way the holy 
spirit is he. 

28
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,800
So transformative, he's so 
powerful. 

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,500
He's so sustained in his work in
our life. 

30
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,300
It's not a one-off momentous 
thing but it's something that he

31
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,200
does in our lives throughout our
lives. 

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,300
And so I believe that just like 
these three elements of fire 

33
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:00,400
wind. 
And Doc's. 

34
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,100
Don't leave things. 
The same way once it is touched 

35
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,900
by one of these elements things 
change forever in the same way 

36
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:09,600
those of us who have experienced
the Holy Spirit and life is 

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600
never the same. 
I'm sure you can attest to that.

38
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,900
So today we're going to be 
looking at the Holy Spirit as a 

39
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:18,400
wind and a title. 
My sermon Holy Spirit break 

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,600
down, you're going to be looking
at how similar to a when the 

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Holy Spirit touches us and and 
doesn't leave things as it were 

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800
was before we're looking at Acts
chapter 2, verses 1 to 2 just to

43
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,200
Understand this in its context. 
When the day of Pentecost had 

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,700
come, they were all together in 
one place and suddenly, a sound 

45
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:40,400
came from heaven, like a rushing
wind, and it filled the whole 

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,400
house, where they were sitting 
sound came, it was like a 

47
00:02:43,408 --> 00:02:46,700
rushing violent wind. 
That was the coming of the Holy 

48
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,700
Spirit on the day of Pentecost, 
and we know what happened after 

49
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,800
that, the wind that came that 
day changed. 

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,300
The lives, forever changed the 
lives of those disciples who 

51
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,900
were in that room. 
And we believe over the next 

52
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,700
three weeks is our At as the 
teachers who be teaching this, 

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,700
the city's art is a hair is that
the Holy Spirit Will begin to a 

54
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,200
new work. 
In each of our lives, our theme 

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,900
for the month of May has been 
breakthrough. 

56
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,900
And many times we have 
misunderstood that breakthrough 

57
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,900
is something huge and visible 
and and you know like just like 

58
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:23,300
you know, comes in with a bank. 
But the truth is breakthrough is

59
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,400
often times. 
Just a continued weathering 

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,300
close as a process where God is 
doing Something is doing a, an 

61
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:33,900
act of renewal in our lives, 
which is continued, which is 

62
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,600
sustained, which is for the Long
Haul. 

63
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:39,500
And it is in realizing that it's
recognizing that, that we 

64
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:44,100
experience our breakthrough. 
And we believe that over this 

65
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,000
month over the next three weeks,
we are believing for such an 

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,400
experience in each of Our Lives.
We are believing that God is 

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,600
going to do great things. 
He's going to bring about 

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,900
breakthroughs in different ways 
but that we would be alert to 

69
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:59,800
it. 
We will be so sensitive to the 

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,200
Lee Spirits move. 
Even as I said, the title 

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,400
today's sermon, the spirit 
breakdown and to understand that

72
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,000
more I just want us to look at 
this picture. 

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
This is a picture of the Grand 
Canyon and this is situated in 

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200
the United States. 
It's found in the state of 

75
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:20,700
Arizona and it is breathtaking, 
this place, something about it, 

76
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,500
it's added is Barren. 
And yet, there is so much Beauty

77
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:28,900
all around simply because those 
rock formations were were 

78
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:33,200
achieved because Of a continual 
process of which was initiated 

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,600
by the wind the Colorado, River 
Runs right below the Ravine. 

80
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,000
And it's carved a beautiful 
finish in between this Canyon 

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800
but right on top where you stand
all around. 

82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200
If you noticed a such beautiful 
formations. 

83
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,600
The Red Rock has been shaped has
been carved. 

84
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,700
Has been, you know, just exposed
in the most beautiful ways all 

85
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:55,600
because of the Winds and that 
area. 

86
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,300
And I'd like us to look at our 
lives. 

87
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:01,200
Maybe you've been walking 
through An exceptionally Bad in 

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400
season, maybe even walking 
through a hard season. 

89
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:05,900
Maybe it's even been a good 
season, but they have been its 

90
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:07,900
highs and lows like for everyone
else. 

91
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:13,800
What is we allow the Holy Spirit
to move like that wind and the 

92
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Grand Canyon be allowed him to 
use situations and life and 

93
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,000
people to whether us to shape us
to bring Beauty out of all that 

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,600
baroness. 
That's what the Holy Spirit 

95
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800
does. 
Many times, we're waiting for 

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,700
that one, big break to and we 
forget to look that in the 

97
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,300
everyday. 
There are continuous moments 

98
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,200
where the Holy Spirit stepping 
and he's intervening his nudging

99
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,600
as he's helping us, he's 
teaching us Is someone was for 

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,800
helps us understand the action 
of the wind. 

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,900
It says, the wicked are not, so 
they're like the shaft that the 

102
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:50,400
wind drives away. 
If you watched another Indian 

103
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,200
context women who are, you know,
sieving their rice, or their 

104
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,200
wheat when they're lifting it, 
they actually hit it on a tray 

105
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400
and when they do that because of
the wind, that's moving around 

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,600
all around them, the rice, 
settles the weed settles on the 

107
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,300
tree for all of the husk and the
the shaft. 

108
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:13,300
Is driven away many times. 
The Holy Spirit does that in our

109
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:14,300
lives. 
And that's what we're going to 

110
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,000
be looking at closer as we 
understand how the Holy Spirit 

111
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,900
breaks down. 
The holy spirit is always at 

112
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:24,200
work. 
Jesus said I'm at work just 

113
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600
because I see my father at work 
and we are always at work and so

114
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,100
it goes to say the holy spirit 
is no different. 

115
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:35,400
He is on the father's business. 
He is on track in terms of 

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,600
accomplishing. 
What Jesus wants to do in each 

117
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,900
one of us. 
We're going to be looking at two

118
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,800
passages of scripture, just to 
understand how the Holy Spirit 

119
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,300
Works in us, like a wind. 
And as we look at it, I want to 

120
00:06:47,308 --> 00:06:51,500
ask you that, you would not take
my word for it, that you would 

121
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:53,800
spend time. 
After this meditating on the 

122
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,300
same two scriptures and asking 
God to show you things in your 

123
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:01,300
life, we're going to be first 
looking at 2 Corinthians chapter

124
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,500
10 verses 3 to 5. 
Can we read that together? 

125
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:08,300
It says for though, we walk in 
the flesh is mortal. 

126
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Men, we are not carrying on a 
spiritual warfare according to 

127
00:07:11,608 --> 00:07:15,300
the Flesh and using the weapons 
of, man, the weapons of our 

128
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:18,200
Warfare are not physical 
weapons, of Flesh and Blood. 

129
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,600
Our weapons are divinely 
powerful for the destruction of 

130
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,400
fortresses. 
We are destroying sophisticated 

131
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,900
arguments and every exalted. 
In proud thing that sets itself 

132
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:32,700
up against the true knowledge of
God, and we are taking every 

133
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:37,000
thought and purpose captive to 
The Obedience of Christ. 

134
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000
When you look at this this is 
how I want to condense the whole

135
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,600
thing. 
The Holy Spirit breaks down the 

136
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,800
old because you probably said 
holy spirit break down, that 

137
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,200
sounds so destructive it sounds 
so contrary to what I know of 

138
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,200
the Holy Spirit true but the 
holy spirit is powerful and he 

139
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400
is avidly involved in 
destroying, destroying and 

140
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,400
pulling down things that are 
ungodly things that are not 

141
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,300
meant to be analyzed. 
So remember this, the Holy 

142
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:08,500
Spirit? 
Breaks down the old. 

143
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,000
What is this old stuff that he 
wants to break down? 

144
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:12,900
When you look at the passage, 
you see that? 

145
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,900
We are all Walking In the Flesh.
We Are All Flesh. 

146
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,600
We are human were as mortal as 
Motley gets, just get one viral 

147
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,300
few and you know, just how human
you are. 

148
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:25,800
We walk in the flesh, but we 
don't War as in the flesh. 

149
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,100
When you look at how the world 
operates, when you look at how 

150
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,500
Cutthroat things are and the 
real world, how people get ahead

151
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:36,200
of others, or people cut 
people's cut someone else down 

152
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:40,100
on social media, how people 
treat each other in person. 

153
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,800
We realize that those of us who 
have Jesus, those of us who know

154
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,800
Jesus and those of us who are 
living spirit-led cannot operate

155
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,300
like, then there has to be a 
distinction and so Says the 

156
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:56,100
world operates a certain way, 
but those of you who are filled 

157
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,100
with Spirit, have have a 
different kind of power at your 

158
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,000
disposal. 
He says, our weapons are 

159
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,900
divinely powerful for the 
destruction for SLI of 

160
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:07,200
fortresses. 
What does the Holy Spirit want 

161
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,900
to break you want? 
Start wants to break down 

162
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,100
fortresses in another 
translation and explains it 

163
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,100
better. 
It says strongholds, the enemy 

164
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:18,400
has built strong bonds in a life
based on certain photos that we 

165
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,700
have given to him. 
They've been to a times in my 

166
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:25,000
life when I gave an open. 
So for him through fear and in 

167
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,800
he came, fear intimidation 
Panic, disturbance disorder. 

168
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,500
Why? 
We she comes in like a flood. 

169
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,700
When we give him a little woman 
who doesn't just stop there. 

170
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,200
He builds a stronghold around 
that. 

171
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,700
And in that stronghold, he 
operates from that. 

172
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,800
She runs our life from within 
that strong bold that he is 

173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,900
built. 
And the Holy Spirit, is the one 

174
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:51,700
who comes in alerts us to that 
stronghold and pulls it down and

175
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:54,400
a microphone. 
This is a seats of power for the

176
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
enemies where he operates from 
within us. 

177
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,400
And the truth, is that once we 
accept Jesus, and once we give 

178
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,400
room to the Holy Spirit, he 
comes to remove him from that 

179
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,700
Throne. 
We have built some that 

180
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:09,300
stronghold because when you read
the Psalms again and again it 

181
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:12,200
says you are my refuge. 
You are my strong worry. 

182
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Oh my strong tower. 
You are my Fortress who are we 

183
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,300
addressing were talking about 
Jesus. 

184
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,100
So often in our lives the 
stronghold has that has been 

185
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:24,400
built has been built by the Me 
and for the enemy, but the Holy 

186
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Spirit begs to differ. 
He says, I am your weapon. 

187
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:33,600
I pull down that Fortress. 
Some of us have given open doors

188
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,300
by bitterness anger 
unforgiveness Envy. 

189
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,500
Apathy, so many open doors. 
Where the enemy has come in and 

190
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,800
set up tent. 
He has built a throne and it's 

191
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,100
time to Dethrone the enemy. 
It's time to get him to vacate 

192
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:55,100
that stronghold, so that our 
soul stronghold is God himself. 

193
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,200
That's what the Holy Spirit. 
Does he breaks down strongholds 

194
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,100
that have been created. 
He also pulls down find sounding

195
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,400
arguments. 
That's what it says. 

196
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,800
He says every sophisticated 
argument is brought down. 

197
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,300
We have a lot of new age 
philosophies. 

198
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,500
We have a lot of sophisticated 
sounding philosophy is now they 

199
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,800
sound just about right, but 
they're not the tube, they sound

200
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,000
good, but they're not in keeping
with the word of God are not in 

201
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,900
keeping with what God wants for 
us. 

202
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:30,900
A lot of times we also have 
opinions, we have opinions about

203
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,600
everything. 
You talk to the youngest little 

204
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,800
child to have an opinion about 
what they want to eat. 

205
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,700
They have an opinion about what 
they like watching on YouTube. 

206
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:43,200
Everyone has opinions and a lot 
of times as we grow in our walk 

207
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,100
with God, the Holy Spirit reveal
certain opinions which are 

208
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,700
absolutely ungodly. 
He will show to you how you win 

209
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800
having certain things that have 
been set up in your mind, which 

210
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400
are so contrary to the word of 
God, maybe someone drove a 

211
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,000
culture around you. 
When you were growing up, which 

212
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,700
taught you, something about God,
which is not really about God, 

213
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,400
and he saying, hey, that's not 
of God. 

214
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,600
The beautiful thing about the 
Holy Spirit is that when he 

215
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,200
breaks down, he pulls down these
things which are absolutely. 

216
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,700
Contrary to the word of God, to 
the knowledge of God into the 

217
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:21,400
character of God, it's time that
we gave him room. 

218
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:23,600
It's it ends. 
The verse ends in a beautiful 

219
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,600
note. 
It says and we are taking 

220
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,700
captive every thought and 
purpose to The Obedience of 

221
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:33,700
Christ. 
The only condition here that the

222
00:12:33,708 --> 00:12:36,000
holy spirit gives us as them. 
We need to come too. 

223
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,400
Leaves of inviting him in and 
taking every thought captive, 

224
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,800
what does that mean? 
We need a thought arises about 

225
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,400
taking Revenge because we want 
to wage war with the person 

226
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,800
who's Waging War with us. 
He says be still and know that I

227
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,800
am God. 
I am your defense, I fight for 

228
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,400
you. 
Maybe there's a time when you 

229
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,200
have thought that you need to do
certain things to achieve 

230
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,700
certain Targets in your own way.
But the holy spirit will say, 

231
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:03,400
wait, I have better plans for 
you. 

232
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,800
I want to prosper you I will 
need is a beautiful, because 

233
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,400
when we begin taking every 
thought, captive, we revisit the

234
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,300
things, we thought we knew we 
assume someone is the enemy. 

235
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:19,100
When the holy spirit says, wait,
they're not, there's an enemy 

236
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,600
behind that. 
Don't take it out on this 

237
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,300
person, may be in your marriage.
You've been looking at your 

238
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,000
spouse in the aps, the enemy and
he's saying, stop take the 

239
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,500
thought captive. 
I United you with that person 

240
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,100
for a purpose, they are not the 
enemy. 

241
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,300
There is a common enemy, look at
him. 

242
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Maybe you've been looking at 
your children and thinking 

243
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,800
there's no hope. 
He says take that thought 

244
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,800
captive instead declare the word
of God over them. 

245
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:48,200
Speak Life into them. 
The holy spirit is avidly, 

246
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,700
breaking down things, even as I 
speak right now, I believe that 

247
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:56,700
he's revealing things to you 
opinions, arguments, exalted, 

248
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,900
and proud prideful things in 
your life, which he says, I 

249
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,300
don't want those there because 
they're taking up precious, 

250
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:05,500
Throne space, they taking up 
Chris Is wrong. 

251
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,200
That room has to be filled by 
only one other, the Holy Spirit 

252
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:14,500
breaks down sinful and God 
resistant areas in our life. 

253
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,800
All of us have it. 
We think that all of us in a man

254
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,200
has been, you know, surrender to
God. 

255
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,900
But he'll often times. 
Remind remind assume this part 

256
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,500
of your work life, you haven't 
surrendered it to me because you

257
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:28,400
think you can do better this 
part of your parenting. 

258
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:32,100
You think you've sorted it out, 
but I have better plans for you.

259
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,200
This part of that relationship. 
You Think you've got it down pat

260
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:38,000
but I want to change some things
in it. 

261
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,400
That's God for you, that's the 
holy spirit for you. 

262
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,100
And the beautiful thing is that 
in his breaking down of things 

263
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,800
as hard as it sounds as scary as
it sounds. 

264
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,300
Because you when we think about 
breaking down, we just imagine a

265
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:51,800
hammer. 
We imagine just smashing 

266
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,700
something, and that's so 
destructive. 

267
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:56,800
But the Holy Spirit when he 
breaks down, he's actually 

268
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,500
bringing so much of Beauty from 
all of that baroness. 

269
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:04,300
He's bringing so much of 
purpose, out of that process, 

270
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,400
nothing. 
Wasted when the Holy Spirit is 

271
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,400
at work in US. 
But there's also this question 

272
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,900
that we must ask ourselves. 
If the holy spirit is breaking 

273
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:15,600
down something, shouldn't he 
also be building up? 

274
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Stuff? 
Is he only about destruction? 

275
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600
It's like I said, it's not 
destructive when the Holy Spirit

276
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,500
breaks down the ungodly things 
in our life and it breaks down 

277
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:27,200
strongholds. 
He's actually making room for 

278
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,600
fresh. 
Life is actually making room for

279
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,000
more of God in our lives. 
And so I believe the second part

280
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,300
of this is as much as the Holy 
Spirit breaks down the old. 

281
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,300
Old, he's breaking in the new. 
So those of you have bought a 

282
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,300
shoe which has been one size, 
too small. 

283
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:47,800
You know, what, it's like to 
break in a new shoe, you know, 

284
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,900
that feeling where your feet 
feel like they want to die 

285
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:52,900
because of lack of oxygen. 
You feel like the blood from 

286
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:56,000
your toes or your healer is 
going to flood the shoe because 

287
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,500
it's so painful. 
Breaking in new shoes, is no 

288
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:03,300
joke, but it takes time. 
It happens over time. 

289
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,300
If you're a car Enthusiast, you 
probably, you know, this that 

290
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,300
you need to break in a car over 
a period. 

291
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,800
For, you know, you're not 
supposed to go at very high 

292
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,100
speed. 
You're not supposed to do very 

293
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:15,000
long drives for the first year 
until you reach, you know, a 

294
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
threshold of a certain amount of
KM breaking into something is 

295
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,100
basically easy into something 
and the Holy Spirit is so 

296
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,900
beautiful that in stepping into 
our lives. 

297
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:32,100
When we invite him, she's so 
willing to lead us on this 

298
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:34,000
journey but it's a step-by-step 
thing. 

299
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,500
A lot of us. 
The minute we I remember when I 

300
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:39,000
accepted Jesus, when I was in 
eighth grade I thought my life 

301
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200
was going to be radically 
different overnight. 

302
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,400
So I attended that that, you 
know, assembly at school. 

303
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,200
I came home, I was on a high and
within a few hours, everything 

304
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400
went back to normal. 
It was just like a regular day, 

305
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,800
my brother and I probably had an
argument or two. 

306
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,700
I was probably disobeying my 
parents at that point and it, 

307
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:01,000
everything seemed normal. 
And as we get older, as we have 

308
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,599
these encounters with Jesus, the
only way for lasting 

309
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,200
transformation only way for 
sustained. 

310
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,400
Transformation. 
Our Lives is the holy spirit 

311
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,900
without him. 
It will be a one-off thing. 

312
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:16,900
It'll be a momentous moment but 
they won't be sustained. 

313
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,599
Change. 
The beautiful thing is that the 

314
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:24,099
Holy Spirit breaks us into the 
new way of life into the Jesus 

315
00:17:24,099 --> 00:17:28,099
way of life. 
He does it day by day because 

316
00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:30,100
let's face it. 
The new way is not easy. 

317
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,300
I was recently listening to a 
story of one of our friends was 

318
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,800
telling us about a guy who came 
and stayed with him. 

319
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,500
He came high on drugs. 
Eggs. 

320
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,700
He was in such a bad place 
within a month. 

321
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,400
He got to know. 
Jesus, personally, got to 

322
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,000
understand who this Jesus was 
and just one night, he made a 

323
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,900
simple prayer accepted Jesus 
into his heart overnight. 

324
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,500
His life changed, his desire for
drugs left him, he was able to 

325
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:59,900
stay clean. 
He was able to serve others with

326
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:01,500
love. 
He said he was filled with the 

327
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,700
love that he never had before. 
That's God for you. 

328
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:08,500
That's the holy spirit in you, 
he over the next six months, 

329
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,500
gradually change began to 
happen. 

330
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:14,800
He who was unemployable within a
few months was able to get a 

331
00:18:14,808 --> 00:18:17,400
job. 
And today he's getting ready to 

332
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,400
get married that kind of 
sustained. 

333
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,700
Change, only happens when the 
Holy Spirit has room to work. 

334
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Because as much as he's breaking
down the old, he breaks in the 

335
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,700
new, he brings in that new way 
of life. 

336
00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:34,600
Jesus himself said, you know, 
that many walk On the broad path

337
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,300
but the broad path leads to 
destruction. 

338
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:40,900
He says few find the narrow way.
The narrow way is not easy. 

339
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:45,400
The new life is one of internal 
change in order. 

340
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600
That one's entire life is 
changed. 

341
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,200
So often we think that when 
someone is born again, that 

342
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,600
their behavior should change, 
but even before Behavior changes

343
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,600
Behavior change is important, 
but it's an internal change 

344
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,200
something shifts inside. 
The need to please the flesh 

345
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,000
drops and the desire to please. 
The spirit takes greater 

346
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,200
precedence. 
We're going to be looking at a 

347
00:19:09,208 --> 00:19:12,100
very familiar passage to 
understand what this new life 

348
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:15,200
looks like is a passage from The
Book of Ezekiel. 

349
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,500
And we know this passage where 
the spirit of God takes Ezekiel 

350
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:21,200
to this place. 
And says, look at all these Dry 

351
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,000
Bones is the house of Israel 
prophecy to these bones that 

352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,300
they would come back to life. 
And that's what we're going to 

353
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:32,200
be reading is equal to 37 versus
5. 26 thus says the Lord got to 

354
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,900
these bones behold. 
I will make breath enter you so 

355
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,800
that you may come to life, I 
will put sinews on. 

356
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,100
You make flesh grow back on your
cover. 

357
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:44,100
You with skin and I will put 
breath in you, so that you may 

358
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,000
come alive. 
And you will know that I am the 

359
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Lord verse 14, I will put my 
spirit in. 

360
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,500
You, you will come to life and I
will place you in your own land,

361
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,400
then you will know that I the 
Lord have spoken and fulfilled 

362
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,400
it. 
Says the Lord very interesting 

363
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,600
he says I will bring breath into
you to make you laugh. 

364
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,100
So he puts the bones back 
together, he puts the muscles 

365
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,800
on, he grows the flesh, he puts 
the skin on them and then he 

366
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200
says I will put breath in you 
and he continues by saying I 

367
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,900
will put my spirit in you. 
The Holy Spirit comes into us to

368
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:23,800
give us that new life. 
It's incredible. 

369
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,100
How so many of us can sometimes 
try to experience and strive to 

370
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,000
experience this new life in 
Jesus, without the Holy Spirit. 

371
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,500
But the sad truth is, it's not 
possible. 

372
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:38,000
It is not possible because our 
own efforts even the best of it,

373
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:41,500
even the greatest willpower, you
know, when that the greatest 

374
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,200
amount of striving we can do to,
you know, do the right thing 

375
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:48,600
will not be sufficient to have 
sustained change to have 

376
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,300
long-term transformation. 
It only happens when the Holy 

377
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:53,600
Spirit. 
Is involved. 

378
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:56,400
I love what Jesus says John 6 
verse 63. 

379
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,300
He says the holy spirit is the 
one who gives life that which is

380
00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:04,700
of the natural realm is of no. 
Help the words. 

381
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:06,800
I speak to you are spirit and 
life. 

382
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,300
Jesus himself is giving us the 
foundation for this new life in 

383
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:13,300
him. 
He saying it's the Holy Spirit, 

384
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,100
he will come, he will give you 
life. 

385
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:18,400
So believing in. 
Jesus is the first step is 

386
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,800
believing that our access to God
is through Jesus. 

387
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,600
And then It is enabling access 
to the Holy Spirit to come into 

388
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,200
our lives. 
And do with us as he sees fit. 

389
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,300
It's a powerful Paradigm. 
When we start to shift that 

390
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:36,400
thinking and saying so I've been
trying to do this on my own, no 

391
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,600
wonder I've been feeling I I try
to not lose my temper with the 

392
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,700
children but within two hours of
them being on a on the summer 

393
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:44,300
break. 
I just given to you know, saying

394
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:47,500
something foolish, pushing them 
away from me. 

395
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:52,500
What if I employed the Holy 
Spirit into every aspect of my 

396
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,700
life? 
Be dealing with the house, help 

397
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,700
be dealing with people at work, 
be dealing with my church 

398
00:21:57,700 --> 00:21:59,800
friends. 
We'll be dealing with anyone if 

399
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,600
I allow the Holy Spirit to 
intervene if I allow the Holy 

400
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,700
Spirit to actually breathe life 
into every space, what would my 

401
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:12,800
life look like maybe then? 
John 10:10 would actually begin 

402
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,300
to start happening because Jesus
said I have come to give you 

403
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,600
life in abundance many times. 
We forget that that's not just 

404
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,800
eternal life, not just life 
after death, it's life before 

405
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,100
death Because let's face it. 
If you're going to live to be 

406
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:30,300
80, I don't want to be waiting 
to die and see Jesus. 

407
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:34,400
But I also want to be living in 
such a way that I please Jesus, 

408
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,900
right now I'm until 80. 
I can't have a useless fruitless

409
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:40,800
life. 
I need to have a fruitful 

410
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:44,900
Abundant Life until then and the
Beautiful Thing is of holy 

411
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,300
spirit. 
Makes that happen. 

412
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,300
The holy spirit is the one who 
brings an abundant life here on 

413
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:55,600
Earth. 
Wendy Walk With Jesus. 

414
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Let's not kid ourselves. 
It's not like all days are high 

415
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,300
days. 
Some days are regular days. 

416
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,700
Some days are less than regular.
We have terrible setbacks, we 

417
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,000
have hard relationship decisions
to make. 

418
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,300
We have difficult corporate 
decisions to make things are 

419
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:11,500
hard. 
Finances are hard, health issues

420
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:15,200
happen. 
Let's face it were human but the

421
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,500
beautiful thing is that as much 
as our days can be so mundane 

422
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,400
some days part. 
When we have the Holy Spirit in 

423
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,900
us, a new creation, life is 
possible that right where we are

424
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:32,700
at in the hard moments, we still
have a new, we have a new 

425
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,100
perspective, we have a new way 
of looking at things. 

426
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Just outside our church. 
Just when I was coming in to 

427
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,600
preach this message, I saw the 
small side with just was so 

428
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,300
profound. 
There is a small dust bin where,

429
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:53,200
you know, people have thrown a 
couple of things and it just 

430
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,100
looks really messy. 
It's got a whole bunch of old 

431
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:00,000
stuff thrown in it but there's a
bit of soil and out of that dust

432
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,700
bin has bloomed a beautiful 
button, Rose bunch. 

433
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:08,400
And the color of the Rose is 
just Unbelievable. 

434
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:14,200
It's a magenta is beautiful. 
And so in that dry almost 

435
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,800
useless space, this plant has 
taken root and is bearing fruit.

436
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,200
Looking so beautiful, adding so 
much color to that space and I 

437
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,800
was watching that and I came up 
and I was just thinking about it

438
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,600
that that Rose didn't care that,
it was located in the worst 

439
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200
possible location, it didn't 
care that. 

440
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,400
It's exposed to the direct heat 
of the Chennai. 

441
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,800
Son, it's blooming where it's 
granted. 

442
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,900
And the new creation life is 
something like that. 

443
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:44,000
That even if you're in, you're 
at your most bad and even if 

444
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,700
you're at the lowest season of 
your life, you're looking at it 

445
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:50,500
with hope. 
You're looking at it saying, I 

446
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:54,100
can go to sleep knowing that 
tomorrow tonight. 

447
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:58,300
The next day following days, 
Jesus is with me. 

448
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,900
I'm not alone. 
I can look at the worst 

449
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:03,500
situations happening. 
Right now unfolding before me 

450
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,700
and seeing God, you still have 
something good that you're going

451
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:10,100
to bring out of this. 
I can trust him to fight for me 

452
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,800
and speak up for me. 
Even when I cannot, that's the 

453
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000
beautiful thing about the new 
creation life. 

454
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,500
It's one where I can entrust the
most dead parts of my life to 

455
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:25,400
him, knowing that he will 
breathe a fresh breath upon, it 

456
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,600
knowing that he can resurrect 
anything. 

457
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:32,800
Should he choose to? 
I know that with him in my life 

458
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,500
out of the most broken places 
good can come out of it. 

459
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,800
The Abundant Life promised by 
Jesus is only facilitated by the

460
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,300
presence of the Holy Spirit In 
Our Lives. 

461
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:47,200
Let's not kid ourselves. 
Let's not assume that if I try 

462
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,900
and attempt to live the best 
life possible In My Own 

463
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:52,700
Strength, I can do it. 
You don't have to do that. 

464
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:56,200
The holy spirit is our helper. 
Jesus himself, said, I need to 

465
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,200
go. 
So then I can send my helper to 

466
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,900
you. 
It was something that Jesus 

467
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,700
Promised and Jesus insured. 
What come to us? 

468
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,700
The holy spirit is God With Us. 
He is with us. 

469
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,200
He's helping us. 
So if you are in a process where

470
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600
you feel, I'm going through some
sort of weathering and getting 

471
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,000
pillock and getting beaten by 
Pebbles and stones and all of 

472
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
that, don't worry about it. 
The holy spirit is doing the 

473
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,300
work of breaking down things in 
your life that need to be broken

474
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:26,800
down and he is going to break in
you life. 

475
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:33,100
As I wrap up. 
I just want to remind you that 

476
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,700
this Holy Spirit a lot of times 
we don't give him room because 

477
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:39,100
we think well I've heard these 
stories about what the anointing

478
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:41,400
looks like. 
I've heard that it's it's it 

479
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,500
could embarrass somebody. 
It could be too loud. 

480
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,900
It could be too noisy. 
I want to just quiet and your 

481
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,800
spirit for that for a few 
minutes. 

482
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:51,800
I have a whole bunch of 
Bougainville on my garden 

483
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,000
because I'm only capable of 
looking after hard. 

484
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,100
Woody plants like that. 
And many times over the over the

485
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,900
summer, I forgotten to water the
plants in a couple of the edges 

486
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,700
of the plants have grouped or 
the, the the stem has gotten 

487
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,100
briquette. 
So when there's a strong Breeze,

488
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:12,300
those dead parts of the plant 
fall off and they just get 

489
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:15,000
pushed around by the wind and 
the usually taken away far away 

490
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,600
from the plant. 
But the very same wind, which 

491
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,600
does that to the Bougainville. 
I've been watching. 

492
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,100
Also when I sit on the balcony, 
I see many, many cotton seeds 

493
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,400
which are flying around in the 
wind looking for pollination 

494
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,200
opportunities and it's beautiful
because same wind the Holy 

495
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,100
Spirit who pulls down things 
that don't belong in our lives, 

496
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,900
the one who empties our life of 
things that are fruitless and 

497
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:44,700
unproductive is the same. 
Holy Spirit who brings Fresh 

498
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:47,000
Life in the same. 
Holy Spirit. 

499
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,100
And who brings fruitfulness out 
of seemingly fruitless 

500
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,200
situations. 
So the holy spirit is a gently. 

501
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,100
Gently guide is gently helper. 
He doesn't want to shake you up 

502
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:00,300
like a tornado. 
He doesn't want to beat you 

503
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,200
like, a hurricane. 
That's not his intention. 

504
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,400
His intention is to do his 
gentle work on a constant 

505
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,000
consistent basis, so that the 
change is sustained. 

506
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,700
So that the change is for a 
lifetime, if you will allow him 

507
00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:18,300
in, if you Make room, if you 
will. 

508
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,100
Consciously in vitamin C, Holy 
Spirit. 

509
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:22,500
I need you. 
I am struggling. 

510
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:25,900
I don't know how to guard my 
mouth. 

511
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,800
I don't know how to say the 
right thing at the right time. 

512
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:32,900
I don't know how to respond to 
certain people. 

513
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,100
I don't know how to lead this 
new life, you're calling me to 

514
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:43,700
Live, help me, I can assure you 
that the holy spirit, intervenes

515
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:47,100
in the most beautiful ways, he 
is your constant companion, she 

516
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:50,300
is your guide. 
He is your counselor, he is your

517
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,300
comforter, he's going to help 
you over the next three weeks. 

518
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,700
As we get closer to Pentecost 
Sunday, our desire for you is 

519
00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:01,300
that you will experience the 
holy spirit's touch in every 

520
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:05,200
area of your life. 
Maybe you're saying this part of

521
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,800
my marriage is so dead. 
It cannot be resurrected the 

522
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,700
holy spirit's probably going to 
see one of it. 

523
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:16,700
I can resurrect that maybe 
you've been seeing my work. 

524
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:21,000
Life is so dead end. 
I don't have any purpose here. 

525
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,100
The holy spirit is going to 
bring fresh purpose. 

526
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:25,800
Maybe not in that job. 
Maybe somewhere else. 

527
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,000
Maybe right in that job. 
May be saying you wait stay 

528
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,600
there. 
I'm going to change things as I 

529
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,100
pray this evening for you. 
This is what I want to leave 

530
00:29:34,100 --> 00:29:37,100
with you. 
That you would invite the Holy 

531
00:29:37,100 --> 00:29:40,900
Spirit and not just into 
particular areas but tell him to

532
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:43,700
flood your whole life. 
Tell him to shine a light on the

533
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,000
Dark Places. 
Tell him you're welcome to move.

534
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,800
The things around that are not 
meant to be there and you're 

535
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,300
welcome to usher in the new. 
Can we do that together? 

536
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:59,200
Father God, we just thank you we
thank you for your son Jesus. 

537
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,500

We thank you that he is so kind 
and mindful of us.

heart and mind, and that when we

540
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:14,500

parts, he helps us learn. 

541
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,800
And father, we right now, ask 
that you would give us the holy 

542
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,100
spirit that you would anoint us 
afresh. 

543
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400
I mean, ask holy spirit that you
will move in our life and 

544
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,700
displace things that are not 
meant to be there. 

545
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:31,800
Pull down every ungodly 
stronghold, pull down every 

546
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,600
lofty opinion and sophisticated 
sounding argument.

thought.
