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

00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,500
We are local church based here

In you as we under seasoned of 

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

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Spirit through fresh eyes. 
We often look for breakthrough 

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,700
to a Civ 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 --> 00:00:42,400
lives. 
How committed are we to Opening 

10
00:00:42,400 --> 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
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,100
Hello, everyone. 
It is wonderful to be back. 

13
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600
I know we were kind of missing 
for a few weeks so we were 

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,700
visiting my wife's parents. 
So Spent about a month with 

15
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,800
them. 
So it is good to be back with 

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800
you. 
And so we are in the middle of a

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,600
series that is looking forward 
to Pentecost. 

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,900
So the focus of the series is 
the holy spirit. 

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,400
So you would have heard from 
Tina. 

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Last week as she talked about 
Spirit Break Down how the Holy 

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Spirit transforms us purifies as
cleanses us and today the theme 

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,800
of the messages, Holy Spirit 
breakout so and I see you would 

23
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,200
have seen the Opener. 
The image of fire. 

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,800
So as I'm going through this 
message, if you're telling 

25
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,900
yourself during a saw the 
opener, but I don't see how you 

26
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,800
relate to that. 
I'm with you just hold on tight 

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,700
and then we will get there at 
the end. 

28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,100
So our scripture Focus for today
is going to be from Galatians, 

29
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:57,800
chapter 5 verses 13 to 26. 
However, I'm going to do 

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,300
something different than I 
normally do normally I feel like

31
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:03,700
I get right into scripture, we 
read scripture, get into it, and

32
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:06,600
we go through that today, I'm 
gonna do something a little 

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,199
different, so there are two very
important things. 

34
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,000
I want to talk about before we 
get into scripture. 

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
So, we will focus on those two 
important things. 

36
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,400
And then we will read scripture 
and go in to what we can get 

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,600
from scripture today. 
Okay? 

38
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:24,200
Now before I start, I'm going to
say a word of prayer and then 

39
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:29,000
we'll go from there. 
Heavenly Father, we thank you so

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,700
much for giving at this time to 
gather in Your Name. 

41
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:35,300
Lord father we will always be 
grateful and forever will be 

42
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,700
grateful that we can gather in 
your name that we have the 

43
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:41,500
freedom and peace and the 
security do that here were and 

44
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:46,200
we remember and let us always 
remember Lord, the people that 

45
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:51,800
belong together, but do not have
the security of the peace or the

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,600
safety to do that Lords. 
If I the we Pray for those who 

47
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,400
because of your name because of 
their faith in your name because

48
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000
they call on your name, have 
difficult lives, have lives. 

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,700
That are filled with pain 
inflicted because of persecution

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,100
or just lives that are 
difficult. 

51
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:12,700
Uncomfortable or for the. 
We ask that you would bring them

52
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,200
comfort that you spirit will 
lead them and give them 

53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,600
boldness. 
When they needed Lord and 

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000
courage, when they needed Lord 
and father, that you would give 

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200
them safety when they're in 
trouble. 

56
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,800
When things are not safe that 
you would be their safety Lord, 

57
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,700
that you would protect them, and
you would leave them in here in 

58
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,900
path to safety. 
Lord protect them. 

59
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:40,000
Keep them focused on you or 
whatever, difficulty, they're 

60
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,400
going to the Lord. 
Let it not. 

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,300
Take their focus on the off you 
father. 

62
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:46,200
Let it not take the focus off 
you, but let them always keep 

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,600
their focus on. 
Work. 

64
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:53,200
So father, we ask that you would
speak to us that this would not 

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,800
be just words and thoughts that 
I have had Lord, but father, 

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,700
that it would be from you that 
you would speak to us that you 

67
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:07,000
would give me the words to speak
that you would give me the 

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,800
thoughts that you would lead my 
thoughts. 

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,700
Lord. 
And that, as I'm speaking, that 

70
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,100
every thought I have everywhere 
that had will be held captive 

71
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:18,399
Lord. 
And that you are the one. 

72
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,100
One, that is orchestrating the 
sorts of father. 

73
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:27,900
Speak to everyone, listening, 
speak to me and let our lives. 

74
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:33,000
Be changed and transformed, as 
we hear from your father, in 

75
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,500
Jesus name, we pray. 
Amen. 

76
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:41,300
So we are looking forward to 
Pentecost and we are doing this 

77
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,000
series that focuses on the holy 
spirit. 

78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,400
So this is part 2 of the series 
and the focus is the holy 

79
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,100
spirit. 
But before we get into 

80
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:54,800
scripture, I as I Was preparing 
for the message. 

81
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
I came across a very interesting
article that really grabbed my 

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,100
attention. 
The article, the purpose of the 

83
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:08,300
article was to talk about, What 
a possible barriers to be have 

84
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:12,200
from engaging with the Holy 
Spirit, and as I read it, I 

85
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,400
found it very interesting 
because I've never thought about

86
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
it in that sense that maybe 
there are certain barriers. 

87
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Are there certain patterns of 
thought? 

88
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,700
Or the way we think that might 
keep us from engaging with the 

89
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:26,700
holy spirit so I write it and I 
think that is a good starting 

90
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,100
point as we look forward to 
panic us to talk about what 

91
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:33,600
might be some barriers that keep
us from fully engaging with the 

92
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,400
Holy Spirit. 
It. 

93
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,100
It's easy when we think of the 
father and when you think of 

94
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:46,800
Jesus as son to visualize them 
as person or to think of them in

95
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,300
their personhood, when you think
of Jesus it, the visuals that 

96
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,800
come to mind are definitely that
of a person, right? 

97
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:59,100
And for Jesus, if that's pretty 
easy because he was God 

98
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:04,400
incarnate, right? 
He was he lived on earth, he 

99
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,500
took on human form and lived on.
And he had, he had a face. 

100
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,100
He had a body, so he took on 
human form. 

101
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,900
So it is very easy when we think
of Jesus, the son to think of 

102
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:21,700
him as a person, and nothing 
really clouds our view of him as

103
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,700
anything, but a person. 
And then when we think of the 

104
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:29,100
father, it is also quite easy 
for us to think of him as a 

105
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:33,200
person to the these words. 
Father and son are very common 

106
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,700
human words, very and did you 
know what relationships and So, 

107
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:42,000
when we hear the word father and
son, we automatically think of 

108
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,800
persons. 
That is where our mind goes to. 

109
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Even with Jesus. 
When you think of him as a 

110
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,600
person, it many times, at least 
my mind goes, even Beyond just a

111
00:06:51,608 --> 00:06:54,900
human bodily form and there is a
face that I attached to it. 

112
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Sadly it is the stereo typical 
like face that we see in 

113
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Renaissance art or or like 
class. 

114
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,100
Local art pieces and sadly. 
It's not the Middle Eastern like

115
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
brown skin. 
Jesus, that was likely what he 

116
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,800
looked like but when you think 
of the father, you may be 

117
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,700
influenced like by Art, like I 
have and may put a face to him, 

118
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:30,100
maybe a very strong but older 
man, with gray hair or maybe you

119
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,800
just Envision him as a person, 
but maybe not a face, but the 

120
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,100
words Father and Son and the 
Fact that Jesus was on Earth, 

121
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:44,200
living with us, makes it very 
easy for us to think of them as 

122
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:46,400
person think of them in their 
personhood. 

123
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:51,700
However, when it comes to the 
Holy Spirit or made ends, the 

124
00:07:51,707 --> 00:07:55,000
holy spirit is meant, is 
mentioned as the Holy Ghost. 

125
00:07:55,700 --> 00:08:01,200
We a person is not the first 
image that comes to our mind. 

126
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,900
When we think of spirit or 
ghost, we tend to imagine 

127
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:07,700
something. 
See the powering floating 

128
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:13,300
around. 
If, some of you are my age, you 

129
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,200
may think of Casper the Friendly
Ghost and think of something 

130
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,400
like that, right? 
And in many times, when we think

131
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,600
of the Holy Spirit, our 
questions are, what is it rather

132
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,400
than who is it, right? 
So now we I mean, the Holy 

133
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,200
Spirit, Is the third person of 
the Trinity, right? 

134
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:43,000
So he is the third person of the
Trinity, and he has personhood. 

135
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,100
So what are these barriers? 
That might prevent us from 

136
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:53,700
thinking in that way? 
So one such thing is the way we 

137
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,900
almost interpret or take, 
meaning, from the words that 

138
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:01,000
scripture uses to describe the 
Holy Spirit, right? 

139
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,400
So scripture uses certain words 
to describe the Holy Spirit, but

140
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,700
the meaning was We take from 
that is quite different to what 

141
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,600
scriptures communicating so that
could be a possible barrier. 

142
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:15,200
So many of the words used to 
describe the Holy Spirit, our 

143
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:23,500
fire wind water and and when you
think of the baptism of Jesus, 

144
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,300
when the Holy Spirit descends, 
it is like a bird or a do. 

145
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,900
So these are words that 
scripture uses too. 

146
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:38,800
Describe the actions of the Holy
Spirit and not the status or 

147
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,100
not, the person of the Holy 
Spirit, but many times the 

148
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:47,500
meaning we derive could be that,
these are words that describe 

149
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:50,600
him as a person rather than 
describe his action. 

150
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,200
So when we tell ourselves that 
these words describe him as a 

151
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,400
person, this is a very inanimate
things that have no human 

152
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,200
quality. 
So we tend not to think of him 

153
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,700
in this personhood when We think
of these words as describing his

154
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:11,800
status, but in reality, these 
words, describe his actions as 

155
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,800
in during Pentecost, when the 
Holy Spirit is described as this

156
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,500
wind, right? 
So, and then when he decided on 

157
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,700
Jesus is described as a like a 
bird, or a dove. 

158
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,900
So in those moments his activity
or what he did is described in 

159
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:34,500
those words and it is not his 
personhood that Describing 

160
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,800
those, right? 
So this is one such barrier that

161
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:44,400
if we just think of it in the 
right way, I can help us get 

162
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,000
past the hurdle that these words
that are used to describe the 

163
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,900
Holy Spirit. 
Our words used to describe his 

164
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:54,500
activity, his actions. 
Not his personhood, not his 

165
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,200
status and I mean there's some 
of the things that happen with 

166
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600
the father and the son, the son.
The father is described many 

167
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,800
times that God is described as a
rock. 

168
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,400
All right. 
And Jesus the son is we refer to

169
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,800
him as the lamb like these words
in their cases don't serve as 

170
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:16,700
barriers even though they're 
inanimate and they're not human 

171
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,900
because we already have this 
pictures of of them as persons 

172
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:25,600
but with the Holy Spirit they 
might so one is Considering the 

173
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,000
fact that the words used to 
describe the Holy Spirit words 

174
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,700
used to describe this activity 
and its actions and not his 

175
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:37,800
personhood. 
Another way to help us along the

176
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,700
journey to be able to do it. 
I think of the Holy Spirit as a 

177
00:11:40,708 --> 00:11:47,500
person as a who rather than a 
what is looking at the word that

178
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,500
the Apostle John uses in the 
Gospel of John and the Epistle 

179
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:54,100
of John, the word that the 
Apostle John uses, the Holy 

180
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,400
Spirit. 
Is perfectly. 

181
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,000
And so that's the word he was 
apparently perfectly. 

182
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,600
It quite literally means someone
who comes next to you. 

183
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,300
Someone that comes alongside you
to help you one who comes 

184
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,000
alongside you one who comes 
alongside you to help you. 

185
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,500
So it is and in many 
translations you can see that 

186
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:21,100
the word paraclete is translated
as Advocate counselor comforter.

187
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,700
So these are all words that are 
let me that have people that 

188
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,000
cash to write a comforter or 
counselor is a person that you 

189
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,500
could go to for counsel a 
comforter, somebody who comforts

190
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,900
you Advocate, someone who fights
for you. 

191
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:42,300
So when we think of this word 
and when we think of the Holy 

192
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:46,300
Spirit and then we this word 
paraclete is brought into our 

193
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:51,200
attention. 
Then it adds that personhood to 

194
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,500
the holy Spirit because it talks
about a person who comes 

195
00:12:54,500 --> 00:13:00,600
alongside you to help you. 
So and then one additional 

196
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,000
thing, right? 
We hear the father, speak 

197
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,600
throughout scripture. 
We hear Jesus speak in 

198
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:10,800
scripture, especially in the 
gospels. 

199
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,000
So hearing them speak helps us 
relate to them. 

200
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,200
Oh, seeing their speech in 
scripture. 

201
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,900
Helps us relate to them in their
personhood, but Think seldom 

202
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,700
have we seen how the Holy Spirit
speaks, right? 

203
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,300
That it's like, I mean, it's 
probably because there are many 

204
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,300
examples of that, but there's 
one very clear example. 

205
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:35,600
If you see it's acts 13:2, 
right? 

206
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:39,100
It says, while they were 
worshiping the Lord and fasting.

207
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,500
The holy spirit said, set apart 
for me Barnabas and Saul for the

208
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,600
work to which I have called 
them. 

209
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:49,200
So it doesn't say the Lord said 
the father said, or Jesus said 

210
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,600
clearly the holy spirit said set
them apart. 

211
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:55,000
For I have called him. 
So, here is an example, very 

212
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:03,300
clear example of the holy spirit
is speaking and, and, and 

213
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,700
communicating his will to the 
people. 

214
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:14,400
So he is person. 
So just like we view the father 

215
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,400
as a person at the Sun as a 
person, we can also view the 

216
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,000
Holy Spirit as a person because 
He is a, is the third person in 

217
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,500
the Trinity. 
He is, he is not 0 what he is, 

218
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:32,800
most definitely a who, and a 
very important who he is, the 

219
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,500
one who comes alongside you to 
help you. 

220
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:44,200
He is God, in dwelling in you. 
So if any of those things that 

221
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,500
we've mentioned, may have served
as barriers for you in how you 

222
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:51,100
engage with the holy spirit 
because you may have felt that 

223
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:58,000
he's not Personable or personal 
in any way that is far from 

224
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,800
reality. 
He is a person and he wants to 

225
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,200
come alongside you and help you.
Now why is this important to 

226
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,500
talk about? 
It's important talk about 

227
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:16,000
because it helps if we have not 
engaged with this thing. 

228
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,400
If we have had barriers to 
engage with the Holy Spirit and 

229
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,700
we are primarily focused on the 
father and the When it's 

230
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:29,500
important because it gives us 
the pathway to elevate the Holy 

231
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:32,900
Spirit and see him as equal with
the father and son which is 

232
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:37,400
right because it brings our 
Focus back to the Trinity. 

233
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:46,200
It brings our Focus back to Art 
our Triune God, our God is 

234
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Trinity, our God is Triune as in
one God, three persons. 

235
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:59,300
If one in three three and one. 
So this has I mean it's very 

236
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:05,800
important for us that we bring 
our Focus back and that when we 

237
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,700
talk of God and when we think of
God and when you view God that 

238
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,200
we view him in this try, you 
informed. 

239
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600
And but in order to view 
Ministry informed, we have to 

240
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,100
view them. 
The right way which is they are 

241
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,700
equal God. 
The Father God, the son God. 

242
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:26,700
Got the spirit are equal one God
three persons right. 

243
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:32,800
One in three and three and one. 
So Only one God and three 

244
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,000
persons, three persons in 
perfect union. 

245
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,600
Three persons that are mutually 
indwelling three persons that 

246
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:47,500
are Perfect love. 
So there is perfect love. 

247
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:51,400
There is perfect union and 
they're mutually involving, 

248
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,700
right? 
So this is important because our

249
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:58,200
God and this picture of the 
Trinity. 

250
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:04,099
Our Triune God is a picture of 
community three persons in 

251
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:09,900
perfect union, right? 
If you can picture this, our God

252
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,800
is community because it is 
three. 

253
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:17,700
Persons that are in perfect love
and perfect union mutually in 

254
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:25,200
developing each other. 
So that is why that we, if we 

255
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:29,700
have not that we Elevate the 
other way, we view the holy 

256
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,800
spirit so that we can view Our 
God. 

257
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,200
The right way, our God isn't 
only father, it's an only son 

258
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:38,600
and is it? 
Definitely not only Spirit, but 

259
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,500
our God is the father is Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, our God is

260
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:44,400
trying. 
You and our God is Trinity. 

261
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:49,100
And the implications that has is
that when we view Our God, the 

262
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:53,100
right way. 
As Triune as Trinity, Community 

263
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:58,400
becomes valuable. 
We can't not but value Community

264
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:02,500
because our God itself is a 
picture of community because 

265
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:11,800
three persons in perfect union, 
mutually indwelling, So why did 

266
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
we work through that to come to 
this thing of value and 

267
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200
community? 
So now we are going to get into 

268
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,800
scripture. 
I get. 

269
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:25,300
So we reading from Galatians 
chapter 5 verses 13 to 26. 

270
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:29,600
I will read through a couple 
verses. 

271
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,000
We'll talk about it, then we'll 
read bigger Chunk in the middle 

272
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,800
and then we'll end up with a 
couple verses to background too.

273
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,100
Galatians. 
So this is the letter that Paul 

274
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,200
is writing to the churches in 
galatia. 

275
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:47,000
These are churches that he 
planted and now he's away. 

276
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,500
And he is gotten wind of the 
trouble. 

277
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,300
That is plaguing the churches. 
And he is filled with concern 

278
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,300
and he pens this letter to 
address the concerns that are 

279
00:18:59,308 --> 00:19:03,000
going on. 
So, Paul preached the gospel to 

280
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,500
them, they accepted the gospel 
and they came and Community of 

281
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,500
the church was formed in 
galatia, however, as one spot 

282
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:22,200
left, and in time people whose 
focus is not the gospel have 

283
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,500
crept into the community. 
We, I heard one commentator 

284
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:30,300
called them the agitators, so we
could label them as the 

285
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:33,800
agitators. 
These agitators Krypton, the 

286
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,300
focus of the agitators was not 
the gospel. 

287
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:39,900
The focus of the agitators. 
Who was the law so they were 

288
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:45,200
promoting that it is the law 
that brings you to the family of

289
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,300
God and it was The Rite of 
circumcision that brings you 

290
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,300
into the family of God. 
So Paul is writing this letter 

291
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:57,800
to remind the people in the 
church in galatia that the 

292
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,900
gospel was, is different from 
what these people are saying, 

293
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:04,400
right? 
He's telling them, if you read 

294
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:11,000
the first, Chapter of Galatians,
you can see Paul is emphatic. 

295
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,600
He tells them even if an angel 
shows up with a different 

296
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,200
gospel, don't believe it because
I proclaim the true gospel to 

297
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,900
you. 
So he is writing to them and 

298
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:25,400
calling them back to the gospel,
calling them back to focus on 

299
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:29,500
Jesus. 
And so we're going to read it 

300
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:34,400
starting from Galatians chapter 
5 verses 13 through 26. 

301
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:40,700
You my brothers and sisters were
called to be free but do not use

302
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,600
your freedom to indulge the 
flesh. 

303
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:49,400
Rather serve one another. 
Humbly in luck for the entire 

304
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,300
law is fulfilled in keeping this
one commandment, love your 

305
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:59,000
neighbor as yourself. 
If you bite and devour each 

306
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,600
other watch out, or you will be 
destroyed by each other. 

307
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:10,800
So you start out with this theme
of Freedom, so brothers and 

308
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,700
sisters, you are free. 
So you have accepted the gospel 

309
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,200
and through your faith in 
Christ. 

310
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,900
You are free. 
But this Freedom, you have is 

311
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:26,800
not free to do anything you 
want. 

312
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:32,300
This freedom is have is you are 
free to love, not feed, 

313
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,600
indulging, anything else. 
But you have the freedom Freedom

314
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,700
to love and when he talks about 
love he talks about love your 

315
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,400
neighbor as yourself. 
So he talks about freedom and 

316
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:50,900
that the reason for this freedom
is you are free to love, not 

317
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600
anything else. 
I mean, of course you can use 

318
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,900
that freedom or something, but 
he says the freedom that you 

319
00:21:55,900 --> 00:22:01,000
have is because you can use that
freedom to love. 

320
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,300
So let's keep in mind, freedom. 
And let's keep Ben mind love as 

321
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:11,500
we keep reading. 
So before I move on verse 15, 

322
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:15,300
right? 
He tells them if you bite and 

323
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,200
devour each other watch out you 
will destroy each other, right? 

324
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:24,900
Quite literally tells them If 
you bite it, eat each other or 

325
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:26,100
stop biting and eating each 
other. 

326
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:30,500
Really, I'm, and as I read this,
I'm kind of wondering how bad 

327
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:34,700
things get in galatia that he 
had to be so Stern in very 

328
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:40,800
graphic with his words, right? 
So but just a thought that was a

329
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,500
tangent. 
So now back so next is verses 16

330
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:51,500
through versus 21. 
So I say walk by the spirit and 

331
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,100
you will not gratify the 
desires. 

332
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Fires of the flesh for the flesh
desires. 

333
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,600
What is contrary to the spirit 
and the spirit, what is contrary

334
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,700
to the flesh? 
They are in conflict with each 

335
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,100
other, so that you are not to do
whatever you want. 

336
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,200
But if you are led by the 
spirit, you are not under the 

337
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,600
law, the acts of the flesh are 
obvious, sexual immorality, 

338
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,400
impurity and debauchery 
idolatry, and Witchcraft, hatred

339
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,900
Discord, jealousy, fits of Rage 
selfish ambition. 

340
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Dissensions factions and envy 
drunkenness. 

341
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,600
Orgies, and the like I warn you,
as I did before that, those who 

342
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,600
live like this will not inherit 
the kingdom of God. 

343
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,900
So we started with you are free 
to love and then in that same 

344
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:46,000
theme of Freedom, he goes on to 
say, walk by the spirit so you 

345
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:47,800
don't gratify the desires of the
flesh. 

346
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,200
So I couple things to focus on 
in on here, when the face walk 

347
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:02,400
by the spirit and how Paul holds
two things in opposition, which 

348
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,800
is the Flesh and the spirit. 
So when he's talking about the 

349
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,600
Flesh and the spirit, the idea 
here is nine ideas. 

350
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,100
We've seen in other Pauline 
letters where it is the physical

351
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,500
world and the world that is not 
seeing, like, you like words, we

352
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:19,900
have seen in the past of the 
higher authorities are 

353
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,700
authorities powers. 
If the line. 

354
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:28,300
So it's not it's not that 
meaning that's conveyed here. 

355
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,300
Here it's more in terms of 
identity. 

356
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:40,100
So he's contrasting them to see,
is your identity In the Flesh, 

357
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:41,900
or is your identity in the 
spirit. 

358
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:46,400
If your identity is in the 
spirit then it means that Purity

359
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,100
is in Christ, your ideas in the 
Holy Spirit, the holy spirit is 

360
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:55,300
what motivates you. 
The holy spirit is what power is

361
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:58,200
you so your motivation is from 
the Holy Spirit. 

362
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:05,100
You are powered, I mean, by the 
holy spirit, so that is what the

363
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:10,200
team is trying to convey as an 
walk in the spirit walk by the 

364
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,700
spirit is that you find your 
identity in Christ. 

365
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:17,600
You find your identity in the 
Holy Spirit and your motivation 

366
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,400
is from the Holy Spirit and the 
power with which you function is

367
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:28,000
also from the Holy Spirit. 
Or so, and it will keep reading.

368
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:29,800
So things to keep in mind, 
right? 

369
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:34,000
You are free to choose, use your
freedom to love. 

370
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:36,700
And then walking by this great 
meeting. 

371
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,000
You find your identity in the 
Holy Spirit, you find identity 

372
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,400
in Christ. 
Now we're going to read the last

373
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:50,100
couple verses. 
This is verse 22 to 26, but the 

374
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:54,200
fruit of the spirit is love joy,
peace forbearance. 

375
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Kindness goodness faithfulness, 
gentleness and self-control 

376
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,400
against such things. 
There is no law, those who 

377
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,800
belong to Christ. 
Jesus have crucified, the flesh 

378
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,800
with its passions and desires, 
since we live by the spirit, let

379
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,900
us keep in step with the spirit.
Let us not become conceited, 

380
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:16,200
provoking and envying. 
Being each other. 

381
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,400
So, I have to thank my wife. 
Whom I love very much for this 

382
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,200
next day as I was prepping for 
this. 

383
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,700
I kept saying fruits of the 
spirit and she looked at me and 

384
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:31,600
said, Jaron, it is singular. 
It is a single fruit of the 

385
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,600
spirit and I don't think I 
personally have ever seen it 

386
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,200
mentioned that way or very life.
He what I was doing was not 

387
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,300
paying attention, when someone 
was pointing it up. 

388
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,100
So it is a singular fruit of the
spirit. 

389
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:48,800
It is not multiple fruits. 
The spirit, it is not multiple 

390
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,300
in that you get to choose 
option, A, and B and not C and 

391
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:56,500
D. 
It's not a situation where well,

392
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,800
my personality lines up more 
with self-control and goodness, 

393
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,500
but kindness forbearance, Joy, 
love and peace really on 

394
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:10,400
something I can dry with. 
So I get to pick two that I like

395
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,100
that my personality Rosemond and
the rest. 

396
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:17,000
I can discard, right? 
So that is not the case. 

397
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:20,100
Case there is a single fruit of 
the spirit and that single fruit

398
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:22,100
of the spirit is all of these 
things. 

399
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,700
It is not a pick and choose it 
is. 

400
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,400
I want to say all or nothing, if
you can keep it that way but it 

401
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,800
is a single fruit. 
So and the fruit of the spirit 

402
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:41,900
is because you are empowered by 
the spirit, our life, bear this 

403
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,700
this fruit because of the Holy 
Spirit and not apart from him. 

404
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:53,100
But because of him, however, 
there is a little caveat, right?

405
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:57,600
The holy spirit is not a spirit 
that Possesses you. 

406
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:02,100
And causes you to do things that
you don't want to. 

407
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,400
He is not a spirit. 
Like the spirits that serve 

408
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,900
God's enemy, that might possess 
people and take control. 

409
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:15,000
He is not someone, he is not as 
per, the does that. 

410
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:18,900
He's not a spirit is going to 
possess you to make you love to 

411
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:21,700
possess you. 
To make you be kinder how to 

412
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:25,300
make you have self-control, he 
is a Gentle Spirit, right? 

413
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:31,000
So, the caveat is, Is, if you 
look at verse 25, it says, we 

414
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,300
live by the spirit. 
Let us keep in step with the 

415
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:40,900
spirit, one translation that I 
read, that really helped me out.

416
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:44,800
Was it says we lived at by the 
spirit and let us keep in line 

417
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:49,800
with the spirit. 
So this fruit of the spirit, 

418
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,100
this walking by the spirit, 
living by the spirit is think of

419
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,100
it as a shared responsibility. 
On civility. 

420
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:03,500
The holy spirit is not going to.
Possess you, and will you into 

421
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:07,600
doing something or Force you? 
But he is going to come 

422
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,000
alongside you and guide you and 
because he is the paraclete, 

423
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,700
right? 
He's the one who comes alongside

424
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,400
and we have a shared 
responsibility to keep in line 

425
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:25,000
to keep in step, a good analogy 
to think of this way, is a dance

426
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,500
in a dance. 
When two people dancing, there's

427
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,100
normally a lead partner, right? 
And then the other Unfollow. 

428
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:36,300
So, imagine we are in a dance in
the Holy Spirit is the lead what

429
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:41,300
it is. 
Our responsibility to follow. 

430
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:46,600
And so again we have the theme 
of Freedom. 

431
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:52,500
Well when back in right it is 
our choice to choose, right? 

432
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:57,600
Freedom has been woven in to the
last life to our life, as humans

433
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,000
since creation God, put the tree
of the knowledge of Good and 

434
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,800
Evil smack in the middle and 
told us, that's what it is. 

435
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:13,200
Choose not to do it, we chose. 
so freedom is Part of our 

436
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Christian Life, we are free and 
because of that freedom we can 

437
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,600
choose what is right. 
And in this case we have the 

438
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:29,000
freedom to love and we have the 
freedom to walk in line and in 

439
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,100
step with the holy spirit. 
So and when we choose that 

440
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:42,500
freedom to do these things then 
These this fruit will flourish 

441
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:47,000
in our lives. 
The holy spirit will develop and

442
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,000
will grow this fruit in our 
lives. 

443
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,400
So as we read the rest, we are 
free. 

444
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,600
We use our freedom to and we 
choose love and we are able to 

445
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,500
love because we walk by the 
spirit. 

446
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:07,000
We walk in line with the spirit 
we walk in step with this. 

447
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,700
Spirit and we choose to follow 
him as he leads us. 

448
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:15,200
We don't get ahead of him. 
What we choose to follow my see 

449
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:22,800
leads us and as we choose to do 
that, he develops the fruit of 

450
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,000
the spirit within us. 
He empowers us. 

451
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:31,700
He is the one that motivates us,
he is the power that is within 

452
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:33,800
us. 
End. 

453
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:41,300
So how does this relate to the 
opener that we saw? 

454
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:45,300
And how does this relate to the 
theme of community? 

455
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,500
I was trying to bring out about 
the Trinity, the Triune God. 

456
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,700
So Paul is writing to a 
community, right? 

457
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
He is writing to a group of 
people and calling them to do 

458
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,800
this. 
So this letter is being read out

459
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,000
to a community. 
It is instructions to not a 

460
00:32:02,008 --> 00:32:04,700
single person but it's 
instructions to a community. 

461
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:11,400
So this fruit of the spirit is 
not for any single person, but 

462
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,400
this fruit of the spirit is for 
our community and it is to 

463
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,000
sustain our community. 
So as we look forward to 

464
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,900
Pentecost, right? 
We see how the Holy Spirit 

465
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:27,100
arrived on the scene with power 
and might. 

466
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:33,700
And as I use have expressing the
past ones, like we as a church, 

467
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:38,100
we are poised for For growth. 
I have no doubt that the holy 

468
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:42,600
spirit will show up in power and
might and there will be signs 

469
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,400
and wonders according to is well
I have no doubt about it and 

470
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,100
that those signs and what it 
does signs will bring people in,

471
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:57,400
and this church will grow. 
And they will see our God for 

472
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:03,400
the one true God that he is. 
And Now, those are specific 

473
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,000
events where we see God's power.
We see the power of the Holy 

474
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,300
Spirit. 
Now how do we sustain that? 

475
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:16,200
How do we continue to sustain 
the community as these people 

476
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:19,800
who may have seen a science 
coming the way we sustain? 

477
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:27,500
That is this the fruit of the 
spirit and that is how the 

478
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:29,600
opener comes, and you saw the 
opener, right? 

479
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,000
It was a control. 
Old fire. 

480
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:43,400
So if we since we are free and 
we choose our freedom for the 

481
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,000
Flesh and not the spirit, then 
it is like a forest, fire a 

482
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,700
wildfire, that is out of control
and everything it touches it. 

483
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:59,800
Ravages it destroys and that 
thing is no more. 

484
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:06,000
So, however, because we are 
free, we can choose Love and we 

485
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,699
can choose the spirit and we can
walk in line with the spirit so 

486
00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:14,199
that the fruit of the holy 
spirit is developed within us. 

487
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:20,100
And when we do that, it is that 
controlled fire that spreads and

488
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:25,400
whatever it touches it does not 
destroy, but it purifies, it is 

489
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,300
not out of control. 
It's focused and its purpose as 

490
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:34,300
its Prejudice to purify. 
So when we, because we're free, 

491
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:38,300
we Choose to be in line with the
spirit and when we interact with

492
00:34:38,699 --> 00:34:42,400
and when we relate to people, 
within the walls in the church 

493
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:46,600
or outside, and we choose to 
relate, to them in kindness over

494
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,500
unkindness, may choose to 
relate, to them with compassion,

495
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,000
over Envy. 
When we choose to relate, to 

496
00:34:54,007 --> 00:35:01,700
them in peace and goodness over.
Malice The holy spirit is 

497
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:05,700
breaking out in those moments. 
The power of the holy spirit is 

498
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:09,900
just as much there in those 
moments as it is there in signs 

499
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:13,100
and wonders. 
So those moments is where the 

500
00:35:13,107 --> 00:35:16,600
holy spirit is breaking out. 
Those moments is where the fire 

501
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,700
is spreading. 
And I tell you definitely, when 

502
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,900
the fruit when you develop the 
Fruit of the Spirit and the Holy

503
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,900
Spirit shows up in power and 
might through the fruit of the 

504
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:32,300
Holy Spirit. 
In your interactions with people

505
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:35,300
who may not know. 
Jesus, definitely. 

506
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,400
Holy spirit is breaking out 
there as they see your life 

507
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,200
being transformed. 
There's only one reason for that

508
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,400
transformed life, and it's the 
one true God. 

509
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,600
So that is how the holy spirit 
will sustain us. 

510
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,900
That is how he will break out. 
He will use the fruit and spread

511
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:59,300
that he's developing within us 
and as we come together in 

512
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:04,400
community as As we grow together
in community, he will use the 

513
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:09,000
food that he's developing within
us to sustain us and to help us 

514
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,800
girl and this Holy Spirit fire 
that breaks out.
