1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480 So our brother Joshua, chairman, will give us the word as we wait 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,720 on the Holy Spirit to pour on us. 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,640 Amen. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,880 We thank God so much for tonight and for how far he's brought us 5 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,360 as a church. Amen. 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,160 Again, I want to say a big thank you to our district pastor, then 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,920 the executive of English Assembly for given me this 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,160 opportunity. I don't take it for granted. 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,840 Thank you very much. Amen. 10 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,400 Throughout this year we are focusing on the gospel and the 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,800 power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel and the power of the 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800 Holy Spirit. And so the theme for the Church 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,680 of Pentecost this year is the church on leash to transform 14 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,560 society through the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,200 Amen. But for this two weeks, 14 days 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,920 fasting and prayers, we are zooming in on the Holy Ghost. 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,440 There are two topics, the Gospel and the power of the Holy Ghost. 18 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,680 But in this our 14 days fasting, we are focusing on the power of 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520 the Holy Ghost. And so the theme for the 14 20 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,880 days, as the NC Riley said, the Holy Spirit will come upon you 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,320 and the power of the Most High will over shadow you. 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800 And so tonight I'm speaking about the same theme which have 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,120 termed the power of the most high. 24 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,920 So I'm speaking on the theme the power of the most high. 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,000 We read our main text from Luke chapter one, verse 35. 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,760 Luke chapter one, verse 35. And I read the Angel answered, 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,760 the Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,000 High will over shadow you. So the Holy One to be born will 29 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,080 be called the Son of God. Praise the Lord, the Holy Spirit 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,160 will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will over 31 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,880 shadow you. The power of the host Most High 32 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320 I'm talking about tonight is the Holy Spirit. 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000 So the Holy Spirit himself is the power of the Most High. 34 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,920 The Angel Gabriel comes to Mary, then gives her a strange 35 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,360 salutation and tells them that look, you are going to conceive 36 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280 and you give birth. The son you give birth to will 37 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,080 be called the Son of the Most High. 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,840 This child is going to do this, he's going to do that, he's 39 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200 going to do this. And after giving Mary the news, 40 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,800 Mary asks how is this going to be possible? 41 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,360 You. For now, let's put aside what 42 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,920 the child is going to do. How is it I'm even going to get 43 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,960 pregnant in the 1st place because I've not seen any man 44 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760 yet. Then this is the response of the 45 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,880 Angel. The Holy Spirit will come upon 46 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320 you and the power of the Most High will over shadow you. 47 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,840 What we can learn from this one is that when the Holy Spirit 48 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,280 comes upon a man, what we know to be impossible becomes 49 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280 possible. Praise the Lord, when the power 50 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,480 of the Most High overshadows a person, there is no limit to 51 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,920 possibilities he or she can achieve. 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,280 OK so this is a young virgin we are talking about and the Angel 53 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,800 says you are going to conceive. OK, then she asks, how is this 54 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,120 possible? How is this possible? 55 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,280 According to the law of reproduction? 56 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,000 We know that in you need a man and a woman to be able to 57 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920 conceive. But when the Holy Spirit comes 58 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,600 upon someone, when the power of the most highest present, what 59 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,000 we know to be impossible becomes possible. 60 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,040 Praise the Lord. In normal days we know that yes, 61 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 when doctors diagnose you with a certain kind of disease, with 62 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,000 certain kind of cancers, definitely there is no cure. 63 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,240 You are going to die, but with the power of the Holy Spirit 64 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,400 there is a cure. Are we together? 65 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,520 We know that in our setting, in our economy, on a normal day or 66 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,640 in a normal time for a young man it takes about 10 years to be 67 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,920 able to settle, work, get some money. 68 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,320 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, that 10 years can be 69 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,480 compressed into a year. Are we together? 70 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,160 So when the Holy Spirit comes upon a man, there is no limit to 71 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,840 possibilities he or she can achieve. 72 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,120 And it is my prayer that within this week we will receive the 73 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,480 Holy Ghost. Amen. 74 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,200 So if you read First Kings chapter 18 verse 40 says First 75 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,400 Kings 1840 says Bible says that. And the power of God came upon 76 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Elijah and he was able to run past the chariot of Ahab. 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,640 So my old boy mostly does this analogy. 78 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,600 Chariot in those days. OK, in those days one of their 79 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,600 fiercest then top notch speed mode of transport was a chariot. 80 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,880 If you compare it to our modern day, we are looking at AV 84 by 81 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,240 4. Are we together? 82 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,400 So on a normal day it is not possible for a human being to 83 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,440 run past AV eight. That is speeding. 84 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,560 It doesn't happen, it is not possible. 85 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,120 But with the power of the Holy Spirit it becomes possible. 86 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800 When the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon a person, it 87 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,920 gives the person speed. Whatever you think you cannot 88 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,160 achieve, it is attainable. Are we together? 89 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,680 And so in Genesis chapter 1, Bible says that the earth was 90 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,720 formless. It was void, and darkness was 91 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200 over the face of the earth. But when the Holy Spirit took 92 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320 darkness as raw material, he was able to produce light. 93 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,680 Are we following? I want you to appreciate the 94 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520 power of the Most High. I'm talking about tonight. 95 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,640 OK. In Genesis chapter one, there 96 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,880 was void, chaos and darkness, but when the Spirit of God came, 97 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,960 He made light out of it. This year you will need the Holy 98 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520 Spirit. Listen, your life cannot be 99 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,640 darker than it was in Genesis chapter 1. 100 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,840 Neither can it be more chaotic than it was in Genesis chapter 101 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,120 1. But even in the midst of the 102 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,680 chaos and uncertainties, when the power of the Most High 103 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,480 comes, it becomes possible. Praise the Lord. 104 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,080 So Zachariah chapter 4 verse six, there is an interesting 105 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,200 message there. Zachariah chapter 4 verses. 106 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,280 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel. 107 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:36,360 It is not by might nor by power, but my spirit says the Lord God. 108 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,520 So the question is, what is not by might? 109 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,160 What were they doing that God was telling them? 110 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,480 That it is not by power, but by my spirit? 111 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,000 In those days, the people of Israel, they were involved in so 112 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640 many sins, and so God sold them into captivity. 113 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,760 He allowed the king of Babylon to capture them. 114 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,800 And so Israel was spread into captivity, into many nations. 115 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,680 The beautiful temple that Solomon built was destroyed. 116 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,280 The city gates were all broken down. 117 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,320 And so after so many years in captivity, the Lord had mercy on 118 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640 His people and brought them back to Jerusalem. 119 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,280 And so when they came back to Jerusalem, they decided to build 120 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,120 the temple that has been destroyed. 121 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,880 And so when they started building the temple, Bible said 122 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,560 they laid the foundation. After laying the foundation, 123 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,880 that opposition started. The nations around them started 124 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,200 opposing them. We will not let you build this. 125 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440 The opposition was so strong that they wrote letters to even 126 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,120 the governor to put a ban on the building of the temple. 127 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 And so in this opposition, then chaos, then the word of the Lord 128 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,080 came to Zakaria and this is the word of the Lord. 129 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960 He says Tell Zerubbabel that this temple will be completed. 130 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,720 No one is going to hinder the progress of this temple. 131 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,680 It will surely be completed. Are we together? 132 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680 OK? Not even the mountains can stand 133 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920 before you, Zerubbabel. And how are you going to achieve 134 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800 this? And he's telling him it is not 135 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,560 by might, it is not by power. You are going to build the 136 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,720 temple not from your military ability or your intellect. 137 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,440 But then it is by the Spirit of God. 138 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,760 Praise the Lord. This year I came to tell you 139 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,440 that it is not by might this year. 140 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,640 It is not by your intellect. It is not by your wisdom or your 141 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280 schooling. It is by the Spirit of God. 142 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,919 If we'll be able to possess the nation's, if we'll be able to 143 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,320 influence us as fears, as children of God, we will need 144 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,480 the Spirit of God in our Christian journey. 145 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,600 If we'll be able to survive in this darkness and in this world 146 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,400 where compromise is too much, if we'll be able to stand our 147 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,120 grounds and not be wary, it is by the Spirit of God, praise the 148 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,960 Lord. It is not by might, it is not by 149 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,560 power, but by the Spirit, says the Lord God. 150 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,600 And so quickly I want to share a few thoughts about the Holy 151 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,080 Spirit. Who is he? 152 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,400 Then we'll look at the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 153 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Then we can pray. So who is the Holy Spirit? 154 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960 The Holy Spirit is God living with man. 155 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,240 He is God living with man. He is the third person of the 156 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,640 Godhead, and the Holy Spirit is God himself. 157 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,680 You see, right from the beginning, right from creation, 158 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,680 God has always wanted a way to live with man. 159 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,040 And so in Genesis, Bible says that God will visit man every 160 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400 day in the cool of the day until man fell. 161 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,880 So in the Old Testament, God was visiting His people by the act 162 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,400 of the Lord. That was the presence of the 163 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Lord with his people. And so whenever the act of the 164 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,080 Lord was taken from Israel, you see that the people of Israel 165 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,840 becomes the step. Why? 166 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Because the presence of the Lord was taken from them. 167 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,760 Because in the Old Testament, what was with his people by the 168 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,080 presence of the ark, we come to the New Testament and God is is 169 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,720 with his people through the person of Jesus Christ. 170 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,720 And so when Jesus was around, his disciples were not lacking 171 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,840 anything. One of the days the Pharisees 172 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400 came to him and asked him that why is it that you, your 173 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,120 disciples, they are not fasting, they are always chilling, they 174 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,400 are eating, hey, but we are fasting, we are, we are tiring. 175 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,440 Then Jesus told him that who stays with the bridegroom and 176 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,160 gets hungry? It is not possible. 177 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:47,200 So at that era, Jesus, God was with his people in the person of 178 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,040 Jesus Christ. But in our time, God is with us 179 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,080 through the person of the Holy Spirit. 180 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360 And so the Holy Spirit is called with us. 181 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, are we together, Right. 182 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,400 And so when Jesus was done with his earthly ministry and he was 183 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,680 going, He gave a promise to us. OK, so John chapter 14 will read 184 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:16,600 the verse 16 to 17. John chapter 14 will read the 185 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,320 verse 16 and 17. And this is Jesus speaking and I 186 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,120 will ask the Father and he will give you another advocate, other 187 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,760 version says another comforter or another helper to help you 188 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,320 and to be with you forever. Now who is this helper? 189 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,480 Jesus is talking about the next phase, the spirit of truth. 190 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480 Hello. Jesus has done with his earthly 191 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,440 ministry and his living. Then he's giving his disciples a 192 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,080 promise that I will ask the Father to give you another 193 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,520 comforter, another advocate, and that advocate, he's saying that 194 00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:00,320 it is the spirit of truth. We continue, the world cannot 195 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,000 accept Him because it's neither sees Him nor knows Him. 196 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,280 Praise the Lord, this spirit. We are talking about, this power 197 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,680 of the Holy Ghost. The earthly people or the world 198 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:16,200 cannot accept Him. The reason why they can't accept 199 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,080 him is because they don't know Him. 200 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,880 And because they don't know him, they can't accept him. 201 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,200 And so no wonder when we speak in tongues, people don't 202 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,000 understand. When we pray in the Holy Ghost, 203 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,840 they don't understand because they don't know the Spirit we 204 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400 have received. And because they don't know the 205 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,560 Spirit, they can't accept him. But thanks be to God that you 206 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,200 and I, we know him. Praise the Lord you and I, we 207 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,440 know this power of the Holy Ghost, and he's with us. 208 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,960 He's with us. But the challenge is that even 209 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,520 though we know the Holy Spirit, we've relegated his ministry. 210 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,000 We've not appreciated the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 211 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,360 Yes, we know the Holy Spirit, We've been born again, and many 212 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,160 of us speak in tongues. But then we tend not to 213 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,440 appreciate the ministry of the Holy Ghost. 214 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160 We've relegated the ministry of the Holy Ghost to the clergy. 215 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,120 Yejama sophomore. When it comes to the things of 216 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,640 God, the things of the Spirit, we've left it to the men of God. 217 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,440 Then the prophets. No, it's not supposed to be so. 218 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,520 The promise of the Spirit was given to all of us, and not just 219 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,320 the clergy. Are we together. 220 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,600 The promise of the Holy Spirit was given to you and I, every 221 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,920 believer. And so if you read Joel chapter 222 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,280 2, verse 28, Bible says that, and it shall come to pass 223 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,680 afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, upon 224 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360 everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. 225 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,240 The promise of the Spirit is for you. 226 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,040 And so tonight it is my prayer that we will appreciate this 227 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,800 person of the Holy Spirit. We will appreciate his presence 228 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,040 in our lives, then the ministry he carries, Amen. 229 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Praise the Lord so quickly. I want to talk about the 230 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,240 ministry of the Holy Spirit. There's the Holy Spirit with us. 231 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,240 What is his ministry? He, the roles he plays, there 232 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,680 are a lot of them, but essentially I'll talk about 233 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,920 four. I'll talk about four. 234 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:27,240 One is direction, 2 guidance, 3 is revelation, and the fourth 235 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960 one is empowerment. Praise the Lord and so quickly 236 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,440 we'll take them one by one. Then we go through, but I'll 237 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,680 take the first to direction and guidance. 238 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,680 So the Holy Spirit is given to us believers to direct and also 239 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,120 to guide us. Let me try and distinguish 240 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,320 between direction and guidance. So direction, focus on the 241 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,920 destination. OK, in case let's say you are 242 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200 going to the Akram mode and I want to direct you, the 243 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,800 direction is when you get to the Blazon St. you take your left, 244 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,600 you get to Manette, you use the Sprinters Rd. 245 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,480 So I'm directing you, OK, Your focus or the focus is the 246 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,640 destination. But when it comes to guidance, 247 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120 guidance is with you every step of the way. 248 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,600 Guidance focuses on the step by step how to get to AKA mall 249 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,040 direction. I've given you past year, past 250 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,680 year past year. But with guidance it is more 251 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,560 like OK, when you get to this junction, take care for this 252 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920 place is a free route and so you can speed. 253 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,160 But when you get to this junction, take care here is a 254 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,600 bit slippery. Do this, don't do this, do this, 255 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,280 don't do this. That is guidance to lead you to 256 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040 the destination. Are we together OK. 257 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,040 And so this is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to 258 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,920 direct and to guide us. Sometimes you may have, you 259 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760 will, you may receive an opportunity, then the Holy 260 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,240 Spirit will tell you, wait, this opportunity is OK. 261 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,120 It looks juicy, but this person has wickedness in his heart. 262 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,600 So don't accept this one. It is guidance from the Holy 263 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,800 Spirit. You may get an opportunity. 264 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,600 This one there, it doesn't look good. 265 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,360 The Holy Spirit will tell you that. 266 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Patronize this one in the next year or two. 267 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,600 It is going to survive. It is guidance from the Spirit, 268 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,360 our way together. Oh, praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 269 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:34,840 So Psalm 32, verse 8, Psalm 32, verse 8, the Lord says, I will 270 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,840 guide you along the best parts of your life. 271 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Listen, this is the word of the Lord to us if we are going to 272 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,040 appreciate the Holy Spirit and His ministry within us. 273 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,920 This is what the Bible is saying. 274 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560 I will guide you along the best parts for your life. 275 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,200 And this year, if we are going to appreciate the Holy Spirit, 276 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,840 then heed to His leadings. He's going to guide us through 277 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,120 the best, best parts of our lives. 278 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,480 And I will advise you and watch over you. 279 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,520 Praise the Lord. This is the ministry of the Holy 280 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,800 Spirit. He is given to us to direct our 281 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:16,319 path, to guide us through every step of the way, and also to 282 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,280 advise us. John chapter 16 verse stating. 283 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:29,320 John chapter 16 verse stating when the Spirit of truth comes, 284 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,200 we are still talking about the Holy Spirit. 285 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,640 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all 286 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,240 truth. So the Holy Spirit is also 287 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,320 called the Spirit of truth. He will guide you into all 288 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,520 truth. He will guide you into all 289 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,920 knowledge. Bible says that He will remind 290 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,200 us of the things of which Jesus Christ talked about. 291 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,960 Praise the Lord, He will not speak on His own, but He will 292 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,840 tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the 293 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,640 future. And so in this year, if you are 294 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,200 going to heed to the Holy Ghost, He is going to tell you about 295 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,000 the future. The year looks uncertain after 296 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,640 31st. I was on social media, there 297 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,400 were a whole lot of prophecies if you really followed them. 298 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,960 OK, this one saying this, this one saying that, this one saying 299 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,200 this. A whole lot of uncertainties 300 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,120 than anxiety. But the point is that like I 301 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:29,720 said, it is not by bite. If you are going to rely on the 302 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,040 Holy Spirit, He will guide you through the best part of your 303 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,040 life. He is going to advise you and He 304 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,520 will tell you about the future. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, 305 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,760 Amen. But the challenge is that 306 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,000 sometimes the leadings and the directions of the Holy Ghost is 307 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,640 not pleasant. Sometimes the Holy Spirit gives 308 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,040 you a directions or tell you to do something. 309 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,800 Then it is very difficult. And so Matthew chapter 4 verse 310 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:04,320 one Bible says that then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the 311 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,200 wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 312 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,040 Jesus was led by the Spirit from the city into the wilderness. 313 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,320 If you read Acts Bible says that Philip was also led by the 314 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,960 spirits into the desert. OK these people all left the 315 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840 comforts of or their comfort zones by the direction of the 316 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,680 Holy Spirit to go into the wilderness. 317 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,880 Acts chapter 16 verse 9 Bible says that Paul and Silas were 318 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,960 also directed these people own is quite interesting. 319 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,760 So Paul decides to go and preach the word of God in a certain 320 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,000 city. Then the Holy Spirit tells him 321 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,840 that no, this one don't go. Then he says OK let me go to 322 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,600 CCB. The Holy Spirit says no, don't 323 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,880 go. Then the Holy Spirit himself 324 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400 comes to tell him that go to Macedonia. 325 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,600 So the Holy Spirit has clearly instructed them to go to 326 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,400 Macedonia. They go to Macedonia, they are 327 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,120 preaching the gospel and what happens to them They are being 328 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,920 arrested, they are beaten. Then they are put into prison. 329 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,680 Sometimes the directions of the Holy Ghost is not pleasant. 330 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,480 It is a difficult thing to bear, but the good thing is that when 331 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,320 you are able to bear it, that is where the result is seen. 332 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,400 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. And so Paul and Sellers, when 333 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,120 they went to Macedonia, yes, they were beaten, they were in 334 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,240 prison. But then it brought about 335 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,040 salvation for the prisoner God and his whole household. 336 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,280 When Jesus was led into the world and his Bible says that he 337 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,600 returned back in the Spirit of the Lord, and news about him 338 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,560 spread everywhere. So even though sometimes the 339 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,600 leading of the Spirit is not pleasant, that is what is going 340 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,240 to produce the result. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 341 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,880 The third one, the third ministry of the Holy Spirit. 342 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,560 Revelation. Revelation. 343 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,760 So the Holy Spirit is the revealer of the Word. 344 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000 The Holy Spirit is the revealer of the word of God. 345 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,240 You see, if you take the Bible, then you decide to read the 346 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,880 Bible on your own. What the only thing you are 347 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,080 going to read? So the Bible is more like a 348 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,680 history book. You find history, you find 349 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,400 archaeology, you find literature, you find poetry. 350 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,200 OK, but even though it is true the Bible is a history book, 351 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,680 there is a bit of poetry inside, there is archaeology inside, 352 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,160 there is all those things inside. 353 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,320 Yes, still the Bible is the word of God. 354 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,160 It is the word the Bible says. It was used to create the whole 355 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640 world. And it is by this same word that 356 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,880 the world has been promised to an end, our way together. 357 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,200 And so to get deeper understanding into the Word of 358 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,200 God, you need the Holy Spirit. The Bible was never meant to be 359 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,360 read with intellect alone. No, if you take the Bible, then 360 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,000 you read with your intellects. The only thing you are going to 361 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,680 discover, like I said is history. 362 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,600 A certain people about 2000 years ago were doing this, were 363 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,480 doing that archaeology and all that. 364 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,120 But when the Spirit comes upon you, he reveals the word to you. 365 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,680 Amen. And so Paul understanding this 366 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,160 when he was praying to the people of Ephesians, let's read 367 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,280 Ephesians chapter one verse 17, then 18. 368 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,600 Paul was praying for the church in Ephesians and this was his 369 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,880 prayer. Ephesians chapter one verse 17. 370 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:39,280 I keep asking that God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious 371 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,840 Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation. 372 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,920 Why is Paul praying that God gives the church the spirit of 373 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,000 wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better, praise 374 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,560 the Lord so even to know God and appreciate him better. 375 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,320 To have a good relationship with the Lord, you need the Spirit. 376 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,320 You need the Spirit. The verse 18. 377 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,640 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in 378 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,120 order that you may know the hope to which he has called you. 379 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,120 OK, without the Holy Spirit you'll be in church. 380 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,120 Then every little doctrine will swear you away, every little 381 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:23,840 challenge. You'll be like, Charlie, me cram 382 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,920 my bread, let me go my somewhere because you wouldn't know the 383 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,680 hope to which you have been called to. 384 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,120 It is the Spirit that teaches us distance. 385 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,840 Praise the Lord. First Corinthians chapter 2, 386 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,240 verse 9 to 12. Let's quickly read that one. 387 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,440 First Corinthians chapter 2, verse 9 to 12. 388 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,160 However, as it is, as it is written, what no eye has seen, 389 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:58,320 what no ear has had, and what no human mind has conceived, the 390 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,360 things God has prepared for those who love him the best 391 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,880 thing. These are the things God has 392 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,640 revealed to us. So God has revealed to us by His 393 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:17,000 Spirit things that has no eye has seen, no ear has had, or 394 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,040 entered into the minds of people. 395 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,960 God has revealed these things to us by His Spirit. 396 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:28,040 OK, so revelation is by the Spirit of God, the Spirit, such 397 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720 as all things, even the deep things of God. 398 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,440 And so all forms of revelation being as prophetic being at the 399 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,920 word or any revelation you can think about, it is the Holy 400 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,720 Spirit that gives that revelation. 401 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,560 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, the Spirit, such as the deep things 402 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,920 of God, the best leaven. For who knows a person's 403 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,520 thoughts except their own spirit within them? 404 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Even as we are seated here, a lot of us have certain memories 405 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,560 and certain thoughts in our heads. 406 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,680 Some of some of us, we have certain memories that we wish 407 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,760 nobody would know. We want to take them to our 408 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440 grave. The only person who knows such 409 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,120 memories and such thoughts, it is your own spirit. 410 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,640 So Bible says that for who knows a person's thoughts accept their 411 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,720 own spirit within them. In the same way no one knows the 412 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,960 thought of God except the Spirit of God. 413 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,760 And so if you see any man telling or talking about the 414 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,600 things of God, telling you about the mind of God, he is not 415 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaking of his own accord. It is by the Spirit, praise the 416 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,560 Lord. In the same way, if you want to 417 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,440 know the thought of God for your life, for this year, for your 418 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,920 career, whatever you are doing, it is the Holy Spirit that is 419 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,560 going to teach you, because the Spirit searches the deep things 420 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,120 of God. Let's do the best to all. 421 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,920 What we have received is not the spirit of this world. 422 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,880 The power of the Holy Ghost that I'm talking about tonight is not 423 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,040 from this world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may 424 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,400 understand what God has freely given unto us, so that we may 425 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,800 understand what God has freely given unto us. 426 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,920 You see, when one becomes a believer, there are so many 427 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,320 blessings or opportunities God bestows upon the person. 428 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,400 And so Bible says that He has blessed us in Christ with all 429 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,280 spiritual blessings. OK, but without the Spirit you 430 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,400 will never know the things that God has freely given unto you. 431 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,720 And so Bible says that without knowledge my people perish. 432 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,720 It is the Holy Spirit that is going to give you this 433 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,280 knowledge. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. 434 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,320 Tonight it is my prayer that will appreciate the Holy Spirit 435 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,120 would appreciate his role in our life than the ministry he bears. 436 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:56,040 So the Holy Spirit also reveals the will of God to us, OK, If we 437 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,800 want to experience the power of God, the power of God is 438 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,600 demonstrated where the will of God is, OK? 439 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,040 So if you are praying about something and it is the will of 440 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,680 God, OK, the power of God is demonstrated because that is 441 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,360 what God will says, and it is the Holy Spirit that will tell 442 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:18,440 you about the will of God. I'll talk about the last one, 443 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,440 the last rule of the Holy Spirit. 444 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,360 That is empowerment. Empowerment. 445 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,480 So it is the Holy Spirit that gives people power. 446 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,360 When I started from the beginning, I mentioned a couple 447 00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:35,240 of people that did extraordinary things when the Holy Spirit came 448 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,240 upon them. The Holy Spirit is the custodian 449 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,360 and the administrator of the anointing. 450 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,040 OK, so Bible says that look at how God anointed Jesus Christ 451 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760 with the Holy Ghost and with power. 452 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,000 And after that empowerment Bible says that he went about doing 453 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,280 good. OK, if you need authority to do 454 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320 good, it is by the Spirit of God. 455 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,120 If you see someone laying hands on somebody, then the person 456 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,680 getting delivered, it is not by their own minds, it is by the 457 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,720 power of the Holy Spirit, Praise the Lord. 458 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,560 The Holy Spirit gives authority to men. 459 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,280 He gives authority to men. And so this year, even as we 460 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,640 wait on the Lord in this 14 days fasting and prayers, it is my 461 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 prayer that will appreciate this Holy Spirit we are talking 462 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,120 about. He's the custodian of power. 463 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,840 He's the one that is going to distinguish us from every other 464 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,960 person. He's the one that is going to 465 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,440 make our dreams come true. He's the one that is going to 466 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,320 produce unprecedented results in our life. 467 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,160 Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. And so I'll conclude by saying 468 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,800 that in this era, we did the Holy Ghost. 469 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,840 In this our era, we need the Holy Ghost. 470 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,640 We can't do without the Holy Ghost. 471 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,200 We can't do without the Holy Ghost. 472 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,360 We can't possess the nations without the Holy Ghost. 473 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,640 You can't influence your sphere without the Holy Ghost. 474 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,640 You can't achieve unprecedented results without the Holy Ghost. 475 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240 With our economy, if you say you are doing by your strength, you 476 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880 will feel OK. There is an interesting 477 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,240 scripture in Psalm. It says that it is unwise to 478 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,040 wake up early in the hour, work throughout the whole day, then 479 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,920 come and eat. It gives a certain bread. 480 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,760 Then he says that, but to his people does he love, he gives 481 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,200 rest. What the Scripture is trying to 482 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,320 say that with your own might you may wake up early in the 483 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,800 morning, at dawn, work the whole day. 484 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,440 You come back, you'll be tired, but then it will fetch you only 485 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,880 little. But to the people that God 486 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,440 laughs and they are pleasing to him, He gives them rest, He 487 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,400 gives them comfort. And those are the people that 488 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,320 heed to the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord tonight. 489 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,160 May the Lord bless us and may we appreciate the ministry of the 490 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,880 Holy Spirit in our lives. Amen. 491 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,840 Amen. So shall we. 492 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:11,000 Please be outstanding. We are going to pray with 493 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,440 listening to the Word of God. I began by saying that when the 494 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,480 power of the Most High comes upon a person, there is no limit 495 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,320 to the possibilities he or she can achieve. 496 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:30,120 The Spirit has come forever to abide. 497 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:42,680 I have Pentecost in mind. The spirit has come forever to 498 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,680 abide. I have pentacles in my. 499 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:58,400 I have pentacles in my soul. Yeah, I have pentacles in my 500 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:05,600 soul. Yeah, the spirit has come. 501 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:14,640 I'm forever to. Yeah, I have pentacles in. 502 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:22,280 The spirit has come, I'm forever to. 503 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:32,880 I have pentacles in. I have pentacles in my soul. 504 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:42,760 Hey, I have pentacles in my soul. 505 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,080 The spirit, the spirit has come forever to abide. 506 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:58,720 I have pentacles, Spirit has come forever. 507 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:08,720 Hey, I have plenty. Cause Mary asked the Angel. 508 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,040 How can this be? And the Angel responded. 509 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,480 The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most 510 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,960 High will over shadow you. Tonight we want to pray, but for 511 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,280 one thing, that the Holy Spirit should come upon us. 512 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,280 The power of the Most High should over shadow us. 513 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,840 Lift up your voice and bring. Lift up your voice and pray. 514 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,520 The Holy Spirit should come upon us. 515 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,840 We are. Praying for the Holy Ghost. 516 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,160 We are praying for the Holy Ghost. 517 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,560 We are praying for the Holy Ghost. 518 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:55,080 We are praying for the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus. 519 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,160 The presence of the Holy Spirit. The presence of the Holy Spirit 520 00:33:31,560 --> 00:34:26,440 in the name of Jesus test. Mini Mini Mini, Mini Mini, Mini, 521 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:52,400 Mini Mini. Yeah. 522 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,680 In the name of. Jesus, in the name of Jesus, 523 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,280 this year, if there is anything you want to pray for, it should 524 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,760 be the Holy Spirit. It should be the Holy Spirit. 525 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,560 I said that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, there is no 526 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,360 limit to possibilities. Whoever thought that a young man 527 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,960 going to look for his father's ship would then become the King 528 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,560 of Israel? So I was only a young man 529 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,640 looking for his father's ship. But by the Spirit of God, he 530 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,560 became the king of Israel. And Bible says that he even 531 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,280 thought he was one of the prophets because he was 532 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,000 prophesying. It was by the Spirit of God. 533 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,160 I've told you how Elijah was able to run past the Chariots of 534 00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:11,520 Ahab. It was by the Spirit of God. 535 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,920 People who have achieved unprecedented feats in the 536 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,920 Bible, they are all through the power of the Holy Spirit. 537 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,280 And so tonight we want to pray again. 538 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,480 We are praying for the power of the Holy Spirit, that the Holy 539 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,880 Spirit should over shadow us this year. 540 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,080 If there is anything you will it the most, it should be the Holy 541 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,120 Spirit. Open your mouth and pray. 542 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,080 Open your mouth and pray. We are praying that the Holy 543 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,920 Spirit will abide with us. The Holy Spirit will abide with 544 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,320 us. The Holy Spirit will abide with 545 00:36:41,320 --> 00:37:09,880 us in the name of Jesus.
