1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000 Welcome to the First Apostolic Church podcast. 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,960 Our church mission is to love as God loves showing compassion 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,440 every soul, thus winning those souls and equipping them to be 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,680 sent out to plant and to harvest. 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,000 Thank you for joining us today, and we hope that you are blessed 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,650 by today's podcast. Give him the praise. 7 00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,770 Good to be here today. Good to see each of you. 8 00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:29,850 Amen. This morning, the House of the 9 00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:31,290 Lord. We're going to be turned into 10 00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:35,840 Acts chapter #2 this morning. Acts chapter #2 Amen. 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,440 We've had spring conference this weekend up in Newcastle, and the 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,400 Lord's spirit was rich and God showed speaking about God 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,520 showing up and in all of his spirit. 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,840 We were just having what was called the informed talks on 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,880 Saturday, almost like a little 20 minute blurbs of informed 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,000 talks. And even during those, the 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Spirit of Lord just rushed into that place at a particular time. 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 So it doesn't matter the setting and it doesn't necessarily 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,840 matter the content, Amen. And God can show up anytime God 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,800 wants to show up, Amen. And so we got home last night 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,600 later in the afternoon and I came over here to the church to 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,440 pray and went home. I was kind of exhausted. 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,880 I laid down, went to sleep, got up at 1:00, did some studying 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,680 for about a couple hours, went back to bed. 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,280 It just just all kinds of messed up stuff. 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,120 And I told my wife as I woke up this morning, I must have just 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840 been dreaming about then coming to the church this morning and, 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,080 and ministering and stuff. And it was like I, I was 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,040 floundering around about what was going to be done and, and, 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,200 and my dad was saying now, son, don't worry about it. 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,400 Don't worry about it. I didn't realize you had all 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,320 this going on this weekend. And I, I take care of said no I. 33 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,280 Got it, I got it. It's OK. 34 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800 And I went to the pulpit and I said, let's turn to the book of 35 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,200 Genesis. So I don't know what's going on 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,120 today. I told you I was in Genesis 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,560 mode, but we're in the book of Acts. 38 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,080 Amen. You know as well as anything, 39 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,360 and I've said this many times, that I think that there are just 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,400 some things that must be mentioned, preached, taught 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,040 every year, every year in the church that we need to talk 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,680 about certain things. Like so far this year I've 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,240 already taught or preached along the lines of faith, all right, 44 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,000 or belief and grace and baptism. This morning I want to talk 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,200 about the gift of the Spirit today. 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,880 Amen. If we can, I think it's 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,240 important that we constantly talk about these type of things. 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,520 So go to a very, very familiar passage to many of Acts chapter 49 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,720 #2 and verses 37 and 38 as a, as purely a launching point. 50 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Amen. Here today, the Bible states 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,080 these words in verse #37. Now when they heard this, they 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,440 were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest 53 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,680 of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do? 54 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Then Peter said unto them, repent, be baptized everyone of 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,080 you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and 56 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,640 ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 57 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,760 Again today I want to talk about the gift of the Spirit and it's 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,520 called several different things and historically anytime I talk 59 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,200 about the Holy Ghost I'm long winded. 60 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,960 So I'm going to try to pick up my feet and put them down today 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,040 just because historically that's the way it goes. 62 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640 Amen. So, Lord, we come to you today. 63 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,480 We're thankful, Lord, for this opportunity to be here. 64 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,520 We're thankful, O Lord Jesus, today, God, that you're able to 65 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,200 renew, restore, refresh. Lord, in our lives, God, bring 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,080 Lord, and introduce something, Lord, to us. 67 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,600 Perhaps God, our ears have not heard. 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,040 I pray Jesus or Lord remind us God of this gift, Lord, that we 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360 have Lord been made partakers of and everyone or another. 70 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920 The sound of my voice can be I pray, O Lord Jesus, by the power 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,280 of your spirit today you're capable of doing it in Jesus 72 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,880 name. Everyone say Amen. 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,120 You may be. Seeing it this morning. 74 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,040 The gift of the Spirit or the gift of the Holy Ghost. 75 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,400 Not two separate entities or two separate things, but exactly the 76 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,560 same thing. As a matter of fact, in the 77 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Greek language which the New Testament was written in, there 78 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,880 is one word that both is translated ghost and spirit. 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,720 So you don't hurt my feelings if you want to call it the Holy 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,800 Spirit, Holy Ghost matters not. To me and the Greek it have been 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,760 the same word anyway. And so we're talking about one 82 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,800 and the same thing throughout Scripture. 83 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760 It's called several different things, or at least relayed to 84 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,040 as several different things. We're talking about the birth of 85 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,120 the Spirit in Scripture. It's called the gift of the 86 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Spirit. It's called receiving the 87 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000 Spirit. Other places in the epistles, 88 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320 it's called the baptism of the Spirit. 89 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,800 All these things are one and the same thing. 90 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,680 They are not individual different things, but they are 91 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,360 the same thing. Receiving the Holy Spirit 92 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,480 according to the word of the Lord is not a second or a third 93 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,440 blessing that come to you after conversion, as some would attest 94 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,160 to. This isn't separate from a 95 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,960 person's conversions. It's not from a person being 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,200 saved, but it is a crucial part of being born again, of the 97 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,120 water and of the of the Spirit is a crucial part of the new 98 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,840 birth experience. As a matter of fact, the Bible 99 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:18,560 tells us in the Epistles that the way into the body, or the 100 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,040 way into this thing called the body of Christ, is by baptism, 101 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,680 as many are baptized into Christ. 102 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Have put on Christ, but that's not just a water baptism but 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,680 also a Spirit baptism our way into the body is by baptism both 104 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,680 water and spirit into this this this thing called the body of 105 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,760 Christ. The Bible says have a lot of 106 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440 Bible today Amen. First Corinthians chapter 12 and 107 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,920 verse 13. For by 1 Spirit are we all 108 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,920 baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether 109 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,200 we be bond or free. In other words, it is the same 110 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:59,960 responsibility and plan for each and every individual regardless. 111 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,280 Jew, Gentile, bond free. Doesn't matter who you are, what 112 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,760 your age demographic is, what your socioeconomic status is, 113 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,120 what your race is. It is the same plan for all for 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,360 all. Have been made to drink, the 115 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Bible says, into one Spirit. And so baptism is is spirit. 116 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,280 Baptism is a theme here in First Corinthians chapter #12 it's 117 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:25,840 constantly dealing with the works of the Spirit, Amen. 118 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,880 And even delves over into other aspects of the Spirit. 119 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,240 So in order to be in the body, the one body, not a multiplicity 120 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,600 of bodies of Christ. But the one body of Christ, 121 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,000 Amen. To be In order to be in the body 122 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,640 of Christ, we must be baptized into it by this Spirit. 123 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,800 Amen. And that is what we're calling 124 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,600 the gift of the Spirit or the infilling. 125 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,960 Of the Holy. Ghost. 126 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,560 Amen. And to deny our our our need or 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,320 the essentiality of that would in essence to be denying our 128 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880 placement then in that one and only body. 129 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Amen that the scripture speaks of. 130 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,240 Christ has one body. He has one church as it's 131 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,800 described in the scripture. Other times it's spoken of as a 132 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 bride. He has one wife, one bride. 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,520 So to speak, one people, Amen. And labeled as they may be, they 134 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,640 are by 1 Spirit, placed in that, placed in the bride of Christ, 135 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080 placed in the church, if you will. 136 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,200 And so repentance and baptism alone, according to Scripture 137 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,200 alone, does not achieve our placement in the body in and of 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,120 themselves by themselves. It takes this trifecta of 139 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,320 repentance and and and and baptism and the infilling of the 140 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,680 Holy Ghost, and for that matter, faith and belief. 141 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,440 Have we even looked at in other verses of Scripture in previous 142 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Sundays? John chapter #3 and verse 3 A 143 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720 man called Nicodemus, who was a part of the Sanhedrin court, 144 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Amen. Of the Jews came to Jesus by 145 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,040 night. He had some questions. 146 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,600 He was inquisitive about this born again experience as it 147 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080 would come to be or seeing and enter into the Kingdom of 148 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,920 heaven. The Bible says in John 33, Jesus 149 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360 answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, 150 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,160 except a man be born again. We, we touched on this just a 151 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,680 little bit a few weeks ago, Speaking of Zion and the church 152 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,480 and how those were born of several different notable 153 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000 places. But to be born of Zion, they're 154 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,480 going to count. Those that have been born in 155 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,200 Zion, he says must be born again. 156 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,080 He cannot see the Kingdom of God, Nicodemus saith unto him. 157 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,640 How can a man be born when he is old, right? 158 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,880 He's thinking through the mindset of something very 159 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,039 natural. Can he enter the second time 160 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,720 into his mother's womb and be born? 161 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Valid question. Good question, Nicodemus. 162 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,280 And Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except 163 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,720 a man be born of water and of the Spirit. 164 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,120 And so Jesus is further defining what being born again entails. 165 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,080 He's elaborating on his phrase being born again and elaborating 166 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,040 that this is born of water and of spirit. 167 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080 He says he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. 168 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,960 Well, every single one of us, I believe it would be the desire 169 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,680 to enter into this Kingdom of God, to see heaven someday as, 170 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,480 as Jesus even referred to, you cannot even see the Kingdom of 171 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,560 heaven unless this happens. And so I, I want that. 172 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,360 I want to be a part of that and some some may ask, you know, 173 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200 have you accepted Christ in your heart that I know that's a very 174 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,040 popular question in our society today, but I believe the more 175 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,320 correct question is this have you been born again? 176 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Have you been born again because they born again Christian is 177 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,160 born according to the scriptures of water. 178 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,800 That's baptism that we have looked at at other times, 179 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,480 baptism by immersion in his name, Amen. 180 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,840 And his name is Jesus Christ or the Lord Jesus Christ. 181 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,120 And it is also being born of the Spirit, which is the the 182 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,680 receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost, which according to 183 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:07,200 Scripture, we understand has a instantaneous sign or a 184 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,280 revelation that that has taken place, which is speaking in 185 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,920 other tongues as the Spirit that you just receive gives the 186 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,320 utterance that's according to the word of God. 187 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,920 And we'll talk more about that later. 188 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,840 And so there is a a sense of repentance that is implied in 189 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Scripture anytime that it talks that we have been buried with 190 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,800 him and baptism. There is a there is an inference 191 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,000 or an implication that repentance has taken place 192 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,080 because again, print repentance Mears his death. 193 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,200 Baptism mirrors his burial. The infilling of the Holy Ghost 194 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,720 mirrors his resurrection. If you've been buried, then 195 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,920 you've died. So when we talk about that, it 196 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680 is implied that repentance has taken place. 197 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,200 If you're going to be baptized in his name, we don't baptize 198 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,600 anybody around here who has not repented, right? 199 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,760 Because we're going to baptize that which was dead. 200 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040 They didn't put Jesus in the ground while there was breast 201 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,960 still in his lungs. There was death. 202 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,080 There was the cruel, the the cruel and the the agony of his 203 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,240 flesh on the cross, Amen, that died. 204 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,080 And when we repent, our flesh dies, right? 205 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,200 We it's the mortification of the deeds of the flesh that happen, 206 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:27,240 Amen, through the aspect of repentance. 207 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,120 And so the Bible, whenever it talks about baptism and it's 208 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,920 this is laid out in the book of Acts and then reaffirmed in the 209 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,080 epistles, which were written to churches who were already saved 210 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,640 already Christian people. The Bible talks about baptism 211 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,640 that we are Speaking of baptized with the Holy Ghost or but the 212 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,680 Spirit that were baptized with the Holy Ghost or baptized by 213 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:54,040 the Holy Ghost or baptized in the Holy Ghost or baptized of 214 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,480 the Holy Ghost. All those different words, you 215 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,360 know change there, but it all basically means the exact same 216 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760 thing. We are baptized by the Spirit. 217 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,720 All these terms are used. We're talked about being 218 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,200 baptized with the Spirit, places are talked about being filled 219 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,680 with the Spirit, received the Spirit, the Spirit fell on them, 220 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,120 it came upon on them, it was poured out upon them. 221 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,680 This is all one and the same experience that we're talking 222 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,400 about today in the Scripture. Peter called the same 223 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,120 experience, but the gift of the Holy Ghost and the baptism of 224 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,640 the Holy Ghost Peter did in Acts Chapter 11 and verse 15. 225 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,080 The Bible states these words and as I began to speak, the Holy 226 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,360 Ghost fell on them as on us at the beginning. 227 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,920 He's referring back to Pentecost us at the beginning, verse 16. 228 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,840 Then remember to I the word of the Lord, how that he said John 229 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,400 indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the 230 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,040 Holy Ghost. Verse 17 for as much then as God 231 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,960 gave them the like gift as he did unto us again he's 232 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,160 referencing Pentecost who believed on the Lord Jesus 233 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,840 Christ. What was I that I could 234 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,840 withstand God. He's kind of going to bat here 235 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760 because the Holy Ghost had come upon the Gentiles just in the 236 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,920 exact same way that it fell on the Jews the way that the Jews 237 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,160 received the Holy Ghost and then with repentance and baptism in 238 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120 his name and speaking in tongues when they received it. 239 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,480 The Gentiles just like it happened the first time on the 240 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,600 day of Pentecost. It was happening to the Gentiles 241 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,200 now, those people who the Jews kind of snubbed a little bit, 242 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,200 all those are Gentile people, he said. 243 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,880 The exact same thing happened to them that happened to us. 244 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,840 They're just as much a part of the body and a part of the 245 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320 church now as we are part of the body in the church. 246 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,960 Because there's only one way to become a part of it. 247 00:13:54,200 --> 00:14:00,760 And they've experienced, they've experienced the exact same thing 248 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,760 as we did. Amen. 249 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000 Just like we did. Amen. 250 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,760 And so you know, then he he, he put the two together about the 251 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,840 Holy Ghost falling on them and speaking that John said, I, 252 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,040 there's going to come one after me and whose shoes I'm not 253 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160 unable to unlatch. Who will baptize you with the 254 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960 Holy Ghost, right. It's a baptism of the Holy 255 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,320 Ghost. It's a gift of the Holy Ghost. 256 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,560 So we know in Scripture, we know throughout Scripture. 257 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960 We know in in the book of Peter, we know from the book of 258 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,440 Leviticus. God said in the book of 259 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,960 Leviticus, be therefore holy, for I am holy. 260 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920 Peter picks up on that, quotes it in the New Testament in his 261 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,240 book and Peter and says, for the Lord said He is holy, therefore 262 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:47,720 be holy, and so our God is holy. We know according to John 424, 263 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Amen. That whenever Jesus met the 264 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,080 woman that was at the well of Samaria, Amen, He spoke to her 265 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520 and he said that God is a spirit. 266 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,200 They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in 267 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,320 truth. We know from both Old and New 268 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280 Testaments that God is holy. We know according to the New 269 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,040 Testament and other places that God is a spirit. 270 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,040 We know according to Ephesians 4, four, that there is one Lord, 271 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,160 1 faith, one baptism, that there is also one spirit. 272 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,840 When God and Father is above all in, on through you all, we know 273 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,480 there's one Spirit. So if we know God is holy and we 274 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,520 know God is spirit, and there's only one spirit, then we know 275 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,880 unequivocally this morning that the Holy Spirit is God. 276 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,320 We call it the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost. 277 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,040 It is God. And so when you receive the Holy 278 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,760 Ghost, when you receive that, you receive the spirit. 279 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,480 Spirit of God is in you. God is operating in your life. 280 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,360 He's came and made you his residence. 281 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,680 The reason why the book Corinthians says, know ye not 282 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,280 that ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost. 283 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,480 You have become a dwelling place of God here in the earth. 284 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520 Amen. The Bible says in first 285 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,960 Corinthians 3 and verse #17 If any man defile the temple of 286 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,000 God, speaking about these bodies, him shall God destroy. 287 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440 For the temple of God, which are these bodies is holy. 288 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,120 Which temple He states explicitly ye are. 289 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,280 Again, I've referred to this First Corinthians 6 and verse 290 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800 19. What know ye not that your body 291 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,880 is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have a 292 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,600 God and ye are not your own. We are again the temples of the 293 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,000 Holy Ghost. We've looked at this before, but 294 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,360 folks understand where the Tabernacle and the wilderness 295 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,960 that was created by Moses. The design was God's, the 296 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,160 information was God's, but whenever he finished the 297 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,600 Tabernacle, the Bible says that the cloud came in and filled the 298 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,160 house whenever Solomon made the temple. 299 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,160 Amen. For the presence and spirit of 300 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,920 God with all of its embellishments of gold and 301 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,440 silver, nothing like it. The Bible says on dedication day 302 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,600 when they put that of the covenant in its place, Amen. 303 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,760 And everything was said and done that again, a cloud of the 304 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,560 Spirit of the Lord filled the house. 305 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,359 That cloud was denoted as the presence in the Spirit of God 306 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,000 that was in His Tabernacle, that was in his temple. 307 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,480 In the New Testament. You become what the Old 308 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,640 Testament Tabernacle was. You become what the Old 309 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,079 Testament temple of Solomon was, and God's Spirit wants to dwell 310 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,840 in you, Amen. We're doing all right. 311 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Like the micro machine man up here right that dates me. 312 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,520 Peter lets us know that the promise the Holy Ghost is for 313 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,240 everyone. Someone say me. 314 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,360 He said in verse #37 that it's verse #30. 315 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,840 Nine rather that it's for you, it's for your children, all that 316 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,440 are far off, as many as God calls. 317 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600 That tells me then, that the Holy Ghost wasn't just for the 318 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,520 1st century church. Holy Ghost is just not for the 319 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,360 1st century church. And that also tells me that it 320 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:15,000 just wasn't for the. Jew, but even those that were 321 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600 afar off. If you read your Bibles in the 322 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,320 book of Ephesians, what it begins to describe as those that 323 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,920 were afar off were the Gentiles. They were far off. 324 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:28,880 The Jews are those that are spoken of being near, the Bible 325 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,880 says because of the blood of Christ Jesus, those who were 326 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,600 once afar off. He's made nigh. 327 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,880 Why? Because his blood and his work 328 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:45,640 of Calvary made his spirit accessible to each and every 329 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,560 individual, not just quote UN quote covenant people of Old 330 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Testament scripture, Jewish people made it accessible to 331 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,080 all. And so he bare me my night by 332 00:18:56,120 --> 00:19:00,120 the blood of Jesus Christ. And so the call today has been 333 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:03,400 extended. Amen To your children, your 334 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,400 children's children, those that are far off. 335 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,360 Can I tell you today the call has been extended to whosoever 336 00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,400 will. Whosoever will the Bible says in 337 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,760 John chapter #7 and verse 37, It's at the last day of the 338 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,400 feast. Jesus is standing there, and he 339 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,000 speaks and shares some words in the last day. 340 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,640 That great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 341 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:32,200 If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink, And he that 342 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,280 believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his 343 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,640 belly shall flow rivers of living water. 344 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,000 The parentheses gives us explanation in verse 39. 345 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,600 But this fake key of the Spirit, what that living water that 346 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,280 would come out of your life? He was talking about the Spirit. 347 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,120 He was talking about the Holy Ghost, which they that believe 348 00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:02,280 on him, on Jesus should receive. For the Holy Ghost was not yet 349 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,440 given because Jesus was not yet glorified, in other words. 350 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,240 There was no disbursement of the Holy Ghost up on mankind of it 351 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,640 living inside of them, because Christ had not yet here in the 352 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,440 book of John, He has not been yet crucified. 353 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,880 He's not went to the grave and he's not resurrected, but he's 354 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,760 speaking to the unprophetically of what shall happen. 355 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,800 Hey, man, he's saying if you're thirsty, you can come to me. 356 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,520 And after glorification, which was His death, burial, 357 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,920 resurrection, and ultimately ascension, after all that takes 358 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,280 place, you shall have a river of living water coming for from 359 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960 you, Amen. And it will be the power of the 360 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,320 Holy Ghost, Amen. But notice he says if you thirst 361 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,000 coming to me, that's the call Revelation 22 and verse 17. 362 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,280 The Bible says in the Spirit and the Bride say come and let him 363 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,240 that here say come and let him that is a thirst come again this 364 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,840 thirsty symbolism and whosoever will let him take of the water 365 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,800 of life freely. We're we're at the closing 366 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,680 chapter of the book of the Bible of the entirety of all this 367 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,640 explanation of revelation of the apocalypse and things that are 368 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,000 to come and yet to take place. And he saying the spirit, the 369 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,640 bride's making the invitation, the spirit and the bride is 370 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400 making it. The spirit is the church is 371 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,080 they're echoing it. There's invitation. 372 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,440 And the invitation is this. If you're thirsty for something 373 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,360 beyond what you've experienced thus far, if you are thirst, if 374 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,560 you've tried everything else and there's still a longing of a 375 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,080 thirst in your life, He says come, if you're thirsty, come. 376 00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,520 Whosoever will let him come. What is that? 377 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,640 That's a call and an invitation that doesn't just hit the Jew, 378 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,840 the Gentile, the Samaritan, that hits every woman, boy, girl, 379 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,560 national for be raised whosoever will let him come. 380 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,160 In other words, you have been invited. 381 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,480 You've been invited. The Holy Ghost was not given 382 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,120 until Jesus was glorified again, His death, burial, resurrection, 383 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:08,960 His ascension. The Bible says in Hebrews 9 and 384 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,720 verse #15 for this 'cause He is the mediator. 385 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,360 Of the New Testament Speaking of Christ Jesus that by. 386 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:21,080 Means of death. For the redemption of the 387 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,680 transgressions that were under the First Testament or First 388 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,360 covenant, they which are called might receive the promise of. 389 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:40,200 An eternal, eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there 390 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:45,960 must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 391 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,200 Verse 17 For a testament is a force after men are dead, 392 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,360 otherwise it is in no strength at all while the testator liveth 393 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,360 the testament or the covenant, the contract, if I could even 394 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:05,920 say it like this. The will, many of you sitting 395 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,800 here today may already have wheels and estates and things 396 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:15,840 that set in writing, but that holds no power until you die 397 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,560 upon death. Upon death, the will or the 398 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,440 words in the construct of the covenant comes into play. 399 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,640 Jesus made a promise, a covenant, a will with people, 400 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,640 but as long as the testator is alive, it has no impact. 401 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:48,880 He though died and upon his death the wheel comes into 402 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,000 force. Hallelujah when the the testator 403 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,400 dies. Here is the peculiar situation 404 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,520 concerning Jesus. He didn't stay dead, but he had 405 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920 to die in order for the enforcement. 406 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,520 He had to die in order for the enforcement of the contract, for 407 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040 the enforcement of the covenant, for the enforcement of the 408 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,480 Testament. He had to go through all of that 409 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,520 for the Holy Ghost Spirit. And filling would be possible 410 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:22,600 for hey, man, it's no, no effect unless the testator dies. 411 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,040 And he says if this happens, then the promise will be a 412 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,800 eternal inheritance that is sitting there in waiting just 413 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,200 for the testator to die. There's an eternal inheritance, 414 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,680 Amen, that will come to those that meet the qualifications of 415 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:50,080 the will someone say Amen. So the Holy Ghost, that promise 416 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,640 we see in Scripture was not given until Jesus was glorified. 417 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,720 And his glorification, all it followed, His humiliation. 418 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,960 Everything that he went through concerning the cross, Isaiah 419 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,840 talked about it that we read in Scripture in Acts chapter #8 I 420 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,720 believe it is whenever Philip goes, sees the eunuch and he's 421 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,440 reading in Scripture concerning Isaiah and he talks about in his 422 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,640 humiliation, Amen. Well, well, that's where it 423 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,080 reads in Scripture. But his humiliation was really a 424 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,480 glorification, Amen. For all those that would be 425 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,760 involved. The Bible says in John 14 and 426 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,640 verse 16, this is Jesus speaking. 427 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760 Jesus speaking, He says I will pray the Father that he shall 428 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:36,880 give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever. 429 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,120 Jesus as a man to it that God was in Christ, said Corinthians 430 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:50,080 5. But Jesus is both a human nature 431 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,680 and a divine nature, right? Human nature, divine nature, 432 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,720 human nature. He comes to the Samaritan woman, 433 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,400 the well. He's worried with his journey 434 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,720 and he's a thirst. Human nature, He's on the boat, 435 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,560 he's sleeping on a pillow. Human nature, he's hungered when 436 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,960 he's fasted 40 days, divine nature. 437 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,680 He steps to foot on the same boat and causes the wind and the 438 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,960 sea to cease. Divine nature. 439 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,480 He stands out of grave and says, Lazarus, come forth. 440 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,680 There's a human nature side to him, but there's also a divine 441 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,480 nature side to him. Jesus as a man in his humanity 442 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,440 had a prescribed number of years upon this thing we call earth. 443 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,080 He had his 33 1/2 or so years that He had upon this thing we 444 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,560 call earth. Hey man, but the Spirit, the 445 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:54,120 Spirit, God, Spirit of that man Christ Jesus, was eternal. 446 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,800 Hey man, there is no such thing. Read your Bible, look at it 447 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,800 through and through. There is no such thing as the 448 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Eternal Son, but there is such a thing as the Eternal Spirit 449 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,800 because the flesh human side of Jesus had a beginning in 450 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Bethlehems Manger as a human being, and it fell off of the 451 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,960 earth a man whenever it died and resurrected. 452 00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:24,560 But the spirit of that man does not have a beginning, nor does 453 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,080 it have an ending. When you are filled with the 454 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,240 baptism of the Holy Ghost, you are filled with a eternal 455 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,600 spirit. It cannot be extinguished 456 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,160 because it does not have a beginning and there is no ending 457 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,960 to it. It is power. 458 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:49,080 It is someone say Amen, Hallelujah, and so the aspect of 459 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,000 Jesus. Yeah, He was always in the mind 460 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,680 and the will of God from the very beginning that that would 461 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,520 be his purpose. That would be his plan upon this 462 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,320 earth in the sense of eternity. It was always in the thought 463 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,840 processes, Amen. And the plan of God that this 464 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,160 would happen from Bethlehem and this would happen at Calvary and 465 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,320 all of these things. But that's the only eternity of 466 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Jesus we have, not in bodily form, but in concept the bodily 467 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,200 form about 33 1/2 years upon the earth as you and I are. 468 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,400 Bible says John 14 verse 26. But the comforter says I should 469 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,840 give you another comforter that may Bible for you forever. 470 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,120 But the Comforter, which in it describes what this Comforter 471 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,760 is, which is the Holy Ghost, or the Holy Spirit, or the gift of 472 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,240 the Spirit, or the gift of God, you can throw all the other 473 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,560 things around there, whom the Father will send in my name, 474 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,840 which it did all right. He shall teach you all things, 475 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,040 and bring all things to your remembrance, and whatsoever have 476 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,600 and whatsoever I have said unto you, look at it again. 477 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Look into the Comforter John chapter 15 and verse 26. 478 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,040 But when the. Comforter, which we know is the 479 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,160 Holy Ghost according to the Scripture, is come whom I will 480 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,080 send unto you from the Father. Here's another another 481 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,840 description of it. Even the Spirit of truth. 482 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,800 So the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of truth. 483 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,840 The Holy Ghost is the Comforter which proceeded from the Father. 484 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,240 He shall testify important, someone say important. 485 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,680 He says the comforter, which we know to be the Holy Ghost 486 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,240 according to John chapter #14 the Spirit of truth. 487 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,840 He's telling us that when he sends that, that he, that spirit 488 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,080 of truth, that Holy Ghost shall testify. 489 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,520 He's going to be like something that's giving evidence and 490 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:51,320 utterance on the trial. The Spirit will testify. 491 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,480 The Spirit will produce evidence. 492 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:06,960 He says it shall testify of me. Someone say Amen. 493 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,640 It well, I'm just feeling like a circus inside right now. 494 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,400 I'm telling you right now, it's all five rings going. 495 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,320 It shall testify of me, folks, just what we're talking about. 496 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840 We'll talk about a little bit more later, but whenever you. 497 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,560 Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost whenever you receive the 498 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,960 Spirit of God, this comforter, this Holy Ghost that's being 499 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:38,480 spoken of here in John, it's going to testify and its first 500 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:45,040 testimony will be speaking in of their tongues as the Spirit 501 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:53,000 gives entrance it is producing evidence of. 502 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Him he said, It shall testify of me. 503 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,320 John 16 and verse 7. Nevertheless, I tell you the 504 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,560 truth, it is expedient for you that I go away. 505 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560 This is Jesus speaking for if I go not away. 506 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,280 The Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will 507 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:17,280 send him unto you. Now we understand Jesus Christ 508 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,040 is here in flesh and blood, right to it, to it, that God was 509 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,920 in Christ, that Spirit was in Christ. 510 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800 But Christ is going to die. He's going to resurrect and he's 511 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,280 going to ascend into the heavens. 512 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,440 But the Spirit of Christ or the Spirit of God, one and the same 513 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,920 would be sent back to His people on the day of Pentecost. 514 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,200 And that continues from Pentecost till now till He comes 515 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,680 back for His people. Now I know everybody wants to 516 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,360 bring up Luke 1. Everybody wants to bring up, you 517 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,600 know, the three different scenarios where the Bible speaks 518 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,640 that John the Baptist says, says that the John the Baptist from 519 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,760 his womb had the Holy Ghost, Sir, that Elizabeth upon the 520 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,000 salutation of Mary, that that Zacharias upon even the naming 521 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,680 of his Son, that these different things are all spoken as being 522 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,520 filled with the Holy Ghost in Scripture, in Luke chapter #1 523 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,160 John the Baptist again, Elizabeth at the salutation of 524 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,320 Mary Zacharias upon name of the Son have received the gift of 525 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,880 received or have been filled as the words, as the language 526 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,960 filled with the Holy Ghost again, what did John 7 tell us? 527 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,840 He says this. He spoke of the Holy Ghost but 528 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,000 had not been given because the Lord had not been crucified, so 529 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,320 that it couldn't take place until this had happened. 530 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,600 So being filled with the Holy Ghost in this instance of John 531 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,960 or Luke chapter #1 cannot be the same sense as we talk about 532 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,440 being filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost and the 533 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,880 subsequent verses and chapters that happened thereafter because 534 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,160 death, burial, resurrection has not taken place yet in Luke 1. 535 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760 If that was the case, there'd be a contradiction with John 536 00:32:54,760 --> 00:33:00,360 chapter #7 of what Jesus said himself in John chapter #16 but 537 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,280 they were filled in the sense that even people in the Old 538 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,960 Testament were moved upon by the Holy Ghost. 539 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,480 The Bible says that the Spirit moved upon Samson, and he did 540 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,200 some tremendous exploits. He wasn't, he wasn't embodied 541 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,000 with the Spirit, but the Spirit moved upon him and empowered him 542 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,920 to do some things. When you read in the book of 543 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,840 Ephesians that the Bible talks about being not drunk with wine, 544 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,880 wherein wherein is excess, but be filled with the spirit. 545 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,520 When you look up at that word and the same word that's used in 546 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,680 Luke, it means to be controlled. So you can be controlled by the 547 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,880 Spirit of God without being filled with the spirit of. 548 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,960 God, people of old were moved upon by the Spirit. 549 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,040 And so when we speak of John the Baptist and Elizabeth and 550 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040 Zacharias, all these haven't been filled. 551 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,120 The Holy Ghost before death, buried, resurrection, they were 552 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,200 being moved upon and controlled to a certain degree, Amen, by 553 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,040 the power of the Spirit. But after the death, burial and 554 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,600 resurrection of Jesus Christ in the, in the ascension, people 555 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,600 then that were filled by the Spirit were actually embodied by 556 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,800 the Spirit of the Lord and yes, still controlled by the Spirit 557 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,320 of the Lord. But it's in that that he wasn't 558 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,840 just with them, but he was in them. 559 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,639 He makes, he makes the distinction in John chapter 14 560 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,400 and verse #17 He says even the spirit of truth. 561 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,920 What do we know already? The spirit of truth is the 562 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,360 Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. 563 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:27,040 We're all talking about the same thing. 564 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,800 Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because 565 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,920 it seeth him not neither know of him, but ye know him, for he 566 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,000 dwelleth with you. How? 567 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,080 How is that Spirit dwelling with them by virtue of Jesus Christ 568 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,679 in flesh and blood, that the Spirit in dwelt, Huh. 569 00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:49,159 He's with them by that. But when Christ is away, how, 570 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:50,520 how in the world is this going to happen? 571 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,800 He says, for he dwelleth with you, but shall be in you. 572 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,760 All right, you're going to experience a mode of the spirit 573 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,520 during Jesus earthly ministry and before that is in a certain 574 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,240 category, but after the dead, burial, resurrection and 575 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:07,560 ascension and then you're going to experience it in a whole new 576 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,840 fashion and way. It's not just going to be with 577 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,520 you, outside of you, alongside of you. 578 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:18,400 No, no, no, no, it's going to be in someone say Amen in you and 579 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,680 it will if you will allow yourself to live in such a way, 580 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,360 it will abide for never for that Mary for that matter. 581 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,320 When are we talking about Mary and all this stuff? 582 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,080 Mary was in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. 583 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,160 Mary was in that seven day that or 10 day prayer meeting. 584 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,120 Amen. That was leading up to the 585 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,440 promise of the Father. Really. 586 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,920 You remember he told his disciples go tarry him to 587 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,120 Jerusalem, huh? You're going to be in due a 588 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,360 power from on high. I'm sending the promise of my 589 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,840 Father there, and Mary's found among that group that's sitting 590 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,560 up there on the day of Pentecost. 591 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,560 It would not have been necessary for Mary to been there had she 592 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,680 already experienced salvation. It would not have been important 593 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,160 for her to be there if she already experienced this. 594 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,840 But she couldn't experience it till her son died and was buried 595 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:14,160 and resurrected and ascended. Mary needed the Holy Ghost, some 596 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,480 of his own brothers. Yeah, all of them. 597 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,400 Who cares? I don't care if Jesus was your 598 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,160 relative or not. If you have not the spirit of 599 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,600 Christ, you're none of his. That's Romans 8. 600 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,960 That's blunt, but it's quite understandable. 601 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,160 The chapter 24 and verse 49 the Bible says Jesus speaking and 602 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,120 behold I send the promise. Look at this, this is again 603 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,160 prior to ascension. And behold, I send the promise 604 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,560 of my Father upon you, but carry in Jerusalem until you be endued 605 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,840 with. Power from on high look Acts one 606 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,800 and four, and being assembled together with them, commanded 607 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,880 them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the 608 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,720 promise of the Father. Again, other terminology. 609 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,760 Call it spirit of. True. 610 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,840 Call it the Holy Ghost, Call it Comforter, call it the promise 611 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,120 of the Father, All the same thing which he which which saith 612 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,360 he, ye have heard of me. Acts 2, verse 33. 613 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,320 I told you I had a thought. I said I had a lot. 614 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,640 I'm not lying, not a lying preacher today. 615 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,680 Amen. Verse 33 of Acts 2. 616 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,560 Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted, and having 617 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:23,120 received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He 618 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:29,320 has shed forth this the Holy Ghost, which ye now see and 619 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,680 hear. Get away here, because this is 620 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,640 Acts 233 all right, because we have Acts two and one. 621 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,920 Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as a relishing might 622 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,120 even win, and it fell, blown all the house where they were 623 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,400 sitting. And then you begin to speak in 624 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,520 other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 625 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,480 And that's when some are amazed and some are mocking. 626 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,400 And there's like this, this conflicting of emotion of 627 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,640 different people about what's being noised abroad from the 628 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,720 upper room. And it got, you know, the 629 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:00,080 attention of some. And some are saying, oh, they're 630 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,480 a bunch of drunks out there. And that's when Peter stands up, 631 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,960 said, no, they're not drunk as you suppose, being just but the 632 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,440 third hour of the day. But this is that which was 633 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,200 spoken by the prophet Joel in the last days. 634 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,200 I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons 635 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,800 and your daughters shall prophecy. 636 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,200 What is the prophecy? It's the testimony. 637 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,760 That the Spirit. Empowers. 638 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,160 So they're they're they're. Going to speak and so all of 639 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,120 this has taken place. So when we get to verse #33 he's 640 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,320 saying, hey, this is what's happened. 641 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,120 This is the Holy Ghost. This is the promise of the 642 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,760 Father. This is the Holy Ghost that's 643 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,480 taken place. He have he have shed forth the 644 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,840 Holy Ghost. Note now, though, which ye the 645 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,000 Holy Ghost, You, you, you, you. See that this Holy Ghost you now 646 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,760 see in it and hearing. This promise of the Father you 647 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:57,480 are now seen and hearing the new living translation says it like 648 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,080 this as he had. Promised gave him the Holy Ghost 649 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,360 to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. 650 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,160 God's word translation states it like this and has poured out the 651 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,560 Holy Spirit as the Father of promise. 652 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:17,160 And this is what you're seeing and hearing someone say Amen in 653 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,520 the book of John, as Jesus was talking about the comforter, the 654 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,440 Spirit of truth, the Holy Ghost, all these things that we know to 655 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,000 be the same. In that context of speaking 656 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,080 about the Holy Ghost, he said in John 1418, he said, I will not 657 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,800 leave you comfortless, I will come to you. 658 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,000 He was there for years in bodily form, but he said, I'm returning 659 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,080 to you in spirit form and I will be not just with you, but will 660 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:56,200 be in you. So God promises His Spirit to 661 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,080 all them who ask, believe and obey. 662 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,720 Luke 1113 says, How much more shall your heavenly Father give 663 00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,640 the Holy Spirit to them to ask of him? 664 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,040 This is said in the context of saying if, if, if your son would 665 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,240 ask for for bread, would you give him this? 666 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,240 Or would if he asked for this, would you give him that? 667 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,360 He said if, if a good father would give such gifts to his 668 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,240 children and not give him something totally contrary to 669 00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:23,240 what he asked, how much more shall your heavenly Father give 670 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,720 you some things? And so in that context, he says, 671 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,320 then how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy 672 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,600 Spirit to them that. Ask. 673 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,960 Him but then we also understand that there must believe John 739 674 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,240 that spoke to us, but this big key of the spirit which they 675 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:44,000 that believe on him should receive, but there is also a. 676 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,480 Facet of obedience in Acts 5 and verse 32. 677 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,160 The Bible says so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to 678 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:57,600 them that obey him, ask, believe, obedience. 679 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,600 His word and asking and believing and obeying 680 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,600 particularly the gospel of appropriating in our lives the 681 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,960 death and the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 682 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,680 In obedience to my opening text today of then Peter said unto 683 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,880 them, What must we do here? He says, this is what must be 684 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,440 done. And I say this all the time and 685 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,360 I'll say it till I die, but what you do with your repentance and 686 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,400 allowing someone to put you in water, the name of Jesus, all of 687 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,360 those things has no power or credit if Christ didn't do what 688 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,840 he did. So that just proves your work by 689 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,480 itself is incapable. It's His work that empowers your 690 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,680 obedience. It's his work that empowers your 691 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,520 obedience. Just as he admonished Nicodemus 692 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,040 the same about doing OK, we're on this pony. 693 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,760 Someone put it in a too many quarters and I'm just riding it. 694 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,640 This is important. Acts 8 and verse #9 not Acts but 695 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,200 Romans 8-9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. 696 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:18,800 If so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. 697 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,720 Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of 698 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,680 his. So then, brother McGee, how do I 699 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,360 know if I have the Spirit of God? 700 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,200 First John 3 verse 23 and 24 says these words. 701 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,920 First John. That's not just Saint John, but 702 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,120 first John three. And this is His commandment, 703 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,160 that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, 704 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680 and love one another as He gave us commandment. 705 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,560 Verse 24 And he that keepeth His commandments dwell in him, and 706 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,320 He in Him. And hereby we know that He 707 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,640 abideth in US. He's about ready to tell us. 708 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:04,120 Hereby we know that He abideth in us by the Spirit which He 709 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,600 hath given us. Because I know He abides in me 710 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,760 because of the Spirit that He has given me. 711 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,320 Ask you a question. How do you know the moment that 712 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:25,840 you've been given His Spirit? How do you know the moment that 713 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,800 he has given you the gift of his spirit or the Holy Ghost? 714 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,960 That is undeniable, unquestionable. 715 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,560 Why you say that, Brother McGee? Because I read a lot of books, 716 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,120 all right? I read about 50 books a year 717 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:47,320 easy OK of all type shades and things. 718 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,560 I read so many different books of different people sitting in 719 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,160 different atmospheres across the world that tell me. 720 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,560 They say that they were filled with the spirit and then in the 721 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,960 same sentence or paragraph they talk about all the doubts and 722 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,720 they're not really knowing if they were filled with the 723 00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,640 spirit. I have read it hundreds of 724 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,880 times. But the Bible doesn't want you 725 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,480 to leave. An experience of having been 726 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640 filled with the Spirit of God, with a question mark in your 727 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,200 mind. God's so very explicit in many 728 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,360 things he says. We know that he abideth in us by 729 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,600 the Spirit which he hath given us. 730 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,200 And there's got to be something. There's got to be something more 731 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,960 than just good moral deeds that manifest as time go on. 732 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,720 All right? I mean, in Acts chapter 19, the 733 00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:43,000 Bible records that Cornelius was a devout man. 734 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,880 He feared God. Scripture says he even offered 735 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:54,080 prayers. Yes, alms, my wife's going to 736 00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:04,160 get up here and take over here. But he still needed filled the 737 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:10,440 gift of the Spirit. He still needed it just like the 738 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,320 Jews had got it. That same like precious gift in 739 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:21,920 the same like precious way of Acts chapter #2 I'm not going 740 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,000 to, I'm not going to argue with you that whenever we start 741 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,320 seeing the gifts. Or rather, the fruits of the 742 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,600 spirit that Galatians 5 speaks up because those fruits. 743 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,200 Belong to the Spirit. I'm not going to qualm with you 744 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,280 that there won't be this, this noticeable Lovejoy, peace, 745 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,000 gentleness, goodness, so and so forth. 746 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,320 But the way I've learned in my life, those are things that you 747 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:49,360 mature into. There's a lot of there's a many 748 00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:51,920 a person that just in the moment, it's not like there's a 749 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,760 gentle act that happens as soon as they receive the spirit that 750 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,760 just gives indicate. And I'm not trying to be 751 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:02,600 condescending here, but there is a testimony as we've already 752 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,320 looked at. There is one. 753 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,440 There's a testifying that we have received him according to 754 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,880 scripture. There is a evidence. 755 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,880 It's that evidence that was born in the Scripture and was 756 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,120 repeated through the book of Acts. 757 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,560 When you see people receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, Amen. 758 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,320 Someone say glory. I'm checking time. 759 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,800 See, I told you folks, and I've been talking fast. 760 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,240 Acts two and four, I try not to skip much, but I'll skip a 761 00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,560 little. And they were filled. 762 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:38,880 They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. 763 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,320 Everybody say the Holy Ghost, and they were all filled with 764 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,320 the Holy Ghost. This is Pentecost and began to 765 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,000 speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. 766 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,840 What is happening there? They note that He abides in them 767 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,640 because the Spirit Spirit by which the Spirit he gave them 768 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,600 the Spirit testified. The Spirit testified in Acts 10. 769 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,120 The Jews knew that the Gentiles had received the Holy Ghost 770 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,520 Cornelius his household. The Bible says in verse 46 of 771 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:15,320 that chapter for they heard them speak with tongues and magnify 772 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,480 God again. Why do you think in? 773 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,880 Acts 230. Three, it says, Speaking of the 774 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,320 Holy Ghost that we do see in here. 775 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,880 What was it that they heard concerning the Holy Ghost? 776 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,680 What is it? The disciples of John and the 777 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,400 Ephesus of of Acts chapter #19 were re baptized. 778 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,880 The scripture says they'd only been baptized according to the 779 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,920 baptism of John, which was unto repentance only and they were 780 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,200 baptized The scripture says in Jesus name and it follows up in 781 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,520 verse six and says and they spake with tongues said have you 782 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,960 received the Holy Ghost since you you believed said we not we 783 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,440 didn't know there was such a Holy Ghost. 784 00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:55,480 Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? 785 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,440 So they believed, and even at the point of belief they hadn't 786 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,960 had the Holy Ghost. Because the question was, had 787 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,200 you received since ye built Saul's conversion? 788 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,640 Acts Chapter 9, he was also filled with the Holy Ghost, but 789 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,720 the scripture, it seems to be silent about him speaking in 790 00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:13,880 tongues. Also in Acts chapter #8 the 791 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,080 Samaritans received the Holy Ghost, but again, it seems to be 792 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,440 silent there about them speaking in tongues. 793 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,480 But it's later in the book of Corinthians, which Paul is the 794 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,040 author of, that he talks and speaks. 795 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,160 He says I speak in tongues more than y'all. 796 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,600 He says I do Amen. And something was signified, 797 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,720 evidently the Simon the Sorcerer in Acts chapter #8 concerning 798 00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:37,840 the Samaritans that received the Holy Ghost. 799 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,520 Because when the Samaritans received the Holy Ghost, you 800 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,960 know what Simon Says? He says, what can I give you to 801 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,000 purchase this, to buy this power? 802 00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:52,280 If it was just something that was just totally oblivious to 803 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,880 every anybody else and just that person knew, what was it that 804 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,800 Simon picked up on in the moment to want to buy it in order to be 805 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,560 able to transfer? That power, he thought. 806 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,920 I conveyed to you this morning by simple deduction that there 807 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:16,760 was a testimony and Simon's like, I want to be a part of 808 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,080 this. It's evident that the Samaritans 809 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,280 there in Acts didn't have the Holy Ghost prior to this moment 810 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,360 because the Bible says a couple of the disciples of Peter and 811 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:31,360 John were sent down. To pray for them that they might 812 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:37,040 receive the Holy Ghost listen and at this stage prior to 813 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,480 receiving the Holy Ghost they had joy they. 814 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,280 Experienced the sense of joy they had belief they've been 815 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,080 baptized, but they still needed the Spirit. 816 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,080 They still needed the Spirit. And so though tongues are not 817 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,320 mentioned in those two episodes of of Saul's conversion and the 818 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,120 Samaritans again, again, it's implicitly understood. 819 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,560 Paul said later, I speak in tongues more than ye all. 820 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,640 Amen. Because what is what, what what 821 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,760 what had been, what had been conveyed already with Pentecost 822 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,080 and all the other stories from Acts 2 till Acts 9 is the 823 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,960 process that people repent. They're baptized and they 824 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,720 receive the Holy Ghost. They've repent, they baptized 825 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,800 and receive the Holy Ghost. They repent, they baptized the 826 00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,720 Holy Ghost. The promise even is ye shall 827 00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:22,920 receive the gift, the Holy Ghost. 828 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,840 So you know what happens when you set up that type of 829 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,920 platform. You can read of repentance or 830 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,200 read of baptism and you know without doubt then you don't get 831 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,040 the Holy Ghost. They're going to be filled with 832 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,440 the Spirit of God. Amen. 833 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,720 Someone say Amen. So in Acts 19, it proves to us 834 00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:47,000 that the giving of the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues. 835 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,440 This whole little bit there was again not just a happening for 836 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,400 the Jews, the Gentile and the Samaritan people as well in Acts 837 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,080 chapter #8 that took place there, but even in Acts 19, here 838 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,680 are the people of Ephesus that are also receiving the gift of 839 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,120 the Holy Ghost. So this is not this again is not 840 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,960 a one time thing. This is repeatable. 841 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,720 This is repeatable. Amen. 842 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,000 Pastor David Bernard in his book The New Birth says tongues in 843 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,240 and of themselves do not save. Tongues in and of themselves do 844 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,320 not save. Nevertheless, the relationship 845 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,160 between Spirit baptism and tongues is similar to that of 846 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,400 faith and works. We're saved by faith, not works. 847 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,120 It works always accompany genuine faith and likewise 848 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,720 tongues cannot save us. But the Spirit baptism produces 849 00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:35,000 is an accompanied always by the sign of tongues. 850 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,280 Johnny James used to say this. You go get a pair of shoes. 851 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,960 He said you're going to go get the shoe. 852 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,360 You don't have to say can I have a pair of shoes and the tongue, 853 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,560 He says the tongue comes with the shoe. 854 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,800 He said unless you get a shoe without a tongue and that's 855 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,280 called a loafer. And that just means you're not 856 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:56,840 going. Tongues are not the Holy Ghost, 857 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,800 but tongues are the byproduct, the evidence of having the Holy 858 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,400 Ghost. The Spirit gives the utterance. 859 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,400 They could not utter that had they not the Spirit, Amen. 860 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,160 It happens and the Bible says this. 861 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,760 You can speak with tongues of angels or of men. 862 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,560 You may speak a language that's known in another place of this 863 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,480 world, or you may be speaking a language that is the tongues of 864 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,880 angels that is not even known upon this world. 865 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,120 But there have been too many accounts with friends and people 866 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,920 I rub shoulders with in other places, Amen. 867 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,280 That whenever someone receives the Holy Ghost, they went over, 868 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,120 somebody says, does that person know Hebrew? 869 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,400 Said they don't know Hebrew. He says, well, I'm a Hebrew 870 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,840 scholar said what are they saying glory to God bless. 871 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,440 It is the one Jesus Christ and this is being spoken in Hebrew 872 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,000 and this person don't know Hebrew. 873 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:42,960 What's the deal? Is that some phenomenon the 874 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,400 waters kind of yell off there No, that's Christ in you, the 875 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,800 hope of glory. That's the Spirit hereby do I 876 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,880 know that He abides in me because of the spirit that I 877 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,440 receive. It's going to testify. 878 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,680 Amen. Spirit gives the evidence. 879 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,480 Jesus said in John that the spirit of truth being the 880 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,600 Comforter or the Holy Ghost would testify, give evidence. 881 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,840 Jesus told Nicodemus, he says, here's what I know, Nicodemus, 882 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,720 the wind, blow it where it listeth. 883 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:11,840 And thou hearest the sound there. 884 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,680 Thou hearest the sound. Thou hearest the sound. 885 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,480 Thereof, so is everybody, say everyone. 886 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,480 He did not say just the Jews or the Gentiles or just that person 887 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,400 or this person or that. He said everyone. 888 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,800 So is everyone that is born of the Spirit. 889 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,800 If they've been born in the Spirit, they received the Holy 890 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,280 Ghost. If they have the Spirit of God, 891 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,920 this is what happens. It's a wind, winds blowing. 892 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,320 I don't see the wind. I see the effects of the wind. 893 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,120 I can hear the sound of the wind. 894 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,240 He says so is everyone that is born in the Spirit. 895 00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:43,680 When you receive the gift the Holy Ghost, there will be a 896 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,640 sound. It'll be that testimony. 897 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,960 Furthermore, Paul in writing to the church at Rome said Romans 898 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,880 816 I know your stand brother makes it out on what I'm doing, 899 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,160 but we're doing it. Amen. 900 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,080 The Spirit, the Holy Ghost itself beareth witness the 901 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,840 spirit it says itself beareth witness with our spirit. 902 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,280 This is important verse that we are the children of God. 903 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:12,440 How do I know? Because the spirit capital S 904 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:19,440 bears witness with our spirit, little S human spirit that we 905 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,560 are the children of God. Working in tandem is his spirit 906 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,160 with our spirit. Working in tandem is his spirit 907 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,760 with our spirit. His spirit bears witness 908 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:35,000 testimony. He uses my mouth, my tongue, but 909 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,760 his spirit will give the utterance. 910 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,680 He'll use he, he's going to use the appendages of Paul McGee, 911 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,800 these, these members of my mouth. 912 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,400 James said. That tongue which no man can 913 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,040 tame, it's set on fire of hell. No one can tame it. 914 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,240 You can put bridles on horses and put a rudder on a ship, but 915 00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:01,000 no one can tame this tongue. But whenever God fills you with 916 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,840 His Spirit, it indicates full control of Him and your full 917 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:10,880 surrender that He could take that member no man contain and 918 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,960 have you speak something. You've never learned. 919 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,040 Everybody doing OK? I mean, should I just go real 920 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,480 long right now and we'll just cancel tonight? 921 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,640 What what are we looking at here? 922 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,760 I'm just wondering where we Amen. 923 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,680 So that Holy Ghost itself bears bears witness. 924 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:39,240 It testifies jointly. It corroborates by concurrent 925 00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:45,480 evidence that with our human spirit that we are the children 926 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,320 of God. So I know that he abides in me, 927 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,200 and that I am a child of God, having been adopted by that one 928 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,440 spirit according to Scripture, the spirit of adoption, because 929 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,240 his spirit dwells in me. And I know it dwells in me 930 00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:04,200 because that spirit I received testifies and gives evidence and 931 00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:08,120 utterance by working in conjunction with this human 932 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:13,480 spirit that I have using my brain, my mouth, my tongue, my 933 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:19,000 voice box, my lips, but speaking in tongues, a product then of 934 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,960 His spirit. Stand for me today and I'll 935 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,600 close. Historically, I have went long 936 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,800 talking about the Holy Ghost and it shall ever be. 937 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,280 We know the Bible says that we have been sealed with that Holy 938 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,600 Spirit of promise according to Ephesians, and that that is the 939 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,120 earnest of our inheritance. What the Bible says, we know 940 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,160 we've been sealed with the Holy Ghost and that holy when you 941 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,440 receive the Holy Ghost, so that's the earnest of your 942 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,120 inheritance. How many ever put down earnest 943 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,600 money on a house, right? It's like that good faith 944 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,320 payment that there's more to come. 945 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,160 The Holy Ghost is just the indication that this is just the 946 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:06,520 tip of the iceberg. There is a inheritance, Amen, 947 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,520 that is to come that even surpasses what you experience 948 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,440 right now in this earthly dwelling. 949 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,400 It's just, if I could say it like this, just a little piece 950 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,720 of heaven. Huh. 951 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,560 If the Bible speaks of it being the unspeakable gift or the 952 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:28,280 indescribable gift, it says it is joy, unspeakable and full of 953 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,880 glory. And that spirit that we receive, 954 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,840 the scripture says, gives us power to witness about what? 955 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,400 How what Christ did for me, he can do for you what he brought 956 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,960 me out of He can bring you out of the same or even something 957 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,280 even better. It empowers us. 958 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,720 Amen. To mortify the deeds of our 959 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,680 flesh. It was given to us for that 960 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,160 purpose and that plan it supplies. 961 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,800 That spirit that you receive supplies resurrection power in 962 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,760 your life. That same spirit that raised 963 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,360 Christ from the dead, If it dwell in you, it will quicken 964 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:09,960 your mortal body, and it can change this mortal to 965 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,320 immortality, this corruptible to incorruptible. 966 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,840 Amen. We want the Spirit on Rapture 967 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:20,080 day, the gift of the Holy Ghost. It will cause that change. 968 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:31,880 And for that matter, say what you will, I have been. 969 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,720 God has blessed me to serve in the capacity to preach across 970 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:41,320 this nation, and every episode when someone's received the gift 971 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,360 of the Holy Ghost, I've heard them speak in tongues. 972 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:51,640 A reoccurrence of Pentecost. I mean, from children to middle 973 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:58,040 age to elders, from from Virginia to California to 974 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:04,680 Hawaii, it's still happening. It's still taking place. 975 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,360 I've seen it take place for the Polynesian people. 976 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,920 Over and there in Hawaii, I've seen it take place for the 977 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,720 Spanish people. For the Caucasian. 978 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:27,640 Born of 1 spirit into one body. The gift of the Spirit. 979 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,800 And if you don't have the gift of the Holy Ghost today, it's 980 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,000 for you. It's for you, absolutely. 981 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,680 I know sometimes within ourselves we might struggle with 982 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,360 insufficiencies in our own mind why we are not deserving of 983 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,120 that. That's not for you to decide. 984 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,120 That was for him to decide and he's already made his choice. 985 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,200 It's for you. He's already made his choice. 986 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,280 You don't have this application you fill out and all the 987 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,160 qualifiers. No, he's already made the 988 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,960 choice. It's for you. 989 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,120 You don't have to start. You don't have to start. 990 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,800 Well, This is why. No, it can't, not for me. 991 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,760 You don't need that. It's already been the decision 992 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,640 has been made. It's for you. 993 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,080 If you've never repented of your sins, I implore you to repent. 994 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:20,320 I implore you to do that about face that turning around from 995 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,920 what you've known to you know, we walk most of our lives. 996 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,760 We're born in this Adamic nature of sin and we walk these lives 997 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,200 really with our back to God. But when we repeat, we turn 998 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,280 toward him and turn our back then on everything else, the 999 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,360 world. It is that change of mind, that 1000 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,720 change of behavior. If you've never been baptized 1001 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,280 this morning we got God. We'll baptize you. 1002 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,840 We will immerse you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the 1003 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,640 remission of your sins, repentance, and. 1004 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,960 And baptism do that, and ye. Shall receive the gift of the 1005 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:54,240 Holy Ghost some people We've had people receive the Holy Ghost 1006 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,560 before they were ever. Baptized. 1007 01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,280 Sister Kathy Coates, we took her up her, I took her up there one 1008 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,720 Sunday to get baptized and she's stumbling around in the water 1009 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,840 and hands are raised and she started speaking in tongues 1010 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,360 before we baptized her. I've seen other people get it, 1011 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,720 the Holy Ghost coming up out of the water and then we have like 1012 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,880 some of the Ravens and stuff. But the Adams family got the 1013 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:18,120 Holy Ghost at home. It's for you. 1014 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,200 It's never too late. We was preaching in Knoxville, 1015 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:28,320 TN a few years ago on a it was a New Year's Eve service and the 1016 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,640 lady there that moment they were doing broadcast. 1017 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,080 I did the broadcast that morning. 1018 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,080 It was usually about 15 minutes. This sermon wouldn't fit in 1019 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,120 there. We'd have to shave it down big 1020 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,880 time. So I preached about 15 minutes. 1021 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,080 We had an altar called and there was a lady that had been without 1022 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,880 the Holy Ghost for some 40 some odd years. 1023 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,800 She received the Holy Ghost that morning. 1024 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,680 It can happen. And I know there might be stuff 1025 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,320 here and here and maybe sometimes the clouds and blocks 1026 01:01:55,320 --> 01:02:00,440 waves and but if you just surrendered that all with 1027 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:05,240 abandoned. He wants it's it's not he's not 1028 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:06,760 trying to be. He's not being choosy. 1029 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,240 He wants you to have it. Whosoever will, it'll be that 1030 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,080 river of living water. And we live on this side of 1031 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,760 Calvary. So we're not waiting. 1032 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,600 It's available. It's not a promise that he's 1033 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaking of that shall come. It's Cain. 1034 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:27,960 Can we lift our hands in this place? 1035 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,600 These altars are open if anybody desires to pray. 1036 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:35,600 I feel, I feel his spirit here today. 1037 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:53,280 Oh Jesus, oh God, oh Jesus, not by power nor by might, but by 1038 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,840 your spirit, saith the Lord, by your spirit saith the Lord. 1039 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,960 Hallelujah. Say, Brother McGee, I just don't 1040 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,400 know about everything you said this morning. 1041 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,840 That's OK. And I know I was going quick. 1042 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,320 Listen to it again and again, pause if you will, the podcast 1043 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,320 and go to the Scriptures that I mentioned. 1044 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,880 There are several there mentioned and those are just 1045 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,320 really samplings. There's so much more even than 1046 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,240 those. But go back, open your Bible, 1047 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,720 look, look, cross, cross back and forth and let Scripture 1048 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,720 interpret Scripture and see for yourself today. 1049 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,160 Listen, I'm not up here condemning anybody this morning. 1050 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,720 I hope you didn't take me as that. 1051 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,160 I'm not here at condemning, but I'm just here showing you what 1052 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:37,160 the Scripture says, what the Scripture says about being born 1053 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,600 in the water and specifically today, the gift of the Spirit. 1054 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,640 Hallelujah, Jesus, Whosoever will. 1055 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,400 Are you thirsty?
