1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,480 Good morning, good morning. I I can't tell you how much I've 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,960 been looking. Forward to being here with you 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,600 this morning and as my computer boots up I'm going to get a sip 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,520 of water real quick. To kind of ducktail on what, 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,040 John? Michael was talking about 6 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,920 unplugging. I work at the federal courthouse 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,560 in downtown Richmond and I work with a bunch of retired cops and 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,720 that in itself is an adventure every day. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,760 Sorry I am having an issue here so I am. 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,240 That's what I'm saying. I'm I'm semi retired. 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,240 It's always entertaining with the group I work with and if you 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,520 ever want an opinion on anything, ask a cop or a 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,560 retirement. Amen. 14 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,200 But I'm I am excited to be here this. 15 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,560 Morning and. I'm particularly excited when I 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,960 look out and see all the, all the faces and it's more faces 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,599 and more faces and it's exciting. 18 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:09,000 And I, I told, I told my wife, I said if I live nearby. 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,360 I would be in this church. Because you you have something 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,280 that you don't see. In a lot of churches. 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880 Today and you can feel and see the. 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,760 Love that the body has for one another and. 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,240 That may. Sound. 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,400 Well, that's not really odd that odd. 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,800 In this world, it really is don't lose this because you're 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,640 going to grow and you already are and you're not going to 27 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400 always be in this building, but don't lose the love. 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,800 How how does? How does the word say will will 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,520 know by the? Love they have one. 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,520 For the other and don't ever lose that that it's it's. 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,320 Critical it is so. Critical. 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,160 That's good. Today I'm going to be talking 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,000 about a topic. That in in some. 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Circles is controversial. But it really shouldn't be. 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,520 And the title of my message, and I encourage you this morning if 36 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,560 you're not a. Note taker. 37 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,080 I'm going to encourage you to take notes. 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,120 You can do it on your phone. You can. 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000 Follow along like that. Or you can do the old scribe 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,360 thing. Either way it's fine. 41 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,920 But the this this message, I believe is one of the most 42 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,960 important messages that the body of Christ or pastors. 43 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,280 I just say across the. World have ignored. 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,960 And I think it's it's high time that we get back to what the 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 word actually says. And the title. 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,560 Of my message is, have you received since you believed? 47 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:38,640 And I'm trying to get my cursor right on that arrow. 48 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,680 And now if you're taking notes, Acts 19, we're going to read 49 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,680 verses one through 7. And it happened that while 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320 Apollo's was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland 51 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,440 country. And came to Ephesus. 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,880 He found some disciples and he said to to them, did you receive 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880 the Holy Spirit when you believed? 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,400 And they said, No, we have not heard that there even heard that 55 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,200 there is a Holy Spirit. And then he said, into what then 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,880 were you baptized? And they said unto John's 57 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,080 baptism, And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160 repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,280 come after him, that is Jesus. And on hearing this, they were 60 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040 baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 61 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,560 Amen. And I'm sorry, my computer. 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,080 Just with you this morning wants to jump around. 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:43,520 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on 64 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,840 them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,520 And there were 12. Men in all and as I said at the 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,400 out at the beginning of the message, I believe this is a 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,880 message and I remember years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this and I 68 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,560 can't. I couldn't agree with anymore. 69 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480 This is a message. The baptism in the Holy Ghost is 70 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,320 a message that Satan fights more than any message in the word 71 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,839 other than salvation. That's right. 72 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,279 And I and I and I, I, I wholeheartedly agree because he 73 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,720 knows that once somebody is still with the Holy Ghost, they 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,360 are empowered. They are empowered to be a 75 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,800 witness. And I said be a witness, not act 76 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,960 a fool, because we've all seen things in churches that you're 77 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,880 like. Oh my gosh. 78 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,480 What are they doing? We're talking about the 79 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,120 infilling of the Holy Ghost. And when I say the baptism in 80 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,360 the Holy Ghost and I've told people at our church, I've said 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,920 you're not seeking tongues, you're seeking the infilling of 82 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,400 God himself to overflowing in you. 83 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,440 Perhaps sometimes in your life you were in the church service. 84 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,680 And I can identify with this because I was I had an uncle who 85 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,640 was at Church of God, Cleveland, TN pastor. 86 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,960 If you anybody's been in the church. 87 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,320 Of God, you know what I'm talking about. 88 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,480 And then I was a little kid, probably Hudson's age, and I saw 89 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,520 people doing things in church and it was just pandemonium. 90 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,320 And I'm like, Lord if. I'm sitting like, where's where? 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000 My wife is now if you Get Me Out of this service, I will never go 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,800 back to a service like this. But little did I know that 93 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,240 people can have a real experience with God and then the 94 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,320 display of what God did in them is just totally flesh. 95 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:54,480 It doesn't need to be that way. Each person though might respond 96 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 to the spirit differently. Some might be excited. 97 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,720 I I really think it depends on how how deep in sin they were. 98 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,360 I think the I think the more you were in sin, the more you're 99 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,080 going to be full bore towards the Lord. 100 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,840 That's just what I've seen in life. 101 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,120 Jesus and then others are receive and it's very quiet and 102 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,400 there's no right or wrong wrong answer to that, but it should be 103 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,320 and we're going to get into this in the word. 104 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,600 It should be to build the church when when there's a when you're 105 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,720 filled overflowing. Jesus said in Acts 1/4 he 106 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,720 ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the 107 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,120 promise of the Father, which he said, you've heard of me, John 108 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,280 baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy 109 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,600 Spirit not many days from now. Now if you go over to add to 1st 110 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,040 Corinthians 15, Paul is taught his writing here to the 111 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200 Corinthian church. In verses 4 through 7 he says to 112 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaking of Jesus that he was buried, that he was raised on 113 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,520 the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he 114 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,760 appeared on the Cephas, then the to the 12. 115 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Then he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most 116 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280 of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep, some of 117 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,560 them had died. Then he appeared to James and to 118 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,920 all the apostles. And then Acts 115 Peter stood up 119 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,040 in, in, in, in the midst of the brethren, in the company of 120 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,400 persons. Is there selecting somebody to 121 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,160 replace Judas? And then and they obey the Lord. 122 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520 And then Acts 2. When the day of Pentecost 123 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000 arrived, they were all in one place. 124 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040 And suddenly there came from heaven like the sound of a 125 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,640 rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were 126 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,280 sitting. And they they were seated now 127 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,880 and they were all everybody say all filled with the Holy Spirit 128 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,560 and began to speak in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. 129 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,960 I just want you to think about this. 130 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:05,320 Jesus was seen by over 500 other people besides the 1:20 or only 131 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,040 120 showed up and stayed in Jerusalem like he said to do. 132 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,960 Now, I am not by any means a. Math major when you put letters 133 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,920 and in. Front of numbers, I just go 134 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400 bonkers, but I can do simple math. 135 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Yeah, that's about 23 to 24% of the of the believers of that day 136 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,760 obey the Lord and stayed in Jerusalem. 137 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,880 And since then today it's estimated that the in the world 138 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,880 today 27% of believers characterize themselves as 139 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720 spirit filled charismatic or Pentecostal. 140 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,880 So we've gained about 3% in 2000 years. 141 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,560 I say we're not doing too well because I don't think that's 142 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,040 what God wanted because the promise point number one is to 143 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,160 all disciples. In Acts 2 to Acts 10, 144 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,200 approximately 7 to 10 years have passed and Peter is at 145 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,920 Cornelius's house. Well before he gets there, he 146 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,720 sees a vision and unclean, what he consider unclean food was 147 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,640 dropped down and God said Peter rise, kill and eat. 148 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,600 He said, no, this isn't kosher, never had anything not kosher 149 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,840 and I can't do that. It's unclean. 150 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,600 And God said, What don't you call what I call? 151 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Clean. Unclean. 152 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,080 And, and, and then the men come and say an Angel came to 153 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,600 Cornelius and he's waiting to hear words from you. 154 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800 You need to come to his house. And in Acts 1044. 155 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,840 And this is 7 to 10 years after Pentecost. 156 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,240 And, and the reason I'm saying this is I'm building a timeline 157 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,000 so we understand that the Holy Ghost didn't stop on the day of 158 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Pentecost. It wasn't just for those early 159 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240 disciples only. It's for everyone. 160 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:57,720 Hallelujah and those that were the circumcision were were 161 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,960 amazed because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even 162 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520 on the Gentiles. How do how do they know they 163 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760 were poured out? Verse 46 for they heard them 164 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,880 speaking in tongues and extolling God. 165 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Hallelujah that excites me. How did they know the gift was 166 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,640 poured out? They heard them speaking in 167 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,360 tongues just like they did on the day of Pentecost. 168 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,120 Now we're going to Fast forward a few more years to to from Acts 169 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,880 2 to Acts 19 at Ephesus, which was our, our, our text. 22 to 27 170 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,880 years had passed. Now the Spirit baptism wasn't 171 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,760 just limited to the early followers of Jesus. 172 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:44,440 Paul was preaching at Ephesus. They were baptized and he said 173 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,200 they baptized the name of Lord Jesus. 174 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,880 And then Paul laid his hands on them and they began speaking in 175 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,640 tongues, 12 men and all. So the argument or an argument 176 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:02,760 is made today. Well, if this is true, why don't 177 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,600 why ain't everybody speaking in tongues? 178 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,560 Well, let me ask you this. Does everybody get saved when 179 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:15,360 they hear the gospel? No, no, some people don't have 180 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,360 faith to believe for it. The enemy has confused the 181 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,200 church for for for I'm sure thousands of years now. 182 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,800 Some quote First Corinthians 12/28 is proof that this isn't 183 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,880 for today and God has. Appointed in the church. 184 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,520 First apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, 185 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,160 then gifts of healing, helping, administrating in various kinds 186 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,960 of tongues. Verse 29 are all are all 187 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600 apostles, Are all prophets? Do all work miracles? 188 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Do all possess gifts? Gifts of healing, not gift of 189 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,320 healing, gifts of healing. Do all speak with tongues? 190 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,120 Do all interpret, interpret. And every one of these questions 191 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,080 begs a negative answer? No, they do not. 192 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:02,440 But if you keep it within the context of the word, Paul was 193 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,040 talking about church order. He wasn't talking about your 194 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,600 private prayer life. He was talking about in church 195 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,800 and he goes on to say if there's a message in tongues, it should 196 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,440 be by two or three and there should be an interpreter. 197 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,920 If there's no interpreter, he should be silent in the church 198 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:25,920 unless he's prophesied because the whole point of it is to 199 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,840 build up the body. Hallelujah. 200 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,080 And then they quote First Corinthians 1419. 201 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,840 I'd rather speak 5 words in my mind in other order to instruct 202 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,760 others than 10,000 words in a tongue. 203 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,720 My second point is this promise includes 2 baptisms. 204 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,720 Acts 15. Jesus said John baptized with 205 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,640 water, but you're going to be baptized with the Holy Spirit 206 00:12:52,640 --> 00:13:00,880 not many days from from from. Hence the Holy Spirit baptizes 207 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,240 us into the body of Christ. Didn't Jesus say unless the 208 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:14,600 Spirit draws, you can't come in? First Corinthians 12134 In one 209 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,560 spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews and Greeks, slave 210 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:22,000 and free. Aren't you glad you're not a 211 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,960 slave? And all were made to drink of 1 212 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040 spirit, drinking of that one spirit. 213 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,120 But Jesus is the baptized in the Holy Ghost in John 133. 214 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,040 John the Baptist said, I myself did not know him, but he who 215 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,440 sent me to baptize with water, said, he on whom you see the 216 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Spirit descend and remain, it is he who baptizes with the Holy 217 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,600 Spirit. And I have seen and borne 218 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,480 witness that this is the Son of God. 219 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,320 So he identified Christ as a baptizer in the Holy Ghost right 220 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,440 there. Salvation, my friends, is God's 221 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520 gift to the world. For God so loved the world that 222 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:07,280 he, He is only begotten, that whosoever believes in Him but 223 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,840 have eternal life. But the baptism in the Holy 224 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Ghost is God's gift to the church. 225 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,200 The world cannot receive this gift in John 14. 226 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,760 I didn't say they couldn't receive salvation. 227 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,440 I said they can't receive this gift. 228 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,960 In John 1416 through 17, Jesus said, and I will ask the Father, 229 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,040 He will give you another helper to be with you forever, because 230 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,480 Jesus physically couldn't be with everybody at the same time, 231 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,640 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because 232 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,360 it neither sees Him or knows Him. 233 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,080 You know Him and He is in for He dwells with you and will be in 234 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,240 you. The world can receive Christ, 235 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,120 but this is a separate experience. 236 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,600 My Third Point, the promise comes with an outward sign, and 237 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,360 this is where the rubber meets the road. 238 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,560 So we've gone to Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19, when you pray in 239 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,320 other tongues, when you're filled with the Holy Ghost. 1st 240 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Corinthians 14 two says for he who speaks in a in a tongue 241 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,920 speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands him, for 242 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,920 he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 243 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,320 Mysteries are hidden truths, secret counsels of God, matters 244 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,960 revealed by the Spirit rather than being something solvable. 245 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Jeremiah 33 Three. But I know that that word verse. 246 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,760 Call it to me and I will show you great and mighty things that 247 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,520 thou knowest not. And that word mighty there means 248 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,880 things that are fenced in that are in inaccessible. 249 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,400 But all of a sudden when I start praying in the spirit, the 250 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,680 things that are inaccessible, God begins to open the fence. 251 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:05,000 He opens the gate and he starts to show it attitudes of my heart 252 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,640 that aren't right. He begins to correct things. 253 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,680 I might say to my wife in, in, in being a little terse at 254 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,720 times, you shouldn't have spoke. That was harsh. 255 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840 The Holy Spirit is gentle. There's things he begins to show 256 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,440 you. And that's like John said a 257 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,800 minute ago, it's not all sin, but it's not good. 258 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280 And I don't want just good. I want what's best. 259 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,600 Hallelujah, Paul says at 1st Corinthians 14. 260 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,000 He said, for I pray. If I pray in a tongue, my spirit 261 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,640 prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 262 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,960 What am I going to do? I'm going to pray with my spirit 263 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,440 and I'm going to pray with my mind also. 264 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,600 I will sing praise with my spirit and I will sing with my 265 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,880 mind also. It's not either or, it's either 266 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,319 or. And Hallelujah, who does the 267 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:10,599 praying You do. God's not going to pray for you. 268 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,319 That's. Right. 269 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,560 If you're just having good thoughts towards God, that's all 270 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,280 you're having is good thoughts towards God. 271 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,280 And I'm not saying don't have good thoughts towards God, but 272 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,680 you need to articulate John Wesley said years, hundreds of 273 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:32,080 years ago, it seems that the God has chosen not to move unless 274 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:39,880 somebody prays. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 275 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,920 And let me tell you, when you set your heart to seek God and 276 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,520 you see set your heart to to focus and then I mean press in 277 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:54,040 the enemy will give you all kind of reasons today why you can't 278 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,520 do it. You know, you got your car, you 279 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,240 need to change that oil. You need to do those 3 loads of 280 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,920 laundry. You need to fix the meal and oh, 281 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,840 tomorrow is this is going on. He will give you as many excuses 282 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,320 as you want not to do it, but I'm telling you, do it. 283 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:18,280 Hallelujah. Acts 1115, Peter said. 284 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,280 Peter reported to the apostles As I begin to speak. 285 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,320 The Holy Spirit fell on them just as he did at the beginning. 286 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,440 I'm telling you, God is consistent. 287 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,200 What he did in Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19, and, and even in Acts 288 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,200 8, and we'll talk about that right now, he is continually 289 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800 doing. Once faith is activated, he 290 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,240 completes the regenerative work and makes our spirits alive. 291 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000 But the baptism in the Holy Ghost is a secondary experience 292 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,360 to salvation. And Acts chapter 8, if you 293 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,680 remember the story, it's Simon the sorcerer. 294 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,840 And he was listening to Philip preach. 295 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,640 So this wasn't one of the apostles. 296 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,920 This is Philip and he's hearing him preach and the word says he 297 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,280 heard and started following, following Philip and and then 298 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:18,120 here comes Peter in town. Peter laid his hands on them and 299 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,960 they received the Holy Spirit. Now, I'm telling you right here, 300 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,440 it doesn't say that they spoke in tongues, but I know they did 301 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:31,920 because there was something so dramatic happened that Simon 302 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,800 went to Peter and said, here's $500, give me that power so that 303 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,360 when I lay my hands on people, they'll receive too. 304 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,960 So there was something manifested. 305 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,200 That's what I'm trying to get you to see. 306 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,440 There was something that was manifested in that moment that 307 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,640 made him go because he was a magician and he had duped people 308 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,280 for years. Silent the sorcerer, it's like 309 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,040 going to a fortune teller. They can tell you certain 310 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,360 things. You know why they're trafficking 311 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:08,080 with demons. And they've been watching. 312 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,320 Demons have been observing you your whole life. 313 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,840 So they know some stuff. And if they're trafficking with 314 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040 these kind of individuals, he knew some stuff. 315 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,640 So he was ripping people off, charging them. 316 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Oh, he has the great power. He didn't have the great power. 317 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,560 The great power showed up and he recognized it and he wanted it. 318 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680 But his mistake was he thought he could buy it. 319 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,520 Peter said your money perish with you. 320 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,280 Oh, that's good though. The secondary experience, yes, 321 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:44,640 work on that salvation then. Yes, because because salvation 322 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,640 is 1st and I'm I'm going to, I'm going to. 323 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,880 I'm going to cover that. It's good. 324 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,920 Amen. They all got the Spirit Baptist, 325 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,240 all of them. All of them got saved and had 326 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,080 the Spirit at when they when they were. 327 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,680 Were saved. They were got saved, but they 328 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,800 didn't get the baptism in the Holy Ghost until Peter laid 329 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,040 their hands on them. And let me tell you this, 330 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,840 salvation is never imparted that I've read in the Word by the 331 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:18,000 laying on of hands. Salvation comes when you confess 332 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040 with your mouth the Lord Jesus that you believe God raised him 333 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,200 from the dead, and you confess that with your mouth. 334 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,960 That's the Word. So the the laying on of hands. 335 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,720 People say, well, you know, he he just imparted salvation. 336 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,240 No, he didn't. That's not how salvation comes. 337 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,640 The word is nigh. Your mouth is in you. 338 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,400 You believe and then you speak and let me tell you something. 339 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,560 It's the same with the baptism and the Holy Ghost. 340 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,120 You believe and then you speak Hallelujah. 341 00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:52,920 Who's going to do speaking? You are, you are, say I am, I 342 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,880 am. You're the one who's got to do 343 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,400 the talking. Paul said I thank God that I 344 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,560 speak in tongues more than you All in First Corinthians 1418. 345 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,440 Think of this. This is a man who wrote 2/3 346 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,680 about New, 2/3 of the New Testament and he said I speak in 347 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,160 tongues more than all of you. You think he would have gotten 348 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,240 the revelation he got had he not prayed in the Spirit? 349 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,800 I don't think he would have. I think he had to be in tune 350 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,040 with God, but for God to use him now. 351 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,080 He was educated. He was a Pharisee. 352 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,600 Among Pharisees is when it came to the law. 353 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,480 He was faultless. He knew the Jewish history. 354 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,320 I mean, you talk about pedigree. He was a blue blood. 355 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,240 But God knocked him. Off his high horse. 356 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,440 And he said, I'm Jesus whom you are persecuting. 357 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:58,080 And even Paul, when Ananias came and prayed for him, it said 358 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,000 scales fell off his eyes. And then when he got knocked off 359 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,720 the horse, he said, who are you? Who are you, Lord? 360 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,040 He knew this is God. I'm blind now. 361 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,880 And when the scales fell, fell off and Ananias prayed for him, 362 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,320 and then he received the Spirit. And then we know he prayed in 363 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,560 tongues because he said, so I pray in tongues more than all of 364 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,720 you. So we we see consistency in the 365 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,280 word and we shouldn't, we should not treat the gifts of the 366 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,680 spirit with contempt. First Corinthians 12/8 through 367 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600 11 For the one is through the Spirit is given the Spirit 368 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,760 wisdom, another knowledge and other faith, gifts of healing, 369 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,520 working of miracles, prophecy, distinguishing the spirits, 370 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,960 various kinds of tongues and interpretation empowered by the 371 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,200 one same Spirit who are portions to each individual as he wills. 372 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,320 Now this is this is church order. 373 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,840 This isn't you, you and your prayer life. 374 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480 So what are the benefits of being filled with the Spirit? 375 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,280 1st Corinthians 14 four The first part of the verse says he 376 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,800 that speaks an unknown tongue edifies himself. 377 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,160 So what I don't know about you, I'm a, I'm more of a morning 378 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,960 person. I was up at 5:00 this morning. 379 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,280 I was out on my patio about 5:45 or so and I was praying in the 380 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,880 spirit out and you. Know because I'm not waking 381 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,040 everybody else. Up in the house, it's just 382 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:32,440 easier to do that Jude chapter Jude verse 20 says, but you 383 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,120 beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and 384 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:41,520 praying in the Holy Spirit. Yes, that's praying in in 385 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,800 tongues. Yes, praying in the spirit 386 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,160 builds you up. Remember Paul said, I'll pray 387 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,320 with my spirit. I'll pray with my and you, when 388 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:54,080 you pray with your spirit, you bypass your head. 389 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,440 That's right. That's right. 390 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,640 Oh, that's a good word. You. 391 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,760 Bypass your brain because your brain does not always know what 392 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,400 to pray for, as it should. The word says that, but you when 393 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,800 you pray out of your spirit, you're beginning to pray 394 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,000 mysteries, that of things that God wants to reveal to you and 395 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800 about you and move you forward in life. 396 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,160 I'm I'm going to tell you there's a worship leader in here 397 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,080 right now somewhere. I don't know who you are. 398 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,160 I was sensing it when we were worshipping, but you're, you're 399 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,440 in here and you need to step up. All right, I'm just. 400 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,480 Going to move on. But you bypass your brain when 401 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,240 God begins to speak. Romans 8/26/27 For we do not 402 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,680 know what to pray for as we ought. 403 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:46,520 Why do we act like we do? But the Spirit himself 404 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,920 intercedes like a rescue operation, with groanings for 405 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,640 us, so deep that we can't comprehend. 406 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,680 But he intercedes with the Saints according to the will of 407 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,880 God. So when I pray in tongues, when 408 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,840 I'm praying in the Spirit, I'm praying according to the will of 409 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,880 God, because if I pray in my head, I'm praying. 410 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,480 God bless my wife, take care of her. 411 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,520 She's traveling to Anthony's, he's at school. 412 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,320 You know John, Michael, Natalie, the grandkids, you know, the 413 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,240 whole Clark clan. Hallelujah. 414 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,680 Well, that's really good. But what about the rest of the 415 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,360 world? It's not just about us. 416 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:32,120 Second Timothy, verse one. I'm going to read verse 7. 1st 417 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,960 and I'm going to go back to verse 6, you know, 6-7 I'm gonna 418 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:42,760 go 76. Anthony Bout drove us crazy a 419 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,720 couple. Years ago with that. 420 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,440 For for God and and and you've heard this, you've you've read 421 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,280 this first. You've even quoted it to people, 422 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,080 you know when they're dealing with fear. 423 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,320 For God has not given us the spirit of but of and love and a 424 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,200 sound. OK, let's look at verse 6. 425 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,840 The context of this is Paul's writing Timothy. 426 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,160 And he goes, look, I'm, I'm, I'm writing you to encourage you 427 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,480 about the faith that is in you because it was first in your 428 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,280 grandmother and then it was in your mother. 429 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,760 And I am convinced right now it is in you as well. 430 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,400 And then you go to verse 6. He said, and I remind you, fan 431 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,760 into flame, the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on 432 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,880 of my hands. Hallelujah. 433 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,280 And I'm telling you, there are mornings when I'm going to work 434 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,000 and I'm praying in the Spirit and I'm on 64 going to Richmond 435 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,880 and somebody's cutting me off in the construction zone and I'm 436 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,160 praying in tongues and my flesh goes, it's not working. 437 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,160 It's not working. And I'm like, I don't care. 438 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,240 I'm going to keep on speaking because it is working. 439 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,760 He's working in me. And it doesn't matter if I get 440 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,800 the goosey bumps or the warm fuzzies. 441 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,680 That's good. That's irrelevant because I know 442 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,360 the Word is true. I know God cannot lie. 443 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,320 Philippians 2 verse 12. The latter part of that verse 444 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,880 says and I don't know. About you but I've. 445 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,920 I've seemed to have struggled in my life with this verse. 446 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,560 Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is 447 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,440 God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good 448 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,240 pleasure. Work out your own salvation. 449 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,240 I believe one way I can do that is praying in the Spirit because 450 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,240 I don't have the I don't have the intelligence to know what I 451 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,360 should be praying about at times and. 452 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,840 Working out my. Own salvation with fear and 453 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,160 trembling. But if I fear the Lord, I'm 454 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,080 going to honor his word. How do we receive? 455 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,040 It says in Acts 2 they tarried. Guess what? 456 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,160 I got good news. Everybody look at your neighbor 457 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:05,400 and say he's got good news. You don't have to tarry because 458 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,400 the Holy Ghost, because that Holy Ghost is here right now. 459 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,680 You don't have to work, you don't have to beg, you don't 460 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,400 have to get get out like a 2 year old and stomp your feet and 461 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,760 flail. He's here. 462 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:32,720 I said this earlier, Romans 10/9 and 10 believe and speak. 463 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,960 Start praying in time. If you're filled with the Holy 464 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,440 Ghost, praise God. If you're not, if you're not 465 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,840 praying the Spirit every day, shame on you. 466 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,320 Start. That's right. 467 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,560 I'm not mad at you. Our pastor challenged us and a 468 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,000 while back and he said start praying 15 minutes a day, 15 469 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,600 minutes, that's not a lot out of your day. 470 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Change your life and what you're going to do. 471 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,040 You're going to start getting impressions at your work, people 472 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,640 that rub you the wrong way, and we all have them. 473 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,520 And you're going maybe. They're going through something, 474 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,920 maybe, maybe I'm, you know. You know they're, they're still, 475 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,400 you know, whatever you want to. Think but they still got issues. 476 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 But you know what I don't know? I don't know their life story 477 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,040 and I don't you know you. I know sometimes when I'm as 478 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,320 people, you know, get nasty and give you the. 479 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,640 California, how they drive and they think you could. 480 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,440 Cut them off or whatever, and you're like, what is wrong with 481 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,120 that person? Then you start formulating with, 482 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,880 you know, what's going on in that person's world. 483 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,960 Well, they're just a jerk. I don't know that maybe they 484 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,520 just found out a loved one passed away, you know, maybe 485 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,360 they found out that they're getting sued. 486 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,080 I don't know what's going on in their life. 487 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,040 And I don't need to, I don't need to imagine in my head, you 488 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,160 know, and I'm totally wrong. And God's going, why don't you 489 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,160 just stay in your lane? And when I'm praying in his 490 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,920 spirit, that's what he does. He keeps me in my lane. 491 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,640 And when I get off the lane, I hit the rumble strips and I'm 492 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,000 like, oh, I better get back in the road or I'm going to crash. 493 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:20,560 If you'll if you'll begin to to pray in the Spirit, you'll start 494 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,960 seeing and this. Is what I'm excited about. 495 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,680 And I believe this is one of the reasons God gave the gift of the 496 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,160 Holy Ghost. You'll start seeing the fruit. 497 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,280 Of the Spirit manifest. Because I cannot manifest fruit. 498 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,200 Trying to live a Christian life through the flesh. 499 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,920 That's. Right, I can put on a good show 500 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:47,360 and I can make you think I am just super, super good, but in 501 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,880 reality I'm miserable because it's a work oriented thing I'm 502 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,920 trying to do. But if I flow with the Spirit, 503 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,120 it's life and peace. There you go. 504 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,080 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Praying in the Spirit will keep 505 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,680 you from scrolling on social media when the preachers 506 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,680 preaching. It will keep you from from binge 507 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,920 watching TV because once you start praying in the spirit on a 508 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:21,720 regular schedule, you'll be like I don't have time for that 509 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,440 phone. It is just not that important 510 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,280 anymore. And I don't know about you. 511 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,320 I think this is a word we all need to hear and it will. 512 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:39,760 And it will also keep us from being prayer less because we get 513 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,640 frustrated when we try to work it out in our own noggin. 514 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,160 And I'm going to give you an opportunity this morning. 515 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,520 If you have not received the Holy Spirit, I'm going to ask 516 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,640 you to come forward and we're going to pray and we're going to 517 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,240 believe God for you to be filled. 518 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,160 And if you are filled, I want you to be praying in the Spirit 519 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,080 right now. You said, were you going to pray 520 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,240 for people to get through with the Spirit? 521 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,000 Yeah. What? 522 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,920 What if some of them doing what, like a friend of mine, he's in 523 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,080 heaven now, used to say Dallas Fleming said, well, what do some 524 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,720 of them do? As I said before, do all get, do 525 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,560 all get saved? When you preach the messages, 526 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120 all the sinners come up in every service. 527 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:31,320 No, because people are at different phases of their lives. 528 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,720 And you know, I, I have learned through my life that God, 529 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,840 there's a lot more patience with people than I am. 530 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,200 Thank you, Lord, that you're patient. 531 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:53,160 Hey, thank you. Oh, ladies, Lord, you're good. 532 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:05,080 You are so good. In a minute. 533 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,520 I'm going to ask you to come forward if you want prayer to 534 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:14,239 receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and you're. 535 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,239 Going to and you're going to. Speak in other tongues because 536 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,840 that's the biblical pattern that's going to happen. 537 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,239 I don't want to just tell you the Holy Spirit will not speak 538 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:29,440 for you when you come up. Come up with faith, believing 539 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:39,880 He's going to fill you. And then open your mouth and 540 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:48,480 make a sound, not English. Just make a sound and he will 541 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,960 work with you and he will feel you, Jesus said in John 737. 542 00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:58,560 Out of your innermost being will flow rivers of the living water. 543 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,880 The woman at the well, he said. If you drink the water I give 544 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:12,920 you, you'll never thirst again. Somebody here, you're in a dry 545 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,240 place. The day's your day. 546 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,160 to ask. Everybody to stand. 547 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,520 This. Is cooperation time now? 548 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,360 This is where your heart you decide. 549 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,440 I want all that God has for me. And I want to. 550 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,480 I want. To pray correctly and and I want 551 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:04,960 to overcome habits that just and sins that easily beset and I'm 552 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,360 I'm going to tell you something. There's not anybody in this room 553 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,720 that doesn't have. Or hasn't had some of those. 554 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,400 And there's not anybody in this room that's not struggling with 555 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,680 something because they're human. And we have two natures now. 556 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,040 We still have the old sin nature and we and now we have the 557 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,240 Spirit of God. You say, well, who wins? 558 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,000 The one you feed the most. Amen. 559 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,720 Hallelujah. So if you want to be filled this 560 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,800 morning, you've never been filled or you want to be 561 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,520 refilled, yes, that's good. Come forward, we're going. 562 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:54,240 To pray with you and believe. God, it's not spooky, it's not 563 00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,160 weird, it's God's plan for your life. 564 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,960 If you want to be a greater witness for Him, today's your 565 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:10,680 day. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, you're. 566 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,280 Good Lord, Hallelujah.
