• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit you would empower your people today in the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: mighty name of Jesus, we pray. And I want you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to write it real big if you believe it in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the comment section.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: A man, there was one particular night, after many terrible nights,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: where at the end of sleeplessness and at the end
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: of just my rope, I was laying in bed with
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: my son right here on my chest because we all
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: like to cuddle together and sleep together. That I remember
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: asking God, what is going on? What has happened? How
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: is my life like this? I just wanted to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a dad. Why is it so far off and so wrong?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Is it me?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: You have a lot of questions, said God, I can't
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: do it anymore, I can't take a single step forward.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And somewhere in that feeling and thought, I saw what
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to describe now as in the spirit this
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: golden blanket that came down upon me about the size
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of a dovet, just gently across my body, but it
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: sunk into me too, And as it did, it brought
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that piece that I described earlier as being the past
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: is okay, the presence okay, and the future is okay.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And it was with me, and it sat with me,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: knowing I hadn't probably had a good more than a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: couple hours sleep every night for the past couple months.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It sat with me for fifteen minutes or so and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: just let me feel that. And as it did, it
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: placed a little ball of light in my heart and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the word flashed in my mind. Knowledge, and I thought,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: knowledge of what? And I didn't get an answer straight away.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: But that was that peaceful experience that began to open
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: a door for a lot of other softer experiences to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: filter in. In terms of I became on fire for
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the Bible. That's weird. I've never had that experience before.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: You guys want to know you're filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Here's a sign how you know you filled the Holy Spirit?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a sign that the Holy Spirit is filling you to
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: be bold and fearless is that you proclaim the real Jesus,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: the real God, the real Gospel, without fear or shame,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: without the thought of any backlash. Be it known to
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: all of you look at the boldness from the Holy
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Spirit made the Spirit make us as bold as them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And to all the people of Israel, that the name
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, see a
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: sign of being filled. The spirit is political in correctness.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: They had no hesitationying you had Jesus killed, you Jewish rulers.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: They were not ashamed or afraid to call a spade
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: a spade.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Be filled with the spirit, not only for the job
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: to be the light of the world, but also to
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: be ready for Jesus conmon.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Be at peace with God and at peace with men.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: And that is possible through the Holy Spirit. And I
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: do not ask you have you the Holy Spirit? But
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: has the Holy Spirit you? Emmy Carmichael said once the
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Holy that it is willing to enter and fill our hearts,
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: like the light is willing that to flunt a room
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: that is opened for its brightness. The Bible has no suggestions,
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: only commendments.
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: How do we receive the Holy Spirit?
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: How do we know we have it for sure?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Galatians chapter three, verse two to three.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Paul is speaking to the Church of Galicia, who has
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: now fallen into works. Galatians three, verse two says, this
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: only what I learned.
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Of You receive thee the Spirit by the works of
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: the law or by hearing of faith?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Are you so foolish?
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: She says, Having begun in the spirit, are you now
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: made perfect by the flesh? And he's calling them out?
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by doing things and
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: good things and loving your neighbor and doing acts and works?
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Or did you receive it by faith? Are you so,
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: she says, you started with grace. Now you're trying to
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: shift to work. Paul is reminding.
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: Us that the Holy Spirit is only given to us
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: by grace, by faith, not by what we do.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: Guys, the Holy Spirit himself, living within you and me,
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: is indeed a personal helper. Now that means that he
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: is personally involved in whatever God.
• 7:30
  Speaker 11: Has us doing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: The Holy Spirit, who's living within us, is personally involved
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: in every single thing that we are doing. He is
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: a personal helper, he says, He helps us himself. Now,
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: what does that say to us. It says that you
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: and I have a loving heavenly father who is so
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: personally concerned about us, so personally involved with us, that
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: when the Lord Jesus Christ left this earth, he saw
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: fit to send the Holy Spirit to live within us,
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: so that all the days of our life, no matter
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: what's going on, living within us is a personal divine
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: assistant name the Holy Spirit, to enable us, to empower
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: us to do whatever it's necessary to help us to
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: succeed in whatever God has called us to do.
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: So you believe in Jesus life. Okay, so you grew
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: up with him, not in the church way, but I've
• 8:19
  Speaker 12: always had the faith. Can I take you on a journey?
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: You ever heard of the Book of Jonah in the Bible? No,
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: you don't know the Book of Jonah?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Me neither.
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: I just planning. What is Jonah known for Nineveh? You
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: know what he told ninevh to repent. I believe this
• 8:33
  Speaker 12: story could do a lot with your family. You ever
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: try to run from your family? Did you want to
• 8:40
  Speaker 12: see him change and you didn't see him change?
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Go back?
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: They're going to change, and it's going to be you
• 8:49
  Speaker 12: that starts it. Even what happened a second ago just
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: got forgotten under the blood of Jesus. The fact that
• 8:58
  Speaker 12: you stepped in here today the Lord is clean and
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: everything and you're getting a new start because of your faith,
• 9:03
  Speaker 12: and your family will be affected. Lord is time to
• 9:07
  Speaker 12: rock him today. Everything changes, even for your family in
• 9:12
  Speaker 12: Jesus' name.
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: So I think we all need to hear this.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: Check this out.
• 9:18
  Speaker 11: Now, let's look a little bit at the work of
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: the Holy Spirit. First of all, he's not an it
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: I hear people talk about, I want it. He is
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: a person. The Bible says that he's not something, he's someone.
• 9:30
  Speaker 11: He is God. There are three persons in the Trinity
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: to God, the Father God, the Son God.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit.
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: There's one God expressed in three persons. Now, the Bible
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: teaches that the Holy Spirit is all powerful. Michael three
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: six says, I'm full of power by the Spirit of
• 9:47
  Speaker 11: the Lord. The Bible says he's present everywhere. That is
• 9:51
  Speaker 11: one of the reasons that Christ went away. He went
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: to get out of a human body because Christ could
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: only be in one place at one time. So the
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: Holy Spirit, all right, could come in his place and
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: be everywhere at the same time. The Holy Spirit can
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: be in your heart and my heart, and we may
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: live a thousand miles apart.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Talk about that encounter you had with the Holy Spirit
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: on the bus.
• 10:13
  Speaker 13: One of my friends, young man, sat next to me
• 10:15
  Speaker 13: in the bus and we begin to talk about the
• 10:16
  Speaker 13: Holy Spirit. I told me I would like to be
• 10:18
  Speaker 13: filled with the Holy Spirit. He placed his hand on
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: my back and we begin to pray. The atmosphere inside
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: the bus changed. It was tangible, like electricity type, like
• 10:28
  Speaker 13: you can just sense it. I had my eyes closed
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: and I could hear all the young people begin to
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: pray in tongues. I felt heaven open in front of me.
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: It's like love liqued, love being poured in your heart.
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: Suddenly I opened my mouth and I begin to worship.
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: He's more than holy, He's more than good, He's more
• 10:45
  Speaker 13: than love. So you need a heaven language to be
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: able to worship him. At the same time, I begin
• 10:49
  Speaker 13: to receive prophetic words. He began to give me promises,
• 10:53
  Speaker 13: and one of the things he said to me was
• 10:55
  Speaker 13: the number of people who will receive the Holy Spirit
• 10:57
  Speaker 13: through your life will be like the stars in the heaven,
• 11:00
  Speaker 13: like the sand by the seashore. I feel free, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: feel filled, with the Holy Spirit, and at that moment
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: my relationship with him began good.
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: How do you receive the Holy Spirit? Did you know
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: that there's a biblical way to receive the Holy Spirit?
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: Is it just praying in silence and asking and inviting
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: the Holy Spirit in let's go to Ephesians chapter one,
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: verse thirteen, in whom you also trusted. After that you
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: heard the Word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation,
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: in whom also after that you believe you were sealed
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: with that Holy Spirit of promise. After you believed what happened,
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: Holy Spirit entered and sealed you in the promise. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: how do you receive I believing what a gospel? How
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: do you receive the Holy Spirit?
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: Did you know that there's four signs that show you
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: have the Holy Spirit straight from the Bible. First sign
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: love and joy. If you're filled with love and joy,
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: that's a big sign. Galatians five, verse twey two says,
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: Second sign guidance and wisdom. The Holy Spirit helps you
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: know what's right. John Learse sixteen, verse thirteen says, but
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: when he the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: you into all the truth. Third sign boldness to share
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: when you feel the urge to share about Jesus. That's
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: the Spirit working acts one. Verse eight says, but you
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you,
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: and you will be my witnesses. Lastly, inner peace. Even
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: in tough times, you feel a deep peace. Romans eight,
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: verse six says, the mind governed by the Spirit is
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: life and peace. So if you see these signs forget.
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: The more you learn about someone, the closer they become
• 12:50
  Speaker 11: to you.
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: So the more you lembit the Holy Ghost, the closer
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: going experience.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And I guarantee you the more you get into teaching,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you're gonna find that he goes start talking loud to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you because suddenly you are aware of his presence.
• 13:02
  Speaker 14: Because if you ever feel like you receive a prompting
• 13:06
  Speaker 14: from the Spirit from a person, you need to have
• 13:09
  Speaker 14: humility around that. You don't need to walk up to
• 13:11
  Speaker 14: the person and say the say it the Lord like
• 13:14
  Speaker 14: your Pentecostal grandma, you know whatever it is. You don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 14: do that, then the question is you got to weigh
• 13:18
  Speaker 14: what's it? The question is how do you weigh it?
• 13:20
  Speaker 14: This is very easy how to weigh anything that comes
• 13:22
  Speaker 14: to you or from another person. Number One, the spirit
• 13:24
  Speaker 14: of God will never contradict the word of God. This
• 13:27
  Speaker 14: is the most important thing. You have to make sure
• 13:29
  Speaker 14: that it agrees with God's words. Anytime you receive anything
• 13:32
  Speaker 14: in the world, we take it to the measuring rod,
• 13:35
  Speaker 14: measure it against this, and.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Go, man, is that flush?
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Is that good?
• 13:38
  Speaker 14: Not understanding that the spirit of God will never contry
• 13:41
  Speaker 14: to word of God. That's where every cult that's ever
• 13:44
  Speaker 14: existed came from. Somebody received a revelation from a spirit.
• 13:48
  Speaker 14: They thought it was the Holy Spirit. It wasn't the
• 13:49
  Speaker 14: Holy Spirit, it was unholy spirits. Number Two, you need
• 13:53
  Speaker 14: to make sure that whatever you've received that it encourages
• 13:57
  Speaker 14: and builds up the recipient. And then number three, you
• 14:00
  Speaker 14: need to deliver it this whatever prompting you receive in humility.
• 14:05
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you exactly what I do anytime this happens
• 14:07
  Speaker 14: in my life. Here's what I do. I'll say something
• 14:09
  Speaker 14: like this I get the sense that I need to
• 14:13
  Speaker 14: say this to you, or I'll say God brought this
• 14:15
  Speaker 14: to my mind when I was praying for you. But
• 14:18
  Speaker 14: then I'll say something like this, now it may or
• 14:21
  Speaker 14: may not be from God. So if you have a
• 14:24
  Speaker 14: confirmation in your spirit, receive it, and if not, feel
• 14:28
  Speaker 14: free to ignore it. And then you need to have
• 14:30
  Speaker 14: the faith that if it was from the Holy Spirit,
• 14:33
  Speaker 14: that the spirit inside of them will bring confirmation to them.
• 14:36
  Speaker 14: Can I tell you the most common way that people
• 14:39
  Speaker 14: abuse and manipulate. God told me people will be in
• 14:43
  Speaker 14: a really difficult time in their marriage. That is not
• 14:47
  Speaker 14: there is no biblical grounds for divorce. There are limited
• 14:50
  Speaker 14: moments where the Bible gives limited option divorce as a
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: last result limited options. But what will happen is somebody
• 14:57
  Speaker 14: will not be in one of those moments. They're in
• 14:58
  Speaker 14: a really hard time their marriage. They develop a very
• 15:01
  Speaker 14: intense desire to get out of their marriage, and then
• 15:04
  Speaker 14: they'll say something like this, the Holy Spirit or God
• 15:07
  Speaker 14: has let me know that it's okay if I divorce
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: my spouse.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't
