  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray Amen, Amen again the Holy Spirit.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna waste my time or yours to tell
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you all of the wicked things that people are saying
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: about the Holy Spirit. Let's just get to the truth.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: We're gonna shoot straight down the line directly to the truth.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And let me say this without apology or qualification. The
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit is a divine person. I'll give you a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: quote in just a second, but let's first go into
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: our minds. At the baptism of Jesus Christ. Okay, the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Bible says that while Jesus was being baptized in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Jordan River by John Right. So physically, geographically, Jesus is
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: on planet Earth. In the Jordan River. He is wet
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: up to a certain point on his body, and John
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: is about to immerse him or submerge him beneath the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: surface of the water. And when the Bible gives us
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the understand of that event, the Bible says that there
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: is a voice from heaven. That is God, our Father's voice. Geographically,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: if you want to say, God, our Father is in heaven.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But with his booming voice, I imagine, yes, haven't heard
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: his voice that way yet. But with his voice he says,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So God our Father is geographically he's in heaven. Jesus
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Christ in the Jordan River. Now he's coming up out
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: of the water. And the Bible says that in bodily form,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit lights on him and rests on him
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: like as of a dove. And so we have the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Father in heaven, we have Jesus Christ geographically physically in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the Jordan River, and we have the Holy Spirit who's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: manifesting himself. I said himself in bodily form like as
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a dove. And so we have have the three beings
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that comprise God. Okay, God, the Father, God, the Son God,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. And then, of course the Bible says
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that unfortunately humans can grieve the Holy Ghost. Don't do that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: In the time when Anonias and Saphirah had lied about
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: how they had used or not used the money that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they had gotten from the sale of their property, at
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a time when God's people had all things common, the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Bible says, the apostle said, you were lying to the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. Okay. And so the Holy Spirit is a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: divine person. Let me read from the book Evangelism, pages
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: six sixteen and six seventeen, and it makes it very
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: clear here the Holy Spirit has a personality. Else he
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: could not bear witness to our spirits and with our
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: spirits that we are the children of God. Remember the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Bible writer said that the Spirit bears witness with our
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: spirit that we are as children God's children. He must
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: also be a divine person, else he could not search
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: out the secrets which lie hidden in the mind of God.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And we see an allusion to this, and I think
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it's Romans chapter eight when it says that we know
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: we don't know what to pray for as we ought
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to pray. Ah. But the Holy Spirit who moans and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: groanings that cannot be uttered. Also, of course he is
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in league with God our Father, knowing the mind the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: mindset of God our Father. Okay. And so the Holy Spirit,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: let me say it just one more time, here is
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a divine person. And I will leave all the rest
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of that rubbish out of our discussion today, okay. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: so now we go into the Bible Book of John
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: chapter one, and we read, beginning at verse ten, he
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was in the world, and the world was made by him,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and the world knew him. Not, this is Jesus Christ.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He came unto his own and his own received him.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Not.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine you created the world? Ah, You created
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: all things animate and inanimate. You are the one who
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: created even the human beings. And then you set a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: set of human beings aside for a holy use. You
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: called them out, and you even some of them you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: made leaders of the people of God, so that they
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: could guide each of the people of God to a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: closer connection with Him. And then the Bible says that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: his own people did not receive him. But the Bible
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: does say that there were some who did choose to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: receive him Verse twelve. But as many as received him
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to them gave he power. Oh, I love that word power.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: It's like dynamite in our soul. Like we are not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: bound by our badges, habits, were not bound by the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: relationships that we should never have been in. In the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: first place, God can deliver us. We are not bound
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: by the sins that we have committed where we have
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: broken the law of God, not the iniquities, not the transgressions,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: not the sins. We are not bound the power of God,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the dynamite power of God through the Holy Ghost is present.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: What so that we can become the children of God,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the sons of God, the children of God. Even to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: them that believe. The only way that we can be alive,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: we can be leave in this case is through the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: power of the Holy Ghost, even to them that believe
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on His name, which we're born not of blood. Remember,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Bible says a little later that we must be
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: born again ah, not of blood, nor of the will
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: In the same way that when Jesus took on human flesh.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: He adopted human flesh for thirty three and one half years.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ lived in human flesh. Yes, he was still
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: God the Sun. Yes he was still divine, one hundred
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: percent divine, But he took on human flesh during those years.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says it was through the Holy Ghost
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: who overshadowed Mary. He was born into humanity because of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary in the same way that
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Mary received that baby supernaturally. By the overshadowing of the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost, we are transformed. We are made anew. We
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: become the children of God through the power of the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost overshadowing our lives. Can I say that again
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: just quicker? The Lord overshadows our lives through the power
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Ghost, and then we are transformed. We
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are born anew. That is if we will cooperate with him.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So it is the will of God that we will
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: receive God into our lives through Jesus Christ by the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: power of the Holy Ghost. And I'm grateful. I'm grateful
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: because he could have left us here to die. And
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the Bible does teach us that we must be born
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: by the water and by the Holy Ghost, and that
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: is the only way that we can enter into the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of God. In John chapter three, verses five through eight,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful that the Holy Spirit is not an it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit is a person, and he is present
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: with you even now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah.
