We are going to talk about the 18 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.200 Holy Spirit and this is one of the doctrines or 19 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.439 teaching in the Bible that we can understand but not 20 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.640 fully comprehend. And I'm sure all of us medon Hutayom 21 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.200 Magabage that we can understand some of our gadgets and 22 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.319 technology we can understand we are using it, but we 23 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.400 can really comprehend how the parts and all of these 24 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.120 things are working together in order for this to work 25 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.879 or to happen. And the Holy Spirit is one of 26 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.280 the doctrines in the Bible that we can talk there. 27 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:57.599 It's revealed. That's why we believe. But really we cannot 28 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:03.519 fully comprehend how there can be three persons in one God. 29 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.280 It's called the mystery. Mystery is something that is hard 30 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.639 to understand, something that is hard to explain. And even 31 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.680 in our own church Maramipong Mysterio. I can just show 32 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.800 you some examples. There's there's many that I can only 33 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.400 show you three. First one one of the mysteries we 34 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:40.159 have here in church yen Ayenpalian see Francis marrying Pam. 35 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.560 Here's another mystery. One of the mysteries in church, Pastor 36 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.719 Larry with with yet Uh. And the greatest mystery of 37 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:57.520 all is my boss Pastor Dennis and Tommy. Maybe you're wondering, 38 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.120 but when I picture of my gen Pastor Bahama of 39 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:11.120 Engun Wifko Sol, Pastor DNI's Mahmoelen and Trabajo. But we 40 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.759 have mysteries, things that are hard to explain and to understand. 41 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.800 And so what we're going to do today in the 42 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.159 next five weeks, we're going to look at the Bible 43 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.560 and see what the Bible reveals to us about the 44 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.759 Holy Spirit. We're going to talk about the person and 45 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.840 the power of the Holy Spirit, and how is this 46 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.439 important to us as Christians? In fact, you cannot be 47 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.719 a Christian without the Holy Spirit. You cannot follow Jesus, 48 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.080 and you cannot do the things that God is calling 49 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.000 you to do without the Holy Spirit. Now, there is 50 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.120 an interesting verse in the Bible in Acts nineteen. This 51 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.919 is not yet our main texts, just trying to lay 52 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.879 down the importance of our series. Acts nineteen, verse one 53 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.039 to two. While Apollos was at current, Paul took the 54 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.919 road through the interior and arrived at Ephisuds. There he 55 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.000 found some decideles and asked them, did you receive the 56 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.520 Holy Spirit? When you believe? The Gospel spread so rapidly 57 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.680 that it reached different kinds of people. And Paul was 58 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.240 trying to meet all these disciples and putting foundation in 59 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.279 their faith. And here's one of the most important foundations 60 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.000 and teaching. He said, have you received the Holy Spirit? 61 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.240 And said, we have not even heard that there is 62 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.680 a Holy Spirit. You know, I grew up hearing about 63 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.800 the Holy Spirit. I grew up mentioning the name of 64 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.199 the Holy Spirit. How many of you here, every time 65 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.920 you pray, you mentioned the Holy Spirit. Okay, signing of 66 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.000 the cross right in the name of the Father, the 67 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.439 Son in the Holy Spirit. I grew up with that tradition, 68 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:50.519 but never really understanding who the Holy Spirit is and 69 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.639 why I need the Holy Spirit. I just went through 70 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.199 the motion. I just copied what I heard, but not 71 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.680 really understanding the significance of this in my own walk 72 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.519 with God. And so it's important that now that you're 73 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.839 a Christian, you don't just carry that tradition and you 74 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.319 don't just follow the religion. But you have to understand 75 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.959 is this just a concept or idea or is this 76 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.800 something that will change my life? Is this something that 77 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.600 will affect my day to day life? Because Christianity is 78 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.000 not just going to church every Sunday. How many of 79 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.839 you hear you enjoy going to church every Sunday? Sana no, no, no, no. 80 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.519 How many of you are learning every Sunday? I mean, 81 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.040 I love the fellowship, I love us worshiping together. But 82 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.959 there is more to Christianity than just going to church. 83 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.240 There is more to Christianity than just having a good 84 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:52.759 family and just being nice to people. Christianity, the Gospel 85 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.480 brings revolution. As we've said that we are saved, not 86 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.399 just for us to go to heaven. That's ever in. 87 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.879 That's not even the major discussion. With Jesus and the disciples. 88 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.959 He's talking about the kingdom, and when he talked to 89 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.160 his disciples, he said, the Kingdom of God is near. 90 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.360 They're waiting for a different kingdom, a different idea of 91 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.920 kingdom where the Romans will be the reign of the 92 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.560 Romans will end, the Jews will reign again into power, 93 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.360 just like during the time of David and Solomon, and 94 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.480 Jesus will reign as the ruler, as the king of kings. 95 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.199 That's their idea. They're waiting for it. But Jesus said, no, 96 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.680 you're missing it. The kingdom is already here and the 97 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.560 Kingdom is advancing, and we're part of that. There is 98 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.240 a kingdom to advance, there is a gospel to preach, 99 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.879 there are people to be saved, and we have a 100 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.879 role to play as Christians. God involve us in what 101 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.120 is doing in the world today. That's why Christianity is 102 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.639 not a boring life. It's a call to the greatest 103 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.639 adventure of our life. We're called to something big than us, 104 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.600 but it's not possible without the help of the Holy Spirit. 105 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.519 So that's what we're going to talk about. And today 106 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.000 we're going to start these years by talking about the 107 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.639 person of the Holy Spirit. So if you have your 108 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.800 Bible with you, we'll read from John fourteen, starting in 109 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:25.879 verse twelve to seventeen. It says, truly, truly, I say 110 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.000 to you, whoever believes in me will also do the 111 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.319 works that I do, And greater works than these will 112 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.079 he do. Because I'm going to the Father. Whatever you 113 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.279 ask in my name, this I will do that the 114 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.120 Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask 115 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.439 me anything in my name, I will do it. How 116 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.639 many of you liked that promise that when you pray, 117 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.000 your prayer will not be in vain, that your prayer 118 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.600 will be heard, and God will respond to your prayer. 119 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.000 And verse fifteen, if you love me, you will keep 120 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:04.720 my command. And obeying God is always about love. It's 121 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.439 not about duty, and it's not about our ability. Can 122 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.600 I do that, Lord, The real question is do you 123 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.600 love God? Because if you love somebody, you will find ways. 124 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.800 Elenus in love Mario, how many single people do we 125 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.720 have in this room? Can you please wave your hands 126 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:28.240 and look around you know, I mean all of us 127 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.200 experienced being in love. And if you're in love kit 128 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:43.039 klaas kite make gallet family members or there are people 129 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.279 against the relationship, you fight for the relationship. So love 130 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.639 is powerful. It's always an issue about love. Do you 131 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.679 love God? Because Jesus said, if you love me, you 132 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.639 will obey my commandments. And here's what I really where 133 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.440 I really want is to focus and I will ask 134 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.519 the Father and he will give you another helper to 135 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.960 be with you forever, even the spirit of Truth, whom 136 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.879 the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor 137 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.759 knows him, but you know him, for he dwells with 138 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.600 you and will be in you. Lord. We pray that 139 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.840 you will anoint your word. We pray the ture word 140 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.039 will create a desire, a hunger, a thurst in our 141 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.320 heart to know you and to experience the Holy Spirit 142 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:33.159 in our lives. In Jesus name, Amen Well John fourteen. 143 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.480 I like what John said. He said whoever believes in me. 144 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.000 How many of you here you believe in Jesus. You 145 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.720 have faith in Jesus. I like that. Christianity is not 146 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.360 rocket science. It's not complicated. In fact, Jesus said, if 147 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.639 you want to receive salvation, if you want to do 148 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:57.879 greater things, that's the context. The only requirement is for 149 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.039 you to believe. It's not for you to have this 150 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.120 all kinds of knowledge about the Bible. It's good for 151 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.519 us to grow in our knowledge of the Bible, but 152 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.399 it's not a prerequisite in order for us to experience 153 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.679 God or his destiny and plan for our lives. He said, 154 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.799 whoever believes in me, whether you are new in the 155 00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.799 faith and you still have struggles and issues, and you're 156 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.720 thinking depac leader, bague la nao, there are things that 157 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.240 God is working in my life. I want you to know. 158 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.799 God is also doing things work in my own life. 159 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.039 I still have issues, I still have struggles. So we 160 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:41.759 are in the same league. And Jesus said, whoever believes 161 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.759 in me, whether you're a leader or not. You've been 162 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.639 in Christianity for twenty years or just twenty hours. If 163 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:52.480 you're in christ this is for you. Whoever believes in me, 164 00:10:52.679 --> 00:11:00.360 regardless of your age, educational background, economic status. It's faith. 165 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.360 It's about faith. And he said, whoever believes in Me 166 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:08.480 will do greater works. You know, Jesus came for two reasons. 167 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.600 One is to die on the cross so that you 168 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.639 and I can have a way to be saved and 169 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.039 for our sins to be forgiven. But that's not the 170 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.039 only reason why Jesus came. Not only to die on 171 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.159 the cross. He stayed here for thirty three years. He 172 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.279 wore our clothes, ate our food, use our language. You know, 173 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.600 I want to imagine that if Jesus lived during our time, 174 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:38.559 he will have a Facebook account. But that during his time, 175 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.639 the Bible says he came and dwelt among us, He 176 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:47.320 joined the community. He walked with people, experience what normal 177 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:53.799 human beings experience, pain, betrayal, joy sadness, victory. And the 178 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:58.279 reason for that the reason God clothed himself with humanity. 179 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.120 He's one hundred percent God, but he's also one hundred 180 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.559 percent man. He experienced to be hungry and tired and 181 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.759 all of these things. And the reason for that is 182 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:12.799 because God wants to give us a picture, an example 183 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.200 of how a spirit filled life look like. If we're 184 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.879 going to be filled by the Holy Spirit, if we're 185 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.039 going to rely and be guided on the Holy Spirit, 186 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.440 how does it look like? Andherruptibi if you are just 187 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.240 going to read, it's hard. You know, many of you know. 188 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.919 I used to be part of a dance group. You 189 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.919 want sample to playing a music. It used to be 190 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.960 part of a dance group. And we used to follow maneuver. 191 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.000 Some of them part of our church, high school, plan 192 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.720 Hoge and a guy in an Amenzilano. And during our time, 193 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:55.559 there's no YouTube, there's no Internet, there's no nothing that 194 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.919 we What we have today, what we have during our 195 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.879 time is beta macs. Okay, let's say you a Beta Max. 196 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.519 That's what we have. What we'll do is we're going 197 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.159 to watch, for example, a TV show where they will 198 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.440 guess and have a dance number, and we'll record it 199 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.480 using this. And what we're going to do is we're 200 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.559 going to watch it again and again copy the moves, 201 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:30.399 and that's how we learn to dance. So Papa so 202 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.000 gaya Gayazadin, we will be able to complete it. And 203 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.159 so when we go to a party, because we're so 204 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.159 in demand during that time, A miss gay Barangay League 205 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.039 three on three. We're so in demand during the time, 206 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.200 and we will be able to dance like them. We 207 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.519 will be able to copy the formation and the steps. 208 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.519 The reason for that is because we're able to watch it. 209 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.120 But the here's what's amazing, and here's what's exciting. Jesus said, 210 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:09.240 whoever believes in me will not only do the work 211 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.759 that I'm doing, but you will do greater works. You 212 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.360 will do greater things. Reading the story of Jesus, when 213 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:25.279 he multiplied five logs and two fish and feed five 214 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.200 thousand people. Out of that, he was able to call 215 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.519 out Peter, and Peter was able to walk on water. 216 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.639 He was able to disciple twelve men who used to 217 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.559 be so I mean, full of issues and flaws, and 218 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:42.480 yet they became world changer. And Jesus said, whoever believes 219 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.679 in me, you will not only be able to do 220 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.600 the things that I'm doing, you will do greater things. 221 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.799 God wants you and I to do greater things. God 222 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.240 wants you and I to do greater works in this world. 223 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.799 Not just go through life, not just be a private individual. 224 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.120 God wants you to impact change in this world. God 225 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.759 wants you to you and I to do big things. 226 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.600 It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, or young 227 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.440 and old, even if a high school student. That's what 228 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.639 I like about our campus ministry. They don't need to 229 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.639 wait to become thirty or forty or millionaire in order 230 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.519 to change the world. As high school student, by the 231 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:23.919 power of the Holy Spirit, they can change the world. 232 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.039 You and I. God is calling us to do greater things. 233 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.279 If Jesus was able to disciple twelve men in three years, 234 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.399 you can disciple maybe twelve thousand people in your lifetime. 235 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.559 You're destined to do greater works. If Jesus was able 236 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.200 to feed five thousand people, maybe God wants you to 237 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.399 feed fifty thousand people in your lifetime. You know, we 238 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.000 went to the house of one of our leaders last Wednesday, 239 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.799 see mister Willichew when he show us around, because it 240 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.919 was a miraculous provision from God. And the part of 241 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.120 his house that I really like the most was this 242 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:14.840 this stock room in his garage. Buddha been. But they're 243 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.080 believing God is a family for stuff, different things, clothes 244 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.039 and food and sometimes wheelchair. They're just believing for things 245 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.840 so that when an opportunity comes or where there is 246 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.919 a need that will arise. They have something to give. Wow, 247 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:40.080 greater things, greater faith, greater words. How many of you here? 248 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.159 You want to do greater things. You want to be 249 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.879 used by God to do greater works. I like that. Lord, 250 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.720 give me that kind of faith, he said. If you're 251 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.879 a giver, you will not run out of things to give. 252 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.559 I want that kind of faith. I want that kind 253 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.799 of spirit that will enable me to do great things, 254 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.120 that will enable me to rise above my situation in 255 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.839 the May problem up coming pagamic key, Lord Hindi Ilankaya. 256 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.400 God doesn't want us to be held hostage by our situation. 257 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.400 With the spirit of God, we can rise above our 258 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.880 situation and we can do greater things. Are you here? 259 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:28.279 Thank you now. When Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit, 260 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.759 he described the Holy Spirit in this verse using the 261 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:40.599 word another helper and the spirit of truth and first 262 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.039 one another helper another in the Greek word means the 263 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.839 same kind. And one thing we need to know about 264 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.079 the Holy Spirit is that the Holy Spirit has emotion. 265 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.920 There is a verse in the Bible. Lets us don't 266 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.039 grieve the Holy Spirit. You know, convict experience. You by 267 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.759 the new heart will act on peace I mean, have 268 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.319 you experienced that young ala mula pinnipilit my young isamba 269 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.119 guy alamupagin Dc, Lord, though you don't have peace, you're 270 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:18.200 being convicted. Every time you receive that conviction, we are grieving. 271 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.079 The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has emotion. There's a 272 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.000 verse in the Bible and Acts when the disciples were fasting, 273 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.240 and the Bible says, the Holy Spirit spoke and said, 274 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:31.240 set apart for me, Paul and Barnabas. The Holy Spirit 275 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:36.119 has a will intelligence because the Holy Spirit is a person. 276 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.519 He is not a force sent by God so that 277 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.759 we can have supernatural power, so we can do supernatural things. 278 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.480 He is a person. In the Book of Genesis, in Creation, 279 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.559 in the book of the Beginning the Creation, the Bible says, 280 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.319 the earth was without form, and there was darkness, and 281 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.920 the whole the Spirit was hovering upon the face of 282 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.200 the water. Even in Genesis one, the Holy Spirit was 283 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:11.599 there already working and bringing into completion what God God's 284 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.440 will is now another means of the same kind. That's 285 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.200 why there's a verse in the Bible that says Jesus 286 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:24.200 was talking to his disciples because the disciples were so sad. 287 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.640 But can Papa Alam. We want you to be with us. 288 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.359 We've waited for you. Now you're telling us you're going 289 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.839 back to the Father. And Jesus said, it is for 290 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.519 your advantage that I'm going away. You know why because 291 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:44.480 when Jesus was here, he's confined in one place because 292 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.000 of embracing that humanity. But Nasa Green Hills, see Jesus, 293 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.079 he can't be in the gig, he can't be in 294 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:53.960 Mandalujum because he confined himself to that. But he said, 295 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.680 but if I go away, it is to your advantage 296 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:01.240 because I will send another helper, same kind as if 297 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.880 I never left. So if you have the Holy Spirit, 298 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:10.319 it's as if you have Jesus with you. Wow. I 299 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.680 used to imagine the feeling, how it's like if Jesus 300 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.240 is your victory group leader. Imagine you beyond twelve knowing 301 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.880 because a lit late the Patawa say, Jesus, no meetings, 302 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.480 you go and as a meeting or is go to Talagan. 303 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.799 You will make sure Jesus. Can you imagine if Jesus 304 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.039 is your victory group leader, if you are with if 305 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.200 you're together, feeling was the down He's the best encourager, 306 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.839 He's the best leader. Maybe I'll be the best leader 307 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.759 that I can be. Maybe we never had that opportunity 308 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.039 or chance. We're not born during that time, yet we'd 309 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.720 never had the chance. But guess what the Bible says. 310 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.240 If you have the Holy Spirit, it's like having Jesus 311 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.640 with you every day. Just think about that, when you 312 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:04.799 go to your house, to your work, when you're driving, 313 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.440 wherever you go. You have the spirit of God, another kind, 314 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.799 the same kind and helper. In the Greek another word 315 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.960 for that is helper. Helper is an advocate. It's like 316 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.000 having your own lawyer. Do we have lawyer in the room? 317 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:33.400 Lawyers but mayana TV shows. But if you if you 318 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:40.319 have a case and somebody is accusing you, you need 319 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.400 a lawyer. You don't know the law, you don't know 320 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.319 how to defend yourself. But if you have a lawyer, 321 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.319 somebody can defend you. It's interesting because when Jesus talked 322 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.240 about the Holy Spirit, he used the word helper, which 323 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.160 is also which also means advocate, meaning you have a 324 00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:01.640 lawyer to defend you. You know why because in Revelation 325 00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:05.039 it says Satan is the accuser of the brothers, who 326 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:09.319 accuses us day and night, and one of the reasons 327 00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.440 I believe while some while some Christians cannot cannot be 328 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.359 fully released and allow the Holy Spirit to work in 329 00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.519 their life is because they are They are in condemnation 330 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:28.920 or in shame, damning be not but on accusation, damning lies. 331 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.000 Remember what you did, Remember who you are diming. So 332 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.920 we are so bombarded and so no as much as 333 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.039 we want to respond to God, we can. But if 334 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.279 you have the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit remind you 335 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.359 of who you are. He reminds you of God's word. 336 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.440 The Bible says there is now no condemnation for those 337 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.400 who are in Christ Jesus. You make a mistake, you 338 00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:59.039 go to God ask for forgiveness, and the Bible says 339 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.720 He is willing to forgive you and cleanse you. That's 340 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.559 why we can stand, we can be bold, we can 341 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:09.319 be confident. We're not hiding anything because we have God 342 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.440 as our lord. Not only that, but the word comforter, 343 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.640 and the idea of comforter is not just somebody who 344 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.039 makes you feel good when you're down, but the idea 345 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:28.480 of somebody helping you find courage and strength so you 346 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:32.839 can continue when you're down. How many of you hear 347 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:38.839 you need strength every single day. Me Lattio. We need strength. 348 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.359 There's just so many things we go through and face 349 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.200 in life every single day. That's why one of the 350 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.000 things I do when I'm making disciple is that before 351 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.039 we part ways, I'm just asking God, Lord, what is 352 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:57.240 one positive thing or good thing that I can speak 353 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:04.519 into this person's life. Everyone needs encouragement. Everyone needs to 354 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:07.319 know that God is doing a great work in my 355 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.960 life in spite of all the things that I see 356 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.440 right now, the failures and the shortcomings and the weaknesses 357 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.359 and the imperfections. And the good thing about the Holy 358 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:23.240 Spirit is that the Holy Spirit is our helper. That's 359 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.359 why we can continue, we can fight, we can follow Jesus. 360 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.519 I like to think of the helper of the Holy 361 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:34.680 Spirit as a gym trainer.
