power of intellect not my physical strength not my eloquence or some gift that i might have uh that is going to get me through not my finances but it is the power of the holy spirit that is going to get me through and flatten those mountains but it's

you were at your prime H there's a certain age we get to we're just going to go down from there and and we'll never have as much physical energy as we used to but inwardly for the Christian that who has the Holy Spirit side of us God is doing the exact

God's teaching me how important it is to listen to the Holy Spirit and be someone that's uh led by the spirit and in uh in this church we've heard the illustration uh a lot of times before that a a church body a true New Covenant Church body is

but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witness both in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria and even to the remote part of the earth so again what does it

then wonderful God doesn't leave it like that immediately the holy spirit moves that's number one and number two the word of God Goes

there's so much controversy today about what is the mark of being filled with the holy spirit and it's a pity that people go to the acts of the apostles to get doctrine he actually puzzles a history book because there are so many things written

our heavenly father and I think of what Jesus said in John 15. in relation to the gift of the Holy Spirit now there are a lot of

like Jeremy I've also been blessed these last few weeks about thinking of the Holy Spirit and oh thank you a little bit few inches shorter than Jeremy so um I've also been blessed by uh

three things you can see for every day and the three things I thought of our seek to hear God's voice everyday seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit everyday and seek to respond to God's voice and the Holy Spirit everyday and

I thank him like John the Baptist baptized Jesus and he accepted it when I was seeking for the baptism of the Holy Spirit many years ago the Lord pointed me to the baptism of Jesus when the Holy Spirit came on him afterwards and the Lord said to me and

John the Baptist is speaking of Jesus and he says, Jesus Christ will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. And I think in a lot of my life I've kind of thought of these as the same thing. You know, the Holy Spirit descends on the day of Pentecost as

is um that's good in believe it's in gospels probably John 3 um John the Baptist talks about Jesus Christ coming to baptize Us in the Holy Spirit and in Fire and I picture

he was talking about embracing the the holy spirit burning up our self-life and the attachments and if we do that then we'll have plenty of water we'll be full of water having every plenty of need for um uh that water is that that's hidden like

jealous decides to praise and exalt Jesus and it's in this context that this week's memory verse occurs and the first encouragement that I got of this memory verse is to see that God is generous to give his Holy Spirit to his children I

we forgive others and thirdly the Holy Spirit reveals God as our father now how do we know whether we know that or not we free from anxiety if almighty God who rules the universe is your father you cannot be anxious and number four is God who gives

baptism of the holy spirit accomplishes a radical transformation even in the life of jesus something fundamental happens when the holy spirit comes upon us and gives us power for ministry his brother could his brothers couldn't

give us everything he is pouring it out his love his holy spirit is like a waterfall that's constantly flowing it's like sunlight that always enters the room it's the question of whether you're opening up the blinds

C God the father rais Jesus Christ from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and right now I'm seeing a lot of scrunched eyes because you're thinking all of those sound good and option D is all of the above the second one Laurel

23:1. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. And if I'm really this little sheep in my shepherd's arms, I will be completely content. I shall not want. Um, Christ had a body when he came to earth, but the Holy Spirit doesn't have

why jesus john 7 38 jesus said he who believes in me like the scripture said from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water this we was talking about the holy spirit in the last few years i have experienced this

Holy Spirit has gathered us together into an assembly, then it's a church. So, you need to understand that word which has just been translated as church or assembly. The important thing is, since that's the word used in scripture, let's use that.

with the holy spirit and very often the more educated we are the more we think that if we can read the bible and understand it and explain it we will be spiritual and we will please god more

they did not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them so it was very difficult to keep them from idolatry and you see how often in spite of the prophets in spite of the laws they kept on going back to adultery again and

just tell you right now it's my conscience my conscience which is breathed into Life by the power of of the Holy Spirit look with me at verse 27 it says while Jesus was saying these things one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to him blessed
