Summary
The Holy Spirit convinces believers of three things: the necessity of depending on Jesus, the assurance of righteousness before God, and the definitive judgment of the devil on the cross. The speaker emphasizes that the church must be a visible testimony to the devil, demonstrating the mystery of Christ where all social, racial, and cultural distinctions are broken down. Ultimately, believers should live lives—in private, in their families, and in their church—that are so evident in their devotion to God that they silence the devil's accusations.

What are the three areas where the Holy Spirit convinces us?The Holy Spirit convicts us of not depending on Jesus, assures us of our total righteousness and advocacy before God, and reminds us that Satan was judged on the cross.
Living without the fear of SatanBelievers do not need to live in fear of the devil or how he might harm them, because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
What is the great mystery revealed to Paul?God revealed a mystery that in the true church, differences between Gentiles and Jews, or any other social, cultural, and educational barriers, completely disappear.Ephesians 3:4
Jesus has broken down the dividing wallJesus demolished the dividing wall between different groups so that His people can truly fellowship together irrespective of differences.Ephesians 2:14
Making known God's wisdom to evil spiritsGod wants to make His wisdom known through the church not just to the world, but to the evil spirits in heavenly places by pointing out transformed lives.
Caring more about what the devil thinks of our private livesThe speaker expresses that he cares more about how he lives in private and what the devil thinks of him than what people see in public.
God pointing out Job to SatanThe first book written in the Bible focuses on Job, a man whom God could point out to the devil as one who feared God and turned away from evil.
What God boasts about to the devilGod does not boast to Satan about church music or human talents, but rather points out individuals who genuinely fear Him and turn away from evil.
Standing in the victory of ChristBecause Satan was defeated once for all on the cross, he has no right over your life, family, or church if you stand in Christ's victory.
The ongoing work of the Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit continually reminds believers to depend on Jesus, assures them of their righteousness, and eliminates all fear from their homes.
A concluding prayer of thanksgivingThe message closes with a prayer thanking God for sending the Helper to bring constant renewal, assurance, and fellowship without fear.
