The Person of the Holy Spirit and Why His Presence Matters

Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily dose

of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different characters and

speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast

finds you in good shape. And now here's your message.

You're listening to a podcast from Victory. The Holy Spirit

is the divine third person in the Triune God. We

can know him, experience him, and fellowship with him. Learn

more about this truth in week one of our series

to Make Room.

We are starting a brand new series today and this

is going to run for six weeks, and we are

really excited. We're praying that not only in our gathering here,

but as you go back to your house, to your work,

wherever you God placed you, that we are praying that

this is going to something that is going to affect

whatever it is that you're doing and will affect your

walk with God. We are going to talk about the

Holy Spirit and this is one of the doctrines or

teaching in the Bible that we can understand but not

fully comprehend. And I'm sure all of us medon Hutayom

Magabage that we can understand some of our gadgets and

technology we can understand we are using it, but we

can really comprehend how the parts and all of these

things are working together in order for this to work

or to happen. And the Holy Spirit is one of

the doctrines in the Bible that we can talk there.

It's revealed. That's why we believe. But really we cannot

fully comprehend how there can be three persons in one God.

It's called the mystery. Mystery is something that is hard

to understand, something that is hard to explain. And even

in our own church Maramipong Mysterio. I can just show

you some examples. There's there's many that I can only

show you three. First one one of the mysteries we

have here in church yen Ayenpalian see Francis marrying Pam.

Here's another mystery. One of the mysteries in church, Pastor

Larry with with yet Uh. And the greatest mystery of

all is my boss Pastor Dennis and Tommy. Maybe you're wondering,

but when I picture of my gen Pastor Bahama of

Engun Wifko Sol, Pastor DNI's Mahmoelen and Trabajo. But we

have mysteries, things that are hard to explain and to understand.

And so what we're going to do today in the

next five weeks, we're going to look at the Bible

and see what the Bible reveals to us about the

Holy Spirit. We're going to talk about the person and

the power of the Holy Spirit, and how is this

important to us as Christians? In fact, you cannot be

a Christian without the Holy Spirit. You cannot follow Jesus,

and you cannot do the things that God is calling

you to do without the Holy Spirit. Now, there is

an interesting verse in the Bible in Acts nineteen. This

is not yet our main texts, just trying to lay

down the importance of our series. Acts nineteen, verse one

to two. While Apollos was at current, Paul took the

road through the interior and arrived at Ephisuds. There he

found some decideles and asked them, did you receive the

Holy Spirit? When you believe? The Gospel spread so rapidly

that it reached different kinds of people. And Paul was

trying to meet all these disciples and putting foundation in

their faith. And here's one of the most important foundations

and teaching. He said, have you received the Holy Spirit?

And said, we have not even heard that there is

a Holy Spirit. You know, I grew up hearing about

the Holy Spirit. I grew up mentioning the name of

the Holy Spirit. How many of you here, every time

you pray, you mentioned the Holy Spirit. Okay, signing of

the cross right in the name of the Father, the

Son in the Holy Spirit. I grew up with that tradition,

but never really understanding who the Holy Spirit is and

why I need the Holy Spirit. I just went through

the motion. I just copied what I heard, but not

really understanding the significance of this in my own walk

with God. And so it's important that now that you're

a Christian, you don't just carry that tradition and you

don't just follow the religion. But you have to understand

is this just a concept or idea or is this

something that will change my life? Is this something that

will affect my day to day life? Because Christianity is

not just going to church every Sunday. How many of

you hear you enjoy going to church every Sunday? Sana no, no, no, no.

How many of you are learning every Sunday? I mean,

I love the fellowship, I love us worshiping together. But

there is more to Christianity than just going to church.

There is more to Christianity than just having a good

family and just being nice to people. Christianity, the Gospel

brings revolution. As we've said that we are saved, not

just for us to go to heaven. That's ever in.

That's not even the major discussion. With Jesus and the disciples.

He's talking about the kingdom, and when he talked to

his disciples, he said, the Kingdom of God is near.

They're waiting for a different kingdom, a different idea of

kingdom where the Romans will be the reign of the

Romans will end, the Jews will reign again into power,

just like during the time of David and Solomon, and

Jesus will reign as the ruler, as the king of kings.

That's their idea. They're waiting for it. But Jesus said, no,

you're missing it. The kingdom is already here and the

Kingdom is advancing, and we're part of that. There is

a kingdom to advance, there is a gospel to preach,

there are people to be saved, and we have a

role to play as Christians. God involve us in what

is doing in the world today. That's why Christianity is

not a boring life. It's a call to the greatest

adventure of our life. We're called to something big than us,

but it's not possible without the help of the Holy Spirit.

So that's what we're going to talk about. And today

we're going to start these years by talking about the

person of the Holy Spirit. So if you have your

Bible with you, we'll read from John fourteen, starting in

verse twelve to seventeen. It says, truly, truly, I say

to you, whoever believes in me will also do the

works that I do, And greater works than these will

he do. Because I'm going to the Father. Whatever you

ask in my name, this I will do that the

Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask

me anything in my name, I will do it. How

many of you liked that promise that when you pray,

your prayer will not be in vain, that your prayer

will be heard, and God will respond to your prayer.

And verse fifteen, if you love me, you will keep

my command. And obeying God is always about love. It's

not about duty, and it's not about our ability. Can

I do that, Lord, The real question is do you

love God? Because if you love somebody, you will find ways.

Elenus in love Mario, how many single people do we

have in this room? Can you please wave your hands

and look around you know, I mean all of us

experienced being in love. And if you're in love kit

klaas kite make gallet family members or there are people

against the relationship, you fight for the relationship. So love

is powerful. It's always an issue about love. Do you

love God? Because Jesus said, if you love me, you

will obey my commandments. And here's what I really where

I really want is to focus and I will ask

the Father and he will give you another helper to

be with you forever, even the spirit of Truth, whom

the world cannot receive because it neither sees him nor

knows him, but you know him, for he dwells with

you and will be in you. Lord. We pray that

you will anoint your word. We pray the ture word

will create a desire, a hunger, a thurst in our

heart to know you and to experience the Holy Spirit

in our lives. In Jesus name, Amen Well John fourteen.

I like what John said. He said whoever believes in me.

How many of you here you believe in Jesus. You

have faith in Jesus. I like that. Christianity is not

rocket science. It's not complicated. In fact, Jesus said, if

you want to receive salvation, if you want to do

greater things, that's the context. The only requirement is for

you to believe. It's not for you to have this

all kinds of knowledge about the Bible. It's good for

us to grow in our knowledge of the Bible, but

it's not a prerequisite in order for us to experience

God or his destiny and plan for our lives. He said,

whoever believes in me, whether you are new in the

faith and you still have struggles and issues, and you're

thinking depac leader, bague la nao, there are things that

God is working in my life. I want you to know.

God is also doing things work in my own life.

I still have issues, I still have struggles. So we

are in the same league. And Jesus said, whoever believes

in me, whether you're a leader or not. You've been

in Christianity for twenty years or just twenty hours. If

you're in christ this is for you. Whoever believes in me,

regardless of your age, educational background, economic status. It's faith.

It's about faith. And he said, whoever believes in Me

will do greater works. You know, Jesus came for two reasons.

One is to die on the cross so that you

and I can have a way to be saved and

for our sins to be forgiven. But that's not the

only reason why Jesus came. Not only to die on

the cross. He stayed here for thirty three years. He

wore our clothes, ate our food, use our language. You know,

I want to imagine that if Jesus lived during our time,

he will have a Facebook account. But that during his time,

the Bible says he came and dwelt among us, He

joined the community. He walked with people, experience what normal

human beings experience, pain, betrayal, joy sadness, victory. And the

reason for that the reason God clothed himself with humanity.

He's one hundred percent God, but he's also one hundred

percent man. He experienced to be hungry and tired and

all of these things. And the reason for that is

because God wants to give us a picture, an example

of how a spirit filled life look like. If we're

going to be filled by the Holy Spirit, if we're

going to rely and be guided on the Holy Spirit,

how does it look like? Andherruptibi if you are just

going to read, it's hard. You know, many of you know.

I used to be part of a dance group. You

want sample to playing a music. It used to be

part of a dance group. And we used to follow maneuver.

Some of them part of our church, high school, plan

Hoge and a guy in an Amenzilano. And during our time,

there's no YouTube, there's no Internet, there's no nothing that

we What we have today, what we have during our

time is beta macs. Okay, let's say you a Beta Max.

That's what we have. What we'll do is we're going

to watch, for example, a TV show where they will

guess and have a dance number, and we'll record it

using this. And what we're going to do is we're

going to watch it again and again copy the moves,

and that's how we learn to dance. So Papa so

gaya Gayazadin, we will be able to complete it. And

so when we go to a party, because we're so

in demand during that time, A miss gay Barangay League

three on three. We're so in demand during the time,

and we will be able to dance like them. We

will be able to copy the formation and the steps.

The reason for that is because we're able to watch it.

But the here's what's amazing, and here's what's exciting. Jesus said,

whoever believes in me will not only do the work

that I'm doing, but you will do greater works. You

will do greater things. Reading the story of Jesus, when

he multiplied five logs and two fish and feed five

thousand people. Out of that, he was able to call

out Peter, and Peter was able to walk on water.

He was able to disciple twelve men who used to

be so I mean, full of issues and flaws, and

yet they became world changer. And Jesus said, whoever believes

in me, you will not only be able to do

the things that I'm doing, you will do greater things.

God wants you and I to do greater things. God

wants you and I to do greater works in this world.

Not just go through life, not just be a private individual.

God wants you to impact change in this world. God

wants you to you and I to do big things.

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, or young

and old, even if a high school student. That's what

I like about our campus ministry. They don't need to

wait to become thirty or forty or millionaire in order

to change the world. As high school student, by the

power of the Holy Spirit, they can change the world.

You and I. God is calling us to do greater things.

If Jesus was able to disciple twelve men in three years,

you can disciple maybe twelve thousand people in your lifetime.

You're destined to do greater works. If Jesus was able

to feed five thousand people, maybe God wants you to

feed fifty thousand people in your lifetime. You know, we

went to the house of one of our leaders last Wednesday,

see mister Willichew when he show us around, because it

was a miraculous provision from God. And the part of

his house that I really like the most was this

this stock room in his garage. Buddha been. But they're

believing God is a family for stuff, different things, clothes

and food and sometimes wheelchair. They're just believing for things

so that when an opportunity comes or where there is

a need that will arise. They have something to give. Wow,

greater things, greater faith, greater words. How many of you here?

You want to do greater things. You want to be

used by God to do greater works. I like that. Lord,

give me that kind of faith, he said. If you're

a giver, you will not run out of things to give.

I want that kind of faith. I want that kind

of spirit that will enable me to do great things,

that will enable me to rise above my situation in

the May problem up coming pagamic key, Lord Hindi Ilankaya.

God doesn't want us to be held hostage by our situation.

With the spirit of God, we can rise above our

situation and we can do greater things. Are you here?

Thank you now. When Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit,

he described the Holy Spirit in this verse using the

word another helper and the spirit of truth and first

one another helper another in the Greek word means the

same kind. And one thing we need to know about

the Holy Spirit is that the Holy Spirit has emotion.

There is a verse in the Bible. Lets us don't

grieve the Holy Spirit. You know, convict experience. You by

the new heart will act on peace I mean, have

you experienced that young ala mula pinnipilit my young isamba

guy alamupagin Dc, Lord, though you don't have peace, you're

being convicted. Every time you receive that conviction, we are grieving.

The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has emotion. There's a

verse in the Bible and Acts when the disciples were fasting,

and the Bible says, the Holy Spirit spoke and said,

set apart for me, Paul and Barnabas. The Holy Spirit

has a will intelligence because the Holy Spirit is a person.

He is not a force sent by God so that

we can have supernatural power, so we can do supernatural things.

He is a person. In the Book of Genesis, in Creation,

in the book of the Beginning the Creation, the Bible says,

the earth was without form, and there was darkness, and

the whole the Spirit was hovering upon the face of

the water. Even in Genesis one, the Holy Spirit was

there already working and bringing into completion what God God's

will is now another means of the same kind. That's

why there's a verse in the Bible that says Jesus

was talking to his disciples because the disciples were so sad.

But can Papa Alam. We want you to be with us.

We've waited for you. Now you're telling us you're going

back to the Father. And Jesus said, it is for

your advantage that I'm going away. You know why because

when Jesus was here, he's confined in one place because

of embracing that humanity. But Nasa Green Hills, see Jesus,

he can't be in the gig, he can't be in

Mandalujum because he confined himself to that. But he said,

but if I go away, it is to your advantage

because I will send another helper, same kind as if

I never left. So if you have the Holy Spirit,

it's as if you have Jesus with you. Wow. I

used to imagine the feeling, how it's like if Jesus

is your victory group leader. Imagine you beyond twelve knowing

because a lit late the Patawa say, Jesus, no meetings,

you go and as a meeting or is go to Talagan.

You will make sure Jesus. Can you imagine if Jesus

is your victory group leader, if you are with if

you're together, feeling was the down He's the best encourager,

He's the best leader. Maybe I'll be the best leader

that I can be. Maybe we never had that opportunity

or chance. We're not born during that time, yet we'd

never had the chance. But guess what the Bible says.

If you have the Holy Spirit, it's like having Jesus

with you every day. Just think about that, when you

go to your house, to your work, when you're driving,

wherever you go. You have the spirit of God, another kind,

the same kind and helper. In the Greek another word

for that is helper. Helper is an advocate. It's like

having your own lawyer. Do we have lawyer in the room?

Lawyers but mayana TV shows. But if you if you

have a case and somebody is accusing you, you need

a lawyer. You don't know the law, you don't know

how to defend yourself. But if you have a lawyer,

somebody can defend you. It's interesting because when Jesus talked

about the Holy Spirit, he used the word helper, which

is also which also means advocate, meaning you have a

lawyer to defend you. You know why because in Revelation

it says Satan is the accuser of the brothers, who

accuses us day and night, and one of the reasons

I believe while some while some Christians cannot cannot be

fully released and allow the Holy Spirit to work in

their life is because they are They are in condemnation

or in shame, damning be not but on accusation, damning lies.

Remember what you did, Remember who you are diming. So

we are so bombarded and so no as much as

we want to respond to God, we can. But if

you have the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit remind you

of who you are. He reminds you of God's word.

The Bible says there is now no condemnation for those

who are in Christ Jesus. You make a mistake, you

go to God ask for forgiveness, and the Bible says

He is willing to forgive you and cleanse you. That's

why we can stand, we can be bold, we can

be confident. We're not hiding anything because we have God

as our lord. Not only that, but the word comforter,

and the idea of comforter is not just somebody who

makes you feel good when you're down, but the idea

of somebody helping you find courage and strength so you

can continue when you're down. How many of you hear

you need strength every single day. Me Lattio. We need strength.

There's just so many things we go through and face

in life every single day. That's why one of the

things I do when I'm making disciple is that before

we part ways, I'm just asking God, Lord, what is

one positive thing or good thing that I can speak

into this person's life. Everyone needs encouragement. Everyone needs to

know that God is doing a great work in my

life in spite of all the things that I see

right now, the failures and the shortcomings and the weaknesses

and the imperfections. And the good thing about the Holy

Spirit is that the Holy Spirit is our helper. That's

why we can continue, we can fight, we can follow Jesus.

I like to think of the helper of the Holy

Spirit as a gym trainer. Okay, I used to go

to the gym. You smell me. I still go from

time to time to read newspaper and drink coffee. But

when I was still going to the gym, that was

a Gira trainer. What I like about having a trainer,

and here I'm a gym exercise that was you're so

limited with your strength, you can you can only carry

as much. But if you have a trainer. The good

thing about a trainer merguan spotter that's been a boss

help before you know it. You can actually do the exercise.

You can carry heavier weights, you can stay longer, you

can carry heavier because there's somebody helping you. I am helper.

The help the Holy Spirit is like our helper. Maha

bagin Godly husband, all the husbands say amen, you ma wife,

you know amen. It's not easy to live up pure

in holy life. It's not easy to be generous, it's

not easy to be humble. It's not easy to be

consistent with the things that God has called you to do.

It's not easy to make disciples. What will enable us

to do all these things the power of the Holy

Spirit in our life. That's why we need to learn

to rely on the Holy Spirit. Lord, help me, Holy Spirit,

empower meng Holan. I don't know if somebody, if there

are people who will believe me, but you said I

will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on me,

and I will be an effective witness. I stand on

that promise, so I will go, I will open my

mouth and I will rely on you. Amazing what God

can do when you believe amazing what God can produce

the moment. We believe, whoever believes in me will do

greater things, because I will ask the Father, and he

will give you another helper. And not only that, the

spirit of truth. Wait. Wait, Romans chapter eight, verse eleven.

I can't miss this verse. The Bible says, if the

spirit of Him or raise Jesus from the dead dwells

in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will

also give lifelyer mortal bodies through his spirit that dwells

in you. The same power that sustained Jesus during his

time on earth, and the same power that raised him

from the dead. The Bible says, it's the same power

that is available for us today. Wow. Can you imagine?

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is

the same power resting inside of you? Are you accessing

that power? Are we experiencing the reality of the Holy Spirit?

Are we learning to be led and be empowered by

the Holy Spirit and the last Spirit of truth? First

Corintians chapter two, verse nine to eleven. But as it

is written, what no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

nor the heart of man imagined. What God is prepared

for those who love him you have no idea, I

have no idea the great things that God has in

store for us. I go back to this verse, but

discourage all, Lord, is there something to look forward do?

Is there still something that I can I can expect

from you? When everything seems to be like falling apart

and seemed like this is the end of the road

for me. The Bible says, no eye has seen, no

ear has heard, and no mind is able to conceive

what God has in store for you. You have a

great destiny in God. You have a great future waiting

for you and for me. And that's the truth of

God's word. We need to remind ourselves. We need to

declare that every day, Lord, no I has seen what

You're going to do in my life and through my life.

No ear has heard what You're going to do in

me and through me. No eye is in But sometimes

we fail to understand or see that. But here's what

the Holy Spirit does. This thinks God has revealed to

us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even

the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts

except the spirit of that person which is in him.

So also no one comprehens the thoughts of God except

the Spirit of God. You know what the Holy Spirit does.

The Holy Spirit helps us know who God is and

understand his word. Without the Holy Spirit, we will never

understand the Word of God. How many have you tried

reading the Bible before when you're not yet a Christian?

That's what an in the hand. I tried before. Well,

I'm I mean during that time now, so I'm boring.

I never touch I never want to open it. But

when I be a Christian, something happened. When I receive

the Holy Spirit. Every time I read the Bible, it

convicts me, it inspires me, it encourages me, it gives

me a revelation. I mean, I've been reading the Bible

for almost twenty years, but I will read the same

verse and it's amazing how revelation can come out of it.

We cannot exhaust God. God can speak to us. As

we grow, the Word of God grows as well. We

understand more, we see more. The Holy Spirit helps us

know the truth, and the truth set us free. That's

how we grow grow Because there are so many lives

we believe, and we're living the way the world is

expecting us to live. We're patterning our life to the

world rather than to the word of God. So the

Spirit shows us, enlightens us break the lies of the enemy,

and we're set free and we begin to experience the

reality of God in a greater way. Spirit of truth.

You know if without the Spirit, when we read the Bible,

it's like reading Chinese characters, well Akama in Indian, not

unless Chinese. It's like reading Arabic, or it's like reading

German words. There's no way but word the Lord today

a man, there's no word, there's no but you know

what this Holy Spirit does. There's an app today. I

am sure many of you know this. There's an app

that can translate a different language instantly to English. You

just use this download the app that millennium screen on phone.

But whether that's Chinese or Arabic, it will translate to

you in English. Where where you go in the world,

now you can read because of this app. The Holy

Spirit is the spirit of truth. It helps us see,

It helps us understand the works of God, the things

of God, the plans of God, and what God is

doing in us. That's why we can do greater things

that Christian pourh complains. Christian my purpose Elloyd, how can

you say that? Because now I can see, now, I

can hear, now I can understand. That's the spirit of God.

I mean, if you're grateful for the spirit of God.

If you're not a Christian and you're asking, how do

I get that? There's a verse in the Bible that

says you, fathers, even though you are evil, I'm not

talking about you. I'm talking about your Sydney. Though you

you are evil, you know how to give good gifts

to your children. A comline the Kanda perfect madamikan flo

pero a lemupa pandemic began a gift, Sabin, how much

more me, good Father, if you ask for the Holy Spirit,

I'm going to give you. If you ask for the

Holy Spirit, he will give you. Receive it by faith

and rely on the Holy Spirit every single day.

Know.

The good thing about the Holy Spirit, and I'm going

to end, is that the activity of the Holy Spirit

starts not only when we are when we become Christian

or born again, even when we are still far away

from God. The Holy Spirit is already working, you know.

Saying shut down our spiritual faculties our ability to respond

to God. That explains why when you're not yet a Christian.

The things of God doesn't appeal to you. There's no

desire in you. And then you found yourself being convicted

and having the desire to know God and surrendered to him,

and then you got born again. That word born again,

I used to think was a name for religion, and

then I realized it's in the Bible, and it's Jesus

used that word. And it's not to describe a religion.

It's to describe an experience that needs to happen in

order for us to come alive. We need to be

born again. And now that we are reborn, we can

respond to Him. But the Holy Spirit starts that process.

It never started with you or meet started with the

Holy Spirit. The Bible says when the Spirit of God comes,

he will convict the world, convict you of your sin.

No matter how far away you are from God, you

still feel the conviction. That's why we say it's not

an accident that you're in church. You're here today for

the first time in invitkas I promise Io Papa din

Archetama Churchlam so maam Akhanaman. And you might think it's

a it's an accident. No, the Holy Spirit is drawing

you near to Jesus is at work in your life.

And my prayer is that today will be the start

of you recognizing that and making a decision in your heart. God,

I surrender to you. The Holy Spirit works in our

life to bring us back to Him. Last verse and

verse seventeen, it says the world cannot receive because it

neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him.

If you are walking with God, I hope you know him.

I hope you are. You are walking in the power

of the Holy Spirit. I hope you're being led by

the Spirit. I hope you're learning to train your ears

to listen to the voice, not literally, not audible voice,

but when the Holy Spirit speaks to you. One pastor

stead pay attention to the tension when there's tension in

your heart. When you train your heart to be sensitive

to the Spirit of God, you're learning to walk by

the Spirit. You're learning to rely on the Holy Spirit

when you create, when you discern situation, when you make decisions.

I hope we're learning more and more how to be

led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. You know him,

Paul said, the world, I understand they will not receive

because they don't see. But you know him, you know

the Holy Spirit. I hope we will all grow in

our relationship with the Holy Spirit. But if you are

here today and this is your first time in church

and say, how can I believe something I don't see?

But just because something is invincible doesn't mean it's not real.

We're so used to using art device, the Wi Fi

signal to serve the Internet and to send pictures and

watch videos. It's so normal for us today, but that's

unheard of during our time. Maybe coming on page Arlam.

No YouTube, no Internet, no email, no Instagram. This is

unheard of during our time, but now it's so nor normal.

One of the guys in our victory group, one of

his business is making your house a smart home, where

he will connect the control of your air con and

the lock of your doors, and your music and everything

around your house. He will connect it to your phone

so that wherever you are, whether you're inta guy Tai,

you can control your house in New Manila. You can

lock the doors, you can open the eric on, you

can open the TV. We're so used to that that

same that signal we don't see makes everything works The

Holy Spirit is more real than that Wi Fi signal.

The Holy Spirit is actively moving in and through our lives.

He wants to change us and he wants to use us. Amen,

how many of you hear your prayer is to experience

the reality of the Holy Spirit in a greater way.

We want the Holy Spirit in our lives, and I

want to encourage you for us to make room for

the Holy Spirit. Today. When we say make chroom, we

say we just want to give the Holy Spirit the

opportunity to speak and to work in us, to yield,

to surrender. I don't know what from the things I

preach God is speaking to you today. I don't know

what area of your life. God is speaking to you,

revealing things to you. One thing I know, God is

always at work in our lives. God is always doing something.

God is always changing something. Holy Spirit, We welcome you.

Thank you Lord for your word. Thank you for the

truth that set us free. Thank you Lord for helping

us understand the supernatural. Thank you for creating in us

that desire that longing Lord, God, do to know you

better to do greater things. Thank you for reminding us

of who you are and reminding us of who we

are today. Lord, we want what you want for us,

so we welcome you. Have your way, Have your way. Lord.

In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is represented by fire. Lord.

I pray, Holy Spirit, I pray that you will come

like a fire that if there's any impurities, and if

there's any sin, if there's anything in our heart that

is not pleasing to you, I pray, Holy Spirit, you

will give us that burning desire to get right with you.

I pray that you will burn the impurities and produce

in us a heart that burns for you. Lord. The

Holy Spirit is also represented with the wind in the scripture,

and Holy Spirit, we ask that you will come like

a wind that will refresh us today. I pray for

those who are tired, to those who are weary, to

those who are confused, to those who are at the crossroad.

Holy Spirit, I pray you will come like a fresh wind.

I pray that you will bring fresh faith, just bring

vision to us, revive us, bring us back to life.

I pray that you will awaken us, Lord, and give

us that desire, that sense of greatness of doing great things, Lord,

because that's part of your plan and destiny for us.

So Lord, have your way, Lord, speak to us today.

Stir up our hearts. Lord, you welcome you, We honor

you in Jesus name. Can we all stand right now?

Can we just stand and we'll ask the music team

to lead us and that we're making a declaration today.

Will make room, amen, will make room for the Holy Spirit.

We'll ask for the Holy Spirit to open our eyes.

Holy Spirit, have your way, open our eyes, open our hearts.

We want more of you, God, we want more of you.

You said if we ask you for the Holy Spirit,

you will give it to us. That's the cry of

our hearts today. Lord, in Jesus' name, Amen and amen.
