-

-
Himself to you in a new way today.

-
So we continue our study book of Galatians coming to chapter 5
-
and verses 16 to 26. Has anybody read this passage?
-
One hands going up to three. Are there 3 chocolates?
-
Yeah. Last three to go.
-
No problem. That is good, very good.
-
Before I go into the sermon, I want to give you a story.
-
If you understand the story, you understand the Bible passage.
-
Sometimes, you know, we can talk a lot, but it's difficult to
-
retain what we hear in a message.
-
If it is a story, you will not forget it.
-
So there is a man, let's say his name is Dan, Daniel.
-
Dan has been a very good manager in the sense at the work he was
-
very, very accurate in his details and efficient.
-
But also he was having bursts of anger.
-
He would burst out and hurt people who are under him and
-
because of that it was becoming difficult.
-
Basically, you know, for all the people are walking on egg shells
-
because we don't know when he is going to lose it and he is
-
thinking that he is a some people think he is a
-
perfectionist. Therefore he loses it.
-
And he himself thinks because he is, he wants everything done
-
accurately, perfectly and people are not doing it.
-
That's why he is trying to enforce it as a manager by
-
showing anger. So one day one lady who was
-
working under him, let's call her name Jane or some kind of a
-
name, and she has deleted one whole weeks of his hard work.
-
All the data she deleted by accident.
-
So she got this Daniel called her and fired her before the
-
whole team humiliated her and she was into tears and good for
-
nothing. Kind of a feeling she he made
-
her feel. And so far that's all OK.
-
And then he goes home in the evening and is standing is
-
parked the car on the driveway. It doesn't feel like going into
-
the house. Why?
-
Because of his temper, everything has been disturbed in
-
his life, relationships, children don't sit with him in
-
the dining hall or on the couch or for conversation anymore.
-
Wife is very unhappy with him at work.
-
People are unhappy with him. And having put down this Lady
-
Jane, he was feeling overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly
-
guilty for what he has done. So he sat there in the car and
-
he said, God, I have come to the end of my life, can you please
-
help me? And he opens the Bible and he
-
reads that verse, those who belong to Jesus.
-
Sorry, verse 16. So I say live by the Spirit and
-
you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
-
When he read it and cried out to God, the Holy Spirit ministered
-
to him. And then after some time, he
-
went back to, I mean, he when he goes to the office next day, he
-
called her, apologized to her. She was shocked beyond belief.
-
This man, how can he apologize? And he apologized.
-
And then after some time, the people are able, the in the
-
family, they were saying, hey, something is different about
-
that. And children were sitting with
-
him, having a chat with him and wife was connecting with him.
-
Well, and the employees and this whole, the same Lady Jane came
-
up to him one day and said, I want to tell you something is
-
different about you in a good way.
-
So it all began with realizing that he has anger issues and he
-
has to crucify this old nature and be ministered by the Holy
-
Spirit. And this transformation brought
-
everything into his life. If you like the story, shout
-
Hallelujah because we all need that kind of a transformation at
-
some point or the other. So in verse 16 you see here, so
-
I say live by the Spirit. Actually in some transit says
-
walk by the spirit. So what is walk?
-
You will see this word walk probably used 50 times in the
-
New Testament, 49 times. I am rounding it up 50 times.
-
So walk stands for your lifestyle.
-
Say walk stands for your lifestyle.
-
So your lifestyle should be characterized by what?
-
By the Spirit? Walk by the Spirit.
-
Now how often do you do it? Do it once in a week.
-
One day in the morning, God take over my life and forget about
-
it. Rest of the day.
-
It's not going to happen like that.
-
The best phrase I have come across in my life to explain
-
this phenomena is lifting your empty hands by faith and
-
depending on the Holy Spirit, movement by movement.
-
Everybody say movement by movement.
-
There is no other way. There is no other way, because
-
when we are born again, you have got before you are born again,
-
you have the old sinful nature, atomic nature that causes you to
-
think, act in ways that are contrary to God's will, contrary
-
to God's commandment, contrary to God's character, and that is
-
the sinful nature. There is an inclination within
-
every human heart to do wrong, not right.
-
So when you believe in Jesus, now you have this old nature and
-
a new nature is imparted to you. God's own life is imparted to
-
your spirit. So now how many natures?
-
You have two natures side by side, they are side by side in
-
you. But when you lift your hand and
-
say, Holy Spirit help me, Holy Spirit help me, Holy Spirit help
-
me, When you do that simple prayer, you say it 100 * 1000
-
times in a day, it doesn't matter.
-
He helps and the old nature will be down and the new nature will
-
be up. Does it make sense?
-
So walking by the Spirit is depending on the Holy Spirit and
-
drawing your power and the motivation and the sustenance,
-
sustenance, grace by lifting your empty hands.
-
Say empty hands. Why empty hands?
-
It is not by your effort. You are not going to say to
-
yourself 100 times in a day, I don't want to be angry.
-
I don't want to be angry. I don't want to be angry.
-
You are not going to do anything like that.
-
You are not going to achieve victory over anger by saying I
-
don't want to be angry. No, instead you lift your empty
-
hands and say, God, I cannot do it.
-
Holy Spirit, can you please do it?
-
Bang, you get the power. Does it make sense now?
-
So this whole thing, you know, I can be stuck on that one verse
-
and not finish the chapter, but I want to do let's see how much
-
we can cover today. But I just want to do it.
-
So I say live or walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify
-
the desires of the sinful nature.
-
Now gratify, say the word gratify.
-
What is gratify? It is to do it or satisfy.
-
Basically there is a word in Greek which which the word is
-
telisete. Telisete in Greek means gratify.
-
This is from the time of your imagination in your In your
-
imagination you decide to do something from the thought from
-
the time of your thought till its completion.
-
That word telesete covers it. Am I communicating?
-
Let's say last night I really was not hungry, but there were
-
muffins on that on the on the table.
-
So I said I will go help myself and eat a muffin.
-
So the thought came into my mind, I go there and I remove
-
that sheet of paper covering it. I said I don't need this and put
-
the car back. I walked away.
-
Let us say I ate the muffin. From the time I get thought till
-
the time you eat. That is telesated.
-
Am I communicating it? Yeah.
-
Now with God. Think about it.
-
When Christ shouted on the cross.
-
Telestai. I think it is the word.
-
Is this the same word? Greek word telestated.
-
Whatever is a Greek word, it is finished.
-
He shouted from the cross. It is finished when He said that
-
that is the plan from the ages before God created the whole
-
world. He is a lamb that is laid before
-
the foundation of the world, and that lamb entered the world and
-
he died upon the cross. And when he before he gave up
-
his spirit, he shouted, It is finished.
-
Felicity, that idea of God, salvation for humankind is
-
finished. And today when we were singing,
-
John said one word, His promises never fail.
-
We sang, He will not let me down.
-
I tell you that song is very powerful, very powerful.
-
When you sing that song again, when you go home and sing that
-
song, what is the promise that God had made to you?
-
What is the purpose of your existence?
-
God will not fail to do it. He has shouted from the cross it
-
is finished and it is finished for each one of us.
-
God's plan and purpose is finished and His purpose is
-
finished. For Omega.
-
It will be done. There is a season, there is a
-
place, there is a time when God says He is.
-
If he gives a promise, he is going to do it and he has said
-
to me, I am sending a tsunami and it will sweep through the
-
churches. A revival will come.
-
Is it going to come? You do not see it.
-
It will come and those who wait for it and depend on God will
-
partake in the revival. So only what we need to do is to
-
stand on it and say God, you have said it, you told Ramana
-
that you are going to send a tsunami, you are going to send a
-
revival. We stand up on it, we receive
-
it, we see it by faith and we receive it by faith.
-
Telisette is that intention of God has been communicated and it
-
will be done. Does it make sense?
-
This is how you live your own life.
-
What is it that God promised to you?
-
It is done. Say it is done.
-
Shout it out. So here you will not gratify the
-
desires of the sinful nature. So you think of the sinful
-
nature. The idea gets into your mind to
-
do commits in and. But when you walk in the Spirit,
-
you will not gratify. You will not make it true.
-
You will not end up doing the very thing that you don't want
-
to do. It will not happen in the Greek
-
language when you see it, the double negative there.
-
No, not you will not gratify, you will not satisfy the desires
-
of your flesh. No.
-
So does he mean that you will never sin?
-
What he means here is habitual sin.
-
You do today, you do tomorrow, you do next week and you do next
-
month. You do next year.
-
That is habitually you are doing sin.
-
If you are a believer, you will not do it.
-
We have to put a stop. We can do something for 10
-
years. 20 years doesn't mean we have to keep doing it.
-
But I tell you, when we are born again, when you understand what
-
salvation is, there will be a deep crying out to the deep.
-
You will have a your spirit crying out to God.
-
Why do I fail you? Why do I sin against you?
-
Is there no victory for me? And when you are crying out in
-
your heart, the Holy Spirit says, no, no, that's not your
-
end. I will give you victory, but
-
sometimes we don't get victory until we say I have come to the
-
end of my rope. Will you please help me, Holy
-
Spirit? So Paul is writing to Galatians
-
who have been baptized by the Holy Spirit.
-
They were speaking in tongues, but can people who speak in
-
tongues commit sin? Can they get angry?
-
They can. What I am trying to say here is
-
that you are not exempt and holiness and sanctification are
-
not automatic. You just do not because you are
-
a believer. You will never get angry, you
-
will never do mistake, never, never tell a lie.
-
It does not happen, but you tell lie today, tomorrow day, after
-
every week, every month. I question whether you know God,
-
if you know that Jesus is your Saviour.
-
It cannot be a habitual 1 cannot be done all time.
-
So we have to come back to God and say, hey my Lord, please can
-
you give me victory over this and what happened to Daniel can
-
happen to us. You will be transformed and
-
become a source of comfort to people and blessing to many
-
people. Cool and verse 17.
-
There is a struggle between this old nature and the new nature.
-
Verse 17 says for the sinful nature desires what is contrary
-
to the Spirit and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful
-
nature. They are in conflict with each
-
other so that you do not do what you want.
-
That means there is a desire to do right, but we don't do right.
-
We are ending up doing wrong because there is a conflict
-
going on. Old nature and the new nature
-
but the way to overcoming nature is to let or count ourselves
-
dead with Christ crucified with Christ, which he talks about in
-
later verse. I think he talks about it in
-
verse 24. Those who belong to Christ Jesus
-
have crucified the sinful nature which is passions and desires.
-
It is not bland. Experience is passion and there
-
is desire which is strong to do wrong.
-
But we have crucified the passions and desires.
-
Basically, when Jesus died, he just did not die only as Jesus,
-
but he died as every man and woman.
-
He died in your place, my place. The death he died is vicarious
-
suffering. Vicarious suffering means he
-
suffer for you and me instead of we suffering on the cross.
-
He took the suffering. He died and when he died, I
-
died. When he died, you have died.
-
That is what it is. And Paul talks about it more,
-
more in depth. He talks about it in Romans
Romans 6 chapter mention
-
chapter 6. When he was crucified, we are
-
crucified with him. When he was buried, we are
-
buried with him. When he was raised, we are
-
raised up with him. We are one with Christ.
-
And when you believe it with all your heart, that old nature
-
cannot have dominion over you anymore.
-
You will put it under your feet and stample it down and say end
-
of it. I am set free from it.
-
So when he is talking in verse 16, live by the Spirit and you
-
will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
-
He is giving an assurance that as long as you depend on Holy
-
Spirit, as long as you lift your empty hands, as long as you
-
depend on the Holy Spirit, you will have victory.
-
You will have victory, but there are times you are going to fail.
-
However, you are so focused on not committing a sin, suddenly
-
you find yourself. You slipped and you fell
-
already. Then we have 1 John chapter 2.
1 John 2 chapter mention
-
If anybody sins, we have an advocate with the father.
-
You go to him and say, Lord, I'm sorry, I missed it.
-
Please forgive me. Wash me in your blood.
-
And he says, my son, my daughter takes you back and keep walking
-
with him again. Now, you know, as you age, some
-
things will not have the same kind of power they had when you
-
were in your 20s, when you were in teen, teen years.
-
Some things are very, very powerful emotions and the way
-
you get attracted to certain things, very powerful.
-
And it may not happen to me now in this age, but I have grown,
-
gone through that kind of a stage where I would fall every
-
day and cry out to God. Why?
-
Why? I don't want to do it, but why
-
do I do it? That's what Paul is saying here,
-
because this tension is in the in the old nature.
-
The new nature is there. You will not, you will do what
-
you do not want to do. But when you reckon yourself
-
dead with crash, when you reckon yourself crucified with Christ,
-
that old nature is crucified already, is being made
-
inoperative, is being made effective, less of, no effect at
-
all, and it's been nullified, it's been cancelled.
-
And you need to count upon it. And every time you feel that
-
push, that kind of a pull, that kind of attraction, you say to
-
yourself, you Ramana, you have died.
-
How come you live for it again? And you?
-
Overcome because you depend on the Holy Spirit to give you
-
victory. OK, so we talked about the
-
conflict and verse 18 again, he affirms if you are led by the
-
Spirit, you are not under the law.
-
That means what? It doesn't mean you will break
-
the law. It means you fulfill the law.
-
How do you fulfill the law? You must be led by the Holy
-
Spirit. We are led by the Holy Spirit.
-
You will fulfill the law. So now in order to illustrate
-
what Paul is trying to communicate, the old nature, the
-
new nature, He talks about the acts of the sinful nature are
-
obvious. That means what they.
-
There are some since we commit in private, nobody is watching
-
you do it in your own room or. Use your physical body or your
-
phone or whatever it is you are engaged with.
-
We commit some private sins, but every private sin will
-
ultimately come into the public at some point or the other.
-
You cannot hide sin. We cannot hide our sin.
-
It will come out. It spill out into the public.
-
You do something, you say something and people know that.
-
Oh, he has a problem, she has a problem.
-
It will come out, It will come out.
-
So he gives you a list of things, the acts of the sinful
-
nature obvious. So he gives you sexual
-
immorality, impurity, and debauchery.
-
All three he gives are connected with sex.
-
It is all kinds. I will give you a brief
-
explanation of it. To the yeah.
-
The Greek word used here is porneia, from which you get the
-
word pornography. Porn is the Greek word porneia
-
that encompasses all forms of illicit sexual activity,
-
including adultery, fornication, and homosexuality.
-
Everything is included there. Every deviation is included
-
there. All those 3 words and
-
particularly the one word porneia includes all and then
-
impurity refers to moral uncleanness in thought, word and
-
deed. It begins in the thought and
-
then sometimes you speak and then you do.
-
All is coming is included in the word impurity and the lastly the
-
sensuality. Sensuality is debauchery or
-
asal. Gaya in Greek denotes a lack of
-
self restraint, often manifesting in excessive
-
indulgence in sensual pleasures. That can be too much of
-
drinking, too much of sex, too much of everything.
-
That is excessive indulgence. And that is what the third word,
-
sensuality, all talks about. It implies A shamelessness and a
-
disregard for decency. You, I mean, a person will stop
-
thinking about is it right or wrong, can I do in public or
-
not? They just do not forget about
-
all decency and they are drunk and they can strip themselves in
-
public because they have lost their sense of decency.
-
And the next ones is you got idolatry and sorcery, verse 20,
-
idolatry and witchcraft. And these two, they are false
-
religion based on false religion.
-
When you bow down to an idol, you are actually bowing down to
-
what is not God. So idolatry is worshipping what
-
is not God. And secondly, sorcery or
-
witchcraft is dealing with the demonic, the accord and all
-
these things happen because we do not have a right relationship
-
with God. We don't know the right God S
-
you end up doing the wrong thing.
-
Sometimes people are longing for authentication.
-
They are longing for self authentication.
-
That's the word psyche in psychology.
-
Use the word self authentication.
-
You want to feel that you are living out your life.
-
So what do you do? Do the wrong thing to feel that
-
you are existing, you have a right, you are sovereign over
-
the decisions you make and then you want to show that
-
sovereignty by doing the wrong thing and mess up ones life.
-
So that is the thing about about it.
-
And then this leads to a list of other things that he is talking
-
about. Enmity, jealousy, fits of anger,
-
rivalries, divisions, envy, all these things connected with
-
relationships. Every relationship, family,
-
spouse, children, employees, Co workers, community, everything
-
is upset there. So.
-
Enmity, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, all these things.
-
They breakdown relationships and ultimately talks about
-
drunkenness, orgies and similar things.
-
This is is talking about self indulgence.
-
It is. Completely.
-
You are drowning in satisfying your desires 100% You live for
-
yourself 100% or more 200% and that is leading to drunkenness
-
and orgies. In the Roman world it was very
-
common for people to drink evening, Daytime, the soldiers
-
and all, you know, they are busy doing their job, but evening is
-
the time to relax. They drunk, they get drunk, and
-
once they get drunk, they also go to places where there is
-
something like a dancing, strip, dancing.
-
And you know, people go there and indulge in things and they
-
lose a sense of decency and they them just strip because they are
-
drunk. So Paul is talking to his
-
generation and I tell you it is no more different today.
-
Today the society is no more different, it just talks to the
-
present time. So how do you know these are the
-
acts of the flesh or the acts of the sinful nature?
-
Can you hide any of it? Can you hide your envy?
-
Can you hide your pride? Can you hide any of those
-
things? Jealousy, fits of rage, it all
-
comes out. You cannot hide it.
-
You cannot be jealous about somebody and keep it private to
-
yourself. It will come out in the words
-
you speak, the deeds you do. It comes out and nothing can be
-
hidden there. Ambition, dissensions, factions,
-
You are creating division. You cannot divide silently.
-
It will spill out in the public. Cool.
-
Now this is acts of the sinful nature.
-
He uses the word plural acts is not act.
-
But when you want to talk about the fruit of the Holy Spirit
-
doesn't say fruits, he says fruit singular.
-
The word is. Singular one fruit, but its
-
manifestations are several. So it.
-
Manifests. How does it manifest?
-
The fruit of the Spirit is Lovejoy, peace, patience,
-
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
-
self-control. Against such, there is no law.
-
What is he trying to say when he says there is no law against
-
such things? It means you fulfill the law
-
100%. When you do these things, it is
-
like you are driving in a zone of 50 kilometer speed limit.
-
You are going at 50, you don't break the law.
-
If you go at 20, you may break the law by stopping the traffic,
-
you may be pulled over by the cops.
-
Hey, why are you going too slow? But in the spiritual realm, in
-
the moral realm, there is no going slow.
-
This is only talking about more than 50.
-
You will be fined. Same way when you do the acts of
-
the sinful nature, we draw God's condemnation.
-
But if you are moving in love, which is the agape, Agape is the
-
highest form of love, which is unselfish, which is other
-
centered, helpful, loving, and that is agape.
-
You do not live for yourself, but to lift somebody else, and
-
that is agape. And when you have love, that
-
kind of a love, and then you have joy and peace, joy and
-
peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, they
-
all reflect the nature of God. The more you demonstrate these
-
qualities, you look more like Jesus Christ.
-
You can never demonstrate these qualities and be condemned by
-
the community. That guy horrible, he shows so
-
much of love and no one condemns you like that.
-
But any of the other things that you do, acts of the sinful
-
nature, you will be hated by people.
-
They will condemn you for that, but if for doing the good
-
things, no one condemns you and you are fulfilling the law, that
-
is what he means. So now we come to is the clock
-
or stop? Correct.
-
I am thinking I am having plenty of time still.
-
So now verse 24, Those who belong to crises have crucified
-
the sinful nature, which is passions and desires.
-
Since we. Live by the Spirit.
-
Let us keep in step with the Holy Spirit.
-
Now this is a very beautiful word, keeping in step with the
-
Holy Spirit. I am sure you all have watched
-
when soldiers walk in unison. You know they will.
-
The stride, you know the length of the step is the same.
-
One will not put the leg like this, another just puts like
-
this, it doesn't happen. It is the keep in step.
-
One puts step and another puts next second doesn't happen.
-
All put the step at the same time.
-
That is what is being being in harmony.
-
So when you are keeping in step with the Holy Spirit you will do
-
right. You have to know the frequency.
-
You know the beat goes on when the when the army is marching,
-
there's a beat dumb, dumb, dumb, and everybody follows it and
-
keeps in step with that beat. Same way you and I must be in
-
tune with that beat of the Holy Spirit and walk and keep in step
-
with him. And when you keep in step with
-
him, everything will go OK. Everything will go OK.
-
And because of that, there will be harmony IN the community.
-
Because you walk in step with the Holy Spirit, it brings
-
harmony IN the community. See what Paul writes in verse
-
25. Since we live by the Spirit, let
-
us keep in step with the Spirit. Verse 26.
-
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each
-
other. If there is no conceit, there's
-
no pride because you're keeping in step with the Holy Spirit.
-
When there's no pride, there's no conceit.
-
There's no provoking and envying.
-
You don't provoke somebody with words or deeds.
-
Now we will be doing envying each other.
-
We don't envy somebody else and do things to hurt them.
-
We don't do it. So keeping in step with the Holy
-
Spirit is the antidote to living a useless life.
-
We are not good to anybody when we are in keeping with step with
-
the Holy Spirit. We are good for everybody.
-
You will be a blessing to everyone.
-
So this is very, very important. So now we have to sum up and see
-
some of the things. What did Jesus say we should
-
deal with? How do we deal with your own old
-
nature? In Luke 9/23 he said, then he
-
said to the mall, whoever wants to be my disciple must deny
-
themselves, take up their cross daily and follow me.
-
Luke 923 is very very powerful. So how do you understand denying
-
what is meant by denying yourself?
-
That is Jesus formula for living in holiness, in sanctification.
-
Deny yourself. What did Peter do when he was
-
following Jesus? When when Jesus was being tried
-
in Hearer's house, Oregon, in any other court or priest house,
-
One lady. One little.
-
Girl will see the servant girl and look at Peter.
-
I think you are with him. You are one of the disciples, he
-
said. No, no, no, I don't know him.
-
And afterward another lady looks at him.
-
I am sure you are one of his disciples, he said.
-
Lady, I do not know what you are talking about.
-
I do not know Him at all. I do not know Him at all.
-
I do not know him at all. That is He denied Jesus how many
-
times? Three times?
-
He denied. So what?
-
We have to do is. We have to deny ourselves.
-
We have to deny. Ourselves, our old nature, our
-
sinful nature, we have to deny it.
-
I am I have I have used. This example before many times I
-
suppose its I talk about Augustine, Saint Augustine he
-
had a living relationship. Much before the time this.
-
Is not a modern times problem much before I think it was 4th
-
century Augustine was, I mean a great St.
-
Later on he became a great St. and he wrote a City of God.
-
He wrote many other things and one of the books he wrote is
-
Augustine's Confessions, his own confessions.
-
There is a book, you read it, it will be very enlightening.
-
So he had a child through a lady.
-
He lived. With her had a child.
-
And then he moved city for some reason.
-
Then he became a Christian and then he was walking on the
-
street one day and this lady chanced to see him and she
-
started following him, saying Oh Augustine, oh Augustine, oh
-
Augustine, he can recognize the voice, but he will he will deny
-
it and say I got nothing to do with the lady because it is past
-
is no more present anymore. So he kept walking without
-
shopping. So she ran and came in front of
-
him, knelt down and said, Oh, Augustine, don't you recognize
-
me? So Augustine said.
-
That Augustine is dead. And he walked off.
-
Denying yourself is to be like Augustine, your own nature.
-
What can be most more appealing, more than your sinful fleshly
-
demands? But you deny it.
-
Say I don't know you. I am dead.
-
It was. History it is.
-
History. It is no more belonging to the
-
present time. I have died with Christ.
-
So you deny? That is what it is like.
-
When you deny yourself. You are rejecting self
-
sovereignty and submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
-
What is self sovereignty? I am thing of my own life, I
-
have a right to do what I like. Who are you to question me?
-
I will do whatever I like, the self sovereignty.
-
But when you deny yourself you say no.
-
I submit to the lordship of Jesus and you become a servant.
-
Are we together OK? Whoever denies me before.
-
Men will be denied before the angels of God.
-
He talks about it again in Luke 12, nine and Matthew 1033.
-
If you don't acknowledge me before people, I will not
-
acknowledge before my Father, before the angels of God South.
-
This is a very strong. Word, very strong word.
-
We have to live consciously depending on Christ, lifting our
-
empty hands in faith, asking for help with the Holy Spirit.
-
Lord, I need your help. I need your help to overcome my
-
sinful nature. I need your help to not to lose
-
myself anymore in the areas I have lost before.
-
I want to gain victory. And you lift your empty hands
-
and cry out to him, movement by movement.
-
And He will be. He is faithful and He will set
-
you free. He will make you walk in
-
freedom. Holy Spirit is God.
-
So many. Times we think less.
-
Of the Holy Spirit in our minds, consciously or unconsciously.
-
You think Holy Spirit is just like a bonus.
-
He's there. Don't take it for granted.
-
Don't take it for granted. Last last week one night I got
-
into the bed, 1:00 in the night I went into the bed and I said
-
God, you are holy, Father, God you are holy, Jesus you are
-
holy, Holy Spirit you are holy, you are equal and you are Co
-
eternal, coexistent, equality, be loud, worshiped, obeyed.
-
I was just thinking about how Holy Spirit is God and suddenly
-
I see three huge figures and I see a small fence and justice
-
next to the fence I see a big jet standing there.
-
I said this. Is amazing is.
-
Amazing say when you lift up the name of Jesus, when you connect
-
with the Holy Spirit, when you say you are God, what you are
-
saying is that I want you to take over my life and then He
-
will show you what He wants to show you about your future life.
-
We have. Reading the Bible, it's very
-
dull, boring experience. I had to read it.
-
I will go on Facebook for a while, you know, or do something
-
on YouTube. That's more appealing.
-
That's I. Would have if I if Paul is
-
writing today, he would put that there social media. 100% is one
-
of the. What do you call them?
-
Acts of the sinful nature. It comes there very much, but I
-
tell you. When you feed on.
-
This word, when you feel on the word and say, My Lord, this is
-
bread for me. This is my.
-
Bread I'm eating. It now it's like honey, I'm
-
going to enjoy it and then it releases life into you Bible.
-
Reading will not be boring. Anymore I just, you know.
-
That one word. Changed my whole week.
-
Gratify. Telicity means from the time of
-
thinking to its completion. That word describes it, and God
-
does everything in that way. Felicity, before the foundation
-
of the world, He has seen you. He has called forth that you may
-
believe in Jesus, that you may become like Jesus, that you may
-
walk in Him, that you may keep in step with the Holy Spirit,
-
that you will overcome the sinful nature, that you will
-
walk in holiness, and you will be like Jesus and impact your
-
community. Felicity, it is done already.
-
He has decreed it. Do you want?
-
To keep in step with. Him shall we go?
-
Ahead in prayer. Thank you, Lord.
-
Thank you Jesus. It is saying no to the sinful.
-
Nature and yes, to the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
-
It is not just one thing. All nine things we have to grow
-
into it. That is a test.
-
The test is are we growing in the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
-
If you are not growing in the fruit of the Holy Spirit, then
-
we are indulging in the sinful acts.
-
So. We have.
-
It's time. To come to God and say my Lord I
-
want to change. I am not having victory.
-
Please Holy Spirit help me. I cannot strive in my strength
-
anymore. I have come to the end of my
-
fight. Please take over.
-
And that's your cry and you want to reflect Jesus in your own
-
heart in your life. You want to bear this fruit of
-
the Holy Spirit. Just stand where you are and say
-
to the Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit, take over my life.
-
I want to pray with you. You surrender to absolutely
-
surrender and we. Had the first song.
-
Create in me a clean heart. Oh God, that should be our cry.
-
It should be the cry like the second song with sung as a deer.
-
Pantas for the cool water. So my soul pantas after you,
-
longs for you, and that's your cry.
-
And you want the Holy Spirit help just stand where you are.
-
And I want to pray with you. Savarasi sektari mahasarani
-
bandarano hora boshi samarani sektarasta koroni.
-
The Lord says whoever is grabbing me now, I am breaking
-
your chains and breaking the barrier and breaking what is
-
holding you back in the name of Jesus.
-
Re sabasta re sando honama sakte rahari marasa kurando samarana
-
sestre shabasta row horako Sheikh tanamasta kurani robust
-
sonamasta kurani. The Lord says I will fight your
-
battle, I will set you free from satanic attacks, I will make you
-
into my likeness and I will give you strength.
-
Thank. You, Lord Father, for your.
-
Words Now, Father, those who want to be touched by you, now I
-
invite the Holy Spirit, whoever is crying out in his heart, I
-
pray Holy Spirit, you will touch them now, touch them now, touch
-
them now, touch them now, touch them now.
-
Holy Ghost, Come with power upon them, come with power and glory,
-
power and glory, power and glory, power and glory.
-
Let your glory come, let your glory come, let your glory come.
-
Touch your children now in the name of Jesus.
-
Thank you Lord again. We praise your Father, Bless
-
this word. In Jesus mighty name we ask,
-
Amen. Amen.
