  1. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Love Quest International

  2. Church Podcast where we seek to love all nations, equip the

  3. church, mobilize the equipped, and serve all.

  4. We're super glad you're joining us from whenever and wherever

  5. you're at in the world. Welcome to the family to get

  6. your Bibles ready, get some water, get some coffee, maybe

  7. some tea, and get ready to receive.

  8. It's go time. Let's get into it.

  9. It feels, really. Good in the room church I'm.

  10. So excited to be here. If you do not know me, my name

  11. is Dylan. I'm one of the ordained.

  12. Pastors here at Love Quest. International Church and I thank

  13. you. I am so excited to have this

  14. opportunity to hold this microphone and share.

  15. A word that the Lord. Put on my heart for each and

  16. everyone of you, and I just pray that it in.

  17. It helps Jesus Christ. Manifest in your own personal

  18. life. The goal of a believer of Jesus

  19. Christ is that. We become like.

  20. Christ that our life is. So united.

  21. To the life of Christ, that we do the.

  22. Same works that Jesus did and greater.

  23. Because that's what Jesus said. Is in our future.

  24. For those that follow Christ. According to Mark 16, he says

  25. those who believe in my name, they shall do the same works and

  26. greater. And so I'm believing that the

  27. same works that Jesus did on earth manifest in each and every

  28. one of our lives here on this church.

  29. Why? Because there is a lost.

  30. And dying world that needs to know.

  31. Of the love of God. That needs to see Jesus Christ

  32. tangibly. At work.

  33. Here on Earth, in their life. And so that's what.

  34. We gather. For is to become more like.

  35. Christ, we gather so that. We can be built up under the

  36. words so that we can scatter and make an impact in our nation.

  37. Amen. Amen.

  38. So I'm just going to begin. Dave, you can put 30. 5 minutes

  39. on the. Clock.

  40. That'd be great. I'm just going to begin by just

  41. thanking our pastors, Pastor Terrence and Pastor Julia.

  42. Excuse me, Pastor Julia, for entrusting me with this

  43. opportunity. I do not.

  44. Take it lightly that they would. Hand the microphone to me and

  45. say we trust what's in you to share and and and give a word

  46. that's going to. Equip.

  47. And build up the church. And so I'm just grateful for

  48. pastors that love me enough, that have equipped me, that

  49. mobilized me in the. Gifts of the of.

  50. The Lord that are on my life so that I can be a blessing, so

  51. that I can. Serve you guys.

  52. With what the Lord gave me. So thank you, Pastor T and.

  53. Pastor Julia, just for your. Trust in myself now who knows

  54. that there is an exciting word, prophetic word that is going

  55. forth in our house right now. This word that the wind is

  56. blowing, the wind is blowing. This is an exciting word.

  57. Because the. Spirit is often referred to.

  58. As. The wind in the word.

  59. Of God. But the wind is.

  60. Also referred to as. Turmoil when we look at when

  61. the. Disciples are in a boat.

  62. Crossing the lake, the wind kicks up and it really tests and

  63. tries their faith. In that moment, Jesus likens

  64. someone who lives according to the Word and builds their life

  65. on the Word as a man who built his house on the rock and the

  66. wind. The turmoil will come to try

  67. that foundation and the rain comes, but the house that is

  68. built on the Word of God shall stand through the turmoil.

  69. And so this wind blowing is exciting.

  70. It is exciting. For those who are rooted in

  71. Christ. The thing with the wind?

  72. Is it? It has the ability to both

  73. quench a fire, put a fire out if there's.

  74. Too much if you if you put too much oxygen into.

  75. A fire at the early. Stage You can actually blow that

  76. thing out like you blow out a birthday candle, but the right

  77. amount of oxygen and wind comes. To give life to that fire.

  78. And and 'cause that thing to burn bright and.

  79. Establish that fire. And so I just believe that wind

  80. is a good thing. Wind is a good thing for those

  81. who are hungry. Those who are excited, those who

  82. are ready. For the wind to.

  83. Blow like a. Sailboat setting its sails for

  84. the wind to fold it and take it where that wind is going.

  85. That is US. Church at this hour.

  86. And so another thing I wanted to.

  87. Share as I was. Preparing the word and just

  88. listening to the word going forth, I think, man, the word

  89. of. God is for the.

  90. House, yes, but it ministers to each and every one of us

  91. individually. And I just thought to myself,

  92. Lord, what does the wind meant to me in in my life so far?

  93. And some of you may know I by trade am a power lineman.

  94. OK, I'm called. As a preacher of the gospel,

  95. that's what I. Want to be doing full time but

  96. in the meantime, as Paul made tense, I fixed power lines.

  97. So. That I can afford to live in

  98. this beautiful city that we call home.

  99. And so when the wind blows, that's when I often go to work

  100. because the power line. Is affected.

  101. By wind blow OK, branches fall, trees come down and just old

  102. power system. It fails when the wind blows and

  103. so. I.

  104. Started thinking about what this means.

  105. The wind blows and. We as the people of God are

  106. called to. Bring the power.

  107. Of God to the people. Much like a lineman has the job

  108. to bring. Power electricity to the people.

  109. And my job as a lineman is to maintain the power lines to

  110. ensure that the power is flowing.

  111. And each and everyone of. Us, we have.

  112. An an obligation to make sure that the.

  113. Power is. Flowing in our life.

  114. Jesus says that you will. Know a tree by its fruit there

  115. should be evidence of the power working in US, flowing through

  116. us. And so as I just meditated on

  117. this word, I understand that being a.

  118. Follower of Christ. Is not all easy all the time.

  119. The moment you. Say yes to the Lord.

  120. It invites opposition coming your way simultaneously.

  121. As of as the Blessed blessed hope assure.

  122. Blessed assurance of the hope that we have in Christ.

  123. There is opposition. And so Pastor has been preaching

  124. also on this. Subject that we are to.

  125. Battle and. Build as followers of Christ.

  126. There at the same time that we are building the Kingdom with a

  127. shovel in our hand. We are also to be.

  128. Battling against the opposition in the spirit realm that's

  129. coming to slow us down. And so this night I'm going to

  130. continue to preach on this subject.

  131. Battle and build. With the subtitle purified for

  132. power. And here we go with my power

  133. lines in the background there. As that visual so tonight.

  134. Join with me. As I take you through this word

  135. I believe I got from the Lord. We're going to continue to

  136. unpack, battle, and build Purified.

  137. For. Power, and in this context I

  138. more so want to. Speak to the believer that as he

  139. follows Christ, what it looks like to battle.

  140. And to build as a. Follower of Christ, Paul wrote

  141. to the Church of the. Ephesians to each of the.

  142. Followers. His desire was that the

  143. followers. Become like Christ, as we've

  144. been talking about. So.

  145. Far and this is a. Powerful, powerful prayer.

  146. That Paul gets on his knees and. Prays for the Church of of

  147. Ephesus. He says for this.

  148. Reason I bow my knees to the. Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  149. From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that

  150. he would grant you. According to the riches of his

  151. glory. To be strengthened with might.

  152. Through His spirit. In the inner man that Christ may

  153. dwell in your. Hearts through faith that you.

  154. Being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend

  155. with all the Saints. What is the width?

  156. And length and depth and height to.

  157. Know the love of Christ. Which passes knowledge that you

  158. may be. Filled turn, your neighbors say.

  159. That you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

  160. And so that was a lot, but what we see.

  161. Here Paul is praying that God himself.

  162. Would grant you to be. Strengthened by His spirit in

  163. your spirit, in your inner man, and that you would come to this

  164. encounter. With the love of God to the

  165. point that. Jesus Christ would remain sat on

  166. the throne of your. Heart that Jesus would, truly.

  167. Be your Lord and Savior. That you'd be so.

  168. Rooted in this love and that you would know this love that's

  169. greater than you'll ever be able to understand.

  170. So that you can be. Filled with the fullness of God,

  171. he's talking about an encounter with the love of God and the.

  172. Help of the Holy Ghost to keep. You rooted in that love.

  173. To keep. You rooted in that love, and so

  174. this is a phenomenal scripture. This is a powerful prayer that I

  175. of all the. Prayers in the Bible I.

  176. Probably pray this all right play I I.

  177. Pray Psalm 23 a lot. Too, But if this is a powerful

  178. prayer. That I pray for myself and those

  179. that I'm truly believe in, for each and everyone of you to grow

  180. in the things of the Lord. This.

  181. Is a powerful prayer, but something was really highlighted

  182. about this prayer. It's the next.

  183. Scripture don't turn to it. Yet but.

  184. The Who? Who knows?

  185. That the word of God is alive. That it is.

  186. Living and that it is active and man, you can look at the same

  187. scripture 112 times and on the 113th time the Lord just reveals

  188. something totally new and fresh and different to you.

  189. Well, it's the. Scripture next here verse 20.

  190. Paul goes on to say now to him who is able to do exceedingly

  191. abundantly. Above all that we could.

  192. Ask or think, and that's where the states.

  193. Start shouting and saying yeah yeah God do it.

  194. But the last few words are what really popped out at me.

  195. Here in this word, Saints. It's he tagged, he tagged.

  196. Onto it by saying according. To the power that works.

  197. In US, which almost suggests that the exceedingly abundantly

  198. above all that we are believing for relies on depends on.

  199. The power, that is. Working in US, which almost puts

  200. the responsibility on the. Believer you could have.

  201. An entire hydro dam. Full of water.

  202. Which is potential? Which is.

  203. Power. And you could exceed the demands

  204. of the city. You could abundantly supply the

  205. demands of that. City but if the power.

  206. Lines aren't working. You can't get that power to the

  207. city and so. As I was seeing this through a

  208. fresh lens, I said wow. We have work to do as a church.

  209. To ensure that we keep. Our hearts pure before the Lord.

  210. It's not enough to just receive Jesus.

  211. Christ, you're my Lord and savior.

  212. Boom, I got my one way ticket to heaven.

  213. Now I can keep it pushing and living the same way I've been

  214. living. No, there is.

  215. A. There is a good work.

  216. There is a good work. That's involved.

  217. To fight the good fight of faith.

  218. In order to walk in the true. Power that God desires.

  219. Each and everyone of you to walk.

  220. In. And so.

  221. What the Lord revealed. To me, the revelation I got.

  222. Is that it is the? Heart, that is the conductor.

  223. Of God's power. Now for you those of you that

  224. don't know the conductor. Is the wire.

  225. That's on top of the. Power poles that you.

  226. See on the side. Of the road these these these

  227. wires. Here this is a conductor.

  228. Right here, right by Judah. The ones that we have run in the

  229. city here, they have 25,000 volts of electricity going

  230. through them and. You can do a lot of good with

  231. that power. Look at what?

  232. We're doing right now. We're preaching the gospel

  233. through power. We're letting sound of worship

  234. into our streets. Through that electricity.

  235. We're lighting up the place. With that electricity, but that.

  236. Power mishandled can do a lot of damage.

  237. We read about, I don't know if yeah, I'm going to do it because

  238. this has been on my mind a lot. We read in in Acts, I want to

  239. say like Acts 14, where Peter. Apostle of the Lord.

  240. Mighty man of God. Fully sold out for the Lord,

  241. filled with the Holy Ghost said as he walked his shadow.

  242. Look at. My shadow's about to fall in

  243. Effie. Shadow as it.

  244. Fell on the sick. People that were laid.

  245. Out on the side of the street, they were instantly healed.

  246. The power of God was. Flowing in the early.

  247. Church of Acts, but we also see. There's a great move of God.

  248. People were so compelled to be a part of this move that they're

  249. willing to. Sell their property to give to

  250. what the apostles were. Doing and there was one couple

  251. named Ananias and Sapphira that they're like, man, we want to be

  252. a. Part of this powerful.

  253. Move of God. They sold their property.

  254. And they? Brought it to the apostles.

  255. And. There was a part of.

  256. Them that was still not all in and they said let us.

  257. Stash a little. Emergency fund in.

  258. Case this in case we. Need it later and they went and

  259. they. Brought the rest.

  260. Of the money to the apostles, and said.

  261. Here, we sold our stuff. We want to.

  262. Give it to the church, this is. All we have, we're going all in.

  263. We want to be a part. Of what the church is.

  264. Doing And in that moment the Holy Spirit quickened Peter,

  265. because remember the power. Of God was with.

  266. Flowing through Peter and the church, and he asked Ananias and

  267. Sapphira. Is this all that you guys got?

  268. Like you say, they said yes. They lied to the man of God in

  269. that moment, and in that moment they dropped dead.

  270. And what was revealed to me? Is the greater.

  271. Of the measure of the outpouring of God's.

  272. Glory or of God? 'S power amongst the people, the

  273. higher the responsibility there is to walk holy and pure before

  274. our holy and pure and just God. This is New Testament to

  275. remember and so. The heart is the conductor of

  276. God's power. Great.

  277. Good. Is done with this power when we

  278. walk and live right and pure before.

  279. God, but there is great. Damage to be done when you are

  280. just part way in and not all in and so the heart is the.

  281. Conductor of God's power, or the heart, is the carrier of God's

  282. glory of God's. Glory and so according.

  283. To the power that works. In US.

  284. Is where we see the. Abundantly, above all, we can

  285. ask, think or imagine of God, and so according.

  286. To the power that works. In US right church and so.

  287. The power that works flows through a.

  288. Power system that works. Are you catching that in order

  289. to get the power from the? Source To the people, there's

  290. got to be a healthy power. System in place and we have been

  291. given many prophetic words. Over the past few years, but

  292. specifically the past. Few months the Lord has been

  293. speaking clearly through the man of God, and I want to.

  294. Visit this. Word that he preached on October

  295. 1st. I just want to pull an insert.

  296. So this is just a. Fraction of the word that.

  297. God spoke through our leader. Our man of God, Pastor Terence.

  298. The Lord says Love quest, prepare to see.

  299. My glory as Moses asked, show me your glory, I am preparing to

  300. show you my goodness. My glory is experienced in the.

  301. Heart, the eyes of the heart. The inner man.

  302. This is why many will only witness you experiencing my

  303. glory. But many will not experience it

  304. themselves. Due to the pride.

  305. Rebellion. Ego in their what?

  306. Hearts I. Exalt the humble, not the.

  307. Bible reader I the. Lord exalt the humble, not the

  308. worship leader. I.

  309. Exalt the humble and my. Levels of rewards.

  310. Oh no, sorry. And my glory cannot.

  311. Reside where you have allowed pride to take residence.

  312. There's levels of rewards. But my glory is not a reward,

  313. it's an impartation of my unprecedented.

  314. Favour favour. Hallelujah.

  315. It's unshakable strength, incomprehensible wisdom.

  316. My glory cannot rest in a political.

  317. House. It cannot rest in a religious

  318. finger or a slandering double edged tongue.

  319. My glory will abide. Not just visit, but where my

  320. love lives and is made to be welcome.

  321. There will my glory live. And so the Lord has spoken that

  322. the. Glory of the Lord is.

  323. Experienced in the heart. But those who have allowed.

  324. Things of the old, the old man pride.

  325. What else we got? Rebellion.

  326. Ego for those who have allowed. These things to stay unchecked,

  327. those will miss. Out.

  328. On this mighty move. Of God those.

  329. Will miss out on the. Glory that the Lord desires.

  330. Each and every one of us to encounter and experience and.

  331. Carry those who are. Unwilling to humble themselves.

  332. Before the Lord. And say search my.

  333. Heart, O God. And if there be anything of it

  334. that offends you, reveal it to me that I can do away with it.

  335. Because I desire to be purified by your love.

  336. That I can walk in the. Power of the Lord.

  337. Amen, Amen. And so tonight I'm I'm doing a

  338. lot less talking about the enemy, the.

  339. Devil because I believe. With my whole.

  340. Heart that all authority. In heaven on earth has been

  341. given to Jesus Christ our Lord and.

  342. Savior. So if he's.

  343. Got it all. How much?

  344. Does the devil have? Zero simple math, and so I'm not

  345. discounting that the enemy is not.

  346. A deceiver. And that he is not.

  347. Tricky. And that he is not.

  348. Good at what he does. For the deception of the.

  349. Lord is or of the. Enemy is a real thing, but the

  350. Lord really impressed it on my heart tonight to speak to each

  351. and everyone of you of the deception of your own unrenewed

  352. mind, and we cannot contribute that to the enemy.

  353. The Bible tells us that we. I'm going to talk about it later

  354. that we become transformed by changing or renewing our mind

  355. according to the word of God and so.

  356. Power that works flows. Through a power system that

  357. works and so I'm going. To share with you 2.

  358. Common. Threats to the electrical.

  359. Power system that I work on on a week.

  360. To week basis specifically these?

  361. Common threats I come across on what we call trouble call when

  362. the power goes out the phone rings hey do you want to come

  363. help fix the power and two common threats to our power

  364. system is old plant speaking to these are.

  365. Old poles that. Have been in the ground for

  366. 60-70 years old. They're rotting and they're

  367. falling apart. And another.

  368. Threat is dead branches. There are these branches that

  369. are. Barely hanging on to the trees

  370. that when the wind blows, they get knocked off and they land on

  371. our power lines. They bridge the power line.

  372. Short circuit the system. Burn the wires down and then we

  373. got to go put the wire back up in the air and so 2 common.

  374. Threats to the power. System is old plants and dead

  375. branches. Now I want to try and translate

  376. this to the believers life. All right, are you with me?

  377. Because remember the. Heart is the.

  378. Conductor that the power. Or the glory of God flows.

  379. Through and So what might be two common threats to the power

  380. system of my heart? Well, let's look at old.

  381. Plant, old plant, could be the unrenewed mind, The unrenewed

  382. mind. OK, this is the mind that I've

  383. been living with. Up to.

  384. Up my whole life since since I came out of the womb sinful by

  385. nature. You didn't have to tell me.

  386. What jealousy was just put a toy?

  387. Between my brother and I and I already.

  388. Knew what jealousy was. OK.

  389. We inherited A sinful nature and so old plan is unredeemed mind.

  390. It's a threat to the. Power system, old man habits.

  391. I think it could group this in with the unrenewed mind, but old

  392. man habits can be man trauma I've experienced in the.

  393. Past has caused me to. Respond in this way undealt with

  394. wounds caused me to move in a certain way, but who knows that

  395. when you become a new. Creation in Christ old.

  396. Things are dead and gone. All things are made new, but we

  397. need to learn to walk in those new things and the mind of the.

  398. Flesh so these. Are pretty much all saying the

  399. same thing in different. Ways a.

  400. Second, threat to the power system.

  401. Dead branches. These are the works of the

  402. flesh. We read about them in Galatians.

  403. Five, it talks about the fruit of the Spirit, which is the.

  404. Evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in you, which is love,

  405. peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness,

  406. faithfulness, self-control. That's the evidence that the

  407. Spirit is at work in you. Well, there's also the works of

  408. the flesh, which is. Evidence that you're just

  409. living. By what feels good you're.

  410. Living according to the flesh. You're living by the sinful

  411. nature of your flesh, and you can read about those in

  412. Galatians 5. Old man habits slash responses,

  413. Mind of the flesh. OK, and so dead branches and old

  414. plant speak. A lot to the old way.

  415. Of doing things in a believer's life.

  416. Romans 12. Verse 2 says.

  417. Do not be conformed to this world, meaning don't allow this

  418. world to. Shape the way that you.

  419. Live and move and respond and act.

  420. Do not be conformed to this world.

  421. But. Be transformed by the renewing

  422. of your mind, that you may prove.

  423. What is that? Good and acceptable and perfect.

  424. Will of God or transform? The ruin renewing of your mind

  425. so that you can truly experience the power that works.

  426. I feel to just speak to you guys.

  427. About the body, soul and spirit, do you guys all know?

  428. That we are a body. We have this earth suit that.

  429. No, sorry. We are a spirit. 1st and.

  430. Foremost because before God. Knit you together in your mama's

  431. womb. He knew you and God's A.

  432. Spirit. So if he knew you, that speaks.

  433. To how you are an eternal spirit being.

  434. We possess a soul. That is the mind, will and

  435. emotions, and we live in this. Body this earth suit.

  436. OK, so you're a spirit. You possess the.

  437. Soul, you live in a. Body try part.

  438. Being OK when you become born again, your spirit, which was

  439. one dead, becomes alive. OK, Your mind.

  440. Your mind, which is your willing and your emotions.

  441. Your thinker, your chooser. It is so used.

  442. To being led by your. Flesh.

  443. Which is a fallen nature. So you see your spirit.

  444. Man is outnumbered 2 to one and. This is where the.

  445. Wrestle most often takes place in a believer's life.

  446. Because I'm trying to be. Spirit LED.

  447. I'm trying to obey the. Words of Jesus which are.

  448. Spirit and life, but my mind is so used to living according to

  449. the flesh and so I am caught in this back and forth between good

  450. and evil. It's not until we renew our mind

  451. I'm going to be careful how I do.

  452. This there it is. That we become single minded.

  453. Our soul is our. The mind of the flesh.

  454. It now becomes the mind of the. Spirit.

  455. And who knows that 2 outnumbers 1 and in due season the things

  456. of the natural are more impacted by the things of the

  457. supernatural and your. Flesh will have to.

  458. Come into alignment with your soul and your spirit, but you

  459. don't actually experience the transformation in the natural

  460. until that renewing of the mind takes place.

  461. I'll have you know I did practice that move before I came

  462. on stage. And so we are to.

  463. Renew our minds to truly. Experience the power that works.

  464. And so Romans 8 lets us know. That there is a battle that we

  465. are. In the midst.

  466. Of he says those. Who let their sinful old selves

  467. tell them what to? Do live.

  468. Under that power of their sinful old selves.

  469. But say, but those who let the holy.

  470. Spirit tell them what to do are. Under his power if your.

  471. Sinful. Old self is the boss.

  472. Over your mind, remember. It leads to death, but if the

  473. Holy Spirit is the boss. Over your mind, your soul.

  474. It leads to life. And peace Hallelujah, the mind

  475. that thinks only. Of ways to please the.

  476. Sinful old self is fighting against God.

  477. It is not. Able to obey God's.

  478. Law. It never can.

  479. Ever. And so we are in a battle.

  480. As we follow Jesus Christ. We are in a battle against.

  481. Our flesh. As we simultaneously are

  482. building ourselves up in spirit and what the wind comes to do is

  483. it comes to rustle and shake and expose the things of the flesh.

  484. Agitate 1 might say the things of the flesh that are in the way

  485. of the power flowing in our life.

  486. This. Though uncomfortable is actually

  487. the goodness and grace and mercy.

  488. Of God, because there's. Things that are in the way of

  489. you experiencing power at work within you and so.

  490. We are to. Invite the wind, wind come

  491. reveal the things of the. Flesh that are.

  492. In opposition towards you and wind, Holy Spirit blow and bring

  493. to life. The word of God.

  494. And Holy Spirit, come and and help me.

  495. Build in the Spirit. Holy Spirit, speak through our

  496. leaders. Speak through our pastors

  497. minister. Through our worship.

  498. Team build me up in spirit and then.

  499. Through this process of. Battling against the flesh and

  500. building up in. Spirit it is that.

  501. We may be. Purified for power.

  502. Shout it out. I'm purified for power.

  503. Hallelujah. And so the most reliable power

  504. system consists of new. Plants as well as a.

  505. Vegetation crew. So a vegetation.

  506. Crew is. People that specialize in

  507. cutting trees down and they can do it safely in the proximity of

  508. the. Power.

  509. What does this? Look like in the.

  510. Believer's life. The vegetation.

  511. Crew is invited to purge the old John 15.

  512. Jesus says I'm the vine. My father is the vine dresser.

  513. He he cuts. Dead branches away that don't

  514. produce fruit. But he goes on to say in.

  515. Verse 3 that you have. Already been cleansed by the.

  516. Word of God The Word of God is useful for.

  517. Correction the invite. The word of God, which is

  518. Jesus's. Word.

  519. Which he said is spirit and life.

  520. Invite the word to. Expose the things in your.

  521. Life that got to go. Renewed minds We welcome the

  522. vegetation crew to come and I. Skipped.

  523. I skipped the slide here. We welcome the wind, the

  524. vegetation crew. We, we welcome the wind to show

  525. us, expose us, man. What's?

  526. Loose What is out of order? What's got to go?

  527. We welcome the wind and. Hebrews 12 talks about the the

  528. Lord allows. The shaking to.

  529. Reveal what is. Unshakeable that the great

  530. shaking exposes and removes. That which is shakeable, the

  531. Bible says that we are to. Stay vigilant, A vegetation crew

  532. needs to stay on top of ensuring those power lines of clear of

  533. all debris and we are warned in first.

  534. Peter that we are to. Stay vigilant and sober minded

  535. for the enemy is roam is roaming around like a lion seeking whom

  536. he can devour and who knows that lions.

  537. Are flesh eaters. They look for those that are

  538. caught up. In the mind of the flesh, right

  539. and. So what else is consist Builds a

  540. reliable power plant? Is new plant that speaks to new

  541. life in Christ man, the moment you receive Jesus Christ as your

  542. Lord and savior, you are a new creation in.

  543. Christ. Following that, you got to renew

  544. your mind by the. Word of God.

  545. How you once live is not how you continue to live as a.

  546. Follower of Christ and lastly. The baptism of the.

  547. Holy Spirit, this speaks to the full.

  548. Submerging or the full overtaking of the Holy Spirit in

  549. your life the someone wants to ask me, man, how do you know if

  550. you've been. Baptized by the Holy Spirit.

  551. Or how do you know if you? Fully got the Holy Ghost.

  552. And I heard a preacher once say, well, you know.

  553. By if the Holy Ghost fully has you, you.

  554. Have the fullness of the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit has

  555. the fullness of you. And so maybe you've been trying

  556. up to this point to? See The Power of God.

  557. At work in your life and you and you still feel like, man, I'm

  558. not seeing that power working in my life.

  559. Well, this is the. Season where the Lord wants to

  560. take you or He wants to invite. You to this place.

  561. Where you count the cost and go all in.

  562. We have another prophetic word that says some of you are in,

  563. but it's time for you to go. All in my life.

  564. I was raised. Christian but it wasn't till I

  565. was 27 years old where. I received the.

  566. Baptism of the Holy Ghost. But it was.

  567. Followed by a moment in my life where I count the.

  568. Cost. Pastor asked me.

  569. What are you willing to? Give for the sake of the gospel.

  570. And that question hit me and I went home and I wrestled with

  571. that question. What am I willing to give?

  572. For the sake of the Gospel. And I counted the cost and I put

  573. on there everything I held dear to me.

  574. Career image, my truck, my home, my dreams, everything.

  575. And then later on it was within a few weeks, pastor invited me

  576. up. Those who haven't received the

  577. baptism, the Holy Spirit come. And there was.

  578. I believe it is. Because of my all in, I was

  579. fully on board for following Christ.

  580. I was fully in, all in, and the Holy Spirit had all of me.

  581. And that's where that moment of the baptism, the Holy.

  582. Spirit, I had all. Of him and so in this moment

  583. church, I'm just going to invite any of you.

  584. That that, that desire to just. Take a fresh stand and say from

  585. this moment forth, I want to go all in for the Holy.

  586. Spirit. I want to go all into following

  587. Christ because I want the Spirit to be all in in my life.

  588. I just invite you to. Stand as we close in prayer, in

  589. this moment and just. Believe for a great.

  590. Outpowering of the Spirit worship team.

  591. I'm just going to invite you to come back up.

  592. Hallelujah, the Lord is here. The Lord is here.

  593. Father, we just thank you. So much.

  594. For your great love for. Each and every one of us.

  595. We thank you. For the new life that we have

  596. in. Jesus Christ, Father, I thank

  597. you that you desire for your power to work.

  598. In each and every one of our. Lives I thank you that you

  599. desire for us, Lord, to be a light.

  600. Shining bright that we can truly impact.

  601. The world. With the good news.

  602. Of Jesus Christ. In this moment.

  603. We see that your. Wind is blowing.

  604. We invite your wind to keep blowing in each and every one of

  605. our hearts and holy. Spirit, we just.

  606. Thank you We. Thank you that you are the free.

  607. Gift from our Father to. Every follower of Christ,

  608. according to Acts 238 for the gift of the Holy Spirit, is for

  609. all who call. Upon the name of Jesus.

  610. Christ. So I thank you in this moment,

  611. hearts are making the decision to go from in to all in that

  612. there is a counting of the cost and there is a laying everything

  613. down before. The feet of Jesus.

  614. Holy Spirit, come fall afresh on every son and daughter in this

  615. place, Lord God. As.

  625. y'all and then we'll get some announcements in and then we

  626. will close out. But our activation for you to

  627. think about through this week is we talked about two common

  628. threats to our power system, the old plant, which is, I summed it

  629. up, the unrenewed mind and the dead branches, which are works

  630. of the flesh. And so as you go through your

  631. week, I want you to ask the Holy Spirit and think about what old

  632. plants and dead branches have you identified through the power

  633. of the Holy Spirit, the vegetation crew this week?

  634. And secondly, how have you allowed the Holy Spirit to set

  635. up a new plant, a renewed mind, and a walking in your new man in

  636. your life this week? So let's go with intention this

  637. week. Let's activate the word, the

  638. anointed word that was given to us by Pastor Dylan.

  639. And let's take the practical revelation he has given us and

  640. apply it to our lives. This is how we walk out our

  641. faith and this is how we become stronger and mature believers.

  642. Amen, Amen. Thank you Angua.

  644. close out. First announcement is Pastor
