  1. Let us pray. Father, God, we thank you for the

  2. gift of life. We thank you for the opportunity to

  3. come before your throne once again. We thank you that

  4. you have spared us, that you have granted us this opportunity. Lord,

  5. we don't take it for granted. But now God, we

  6. ask that your Holy Spirit will come. Sit in the

  7. midst of our praises, dwell with us, Sit upon us,

  8. Ignite us, Ignite us, Lord, open up our eyes and

  9. our ears. Bring revelation, illumination, understanding, so we can really

  10. understand who you are. So we can see the different

  11. facets who you are, so we can appreciate who you

  12. are in our lives. Show us a side of yourself

  13. that you have never shown us before. The scripture tells

  14. us that the angels cry Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy. Every

  15. time they get up they see a side of you

  16. they've never seen, and every time they go down they

  17. will never see the side again. That's how magnificent you are.

  18. You are sovereign God. The children come before you tonight.

  19. We offer you a worship because of who you are,

  20. and for that we thank you. Now, God gave us

  21. an utterance. Let what you have given for your people

  22. We deliver it with clarity effectively, so that everybody here

  23. will leave changed. They cannot have an encounter with you

  24. and remain the same. Let it be manifested here tonight

  25. in the mighty name of Jesus Christ for his sake. Amen,

  26. give God some praise. You're not clapping for me. You're awake.

  27. Give God some praise. Somebody just took their last breath.

  28. You're awake. Give God some praise. I know you're tired.

  29. He may want to be in your bad but this

  30. sacrifice is what he will honor, this sacrifice. You could

  31. have been anywhere else. There are some people in the

  32. clubs right now. Uh huh. There are some people in

  33. the clubs. There are some people in the hospitals. You

  34. can't help themselves, but you're here. Open up your mouth.

  35. If you're gonna do it, do it well, Do it well.

  36. Thank him, Thank him, whereas given honor to God, who

  37. is the head of my life, and giving him thanks

  38. for the life of our Archbishop, our Papa. Yes, because

  39. of his obedience. We're all here because of his obedience.

  40. Everything you see on this compass and here because of

  41. his obedience. United Denominations of Action chapels worldwide exists. He

  42. could have said no, he could have gone anywhere else,

  43. could have been doing something else. But because of his obedience,

  44. we're all beneficiaries. We're all here being fed. Amen, And

  45. for our Bishop, wherever he is made, the Lord bless him,

  46. cover him, lead his head, never lack oil, May angels

  47. protect him, surround him about We raise firewalls around him

  48. in prayers, shoes around him wherever he is. Cloud for yourself, Obedia.

  49. And now you may take your seat tonight. My assignment

  50. is very very very clear, and as the Lord would

  51. have it, it is about the person I'm going to

  52. talk about. And I said person, Yes, let me call

  53. it gathering. We're having this event we're having. It's called

  54. what holy Ghost night encounter? Holy Ghost night encounter. The

  55. Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit. By the way, the

  56. words I used interchangeably, the Holy Ghost night encounter. Tonight.

  57. My assignment is to introduce to you. And I said introduce.

  58. I'll present to others because we're not all at the

  59. same level. Amen, introduced to you the Holy Spirit. Who

  60. is he? Who is he? This? I said, he? So

  61. as the question suggests the Holy Spirit is a person,

  62. personality is not a thing, so as that something told

  63. me no. The Holy Spirit is a amen. He's not

  64. an object by the person. But as Christians, we believe

  65. that there's a trying God. The god Head got, the

  66. Father got, the Son got the Holy Spirit. They are

  67. three manifestations of God, always in perfect harmony and never

  68. contradicting each other. If God the Creator says he, God,

  69. the Son says he, God the Holy Spirit says he,

  70. they work together. They are always in tandem. How many

  71. of you have seen a tandem bike where the husband,

  72. the wife, and the children all say no, one big,

  73. and they're all paddling together. They are always in tandem.

  74. One president is not going to reverse when one person

  75. is going forward, and they are always in tandem. So

  76. the first person in the trinity is God the Father,

  77. whom we know as God the Creator in Genesis one

  78. and one. Genesis chapter one, verse one, Genesis chapter one,

  79. verse one. So we know that in the beginning, God

  80. the Creator created, He created, so we know him as

  81. God the Creator. John chapter one, verse three, John Chapter one,

  82. verse three. I'm giving you different accounts. Let's speak to

  83. his personality as God the Creator, John chapter one, verse three.

  84. Anyone All things were made through him, and without him,

  85. nothing was made that was made. So he created everything,

  86. all things, not some things. All things were made by him,

  87. and without him was not anything made that was made.

  88. Anything your eye can see, as far as I can see,

  89. he made. Amen. So that's the first personality of the Trinity.

  90. The second personality we're going to talk about is God,

  91. the son Jesus, the Christ, the son of the Living God,

  92. who came to earth, dwelt amongst us, and died on

  93. the cross. His primary assignment for coming was to reconcile

  94. mankind to himself, and himself means the tryant God, because

  95. he is a personality and manifestation of God. Amen. So

  96. reconciling himself to the trying God, reconciling man to himself

  97. the tryant God by sacrificing himself and shedding his blood

  98. in atonement. It is only his incorrupted blood that could

  99. be worthy, that could be payment enough to cleanse us

  100. of us sin and to present us blameless, acceptable in

  101. the presence of God. John Chapter one, Verse one. We

  102. read in the beginning was the word, and the word

  103. was with and the word was now. Who is referred

  104. to as the Word Jesus Christ. He is the Word incarnate,

  105. the Word made flesh. That right there establishes the divinity,

  106. the divine nature of Jesus Christ, who is also referred

  107. to as the Word, the Word made flesh. And also

  108. that Jesus is co equal with God. He said, I

  109. and my Father are one. If you see me, then

  110. you've seen my Father. So they are co equal. He

  111. is God, but yet he's man, and we dealt with

  112. this last week. He's one hundred percent man because he

  113. wrapped himself in flesh and stepped out of eternity and

  114. was born here in this realm called earth. But he's

  115. also God, the divine God. In John chapter one, verse

  116. thirty four. John Chapter one, verse thirty four, the scripture

  117. gives account of John the Baptist, a prophet who proclaimed

  118. Jesus' is coming, testifying that Jesus is the son of God.

  119. So that's also proof, he said, and I saw and

  120. bare record, I bear witness that Jesus is the Son

  121. of God. So we've dealt with God, the Creator, God,

  122. the Father, God the Son. Now the person or personality

  123. I'm here to introduce to you tonight is the third

  124. person in the triunh the Trinity, God, the Holy Spirit.

  125. We often say the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost,

  126. holy Ghost. We forget he is God, the Holy Spirit.

  127. Don't your nehbody say he's God the Holy Spirit Verse

  128. thirty for Urus as and I have seen, as we

  129. just read and have born witness that this is the

  130. Son of God. In these times nowadays, Jesus is no mystery.

  131. We hear about Jesus all the time. We hear about

  132. God's creation all the time, but we don't hear that

  133. much about the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit. The first

  134. two personalities we know because we talk about, we hear about,

  135. we are appreached about. But not many people know about

  136. the Holy Spirit. Both Christians and god Christians believe it.

  137. Some don't believe in the Holy Spirit. Some do not

  138. believe in the manifestation and what he does and what

  139. his assignment is and how he fits into that triang God.

  140. Some don't believe it. Attention to men say I believe,

  141. say it more convincingly, look them in the eye and

  142. tell them I believe. It is a confession, a proclamation,

  143. a declaration you're making. So who is he and what

  144. is his assignment? Who is the Holy Spirit, and what

  145. is this assignment. A sister read in Genesis one, verse

  146. one and two that in the beginning God created the

  147. heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form

  148. and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep,

  149. and the Spirit of God, which is the Holy Spirit

  150. I'm talking about, moved. He did what He moved upon

  151. the face of the waters. So that proves right now

  152. that at the beginning of the world, the Holy Spirit

  153. was there. God the Father, the Creator was there, got

  154. the Sun, and God, the Holy Spirit. We're all present,

  155. but we're talking about who is and what his assignment is.

  156. The scripture says the Spirit of God moved. The word

  157. moved is what a verb? In English a verb a

  158. verb is a word used to describe an action a

  159. state on an occurrence. He moved, He made an action.

  160. He moved. Why did he move? God? Because God says,

  161. God the Creator said something, he said, let there be,

  162. Let there be. And because he did that, because he

  163. said that, God the Creator spoke that, and the Holy

  164. Spirit actionized. He executed what God has spoken. He made

  165. it happen. See, that's what his job is. He makes

  166. the word of God the Creator take effect just by speaking.

  167. Creation happens by the action of his spirit. That is

  168. also why Scripture tells us to be cautious about what

  169. we say, because it is his spirit that he breathed

  170. in us, his essence, So you have the same creative power.

  171. Life and death is in the power of the one

  172. we were made. Adam was made from clay, but he

  173. was not a living being until God did what breathed

  174. his essence, his spirit into him, and his spirit has

  175. the power to create. That's why he says, be careful

  176. what you say. The men say, be careful what you say,

  177. because Scripture says you shall decree a thing. You shall

  178. say a thing, and it shall be established. Most of

  179. the time we don't understand that we speak death. Oh

  180. that's for this one that I can't do it. You're right, hey,

  181. this will kill me, you it will. You See, what

  182. you decree about any situation that you're going through is

  183. what is going to manifest. You shall decree a thing

  184. and it shall be established. Why, it is the power

  185. of God in you. You're made in His image and

  186. his likeness, and it is what quickens you, what makes

  187. you alive, that breath, that essence. So the Holy Spirit

  188. is the power the action man of the Trinity, because

  189. when God thinks it, when he speaks it, whatever he

  190. intends to happen. Holy Spirit said, I got it. I

  191. want him to have a room full of good. I

  192. got it. I want to deliver him from danger scene

  193. and Nancien, I got it. He's the action man on

  194. the Trinity. Whatever God speaks, he actionizes. Now fast forward,

  195. we're going to talk about the Day of Pentecost and

  196. Plaster Quig who touched on it early when I walked

  197. in and I was like, hey, confirmation. It's a little background.

  198. We all know from just celebrating Easter in the resurrection

  199. what that means that after Jesus was resurrected on the

  200. third Day, he ascended to Heaven in his glorified body.

  201. But he took his disciples to Bethany, where the ascension

  202. took place, and after blessing them, he ascended Luke twenty four,

  203. fifteen and fifty one Luke chapter twenty four, fifteen fifty one.

  204. Luke Chapter twenty four, fifteen fifty And he let them

  205. out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up

  206. his hands and he blessed them fifty one and it

  207. came to pass. While he blessed them, he was parted

  208. from them and carried up into heaven. That's the ascension,

  209. and it happened after he rose up on the third day.

  210. Another account in John sixteen, verses five through eight, says

  211. Jesus tells his disciples that he must leave. He also

  212. told them that they were going to be persecuted, that

  213. they will killed them. They would attack them because they

  214. followed him to learn from me, they spoke of him,

  215. So he was forewarning them about what was going to happen.

  216. But he also promised them that he wasn't going to

  217. leave them alone without a comforter. Now Jesus had to

  218. go up because he was going to assume his new

  219. position as the great high Priest, seated at the right

  220. hand of God ever making intercession for who you and I.

  221. That's where he is right now. See that's why it's

  222. important when the autocol goes forward and we tell you

  223. come give your life to Christ, because there's a choice

  224. you're making and the Holy Spirit I'm talking about, the

  225. only one thing he's going to convict the world of

  226. is rejection of Jesus Christ. So when you have the opportunity,

  227. and you choose not to because God gave you free will,

  228. and you must make the choice. When you choose not to,

  229. then expect that you shall be judged. You will be

  230. convicted of rejection of Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ said,

  231. the only way to his Father, the only way into

  232. the Kingdom of God, is through him. So if he

  233. comes and says, you can't pay me for it, you

  234. can't buy. You can achieve it by your works. But

  235. I have chosen to shed my blood for you to

  236. make you justified just as you've never sinned. To redeem you,

  237. I've paid for you. Really, you belong to him. If

  238. I come to you and pay you for your shoes,

  239. you take the money. It's a transaction. I be and

  240. because said not as you shall, I can't take you

  241. down because I've paid for it, so it belongs to me.

  242. Jesus Christ at his blood and paid for us, redeemed Us,

  243. exchanged his life, shedding his blood to make atonement the

  244. only thing that could wipe your sin away and make

  245. you acceptable before God. So Jesus had to go up

  246. and take his position as great eyed priest, seated the

  247. right hand of god Father ever interceding for us. But

  248. he was not going to leave them without power. That's

  249. the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the power of

  250. the Trinity, the action man of the Trinity. But that

  251. he would send the Holy Spirit once he went up,

  252. and the Holy Spirit is to remain with us forever.

  253. So now you see, in the beginning, God used to

  254. come down and walk in the garden and commune with

  255. Adam and Eve. Then Adam and Eve sinned, so Jesus

  256. Christ had to come to make atonement to redeem us.

  257. We killed him. You can't think for the person that

  258. came to redeem you that to fix your situation. But

  259. it was all in the plan. Tell you, it was

  260. all in the plan. That is the only way we

  261. could reconcile to God. But you see, Jesus, after he

  262. rose on the third day at the Resurrection, he had

  263. to ascend to his new title, the Great High Priest,

  264. and so he promised them that he wasn't going to

  265. leave them without and that he was going to send

  266. down the Holy Spirit, the power of the Trinity, the

  267. action man, and that he would remain with us forever.

  268. See right now in this dispensation is the Holy Spirit.

  269. That's with us. That is why we must understand that

  270. in these days, these last days, as we exist now

  271. in this realm, it is the Holy Spirit that's with us.

  272. He came to comfort to God, to teach many other

  273. things which we're going to talk about. He was here

  274. to give us power individually and as a church. So

  275. by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, you have the

  276. Spirit of God. I have the Spirit of God, each

  277. and everyone. But the Spirit of God is a prophetic spirit.

  278. So if he dwells in you, you have a measure

  279. of prophetic in you, each and every one of us.

  280. You see, there's an office of the and there's the

  281. gift of the prophetic. But if he lives in you,

  282. and he is the spirit of truth, he is the

  283. spirit of God. He's the Holy Spirit, and he is

  284. prophetic by default because he lives in your vessel. You too.

  285. It's one thing to be ordained into the office, but

  286. we all carry the gifting of being prophetic. Turn to

  287. your neighbor and say, you too can prophesy, to prophesize,

  288. to speak. That's why you must be careful what you see.

  289. You prophesied death into your situation. Hey, I'm going to

  290. feel this test okay of creation must conspire together to

  291. establish what you said. So when it happens, why is

  292. this happening to me only me? Be I trying to

  293. pass me and gram trying to me. Feeling you said,

  294. that's what this one I will fail. You shall decree

  295. a thing and it shall be established. So why are

  296. you surprised? Hey, that's what this sickness It will kill you.

  297. And you go to the doctor and say, oh, I

  298. can't do anything for you. Your sickness. The place that has reached,

  299. go your go, you said. But if you speak in

  300. line with the word of God, because it is his

  301. spirit that you're invoking, and the spirit is the power

  302. of God, then the power brings signs, wonders, miracles, breakthroughs

  303. for who for you say, your blessing is in your mouth.

  304. Tell your neighbor, tell him your blessing is in your mouth.

  305. So watch what you say. So he comes to give

  306. the individual power and the church power. But he would

  307. convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Holy

  308. Spirit doesn't condemn. He never condemns. He convicts. There is

  309. a difference. You see, it's your conscience that condemns you.

  310. Where you know the right thing, and you don't do it.

  311. The enemy as passage, who says you give him an opening,

  312. he has an occasion, and he will use your own conscience.

  313. Don't even saying he said, well, yeah, those pictures you're

  314. looking at, you shouldn't look those messages you're sending, those

  315. calls you're making, those places you're going. Is your conscience

  316. that or condemn you? The Holy Spirit only convicts you.

  317. He reminds you. Remember who lives in you, Remember whose

  318. you are, who paid for you, Who is shared is

  319. blood for you? Who is shad is blad to make

  320. you clean? But the One says, if you set your free,

  321. then you are what free. Indeed, so why are you

  322. trying to get back into the dirt. What is it

  323. you want? What is it that in that mud that

  324. you enjoy so much? Remember last week I told you

  325. be careful of your desires because your desires can be

  326. your destruction. Right now, the flesh wants to say, I

  327. will tell you the flesh always wants comfort or a

  328. chilling openny day. But that very desire, it is what

  329. will bring destruction to your life. Yes, So, when all

  330. the apostles gathered in the upper room, praying. A rushing

  331. wind as passed the quick who told us earlier filled

  332. the house, and tongues of fire rested on each of them,

  333. and they were failed, failed, save failed. When you feel something,

  334. it means there's no room left. See that's the key.

  335. You can't take pat and leave Pat. You're going to

  336. accept him and be failed, or you're going to reject

  337. him and be empty. And when you're empty, it's an

  338. opening for who or do fine? We track contract them

  339. out fine. So he failed each and every one of them,

  340. and they began to do what speak in tongues or languages,

  341. different languages. So the Holy Spirit the power when he comes,

  342. he manifests. And one of the things that happens when

  343. he manifests is that he comes bearing gifts. And one

  344. of the gifts he brings is that she gives you

  345. utterance of the language different to your mother tongue. See

  346. the languge which my mother tongue is tree in fronty.

  347. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you speak

  348. that MANI. You can speak Houser, you can speak French.

  349. You can He is a teacher. So this was the

  350. manifestation of the word, the fulfillment of the promise Jesus

  351. made to them before he left. But also it is

  352. a revelation of who the Holy Spirit is and his

  353. primary assignment. The event also marks the birth of the

  354. assignment of the church as pasaquik who told us at

  355. that very moment, when the Holy Spirit came and sat

  356. on the ass tongues of fire natur and everyone the

  357. church was borne by fire. Is that what he said,

  358. The fire of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Word,

  359. which was Jesus, so that mankind will be convicted of sin,

  360. not condemned, convicted of sin. So you become aware righteousness

  361. right living according to Jesus' standard. So he tells you

  362. don't go there. Sometimes God will cause you to be

  363. rejected where everybody is accepted. It's not because he wants

  364. to punish you, because He has marked you. That's what

  365. he says in Jeremiah, before you and your mother's womb,

  366. I did one. I knew you, I set you aside.

  367. I've chosen you. I sanctified you. Women who are here,

  368. so where everybody else is going and there having fun,

  369. you go to tell you no, you're not allowed, and

  370. you go when you're a crime and you don't understand

  371. your peculiar You are unique. He has marked you, so

  372. he cannot let you go and get yourself dirty. You

  373. cannot do what everybody else is doing. You are not

  374. allowed because you are His and you have an assignment

  375. on your life. So the primary assignment of the Holy

  376. Spirit the primary. That means the other assignments secondary assignments.

  377. His primary assignment was to magnify, is to magnify and

  378. glorify only Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

  379. That's all his assignment. His primary assignment is he reveals

  380. Jesus' purpose for coming to the earth and his love

  381. to the hearts of mankind. And Jesus's purpose was what

  382. to redeem us, to justify us, to bring us salvation,

  383. and to reconcile us to God. But I submit to

  384. you that the entire Bible is inspired and authored and

  385. promoted by the Holy Spirit, and it is the revelation

  386. of who Jesus Christ is to mankind. See I told

  387. you the Holy Spirit does not condemn. He only does

  388. what convicts. Why because he's the Spirit of God and

  389. God does what God justifies. Jesus Christ, God came to

  390. justify us. John sixteen seven and seven through nine. And

  391. I mentioned this already. Jesus said, the only sin the

  392. Holy Spirit will convict the world of is the sin

  393. of rejecting Jesus. The day of Pentecost, that was the

  394. manifestation of the Holy Ghost, was an event in the

  395. Upper Room, and it was the fulfillment of the word

  396. Jesus's promise. This time and season that we live in

  397. is still the day of Pentecost. Why but if the

  398. Day of Pentecost happened then in the Upper Room, then

  399. why are we saying we are still this is the

  400. day of Pentecost. It is the presence of the Holy

  401. Spirit that made it the day of Pentecost. But how

  402. about Jesus said he would send it me here and

  403. he would never leave us. So the Holy Spirit is

  404. still here, and as long as he's here, it is

  405. the day of Pentecost. But there's going to be a

  406. time when he's going to leave us. God used to

  407. commune with man, he left Jesus, Christ, Christ came, he

  408. communed with man, and he left. Is now the Great

  409. Eyed Priest, and he's in heaven, seated at the right

  410. end of God. Then the Holy Spirit came. He is

  411. also going to leave. That's why I said seek him

  412. last week, seek him while he may be found, because

  413. there's a time coming. There's a time coming where you

  414. wish you can pray to him and find, but he

  415. will be nowhere. The only time you have is now now,

  416. this moment in which you're alive. So the day of Pentecost,

  417. the manifestation of the Holy Ghost. That's what Pentecost was.

  418. That event in the Upper Room was the fulfillment of

  419. Jesus's promise. But this time and season, this day is

  420. still the day of Pentecost because the Holy Ghost is

  421. still with us on earth until Jesus comes back. See

  422. so if the Holy Ghost, which is God, the Holy

  423. Ghost a manifestation of God the Creator, who is also

  424. the manifestation of God the Son. So now you understand

  425. when we say alpha and damaica. Because he was there

  426. at the beginning and he's also there at the end.

  427. How do we know we're going to prove to you.

  428. Let's go to Revelations one and ten. This is an

  429. account of John, inspired by the Holy Spirit of God

  430. to write about to prophesy about the end times. I

  431. was in the what oh are you a sleep? I

  432. was in the what on the Lord's Day? And I

  433. heard behind me a what as of a trumpet. Let's

  434. finish reading. Let's go to eleven saying, I am he

  435. was there in Genesis one, and this is revelation, the

  436. last book in the Bible. And he's saying, is what behold,

  437. I stand at the beginning of your life, and I

  438. know what the end is. He said, he created your life.

  439. He orchestrated your life. That's what Jeremiah is saying when

  440. he prophesied about it. And then I caused your parents

  441. to meet, to come and birth you to live that life.

  442. I authored it. I wrote it completely. I didn't leave

  443. out any scenes. So nothing about you surprises God. Everything

  444. that you go through, the ups and the down. If

  445. you trust him, all things shall work together for your good,

  446. even the troubles that you have. You go through stuff,

  447. but it will never overtake you. You go through the fire,

  448. it won't burn you, the floods, you won't drown. That's

  449. what the scripture is telling you. So you have to

  450. connect the dots. So the entire Bible is inspired and

  451. authored and promoted by the Holy Spirit, and is the

  452. revelation of who Jesus the Christ. He comes bearing gifts

  453. the Holy Spirit. See at the beginning of saying something

  454. about witnessing to each other about God, about the Spirit

  455. of God. When I say the Spirit of God, it

  456. is still God God. The angels do it. Scripture gives

  457. an account of them singing in antiphany. This one saying

  458. he is holy, this one saying he is to be exalted,

  459. this one saying he's wonderful, this one saying he's come

  460. on excellent. They are talking about him, not to him,

  461. but the process of them talking about him in Antiphany

  462. stirs up the glory cloud, which is the Holy Spirit,

  463. the presence of God. That's why when we sing praises,

  464. Scripture says, he inhabits the praises of his people. As

  465. you sing praises, you thank him you word. He comes

  466. and he says, well for remy my bow. He inhabits

  467. the praises of his people, and he sits in there,

  468. and he executes vengeance and judgment for you, and on

  469. your behalf. See when you come, just like a check.

  470. When he feels I'm going to tell my daddy. Because

  471. every child feels his father his authority. And when his

  472. father comes, he's gonna set you straight. So if you

  473. mess with him, he's going to tell his daddy. So

  474. when he comes, when you talk about him and he comes,

  475. he shows up, he sits in the middle of this

  476. is what That's what the devil is jealous of by

  477. the way that you worship, you praise, and you're not

  478. doing it for him, so he would rather you shut

  479. your mouth. That's why I open Always say open up

  480. your mouth, because it is what you say that's going

  481. to invoke his presence. Understand what you do and why

  482. you do what you do. Open up your mouth. It's

  483. not because I want to bother you and focus presence.

  484. Talk about him in ant Tiffany, talk to him. Tell

  485. him also, God, you've done this for me, and I'm

  486. grateful because your gratitude will make room for more. Amen.

  487. When somebody does something for you in the natural, it's oh,

  488. thank you so much, I really appreciate it. It makes

  489. him want to do more. How many are married here,

  490. you do something nice for you, do something nice for

  491. your wife, and then you come, oh, honey, thank you

  492. so much. I wasn't expect Oh, oh, gradia, Saudia, trying

  493. to know my soul. It makes you want to do

  494. more because there's satisfaction in there and it goes both ways.

  495. So if you do something nice for your husband and

  496. he appreciates it, comes in girl, gee, goodie, tony tony opebia,

  497. it makes you want to do more. How about. It's

  498. the same thing with God the Father as you speak

  499. to him. When I say God the Father, God the Son, God,

  500. the Holy Spirit, I'm invoking all three of them. Remember

  501. I said they always work together, They're always in tandem.

  502. They never contradict each other. So the Holy Spirit was

  503. there in the beginning and he's also there in the end.

  504. Now I want to talk about the indwelling of the

  505. Holy Spirit. I told you he comes bearing gifts. Remember

  506. I said he failed everybody. That means there was no

  507. room left he occupied. So the indwelling of the Holy Spirit,

  508. when you desire and you yield, don't forget. God gave

  509. you free will, which is why you must choose. But

  510. when you choose and you yield and surrender totally holy

  511. to the Holy Spirit, he takes control. And that means

  512. you produce fruit. Because remember I told you, when he's around,

  513. there's signs, wonders, miracles, breakthroughs, and that he was also

  514. the power individually and for the church. And that was

  515. the birthing of the church on the day of Pentecost,

  516. so that he gave the church power to go and

  517. do what minister to preach. That was the birthing of

  518. the church by fire. I'm taking my time with this

  519. because I want you to go there in your sanctified mind.

  520. Don't treat the Bible like it's just some story they're

  521. telling about somebody somewhere. This is what you believe as

  522. a Christian. This is what you say you believe. So

  523. you understand what you do and why you do what

  524. you do. So knowing that and understanding that He comes

  525. bearing gifts, and one of the gifts is a manifestation

  526. of other tongues. What does that do for you as

  527. a believer? What a speaking tone to do for you

  528. as a believer? What does it do? Anyone? Scripture tells

  529. us the importance or speaking in tongues? Anyone. I know

  530. you're tired, I see you liking a little bit have

  531. been made the Holy Spirit quickly, liss Let us be

  532. upstanding for a minute. Yeah, come on, let us listen.

  533. Go go to someone and talk to him about talk

  534. to him about God, talk to me about the Holy Spirit.

  535. Tell them, tell them, tell them what he has done

  536. in your life. Tell him, wake up that ought to

  537. quicken you. Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him,

  538. tell him, tell him, tell him, and tell them what

  539. it does for you, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit,

  540. the infeeling of the Holy Spirit. Tell them. It gives

  541. you the power to do the work of God. It

  542. gives you the power to witness. Come on, come on,

  543. walk around, go to another person. I'm trying to get

  544. you woke so you can hear this because it's important.

  545. It is important.

  546. Okay, I were awake, I we are awake.

  547. I'm not convinced that we are awake. So the Holy

  548. Ghost is to us the comforter. If I went to

  549. introduce you, if he was supposed to be walking through

  550. the door right now, he's here already, by the way,

  551. But if he was walking through the if I had

  552. to do be an emcy and introduce him, I would

  553. ask you to be upstanding. We do it in the

  554. natural for the President, for other dignitaries. But we are

  555. talking about God, the Holy Spirit. I would tell you,

  556. please be upstanding. Receive the one that Jesus promised us

  557. as he was ascending into heaven. He is what the comforter,

  558. the one who comes to give you comfort, even when

  559. you're going through all your troubles. Come on, come on,

  560. clap you and praise him. He is your counselor in

  561. the natural or we call our lawyer's counsel because they

  562. give you direction according to the law. He's your counselor

  563. he's your counselor, he's your helper. There are things that

  564. you cannot attain by yourself, but he comes to help you,

  565. to aid you to do it. He is your intercessor.

  566. He and Jesus, Jesus the son who died for you,

  567. who is now the great high Priest. He's sitting at

  568. the right hand of God ever making intercession for you.

  569. And even when you pray, you don't know what to pray,

  570. and you get to the place where you are so

  571. burdened you're moaning and groaning. The word says he makes intercession.

  572. When you go you can't find the words to say

  573. what is going on in your life? The Holy Spirit

  574. intersees between you and the Father. Amen, tell him he's

  575. your intercessor. He is your advocate and advocate he's your

  576. strengthener and he stands by you. Amen. But that is

  577. not all of it. I want to tell you also,

  578. like I said in the beginning, the Holy Spirit is

  579. the pressed man. If you will of the Trinity. You said,

  580. this is what happened when Adam and Eve were in

  581. the garden and they sinned. And I read this in

  582. Katherine Commen's word, the Holy Spirit, the power of the

  583. Holy Spirit. She said, this is what happened. Go there

  584. in your spiritual mind. Got called a board meeting in heaven.

  585. He said, look, the one we created and we gave everything.

  586. Look at what he has gone and done. But I

  587. never intended for them to go to hell. So we're

  588. going to have to come up with a plan be

  589. for them. So this is what we're going to do.

  590. I need to have them reconcile to me. But you see,

  591. Jesus Christ offered. The Bible says God gave his only

  592. begoden son. But Jesus Christ said, I laid my life down,

  593. nobody can take it again. So Jesus Christ actually offered

  594. to come down to die, because it was going to

  595. take that blood, that efficacious blood, that sinless blood, to

  596. redeem us. So in the boardroom, Jesus said, okay, I'll

  597. go I'll take on this flesh and be born of

  598. a woman so I can enter this realm and I'll

  599. go there and I will die for their sins so

  600. I can redeem them for you. Now, the Holy Spirit said, okay, Well,

  601. the least I could do, if you're going to go

  602. down and die, is that I'll be your hype man. Yes,

  603. the Holy Spirit hypes Jesus. That's all his assignment is,

  604. from Janus to Revelation. He talks about, he magnifies, he

  605. glorifies Jesus the Christ. So he is a hype man.

  606. He is the promoter, he's a revealer. He's like in

  607. these days the blogger, the one who's putting out the Jews.

  608. Let me tell you about this Jesus Christ, who came

  609. to die for you, who can heal you, who can

  610. provide for you, who can protect you, who can do

  611. all these things for you. So that's what the Holy

  612. Spirit does, the influenza. Because he convicts, he influences. Suddenly,

  613. he doesn't force you. I suggest to you, let me

  614. remind you in case you forgot whose you are and

  615. who you belong to. So that's the Holy Spirit, and

  616. that's what he does. That's what he is to us,

  617. the helper, the intercessor, their advocate, the strengthener. He's your standby,

  618. he's always by your side. I would never leave you now,

  619. forsake you. That's what the scripture says. He's your teacher,

  620. and he's a revealer. He reveals Jesus the Christ to you,

  621. and he will remain with us individually and the church

  622. as the church until Jesus Christ comes back, as the

  623. scripture says, he will remain with us, and on that

  624. day he will take us with him those that belong

  625. to him. So if you have accepted Jesus the Christ,

  626. then you get to go with him. I told you

  627. last week, those of us who are parents, you don't

  628. go to school and take everybody's kids home with you.

  629. You go and get your on your own. You might

  630. find another kid sitting down crying, waiting for their parents,

  631. but you don't take them home down do you just

  632. comfort them and say, oh, your mommy is coming, okay,

  633. so cry and you take your little rugmuffins and take

  634. them home. That's what the Holy Spirit does for us.

  635. So it is important that we understand this manifestation of

  636. the trying God, this third personality of the trying God. Amen. Amen,

  637. somebody is blessing the Lord and you just standing there

  638. watching everything that you have, even the breath in your lungs,

  639. belong to him. It is he who breathed life into you.

  640. And if you understand that, you don't need anybody to

  641. pump and prime you. You don't have to have anybody

  642. to tell you to clap your hands or open up

  643. your mouth and give him praise because you understand that

  644. without him you are nothing. You have nothing, and you

  645. can be nothing. And it is one of your assignments

  646. as the church. You and I were at the church

  647. to promote to go out because we have the Holy Spirit,

  648. to go out and to witness, to preach. You can't

  649. have the fire and sit down. You are not meant

  650. to possess the fire and chill. That's an error. Tell

  651. your neighbor and say it's an error. It's an anomaly.

  652. Say anomaly. Even when you're in the kitchen in five minutes, Yeah,

  653. there's a reaction. So how can you possess this fire

  654. and sit down there and all your glorious, wonderful self

  655. cannot be a chairwarmer. A man, you cannot be a chairwarmer.

  656. It is forbidden. If you have him, he quickens, He quickens,

  657. and he will teach you. He will counsel you, he

  658. will order your footsteps. Somebody said, you do all so.

  659. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a symbol of

  660. our commitment to God, a sacrament of initiation. It is

  661. synonymous with regeneration. You see, when you have the Holy Spirit,

  662. when you've accepted Jesus Christ, you accepted the Holy Spirit,

  663. You've accepted God, the Creator. It is a symbol of

  664. regeneration and synonymous us with your Christian perfection. He comes

  665. you see, you're not expected to be perfect. It is

  666. he that will make you perfect. That's why he says,

  667. come as you are. So when we get the autocoll

  668. when you're thinking, oh, I want to wait till my

  669. hair is done, but he's not interested in that. Come

  670. let me fix your spirit, Let me fix your soul,

  671. because you are damaged and without him, you're not even

  672. allowed in the presence. You can stand up here if

  673. you haven't accepted, shout and sing and kobebia because you

  674. don't have a relationship with him, so when you are

  675. praising and thanking him, you acknowledge who is what he

  676. has done for you. When you worship him, he says,

  677. I have a relationship for who you are to me.

  678. If you would do that for your significant other. In

  679. the natural, you want to do things for them because

  680. of what they mean to you. You're working in time

  681. to oh, Charlie, my girl would like that too. Fat

  682. at all. You're They're always on your mind. You are

  683. consumed with their very thought. That's what the Holy Spirit

  684. does for us. Amen. I believe this sets the tone.

  685. And Pastor QUIRKU, I don't know if there's anything left

  686. for you to do, because you did all today. Let

  687. us give God thanks for his life. But as I said,

  688. they are going to be science wonders, miracles and breakthroughs

  689. when you have the infilling of the Holy Spirit. And

  690. this next segment of this Holy Ghost Night Encounter and

  691. Encounter is a meeting, Okay, in the in English they

  692. say a chance meeting, but in God there's no chance.

  693. Meetings preordained. That's what the scripture says, So there are

  694. no chance meetings. God knew you were going to be

  695. here on this day, at this hour, at this time,

  696. so you could hear about the Holy Spirit, his Holy Spirit,

  697. so that you could receive, you could understand, you could

  698. be imparted, so that you could be empowered to go

  699. out there. You can get saved. To sit down. The

  700. power came. The Holy Spirit filled you, and it gives

  701. you an unction to move, to move, to go out

  702. there and preach the word. Tell witness, Tell somebody about

  703. how good this God is. Old, taste and see that

  704. he's good. While you have something good, why are you

  705. hiding it?
