-
You're listening to a message to go from acts church.
-
We hope this message will light up your team.
-
This year our team is revival. Right.
-
Last year was discipleship first. This year our team is revival.
-
And if we have this statement, it says, revival starts
-
with us. Revival starts with us, And uh, what is revival?
-
What is revival? I think God gave me this revelation
-
of what revival really means living.
-
So what is revival?
-
Living with the reality that God lives in us? So
-
our lives, we live with the reality, with the realization,
-
with the fullness, with the conviction that God lives in us. Okay,
-
So revival is the restoration of God's presence in the people,
-
restoration of God's presence in his people. And it really is, like,
-
so this year's theme is revival. You're going to talk
-
a bit about revival all throughout the next few weeks.
-
We'll talk about the Holy Spirit, but you can go
-
to the next light.
-
David, Yeah, but I want to.
-
I want to as we start this morning and from
-
the different scenarios we have we have just discussed, I
-
want to talk a little bit about what that word
-
personal revival means to me, okay, rather than because if
-
you talk about revival, sometimes we read stories about how
-
or there's a revival happening in United States in that
-
campus somewhere, and there's an out touring of the of
-
you know, the spirit, and there's people singing, and there's
-
this outward experience of what revival means. But today I
-
want to to remind us that that and also suggests
-
that really revival starts with us.
-
It's a personal journey and.
-
Rather than revival that comes from external experiences.
-
So followed me for a while.
-
So imagine we're in a place and you're caught up
-
in faith because you know, you know, the sound and
-
worship was awesome, the lights were great, and I feel
-
so revived to just to praise and pray, and it
-
happens like externally in that moment. But what happens if
-
that revival starts from williness, right, it is an awareness
-
that we have of God's presence. It's a conviction that
-
we have in our hearts, and I begin.
-
To then live a revived life.
-
Right, So it's not about the place or where revival
-
is happening. And this year, as we go into this
-
team of revival, I want to help remind us that
-
it's not about not just about the externals, not just
-
about the expressions of revival. But it starts from within us. Okay,
-
remember that Samaritan woman at a well when she got
-
a chance to meet Jesus, and she asks just one question,
-
you know.
-
Where how do we worship?
-
Should we worship on this mountain or the Jews say
-
we should worship here? And Jesus response wasn't just telling
-
about a place or physical experience, but he he draw
-
her to the to the answer of who the worshiper is,
-
true worshiper that will worship God in spirit and in truth.
-
So it really is about the person, which is you
-
and me. So point your neighbor and said, revival starts
-
with us. Okay, all right, so we'll we'll just we'll
-
do a little Bible study. And it's really coming from
-
John chapter fourteen, John chapter fourteen, and mainly this bunch
-
of verses in John chapter fourteen. And I've been reading
-
the Book of John. It's really powerful. It really shows
-
how divine Jesus is. So most most of the references
-
will be from John chapter fourteen. And and remember how
-
we started earlier with with knowing that revival starts with
-
us and the presence of God in our lives makes
-
the difference.
-
Okay. And remember when.
-
Moses was given the choice to go to the Promised
-
Land without God's presence or stay before the Promised Land
-
and continue to enjoy the presence of God. What Moses choose.
-
He wanted God's presence. So John chapter fourteen has has this.
-
The team of the whole chapter is a bit like
-
dumbank dan pastor. So dumbank dana pastor in Bahasa means
-
dumbank can I ask you something? Dubans can I ask
-
you something?
-
Right? So it was this.
-
Disciples of asking Jesus a question and just answer. And
-
then Philip asks one quite silly question and she gonna tame.
-
But you know he he got he Jesus read most words.
-
Ah, this discipline or like you know, just rebuild, rebuilt him,
-
like rebuked him a little bit. Okay, but that's just
-
a bit of context. The main the main verse which
-
I want to start with today is from John chapter fourteen,
-
verse twenty three, and he says this, if anyone loves me,
-
he will keep my word, and my father will love him,
-
and we will come to him and make our home
-
with him, make our home with him. So we've been
-
singing this song called Inhabit, inhabit, you know the song.
-
My kids also love that song. We've been worshiping with
-
it in the car. And before introduce the title, I
-
want to read some of the words from the song.
-
Okay, to.
-
Remind us what we've been singing love Because when I
-
heard the first heard the song inhabit and the title Inhabit,
-
I'm like, what kind of song is this?
-
Is it a Christian song?
-
Like we're singing about habitats and places?
-
So it was.
-
Inhabit was written by Austin Johnson, Hannah Waters, and Corey
-
Miller last year in twenty twenty five. If you haven't
-
been singing it, you know, I'm just going to read
-
the word the words to you. So in the verse
-
it says, I just want to be a place for
-
you to do well. I just want to be a
-
place for you to well, a habitation here that hosts
-
you well. I'll be the sacrifice, a living offering, So
-
come and make your home inside of me. Chorus says,
-
and Lord, your presence is all It's all that I
-
want Jesus, there's nothing worth more than you.
-
You are the reward, You are the prize.
-
Come inhabit my whole life and in the bridge the
-
declaration is the one thing that I'm living for, the
-
one thing that I'm living for is just to know
-
and to love you, Lord, whatever the cost, Lord, all
-
I want is you.
-
I just want you and to me.
-
If we really live our lives singing inhabit the song,
-
if you really live our lives this way, and if
-
you live our lives as John fourteen to any three says,
-
I truly believe we are living in revival. If we
-
really live our lives knowing that the God of the
-
universe lives in me and it not only affects, but
-
it directs my decisions, my words, my actions, then we're
-
living in revival.
-
Right.
-
So my title today is God's Home, God's Home, God's Home.
-
I'll go through four points very simply, and it's the
-
journalistic approach to looking at scripture. I'll cover where, what, who,
-
and why in John chapter fourteen. So let's stop the
-
first point and we're digging description now, Okay, let's go.
-
The first point is where where is God's Home? Where
-
is God's Home. Let's read from John chapter fourteen, verse
-
twenty two. It's on the screen. You can also read
-
on the Bibles. So in verse twenty two, there was
-
this question. Judas not discourried, one of the other disciples,
-
say to him, Lord, how is it that you will
-
manifest or show or reveal yourself to us and not
-
to the world. And Jesus answered and said to him,
-
if anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and
-
my father will love him, and we will come to
-
him and make our home with him. So we read
-
that earlier, verse twenty four. He does not love me,
-
does not keep my words. And the word which you
-
hear is not mine but the fathers who said me. So,
-
if the question is where is God's home, what would
-
answer be.
-
In us? Yep. But it's not just a given right,
-
it's conditional.
-
Does it mean that if you're a Christian declared Jesus
-
as my Lord and Savior, God lives in me?
-
Right?
-
Does it mean that if I'm just a human being,
-
God doells within me, I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit.
-
Because in the book of John it says that if
-
anyone loves me, he will keep my word. And my
-
father will love him and we will come to him
-
and make our home with him. So it is condition
-
and the answer is where is God's home from this versus,
-
It's in the person who loves God and keeps his commandments?
-
Super simple, right. So the question is do you want
-
God to be within you? Do you want God to
-
dwell in you? The answers yes. First, yes, I want
-
God to live in me in this temple, and I
-
want him in my life.
-
It answers yes.
-
Then the next thing is where and how it will
-
be in the person that loves God and keeps his commandments. Right,
-
So you can ask me a but you you say
-
that God is also omnipresent, right. Omnipresent means God's everywhere.
-
God is everywhere? Then how can he only be in
-
one person or certain conditions apply?
-
Right?
-
So I think we need to understand this word manifests
-
here is also very important because yes, God is omnipresent,
-
that's his nature.
-
God is so powerful he's everywhere.
-
He's omnipresent at the same time, but that's also the
-
manifest presence of God. Not going into deep but just
-
to quickly describe, omnipresence means God is everywhere by nature,
-
and the dwelling of manifest presence of God means God
-
makes himself known and active and relational in that life.
-
Or that situation. Okay, So just to.
-
Just to sort of give you a little illustration, it's
-
something like the sun. So the sun is always there, right,
-
The Sun's always there, correct, science.
-
Students, Does the sun disappear at night?
-
No? No, it's on another part of the world. Right,
-
So the sun is always there. The sun shines constantly,
-
just like God's omnipresence. But when we close in the house,
-
you close the curtain, we block out the sun. Then
-
we don't have the effects of the sun anymore. Like
-
in this room, right, doesn't mean the sun disappear, No,
-
it's still there, but the manifest or the presence of
-
the sun being manifested in this room is not here
-
because we close the curtains, right, something like that. It
-
means it's a bit of a simplification, but that's what
-
it means by God's manifest presence being in our lives. Okay,
-
So let's just settle that. And we know that Moses
-
again understood this very well. He knew that if God
-
said going to the promise that without my presence means
-
you know, I wouldn't be with you. Actually, when you
-
fight the battles in the Promised Land is on your own.
-
Whether you we not lose.
-
This up to your own skill, skill of the people,
-
his manifest power and his spirits, not with him in
-
the Promise Land, not with the people in the Promised Land.
-
Right, So that's just the first point. Right. Where is
-
God's home?
-
Okay, God's home is in people like us who love
-
God and follow his word.
-
Super simple. Okay, you're following me. So the statement here
-
is God dwells where.
-
He is Lord. God thewels where he is Lord. Next
-
question we ask what So if yes, I want God's
-
presence in my life. And number two, I know what
-
it means for God to manifest and do all in
-
my life, love him, follow his commandments. So then the
-
question is what what does love God and keep his
-
commandments mean? What what does it mean? So we go
-
we go to John fourteen twenty one and twenty three,
-
just two verses. Here it says this he who has
-
my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me,
-
and he who loves me will be loved by my father,
-
and I will love him and manifest myself to him.
-
Verse twenty three.
-
Jesus answered and said to him, if anyone loves me
-
and will keep my word, and my father will love
-
him and will come to him and make a home
-
with him.
-
Same versus.
-
But now we're looking at the what of what it
-
means to love God and to keep his commandments. So
-
what does it mean to love? What does it mean
-
to love? Have you experienced love before?
-
I hope?
-
So someone say yes? And it does love by your family?
-
Say she was stay with her family?
-
Right? Yeah? Yeah, So let's start with love.
-
Loving someone isn't just expressing words, right, isn't just singing
-
songs of love or or saying things only right?
-
Right?
-
So loving God isn't just expressing our words of adoration
-
or songs of worship. It's not just that the ultimate
-
expression or the ultimate outcome of our love for God
-
is one thing to please Him above everything else, one
-
thing his present more than anyone else. Obedience is the
-
result of a life that fears God and loves God.
-
Right. Obedience is the result of a life that fears
-
God and loves God.
-
So if we say we love God, but we just
-
say we love God, and we just come on a
-
Sunday and we sing songs that say that we adore
-
and love God. It's not good enough because that's just words.
-
But the outcome or the expression or the result of
-
our love for God must be shown in obedience to
-
his word.
-
Okay.
-
And that's why I love God and keep his commandments.
-
So it comes together, It comes together. I mean, we
-
can talk about this for a lot more, but essentially, yes,
-
if you want God's presence to be in our lives,
-
you want God dwell and make a home in earth.
-
We need to love God obeys commandments, and the result
-
of that is earth being obedient to His word.
-
So we talk about love for you. Let's talk about
-
a bit about obedience. Okay.
-
Sometimes when my when my kids say I love you
-
so much, Daddy, I love you. I mean, they they
-
say these to words, right as parents sometimes and uh,
-
if it has been a bad day, bad day, meaning
-
they have not followed my instructions, have not have not
-
been good children as I expect them to be, then
-
I might say, I might say.
-
Are you sure you love me? Are you sure you
-
love me?
-
Because when I told you this and this and this
-
earlier you did the opposite.
-
Oh, it's a bit like I don't know.
-
I mean, I don't know abouy necessary their mind mentally,
-
But it's true. It's true because if we really love someone,
-
our actions will also show that. Right, So how do
-
we keep his word? How do we keep his commandments?
-
The first thing is do we know God's word? Do
-
we know God's word? Or are we living in darkness?
-
So I think most obviously you.
-
Don't fall in the category we know God's word.
-
We know what God has told us to do in
-
scripture in the Bible, and that's the starting point. So
-
you need to know what God is saying to you.
-
And the most important way of knowing is knowing scripture. Okay,
-
if you are If we know God's word and we're
-
hearing God's word, but we are brushing it aside, or
-
we are suppressing it or icknowedging it or pushing it aside,
-
that's also not obedience, right, So we know we need
-
to make sure we listen and we also obey. Okay,
-
So so I know you're thinking, like, man, this does
-
apply to me.
-
I'm a good Christian.
-
And I wanted to really reflect on this properly because
-
I still go through this week after week in my
-
in my walk, we got sometimes I hear the Holy
-
Spirit telling me something, but I'm like, just puck it
-
behind for a while, do what I need to do.
-
But that is not being obedient to God's word.
-
Right, So if you can hear God's voice and you've decided, yes,
-
I want to obey, obeying God's word then also means
-
going one hundred percent to obey. Okay, So this this
-
couple of weeks, I think I didn't want to share this.
-
I'll I'll just give you a quick illustration of how
-
God has been speaking to me about this. You know,
-
every year when we give, like we have any usty giving,
-
it's about the same time where where I get a
-
substantial payout in my company as well. So every year
-
it's been getting harder to obey God's word and obey
-
God's with one hundred percent. Okay, one hundred percent means
-
hundred percent, right, Even if I if I go like
-
eighty percent of the way, it's still going to be
-
more than what I gave last year.
-
It's still going to be my biggest offering ever.
-
But it's still not obeying God's word and and that's
-
how we need to check ourselves. Like like this year,
-
I decided in my heart this this amount. I mean,
-
it's not about amount at all, right, it's not about an amount,
-
but satday my heart, I'm going to give this. It's
-
going to be my biggest offering ever. And and I say, okay, God,
-
this is my commitment. I haven't given yet. But I
-
kept hearing the Holy Spirit telling me like, is this
-
really your best?
-
And I'm like, okay, just.
-
I just put it somewhere in my life for a while,
-
and and and and and he kept just very gently
-
reminding me, right, reminding me, uh, I'm still gonna give.
-
I'm still going to give to the church.
-
God, It's gonna be my biggest offering that I've ever
-
given in my life. But is it really obeying God's word?
-
Because obeying God's word means one hundred percent, even if
-
it's ninety five percent, it's not obeying God's word. And
-
the moment I decided, I mean, it wasn't even I
-
was a published message, like just something God has been
-
doing with me. And the moment I decided, yes, I'm
-
going to obey God's word all the way. To me,
-
it was just a tenth, right, so the tide means
-
a ten ten percent means ten percent. And I said, yes,
-
I'll obey, and I just felt God's peace just overflowing
-
my life. And that's what I did because because I
-
can obey eighty percent of the way, ninety percent of
-
the way, keep whatever remained for myself really hard questions, right,
-
keep whatever remainder of myself, have that little bit extra
-
thing that I've done my part as a child of God.
-
But at that moment, actually I did not obey God. Right,
-
So which am I choosing? Am I choosing a little
-
bit more for myself and ignoring God's word? Or am
-
I going to choose obey God to his fullness and.
-
Receive his presence? Right?
-
So that's what love of God and obey his commandment is.
-
We need to know his word, We need to make
-
sure we don't suppress his word or the Holy Spirit
-
when he speaks to us, and we need to obey
-
him one hundred percent all the way and immediately.
-
Right.
-
This funny scenario one, you know, ten fifteen years ago,
-
I was driving in my car and I was in
-
the roundabout. So when you're in a roundabout, you have
-
the right of way. Right when they're in and roundabout,
-
you have the right of way. So even entering around about,
-
you need you need to give way.
-
You need to give way to the car in the roundabout.
-
Guys, come on, So if you ever get honked at
-
me in a round about, I'm doing my partner to
-
educate you. And and I was in the roundabout and
-
I was driving, and it was it was just not
-
exiting on and this lady, this driver came comes in
-
and like just ramps into my car and around about right, yeah,
-
and and then and then we came down and was like,
-
oh man, I'm late for work. It's going to work.
-
And then she ramps to my car and like, no,
-
a bit annoyed. Then I said, why didn't you stop?
-
I was going so slow and I can see me
-
driving right. And then she said, yes, but I slowed
-
down a little bit. If I didn't slow down, I
-
would have hit you even more. I'm like, what kind
-
of reason is that even if it's so like fifty
-
percent of the way, you still did not accomplish what
-
it's supposed to do. We just stop right, So I
-
cannot brain that, But this shows that if you want
-
to obey God, you need to. We need to obey
-
all the way. Halfway doesn't make sense. Don't be like that, lady.
-
Don't believe that, lady. Okay, let's go. So the first
-
is what sorry? The first is where does God dwell?
-
Where's God's home? Secondly, what does it mean to love
-
God and keep his word? And the third part is who?
-
So who the elsiness? Who elsiness? And that's the Holy Spirit,
-
John fourteen, Versus fifteen, and also verse twenty five.
-
Let's go. If you love me, keep my commandments.
-
So this team of love God keep his word keeps
-
on being repeated in John chapter fourteen, and it's also here.
-
If you love me and keep my commandments, and I
-
will pray the Father, and he will give you another
-
helper that he may abide with you forever. So if
-
you love me, keep my words, and I will pray
-
and the Father and he will give you another helper
-
that he may abide with you forever.
-
The Spirit of truth, whom.
-
The world cannot receive because he neither sees him or
-
knows him. But you know him, for he dwells with
-
you and will be in you. So the same team
-
again right, love, God keep his commandments, and God will
-
dwelling us. And who is that God had or that
-
person is the Holy Spirit. Verse twenty five says these
-
things I've spoken to you while being present with you.
-
But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
-
send in my name, he will teach you all things
-
and bring to your remembrance all things that I said
-
to you.
-
So let's talk about the Holy Spirit for a short while.
-
Right, Again, this can be another hole topic, but we'll
-
just go through a little bit about what the Holy
-
Spirit is in our lives if you haven't heard about
-
him much. So, first of all, the Holy Spirit is
-
a person, right, So it's not an it, not a thing,
-
not a spirit that we don't know.
-
It's a person. It's a person, and he was the
-
person from the beginning. Right.
-
So, uh, you know, in Genesis chapter one, we know
-
that the spirit covid over the empty void, and that's
-
the Holy Spirit. So when Jesus left this world physically
-
after he was crucified and resurrected, he promised the Holy
-
Spirit to continue to be with us until today. Right,
-
he was definrom the beginning. Then, when Jesus was crucified, resurrected,
-
and who's going to leave this earth physically. He then
-
promised the Holy Spirit to be with us from then
-
until now.
-
So we have the Holy Spirit with us.
-
Now and and the Holy Spirit is in the in
-
the original word Hebrew, spirit is rock, rock, gotta clear,
-
clear truth a little bit and spirit means win our
-
breath win or breath right.
-
Breath. So this is an expression of what the word
-
is right. The Holy Spirit is like.
-
It's like win, win is powerful, it has force, uh,
-
it has power, and breath breath gives us life.
-
So that is what the Holy Spirit is to us. Okay.
-
So in this we see that the Holy Spirit, whom
-
the Father will send in my name, he will teach
-
you all things and bring to your remembrance all things
-
that I say to you.
-
And this is who we have living in us.
-
God in the form of the Holy Spirit lives in us.
-
He will he do many things.
-
But one of the things which Jesus highlighted here is
-
he will teach you all things and bring to your
-
remembrance all things that I say to you. So I
-
want to just give one part the Holy Spirit today,
-
which I think is very important, and it comes in
-
the form of an illustration. Again, like our navigation system
-
in the car. So if you if you've driven before,
-
you use ways or Google Maps as a GPS, right,
-
and you rely on the GPS to guide you and
-
where you want to go.
-
Right.
-
So imagine all of us here right now in our lives.
-
We we have a destination to go to. Maybe it's
-
a calling that you know God has called you to do.
-
Maybe it's a role that you want to play in
-
your life.
-
Right.
-
So, the spirit of God is like that GPS that
-
guides you, and when you take the wrong turn, it
-
will rerout you.
-
Right.
-
So when you even take a wrong turn, you know,
-
ways will prompt you to you turn or to take
-
another route. It never gives up until we reach our destination. Right,
-
given that you listen and follow the directions. But if
-
you choose not to listen, you ignore it, or you
-
switch it off, then it has no power over your
-
journey anymore.
-
And that's the Holy Spirit. Love God, obey His word.
-
We give the GPS authority to tell us where to go.
-
We are going to our destination.
-
We need to give the Holy Spirit authority to guide
-
us and teach us in our lives to where we
-
are hating in our journey with Christ. So if you
-
follow the GPS, really it makes your journey more enjoyable
-
and fruitful. Right, I don't matter. Some of us are
-
still here. Like I think I know better than ways?
-
Why ways? As we use this way, I've been to
-
the route before. I know better.
-
Then you go ahead make your own choice, law, and
-
then your journey becomes the diminute delay.
-
Right.
-
So if we want to live out our full calling
-
in Christ, we need to remember that God has said
-
the Holy Spirit will teach you all things and bring
-
to your remembrance all things, and we need to follow.
-
Don't shout it off, don't ignore it. It's a simplification
-
of what the Holy Spirit is. But I think it
-
gives us a picture of how we need to live
-
our lives with the Holy Spirit.
-
Okay, And the last w is why? Why? So?
-
Why did God want to have his presence dwell with us?
-
What does God want to make his homemanness? Why has
-
God promised the Holy Spirit to be with us when
-
Jesus when left the earth physically? So the first why
-
is of course works and comes from John chapter fourteen,
-
verse twelve. Most Surely, I say to you, he who
-
believes in me, the works that I do, he will
-
do also, And greater works than this he will do,
-
because I go to my Father. So when the spirit
-
upon us, it enables us to live supernatural lives. When
-
the spirit dwells in us and lives in us, it
-
enables us to live a supernatural life.
-
Greater works than this he will do.
-
The Spirit of God enables us to fulfill our calling
-
in Christ. We we see this pattern in the Bible
-
over and over again, from the Old Testament to the
-
New Testament. So Joseph, Joseph was one of the first
-
few people who were in the spirits upon him.
-
He could understand and interpret dreams. Right.
-
That's Basil l who was filled with the spirit of God.
-
He possessed skills and wisdom in the knowledge of our artistry, right,
-
and it beg him to work with gold and silver,
-
so he was more creative in Actualapter one, vers.
-
Eight.
-
We also know that when when the spirit of God
-
came upon them, they became witnesses, you know, in Jerusalem,
-
in Judaeus and all of the and towards the end
-
of the earth. So God's spirit is very closely linked
-
to US's fulfilling our calling in him.
-
In other words, we cannot do it without God spirit.
-
For us to fulfill what Jesus mentioned here, greater work
-
that I do, he will do also, and greater work
-
than this he will do. And we need to really
-
remember this because, especially for all of us who are
-
just serving in church, in our ministries, or living out
-
our lives in different roles as parents, as teachers in
-
the marketplace, if we remove the spirit of God from
-
the equation, it can become very frustrating and we may
-
burn out because we are trying to fulfill God's calling
-
in a way that God didn't intend.
-
Right.
-
I was listening to you with Christine Christian Kane Christian Kane,
-
and I sort of paraphrase.
-
What she described here, uh, from what I heard.
-
So she said this, She's very good woven woven into
-
the fabric of God's calling in our lives.
-
Let mess in. The part of God's calling in our
-
lives is.
-
The inability to fulfill it without His spirit. In God's
-
plan for us, right, he made it only possible if
-
you rely on the Spirit of God. Woven into the
-
fabric of God's calling in our lives is the inability
-
to fulfill it without his spirit. We just can't do
-
it without the Spirit of God, and if we keep
-
trying with our own strength, we will likely burn out.
-
So why is the Spirit of God with us?
-
It's for us to fulfill our calling and need to
-
remember that for us to fulfill our calling, we need
-
the Spirit of God. Don't do it your own strength.
-
And the next why is basically he's our helper. The
-
Spirit of God is here to help us. Verse twenty
-
five to twenty seven. These things I've spoken to you
-
while being present with you. But the helper, the Holy Spirit,
-
whom the Father will send in my name, He will
-
teach you all things, bring to your remembrance all things
-
that I say to you. And verse twenty seven, this
-
is I love this this verse peace.
-
I live with you. My peace.
-
I give to you. Not as the world gives. Do
-
I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
-
neither let it be afraid.
-
Peace.
-
I leave with you my peace. I give to you,
-
not as the world gives. Do I give to you.
-
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
-
So this the encouragement to all of us this morning
-
with the this Spirit living in us, we have peace
-
that is beyond circumstance. We have peace that is beyond circumstance.
-
You know, always go through difficult things in life. Is
-
life is not a straight journey, and often we ask
-
this question, like God, why did this happen to me?
-
Or if only I'm If only I wasn't put in
-
this situation, my life would be so much more full. Right,
-
if only I wasn't born in this country, I could
-
fulfill God's calling. If only I did not feel my exam,
-
I would be doing so much better. We can always
-
ask all these kind of circumstantial questions, Right, why did
-
this happened to me? Why am I? Am I disposition?
-
Why am I like you know, receiving the shorter end
-
of the steak. But but today I want to declare
-
that that God, the peace from God, which comes from
-
the Holy Spirit, is not based on circumstance.
-
Peace basically means a.
-
Time without war, right, and I want to declare that
-
it's not It's not dead for Christians. We can have
-
war but still have peace. We can have sickness but
-
still have peace. We can have lack or uncertainty but
-
still have peace. Because this peace that the Holy Spirit
-
gives us is not as the world gives.
-
And so we do not need to be troubled. We
-
don't need to be troubled.
-
So so so then we need to stand on the
-
word of Okay, this is happening. The circumstances are difficult,
-
the sickness is great and painful. But I stand on
-
God's word. I stand on God's word, I stand.
-
On his peace.
-
I receive his peace knowing that even in this circumstance,
-
I can live life more than a conqueror. I can
-
leave life to his fullness. And I'm not going to
-
let my circumstance rob me of the calling that God
-
has on my life. And that's how we need to
-
live with the Holy Spirit. You're not going to let
-
what the enemy tries to do in our lives come
-
on the enemy. It's going to try and shoot arrows
-
that you have, put thoughts into your mind, or rob you,
-
or destroy you, or people may have evil intentions over
-
your life, destroy your family, cause conflict. But we need
-
to stand on the word of that even though that's happening,
-
I have peace that is not as the world gives,
-
not as the world understands it. I have peace, and
-
I can stand strong on the word of God in
-
this season, in this time, and believe that God will
-
bring me through.
-
So I when I declare that word over all of
-
us today.
-
That because of the Holy Spirit, he helps us, he
-
helps us. I read this short story from I think
-
Nikki Gambo was the one that that wrote it.
-
A century or.
-
So ago, a ship in a storm was dashed against
-
the rocks in Cornwall at the southwest corner of England,
-
and a fifteen year old sailor swam to safety on
-
an offshore rock. He climbed up and waited all night
-
until he was rescued.
-
The next morning.
-
A reporter interviewed him and commented, you must have been
-
shaking all night as you clung to that rock, and
-
the sailors said, yes, I trembled all night with fear
-
and coal. Then he added, but the rock never trembled once.
-
The rock never trembled once. We can go through trembling
-
circumstances in our lives. We can ask why all we want,
-
but we can also stand firm on God's word Peace
-
beyond understanding, peace, beyond understanding peace, not as the world
-
gives us that peace God lives with us today, that
-
confidence in Christ, God lives with us today. And I
-
just received that this morning. So why has God given
-
us the Holy Spirit? Is for us to be witnesses
-
to do His work and that we may stand firm
-
through the storm because of His health. I'm going to
-
call the band to come up, and I'll end with
-
this last light. So if you ask me towards the end,
-
how do I know that I have the Spirit of
-
God living in me. I want God's presence to be
-
in my life. I want him to do well and
-
make his home inside of me. How do I know?
-
And the litmus test is this, It's from Galatians five
-
twenty two. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
-
long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.
-
Against such there is no law. This is how we
-
know that God truly lives in us.
-
If we see this fruit right, Because if our root
-
really is in Christ in his presence, then the tree
-
will also bear good fruit, food of the spirit. And
-
in any moment that you see fruits that are opposite
-
of this, maybe we find ourselves hating more or feeling
-
feeling defeated or down or showing unkindness or we have
-
lack of self control in our lives, then I believe
-
we need to check our hearts to know that really
-
is the Spirit of God living within me, because if
-
He really is living within me, I will have the
-
fruit of the Spirit in my life.
