Disciple First are ready | Chan

You're listening to a message to go from ex church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

So my question for all of us here is that

in Malaysia, in West Malaysia, in particularly in Cheras, are

we all ready for him? So you're gonna look at

Matthew twenty five. Was one to was thirteen, Okay, I'm

gonna read it. You can read it together with me.

Right, So he says yeah.

In Matthew twenty five, it's a parable of ten bridesmaids

Verse one. Then the kingdom of heaven will be like

ten bridesmaids who took their lambs and went to meet

the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, five of them

were wise. The five were foolish did not take enough

olive oil for their lambs, but the other five were

wise enough to take a long extra oil. When the

bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

At midnight, they were roused by the shout, look, the

bride groom is coming, come out and meet him. All

the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lambs. Then the

five foolish one asked the others please give us some

of your oil because our lambs are going out. But

the others replied, we don't have enough for all of us.

Go to a shop and buy some for yourself. But

while they were going to buy oil, the bridegroom came.

Then those who were ready went in with him to

the marriage feast, and the door was locked. Later, when

the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside calling Lord.

Lord opened the door for us.

But he called back, believe me, I don't know you,

so you too must keep watch, for you do not

know the day or hour of my return.

Amen.

So this is a parable that Jesus was telling them,

telling everyone of these disciples when he's explaining how would

it look like when he returns again? What would the

return of Jesus look like? That was what he was

trying to see at that time. So this is why

he's saying this wedding situation, and we're wondering, why is

this wedding story looks a bit interesting because it's a

very Jewish cultural thing. Again, Jewish culture, right, weddings are

very different. So they have they have three parts in

their wedding, you know. So number one of the first

part is that the engagement, I know, all of us here,

but getting in on all of us here, I mean,

maybe also get engaged, and then we wait for the

you know, our wedding ceremony to take place. You know,

so they also say they get engaged, and then they

have the wedding ceremony. But after the wedding ceremony, there's

a very big gap to where the bride goes to

live with the bridegroom. There's a gap actually, not like

over our culture today where you know, it starts from

the wedding onwards first night already, you know, then they

are starting to live together ready, But in the Jewish culture,

it's not like that. The wedding ceremony happens first. And

what the bright groom will do is that he will

go back to his father's house and he will build

a separate room.

For him and his wife.

So they will take time because you know, for a

million nowadays, we don't do that loud.

You go and look for another place to stay. But

they will do it back.

Then where they will build a separate room for him

and his wife will be building that room. So until

they finished building this room, bride the bride doesn't know

when it is going to be done and when is

he going to come back and pick her up. So

the bridegroom will say, you've married me. Please wait, I'll

get the job done and come back and pick you up.

That's what you'll say, okay. So then he'll be waiting.

She will be waiting. So she needs to be waiting

with a bridesmiths and they'll be waiting for the return

of the bridegroom. It won't take very long, and not

like two years, ten years something like that, maybe months,

you know, or weeks or something like that. So so

she'll be waiting for the bridegroom to return. So the bridegroom,

once he has finished building the house, the room in

his father's house, he will now then bring an entire.

Parade, you know.

They will create trumpets and stuff that they'll be fit

like coming as an entire parade to come and pick

up the bride.

You know.

So that's why it says that the groom will return.

And usually they will return at midnight. I don't know why.

I never look so deep into it, but they will.

Look they will come and return picking up the bride

in midnight. So there will be a shout of a know,

there'll be a shout the bridegroom is year and then

there will be trumpets blasting, you know, and stuff like

that to alert the bridal party. So all the brides

maid and the bride are ready and they will go

out out.

They will go out.

Is that they will be to be waiting, to be

ready with lamps and oil. So they will be waiting

with a lamp because it's midnight, and with oil. So

they then will follow the groom to the with the

groom to the groom's home and then there will be

a seven day wedding feast. Imagine seven days of fist

today this day, even doing one day of feast is

so tiring already, and this is seven days of wedding feast.

You know that they will be preparing and they will

be planning. So this is the.

Jewish culture that the bride doesn't know when the groom

will come, so she must be ready with lamps and

oil all the time. So that is why Jesus uses

this story because he knows that he is the groom.

He is the groom, and the church is the bride,

and it must He's saying that the church has to

be ready more like believers, we are the bride have

to be ready. But in this story, there were two

groups of people. There were the five wise virgins, five

wise virgins who brought extra oil, and there were five

foolish virgins who did not bring extra oil. If you

ever used the oil lamp, anyone, yeah, I have used

an oil lamp. Okay, only my one brother, Yeah, I

used an oil lamp. We have not right, I'm sure

tyra have not seen oil lamb Oh hey you seen it? Okay, okay,

So you know an oil lamp where the you light

up and the wick they call it the w and

you will see the oil burning out, the oil burw

it out. So the most wisest thing for us to do,

if you want to keep the oil the lamp burning,

is to bring extra oil with you. You carry a

can of extra oil so that you can keep adding

on oil so that the lamp, the fire in the

lamp will be keep on burning. But there was this

five not so very smart people who did not bring

the extra oil. Maybe they felt like so heavy to

bring a can of oil. Maybe, or maybe they thought

that it's okay Jesus, I mean sorry, the bride, the

groom will written anytime soon, So why the hastle bringing

extra oil? Or maybe they thought that it's fine, I

can just borrow some oil from some people. I mean,

the other five got extra oil. We just borrow some

from them. So they took it for granted and they

did not bring. So what Jesus is trying to say,

all these ten virgins actually represents professing believers like us,

and especially those who are serving, those who are faithful,

those who are committed. Because we are carrying a lamp.

We're carrying the lamp, you know, and we're keeping our

fire burning. We're supposed to keep our fire burning. And

these virgins were awaiting and we imagine whether we are

waiting for the arrival of Jesus, but we don't know

when is he coming, and they did not know when

is it coming.

So what happened?

They got tired waiting, and you can see they were

tired because they were waitings so long and it was

already midnight. Then only the bridegroom came and they were

so tired, and only five after they were tired, and

then they were looking the five realized that they had

no oil on the other five realized that they fire

keep burning, and you read this story, the group only

allows five wise virgins to enter the wedding. Why why

could only the five enter and the other five couldn't enter?

Why anyone want to try answering? Why? No clue anyone?

Because they were it's already late, so they were prepared.

Anyone else want to try? Why you think only five

could enter? The five?

Wis the doors were already closed?

Yeah? But why the doors were closed to the.

They are prepared?

Okay, so everybody says they were prepared, you know, and

also they were too late already the five foolish ones

or maybeas it because they are the five the only

why so they could enter? Then the five out of

five because they were foolish? They No, no, it's not because

of that. Yes, they were not prepared, but what is

the reason why they were not prepared is because they

add no oil. The only reason they couldn't keep the

fire burning is because they had no oil, and they

had no oil to keep the fire burning. And because

they had no oil, and because they couldn't keep the

fire burning, that's why they couldn't enter inside.

Why oil?

Because the Bible frequently refers to it as the Holy Spirit,

the oil equivalents to the Holy Spirit. That is what

Jesus was saying, that that they had no oil, meaning

that they had no Holy Spirit. Oh, they ran out

of the spirit. They dried out ready no more the

fire foolish version. They may be had for a while,

but they ran out of it, or they forgot about it.

They did not put extra oil into it. They could

not put extra attention to it, you know, so they

did not have it. So most of the times us

as believer, we also slumber without realizing that we are

no longer in communion with the Holy Spirit, that we also.

Are running dry.

And most of the time as believers, we don't realize

that we are actually running dry. Just like the five

foolish virgins who had oil and they thought like, oh,

it's all right, I can just keep it burning. We

also sometimes say that it's okay as a believer, I

can just keep it burning burning on my own, until

we never realize that actually we ran dry, or sometimes

we don't realize that we procrastinate, just like them. They

were like, Ah, it's okay, I think we can just

borrow it from someone. I think we can just you know,

get it later I can go to the shop and

get it later, you know, And we procrastinate from not

allowing ourselves to experience the Holy Spirit.

We say that, oh, it's okay.

Maybe not today, maybe next week, maybe next month, maybe

when after I already have a good career, or maybe

after I've retired, then.

I will serve the lot.

Maybe when I have everything I need, then I will

give my life to the Holy Spirit and live according

to the challenge that the Holy Spirit puts.

Sometimes we're not already.

We're doing it everything that we like and we want

to and we say that it's okay not to be

ready yet. Sometimes we don't realize that we have a

lamp but no.

Oil in it.

Meaning you're serving, you're doing everything, You're fulfilling all the

obligations that you need to do in serving in church.

You know, you read your Bible, you come to Sunday,

but no oil inside. It's carrying an empty lamp, not

realizing that the fire is just going to burn out soon.

Maybe there's no fire at all. And another thing, what

the foolish versions do? They go to those with oil

and the ass give us some of your oil, Give

us some of your oil, and the wise one says

that we don't have enough for all of us. Go

get yourself your own oil, because let me tell you,

there's no second nd oil. There's no second d anointing

of the Holy Spirit. A lot of us are relying

on a second nd oil. You're relying on my oil.

You're relying on probably past the glorious oil, as she teaches,

as she preaches, as she ministers, where we are not

having our own oil. We are not asking the Lord

to anoint us. You're not asking the lot to fill

us with this holy spirit. We are not seeking Holy

Spirit on our own. But we are relying on second

nd oil. You're so used to relying towards the pulpit

and do not rely to the Lord directly and seek

the lot directly, seek the power the Holy Spirit directly.

There's no second nd oil.

So are we borrowing someone's the anointing of someone else,

because in the last days you will not have that

opportunity to borrow someone's oil, or let me just last minute.

It cannot be like, oh it's okay, let me just

take for my brother. My brother is a little bit

more oil. Oh but Lord, my husband is a believer.

I can can I just stag along? No, But Lord,

my wife, she goes to church every week, she serves.

Can I just tag along?

No, there's an individual oil, there's an individual individual anointing.

But the Lord has placed over every single person, and

it is upon you and you alone to.

Seek for it. Because you can read Enjoe to was

Cha two twenty eight, twenty nine.

And it shall come to pass afterwards that I'll pour

out my flesh and my spirit on all flesh. Your

sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your ol men shall

dream dreams, and young men shall see vision. And also

my men servant, and on my maid servants. I will

pour out my spirit in those days. You can read

these words, and he says that all flesh, sons, daughters,

young men, all men, the men's servant, maid servant. The

Holy Spirit is for all. So the annoying thing that

comes from the Holy Spirit is for all of us.

And there's nothing that could stop us from receiving the

annoying thing and the power of the Holy Spirit unless

we have not repented, unless we have not given our

lives to Jesus. You know the last words of the

Bright Room. If you read it it says that believe me,

I don't know you.

I do not know you.

That was the last words of the bridegroom. The bridegroom

did not say you didn't work hard enough. The bridegroom

did not say you didn't serve hard enough. The bridegroom

say you didn't give enough. The bridegroom didn't say you

didn't I don't know almost say a lot of things

about me enough. You didn't say that, this, enough, that enough.

It just says I don't know you. So the entry,

the ticket to enter inside his fees is whether you

know whether you have the Holy Spirit inside of you

or not, Because how does he identify you? How does

he identify the five virgins can enter and the other

five can enter?

Is because they had oil.

And their lamp was burning, and that was the only

criteria for them to enter inside.

There was not no other thing.

There was no effort needed, there was no work needed,

there was no serving needed, there was not enough giving needed.

But it is the Holy Spirit.

So what allows us to be there with the Lord,

what allows us to be there in the Kingdom of

the Lord, is that whether we have the spirit inside

of us or not. Romans aid was nine saisties. But

you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit.

If indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now,

if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he

is not his. So that was the criteria, whether you

have the Spirit of Christ in you or not in you.

If you have it, then you are His. And if

you do not have it, then you're not his. So

the oil, that is what the oil refers to. Whether

you have oil, you are his, don't have oil.

Not.

But most of the time what happens is that we serve.

We we we come to church. We do many things

without the oil without thinking that that we we think

that we can just get in or go through without

having the oil, without having the Holy Spirit. We can

just do our own thing to get there. You can

have outward commitment but lack inward devotion. You can be

all committed outside, you can be every Sunday, but yet

you have not fully encountered the Holy Spirit. But yet

fully you have not given your life for Jesus and

live your life for him.

You can come for services, but have no surrender. Every service.

You're there, but you have not fully surrendered yourself to

the Holy Spirit. You're not living alive that is surrendered

to Jesus. You're still in control. You still want to

be in control. You still want to do it your

own way. You still want to do it your own,

your own things. You still want to go like, I

don't know, some Ca pop band. You know you're still

are big fans of that. But and you can give

everything you want for that, But you've not chosen to

surrender your life to Jesus because it's just an outward thing.

Outward I don't know presentation, you know. That's why Matthew

fifteen verse eight says, yeah, he's not there but in

the slight. But I'm just saying it out. Matthew fifteen

eight says, Yeah, these people honor me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is fast,

for they teach man made ideas as commands from God. Yeah,

you can honor, you can sing and all, but but

if your heart is not there, if you're not fully surrendered,

then you're just obligations. You can sing about Him but

not seek him. You can come to church and Sunday

you can sing every worship song that is out there.

I'll make room I'll make. But the question is are

you really making room? Are you really seeking him on

a daily basis or is it just reserved for Sunday

six days a week. I'm a different person, but on

Sunday I'm another person. I see, I'm only singing so

you can sing, but not seeking.

So what we gotta do now?

We have to come to a place to decide whether

you need and you want a good time or a

god time. I tell you, in this world today everybody

is after good times. Everybody likes and loves to enjoy.

Are you having a good time? Yes, I am having

a good time. You know.

Sometimes you won't come into a worship service expecting that

we will have a good time, and if we don't

like it, if we don't like it, we'll be like, oh,

it was not really a good time here.

Let me go to another place.

Let me go to another church that probably has a

little bit more good times.

You know. And we are.

Always after good time. We want everything to be good

and nice and fun and fancy and great, but we

never really want a god time. The question is whither

are we encountering the Lord every Sunday when we come

in are we experiencing God on another level. Are we

truly humbly coming to a place to seek Him on

another level? Or are we just after nice good songs,

nice good experience, a nice good expression at the back there?

Oh? Are we after God?

I just need you in a place of desperation for

the Lord. If we have to decide, we are the

ones that can desire what we want in this situation.

If you're after good time, we don't be able to

have a time where you really encounter God. Sometimes we

want good times from five or every day in our lives.

Every decision that we make towards our lives is so

that we can have a good time, a good season,

a good life. But not not all good it's from

the Lord. We have to come to an agreement to

believe and accept that not all good time is from

the Lord. You know, we can have a good life

but yet no evidence of God in it. But we

can have a godly life, life that is full we experience,

experience and encounter with the lot.

But a life that is not so good in the

world's eyes. You know.

It's like those who get persecuted for their faith. And

there are many in those different countries When they decide

to follow Jesus, it's isolation from their community. Family, community

rejects them, kicks them out of the house. Sometimes they

are tortured, they are sent to brainwashing camps, you know,

and they get beaten, bruised up. That's not a good

life at all, nothing good about that. But every day

they say, I have Jesus with me. I can see Jesus.

Every time I get beaten. There's the Man looking at me,

and I'm happy.

I am so.

Happy and privileged that the Lord has chosen me to

be tortured for his names. These are words of those

who are being persecuted, not one hundred years ago, right

now in this current generation, that they are not having

a good time.

Well, they are having God time. They are having God

every day.

I'm not saying that we all need to be tortured

and persecuted. I'm not saying that. But what I'm trying

to say is that we have to come to a

place to know whether do we just want to go

after good times in our life or do we want

to have to go after God in our lives. Because

you know, there's a church there's such same as this

in Revelation it's the church in Laodicia. You know, Revelations Tree,

verse seventeen says that because you say I am rich,

I've become wealthy, and I have need of nothing, but

you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor,

blind and naked. So this is a church in Loudca.

Right was planted by one of the disciples of Paul.

Was doing so well. They were really doing so well.

This is a church that you know, if you read

the relations Tree, that Jesus will say that I will

you're not call, neither your call, neither you're hot. I'm

gonna you look warm, and I'm gonna spit you out

of my mouth. They were doing so well as a church,

they were growing, but later on they were fixed with

something else. Ready because everyone in the church economically in Loudica,

everyone was doing very well at that time.

Already they were earning well. They were very comfortable.

So they said they come to a place to say

that I have everything and I have no need of

I have need of nothing, I don't need anything else.

They became comfortable and they were seeking other things. They

were thinking, how can I make things more pleasurable, more

fun and more good? But Jesus reminds this church that

you do not know, that you are actually wretched and miserable,

poor and naked and blind, that you do not know

you're going to this direction.

So we have to be.

Clear, because what can happen is that there's three things

that without the Spirit, you will go after just praise,

position and possession. And if you don't have the Holy

Spirit in you, if you are not under the Holy Spirit,

you're not living in community with the Holy Spirit, you'll

go after praise. You want people to praise you, well done, Truman,

So you could answer, aren't you you know, I'm just joking, Yeah,

you know. Or you will say things like that, and

you will want people to praise you. You will do

things in order people for people to praise you or

well done. Wait, you have to go after validation. You

after position. You want the highest position in your job,

in your in the church, in your marketplace, wherever you are.

You will want to be in a high position.

And you will say that I need to climb up,

and I need to keep climbing, and you'll after possession.

You want more and more and more. A little bit

is not enough, Maybe it might be, won't be enough.

Maybe for two days enough, and tomorrow I want to

say vic you know, maybe after that I need a BMW.

And it keeps way bigger, and you want more and more.

Without the spirit, you will go after this. And this

is what the church Lordysia were doing. They were after praise, possession,

and position. And that's what Jesus tells them that in

Revelation Street twenty before, I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone years my woice and opens the door, I

will come into him and dine with him, and he

with me. You will be in this communion with Jesus,

but only when you're able to.

Him and allow him.

Inside of you. Only then you can do that. So

we have to ask ourselves. Is Jesus outside our house knocking?

But he couldn't enter inside because there are too many

things already filled up in his place. It's a spirit

knocking your heart, one thing to enter inside, but there

are so many things have already taken his place inside

your heart. You got no room for Jesus. You are

no room for the Holy Spirit. You can ask yourself

because same thing that John fourteen twenty three says, if

anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my

father will love him. We will come to him and

make our home with him. If you love him, if

you follow his words, if you love him, he'll make

his home within you. Yeah, are we making home? Are

making room for for the.

Holy Spirit inside?

Ezekiel thirty six ver Was twenty six or seven says

that I'll give you a new heart and put a

new spirit within you. I will take a heart of

take the heart of stone out of your flesh, and

give you a heart of flesh. I'll put my spirit

within you, cause you to walk in my statutes, and

you will keep my judgment and do them.

You know. Yeah, he says, yeah, that.

I will put my spirit within you and cause you

to walk in my statutes, and you will keep my

judgment and do them. So without the spirit, there's nothing

that will cause you to actually walk.

In his way. You need the spirit to obey him.

Without the spirit, you're just trying to It's all just

your effort. You're imitating it. But there's nothing out of

really true obedience. And I imagine if you you go

to a Dorian shop, okay, in your order, you ask

for mosaki. Yeah, and you ask for mosaki and then

they bring out outside looks like mousaki, and then you

open it and you taste it tastes nowhere like mosanki

exactly exactly what is going on. Fruit of the Spirit.

It already says it's the fruit of the Spirit. But

a lot of times what we do is that we

are imitating it. We tell ourselves, we tell the people, oh,

you have to be patient, kind gentle, self control, you

have to all have all that, But you're trying to

do it on your own, and you're imitating your own

way of how it looks like instead of it being from.

The fruit of the Spirit.

Is the fruit of Truman, The food of Trident is

the fruit of child. It's the fruit of It is

our fruit. We are imitating our own way of kindness

and gentleness, instead of saying it is coming from the

Holy Spirit. Really, if it comes from the Holy Spirit,

that will be the fruit. Then you will walk in

his judgment, then you will obey. So question today I

want to ask you that would you let a spirit

inside of you today? Would you let a spirit to

take over you today? You might be wondering, do I

have it already or not? A might with it or not?

It's a spirit in you. There's a question you gotta

ask yourself. Judges sixteen, verse twenty says, yeah, but he

did not know that the Lord had departed from him.

You know, this is Samson.

Samson at the time was you know, lying in the

lap of Delilah, and he was enjoying his life. Delilah

cuts his hair, and then and the Philistine army comes

to arrest, and then he says that, oh, I'm gonna

now just beat them all up and continue walking my

way in Then he didn't realize that the Holy Spirit

that departed from him long time already. Sometimes we are

also laying in the lap of the world. We don't

realize that the Holy Spirit long time I've departed from

us already, and we're just doing our own thing, thinking

assuming that we still have the oil for Samuel sixteen

says that when the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul,

there was a distressing spirit the trouble in him. Are

you distressed all the time? Are you in anxiety all

the time? Are you in pressure? Are you in fear

confusion all the time? Maybe you do not have the

spirit of the Lord is inside of you yet, because

where the Spirit of the Lord is.

There is freedom where the Spirit of the Lord is.

I Will says that the fullness of joy will come

upon those who have.

The Spirit of the Lord. You can read it in

an extra spirit was his flesh.

Whether are you're working in flesh or are you working

in spirit? The first thing is when the spirit is

inside of you, you'll be bold because the spirit of

the Lord is not the spirit of timidity.

Peter, before you had the Holy Spirit in.

Him, Jesus was going to be tortured and crucified. You

rejected jesus treat time. But after being filled by the

Holy Spirit, he was able to stand before three thousand

people and preach before three thousand people x four thirty

one disciples peak the word with boldness. After being filled,

they were bold to share the Gospel anywhere they go.

Most of us say that, oh, I'm not yet ready.

I'm afraid to share the Gospel to my friends or

to my family because the boldness from the spirit is

not there, if not the Holy Spirit.

Next one his repentance was his ritual. Jo All Too says, yeah,

you know, return to me with all.

Your heart, rend your hearts and not your garments because

in the Jewish context. Back then, when people wanted to

show that they are repenting, what they will do is

they will tear their clothes and show that Lord, look

at me. I'm repenting right now to you. I'm humbling

myself to you. They'll tear your clothes. They'll, you know,

and say so. The Lord reminds them, ruin your heart.

Tear your heart and not your garments. I don't want

your garments. I don't need your clothes. I need your heart.

So return to me with all your heart. Repentance is

a place where you come. Repentance is the meaning of

you turn yourself completely. It's not just about repenting from

a particular sin. Most of it's mistaken it all the time,

but it's about changing our old life. It is I

maybe even you are living a good life, but it

is saying that I don't want that life and I

want to live fully for Jesus full change, completely change.

Nothing to do with the old life. Even it was

there were things that you like doing. Now no longer

you like doing it. Even if it's like, oh it's

not it's not a sin, but still you're changed, fully repentant,

and you don't want that life. The other one is

obedient versus disobedience again, is it? Kil thirty six says yeah.

When I put my spirit within you, I'll cause you

to walk in my statutes. He's struggling to obey the Lord,

and every time you pray and ask the lod Lord,

I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want

to commit this sin anymore. I don't want to watch

pornography anymore. You know, you pray, I don't want to

commit that sin anymore. But yet you keep doing it

again and again, you fall back to it again and

again you fall into it again. It's because he's trying

to obey it with your own strength. You're not fully obedient,

not fully surrendered yet to the Holy Spirit.

And let the Holy Spirit be the one to do

the work in you.

And I tell you you will no longer have that

desire to do that sin again.

Last one is supernatural versus natural two thirty sashes.

I will show wonders in the heavens and the earth,

and the Holy Spirit is here. You will flow in wisdom.

You will flow and knowledge. There will be your faith,

You will move by faith. There will be healing happening.

Supernatural healing in the year, prophecies and prophecies happening in

your life, and tongues also will take place.

You know, these are in two hours.

The Book of Acts, there was no like, you know,

structure or sequences of how the Spirit comes upon you.

You know, in.

In certain cases they were baptized first and then they

received the Holy Spirit. In certain cases they were they

received the Holy Spirit first, then only they were baptized.

They were. They are different ways because the Spirit.

Moves not according to structure, not according to plan, not

according to those things. But when there's a constant desire,

the only requirement for the Holy Spirit is a constant desire.

Every one of them.

In the Book of Facts were able to encounter the

Holy Spirit because they were in constant desire to experience

the Lord.

You want to see.

Miracles, supernatural healing, just God doing great wonders of things

in your life. It will not be possible if there's

no Holy Spirit. You know, really early, if you want

to experience a supernatural power, if you have been in

some way, you've been stuck in your life for so

long in that one particular situation, it could be a sickness,

it could be a pain. It could be an unforgiveness,

and you want to be delivered from it. Only by

the power of the Holy Spirit, you can and you

shall be delivered by it.

So do you want to receive the spirit? Do you

have the desire to receive the spirit? How then you receive?

Say say in Acts chapter two West thirty eight, repent

and let every one of you be baptized the name

of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins.

You shall receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When

you repent.

Turn away from your own life and say that Lord,

I just want to live my life for you, after you,

after your ways, after your will, you.

Will receive it. And another thing.

Is the leaders laid the apostles at the time, laid

their hands on the people in pray. It over those

who are desiring to receive the Holy Spirit, and they

received the Holy Spirit. And those who heard the word

of the Lord from Peter, the whole spirit fell upon those.

Were hearing the wind. They're just many ways.

But again I mentioned repentance is key. If you're not

repenting from your old way, you will not.

Be able to experience the Holy Spirit.

If you're not coming to a place that where we

want to desire to see God moving your life, you

will not be able to experience the Holy Spirit. And

I'm saying this out of love. I'm saying this out

of the desire to say that every one of us

can just really experience God on another level. I mean,

we are in the generation where we're not praying enough,

we're not seeking the Lord enough. We have all the technology, jeez,

and we think that we can figure out which had

jipity a lot of things, but yeah, we cannot.

We are far away. You know.

It says that Matthew fifteen says that their lips honor me,

but their.

Hearts are far from me.

Oh, we don't want to get in that place. We

want to be filled with the oil. You know, the

foolish versions, right. The mistake they did is that they

waited too long. They waited too long, and they missed

the opportunity. We don't want to be in that place.

You're gonna call the band up in front. I'm done

here already, and really we don't want to miss an

opportunity just because we think that.

Or not yet, not the right time. I still have.

A lot of things to figure out, or even you

think that I'm not perfect. Yet I want to do

everything right first before I give my life to Jesus,

and when I fully lived my life for Jesus, committed

for the Lord. And yet I'm not telling you to

come in. A full time serves a lot of full time. No,

I'm not saying that because there was no such things

as full time in the Bible in that sense, because

even Paul was a tent maker for a very long time,

and it was sustaining his ministry even before he went

to do it on his own full time. There's no

words like that. But it is about your spirit being.

It's about your being and where your heart is. Where

you have come to a place to say that, Lord,

I will follow you.

I'll live my life for you. I will. I'll walk

in here.

You will set the path before me, and I will

take only that path. The other part might seem more great, more,

see more, fancy, must seem like you have all the

goals and the desires that I have. But yet if

it's not you, I will not go. And I will

follow your way, even if it's the hardest way, even

if it's the most challenging way.

Because narrow is the path narrow, it's gonna be hard.

You can't carry baggages with you entering a narrow path

because it's gonna be so tight and narrow the bags

that you're carrying with you cannot enter. Do you want

to be burning or based snoozing? And you really want

to let the Lord come inside? Because Jesus says in

the Revelation Street twenty is mentioned already, you know that

he is knocking, is knocking. We all eyes stand at

the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and

opens the door, I will come in to him and

dine with him, and he with me. The Lord will

set a table before you, even in the presence of

your enemies, and you'll be able to be in communion

with him.

Can we let him come into our lives?

Give our lives fully to Jesus, Give our lives to

the Holy Spirit, and say, the Holy Spirit come take

over the meat today a desire for.

You use me. Can we come to that place?
