There's a need out there But here's the good thing about it. God knows what you have need of tonight And he knows what they have need of tonight and he didn't expect us to do the healing He didn't expect us to do the saving. He expects us to pray the prayer of faith. Can you do that? How many of you can pray the prayer of faith? Let me see your hand If you can pray the prayer of faith then get out of God's way just have faith in God Give them to Jesus and let's watch what God's gonna do I'm thankful that God tonight was the first night that Rita was able to walk from The living room at our home and walk out to the car get in the car by herself without the scooter the whole bed God's working.

We have to be in your presence tonight We know Lord the atmosphere has already been said as we've come into your courts with thanksgiving and praise and We asked you right now God to bless and to touch those that are in need tonight in their physical body Mentally spiritually whatever the need may be we know that you are Lord a specialist in every field those that are suffering with Sickness inside of their body raise them up I pray that you'd comfort those that are broken hearted and those that are needing your touch Lord Jesus in their mind And in their spirit lift them up I pray and let the anointing of God now fill this room to such a degree that every life is changed and challenged before we leave here tonight and we give you the glory the honor and praise for it in Jesus name and everybody believes it shout a great big amen Get up for a hour shake hands with somebody let them know how glad you are to see them in the house of the Lord tonight What a blessing it is to have all of you there joining us online that we know of There may be some of you that are brand new viewers this evening to pace assembly org and we are so thankful that you are Let us know. We have someone chatting with you online right now.   They were carrying and And apparently it was like two for one or something at Sam's because they were covered up like an ant bed over there So let me just tell you this The word of God says that if you will be faithful in your giving God will turn around into your life and bless you with just one blessing according to the book of Malachi that you Don't have room enough to receive. I know this according to Mac Matthew chapter 6 that he will take care of every need of our Life so you don't have to fear the chain and the supply chain of America may be slowed down or brought to a stop But I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread anybody claim that tonight Well, let me just tell you the only way you can claim that is if you are a person who's a giver If you're a hoarder or you're stingy then God can't open his hand on somebody. That's not opening their hand Come on somebody. I Will tell you that tomorrow and I don't know all that may be coming on the truck They just call me and told me convoy of hope has an overabundance of certain items and they're supposed to be coming in tomorrow I don't know what all that's gonna be, but we're gonna receive that entire truck load of whatever and And and and so because this church gives we have the opportunity to be that blessing and that conduit that flows So I want to encourage you to be that kind of way because the only way that Pace assembly can't be blessed is if we stop Up our avenue of being a blessing. Amen. So be a giver tonight father. Thank you for the privilege We have to give we ask you to just bless Lord in every way that In any way and every way God that you desire to do we don't have a Lord some kind of handle on you to tell you What to do you do it in the way you want to do it and we will forever give you the praise in the glory in Jesus mighty name And everybody shouted a great big amen Pastor Jason is taking Pastor T's place upstairs in the night student ministries tonight.

God will get it to us It flows through us and because of that God just keeps that blessing coming. How many of you like that kind of thing?  How many of you like that right there?

You got your Bibles open to John 16. I'm trying to get through this one-part lesson in three parts It may go four or five, but I'm really not worried about it Now a few weeks ago for those of you that may be brand-new those of you may be watching I do what's called a prophecy files update been doing it for a number of years Now and this past prophecy files update often have people That want to throw their spin doors me and tell me that I'm a conspiratorial Whatever and you know, all I do is just go by the Bible. I see it from the Bible and tell you what it looks like and because of that You can step out into some real serious arenas and sometimes people want to say well, you know That's not exactly what's happening. Well, I would just tell you that in as I've told you before in 2015 When the Supreme Court authorized same-sex marriage, I told this congregation that it would open up a pandora's box of a lying Spirit upon this nation and that's exactly what has taken place So I'm not trying to verify me. I'm just telling you God is always right And man is going to always be wrong and what you need to know is is that a lying spirit has been Been taking over our nation in multiple ways even to this day if you've watched any of the news that's been going on But just to let you know from the last prophecy files I told you and showed a piece of videotape where information was coming out about where the virus originated from and how that they kept telling everybody that it was That it did not come from this location and that Dr. Fauci kept saying that it was definitely not something that was funded In fact, he looked at one state senator ran Paul and said mr. Paul senator Paul You do not know what you're talking about your you know and and so forth and so on well Let me just show you this article This just hit Day before yesterday if you brighten it up a little bit guys. I wanted to see the date October the 22nd 2021 this just hit a Major shift the NIH National Institute for Health admits funding risky virus research in Wuhan Now, you know that I don't get out on a limb often But when I do So let me just say this humbly But righteously That from little pace down here to Washington DC and to the rest of the people that are the makers and leaders of this nation Eco help should be not only defunded but put out of business Mr. Fauci should resign immediately and be brought up on national charges because millions of people have died as a result of This very activity that's taking place. You don't have to clap your hands In fact, don't do it because some of your friends may be watching. I don't want you to lose friendships I'm just going to tell you the truth and the truth shall make you free Now you may not want to hear the truth, but the truth is the truth Alright, and so if you're gonna follow something you better follow Jesus Christ and follow this book Because he will never lie to you neither will the holy ghost Who will lead you and guide you into all truth? That's the reason why we're gonna take this lesson up here tonight Father, thank you for the privilege. We have to study your word now, and I pray that you would open up our understanding Let it be the light and living and life for us tonight in Jesus mighty name And everybody believes it shout a great big amen in the book of John chapter 16 verse number seven Starting there. Let's get this word back into your spirit as the subject matter of this lesson tonight Jesus speaking here. He says nevertheless. I Tell you the truth It is expedient for you that I go away For if I go not away the comforter. He's talking to his disciples the comforter There's the title one title of the Holy Ghost will not come unto you But if I depart I will send him unto you and when he has come He will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment of Sin because they believe not on me of righteousness because I go to my father and you see me no more of Judgment because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you But you can't bear them now. How be it when he the spirit of truth There's another title for the Holy Ghost is come he Which denotes that he is a person not a thing or a wind or an influence He is the person of the Holy Ghost he will guide you into all truth For he shall not speak of himself But whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you things to come The value here of the Holy Spirit verse 14 He shall glorify me for he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you Okay, so we talked to you a little bit over the past couple of weeks And I appreciate what pastor Jason picked up on last week Then you enjoy that lesson and break down of the anointing wasn't that powerful and and and so it's he took up this same Subject matter of the Holy Spirit. Let me say to you that Well you some of you may not have gotten this on your paper here So let's get it written down for you right here The Holy Spirit is not a power to get a hold of and use you don't use the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost Same terminology here. He is the divine power Who gets hold of us and uses us to accomplish the will of God in us bias and through us? And we got to this moment. When do we receive the Holy Ghost? Well a person receives the Holy Spirit as a mark of Identity first in what's called regeneration theological term Regaining regeneration So he's confirming that we are really a child of God How does he confirm that by the identity of the Holy Spirit coming on the inside of us first the blood and then? the spirit coming into our life and so we told you as a matter of reference And in the order of things God never does anything to contradict himself So everything is done decently in an order and in a pattern you follow what I'm saying and feast days are a real indicator of How God is going to respond and move Throughout the ages you can see that taking place when you're looking into for instance the Passover and Pentecost and even now at the Feast of trumpets and the times that we're living in right now now some folks have tried to Qualify that to say that God can only do these certain things But God is sovereign he can do what he wants to when he wants to but one things for sure We see God working in a pattern Throughout the word of God so that we can be able to understand who he is what he is what he's going to do There are certain things that you already know or should know that God is not going to do for instance One particular passage tells us in Hebrews God cannot lie God will not lie and he cannot lie So anytime you see something that might contradict and someone wants to attribute something to God as being a liar You can already know the book says God cannot lie I'm just giving you that little example right there So what you need to know as we've told you before that the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost as we refer You know, this is a synonymous term You'll find both of them referenced in the Word of God and so he the Holy Spirit is a person He has the identity of a person. He's not a Wind or fire these are all symbols of the Holy Spirit found throughout the Word of God But that's not who he is neither is he regulated to a tongue And we'll get into that a little deeper Nor is he just the influence even though tonight I'm going to talk to you about how that he is Influenced he is a person who is influencing not only the world and the things in the world But he should be as a believer Influencing us this is so important The Holy Ghost is very influential in the world. That's that we're living in today Nothing is happening without the Holy Ghost involvement in it. You hear what I'm saying and this doesn't mean just in religious realms Understand that the Spirit of God the Holy Spirit is moving in our day all around Setting things in order for what he's setting things in order and preparing the bride So for the return of Jesus Christ, this is so important And and let's just take a moment because I feel this in my spirit to help you understand how that the kingdom now Theology at which is a false doctrine says that we're gonna get everything right and then we're gonna invite Jesus to come back And take over how many of you know that's not working Okay, only six of you. Let me try that on again. Do you see what's happening in our world? All right, let me go back to the days when When mr. Romney senator Romney now was about to he was he was running for office And and people were excited about it thinking all that but he comes from a Mormon background So let me help you understand a little something right here that you need to know This is why it's so important that the Holy Spirit is not only active in your life But you are fellow shipping through the word of God to let him lead you and guide you into all truth because the eschatology Theology of Mormonism, which is the future things every their most religions and denominations and and different religions around the world Have some kind of eschatological Theology to them some future for telling none of them Accurate except the word of God Okay, I'll just set that but here is the theology in the eschatology behind Mormonism And it's much like Kingdom now that we're gonna get everything in order and then Mormonism is gonna take over Jesus Christ will come back and where he comes will be right in the middle of the Midwest according to Mormons I'm not telling you something that's not true And then for just for your information all the women Around the earth that are that have been converted to Mormonism will be perpetually pregnant and you'll populate your own planet. I Don't hear no shouts from the ladies in here And the men are not saying anything right now, that's a good thing man. That's a good place for you to be quiet Why am I saying that because Kingdom now theology about getting everything ready? Because here was the ideology behind Mr. Romney running for the presidency That he would be in the highest office of the land get things in order and then Christ would come that is according to their theological eschatology There's more to it than that and many of you. I don't think I've taught I don't think I've taught that in many many years the comparison of religions and denominations It was it is an incredible interesting study for instance The Jehovah Witness believed that they were the hundred and forty four thousand found in the book of Revelation That was a pro that was fine and dandy until their numbers rose to over a hundred and forty four thousand And then that just kind of kicks that theology right out the window That's reason why you stay with the Bible and not somebody's the All right, so I'm on back on my holy spirit That's why you must have the Holy Spirit active in your life and Not just I got saved or I got filled with the Holy Ghost baptism and now that's it. What else there's nothing else No, no, no. He is daily leading us and guiding us and Influencing our life to the things of God which will always point towards Jesus Christ. He never points to himself So if you get in an atmosphere where people are worshiping the Holy Spirit, I can assure you I know what the Holy Spirit's gonna say stop it I'm not the one to be worshiped all lights spotlights are pointing to Jesus Christ But the in the person of the Holy Spirit is Influencing us to follow. He is the Christ Inside of us Jesus is the figure the cross is the object and our faith there is What causes us to be led and guided into all truth? We're gonna break this down a little bit more for you So he is the influence of the day now watch what I'm the reason why I'm saying what I'm saying Jesus Stastically, wouldn't you say that Jesus drastically influenced the world? All right, we're here tonight because he's still influencing He's not a dead God. He's very much alive After his ascension he passed the baton To the Christ the anointing the Holy Spirit. He prayed the father and The Holy Spirit came on Pentecost the day of the birth of the church The word that's found in John 16 and 7 it is expedient the word expedient here means it is profitable It is more Aventages for you it is necessary Why would it be better that the Holy Spirit come? Because as Jesus is walking in his own body around on this earth the Holy Spirit is limited to his body He's the fullness of the Godhead bodily The Christ the anointing was in his body completely He said it's better for you that I go away when I go away When I the physical image of Jesus goes back to my father sit down at the right hand of the father I will pray the father he will send the spirit my spirit not on not some other but another of the same kind me He will come to you and he will not just be with you, but he shall be in you So now the same get this not another Holy Spirit But the same spirit that raised up the three-day dead body of Jesus Christ dwells in every believer This is so critical for you to get a hold up because we're not operating with some other spirit We're talking about the same Christ the Christ though the Holy Spirit the anointing of God Dwelling inside of every believer. Why was that so important because he was limited in The body of Jesus when the body of Jesus notice this He tells us that we are the body of Christ You'll never see it the church referred to as the body of Jesus because there's only one body of Jesus When he went back to the father, he sent his spirit now We are the body of Christ the body of his anointing and The same power that dwelt in Jesus now dwells in you and he says Greater things shall you do because I go away to my father. Well, how could that be? How could anything be greater than raising your own self up from the dead? How many of you would say that's pretty awesome right there? I mean, I'm dead and now I just say to myself get up and I'm ready to go That's pretty awesome And there was only seven of you that were impressed by that, but I'm just telling you it would be impressive if you saw it What could be greater than that? He's not talking about greater healings He's talking about how many born-again people are in this building raise your hand All right now hold your hand up don't y'all so quick you went Baptist on me Come on hang with me. Look at y'all look here now. I just got half mass anything half mass is dead raise it on up there If you've been it cost that's right All right, so so what happens now now? Jesus takes the Christ the anointing and he says greater things show you do Why is it gonna be greater?  Well, we're gonna go a little deeper here. I'm gonna try to maintain myself while my pulpit is shrinking There we go.   But you can't heal nobody either Now see we're so out of whack right here. I'm free flying right now. Are y'all with me right here? Okay, so so we are so out of whack that we we hear follow the science and suddenly we think doctors Which I have respect for those that are respectable and nurses That we have changed our mindset to think that they're the healer But any true doctor and nurse will only tell you I can treat the symptom, but only God can heal you Now you better give that in your head because I don't care what mr. Fauci said or anybody else You better know that the only healer is the one who has nail scars in his head Oh, that's where shout not just about could run right straight through there But I'll maintain myself tonight Many people why why why is it that people get all nervous when you start talking about the Holy Spirit? I'm talking about even supposedly Pentecostal people pastor. I don't want him throwing me on the floor and make me flop around like a fish Don't worry it won't happen if you're not a willing vessel you ain't gonna have to worry about it Okay But neither will you enjoy the blessings of the Lord that make us rich and out of the no sorrow the Bible says Why because I'm too rigid to say, you know what this can't be done We were talking with someone just today the radio station that said, you know what I went to I was raising a very conservative Denomination until I stepped into what was a more spirit-filled environment next thing, you know She said I didn't like people laying. I had this close thing that I didn't like people having their hands late laying their hands on me She said now I go to church. I don't care. We lay in hands on everybody believe it cuz that's what the Bible says See when you get a curl away from denominational thinking and find out what the Bible says You're gonna open up a whole new world of what God really wants to do inside of your life and use you to do Can you say man of that? This is so important. Why do people shun the Holy Spirit? Why don't don't talk about that? Let's talk about something well because when the Holy Ghost comes and is ministering and is involved and Engaged and inside of your life. There will be change and This this is where the rubber meets the road so to speak because many people shun the anointed atmosphere of The Holy Ghost because they know that it's gonna challenge them. He will challenge them to change The Holy Spirit doesn't hover upon something and it doesn't change How do you know that go all the way back to the book of Genesis the Bible says and the spirit of God moved He hovered like a hen over the chicks and what took place next then God spoke The Spirit hovered created an atmosphere and then God spoke the word The Spirit sets the atmosphere the word comes and when the word comes things change If it doesn't change then you're not in the right atmosphere Are you with me? Why is it so important because he's gonna challenge us to change and Why is it that people including those that claim to be Pentecostal or spirit-filled are very satisfied in a nominal? atmosphere where we know exactly what's gonna happen at every moment in every church service Because that requirement of change is gonna come at some point in that service Even here tonight It may be subtle it may be great, but the Holy Spirit will never leave you the way you are He didn't save you to be a saved sinner He saved you to be a saved saint and I don't have to wait for the Pope to saint me I'm already a saint of God How does that happen not because of my own righteousness, but the Holy Spirit is bearing witness in my spirit that I am born again How do you know you're born again because the Holy Spirit comes in and confirms in my spirit? The Bible says that I am born again. Are you all with me here tonight? He's orchestrating that change and there's three specific areas In the book of John that he says he's going to move in He says I'm gonna reprove you of your sin Which means I'm gonna convict you I'm gonna expose your sin and convince you that it's wrong It's talking with someone the other day and one of their children had come in contact with a really bad spirit of another child By the time the parents got a chance to talk to that child The child was young and this is important for you to understand Because the very nature of God in that child Said something is wrong here What is this? Attraction that I feel in my physical, but my spirit is saying not so Are you hearing what I'm saying?  He's not gonna show you Mohammed Buddha your pastor whatever it may be to compare to he's gonna show you the image of righteousness Who is Jesus Christ and said this is the standard to live by? That's good teaching I think he will convince you of judgment not only of the judgment that is to come for all of mankind But the judgment of ungodly influences that are happening inside of your life This is the reason why? That many people You know, I've had folks that have come to this church From different backgrounds and some that have been Catholic some that have been nothing But when they come into this place and all the sudden the Spirit of God begins to move just like you did this past weekend right and and in every service for that matter and and I have some that get Uncomfortable and then those that are saying give me more that I don't know what it is They don't even know how to describe it. I don't know what it is, but give me more of that You follow what I'm saying What is he doing the Holy Spirit? Some people are overdue in their pregnancy to do what the Holy Spirit's told him to do They're pregnant with the promise of the Spirit of God moving, but they get to deliver on what God has given to them Bless bless bless. There's only so many blessings. You can cram inside of you What is the Holy Spirit wanting to do?  Let's write some things down So I won't go back to the other lessons and describe all that to you I'm just setting this up here for tonight because You need to go back and look at all that and you can you can see what what the what the Lord is speaking about Concerning your identity with Christ and and the fact that the blood must be applied before you can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit Okay, two subsequent infillings first in regeneration second in baptism How do I know and we'll describe this in coming weeks the Lord willing? How do I know that the Holy Spirit is active and moving and that I have been baptized in the Holy Ghost? Through what the Bible describes in a pattern of events from Acts chapter 2 They spake with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance or language languages So we'll describe that a little bit more But I want to hit a little bit more about tonight about the influence of the Holy Spirit inside of our life And what he's looking to do. This is so important for us to get a hold of so I told you that Passover precedes Pentecost First the blood then the operation and the moving of the Holy Spirit the Spirit will not come upon a unsanctified unbloody vessel First the blood Passover was a feast that denoted what the exodus from Egypt and what did they do in order for them to be saved? The only way was for blood to be applied to that house a lamb for a house What took place they took a lamb not just any lamb But the one that they've been cultivating in the house the one that was pure Unblemished a type and shadow of Jesus Christ. They slew that lamb Captured the blood and painted it on the doorpost of their house What happened when the death angel came through? the the Death angel looked upon the houses that had the blood and He passed over them thus the feast a Passover it is celebrated all the time by the Jewish people We celebrated every time we wake up because the blood of Jesus has been applied and the only reason why the enemy doesn't have control of Your life is because the blood of Jesus is on the doorpost of your heart. Say you good.  So let me give you a little context of this after Passover The next feast is Pentecost Pentecost simply means 50 okay by simple definition it Marked though it denoted and this is what you're seeing in operation. I saw it today the tractors were out here in this peanut field just north of the high school and they were Cultivating and turning that harvest over and they were getting ready another one would come right behind it pick it up Shake those peanuts off and they put them in those great big Containers and haul them off and the peanut harvest just across the street is a harvest of cotton That is yet to come in We're living in the time right now literally in the calendar time of the feast Of that in gathering as it's called the feast of in gathering. There's three parts of the harvest This is denoted by the same Scripture that you find where Jesus said to his disciples in Acts 1 and 8 You shall be in due with power from on high and what else when you are filled You're going to be my witnesses and he says in Jerusalem Jerusalem Judea and Samaria and of the uttermost parts of the earth so the three Harvests takes place is Jerusalem which is the main harvest Samaria which is the corners of the field you see this in the book of Ruth explained very clearly and the uttermost parts of the earth is The gleaning is the outreach of the in gathering and that's what the Holy Spirit is going to do the Holy Spirit is Getting the church or the bride ready for the groom. That's it Everything he's doing is motivated to get the bride ready for the groom There's so many connotations that are found in that even to the degree of Of the very marriage ceremony the wedding ceremony many of the things that we take as traditional things for a wedding ceremony a marriage ceremony are taken from that That Eastern Oriental marriage ceremony and all of the different things that come about for instance throwing rice That fruitfulness is a picture of the Holy Spirit working inside of our life and to throw rice on somebody people say Well, I just throw rice on them all that kind of stuff now They do bubbles and corn and seed everything else. Why rice? Why did that happen like that because it is a sign of the fruitfulness that comes? They throw it on them for fruitfulness Are you hearing what I'm saying? Here's something that's changed if you want to know how Things have changed in our society from even a biblical pattern that many people had no idea about Watch what I'm telling you Listen carefully the last Marriage so much ceremony. I just performed. I've been told now by the county That it is no longer required every every ceremony. I've done throughout all these years required to signatures or to witnesses Where does that come from? What's that all about? It's about this The Bible already let us know let a thing be verified or confirmed in the mouth of two or three witnesses That was laying down to the law. So in other words, we wanted witnesses to be able to verify That this thing was done and done right so now and County and people have no idea but though why two why didn't they just write one down on it? Why didn't they take it completely out years ago? I'll tell you why Because now we moved away and you won't you may not see this and you may totally disagree with me But I know what I'm talking about right here Because even the things that we didn't know that were godly foundations are being eroded From society and now they tell me the county You're no longer required to have two witnesses sign the marriage certificate in order for it to be a legal marriage And when I heard this is the first time just a couple of weeks ago when I performed this marriage ceremony I found out this for the very first time So even in the most subtle things we're moving away from the influence of the Holy Spirit In our society even to the foundations what what is the one thing that the enemy has been attacking? Marriage because the family is the foundation of everything that society if you lose the family you've lost society You turn it into something that it's not According to the Word of God male female Etc. Etc. You turn that around and call it whatever you want to call it and violate the Word of God You have now told God get out So let's look at some things right here. Here's what the Holy Spirit will do You get right down here. Oops. I'm pushing the wrong button. How you like that? Imagine that there's only three of them on here, and I picked the wrong one All right, so what's going on right here is the personal activities that are ascribed to the Holy Spirit Let's look what the Holy Spirit's gonna do inside of our life. Remember, I'm talking about the Holy Spirit in the last days Why do we need the Holy Spirit? Let me just tell you something. I drove into the parking lot of Sam's today and thought I was gonna go in there. I don't know if it's a Holy Spirit of just me but that place was covered up like ants in an ant hill and I said to myself self get out of this parking lot right now Do not go in and I'm gonna just tell you in retrospect. I don't know what was going on But I'm glad I didn't go in come on somebody The more we listen to the Holy Spirit the more that we allow him to influence our life The more we're gonna find out that not only Will work in and through us, but the Bible says the very first thing that the Holy Spirit is gonna do He's gonna move in Genesis chapter number one, but the Bible says in Genesis 6 he strives with sinners Aren't you glad the Holy Spirit was striving with you for so long? Come on somebody. I'm talking about when you resist. I'm resistant. I'm not going. I'm not going and he just kept right on He wouldn't turn you lose. Thank God you're gonna see the importance of that in just a moment He strives with center the Lord says this and this is important The Bible says in Genesis 6 3 that the Lord said my spirit shall not always strive with men I'm gonna tell you in the society. We're living in right now. You can see the influencer the Holy Spirit is being pushed to the side now what let me just tell you in in in The framework of the coming of the Lord watch what I'm telling you in the book of 1st Thessalonians the Bible tells us this and I've seen All right My head's going faster than my tongue can go I've seen people post stuff on social media that was come they sat they sat in my church and Listened to the prophetic teaching in the biblical prophecy coming and yet they'll push stuff out there that is completely Theologically wrong. I saw one the other day that said you know that before the rapture the Antichrist comes that is wrong the church leaves the earth Before the Antichrist is revealed in 1st Thessalonians the Bible tells us clearly now Why is that so important because my spirit will not always strive with men here? What's here's what you can know That when the church leaves the Holy Spirit is going to change the way he operates and When he is removed the Bible says what does that mean is he leaving no no no The Holy Spirit is going to change the way he operates in the earth. It's not going to be the way it is right now You you are sitting in this building and whether you believe it or not He's influencing and touching your life right now You can sense and feel the Holy Spirit, but it's not going to be like that in the tribulation period Men are not going to be dealt with the way the Holy Spirit is dealing with people now.  I'll teach that in another lesson Number two. He's going to teach us. He's going to teach us He teaches us But when the comforter comes which is the Holy Spirit John 14 says whom the father will send in my name He shall teach you how many things all things Hey like that Now before you just go spiritual on me and tell me it's all about he's gonna just teach me Bible things I want you to know all wisdom comes from God and I don't care if it's math science legal Religious world governments, whatever that it is all Wisdom comes from God and the Holy Spirit the title of the Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom So you want to know something I ask him to reveal Come on somebody There've been times when I didn't know what to do or where to go with it and the Holy Spirit prompt me and say call this Do this Is anybody with me on that right there? You ever had that happen? That's what he will do. That's part of his operation for you What does he do number three? He gives us instruction according to acts the book of Acts chapter 13 Acts 13 and 2 and they ministered under the Lord and faster the Holy Ghost said separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work Where into I've called them he gives instruction. He's gonna give you instruction if you'll listen to him I love the fact that he's called The the comforter but he's also identified in certain places as the divine reminder the Bible said he will bring all things back to our remembrance of whatsoever Christ has said to us Jesus has said to us That's pretty good in it. I'm gonna try that on for size one more time That's pretty good in it I'm talking about he didn't say take you ginkgo in your bingo and then I'll give you some remembrance He said without all of that supplement I will divinely remind you what Jesus said have you ever studied the scripture and forgot all about it and then been in the Situation where you needed something to happen and all of a sudden up out of your spirit comes that verse of scripture that I don't know Where it is, but this is what the Bible says That's the divine reminder. That's what the Holy Spirit will do. He'll give you instruction.  He is interceding for you He's already praying the will of God for you The book of Romans tells us that when we pray in the spirit He's praying perfect prayers through us He can't pray anything outside of the will of God. That's the reason why it's important for you to pray in the spirit every day Because the Bible says we don't know how to pray for as we ought but the Spirit himself will make intercession for us Bible says with groanings You may not know what to say there've been plenty of times I've been on the floor and just grown my way right on into the presence of God Is anybody know what I'm talking about? Well, I feel something shooting up my spine right now I'm talking about groaning my way into the presence of God. I didn't need nobody lay hands on me I don't need nobody prophesied don't be throwing no oil on me me and the Holy Ghost are all up in a place Where I cannot even tell you where I'm at but somewhere behind the veil. I have found the throne room He'll intercede for us. You got a prayer partner right now. I said you got a prayer partner right now The Holy Spirit is interceding for you right now and if watch this if you'll pray according to this book You'll always agree That's another lesson for another time What does he do he gives us access to God Ephesians 2 18 says for through him we both have access by one spirit under the father think about that We have access to the father Now that may not be important to you But about two o'clock in the morning when you're sick and you don't know where to go and you can't get in the emergency room Come on somebody You can't find nobody to help you nobody wipe your forehead I have access all the way to the throne. I don't have to go through the Pope. I don't need to call the preacher I don't have to call the hotline. I can call Jesus anytime. Come on somebody He is always the songwriter said he's always on the line Worst thing in the world you can do is get out of fellowship with him and then try to get Reacquainted at two o'clock in the morning when you need him the most Get saved now Stay in fellowship and when you call him he will hear you and answer you when you pray That's a good thing in it What will he do? He will reprove us John 16 says when he's come he will reprove us of sin. What's he gonna do? He's gonna convict us of sin. How would I know unless the law the Word of God and the Holy Spirit tell me what's right And what's wrong in an amazing today? People don't know how to make decisions between right and wrong when it's staring them in the face Come on somebody.  Come on somebody See see I can feel it right out here right all past or the animals Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, you let him bite you one time Can I give you a scripture? I can give you a few weeks ago when I was preaching about the hedge The Bible says when the hedge is down the serpent bites. It's in the Bible. Go find it. He guides me now I'm gonna tell you I like this What's he gonna do for me? He's gonna guide me He's not just gonna lead me. He's gonna guide me Now why is this important the fellowship that I have on a daily basis With the Christ on the inside of me Helps me to trust his guidance To lead somebody you say hey y'all come on and they're out front. They're the leader. They're the line leader to guide Any of you fishermen out here know what I'm talking about fish or women The guide sits in the back of the boat The guide is behind whenever you see the principal in the president of the United States You don't see the secret service up in front telling him come on this way They're behind him Protecting him. They're in the crowd. They're all around some of you. You can see some of them. You can't see Wherever he goes, they're right there. I Want you to know wherever you go the Holy Spirit is like the secret service on your trail He's watching over you if something happens. He's already there That's good. He's our witness How do you know you're born again? Anyway How do you know you're born again? Well, the Bible says in Romans 8 16 the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit That we are the children of God. I Don't have to wait for somebody to tell me or to sign a card or to shake a preacher's hand The Spirit told me when I let my sins loose at the altar that I am born again Come on somebody anybody glad about that When I put my faith in the finished work of the cross if I mess up between now and the coming of the Lord if I will Put my faith in the finished work of the cross and follow John chapter 1 John chapter 1 verse number 9 if we confess our sins He's faithful and just forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness Are you here what I'm saying to you tonight when the moment that that happens the Holy Spirit is saying yes Yes, yes because he's confirming everything that Jesus is done He will not do anything outside of the cross That's where he gets off the train But in the in the boundaries of the cross and your faith put there He'll give you all the help that you need. Say amen somebody. He's my witness. How do I know? How do I know he's my witness? Well, this is how I know that through the Holy Spirit though The Holy Spirit is a person. He is not confined to a body He seeks your body because you are according to 1st Corinthians 6 19 the temple of the Holy Ghost You're the high holy place He's not dwelling in some holy of Holies behind some curtain somewhere And I can assure you when the tribulation comes and those Jews find that holy box called the Ark of the Covenant He's not gonna be in between those angels and he's not gonna be confined in that box They're gonna pull it out. They're gonna worship.  He dwells the Ark the Covenant is inside of us the Christ all of that Are y'all with me right there? Can we go a step further? This is the advantages of the Holy Spirit that's coming into our life What is he what does he do as advantage? His presence is abiding with you in that good Now you may not think about that, but I can assure you that's exactly What one of our members thought when she was driving her car on the way to church this past Sunday and the deer jumped out Not the front end of her car off deployed the the the bag the airbag there and Guess who was sitting in the other seat? Well pastor. She got in a wreck. Oh, yeah. Have you ever been in a wreck? Yeah, some of you know what I'm talking about. Aren't you glad that when you call the Lord come on I've heard stories of people that that have seen a Manifestation of God's power right there as they were in that car wreck and the angels of the Lord were gathered around about them I don't know about you, but I thank God for the presence of God You know what when we leave here in a few moments and I go get my car and you do yours He's not staying in his building As holy and as dedicated and as committed as this building is right here There's nothing physical and living to occupy preach pastor There's nothing physical to occupy in here.  You know why because there's something going on over here I don't want you to get involved it. Come on somebody The presence of the Lord the presence of the Lord. He's equipping you Acts one and eight said he shall you shall receive power. You saw you shall receive power You shall receive power After that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Are you with me? Number three his comfort is encouraging you Don't you love it when David the Bible says David after you heard a little bit about it from our evangelists this past weekend that he was Found himself at Zigg lag everything burned out his wife all the children were taken captive and even his own men turned on him But David turned around and said I will encourage myself and the Lord now He wasn't just encouraging himself guess who's encouraging him The Holy Ghost was encouraging him He didn't know what to say, but when he did open his mouth and you heard what the evangelist said this past weekend That we're in camp to round about with so great a cloud of witness that he the twelfth under the secret place Where did old David get that stuff from? I'll tell you where he got it from he got it directly as a download from the Holy Ghost into his person and Thank God little old David took the time to get his little pen out and write it down so that you and I When we get in the middle of trouble we can say he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high God Under the shadow of the Almighty he gave us something to believe Encourage yourself in the Lord the Holy Ghost is the agent of Salvation for us salvation conviction Why is it so important the Bible says the Bible says Nevertheless, I tell you the truth that's expedient for you to go away If I for me to go away if I go not away the Comforter will not come if I depart I'll send him unto you when he comes he's going to reprove the world sin righteousness of judgment now watch this Some people don't recognize how important the Holy Spirit is to our existence Let me give you this just the top shelf thing He is in the Old Testament described as the Numa The breath of the Almighty Job said in the oldest book of the Bible the breath of the Almighty have given me life Now take another breath Because it is the Numa the very Spirit of watch this for sinners and saints alike They don't know how important he is to their existence, but you and I do he's the very breath Come on, let's not sing a song and not believe what it says It's your breath In our lungs we sing these songs we don't even believe and understand what it means Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Spirit is the very breath that I breathe That's a reason why David turned around and said let everything that has breath Use the breath the Spirit is giving you to magnify God He's a God of my salvation. Why is that so important? Well, I'm gonna wrap that into these Two for you here tonight. He is the agent of sanctification He is the agent of salvation and the Holy Spirit is the agent of sanctification First Corinthians chapter 6 verse 19 and 21 No, you're not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you Which you have of God and you are not your own You're bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which By the amplified version belong to God You don't belong to yourself anymore.  I'm simplifying for you. Basically.  It is impossible You know what watch this Because you like chocolate cake and you don't like just a little bit of it You like a lot of it Tell a little story here Rita's mom was having a real hard time toward the latter part of her life and Dementia and all it was taking place and someone had stopped by the house and delivered a chocolate cake and she went in and Cut herself a piece of chocolate cake and she ate it and She went back in and cut her another piece of chocolate cake and she ate it and After a while Brother John came in some of the other came in and Said where's all the chocolate cake? She ate the whole thing You know why because our nature our natural neck come on somebody our natural man wants it all We don't know where to stop I Wish I had some help in here, but obviously you know some sanctified already. Holy adjust your halo group of people Why because we want what we want and when do we want it? Come on. We even got commercials for it What's that come crazy commercial? I want you know, whatever is money. I want it now. I want my money now We're in such a shape now that the third window in the drive-thru is completely shut down with an arrow go to the next one because we want it now Sanctification is God's spirit on the inside of you Helping you to have self control and a whole lot of other things That's just one The Holy Spirit is the agent of sanctification It's the process of setting you apart if this little clicker right here is set apart apart for God's business Then it doesn't show up at the places that are not God's business Don't even have to think twice about it because it's been set aside as the holy clicker Yeah, y'all didn't know there was such a thing you women didn't know that was such a thing But there's a holy clicker at my house sit right between our two chairs right there Touching it. What's he gonna do? Why do we need the Holy Spirit so bad today because Because when we leave out of this building and right now some of your minds are already going about tomorrow and I get it It didn't take long night before last three o'clock in the morning My eyes popped open like it was the Sun had just arose and it was time to hit the floor and go and I looked up at the clock From my horizontal position and I said it's only three o'clock Didn't make any difference at that moment my mind went right into mode and Things that I needed to do and things that I didn't get done And I was already creating lists and all that kind of stuff going on in my head I don't know what you're showing me over there, but I was raining It's about to get raining. I see so what that means is Wait a minute There is a front a cold front that is coming in from this side and it's gonna be really really bad. So I Don't understand why that you showed me that but I do understand that There's a storm coming so to speak Wow for all of you that are in Kenya tonight, there's no storm coming your way that I know of Only here in Northwest, Florida. This is all that matters. So would you mind telling me where I'm at right now? I don't know where I'm at. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Thank you very much. Here's the last one In the fun come to pace assembly Never know what's gonna happen turn into a weatherman just like that So what's the agent? What is the Holy Spirit the agent of number one? Everybody say salvation Why because the Holy Spirit the Bible says you can't even get saved unless the Holy Spirit draws you to Christ I'll get saved when I want it. No, you won't You'll get saved when the Holy Ghost says it's time or you won't get saved Well, I went down shook the preacher's hand. That don't mean nothing Understand that the rollbook of the church directory and the rollbook of heaven are two different rollbooks Well, I felt the power. I don't care what you felt until you confess your sins and believe in your heart and confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus you're not born again and then old things pass away may hold old things become brandy That's what the Holy Ghost does and number one. He's the agent of oh Come on folk. He's the agent of Listen, this is pastor appreciation day. You're giving me a hard time here tonight. It's just past weekend I thought I was doing a good job. He's the agent secondly of what? And number three, what is the agent of service?  You shall be my witnesses Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria the uttermost parts of the earth Walmart zaxby's The mall Wherever you are you're his agent Wherever you are you are the temple of the Holy Ghost You're bringing the temple into your work every day and the presence of the Lord that's around your life Suddenly changes the atmosphere in the room. Are y'all talking to me here? Let's quit fooling around with the world's mentality that I take my christian hat off on sunday on monday And put it back on on wednesday and take it off and then put it back on on sunday You are what you are every day of the week and the holy ghost is not getting off your train You just need to let him be the witness Be the witness Be the witness So let me just ask you this question and I'll come to a conclusion here If you knew that you only had tomorrow friday And saturday before jesus came on sunday morning bright and early at seven o'clock What kind of function and service Would you do what things would you forget about that are not even important? What things would you change? What person would you go back and talk to? Let me tell you my friends.  What he saved me from he saved you from yourself That's a good enough reason But let me just put the big one on you.  That's the number one reason So I've been saved and I've been sanctified I've been set apart. I'm not supposed to feel comfortable in this world And I'm gonna tell you I've read the back of the book In the book of revelation And I read the part where john says in the final few verses in the final chapter Even so come lord jesus And I read that and I thought to myself many many times What in the world that provoked john to get to such an extreme place? Where he cried out, I don't want to be here anymore Let me let me try that on again.  I ain't waiting for my ride. I ain't waiting for whatever that is I'm ready right now ladies and gentlemen It is my humble opinion that things are getting the way they are right now in this world That the holy spirit is getting the bride ready for the groom spotless without wrinkle without a spot And I can tell you that when jesus comes it will not be because we've been sitting around Kind of hanging out waiting for him to come. It's going to be something that's saying Let's let's get let's get this on. I'm ready for you to come. I don't want to live here anymore Wonder what it would take I can guarantee you right now if you could interview some folks in china That have been up underneath the oppression Afghanistan and multiple other places They would say to you don't care not about no car The supply chain Is broke down and you're not going to get your christmas gift Ain't caring nothing about no christmas gift I'm going to tell you what china christians are saying Even so You know why because the holy spirit on the inside of them says This world is not my home Right Just passing through my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home Now ladies and gentlemen if you're feeling better about staying here then you might need to check your salvation Because the bride is getting ready for another location Come on somebody What foolish bride would it be that would go all the way to the expense of getting the dress and Paying for the bill and hundreds of people and invitations and walking down the aisle and saying I do and all that kind of stuff And then they walk out the door after being pronounced and she looks at her group and says okay, I'll see you later I'm going to daddy's house I don't I'm listen. I've seen a lot of stuff at weddings I've seen little kids rip their boutonniers off and throw it right out into congregation I've seen little girls stand on that platform and say mommy come get me. I got a pee right in the middle of that whole thing But I've never seen a bride But when she went all the way through all she had to go through and the groom too That got in that car and got in separate cars and went their separate ways In fact, they said we're leaving behind the old life. We got a new one right here. I got a new love Anybody like that here tonight? Come on stand on your feet and give jesus a praise. He's right What they do here tonight?  We don't know lord at what time you're going to come But we just need to be ready And the holy spirit on the inside of us is getting us ready day by day quicken our spirit tonight lord Don't let us just be people just without a thought of what's taking place Let our affections our heart our mind our soul be focused upon you And upon your imminent return Thank you, holy ghost for being the friend that sticks closer than a brother Now guide and direct and keep all that are in this building tonight and lord Though these storms are rolling in from every direction I pray that you would keep your protecting hand Upon all your people and upon this house and upon their houses. We pray right now I thank you that you're my keeper. Hallelujah.  It's trick or treat and i'm going to give you a treat We're going to worship god. Come on. I'll see you 10 o'clock Sunday morning.


Welcome to Europe and to Denmark. The theme for the World Water Congress and exhibition in Copenhagen is water for smart, liveable cities. In Denmark, we believe water is the key to creating cities that are both sustainable and attractive places to live, and we invite you to experience how Copenhagen has done just that. In Denmark, we get all of our drinking water from groundwater, which we carefully protect and manage sustainably. Copenhagen is also a prime example of how we combine climate adaptation measures with exciting urban development. We treat close to 100% of our wastewater and as a result you can take a swim in one of Copenhagen's many half a bath. We even use our wastewater to recover both energy and resources, which contributes to a green energy system and a circular economy. It's our ambition that the water sector in Denmark should be energy and climate neutral before 2030. Join us for a week of interesting discussions on how we can shape our water future together and try a swim in one of the Habers yourself.
