Hello, everyone. My name is Ciprian Hackman. I'm a DevOps engineer working for Poly Poly, and today we'll be talking about the ROTE IPv6 support in K-Opps. What is K-Opps? K-Opps is a cloud-aware Kubernetes installer. Provision is the underware cloud infrastructure and also installs the Kubernetes 4 components, including add-ons. Since K-Opps owns the life cycle of both the cloud resources and Kubernetes, it can handle all aspects of creating an IPv6 Kubernetes cluster. Focus so far has been on AWS and GCE, but adding other clouds should not be an issue. Why IPv6? Larger address space allows for simple flat network architecture. No need for NAT, no need for complex calculations and doing magic with subnets. Easier to avoid IPv6 conflicts between VPCs accounts companies. Native cloud route, native routing for pods allows direct targeting behind load balancers without going through kube proxy or node port. It's both performance and debugging improvement. CNIs can also be much simpler if they are designed for IPv6. This is not to say that current CNIs are not IPv6 aware, but they are designed with IPv4 in mind and have to deal with all the limitations of it. We decided early on that we would support single stack addressing for pod networking and do all stack at the edge. This allowed to reduce the complexity of the development and very easy to assess the current status of IPv6 in Kubernetes. Also support for dual stack is quite complex and negates many of the benefits of IPv6. Not many would be able to migrate IPv4 single stack clusters to dual stack anyway, again due to complexity and risks and downtime. As at the time instances were only allowed to get single IPv6 addresses, we decided to use unique local addresses. This does not unlock the real benefits of IPv6 as NAT is still required, but the assessment of Kubernetes readiness can be done. It also requires overlay networking and tunnels between nodes, but we were ready for that. Well, ready, but not quite. IPv6 must be configured in lots of places and I really mean lots of places. So both control plane and CNI must be configured and they must actually agree on that configuration. After we found out the right settings with the help of the Kubernetes developers, we hit a challenge with AWS cloud provider. It was not aware of IPv6 addresses at all, which was not really good for us as we needed it to assign the IPv6 addresses to node objects. We fixed that and again another challenge IP addresses were not prioritized as we expected. After many debates, the decision was that cloud controller should send the IP addresses in the order that it desired to be used. So it basically decided the priority. We fixed that and fixed that and tests were possible now. We created periodic tests and we tried them for some time. During this time together with other developers, we fixed all the needs that we found mostly testing issues, but there were some minor issues in Kubernetes too. And we thought that this was it for now. What a surprise. My name means so much, yes. And I work at Sport River and at Sport River, we are really interested in those benefits that we mentioned earlier. And last fall, AWS released a number of IPv6 features that allowed us to implement just that. So we decided that local unique addressing isn't really going to give us any of those benefits. So we decided to drop the port for that and focused on global addressing instead. So global addressing required us to do quite a few changes in how we provision our networking. So we had to enable not 64, but 64 so that the cluster can reach things without an IPv6 address. We had to do some changes to the round tables. We had to do some changes to the north templates. On instances, we also had to do things like disabling last grade and overlays, since they would be getting in the way when we are using global routing. Launch templates also doesn't allow you to configure both an IPv6 address and a prefix at instance creation time. So in the launch templates, we said that instances are assigned automatically a single IPv6 address. While during the bootstrapping of the instance, we had to create our own object for provisioning IPv6 prefix for the instance. We also had to do something that would take the assigned IPv6 prefix and give it to the corresponding node object so that the cluster knows what IP addresses on schedule for the given instance can receive. When all this was put together, we had something that looked like this. As you can see, there is a mixture between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. And the reason for that is not queuing up. It was a little bit inconsistent with what address family it used for host network. So all the points that you see here with IPv4 addresses are those running with point network enabled. And this cluster lasted for about five minutes. We were primarily testing on Ubuntu. And on Ubuntu, there was a bug in system D network B that when they tried to renew the DSP at least, it would get a reply from AWS containing both the single address and the prefix. And it would fail to properly parse those and just decide to remove everything. So all the instances after about five minutes no longer had any addresses assigned. On other distros that we were testing this with, we had a few other minor issues. Like, for example, it was a bit tricky to configure the kernel to properly accept the router announcements. Since when you're using prefixes, router announcements are disabled by default. But we actually managed to either fix the merchant bugs or work around them. And we now support the VN10 and new Ubuntu LTS where it was just released. As mentioned, we had to create something that was aware of the prefixes that AWS would assign to the instances. By default, there's a controller that looks at the whole cluster-wide sider and takes the subnet from that big sider and assigns it to each of the new nodes. And that wouldn't work since the node sider has to match the prefix assigned to the instance. So we had to disable the controller that counts this logic by default and create our own controller that was aware of the prefix that AWS had assigned and that patched the corresponding node object, giving it that prefix as its pod sider. The really cool thing about this is that CNIs are completely unaware of what's going on in them. So all the cloud-specific stuff with prefixes and all that is hidden behind that controller. So that means that any CNI can support global routing with every six out of the box without doing any changes as long as it's configured to look at the node object's pod sider. The controller currently runs as part of the X controller, but theoretically, it could be a final standalone or it can run as part of the control manager. Hello, my name is John Myers and I work at Proofpoint. At Proofpoint, we are particularly interested in how IPv6 can solve problems with local IP address allocation. CAOPS initially implemented IPv6 using public topology because it is simpler. In public topology, all nodes are dual stack and are accessible from the public internet. In order to allow non-host network pods to connect to IPv4 targets, we enabled DNS64 and core DNS and the local DNS. In order to do the latter, we submitted a PR to Kubernetes DNS adding the DNS64 plugin. CAOPS creates a NAT gateway in each zone in order to perform the NAT64. After AWS released support for IPv6-only subnets, we implemented private topology. In private topology, we have three types of subnets. First, at the edge, we have dual stack utility subnets. This is where CAOPS put NAT gateways and public load balancers. It does not put in any nodes in these subnets. Worker nodes are placed in IPv6-only private subnets. In order for the nodes to connect to IPv4 services, CAOPS enables DNS64 in the subnets AWS DNS servers. It routes the NAT64 range to the NAT gateway in the zone's utility subnet and the rest of IPv6 to an egress-only internet gateway. For the control plane nodes, CAOPS creates a new type of subnet called dual stack. Control plane nodes need to be dual stack because CAOPS uses instance targets for the API server load balancer and AWS load balancers only support IPv4 for instance targets. This type of subnet is like public subnets, except nodes don't get public IPv4 addresses and it uses an egress-only internet gateway. CAOPS needs to make some arbitrary assignments for in-cluster resources. As these addresses are not routable from outside the cluster, they are made from the unique local address space, though they are not technically unique. For the Kubernetes service network, I attempted to spell service in x-decimal. You kind of have to squint a lot. For node local DNS, I attempted to spell node DNS. There is additional work needed in upstream projects in order to get a practically functioning cluster. At the time this talk was recorded, we don't yet have the AWS load balancer controller working. This is probably because CAOPS wasn't giving it sufficient IAM permissions. The AWS Cloud Controller Manager service controller doesn't work with IPv6, so we will need to disable that and use LBC for services of type load balancer. A lot of LBC's defaults are only appropriate for IPv4. We hope to make it configurable to use a set of defaults appropriate for IPv6 when running on IPv6 clusters. External DNS currently doesn't support QoT A records. This is a work in progress. Hi, so I'm Justin, I work at Google, and so I thought it would be good to tackle the question of how specific to AWS this work is. Now that all this great work has been done by the Kubernetes community for IPv6 and by the CAOPS and AWS team specifically for running a full cluster on AWS, can we just run this on another cloud? Well, the short answer is that it's pretty straightforward. We have to enable IPv6 on the cloud resources like subnets and VMs, but then most of it carries across to GCP and presumably to other clouds also. There are some minor differences like on GCE, VMs automatically get a slash 96 IPv6 range, and so we don't need to write code to request it for each VM. But in general, the sequence is pretty cloud agnostic. The VM is assigned an IPv6 range, our IPAM controller writes that into the nodes pod sider, the CNI provider then assigns pods IPs from that pod sider. IPv6 siders are fully routable, and so we don't need to configure anything. If anything, we now have the inverse problem. We need to be very sure that we have firewalled off any access that we don't want. And generally, because this sequence is cloud agnostic, the good news is that by building on the AWS work, it almost just works on GCE. Here's a quick screenshot, showing the classic guestbook example running with IPv6 pod IPs across a few different nodes. These are in the 2600 range, so these are fully routable IPv6 IP addresses. The gotcha, though, is that not everything quite works when it comes to networking. The IPv4 Kubernetes networking stack is pretty complicated, but for IPv6, we need much less. We don't need an overlay. We get a sider with enough IPs. We don't need routing logic. The siders we get are fully routable. IPAM is pretty simple now. There are plenty of IP addresses, we don't have IP reuse problems, and we generally don't need to worry about running out of address space. But as we've seen with AWS, some of the assumptions made by the stack simply don't apply anymore. Right now, we have a few snafus. As with AWS, the classic way of exposing services with type load balancer doesn't really work. The load balancer is exposed on an IPv4 address, and cube proxy and IP tables can't nat that to our pods. Because we're turning off a lot of layers, like setting up cloud routing, sometimes we now miss steps. For example, the network unavailable taint sticks around, and we now need new code to remove it. All of these are surmountable problems, but they are new problems. Maybe, hopefully, by the time you're watching this at KubeCon, we'll affix all of these. But I think what's most interesting for the future direction of CNI in IPv6 is that these aren't the problems that CNI providers addressed in IPv4. CNI providers in IPv6 are going to be primarily about a small bit of configuration, and generally getting out of the way. What's far more important in IPv6 is firewalling and generally preventing access. And those are pretty different requirements to IPv4.

What's happening guys, it's Shane again and welcome back to the channel. In today's video, I'm gonna be interviewing somebody who has a really interesting digital marketing story, the way that they discovered it and the way they got into the career is really interesting. So I think you're really gonna enjoy this one. Go ahead, gently tap that like button if you appreciate these types of videos and let's jump into it. All right, so welcome to the channel, Roberto. Thanks so much for coming on, I appreciate it. Yeah, excited to be here, Shane. Thank you for having me. All right, so let's go ahead and just get started kind of at the beginning of your digital marketing story. If you want to, you can kind of introduce yourself a little bit and just kind of talk about how you discovered digital marketing in general. Yeah, definitely. So I'm Roberto, nice to meet you guys. I am located in California and my story started back in 2018 and it's a very interesting one because I used to be subscribed to this YouTube channel called Engineer True because I wanted to be an engineering, mechanical engineer, and that was kind of like my route in college and it kind of like was going for it for the money, right? It wasn't really interested in it. Didn't really have anything else to do. So that's the route I went but then he promoted a course, which surprisingly, you know, it's Seth's course. And he introduced me to digital marketing. He, I saw the YouTube video, I was intrigued. I was like, what is digital marketing? I've never heard of this before. It sounds very interesting. I went to Seth's course, checked it out. I was a little hesitant, right? Because, you know, he was making all these claims that, you know, zero to 60K in one year. I was like, okay, that sounds very interesting but, you know, I took a leap of faith. I trusted Seth. He seems like a really great guy. So I went for it, man.  I purchased the course and honestly, it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. Life changer to this day. It literally changed my course of my life in a positive direction. When I was in college and also taking this course, I was working in the warehouse and it was very toxic and I was very confused on like what I wanted to do with life. Like I said, engineering was just something that I just chose just because of the money. I wasn't very passionate about it. So I was in a very weird time in my life until I discovered digital marketing and it gave me a sense of direction. And I'm glad I took the leap of faith and, you know, purchased the course and followed through. Wow. I just wanted to say first of all, it's amazing you were taking like engineering classes and working at the same time and studying the course. That is, that's incredible right off the bat. Like engineering is super hard, super, super hard. Which engineering major were you? You don't mind me asking? Mechanical. So actually I wanted to do civil and then I switched over to mechanical then I wanted to do electrical. I couldn't make up my mind, honestly. I was just all over the place. I was like I said, I was just so confused on like what I wanted to do with my life until I discovered digital marketing and it gave me a sense of direction. I just knew that this was it, right? I found my purpose and I know this was going to propel me to success. So I took the course and an amazing course, right? It teaches you everything how to get a job with digital marketing. But once you get a job in this industry, I feel like you're set. Once you get that first job, the foot in the door, the hard work is done. Now you just have to be consistent, keep on learning and keep just having that drive to improve your career and also solidify your skill set. But I got my first job back in 2018. It took me about two months to finish the course because I was so dedicated to it. I would honestly study eight hours every single day because I really wanted this, right? And everybody goes at their own pace, which is fine. Everybody has different lives, right? Some people have kids, some people have other jobs. I was lucky, I was fortunate to be in a position where I was able to dedicate a lot of time to the course and just dedicating all those hours really paid off. So after I finished the course, I solidified my resume, started sending out applications. Literally after, I'll say two to three weeks after I finished the course, I got my first job. It was a pretty mediocre digital marketing gig, not a lot of learning, but it built a very solid foundation for me, which I was extremely grateful because I've never had an office job before in my life. It was all physical work, warehouse, things like that, working in restaurants, working at grocery stores, physical stuff, right? I wasn't really good with computers other than typing up an essay for school, right? So it was kind of a learning curve for me, but I was so motivated to excel that I'm a very tenacious individual. Any challenge that's presented to me, I wanna overcome it. So I really think that really helped me advancing my career. And I was at my first job, making about $16.50, not the greatest, but I was very fortunate for the experience and the foundation that it built for me. And then after that, I was there for about a year. And then at the beginning of 2019, that's when I got like my first technical paid search position, where I learned a lot of technical skills and strategy, making 55K a year. So this was 2019. I was there for about, I'll say, eight months. And then an unfortunate event happened to me and my family. So my fiance, she had a brain surgery and she had a stroke during surgery. So what- Oh my gosh, sorry to hear that, wow. Thank you. It was very tough and it was a very eye-opening experience because after that event, I never took anything else for granted because life can change in a split second, right? So she had a stroke and I had to put everything in pause. I had to take care of her. I had to quit my job and nurture her back to health because her family, they live in Texas. So I was like, I guess her only support, like her support system here in California, but eventually her family moved to California to help me out with therapy and stuff. But after that event, it took the whole year off and then I applied back to, I started applying again in late December. And this is why I love digital marketing because once you have the skills in the experience, your skill set is very sought out for. Like people want your skills, right? Because they're very valuable. And literally within a week or two, I found another job. That's how easy it was for me to find another gig because I had the experience, right? And then, so this is 2020, right? So we all know what happened in 2020. So I was a new guy and a lot of companies laid off a lot of people, right? Because of budgetary reasons. It was a very unfortunate time for everybody. So because I was a new guy, they had layoffs. And unfortunately, I was part of those people that got laid off. So three months in, I was jobless and the pandemic happened. And I was very apprehensive. I was like, I don't know what's gonna go on. What's gonna happen in the future? So I decided to take the whole year off and also dedicate more time to my fiancee and nurture her back to health even more, which I was very grateful that I did. December that year of 2020, that's when I started applying again back into the workforce. And then again, I applied within a week. I got interviews and I got hired right away. I was still making about 55K in 2020, 2021. I wasn't really advancing in my career. I was kind of stuck.  I gotta take this more seriously. I have to expand my skillset and work for a company that I know that's gonna give me more valuable skills. So I started applying to big companies such as like mute six where I'm at right now. And when I got hired, I was getting paid a salary of 70K and then also getting paid commissions. So this is when my salary started to skyrocket. I recently got promoted this year. So the promotion with the promotion, now I'm getting paid 80K year plus commissions. So you can round it up to like 95K a year. And then also I have my own cyclones, right? So mute six really helped me solidify my skills even further than what they were previously. I thought I knew PPC, but once I joined mute six, man, I learned a lot more. It's crazy how much I've grown the past year in terms of like client communication, technical skills strategy, holistic strategy, everything. And that really made me super confident to like go out there and get my own clients, right? I currently have three clients that collectively, I make around $5,000 just from those three clients. So now I'm like, there's a lot of potential in this space, right? I mean, you have potential to make a lot of money working for a company, but once you get really good at this, you can start generating your own clients, right? Start making more, which is crazy. I didn't know how much potential there was in these skills. So in terms of like salary, right? Just to give you like a ballpark of how much I'm making, or just like a projection of how much I'm gonna make if everything goes right in terms of like client retention and stuff, I'll say I'll be making about 140 to 150K a year. And I know there's potential to make more. So I'm starting like my own, I'm building my own website. I want this, I wanna take this very seriously because I know the potential is there and I know I can do it. If you asked me like two years, a year ago even, like two years ago, if I would have like my own side clients, I would say I just don't feel comfortable doing that just yet. But like I said, this past year I've grown so much with Mute 6, they've given me a lot of, taught me a lot of valuable stuff that I can apply elsewhere in terms of like just generating my own clients, which I'm so fortunate for. But yeah, man, that's like pretty much my story. And like very briefly, that's what's been going on with me these past few years. So in terms of like work-life balance, how is digital marketing, especially your current job, versus say like the warehouse job you were working before? Yeah, it's like night and day, right? So luckily I work remotely. So I say a lot of, like I don't have to do traffic. I don't have to get up early in the morning, take a shower, get ready. So in terms of like that, I have a lot of time, a lot of extra time for me to put into like my side business. And then also digital marketing is really big on, or a lot of companies or digital marketing companies, they're really big on like just work-life balance, right? They care a lot about your mental health and there's a lot of studies on this, right? When work-life balance is a priority, productivity tends to be a lot higher and in result, people are a lot happier. In U6, right? They're a huge believer in work-life balance. But in like generally just digital marketing in itself, in terms of like work-life balance, it's amazing. Warehouse, I mean, I have to be there nine to five, maybe work overtime. I mean, it wasn't ideal to be completely honest with you. And I understand like I was that person who would go home and just be exhausted. I don't wanna do anything else. But digital marketing, it just motivates me to do more. And then despite like me having like a side business and then having a full-time job, I could still put time to myself and do things that I love doing. For example, like going out on a hike if I wanted to at 11 in the morning because of like my work flexibility. You just have to have good time management skills and be very organized. For example, like if I have a client meeting at 2 p.m.  You know, it's just work-life balance when it comes to digital marketing is amazing. From my personal experience, of course, not every single company is like that, but the majority of them do promote work-life balance. That's like a priority for their employees. I did wanna ask you one more question. So somebody who's kind of on the fence about taking the course, they're like, they've seen it. They've seen all the interviews. They've seen like overwhelming evidence that it works. You know, like so many people have gotten results from it, but they're kind of just on the fence. What would you say to that person? Yeah, just do it. I was in the same position. Just take a leap of faith. If you're in a position where you see no future in your current job, you're confused about what you wanna do, this is it. This is your sign to do it. You've found the course and what's amazing about Seth's course, you have so much support. There's a lot of people out there taking the course and they also support each other. We all come from different walks of life, right? But the support is if that's something that's missing, that's something that Seth's course is gonna provide. But just take a leap of faith, trust me, work hard on it, be consistent. And don't give up. Eventually you are gonna find your first position, like your first job in digital marketing.  You can come to me for advice as well, alumni are so helpful. There's a lot of alumni out there that are willing to help. And because we're so passionate about helping others because Seth is the one that helped us find ourselves in terms of like careers, we'll be there for you too. What would you say, I guess too, because I do have a lot of engineering students that follow my channel. So like an engineering student who's kinda doing it for the same reason, like they basically, they looked at college degrees and they were like, most of the college degrees are not worth it. So I'm gonna do engineering because I know that engineering is worth it, which I would agree, engineering is worth it. But they're doing it for the wrong reasons. Like they're in engineering just for the money, they're doing it for purely just like a logical reason and they're just not enjoying themselves. What would you say to that person? Yeah, if you're not passionate, I wouldn't go for it to be really honest with you. I wasn't the same boat, right? I wanted to become an engineer, but for the wrong reasons for the money because they have potential to make good money. And I feel like also for like digital marketing, like in terms of like progression in your career, like your title, it goes by so fast. Like for example, I know a couple of people, like in a few years, they became directors, right? And it's crazy. Yeah, the progression is super fast. I've never seen it before. And like, this is the only industry I've seen this. There's people working their whole lives at McDonald's and they're not even like regional managers. It's crazy. So if you're not passionate about engineering and you're just there just because just to make money or just, I wouldn't say don't do it. Digital marketing, I can promise you. It's a lot funner. It's not as math intensive. Unless you're passionate, right? If unless you're passionate in engineering, I say go for it. Like I love math, I love structures, I love mechanical stuff, how things work. Go for it, right? It makes you happy, but if you're on the fence, you're just not sure, like, I don't know if I'm gonna like this. I don't know if I'm gonna succeed in this or I just, I'm just doing this just for whatever reason. I personally, I wouldn't do it. Save your money and best it on the course and trust me, you're gonna kick start your career a lot quicker and you're gonna progress so much faster than you would going into engineering, right? That would be my advice. And I don't know what it is, it is about digital marketing. They always attract really good people. And I've made lifelong friends working in this industry. And it's just like, wow, this is great. And working in like the warehouse and the restaurant business, you always find very toxic people. But I've not had a bad experience in this industry, in digital marketing ever. All right, well, hey, this was actually seriously one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. So thank you so much for sharing your story. Yeah, you seriously are like, just this is really motivational to hear this interview.  So it's kind of like a silver lining to look at things that way. I always try to like look at the positive with things. And like, I seriously think this is gonna motivate a lot of people. So thanks for coming on the channel, really appreciate it. Appreciate you, Shane, thank you for having me on. This was very fun.


If the church is going to survive this hour, not just survive, but thrive in this hour, we need the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. It's the only chance that we have of really coming against the strategies of the enemy that are for today, and there are many wicked agendas playing out before us in this day and age. This is why God has raised you, friends of the Holy Spirit, because that's what this room is filled with. That's who's watching us online. We are friends of the Holy Spirit. People who walk with Him.  You are God's answer to the wickedness in this generation.  You are called for such a time as this. Don't worry about what's going on in the world. Whenever I see society and political parties and economic structures tending toward disorder, if I compare it with the rest of human history, I become excited, because I know that God always seems to show up right when you think it's over. Right when you think it's done and there's no way out, the Holy Spirit comes in and surprises everyone. It's like the prophet Elijah when he called down fire from heaven. Elijah called down fire from heaven because he wet the altar. Why did he wet the altar before calling down fire? Elijah wet the altar before calling down fire because he wanted to prove that it wasn't a work of man. He wanted to prove that this fire can burn through anything. When I look around at the way the world is now, I don't see demise. I don't see the end of the church. I don't see things tending toward the end as far as the world believes the end will go.  I saw that America is not in the Book of Revelation. Yet, so are hundreds of other nations not in the Book of Revelation, but that's because the focus is on Israel. But that doesn't mean that America doesn't have a part to play. In fact, in the Scripture you'll see in the Book of Jeremiah that there's a prophetic clause where God will relent of punishment or from punishing a nation if that nation will turn to him. If a nation turns to him, he blesses that nation. If it turns from him, he brings down judgment. But here's the great thing about it is that what God needs in any nation is a righteous remnant who are not willing to let go. So stop throwing up your hands in defeat and saying, okay, Lord, get me out of here. He put you here. That revival might come. Stop listening to conspiracy theory prophets. That's really what's happened in this day and age. The conspiracy movement in America has blended with the prophetic ministry, and we have pollution. I'm just being real with you guys. There's pollution. Whereas the prophetic ministry was supposed to bring godly warning that led to repentance, some of the prophetic movement is now bringing this sense of doom and gloom from which there is no turning back. But every time God sent a prophet, it was always to turn the hearts of the people. It's when God stops sending prophets that you're in trouble. So stop listening to the mixture of the flesh and put your ear to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Lift your eyes and see the harvest is ready. The harvest is ripe. Laborers are few. The issue is not the harvest. The issue is the laborers, that God is looking for people who will surrender themselves and say, here I am, send me. He's just looking for a select few. And you are that remnant. You are that spirit-enpowered group of people who isn't going to back down from the lies of the enemy. You're not going to back down from the darkness if you only knew the power that God put in you. If you only knew, you're not a beggar. You're royalty in the spirit. If you only knew the places of authority you're seated in, I'm not coming at this going, oh my goodness, I'm just going to do what little I can to see what little can be accomplished. And hopefully God blesses my meager efforts. And Lord, please just a little drop of your spirit here and a little drop of your spirit there. No, God has given you the authority of heaven to call down the rain of the Spirit and turn things around. We're the head, not the tail. We're the authority, not the servants. We are God's authority in the earth. Every believer is the Holy Spirit. This is one of the questions that is put to me most often. Brother David, how do I receive? How do I receive? How do I get him? What you need to understand is that the moment that you were born again, the Holy Spirit of God came to live within you, not a portion of the Holy Spirit, not a new convert version of the Holy Spirit, not a junior Holy Spirit, not a baby Holy Spirit, not a less potent Holy Spirit, but the same Holy Spirit who was in Christ, Jesus Himself, came to dwell in you the moment you gave your heart to the Lord. What does the Bible say? In Ephesians 1.13, the Scripture says, And when you believed in Christ, when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own. How? By giving you the Holy Spirit whom he promised long ago. When did I receive the Holy Spirit when I believed in Christ? The moment you repented of your sins, the moment you turned to Jesus, the Holy Spirit of God came to dwell in you. This is why you're so frustrated. This is why you're seeking and not finding, because you're looking for something as if you don't have it. You're looking outwardly instead of inwardly. You're looking at experience to validate a truth that you should already know by faith. I never had that shaking of the electricity on my body. I never felt the heat. I never broke down and cried. I never fell over. I haven't spoken in tongues yet. What does the Bible say? When you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit. So, we have backwards thinking when it comes to receiving the Holy Spirit. We think that we get saved and then receive him, when in reality you couldn't have been saved in the first place without him. The Holy Spirit comes to dwell in me in fullness the moment I give my heart to Jesus. Once we become convinced of this truth that every believer has the Holy Spirit, the natural question then becomes what is this other experience described in the Scripture? What is this something more that believers talk about? What is this extra touch of power that I've heard so much about? Here's a question for you. You have the Holy Spirit, but does the Holy Spirit have you? Acts chapter 4 verses 29 through 31 say this, And now, O Lord, hear their threats and give us your servants great boldness in preaching your Word. Stretch out your hand with healing power. May miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your Holy Servant Jesus. Acts 4 verse 31, After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the Word of God with boldness. This event that occurred was after the day of Pentecost where the church had already received the power of the Holy Spirit. Wait a minute. Did not they already have boldness? Were not they already witnessing miracles? Hadn't they already received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost? Yes, yes, and yes. In fact, Peter and John were among that group. In Acts 4 go up a few verses to verse 23. The Bible says, As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. Now, wait a minute. Peter preached with boldness in Acts chapter 2 on the day of Pentecost, yet here in Acts 4 the Scripture says that after the Holy Spirit comes upon them, Peter and John present in that room, that then they began preaching with boldness, then they began seeing miracles. Church, what this shows us is that the move of the Holy Spirit, the baptism with the Holy Spirit, isn't a one-time experience. It's a continual state of being. It's not like water in a cup. It's like wind in a sail that continually moves that ship forward. It wasn't that they received more from the Holy Spirit. It was that they surrendered more to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is all in. Are you? He's fully committed. He dwells inside of you. You have the Holy Spirit, but it's in the surrendering to the Holy Spirit that what we have in us manifests around us. You already have your spiritual gift. You already have an anointing from on high. That's the first on 227 says, You already have the ability to understand the word. You already have your preaching gift. You already have boldness for evangelism. You already know how to pray, but it's untapped power that rests within you. And the only way you tap into that power is by surrendering to the Holy Spirit in greater depths. For every level of surrender, there is a level of power that comes.
