Rodger your sister would die father, let's play some sister, she's 18 years young and she say, we don't the country, you know, the Country Boy, by the way, he asked for protection over War. Over her Lord, as she's over on that military base. There was a father that is mostly Muslim. Specialty Care for Women in Authority. That father you would use your protection over her Lord and father, let her feel that piece if she's watching this today, Ward know that we are praying for you and that we love you just as much as your mother and brother in Jesus name, amen.

You're welcome, anybody else? Yes.

I agree with you 1000% on that and it's not that we don't like you're you're singing but we want more than just you up there, right? And she wants more than just her up there. So we can have. If we have people that can sing and play instruments. Come see me for an addition audition.

We will consider you. All right, so far away. We are, you heard the request for from Missy? Who leaves us in worship every Sunday. So, Faithfully would bother, but she, she also gets tired being up there every Sunday practicing every day of the week or so that she can perform in excellence for the audience of you void it. So father, we ask for that, you would help you would provide a worship team to commit musician. Singers of piano players, keyboard players guitar players were given breast. By the way, just thank you for that. In your name. We pray. Amen.

Yes.

Sure, we can get you to sign it.

The pacify me first and then run with it. How's that? That was easy.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

Hey, United match. We make Joyful Noise.

Joyfully loud noises. right at Yep, any other friend request? one of the things he just say, Got to discourage but stopped several people.

You know what it's like.

It's for the love of the Lord.

Yeah, come on, Amen. Every the great thing about having any instruments up here is A song, she may be singing to stop it in the middle of the song is difficult. Where is if you had an instrument instrumental team up here, they could play quiet music and just help out something could happen. We could have a prayer time up here with just some background music and then go back at the scene and it's hard to do that if you're playing your recorded messages.

Amen.

And I have a Affinity against paying people to The worship live worship.

Yes, Aaron.

Aaron wants to praise God, thank him. And that they would be more peace and joy in this country. So father we do. We agree with him a salt meme but we know 90% of that. If people come back into the church, boy. That is if they come in and humble themselves before you Lord, Jesus, we will see changes in our country. We need you, Lord, we need the power of your Holy Spirit to the acting us for Jesus. And I thank you for that.

Yep.

if he wants to,

but if you are listening Billy, you have. My number call me if you don't. Dad's got my number. Call me if you want to

God, can heal everything. We're the ones that don't accept that, you lie to you right now. By the way, what's going on, but we pray for them. If the relationship with you, Lord, Jesus, and then the relationship with each other boy, by the way, he asked for restoration, I think back of the day that they didn't father, that you would confuse the Blessed. F. I remember walking Katie down the aisle, and father, we ask for that, you would walk with them right now that they would turn completely to you. In Jesus name, we pray, the Father's Heart. Was that father that you were blessed in Jesus name? Amen.

George with a j.

Okay.

What do you talk about the Euphrates River? Drying up. You think about if anyone's ever been out to Lake Mead Pastor rob, you seen before when I was in his glory, now they're finding boats and your people that have been dumped in there. There was a picture on the news the other day large sailboat and it's sticking up. It had to be at least 20 feet high and

By the way, we ask what that you would help us for that, you would change our country. Our world, our atmosphere would buy the things things that are happening around us. We people need to see this, they need to see it, not there, but they need to see if your word and the only way they're going to see it in the word abhorred by studying the word in Jesus name we pray. Amen. That's a great segue into today's message. Is it more than enough? Why do I need the spirit? If I have Jesus there's some people say I accepted Jesus.

You still need a spirit and is it is it more than enough? Take the Holy Spirit out of the equation. In the DC area? He has a church down there, he wrote this take the Holy Spirit out of the equation of my life and it would spell boring. Add him to the equation of your life and anything can happen. Take the Holy Spirit out of her life when we refuse to accept the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. We're just regular part of the world. Y'all. Are we have that status that we just saw what the world says that. That's what I'm going to do. And say this is what the Bible says. And this is what I'm going to do, as you find out more about the Holy Spirit and his baptism, we will see. It is simply not enough to have Jesus. We need to have the Holy Spirit.

And he was leaving the holy spirit with us, so that we could do, what? We could cry in her Nike.

We could do more. With the Holy Spirit in our life, you know what? Jesus did more. That is that for me, that's that's awesome. Have you ever had in preparing this? I had remembered back time when I I have been reading it again. This is the holy spirit. I turned up the Book of Daniel and I didn't know why, but I just felt God was telling me through it, Mary Beth was at work and I happen to be home, and I was sitting in my living room and I opened up the Bible. I was reading Daniel 10 and all the sudden. Knock at the door, the doorbell rings in like a woman here to well-dressed gentleman. He gets really were. Jehovah Witnesses. Yes.

They really do present a great argument about what they believe. If you ever encounter them, they can have you spinning in circles. Well, like I said, I have been in the book of Daniels and specifically 10:13 came to mine first. 1013 reeds, Then Michael one of the chief princes came to help me. Michael talk about the Archangel, Michael. One of the one of the

Michael. The only prints. What do you think, one person? But if I say Michael 10, Does that mean more than one? It meant more than one? Well, you see most of the

most of us, and them believe

Or what they believe is, sorry there, they're taught that Jesus.

The person of Jesus the same as the person of Michael the Archangel.

One in one in the same, okay? Apple recover Sation happen, and I call. I went to my Bible and I brought it up to the door and I just want to get something I brought my Bible as soon as I seen it it was the Bible. There was a concerned look on their faces. They don't want some of that knows the Bible. They don't want somebody who study the Bible that reads, even if you just read it, you probably know more about the Bible because they're taught But they're not encouraged to read. Programming. Yes. So

After a brief conversation, we should have went like at my Bible and I told him that I believe much more than that. I've asked matter fact, it was offensive to me to have them say that Jesus did Michael. The Archangel are one in the same.

That goes against what I believe. And what if I don't? What I know. and, I told him that he was much more than just one more men than one person. Michael the Archangel. He was one of many and Jesus and him are one. It's kind of like you're not calling it The Trinity. I mean, if you were saying Jesus, father, Son and Holy Spirit but you're saying it. Just doesn't sit right with me. Then I read the script. So, what do you think about? What I just read to you and they said, Jesus, and Michael are one. That's it. How do you justify? I mean, you believe in the Bible, right? Have you read that scripture yet? Will know. Where is it? As I just told you it didn't Daniel. The Book of Daniel But halfway through your Bible, so go home and get your Bible. If you don't have one, I can give you one. I have an extra one.

We will go back to the temple and we will ask our leaders.

Why ask why not go to the leader? Go to the Bible, God's truth. Why would you go to somebody else and have them? Tell you something, that is against this. Now you can read this study it and then go ahead and ask you what they think about this. And if it matches great but if it doesn't match the maybe something is wrong in Denmark?

We'll get back. You never came back. They left. It was less than five minutes, I think. But they laughed and it was like, yeah, it kind of

but then,

Then the Holy Spirit God Jesus, whatever you want to call. He? Let me take Hebrews 4:12. and if we look at Hebrews 4:12,

I have a different Bible with me today so I don't have all my parking sitting here, but I found it at 12 reads, for the word of God is living and active sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates And that would penetrate kind of like jumped off the page for me.

All right. Lord. What are you trying to show me a penetrating? Even to dividing the soul and the spirit joints and Marrow. Spirit joints and Marrow, it judges the thoughts and the attitudes of the high.

All right, so now the holy spirit is working within me. I thought I had a great Victory. I'm cheering myself on Mary Beth was working so I couldn't get her to give me a quick.

All right, so then I that but that word penetrates it stuck with me, so I had to go to Google and search penetrates It means the answer to reach or to pass through something as by piercing. We penetrate to the interior of it, which is a city.

Egypt cities were based on your tribal cities and each tribe had to build their own City, but we can get into that City, when you get into the high, we can get into we can be diffused into something and reading.

Read this and read the explanation of penetration. It really? Start to work on my heart. What had what I had done it. I had penetrated at the doctor's but given the word but I was taking the credit. I was rejoicing and putting them down because I have to do more than them and that I don't think that's what God wants to do it just because we happen to have a little bit more knowledge. We've read more study, more of a lot more doesn't mean that we have to take

I am kind of huge, but I'm trying to get smaller but We need to start looking about things and we penetrate if we're hurting somebody by our knowledge. I put him down and we need to look at what we are really doing. Most of us, believe what we Believe right. You believe you all believe in Jesus, right? You Believe In Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Why do you believe it?

If it's true. How do you know it's true.

I'm sorry. What was that Aaron? It's true. Have you studied his word? Have you taken his word and divided and studied it. I tried to embarrass anybody but didn't know his word. Don't don't rely on me. Pastor Frank Pastor, Rob gold for yourself. Get your Bible, get a dictionary and look up and study. Let God speak to you. Let him speak to you as to what is in here. Let him explain it to you. But yeah, I can tell you something and it may sound very true. You know, you might have a little down. That's how culture started. What we should do from this Pulpit is always straight ahead.

89 1/2 degrees. Because if we started 89 1/2 degrees right here, it's going to look great. By the time we get up to 24th Street, it's going to be off about that much. By the time we get down to the Gordon Trail, it's going to be off that much. We need pass is need to ship and that's why I told you time and time again and I'm sure Pastor Rob and Pastor Frank will tell you the same thing. What week each Check it out. Book in the Bible. If it doesn't match up, if you have some question about it, please come to us. Ask us, we will be happy to explain it if and if I'm wrong I will publicly acknowledge from the pulpit that I was wrong about something. Okay.

I don't want to do that so that's why I study. I want to make sure what I tell you is the truth right now. We don't want to be talking wrong about the Bible. If we look at acts 17:11 verse 11, we see that the bereans Examine scripture everyday. They examined it, they wanted to learn what was right? Not my interpretation of what God was saying to enjoy on 64th and 16th. We're going to get another counselor. In John 16:7, it's to their advantage, it's to your advantage that the Holy Spirit was sent to us. That Jesus went home And he left or he was going to be sending the holy spirit, is to our advantage because if he didn't go home, we want to get the holy spirit in Acts 15. Jesus said, stay, stay in Jerusalem. Don't go until The Holy Spirit comes in x to the power of Holy. Holy Spirit is Unleashed.

Extra on the day of Pentecost, they were all together in one room. Some say there is in this car, right? They were enough in a quart. One quart.

I try to make it sometime. Thank you. I'll give you. I'll give you a kiss later. I'll give you a tip later on. Do you imagine sitting in the ear?

And suddenly, you heard this gush this loud. Tornado. Heartbeat type of wind sound.

Coming to the room. And then all of a sudden with that, you see this Flame come in and it divides up into little Flames over the head of each and everyone of us. That was the day of Pentecost because son of a sound, like a blunt with a violent. We Came From Heaven and fill the whole house where they were sitting, there would seem to be time to fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, you have to speak in other tongues as a spirit. Enable them, they weren't able to speak in tongues. Before this filled with the Holy Spirit dwelling, he's living inside of you. And when you when the gift comes,

You're speaking and you can speak in a language that you've never known before. And we've given examples of that before it passed service.

so, when the Holy Spirit was Unleashed, That's what you get a wild dog. Listens to his master. Only, he's Vicious. He's just can't wait for the holy spirit's. Like that was waiting to get Unleashed into our lives. That owner that. What's that? We should go. That dog runs after its Target, but I was on the police department. I had a dog and I was going after somebody He stayed right by my side but you could feel the anxiety and him wanting to go and taste.

And I'd say. I want to let the dog go.

And it wouldn't stop. Are they going to throw something at you?

It's amazing, is your way when you weren't close to them. They were so brave. But when they, when you let go of that dog and you seen this dog coming, it was like they've dropped to the floor cover.

We don't want to call out the holy spirit in her life. We want to be filled with that. Holy Spirit. We want to see the like Pastor Rob was preaching on last week life. If we read and believe what it says, on these accounts, we should expect a great deal of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, should fill us and we we should desire it. We should seek out, but you have to study and find out what it is, how it can pertain to your life. If you don't read this book everyday, if not just read it, but Penetrate, what does that mean? I know if I shoot a gun in a bullet comes out of the barrel that will actually it's it's not the end of it is so much smaller than the book. but if that travels that it goes into penetrates your skin and it's penetrate inside, but so, often the most of our church, the Holy Spirit Is the Forgotten member of the Trinity. He's never talked about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and not preach, not hot, not encourage. All this person is crazy. That's because it's a lot side of the speaking. The tongue.

What is this? A weird church? Cuz they speak in this language.

It's what God wants.

I wonder why? Most churches are afraid of the Holy Spirit acting in the church if we receive Jesus Is Our Savior. With our new relationship with him. We should expect. A great difference in our life.

But it doesn't happen because wife we are waiting for Jesus to do something. When the holy spirit says I'm here Do you see a little kid? The trying to get attention and a bunch of adults? They pulling out your sure to get Jack out of your purse. They want they make some noise and it's not until they scream this blood-curdling scream that you are What do you want? Tell you the Holy Spirit screaming. I'm here. Come to me, talk with me. Pray with me. I will change who you are.

Somebody who God wants you to be. We look at Romans chapter 8:9, the spirit. Tells us there that the spirit to Wells, What's the Welling? What do you think he is living in, right? So that's Romans 8:9.

I'm so glad I bought this little light. It really helps me up here you, however, I controlled not by the sinful nature, but by the spirit, if the spirit of God Lives you losing you. And if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. So you can't get the spirit of God unless you have Christ, you have to accept acknowledge that Christ as your savior. Acknowledged that he has forgiven you of your sins and he wants to change your life but he's up and he's sitting upstairs. He's at the right hand. Okay. The Holy Spirit dwelling within you and he wants to change you. Yeah, I can't do not try. It's right. You have tried You can't. But the spirit can change you. I want, I've been trying to give up cigarettes for so long, I just can't give it up by I smoked for 25 packs of cigarettes every day to Cigars, every day and gave it a Coulter kiss. God, I pray to God that I felt him. Say it, that's it.

When Mary Beth and I got married, it was just a couple of not because we got married but was just a couple months after we get married. Then I started to have these joint pain. I couldn't watch where watch it was hard to wear my ring because my hands were swell up. I couldn't make a fist, was about that being around that I could make in her hurry. And if I open my hands quickly, it felt like my joints for all this will Katie my back, my neck, my shoulders. I was seeing the doctor every 2 weeks, and they're giving me Shots into my joint, just to ease up the pain. For four and a half years. I was taking prednisone 45 mg a day. A day. Just to get me the ability to function.

It Marybeth kept complaining it, I want too much and you should be getting those shots all the time.

I went to another doctor doctors say okay, what do you want for medical medication? I gave him a list. Used to be. They all right. Went back to see if the following week, he did some blood work. My inflammation rate was through the roof. He says I'm sorry I just got a report from your previous doctor. You were on that medicine for that long and nothing's helping I don't know what to do. We're trying a different bunch of different medications that no one night I was we were at a church and I was doing some cooking. We have about 100 people to church at 4. Teach you on a Friday night. First week, it happened in your by time. I get out of that night. I was watching like this kind of like Frank at the end of the day when he's work. Put it 12 hours at his, at his pizza place. My feet were killing. My knees are killing me. We can go back and I couldn't drive home passenger going to drive home. It took me forever to go for my first floor to the second floor cuz trying to get up each step. This excruciating pain, Johnny knows what I'm talking about. but,

As I fell into the bed, cuz the only way I can get in, I couldn't sit down and change early. I had to just fall in and pull the sheets over, and I pray, God, help me, because I can't take this pain anymore. I can't do any more medication. I need you to heal me. I know you called me to do this but I can't do it. That morning, I get up and I felt like I needed to go. Pray for the Lord. It is the way you see the Holy Spirit come in anywhere. Now, what I'm telling you was for me, not for you. God needs to speak to you directly, but if anybody knows anything about steroids you you cannot come off them quick especially for a long duration like that. I went downstairs pulled an ottoman over. In the middle of floor, turn the music on soft. Open up my Bible when I'm kneeling down praying. It all the sudden I realized. I have no more pain. And first, my first sign was trying to make a fist and it's usually it was like

No pain. I get up twisting squatting, no pain as you ask and you shall receive. now, if you trust Don't go back on the medicine. I went I told all the way. Now, that was a Saturday morning that Monday morning went to see the doctor again. And okay, how you doing the mezzanine? Not doing anything. I'm not on anything. He went through the list of medicine, I was on

I guess that's not happening right now because this happened Saturday morning and his wee wee on Monday and no side effects. So he examined me. Did more blood work all week? I want to see you every week.

Go back in every week for a month at the end of the month uses. I don't know what happened. I can't explain it. All I can say is that your God healed you, and I've had, I've had arthritis trying to creep back to my body. I keep praying.

Let Your Spirit dwelling in here. You don't want me to have this pain.

What, what are you trying to get rid of? Trust in the Holy Spirit In First 1st Corinthians 6, 19 and 20. It says that your body is a temple of the holy spirit. It's a temple temple. What are you doing? The kind of your kind of Reverend for that simple. When you come into a church, most people are reverent when they come into the church, right?

They did not scream me that most people shut off their cell phone so they come in extra Minds off. But you respect the temple, the church right? What is the holy spirit is dwelling in you. And if he's made a temple within your body, do you think that you should take care of your body?

So let's do it. Taking care of ourselves. Let's get out of here. Who wants to die today.

Who wants to die next year? We want to live as long as we can, right?

So, how do you live as long as you can? You start taking care of your body. Cuz it's the temple. He wants to utilize your body to do greater things. We claim that our sin has been put to death. By being born again. And that we are now alive and forgiving, right? We claim this. But people on the outside. Yeah, you're so cray to the church. You have this little smile on your face, right? Debbie

is she's always smiling. That's why they picked out her. But then we go outside. What are we acting like

Oh, I know that all.

Your people will get you, I got the stuff on the back and you know, Jesus my Savior and I wear the cross and I let everybody know how how religious I am until somebody.

Or maybe they don't even have to cross me, but you do with the language that we use. I asked you. Do they profess that? You are a child of Crisis. I mean, if you've accepted Christ, as his spirit is dwelling you. What are you doing to honor that? Or what are you doing to dishonor?

James chapter 3 verse 7 through 12.

These things should not be. So listen to my brother, sister, love, joy, and peace. Kindness and on and on even well. Many of our unbelieving friends. Exhibit, these gifts unbelievers. That exhibit

Joy love. Peace, patience. Kindness. Send me the VIN. I know that I see people out there all the time.

But you know darn well that they don't believe in it. But I use that word.

We should be filled with the love, the joy. The piece of patients going on. But are we?

Listen, when Jesus Was preparing to leave the Earth, he comforted his disciples by telling them, not to worry. But instead to trust in him in John 14, one he has proved himself to be faithful in the past and that for the past use that they were together. first, he comforted them by telling them that the separation would only be temporary when Jesus went back to Heaven he said

Jesus butt. In Acts Chapter 14, verse 2 and 3.

He told them that he was going to be with the father and that even from there, he could hear their prayers.

Even with a shoe, even with a father, he could hear their prayers. John 14, 12 to 14. Jesus gave his disciples. The ultimate reassurance that he was going to send another comforter that would come to be with him forever. John 14. The Greek word. Another means. Another. What it means. Another just like The Greek word. Another means another just like. So it down another, that is different than It's just like Jesus another, he's spending this down.

John 16:7, Jesus said to the disciples. It is good for you. That I am going away unless I go away, the counselor will not come to you. But if I go I will send him to you. Please send me the couch with somebody. That's better than him. Somebody that's going to do more work in and through you because Jesus is going back. If he didn't go back, she could have said the counselor he couldn't send the Holy Spirit. Just happened. Nearly 2,000, 2,000 years ago. And I personally think that most of us would rather choose the physical Jesus here in our prisons today, so that we could see him act acting in her life and I make a mistake.

I thought maybe God was calling itself.

It gives me a chance to take.

Don't worry, it happens. It happens all the time.

So we would rather have a physical Jesus over an invisible Spirit. But what do we do with the with the fact that she just says that it is better better for his followers to have to say it. It's better that you have the Holy Spirit that have me with you. What do we do with that?

Again, the holy spirit is the most ignored. Part of the Trinity that we have. People always go after. They don't threaten always. He's the one that gives you the power several years ago.

That's a bit about the light that she did know that I was putting this in there today and it's not about her. so that's why she's going to like it, this example, but it was from I own pastor Pastor, Michael Bryan. He's out in California. Chino Hills, California. He's safe from the floods of the are the fires but Pastor Michael Bryan, ask you this question. Have you ever wondered? I'll ask you have you ever wondered what caterpillars think about?

Have you ever want to have you? Ever wonder what caterpillar was thinking about? I said, no. Is it good? Let me tell you what I think.

This going to be some confusion. In the caterpillars, mine. A caterpillar must experience. First of all.

All of its life. Crawling around your body. Go straight. It's The Wiggles back and forth. As many legs. Are there any off the trees after eating the leaves have this grand time? Pick up when the birds come down and grab them. but then, all of a sudden, this caterpillar

Now, I wrote this down because I want to remember it as he had told me.

All the sudden has Caterpillar stock. Making this kind of a nest to cool and they call it and it gets inside and he's in for his long with her nap. So, he's in this cocoon but I can't. I wonder what they can caterpillars thinking.

now, after the long nap and he when he wakes up,

You imagine you're crawling your this long War. Me type of thing. You crawling on the ground and you wake up.

I want to stretch all 12 of them but I don't have 12 arms anymore.

Finally, got my back.

What are the most wanted? Triceps.

But maybe there's a mirror around, and some watering. Can I look different? I've changed. No, I don't have this long body anymore than a short body. I've got these beautiful Wings, if it's a monarch butterfly.

The Wiz believers. If God does this to a caterpillar changes that happens and metamorphose can happen within you.

You can change. Who you are to. Who would God want you to be? No, we have believed. We should experience the same kind of astonishment when

We should be looking for that change. If we don't see that change, maybe, maybe we haven't come to the Lord. Maybe we said that safety prayer.

If I die tomorrow, in case what I'm doing right now is is not good. Lord. Help me if you're okay.

But there's no change in the high. I want to see a change in our heart, that's when we start to change. I've told this story before, so please, sorry, if it's boring as a police officer when I was pastor friend of mine. J. O'Brien. He was working as a personal trainer in a gym in Massachusetts and he's working with these guys at what is he doing now?

Why?

No, that's not the same day that we worked with describe me with describe where I live. That I was off at job because I get hurt. I had back surgery because I got injured and yeah that sounds like you.

Hell, yeah, he's going to the prisons. He's working with juveniles.

I really can't be the same guy if you knew him. When he was on the job, Pastor Mary Beth asked me a while back. Were you a mean guy?

Not me. I was an angel.

Yeah. Okay. It all looks like I try to be fair but ye'll. Sometimes you have to be what you have to be, but

We when God comes in changes our life. We should the people around us should see something different. That Holy Spirit is working with you. They Spirit over power, the ability to live different and Faithfully.

So I asked you, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of letting the Holy Spirit, take over your life, wrote The Lord challenges us to suffer persecution and to confess him. He wants those who belong to him, to be brave and fearless to hear that you've been wanting to change, who he belongs to Jesus. Okay, he wants you to be Fearless. He wants you to be brave. He himself shows. A weakness of the flesh is overcome for the courage of the Holy Spirit. This is the testimony of the Apostles. Any particular, all the representative administering. When the spirit is in you you will have that bravery you will, you will be Fearless, you will be able to do what he has called you to do.

I want to ask you a couple quick questions before we finish this up. I believe that some of our fears,

Because we are afraid that he may not answer us. We can go boldly to him with prayer. And have courage. Fearfully and wonderfully if he will hear us. I think that we fear God not answering our prayers. and we try to cover up, we don't ask

Settle for less, but God wants us to. Open our heart. Paris Hilton make it before you. No, don't do it in church, please.

But are you still naked before you?

Sometimes what people say? Has God answered your prayer yet where we are afraid to say, not yet. Sometimes, we'll make excuses. I haven't done that. I haven't got to him yet cuz we feel that we need to protect God. Luke chapter 11 13.

1113 reeds. If you then listen, these are Jesus's words. If you then Do you are evil? Know how to give good gifts to your children. How many have children here and have and how many of you have given them? Miserable stinky rotten gifts.

Well, that's that's their fault. That's on them. You buy it with your heart. That's on them too bad for them, if they don't want to give salt.

I'm sorry, what?

I have.

I have stopped giving gifts to some of my children.

Because they don't appreciate them. We are not made to be walked on Wheel Of just like God's not made to be walked on. He's made to be loved and he loves back. So finishing up this. So then if you though, you are evil this before coming to God know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your father in heaven? Give the Holy Spirit to those who ask

God's not going to give you stuff that bad better. We need to realize that we need to accept that. We need to believe that.

My God is a good father. Who wants to give good things to his children. We see this in Acts 2:38 Peters addressing the crowd and then he declared repent.

Repent and be baptized everyone of you. In the name of Jesus Christ, is the Forgiveness of your sin and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

We see you next 1:3, it tells us that after suffering, he presented himself to them the disciples and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over. A 40 days to show that he was alive. It's not just some figment of your imagination. Jesus is Alive.

Jesus is Alive. We need to realize that.

It was during this, for today. That Jesus to get the present to his disciples, what he wanted them to do next. The mission for each one of them and for us should be to expect him telling us what to do. And it's a take the message of the Resurrection to the entire world. Are you taking the message of the Resurrection to the entire world to you and what you believe? So, the entire world, are you taking it to your neighbors, your enemies, your friends, your family? Are you sure? Ian, Matthew 28:19 226. Go and make go when I say go, What is is that a command? Go get out of here. You kind of know what I'm saying, right? so if God is said go and make disciples of all Nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you What does that mean? Does that mean? go sit down in your saddle.

And wait for some people to come walking by you. Hey, can I get your attention? Go Make Disciples everywhere you go. Well, I have not had the training like you pastor Pastor Rob is such a f***. What? An orator the word I wish I could explain it and carry it like he does. And I really do have a heat. He's great with it, we all have different gifts.

Isn't that amazing?

so, What do you think the implications of this commandment are? It seems that more like a huge impossibility, that a possibility to do, right, go and make disciples of the world? Do you know that most of the disciples?

Most disciples that followed Jesus. We're not formally educated. Many of them were in their mid-20s or early twenties and some of them even in their late teens, all of them lived in a very poor region. Under the domination of the Roman rule, Did you know that? Most of most of the three years that these disciples had watch with Jesus, the 12 disciples hadn't got along very well.

Hi people. Get mad at me when I say quiet, churches going on worship is starting five.

Eddie quiet. You're making too much noise up there. If I'm not doing it to hurt you, I'm doing it out of respect. For God, we read and respect for other people around here, right?

I love you. I love you all. Not all your bill.

Several of them were Ashley Rivals and they were battling for position they wanted a top position in the in this group, none of them traveled more than a few hundred miles from their home. Olive and all of this took place at a time of limited technology. Travel was either by foot horse or donkey. There was no tweeting. There was no text messaging. There was no emails. There was no phone calls with no Pony Express. If they needed to get the message out, they walked to the next destination. So how do you think that she's just expected them to take this message all over the world?

We have today, the power of the Holy Spirit and Technology to be able to share. All of the world crisis within us. This morning, I was talking to a pastor.

It was around 4:30 this morning and over in Africa.

and we got together and prayed, actually, he was here a few months ago, he came up, spoke briefly upfront,

so, right now, Is God a holy spirit simply not enough for you. Why why do we still have problems? Cuz we say, God is Not Enough. Holy spirit is not enough in my life. How about those who have a dishes that have tried to tried and failed to overcome, those addictions? Do we know anybody like that? Don't raise your hand. How about the Press of circumstances are IDs? Depressive circumstances, I dragging you down so that you can't function. All you want to do is stay in bed. He pom-poms are Frito-Lay's or gallon of ice cream. You have to get over your depression.

Baby something. None of us have really What about? How about complicated family relationships? Maybe I got them.

Guys who can't handle that. So I'm going to have to handle it for you. How about the habits that we are just can't seem to break? Are there any needs that? We must that. We just can't seem to meet maybe we have a habit of spending spending spending Not saving, saving saving. Could be pretty, even be our attempts to follow Christ Faithfully but often we feel empty and lacking. We feel that we don't measure up to what he wants us to be. We saw what we saw at the life that we live. We want to live. It's a huge impossibilities. I want to do this for Christ. I'm going to go out and I'm going to write this book and I'm going to write this. I want to do this and we put so many so much on her plate. All at once that we didn't even know what we're doing. We can't we just forget about any of that. He's not there yet. I can't work with us anymore. Let me tell you about the power on and I'm going to end up with this. When he let me tell you about the power of the Holy Spirit. And how did Peter's wife change consider for a moment? Simon Peter, one of the disciples he was part of Jesus's Inner Circle. His discipleship group. There were 12 disciples and Jesus spent, most of the time with three of them As a pastor week, we can't spend time with every single person that we want to spend. But we need, we can spend time with certain people, we spent. I spent time I try to spend time with my church Council. I pray that they will go out and spend time with their three and those three will go and spend time with their three. We want to handle everybody at once and we can't
