Empowered to Live (Love Egham)
Respira. She's chosen to the children, the children we have low B online and vice device. So father, would you bless that time together with you in Jesus name sandwiches Prime?
Ichiban. What type of Fresh Fire for Dave? Now this morning Rush anointing,
they lost his word will go far and power this be today, I will not return to him void and I'll be like a ripple, bouncing bouncing bouncing syrup going to keep coming back and coming back and he coming back. Hey man. Hey man. Thanks hun.
Technology.
So I'm assuming upside down, you don't want my seven upside down. What is months? We've been looking at loving again. Anybody love again?
I mean, if you don't like living here, How is it? Sometimes you end up in the place that you don't particularly, like, just because of the job that you have, or maybe something happens. That means you in the house in your that, you know, that you're that for a season. But you know, once you know that you know that you know you're here for a while. You've got to reconcile in your spirit about loving to be here. Yeah, that might be things. We don't like, like waiting at level Crossings.
Do you know what? One of the things that have the love, I can mess, we gave away pastries. Was every time the berries, came down off of Chris change from the people are getting onto the train to the people who were waiting at the level crossing. And that was a wonderful moment when Lydia who was part of them. So Jones, she had a tray full of pastries and the bus pulled up in the queue too white for the level crossing and that she and I talked to the calls with Pisces as it, would you like a pastry and then people would say, why you giving away free pastries? And she went to the bus. I think expecting the bus driver, start open the door. So she walked all the way up and down the bus inside. Pastries to complete strangers. SO waiting at the level crossing can be a blessing. Recite that. So we need to learn to love again. We need to learn to love our places where we work. If you sent still displaced you where you work and learn to love it, cuz go for, she's at for a reason and if you don't know why you're there cuz sometimes we end up somewhere.
What am I doing? I don't see the fruit about. You might have heard of a guy called Steve juhl. Steve choked on 170. Just taking a job. And his job was to work in the warehouse. And he said, many dice, he would just end up sweeping or cleaning the floor of the warehouse. But one of the things he learned to do with every time he walked into the TV room, when he was into the office, when he saw, people eat, always look them in the face and say Hi. How are you today? And by the time he left, he knew everyone in the company. Everyone in the company and the CEO has a way of connecting with people. It's true. He's going to wire connecting with people and I just want to say to you find out why you're there. Cuz then you can choose to love it or no. Choose to enjoy it anyway.
And sometimes we find ourselves sitting in on the train or sitting somewhere where we think I am. I here, what am I here for? What am I meant to be doing? Honda. Sometimes we just need to close our eyes. Play sunrise and just see. what couple say,
I am a technology hanging a sec.
Okay, let me get to what I want to share about to die. I want to talk about being empowered by the spirit building upon something that Lefty said the week before last, I see being filled with the spirit
We need to be in line. We need to leave a life that's full. If we pull up something, we're a bit like a sponge with if we dry and crusty and some of us are dry and crusty from time to time and we not very good at absorbing stuff. Do you know if you go to dry and crusty sponge, the one is already being out in the sun and you put it on top of the water plugs. Until something stops to see Peyton then. So if you want to get to eat to soak watering quick quickly, you squeeze it and it sucks the water in and then what happens when you squeeze it again, the water comes out. What are we full of when we get squeezed? What comes at 1 but under pressure. What happens? I want to speak about living a life. Let and feel by the spirit Acts 1:8 says this but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the Earth.
Presley. It's Time to use that on. This is 3 using this one single sentence 3 you. So he's talking about another would soak into the early church and took it the disciples, but you will. It's a very caught. You will receive the Holy Spirit. When it comes upon, you will see Power. Why? So that you will be witnesses to. You will live to class. Something of what you are, seeing the Holy Spirit. Doing his, the thing you might read. This has to the disciples to the edge attached to Jerusalem, to Judea to Samaria and to the ends of the Earth, or you could take it unless there's expanders for wherever you live, wherever the Ace of Spades Runnymede. Oh, sorry, and to the ends of the Earth, if you find yourself somewhere else, turkey, Egypt, Uganda Ghana. When you find yourself in one of these other places, I'm still in touch with the Holy Spirit, left him behind.
I believe that we see how unless lives, if you've ever had a torch that the batteries are dying. When you come to switch on and you can see the bulbs. So flicker if you if you got a batteries you need to take the batteries out and you need to recharge.
Jesus loves the church, he loves this church, he loves the church and he wants us to act in boldness with Direction and having impact. Why? Because he wants us to be full of Supernatural. Strength, Jesus did not leave. As he did not leave the disciples alone, he promised the Holy Spirit to empower us
There is a promise in power. If you get a battery and you read on the side of the battery, or promised, the kind of level of power that you will get that. If you put the wrong battery in the wrong place, because it's not got the right power levels, there is a promise of power, Luke 24:49 and behold, I am sending the promise of my father upon you but stay in the city and City Walk closed with power from on high. Sometimes we need to wait for the power to come. If you ever lived in the world where the power is uncertain. Places in India, places in Africa, places around the world where the electric goes off. If you live in the tower block, while you water is powered by electricity, don't, you know, what happens when the electricity goes off, you filled your boss.
Sounds like a crazy thing, but you filled your boss of the wind of water electricity goes off, you still got water to boil the cattle and wash your face. Sometimes there's a time when we need to top off and fill out and be ready for when we need to work in. Disconnect the power that mean we left guards, but we, we are carrying his power because he probably sees power from on high.
Being a Christian is not just a theology. It's how you power filled life. Because of Jesus but also, because of the holy spirit is not an optional. Extra part of our Lives is the essential presence of God in our lives. Play b. I
Jesus, God father, God, empowers Us by his holy spirit to live a life differently. Romans 8, verse 11, says this. And if the spirit of him who raised Jesus, from the dead is living in you, who raised Christ from the dead, will also give life to our mortal bodies.
Does that mean the spirit empowers us to live victoriously over sin? The price has been paid for our sins.
Discouragement. Are people love to discourage people? You might not think it but I'm pretty season me. Something that only comes out of mouth Price Less are coming. He renews aha. She gives us strength when we are weak and he enables us to live a holy life.
Never felt weak ever felt not able to do something. Do you know what those are the times when we can lean into God, we can lean on God's side. What I got through this help me, and I've told this story before, but I'm going to tell her again, as a church in Bonners Ferry, which is in Montana, Western USA. And I was in the service started speaking. And the lady came forward to give a testimony. So I was in the previous he was working on his car, I knew about mechanic. So he drove his car up. I need some of those Jacks, and then he was underneath the car working on his drive, and one of the boats was really stuck. So you was going to leave a ring on the on the, the wrench to try and get the bolt on done. The car started to wobble and the car fell off the side of the stands on to his chest. He was underneath I need was screaming out, help me, help me, help me American houses have big goblins and that everybody goes everywhere. So you ready? I people walking down the street. Anyway, these wife heard him, screaming came rushing out and she tried to lift the car.
Just she felt the car move a little bit but not enough to get out and she's Cried Out. Lord, help me. She said to this day, I don't know whether an angel came and listed the car, or whether God gave me Supernatural, strength, but the car lift it up. Just enough for her husband to go out stressed, but no broken bones.
Not and she said, you know what? In my weakness, God gave me strength. My husband was at Home, Depot at the hospital, and he was told to take bed. Resting in our weakness. He will give us strength.
He will also help us with our speech. The average person has so I'm told a vocabulary of about 20,000 Woods. Someone like Stephen Fry on toad has something like 80,000 woods and he seems to come out cuz I've never even heard of but Bobby spirit. And give you what kind of remind you of scripture. One of the reasons I gave you a memory verse. Every Sunday is cuz I want you to feed yourself with something that may come out again in the future. Terry White known as the to meet Sam and I met you when I was at University Town in Baldwin to buy Judi online, that he was speaking in the mission down there. and I remember him talking about on this particular Mission, heat, he talked about how The scriptures that he'd memorized carried him through his time in prison. You said there was scriptures that you didn't even realize what inside his head. Maybe they went maybe got injected something. Well, I don't know, but he said, I just gave thanks to Sunday school. Sometimes, I remember an old Sunday school song and that Sunday school song, would remind me about a scripture. I had forgotten. But it came to me again and became as an encouragement to speak boldly. That's recitim. We had the privilege of leading the useful for many years and I remember, taking a group of young people to a meeting in on the way to Twickenham I do remember one of our young people who was very scientific sentence at 5, I don't believe what this guy saying Genova was speaking. As she said, I don't believe what he's saying but he says it was sucks confidence in the truth of what you say. It was an enigma to her sometimes. God has to be an enigma to other people because he gets his boldness to share the good news of the Gospel. Angela.
And many people of Silence, not because of that lack of faith. But because of the lack of the feeling of the Holy Spirit, we need to speak with boldness and confidence. How do you spell ulcer and Empower us to serve and to minister to others in 1 Corinthians 12 Verses 4 to 7. It says that they're all different kinds of gifts but the Same Spirit, distributes them.
They're all different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone, it is the same God at work. Now, to each one, the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good.
Different kinds of spirits distribution differently and the manifestations of different, the god of God and Powers us with spiritual gifts by for his purpose. Go get you a word of wisdom of God, gives you away to know that she's going to give you a word of Prophecy. It's all about him. And one of the things we can say about prophetic, word will be a prophetic buddies to come for eggs and and support.
The spirit, empowers us not for Jasper. The purpose, but also for teaching, for healing for leading for encouraging. Holy Spirit, equips us to minister others, effectively.
How do you spell siren Powers us to overcome the enemy? There is a battle because you're not. There was a battle going on. We know the at the end of his letter to the Ephesians talks about putting on the full armor of God and to was the end of that in the fission 6, verse 10 to 12. It says this finally. Finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power, put on the full armor of God.
We are in a spiritual battle. We can't deny that. Anybody had a bye this week, and you only had to ask about something. Are we a couple? Okay, I'm saying you're in the Bible is not admitting failure. And some people in the bathroom.
Where will in a box of the enemy? Does not want you to progress. The enemy does not want you to say. The enemy. Does not want the gospel to go out. The enemy does not want to be.
Sorry, many simple things, that will be a baffle. And in that bottle, all strength should not come from other cells. It needs to come from the spirit We need to have to Titanium. Strengthen us spiritual to Titanium. Strengthen the spirit helps us to resist. Temptation resist, temptation, avoid temptation. We are old likely to be tempted to die. At some point, to be angry to be cross at the mall. I could keep on going but I do not want to. I don't do not want to condemn. I want to encourage and convince so the Holy Spirit and I was us to resist temptation. So when Temptation comes Reboot, thank you very much. I choose to do something else. The Holy Spirit and I able to stand for the clothing stand. Finding is a positive thing. Did you know, standing is good for you. For anybody who sits down old desk, let me know what you decide and up from time to time to get out and walk around like a break.
Supposed to be one of the things as being a real challenge is not just being such a relation but the ability to stretch the circulation or however you want to do it, set an alarm set to trigger, get up from your desk away, from your screen, do something different for 5 minutes. It's okay. What are the problem is that we become our own bus and we're in charge of what we do and that for weeks and we haven't moved. It's not good for us. Why am I bringing in those five minutes? When you get up, when you walk away from your desk, you can pray for 2 minutes. You can make a coffee. I'm also making the coffee. You can pry. You can hang your washing out was beautiful things that you can do that. You couldn't do when you were walking away from home. And I was asked to stand firm in Naples, our study spirit and I was asked to pray with authority.
What do I mean by that? Because we're not just praying in our own words in an hour and why we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us to enable us and to speak with Clarity and strength. This is something we should. These are the things that we should do on a daily basis. Let me know if I can just review some of these. Then there was a promise of how we should be filled on the time, we should live differently on a daily basis. We should speak powerfully and both boldly on a daily basis. We should serve and minister to one another call Natalya devices. We should overcome the enemy. We should win the battle. We should raise a flag, we should raise a victory cry on a daily basis. Because being filled with the spirit is not a one-time event.
Scripture talks about continually being filled. Being continually filled needs, we need to put ourselves on the top on the continue of Isis. If you've ever used a watering can that has leaks? now, you have to take you back to the top one for the app again, and then and we're only key people. What role did she play for? Chris Bentley key people. We leave a mess behind us. Will you also leave a blessing?
Suck my challenge. The last two days. Are you filled with the spirit? Today? Are you working in his power or are we walking in our own strength?
Just going to pools and allow you to think for a few moments. I'd like you to think about some different areas of your week at work. Why you like to spend a little time and place your time with family maybe a couple other places you want to think about. So I just think about just go on a guided tour. Just Close Your Eyes for a few minutes and I'm going to love you all week. Where are you going to spend time this week? Who you going to spend your time with? I know you taking the holy spirit with you. Are you going to leave impact in the suitcase back home? We need the holy spirit with us every day.
Sometimes the holy spirit will cause us to see things differently. Sometimes the holy spirit will cause us to respond differently. A spiritual response, rather than a fleshly response.
only this week, I was Hamilton School. And on the cool. Somebody was getting fatty heated, started pointing the finger at me on the screen and you need to do this, you need to do that. I'm like Leslie response was no idea who that is not my job.
I took a deep breath. Said you would help me in. Happy Spray sleep into my mind site. That's an interesting perspective. I've never thought about it from that point of view. And then somebody else. It was bought the team said, no, that wasn't a job. We didn't ask him to do that. I'm suddenly it moved from a finger pointing at me to a finger pointing back to the T-Mobile asking me to do something. thank you, Lord, because I could have so easily stepped off in the flesh and sitting
Where are you going to spend your week? Where are you going to spend your time, are you going to take the holy spirit with you?
So I'll be walking in his power or in our own strength. I'm going to play in the moment. But I want to give you a final scriptures already to hang some of these on these from Zechariah 4:6. Not by power. But by my spirit says, the Lord Almighty. So you just taking yourself on a guided tour. Maybe one of those places or more than one of those places. You need to do it last in your arm strength, amul with God's help. I'm not suggesting a, I'm just suggesting Maybe. I miss talking to you, but you stand where you are by calling would like to listing online. If thank you, if there's a place in your week, I had way if you really need to do it less and less of me, more of God.
Bobby work might be the way you relate to some of your family won't be. So maybe one of your neighbors, you fooling out with might be Something you need to say and you've never got around to saying it. As a time when you need boldness, isn't it?
If something on your to-do list is being on your to-do list, for 10 weeks or more, maybe you need to help the Holy Spirit to make it happen.
Father God, we stand before you right now. Father, we know quite full. We need more of you. We need more of your Holy Spirit at work in our lives. We need more of your Holy Spirit. I working every time I mention of Who We Are, father, I pray for testimonies in stories. Of what you've done this week. When you've enabled us to do something we couldn't do in the rain strength. So father Would you fill us a fresh right now with your Holy Spirit? Would you Empower us to live to speak and to serve in your strength? Help us to recognize when we doing it on our own and help us to look up and ask if the father That's we all screw the father Body Spirit will come and Impala and enable us in Jesus name. So we can say not by might nor by power, but by your spirit Says father. God almighty.
