Move with the Holy Spirit

What is season it is we had a group in Romania. Now, we have another group in Canada. My wife actually went to Poland because she had some health issues with her voice with her at she thought she cannot sing and yesterday she texted me and she she sent me a message that she can she could worship actually in Poland. She could worship in front of people who lost their legs and hands very very poor people. So, you know, something's the enemy is trying to attack what we have attack us to to take us from serving God, but we decided we not going to give out. No, you're not going to give out food serve the Lord and it's the time of a struggle is a time of testimonies that's life, but we decided he will never get a Will never get our pool you will win if you don't give up. It's so important you will win if you don't give out. So let's just pray. Let's just be in the presence of God God. We we need you. At the time we are here, we recognize we need you and I pray for each and every single heart today. Lyft came to you today because we are hungry you want to be hungry for more of you? I want to be hungry for more of you notes religious meeting notes rituals, but I want more of you we want more of you. We have a spiritual need and only you can. So I pray for each and every single hard. I pray for pastor know and I I pray for for the group in Canada. I pray for my wife in Poland in the street church and their I pray for all those who couldn't come today. And we pray Holy Spirit. We need you you recognize that we are weak. But you are strong you recognize that we are just Broken Vessels and we are in perfect. But it will not stop us from serving you you want to serve you in the influence you gave us. If it's church if it's work, if it's family if it's neighbors, we want to serve you as we can.

And this is what we going to do in the name of Jesus. We pray. Amen guys good to see I'm very happy. And I believe that I want to take from the point where Pastor now. Last week ago in the heat you were speaking and he was preaching about the holy spirit that the holy spirit is like a friend who takes you on adventure and I think Helen Keller she said it life is either a daring Adventure is it's a daring Adventure or it's nothing and what I'm going to do. I'm going to paraphrase her words and I say Christian Life is either a daring Adventure or it's not a Christian Life. Christian Life is Iver and God will life with God is either a daring Adventure or something is wrong. And then maybe maybe you've been disconnected. Maybe you've been disconnected from God. Maybe you've been disconnected from the holy spirit that is in you and he promised I am in you got who's in you and if your life is boring and it's it's not filled with with Adventure from God. Maybe you've been disconnected. Maybe there's something wrong. Maybe there's a spiritual each in you that you are trying to scratch with material thing because we all have a spiritual each. There's something in there is something between us that needs fulfillment. But I really believe that being in the will of God being on this journey of adventure with God will be fulfilling and everything outside. Will not bring us fulfillment is the spiritual each re something's trying to scratch with physical things with material things. But only God and being in his will is a safe place to be and that's why so many of us we are hurt and that's why we are going through seasons and I need to admit I'm going through season 2 when I'm losing the sight of God's will and I'm trying to find God's Will and fulfillment in different things. And then I am just unfulfilled and then sadness comes then depression comes then and fulfillment comes and we are trying to find everywhere else and we find ourselves. We are disconnected. So I wasn't in Romania and I just wanted to tell you to pick testimonies that really touched me and that prove that God life with God is Adventure. It's really adventure and I met two people so just too quick testimonies. So one is name is Milana and he's a gypsy he he's a gypsy from Romania and jeeps in Romania. They have a very bad reputation. So if you is something so if you see Romanian people of Romanian gypsies in Ireland in Europe, you might think that they have reputation that they don't want to work. They basically man go to prison very fast. There is are sending to marriage is very fast when they are 12 years old we could serve in the in in this Village and basically they have no future and they have no hope And melon was one of the guy who was 14 years old and they had no money. They have no food and there was a time when there was no electricity in their small shack and they had nothing who you think they were crying by bed and Mama and they couldn't they couldn't Megan and Finley, you know, they couldn't get in money and that was in the prison and anything when they heard that some missionaries came from United States. So she decided I'm going to go and I will ask them. Maybe they will give us some food. So she went and she came back with two plastic bags full of food filled with food and with money for electricity. And in that moment mean and he was crying in bed. He decided one day when I grow up. I will become like these people. And what he told me that time I met him as a password as a guy who's now Building a Church in Gypsy Village what he told me. He told me this moment was a defining moment in his life this moment changed his life forever and he said probably the missionaries that wear their didn't even know how big of an impact they had on his life. So this is something for us. You have an influence whatever you give at a sandwich, whatever you give a good word, whatever whatever you give money for electricity to someone you can impact someone's life forever and it was amazing to see this man and see how life with garter. Is it during an amazing adventure? And another person that really touched my life and touched her testimony was a woman that came into the service and she brought Pender's with her and they were all out and then when we could talk with her we learned at what stars she steals the girls from cartels from sex trafficking Carter's she steals them back to the families and she adopts them and there's a death sentence on her life.

Life with God is an adventure and if life with God is not an adventure. Maybe I am not living with God. If Christian life is not a daring adventure, maybe I don't give a real Christian Life. I really believe that life with God is an adventure life with God will be Adventure life will go with God is an adventure and today what I want to do. I spoke about Elijah for a long time. I have seasons of speaking about about a character one character so I could speak in last 5 months about the Lodge at five times to today. I'm just going to say bye to Elijah, but I believe that I still want to visit him for 10 minutes and then we'll go to a new character. But I just want to show you that life with God is really an adventure and Romania all the time when we were walking in mountains when when we were praying that spoke to two different people. Come for the secret place with me home to the secret place with me. You need to know me. You need to know me first and then life with me will be an adventure in if life isn't fulfilling. His life is boring if there's something wrong. It's probably because you are disconnected don't be disconnected. So what I want to do, I have someone's Bible action songs by Blues is it someone's life. I found it in church. So if it's yours, I will give it back to you after the service. No, okay, so I'll keep it. I'll I really like this by voice you can read it, but I'll keep it.

Maybe next service. So I found this paper. So what I want you to do now is to open your Bible and the first king 17 and will look for a while at the life of Elijah. And what I want to do is just summarize his life. Does summarize his life but I realized as I preached about Elijah. I never started with the beginning. I spoke about the profits. I spoke about the time on that mountain, I spoke about the time when he was taken to heaven, but I never started from the beginning. So let's look at the Kings 17 and let's look at his life and he's beginning 17. So 1st Kings 17.

you haven't

So, it's 71.

I found it. Like I said if I really like it. It's a Good News Bible

Elijah in the jog 217 a prophet named Elijah from Goliath set cooking a ham in the name of the Lord the Living God of Israel whom I serve I tell you that there will be no Jew or rain for the next two or three years until I say so then the Lord said to leave this place and go east and hide yourself near the brook of east of the Jordan the book will supply you with water to drink and I have commended Ravens to bring you food or the Lord's command and went and stayed at the brook. He drank water from the brook and the Ravens brought him bread and meat every morning and every evening after while the brook dried up because of the lack of the rain and I'm just thinking, you know about the larger. We don't know too much about his life before it's kind of one of the days the word of the Lord came to him we do. I'm like we know about David we don't know the stories about him. Like we know about Abraham. We don't know about his past as we know about Moses how he was brought up one day the word of the Lord just came to him and he went to the king of Ahab. So what I think and what I believe about the Elijah first thing I want to tell you he had to have a very good connection with God he had to have and I know I repeat it. So many times is Secret Place With God all adventures with God. They start with a secret place all adventures with God when I heard so many testimonies of men of God they started in the secret place people are rewarded for what they doing Secret outside and something sweet. We we look at people and we We think why I was such a good talent. Wow. God is using this person so much but it all starts in the secret place with relationship with God and Elijah. He knew he's got so the question to you who you know your guy or did you hear about your guy? This is very important that you just hear about your girl. You just read about your dad or do you know you're not do you know you're not Imagining the king the Creator the Alpha and Omega the beginning and he wants to have a relationship with you. With you with you. He wants to have a relationship with you a secret relationship review. Jesus said go to a secret place when your father is hiding the security he will reward you. So secret place to Elijah and you he's got any larger is saying when he went to a happy sain God that I said, you got to go pretty fast with God that I serve you serve God. I spoke about it before but I will repeat again. You serve God don't allow listen to this one. Don't allow your imperfection to stop you from serving God. This is what I have to learn don't allow your imperfection to start you. Stop you from serving God. He knows you're in perfect, but he still wants you to serve him. And as you serve him he will anoint you as you serve him. He will fulfill you as you serve him. He will speak to you as you serve him. He will fill you with power. You don't need his power if you don't serve him so he was serving God. I have this this rare rare pleasure of working with people who I'm in church with them people love me. And you know if I allowed my imperfections, they see my imperfections that you see when I get angry if I allowed my imperfections to stop me from serving. I would never come here. You know, so you only work with people who know you you will be with people who know your imperfection your family knows your imperfections the most but don't allow it to stop serving got served. So, I don't think Elijah was perfect. He was a man like us easy to get depressed easy to get angry. And so often look at this. So often. And when we go for the adventure, we've got what we part and what we imagine how things will turn out. It's not exactly what we can see. How are you much a nation of where we are is not exactly where we will be place in this moment. You probably had some plans for your life. Sometimes you achieved some plans. You didn't achieve some plans with totally opposite way. But just because you didn't imagine it. It doesn't mean that God is not with you. So when you think about the logic going to a have if you read about Joseph if he ever read about Joseph who actually went to Faroe and told him about that that the prophecy the prophecy that they would be 7 years and 7 years 7 years and 7 body is Joseph became who write handle power in his head being with God serving him when he go to work for the king. He could have thought maybe I will become who maybe I will be coming right over the king. Maybe I'll become I will be awarded for bringing the prophecy. Maybe he will repent and maybe you were safe or we repent don't set stop the rain, but it didn't happen. We see as he served as he went for adventure with God very fast. You have to run away. Redd Foxx gotta have to tell him. Hey, you need to run away you go hide so often when we go on the adventure, we've got it we find ourselves on the Wilderness in the wilderness and I remember at 3 weeks ago. I went actually into this Romanian Wilderness very early. And the sun was rising and I still with the beauty of wilderness. There's a beauty of wilderness in the wilderness 10 years ago when we were going through a hard time in our family and actually

Someone from his wife's family. He was very sick with cancer and I I just felt to go to Norway. I remember there in this time of pain during this time when we were thinking we going to lose him during the time of depression got took me to the Wilderness and if you show me the beauty of the Wilderness and so often God will take you to the Wilderness even for a hard time and he will show you the beauty of wilderness and there's a reason for the World Wilderness. God will take you to the novel ever if you don't give out in the wilderness, but what what I can promise you but I can promise you I will not promise you that everything if you serve God will go as you imagined it will go but what I can promise you is two things protection. And provision God will always protect you when you are in his will and God will always provide when you are in his will and now God warned him and told him you run way. I will protect you there. And then he said I will give you food. I will always provide when you go and I'm not just about Ministry. I'm talking when you are following God maybe things are not like you imagine they are but God will is and will always be with you and he would always protect and he will always provide protection protection protection. So many of you are here because of protection of God. Think about your life. Think about your life how God protect you think about your life how many times God protected you and I want to repeat it. Again, you're here because of God Divine protection. You are here because of God Divine provision, he will provide and he would protect as you are in the will of God will of God being in the will of God is a very exciting place to be it's an adventure and maybe some things that won't go as you are thinking it will go but you will always find safety in the will of God. There's a safety in the will of God. There's a safety in the word of God and there's a moment in the life of Elijah when the brook dried out. Remember the brook dried out and God is telling him to go to the Widow. Something's what happened in the desert. Is that the brook dries out?

What do you do when the stream dries out you do in the Stream dries out it means that you need to move on and I think something's the problem with us is that we Lori fight the desert so much that we stay on and God wants to take you to another level and I was working for mountains in Romania again, and I was working for the valleys and it was like this it was mountain in the Valley Mountain in the Valley Mountain in the body and what I noticed as you are going for The Valleys in the mountains and you are climbing You are going higher and higher and it feels like another body feels like another body but you are actually climbing and climbing to the top of the mountain and sometimes when you are going from the desert to the mountain and through the desert again God, he's actually taking you to another level that is taking you to another level in the life of a large. I can see it. He's going through bodies and he's going for victories. You're going through valleys in your life and you going from victories, but if you don't give up you going to go higher and higher and higher in that will work on your car and you will become stronger and you will not give up you win. If you don't give up you will win if you don't give up it's the encouragement. But there's a moment and I'm actually building now to the main topic. There's a moment when the angel comes to Elijah. And he tells him. haylijah this journey It's too hot for you. This journey is too hard for you. You cannot handle this journey. And God spoke to me when I was reading it. I cannot handle this journey without the Holy Spirit. So I just spilled it to talk about Holy Spirit today to continue to talk about the Holy Spirit this journey. Listen, it's too hard for you without the Holy Spirit and that's why so many of us we are we are we are willing or we won't give up or it's a struggle or we just going for a struggle from a struggle to a struggle and we are trying to survive and God is speaking to you. This journey is too hard for you without the help without the helper. That's why Jesus said I need to go to send the helper. I need to leave because you need the helper in the guard that I'm speaking about in the holy spirit that was upon you once upon me will be in you you need the helper and really I believe in my life and I believe in the church. Sometimes we are just so disconnected from the Holy Spirit. Imagine speak about it. Imagine you have God inside of you. It's biblical. I'm not talking about some horse. I'm not talking about summer God's power. I'm going talking about person. Holy spirit is God and Jesus promised us God Holy Spirit in US.

Your life and your task in your destiny is too hard for you to do it alone. It is too hard. It's impossible that you can fulfill your destiny alone. It's too tough. That's why God gives you Holy Spirit. That's why God gives me Holy Spirit. That's why I can stand here with my imperfection with my imperfection. I can move on I can still go on I can fall and I can get up in the Holy Spirit is groaning and he's searching my heart and then when I don't know how to pray when I don't want to pray he's there and he's praying for you and he's interceding for you. But my question is are you aware that you have Holy Spirit In You Are you aware that you have a helper in you? Look at your neighbor and say you have the Holy Spirit In You? You have the Holy Spirit. You have the Holy Spirit in you and he will help you in life is an adventure in life would have God is a daring Adventure, but you cannot do it without relaxation that the holy spirit is in you and you cannot leave him and you cannot say bye to him for a while. He is in you and Jesus. Hey, I want to talk about Jesus if Jesus needed Holy Spirit. Jesus have to be baptized with Holy Spirit. Jesus had to be filled with her. So you have to If you want to fulfill your destiny, if you want to have the influence got really wants you to have you know that God gave you an influence you have influence at work you have influence at your home you have influence with your co-workers you have influence in church you have influence and if you want to finish the influence, I want to have a secret relationship with the Holy Spirit. I want to actually put it as a priority. I will pray I will pray I will seek the Holy Spirit if we could put it as a priority as we do study as we do learning new skills as we do self improvement as we do so many things we think our priorities and I'm not saying they're not important we do self-improvement. We study we we we exercise If we don't put as a priority relationship with the holy spirit that is in you. Wow, we are losing a lot and I think this is the problem of church sometimes so often because we have all the ideas. We have all their social media. We have all all the equipment and all the only thing we lack sometimes is the power of the Holy Spirit. The power of Holy Spirit and this is what I just so fail to to share with with church today and to share with myself. That was just speaking to me in Romania. your own fulfillment so often comes from this connection with me. It's time to connect so it's time to connect. So let's look at his life of Jesus. I want to start a serious about Jesus now and the Holy Spirit. Let's look how how how Jesus started his ministry. Can we we can open the Luke chapter 3

and I would just choose few verses.

Luke chapter 3 and verse 21

Are you still with me?

I'm too serious. I'm going to smile and you can smile to me. Some Smiles. Good good. So so 321 after all the people have been baptized. Jesus poster was baptized while he was spraying heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit came down upon him in.

In bodily form like a dove and a voice Came From Heaven. You are my dear son. And I'm pleased with you. The first thing we can see Jesus needed Holy Spirit and as he was filled with the Holy Spirit. He learned his identity. He learned his identity. You are my beloved Son and I am well pleased with you. Do you know who you are? Do you know your identity? Do you know that you are a beloved Son a beloved daughter and the guy is actually pleased with you. That's why he gave his son for you because he's pleased with you. This is the place to start adventure with God your identity. If you know who you are other people cannot tell you who you are because you know who you are other people will not define you for with your past with your imperfection because you know who you are. Do you know who you are? That's my question. Do you know who you are in God? Do you know that God is pleased with you but God loves you, but God is merciful that God died for you. But God Gave You Holy Spirit to give you hope to keep you have spread of Courage has courage or bravery bravery. God gave you his spirit and he is well pleased with you. That's the first thing to start. That's the beginning of the adventure to know who you are. Do you know who you are? I want to leave you with this question. Do you know who you are?

Now we can go here and then in chapter 4 in chapter 4 again verse one we can read Jesus return from Jordan full of the holy spirit is with the Holy Spirit. Let's look at Jesus Jesus Jesus ministry. He was filled with Holy Spirit Wind look keeps repeating the same thing and why we are Church keep forgetting about the same person who Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. It was full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the spirit into the desert. Something's holy spirit will lead you in the desert and that's very similar to a larger situation. Is this a translation Elizabeth different than to my is Elizabeth achievement? So don't worry about this one is probably good to So sometimes holy spirit will lead you into the desert. He will lead you into the desert to test you to build your character. Whatever time you are coming Victorious from the desert you are coming a new person you're coming and you are on a different level. You are accelerating to a different level with God you going for a test and you learning how to trust God more and we hate being in the test. We are here in the desert. We don't like something's we don't see the beauty of the desert and I can say to you I don't like that. I don't like going for Diwali. But what I noticed every time when I don't give up, whatever time would I didn't give in every time I trusted even with tears, even we even with Wars the food they were contrary to what I believed what I trusted got took me to another level as you going for the desert. God will take you to another level and Jesus actually modeled it on the desert s Holy Spirit left him there to be tested and Jesus showed us how to go for it in 40 days. Sometimes the problem for us. We stay in there too long. Some of us we are on the same desert that we were 20 years ago where we supposed to be farther and farther and farther and we're still fighting with the same things. So God wants to help us when we are on the desert and some things he does there, but he will never forsake us. He will never leave us there. And you ever help again? You have the Holy Spirit and then and then we can reading the verse 14 the same chapter. Then Jesus return. Bugatti Lee and the power of the Holy Spirit was with him again the news about him spread throughout the territory. He taught in the synagogue synagogues and was praised by everyone. Then Jesus went to Nazareth where he had been brought up on the suburb. He went his usual to the synagogue. He stood after to read the scriptures and was attended the book of the prophet Isaiah and found the place where it was written. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind to set free the oppressed and announced that the time has come when the Lord will save his people You know, Jesus came to his hometown in the power of Holy Spirit. And the question is why do you need? Holy spirit? It's not only for your help. God wants to use you in order to what?

propane delivery to set the captives free. To bring the sides. those who cannot see you see God wants you to influence people in the Divine way and you know, when people Marvel that Jesus and people Praise Jesus and books we can read the people Marvel at his gracious words of how amazing he spoke keep her mother Jesus and what of translation I read because Jesus spoke with a Divine influence. He had a Divine influence on the heart of people and when I think about the gift of Holy Spirit imagine that you can speak to people with Divine influence on their heart. Do you know that you have an influence on people's heart, but with the Holy Spirit aware that you are filled with Holy Spirit, you can have the Divine influence and I know so many of you you have testimonies when you met people you spoke with people and you change them and you let In a better place they were when you found them. He's giving you a chance to have a Divine influence on people's heart. I love this word divine influence changing people's heart. Jesus change people's heart as he spoke and he sat down and they were all looking at him and they all Marvin's on his words of how he spoke to them and how he had Divine influence church. God wants us to have a Divine influence. Judge. God wants you to have a Divine influence in your work. Whatever you do. I want you to have a Divine influence to what you do Divine influence when you meet your neighbors Define influence when you meet your friends Divine influence when you are at work Divine influence when you are in church, God gave you divine influence for the Holy Spirit and we going to preach about the Holy Spirit for so long this we believe and we recognize as a church. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We don't want to talk just about Holy Spirit. We want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We don't we don't want to preach only about Holy Spirit what we want to experience Holy Spirit. Did you experience Holy Spirit? in your life Did you experience Holy Spirit lately? Did you hear from the Holy Spirit lately, or maybe you hear the enemy the devil more that you hear the Holy Spirit some of you probably hear the enemy more than you hear Holy Spirit. You hear all these words you are alone in the room and you hear all this world. You are not worthy. You're going to die. You going to get to see you or not. You have chili or just not made friends. You're not strong enough. You'll get depressed. You will get some of us. We hear the enemy more than we hear the Holy Spirit and God wants us to focus on his voice. That's why the Holy Spirit he will Empower you this why you pray for you? That's why he searches your heart. That's why he intercedes for you with groans. That's why he's a helper. That's why he would give you worse when you don't know what to speak. If you pick it up and some things people will come to your house. He will give you words. I remember one person from my work visited me a week ago. And he's going through a hard time and I didn't we kind of wanted to speak with him about that when we decided. We not going to put it on pressure. It's the first meeting. So we just want to get to know this guy. He was in our house for the first time and you were just sitting. Anyone moment he asks crazy question. He was like Have you ever felt like what what's the reason of as being created? What's the reason for us being here? And he started the conversation and then you actually you don't know what to answer first, but you have the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues and you can answer and you can say actually it's not like There's a reason. So so God wants us to influence people in a Divine Way. God is telling to ask into you the journey you're in is too hard for you. It's too hard for you to do it alone. So, why are you disconnected Gregory? Why are you disconnected? Whoever I'm talking to why are you disconnected from the holy spirit that gives you life gives you peace that gives you power don't get disconnected. And when Jesus said these words and they are looking at him and they are now now they are they are thinking while he's words. He's influencing asking such a powerful way. they start to question him member to question him and they saying isn't he the son of Joseph? It's very interesting. But Jesus said he he said that the spirit of God is upon me. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. The holy spirit is upon me. I came here that the words are fulfilled now. I came here to set the captives free. He sucks down to Marvel and then they asked isn't it not Joseph son. And you know every time you step in to get Destiny every time you stepping into a next-level every time you stepping in to the next level of influence people. Will Define you by your past. People will try to Define you by your past and Joseph son meant that they were not sure who Jesus was. Actually they knew him from the others, but it was something they didn't understand we know from the story that Joseph wasn't actually Jesus Lover erased him, but he wasn't his favor and there was something they couldn't understand so they started to question his past. Then every time you going to step in to new influences of God new ministry with God new adventure, we've got people will question your past and they will try to Define you as the soil before they will try to tell you. I knew you when I knew you win, but you don't allow your past Define your future. You don't allow your past Define your future. Do you know who you are? Do you know who you are Jesus knew who he was he knew that he wasn't just Joseph son. He was got some filled with the Holy Spirit to Proclaim freedom to influence people in the new way that word never seen before. Don't allow people to Define you with what they know. You need to know your identity. You need to know who you are in God.

I'm just going to That's goes. Then let's just worship God and I want to just tell you that life with God is a daring Adventure life with God is a daring adventure. And if your life is not an adventure, maybe you've been disconnected or maybe there was something wrong or there is something wrong. Maybe you are trying to scratch a spiritual eats with material things.

Maybe around 4 filled. Because you are not sensitive to what God is telling you into the destiny that God wants to send you to the will of God.

God has the best for you. And he gave you the holy spirit because he knows that the journey is too hard for you. He knows that you cannot do it alone. He knows that you are not able to do it alone. He knows that you're not able to fulfill what God has for you alone. That's why he gave you her lease. Gave you Holy Spirit and I want to ask those who feel disconnected today will start praying praying and play now, I want to start and ask you and those who feel disconnected a disconnected from the holy spirit will maybe there are some people who never experience the power of Holy Spirit. Next services for the time of next Services. We will welcome Holy Spirit every time we are here and I will give us opportunity to not only hear about the Holy Spirit but to experience I really want Holy Spirit In My Life.

No, no. No, I don't want to listen only about the police. I don't want to listen only the power about the power of that. I don't want to only hear about it. I need to experience.

Because I'm confused. When I'm disconnect.
