Welcome To Anchors Of Truth
from the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:00:12.30\00:00:17.56
When The Spirit
Falls with Mark Finley.
00:00:18.00\00:00:20.81
Well we welcome you to
this Anchors Of Truth series
00:00:22.20\00:00:27.49
coming to you live
from the Worship Center here
00:00:27.52\00:00:31.06
in West
Frankfort, Thompsonville.
00:00:31.09\00:00:33.92
And we're just so
happy that you could join us
00:00:33.95\00:00:37.85
by television and by radio.
00:00:37.88\00:00:40.71
And of course, we are so
happy that those that are here
00:00:40.74\00:00:44.93
in the auditorium
are with us tonight.
00:00:44.96\00:00:47.95
We're looking
forward to this series.
00:00:47.98\00:00:49.98
We've been anxiously awaiting
Pastor Mark Finley's coming
00:00:50.01\00:00:54.86
to be with us and to
present this five part series
00:00:55.26\00:01:00.45
on the Holy Spirit.
00:01:00.48\00:01:02.07
And I believe with all
of my heart that we are
00:01:02.27\00:01:05.47
going to be blessed.
00:01:05.50\00:01:07.18
Most of you know Pastor Finley.
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.14
But he is a man of great
experience in God's work.
00:01:10.17\00:01:14.70
He's been a pastor,
he's been an evangelist,
00:01:14.73\00:01:18.13
and then he was the speaker
and director of It Is Written.
00:01:18.16\00:01:23.44
He had the great pleasure and
thrill of being one of the very
00:01:23.88\00:01:30.68
first to preach in
the former Soviet Union.
00:01:30.71\00:01:35.38
He held a crusade
right there in Moscow.
00:01:35.41\00:01:39.14
And the second crusade they held
was right in the Kremlin itself.
00:01:39.17\00:01:44.56
And what a massive and
beautiful event that was.
00:01:44.59\00:01:50.41
We look forward to
hearing from him this few nights
00:01:50.44\00:01:54.40
that he's going to be here.
00:01:54.43\00:01:55.94
And we believe that we are
going to receive the Holy Spirit
00:01:55.97\00:02:01.95
as we study
about the Holy Spirit.
00:02:02.39\00:02:07.09
Before Pastor Finley
comes, we're going to have
00:02:07.12\00:02:10.95
Dr. Yvonne Lewis sing
for us that beautiful hymn,
00:02:10.98\00:02:15.65
In Christ Alone.
00:02:16.14\00:02:19.32
In Christ alone
my hope is found;
00:02:36.62\00:02:42.31
He is my
strength, my light, my song.
00:02:42.34\00:02:47.23
This Cornerstone,
this solid ground;
00:02:47.26\00:02:52.69
firm through the
fiercest drought and storm.
00:02:52.72\00:02:57.81
What heights of
love, what depths of peace;
00:02:57.84\00:03:02.89
when fears are
stilled, when strivings cease.
00:03:02.92\00:03:08.14
My Comforter, my All in All;
00:03:08.17\00:03:13.52
here in the love
of Christ I stand.
00:03:13.55\00:03:20.37
In Christ alone
who took on flesh;
00:03:26.01\00:03:31.80
fullness of God
in a helpless Babe.
00:03:31.83\00:03:36.67
This gift of love
and righteousness;
00:03:36.70\00:03:42.32
scorned by the
ones He came to save.
00:03:42.35\00:03:47.29
Till on that
cross as Jesus died,
00:03:47.32\00:03:52.56
the wrath of God was satisfied.
00:03:52.59\00:03:57.65
For every sin on Him was laid;
00:03:57.68\00:04:03.14
here in the
death of Christ I live.
00:04:03.17\00:04:09.86
There in the
ground His body lay;
00:04:28.97\00:04:34.45
Light of the
world by darkness slain.
00:04:34.48\00:04:39.17
Then bursting
forth in glorious Day,
00:04:39.20\00:04:44.83
up from the grave He rose again.
00:04:44.86\00:04:49.86
And as He stands in victory,
00:04:49.89\00:04:54.93
sin's curse has
lost its grip on me.
00:04:54.96\00:05:00.39
For I am His and He is mine;
00:05:00.42\00:05:05.59
bought with the
precious blood of Christ.
00:05:05.62\00:05:13.08
No guilt in
life, no fear in death;
00:05:18.43\00:05:23.73
this is the
power of Christ in me.
00:05:24.03\00:05:29.02
From a life's first
cry to final breath;
00:05:29.05\00:05:34.40
Jesus commands my destiny.
00:05:34.43\00:05:39.23
No power of
hell, no scheme of man,
00:05:39.26\00:05:44.66
can ever pluck me from His hand.
00:05:44.69\00:05:52.64
Till He returns to take me home,
00:05:52.67\00:05:57.60
here in the power
of Christ I stand.
00:05:57.63\00:06:02.87
No power of
hell, no scheme of man,
00:06:02.90\00:06:08.17
can ever pluck me from His hand.
00:06:08.20\00:06:14.92
Here in the power of Christ
00:06:18.45\00:06:26.84
I stand.
00:06:26.94\00:06:36.41
Amen.
00:06:40.52\00:06:41.89
I particularly like the
phrase of this song that says,
00:06:41.92\00:06:45.16
"No power of
hell, no scheme of man,
00:06:45.19\00:06:50.37
can pluck me
from Christ's hand."
00:06:50.91\00:06:54.29
The ministry of the Holy Spirit
is the ministry of Jesus Christ
00:06:56.07\00:07:01.10
in our hearts.
00:07:01.13\00:07:02.50
We're going to begin a five
part series on the Holy Spirit.
00:07:02.53\00:07:07.05
Tonight, we'll look at
the person of the Holy Spirit
00:07:07.08\00:07:10.14
and the work of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:10.17\00:07:11.68
Then we'll deal with the urgency
of receiving the Holy Spirit.
00:07:11.90\00:07:16.51
We'll talk about
true manifestations of the
00:07:16.84\00:07:18.76
Holy Spirit and
counterfeit manifestations
00:07:18.86\00:07:20.91
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:20.94\00:07:22.31
We'll talk about being
filled with the Holy Spirit
00:07:22.34\00:07:24.31
and how God finishes
His work with the outpouring
00:07:24.34\00:07:27.77
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:27.80\00:07:29.17
So you won't want to
miss one of these broadcasts.
00:07:29.20\00:07:31.77
Those of you who are
here in the live audience,
00:07:31.80\00:07:33.70
you will want to be
here every single night.
00:07:33.73\00:07:36.20
Let's pray as we open
God's Word in this first topic,
00:07:36.23\00:07:40.03
The Holy Spirit And
Its Role In Revival.
00:07:40.06\00:07:43.12
Father in heaven,
we thank You so much
00:07:43.15\00:07:45.39
for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:45.42\00:07:47.12
And we pray Thee that as we
study this precious gift tonight
00:07:47.32\00:07:51.45
that we would not merely enter
into an intellectual exercise,
00:07:52.40\00:07:58.49
that this would be more than
the study of the biblical truth
00:07:58.99\00:08:03.27
of the Spirit, as
important as that is,
00:08:03.30\00:08:06.22
but that tonight we
would have an experience
00:08:06.78\00:08:09.97
with God through the
Holy Spirit that is far closer
00:08:10.00\00:08:15.47
and more intimate than
we can possible imagine.
00:08:15.87\00:08:19.35
So come, touch our hearts.
00:08:19.98\00:08:22.61
Do something in
our lives significant.
00:08:23.11\00:08:25.41
We pray Thee in
Jesus' name, amen.
00:08:25.44\00:08:29.02
I had just finished preaching
on The Holy Spirit and Revival.
00:08:29.72\00:08:34.56
And after the
sermon, a man came up to me
00:08:35.39\00:08:38.25
and he said, "Can we talk?"
00:08:38.28\00:08:40.89
I said, "Sure. I'm
always happy to talk."
00:08:40.92\00:08:44.77
And he said, "I have
some questions for you
00:08:44.99\00:08:47.73
about the Holy Spirit."
00:08:47.76\00:08:49.43
"Well, what are your questions?"
00:08:49.78\00:08:51.41
And he went round
and round and round
00:08:51.83\00:08:54.82
for the first 5 minutes.
00:08:54.85\00:08:56.22
I was waiting for him
to come down for a landing
00:08:56.25\00:08:59.04
to ask me the question.
00:08:59.07\00:09:00.44
And after about five
minutes, I said, "Now sir,
00:09:00.47\00:09:02.56
did you tell me
you have a question?"
00:09:02.59\00:09:04.83
You know, some people
after a meeting come up and
00:09:04.86\00:09:06.45
they say they have a
question, but they want to
00:09:06.48\00:09:08.40
preach you a sermon.
00:09:08.43\00:09:09.80
They want to convince you
of what they think is right.
00:09:09.87\00:09:12.82
So after this guy went
round and round and round
00:09:12.85\00:09:15.43
and preached his
little sermon to me,
00:09:15.46\00:09:18.03
I said, "Now by the way,
did you have a question, sir?"
00:09:18.23\00:09:21.07
And he said, "Yes, I do.
00:09:21.74\00:09:23.17
Is the Holy Spirit a force
or is the Holy Spirit a person?
00:09:23.57\00:09:29.95
Is the Holy Spirit a
power that emanates from God
00:09:30.33\00:09:34.37
or is the Holy Spirit
really a divine being?"
00:09:34.40\00:09:39.36
That question is
incredibly important.
00:09:39.39\00:09:42.46
Now it's
important for this reason.
00:09:42.66\00:09:44.47
If the Holy Spirit is merely
a person, rather merely a power,
00:09:45.79\00:09:53.59
if the Holy Spirit is merely
a power, and if the Holy Spirit
00:09:53.69\00:09:57.74
is not the divine
third Person of the Godhead,
00:09:57.77\00:10:02.46
if the Holy Spirit is just
some kind of impersonal force,
00:10:02.49\00:10:06.69
what will that lead me to do?
00:10:06.72\00:10:08.95
Look at it on the screen.
00:10:09.23\00:10:10.60
If the Holy Spirit is a
mere influence or power,
00:10:10.63\00:10:12.91
we're likely to try to
grasp this power and use it.
00:10:12.94\00:10:16.54
In other words, if I believe the
Holy Spirit is simply a power,
00:10:16.86\00:10:20.45
then I'll be
asking the question,
00:10:20.48\00:10:21.87
"How can I use this power?
00:10:21.90\00:10:24.47
How can this force empower me?"
00:10:25.08\00:10:29.64
But if the Holy Spirit really
is the divine third Person
00:10:29.97\00:10:34.49
of the Godhead, I
will be on my knees saying,
00:10:34.52\00:10:37.27
"Oh Jesus, fill
me with that Spirit
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.92
and use me through the
Spirit and by the Spirit."
00:10:40.95\00:10:44.41
So it makes all the
difference in the world
00:10:45.27\00:10:48.42
what you believe
about the Holy Spirit.
00:10:48.78\00:10:52.69
I was really interested in
a statement that was made by
00:10:53.13\00:10:57.67
Bill Bright in the
"Campus Crusade For Christ."
00:10:57.70\00:11:01.10
Bill said this, he said,
"I'm personally convinced
00:11:01.13\00:11:04.46
that if today's
Christians better understood
00:11:04.49\00:11:08.27
the Bible's basic
teaching about the Holy Spirit
00:11:08.30\00:11:11.32
and then invited Him to
release His power in their lives
00:11:11.35\00:11:15.16
each day, they would
experience unprecedented
00:11:15.19\00:11:19.09
joy and personal fulfillment.
00:11:19.12\00:11:21.60
More than that, our verbal
and non-verbal witness for Jesus
00:11:21.80\00:11:26.24
would sweep the world."
00:11:26.27\00:11:27.78
I'm interested in that
statement by Bill Bright
00:11:28.08\00:11:31.11
where he says that if we
allow ourselves to be filled
00:11:31.14\00:11:36.42
with the Holy Spirit,
there'll be unprecedented power
00:11:36.45\00:11:40.54
in our lives, and
unprecedented joy.
00:11:40.57\00:11:44.87
Would you like to experience
unprecedented intimacy
00:11:44.90\00:11:49.48
with God in your
own spiritual life?
00:11:49.51\00:11:52.28
Would you like to have an
experience with God that is
00:11:52.90\00:11:55.55
far closer than you
possibly could imagine?
00:11:55.58\00:12:00.47
Would you like to receive
Christ's supernatural power
00:12:01.17\00:12:05.71
to live a
victorious Christian life?
00:12:05.74\00:12:07.39
Are there sins in your
life that you've struggled with?
00:12:08.31\00:12:11.85
Temptations that have
seemed to just overwhelm you
00:12:12.18\00:12:16.82
that you wish you
could get victory over?
00:12:17.02\00:12:19.36
Understanding the ministry
of the Holy Spirit in your life
00:12:19.77\00:12:24.76
is the answer to victory.
00:12:25.06\00:12:27.42
Being filled with the
Spirit is the answer to victory.
00:12:27.45\00:12:31.14
Overcoming sin in our
life is not gritting our teeth
00:12:31.54\00:12:36.44
and clenching our fists
and just hoping by some magic
00:12:36.47\00:12:42.56
formula of physical
stamina that we can overcome.
00:12:42.59\00:12:48.27
The devil is
stronger than we are.
00:12:48.77\00:12:50.87
What do you say?
00:12:50.90\00:12:52.27
But Jesus is
stronger than the devil.
00:12:52.30\00:12:54.14
And understanding the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:12:54.98\00:12:58.30
makes all the difference.
00:12:58.55\00:13:00.00
Would you like to be a
powerful witness for Jesus?
00:13:00.03\00:13:02.76
Would you like to have the
Holy Spirit working in your life
00:13:03.25\00:13:07.40
to enable you to
touch others with the grace
00:13:07.75\00:13:11.65
and kingdom of God?
00:13:11.68\00:13:13.05
Understanding the Holy
Spirit makes all the difference.
00:13:13.08\00:13:16.40
And that's what we want
to study about this evening.
00:13:27.37\00:13:31.23
That's what we want to
focus on in this presentation.
00:13:31.26\00:13:34.43
Who is the Holy Spirit?
00:13:34.46\00:13:36.24
How does the Holy Spirit
work in an individual life?
00:13:36.44\00:13:39.52
And how can I be filled with
the power of the Holy Spirit?
00:13:40.05\00:13:44.73
In the book, Gospel
Workers, Ellen White makes
00:13:44.76\00:13:47.91
this penetrating statement.
00:13:47.94\00:13:49.99
Now that statement is
powerful on two accounts.
00:14:01.46\00:14:04.44
First it says, "It is the
Holy Spirit that quickens..."
00:14:04.65\00:14:07.66
That is, makes alive.
00:14:07.69\00:14:09.72
"...the deadened
faculties of the soul."
00:14:10.00\00:14:12.28
So it's the Holy Spirit
working in us that gives us
00:14:12.31\00:14:15.54
spiritual longings.
00:14:15.57\00:14:17.09
We would never come to Christ
initially unless the Holy Spirit
00:14:17.12\00:14:20.88
was working in our life.
00:14:20.91\00:14:22.28
We would never desire to
pray unless the Holy Spirit
00:14:22.31\00:14:25.07
was working in our life.
00:14:25.10\00:14:26.47
We'd never desire to read
the Bible unless the Holy Spirit
00:14:26.50\00:14:28.96
is working in our life.
00:14:28.99\00:14:30.57
And we would never appreciate
divine things unless the
00:14:30.75\00:14:34.57
Holy Spirit is
working in our life.
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.26
So understanding the
ministry of the Holy Spirit,
00:14:36.46\00:14:38.59
understanding who
the Holy Spirit is,
00:14:38.62\00:14:40.37
makes all the difference
in the Christian life.
00:14:40.40\00:14:43.14
So let's look first this evening
in this first presentation
00:14:43.44\00:14:46.95
at who is the Holy Spirit.
00:14:46.98\00:14:50.26
Is the Holy Spirit the divine
third Person of the Godhead
00:14:52.94\00:14:56.74
that's eternal
omnipresent everywhere?
00:14:56.94\00:15:01.04
Now that's a
difficult concept to grasp.
00:15:01.89\00:15:05.50
And that leads some
people to have this idea:
00:15:05.70\00:15:09.13
"If I cannot fully understand
how the Holy Spirit can be
00:15:09.36\00:15:14.07
present everywhere and
still be a divine Personage,
00:15:14.10\00:15:19.36
that must mean the Holy
Spirit is some kind of power.
00:15:19.39\00:15:24.01
It must mean that the Holy
Spirit is some kind of force
00:15:24.27\00:15:27.56
if I can't grasp it."
00:15:27.59\00:15:29.19
Because often we
equate divine personality
00:15:29.22\00:15:32.64
with visibility.
00:15:32.67\00:15:34.04
In other words, in heaven,
someday I believe I'm going to
00:15:34.07\00:15:37.34
see God the Father.
00:15:37.37\00:15:38.74
In heaven, I believe
I'm going to see Jesus.
00:15:38.88\00:15:41.47
But will I actually
see the Holy Spirit?
00:15:41.50\00:15:43.63
You know, the mind has this
way of playing tricks on us.
00:15:43.66\00:15:47.36
That if I can't really
grasp something in my mind,
00:15:47.39\00:15:51.35
then it must not be reality.
00:15:51.66\00:15:53.92
Now thinking of the Holy
Spirit as a force rather than a
00:15:53.95\00:15:56.44
divine Being has
two major problems.
00:15:56.47\00:15:58.71
Because I can't explain
something, does that mean
00:16:06.07\00:16:08.74
that something which I
can't explain does not exist?
00:16:08.77\00:16:11.98
Augustine said this once...
00:16:12.01\00:16:13.48
Now I recognize the word
"Trinity" is not in the Bible.
00:16:19.44\00:16:21.80
The Bible uses
the term "Godhead."
00:16:21.83\00:16:23.57
We use the word "Trinity"
like we use other words
00:16:23.90\00:16:26.84
to describe reality.
00:16:26.87\00:16:28.63
We use the word "millennium."
00:16:28.66\00:16:30.26
It's not in the Bible, but
the Bible talks in Revelation 20
00:16:30.29\00:16:33.36
about the thousand years.
00:16:33.39\00:16:34.76
So we use the word "Trinity"
to describe, not three Beings
00:16:34.79\00:16:38.94
in one God, but three
distinct separate Beings.
00:16:38.97\00:16:43.80
The Father is a
Being, the Son is a Being,
00:16:43.83\00:16:46.42
the Holy Spirit is a Being.
00:16:46.45\00:16:47.82
That's the way we use it.
00:16:47.85\00:16:49.33
You know, one time one of
the great religious philosophers
00:16:49.36\00:16:52.72
was walking on the beach.
00:16:52.75\00:16:54.12
And as he was walking,
the tide was coming in.
00:16:54.15\00:16:56.31
And as this tide came
in, he saw a little boy
00:16:56.34\00:16:59.00
who had dug a hole.
00:16:59.20\00:17:00.69
And he had a pail and he
was running out to the sea
00:17:00.72\00:17:03.64
dumping water in the pail.
00:17:03.67\00:17:05.17
And this religious philosopher
was walking along trying to say,
00:17:05.50\00:17:08.37
"How can I
understand the Father, the Son,
00:17:08.40\00:17:10.22
and the Holy Spirit,
three separate Beings?
00:17:10.25\00:17:12.16
And how can I understand the
Holy Spirit's work in nature?"
00:17:12.19\00:17:15.26
He saw this little boy trying
to put this water in the hole.
00:17:15.29\00:17:19.43
And he said to the little
boy, "What are you doing?"
00:17:19.46\00:17:21.30
The little boy said, "You know
what I'm going to do, mister?
00:17:21.80\00:17:23.85
I'm going to put
that ocean in this hole."
00:17:23.95\00:17:27.16
And immediately, the
religious philosopher thought,
00:17:29.45\00:17:31.47
"That's what I'm trying to do.
00:17:31.83\00:17:33.20
I'm trying to put the
infinite wisdom of God
00:17:33.23\00:17:36.89
into this little brain."
00:17:36.92\00:17:38.69
By faith we understand
that which the Bible says,
00:17:39.40\00:17:43.41
even if we cannot
fully understand it.
00:17:43.61\00:17:47.29
And the Bible uses
numerous terms to describe
00:17:47.67\00:17:51.20
the Holy Spirit as a Person.
00:17:51.23\00:17:52.60
It says you can
grieve the Holy Spirit.
00:17:52.63\00:17:54.19
You can't grieve an influence.
00:17:54.22\00:17:55.59
It says the Holy
Spirit pleads with you.
00:17:55.62\00:17:57.51
How can a power, a
force, a non-being, plead?
00:17:57.91\00:18:01.44
The Bible says the
Holy Spirit comforts you.
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.92
The Bible says the
Holy Spirit teaches you.
00:18:03.95\00:18:05.77
Does a force teach you?
00:18:05.80\00:18:07.38
When you read the Bible
clearly, the New Testament,
00:18:07.77\00:18:10.65
John chapters 14, 15,
and 16, the Bible talks about
00:18:10.68\00:18:14.79
the Holy Spirit as a divine
Being, a divine Personage.
00:18:15.09\00:18:18.23
It talks about the
Holy Spirit as "Him,"
00:18:18.26\00:18:20.09
the third Person of the Godhead.
00:18:20.12\00:18:22.77
We live in a world where
many say, "Seeing is believing.
00:18:22.80\00:18:25.56
I can't see the Holy Spirit, so
I don't believe it necessarily."
00:18:25.59\00:18:29.04
Well if you can't touch
it, if it's not material,
00:18:29.41\00:18:31.95
if you cannot quantify
it, the idea in many minds is
00:18:31.98\00:18:36.36
that it just does not exist.
00:18:36.39\00:18:39.48
But when you really think of it,
that's not intellectual at all.
00:18:39.51\00:18:42.52
Because you don't have
to understand everything
00:18:42.76\00:18:46.52
about something to appreciate
the something we may not know
00:18:46.55\00:18:50.42
everything about.
00:18:50.47\00:18:51.84
Do you understand light
waves in television tonight?
00:18:52.75\00:18:56.37
For those of you watching
at home, can you explain to me
00:18:56.96\00:19:00.79
exactly how a TV picture
is contained on a light wave
00:19:00.82\00:19:07.11
bringing this 3ABN
program into your home?
00:19:07.14\00:19:09.03
Can you explain that?
00:19:09.06\00:19:10.43
Can you explain how there
may be a hundred, two-hundred,
00:19:10.46\00:19:12.70
different things
that people call channels?
00:19:12.73\00:19:15.23
And you have a little button
like this and you push them
00:19:15.26\00:19:17.44
and they come on the TV screen?
00:19:17.47\00:19:18.94
Now please
explain the mathematical
00:19:18.97\00:19:20.69
formula for that, huh?
00:19:20.72\00:19:22.17
Can you do that?
00:19:22.60\00:19:23.97
Can you explain the internet?
00:19:24.27\00:19:26.03
Can you explain the
intricacies of having an iPad?
00:19:26.06\00:19:31.66
Can you explain all that?
00:19:31.69\00:19:33.06
Now you're never going
to use a television again,
00:19:33.09\00:19:34.46
never going to
use a computer again,
00:19:34.49\00:19:35.86
never going to use
the internet again,
00:19:35.89\00:19:37.26
because you can't
explain all that, right?
00:19:37.29\00:19:38.66
Is that right?
00:19:38.69\00:19:40.06
Not at all.
00:19:40.09\00:19:41.46
Can you tell me
exactly what happens
00:19:41.49\00:19:45.80
when you eat Mrs.
Finley's healthy granola?
00:19:45.83\00:19:49.89
Can you tell me about how
the vitamin B gives you thiamine
00:19:51.03\00:19:54.28
so it stabilizes
your nervous system?
00:19:54.31\00:19:56.19
Can you do that?
00:19:56.29\00:19:57.66
Can you tell me how...
00:19:57.69\00:19:59.46
And you're going to see
Mrs. Finley on Hope Ch...
00:19:59.49\00:20:02.06
...on 3ABN television...
00:20:02.09\00:20:04.09
You know,
sometimes this old brain.
00:20:04.17\00:20:05.80
They all work together anyway.
00:20:05.99\00:20:07.36
You're going to see Mrs.
Finley on 3ABN television
00:20:07.42\00:20:10.01
doing some of those
cooking demonstrations.
00:20:10.67\00:20:12.04
How does all that work?
00:20:12.07\00:20:13.44
How does all that work?
00:20:13.70\00:20:15.07
But because you can't
explain the benefits of granola,
00:20:15.63\00:20:19.22
that doesn't mean you're
not going to eat it, right?
00:20:19.90\00:20:21.68
We accept all the time things
that we cannot fully explain.
00:20:22.24\00:20:28.85
And it's true that
way about the Holy Spirit.
00:20:28.88\00:20:32.02
There are two real
problems about thinking
00:20:32.12\00:20:33.49
that the Holy Spirit is a force.
00:20:33.52\00:20:34.89
One, it's a human attempt
to explain divine things.
00:20:34.92\00:20:37.46
But second, it's
contrary to the Bible.
00:20:37.49\00:20:39.06
Now you say, "Pastor Mark,
that's a pretty strong statement
00:20:39.38\00:20:41.80
that believing the Holy
Spirit is simply a power.
00:20:41.83\00:20:43.75
Can you prove
that from the Bible?"
00:20:43.78\00:20:45.41
Well let's look at
three extremely plain
00:20:45.44\00:20:48.12
New Testament texts
that describe the divine Trio
00:20:48.15\00:20:52.48
in the Godhead.
00:20:52.51\00:20:53.88
Let's look at them clearly.
00:20:53.91\00:20:55.28
Well one of course is
Matthew chapter 28 verse 19.
00:20:55.31\00:20:57.44
Jesus says...
00:20:57.47\00:20:58.84
The name of the Father; that's
not the name of some force.
00:21:06.62\00:21:09.56
The name of the Son; that's
not the name of some force
00:21:09.59\00:21:12.89
or some power.
00:21:12.92\00:21:14.29
The name of the Holy Spirit.
00:21:14.32\00:21:15.69
So the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
00:21:15.72\00:21:17.12
If you say the Holy Spirit
is simply a power or force,
00:21:17.15\00:21:19.38
non-personal, then
you have to say that the
00:21:19.41\00:21:22.16
Father and the Son are.
00:21:22.19\00:21:23.65
And that would deny the
existence of the living God.
00:21:23.68\00:21:27.57
I love the way
Ellen White puts it.
00:21:27.60\00:21:29.49
She leaves no question about it.
00:21:29.85\00:21:31.77
Look there,
here's the statement.
00:21:31.80\00:21:33.90
Can you read that
with me, 3ABN audience?
00:21:33.93\00:21:36.00
And on
television, 3ABN audience.
00:21:36.03\00:21:37.79
Read it together with me.
00:21:37.82\00:21:39.19
"Three
living..." What, audience?
00:21:42.43\00:21:44.13
"Three
living..." What, audience?
00:21:44.42\00:21:45.85
Persons.
00:21:46.16\00:21:47.53
Now notice how plain it is.
00:22:08.49\00:22:10.12
"There are three living
Persons of the heavenly Trio."
00:22:10.15\00:22:13.90
We need not have any
questions in our mind
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.49
about whether the divine
Son of God is a living Person,
00:22:16.79\00:22:21.28
whether the Holy Spirit
is, and whether the Father is.
00:22:21.31\00:22:23.97
Now look at
Ephesians 2 verse 18.
00:22:24.00\00:22:25.90
Unites again the Father,
Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:22:26.47\00:22:28.79
Here we have it.
00:22:28.82\00:22:30.19
So the Bible talks
about the Father, the Son,
00:22:37.77\00:22:41.51
and the Holy Spirit in multiple
passages linked together.
00:22:41.54\00:22:47.50
In fact, if you notice
that throughout Scripture,
00:22:47.91\00:22:51.65
the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit cooperate to accomplish
00:22:51.68\00:22:57.28
heaven's purposes in
the plan of redemption.
00:22:57.31\00:22:59.73
The Father designed the
master plan of redemption
00:23:00.43\00:23:03.91
in heaven's counsel.
00:23:03.94\00:23:05.56
The Son left
heaven and came to earth
00:23:06.22\00:23:09.26
to live the perfect life
that we should have lived
00:23:09.86\00:23:12.44
and to die the death
that we should have died.
00:23:12.47\00:23:14.98
Through His
righteousness we are saved.
00:23:15.70\00:23:18.25
Our guilt is gone through Him.
00:23:18.28\00:23:20.34
But it's the Holy Spirit,
the third Person of the Godhead,
00:23:20.37\00:23:23.69
that draws us to
Christ, that awakens within us
00:23:23.72\00:23:27.23
a desire to follow Jesus,
and then when we accept Christ,
00:23:27.26\00:23:30.77
transforms our lives.
00:23:30.80\00:23:32.71
It is through the Holy Spirit
that Jesus lives within us.
00:23:32.74\00:23:38.50
Notice 2 Corinthians
chapter 13 and verse 14.
00:23:38.53\00:23:42.98
Now this text is
very, very plain.
00:23:52.62\00:23:55.04
It describes three
things about the Godhead.
00:23:55.07\00:23:59.39
It talks about...
00:23:59.42\00:24:00.79
So when you look at Scripture
clearly and objectively,
00:24:07.45\00:24:12.94
there can be no question that
the Holy Spirit is the divine
00:24:13.39\00:24:17.25
third Person of the Godhead.
00:24:17.28\00:24:18.82
Tonight, wherever you
are watching this telecast,
00:24:24.50\00:24:28.32
the Holy Spirit is
working on your life.
00:24:28.35\00:24:30.96
You may not be a Christian,
you may have come across
00:24:31.30\00:24:34.81
Three Angel's
Broadcasting by accident,
00:24:34.84\00:24:37.50
but the Holy Spirit
is working in your life.
00:24:37.53\00:24:39.62
It's no accident that
you're watching this telecast.
00:24:39.90\00:24:42.90
God has drawn you to it.
00:24:42.93\00:24:45.02
And those of you
in this live audience,
00:24:45.05\00:24:46.89
God has brought you here.
00:24:46.92\00:24:48.94
And during this presentation,
you'll sense the ministry
00:24:48.97\00:24:52.20
of the Holy
Spirit in your own life.
00:24:52.23\00:24:54.08
You'll sense Jesus
drawing you closer and closer
00:24:54.11\00:24:57.21
and still closer to Him.
00:24:57.24\00:24:59.57
And this Holy Spirit
speaks to our hearts.
00:25:09.27\00:25:12.81
This Holy Spirit
comforts us in sorrow.
00:25:12.84\00:25:15.75
This Holy Spirit
convicts us in sin.
00:25:15.78\00:25:19.02
This Holy Spirit
leads us to righteousness.
00:25:19.05\00:25:21.98
This Holy Spirit teaches us.
00:25:22.01\00:25:23.68
In the book, The Coming
of the Comforter, on page 41,
00:25:23.71\00:25:26.54
by Leroy Froom, notice
this penetrating statement.
00:25:26.57\00:25:30.65
And to that
statement, I say amen.
00:25:49.55\00:25:51.89
What do you say?
00:25:51.92\00:25:53.29
The Holy Spirit comes to
earth to take the vacated place
00:25:53.32\00:25:58.56
of Christ who
ascended back up into heaven.
00:25:58.59\00:26:02.11
Ellen White puts it this
way in Testimonies To Ministers,
00:26:02.14\00:26:05.99
writing to pastors so they
would be clear on this subject,
00:26:06.02\00:26:08.57
page 392, she says...
00:26:09.25\00:26:11.12
So when Jesus ascended
to heaven, He promised His
00:26:25.97\00:26:29.97
earthly followers the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
00:26:30.00\00:26:32.57
We need not fight the
battle of Satan on our own.
00:26:32.60\00:26:37.21
I love this phrase that
says, "with no modified energy."
00:26:37.57\00:26:40.63
The fullness of the
Holy Spirit is yours tonight.
00:26:40.66\00:26:44.47
The fullness of divine
power, the Christian life,
00:26:44.50\00:26:47.83
is not this battle, this
struggle, against the devil
00:26:47.86\00:26:51.20
where I simply try
to clench my teeth and
00:26:51.23\00:26:54.33
fight off the evil one.
00:26:54.36\00:26:56.05
As I open my heart to God, Jesus
lives in me through His Spirit.
00:26:56.08\00:27:00.98
Jesus empowers me
through His Spirit.
00:27:01.01\00:27:03.54
Jesus transforms
me through His Spirit.
00:27:03.57\00:27:06.16
And things I never thought
possible, victories I never
00:27:06.19\00:27:09.52
thought possible, are
possible through the power
00:27:09.55\00:27:12.58
of the Holy Spirit
living in me and living in you.
00:27:12.61\00:27:15.17
What do you say?
00:27:15.20\00:27:16.57
I love the way Jesus puts it.
00:27:17.53\00:27:19.55
Jesus says in John
14 verses 6 and 7...
00:27:19.58\00:27:22.09
Read it together with
me please from the screen.
00:27:22.12\00:27:24.43
Jesus said to the disciples,
"I'm going to ascend to heaven.
00:27:49.86\00:27:53.86
I'm leaving you.
00:27:54.56\00:27:55.93
But I'm not leaving you alone.
00:27:56.05\00:27:58.03
I'm not leaving you powerless.
00:27:58.23\00:28:00.53
I am going to send the
gift of the Holy Spirit to you.
00:28:00.73\00:28:04.71
And the Holy
Spirit will live in you."
00:28:05.01\00:28:07.57
And Jesus says, "I, through
that Spirit, will live in you."
00:28:07.77\00:28:11.74
So the Spirit of Christ
dwelling in us is the personal
00:28:11.77\00:28:16.65
presence of Jesus
promised to those disciples.
00:28:16.68\00:28:20.44
And He says, "This Spirit
will abide with you forever."
00:28:20.47\00:28:25.14
The first and second
Person of the Godhead,
00:28:25.17\00:28:28.78
the Father and the
Son, take up residence
00:28:29.61\00:28:33.67
in our hearts through the
third member of the Godhead;
00:28:33.70\00:28:38.12
the Holy Spirit.
00:28:38.15\00:28:39.56
Now this is an
incredible thought.
00:28:40.04\00:28:42.37
Christ in you,
the hope of glory.
00:28:42.70\00:28:45.60
Jesus wants to dwell in you.
00:28:46.12\00:28:49.27
Jesus wants to live in
you through His Holy Spirit.
00:28:49.78\00:28:55.88
My heart is to be a temple just
as there is a temple in heaven,
00:29:02.66\00:29:08.52
a sanctuary in heaven.
00:29:08.76\00:29:11.04
And the Shekinah glory of God's
presence fills that sanctuary.
00:29:11.37\00:29:16.80
So Paul says, "You are
the temple of the Holy Ghost."
00:29:17.12\00:29:22.19
God, through the Holy Spirit,
Jesus, through the Holy Spirit,
00:29:23.05\00:29:26.77
longs to dwell in us
and have His Shekinah glory
00:29:27.15\00:29:31.97
dwell through us.
00:29:32.00\00:29:33.80
Remember what Jesus said in that
marvelous passage in Luke 11?
00:29:34.42\00:29:38.74
Where Jesus said,
"If you then being evil
00:29:39.04\00:29:43.02
know how to give good
gifts to your children,
00:29:43.05\00:29:46.77
so much more will the heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit..."
00:29:47.30\00:29:51.62
To those that do what?
00:29:51.65\00:29:53.35
To those that do what?
00:29:53.59\00:29:54.96
Are you on your knees
asking God every day to
00:29:55.24\00:29:58.17
fill you with His Holy Spirit?
00:29:58.20\00:29:59.93
Are you saying, "Jesus,
make my heart Your home.
00:30:00.46\00:30:06.04
Lord, make my life a temple.
00:30:06.29\00:30:09.15
Lord, fill me
with the Holy Spirit."
00:30:09.35\00:30:11.54
Ask, and it
shall be given to you.
00:30:11.57\00:30:14.05
Seek, and you shall find.
00:30:14.08\00:30:16.33
Knock, and it
shall be opened unto you.
00:30:16.57\00:30:18.96
All the promises of God, Paul
says in 1 Corinthians chapter 1
00:30:18.99\00:30:23.14
verse 19 and onward, are yes.
00:30:23.17\00:30:25.67
God's promises
are not yes and no.
00:30:25.95\00:30:28.04
God's promises are yes.
00:30:28.07\00:30:29.68
Has God promised to give you,
as a believer, the Holy Spirit?
00:30:29.71\00:30:32.43
Has He?
00:30:32.46\00:30:33.83
Has He promised that?
00:30:33.86\00:30:35.23
Is God a liar?
00:30:35.26\00:30:36.63
Is there anything
impossible for God to do?
00:30:36.84\00:30:39.24
Yes there is.
00:30:39.95\00:30:41.32
The Bible says that.
00:30:41.51\00:30:42.88
Didn't you know that?
00:30:42.91\00:30:44.28
It is impossible for Him to...
00:30:44.69\00:30:47.04
You know, Pastor Finley
was a teacher for a while.
00:30:47.59\00:30:49.24
You know I'd get
you on that one, right?
00:30:49.27\00:30:50.76
So is there anything
impossible for God to do?
00:30:51.86\00:30:54.03
The Bible says, "It is
impossible for God to lie."
00:30:54.76\00:30:59.08
Will God lie to us?
00:30:59.11\00:31:00.48
Did He promise
us the Holy Spirit?
00:31:00.91\00:31:02.66
Will He send the Holy Spirit as
He's promised as we ask for it?
00:31:03.09\00:31:06.66
Can you by faith say, "Jesus,
You promised me Your Holy Spirit
00:31:07.13\00:31:10.95
and I feel so
powerless in my life.
00:31:10.98\00:31:13.18
But You stand behind
every promise You've made.
00:31:13.49\00:31:16.45
And I accept by faith
that the Holy Spirit is coming
00:31:16.48\00:31:19.54
from heaven for me right now."
00:31:19.57\00:31:22.31
The Holy Spirit was poured
out on the day of Pentecost.
00:31:22.34\00:31:24.51
And it will be poured
out just before Jesus comes
00:31:24.54\00:31:27.39
in abundant power again.
00:31:27.42\00:31:29.24
We're going to be studying
about that in this series.
00:31:29.27\00:31:31.87
Look, here's a
marvelous statement again
00:31:31.90\00:31:34.89
from the pen of Ellen White.
00:31:34.92\00:31:36.29
Now I don't want you
to miss the last sentence,
00:32:03.19\00:32:04.77
so read it with me.
00:32:04.80\00:32:06.17
Do you grasp the
significance of that?
00:32:13.59\00:32:15.61
What if you knew tonight
that Jesus was going to come
00:32:16.33\00:32:22.22
right here in this auditorium?
00:32:22.86\00:32:24.80
What if you were
living 2000 years ago
00:32:24.83\00:32:26.86
and you could go
on a walk with Jesus?
00:32:27.27\00:32:29.58
What if you were
living 2000 years ago
00:32:29.82\00:32:33.02
and Jesus put His arm around you
sitting on the shores of Galilee
00:32:33.05\00:32:37.68
and said, "I have
something to tell you."
00:32:37.71\00:32:39.45
Would that be thrilling
to actually have a personal
00:32:39.90\00:32:43.09
audience with Jesus, to
actually have Jesus talk to you?
00:32:43.12\00:32:46.75
But notice our
statement. What does it say?
00:32:47.10\00:32:49.54
"Their union with Him
through the Holy Spirit
00:32:49.89\00:32:52.96
was closer than when He
was with them personally."
00:32:53.38\00:32:57.69
Jesus has something amazing
that He wants to do through you.
00:32:58.18\00:33:03.44
Is it possible that in
the Christian life at times
00:33:04.40\00:33:07.83
we have less than
God wants to give to us?
00:33:08.42\00:33:11.75
I read a story some time ago
about a man who, all his life,
00:33:11.95\00:33:15.48
wanted to go on a cruise.
00:33:15.51\00:33:16.88
You know, one of
these luxury cruises.
00:33:16.91\00:33:18.28
He was a poor man,
didn't have much money.
00:33:18.31\00:33:20.37
And he said, "Before I
die, I want to go on a cruise."
00:33:20.40\00:33:23.23
So he saved for about 20
years from the time he was in
00:33:23.26\00:33:25.43
his 20's to his mid 40's.
00:33:25.46\00:33:26.93
And he chose the Mediterranean
cruise he wanted to go on.
00:33:26.96\00:33:30.30
Now he was only
worried about one thing.
00:33:30.85\00:33:32.45
He bought the cruise tickets
but he didn't have enough money,
00:33:32.75\00:33:37.39
he thought, to eat in
that great dining room.
00:33:37.42\00:33:41.82
And so he would walk into
those huge buffets on the cruise
00:33:42.06\00:33:45.57
and he would smell the food.
00:33:45.60\00:33:47.02
But he had brought a lot of
cheese and crackers with him.
00:33:47.46\00:33:50.54
So the first day, he
ate cheese and crackers.
00:33:50.57\00:33:52.64
The next day, he
ate crackers and cheese.
00:33:53.11\00:33:54.96
And the third day, just to vary
his diet, he ate only crackers.
00:33:55.32\00:33:58.21
By the fourth day, he looked
to see if he had any money left.
00:33:58.50\00:34:01.46
And he found that he had saved
a little money for souvenirs.
00:34:01.78\00:34:04.83
But the wafts and the
smells from that buffet
00:34:04.86\00:34:08.66
were so great that he
went down and said to them,
00:34:08.69\00:34:11.25
"How much would it cost if I ate
in the buffet just for today?"
00:34:11.28\00:34:16.01
And they said, "Could we
see your ticket, please."
00:34:16.04\00:34:17.41
They looked at it and
said, "Didn't you know
00:34:17.44\00:34:19.06
that when you
signed up for this cruise,
00:34:19.26\00:34:20.70
all the food was free?"
00:34:20.73\00:34:22.19
He was living on
cheese and crackers
00:34:23.84\00:34:26.83
when he could have been
feasting on the banquet hall.
00:34:27.33\00:34:30.21
Are you living on cheese and
crackers in your Christian life?
00:34:31.23\00:34:33.83
You feel
powerless, you feel defeated.
00:34:36.62\00:34:39.13
And you feel at times alone.
00:34:39.91\00:34:42.69
You need comfort,
you need strength,
00:34:43.07\00:34:45.42
you need hope,
and you need courage.
00:34:45.45\00:34:47.63
When you committed
your life to Christ,
00:34:48.12\00:34:50.12
Christ
committed His life to you.
00:34:50.56\00:34:52.60
When you made a
decision to follow Jesus,
00:34:53.22\00:34:55.30
He promised to give
you the Holy Spirit.
00:34:55.33\00:34:58.11
Not a few drops,
but in abundance.
00:34:58.81\00:35:01.84
I don't want to live
on cheese and cracker
00:35:02.33\00:35:05.03
in the Christian life...
00:35:05.06\00:35:06.43
...when I can feed on
the banquets of eternity.
00:35:07.68\00:35:12.28
I don't want a few drops of
rain and live a half-hearted
00:35:12.77\00:35:16.94
Laodicean
complacent Christian life
00:35:16.97\00:35:19.64
when through the grace
of Jesus I can be filled
00:35:20.05\00:35:23.52
by His Spirit.
00:35:23.84\00:35:26.55
Isn't that your desire as well?
00:35:26.58\00:35:28.49
I love the statement
in Review and Herald,
00:35:28.73\00:35:30.45
November 29, 1892.
00:35:30.48\00:35:33.05
So the work of the
Holy Spirit is what?
00:35:48.92\00:35:50.78
It's immeasurably great.
00:35:50.94\00:35:53.19
This is for you, this is for me.
00:35:53.63\00:35:56.33
These are promises that
Christ Himself has given to us.
00:35:56.36\00:36:00.23
Now what is the
work of the Holy Spirit?
00:36:00.26\00:36:01.73
We've seen that the Holy
Spirit is the third Person
00:36:01.76\00:36:04.31
of the Godhead.
00:36:04.34\00:36:05.71
We have seen also that the
Holy Spirit is not some force
00:36:05.74\00:36:08.11
or power, but it is the divine
presence of Christ in the soul.
00:36:08.15\00:36:12.10
We have noticed as well that
God wants to give the Spirit
00:36:12.30\00:36:14.93
in abundance.
00:36:14.96\00:36:16.33
He wants us to live an
abundant Christian life.
00:36:16.36\00:36:18.48
What is the work
of the Holy Spirit?
00:36:18.51\00:36:20.14
What does God
want to do in your life
00:36:20.17\00:36:22.10
through the work
of the Holy Spirit?
00:36:22.13\00:36:24.03
What promises are yours and mine
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
00:36:29.32\00:36:34.20
and the grace
of the Holy Spirit?
00:36:34.23\00:36:35.98
What promise
does He make to you?
00:36:41.04\00:36:42.63
Not for tomorrow,
not for next month,
00:36:42.66\00:36:44.79
not for next
year, but for tonight.
00:36:44.82\00:36:47.33
Look at this
text, John 14 verse 16.
00:36:50.48\00:36:53.55
Here we go,
let's read it together.
00:36:53.58\00:36:54.95
At home, the 3ABN
audience, let's read.
00:36:54.98\00:36:56.36
The local audience, let's read.
00:36:56.39\00:36:57.76
So the Holy Spirit is your what?
00:37:04.91\00:37:06.94
Is your what, everybody? Helper.
00:37:06.97\00:37:08.52
Now that word in the
Greek, the word is "paraclete."
00:37:08.55\00:37:11.69
Can you say that
word with me tonight?
00:37:11.98\00:37:13.84
Now what does the
word "paraclete" mean?
00:37:15.95\00:37:18.72
The word "clete" is a
word that comes from, "called."
00:37:19.16\00:37:23.91
And the word
"para" is, "alongside of."
00:37:24.11\00:37:26.50
So the word "paraclete"
is, "one that is called
00:37:26.70\00:37:30.43
alongside of us to help us."
00:37:30.46\00:37:33.69
So here's the Holy Spirit.
00:37:34.06\00:37:35.43
You're struggling with
sin, you're struggling with
00:37:35.46\00:37:37.57
some temptation.
00:37:37.60\00:37:38.97
The Holy Spirit is called
alongside to give you strength.
00:37:39.00\00:37:41.34
Here is somebody
that is sorrowful.
00:37:41.54\00:37:43.80
The Holy Spirit is called
alongside of you to give you
00:37:43.83\00:37:45.94
courage and hope.
00:37:45.97\00:37:47.44
Here's somebody
that feels lonely.
00:37:47.47\00:37:49.18
The Holy Spirit comes
to fill your heart with the
00:37:49.21\00:37:51.85
presence of Jesus to give you
that sense of love and intimacy.
00:37:51.88\00:37:55.07
So the Holy Spirit is the divine
third Person of the Godhead
00:37:55.10\00:37:59.15
who is called
alongside each one of us.
00:37:59.18\00:38:02.29
Now this is a
very interesting word.
00:38:02.49\00:38:04.71
In Leon Morris' commentary
in The Gospel According to John,
00:38:05.27\00:38:08.34
page 665, Leon
Morris makes this very,
00:38:08.37\00:38:12.51
very penetrating statement.
00:38:12.54\00:38:14.44
He says...
00:38:14.47\00:38:15.84
In the days of ancient
Rome, when a person was tried,
00:38:23.93\00:38:26.78
they all would be
appointed a paraclete;
00:38:26.81\00:38:30.42
one who would come.
00:38:30.62\00:38:31.99
The paraclete would
provide them food in prison.
00:38:32.02\00:38:34.43
The paraclete would provide
them a robe if they were cold.
00:38:34.46\00:38:36.99
He would provide
them a wash basin.
00:38:37.02\00:38:38.68
The paraclete would be one that
was appointed by the Roman court
00:38:38.71\00:38:43.65
to meet the
needs of the prisoner.
00:38:43.86\00:38:46.40
So Jesus borrows that
very word and He says,
00:38:46.43\00:38:49.09
"I'm going to go away, but I'm
going to send the Holy Spirit.
00:38:49.12\00:38:52.12
And He is going to
be by your side to meet
00:38:52.38\00:38:56.43
your deepest needs."
00:38:56.46\00:38:58.23
You and I are never alone.
00:38:58.27\00:39:01.44
The gift of the Holy Spirit is
there to meet our deepest needs.
00:39:01.67\00:39:05.52
Lying on a hospital bed with few
weeks to live, being diagnosed
00:39:05.55\00:39:11.37
with cancer, the Holy Spirit
is there to strengthen you.
00:39:11.40\00:39:14.15
Going through some
natural disaster and tragedy,
00:39:14.18\00:39:17.24
the Holy Spirit is there.
00:39:17.27\00:39:19.00
The Holy Spirit is
there throughout our life.
00:39:19.03\00:39:21.93
In our times of joy,
in our times of happiness,
00:39:21.96\00:39:25.05
in our times of jubilation,
we're on the mountain peak,
00:39:25.08\00:39:28.31
the Holy Spirit is there to
say, "Hallelujah, praise God.
00:39:28.34\00:39:31.21
Look what has
happened in your life."
00:39:31.24\00:39:32.61
In the times when we
walk through the valley
00:39:32.85\00:39:34.29
of the shadow of death,
the Holy Spirit is there
00:39:34.32\00:39:36.46
to give us hope,
to give us confidence,
00:39:36.49\00:39:38.20
to give us courage.
00:39:38.23\00:39:39.60
I thank God that we are
not alone in this world.
00:39:39.63\00:39:43.09
That the Holy Spirit
works with us and beside us.
00:39:43.30\00:39:45.97
Now the Bible says, "And
I'll pray," John 14 verse 16,
00:39:46.00\00:39:49.52
"the Father and He'll
give you another Comforter,
00:39:49.55\00:39:51.75
that He may abide
with you forever."
00:39:51.78\00:39:53.23
The word "comforter" is
an interesting word as well.
00:39:53.26\00:39:55.90
If you look at
this word "comforter,"
00:39:56.38\00:39:58.68
what a fascinating word.
00:39:58.71\00:40:01.27
For example, in Latin...
00:40:01.56\00:40:03.52
So if you take the
Latin derivation, Jesus said,
00:40:12.56\00:40:16.16
"I've come to
give you a Comforter."
00:40:16.19\00:40:18.68
In Latin, "comforter" means,
someone who'll strengthen you.
00:40:18.71\00:40:22.30
In every step we take
in the Christian life,
00:40:22.76\00:40:26.17
the Holy Spirit dwelling
within us, the personal presence
00:40:26.68\00:40:30.93
of Christ is
there to strengthen us.
00:40:30.96\00:40:34.52
Jesus has never lost
a battle with Satan yet.
00:40:35.26\00:40:40.68
Not one. Not one.
00:40:41.15\00:40:43.42
There never has been a time that
Jesus has fought against Satan
00:40:43.71\00:40:48.87
and Satan has won
and Jesus has lost.
00:40:48.90\00:40:52.13
Right?
00:40:52.16\00:40:53.53
As you and I open
our hearts to Jesus,
00:40:55.40\00:40:57.62
as the Holy Spirit
lives in our hearts,
00:40:58.10\00:41:00.45
the Paraclete
comes alongside of us
00:41:01.31\00:41:03.91
to supply every
one of our needs.
00:41:03.94\00:41:06.09
The great Comforter
comes to strengthen us.
00:41:06.12\00:41:09.59
Are you struggling
with something tonight?
00:41:09.62\00:41:11.52
Some attitude, some habit?
00:41:12.48\00:41:15.14
Something that you
cannot seem to overcome?
00:41:15.76\00:41:21.57
Open your heart
to the Holy Spirit.
00:41:22.00\00:41:25.00
The Holy Spirit will
enter into your life.
00:41:25.52\00:41:28.64
The Comforter will
come and strengthen you
00:41:29.05\00:41:33.09
through divine
supernatural power.
00:41:33.12\00:41:36.26
What we are powerless to
do, the all powerful God can do.
00:41:36.29\00:41:42.00
We are weak, but He is strong.
00:41:42.40\00:41:44.55
We are frail,
but He is almighty.
00:41:44.58\00:41:46.80
We are not invincible,
but He is invincible.
00:41:46.83\00:41:54.48
We come and He
strengthens and encourages us.
00:41:55.19\00:41:58.86
Look, Christ's Object Lessons,
page 96, read it with me please.
00:41:59.14\00:42:03.32
What a hopeful sentence.
00:42:03.35\00:42:04.77
"None are so vile,
none have fallen so low..."
00:42:04.80\00:42:10.83
"None are so vile,
none have fallen so low,"
00:42:31.16\00:42:34.40
that without the Holy
Spirit cannot be transformed.
00:42:34.43\00:42:38.21
Whoever you are,
wherever you are,
00:42:38.53\00:42:42.11
the Spirit is for you.
00:42:42.14\00:42:44.21
To change you, to
make you over again,
00:42:44.24\00:42:46.93
to transform your life.
00:42:46.96\00:42:48.42
Who is the Holy Spirit?
00:42:48.45\00:42:49.90
What does the Holy
Spirit do in our life?
00:42:49.93\00:42:51.66
The Holy Spirit comforts,
the Holy Spirit strengthens,
00:42:51.69\00:42:55.12
the Holy Spirit meets our needs.
00:42:55.15\00:42:56.93
Also, the Holy Spirit
is our personal Teacher.
00:42:56.96\00:42:59.39
As we open God's Word, the
Bible calls the Holy Spirit...
00:42:59.87\00:43:02.80
What? The Spirit of truth.
00:43:02.83\00:43:05.35
So the Holy Spirit
is the Spirit of truth.
00:43:05.55\00:43:07.79
I thank God that when
you and I open the Bible
00:43:08.02\00:43:11.90
and turn the pages of the
Bible, we are not left alone
00:43:12.53\00:43:17.03
to figure out complex
meanings of Scripture.
00:43:17.06\00:43:20.33
But when you come to the
Bible with a sincere heart,
00:43:20.66\00:43:23.92
understanding God's Word is
as much a matter of the heart
00:43:23.95\00:43:29.53
as it is of the mind.
00:43:29.56\00:43:31.13
You can approach the
Bible thinking that you will
00:43:32.55\00:43:38.04
know everything about
it, and you can approach it
00:43:38.07\00:43:41.32
arrogantly, and be
baffled by what you read.
00:43:41.35\00:43:45.01
Didn't Jesus say to
the scribes and Pharisees
00:43:45.04\00:43:47.77
who spent all their
lives studying God's Word,
00:43:47.80\00:43:50.18
didn't He say, "The
truth is hidden from the wise
00:43:50.21\00:43:53.48
and the prudent, but
revealed unto..." What?
00:43:53.51\00:43:56.02
"...babes."
00:43:56.05\00:43:57.42
And you remember what
Jesus said in John 7 verse 17
00:43:57.45\00:43:59.78
when He put it
this way, when He said,
00:43:59.81\00:44:01.82
"If any man will do my
will," John 7 verse 17,
00:44:04.00\00:44:09.48
"If any man will do my will,
he shall know of the doctrine."
00:44:09.51\00:44:14.22
How do we know truth?
00:44:14.73\00:44:16.11
By having a willingness to do
whatever Jesus wants us to do.
00:44:16.49\00:44:20.97
When you approach the
Bible with an open spirit.
00:44:21.31\00:44:24.87
And every day as I open
God's Word in the morning
00:44:24.90\00:44:27.41
and in the evening, I
say, "Jesus, teach me.
00:44:27.44\00:44:29.53
Jesus, You be my teacher.
00:44:29.56\00:44:31.42
Jesus, come with Your
Holy Spirit to teach me."
00:44:31.45\00:44:36.00
Opening God's Word,
I say, "Lord, I cannot
00:44:36.03\00:44:39.90
understand this
Book, I can't understand
00:44:39.93\00:44:42.61
Your plan for my life,
unless You become my teacher.
00:44:42.64\00:44:46.21
Lord, You teach me.
00:44:46.24\00:44:48.02
Lord, You instruct
me with Your Word."
00:44:48.05\00:44:50.24
Steps To Christ, page
114, says, "We can obtain
00:44:50.27\00:44:54.15
to an understanding
of God's Word only..."
00:44:54.18\00:44:56.50
What does the word "only" mean?
00:44:56.53\00:44:57.90
No other way.
00:44:57.93\00:44:59.30
"...through the illumination
of the Spirit by which
00:44:59.33\00:45:00.99
the Word was given."
00:45:01.02\00:45:02.39
If you are a truth
seeker tonight, and you've
00:45:02.42\00:45:05.55
turned on Three
Angel's Broadcasting,
00:45:05.58\00:45:08.02
open God's Word
with a sincere spirit.
00:45:08.05\00:45:11.11
Whatever your belief
system has been before,
00:45:11.14\00:45:14.49
say, "Jesus, I need
Your Spirit to teach me.
00:45:14.52\00:45:17.89
Lord, my heart is open.
00:45:17.92\00:45:19.41
And Lord, if You
teach me by Your Word,
00:45:19.44\00:45:22.06
whatever You ask me
to do, I will do that."
00:45:22.09\00:45:26.16
I've conducted evangelistic
meetings around the world
00:45:37.79\00:45:40.88
for 45 years now.
00:45:40.91\00:45:42.28
I've stood on the great
platforms of the world in
00:45:42.31\00:45:45.21
inter America, South America,
Europe, Asia, the former
00:45:45.24\00:45:49.39
Soviet Union, Africa.
00:45:49.42\00:45:52.15
We've seen thousands
come to our meetings.
00:45:52.18\00:45:54.25
And here is what
I have discovered.
00:45:54.28\00:45:56.78
If you have a longing for truth,
God's going to reveal it to you.
00:45:57.32\00:46:01.18
But if you come to the
Bible with a spirit of debate,
00:46:01.58\00:46:04.54
if you come to the Bible with
a spirit to prove yourself right
00:46:04.57\00:46:08.06
and everybody else wrong...
00:46:08.09\00:46:09.85
I have seen even Christians...
00:46:10.42\00:46:12.34
Dare I say the next thing?
00:46:13.50\00:46:15.44
Dare I not say the next thing?
00:46:16.43\00:46:18.57
I have even seen some
Seventh-day Adventists
00:46:18.93\00:46:21.76
that have approached
the Bible with a spirit of,
00:46:22.54\00:46:25.70
"I know it and nobody else does.
00:46:25.73\00:46:27.75
And I've got this
light that I want to prove
00:46:27.78\00:46:29.35
everybody else wrong."
00:46:29.38\00:46:30.75
I will say to you
tonight, very openly,
00:46:31.02\00:46:34.53
every one of us,
this man included,
00:46:35.28\00:46:38.60
must come to the
Bible with an open spirit
00:46:39.03\00:46:42.77
and an open heart, and
the willingness to be taught
00:46:42.80\00:46:45.95
by the Holy Spirit.
00:46:45.98\00:46:47.35
And if we are, God
promises to be our Teacher.
00:46:47.47\00:46:52.57
I love the way Psalms puts it.
00:46:52.95\00:46:54.47
Psalm 119 verse 107.
00:46:54.50\00:46:56.41
Read it together with
me from the screen again.
00:46:56.44\00:46:58.36
Now don't miss
this, don't miss this.
00:47:05.49\00:47:07.81
Any so called revival that
is focusing on emotionalism
00:47:08.30\00:47:13.46
and sentimentalism is
not the genuine revival that
00:47:13.85\00:47:19.98
Christ is going to send
through His Holy Spirit.
00:47:20.01\00:47:22.48
What did David pray?
00:47:22.89\00:47:24.26
"Revive me, O God,
through Your..." What?
00:47:24.29\00:47:27.59
"...Word."
00:47:27.62\00:47:28.99
And if you have a worship
service that is largely filled
00:47:29.02\00:47:32.10
with high powered,
high generating music
00:47:32.89\00:47:35.68
that ramps people up
to some emotional hype,
00:47:35.71\00:47:39.70
and they spend three and a half
minutes, four or five minutes,
00:47:39.99\00:47:42.61
with some ditty
from the Word of God,
00:47:42.64\00:47:44.39
I say to you tonight that
it is not the genuine revival,
00:47:45.15\00:47:49.06
that it does not
come from heaven.
00:47:49.09\00:47:51.04
All genuine revival
leads us back to God's Word.
00:47:51.34\00:47:55.42
All genuine revival
leads us back to God's truth.
00:47:55.45\00:47:58.56
All genuine revival
leads us humbly to our knees,
00:47:58.59\00:48:02.60
that says, "Oh Jesus,
teach us from Your Word."
00:48:02.63\00:48:07.85
I pray this prayer...
00:48:10.10\00:48:11.94
We do not look to a man sitting
in Rome by the Tiber River
00:48:44.44\00:48:50.87
as the Vicar of Christ.
00:48:51.41\00:48:52.87
We look to the
throne room of God.
00:48:53.27\00:48:57.64
We look to the
sanctuary in heaven.
00:48:57.97\00:49:00.46
And we open our hearts to
receive the outpouring of the
00:49:00.82\00:49:04.83
Holy Spirit, first
to change our lives,
00:49:04.86\00:49:08.97
and second to reveal
the truth He wants for us.
00:49:09.00\00:49:12.46
I've seen God do
that all over the world.
00:49:12.95\00:49:14.88
One night, I was
preaching in Moscow.
00:49:15.58\00:49:18.34
Preaching in the
Kremlin auditorium.
00:49:19.09\00:49:21.74
You know, Nikita Khrushchev
once made this statement.
00:49:22.77\00:49:26.54
In fact, he was
speaking in Kiev in Ukraine.
00:49:26.57\00:49:29.28
I preached in that
auditorium as well.
00:49:29.31\00:49:31.28
And Nikita Khrushchev,
he gave a lengthy speech
00:49:31.83\00:49:36.12
about dialectic materialism.
00:49:36.15\00:49:38.94
He talked about humanism.
00:49:38.97\00:49:40.42
This was given in the
1950's, the early 1950's.
00:49:40.92\00:49:43.15
And Khrushchev said, "Humanism
will triumph over the world.
00:49:43.18\00:49:47.81
Christianity
will be stamped out."
00:49:48.11\00:49:50.28
And then he said, "In 25 years,
there will not be one Christian
00:49:50.31\00:49:55.49
in the former Soviet Union."
00:49:55.52\00:49:57.10
Then he laughed and he
said, "Oh, there'll be one.
00:49:57.67\00:50:00.39
And when he dies, we'll stuff
him, take him up to Moscow,
00:50:00.73\00:50:04.88
and put him in a
museum so future generations
00:50:04.91\00:50:07.99
can know what a
Christian looked like."
00:50:08.02\00:50:10.09
I walked into that
same former KGB prison,
00:50:11.97\00:50:16.22
which is now a cultural
center built over the prison
00:50:16.25\00:50:19.30
in Ukraine, stepped
on those same boards
00:50:19.33\00:50:22.54
where Khrushchev
made that statement,
00:50:22.57\00:50:25.07
and preached to
thousands and thousands
00:50:25.36\00:50:28.21
in the former Soviet Union.
00:50:28.24\00:50:29.73
And you know what
I thought to myself?
00:50:29.76\00:50:31.65
What would
Khrushchev have thought
00:50:31.68\00:50:33.46
if he knew that the
Word of God had been preached
00:50:33.49\00:50:36.28
in the Kremlin
auditorium where you have the
00:50:36.31\00:50:38.70
palace of Communism.
00:50:38.73\00:50:40.46
If I didn't believe
in the state of the dead,
00:50:40.67\00:50:42.45
that the dead know not anything,
I'd think Khrushchev was
00:50:42.48\00:50:44.45
turning in his grave.
00:50:44.48\00:50:45.85
But I know that's not true.
00:50:46.30\00:50:47.67
He's going to have
to wait until Jesus
00:50:47.99\00:50:49.86
when he see
something in the panorama skies
00:50:50.60\00:50:52.86
and he's going to be
amazed, in the final judgment.
00:50:52.89\00:50:55.86
I was preaching in the Kremlin.
00:50:56.69\00:50:58.07
Two sessions a night,
6500 people every session.
00:50:58.48\00:51:01.85
Between the first and
second session, I went into my
00:51:02.15\00:51:05.08
little room to get a
little Russian Borscht,
00:51:05.11\00:51:08.34
to get some energy
for the second session.
00:51:08.37\00:51:10.55
I was younger in those
days and needed energy.
00:51:10.58\00:51:12.56
Now I'm old and don't need any.
00:51:12.59\00:51:14.18
So you know, I was
eating my Borscht and
00:51:15.64\00:51:18.11
a man burst into the room.
00:51:18.40\00:51:20.44
Beard, scruffy beard, a
guy late 20's or early 30's,
00:51:20.78\00:51:23.60
scar down the side of his face.
00:51:23.63\00:51:25.21
And I thought,
"Wow, who is this guy?"
00:51:26.16\00:51:27.91
He was ranting in Russian.
00:51:27.94\00:51:29.66
You know, when somebody
is saying something in a
00:51:29.69\00:51:31.11
foreign language, you always
wonder what are they saying.
00:51:31.14\00:51:35.08
You know, I
don't understand this.
00:51:35.11\00:51:36.48
I thought the guy was
going to attack me; who is he.
00:51:36.51\00:51:37.88
And he had his hands going.
00:51:38.05\00:51:39.42
My translator stood
up quickly between us.
00:51:40.04\00:51:42.36
I was thankful for that.
00:51:42.88\00:51:44.25
And you know, the guy said...
00:51:44.69\00:51:47.11
My translator started
translating and he said
00:51:47.42\00:51:48.79
to the man, "Slow down.
00:51:48.82\00:51:50.19
I've got to
translate for Pastor Finley."
00:51:50.22\00:51:51.59
The man said, "I was
sitting in the audience tonight.
00:51:51.62\00:51:52.99
Something happened in my heart.
00:51:53.02\00:51:54.44
I cannot explain it.
00:51:54.78\00:51:56.76
But there was
this strange feeling.
00:51:57.67\00:51:59.61
I need to know
Jesus. I need to know Jesus.
00:51:59.71\00:52:02.33
I can't leave this
place without knowing Jesus."
00:52:02.36\00:52:04.28
Who was doing that
in this man's life?
00:52:04.31\00:52:06.09
In the Kremlin auditorium
where Communism was exalted,
00:52:06.33\00:52:11.12
where atheism was propagated,
where it was said that there was
00:52:11.15\00:52:16.01
no God, here now is a
young criminal who had been
00:52:16.04\00:52:19.31
in and out of court 28
times, who was known as the
00:52:19.34\00:52:22.27
thief of Moscow, but the Spirit
of God worked in his life.
00:52:22.30\00:52:26.08
He opened His heart to Jesus.
00:52:26.63\00:52:28.30
We talked about Jesus.
00:52:29.27\00:52:30.74
We talked about
the grace of God.
00:52:31.26\00:52:33.09
We talked about the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:52:33.46\00:52:35.60
We talked about how the
fact that Jesus could come
00:52:36.04\00:52:38.03
and change your life
through His Holy Spirit.
00:52:38.06\00:52:39.75
And that man knelt
that very day on that floor,
00:52:39.78\00:52:42.33
cried his eyes out.
00:52:42.36\00:52:43.73
He gave his heart to Jesus.
00:52:43.85\00:52:45.22
A year later, I
came back to Moscow.
00:52:45.25\00:52:46.91
There was a choir
singing and my host said,
00:52:47.20\00:52:49.53
"Pastor Mark, you're
going to love this choir.
00:52:49.56\00:52:51.39
They all were baptized in your
last evangelistic series here."
00:52:51.42\00:52:54.50
I sat there looking at
the choir and there was this
00:52:55.05\00:52:56.69
one guy that was
just singing, beaming.
00:52:56.72\00:52:58.33
I said, "Who's that guy?"
00:52:58.36\00:52:59.73
"You don't know him?
00:52:59.76\00:53:01.13
He's the guy that
broke into your study.
00:53:01.16\00:53:03.43
He was the thief
of Moscow transformed
00:53:03.73\00:53:06.01
by the grace of God."
00:53:06.04\00:53:07.41
What He's done for
others, He can do for you.
00:53:08.01\00:53:10.66
You may be an
Adventist Christian,
00:53:11.72\00:53:13.50
you may be a Christian
of a various denomination.
00:53:13.96\00:53:16.38
But God has more for
you through His Holy Spirit.
00:53:17.03\00:53:20.30
You may not be a Christian
at all, but Jesus is speaking
00:53:20.57\00:53:23.08
to you through His Holy Spirit.
00:53:23.11\00:53:25.22
You know, a number of years
ago, there was an Arab that was
00:53:25.49\00:53:31.17
called, the
birdman of the desert.
00:53:31.20\00:53:34.22
The birdman of the desert.
00:53:34.51\00:53:36.36
This man could get home from
any place in the Sahara Desert.
00:53:36.86\00:53:43.20
I mean, this guy could be
miles, and all you could see was
00:53:43.86\00:53:47.75
desert sand, desert sand,
desert sand; he could get home.
00:53:47.78\00:53:51.18
Never lost his way.
00:53:52.24\00:53:53.82
And they said,
"How do you know?"
00:53:54.54\00:53:57.63
And one day, he took his
robe and flapped it open.
00:53:58.04\00:54:01.79
And as he did, he
came and showed them
00:54:02.19\00:54:07.73
in his hand a pigeon.
00:54:07.76\00:54:09.63
And this pigeon was
tied to a long string.
00:54:11.13\00:54:14.22
And he said, "This
is a homing pigeon.
00:54:14.83\00:54:16.49
Wherever I am in the
desert, I throw him up.
00:54:17.20\00:54:19.52
And as I throw him up into
the sky with this long string,
00:54:19.94\00:54:23.25
he begins to fly toward home.
00:54:23.28\00:54:25.20
And I just follow.
00:54:25.23\00:54:26.60
I just follow
him and I get home."
00:54:26.63\00:54:29.05
The divine heavenly
Dove will lead you home.
00:54:31.85\00:54:37.01
Listen to the convictions of
the Holy Spirit on your heart.
00:54:37.90\00:54:42.58
Develop a
sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
00:54:43.92\00:54:46.90
When the Holy Spirit
convicts you to do something,
00:54:47.65\00:54:50.42
don't say, "Oh,
that's not important."
00:54:50.89\00:54:52.41
Don't deny that inner
voice of the Holy Spirit.
00:54:52.99\00:54:56.42
Day by day, open
your heart to the Spirit.
00:54:57.05\00:54:59.62
Ask Jesus to fill
you with His Spirit.
00:55:00.23\00:55:02.65
And Him to convict you of any
sin that might be in your life.
00:55:03.77\00:55:07.91
Ask Him to teach
you and to instruct you.
00:55:08.83\00:55:12.10
I love the way
that old song puts it.
00:55:12.40\00:55:14.45
Holy Spirit, Light divine;
00:55:15.01\00:55:18.97
shine upon this heart of mine.
00:55:19.54\00:55:24.52
Chase the shades of night away,
00:55:24.78\00:55:27.51
and turn my darkness into day.
00:55:27.87\00:55:31.51
Is that your prayer?
00:55:31.54\00:55:32.91
Oh Holy Spirit, shine
upon this heart of mine.
00:55:32.94\00:55:37.24
Chase the shades of night away,
00:55:38.29\00:55:40.37
and turn my night into day.
00:55:41.24\00:55:43.21
Would you like to open your
heart to the Holy Spirit now?
00:55:43.41\00:55:45.56
God's going to touch somebody
right now in this audience.
00:55:46.00\00:55:48.21
God's going to touch
somebody watching on 3ABN.
00:55:48.24\00:55:51.32
Would you like to open
your heart to the Holy Spirit?
00:55:52.07\00:55:54.10
Would you like to say,
"Jesus, convict me of anything
00:55:54.73\00:55:57.55
in my life that's not
in harmony with Your will
00:55:57.58\00:56:00.94
through Your Holy Spirit."
00:56:00.97\00:56:02.34
Would you like to say, "Jesus,
fill me with Your Holy Spirit.
00:56:03.01\00:56:07.30
Lord, I'm struggling
with some temptation.
00:56:07.80\00:56:09.50
Empower me by Your Holy Spirit."
00:56:09.53\00:56:11.40
Maybe you're right on the verge
of making a decision for truth.
00:56:12.48\00:56:15.44
Maybe you've been watching 3ABN.
00:56:15.67\00:56:17.50
And as you've watched it,
you've heard these programs
00:56:18.08\00:56:20.45
and you're convicted.
00:56:21.01\00:56:22.44
But right now, you want to
say, "Jesus, teach me Your truth
00:56:22.65\00:56:26.54
through the Spirit
and empower me to take
00:56:26.57\00:56:28.88
the next step in my life.
00:56:28.91\00:56:31.06
Strengthen me."
00:56:31.09\00:56:32.64
Would you like to say tonight,
"Jesus, my heart is totally
00:56:32.91\00:56:36.83
open to the Spirit."
00:56:36.86\00:56:38.31
Maybe you're a Christian.
00:56:38.50\00:56:39.87
Maybe you're a
Seventh-day Adventist Christian.
00:56:39.95\00:56:41.96
But you want a
fuller, more intimate,
00:56:42.23\00:56:45.45
closer experience with Jesus
than you've ever had before.
00:56:45.48\00:56:49.87
Would you like to say,
"Jesus, abide in my heart
00:56:50.30\00:56:53.22
through Your Holy Spirit."
00:56:53.25\00:56:54.62
Why not do that as we pray.
00:56:54.65\00:56:56.23
Dear Father in heaven,
thank You for the Holy Spirit.
00:56:56.26\00:57:01.90
Thank You for the divine
third Person of the Godhead
00:57:02.11\00:57:04.98
that gives us comfort and
hope, that strengthens us,
00:57:06.18\00:57:09.92
that encourages
us, that empowers us,
00:57:09.95\00:57:13.14
that teaches us.
00:57:13.17\00:57:14.54
Oh, fill us with Your Spirit.
00:57:14.57\00:57:17.20
In the name of
Jesus, we believe it.
00:57:17.83\00:57:21.13
Our Savior and Lord, amen.
00:57:21.65\00:57:24.49
God bless you tonight as you go.
00:57:26.72\00:57:29.81
Go with the sense of the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.
00:57:30.01\00:57:33.40
