00:07:11.73\00:07:13.09
DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN, AGAIN,
WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO
00:07:13.09\00:07:15.43
GATHER TOGETHER TO STUDY YOUR
WORD AND, ONCE AGAIN, AS WE TALK
00:07:15.43\00:07:18.00
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE ASK
THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD COME
00:07:18.00\00:07:20.87
GUIDE OUR HEARTS AND OUR MINDS
AS WE STUDY ABOUT BEING FILLED
00:07:20.87\00:07:24.21
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE
WORK THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES
00:07:24.21\00:07:26.57
IN US. BLESS OUR TIME
TOGETHER, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
00:07:26.57\00:07:31.01
OUR LESSON THIS MORNING IS GOING
TO BE BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR
00:07:31.01\00:07:33.28
ROSS - SORRY, I AM PASTOR
ROSS (LAUGHTER) IT'S GOING TO BE
00:07:33.28\00:07:36.05
BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR
BATCHELOR, EXCUSE ME. (LAUGHTER)
00:07:36.05\00:07:39.22
>>NO, DON'T - COME HERE
- COME BACK HERE, PASTOR
00:07:39.22\00:07:40.52
BATCHELOR (LAUGHTER).
WHERE WERE YOU YESTERDAY?
00:07:40.52\00:07:45.09
>>I WAS IN INDIA SO I'M A LITTLE
JET-LAGGED THIS MORNING, BUT
00:07:45.09\00:07:47.96
WE'RE GETTING
THERE. >>GIVE US A MISSION
00:07:47.96\00:07:50.07
REPORT (LAUGHTER).
>>YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING GOOD
00:07:50.07\00:07:53.17
THINGS IN INDIA
AND THAT'S EXCITING.
00:07:53.17\00:07:54.64
I WAS OVER THERE - AFCOE'S GOT
A TRAINING PROGRAM AND THEY'RE
00:07:54.64\00:07:57.91
TRANSLATING MEDIA, AND
WE'RE PUTTING SOME STUFF UP AND
00:07:57.91\00:08:00.21
LOOKING AT SOME LAND FOR
A TRAINING SCHOOL, SO A LOT
00:08:00.21\00:08:03.41
HAPPENING THERE. >>SO,
WE'RE TRAINING LAY-PASTORS
00:08:03.41\00:08:06.48
- >>PRINCIPALLY WE'RE TRAINING
BIBLE WORKERS THAT ARE ALREADY
00:08:06.48\00:08:09.42
OUT WORKING IN
VILLAGES WITH CHURCHES.
00:08:09.42\00:08:11.59
SO THEY COME FOR SOME ADDITIONAL
TRAINING, RESOURCES, AND ALSO
00:08:11.59\00:08:15.09
PRINTING BOOKS AND PREPARING
THINGS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
00:08:15.09\00:08:18.23
>>YEAH.
>>THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING.
00:08:18.23\00:08:19.59
>>THAT'S EXCITING. NOW,
WHAT'S THE TIME DIFFERENCE
00:08:19.59\00:08:20.96
BETWEEN - WHERE
IN INDIA WERE YOU?
00:08:20.96\00:08:22.76
>>I WAS IN MUMBAI, WHICH IS
CENTRAL WESTERN PART OF INDIA.
00:08:22.76\00:08:28.27
>>WHAT, ABOUT A
10-HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE?
00:08:28.27\00:08:29.57
>>I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
TIME DIFFERENCE IS. I THINK
00:08:29.57\00:08:30.67
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING
RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M AWAKE.
00:08:30.67\00:08:33.07
>>THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, AND WE UNDERSTAND.
00:08:33.07\00:08:35.04
I THOUGHT WE'D SQUEEZE IN A
LITTLE MISSION REPORT THERE.
00:08:35.04\00:08:37.15
IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF INTERESTING,
EXOTIC WHEN YOU GO TO THE OTHER
00:08:37.15\00:08:39.51
SIDE OF THE WORLD.
AND THAT'S WHY HE CONFUSED
00:08:39.51\00:08:43.18
ME FOR PASTOR ROSS.
(LAUGHTER) SORRY, I COULD ASSUME
00:08:43.18\00:08:49.32
- GET A REAL KICK OUT
OF THAT. WELCOME, FRIENDS.
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.09
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE JOINING
US HERE FOR SABBATH SCHOOL.
00:08:52.09\00:08:54.36
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR REGULAR
ONLINE MEMBERS THAT ARE OUT
00:08:54.36\00:08:58.57
THERE. WE'VE GOT
SOME MEMBERS OF THE
00:08:58.57\00:09:00.04
GRANITE BAY CHURCH
SCATTERED AROUND THE WORLD.
00:09:00.04\00:09:01.97
NOW, YOU'LL NOTICE THE
BACKGROUND IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
00:09:01.97\00:09:04.67
AND THAT'S BECAUSE, HERE AT THE
GRANITE BAY CHURCH, WE ARE JUST
00:09:04.67\00:09:08.01
BEGINNING A SERIES THAT WILL
LAST MANY WEEKS, DEALING WITH
00:09:08.01\00:09:12.35
THE LIFE OF DAVID.
AND SO, YOU'LL SEE THE
00:09:12.35\00:09:15.25
BACKGROUND CHANGE, SOMETIMES
WE'LL HAVE SOME DIFFERENT PROPS
00:09:15.25\00:09:17.15
RELATED TO THE LIFE OF DAVID,
AND SO PEOPLE THAT TURN THE
00:09:17.15\00:09:22.49
BROADCAST - OH THERE IT IS -
IT'S CALLED THE SHEPHERD KING .
00:09:22.49\00:09:24.99
YOU CAN TUNE INTO THAT - PEOPLE
THAT TURN ON NOW HALFWAY THROUGH
00:09:24.99\00:09:27.66
SABBATH SCHOOL ARE GOING TO
WONDER, 'NOW, WHAT'S GOING ON IN
00:09:27.66\00:09:29.16
THE BACKGROUND?' BUT -
AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU,
00:09:29.16\00:09:32.07
AGAIN, THERE IS A BOOK GOING
ALONG WITH OUR STUDY TODAY,
00:09:32.07\00:09:35.30
CALLED UNDERSTANDING TONGUES
. THE REASON IS, OUR STUDY TODAY
00:09:35.30\00:09:39.44
IS DEALING WITH THE BAPTISM
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THERE'S A
00:09:39.44\00:09:43.14
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT EQUATE
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:09:43.14\00:09:46.48
WITH SPEAKING IN
TONGUES. AND I'LL TALK A
00:09:46.48\00:09:48.35
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. IF
YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THIS,
00:09:48.35\00:09:50.65
IT'S OFFER #145 - AND
CALL 866-788-3966 - THAT'S
00:09:50.65\00:09:56.99
866-STUDY-MORE - AND
WE'LL SEND THIS TO YOU FOR FREE.
00:09:56.99\00:09:59.73
PLEASE READ IT AND
SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.
00:09:59.73\00:10:03.06
OUR LESSON IS #5 TODAY, AS
I MENTIONED, DEALING WITH THE
00:10:03.06\00:10:06.33
BAPTISM AND
FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:10:06.33\00:10:09.24
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE, AND
THE MEMORY VERSE IS FROM JOHN
00:10:09.24\00:10:13.14
10:10 AND YOU CAN
READ IT OUT OF YOUR LESSON.
00:10:13.14\00:10:15.64
THEY'VE GOT IT HERE
FROM THE NIV AND - YOU READY?
00:10:15.64\00:10:19.41
JOHN 10:10, "THE THIEF
COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND
00:10:19.41\00:10:24.99
DESTROY; I HAVE COME THAT THEY
MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT TO
00:10:24.99\00:10:29.62
THE FULL." NOW, WE
ALL KNOW THAT AS 'THEY
00:10:29.62\00:10:32.23
MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE
IT' - >>MORE ABUNDANTLY.
00:10:32.23\00:10:34.10
>>MORE ABUNDANTLY. >>YEAH.
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.43
>>AND THE LORD CAME TO
GIVE US THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:10:35.43\00:10:39.27
AND THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN
THE BAPTISM AND THE FILLING OF
00:10:39.27\00:10:43.04
THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.97
NOW, MAYBE I SHOULD BEGIN BY
DIRECTING YOUR ATTENTION TO A
00:10:45.97\00:10:50.45
VERSE, I THINK MOST
OF US KNOW, IN JOHN 3:5.
00:10:50.45\00:10:53.95
IN JOHN 3:5 JESUS IS TALKING
- IN CHAPTER 3, WHO'S HE TALKING
00:10:53.95\00:10:58.72
TO? JOHN 3:16,
WHO'S JESUS TALKING TO?
00:10:58.72\00:11:02.89
>>NICODEMUS.
>>NICODEMUS, SO JOHN 3:5, HE'S
00:11:02.89\00:11:05.06
STILL TALKING TO
NICODEMUS. AND HE SAYS HERE,
00:11:05.06\00:11:08.63
'MOSST ASSUREDLY I
SAY TO YOU, UNLESS ONE
00:11:08.63\00:11:11.47
IS BORN OF THE WATER AND OF THE
SPIRIT, HE IS GOING TO HAVE A
00:11:11.47\00:11:15.87
HARDER TIME ENTERING THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN.' 'HE MAY FIND IT A
00:11:15.87\00:11:20.34
LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'
00:11:20.34\00:11:24.81
IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
"UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF THE WATER
00:11:24.81\00:11:28.38
AND THE SPIRIT," - SPIRIT BIRTH
- "HE CANNOT" - SO BEING BORN OF
00:11:28.38\00:11:34.39
THE SPIRIT, IS THAT OPTIONAL FOR
THOSE WHO ARE BOUND FOR HEAVEN?
00:11:34.39\00:11:39.63
OR IS IT AN ABSOLUTE
NECESSITY? >>NECESSITY.
00:11:39.63\00:11:42.56
>>ACCORDING TO JESUS, WE
MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT.
00:11:42.56\00:11:45.80
NOW, IN A LOT OF PROTESTANT
CHURCHES - OUR CHURCH IS SIMILAR
00:11:45.80\00:11:49.44
- WE MEASURE A PERSON'S
CONVERSION BY THE DAY OF THEIR
00:11:49.44\00:11:52.37
BAPTISM. WHICH BAPTISM, WATER
00:11:52.37\00:11:54.51
BAPTISM OR SPIRIT
BAPTISM? >>SPIRIT.
00:11:54.51\00:11:56.61
>>WE TYPICALLY THINK,
'WHEN WERE YOU BAPTIZED?'
00:11:56.61\00:11:58.95
AND WE SAY, 'THAT MARKS THE
BEGINNING.' BUT IF YOU HAD TO DO
00:11:58.95\00:12:04.15
WITHOUT ONE OR THE OTHER -
NOT THAT YOU SHOULD DO WITHOUT
00:12:04.15\00:12:07.32
EITHER - WILL THERE BE PEOPLE IN
HEAVEN WHO MAYBE WERE NOT WATER
00:12:07.32\00:12:11.63
BAPTIZED? >>YES.
00:12:11.63\00:12:13.60
>>WILL THERE BE ANYONE IN HEAVEN
THAT IS NOT SPIRIT BAPTIZED?
00:12:13.60\00:12:18.17
THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU DON'T HAVE
HIS SPIRIT, YOU ARE NONE OF HIS.
00:12:18.17\00:12:22.14
WE MUST BE BORN
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:12:22.14\00:12:25.31
SOME PEOPLE THINK THE BAPTISM
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A NEW
00:12:25.31\00:12:28.28
TESTAMENT TEACHING - IT'S
A PHENOMENON THAT HAPPENS AT
00:12:28.28\00:12:31.21
PENTECOST. THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:12:31.21\00:12:32.88
TEACH THAT EITHER.
YOU FIND THE SPIRIT FROM
00:12:32.88\00:12:34.92
BEGINNING TO END IN THE BIBLE.
YOU KNOW, THE SPIRIT OF GOD
00:12:34.92\00:12:38.79
MOVES UPON THE
FACE OF THE WATER.
00:12:38.79\00:12:40.49
THERE THE SPIRIT IS INTEGRAL
IN THE FORMATION OF LIFE IN THE
00:12:40.49\00:12:44.06
BEGINNING AND IT SAYS,
'THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY,
00:12:44.06\00:12:46.73
'COME'' AT THE LAST
CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE. SO THE
00:12:46.73\00:12:48.70
HOLY SPIRIT IS ALL THROUGH
THE BIBLE, AND EVEN THE FILLING,
00:12:48.70\00:12:51.90
OR THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT
IS FOUND ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:12:51.90\00:12:55.40
JUST A FEW EXAMPLES - WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR ALL OF THEM - GO
00:12:55.40\00:12:58.17
TO JUDGES CHAPTER 6, VERSE
34. AND HERE IT SAYS, "BUT THE
00:12:58.17\00:13:03.61
SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME
UPON GIDEON; THEN HE BLEW THE
00:13:03.61\00:13:07.08
TRUMPET," - HE WAS
BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.
00:13:07.08\00:13:11.32
2 CHRONICLES 20:14, "THEN
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON
00:13:11.32\00:13:15.99
JAHAZIEL THE SON OF ZECHARIAH,
THE SON OF BENAIAH...IN THE
00:13:15.99\00:13:19.33
MIDST OF THE ASSEMBLY." IT'S
ONE OF THE PROPHETS BACK IN THE
00:13:19.33\00:13:21.93
DAYS OF JEHOSHOPHAT - THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD CAME UPON HIM.
00:13:21.93\00:13:25.77
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE
STORY OF WHEN MOSES WAS BEING
00:13:25.77\00:13:28.77
OVERWHELMED WITH ADMINISTRATING
THE KINGDOM AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK,
00:13:28.77\00:13:32.51
I WANT YOU TO BRING THE 70
ELDERS, AND YOU NEED TO DELEGATE
00:13:32.51\00:13:35.18
- BRING THEM TO THE TABERNACLE
AND I WILL TAKE OF THE SPIRIT
00:13:35.18\00:13:39.45
THAT IS ON YOU AND PUT IT ON
THEM.' IT ALMOST MAKES IT SOUND
00:13:39.45\00:13:43.35
LIKE, YOU KNOW, MOSES HAS
GOT THIS SPECIAL FORMULA AND
00:13:43.35\00:13:46.99
GOD'S GOING TO TAKE MOSES'
FORMULA AND PUT IT ON THE ELDERS
00:13:46.99\00:13:49.36
- KIND OF LIKE WHEN GOD SAID
HE TOOK THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH AND
00:13:49.36\00:13:52.79
PUT IN ON ELISHA, IT'S ALL A
TYPE OF HOW GOD TAKES THE SPIRIT
00:13:52.79\00:13:57.93
OF JESUS AND GIVES
GOD THE SPIRIT TO US.
00:13:57.93\00:14:01.64
>>AMEN. >>BUT
HERE, HE GOES ON AND HE
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.91
SAYS THAT THESE SEVENTY
ELDERS ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY
00:14:03.91\00:14:08.28
SPIRIT AND THEY PROPHESY.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A MINI EXAMPLE
00:14:08.28\00:14:12.95
OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH PENTECOST.
YOU NOTICE, JESUS HAD THE TWELVE
00:14:12.95\00:14:16.99
APOSTLES AND THEN HE ALSO
HAD AN ADDITIONAL SEVENTY THAT
00:14:16.99\00:14:20.46
HE SENT OUT, RIGHT?
MOSES HAD THE TWELVE PRINCES OF
00:14:20.46\00:14:24.26
ISRAEL, AND THEN HE
HAD THE SEVENTY ELDERS.
00:14:24.26\00:14:26.66
SOME INTERESTING NUMBERS -
THEY WERE ALL SPIRIT-FILLED.
00:14:26.66\00:14:30.70
AND SO, ALL THE WAY FROM THE OLD
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT - ONE MORE
00:14:30.70\00:14:34.20
- LIKE I SAID, THERE'S
MANY, MANY I COULD GIVE YOU.
00:14:34.20\00:14:36.57
EZEKIEL 11:5, "THEN THE SPIRIT
OF THE LORD FELL UPON ME, AND
00:14:36.57\00:14:40.84
SAID TO ME, 'SPEAK!'" -
OF COURSE, HE'S - PROPHETS
00:14:40.84\00:14:42.84
OF GOD IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT HAD THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
00:14:42.84\00:14:46.72
NOW, IS HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT
THE SAME AS BEING BAPTIZED WITH
00:14:46.72\00:14:54.76
THE HOLY SPIRIT? THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:14:54.76\00:14:58.83
DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT
COME IN VARYING DEGREES?
00:14:58.83\00:15:03.70
I, YOU KNOW, IN PREPARATION
FOR STUDIES AND SERMONS, I READ
00:15:03.70\00:15:08.80
OTHER MATERIAL - OTHER BOOKS
- LISTEN TO OTHER MESSAGES BY
00:15:08.80\00:15:11.51
OTHER PREACHERS. AND,
IN PREPARATION FOR THIS,
00:15:11.51\00:15:15.58
I HEARD THE MESSAGE OF ANOTHER
PASTOR I'LL NOT NAME AND HE SAID
00:15:15.58\00:15:18.31
THAT, 'EVERY CHRISTIAN, AT THE
POINT OF CONVERSION, IS BAPTIZED
00:15:18.31\00:15:22.05
IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.' I THOUGHT
ABOUT IT AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT -
00:15:22.05\00:15:25.32
HE MADE SOME ARGUMENTS, AND
I JUST RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:15:25.32\00:15:29.32
I BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
COMES IN VARYING DEGREES BASED
00:15:29.32\00:15:33.13
UPON WHAT THE NEED IS. >>AMEN.
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.40
>>DID THE APOSTLES HAVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHEN JESUS SENT THEM OUT
00:15:35.40\00:15:40.07
TEACHING AND PREACHING
DURING - WHILE CHRIST WAS ALIVE?
00:15:40.07\00:15:43.87
THEY WERE CASTING OUT DEVILS.
IF IT WASN'T THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:15:43.87\00:15:46.51
WHAT WAS IT? LET'S
HOPE IT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:15:46.51\00:15:49.88
IN THE UPPER ROOM, WHEN JESUS
BREATHED ON THEM, AND IT SAYS
00:15:49.88\00:15:56.02
THAT HE BREATHED ON HIM
AND HE SAID, 'RECEIVE YE THE
00:15:56.02\00:15:58.55
HOLY SPIRIT' - THEY HAD
THE HOLY SPIRIT THEN, BUT THAT
00:15:58.55\00:16:04.99
WASN'T THE FILLING
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:16:04.99\00:16:08.20
AND SO, YOU SEE A NUMBER
OF EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE - IT
00:16:08.20\00:16:11.03
WASN'T THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT BECAUSE IF THAT WAS THE
00:16:11.03\00:16:13.40
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND
THAT'S IN THE UPPER ROOM, WHY
00:16:13.40\00:16:17.14
DOES JESUS SAY,
'NOW DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
00:16:17.14\00:16:19.71
WAIT IN JERUSALEM UNTIL
YOU RECEIVE POWER FROM ON HIGH.
00:16:19.71\00:16:23.24
SO, WHAT HAPPENED AT PENTECOST,
AND WHAT HAPPENED TO DAVID AND
00:16:23.24\00:16:28.05
SAMSON AND THE SEVENTY ELDERS IS
A SEPARATE FILLING OF THE HOLY
00:16:28.05\00:16:33.92
SPIRIT - AND WE'RE GOING TO GET
MORE INTO THAT A LITTLE LATER
00:16:33.92\00:16:36.22
ON. SO NOW, THAT'S JUST OUR
INTRODUCTION TO THIS SECTION.
00:16:36.22\00:16:39.96
WE'RE GOING TO GO TALK ABOUT THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND -
00:16:39.96\00:16:44.27
LET'S START WITH JOEL CHAPTER 2,
VERSE 28 - JOEL 2:28 AND 29, AND
00:16:44.27\00:16:52.17
HERE THE PROPHET SAYS, "AND
IS SHALL COME TO PASS AFTERWARD
00:16:52.17\00:16:54.51
THAT I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT
ON ALL FLESH; YOUR SONS AND YOUR
00:16:54.51\00:17:00.82
DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS,
00:17:00.82\00:17:04.32
YOUR YOUNG MEN
SHALL SEE VISIONS.
00:17:04.32\00:17:06.49
AND ALSO ON MY MENSERVANTS AND
ON MY MAIDSERVANTS I WILL POUR
00:17:06.49\00:17:10.09
OUT MY SPIRIT IN THOSE DAYS."
SO, DOES GOD DISCRIMINATE THAT
00:17:10.09\00:17:15.03
ONLY PROPHETS AND
KINGS GET THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:17:15.03\00:17:18.70
DO YOU HAVE TO BE A JUDGE OF
ISRAEL, LIKE SAMSON, TO GET THE
00:17:18.70\00:17:20.64
HOLY SPIRIT? NO, HE SAYS THAT
THERE'S A SPECIAL OUTPOURING OF
00:17:20.64\00:17:25.41
THE SPIRIT THAT WOULD
HAPPEN ON ALL BELIEVERS.
00:17:25.41\00:17:28.31
WHEN IS THAT SUPPOSED TO
BE? IS THAT FUTURE OR PAST?
00:17:28.31\00:17:32.25
>>PRESENT.
>>PRESENT? DID IT ONLY HAPPEN IN
00:17:32.25\00:17:37.65
THE PRESENT? THE
OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT?
00:17:37.65\00:17:40.46
LOOK WITH ME IN ACTS CHAPTER 2 -
ACTS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 14 - "BUT
00:17:40.46\00:17:47.50
PETER, STANDING UP WITH THE
ELEVEN, RAISED HIS VOICE AND
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.70
SAID TO THEM, 'MEN OF JUDEA AND
ALL WHO DWELL IN JERUSALEM," -
00:17:49.70\00:17:52.97
IT GOES ON TO SAY, "...THESE ARE
NOT DRUNK AS YOU SUPPOSE, SINCE
00:17:52.97\00:17:55.57
IT IS ONLY THE
THIRD HOUR OF THE DAY.
00:17:55.57\00:17:57.14
BUT THIS IS WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY
THE PROPHET JOEL: 'AND IT SHALL
00:17:57.14\00:18:03.28
COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS,'"
- IT'S FUN WHEN YOU HEAR ONE
00:18:03.28\00:18:06.01
BIBLE SCRIPTURE QUOTING ANOTHER
BIBLE SCRIPTURE - "'AND IT SHALL
00:18:06.01\00:18:09.88
COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS,
SAYS GOD, THAT I WILL POUR OUT
00:18:09.88\00:18:12.65
MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH; YOUR
SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL
00:18:12.65\00:18:16.56
PROPHESY, YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL
SEE VISIONS, YOUR OLD MEN SHALL
00:18:16.56\00:18:19.33
DREAM DREAMS. AND ON
MY MENSERVANTS AND ON MY
00:18:19.33\00:18:22.63
MAIDSERVANTS I WILL POUR
OUT MY SPIRIT...AND THEY SHALL
00:18:22.63\00:18:24.90
PROPHESY.'" SO AT
PENTECOST, WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:18:24.90\00:18:27.57
ONLY POURED OUT ON THE TWELVE
APOSTLES? WHO RECEIVED THE HOLY
00:18:27.57\00:18:32.17
SPIRIT AT PENTECOST? HOW
MANY WERE IN THE UPPER ROOM?
00:18:32.17\00:18:37.05
A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY IN THE UPPER ROOM.
00:18:37.05\00:18:40.12
SO YOU'VE GOT THE TWELVE -
ACTUALLY TEN TIMES TWELVE IS ONE
00:18:40.12\00:18:43.79
TWENTY - ARE
RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:18:43.79\00:18:46.72
IN THE LAST DAYS, IS IT
ONLY THE 144,000 THAT ARE SAVED?
00:18:46.72\00:18:52.23
OR DO THE 144,000
HAVE A SPECIAL WORK TO
00:18:52.23\00:18:55.23
GET A GREAT MULTITUDE
READY? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:18:55.23\00:19:01.00
SO IT WASN'T JUST THE
DISCIPLES. IT WASN'T JUST MEN.
00:19:01.00\00:19:05.34
THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED
ON EVERYONE WAY BACK 2,000 YEARS
00:19:05.34\00:19:08.41
AGO. AND SO, GOD IS OFFERING HIS
00:19:08.41\00:19:11.28
SPIRIT TO ALL PEOPLE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF MINISTRY.
00:19:11.28\00:19:15.92
NOW, DID THE LORD ONLY POUR OUT
HIS HOLY SPIRIT ON WOMEN AFTER
00:19:15.92\00:19:20.22
JESUS, DURING THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:19:20.22\00:19:23.02
OR WERE THERE PROPHETESSES
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?
00:19:23.02\00:19:25.39
SO THIS WAS NOT A NEW THING THAT
WOMEN SHOULD RECEIVE THE HOLY
00:19:25.39\00:19:29.90
SPIRIT. SO WHAT IS
JOEL TALKING ABOUT -
00:19:29.90\00:19:32.53
'IT'LL COME TO
PASS IN THE LAST DAYS'?
00:19:32.53\00:19:35.00
WELL, YOU KNOW, MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THAT JOEL IS DESCRIBING, NOT
00:19:35.00\00:19:39.91
THAT THERE WOULD BE INDIVIDUAL
CASES OF, NOT ONLY APOSTLES AND
00:19:39.91\00:19:44.85
PROPHETS AND COMMON PEOPLE
RECEIVING THE SPIRIT, BUT IT
00:19:44.85\00:19:48.35
WOULD COME IN A TSUNAMI.
SEE, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS COMPARED
00:19:48.35\00:19:52.65
TO RAIN. IN THE - AND THIS IS
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IN THIS
00:19:52.65\00:19:58.96
STUDY - IN THE HEBREW
AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT, THEIR
00:19:58.96\00:20:04.60
CLIMATE, THE CROPS WERE SPROUTED
WITH THIS REAL GOOD RAIN.
00:20:04.60\00:20:12.44
NOW, THOSE OF US THAT ARE HERE
IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA, THOSE
00:20:12.44\00:20:17.25
WHO DON'T KNOW, GRANITE
BAY IS A SUBURB OF SACRAMENTO.
00:20:17.25\00:20:19.61
CAN I SAY THAT? AND
WE'RE NOT EVEN IN GRANITE
00:20:19.61\00:20:21.35
BAY, WE'RE IN ROCKLIN, SO
NOW YOU'RE REALLY CONFUSED.
00:20:21.35\00:20:25.55
BUT IN THE GREATER SACRAMENTO
AREA, WE JUST HAD - I HOPE - IS
00:20:25.55\00:20:28.56
THE DROUGHT OVER? HELP ME.
00:20:28.56\00:20:29.69
>>IT'S OVER! >>DOES
IT FEEL LIKE IT'S OVER?
00:20:29.69\00:20:33.43
WHEN YOU WALK AROUND OUTSIDE AND
YOU SINK INTO THE MUD UP TO YOUR
00:20:33.43\00:20:35.80
KNEES, YOU HOPE
THE DROUGHT'S OVER.
00:20:35.80\00:20:38.50
SO WE JUST HAD A REALLY GOOD
GULLYWASHER, BUT THE THING THAT
00:20:38.50\00:20:41.47
YOU NOTICE AFTER ONE SUNNY DAY -
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL YESTERDAY - ALL
00:20:41.47\00:20:44.47
THIS STUFF SPROUTED. ALL THE
GRASS CAME UP. STUFF SPROUTED.
00:20:44.47\00:20:48.01
I WAS OUT
PLANTING FLOWERS YESTERDAY.
00:20:48.01\00:20:49.98
AND THEY WOULD HAVE HEAVY RAINS
IN THE FALL THAT WOULD THEN
00:20:49.98\00:20:56.75
SPROUT THE WINTER CROPS OF WHEAT
AND THEY WOULD GET SMATTERINGS
00:20:56.75\00:21:00.32
OF RAIN ALONG THE WAY, AND THEN
THERE WOULD BE A LATTER RAIN
00:21:00.32\00:21:03.26
WHERE THEY WOULD GET A HEAVY
RAIN IN THE SPRING AND RIPEN UP
00:21:03.26\00:21:06.43
THE CROPS JUST IN TIME FOR THE
HARVEST AND PENTECOST WAS WHEN
00:21:06.43\00:21:10.53
THEY HAD THAT HARVEST
AFTER THE LATTER RAIN.
00:21:10.53\00:21:15.04
AND SO, WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT
POURING OUT THE SPIRIT, HE'S
00:21:15.04\00:21:18.37
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING
MORE THAN THE SPRINKLING.
00:21:18.37\00:21:22.44
IT'S A POURING OF THE SPIRIT
THAT'S HAPPENING HERE. SOMEONE,
00:21:22.44\00:21:26.55
IN A MOMENT'S, GOING TO READ FOR
ME JOHN 1:33 - DAN'LL HAVE THAT,
00:21:26.55\00:21:30.69
OKAY? I'M GOING TO READ JOHN 3:5
- ACTUALLY, I ALREADY READ THAT
00:21:30.69\00:21:33.86
- MARK 1:8 IS WHAT I'LL READ.
JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID, "I INDEED
00:21:33.86\00:21:37.19
BAPTIZED YOU WITH WATER, BUT
HE" - THE ONE WHO COMES AFTER
00:21:37.19\00:21:41.20
ME - "WILL BAPTIZE
YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:21:41.20\00:21:44.73
NOW JESUS SAID YOU MUST BE BORN
OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT OR
00:21:44.73\00:21:48.77
YOU CANNOT ENTER
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:21:48.77\00:21:50.91
LET ME SAY A LITTLE MORE ABOUT
THAT: YOU'RE GOING TO RUN INTO -
00:21:50.91\00:21:54.31
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY - YOU'RE
GOING TO MEET CHRISTIANS WHO
00:21:54.31\00:21:56.38
READ THAT VERSE 'BORN OF
THE WATER; BORN OF THE SPIRIT' -
00:21:56.38\00:21:59.21
THEY SAY 'BORN OF THE WATER'
MEANS HUMAN BIRTH - WHEN A
00:21:59.21\00:22:03.05
BABY'S BORN IT'S IN AN ENVELOPE
OF WATER AND THE WATER BREAKS
00:22:03.05\00:22:06.29
AND USUALLY THE BABY IS
BORN SOON AFTER THAT - YOU HOPE.
00:22:06.29\00:22:10.86
AND THEY SAY, 'UNLESS YOU'RE
BORN OF A WOMAN AND OF THE
00:22:10.86\00:22:13.90
SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT ENTER THE
KINGDOM.' ANYONE ELSE RUN INTO
00:22:13.90\00:22:16.63
THAT BEFORE? HEARD THAT STUDY?
A LOT OF CHURCHES - YOU HAVE,
00:22:16.63\00:22:21.00
YEAH - A LOT OF
CHURCHES TEACH THAT.
00:22:21.00\00:22:23.27
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE
00:22:23.27\00:22:25.44
THAT WOULD REALLY
BE STRANGE TO SAY.
00:22:25.44\00:22:28.71
HOW MANY OF YOU OUT
THERE WERE BORN OF A WOMAN?
00:22:28.71\00:22:32.61
SO WHY EVEN MENTION IT? I
MEAN, IT'S EVERYBODY, RIGHT?
00:22:32.61\00:22:35.05
NOW, THESE DAYS, THINGS ARE
CHANGING, BECAUSE - A LOT OF
00:22:35.05\00:22:38.39
STUFF HAPPENING IN THE
LABORATORY - BUT, TYPICALLY,
00:22:38.39\00:22:41.16
EVERYBODY'S ALREADY BORN
OF A WOMAN; WHY EVEN SAY THAT?
00:22:41.16\00:22:44.29
HE'S TALKING ABOUT UNLESS YOU
WERE BORN OF THE WATER - GOING
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.90
TO JOHN THE BAPTIST - THAT'S
A CHOICE YOU MAKE - BORN OF THE
00:22:46.90\00:22:49.90
SPIRIT IS A CHOICE GOD MAKES.
YOU CAN CHOOSE THE DATE OF YOUR
00:22:49.90\00:22:53.77
WATER BAPTISM, BUT GOD
ONLY CHOOSES THE DATE OF
00:22:53.77\00:22:56.50
THE SPIRIT BAPTISM.
AND, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT
00:22:56.50\00:22:59.51
SOMETIMES THE SPIRIT
BAPTISM HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME
00:22:59.51\00:23:03.98
AS THE WATER BAPTISM?
GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.
00:23:03.98\00:23:07.08
>>JESUS. >>CHRIST.
00:23:07.08\00:23:09.82
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN
WATER, SPIRIT - SAME TIME.
00:23:09.82\00:23:12.79
SOMETIMES THEY WERE BAPTIZED
IN WATER AND THEN LATER THE HOLY
00:23:12.79\00:23:16.52
SPIRIT. GIVE ME A
CASE OF THAT. THE APOSTLES.
00:23:16.52\00:23:22.90
THEY WERE PROBABLY BAPTIZED BY
JOHN THE BAPTIST, BUT THEY WERE
00:23:22.90\00:23:24.90
BAPTIZED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT AT PENTECOST.
00:23:24.90\00:23:27.64
AND THEN, SOMETIMES PEOPLE WERE
BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
00:23:27.64\00:23:32.34
LATER BAPTIZED IN WATER.
YOU CAN READ WHERE CORNELIUS AND
00:23:32.34\00:23:40.35
HIS FAMILY - PETER'S PREACHING
- THEY'RE BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY
00:23:40.35\00:23:42.78
SPIRIT AND HE SAYS, 'WOW, YOU'RE
GETTING THE CART AHEAD OF THE
00:23:42.78\00:23:44.95
HORSE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
BAPTIZED - PETER DIDN'T REALIZE
00:23:44.95\00:23:47.42
IT CAN HAPPEN ANY WAY GOD WANTS
IT. AND HE SAID, 'WHO CAN FORBID
00:23:47.42\00:23:50.69
WATER THAT THESE SHOULD
ALSO BE BAPTIZED IN WATER?
00:23:50.69\00:23:53.46
AND SO, WE CAN'T CHOOSE WHEN GOD
DECIDES TO POUR OUT THE SPIRIT,
00:23:53.46\00:23:58.50
BUT IS THERE SOMETHING WE
CAN DO TO PLEAD FOR THE SPIRIT?
00:23:58.50\00:24:03.04
SHOULD WE BE ASKING FOR
THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT?
00:24:03.04\00:24:06.51
IF IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR OUR
SALVATION TO BE BORN OF THE
00:24:06.51\00:24:08.94
SPIRIT? YOU KNOW,
BEFORE THE CHILDREN
00:24:08.94\00:24:14.85
OF ISRAEL ENTERED THE PROMISED
LAND, THEY WENT THROUGH THE SEA.
00:24:14.85\00:24:20.42
PAUL TELLS US, IN 1 CORINTHIANS
10, THAT'S A TYPE OF WATER
00:24:20.42\00:24:23.19
BAPTISM; AND THEY
WERE BAPTIZED IN THE FIRE.
00:24:23.19\00:24:27.86
NOW THEY HAD TO MAKE A DECISION
TO GO FORWARD AND GO THROUGH THE
00:24:27.86\00:24:30.03
SEA. GOD IS THE ONE WHO
SENT THE PILLAR OF FIRE.
00:24:30.03\00:24:33.90
SO THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN THIS
PILLAR OF FIRE THAT GOD SENT,
00:24:33.90\00:24:37.57
AND THEY WERE
BAPTIZED IN THE SEA.
00:24:37.57\00:24:40.14
A SYMBOL - BEFORE THEY GOT TO
THE PROMISED LAND, THEY NEEDED
00:24:40.14\00:24:42.48
BOTH BAPTISMS, RIGHT? THE
WORLD WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER,
00:24:42.48\00:24:48.92
ACCORDING TO 2 PETER CHAPTER 3,
THE WORLD WAS BAPTIZED IN WATER
00:24:48.92\00:24:52.25
IN THE DAYS OF NOAH
- WASHED FROM ITS SIN.
00:24:52.25\00:24:57.36
IT WILL BE BAPTIZED IN FIRE
BEFORE JESUS COMES - OR, WHEN
00:24:57.36\00:25:01.36
JESUS COMES - BAPTIZED IN FIRE,
AND THEN GOD MAKES A NEW EARTH.
00:25:01.36\00:25:06.47
THE WORLD DOESN'T GET TO
HEAVEN UNTIL IT GOES THROUGH A
00:25:06.47\00:25:09.94
WATER/FIRE BAPTISM. SO,
JOHN THE BAPTIST IS SAYING,
00:25:09.94\00:25:14.34
'I BAPTIZE IN WATER, BUT THE ONE
WHO COMES AFTER ME, HE'S GOING
00:25:14.34\00:25:17.61
TO BAPTIZE YOU IN THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE.' NOW, WAS
00:25:17.61\00:25:19.98
THERE, LITERALLY,
FIRE AT PENTECOST?
00:25:19.98\00:25:24.25
>>THERE WERE TONGUES OF
FIRE. >>YEAH, WHY DID GOD
00:25:24.25\00:25:26.35
CHOOSE TONGUES OF FIRE?
WHERE DID GOD TAKE THE COAL -
00:25:26.35\00:25:33.66
REMEMBER THE STORY OF ISAIAH'S
CONVERSION? WHEN ISAIAH'S
00:25:33.66\00:25:35.86
CONVERTED, WHERE
DID GOD TAKE THE COAL?
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.73
HE PUT IT ON HIS LIPS,
YEAH. AT PENTECOST, WHAT WAS THE
00:25:38.73\00:25:43.44
EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAD BEEN
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:25:43.44\00:25:48.31
IT WAS THEIR SPEAKING AND THEY
SPOKE IN A SUPERNATURAL WAY WITH
00:25:48.31\00:25:52.48
LANGUAGES THEY HAD NOT
FORMALLY KNOWN OR STUDIED.
00:25:52.48\00:25:55.35
THEY WERE SPEAKING IN TONGUES SO
GOD GAVE THEM TONGUES OF FIRE TO
00:25:55.35\00:25:58.95
SHOW THAT THIS WAS A
GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:25:58.95\00:26:01.26
GO AHEAD, READ FOR US 1 JOHN 33.
00:26:01.26\00:26:05.29
>>"I DID NOT KNOW HIM BUT HE WHO
SENT ME TO BAPTIZE WITH WATER
00:26:05.29\00:26:08.86
SAID TO ME, 'UPON WHOM YOU
SEE THE SPIRIT DESCENDING AND
00:26:08.86\00:26:12.70
REMAINING ON HIM, THIS IS HE WHO
BAPTIZES WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:26:12.70\00:26:17.94
>>SO HERE YOU HAVE JOHN;
GOD IS GIVING HIM A SIGNAL.
00:26:17.94\00:26:20.71
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO IS THE
ONE THAT WILL BAPTIZE WITH FIRE
00:26:20.71\00:26:23.68
- I'VE NOT BAPTIZED WITH WATER
- YOU WILL SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:26:23.68\00:26:26.92
DESCEND ON. GOD GAVE, YOU KNOW
- I MEAN, USUALLY YOU FEEL THE
00:26:26.92\00:26:29.95
SPIRIT, BUT HE SAID, 'I'LL GIVE
YOU SOMETHING VISUAL TO LOOK
00:26:29.95\00:26:31.75
AT.' PENTECOST IT
WAS TONGUES OF FIRE.
00:26:31.75\00:26:34.82
WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED,
WHAT WAS THE VISUAL SIGN OF THE
00:26:34.82\00:26:37.16
SPIRIT? >>A DOVE.
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.23
>>NOW, WE NEED SOMETHING VISUAL
BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A
00:26:39.23\00:26:41.83
SPIRIT - HE'S INVISIBLE - AND
SO HE'S COMPARED, AS I MENTIONED
00:26:41.83\00:26:45.77
BEFORE, TO WATER. YOU KNOW,
THERE AT THE WELL JESUS TALKED
00:26:45.77\00:26:49.44
ABOUT THE OVERFLOWING THE SPIRIT
AS LIVING WATER, AND IT WAS A
00:26:49.44\00:26:54.78
DOVE AT HIS BAPTISM.
IT WAS FIRE AT PENTECOST.
00:26:54.78\00:26:58.15
HE TOLD NICODEMUS
IT'S LIKE WIND THAT BLOWS.
00:26:58.15\00:27:01.55
AND SO, GOD GIVES US DIFFERENT
SYMBOLS, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD
00:27:01.55\00:27:04.49
FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE HOLY
SPIRIT. SOMETIMES THE SPIRIT'S
00:27:04.49\00:27:08.06
LIKENED TO OIL. OIL
WAS POURED UPON THE PRIEST
00:27:08.06\00:27:11.73
TO ANOINT HIM - OR TO THE KING
AND THE SPIRIT CAME UPON THEM.
00:27:11.73\00:27:16.67
LUKE 3:16 - NOW, THERE'S THREE
PLACES WHERE - FOUR PLACES -
00:27:16.67\00:27:20.44
WHERE JOHN THE BAPTIST
TALKS ABOUT - HE MAKES IT REALLY
00:27:20.44\00:27:22.77
CLEAR, 'I BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER
BUT SOMEONE ELSE IS COMING TO
00:27:22.77\00:27:25.21
BAPTIZE YOU
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:27:25.21\00:27:27.81
LUKE 3:16, "JOHN ANSWERED,
SAYING TO ALL, 'I INDEED BAPTIZE
00:27:27.81\00:27:31.88
YOU WITH WATER; BUT ONE MIGHTIER
THAN I IS COMING, WHOSE SANDAL
00:27:31.88\00:27:35.62
STRAP I AM NOT WORTHY TO
LOOSE. HE WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH
00:27:35.62\00:27:39.42
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE." -
AND, YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID JOHN
00:27:39.42\00:27:41.66
IS THE GREATEST OF THE
PROPHETS, BUT COMPARED TO JESUS,
00:27:41.66\00:27:44.79
NO PROPHET IS WORTHY.
AND THEN YOU READ IN ACTS
00:27:44.79\00:27:48.70
1:5, IT SAYS, "FOR JOHN TRULY
BAPTIZED WITH WATER, BUT YOU
00:27:48.70\00:27:54.07
SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT NOT MANY DAYS FROM NOW."
00:27:54.07\00:27:57.41
NOW, CHRIST IS TELLING THEM,
'YOU'RE GOING TO BE BAPTIZED
00:27:57.41\00:28:00.24
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
YOU NEED THE WATER BAPTISM;
00:28:00.24\00:28:03.41
YOU NEED THE SPIRIT BAPTISM.
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING THAT
00:28:03.41\00:28:09.58
WHEN - I DID EVANGELISM AS A -
OH, I STILL DO EVANGELISM, BUT I
00:28:09.58\00:28:12.59
WAS A CONFERENCE EVANGELIST
FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND EVERY GOOD
00:28:12.59\00:28:16.06
PRESIDENT, WHEN YOU GET
DONE WITH A MEETING, HE WANTS TO
00:28:16.06\00:28:21.36
KNOW, 'WELL, WAS IT
A SUCCESSFUL MEETING?'
00:28:21.36\00:28:23.47
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE PAYING
A PASTOR TO BE A FULL-TIME
00:28:23.47\00:28:25.57
EVANGELIST, YOU'VE
GOT TO PRODUCE FRUIT.
00:28:25.57\00:28:27.60
HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE FRUIT?
WHAT DO THEY THINK - WHAT DO YOU
00:28:27.60\00:28:30.04
THINK THE PRESIDENT
WILL ASK THE PASTOR?
00:28:30.04\00:28:32.81
>>HOW MANY
BAPTISMS? >>OR THE EVANGELIST?
00:28:32.81\00:28:34.14
HOW MANY BAPTISMS WERE THERE?
THAT'S THE CRITERIA - AND THAT'S
00:28:34.14\00:28:36.64
APPROPRIATE. WHAT
OTHER GAUGE YOU GOING TO USE?
00:28:36.64\00:28:39.21
BUT I'VE NEVER YET HAD ANYONE
SAY, 'HOW MANY WERE BAPTIZED IN
00:28:39.21\00:28:42.68
THE HOLY SPIRIT?' BUT
HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT?
00:28:42.68\00:28:47.39
IT'S HARDER TO
MEASURE, ISN'T IT?
00:28:47.39\00:28:49.19
THAT. BUT IT'S
CRUCIAL AND WE NEED TO
00:28:49.19\00:28:53.36
BE PRAYING FOR THE
BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT.
00:28:53.36\00:28:56.03
YOU KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE TALKS
ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU COULD,
00:28:56.03\00:28:59.27
SPECIFICALLY, ASK FOR, HE SAID,
'IF YOUR CHILD IS HUNGRY AND HE
00:28:59.27\00:29:03.81
ASKS FOR A PIECE OF BREAD,
WILL YOU GIVE HIM A STONE?'
00:29:03.81\00:29:07.98
AND THE DEVIL TOLD JESUS, 'TURN
THE STONES TO BREAD.' HE SAID,
00:29:07.98\00:29:11.61
'IF HE'S HUNGRY AND HE
ASKS FOR A FISH,' - YOU KNOW -
00:29:11.61\00:29:15.88
'WILL YOU GIVE HIM A SERPENT?'
'IF HE ASKS FOR AN EGG' - LUKE
00:29:15.88\00:29:19.99
MENTIONS ONE ADDITIONAL ANALOGY,
HE SAYS, 'IF HE ASKS FOR AN EGG
00:29:19.99\00:29:23.96
WILL YOU GIVE HIM A SCORPION?'
I MEAN, WHAT PARENT WOULD
00:29:23.96\00:29:26.13
SAY, 'OH, YOU WANT AN
EGG? HERE, I'LL MAKE SCRAMBLED
00:29:26.13\00:29:27.73
SCORPIONS THIS MORNING.'
YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO YOUR
00:29:27.73\00:29:30.87
CHILDREN. AND HE
SAID, 'IF YOU, THEN,
00:29:30.87\00:29:33.37
BEING EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE
GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN' -
00:29:33.37\00:29:36.10
THEN HE TELLS US WHAT WE SHOULD
PRAY FOR - 'HOW MUCH MORE WILL
00:29:36.10\00:29:39.24
YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN GIVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE THAT ASK?'
00:29:39.24\00:29:44.61
SO WHAT'S THE ONE SPECIFIC THING
THAT JESUS MENTIONS, THAT WE
00:29:44.61\00:29:48.68
SHOULD BE PRAYING
FOR? >>THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:29:48.68\00:29:51.09
>>THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING - IT'S PART OF MY PRAYER
00:29:51.09\00:29:53.09
EVERY DAY, IS THAT GOD'LL GIVE
ME THE HOLY - HOW DO YOU RESIST
00:29:53.09\00:29:55.96
TEMPTATION? HOW DO
YOU KNOW WHAT TO SAY?
00:29:55.96\00:29:58.86
I MEAN, YOU NEED THE
HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU.
00:29:58.86\00:30:02.30
AND WE NEED THE
FILLING OF THE SPIRIT.
00:30:02.30\00:30:05.53
NOW, IN THE LAST DAYS, WHERE
SIN ABOUNDS, GRACE MUCH MORE
00:30:05.53\00:30:11.61
ABOUNDS, DO YOU AGREE?
DOESN'T THE BIBLE SAY THAT?
00:30:11.61\00:30:14.71
I HOPE YOU AGREE - IT SAYS THAT.
AND SO WHERE THERE'S - DOES
00:30:14.71\00:30:19.55
THE DEVIL GIVE HIS
SPIRIT IN DIFFERENT DEGREES?
00:30:19.55\00:30:22.82
ARE THERE
VARYING DEGREES OF EVIL?
00:30:22.82\00:30:24.35
>>YES. >>DO WE SEE AN INCREASE?
00:30:24.35\00:30:27.66
DOES IT SAY, IN THE LAST DAYS,
'EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS WILL WAX
00:30:27.66\00:30:29.66
WORSE AND WORSE'?
THEN, IF THERE'S EVER A TIME
00:30:29.66\00:30:34.03
WHEN WE NEED THE HOLY
SPIRIT MORE, WOULDN'T IT BE NOW?
00:30:34.03\00:30:37.23
WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR
THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:30:37.23\00:30:40.20
AND THEN, OF COURSE, ACTS 11:15
- HERE, PETER'S DESCRIBING WHAT
00:30:40.20\00:30:46.81
HAPPENED AT CORNELIUS' HOUSE AND
HE SAYS, "...I BEGAN TO SPEAK,
00:30:46.81\00:30:50.65
THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THEM,
AS UPON US AT THE BEGINNING.
00:30:50.65\00:30:54.28
THEN I REMEMBERED THE WORD
OF THE LORD, HOW HE SAID, 'JOHN
00:30:54.28\00:30:57.59
INDEED BAPTIZED WITH WATER, BUT
YOU SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE
00:30:57.59\00:31:01.46
HOLY SPIRIT.'" NOW, I WANT
TO PAUSE HERE AND I'M GOING TO
00:31:01.46\00:31:04.83
INJECT - I THINK I'VE GOT TIME
- A LITTLE STUDY EXPLAINING THE
00:31:04.83\00:31:09.93
GIFT OF TONGUES.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME,
00:31:09.93\00:31:12.27
PERSONALLY, BECAUSE
WE'RE TEACHING, OF COURSE,
00:31:12.27\00:31:15.27
ADVENTIST SABBATH SCHOOL.
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED
00:31:15.27\00:31:18.44
IN THE ADVENTIST
CHURCH. ANYONE COME FROM A
00:31:18.44\00:31:19.97
PENTECOSTAL BACKGROUND?
I SEE A FEW HERE, YEAH.
00:31:19.97\00:31:25.25
I DIDN'T COME FROM A PENTECOSTAL
BACKGROUND, I CAME FROM A PRETTY
00:31:25.25\00:31:27.62
MUCH ATHEIST BACKGROUND, BUT
AFTER I BECAME A CHRISTIAN - I'D
00:31:27.62\00:31:30.15
NEVER HEARD OF ADVENTISTS,
I WORSHIPED WITH CHARISMATIC
00:31:30.15\00:31:32.65
CHRISTIANS. AND
THEY WOULD ALWAYS SAY,
00:31:32.65\00:31:37.76
'HAVE YOU BEEN
FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT?'
00:31:37.76\00:31:39.36
AND WHAT THEY MEANT BY THAT WAS,
AS EVIDENCED IN THE SPEAKING OF
00:31:39.36\00:31:43.77
TONGUES. 'DO YOU
SPEAK IN TONGUES?'
00:31:43.77\00:31:46.33
AND THAT USED TO CONFUSE
ME BECAUSE, WHEN I FIRST HEARD
00:31:46.33\00:31:50.27
THAT, I HAD ALREADY
READ A LOT OF THE BIBLE.
00:31:50.27\00:31:52.37
I'D NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT BEING
FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT MEANT YOU
00:31:52.37\00:31:55.44
HAD TO SPEAK IN TONGUES. I
ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD TONGUES WAS
00:31:55.44\00:31:58.28
ONE OF MANY GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
AND THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY
00:31:58.28\00:32:02.05
YOU KNOW IF A PERSON
IS SPIRIT-FILLED BASED ON
00:32:02.05\00:32:05.15
THE GIFTS OF THE
SPIRIT. YOU KNOW IF A PERSON IS
00:32:05.15\00:32:07.82
SPIRIT-FILLED BASED ON
THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:32:07.82\00:32:11.03
AND WHAT IS THE
FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT?
00:32:11.03\00:32:12.29
>>LOVE... >>LOVE,
JOY, TONGUES, PEACE -
00:32:12.29\00:32:14.56
NO, I THREW THAT IN THERE. IT
DOESN'T SAY THAT, BUT A LOT OF
00:32:14.56\00:32:18.70
MY CHARISMATIC FRIENDS,
THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE, 'DO YOU
00:32:18.70\00:32:22.04
SPEAK IN TONGUES? THAT'S
THE PROOF YOU'VE GOT THE HOLY
00:32:22.04\00:32:24.04
SPIRIT.' A PERSON CAN FAKE
00:32:24.04\00:32:25.81
SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND
THEY'RE NOT SPIRIT-FILLED.
00:32:25.81\00:32:29.48
NOW, I DON'T WANT TO BE VERY
UNKIND, BUT SOME OF US REMEMBER,
00:32:29.48\00:32:34.72
ABOUT A DECADE AGO, THERE WAS
A RAFT OF TELEVANGELISTS THAT
00:32:34.72\00:32:39.39
WOULD OFTEN SPEAK IN TONGUES ON
TELEVISION AND THERE'S A LOT OF
00:32:39.39\00:32:42.62
SCANDALS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER,
OF THESE TELEVANGELISTS - THEY
00:32:42.62\00:32:46.96
WERE, YOU KNOW, PROSPERITY
PREACHERS, AND THEY WOULD FLAUNT
00:32:46.96\00:32:50.33
THEIR WEALTH AND THEY'D SPEAK
IN TONGUES ON TV AND THEY WERE
00:32:50.33\00:32:54.37
CAUGHT, ON SEVERAL
OCCASIONS, LIVING IMMORAL LIVES.
00:32:54.37\00:32:59.77
BUT THEY COULD PROVE THEY
HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE THEY
00:32:59.77\00:33:01.84
SPOKE IN TONGUES. BUT WHAT
ALWAYS SURPRISED ME IS THAT WHEN
00:33:01.84\00:33:06.61
THEY TRAVELED OVERSEAS
THEY HAD TO HIRE A TRANSLATOR.
00:33:06.61\00:33:10.15
(LAUGHTER) IT'S TRUE!
00:33:10.15\00:33:14.22
YEAH, THESE EVANGELISTS THAT
WOULD ALWAYS SPEAK IN TONGUES ON
00:33:14.22\00:33:16.36
TV AND THEN, AND YOU KNOW, I
DON'T WANT TO MOCK THEM, BUT,
00:33:16.36\00:33:20.16
YOU KNOW, THEY JUST
START BABBLING INCOHERENTLY.
00:33:20.16\00:33:22.36
THEY SAID, 'THIS IS THE GIFT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE'RE
00:33:22.36\00:33:24.07
SPEAKING IN A HEAVENLY ANGELIC
LANGUAGE NOBODY UNDERSTANDS.'
00:33:24.07\00:33:26.90
THEY, OSTENSIBLY, HAVE THE
GIFT OF TONGUES, BUT WHEN THEY
00:33:26.90\00:33:29.74
TRAVELED TO SOUTH AMERICA
OR RUSSIA OR INDIA, THEY HAD TO
00:33:29.74\00:33:33.04
HAVE A TRANSLATOR
TO HELP THEM PREACH.
00:33:33.04\00:33:35.44
WELL, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL
ON THE APOSTLES, THEY DIDN'T
00:33:35.44\00:33:37.51
NEED A TRANSLATOR. ONE
OF THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
00:33:37.51\00:33:42.05
WAS TONGUES -
IT'S ONE OF THE GIFTS.
00:33:42.05\00:33:44.35
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT EVIDENCE
YOU'VE GOT THE HOLY SPIRIT'S NOT
00:33:44.35\00:33:46.42
TONGUES, IT'S LOVE, JOY, PEACE
- AND I'LL GET INTO SOME OF THE
00:33:46.42\00:33:51.13
OTHER CRITERIA HERE IN A MINUTE.
EVERY TIME SOMEONE WAS FILLED
00:33:51.13\00:33:55.73
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY
SHARED THE WORD. WHY DOES GOD
00:33:55.73\00:34:00.50
GIVE US THE HOLY
SPIRIT? TO SPEAK IN TONGUES?
00:34:00.50\00:34:03.00
'I WILL GIVE YOU MY SPIRIT AND
YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES.' SO
00:34:03.00\00:34:06.44
WHY DOES GOD
BAPTIZE WITH HIS SPIRIT?
00:34:06.44\00:34:09.58
>>TO SPREAD THE
GOSPEL. >>TO WITNESS.
00:34:09.58\00:34:11.71
NOW, I'M
GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
00:34:11.71\00:34:13.15
THIS COMES UP A LITTLE LATER.
BEING FILLED - WITH THE HOLY
00:34:13.15\00:34:15.85
SPIRIT - OH WAIT, LET ME
SEE A COUPLE MORE THINGS.
00:34:15.85\00:34:17.59
THERE ARE THREE
EXAMPLES - HOW MANY?
00:34:17.59\00:34:20.16
>>THREE. >>THREE
EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING
00:34:20.16\00:34:21.99
IN TONGUES IN THE BIBLE.
DID YOU KNOW THAT? ONLY THREE.
00:34:21.99\00:34:25.36
IF YOU WENT TO CHARISMATIC
OR PENTECOSTAL CHURCH, YOU WOULD
00:34:25.36\00:34:28.03
THINK THAT THERE'S A THOUSAND,
BUT THERE'S THREE EXAMPLES.
00:34:28.03\00:34:31.57
THEY'RE ALL IN THE BOOK OF ACTS
- ACTS CHAPTER 2, ACTS 10, WITH
00:34:31.57\00:34:34.80
CORNELIUS, ACTS 19. IN
ALL THREE CASES, WHEN THEY'RE
00:34:34.80\00:34:39.01
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THEY ARE SPEAKING WITH MULTIPLE
00:34:39.01\00:34:42.38
LANGUAGE GROUPS PRESENT AND
IT'S FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHARING.
00:34:42.38\00:34:45.91
THOSE LISTENING
KNOW WHAT IS BEING SAID.
00:34:45.91\00:34:49.48
THE BIBLE SAYS, IN ACTS CHAPTER
2, 'WE DO HEAR THEM IN OUR OWN
00:34:49.48\00:34:52.92
TONGUES WHERE WE WERE BORN,
SPEAKING ABOUT THE WONDERFUL
00:34:52.92\00:34:55.79
WORKS OF GOD.' ANOTHER PLACE
IT TALKS ABOUT - THEY MAGNIFIED
00:34:55.79\00:35:00.06
GOD. ANOTHER PLACE IT SAYS 'THEY
00:35:00.06\00:35:01.46
PROPHESIED' - THEY
KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SAYING.
00:35:01.46\00:35:04.67
ALL THE TIMES THEY SPOKE IN
TONGUES THEY WERE - THE WORD
00:35:04.67\00:35:07.30
'TONGUES' JUST MEANS 'LANGUAGES'
- THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS IN THE
00:35:07.30\00:35:09.44
ORIGINAL AND EVERY EXAMPLE IN
THE BIBLE - THE WORD THERE, FOR
00:35:09.44\00:35:12.37
TONGUES, MEANS
'LANGUAGE'. IT DOESN'T MEAN SOME
00:35:12.37\00:35:16.88
SUPERNATURAL GIBBERISH.
IT ALWAYS MEANS 'A LANGUAGE'
00:35:16.88\00:35:20.98
AND, IN 1 CORINTHIANS 14,
WHERE PAUL TALKS ABOUT TONGUES -
00:35:20.98\00:35:23.95
PAUL TALKS ABOUT TONGUES IN
1 CORINTHIANS 14, BUT NOBODY'S
00:35:23.95\00:35:26.96
SPEAKING IN
TONGUES IN THE PASSAGE.
00:35:26.96\00:35:29.39
HE'S EXPLAINING HOW
TO DO IT WHEN IT HAPPENS.
00:35:29.39\00:35:32.09
SO, THERE'S ONLY THREE
EXAMPLES OF IT HAPPENING.
00:35:32.09\00:35:34.03
AND IT'S INTERESTING: PAUL ONLY
SPEAKS ABOUT TONGUES THERE IN 1
00:35:34.03\00:35:37.80
CORINTHIANS - MARK MENTIONS,
AT THE END OF THE GOSPEL, JESUS
00:35:37.80\00:35:42.84
SAID, 'YOU WILL SPEAK WITH OTHER
TONGUES.' JESUS SAID ONE OF THE
00:35:42.84\00:35:46.04
SIGNS IS YOU WILL SPEAK WITH
OTHER TONGUES.' THE APOSTLES
00:35:46.04\00:35:48.38
WERE GIVEN THE ABILITY TO SPEAK
IN OTHER LANGUAGES FOR SPREADING
00:35:48.38\00:35:51.65
THE GOSPEL. AND
PETER NEVER MENTIONS IT.
00:35:51.65\00:35:57.95
JAMES NEVER MENTIONS
IT. JOHN NEVER MENTIONS IT.
00:35:57.95\00:36:01.46
YOU WOULD THINK THAT IF IT WERE
ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SALVATION AND,
00:36:01.46\00:36:04.93
FINALLY, IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN,
WHAT DOES A CHRISTIAN DO?
00:36:04.93\00:36:08.56
FOLLOW CHRIST. WHERE
DOES JESUS SPEAK IN TONGUES?
00:36:08.56\00:36:12.83
I'VE BEEN IN SOME CHURCHES
WHERE I HEARD THE PASTOR WAS SO
00:36:12.83\00:36:14.80
DESPERATE TO HAVE JESUS SPEAKING
IN TONGUES SOMEWHERE, THEY TOOK
00:36:14.80\00:36:17.84
WHERE IT SAYS, 'CHRIST IS ON THE
CROSS' AND HE SAYS, 'ELOI, ELOI,
00:36:17.84\00:36:21.68
LAMA SABACHTHANI' AND THEY
SAID, 'SEE, JESUS IS SPEAKING IN
00:36:21.68\00:36:25.11
TONGUES.' I SAID, 'NO,
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:36:25.11\00:36:28.25
THE BIBLE - THE GOSPEL WRITER
THERE IS TELLING YOU WHAT JESUS
00:36:28.25\00:36:31.45
SAID IN HIS REGULAR LANGUAGE,
BUT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW
00:36:31.45\00:36:35.52
THAT THE WORDS SOUND LIKE
ELIJAH, YOU'LL KNOW WHY THE
00:36:35.52\00:36:39.03
ROMAN SOLDIERS MISUNDERSTOOD.'
THEY DIDN'T SPEAK VERY MUCH -
00:36:39.03\00:36:42.46
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING FOR
ELIJAH BECAUSE HE SAID, 'ELOI,
00:36:42.46\00:36:46.80
ELOI', WHICH WAS
SIMILAR TO ELIJAH'S NAME.
00:36:46.80\00:36:50.41
JESUS NEVER SPOKE IN
TONGUES IN THE BIBLE.
00:36:50.41\00:36:52.81
THERE'S NO RECORD OF HIM
SPEAKING IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGE.
00:36:52.81\00:36:56.31
AND SO, TO SAY YOU DON'T HAVE
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:36:56.31\00:36:59.38
UNLESS YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES, IS
TO IMPLY THAT JESUS WAS ANOINTED
00:36:59.38\00:37:02.35
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AT HIS
BAPTISM, BUT HE DOESN'T SPEAK IN
00:37:02.35\00:37:05.85
TONGUES. SO YOU'VE
GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
00:37:05.85\00:37:08.56
ABOUT MAKING A DOCTRINE OUT OF
THAT. NOW, DO I BELIEVE IN THE
00:37:08.56\00:37:11.89
GIFT OF TONGUES? ABSOLUTELY.
IT IS ONE OF THE GIFTS.
00:37:11.89\00:37:15.36
DO YOU KNOW, WHEN THE GIFTS
ARE LISTED, IT'S ALWAYS AT THE
00:37:15.36\00:37:17.13
BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
BUT SOME CHURCHES HAVE
00:37:17.13\00:37:20.34
TURNED THE LIST UPSIDE DOWN.
SO, ANYWAY, MOVING ALONG - BEING
00:37:20.34\00:37:24.47
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT -
EPHESIANS 5:18 - NOW SOMEONE'S
00:37:24.47\00:37:27.94
GOING TO READ FOR ME, IN
A MOMENT, LUKE 1:41, OKAY?
00:37:27.94\00:37:32.31
EPHESIANS 5:18, "AND DO NOT
BE DRUNK WITH WINE, IN WHICH IS
00:37:32.31\00:37:36.05
DISSIPATION; BUT BE
FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT".
00:37:36.05\00:37:40.19
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO A LIQUOR
STORE - LIQUOR STORES USED TO
00:37:40.19\00:37:43.26
SAY 'WINE AND SPIRITS'.
WHY DO THEY CALL THEM SPIRITS?
00:37:43.26\00:37:47.96
BECAUSE A DIFFERENT SPIRIT COMES
OVER A PERSON WHEN THEY DRINK.
00:37:47.96\00:37:51.57
IT'S NOT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD.
AND, WELL, I WON'T DO MY ALCOHOL
00:37:51.57\00:37:57.04
SERMON RIGHT NOW,
BUT IT'S BAD NEWS.
00:37:57.04\00:38:00.41
PAUL, HE SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO
CONTRAST NIGHT AND DAY, DON'T BE
00:38:00.41\00:38:05.08
DRUNK WITH WINE' - WRONG SPIRIT
- BAD SPIRIT - 'BUT BE FILLED
00:38:05.08\00:38:09.05
WITH THE GOOD SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT
OF GOD.' ACTS 13:52, "AND THE
00:38:09.05\00:38:14.46
DISCIPLES WERE FILLED
WITH JOY AND THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:38:14.46\00:38:19.09
THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS
JOY. JESUS CAME TO GIVE
00:38:19.09\00:38:21.46
US AN ABUNDANT LIFE.
ROMANS 8:9, "BUT YOU ARE NOT IN
00:38:21.46\00:38:25.47
THE FLESH BUT IN THE
SPIRIT, IF INDEED THE SPIRIT OF
00:38:25.47\00:38:28.37
GOD DWELLS IN YOU." NOW -
SO THE SPIRIT DOESN'T JUST
00:38:28.37\00:38:30.74
COME IN A LITTLE WAVE,
BUT HE WANTS THE SPIRIT OF GOD
00:38:30.74\00:38:32.51
TO COME AND DO
WHAT? DWELL IN US.
00:38:32.51\00:38:35.41
SO WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP YOU'VE
GOT THE SPIRIT; WHEN YOU WAKE UP
00:38:35.41\00:38:37.28
YOU'VE STILL GOT THE SPIRIT.
THAT'S WHY DAVID PRAYS, IN PSALM
00:38:37.28\00:38:40.35
51, HE KNEW THAT HE HAD SINNED
AND HE REMEMBERED WHEN SAUL
00:38:40.35\00:38:45.42
PERSISTED IN SIN, GOD
TOOK THE SPIRIT AWAY FROM SAUL.
00:38:45.42\00:38:50.43
IT'S LIKE THE
SPIRIT LEFT SAMSON.
00:38:50.43\00:38:51.99
HE DIDN'T KNOW THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD HAD DEPARTED AND HE WAS
00:38:51.99\00:38:54.30
WEAK. THE SPIRIT
WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM
00:38:54.30\00:38:57.33
SAUL AND DAVID SAID, 'LORD, TAKE
NOT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME.'
00:38:57.33\00:39:01.74
AND SO WE WANT THE
SPIRIT TO DWELL IN US.
00:39:01.74\00:39:05.47
NOW, IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE
SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NOT HIS.
00:39:05.47\00:39:11.21
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT?
YOU DON'T BELONG TO CHRIST
00:39:11.21\00:39:13.55
UNLESS YOU HAVE
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
00:39:13.55\00:39:15.08
WE NEED TO BE
PRAYING FOR IT EVERY DAY.
00:39:15.08\00:39:16.85
ALRIGHT, READ FOR
US, PLEASE, LUKE 1:41.
00:39:16.85\00:39:20.56
>>"AND IT HAPPENED, WHEN
ELIZABETH HEARD THE GREETING OF
00:39:20.56\00:39:23.76
MARY, THAT THE BABE LEAPT IN HER
WOMB; AND ELIZABETH WAS FILLED
00:39:23.76\00:39:28.00
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT."
>>YEAH, JUST EVEN AT THE HEARING
00:39:28.00\00:39:31.73
OF THE VOICE - THE
BABE IS LEAPING IN HER WOMB.
00:39:31.73\00:39:38.91
YOU NOTICE THAT WORDS SEEM
TO GENERATE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:39:38.91\00:39:43.11
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON
CORNELIUS, WHAT WAS HAPPENING -
00:39:43.11\00:39:48.08
WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:39:48.08\00:39:50.25
HE WAS LISTENING TO THE WORD.
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON THE
00:39:50.25\00:39:56.16
DISCIPLES IN EPHESIANS - MATTER
OF FACT YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK
00:39:56.16\00:40:00.40
THERE - NOT EPHESIANS, IN ACTS
- THEY WERE EPHESIAN BELIEVERS.
00:40:00.40\00:40:02.93
IT'S IN ACTS 19 - GO TO ACTS
19, VERSE 1 - THIS IS ONE MORE
00:40:02.93\00:40:08.40
EXAMPLE OF WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
00:40:08.40\00:40:10.61
"AND IT HAPPENED, WHILE APOLLOS
WAS AT CORINTH, THAT PAUL,
00:40:10.61\00:40:13.78
HAVING PASSED THROUGH THE
UPPER REGIONS, CAME TO EPHESUS.
00:40:13.78\00:40:16.38
AND FINDING SOME DISCIPLES" -
THIS IS ACTS 19:1 - NOW I'M IN
00:40:16.38\00:40:19.51
VERSE 2 - "HE SAID TO THEM, 'DID
YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN
00:40:19.51\00:40:23.28
YOU BELIEVED?'' NOW,
NOTICE, THE FIRST THING
00:40:23.28\00:40:24.52
PAUL ASKS THEM
WHEN HE FINDS DISCIPLES.
00:40:24.52\00:40:27.26
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN
DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:40:27.26\00:40:30.69
THEY HEARD ABOUT JOHN - THE
PREACHING OF JOHN - THEY WERE
00:40:30.69\00:40:32.73
BELIEVERS. "HE
SAID TO THEM, 'DID YOU
00:40:32.73\00:40:34.93
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU
BELIEVED?' SO THEY SAID TO HIM,
00:40:34.93\00:40:37.83
'WE HAVE NO SO MUCH AS
HEARD WHETHER THERE IS A HOLY
00:40:37.83\00:40:40.10
SPIRIT.'" THEY HAD MISSED
SOME SERMONS, THAT'S FOR SURE.
00:40:40.10\00:40:44.21
"AND HE SAID TO THEM, 'INTO
WHAT THEN WERE YOU BAPTIZED?'
00:40:44.21\00:40:46.81
SO THEY SAID, 'INTO JOHN'S
BAPTISM.' THEN PAUL SAID, 'JOHN
00:40:46.81\00:40:49.31
INDEED BAPTIZED WITH A BAPTISM
OF REPENTANCE, SAYING TO THE
00:40:49.31\00:40:52.95
PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE
ON HIM WHO WOULD COME AFTER HIM,
00:40:52.95\00:40:56.58
THAT IS, ON CHRIST JESUS.'"
- WHO WOULD BAPTIZE THEM IN THE
00:40:56.58\00:40:58.42
SPIRIT, RIGHT? -
"WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY
00:40:58.42\00:41:01.19
WERE BAPTIZED IN THE
NAME OF THE LORD JESUS.
00:41:01.19\00:41:03.39
AND WHEN PAUL HAD LAID HIS HANDS
ON THEM, THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME
00:41:03.39\00:41:06.86
UPON THEM, AND THEY SPOKE
WITH TONGUES AND PROPHESIED."
00:41:06.86\00:41:10.47
- THEY HEARD WHAT THEY
WERE BELIEVING - AGAIN, THERE'S
00:41:10.47\00:41:11.70
SEVERAL GROUPS -
LANGUAGE GROUPS HERE, PRESENT.
00:41:11.70\00:41:14.84
PAUL PREACHES TO THEM ABOUT
JESUS, LAYS HANDS ON THEM, AND
00:41:14.84\00:41:17.77
THEY'RE FILLED
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:17.77\00:41:19.37
YOU'LL OFTEN SEE THAT IT
HAPPENS IN THAT SEQUENCE.
00:41:19.37\00:41:23.71
NOW, WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO BE BAPTIZED?
00:41:23.71\00:41:26.45
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BAPTISM OF
THE SPIRIT AND I PROBABLY SHOULD
00:41:26.45\00:41:28.22
HAVE STOPPED EARLIER
AND SAID, 'WHAT IS BAPTIZE?'
00:41:28.22\00:41:31.39
WHAT DOES THE
WORD 'BAPTIZE' MEAN?
00:41:31.39\00:41:33.69
>>IMMERSE. >>COME ON, YOU'RE -
00:41:33.69\00:41:35.16
YOU'RE GOOD PROTESTANTS.
BAPTISTS UNDERSTAND BAPTISM.
00:41:35.16\00:41:42.40
WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT
UNDERSTAND THAT. IT MEANS 'TO
00:41:42.40\00:41:45.67
DIP; TO SUBMERGE; TO IMMERSE'
BAPTIZO - YOU CAN SAY THAT WORD.
00:41:45.67\00:41:50.57
IT'S GREEK BUT YOU CAN SAY IT,
BAPTIZO - IT MEANS 'TO SATURATE;
00:41:50.57\00:41:53.88
TO IMMERSE; TO PLUNGE UNDER' -
SO WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT 'BAPTIZED
00:41:53.88\00:41:58.31
IN THE HOLY SPIRIT' - IT'S NOT
A SPRINKLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:58.31\00:42:04.52
DOES THE HOLY
SPIRIT BRING CONVICTION?
00:42:04.52\00:42:07.52
>>YES. >>SO
BEFORE A PERSON'S EVEN
00:42:07.52\00:42:09.76
CONVERTED, ISN'T THE HOLY
SPIRIT WORKING IN THEIR LIFE?
00:42:09.76\00:42:12.46
>>AMEN. >>TO
CONVICT THEM OF SIN?
00:42:12.46\00:42:14.10
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
CAN GUIDE AND COMFORT.
00:42:14.10\00:42:19.57
GOD'S SPIRIT WORKS IN
PEOPLE IN VARYING DEGREES.
00:42:19.57\00:42:21.74
WE'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT
THE FULLNESS - WHERE YOUR CUP
00:42:21.74\00:42:24.41
OVERFLOWS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
BECAUSE YOU ARE SUBMERGED IN THE
00:42:24.41\00:42:27.81
SPIRIT. SO YES, IT
COMES IN DIFFERENT DEGREES.
00:42:27.81\00:42:31.45
AND, AGAIN, I'VE BEEN
READING YOU DIFFERENT VERSES.
00:42:31.45\00:42:33.92
HERE'S ONE FROM MATTHEW 3:11,
JOHN SAID, "I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU
00:42:33.92\00:42:37.72
WITH WATER...BUT HE WHO IS
COMING AFTER ME IS MIGHTIER THAN
00:42:37.72\00:42:42.32
I, WHOSE SANDALS I
AM NOT WORTHY TO CARRY.
00:42:42.32\00:42:44.33
HE WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE."
00:42:44.33\00:42:47.86
NOW WHAT DOES WATER DO? >>SOAKS.
00:42:47.86\00:42:52.23
>>CLEANS. DO YOU
USE WATER TO CLEAN?
00:42:52.23\00:42:57.21
WHAT DOES FIRE DO?
YOU EVER BOIL WATER?
00:42:57.21\00:43:02.38
TO PURIFY? DOES FIRE CLEAN? IT
DOES. FARMERS UNDERSTOOD THAT.
00:43:02.38\00:43:07.72
THEY'D CLEAN THINGS -
THEY'D PURGE THINGS WITH FIRE.
00:43:07.72\00:43:12.65
SO THE HOLY SPIRIT
COMES IN DIFFERENT DEGREES.
00:43:12.65\00:43:15.99
THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POURED ON THE
DISCIPLES IN ACTS CHAPTER 2 -
00:43:15.99\00:43:19.83
SO WAS THAT THE LAST TIME
THE DISCIPLES RECEIVED THE HOLY
00:43:19.83\00:43:22.10
SPIRIT? NO? YOU GO
TO CHAPTER 4 OF ACTS IT
00:43:22.10\00:43:26.43
SAYS THEY PRAYED AND THE PLACE
THEY WERE ASSEMBLED WAS SHAKEN
00:43:26.43\00:43:28.54
AND THEY WERE ALL
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
00:43:28.54\00:43:30.67
THEY SPOKE IN TONGUES.
NO, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:43:30.67\00:43:34.48
IT DOES SAY THEY WERE FILLED
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY
00:43:34.48\00:43:36.21
SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD.
THEY DIDN'T NEED TONGUES THEN
00:43:36.21\00:43:40.48
BECAUSE EVERYONE THERE
SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE.
00:43:40.48\00:43:43.08
SO, HE'S - THEY WERE FILLED WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE PURPOSE
00:43:43.08\00:43:46.45
OF SPEAKING THE WORD OF
GOD. BUT, DO YOU NOTICE, THE
00:43:46.45\00:43:49.29
DISCIPLES WERE FILLED AT
PENTECOST, BUT IT WASN'T THE
00:43:49.29\00:43:51.16
ONLY TIME THEY WERE FILLED. SO,
THERE CAN BE DIFFERENT FILLINGS
00:43:51.16\00:43:56.30
OR BAPTISMS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND THEN YOU - WHEN YOU GET
00:43:56.30\00:44:04.37
MARRIED AND YOU PLEDGE YOUR LOVE
TO YOUR SPOUSE, YOU MIGHT FEEL A
00:44:04.37\00:44:10.18
SURGE OF ROMANCE AND PASSION AND
ADORATION, BUT IT MAY NOT ALWAYS
00:44:10.18\00:44:20.32
FEEL LIKE THAT. BUT
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T
00:44:20.32\00:44:23.79
LOVE THEM ANYMORE. AND
WHEN GOD BAPTIZES YOU WITH
00:44:23.79\00:44:27.50
THE HOLY SPIRIT, IT IS
THE SEALING OF A COVENANT.
00:44:27.50\00:44:30.70
YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS FEEL IT,
BECAUSE WHEN GOD FILLS YOU WITH
00:44:30.70\00:44:34.74
THE SPIRIT, IT'S FOR
A JOB YOU HAVE TO DO.
00:44:34.74\00:44:37.21
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER
- MAYBE A CRUDER EXAMPLE.
00:44:37.21\00:44:39.91
WHEN WAS SAMSON
FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT?
00:44:39.91\00:44:43.98
WHEN THERE WAS
A BATTLE TO FIGHT.
00:44:43.98\00:44:47.55
GOD DID NOT GIVE SAMSON
SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH TO KILL A
00:44:47.55\00:44:51.52
THOUSAND MEN WHEN HE DIDN'T
NEED TO KILL A THOUSAND MEN.
00:44:51.52\00:44:55.06
HE DIDN'T GIVE HIM STRENGTH TO
KILL A LION WHEN HE DIDN'T NEED
00:44:55.06\00:44:57.33
TO KILL A LION. BUT
IT SAYS, 'WHEN A LION
00:44:57.33\00:44:59.93
ROARED, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
CAME ON HIM AND GAVE HIM THE
00:44:59.93\00:45:03.97
STRENGTH FOR THE BATTLE THAT
DAY.' SO YOU MAY BE WALKING IN
00:45:03.97\00:45:08.64
THE SPIRIT NOW - I HOPE YOU ARE
- AND GOD WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH
00:45:08.64\00:45:13.11
THE SPIRIT AS YOU NEED THE
POWER TO DO THE WORK OF GOD.
00:45:13.11\00:45:17.55
WHATEVER YOUR GIFTS ARE, HE
WILL EMPOWER YOU FOR AS THE NEED
00:45:17.55\00:45:20.15
COMES. SO THE DISCIPLES, IT CAME
IN WAVES, AS THEY NEEDED IT.
00:45:20.15\00:45:25.25
THERE'S ANOTHER TIME WHEN PAUL
WAS SPEAKING AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:45:25.25\00:45:29.92
CAME UPON HIM - WELL, LET ME SEE
HERE, ACTS 9:17, "AND ANANIAS
00:45:29.92\00:45:40.30
WENT HIS WAY AND ENTERED THE
HOUSE; AND LAYING HIS HANDS ON
00:45:40.30\00:45:42.70
HIM HE SAID, 'BROTHER SAUL, THE
LORD JESUS, WHO APPEARED TO YOU
00:45:42.70\00:45:45.87
ON THE ROAD AS YOU CAME,
HAS SENT ME THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE
00:45:45.87\00:45:48.98
YOUR SIGHT AND BE FILLED WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT.'" WHY WAS PAUL
00:45:48.98\00:45:52.18
FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT?
BECAUSE GOD SAID, 'I'M GOING
00:45:52.18\00:45:55.02
TO SEND YOU OUT
PREACHING. AND THEN HE WAS
00:45:55.02\00:45:58.15
BAPTIZED AFTER THAT. YOU
NOTICE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:45:58.15\00:46:02.42
CAME TO PAUL AFTER
HE SPENT DAYS PRAYING.
00:46:02.42\00:46:05.49
NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU WANT
THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT?
00:46:05.49\00:46:08.03
HOW DO YOU GET
IT? ACTS CHAPTER 2,
00:46:08.03\00:46:12.33
THE DISCIPLES WERE PRAYING.
ACTS CHAPTER 4, WHEN THE PLACE
00:46:12.33\00:46:16.40
WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED
WAS SHAKEN - DID YOU READ?
00:46:16.40\00:46:20.91
YOU GO AHEAD. IT'S
YOUR - WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:46:20.91\00:46:23.68
HIM DO ACTS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 31
- HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT COME?
00:46:23.68\00:46:29.92
>>"AND WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, THE
PLACE WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED
00:46:29.92\00:46:32.62
TOGETHER WAS SHAKEN; AND THEY
WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY
00:46:32.62\00:46:35.69
SPIRIT, AND THEY SPOKE THE
WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS."
00:46:35.69\00:46:39.29
>>NOW I ALREADY ALLUDED TO THIS,
BUT I WANT TO EMPHASIZE, WHEN
00:46:39.29\00:46:41.23
THEY PRAYED. ACTS 2,
THEY PRAYED - HOLY SPIRIT.
00:46:41.23\00:46:45.80
ACTS 4, THEY PRAYED - HOLY
SPIRIT. PAUL PRAYED - HE SPENT
00:46:45.80\00:46:49.40
THREE DAYS PRAYING - HOLY SPIRIT
CAME. SO THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMES
00:46:49.40\00:46:54.01
IN RESPONSE TO
PRAYER. WHAT ELSE BRINGS
00:46:54.01\00:46:55.58
THE HOLY SPIRIT?
PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD.
00:46:55.58\00:46:59.48
ACTS 2:37, "NOW WHEN THEY
HEARD THIS," - THE APOSTLES WERE
00:46:59.48\00:47:03.45
PREACHING - "THEY WERE CUT TO
THE HEART, AND SAID TO PETER AND
00:47:03.45\00:47:06.22
THE REST OF THE APOSTLES, 'MEN
AND BRETHREN, WHAT SHALL WE DO?'
00:47:06.22\00:47:09.19
THEN PETER SAID TO THEM,
'REPENT, AND LET EVERY ONE OF
00:47:09.19\00:47:12.06
YOU BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF
JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION
00:47:12.06\00:47:16.23
OF SINS; AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:47:16.23\00:47:20.34
NOW, I BELIEVE
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE HERE.
00:47:20.34\00:47:23.47
PAUL SAYS, AT PENTECOST, TO THE
GENERAL CROWD THAT IS LISTENING,
00:47:23.47\00:47:27.14
'IF YOU REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND
YOU ARE BAPTIZED, YOU ARE GOING
00:47:27.14\00:47:30.35
TO GET THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT.'
IS THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT THE
00:47:30.35\00:47:33.48
SAME THING AS THE
BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT?
00:47:33.48\00:47:36.79
I DON'T THINK SO. THE
BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT IS AN
00:47:36.79\00:47:39.65
ALL-SATURATED
FILLING OF THE SPIRIT.
00:47:39.65\00:47:42.22
THERE'S A GIFT OF THE SPIRIT
THAT IS GIVEN TO EVERY BELIEVER.
00:47:42.22\00:47:45.43
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE
FORGIVEN WHEN YOU'RE BAPTIZED IN
00:47:45.43\00:47:49.60
WATER? >>BY FAITH.
00:47:49.60\00:47:51.97
>>BECAUSE GOD SAID SO. HE
SAID, 'REPENT, BE BAPTIZED,
00:47:51.97\00:47:56.04
IF YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS HE
IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO CLEANSE
00:47:56.04\00:47:59.41
YOU FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.'
HE SAID IT; I BELIEVE IT.
00:47:59.41\00:48:02.88
ISN'T THAT WHAT IT
MEANS? RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH?
00:48:02.88\00:48:05.25
SO, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU
GET THE HOLY SPIRIT AT BAPTISM?
00:48:05.25\00:48:10.59
SAME WAY. HE SAID IT. YOU
BELIEVE IT, YOU RECEIVE IT.
00:48:10.59\00:48:15.12
HOW DO YOU GET PEACE
AFTER YOU'RE BAPTIZED?
00:48:15.12\00:48:16.73
BECAUSE GOD MADE A
PROMISE THAT I'M FORGIVEN.
00:48:16.73\00:48:18.39
I BELIEVE HIS PROMISE; THAT
BRINGS GREAT PEACE TO ME - THAT
00:48:18.39\00:48:21.73
MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN. I
FEEL BETTER BECAUSE I BELIEVE.
00:48:21.73\00:48:26.90
YOU SEE, WE
ALWAYS GET IT BACKWARDS.
00:48:26.90\00:48:28.00
WE WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING
AND THEN WE START BELIEVING.
00:48:28.00\00:48:29.97
GOD SAYS, 'NO, YOU BELIEVE
AND THEN YOU START TO FEEL
00:48:29.97\00:48:31.31
SOMETHING. SO,
HOW DO YOU RECEIVE
00:48:31.31\00:48:35.11
THE HOLY SPIRIT? I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
00:48:35.11\00:48:36.95
BAPTISM - THE GIFT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:48:36.95\00:48:39.81
GOD PROMISED; YOU BELIEVE
IT, AND THEN YOU EXPERIENCE IT.
00:48:39.81\00:48:45.02
AND YOU WILL NEED IT, BECAUSE
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:48:45.02\00:48:48.79
MAY BE FOR PROCLAMATION; THE
GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO
00:48:48.79\00:48:51.99
LIVE THE LIFE. AFTER
JESUS IS BAPTIZED, HE
00:48:51.99\00:48:55.40
GOES IN THE WILDERNESS
AND HE'S TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:48:55.40\00:48:57.50
WHY DOES JESUS NEED
THE HOLY SPIRIT THERE?
00:48:57.50\00:49:00.07
TO PREACH OR TO
WALK A VICTORIOUS WALK?
00:49:00.07\00:49:04.14
AND SO, THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT
IS GIVEN TO EVERY BELIEVER SO
00:49:04.14\00:49:07.88
THAT YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:49:07.88\00:49:10.98
IS TO DO THE
WORK IN A SPECIAL WAY.
00:49:10.98\00:49:13.98
NOW, I BELIEVE THAT MANY OF HIS
HERE HAVE THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT
00:49:13.98\00:49:16.58
- I'D LIKE TO
BELIEVE YOU ALL DO.
00:49:16.58\00:49:18.65
IT MIGHT BE PRESUMPTUOUS FOR ME
TO SAY THAT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT
00:49:18.65\00:49:21.96
WHEN YOU'RE BAPTIZED AND YOU
MAKE THAT DECISION, GOD GIVES
00:49:21.96\00:49:24.63
YOU THE GIFT AND THAT GIFT
IS MANIFESTED DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:49:24.63\00:49:27.86
SO, I NEED TO MOVE ALONG HERE.
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE'S GOING TO
00:49:27.86\00:49:31.17
READ FOR ME 1 JOHN 2:4 -
JUST A MOMENT, I'M GOING TO
00:49:31.17\00:49:34.27
FIRST READ ACTS 5:32.
WHAT IS THE CONDITION FOR
00:49:34.27\00:49:38.51
RECEIVING THE
HOLY SPIRIT? OBEDIENCE.
00:49:38.51\00:49:42.94
ACTS 5:32, PETER SAYS, "AND
WE ARE HIS WITNESSES TO THESE
00:49:42.94\00:49:46.82
THINGS, AND SO ALSO IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN TO
00:49:46.82\00:49:52.05
THOSE WHO OBEY HIM."
NOW, IS THAT A DEEP, MYSTICAL
00:49:52.05\00:49:55.06
THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT? >>NO.
00:49:55.06\00:49:57.43
>>"THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM GOD HAS
GIVEN TO THOSE THAT OBEY HIM."
00:49:57.43\00:49:59.49
OR IS THAT SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND?
00:49:59.49\00:50:03.47
LET ME READ ANOTHER
ONE, JOHN 14:15, JESUS SAID,
00:50:03.47\00:50:06.97
"IF YOU LOVE ME,
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:50:06.97\00:50:09.20
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT PART - KEEP
READING - GO THROUGH VERSE 17,
00:50:09.20\00:50:14.41
"AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER, AND
HE WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER HELPER,
00:50:14.41\00:50:18.75
THAT HE MADE ABIDE WITH
YOU" - FROM TIME TO TIME?
00:50:18.75\00:50:21.85
- "FOREVER - THE SPIRIT OF
TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT
00:50:21.85\00:50:24.89
RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES
HIM NOR KNOWS HIM; BUT YOU KNOW
00:50:24.89\00:50:28.22
HIM, FOR HE DWELLS WITH
YOU AND WILL BE IN YOU."
00:50:28.22\00:50:30.86
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU
LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
00:50:30.86\00:50:33.26
I WILL PRAY THE FATHER AND
HE WILL SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT.'
00:50:33.26\00:50:35.16
NOTICE THE CONNECTION - KEEP
MY COMMANDMENTS - BECAUSE GOD
00:50:35.16\00:50:37.43
DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE THAT POWER
TO SOMEONE IN REBELLION BECAUSE
00:50:37.43\00:50:40.90
YOU'LL MISUSE THE
POWER. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
00:50:40.90\00:50:43.20
>>IT'S A GIFT OF THE SPIRIT.
IT'S A PERSON OF THE SPIRIT.
00:50:43.20\00:50:47.04
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
PLEASE READ 1 JOHN 2:4.
00:50:47.04\00:50:50.01
>>"HE WHO SAYS, 'I KNOW
HIM,' AND DOES NOT KEEP HIS
00:50:50.01\00:50:54.12
COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR,
AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM."
00:50:54.12\00:50:58.59
>>SO, DOES GOD GIVE THE POWER
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE THAT
00:50:58.59\00:51:02.39
SAY, 'I DON'T INTEND TO BE
FULLY SURRENDERED AND OBEY'?
00:51:02.39\00:51:07.23
HE WANTS US TO
BE WILLING TO OBEY.
00:51:07.23\00:51:08.43
NOW, DOES THAT MEAN THAT IF
SOMEONE SLIPS AND FALLS OR THEY
00:51:08.43\00:51:11.77
MAKE A MISTAKE, THAT
GOD WITHDRAWS THE SPIRIT
00:51:11.77\00:51:15.60
IMMEDIATELY? NO, I
DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE.
00:51:15.60\00:51:18.37
FIRST OF ALL, THE HOLY
SPIRIT WILL BE THERE TO CONVICT.
00:51:18.37\00:51:20.51
DAVID SINNED IN A BIG WAY WITH
BATHSHEBA AND HE SAID, 'TAKE NOT
00:51:20.51\00:51:25.55
YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM
ME.' THE HOLY SPIRIT LED HIM TO
00:51:25.55\00:51:28.85
REPENTANCE WHERE HE SAID, 'I
HAVE SINNED.' DID PETER HAVE THE
00:51:28.85\00:51:34.46
HOLY SPIRIT
AFTER PENTECOST? >>YES.
00:51:34.46\00:51:37.43
>>DID PETER MAKE A MISTAKE IN
SHOWING PARTIALITY TO THE JEWISH
00:51:37.43\00:51:41.10
BELIEVERS? DID PAUL
HAVE TO REBUKE HIM FOR THAT?
00:51:41.10\00:51:43.50
AND THERE WERE PROBABLY OTHER
THINGS AS, YOU KNOW, THINGS
00:51:43.50\00:51:45.27
RECORDED IN THE BIBLE. WAS PAUL
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT? DID
00:51:45.27\00:51:48.40
PAUL HAVE A SERIOUS ARGUMENT
WITH BARNABAS ABOUT WHETHER OR
00:51:48.40\00:51:51.41
NOT MARK SHOULD GO ALONG?
HERE THESE TWO APOSTLES ARE
00:51:51.41\00:51:54.38
READY TO SLUG IT OUT
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AGREE.
00:51:54.38\00:51:57.38
THEY'RE GOING TO GO TALK TO
OTHERS ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS
00:51:57.38\00:51:58.81
AND THEY CAN'T GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER - THEY ARGUE ABOUT
00:51:58.81\00:52:01.98
MARK - AND THEN PAUL LATER SAYS
HE WAS WRONG, THAT MARK - HE
00:52:01.98\00:52:06.82
SAYS, 'SEND MARK, HE'S
PROFITABLE TO ME IN THE GOSPEL.'
00:52:06.82\00:52:11.03
AND SO, THEY WERE HUMAN,
BUT THEY WALKED IN THE SPIRIT.
00:52:11.03\00:52:15.93
THEY KEPT SHORT ACCOUNTS WITH
THE LORD WHEN THEY SINNED, THAT
00:52:15.93\00:52:18.47
THE SPIRIT WOULD CONVICT
THEM AND THEY WOULD IMMEDIATELY
00:52:18.47\00:52:20.54
REPENT. AND GOD
SAYS HE WILL ABIDE WITH
00:52:20.54\00:52:24.84
YOU - THE SPIRIT ABIDES WITH
YOU - BUT A WILLINGNESS TO OBEY.
00:52:24.84\00:52:29.18
1 JOHN 3:24, "NOW HE WHO KEEPS
HIS COMMANDMENTS ABIDES IN HIM,
00:52:29.18\00:52:34.55
AND HE IN HIM. AND
BY THIS WE KNOW THAT HE
00:52:34.55\00:52:37.72
ABIDES IN US, BY THE
SPIRIT WHOM HE HAS GIVEN US."
00:52:37.72\00:52:42.36
A WILLINGNESS TO OBEY -
THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE KNOW.
00:52:42.36\00:52:45.23
IF A PERSON SAYS, 'I'M SPIRIT
FILLED' AND THEY'RE LIVING IN
00:52:45.23\00:52:47.23
REBELLION - PROBABLY NOT.
AND THE REASON THAT GOD GIVES US
00:52:47.23\00:52:52.70
THE SPIRIT IS TO PROCLAIM
THE WORD - FOR WITNESSING.
00:52:52.70\00:52:55.94
ACTS 1:8, "BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE
POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS
00:52:55.94\00:52:58.84
COME UPON YOU; AND YOU
SHALL BE WITNESSES TO ME".
00:52:58.84\00:53:02.81
LUKE 24:48, "AND YOU ARE
WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS.
00:53:02.81\00:53:06.15
BEHOLD, I SEND THE PROMISE OF
MY FATHER UPON YOU;" - HE SAYS,
00:53:06.15\00:53:09.88
'I'M GIVING YOU THE PROMISE
SO YOU CAN BE MY WITNESSES.'
00:53:09.88\00:53:12.62
ALRIGHT,
SELF-CENTERED LIVING VS.
00:53:12.62\00:53:14.49
CHRIST-CENTERED LIVING
IS THE LAST SECTION HERE.
00:53:14.49\00:53:18.63
AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO
READ WHAT IT SAYS IN GALATIANS
00:53:18.63\00:53:21.20
5:16, BECAUSE THIS IS SO CLEAR.
00:53:21.20\00:53:23.57
I'M GOING TO READ THROUGH VERSE
26, "I SAY THEN: WALK IN THE
00:53:23.57\00:53:27.74
SPIRIT, AND YOU SHALL NOT
FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH.
00:53:27.74\00:53:31.21
FOR THE FLESH LUSTS AGAINST THE
SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST
00:53:31.21\00:53:34.14
THE FLESH;" - THEY'RE NOT
GETTING ALONG WITH EACH OTHER.
00:53:34.14\00:53:36.75
THEY'RE CONTRARY TO ONE ANOTHER.
THERE'S AN ENMITY BETWEEN THE
00:53:36.75\00:53:41.38
SPIRIT AND THE FLESH -
BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND THE
00:53:41.38\00:53:45.12
WORD AND THE WORLD.
"BUT IF YOU ARE LED BY THE
00:53:45.12\00:53:49.02
SPIRIT, YOU ARE
NOT UNDER THE LAW." -
00:53:49.02\00:53:50.73
YOU'RE NOT UNDER THE PENALTY OF
THE LAW IF YOU'RE SPIRIT LED -
00:53:50.73\00:53:53.36
"NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE
EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: ADULTERY,
00:53:53.36\00:53:57.27
FORNICATION, UNCLEANNESS,
LEWDNESS, IDOLATRY, SORCERY,
00:53:57.27\00:54:00.37
HATRED, CONTENTIONS, JEALOUSIES,
OUTBURSTS OF WRATH, SELFISH
00:54:00.37\00:54:05.11
AMBITIONS, DISSENSIONS,
HERESIES, ENVY, MURDERS,
00:54:05.11\00:54:08.44
DRUNKENNESS, REVELRIES, AND THE
LIKE;" - HE SAYS THIS IS NOT AN
00:54:08.44\00:54:11.41
EXHAUSTIVE LIST - 'AND THINGS
LIKE THIS' - "OF WHICH I TELL
00:54:11.41\00:54:14.62
YOU BEFOREHAND, JUST AS I
ALSO TOLD YOU IN TIME PAST, THAT
00:54:14.62\00:54:17.62
THOSE WHO PRACTICE SUCH THINGS
WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF
00:54:17.62\00:54:20.36
GOD." - THERE'S
TO BE AN OBEDIENCE IN
00:54:20.36\00:54:22.79
THE LIFE - "BUT THE FRUIT OF
THE SPIRIT" - BY CONTRAST - "IS
00:54:22.79\00:54:28.30
LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING,
KINDNESS, GOODNESS,
00:54:28.30\00:54:33.13
FAITHFULNESS,
GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL."
00:54:33.13\00:54:35.87
- BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT AND YOU
00:54:35.87\00:54:38.67
LOOK IN 1 CORINTHIANS 13 AT THE
DESCRIPTION OF LOVE, THERE'S A
00:54:38.67\00:54:42.34
LOT OF OVERLAP THERE WHERE PAUL
DEFINES AND DESCRIBES LOVE -
00:54:42.34\00:54:48.45
"AND THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S HAVE
CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH ITS
00:54:48.45\00:54:51.89
PASSIONS AND DESIRES. IF
WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET
00:54:51.89\00:54:55.12
US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
LET US NOT BECOME CONCEITED,
00:54:55.12\00:54:58.36
PROVOKING ONE
ANOTHER, ENVYING ONE ANOTHER."
00:54:58.36\00:55:02.36
AND ONE LAST VERSE I'LL GIVE YOU
HERE, AND THIS IS ROMANS 8:6,
00:55:02.36\00:55:07.50
"FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED
IS DEATH, BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY
00:55:07.50\00:55:11.27
MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE.
BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS
00:55:11.27\00:55:15.04
ENMITY AGAINST GOD; FOR IT
IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF
00:55:15.04\00:55:17.85
GOD, NOR INDEED CAN BE.
SO THEN, THOSE WHO ARE IN
00:55:17.85\00:55:20.82
THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD.
BUT YOU ARE NOT IN THE FLESH BUT
00:55:20.82\00:55:23.92
IN THE SPIRIT, IF INDEED
THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU.
00:55:23.92\00:55:27.39
NOW IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NOT
00:55:27.39\00:55:31.49
HIS." SO I
CLOSE WHERE I STARTED.
00:55:31.49\00:55:34.46
IS BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
AN OPTION OR, AT LEAST HAVING
00:55:34.46\00:55:40.14
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT? - IT'S
NOT OPTIONAL, IT'S MANDATORY.
00:55:40.14\00:55:44.31
IT SAYS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE
SPIRIT OF CHRIST, YOU'RE NONE OF
00:55:44.31\00:55:46.07
HIS. WE NEED TO PRAY
THAT WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:55:46.07\00:55:49.51
IT'S LIKE - IT SAYS THERE IN
ZECHARIAH, 'I PRAY FOR RAIN IN
00:55:49.51\00:55:53.62
THE TIME OF THE LATTER RAIN
AND THE LORD'LL SEND FLASHING
00:55:53.62\00:55:55.98
CLOUDS.' WE NEED TO BE ASKING
FOR THE OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT
