00:07 Mending broken people 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Removing pain 00:23 Lord, let my words 00:30 Heal a heart that hurts 00:34 I want to spend my life 00:40 Mending broken people 00:45 I want to spend my life 00:51 Mending broken people 01:07 Hello, I'm Shelley Quinn. 01:08 I'm JD Quinn. 01:10 And we are so happy that you're joining us 01:12 for this Sabbath family worship 01:15 and it's just been a wonderful week 01:19 but it's been a tiring week. 01:20 Has it not? 01:21 It just seems like we keep getting busier and busier. 01:23 So it's always so wonderful at the time of the Sabbath 01:27 just to stop, breathe in 01:31 and just remember how totally dependent 01:33 we are upon the Lord for our gift of salvation. 01:36 So, it's something that's very special. 01:38 And tonight, what we're going to be talking about 01:41 is about being filled in Christ. 01:45 How we are completely filled in Christ. 01:48 And let me introduce those that are at our table. 01:51 I'm gonna start on this end. 01:52 We have Johnny Dinzey with us. 01:54 And, Johnny, you are the general manager 01:57 for the Latino network of 3ABN. 02:00 Yes. By God's grace and I'm happy to be here. 02:03 How many years? 02:04 27 years. 02:05 27. Wow. 02:07 Praise the Lord. 02:08 And next to you is your lovely wife 02:11 who is the assistant to the general manager, 02:15 to your husband. 02:17 That's right. 02:18 But you're also, 02:20 you do a lot of cooking programs 02:21 and you host a lot of programs with Johnny. 02:22 Yes. 02:24 And now you are speaking when you go out. 02:25 You all do a lot of traveling. 02:26 Yes. Yes. 02:28 You know the Lord has a sense of humor. 02:29 I say, Lord, why? 02:33 But I'm willing, you know. 02:35 And it's incredible how our own personal experiences 02:38 with the Lord blesses so many other people. 02:41 And we feel, well, I better not share this 02:45 because it's so personal. 02:46 But that's probably the Lord prompting your heart to share. 02:49 Absolutely. 02:50 Because there is someone in that crowd that 02:51 just needs that story or that experience. 02:54 I'll never forget we were at Eden Valley. 02:57 Yes. 02:58 And we were all there and we were all going 03:00 to the wellness center to try to just, you know, 03:02 regenerate our health and here are the Dinzey's. 03:06 And with the Dinzey's, with Johnny and Idalia, 03:10 there were their two sons. 03:11 Yes. 03:12 And I'll never forget, it was a Sabbath morning 03:14 and we were all participating in different ways, 03:16 and so you all had something to say, 03:18 and then the two boys, 03:21 they came up and played the guitar 03:23 and played the piano. 03:25 That touched my heart. 03:27 That inspired me 03:28 because that's what families are supposed to do things... 03:30 Amen. 03:31 Of all the family members. 03:33 Glory to God. Yeah. 03:34 And they both love the Lord today. 03:36 Amen. Yeah. 03:38 Amen. Praise the Lord. 03:39 God blessed you as parents for sure, yes. 03:40 Amen. 03:42 You're very good parents. 03:43 And then we have Luis Capote, who is 3ABN's program director. 03:47 Yes. 03:48 It is so good to be here. 03:50 Finally, it is like you said, it was a difficult week. 03:54 But we are so grateful that 03:56 God continues to work through us. 04:00 You know, I keep on getting phone calls from individuals, 04:02 how they are blessed from the programming, 04:04 how they are blessed from this particular program. 04:06 How they feel that they're part of us, 04:09 how we're one big family and they're so grateful, 04:13 and it's wonderful to be able to experience, 04:15 that is nerve wrecking 04:17 because there is so much responsibilities. 04:19 There is so many, you know, 04:21 they look at you sometimes 04:22 with a different set of eyes that you, 04:24 that you know, you know, 04:25 it's only through the Holy Spirit 04:27 that you're capable of working. 04:29 That's right. 04:30 But it has been absolute blessing 04:32 because the Holy Spirit is definitely in this place. 04:35 Amen. Amen. 04:36 And we are just very glad that 04:38 you and your wife are here with us Xenia. 04:40 And then we have Tim Parton, and Tim is the general manager 04:45 for the Praise Him music channel. 04:47 Right, right. 04:49 It's a pleasure for me to be here and among you 04:52 and I'm discussing this topic of the fullness of Christ 04:55 and already being able to see that fullness 04:57 seeping out of you in your lives 05:00 and that's where it's, 05:01 that's where we are is living our daily life 05:04 and that's where the world needs 05:06 to see the fullness of Christ. 05:07 Amen. Amen. 05:08 Seeping out of us by the way, He's moved and blessed us. 05:12 Amen. Amen. 05:14 I'm excited. 05:15 Well, we just want to, 05:17 if we could introduce each and everyone of you, 05:19 we would but just know you are part of the family, 05:22 and what we'd like to do on Sabbath 05:24 for Sabbath worship is, 05:26 for family worship is just get together 05:28 and discuss the scriptures 05:30 which is what we're going to be doing tonight. 05:31 But first let's start with a prayer of praise 05:36 and we'd just go around in no particular order 05:38 but JD, would you like to start us? 05:40 Most certainly. 05:41 Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus. 05:43 We thank You for this wonderful evening. 05:45 Dear father, an evening that we come together 05:48 and that we can talk about You. 05:50 Most specifically Lord, 05:51 the fullness of Christ that's available for each one of us. 05:55 And so, Father, I need to say thank You 05:58 as we're nearing the Sabbath time 06:00 and that we dedicate this time to You and for You. 06:04 Father, we thank You 06:06 for giving us the opportunity 06:07 to be able to return to You all the blessings 06:12 and then come to Your throne of grace 06:15 and to be able to give You thanks and praises, 06:17 Lord, because You are mighty, You are great, 06:20 You are powerful, 06:21 and You have done so much for us 06:23 and through us and we ask Lord that today, 06:26 we're no different that you so lift us Lord 06:29 to be able to glorify 06:31 and to be able to come to Your throne, 06:32 and to be able to call you Abba, Papa. 06:35 And I thank You Father for that opportunity. 06:37 Amen. 06:41 Oh, Lord, we praise You for who You are. 06:44 And we praise You because You are all powerful. 06:47 But more than that, we praise You for Your glory, 06:50 for Your infinitely perfect character, 06:54 and for Your holiness Lord, 06:56 and we just thank You that You are a God of love. 07:01 We thank You 07:03 that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing 07:06 in heavenly realms through Christ Jesus. 07:08 And, Father, we want to invite You 07:12 to be our special guest here tonight. 07:15 We ask that Your Holy Spirit will direct 07:19 and we pray that the words of our mouth 07:23 and the meditations of our heart 07:24 will be pleasing unto You. 07:26 So I pray, Father, 07:28 that You will empty our minds 07:30 of all the challenges of this week. 07:33 All the situations that have distracted our attention 07:37 and our focus in You. 07:39 So we thank You for the Sabbath hours 07:42 that we can rejoice in it, and draw closer to You, 07:46 and get to know You more. 07:50 God, we are reminded that the world is searching 07:54 for completeness and fullness 07:57 and looking in different tactics 07:59 and methods and trying to figure out 08:01 how to get it all done. 08:04 Lord, it's so relaxing knowing that we are complete in You. 08:08 You are everything we need and we want to rest in that 08:12 and continue to grow in the knowledge of that. 08:16 Yes. Amen. 08:18 And heavenly Father, 08:19 as we consider Your goodness and mercy. 08:23 Help us Lord to be drawn to You, 08:26 that we may enjoy all of the blessings 08:30 You have for us. 08:32 And thank You Father that in you, 08:34 we have peace. 08:36 Amen. Amen. 08:38 Thank you Father, in Jesus' name, amen. 08:40 Amen. Amen. 08:41 Okay. 08:42 Well, we're going to begin with a song. 08:44 So we'll have Tim is going to slip away 08:47 to the piano right now and he's such... 08:51 God has gifted him. 08:52 We're so blessed to have Tim with us. 08:55 We're going to sing one of my favorites 08:57 and I think all of us can say that at this table. 09:00 It's Fill My Cup Lord. It's no. 09:02 493 in the Seventh-day Adventist hymnal. 09:06 But the words should be on the screen, 09:07 so we want you to sing with us. 09:11 Not that we are all that greater singers 09:13 but we're going to make a joyful noise to the Lord. 09:16 So join in song with us now. 09:27 Like the Woman at the well 09:31 I was seeking 09:35 For things that could not satisfy 09:43 And then I heard my Savior speaking: 09:53 "Draw from My well that never shall run dry" 09:58 Fill my cup, Lord, 10:02 I lift it up Lord! 10:05 Come and quench 10:08 This thirsting of my soul 10:13 Bread of heaven feed me 10:17 Till I want no more 10:22 Fill my cup 10:24 Fill it up and make me whole! 10:31 So, my children, 10:33 If the things this world gave you 10:38 Leave hungers 10:41 That won't go away 10:46 My blessed Lord will come 10:50 And save you 10:53 If you kneel to Him 10:57 And humbly pray 11:02 Fill my cup, Lord 11:05 I lift it up Lord! 11:09 Come and quench 11:12 This thirsting of my soul 11:17 Bread of heaven feed me till 11:22 I want no more 11:27 Fill my cup 11:30 Fill it up and make me whole! 11:40 God bless. 11:41 You know, of course this comes from the story 11:44 in John Chapter 4 where the lady, 11:48 the woman at the well is talking with Jesus 11:52 and he tells her, He will give her water 11:56 that she'll never thirst again. 11:57 Amen. 11:59 And my favorite part is John Chapter 4, I think, 12:01 it's verse 10, 12:02 where He says to her 12:05 if only you knew the gift of God 12:09 and who it is that's speaking to you, 12:12 you would ask Him 12:14 and He would give you of this living water. 12:17 And in my sanctified imagination, 12:19 I see Jesus with His arms outstretched saying, 12:23 oh, woman, if only you knew, 12:26 I am the gift of God. 12:29 You know, and so I just love that song. 12:31 I love it. We too. 12:32 Well, what we're going to do, what I'd like to do first, 12:35 I'm not taking a scripture because I talk too much anyway. 12:38 So we're gonna let you all read the scriptures. 12:40 But what we've done is I strongly believe 12:45 that we should speak the word of God over us, 12:48 the power of death and life is in our tongue, 12:50 the Bible says. 12:52 And I think that there is time set, 12:54 we forget that all of God's promises are 12:56 ours in Christ Jesus. 12:58 And if we will learn to pray the scriptures over our lives, 13:03 over our children's lives, 13:04 speak the word of God into Gray and Eli's life, 13:08 as you speak, and I know you've done that. 13:10 Oh, yes. 13:11 You know, with Caleb and Samuel, 13:13 you speak the word of God into their life. 13:15 So what I've done is taken these, 13:17 I believe there is nine scriptures. 13:19 But let me read you as an affirmation, 13:21 just taking something from each one of these scriptures, 13:25 what you can say. 13:27 I'm gonna do it in the first person. 13:29 But what you can say to and it's amazing that 13:34 as you speak the word of God, it reprograms your brain. 13:38 Amen. Really powerful. 13:39 It is powerful. 13:41 It's alive and active. 13:43 So, and we're gonna give you all the scriptures 13:45 to support this because sometimes 13:47 the promises sound too good to be true. 13:50 In Christ, I'm complete. 13:53 I have received of His fullness. 13:55 I'm ever being filled with the spirit. 13:59 I'm filled with His love. 14:01 I'm filled with His word. 14:03 I am filled with the knowledge of His will. 14:07 I am filled with the humility of Jesus. 14:11 I am filled with fruits of righteousness. 14:14 I am filled with joy, peace and hope. 14:18 I'm filled with comfort. Amen. 14:21 We are completely filled in Christ, amen? 14:24 Amen. 14:25 So, Johnny, why don't you take our first scripture, 14:28 it's Colossians 2:9-10. 14:31 Why don't you read that 14:34 and just give us some of your thoughts. 14:36 Colossians 2: 9-10, 14:39 and we encourage you to get your Bibles at home 14:41 and follow along with us. 14:43 In Colossians 2: 9 and 10, we have the following words. 14:47 "For in him, dwell all the fullness 14:51 of the Godhead bodily 14:54 and ye are complete in him. 14:56 We're just the head of all principality and power. 15:01 Amen. 15:02 Well, I think, we can spend several days... 15:06 Yeah. 15:07 And that's the truth. 15:08 Talking about these words that are so full of meaning, 15:12 so rich that 15:16 we are not going to be able to fully 15:18 comprehend these things here. 15:20 When you talk about Jesus 'cause it says, 15:22 for in him dwelleth 15:24 and you think about the word dwelleth, 15:25 what does dwelleth mean? 15:27 Dwelleth means that you reside, 15:31 reside in and not on a temporary basis 15:34 but on a continuing basis. 15:37 It reminds me of Revelation 21 15:40 that says that God will dwell... 15:44 How beautiful. With us. 15:45 So this is something that is permanently in Christ. 15:48 In him dwelleth all the fullness of the deity 15:53 or Godhead bodily. 15:55 So in a bodily form, 15:57 you have all the fullness of God and Jesus. 16:00 So many scriptures come to mind as you know, 16:03 you think of these words. 16:04 When you see John 1. 16:08 In John 1, it says, in the beginning was the word 16:12 and the word was with God, and the word was God. 16:17 And later, it says, 16:19 and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. 16:22 So now, here Paul is trying to help people understand 16:27 that this Jesus, 16:28 even though He look like everyone else, 16:30 in Him dwelleth all the fullness 16:33 of the Godhead bodily. 16:35 And I also think of Matthew 28, 16:38 when Jesus tells His disciples, all what? 16:43 All power and authority is given unto Me 16:45 in heaven and earth. 16:47 So the context of these verses is, 16:50 He's trying to help us understand 16:52 that we need not fear, we need not worry, 16:56 we need not doubt, 16:58 because in Him dwelleth 16:59 all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, 17:01 and notice the last parts of the verse 17:03 which are very powerful as well. 17:06 And you are complete in Him 17:08 who is this all powerful being, 17:12 and you are complete in Him 17:13 which is the head of all principality and power. 17:16 So whatever power principalities are, 17:18 is out there, 17:20 you can walk with assurance that His victory, 17:23 the victory that He had is ours. 17:27 And in Him, we do not have to fear. 17:31 That's why, when Paul was able to say, 17:34 I can do all things 17:37 through Christ who dwelleth in me. 17:39 Amen. 17:40 He had the assurance that 17:42 I don't have to depend on myself. 17:46 I can depend on Christ. Amen. 17:49 You know and what I like is, I'm reading now from the NIV. 17:53 Just as happened to be the scripture 17:54 I pulled for that one. 17:56 It says that we have been given, 17:59 it's a gift from God, 18:01 fullness in Christ. 18:03 So it's as Christ dwells in us, Ephesians 3:16-20 18:08 talks about how Christ dwells in us 18:10 through the power of the Holy Spirit. 18:12 See, sometimes, 18:14 sometimes don't you just feel little empty, 18:17 and you feel like, you're messing up or something. 18:20 But if you just know that, 18:24 Satan is trying to rob you of your identity in Christ. 18:26 That's true. 18:28 And all these negative thoughts are coming from him. 18:31 But if we go to the scripture, you can just say, 18:34 Father, thank You that I've been given fullness. 18:38 I've been made complete in Christ. 18:41 He is my righteousness. 18:43 He's my wisdom, my sanctification, he's my, 18:47 you know, redemption. 18:48 So that's why I think it's so important 18:51 that we speak the word of God over our lives. 18:55 I'd like to share an additional thought. 18:57 Sure. 18:59 Here is Goliath. Yeah. 19:03 He's got his full armor on. 19:07 He's got his... 19:08 And who is Goliath? 19:09 For somebody that maybe 19:11 tuning in that's never heard the story? 19:12 Goliath, the giant that challenged 19:14 the people of Israel to battle. 19:16 And he was this over nine foot tall individual. 19:20 I've seen some people 19:22 that are seven feet tall and I go, 19:24 wow, you are, you're a mountain to me. 19:29 But this guy is over nine feet tall 19:32 and he's challenging the people of Israel. 19:33 Now Goliath is a man of war, a warrior. 19:37 He's been trained, he knows how to fight. 19:39 And here comes David. 19:41 Why, he didn't even want to wear the armor 19:43 that Saul had. 19:45 And he's just the little shepherd boy, a young boy. 19:46 No armor, no sword, 19:49 no shield, but just a little staff, 19:55 a shepherd's staff 19:57 and he's got his little gear on the side with few stones. 20:01 And that's why when Goliath sees him, 20:04 am I a dog that you are coming to me with a stick? 20:06 You don't even have a sword to fight. 20:08 You're fighting with a stick. 20:09 In a real battle, 20:11 if you're coming to somebody with a sword, 20:12 even if he's your size, 20:15 you can take that staff he's got 20:17 and cut it up in pieces, 20:18 before he gets anything to you, 20:20 beside you have a shield to protect yourself with. 20:23 So David knows, 20:29 he has put himself completely in the hands of the Lord. 20:32 He's surrendered to the Lord. 20:34 David knows, you're coming to me 20:37 with a sword and with a spear 20:38 and with a shield, 20:40 but I'm coming to you in the strength of the Lord. 20:42 Amen. Yeah. 20:44 So for me, it's a physical, visible thing to realize, 20:49 wow, when Satan comes with whatever, 20:52 whatever, I'm coming, 20:54 I have the strength of the Lord. 20:55 In Him dwelleth 20:57 all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 20:58 You are completing, 20:59 he's got all power and authority. 21:01 So I should not fear. 21:02 I should not fear. 21:04 Greater is he who is in you 21:05 than he who is in the world, right? 21:07 Now, the first thing is catching my attention, 21:09 we started here as is that God is available. 21:13 Amen. 21:14 And, now, here little David was, 21:16 he knew that God was available because he's out there, 21:19 in his mind in wilderness, 21:21 fighting off bears 21:23 and lions to keep from the sheep. 21:24 Yes, that's right. 21:26 And he has defeated those and so he had in his mind, 21:28 he knew that God was available. 21:30 This was just another entity that was there. 21:33 Well, if I can sit here 21:34 and I can handle lions and bears, 21:36 I certainly can handle that, you know. 21:38 In the strength of the Lord 21:40 because he knew that God was available to come 21:43 at anytime and there is... 21:46 I know that there is people that call in quite often. 21:48 Is God real? 21:50 Yes, He's real. 21:51 But the first thing that I think that you have to, 21:56 you have to thank the Lord for is that He's available, 22:01 and then step out in faith and build on that. 22:03 Yes. 22:04 And then we'll come into the fullness. 22:07 Amen. 22:09 I think of owning it, you know. 22:12 We have to own God, He's our God. 22:15 Owning His promises is for me. 22:17 You know, it's just not text read, 22:20 it is real, 22:21 and then once we own it, then we can personalize it. 22:26 And I think that's what makes affirmation 22:28 so powerful is that, 22:29 you can read the same thing over and over 22:32 but when you start speaking it over your life and you pray it. 22:35 Oh, when you are praying God's promises over your life, 22:38 it becomes real. 22:40 You know, I told somebody once that, he say, 22:44 are you say that I have to fake it until I make it? 22:48 And I said, no, you faith it until you make it. 22:52 Amen, good job. 22:53 Faith it until you make it, if they ideal some. 22:56 Right, Luis, why don't you take John 1:16. 22:59 You know, Shelley, before I take that, 23:01 when you were reading your affirmation, 23:03 there is the part that I want to read back. 23:04 It says, I'm filled with the humility of Jesus. 23:07 Again, I'm thinking about being young 23:10 and thinking about being rich 23:11 and all of the things that 23:13 I want to do and all of the wonders. 23:14 And once you are filled with Christ's humility, 23:18 God changes your whole life around, 23:21 and now your values, 23:22 now the things that you want, 23:23 now the things that 23:25 you are desiring are completely changed. 23:27 You know, and now, 23:28 I'll go to the John 1:16 that says, 23:31 for out of his fullness, you know, abundance, 23:36 when he completely, 23:38 when you are completely filled with God, 23:41 the whole world changes, your whole attitude, 23:45 your whole way of thinking, your whole, you know, 23:48 your steps, every step you take, 23:51 every breath you take, 23:52 absolutely makes sense 23:54 because now it's not you operating. 23:56 It's like it says here. 23:58 "For out of his fullness, we have all received, 24:03 all has a share 24:05 and we were all supplied with one grace after another. 24:11 One spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, 24:15 and even favor upon favor 24:17 and gifts, heaped upon gift." 24:22 Isn't that amazing? 24:23 Yes, and that's what individuals don't understand. 24:25 People don't understand. 24:27 When they talk, when you talk, 24:28 they talk to you 24:29 and they are right away talking about, 24:31 oh, you can't, you can't, 24:33 you can't, no. 24:34 Don't worry about the things that I can't do in your eyes. 24:37 Worry about the things that I can do 24:39 that God allows me to do, that God helps. 24:42 Once He fills me, once He is with me, 24:44 look at the amount of change that I can impart. 24:48 You know, yesterday, a couple of days ago, 24:52 Jorge was talking about an experience, 24:53 about a gentleman, 24:54 when he went to Guatemala, 24:56 that he's the elder of the church, 24:58 and he says, you know, two years ago, 25:00 I was the drunk, 25:02 I was actually using your church as a shelter. 25:05 And many churches had kicked me out 25:07 but your church took me in 25:09 and clothed me, and bathed me, 25:10 and now I'm the elder of the church. 25:12 That's what happens 25:13 when you're full with the spirit. 25:14 When you're full with the spirit, 25:16 you're gonna see somebody that's completely, 25:20 that the world has rejected 25:22 and you're going to see an absolute new life 25:26 because you are going to be out of his fullness. 25:29 And this is what is so powerful about this message 25:32 and it's just all powerful about the humility of Christ. 25:35 Once we are humbled with Christ, 25:37 it's just unbelievable the things 25:39 that we get to see. 25:41 Amen, and when you think about, he says here that, 25:43 we get grace upon grace, gift upon gift. 25:46 I think of the greatest gift of God's grace 25:50 is the gift of His Son Jesus Christ 25:52 we didn't deserve that. 25:54 So when, that's His greatest gift of grace, 25:58 then you think of the Holy Spirit. 26:00 Who deserves to have? 26:02 Who deserves to be the temple of the living God 26:05 and have the Holy Spirit live in? 26:07 And you think of the word which James 1:17 says, 26:10 when it's implanted in your heart, 26:12 has the power to save your soul 26:14 that God's revealing Himself to you, 26:16 so that you can fall in love with Him. 26:18 So that's gift upon gift, grace upon grace 26:22 and we can see that God's grace then gives us 26:26 the divine assistance 26:27 and the supernatural power for salvation. 26:30 We cannot save ourselves for certain, 26:34 and speaking of the Holy Spirit, 26:37 why don't you read to us from Ephesians 5:18? 26:41 Okay. 26:42 Out of Ephesians 5:18, 26:44 we are focusing on the second part 26:46 of the verse is, 26:47 "Ever be filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit." 26:53 What can we say about how the Holy Spirit 26:55 moves us or speaks to us. 26:58 We are filled, we listen and we're blessed. 27:03 Because sometimes the Holy Spirit prompts us 27:06 and we don't follow through. 27:08 And then we are remorsing, we're like, 27:11 why didn't I listen to him? 27:13 That was the Holy Spirit, and then we find ourselves, 27:15 I'm sorry, Lord. 27:17 Please speak to me again. 27:19 I want You to speak to me and I want to do Your will. 27:23 So we see the blessing of being filled with the spirit 27:27 and being able to have that successful story, you know, 27:31 that change. 27:33 You know, I was watching some 27:35 history channel not too long ago, 27:37 I don't remember exactly what it was, 27:38 but it was talking about days of Oklahoma and the Dust Bowl, 27:42 when people were just leaving right and left 27:44 because they had sunk all of their last savings 27:47 into this piece of property 27:49 with the hope and ambitions of success. 27:52 And then here came Mother Nature, and boy, 27:56 just everything turned to dust. 27:58 And my brother and I went to the dust, 28:00 in the dust storm the other day, I mean, 28:01 you can't even see in front of you. 28:03 And the wells that they had spent 28:04 hours and hours digging, 28:08 they ran out of water. 28:10 And whenever I was looking at this, you know, 28:12 ever be filled and stimulate with the Holy Spirit, 28:14 I was thinking about that well 28:17 out in that front yard 28:18 that your life depend upon and it never runs dry. 28:23 Never runs dry. 28:25 There is always water in that well. 28:27 So it makes no difference, 28:28 you know, how hungry, you may be, 28:30 but there is always the water. 28:32 And that's what we are talking about here, 28:33 the Holy Spirit. 28:34 He's always available, always. 28:37 And we can't... 28:39 I mean the most important thing we can do each morning 28:41 as we wake up, because we're... 28:43 First of all, if you take this glass of water, 28:45 how much could you see, if you could see this, 28:47 I don't know if they can see it, 28:49 but right now it's about what, three quarters, 28:51 a little more than three quarters full. 28:53 So how much could I pour into this? 28:58 Maybe that much, right? 29:00 So, now it's half empty, 29:05 I can pour half of it, 29:08 fill it with something. 29:09 If I drink it all the way down, 29:14 which I can't do on the camera. 29:16 But my point is, 29:19 we have to be emptied of self to be filled with Holy Spirit. 29:23 And we can only be full of... 29:24 You know, one's talking about 29:26 being filled with the fullness of God. 29:28 It is as we empty ourselves up 29:31 and we can't even do that, it has to be God. 29:33 We have to just go to Him and say, 29:35 help me to yield, Lord, 29:37 help me to put to death 29:40 by the power of the Holy Spirit, 29:41 the misdeeds of my flesh. 29:43 But we can only be filled with the... 29:47 We get a personal dimension of His holiness, 29:49 but only to the degree 29:50 we are willing to yield self in self's way. 29:55 So we can only be as full of Him 29:57 as we are emptied of self. 29:59 Okay. Amen. 30:01 Tim, why don't you read, Romans 5:5, please? 30:04 Right, and again, 30:06 we're taking from the second half. 30:08 For God's love has been poured out in our hearts 30:10 through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 30:15 I love the fact, just reading that again. 30:18 God's love has been poured out 30:21 in our hearts through the Holy Spirit 30:23 who has been given to us. 30:25 In each of these that we are reading, 30:29 it's all about abundance and there is no rationing, 30:34 I'm a minimalist. 30:36 I have very few things, this way I like it. 30:40 One reason is 30:42 because I have a very short attention span, 30:45 and if I have too many things, I forget where I put them. 30:48 I have... 30:50 Once if the car keys that goes right there every time 30:54 and I know where it is. 30:55 On occasions, I have misplaced it 30:57 and I have wasted so much time looking for things 31:01 because I had so many things, 31:02 and so I love the fact 31:05 that all of these verses are talking about 31:08 the best birthday, the best Christmas ever 31:11 that all the gifts, they are all full, 31:14 there is no rationing with God. 31:16 And so the fact that He says, He says He poured, 31:20 His love has been poured out. 31:22 Not just trickled out, right? 31:26 So His love has been poured out in our hearts, 31:31 not in our minds 31:34 because it's not just a mental thing, 31:38 it's an experience, His love, 31:40 I have experienced His love. 31:42 I don't know about your courting days 31:46 or your the days that you dated before you were married. 31:50 But was that, was what sealed the deal, 31:55 just the thought that JD loved you or just you know, 32:02 knowing in your mind, 32:03 you had it on a piece of paper and so, 32:05 well, that's good enough to live with 32:06 and good enough to marry him. 32:08 It was a heart and emotion of feeling. 32:12 And you know, our salvation even as much as 32:15 we have to know in our mind that Christ is our savior, 32:20 we have to know in our heart, 32:22 we have to have experience that, 32:24 and you know, that may be more of a charismatic thought, 32:30 you know, just because 32:31 some people would say, oh, that's, 32:33 you know, those are the feely, the touchy-feely people, 32:35 but it has to be. 32:37 God is certainly a touchy-feely person. 32:38 Absolutely. 32:40 And that's what He's saying, right. 32:41 So it's not just an intellectual thing. 32:44 It is an emotional 32:45 that God's love has been poured out in our hearts 32:47 through the Holy Spirit. 32:49 It was supernaturally. 32:50 Yeah. 32:52 I love the supernaturalness that is just, you know, 32:55 beyond me. 32:57 But the Holy Spirit has been given us. 32:59 And once again though, here we go. 33:02 It's through the power of the Holy Spirit. 33:04 He's not only the spirit of holiness, 33:06 God is love, 33:08 Holy Spirit is God, His will. 33:11 So He's the spirit of love, 33:14 so when the Holy Spirit is in our hearts, 33:16 somebody will ask me and I always answer the same. 33:19 How do you know, 33:20 if you're filled with the Holy Spirit? 33:21 If you are filled with the spirit of divine love, 33:26 that's self sacrificing love. 33:28 Somebody can have all the knowledge of the Bible, 33:32 and they may have their Th.D., 33:34 but if they are not living a life of love... 33:39 See, I mean, to me, 33:42 that means, they don't have a Holy Spirit 33:43 because when the spirit is in your heart, 33:45 that divine love, the essence, 33:47 the character of God is going to be taking over. 33:50 And it's all a growth process. 33:52 We don't just, you know... 33:55 Now, I have seen a few people 33:57 who have just been so converted overnight 33:58 that you're like, who is this person? 34:01 Right, but for most of us, it's just a gradual thing that, 34:05 you know, as we learn to give up a little more, 34:08 moment by moment, amen. 34:11 But it is so beautiful. 34:12 I, I have to say... 34:14 Idalia said something interesting 34:15 and powerful to me that I guess, 34:19 I've never put in those words. 34:21 You have to own it. 34:24 And that's powerful when you think, 34:25 when you think about, 34:27 you start thinking about, you have to own it. 34:28 Oh, that is mine. 34:30 It belongs to me. 34:32 And it's yours because there are so many, 34:34 so many promises that are based on, 34:37 if you believe, if you are willing, 34:40 and so that's when you begin to own it 34:43 and say, that's me. 34:45 And these scriptures are talking to me. 34:46 God is saying this to me. 34:49 And that, I believe that will be helpful 34:53 to some people that are struggling with these, 34:56 with doubts and wondering if does God accept me, 34:59 will He really forgive me? 35:01 Will He really do what He's saying right here? 35:05 Absolutely. 35:07 What I like also is that 35:08 we're all at a different place in our life so, 35:11 maybe what's important to you in your level of maturity, 35:14 owning it could be different than mine. 35:16 Yes. 35:18 But he's saying, hey, 35:19 he's for everyone whether you're a teeny-weeny baby, 35:23 or you know, whether you're an old grandpa 35:26 in the Lord. 35:27 Here is how I like to say it. 35:29 Grace writes the check. 35:33 God, I mean, he just writes, faith takes it to the bank. 35:38 So if you're gonna own, 35:39 I mean God can sit here and offer us 35:41 all these gifts by grace. 35:43 The son, the spirit, 35:45 the word salvation, everything. 35:48 If we don't say, okay, I'm gonna own it, 35:53 I'm taking it to the bank, I'm gonna deposit it, 35:55 it's just kind of like, it's out there, 35:57 it's a check that's floating around. 35:59 That's right. 36:00 It's very interesting because when you're, 36:01 when you've mentioned that, 36:03 I just imagine the blessing 36:05 that God was giving to the people of Israel 36:06 every single day when they were out in the desert. 36:09 I'm gonna rain down manna for you, 36:13 bread, food to eat. 36:15 So the people say, wow, 36:16 look at all that food out there. 36:17 Man, that's wonderful. 36:19 And then they stay in their house. 36:21 Yeah. 36:22 And they don't go out to get it. 36:23 That's right. Yeah. 36:25 They're not filled, they're not satisfied, 36:26 they don't have the benefit, 36:27 the healthful benefits that God is providing for them. 36:30 But they have to go out and get it. 36:32 That's right. 36:33 And you know, you have, 36:35 you gave me a thought 36:36 because I had somebody who said to me once, 36:38 well, God has favorites. 36:39 You are one of his favorites and I said, no, the Bible says, 36:42 God's not a respecter of persons. 36:45 And so they, like you say they, if you could see the manna, 36:49 they were seeing God's blessings 36:51 and his workings in my life, 36:54 but they were sitting there saying, 36:55 it's not for me, it's not for me. 36:58 And that's not true, 36:59 that's contradictory to the word of God. 37:02 God promises, if you're in Jesus Christ, 37:04 if you've accepted Christ as your savior, 37:07 all of God's promises are yours. 37:10 2 Corinthians 1:1, yes and amen, so be it. 37:14 So in Christ Jesus... 37:15 But is a condition that many people are in 37:19 and that also neutralizes us. 37:21 Well, that's a great word, neutralizes. 37:23 And that's his goal to neutralize us 37:26 and not allow us to feel that we are deserving, you know. 37:33 God sent His Son, what a sacrifice. 37:36 I'm a parent and I'll tell you what? 37:42 Well, I donated a kidney once. 37:46 But... 37:47 It wasn't your son's kidney, was it? 37:49 It's not my son's life, you know. 37:51 So why would, why would, 37:55 any thoughts come to our minds 37:57 that we are not fit or we are not good enough 38:01 for all these wonderful blessings 38:04 and abundance that the Lord wants to pour into our lives. 38:07 Well, we are, we are His children. 38:10 So He has given us this opportunity 38:13 to draw closer to Him. 38:15 Remember there is a, 38:16 the great controversy, you know, 38:17 the good, the bad, God, the devil, 38:20 just fighting for our lives to give us... 38:24 Well, the Lord giving us salvation, 38:27 the utmost gift. 38:29 Amen. 38:30 That I can personally tell you, 38:31 if I don't speak and pray 38:33 God's word over my life for a period of time, 38:36 I will find myself saying things like, you know, 38:39 I am so worthless, I am this, I am that. 38:41 Yeah. 38:43 And then all of a sudden, you know, 38:44 you kind of feel like... 38:45 like this and it's oh, Lord, what's wrong with me? 38:48 What's wrong with me? 38:50 And He's like, well, 38:51 I can tell you what's wrong with you, 38:52 you're not, you know. 38:54 And when you get back in the word 38:56 and start claiming it, 38:58 it totally changes you, 39:02 it changes your mindset, 39:03 it changes your attitude all in Christ Jesus. 39:06 All right. 39:08 JD Quinn, 39:09 you want to take Colossians 1, 9-10. 39:11 Yeah. 39:13 I like this is because, you know, some people, 39:15 some people have an intimate relationship with the Lord. 39:18 They say that this is the complete prayer 39:21 and that's Colossians 1:9 and 10. 39:24 "Ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will 39:29 in all wisdom and understanding, 39:31 so that you will walk 39:32 in a manner worthy of the Lord." 39:34 It goes on, then it's in verse 10. 39:36 "Bearing fruit in every good work, 39:40 and increasing in the knowledge of God." 39:43 Amen. 39:44 Amen. 39:46 Number one, it doesn't get any better 39:47 if you can be filled with the knowledge of His will, 39:49 His will, not your will 39:51 because here we get into that controversy. 39:53 Yeah. 39:54 You know, his will 39:56 because now it's kind of like, you know, 39:58 thank you Lord for giving me that lamp to my feet, 40:01 so now as I'm walking through, 40:02 if I keep my eyes focused on that light, 40:04 I can see and not be in the darkness. 40:06 And so I'm following His will 40:09 and then it goes into using that word wisdom. 40:11 I love wisdom. 40:13 Especially spiritual wisdom. 40:15 Now, we're taking even a more mature step 40:19 and that is spiritual wisdom. 40:20 That's right. 40:21 Here again, he said, 40:23 one that's with your eyes, he's laying up, 40:26 you know, now as you're walking 40:27 and you have an understanding 40:29 so that you walk in a manner that's pleasing to Him. 40:31 Thank you Jesus. 40:33 Amen. Amen. 40:34 Now, it's using the word, 40:35 His will, His will, His will, 40:38 not my will, so if I start using my will, 40:41 then the blinders come on, 40:43 the, the sunglasses get real dark, 40:47 I lose glimpse of the lamp to my feet. 40:51 And then that's when you struggle, 40:52 that's when your well runs dry. 40:55 So, anyway I love that and anybody that, 40:59 whether you're just growing a tomato, you know, 41:02 which is a joy in itself, 41:04 just seeing that fruit finally show up. 41:07 There is nothing better than bearing fruit. 41:10 And if you can bear the fruit of the Lord, 41:13 in following His spiritual wisdom, 41:15 thank you Jesus. 41:16 Amen. 41:17 That just happened to me this past weekend in jail, 41:21 one of the cellmates asked me. 41:26 One of the cellmates asked me what is God's will for me? 41:31 You know, and it's interesting to be able to answer. 41:34 We told him, go to Daniel 2, 41:36 you know and then that will answer, 41:38 go read, you know, 41:40 how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 41:43 how they purposed in their heart, 41:45 Daniel as well. 41:47 How they purposed in their heart, 41:48 but God's will is for us like Shelley was telling, 41:51 empty yourself and fill, 41:54 get the Holy Spirit filled in you, 41:57 and then you just have to sit back 41:59 and allow him to do the work and that's so beautiful. 42:02 It's amazing because once you completely surrender to God, 42:07 you are in complete autopilot since then. 42:10 You don't have to do anything. 42:12 God continues and God does the work for you. 42:15 The only problem that comes is that 42:17 then self starts popping out and says, oh, look at me. 42:22 And then you start filling yourself with pride, 42:24 you start filling yourself with that, 42:26 and then God's no longer the main focus 42:30 and then other people are seeing, 42:31 wait a minute, yeah, 42:33 that's not what he's preaching 42:35 and what he's doing are two different things. 42:37 And those are where, 42:38 where you need to understand that 42:40 God's will is for you to be empty, 42:45 and the Holy Spirit to be completely in you. 42:48 You know, when you said that about the will of God, 42:51 I thought of 1 Thessalonians 4:3 says, 42:55 "This is the will of God." 42:57 If you're wondering what the will of God is 42:59 for you at home. 43:00 Your sanctification, 43:03 and what does sanctification mean? 43:06 It's synonymous with holiness, and it's kind of like, 43:11 we listen to those words and it's, 43:12 ooh, holiness, sanctification, 43:15 what does this mean? 43:16 It simply means to be completely separated from sin. 43:21 So God's will for our life is that 43:24 we would be separated from sin, 43:26 and only He can do that through His, 43:30 through Christ Jesus, 43:32 through His spirit, through His word. 43:34 It is God's job, He's the one that is... 43:38 I mean, salvation belongs to the Lord. 43:41 But that's what it's all about 43:43 so that we can walk in a manner that is worthy of the Lord, 43:48 and some people just literally beat themselves up 43:51 trying to be worthy of God, 43:54 trying to do things that, you know, 43:57 they're focusing on things on the outside, 43:59 when we only have to do is, 44:01 if they would consent like God have His way with them. 44:06 The Bible says, He's the one that's gonna do it. 44:08 Amen. 44:10 And we can ask the Lord to help us 44:11 to be willing to do His will. 44:13 Amen. 44:14 Be willing to do His will. 44:16 Tim, why don't you take Philippians 2 44:19 and we're just gonna look at verses 5 and 8. 44:23 Right, we're talking about, 44:24 I'm filled with the humility of Jesus, 44:27 and so Philippians 2:5 and 8 also say, 44:32 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. 44:36 He humbled Himself 44:38 and became a obedient to the point of death, 44:41 even the death at the cross." 44:46 I don't even know that it's possible 44:48 for us to be there, 44:52 to go there to even understand to get it. 44:55 To... 44:56 You're right. 44:58 For us to be so committed to a cause, 45:02 to be so totally given 45:06 to anything that we would, 45:09 because it talks about in between the verses there, 45:12 it talks or maybe it's after about Christ doing that, 45:17 going to the death on the cross. 45:19 It says, that, you know, we might die for a good, 45:23 for a good guy, but no way we die for a dirty, 45:27 rotten scoundrel. 45:30 Somebody that we didn't know whether or not 45:32 they would ever even return their love to us, 45:37 but Christ humbled Himself, 45:41 humiliated Himself... 45:43 That's the word, humiliated. 45:46 To death on the cross. 45:48 And, so I think that, 45:51 the best that we can do goes back to verse 4 45:55 in that same chapter Philippians 2:4, that says, 45:59 "Let each of you esteem and look upon 46:01 and be concerned for not merely your own interests, 46:06 but also each for the interest of others." 46:08 And I think that's about as close as we can ever get to, 46:13 you know, the humility 46:16 because dying on the cross is above me and I don't... 46:20 You know, why don't you read, I don't know why I left out, 46:22 well for brevity sake in the book, 46:24 I left that up, but read verses 5-8. 46:27 Sure. 46:28 Because that gives us better context. 46:29 And I'm gonna read from the amplified version. 46:31 "Let the same attitude and purpose 46:33 and humble mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus. 46:36 Let him be your example in humility. 46:39 Who although being essentially one with God 46:41 and in the form of God, 46:43 possessing the fullness of the attributes 46:45 which make God, God, 46:47 he did not think this equality with God. 46:51 He didn't think this equality was a thing to be 46:53 eagerly grasped or retained. 46:55 But stripping himself, 46:56 so as to assume the guise of a servant in that 46:59 He became like men and was born of a human being, 47:03 and born a human being." 47:05 In verse 8, 47:06 "And after He had appeared in human form, 47:08 He abased and humbled Himself still further, 47:11 and carried His obedience to the extreme death, 47:14 even the death at the cross. 47:17 Therefore God has highly exalted Him 47:20 and has freely bestowed on Him 47:23 the name that is above every name." 47:25 And again, you know, 47:27 this is, this is God doing this. 47:31 This is God becoming flesh and humbling Himself, 47:35 and so there again, you know, 47:36 this isn't something I can ever comprehend, 47:38 how some, how the great, 47:40 the creator of all the universe would put on skin 47:45 and lower Himself to, 47:48 to what I'd go through and be me 47:51 and experience what I go through, 47:53 and then above all that, 47:55 had Himself killed for to, to... 47:59 Paid my penance. Yeah. 48:02 Now, I can't, wouldn't you said that, 48:04 we can't go there. 48:06 No. 48:07 You know and I'm like, 48:08 can you imagine that the creator of the universe 48:12 was willing to come to die 48:15 such a horrendous death for you. 48:18 He would have done it for you unlike 48:20 when Idalia was talking about, 48:22 you've got to own it, you've got to own that as well. 48:25 If you were the only individual that was willing to accept, 48:28 to cash that check, He would have done it for you. 48:31 When you... 48:33 When you think about that, 48:34 there is goose bumps going through your body 48:37 because you can't quite comprehend 48:39 what an amazing God that is, 48:41 that when He fills you with the spirit 48:43 and when He tells you son, 48:46 He said, I am willing to do all of these, 48:50 to go through all of these pain because of you. 48:54 A lot of individuals like you were mentioning before. 48:57 We're talking to them and they think, 48:58 oh, you know, you're special. 49:00 No, we are not. 49:01 We're the only one that have understood the enormous, 49:05 you know, we can't go there 49:07 because it's so un, un... 49:11 I don't know, there is no word for it. 49:14 Yeah, there is no word for it. 49:16 It's unthinkable to understand that the creator, 49:19 the one that with His own hands formed us, 49:22 was willing to come to die for Luis. 49:26 You know, how Timothy Cox puts it, 49:28 and this really made me think. 49:29 He said in the order of creation... 49:32 Well, God is above creation but there is God, 49:34 then there is the angels and then there is the man, 49:37 animals and then insects. 49:39 So the creator 49:41 then just lower Himself to the position of an angel. 49:44 He lowered Himself, 49:46 a second one to the position of man. 49:47 That would be like man, 49:49 not lowering himself to be animal 49:52 but lowering himself to be an insect. 49:55 I mean, that kind of puts in perspective. 49:57 If you think like, okay, 49:59 I'm going to go down there and become a cockroach, 50:02 so that I can save the cockroaches. 50:05 Well, boy, I'll tell you, I mean, that kind, 50:07 at least for me, 50:08 it makes me really stop and think. 50:10 That's like the writer wrote for such a worm as I. 50:14 Amen. Amen. 50:16 But let me ask you... 50:17 Oh, go ahead, honey. 50:21 Our house was burning. 50:23 You have to make a decision quickly. 50:25 There is people that are screaming 50:27 and are you a hero or not? 50:30 Whatever that means? 50:32 You rush into the house 50:33 and try to save as many people as you can. 50:38 With the determination death or not, 50:44 I'm gonna give the best I can. 50:47 And so say that the fire captures you, 50:50 you save three people, four others die. 50:55 Now you go down the local newspaper, 50:57 you as a hero. 51:00 Now, let's take it, now, 51:01 let's go to where we cannot go. 51:05 There is billions of people that He died for. 51:11 Boy, that's where it becomes ingenious. 51:14 How did you do that? 51:16 Yeah. 51:18 And to me, that's what breaks my heart 51:20 because I can't get past 51:22 that four or five or six that unselfishly, 51:28 you made a determination in God's hand, you know, 51:31 I give my life. 51:32 You know JD, 51:34 you just hit a point where it's so amazing. 51:36 You're looking at a house is on fire 51:39 and most individuals on this earth are going for that 51:42 earthly possession and they're not grabbing that, 51:45 that is valuable which is, those who they love. 51:47 And that is what breaks my heart. 51:49 That is what breaks my heart 51:51 when I go and I try to help individuals, 51:52 that they are looking for their earthly possessions 51:55 and not understanding the value of what they, 51:57 what God is trying to impart upon them, 52:00 and the world may call them a hero, 52:04 but all they have is possessions. 52:06 That they're going to go away, you know. 52:09 And when we look at what we have, you know, 52:11 I always say this, you know, 52:14 because the enemy keeps on talking to me. 52:15 He says, well God, your God doesn't exist. 52:18 Okay, fine, that's not a problem. 52:20 Even if this whole was a game, 52:24 the blessings that I've gotten through my life 52:26 because of the savior that I believed in, 52:29 because of the God that I have is enough for me. 52:31 Heaven is the icing on the cake. 52:33 Amen. 52:34 Now the other said, the enemy, 52:36 the God rebuked me on that one day 52:37 because He said, wait a minute, 52:39 you need to understand that. 52:40 Yes, heaven might be the icing, 52:42 but if you don't want to be in My presence, 52:44 do you truly love Me? 52:46 So heaven has to be the cake but in the world, 52:50 in the concept of other individuals, 52:52 that's fine. 52:54 I don't care about the icing, 52:55 give me Jesus, give me God, 52:57 give me the spirit, fill me with that 52:59 because that's enough for me. 53:00 Amen. I want to make one point. 53:02 We're down to our last few minutes here. 53:03 I just want to make one point on this particular scripture. 53:06 We won't get any further. 53:08 But it really is a commandment. 53:10 When Paul is writing to the Philippians, he says, 53:12 "Let this mind be in you 53:15 which was also in Christ Jesus." 53:17 You know Paul said that 53:19 we've been given the mind of Christ 53:21 and we find it right here in this Bible. 53:24 We find his mind. 53:26 But when we think of humility, 53:30 you know, what do we think of? 53:32 This is something that Lord's been working in me over the, 53:35 while, I was recuperating from a recent surgery, 53:38 that the humility of Christ 53:42 was His total dependence upon God. 53:46 Here, He was co-equal with God. 53:51 He condescended to become a man but He got here, 53:56 He could have drawn on His own power at anytime. 54:00 But what did He say, 54:01 He said, I only do what the Father shows me to do. 54:05 I only speak what the Father tells me to speak and you know, 54:09 He was here to represent. 54:11 I mean, He's co-equal with God, 54:14 but He humbled Himself and became submissive to God. 54:18 And then you think about 54:20 the humility of the Holy Spirit. 54:22 The spirit does all things to bring glory to Christ. 54:26 Christ did everything to bring glory to God, 54:28 and then at the end, God's gonna give Him, you know, 54:32 put all things under His feet. 54:33 But we think of humility as, you know, 54:37 sometimes we think of humility as if somebody was like, 54:39 oh, well, no, you know, 54:41 I'm, I'm not special or anything. 54:42 And we think, oh, aren't they humble? 54:44 That's not what it's about. 54:46 Humility is about saying, 54:48 I am totally dependent upon God. 54:51 Anything good you see in my life is because of God. 54:55 I can't save myself, I can't do anything good. 54:58 I can't even bear good fruit apart from Him. 55:03 What is Jesus saying, 55:04 John 15:5, "Apart from me, 55:06 you can't do nada, nothing." 55:12 All right, we are already to the end of our time, 55:16 but we do want to end in prayer. 55:19 I hope that as we discuss some of these scriptures, 55:22 I just thank each one of you for your contribution 55:25 because you made me... 55:27 I love to get people together to talk about the Bible 55:30 because it really enriches and expands your own thinking. 55:34 But JD, why don't you have a closing player please, 55:38 and we'll just pray that 55:40 God will pour out His Holy Spirit on 55:43 all who call upon His name around the world 55:46 because we all need His spirit, 55:49 so that we can be filled with Christ in our heart by faith. 55:53 Amen. 55:54 And I just want to read, this is, I'm going into prayer, 55:56 Romans 15:30, 55:58 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, 56:01 as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow 56:04 with hope or the power of the Holy Spirit." 56:06 Amen. 56:07 Father, as we come to You in the name of Jesus. 56:09 We once again, thank You Lord for You, 56:12 for Your magnificent ability to love, and Father, 56:18 I just ask Lord that it be tattooed on our heart, 56:21 how we can be more, 56:25 totally filled with You Lord 56:27 to help make a difference in other people's lives. 56:29 Father, people are hungry, people are thirsty, and Father, 56:33 we just want to do our part, and Father, 56:35 we know it's through the aid of the Holy Spirit, 56:37 so the prompting of the Holy Spirit. 56:39 Let us be adaptable, dear Father in following that, 56:44 that prompting that you put 56:46 and the unction of the Holy Spirit 56:47 to help make a difference in other people's lives, 56:50 Father, with joy in our heart. 56:52 And Father, I just ask Lord 56:54 that You will be with each person 56:56 as we keep our eyes focused on you Lord. 56:58 We are all looking for that one thing 57:00 and that's peace of God. 57:01 That calmness, that assurance, 57:03 assurance Lord that You are for, 57:06 You are who you say that you Are. 57:08 And Father, as we just dedicate our lives to you, 57:12 Father, that we allow You to work accordingly. 57:15 Father, we love You and we thank you. 57:17 Be with our loved ones, our families, Lord, 57:19 take care of each one of them. 57:20 Put a hedge protection around each one of our loved ones, 57:23 dear Father. 57:24 Around all those who call upon Your name. 57:27 We love You, give you praise and glory 57:29 in the name of Jesus. 57:31 Amen. Amen. 57:32 Once again, we want to thank you for joining us, 57:34 and may the grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, 57:37 the love of the Father 57:39 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit 57:40 be with you always. |
