Thank you.
Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, where are you going?
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
But I tell you the truth, it is for your good that I am going away.
Unless I go away, the counselor will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment.
In regard to sin, because men do not believe in me.
In regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father where you can see me no longer.
And in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
And can you turn to Acts 2, verse 22, page 1098.
Acts 2, verse 22.
Men of Israel, listen to this.
Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs which God did among you through him, as you yourself know.
This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge.
And you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
David said about him,
I saw the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand.
I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices.
My body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the paths of life.
You will fill me with joy in your presence.
Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, and has poured out what you now see and hear.
For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
Therefore let all Israel be assured of this.
God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles,
Brothers, what shall we do?
Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, for all whom the Lord your God will call.
With many other words he warned them, and he pleaded with them,
Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.
Those who accepted this message were baptized, and about 3,000 were added to their number that day.
Thanks very much.
Well, keep your Bibles open there at those passages.
Michael's going to come now and speak.
As he's doing that, I'm going to hand out pens,
so if you want to take notes and use the back of your new sheet for that, you can do that.
I think most of you know who Michael is.
I know him a little bit.
He probably knows me a lot more.
Yes.
There we go.
Good to have you today.
Thank you.
Thanks.
It is good to be here.
I was looking at your notes before that I was the father of a well-known local pastor.
I know myself.
I don't know who the other fellow is.
But it is good to be back with you once again in Carragalline.
And we want to talk about the Holy Spirit's work this morning.
And so, as we've been reminded, have your Bibles open at those two passages that we read.
How do you do that?
Well, for some means, I'm sure you can think of, as we'll be referring to both of these passages
we go through the message this morning.
Let's begin with a question.
What is the principal work of the Holy Spirit?
I wonder how you would answer that particular question.
What is the principal work of the Holy Spirit?
Last week I was at a very charismatic church, and I'm sure they would have said something like this,
miraculous power of the Spirit.
And they would think of miracles performed in the power of the Spirit.
But is that the principal work of the Holy Spirit?
Some people would say, yes, gifts are the principal work of the Holy Spirit.
But that isn't the answer that the Scriptures give.
If you look at John chapter 16 and verse 14, you read these words.
He, that is the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, the Comforter,
He will bring glory to me by taking from it what is mine and making it known to you.
The principal work of the Holy Spirit is to make known the Lord Jesus Christ.
That is His work.
If somebody fill with the Holy Spirit, then they will want to testify to the Lord Jesus Christ.
One has said that speaking of the Holy Spirit, He has as His supreme mission,
the glorifying of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And I think we all this morning are conscious of the fact that we need the Holy Spirit
to work in our lives and our individual lives.
But what will that mean?
Well, it will mean, of course, a likeness to the Lord Jesus Christ.
It will begin to take on the family likeness.
There will be that fruit of the Spirit that is evident in our lives.
We will give the Lord Jesus the honour that is due to His holy name.
We will be ready to be submissive to His every command.
And the Lord Jesus will be glorified because the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives.
If we think of the church, what will it mean for the church to be filled with the Spirit?
Well, there will be a greater awareness of the Lord Jesus as we come together to worship.
The fruit of the Spirit, again, will be in evidence among us.
We will not be able to do anything else but love each other
because the love of Christ has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus will be honoured as we speak,
as we converse,
as we testify one to another of His goodness in our lives.
So, as individuals, we will be affected.
As a church, we will be affected.
But also, there will be an effect on the community in which we live
because we will want to be witnesses to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We will be witnesses, of course, in the way that we live.
We will be witnesses in the way that we speak.
Our conversation will testify of Him who was crucified,
who rose from the dead,
and who ascended into glory.
We will not be able to be silent.
The Holy Spirit is so necessary.
It is He that gives us new birth.
It is He that gives us new life.
But that new life is in Christ.
Now, the promise of John 16 and verse 7
is, I will send Him to you.
And when He comes,
He will do certain things
that will bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And those verses that were read, first of all,
from John chapter 16 and verses 8 to 11
are the verses that we're going to be looking at.
But we're going to be looking at them
in the light of Acts chapter 2.
Because I would believe that
Acts chapter 2 is a commentary, if you like,
of what the Lord is saying in Acts chapter 16.
When the Holy Spirit comes,
this will happen.
And on the day of Pentecost,
it did happen.
So let's look at this passage together.
And the first thing that we will notice is this.
That the Holy Spirit will convict men of sin
that they might turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Look at verse 8.
When He comes,
He will convict the world of guilt
in regard to sin.
And then in verse 9,
there's an explanation of that.
In regard to sin,
because men do not believe in me.
What was the principal sin
that was identified on the day of Pentecost?
That one sin,
that great sin which embraces all other sins.
Well, this sin that men and women
do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the sin of unbelief.
And in Acts 2,
the Holy Spirit that had been promised comes.
And Peter preaches in the power of the Spirit.
He's speaking, remember,
to people who had witnessed the miracles.
People who had had ample opportunity
to see that God had sent His Son into the world.
But they did not believe.
Hear Peter in Acts 2 and verse 22.
Men of Israel,
listen to this.
Jesus of Nazareth
was a man accredited by God to you
by miracles, wonders, and signs
which God did among you
through Him
as you yourself know.
Those miracles,
those signs,
those wonders,
they were not done in the corner.
People spoke about them.
It was evident
that there was someone different among them.
But they did not believe.
And the Holy Spirit,
on the day of Pentecost,
speaking through the mouth of Peter,
was witness for the prosecution.
He was exposing unbelieving hearts.
Of course,
unbelief
had been apparent
all through the ministry
of the Lord Jesus.
It had been demonstrated
in different ways,
but it was unbelief
nonetheless.
If you think of His birth,
remember the wise men
arrive at the palace
of Herod.
And what does Herod do?
Well, he calls the wise men
and they look up the
Holy Scriptures.
They look up the Word of God.
Where is this new king
to be born?
Well, it's in Bethlehem.
It says in Micah,
chapter 5,
and verse 2.
But what does Herod do?
He tries to murder him.
He was a king
who couldn't accept any other.
So it was a sin of unbelief.
He rejected the one
that had been promised.
As we see the Lord Jesus
in His unfolding ministry,
we read in John,
chapter 7,
and verse 5,
even His own brothers
did not believe in Him.
Initially,
He had a great following.
But if we look at Acts,
chapter 6,
we're told that many
of His people,
many of those
who claimed to be
His disciples,
did not follow Him.
They did not continue
with Him.
He told them that His,
He offered them
living bread.
This bread,
He said,
is my flesh,
which I will give
for the life of the world.
But they turned away from Him.
They turned away
in unbelief.
And the comment
that is given
in Acts,
in John,
chapter 6,
and verse 64,
Jesus had known
from the beginning
which of them
did not believe
and who would
betray Him.
So there was this
constant rejection,
this constant
unbelief.
And this unbelief
reached its climax,
of course,
in the crucifixion
of Jesus.
And we see
the heinousness
of sin.
Jesus, of course,
had referred to it
in the parable
of the vineyard.
How servants
had been sent.
How they'd been
ill-treated,
abused,
and some of them
killed.
Last of all,
the son
of the owner
of the vineyard
was sent.
But they
murdered him.
And empowered
by the Spirit,
on the day
of Pentecost,
Peter drives
it home.
You,
he says,
no one else,
you,
have been
responsible.
And with the
help of wicked
men,
put him to death,
nailing him
to the cross.
But let all
Israel be
assured of this.
God has made
this Jesus
whom you
crucified,
both Lord
and Christ.
Here's the result
of your
unbelieving hearts.
You have
crucified
the Lord
of glory.
You
have taken
the hammer
and put
those nails
into his hands
and into his feet.
you have jammed
that crown
of thorns
upon his head
and you did it
because of your
unbelieving hearts.
And as the
Holy Spirit
worked
and testified
to what they
had done
to the Lord
Jesus Christ,
the people
were affected.
Sin that
had been
identified
led that
day to the
salvation
of many.
The Holy
Spirit
convinced
three
thousand
on the
day of
Pentecost
that they
did not
believe in
Jesus.
They were,
as we are
told in Acts
2,
cut to
the heart.
They cried
out
because they
saw the
awfulness
of the
sin of
unbelief.
What
shall we
do?
And the
answer comes
back clearly,
repent
and be
baptized
every one
of you
in the
name of
Jesus
Christ
for the
forgiveness
of sin.
The Holy
Spirit
convicted
men of
their sin,
the sin
of unbelief,
that they
might turn
to the
Lord Jesus
Christ in
belief.
Let me ask
you the
question this
morning.
Do you
know the
work of
the Holy
Spirit in
your heart
convicting
you of
the sin
of
unbelief?
Are you
convicted
of your
rejection
of the
one who
performed
those signs
and wonders?
Are you
convicted
of your
unbelief?
Oh, so
many today
say, I
believe in
Jesus.
I believe
he was a
historical
character.
I was
listening to
an interview
coming over
today of
two sisters.
They were
religious.
Oh, yes, if
you asked
them, did
they believe
in Jesus,
they would
have said
yes.
But do
they believe
in him in
the sense
that they've
turned from
their sin to
the only way
of salvation
in the
Lord Jesus
Christ?
Christ.
You can't
sit on the
fence as
far as
these things
are concerned,
can you?
Remember
those words
of Jesus
in John
3 and
verse 18,
whoever
believes in
him is
not condemned,
but whoever
does not
believe stands
condemned
already because
he has not
believed in
the name of
God's one
and only
Son.
So we
see on the
day of
Pentecost,
the Holy
Spirit
brought glory
to the
Lord Jesus
Christ as
3,000 people
vowed their
knees to
the King
of Kings
and Lord
of Lords.
How we
need the
Holy Spirit
in our
own lives,
how the
community in
which we
find ourselves
needs to
know something
of the
work of
the Holy
Spirit
that they
too might
be convicted
of sin.
For a time
I was in
membership in a
church in
the north of
Ireland and
there was a
man who used
to pray.
He's now in
heaven enjoying
his reward,
but he used
to have a
very quaint
prayers and
one of his
prayers was
this,
bless those
who are
sick of
our
fellowship.
Well, we
knew what
he meant.
But, you
know, another
thing that he
used to
pray was
this,
Lord, you
know, we
cannot raise
an anxious
thought.
And we
can speak
to people,
we can
testify to
people,
but oh,
it needs the
Holy Spirit
to come
upon them
that they
might have
that anxious
thought and
that they
might turn
to the
Lord Jesus
Christ in
repentance
and faith.
Let's pray
for our
community
that as we
witness, the
Holy Spirit
will take our
words and
convict them
of sin
in regard
to sin
because they
do not
believe in
the Lord
Jesus Christ.
There's an
old hymn
I used to
sing,
I know
not how
the Spirit
moves,
convincing
men of
sin,
revealing
Jesus through
the Word,
create in
faith in
Him.
But the
Spirit does
convince,
and the
Spirit does
convince.
May we
know His
work in
our midst.
The second
point,
the Holy
Spirit reveals
the righteousness
of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
John 16
and verse
8.
When He
comes,
He will
convict the
world of
guilt in
regard to
sin and
righteousness.
And then in
verse 10,
in regard
to righteousness,
because I am
going to the
Father where
you can see
me no longer.
So how
does the
Spirit convince
of the
righteousness of
the Lord
Jesus Christ?
Well,
Peter on the
day of
Pentecost
shows very
clearly that
the death
of Jesus
was an
unrighteous
act.
Acts 2
and verse
23.
You,
with the
help of
wicked men,
put Him
to death,
nailing Him
to the
cross.
They were
aware of it.
It was
recent
history.
They had
said,
and their
leaders had
said,
by our
law,
He ought
to die
because He
claims to
be the
Son of
God.
It was
blasphemy.
The law
was clear.
Blasphemy
meant death.
Jesus should
be put to
death.
It was a
righteous act
in their
eyes.
But Jesus
had been
approved of
God.
He always
had the
Father's
approval.
There is
His
baptism.
This is
my
beloved
Son in
whom I
am well
pleased.
At His
transfiguration,
the same
thing
happened.
And Jesus
Himself was
able to
say,
I do
always
those
things
that
please
Him.
But the
people had
said it
was a
righteous
thing in
putting Him
to death.
And they
put Him
to death
between
two
thieves.
It was
a
travesty
of
justice.
But here
Peter,
on the
day of
Pentecost,
as He
proclaims
in the
power of
the Spirit,
He shows
very clearly
that the
Lord Jesus
Christ was
righteous.
And that
the Father
had vindicated
Him.
God
raised Him
from the
dead,
He says
in verse
24.
Verse
32,
God
has raised
this Jesus
to life.
and we
are all
witnesses
to this
fact.
Therefore,
let all
Israel be
assured of
this.
God has
made this
Jesus,
whom you
crucified,
both Lord
and Christ.
Far
from being
guilty,
the Father
was saying
clearly,
I have
vindicated
my Son.
The one
you crucified
was the
Lamb without
spot or
blemish.
And the
Holy Spirit
is drawing
attention to
the fact
that the
Father
had
accepted
the sacrifice
of His
Son.
The
Holy Spirit
through
Peter
was
proclaiming
clearly
that the
death of
Jesus
was an
unrighteous
act.
When
He
comes,
He
will
convict
the
world
in
regard
to
righteousness,
in
righteousness,
because I
am going
to the
Father.
And He
had gone
to the
Father,
and He
sent forth
His
Spirit.
They
saw Him
no more,
but He
lived on
in the
power of
His
Spirit.
Notice
how He
draws
attention
to the
resurrection
in Acts
2 and
verses
24 and
34.
Indeed,
the majority
of Peter's
message that
day centered
on the
resurrection
of the
Lord Jesus.
He
had gone
home to
the
Father
by way
of the
cross.
They
saw Him
no more,
but He
lives on
a living,
risen
Savior.
And the
Holy Spirit
testifies to
this fact.
It is as
though the
Father had
placed His
seal of
approval on
His Son by
raising Him
from the
dead.
And as
Peter preached,
so the
Holy Spirit
took the
Word and
planted it
in the
hearts of
the hearers.
It became
a living,
acting,
life-giving
Word.
These
people had
known the
Holy Scriptures.
They knew the
Old Testament.
Many of them
had memorized
whole sections
of it.
They'd grown
up with the
Word of
God.
They would
have known
Psalm 16.
Psalm 16
that is
quoted by
the Apostle
Peter on
the day of
Pentecost.
You will
not abandon
me to the
grave, nor
will you let
your Holy
One, your
Righteous
One, your
Perfect
One, see
decay.
On the
day of
Pentecost,
they saw
that this
spoke of
the Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the one
they had
recently
crucified.
They saw
it now
clearly, and
they saw
themselves as
guilty.
They saw
themselves as
the ones
who had
crucified the
risen Christ.
He wasn't
with them
anymore,
but he
descended up
on high.
He sent
the Holy
Spirit,
that they
might hear
these things
and believe.
No wonder
they shouted
out,
brothers,
what shall
we do?
They were
saying, is
there any
hope for
us?
And Peter
is able to
say, yes,
there is
hope for
you.
If you
turn in
faith to
this
crucified,
risen
Christ,
and we're
told in
Acts 2
verse 40
with many
other words,
he warned
them and
pleaded with
them, save
yourselves from
this corrupt
generation.
You see,
they came to
see that
Jesus was
right and
that they
were wrong,
totally wrong.
do you know
the Holy
Spirit working
in your
life?
Do you
see him as
the righteous
one,
the perfect
one?
You do not
see him in
the flesh,
he has gone
to the
Father,
but he sent
the Holy
Spirit that
we might
see these
things,
and that
the very
righteousness
of the
Lord Jesus
Christ should
become ours.
Not only
that our
sin might
be wiped
clean,
but also
the very
righteousness
of Christ
should be
put to
our
account.
In
1927,
there was
a revival
on the
east coast
of England.
I'm not
talking about
a mission.
I'm not
talking about
something that
man arranges.
I'm talking
about a
work of
God.
A work
of the
Holy
Spirit.
A man
had been
appointed to
preach a
series of
messages in
a place
called
Loisdorf.
It was a
fishing town.
It happened
to coincide
with the
herring
season.
The
herrings
went along
and the
boats
caught the
fish and
then they
moved up
the coast
following
the
shoals
of
herring.
Big
industry
in those
days.
A lot
of
Scots
fishermen
had come
down.
They were
religious
people.
But they
come down
for the
fishing
season.
They
come down
with their
wives
who
gutted
the
herrings
salted
them
as was
a
custom
in
those
days.
But because
they were
religious
they didn't
go to
sea on
Sunday.
They went
to the
church.
It happened
to be a
Baptist
church.
And what
happened?
An
ordinary
sermon was
preached.
I've read
it.
There's
nothing
particularly
wonderful
about it.
It was
ordinary.
But it
was made
extraordinary
by the
Holy Spirit.
Because
people saw
him as
he really
was.
The
righteous
one.
And they
knew that
they were
not righteous
and they
turned to
him.
Many
fishermen.
Many
local
people.
And as
they went
up the
coast
so they
took that
message with
them.
And others
were converted.
It went
right up to
Scotland to
the fishing
villages.
It reached
Edinburgh
and Glasgow.
And a
great work
was done.
Because the
Holy Spirit
was present
testifying to
the Lord
Jesus Christ.
That he
was the
righteous
one.
That he
had ascended
to the
Father.
And that the
Father had
vindicated him
by raising
him from
the dead.
God
said to
God.
The third
and final
point is
this.
That the
Holy Spirit
reveals the
triumph
of the
Lord Jesus
Christ.
His triumph
over evil.
John 16
and verse
8.
When he
comes
he will
convict the
world of
guilt
in regard
to sin
and righteousness
and judgment.
And verse
11.
In regard
to judgment
because the
prince of
this world
now stands
condemned.
And on the
day of
Pentecost the
Holy Spirit
reveals the
Lord Jesus
Christ as
king and
ruler.
the one
who had
triumphed
over the
principalities
and powers
of darkness.
Look at
Acts 2
and verses
29 to
33.
Brothers
I tell
you confidently
that the
patriarch
David died
and was
buried.
And his
tomb is
here to
this day.
But he
was a
prophet.
And knew
that God
had promised
him on
oath that
he would
place one
of his
descendants on
his throne.
Seeing what
was ahead he
spoke of the
resurrection of
Christ.
That he was
not abandoned
to the grave
nor did his
body see
decay.
God
has raised
this Jesus
to life
and we are
all witnesses
of the fact
exalted
to the
right hand
of God.
He has
received from
the Father
the promised
Holy Spirit
and has
poured out
what you
now see
and hear.
what does
Peter say
empowered by
the Spirit?
What does
he testify
to?
He
testifies to
one who
wasn't allowed
to remain
in the
grave
but one
who is the
fulfillment of
the prophet
David
that there
was one
from his
very own
line who
would sit
on his
throne.
he testifies
to one
who has
been
exalted
to the
right hand
of God
the Father
having triumphed
over the
principalities
and powers
of darkness
having
condemned
the
prince
of this
world
having
condemned
him
through
his death
on the
cross
Paul
inspired
by the
Spirit
testifies
to these
things
in Colossians
2
and verse
15
having
disarmed
the powers
and authorities
he made
a public
spectacle
of them
triumphing
over them
by the
cross
a few
days
before
people
had looked
at the
situation
and it
seemed
utterly
hopeless
there
was their
prince
the one
they thought
who would
redeem
Israel
hanging
on a
cross
naked
a
spectacle
to the
watching
crowd
taken
away
and
buried
and a
stone
rolled
in front
of the
tomb
and a
seal
placed
upon
it
with
guards
even
his
disciples
spoke
of
Jesus
in the
past
tense
remember
them on
the
Emmaus
road
in
Luke
24
and
verse
21
we
had
hoped
that
he
was
the
one
who
would
redeem
Israel
but
remember
that
stranger
who
walked
with
them
even
the
risen
Christ
speaking
to
them
and
rebuking
them
did
not
the
Christ
have
to
suffer
these
things
and
then
enter
his
glory
but
the
glory
had
now
been
entered
the
son
had
triumphed
the
devil
had
been
defeated
the
conquering
king
was
demonstrating
his
power
that
day
as
three
thousand
people
bowed
the
knee
to
him
my
friends
what a
saviour
who has
done
all
this
when
he
comes
he
will
convict
the
world
of
guilt
in
regard
to
sin
and
righteousness
and
judgment
and the
holy
spirit
has
come
and
testified
to
all
that
Jesus
came
to
say
and
to
do
and
the
holy
spirit
calls
us
to
submission
to
the
triumphant
Christ
hear
Peter
in
Acts
2
and
verse
36
therefore
let
all
Israel
be
assured
of
this
God
has
made
this
Jesus
whom
you
crucified
both
Lord
and
Christ
he
is
Lord
we
sometimes
speak
of
Jesus
and
we
leave
out
his
lordship
but
we
cannot
according
to
scripture
he
is
Lord
and
he
demands
our
submission
what
were the
people
to do
when
they
heard
the
information
they
were
to
repent
and
be
baptized
and
they
did
repent
they
did
believe
they
were
baptized
and
they
continued
in
the
apostles
fellowship
and
in
their
teaching
they
had
been
delivered
from
the
judgment
that
was
to
come
they
walked
with
the
victorious
risen
Christ
they
were
convinced
of
sin
and
the
righteousness
and
judgment
so
what
are we
going
to do
with
the
information
that we
have
received
today
well
there's
two
ways
if you're
not a
believer
turn
from
your
sin
to
him
it's
as
simple
and
as
wonderful
as
that
if
you
are
the
Lord's
then
there's
a
world
out
there
that
needs
to
hear
of
this
Jesus
but
don't
do
it
in
your
own
strength
look
for
the
Holy
Spirit
to
come
and
take
your
words
pray
that
you
will
know
the
working
of
God's
Spirit
in
your
life
that
you
may
constantly
glorify
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
pray
that
our
words
of
witness
will
be
effectual
that
they
will
be
taken
by
the
Spirit
and
used
to
bring
people
to
trust
in
the
Savior
but
there
we
pray
something
else
we
do
not
despise
the
day
of
small
things
of
one
here
and
another
there
coming
to
salvation
in
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
indeed
we
rejoice
and
why
shouldn't
we
seeing
that
the
angels
rejoice
over
one
sinner
that
repents
so
we
don't
despise
the
day
of
small
things
but
there
we
pray
that
God
would
move
by
his
Holy
Spirit
that
Karageline
would
be
transformed
in
1904
and
5
there
was
a
revival
in
Wales
and a
man
got on
a train
early
one
Sunday
morning
to go
to see
this
revival
that was
happening
in the
north part
of Wales
got off
the train
and
he met
somebody
he says
I've
come
to
witness
the
revival
where
is
it
he
said
walk
down
the
road
two
miles
and
you
will
feel
it
the
presence
of
God
was
so
real
courts
didn't
sit
because
there
was no
one
charged
with
any
offense
even
the
unbeliever
kept
away
from
his
sin
such
was
the
presence
of
God
could
it
happen
in
Caragalline
well I
can't
do it
Johnny
here
can't
do it
but
God
can
oh
that he
might
come
in the
power
of his
Holy
Spirit
and the
Holy
Spirit
will
testify
of
Christ
let's
pray
father
in
heaven
we're
conscious
so often
of the
coldness
of our
hearts
we're
conscious
of the
fact
that we're
not as
thrilled
with the
message of
salvation
as we
perhaps
once
were
move
in our
own
hearts
revive
our
hearts
we pray
and send
us out
into the
community
that we
might
testify
that we
might show
Jesus
by the
way that
we live
by the
way that
we act
but also
by the
way that
we speak
that your
name might
be glorified
and uplifted
amen
we
