00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
 This is a special retreat on the Holy Spirit, right?

00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:11.439
 If anyone come to you and say that he or she is an expert of the Holy Spirit,

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:13.099
 please don't believe them.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:15.800
 That is the truth, that is the truth.

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:20.900
 The Holy Spirit is perhaps one of the most elusive topics.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:28.199
 Martin Lloyd-Jones mentioned that this is perhaps also one of the most neglected topics in churches.

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:35.619
 And you either overemphasize it and therefore leading in an unhelpful direction,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.820
 or you underemphasize it.

00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:43.039
 So there are two ways that we can make the error when it comes to the topic of the Holy Spirit.

00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:50.100
 It's probably important for us before we dive into the third member of the Trinity

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:53.820
 to just have a quick overview of what the Trinity is all about.

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:57.659
 Father, Son, Spirit.

00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.000
 Now, what does that mean?

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.960
 I'm going to go to just two passages.

00:01:01.660 --> 00:01:05.540
 We're going to camp most of our time in Acts chapter 2 for this retreat.

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:12.140
 But before that, let us go to a passage of Jesus' teaching in John chapter 14.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:19.320
 So I just want us to open our own Bible and take a look at these verses.

00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:24.079
 Now, this is what many Christians call the upper room discourse.

00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.679
 It's like a long chunk of teaching from Jesus, three chapters.

00:01:28.639 --> 00:01:32.639
 And if you are at the end of your life, you are about to go to the cross,

00:01:32.979 --> 00:01:33.899
 you are about to die,

00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:39.219
 the things that you say before you depart will be really important.

00:01:39.699 --> 00:01:41.500
 So this is the teaching of Jesus.

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:46.959
 We're going to read chapter 14, John 14, from verse 15 onward.

00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:49.000
 I'm going to read for us.

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:51.859
 Are we all there in John 14, verse 15?

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.340
 Just give me a nod if you're there.

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.819
 I really want you to look at this text and be confronted by this text.

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:02.680
 As Kevin mentioned, let's look at the word of Jesus and not the word of a man.

00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:05.659
 Reading for us from ESV in verse 15.

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:10.120
 If you love me, you will keep my commandment.

00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:16.919
 So one of the marks of being filled with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit,

00:02:17.139 --> 00:02:19.479
 is obedience, keeping the commandment of Christ.

00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:20.840
 And then verse 16,

00:02:21.019 --> 00:02:23.120
 And I will ask the Father,

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:25.800
 Jesus referring to another person of training,

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.840
 I will ask the Father and He will give you another helper

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.879
 to be with you forever.

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.979
 Now most of us know that the Holy Spirit is known as a helper to us.

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:41.219
 But notice there's a word here, another.

00:02:42.219 --> 00:02:42.699
 Another.

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:43.359
 What does that imply?

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.019
 Another.

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.060
 Someone who is similar to Himself.

00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:52.000
 Jesus has been there helping them,

00:02:52.780 --> 00:02:53.680
 walking with them.

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.780
 And the Father will send them another helper.

00:02:57.859 --> 00:02:58.719
 Let's camp there for a while.

00:02:59.319 --> 00:02:59.900
 What does that mean?

00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:04.280
 Someone of equal status.

00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:07.000
 In fact, Jesus even implied later on,

00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.460
 that this is going to be a better gift for you.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:10.879
 That I will go,

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.240
 and the Father will send the helper,

00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:15.219
 another helper to you.

00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:17.180
 And verse 17,

00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.060
 I'm going to just read the second part.

00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:20.439
 You know Him,

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:22.480
 for He dwells with you,

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.080
 and will be in you.

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.140
 So this is the next level, right?

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.340
 Christ dwells on earth with the disciples,

00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:33.980
 walking side by side.

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.100
 As a person who is fully human,

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:39.120
 fully God,

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:41.000
 walking with the disciples.

00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:44.980
 And now you have the gift of another person of the Trinity,

00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:47.140
 who dwells not just with you,

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:49.200
 but in you.

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:50.600
 Now how does that work?

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.140
 Dwelling with you,

00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:53.740
 and in you.

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:56.680
 That really is the goal of this retreat.

00:03:57.100 --> 00:04:00.080
 We're going to see how the Spirit dwells among us,

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:00.820
 with us,

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:02.200
 and in us.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:03.460
 Now,

00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:06.480
 one observation.

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.620
 Notice that whenever the Holy Spirit

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:11.900
 is being mentioned in this text,

00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:13.480
 you have

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:16.579
 He or Him being referred.

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.120
 The Holy Spirit is a person.

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:21.240
 The Holy Spirit

00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.780
 is not a thing.

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:23.559
 The Holy Spirit

00:04:23.559 --> 00:04:24.899
 is a person.

00:04:25.039 --> 00:04:26.599
 It's a third person of the Trinity.

00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:28.619
 And

00:04:28.619 --> 00:04:31.419
 here's what is so complex

00:04:31.419 --> 00:04:32.759
 about this whole topic.

00:04:33.419 --> 00:04:34.059
 You have a person

00:04:34.059 --> 00:04:34.799
 who is equal

00:04:34.799 --> 00:04:35.899
 to Jesus,

00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:37.559
 who comes

00:04:37.559 --> 00:04:38.339
 from the Father.

00:04:39.359 --> 00:04:40.619
 Jesus is praying to the Father

00:04:40.619 --> 00:04:41.599
 to send

00:04:41.599 --> 00:04:42.399
 us

00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.099
 another helper.

00:04:45.299 --> 00:04:46.099
 And in verse 23,

00:04:46.739 --> 00:04:47.519
 in John 14,

00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.180
 if anyone loves me,

00:04:49.359 --> 00:04:50.539
 he will keep my word,

00:04:50.979 --> 00:04:51.799
 and my Father

00:04:51.799 --> 00:04:52.620
 will love him,

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:53.560
 and we

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.879
 will come to him

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.339
 and make our home

00:04:57.339 --> 00:04:58.279
 with him.

00:04:58.579 --> 00:04:59.180
 Are you there with me

00:04:59.180 --> 00:04:59.659
 at verse 23?

00:05:01.359 --> 00:05:01.759
 Now,

00:05:01.799 --> 00:05:02.500
 this is mind-blowing.

00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:03.740
 So,

00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:04.219
 he is

00:05:04.219 --> 00:05:05.060
 leaving,

00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.180
 and he is sending

00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:08.120
 another

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.060
 helper,

00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:10.819
 and now in verse 23,

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:11.300
 we

00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:12.780
 will come to

00:05:12.780 --> 00:05:13.339
 him,

00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:14.680
 the person who

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:15.759
 keeps the command

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:16.379
 or the person

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:17.240
 who is loved by God,

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:18.360
 referring to Christians,

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:18.639
 right?

00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:19.579
 And we

00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:20.280
 will make

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:20.899
 our home

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:21.680
 with him.

00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:23.319
 Wow.

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:24.579
 So,

00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:25.100
 when you get

00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:25.600
 one person

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.139
 of the Trinity,

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:27.379
 you get all three.

00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:29.740
 Okay,

00:05:29.899 --> 00:05:30.939
 so how does that work?

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:31.600
 He's leaving,

00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:32.800
 he's telling us

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:33.379
 that we are going

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:33.800
 to receive

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:34.519
 another helper,

00:05:34.719 --> 00:05:34.979
 the Spirit

00:05:34.979 --> 00:05:35.599
 is going to come

00:05:35.599 --> 00:05:36.560
 to be with us

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.519
 and in us,

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:38.539
 and then through

00:05:38.539 --> 00:05:38.899
 the Spirit,

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.399
 we are going to get

00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:40.599
 all three members

00:05:40.599 --> 00:05:42.219
 of the Trinity now,

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.120
 because I only have

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:44.879
 30 minutes,

00:05:44.979 --> 00:05:45.519
 and I want to make sure

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:46.159
 that we have lunch

00:05:46.159 --> 00:05:46.680
 later on.

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:47.859
 This is a complex

00:05:47.859 --> 00:05:48.579
 topic,

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:49.819
 the Trinity,

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:51.479
 but maybe

00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:52.159
 the best way

00:05:52.159 --> 00:05:52.639
 for me to put it

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:53.079
 is this,

00:05:54.299 --> 00:05:54.740
 Christians

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:56.419
 are those

00:05:56.419 --> 00:05:57.560
 who believe

00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:58.060
 in the God

00:05:58.060 --> 00:05:58.500
 that is bigger

00:05:58.500 --> 00:05:58.919
 than us,

00:05:58.979 --> 00:05:59.199
 right?

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:00.819
 I love the way

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:01.299
 we open

00:06:01.299 --> 00:06:02.539
 the retreat.

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:03.639
 We have a picture

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:04.620
 of the stars,

00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:05.979
 the galaxies,

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:07.419
 a God

00:06:07.419 --> 00:06:08.039
 that is big,

00:06:09.099 --> 00:06:09.560
 a God

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:10.339
 that is huge,

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:11.319
 a God

00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:12.419
 that is transcendent,

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:14.579
 and in our singing

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:15.000
 earlier,

00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.339
 it's really God-centered.

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:17.719
 I don't know

00:06:17.719 --> 00:06:18.039
 whether you know

00:06:18.039 --> 00:06:18.419
 this about

00:06:18.419 --> 00:06:19.439
 the lyrics

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.259
 of those songs.

00:06:20.539 --> 00:06:21.159
 We're praising

00:06:21.159 --> 00:06:22.419
 a God,

00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:23.399
 a King,

00:06:23.979 --> 00:06:24.639
 who is big,

00:06:25.099 --> 00:06:25.699
 who is mighty,

00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:27.639
 and He is with us.

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:29.399
 He dwells with us.

00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:29.800
 Now,

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:30.180
 that is meant

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:30.719
 to blow

00:06:30.719 --> 00:06:32.079
 your mind.

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:33.099
 That is meant

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:34.220
 to lead us

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:36.120
 into worship.

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:38.560
 And therefore,

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:39.800
 as Christians,

00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:40.640
 because we believe

00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:41.020
 in the God

00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:41.600
 that is bigger

00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.100
 than us,

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:43.860
 that is transcendent.

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:44.920
 Now,

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:45.340
 what it means

00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:45.960
 is that we cannot

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:46.780
 fully understand Him.

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:47.879
 Are we okay

00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:48.200
 with that?

00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:49.280
 In some ways.

00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:50.280
 And yet,

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:51.140
 at the same time,

00:06:51.460 --> 00:06:52.000
 His attention,

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:52.780
 we cannot fully

00:06:52.780 --> 00:06:53.580
 understand Him,

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.480
 but He has chosen

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.460
 to make Himself

00:06:56.460 --> 00:06:57.920
 known to us,

00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.140
 you and I,

00:06:59.820 --> 00:07:00.340
 in a deeply

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:00.960
 personal way.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.819
 and He has

00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:03.579
 given to us

00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:04.399
 His Word,

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:05.759
 the Bible,

00:07:06.379 --> 00:07:07.259
 which is why

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:09.000
 from the get-go,

00:07:09.359 --> 00:07:09.939
 we look at the

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:10.560
 Word of Jesus

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.099
 from the Scriptures.

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.560
 So,

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:13.979
 there are all

00:07:13.979 --> 00:07:14.560
 these things

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.359
 that I'm mentioning

00:07:15.359 --> 00:07:16.219
 to you right now.

00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:16.659
 I'm actually

00:07:16.659 --> 00:07:17.439
 inviting you

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:18.299
 to simply

00:07:18.299 --> 00:07:19.679
 take God's words

00:07:19.679 --> 00:07:20.560
 as it is

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.740
 and believe it.

00:07:22.179 --> 00:07:22.719
 The Scripture

00:07:22.719 --> 00:07:24.000
 presents to us

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.079
 a God

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.000
 that is one,

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:27.179
 one God.

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.240
 that's the emphasis

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.300
 of the entire Old Testament.

00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:29.939
 The Lord,

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:30.420
 our God,

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:30.920
 is one.

00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:32.180
 And one God,

00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:34.240
 three persons.

00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:35.519
 Three persons.

00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:37.740
 The Father sent the Son.

00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:39.960
 The Son went to the cross.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.360
 And now,

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:42.860
 as the Son

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:44.720
 is interceding for us

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.379
 at the right hand

00:07:45.379 --> 00:07:45.860
 of the Father,

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.000
 we have the Spirit

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:47.920
 dwelling

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.300
 with us

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:51.000
 and in us.

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.040
 One God,

00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:54.079
 three persons.

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:54.879
 Now,

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:55.939
 that's the unique feature

00:07:55.939 --> 00:07:56.600
 of the Christian faith.

00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:57.800
 Are you all okay with that?

00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.459
 I just want to make sure

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:58.779
 that we are all

00:07:58.779 --> 00:07:59.339
 on the same page.

00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:01.459
 That is huge.

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:02.279
 That is huge.

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:02.439
 Now,

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.040
 someone once said

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.540
 that if the Christian faith

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:05.339
 is a scam,

00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:07.560
 someone tried to make money

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:08.259
 by creating,

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:09.199
 inventing a religion,

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:10.079
 this would not be

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:10.740
 one of the features.

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:13.779
 Because no matter

00:08:13.779 --> 00:08:14.819
 whoever tried

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:15.519
 to explain it,

00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.240
 you are going

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:16.920
 to make yourself

00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:17.860
 look a little bit foolish

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:18.259
 and stupid

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:18.920
 because you cannot

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.839
 quite fully

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.759
 explain how it works.

00:08:22.459 --> 00:08:22.839
 If you want

00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:23.480
 to invent a cow,

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:24.699
 you want to make sure

00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:25.159
 that it's something

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.080
 that you can share

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:26.400
 with people

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:27.100
 in a way

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:27.580
 that they think

00:08:27.580 --> 00:08:28.280
 that you are smart.

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:30.600
 But any pastors,

00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:32.180
 any theologians,

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.000
 any preachers

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.500
 who try to,

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:34.820
 you know,

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:35.779
 use our own intelligence

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:36.480
 to make sense

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.200
 of the Holy Spirit,

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.500
 are going to come away

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:38.960
 feeling like

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.160
 that doesn't quite

00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:41.000
 fully satisfy

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:41.899
 or answer all the questions.

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:42.940
 And that is okay, guys.

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:44.240
 That is okay

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:45.340
 because we serve

00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:46.500
 and we believe

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:47.740
 in a transcendent God.

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:49.000
 So that is how

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:49.740
 I want to begin

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:50.920
 before we go

00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:51.519
 into

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.100
 the person

00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:53.920
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:55.340
 We are going to look

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:57.560
 at Acts chapter 2

00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:58.639
 for a moment.

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:00.100
 The Holy Spirit

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:00.779
 is not a thing.

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:01.779
 He is not just

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:02.519
 feelings

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.899
 and emotions,

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.620
 a tingling sensation.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.519
 He is

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.500
 a person,

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:09.240
 the sovereign God

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:09.879
 of the universe.

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:10.960
 So let's turn

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:11.960
 to Acts chapter 2.

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:12.560
 This is how,

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.659
 this is a famous passage.

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.080
 I think many of us here

00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:15.639
 are familiar

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.000
 with Acts chapter 2,

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.000
 Pentecost.

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:19.620
 Are we there

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.300
 at Acts chapter 2?

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:22.160
 Just want to make sure

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:22.480
 we are there.

00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:23.379
 Let me read for us

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:24.659
 as you follow me along

00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:25.659
 in your Bible.

00:09:26.779 --> 00:09:27.659
 Acts chapter 2.

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:29.179
 When the day

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:30.480
 of Pentecost arrived,

00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.100
 they were all together

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:33.000
 in one place

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:33.899
 and suddenly

00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:35.219
 there came

00:09:35.219 --> 00:09:35.959
 from heaven

00:09:35.959 --> 00:09:37.019
 a sound

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:37.879
 like a mighty

00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.719
 rushing wind.

00:09:40.579 --> 00:09:41.059
 Now notice,

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:42.139
 this wind

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:42.819
 comes from

00:09:42.819 --> 00:09:43.699
 heaven.

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:44.740
 It doesn't come

00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:45.139
 from earth.

00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:46.620
 So the wind

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:47.720
 has arrived

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:48.379
 from heaven

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:49.679
 and it filled

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:50.679
 the entire house

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:51.659
 where they were sitting.

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.159
 And divided tongues

00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:53.819
 of fire

00:09:53.819 --> 00:09:54.899
 appeared to them

00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:55.740
 and rested

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:56.439
 on each one of them

00:09:56.439 --> 00:09:57.399
 and they were filled

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:58.519
 with the Holy Spirit

00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.839
 and began to speak

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:00.939
 in other tongues

00:10:00.939 --> 00:10:02.299
 as the Spirit

00:10:02.299 --> 00:10:03.059
 gave them

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:04.219
 utterance.

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:06.259
 We'll stop here

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:06.919
 for a moment.

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:08.219
 Pentecost

00:10:08.219 --> 00:10:10.219
 is a Jewish feast

00:10:10.219 --> 00:10:10.799
 seven weeks

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:11.519
 after the Passover

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.799
 to celebrate

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.480
 the first fruit

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.539
 of the wheat harvest.

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.819
 And for today,

00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:17.039
 for many of us,

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:17.839
 it is actually

00:10:17.839 --> 00:10:18.620
 seven weeks

00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:19.819
 after Easter Sunday

00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:21.700
 where we remember,

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:22.560
 where we celebrate

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:23.440
 the coming

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:24.340
 of the Holy Spirit

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:25.520
 upon the church.

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:26.500
 Now Acts

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:27.260
 is not an easy book

00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:27.540
 to read.

00:10:28.180 --> 00:10:29.000
 It's not easy at all.

00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:30.000
 It is descriptive.

00:10:30.900 --> 00:10:31.580
 It tells us

00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:32.080
 what happened.

00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:33.520
 It is not meant

00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:34.420
 to be prescriptive.

00:10:35.140 --> 00:10:35.760
 And when I put it

00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:36.000
 that way,

00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:36.600
 there are two ways

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.080
 that we can

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.640
 make error

00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:39.740
 in how we read

00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:40.180
 and apply

00:10:40.180 --> 00:10:40.960
 the book of Acts.

00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:42.080
 Not just this portion

00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.800
 but the whole book.

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.060
 If we say

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:44.560
 that this is

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:46.820
 supposed to be

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:48.040
 prescriptive,

00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:48.539
 that means

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:49.899
 whatever happens here,

00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:51.379
 let's try to apply this

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:52.319
 by copying

00:10:52.319 --> 00:10:53.319
 what's happening here.

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:54.480
 I'm going to go

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.799
 to places where

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.579
 it's just going to feel

00:10:57.579 --> 00:10:58.860
 really, really odd

00:10:58.860 --> 00:11:00.679
 because these are

00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.399
 actually records

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.240
 of what happened

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.799
 and it's not

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:04.500
 so straightforward

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.059
 in terms of how

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:06.059
 we apply it

00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:06.719
 in the here and now.

00:11:07.219 --> 00:11:07.980
 But if we say

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.679
 that this is purely

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:09.099
 descriptive

00:11:09.099 --> 00:11:11.259
 and let's not try

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:12.159
 to emulate

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.219
 what's going on here,

00:11:13.579 --> 00:11:14.039
 again,

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:15.159
 we lose sight

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.139
 of how valuable

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:17.539
 this text is

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:19.000
 in imparting to us

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.539
 wisdom

00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:20.879
 and revealing to us

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.240
 who God is.

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:22.919
 So,

00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:23.980
 let's talk air

00:11:23.980 --> 00:11:25.120
 or leader extreme.

00:11:25.579 --> 00:11:26.439
 But what is this text

00:11:26.439 --> 00:11:27.399
 really saying,

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:28.599
 let me just try

00:11:28.599 --> 00:11:30.639
 to lower down

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:31.299
 my bar

00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:33.199
 by saying that

00:11:33.199 --> 00:11:33.860
 I'm not here

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:34.439
 to teach you

00:11:34.439 --> 00:11:35.099
 techniques

00:11:35.099 --> 00:11:36.639
 but the first part,

00:11:36.699 --> 00:11:37.339
 the first 30 minutes,

00:11:37.819 --> 00:11:38.839
 if the takeaway

00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:40.339
 is that the Holy Spirit

00:11:40.339 --> 00:11:41.860
 is a person

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:43.079
 and He is fully,

00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:43.899
 He is God,

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:44.939
 that would be

00:11:44.939 --> 00:11:46.120
 a great outcome.

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.500
 But let me build

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:47.980
 my case

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:49.279
 from this text.

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.000
 Now,

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:50.580
 notice

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.759
 in the first

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.740
 few verses

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.860
 of Acts chapter 2,

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.220
 you have

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:56.220
 reference of

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:57.580
 mighty rushing

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.080
 winds

00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:58.899
 from heaven.

00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.399
 Winds.

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:00.799
 I know that

00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.500
 over the past few

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:01.779
 weeks there were

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:02.639
 typhoons in this city,

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:02.860
 right?

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.080
 One or two.

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.840
 I am really glad

00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.379
 that I arrived

00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:08.320
 just after the typhoon.

00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:11.039
 But you guys

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.039
 experience typhoon.

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:12.519
 We don't get to

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:13.159
 experience typhoon

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.639
 in Singapore.

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:14.340
 And my kids,

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:14.799
 when they arrive,

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:15.060
 they're like,

00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:15.939
 it would be exciting

00:12:15.939 --> 00:12:16.819
 if we can bump

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:17.319
 into a typhoon.

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:17.539
 I'm like,

00:12:17.599 --> 00:12:17.919
 no.

00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:19.739
 No,

00:12:19.859 --> 00:12:20.539
 you're a mighty

00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:21.519
 rushing wind.

00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:22.259
 We're talking about

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:23.039
 really,

00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.500
 really unusual

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.119
 kind of wind

00:12:25.119 --> 00:12:26.639
 that came down

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:27.239
 from heaven,

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:28.459
 that they knew

00:12:28.459 --> 00:12:29.239
 this is supernatural.

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:30.759
 And what else

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.979
 do we see here?

00:12:32.319 --> 00:12:32.639
 Fire.

00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:34.099
 Fire,

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:34.819
 right in this text.

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:36.500
 Prophetic

00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:37.599
 utterance.

00:12:38.699 --> 00:12:38.839
 Now,

00:12:38.859 --> 00:12:39.379
 do you know

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.339
 that these are

00:12:40.339 --> 00:12:41.739
 all little,

00:12:41.739 --> 00:12:42.579
 little clues

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:43.900
 images

00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:45.379
 from the Old Testament?

00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:47.639
 Let me give you

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.139
 some examples.

00:12:49.020 --> 00:12:49.560
 Maybe let's

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:50.120
 don't go back

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:50.840
 to Old Testament first.

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:51.540
 Let's look at

00:12:51.540 --> 00:12:52.120
 the book of Luke.

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:53.160
 Because Acts

00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:53.820
 is written by

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:54.340
 the same author,

00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:55.340
 Dr. Luke.

00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:57.020
 In Luke chapter 3,

00:12:57.060 --> 00:12:57.440
 you don't have to

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:57.879
 turn to your Bible,

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.700
 but let me read for us.

00:12:59.120 --> 00:12:59.960
 This is what Luke said.

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:00.940
 I baptize you

00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:01.400
 in water,

00:13:01.520 --> 00:13:02.340
 but he who is

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:03.200
 mightier than I

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.639
 is coming.

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.080
 The strap

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.080
 of whose sandal

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.780
 I'm not worthy

00:13:05.780 --> 00:13:06.379
 to untie.

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.780
 He will baptize you

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:09.459
 with the Holy Spirit

00:13:09.459 --> 00:13:10.459
 and with

00:13:10.459 --> 00:13:11.600
 fire.

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:13.120
 Fire.

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:13.839
 So,

00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:14.539
 this is a fulfillment

00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:16.339
 of what John the Baptist

00:13:16.339 --> 00:13:16.639
 said.

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:17.299
 So,

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.860
 and we see

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:19.779
 further back

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:20.759
 in the Old Testament,

00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:21.819
 2 Samuel.

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.659
 Let me just read for us

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:23.659
 one verse from 2 Samuel.

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.199
 When the Lord appears,

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.759
 this is how Samuel

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.179
 describes,

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.220
 the channels

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:29.319
 of the seas

00:13:29.319 --> 00:13:30.039
 were seen.

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:31.139
 Like the seas,

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:33.100
 you can actually see

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:33.879
 what's going on

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.339
 under the sea.

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.139
 The foundation

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:36.220
 of the world

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.720
 were laid bare

00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.019
 at the rebuke

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:39.940
 of the Lord,

00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.060
 at the blast

00:13:41.060 --> 00:13:42.259
 of his breath.

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:43.200
 Now,

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.500
 Samuel described

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:44.840
 to us

00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:45.480
 a God

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.320
 that is majestic,

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.660
 a God

00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:50.300
 that is huge.

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:51.660
 Or what about

00:13:51.660 --> 00:13:52.100
 the psalmist

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.720
 in Psalm 18?

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.980
 The earth rocked

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:56.860
 the foundations

00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:58.240
 of the mountains

00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:58.920
 tremble

00:13:58.920 --> 00:13:59.779
 and quits

00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:00.420
 because

00:14:00.420 --> 00:14:01.700
 he was angry.

00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:02.879
 Smokes

00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.519
 went up

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.259
 from his nostrils

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:05.019
 and devouring

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:05.920
 fire from his

00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:06.779
 mouth.

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:08.019
 Verse 13

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.599
 of Psalm 18,

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:10.279
 the Lord

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:11.379
 thundered in the heavens

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.379
 and the Most High

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.500
 uttered his voice

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:14.860
 and he flashed

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.679
 forth lightnings

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.379
 and routed them.

00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:17.759
 Now,

00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:18.439
 do you notice

00:14:18.439 --> 00:14:18.779
 the pattern?

00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:19.879
 Storms,

00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:21.240
 fire,

00:14:22.319 --> 00:14:23.339
 majestic signs

00:14:23.339 --> 00:14:24.620
 of great power,

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:25.740
 all these,

00:14:26.479 --> 00:14:26.919
 they were

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:28.000
 imageries

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.059
 of the presence

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:29.459
 of God.

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:30.919
 Whenever God

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.379
 arrived,

00:14:32.319 --> 00:14:32.740
 we go back

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.259
 to Exodus

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:34.039
 in Mount Sinai,

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.959
 there was

00:14:35.959 --> 00:14:36.620
 smoke,

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.399
 there was

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.099
 fire,

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.219
 thunder,

00:14:40.219 --> 00:14:40.419
 and the

00:14:40.419 --> 00:14:40.879
 descending

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.799
 of God,

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:42.480
 his very

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.159
 presence

00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.219
 where Moses

00:14:45.219 --> 00:14:46.659
 came close.

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:47.439
 He was beaming

00:14:47.439 --> 00:14:47.899
 with glory.

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:49.219
 So that is

00:14:49.219 --> 00:14:49.579
 the presence

00:14:49.579 --> 00:14:49.959
 of God.

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:50.980
 Now,

00:14:51.819 --> 00:14:52.500
 there's one more

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.159
 thing in the book

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.899
 of Numbers

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:54.899
 which may give us

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:55.419
 some clue

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:56.620
 to Acts 2,

00:14:56.839 --> 00:14:57.719
 prophetic utterance.

00:14:58.559 --> 00:14:59.240
 In Numbers 11,

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.840
 when the Lord

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:00.419
 came down

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:00.940
 in the cloud

00:15:00.940 --> 00:15:02.360
 and spoke

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.259
 to Moses,

00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:04.320
 he took

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:04.700
 some of his

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:05.000
 spirit

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.279
 and put it

00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.960
 on 70

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:07.419
 elders.

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:08.279
 Numbers 11,

00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:08.740
 verse 25,

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.500
 I'm reading

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:09.879
 from that.

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:10.820
 And as soon

00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:11.360
 as the spirit

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.180
 rested on them,

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:13.019
 they prophesied.

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:14.220
 They spoke.

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.039
 So,

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.000
 again,

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.080
 Acts chapter 2

00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:18.200
 is helping us

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:18.580
 to see a

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.060
 continuation

00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:20.320
 of the whole

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:20.600
 Bible.

00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:22.159
 That whenever

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:22.919
 the presence

00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:23.419
 of God

00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:24.139
 arrived,

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.779
 it is accompanied

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:25.560
 by these signs.

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.839
 fire,

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.399
 storms,

00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:30.839
 things that

00:15:30.839 --> 00:15:31.819
 are frightening

00:15:31.819 --> 00:15:32.599
 and scary

00:15:32.599 --> 00:15:33.919
 because who

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.419
 can tame

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:34.759
 the Lord?

00:15:35.579 --> 00:15:36.239
 Who can tame

00:15:36.239 --> 00:15:36.399
 the Lord?

00:15:36.439 --> 00:15:37.059
 He's not

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:38.359
 to be controlled

00:15:38.359 --> 00:15:39.319
 or summoned

00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.319
 by us.

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:41.299
 He's sovereign.

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.819
 He is God.

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:43.559
 He's the spirit

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:43.879
 of God.

00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:44.459
 And then,

00:15:44.579 --> 00:15:45.299
 we see here

00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:45.899
 utterance,

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:46.699
 words,

00:15:47.619 --> 00:15:48.079
 that come

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:48.939
 from the mouth

00:15:48.939 --> 00:15:49.399
 of man,

00:15:50.459 --> 00:15:51.179
 declaring who

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:51.559
 he is,

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.319
 declaring his

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:52.619
 holiness.

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:53.939
 Now,

00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:54.719
 what do you think

00:15:54.719 --> 00:15:55.119
 is my point

00:15:55.119 --> 00:15:55.319
 here?

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:56.819
 In the first

00:15:56.819 --> 00:15:57.239
 four verses

00:15:57.239 --> 00:15:59.279
 of Acts

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.199
 chapter 2.

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:00.919
 Maybe I should

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:01.199
 put it there.

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:01.799
 What do you think

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.699
 is the Bible's

00:16:02.699 --> 00:16:03.659
 point in those

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:05.099
 first four verses

00:16:05.099 --> 00:16:06.199
 describing

00:16:06.199 --> 00:16:06.719
 Pentecost?

00:16:11.119 --> 00:16:11.979
 The Lord

00:16:11.979 --> 00:16:14.019
 has arrived.

00:16:15.619 --> 00:16:16.559
 The Lord

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.059
 God,

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.579
 Yahweh,

00:16:19.859 --> 00:16:20.559
 the Lord

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.099
 who cannot

00:16:22.099 --> 00:16:22.779
 even be named,

00:16:22.939 --> 00:16:23.399
 he has

00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:24.559
 arrived.

00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.000
 he has

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:26.359
 arrived.

00:16:26.579 --> 00:16:27.039
 He has

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:27.659
 come,

00:16:28.739 --> 00:16:29.139
 he has

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:29.599
 fulfilled

00:16:29.599 --> 00:16:30.179
 his promise

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:30.719
 to dwell

00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:31.359
 among us.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.839
 Through Jesus,

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:33.399
 through what

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:33.959
 he has done,

00:16:34.459 --> 00:16:35.000
 his spirit

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.379
 will now

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:35.799
 be poured

00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:36.979
 out upon

00:16:36.979 --> 00:16:38.239
 all of us.

00:16:39.439 --> 00:16:39.839
 Now,

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.479
 you know what

00:16:41.479 --> 00:16:41.919
 happened when we

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.779
 read Acts chapter 2,

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:43.839
 those four verses?

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.919
 We tend to skip

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.299
 past them really

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:47.519
 quickly.

00:16:47.599 --> 00:16:48.119
 I don't know about you.

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.239
 I tend to skip

00:16:49.239 --> 00:16:49.799
 past those four

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:50.539
 verses very quickly

00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:51.219
 and go down

00:16:51.219 --> 00:16:51.740
 to the actions,

00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:51.980
 right?

00:16:52.699 --> 00:16:53.179
 Because right

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:53.579
 after that,

00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:54.360
 you have tongues,

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.059
 you have

00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:56.339
 an outstanding

00:16:56.339 --> 00:16:57.279
 sermon from Peter

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:58.139
 and you have

00:16:58.139 --> 00:16:58.579
 things that

00:16:58.579 --> 00:16:58.799
 happen,

00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.319
 you have the

00:16:59.319 --> 00:17:00.099
 community coming

00:17:00.099 --> 00:17:00.500
 together,

00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:01.279
 and then you

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:01.899
 have signs and

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.719
 wonders that

00:17:02.719 --> 00:17:04.139
 follow after

00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:05.259
 this chapter.

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:06.079
 That becomes

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:06.779
 something that

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:07.200
 the apostles

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.159
 experience and

00:17:09.159 --> 00:17:10.700
 do as they

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.159
 preach and

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:11.559
 proclaim the

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:11.859
 gospel.

00:17:12.659 --> 00:17:12.980
 And we

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.579
 often read the

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:14.180
 book of Acts,

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.319
 particularly Acts

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:15.839
 chapter 2,

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:16.720
 asking,

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.259
 what is this

00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:17.759
 about us?

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:19.400
 What does this

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.000
 passage tell us

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.519
 about what we

00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.799
 must do to

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.180
 experience this

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:23.480
 power?

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:25.960
 Can I just

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.420
 lovingly encourage

00:17:27.420 --> 00:17:27.700
 you,

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:28.779
 Wondermark Church,

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.319
 and I say the

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:29.579
 same to

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:30.119
 Redemption 2

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:30.480
 Church as

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:30.619
 well,

00:17:30.660 --> 00:17:31.119
 whenever we

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:31.539
 come to a

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:31.799
 text,

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.220
 let's first ask

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:33.519
 the question,

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.079
 what does this

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.640
 reveal about

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:34.960
 God?

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.259
 How big,

00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:37.519
 how marvelous,

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.180
 how praiseworthy

00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:40.279
 He is?

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.660
 This is a

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:43.200
 declaration of

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.279
 the Lord's

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.400
 arrival.

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:47.000
 And this

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.079
 must cause to

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.660
 my and

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:50.460
 obvious question,

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.440
 how can the

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:52.880
 big,

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:54.619
 transcendent

00:17:54.619 --> 00:17:56.220
 God dwells

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:57.000
 in you and

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.160
 I?

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.259
 Thank you for

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.579
 your prayer

00:17:59.579 --> 00:17:59.880
 earlier,

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.200
 Kevin.

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.160
 I appreciate

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:01.579
 the part when

00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:01.920
 you mentioned

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:02.359
 that this is

00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:02.920
 a fellow

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.160
 sinner,

00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:06.660
 this is just

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:07.980
 a man used

00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:08.480
 by God,

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:09.420
 filled by

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:09.839
 His Spirit,

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:10.339
 here,

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:11.079
 wanting to

00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.740
 serve you

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.559
 and love

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:12.700
 you,

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.160
 not because

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:13.660
 of me,

00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:14.500
 but because

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:14.880
 of God.

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.680
 And I

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:17.260
 often find

00:18:17.260 --> 00:18:17.760
 myself

00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:18.160
 wondering,

00:18:18.340 --> 00:18:18.700
 how can

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:19.620
 God use

00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:20.700
 an unworthy

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.100
 man like

00:18:21.100 --> 00:18:21.260
 me?

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:22.960
 And the

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.580
 only way

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:24.300
 I can make

00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:24.660
 sense of

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.400
 it is to

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:25.620
 look to

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:26.040
 the cross.

00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:27.420
 Jesus,

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:29.780
 Jesus is

00:18:29.780 --> 00:18:30.040
 the only

00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:30.400
 reason.

00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:31.500
 Let me

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:31.660
 just,

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.360
 before I

00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:32.520
 continue,

00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:32.720
 let me

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:32.940
 just share

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.140
 a little

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:33.340
 bit of

00:18:33.340 --> 00:18:33.500
 my

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:33.860
 testimony.

00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:35.160
 This is

00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:35.500
 the church

00:18:35.500 --> 00:18:35.760
 that I

00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:36.000
 met for

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.240
 the first

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.440
 time.

00:18:36.540 --> 00:18:36.680
 I think

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:36.800
 it's

00:18:36.800 --> 00:18:37.020
 helpful,

00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:37.360
 just a

00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:37.560
 bit of

00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:37.660
 an

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:37.980
 introduction.

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:39.860
 I came

00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:40.420
 to faith,

00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:41.820
 I mean,

00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:42.680
 there's actually

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:43.000
 a few

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:44.160
 parts where

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:45.039
 I felt

00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:45.240
 that I

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.559
 was born

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:45.799
 again.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.400
 I don't

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:46.759
 know whether

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:46.920
 it's

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.299
 theologically

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:47.880
 correct to

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.059
 put it

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:48.420
 that way.

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.220
 I was born

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:49.819
 again once,

00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:50.339
 born again a

00:18:50.339 --> 00:18:50.779
 second time,

00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:51.019
 and there

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.259
 were like

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:52.039
 three occasions

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:52.519
 when I felt

00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:52.940
 I had this

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.500
 born again

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.180
 experience.

00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:54.539
 The first

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:54.960
 time was

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.440
 when I was

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:55.819
 a teenager

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:56.259
 in my late

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:56.500
 teens,

00:18:56.619 --> 00:18:57.599
 standing a

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.680
 mega church

00:18:58.680 --> 00:18:59.099
 environment.

00:18:59.299 --> 00:18:59.799
 A friend

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:00.480
 invited me

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:00.799
 to their

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.160
 church,

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.559
 and the

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.039
 pastors was

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.500
 talking about

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:03.839
 hell,

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.220
 and I was

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:04.720
 terrified,

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:05.880
 and I rushed

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.359
 forward to

00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:08.119
 receive the

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:08.720
 salvation,

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:09.180
 say the

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:09.500
 sinner's

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:09.720
 prayer,

00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:11.539
 and the

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.119
 idea that I

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.740
 had was I

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:13.440
 go to hell,

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:14.759
 and this

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.079
 church

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.619
 focused a

00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:17.079
 lot on

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.319
 love,

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:19.299
 and how

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:19.640
 God will

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:20.240
 help me

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:20.599
 in my

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:20.960
 studies,

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.259
 and my

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.440
 career,

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:21.740
 so I

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:22.000
 want to

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.200
 have a

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:22.599
 good life

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:22.960
 now,

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:23.680
 through the

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:24.019
 help of

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.500
 this God,

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.140
 Jesus,

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:25.720
 his name,

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.660
 and after

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:26.960
 that,

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:28.099
 I got a

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:28.579
 free ticket

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:29.220
 out from

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:29.720
 hell into

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.000
 heaven,

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:30.319
 so that's

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:30.559
 quite a

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:30.839
 good deal,

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:31.400
 so I

00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:32.180
 signed up

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:32.400
 for that

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:32.740
 by raising

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.140
 my hand

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:33.720
 and said

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.079
 a prayer,

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:34.460
 and I

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:34.759
 was at

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.660
 age 19.

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:36.759
 At

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.579
 age 24,

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.660
 it was

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.019
 about 20

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:39.440
 years ago,

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.819
 my life was

00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:41.339
 falling apart,

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.440
 I was

00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:43.120
 really,

00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:43.539
 really

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:44.220
 downcast,

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.920
 things were

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.420
 so bad

00:19:46.420 --> 00:19:46.759
 that I

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.360
 missed an

00:19:47.360 --> 00:19:47.660
 exam

00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:48.000
 paper,

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:48.960
 because I

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.779
 felt so,

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:50.940
 I think back

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:51.140
 then,

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:51.740
 20 years ago,

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.220
 the word

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.980
 depression wasn't

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.420
 quite commonly

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:53.660
 used,

00:19:53.820 --> 00:19:53.840
 right,

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:54.380
 I think now,

00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:55.240
 in the past

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.400
 five to

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:56.820
 seven years

00:19:56.820 --> 00:19:57.279
 or so,

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.320
 mental health

00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.160
 awareness has

00:19:59.160 --> 00:19:59.660
 become a

00:19:59.660 --> 00:19:59.840
 thing,

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.640
 20 years ago,

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:02.720
 if you feel

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.160
 depressed,

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:03.519
 and you tell

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.000
 your parents

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.380
 that you feel

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:04.740
 depressed,

00:20:04.820 --> 00:20:05.100
 what do you

00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:05.299
 think they

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.519
 would tell

00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:05.820
 you to do?

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:06.159
 don't be

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:06.599
 depressed,

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:08.519
 right,

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.419
 just get out

00:20:09.419 --> 00:20:09.740
 of bed,

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.919
 and do

00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:11.500
 something about

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:11.679
 it,

00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:12.759
 but that was

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.119
 the first

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.619
 time I

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:14.139
 felt that

00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:15.179
 whatever

00:20:15.179 --> 00:20:16.500
 confidence I

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.039
 had as a

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:17.500
 young man,

00:20:17.679 --> 00:20:18.240
 everything was

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.799
 falling apart,

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.799
 and I

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:21.720
 experienced

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.059
 God's grace

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.759
 and goodness

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.759
 in my life,

00:20:24.899 --> 00:20:25.500
 I fell on my

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:25.779
 knee,

00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:26.980
 and I

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.419
 confessed to

00:20:27.419 --> 00:20:27.720
 him that

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:27.879
 God,

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:28.419
 all this while

00:20:28.419 --> 00:20:28.819
 I've been

00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:29.659
 using you,

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:30.879
 I've been

00:20:30.879 --> 00:20:31.559
 using you

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.159
 to get

00:20:32.159 --> 00:20:32.440
 what I

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:32.639
 want,

00:20:33.379 --> 00:20:33.799
 and now

00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:34.279
 I realize

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:34.619
 that going

00:20:34.619 --> 00:20:34.940
 on my

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:35.359
 way is

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:35.740
 bad for

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:35.940
 me,

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:36.839
 I want

00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:37.359
 to trust

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:37.639
 in a

00:20:37.639 --> 00:20:38.059
 better way,

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:38.839
 help me,

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.079
 so I

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.059
 don't know

00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:41.579
 which is the

00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.299
 exact conversion

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:43.139
 experience,

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.480
 but at age

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.059
 34 that was

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:45.639
 very profound,

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:47.359
 in my late

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.259
 20s I had

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:48.879
 another profound

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:49.460
 experience,

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.039
 where I

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.779
 literally was

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:52.000
 shivering in

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.359
 the presence

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:52.740
 of God,

00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:53.099
 I was

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:53.539
 terrified,

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:55.819
 there would

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.240
 be a workshop

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.759
 later on about

00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.299
 reform and

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:57.700
 charismatic,

00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:58.019
 right,

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:59.099
 that was the

00:20:59.099 --> 00:20:59.659
 time when I

00:20:59.659 --> 00:21:01.200
 understood the

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.160
 reform theology

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.840
 for the first

00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:04.100
 time,

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.799
 that God

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.660
 is sovereign,

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.720
 and as I

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.100
 look at his

00:21:07.100 --> 00:21:07.360
 word,

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.360
 as I realize

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:08.840
 that this

00:21:08.840 --> 00:21:09.960
 cannot be

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.580
 written by

00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:11.620
 mere human

00:21:11.620 --> 00:21:12.019
 beings,

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.180
 there was a

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:13.680
 sense of

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:14.860
 fear that

00:21:14.860 --> 00:21:15.240
 filled me,

00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:16.080
 that God

00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:16.480
 is real,

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.440
 that God

00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:17.960
 is meek,

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.519
 and when I

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:19.840
 think about

00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:20.700
 my sin,

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.640
 even as a

00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.019
 Christian,

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:22.620
 there were

00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:23.420
 many moments

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:24.100
 where I

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:24.519
 will call

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.059
 that I

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:25.640
 fall into

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:26.000
 sins,

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:26.259
 or I

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.539
 fall into

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:27.220
 temptations,

00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:28.620
 but you

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:28.799
 want to

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:29.039
 know the

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:29.319
 truth?

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:30.220
 The truth

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.480
 is I

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:30.880
 disobey,

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:32.860
 and calling

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.480
 that falling

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.340
 into sin

00:21:34.340 --> 00:21:35.640
 often makes

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.160
 it sound

00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.600
 like I'm

00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:37.880
 just a

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:38.460
 victim of

00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:39.519
 temptations,

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:40.519
 of unmet

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:40.860
 needs,

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.860
 of circumstances,

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.100
 I start to

00:21:43.100 --> 00:21:43.380
 use the

00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:44.059
 language of

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:44.480
 God,

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.220
 I disobey

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:45.519
 you,

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:46.840
 and I

00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:47.019
 need to

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.420
 repent

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:47.980
 before you,

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:49.019
 and I

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.259
 need to

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:49.660
 have the

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:50.299
 fear of

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:51.400
 you put

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:51.799
 in me,

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:52.720
 and I

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:52.920
 need to

00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:53.259
 take my

00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:53.600
 walk

00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:54.220
 seriously,

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:54.660
 and I

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:54.880
 need to

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.299
 know that

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:56.019
 I am a

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.539
 temple of

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:56.900
 the Holy

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.220
 Spirit,

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:57.720
 I'm

00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:57.980
 called to

00:21:57.980 --> 00:21:58.440
 be holy

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:59.299
 as you

00:21:59.299 --> 00:21:59.759
 are holy,

00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:02.100
 that was

00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:03.360
 my turn,

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.340
 I don't know

00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:04.580
 whether it's

00:22:04.580 --> 00:22:04.840
 quite a

00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:05.180
 born again

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:05.580
 experience,

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.259
 but it was

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.539
 very,

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.100
 very profound,

00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.660
 it was very

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:07.880
 profound,

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:08.960
 so those

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.980
 three points

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:11.220
 made me

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:12.740
 realize how

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.059
 big,

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.039
 how good

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.820
 God is

00:22:14.820 --> 00:22:15.660
 to a

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:15.880
 sinner

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.080
 like myself,

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:18.439
 and here's

00:22:18.439 --> 00:22:18.799
 how I've

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:19.240
 grown in

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:19.879
 experiencing

00:22:19.879 --> 00:22:20.259
 the Holy

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:20.519
 Spirit,

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:20.819
 when I

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:21.299
 was young,

00:22:22.159 --> 00:22:22.439
 when I

00:22:22.439 --> 00:22:22.839
 think about

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:24.319
 the experience

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.699
 of the Holy

00:22:24.699 --> 00:22:24.899
 Spirit,

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.419
 it is always

00:22:25.419 --> 00:22:25.919
 something that

00:22:25.919 --> 00:22:26.639
 comforts me,

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:27.359
 it is always

00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:27.799
 something that

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:28.439
 makes me feel

00:22:28.439 --> 00:22:29.460
 delightful,

00:22:30.179 --> 00:22:30.799
 and love,

00:22:31.879 --> 00:22:32.559
 and as I

00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.099
 grow older,

00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:34.419
 I begin to

00:22:34.419 --> 00:22:34.919
 realize that

00:22:34.919 --> 00:22:35.299
 the Holy

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:35.639
 Spirit,

00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:36.159
 if God

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:36.579
 is to be

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.019
 God,

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:37.720
 and I

00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.079
 am to be

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:38.579
 a worshiper

00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:39.119
 of God,

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:39.879
 often the

00:22:39.879 --> 00:22:40.259
 Holy Spirit

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:40.879
 comes in

00:22:40.879 --> 00:22:41.480
 the form of

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.000
 disagreement,

00:22:42.919 --> 00:22:43.419
 comes in

00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:43.819
 the form of

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:44.240
 telling me

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:44.439
 that,

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:44.659
 hey,

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.579
 you are

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:45.980
 walking the

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.419
 wrong way,

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:47.140
 turn back,

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:47.940
 hey,

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.480
 your heart,

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.640
 your heart,

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:50.060
 though your

00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:51.100
 actions may

00:22:51.100 --> 00:22:51.620
 seem right,

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:52.460
 there are

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:52.960
 areas in

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.420
 your hearts

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.340
 that are

00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:54.660
 not right

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.220
 before God,

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:56.519
 even for

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.120
 the right

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:57.539
 things that

00:22:57.539 --> 00:22:57.840
 you do

00:22:57.840 --> 00:22:58.100
 with the

00:22:58.100 --> 00:22:58.279
 wrong

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.700
 motive,

00:22:59.640 --> 00:22:59.920
 the Holy

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:00.440
 Spirit often

00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:01.120
 convict me

00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:01.860
 towards

00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:02.259
 repentance,

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:03.940
 we come

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.259
 from a

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:04.519
 church,

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.000
 Redemption

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.200
 Hill

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.539
 church,

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.759
 how should

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:09.120
 I describe,

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.480
 we are

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.840
 big on

00:23:09.840 --> 00:23:10.720
 gospel,

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.440
 we are

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:11.720
 big on

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.160
 theology,

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:12.980
 and we

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.300
 are also

00:23:13.300 --> 00:23:13.700
 a church

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:13.900
 that

00:23:13.900 --> 00:23:14.380
 believe in

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:15.240
 vibrant

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.800
 community,

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.279
 so we

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:16.579
 want to

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:16.799
 make sure

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:17.039
 everyone

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.359
 is plugged

00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:17.639
 into the

00:23:17.639 --> 00:23:18.019
 community

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:18.599
 and serving

00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:19.059
 the city,

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.299
 we are a

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.579
 church who

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.079
 also believe

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:21.599
 highly in

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.160
 experiential

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:22.440
 faith,

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.559
 that the

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:24.220
 faith is

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:24.579
 not just

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.000
 something that

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.460
 we know

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.059
 intellectually,

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:27.079
 but it is

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:27.700
 to be applied

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:28.960
 in everyday's

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.240
 life,

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:29.980
 so I've

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.740
 grown from

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.579
 how in my

00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:32.099
 younger days

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:33.220
 that the

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.859
 experience of

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:34.119
 the Holy

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:34.759
 Spirit is

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:35.559
 maybe the

00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:36.240
 worship service,

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.160
 maybe in the

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.299
 way certain

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:39.000
 elements in

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:39.480
 the services

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.759
 is being

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.259
 designed,

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:42.960
 to a

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.539
 constant

00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:44.659
 daily

00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:45.539
 fellowship

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.859
 with God

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:48.319
 that often

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:48.759
 moved me

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.180
 to tears,

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:51.980
 I got

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.379
 sent a

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:52.579
 press

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:52.799
 period,

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.159
 man,

00:23:53.659 --> 00:23:53.859
 by the

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:54.099
 name of

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:54.559
 Tim Keller,

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.539
 and I

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:58.099
 just,

00:23:58.579 --> 00:23:58.980
 in the past

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.519
 few years,

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.559
 he's the

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:00.940
 guy that

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.339
 made me

00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:01.740
 tear up

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.119
 the most,

00:24:02.619 --> 00:24:02.819
 that's

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:03.200
 listening to

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.859
 his podcast

00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:04.619
 as I'm

00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:05.059
 driving and

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:05.339
 I'm just

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:06.139
 fascinated by

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:07.559
 how often

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.240
 when I'm

00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:09.139
 pointing to

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.799
 the bigness

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:10.960
 of Jesus,

00:24:11.659 --> 00:24:12.059
 the Spirit

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:12.519
 just convict

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:12.899
 my heart,

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:14.220
 this is

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:14.919
 Jesus,

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:15.519
 this is what

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:15.740
 he has

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.059
 done for

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:16.279
 you,

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:17.220
 and the

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:17.440
 Spirit

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.359
 convict and

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:18.740
 moved my

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:19.659
 heart towards

00:24:19.659 --> 00:24:20.700
 repentance and

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:22.240
 faith in

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.480
 Jesus.

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.859
 Now,

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:25.199
 we are

00:24:25.199 --> 00:24:25.479
 going to be

00:24:25.479 --> 00:24:25.819
 praying

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:27.240
 later on

00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.299
 for each

00:24:28.299 --> 00:24:28.599
 other,

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:29.519
 on that,

00:24:29.979 --> 00:24:30.279
 for the

00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:31.459
 Spirit to

00:24:31.459 --> 00:24:31.959
 fill us,

00:24:32.459 --> 00:24:32.939
 but not

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:34.500
 just in,

00:24:35.419 --> 00:24:35.799
 sometimes,

00:24:35.939 --> 00:24:36.500
 some of us,

00:24:36.659 --> 00:24:36.939
 when we

00:24:36.939 --> 00:24:37.599
 experience someone

00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.119
 praying over

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:38.279
 you,

00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:38.539
 you may not

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:39.039
 even experience

00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:39.419
 anything,

00:24:40.199 --> 00:24:40.479
 but you know

00:24:40.479 --> 00:24:40.779
 what faith

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.119
 look like?

00:24:42.619 --> 00:24:44.079
 Faith is

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.299
 living not

00:24:45.299 --> 00:24:45.740
 by sight,

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:46.759
 and not by

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:46.959
 our own

00:24:46.959 --> 00:24:47.379
 emotions,

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:48.099
 even when I

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.679
 don't feel

00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:48.879
 it,

00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.359
 I trust that

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:51.339
 God is at

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.479
 work,

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.000
 and that is

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:52.379
 the mark of

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:52.939
 the Holy Spirit.

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:55.740
 There is,

00:24:56.479 --> 00:24:57.119
 whenever we

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:57.500
 talk about

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:57.959
 the topic

00:24:57.959 --> 00:24:58.199
 of the

00:24:58.199 --> 00:24:58.639
 Holy Spirit,

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.319
 there is

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:00.919
 something that

00:25:00.919 --> 00:25:01.759
 we can

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.240
 often fall

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.539
 into,

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.959
 the language

00:25:04.959 --> 00:25:05.339
 of being

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:05.740
 filled by

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:05.979
 the Holy

00:25:05.979 --> 00:25:06.279
 Spirit,

00:25:06.879 --> 00:25:07.519
 being filled

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.839
 by the Holy

00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:08.019
 Spirit,

00:25:08.199 --> 00:25:08.639
 and you know

00:25:08.639 --> 00:25:08.759
 what,

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:09.119
 you and I

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:09.740
 are most

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.359
 prone to

00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.619
 respond to

00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:13.659
 words like

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:13.819
 that,

00:25:13.879 --> 00:25:14.279
 filled by the

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.559
 Holy Spirit,

00:25:14.699 --> 00:25:15.799
 we can

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:16.299
 sometimes think

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:16.919
 in terms of

00:25:16.919 --> 00:25:17.240
 this way,

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:17.979
 I have

00:25:17.979 --> 00:25:18.659
 three units

00:25:18.659 --> 00:25:19.079
 of the Holy

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:19.559
 Spirit right

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:19.819
 now,

00:25:20.479 --> 00:25:20.799
 I want

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.099
 more,

00:25:21.099 --> 00:25:22.480
 Kevin,

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:22.799
 can you

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.119
 pray for

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:23.399
 me so

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:23.579
 that I

00:25:23.579 --> 00:25:23.980
 can receive

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:24.599
 six units

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.299
 of the

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:25.740
 Holy Spirit,

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.439
 that there

00:25:27.439 --> 00:25:27.879
 is a sense

00:25:27.879 --> 00:25:28.279
 that we

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.899
 begin to

00:25:28.899 --> 00:25:29.939
 reduce the

00:25:29.939 --> 00:25:30.399
 Holy Spirit

00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:31.579
 to things,

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:32.179
 he's a

00:25:32.179 --> 00:25:32.379
 thing,

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.759
 or we

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.119
 begin to

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.759
 reduce any

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.059
 kind of

00:25:35.059 --> 00:25:35.619
 teachings of

00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:35.879
 the Holy

00:25:35.879 --> 00:25:36.199
 Spirit to

00:25:36.199 --> 00:25:36.659
 techniques,

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.819
 how can

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:38.939
 we summon

00:25:38.939 --> 00:25:39.319
 the Holy

00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:39.579
 Spirit?

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.179
 Now,

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:41.980
 let's consider

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.519
 for a moment,

00:25:43.179 --> 00:25:43.639
 the wind

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:44.139
 came from

00:25:44.139 --> 00:25:44.519
 heaven,

00:25:45.399 --> 00:25:45.939
 the signs

00:25:45.939 --> 00:25:46.559
 of fires

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.359
 and storms

00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:48.059
 point to the

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:48.519
 bigness of

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:48.740
 God.

00:25:50.159 --> 00:25:51.779
 Who can

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:52.299
 say that we

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:52.899
 can summon

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.240
 the Holy

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.279
 Spirit with

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:54.659
 a prayer?

00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:55.759
 Now,

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:56.940
 those who

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:58.299
 abide most

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.859
 deeply in the

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.379
 Holy Spirit

00:25:59.379 --> 00:26:00.440
 understand the

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.099
 Spirit bigness,

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.500
 and therefore,

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.519
 coming before

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:03.980
 the Spirit

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:05.539
 means surrender,

00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:08.240
 surrender and

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.759
 repentance.

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:10.700
 Another aspect

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.500
 of what it

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:12.019
 means to be a

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:12.519
 Spirit-filled

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.299
 church is that

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.980
 you and I,

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.159
 we are siblings.

00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:17.259
 I'm going to

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:17.779
 talk about that

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:18.559
 more in

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.059
 session 3,

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.319
 what it

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:19.700
 means to be

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.339
 brothers and

00:26:20.339 --> 00:26:21.359
 sisters in

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:21.700
 Christ,

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.399
 equal.

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:24.940
 There is a

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.460
 culture in

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:25.920
 our church,

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.480
 in Redemption

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:26.859
 Youth Church

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:27.899
 that we often

00:26:27.899 --> 00:26:29.319
 take for

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:29.639
 granted,

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:31.359
 because we

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:31.720
 are in an

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.119
 Asian city,

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.559
 similar to

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:32.740
 you,

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.160
 Asian city,

00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:34.059
 and in a

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:34.379
 lot of

00:26:34.379 --> 00:26:35.539
 Asian

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:36.899
 churches

00:26:36.899 --> 00:26:38.399
 and contexts,

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:39.619
 it's quite

00:26:39.619 --> 00:26:40.359
 hierarchical,

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:40.859
 right?

00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:42.899
 The guy who

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.700
 leads the

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:43.940
 church,

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:44.420
 the guy who

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:44.799
 pastors,

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.440
 the guy who

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:45.879
 stands in

00:26:45.879 --> 00:26:46.519
 front to

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.139
 preach and

00:26:47.139 --> 00:26:47.420
 teach,

00:26:47.779 --> 00:26:48.119
 is often

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.519
 deemed with

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:48.940
 a great

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:49.319
 sense of

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.579
 respect,

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:49.940
 which is

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:50.240
 good and

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:50.519
 healthy,

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.339
 but at

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:51.660
 some point

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:51.980
 often it

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.319
 tip over

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:52.839
 to become

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.680
 unhealthy.

00:26:54.639 --> 00:26:54.799
 Now,

00:26:55.399 --> 00:26:55.879
 Christians

00:26:55.879 --> 00:26:57.519
 believe in

00:26:57.519 --> 00:26:58.279
 the priesthood

00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:58.599
 of all

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:58.940
 believers,

00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:00.139
 because you

00:27:00.139 --> 00:27:00.619
 and I,

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:01.980
 we all have

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.379
 the person

00:27:02.379 --> 00:27:02.639
 of the

00:27:02.639 --> 00:27:02.980
 Holy Spirit

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.559
 dwelling in

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:03.759
 us.

00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:04.899
 So,

00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:06.440
 if we ever

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:07.920
 use language

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.779
 such as,

00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:11.680
 your name is

00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:11.879
 Leo,

00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:12.079
 right?

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:12.839
 John,

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.119
 sorry,

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:13.920
 Leo was another

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:14.480
 guy that I spoke

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.900
 to earlier,

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:15.599
 John,

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:16.380
 so if

00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:20.299
 John come

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.700
 up and

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.700
 he claims

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:23.660
 to be more

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:25.059
 sensitive in

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.299
 the Holy

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:26.519
 Spirit than

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:27.319
 Kevin,

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.400
 we have a

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:28.799
 problem there,

00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:30.620
 in some ways

00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:31.380
 you can

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:31.839
 almost,

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:33.640
 if you look

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.059
 at it in

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:34.360
 the best

00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:34.920
 possible way,

00:27:35.059 --> 00:27:35.420
 you could be

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:35.819
 referring to

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.339
 maturity,

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:36.940
 you could be

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:37.279
 referring to

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.620
 someone who

00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:38.299
 understands and

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:38.599
 who walks

00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:38.860
 with them,

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:39.519
 so there are

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.559
 those categories,

00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:41.859
 but if we

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:43.919
 use the

00:27:43.919 --> 00:27:44.419
 category of

00:27:44.419 --> 00:27:45.139
 Asian religion

00:27:45.139 --> 00:27:46.679
 to talk about

00:27:46.679 --> 00:27:46.960
 the Holy

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.279
 Spirit,

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:48.460
 where one

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:49.700
 person is

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:50.519
 a shifu in

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:50.799
 the Holy

00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:51.139
 Spirit,

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:53.000
 more than

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.299
 the other

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:53.659
 person,

00:27:54.179 --> 00:27:54.819
 and has the

00:27:54.819 --> 00:27:55.960
 power to

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.440
 summon the

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:56.839
 Holy Spirit

00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:57.619
 in a more

00:27:57.619 --> 00:27:58.059
 evident,

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.019
 experiential way

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.980
 than others,

00:28:01.179 --> 00:28:01.599
 friends,

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.539
 Watermark Church,

00:28:02.639 --> 00:28:03.480
 can I gently,

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.799
 lovingly,

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:05.759
 encourage you

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:06.859
 to steer away

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:08.039
 from that,

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.059
 to steer away

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.579
 from that.

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.960
 The great

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.460
 equalizer of

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:14.299
 the cross is

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.879
 that you and

00:28:14.879 --> 00:28:15.559
 I, as

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:15.919
 believers,

00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:16.700
 we all have

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:16.940
 the Holy

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.220
 Spirit.

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.539
 I need you

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:19.519
 to pray for

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:19.700
 me.

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.159
 I need you.

00:28:21.299 --> 00:28:21.819
 I'm standing

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.559
 up here

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.579
 preaching this

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:24.279
 word, I

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:24.599
 believe,

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:25.319
 because of

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:25.819
 the prayers

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:27.079
 of all of

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:27.419
 you guys

00:28:27.419 --> 00:28:27.819
 for this

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:28.099
 retreat,

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:29.000
 and that

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.359
 makes me

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.019
 feel empowered

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:30.819
 to do

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.200
 this work.

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.279
 By my own

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.539
 strength,

00:28:32.619 --> 00:28:33.059
 I am very,

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:33.419
 very weak.

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:34.319
 That's the

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.539
 truth.

00:28:35.379 --> 00:28:36.079
 So this is

00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:36.779
 not an expert

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.299
 of the Holy

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:37.899
 Spirit coming

00:28:37.899 --> 00:28:38.919
 to lead this

00:28:38.919 --> 00:28:39.359
 retreat so

00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:39.839
 that you can

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.039
 learn from

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:40.440
 me.

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.700
 Let's learn

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.019
 from each

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.259
 other.

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:42.859
 Let's point

00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:43.279
 each other

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:44.179
 to who

00:28:44.179 --> 00:28:45.359
 Jesus is.

00:28:46.399 --> 00:28:46.759
 Just one

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:47.059
 more thing

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:48.519
 before I

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:49.079
 close this

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.379
 portion.

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:50.899
 One of the

00:28:50.899 --> 00:28:51.419
 other signs

00:28:51.419 --> 00:28:51.859
 of being

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:53.240
 dwelt by

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:53.579
 the Holy

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:54.740
 Spirit is

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.059
 that your

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.679
 life will

00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:56.000
 start to

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.740
 feel uncomfortable.

00:28:58.059 --> 00:28:58.339
 I don't

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:58.539
 know whether

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.839
 you experience

00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.139
 that.

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:01.460
 It's like,

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:02.639
 have you

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.200
 ever prayed

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.759
 prayers like,

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:04.619
 God, I

00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:05.299
 just want to

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:06.480
 experience you,

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.500
 know you,

00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:08.460
 love you,

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:09.179
 walk according

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:09.480
 to your

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:09.740
 ways,

00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:10.100
 just do

00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:10.560
 whatever you

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:11.519
 want in

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:12.140
 my life.

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:14.120
 Have you

00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:14.380
 prayed that

00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:14.759
 prayer before?

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.039
 And then you

00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:16.340
 start to

00:29:16.340 --> 00:29:17.100
 experience real

00:29:17.100 --> 00:29:19.279
 afflictions and

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:20.759
 sufferings and

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.279
 things don't go

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.880
 your way.

00:29:22.940 --> 00:29:23.320
 And if you

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.660
 look back,

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.120
 hey, I

00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:24.560
 actually prayed

00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:25.120
 that prayer and

00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:25.600
 God is answering

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:26.060
 my prayer,

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.400
 right?

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.680
 I love this

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.200
 quote by C.S.

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:28.340
 Lewis.

00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:28.680
 Let me pray

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.779
 for us and

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:31.400
 then we'll pray

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.860
 for each other

00:29:31.860 --> 00:29:32.299
 in a moment.

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.640
 Imagine yourself

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.160
 as a living

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:34.400
 house.

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:34.720
 This is from

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:34.960
 C.S.

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.160
 Lewis.

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:35.559
 I did not

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:35.900
 come up with

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.019
 that.

00:29:36.579 --> 00:29:37.160
 God comes

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:38.100
 in to rebuild

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:38.460
 the house.

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:38.839
 At first,

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:39.299
 perhaps you

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:39.960
 understand what

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.380
 he's doing.

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.860
 He's getting

00:29:40.860 --> 00:29:41.559
 the drain right

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:42.299
 and stopping

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:42.740
 the leaks

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.380
 in the roof

00:29:43.380 --> 00:29:43.940
 and so on.

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.940
 You knew that

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:45.480
 those jobs

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.880
 needed to be

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:46.839
 done, so you

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.360
 are not surprised.

00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:48.480
 You need a new

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.059
 drain, you need a

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:49.600
 roof to be fixed.

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:50.799
 But presently,

00:29:50.860 --> 00:29:51.680
 he starts knocking

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:52.819
 the house about

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:53.819
 in a way that

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:54.880
 hurts and does

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.620
 not seem to

00:29:55.620 --> 00:29:56.600
 make sense.

00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:57.900
 What on earth

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.579
 is he up to?

00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:00.140
 The explanation

00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:01.339
 is that he is

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:02.339
 building quite a

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:03.319
 different house

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:04.419
 from the one

00:30:04.419 --> 00:30:04.659
 that you

00:30:04.659 --> 00:30:05.139
 thought of.

00:30:05.419 --> 00:30:05.899
 He's throwing

00:30:05.899 --> 00:30:06.279
 out a new

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.720
 wing here,

00:30:06.819 --> 00:30:07.220
 putting on an

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:07.759
 extra floor

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.220
 here, running

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:08.859
 up the towers,

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:09.579
 making courtyard

00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:10.779
 and it hurts.

00:30:11.659 --> 00:30:12.339
 You thought

00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:13.240
 that you were

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.579
 being made

00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:14.319
 into a decent

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:15.599
 little cottage.

00:30:16.419 --> 00:30:16.859
 But friends,

00:30:16.939 --> 00:30:17.500
 he is building

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.220
 a palace.

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:19.740
 He is building

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.200
 a palace.

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:21.079
 He intends

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:22.179
 to come and

00:30:22.179 --> 00:30:22.859
 live in it

00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:23.839
 by himself.

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.240
 So that is

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:26.779
 the implication

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:27.359
 of what it

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:28.279
 means to be

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.659
 filled by the

00:30:28.659 --> 00:30:29.139
 Holy Spirit.

00:30:29.419 --> 00:30:30.379
 God intends

00:30:30.379 --> 00:30:31.939
 to live in

00:30:31.939 --> 00:30:32.439
 you.

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.200
 And it's no

00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:34.939
 minor renovation

00:30:34.939 --> 00:30:36.439
 and it could

00:30:36.439 --> 00:30:37.039
 mean tearing

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.379
 down the

00:30:37.379 --> 00:30:37.899
 entire building

00:30:37.899 --> 00:30:38.599
 and rebuilding

00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:39.679
 it all over

00:30:39.679 --> 00:30:39.980
 again.

00:30:41.139 --> 00:30:41.399
 When the

00:30:41.399 --> 00:30:41.859
 Holy Spirit

00:30:41.859 --> 00:30:43.039
 comes into

00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:43.599
 your life,

00:30:44.419 --> 00:30:45.079
 you are now

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:46.019
 partaker of

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:46.679
 divine nature.

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:47.779
 I'm quoting

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.700
 2 Peter 1

00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:49.119
 verse 4.

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:50.599
 Partaker of

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.279
 divine nature.

00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:53.679
 In some

00:30:53.679 --> 00:30:54.000
 ways, the

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.759
 triune God,

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:55.879
 all three

00:30:55.879 --> 00:30:56.299
 persons of

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:56.559
 the Trinity,

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.099
 is now

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.559
 dwelling in

00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:57.799
 you in

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:58.240
 some ways

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.960
 through the

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.439
 Holy Spirit.

00:31:00.159 --> 00:31:00.480
 Have you

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.259
 been awestruck?

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.740
 Let me pause

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.039
 for a moment.

00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:03.279
 Have you

00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:03.920
 been awestruck

00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:05.299
 by the

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:05.599
 fact that

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:06.759
 God can

00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:07.579
 dwell in

00:31:07.579 --> 00:31:07.799
 you?

00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:09.440
 Have you

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.200
 been awestruck

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:11.200
 by how much

00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:12.119
 it costs

00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:13.819
 Jesus so

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:14.159
 that your

00:31:14.159 --> 00:31:14.759
 sins may be

00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:15.099
 forgiven,

00:31:15.619 --> 00:31:15.839
 that you

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.180
 can be

00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:17.319
 justified in

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:17.740
 order for

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:18.180
 His Spirit

00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:18.759
 to come

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.659
 and dwell

00:31:19.659 --> 00:31:20.500
 in you?

00:31:21.700 --> 00:31:22.240
 Have you

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.680
 come to a

00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:23.299
 place where

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:24.159
 God, this

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:24.639
 is too

00:31:24.639 --> 00:31:25.299
 awesome for

00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:25.599
 words?

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.619
 This is

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:26.940
 beyond

00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:27.539
 comprehension.

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:28.960
 Me, the

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.539
 temple for

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:29.899
 your Holy

00:31:29.899 --> 00:31:30.200
 Spirit.

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:31.200
 God can

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:32.019
 pray.

00:31:32.019 --> 00:31:32.259
 And if

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.620
 you have

00:31:32.620 --> 00:31:33.519
 not, I

00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:34.059
 think some

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.380
 of us,

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:35.640
 maybe you

00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:36.340
 have not

00:31:36.340 --> 00:31:37.279
 yet considered

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.120
 that today

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:38.559
 could be a

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.860
 good day for

00:31:39.860 --> 00:31:40.460
 you to pray

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:41.400
 and ask God

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:42.539
 to help you

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.620
 to understand

00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:43.880
 that.

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:45.280
 when we

00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:45.620
 did a

00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:46.080
 series on

00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:46.340
 the Holy

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:46.620
 Spirit

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:47.420
 about years

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:48.240
 ago, and

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.520
 this is why

00:31:48.520 --> 00:31:48.900
 I'm camping

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:49.320
 quite long

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:49.720
 here on the

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:50.060
 person of

00:31:50.060 --> 00:31:50.240
 the Holy

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:50.680
 Spirit, just

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.560
 to make

00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:52.340
 sure that we

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:52.680
 are clear

00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:53.180
 before we

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.480
 move to

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:53.960
 other things.

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.520
 I did a

00:31:55.520 --> 00:31:56.060
 short survey

00:31:56.060 --> 00:31:57.460
 in a couple

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:57.920
 of CGs

00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:58.200
 that I

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:58.860
 attended, just

00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.300
 to ask

00:31:59.300 --> 00:31:59.740
 folks, hey,

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.580
 after our

00:32:00.580 --> 00:32:01.000
 series on

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:01.220
 the Holy

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:01.580
 Spirit, what's

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.800
 your most

00:32:02.800 --> 00:32:03.340
 significant

00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:03.680
 takeaway?

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:05.160
 And about

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:05.780
 half of

00:32:05.780 --> 00:32:06.500
 them say

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.880
 that the

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.540
 most important

00:32:07.540 --> 00:32:08.220
 takeaway is

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.480
 that they

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.060
 realize that

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.360
 the Spirit

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:09.740
 is a

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.340
 person and

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:10.580
 not a

00:32:10.580 --> 00:32:10.740
 thing.

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.320
 The Spirit

00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:12.740
 is a

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.860
 person and

00:32:13.859 --> 00:32:14.259
 not a

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.779
 thing.

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.679
 I'm

00:32:15.679 --> 00:32:16.240
 talking about

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:17.799
 church-going

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:19.839
 believers who

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.019
 have been

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.399
 coming to

00:32:20.399 --> 00:32:20.779
 church for

00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:21.719
 years, telling

00:32:21.719 --> 00:32:22.019
 me that

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:22.319
 that's the

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:22.619
 biggest

00:32:22.619 --> 00:32:23.459
 takeaway.

00:32:25.439 --> 00:32:26.079
 I think

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:26.639
 one way

00:32:26.639 --> 00:32:27.879
 that we

00:32:27.879 --> 00:32:28.799
 can apply

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.599
 this today

00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:30.639
 is to

00:32:30.639 --> 00:32:30.919
 pray.

00:32:31.419 --> 00:32:32.079
 It's to

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.479
 pray for

00:32:32.479 --> 00:32:32.919
 each other,

00:32:33.699 --> 00:32:34.099
 to be

00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:34.579
 filled by

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:34.839
 the Holy

00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:36.039
 Spirit in

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.299
 the right

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:36.519
 way.

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:37.259
 Not

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:37.819
 referring to

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:39.599
 more of

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:40.639
 Him in

00:32:40.639 --> 00:32:40.879
 terms of

00:32:40.879 --> 00:32:41.379
 reducing Him

00:32:41.379 --> 00:32:41.919
 to units,

00:32:43.159 --> 00:32:43.500
 but the

00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:43.839
 fullness of

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:44.139
 God.

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:45.480
 And when

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:46.119
 God moves

00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.419
 into you,

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.339
 to live

00:32:48.339 --> 00:32:48.980
 in you,

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:49.899
 He's going

00:32:49.899 --> 00:32:50.199
 to make

00:32:50.199 --> 00:32:50.819
 some really

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.240
 significant

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:51.779
 changes.

00:32:52.419 --> 00:32:52.859
 So let's

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.399
 pray for

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:53.779
 each other.

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:55.359
 There are

00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:56.399
 some of

00:32:56.399 --> 00:32:56.939
 us here,

00:32:57.099 --> 00:32:57.339
 so there

00:32:57.339 --> 00:32:57.539
 are two

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.119
 categories of

00:32:58.119 --> 00:32:58.599
 people here.

00:32:59.419 --> 00:32:59.779
 Is it okay

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:00.679
 if we end

00:33:00.679 --> 00:33:01.119
 this time by

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.500
 some prayer

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:01.939
 for each

00:33:01.939 --> 00:33:02.119
 other?

00:33:02.919 --> 00:33:03.179
 I thought

00:33:03.179 --> 00:33:03.319
 it would

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:03.679
 be good

00:33:03.679 --> 00:33:04.799
 for us to

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.099
 look out

00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:05.480
 for two

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:05.899
 groups of

00:33:05.899 --> 00:33:06.379
 people here.

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:08.179
 I'm sure

00:33:08.179 --> 00:33:08.980
 we will

00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:09.419
 fall into

00:33:09.419 --> 00:33:09.939
 either of

00:33:09.939 --> 00:33:10.319
 those categories

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:10.659
 or even

00:33:10.659 --> 00:33:11.279
 both categories.

00:33:11.639 --> 00:33:12.119
 We'll just

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:12.480
 be spending

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:13.019
 time to pray

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.339
 for each

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:13.559
 other.

00:33:14.879 --> 00:33:15.859
 Romans 5,

00:33:15.940 --> 00:33:16.680
 verse 5,

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.759
 talks about

00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.200
 the Holy

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.799
 Spirit being

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.200
 poured,

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:20.519
 sorry,

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.180
 God's love

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:21.700
 being poured

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.160
 into our

00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:22.700
 hearts through

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:22.960
 the Holy

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.259
 Spirit.

00:33:24.099 --> 00:33:24.740
 Some of

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.180
 us here,

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:26.660
 you know

00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:27.420
 the love

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:27.720
 of God

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.259
 intellectually.

00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:30.099
 You really

00:33:30.099 --> 00:33:30.279
 do.

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:32.119
 You really,

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.700
 really study

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:34.119
 your Bible

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.000
 and you

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:36.839
 have attended

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:37.339
 church for a

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:37.819
 long time.

00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:38.480
 Jesus

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.480
 love you.

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.539
 Jesus

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:40.899
 loves me

00:33:40.899 --> 00:33:41.059
 this,

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:41.439
 I know,

00:33:41.659 --> 00:33:41.919
 for the

00:33:41.919 --> 00:33:42.359
 Bible tells

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:42.700
 me so,

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:42.919
 right?

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:44.099
 You believe

00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:44.439
 in that.

00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:45.279
 You have

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:45.500
 sung that

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:46.079
 many times.

00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:47.000
 But you

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:47.879
 know that

00:33:47.879 --> 00:33:48.379
 deep down

00:33:48.379 --> 00:33:49.279
 there are

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:49.500
 many

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:50.059
 insecurities

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:51.000
 in your

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:51.359
 life.

00:33:51.919 --> 00:33:52.099
 And the

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:53.000
 answers to

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.240
 those

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.919
 insecurities

00:33:53.919 --> 00:33:54.559
 and need

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:55.059
 of approval

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:56.220
 from men,

00:33:56.939 --> 00:33:57.339
 the answers

00:33:57.339 --> 00:33:57.839
 to all those

00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:58.460
 things is

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:59.079
 really coming

00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:00.579
 to a deep

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:01.399
 appreciation and

00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:01.960
 conviction that

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.399
 God really

00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:02.859
 loves you.

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:03.599
 And who

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:03.939
 can help

00:34:03.939 --> 00:34:04.240
 you to do

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.399
 that?

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.259
 So one

00:34:05.259 --> 00:34:05.500
 of the

00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:06.100
 spirit's

00:34:06.100 --> 00:34:07.240
 work in

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.740
 the believer's

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:08.320
 life is to

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:08.800
 take whatever

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.460
 that we know

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:09.940
 in our

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.460
 knowledge and

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:11.099
 apply that

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.660
 to our

00:34:11.660 --> 00:34:11.900
 hearts.

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:12.780
 So if we

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:13.160
 can pray for

00:34:13.160 --> 00:34:13.619
 each other on

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.780
 that,

00:34:14.180 --> 00:34:14.980
 things that

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.480
 you already

00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:15.900
 know.

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:16.820
 Most of us

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:17.059
 say we

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.660
 don't need

00:34:17.660 --> 00:34:18.240
 new knowledge.

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:19.460
 We need

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.940
 knowledge

00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:20.300
 applied.

00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:21.860
 Let's ask

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:22.079
 the Holy

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.400
 Spirit to

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:22.720
 help us

00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:23.000
 to do

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.200
 that.

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:24.000
 And then

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.420
 there's also

00:34:24.420 --> 00:34:24.780
 a second

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:25.500
 category of

00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:25.740
 people,

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:26.800
 those who

00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:27.579
 feel stuck

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:28.460
 in sin.

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:29.820
 Those who

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:30.579
 feel stuck

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:32.160
 in cycles

00:34:32.160 --> 00:34:33.260
 of sins

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:34.220
 where

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:35.259
 you know

00:34:35.259 --> 00:34:35.439
 that you

00:34:35.439 --> 00:34:35.519
 are

00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:35.719
 a temple

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:35.919
 of the

00:34:35.919 --> 00:34:36.039
 Holy

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.339
 Spirit,

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.059
 but those

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:38.779
 areas that

00:34:38.779 --> 00:34:39.119
 you are

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.599
 struggling

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:40.919
 with often

00:34:40.919 --> 00:34:41.359
 have been

00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:42.379
 used by

00:34:42.379 --> 00:34:42.759
 the evil

00:34:42.759 --> 00:34:43.459
 one to

00:34:43.459 --> 00:34:43.879
 cast down.

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.500
 You know

00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:45.819
 the evil

00:34:45.819 --> 00:34:46.459
 one often

00:34:46.459 --> 00:34:46.879
 are,

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:48.919
 so let me

00:34:48.919 --> 00:34:49.539
 just use

00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:50.000
 this analogy,

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:51.579
 I don't

00:34:51.579 --> 00:34:53.179
 do boxing,

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.519
 but I heard

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:55.119
 that in boxing

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.899
 there's something

00:34:55.899 --> 00:34:56.599
 called the

00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.480
 two-step

00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:57.879
 punch or

00:34:57.879 --> 00:34:58.259
 something like

00:34:58.259 --> 00:34:58.419
 that,

00:34:59.019 --> 00:34:59.819
 so there's

00:34:59.819 --> 00:35:00.939
 two ways

00:35:00.939 --> 00:35:01.759
 that the

00:35:01.759 --> 00:35:02.259
 devil can

00:35:02.259 --> 00:35:02.739
 actually attack

00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:03.000
 us.

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.239
 One is

00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:04.940
 by telling

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.460
 you that

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:06.260
 your sins

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:06.940
 don't

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:07.159
 matter.

00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:08.780
 Your sins

00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:08.980
 don't

00:35:08.980 --> 00:35:09.179
 matter.

00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:10.119
 Because of

00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:10.500
 what Christ

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:10.739
 has done

00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:11.179
 for you,

00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:11.820
 go ahead

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:13.059
 and sin

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:14.159
 and do

00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:14.559
 whatever you

00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:14.780
 want.

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.099
 Satisfied

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:16.800
 your flesh

00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:17.380
 in the

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:17.739
 moment,

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:18.480
 because your

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.940
 sin isn't

00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:19.300
 really such

00:35:19.300 --> 00:35:19.739
 a big deal.

00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:21.539
 Jesus has

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:21.780
 died for

00:35:21.780 --> 00:35:22.039
 your sins,

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:22.559
 so just

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.920
 go ahead

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:23.280
 and sin.

00:35:23.739 --> 00:35:24.420
 Now once

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:24.780
 you commit

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:25.219
 those sins,

00:35:26.300 --> 00:35:26.739
 you know what

00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:26.980
 he's going

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:27.239
 to do?

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:27.679
 He's going

00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:27.900
 to tell you

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:28.219
 the opposite.

00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:29.820
 Your sin

00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:30.280
 is a

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:30.820
 great deal

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:32.380
 that has

00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:32.960
 disqualified

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.200
 you from

00:35:34.200 --> 00:35:34.980
 being a

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:35.380
 child of

00:35:35.380 --> 00:35:35.580
 God.

00:35:36.640 --> 00:35:37.080
 If that's

00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:37.240
 you,

00:35:37.300 --> 00:35:37.580
 you find

00:35:37.580 --> 00:35:37.920
 yourself

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.580
 falling into

00:35:38.580 --> 00:35:39.600
 that kind

00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:40.100
 of attack,

00:35:40.220 --> 00:35:40.539
 falling into

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:40.820
 that kind

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:41.260
 of cycle

00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:42.920
 where you

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:44.160
 fall into

00:35:44.160 --> 00:35:44.780
 sin and you

00:35:44.780 --> 00:35:45.600
 feel discouraged,

00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:46.700
 disqualified.

00:35:47.500 --> 00:35:47.880
 Can I tell you

00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.300
 there's another

00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:48.760
 role of Holy

00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:50.039
 Spirit in the

00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:50.300
 scripture?

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:51.820
 He applies

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:53.720
 to what

00:35:53.720 --> 00:35:54.380
 many theologians

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:54.680
 call

00:35:54.680 --> 00:35:55.620
 sonship into

00:35:55.620 --> 00:35:56.039
 our hearts.

00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.980
 I was

00:35:57.980 --> 00:35:58.320
 over there

00:35:58.320 --> 00:35:58.619
 just now

00:35:58.619 --> 00:35:58.820
 when we

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.239
 were worshipping

00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:00.199
 with my

00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.539
 two older

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:00.820
 boys.

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:01.099
 They were

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:01.460
 having a

00:36:01.460 --> 00:36:03.679
 fight while

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.019
 the worship

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:04.519
 leaders were

00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:05.199
 leading songs.

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:05.759
 I was

00:36:05.759 --> 00:36:06.019
 feeling a

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:06.179
 little bit

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:06.559
 embarrassed

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:06.800
 here.

00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:07.139
 Look,

00:36:07.219 --> 00:36:07.559
 we are

00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:08.139
 here to

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:08.400
 lead a

00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:08.980
 retreat to

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:09.360
 speak to

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:09.779
 you guys

00:36:09.779 --> 00:36:10.500
 and my

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:10.840
 kids are

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:11.219
 standing in

00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:11.619
 front having

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:12.039
 a fight.

00:36:12.279 --> 00:36:14.239
 I'm trying

00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:14.480
 to keep

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:15.079
 it low-key

00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:15.739
 and I'm

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:15.940
 trying to

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:16.579
 control them.

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:19.380
 There was

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:19.820
 a moment

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:20.119
 that I

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:20.719
 decided to

00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:20.980
 hug the

00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:21.239
 two of

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:21.539
 them and

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:21.980
 they calmed

00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:22.239
 down.

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:23.139
 I was

00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:23.500
 reminding

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:23.699
 them,

00:36:23.779 --> 00:36:24.039
 you know

00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:24.219
 what,

00:36:24.279 --> 00:36:24.759
 I really

00:36:24.759 --> 00:36:25.119
 love you

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:25.440
 guys.

00:36:26.219 --> 00:36:26.380
 Come,

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:26.699
 we can

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:27.179
 do this

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:27.440
 together.

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:27.779
 We can

00:36:27.779 --> 00:36:28.380
 focus on

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:28.639
 God,

00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:29.539
 the one

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:29.880
 who loves

00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:30.079
 us.

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:30.299
 Let's

00:36:30.299 --> 00:36:30.779
 worship him

00:36:30.779 --> 00:36:31.319
 when you

00:36:31.319 --> 00:36:31.739
 come down

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:32.219
 and we

00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:32.679
 will focus

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:33.079
 on God.

00:36:33.759 --> 00:36:34.059
 I think

00:36:34.059 --> 00:36:35.079
 often the

00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:35.519
 love of

00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:36.139
 God calms

00:36:36.139 --> 00:36:36.619
 our soul.

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:37.519
 So let's

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:38.500
 pray for

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:38.960
 each other

00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:39.319
 that we

00:36:39.319 --> 00:36:39.839
 remember

00:36:39.839 --> 00:36:40.460
 this

00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:40.880
 sonship

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:41.059
 that's

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:41.359
 been given

00:36:41.359 --> 00:36:41.779
 to us.

00:36:41.859 --> 00:36:42.199
 It cannot

00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:42.619
 be taken

00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:43.779
 away from

00:36:43.779 --> 00:36:44.099
 anything

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:45.619
 that we've

00:36:45.619 --> 00:36:45.759
 done.

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.039
 That

00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:13.179
 can

00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:13.679
 be

00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.339
 heard.

00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:44.320
 Thank you.
