00:00:57.651 --> 00:01:01.088
[amen.] when you read the bible,
00:01:01.155 --> 00:01:02.456
When you read the bible, luke 11:13, it says,
00:01:02.523 --> 00:01:05.926
Luke 11:13, it says, "if you, being evil,
00:01:05.993 --> 00:01:06.961

Give the holy spirit to those who ask him?"
00:01:17.938 --> 00:01:19.273
Who ask him?" in acts 1, it says,

And then in verse 8, it says, "and you shall receive power."
00:01:25.312 --> 00:01:28.182
"and you shall receive power." not only is the holy spirit
00:01:28.249 --> 00:01:29.216
Not only is the holy spirit a gift,
00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:29.850
A gift, but the holy spirit is
00:01:29.917 --> 00:01:30.684

And the holy spirit is the power of god in your life.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.456
The power of god in your life. [amen.]
00:01:35.523 --> 00:01:36.090

People say, "well, what does the holy spirit
00:01:36.857 --> 00:01:37.491

00:02:03.417 --> 00:02:05.653
To accomplish his purpose. john 14:26,
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.188
John 14:26, he calls him, "the helper."
00:02:07.254 --> 00:02:10.524
He calls him, "the helper." how many of you would agree
00:02:10.591 --> 00:02:12.359

That you could ever have. [amen.]

[amen.] and it's not a watered-down
00:02:22.136 --> 00:02:24.138

Seated at the right hand of god the father,

The son, and he's saying,
00:03:55.763 --> 00:03:56.263
And he's saying, "this is what matthew needs

Right now. he doesn't know how to say it.
00:03:58.499 --> 00:03:59.733
He doesn't know how to say it. he's just down there groaning
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.602
He's just down there groaning and crying and weeping.
00:04:01.669 --> 00:04:03.337

And if you can bring it to him,
00:04:09.376 --> 00:04:09.943
To him, i'll make sure that he knows

I'll make sure that he knows where the glory goes!"
00:04:11.345 --> 00:04:13.614
Where the glory goes!" (applause)
00:04:13.681 --> 00:04:18.919
(applause) the holy spirit
00:04:18.986 --> 00:04:19.753

Not only does he help you to testify and help you
00:04:22.856 --> 00:04:24.725
To testify and help you in understanding what god's
00:04:24.792 --> 00:04:26.093
In understanding what god's doing in your life,
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.061
Doing in your life, but he helps you stand in
00:04:27.127 --> 00:04:29.196
But he helps you stand in the victory that christ has
00:04:29.263 --> 00:04:30.798
The victory that christ has given you.
00:04:30.864 --> 00:04:32.333
Given you. you, as a child of god,
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.068
You, as a child of god, are fighting the good fight.
00:04:34.134 --> 00:04:37.171
Are fighting the good fight. this is what paul said,
00:04:37.237 --> 00:04:38.205
This is what paul said, "fight the good fight
00:04:38.272 --> 00:04:39.707
"fight the good fight of faith."
00:04:39.773 --> 00:04:41.008
Of faith." over and over we read these
00:04:41.075 --> 00:04:42.676
Over and over we read these military analogies about
00:04:42.743 --> 00:04:44.044
Military analogies about the conflict that we have
00:04:44.111 --> 00:04:46.246
The conflict that we have with the kingdom of darkness.
00:04:46.313 --> 00:04:48.148
With the kingdom of darkness. but the thing about the fight
00:04:48.215 --> 00:04:49.483
But the thing about the fight that we have is we are not
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:51.485
That we have is we are not fighting for victory;
00:04:51.552 --> 00:04:53.487
Fighting for victory; we are fighting in victory.
00:04:53.554 --> 00:04:55.923
We are fighting in victory. [amen.]
00:04:55.989 --> 00:04:56.957
[amen.] [amen.]
00:04:57.024 --> 00:04:57.558
[amen.] we're not trying to take
00:04:57.624 --> 00:04:58.959
We're not trying to take ground.
00:04:59.026 --> 00:04:59.593
Ground. christ has already conquered
00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:01.095
Christ has already conquered the ground and told us,
00:05:01.161 --> 00:05:02.429
The ground and told us, "just stand."
00:05:02.496 --> 00:05:04.098
"just stand." [glory to god!]
00:05:04.164 --> 00:05:04.998
[glory to god!] "just stand in victory
00:05:05.065 --> 00:05:06.800
"just stand in victory until i come back."
00:05:06.867 --> 00:05:08.502
Until i come back." [amen.]
00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:09.203
[amen.] now i'll connect this for you
00:05:09.269 --> 00:05:10.170
Now i'll connect this for you with several pieces
00:05:10.237 --> 00:05:10.938
With several pieces of scripture,
00:05:11.004 --> 00:05:11.538
Of scripture, so you understand how complete
00:05:11.605 --> 00:05:13.006
So you understand how complete and how total this victory is.
00:05:13.073 --> 00:05:15.609
And how total this victory is. let's begin in the gospel
00:05:15.676 --> 00:05:16.810
Let's begin in the gospel of matthew.
00:05:16.877 --> 00:05:18.212
Of matthew. jesus asks his disciples,
00:05:18.278 --> 00:05:20.147
Jesus asks his disciples, "who do you say that i am?"
00:05:20.214 --> 00:05:21.849
"who do you say that i am?" peter responds,
00:05:21.915 --> 00:05:22.783
Peter responds, "thou art the christ,
00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:23.851
"thou art the christ, the son of the living god."
00:05:23.917 --> 00:05:26.487
The son of the living god." jesus tells him,
00:05:26.553 --> 00:05:27.488
Jesus tells him, "you're not speaking out of
00:05:27.554 --> 00:05:28.689
"you're not speaking out of your flesh.
00:05:28.756 --> 00:05:29.289
Your flesh. you're speaking out of what
00:05:29.356 --> 00:05:30.324
You're speaking out of what heaven has showed you."
00:05:30.391 --> 00:05:32.359
Heaven has showed you." and then he says,
00:05:32.426 --> 00:05:33.293
And then he says, "upon this rock."
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.596
"upon this rock." now which rock is he
00:05:35.662 --> 00:05:36.864
Now which rock is he speaking of?
00:05:36.930 --> 00:05:37.731
Speaking of? he's speaking of
00:05:37.798 --> 00:05:38.499
He's speaking of the profession of faith
00:05:38.565 --> 00:05:40.167
The profession of faith that peter had.
00:05:40.234 --> 00:05:41.969
That peter had. he's not saying peter is
00:05:42.035 --> 00:05:43.370
He's not saying peter is the rock.
00:05:43.437 --> 00:05:44.071
The rock. [right.]
00:05:44.138 --> 00:05:44.671
[right.] he's saying the profession of
00:05:44.738 --> 00:05:45.873
He's saying the profession of faith that jesus christ
00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:47.608
Faith that jesus christ is the son of god,
00:05:47.674 --> 00:05:48.909
Is the son of god, that is the rock.
00:05:48.976 --> 00:05:51.011
That is the rock. any church that has
00:05:51.078 --> 00:05:52.279
Any church that has that profession is a part of
00:05:52.346 --> 00:05:53.680
That profession is a part of the foundation.
00:05:53.747 --> 00:05:56.283
The foundation. he said,
00:05:56.350 --> 00:05:56.617
He said, "upon this rock will i build
00:05:56.683 --> 00:05:57.951
"upon this rock will i build my church."
00:05:58.018 --> 00:05:58.852
My church." and then he makes this
00:05:58.919 --> 00:05:59.920
And then he makes this promise:
00:05:59.987 --> 00:06:00.554
Promise: "and the gates of hell
00:06:00.621 --> 00:06:02.890
"and the gates of hell will not prevail against it."
00:06:02.956 --> 00:06:05.626
Will not prevail against it." [amen.]
00:06:05.692 --> 00:06:06.593
[amen.] now "gates" speaks of
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.728
Now "gates" speaks of a kingdom.
00:06:07.795 --> 00:06:08.462
A kingdom. and "gates" speaks of
00:06:08.529 --> 00:06:09.930
And "gates" speaks of authority.
00:06:09.997 --> 00:06:10.664
Authority. but the fact that jesus christ
00:06:10.731 --> 00:06:12.199
But the fact that jesus christ made it clear that those gates
00:06:12.266 --> 00:06:14.234
Made it clear that those gates would not prevail against
00:06:14.301 --> 00:06:15.302
Would not prevail against his kingdom means that he had
00:06:15.369 --> 00:06:17.471
His kingdom means that he had total victory.
00:06:17.538 --> 00:06:18.605
Total victory. [yes.]
00:06:18.672 --> 00:06:19.373
[yes.] [right.]
00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:19.940
[right.] and then he says to those who
00:06:20.007 --> 00:06:20.974
And then he says to those who have this profession of faith,
00:06:21.041 --> 00:06:22.709
Have this profession of faith, "what you bind,
00:06:22.776 --> 00:06:23.977
"what you bind, i'll bind.
00:06:24.044 --> 00:06:24.912
I'll bind. what you loose,
00:06:24.978 --> 00:06:26.046
What you loose, i'll loose."
00:06:26.113 --> 00:06:27.181
I'll loose." if it wasn't good enough,
00:06:27.247 --> 00:06:28.315
If it wasn't good enough, he said,
00:06:28.382 --> 00:06:28.749
He said, "and i'm going to give you
00:06:28.816 --> 00:06:30.050
"and i'm going to give you the keys."
00:06:30.117 --> 00:06:30.784
The keys." [amen.]
00:06:30.851 --> 00:06:31.819
[amen.] [amen.]
00:06:31.885 --> 00:06:32.653
[amen.] (applause)
00:06:32.719 --> 00:06:36.657
(applause) so when he says he gave you
00:06:36.723 --> 00:06:38.725
So when he says he gave you the keys,
00:06:38.792 --> 00:06:42.129
The keys, he gave you the authority
00:06:42.196 --> 00:06:43.430
He gave you the authority that he left with.
00:06:43.497 --> 00:06:45.499
That he left with. [good thinking.]
00:06:45.566 --> 00:06:46.533
[good thinking.] and what he wants you to do
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.434
And what he wants you to do is just stand in it.
00:06:47.501 --> 00:06:49.736
Is just stand in it. [yes.]
00:06:49.803 --> 00:06:50.838
[yes.] the problem is,
00:06:50.904 --> 00:06:51.538
The problem is, is that a lot of people who go
00:06:51.605 --> 00:06:52.873
Is that a lot of people who go to church today act like
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:54.675
To church today act like born again teenagers.
00:06:54.741 --> 00:06:56.777
Born again teenagers. (laughter)
00:06:56.844 --> 00:07:00.280
(laughter) you want the benefit of being
00:07:00.347 --> 00:07:01.949
You want the benefit of being in the father's house.
00:07:02.015 --> 00:07:04.985
In the father's house. you want his provision.
00:07:05.052 --> 00:07:06.153
You want his provision. you want his protection.
00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:07.588
You want his protection. you want all that he has
00:07:07.654 --> 00:07:09.289
You want all that he has to offer.
00:07:09.356 --> 00:07:09.923
To offer. but you don't want to do what
00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:10.824
But you don't want to do what he asks you to do.
00:07:10.891 --> 00:07:12.359
He asks you to do. [that's right.]
00:07:12.426 --> 00:07:13.227
[that's right.] (applause)
00:07:13.293 --> 00:07:21.034
(applause) this is why the church is
00:07:21.101 --> 00:07:22.002
This is why the church is losing ground instead
00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:23.103
Losing ground instead of taking ground.
00:07:23.170 --> 00:07:25.472
Of taking ground. ephesians 6, it says,
00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:26.907
Ephesians 6, it says, "be strong in the lord and
00:07:26.974 --> 00:07:28.742
"be strong in the lord and in the power of his might."
00:07:28.809 --> 00:07:32.446
In the power of his might." in the power of whose might?
00:07:32.513 --> 00:07:34.248
In the power of whose might? his might.
00:07:34.314 --> 00:07:36.083
His might. he says,
00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:36.483
He says, "take a stand against
00:07:36.550 --> 00:07:39.953
"take a stand against the devil."
00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:42.055
The devil." and then in verse 13
00:07:42.122 --> 00:07:43.490
And then in verse 13 of the same chapter,
00:07:43.557 --> 00:07:44.324
Of the same chapter, he says,
00:07:44.391 --> 00:07:44.958
He says, "and having done all,
00:07:45.025 --> 00:07:46.226
"and having done all, to stand,
00:07:46.293 --> 00:07:46.793
To stand, put on the whole armor of god,
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:48.328
Put on the whole armor of god, that you may be able
00:07:48.395 --> 00:07:49.162
That you may be able to stand."
00:07:49.229 --> 00:07:49.897
To stand." where do you see in this
00:07:49.963 --> 00:07:51.598
Where do you see in this passage anything other than
00:07:51.665 --> 00:07:53.200
Passage anything other than the statement and the command
00:07:53.267 --> 00:07:55.068
The statement and the command to stand?
00:07:55.135 --> 00:07:57.304
To stand? don't retreat.
00:07:57.371 --> 00:07:59.206
Don't retreat. don't forfeit the ground.
00:07:59.273 --> 00:08:01.408
Don't forfeit the ground. i have already given you
00:08:01.475 --> 00:08:03.143
I have already given you the victory.
00:08:03.210 --> 00:08:03.911
The victory. you have the keys
00:08:03.977 --> 00:08:05.212
You have the keys and the authority of
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.346
And the authority of the victory.
00:08:06.413 --> 00:08:07.180
The victory. tell hell to back off;
00:08:07.247 --> 00:08:09.516
Tell hell to back off; that belongs to the kingdom
00:08:09.583 --> 00:08:11.051
That belongs to the kingdom of god.
00:08:11.118 --> 00:08:12.486
Of god. (applause)
00:08:12.553 --> 00:08:18.392
(applause) so why is it,
00:08:18.458 --> 00:08:20.160
So why is it, if we have this triumph,
00:08:20.227 --> 00:08:21.595
If we have this triumph, if we have this victory,
00:08:21.662 --> 00:08:22.696
If we have this victory, if we have this authority,
00:08:22.763 --> 00:08:23.864
If we have this authority, so many of god's kids struggle
00:08:23.931 --> 00:08:28.936
So many of god's kids struggle in taking that stand?
00:08:29.002 --> 00:08:31.772
In taking that stand? it's because we don't
00:08:31.838 --> 00:08:32.439
It's because we don't understand the power
00:08:32.506 --> 00:08:34.308
Understand the power and the purpose of the baptism
00:08:34.374 --> 00:08:36.743
And the purpose of the baptism of the holy spirit.
00:08:36.810 --> 00:08:37.678
Of the holy spirit. [woo.]
00:08:37.744 --> 00:08:38.145
[woo.] look at the disciples.
00:08:38.211 --> 00:08:40.414
Look at the disciples. they had lots of information.
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.916
They had lots of information. [that's right.]
00:08:42.983 --> 00:08:43.684
[that's right.] three years with jesus,
00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:45.085
Three years with jesus, trust me,
00:08:45.152 --> 00:08:45.485
Trust me, they heard some good
00:08:45.552 --> 00:08:46.119
They heard some good preaching.
00:08:46.186 --> 00:08:47.020
Preaching. but for all of the information
00:08:47.087 --> 00:08:48.388
But for all of the information that they had,
00:08:48.455 --> 00:08:48.989
That they had, they had no power to
00:08:49.056 --> 00:08:49.923
They had no power to impart it,
00:08:49.990 --> 00:08:50.457
Impart it, because the holy spirit
00:08:50.524 --> 00:08:51.224
Because the holy spirit wasn't there.
00:08:51.291 --> 00:08:52.526
Wasn't there. [amen.]
00:08:52.593 --> 00:08:53.327
[amen.] it wasn't until they received
00:08:53.393 --> 00:08:54.728
It wasn't until they received this power that they had
00:08:54.795 --> 00:08:55.929
This power that they had the ability to impart what
00:08:55.996 --> 00:08:58.131
The ability to impart what they knew.
00:08:58.198 --> 00:08:58.732
They knew. and by imparting what
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.167
And by imparting what they knew,
00:09:00.233 --> 00:09:00.834
They knew, they began to change thousands
00:09:00.901 --> 00:09:02.469
They began to change thousands of lives.
00:09:02.536 --> 00:09:04.805
Of lives. follow the path.
00:09:04.871 --> 00:09:05.639
Follow the path. jesus in acts 1 says,
00:09:05.706 --> 00:09:07.574
Jesus in acts 1 says, "you will receive power
00:09:07.641 --> 00:09:08.842
"you will receive power when the holy spirit comes
00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:09.843
When the holy spirit comes upon you,
00:09:09.910 --> 00:09:10.410
Upon you, and you'll be witnesses
00:09:10.477 --> 00:09:11.144
And you'll be witnesses unto me."
00:09:11.211 --> 00:09:11.912
Unto me." acts 2,
00:09:11.979 --> 00:09:13.447
Acts 2, it says that the day of
00:09:13.513 --> 00:09:14.348
It says that the day of pentecost had fully come.
00:09:14.414 --> 00:09:16.984
Pentecost had fully come. and then they went out into
00:09:17.050 --> 00:09:18.185
And then they went out into the streets of jerusalem.
00:09:18.251 --> 00:09:19.419
The streets of jerusalem. and when they went out into
00:09:19.486 --> 00:09:20.320
And when they went out into the streets of jerusalem,
00:09:20.387 --> 00:09:21.254
The streets of jerusalem, they began to testify
00:09:21.321 --> 00:09:22.789
They began to testify of jesus christ.
00:09:22.856 --> 00:09:23.690
Of jesus christ. what does the holy spirit do?
00:09:23.757 --> 00:09:24.891
What does the holy spirit do? it speak of jesus.
00:09:24.958 --> 00:09:26.793
It speak of jesus. it gave them the ability to do
00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:28.829
It gave them the ability to do what they could not do
00:09:28.895 --> 00:09:29.696
What they could not do on their own.
00:09:29.763 --> 00:09:30.530
On their own. they spoke in unknown
00:09:30.597 --> 00:09:32.099
They spoke in unknown languages.
00:09:32.165 --> 00:09:32.766
Languages. that wasn't a holy spirit
00:09:32.833 --> 00:09:34.301
That wasn't a holy spirit tongue that they were
00:09:34.368 --> 00:09:35.335
Tongue that they were speaking in.
00:09:35.402 --> 00:09:36.169
Speaking in. they were speaking in
00:09:36.236 --> 00:09:37.170
They were speaking in the known languages
00:09:37.237 --> 00:09:38.639
The known languages of the entire world.
00:09:38.705 --> 00:09:41.775
Of the entire world. in jerusalem,
00:09:41.842 --> 00:09:42.576
In jerusalem, at the time,
00:09:42.643 --> 00:09:43.343
At the time, there was a feast.
00:09:43.410 --> 00:09:44.344
There was a feast. and at that feast were people
00:09:44.411 --> 00:09:45.979
And at that feast were people from all sorts of different
00:09:46.046 --> 00:09:47.681
From all sorts of different nations.
00:09:47.748 --> 00:09:48.415
Nations. there were romans who spoke
00:09:48.482 --> 00:09:49.616
There were romans who spoke latin.
00:09:49.683 --> 00:09:50.150
Latin. there were hellenists
00:09:50.217 --> 00:09:51.485
There were hellenists who spoke greek.
00:09:51.551 --> 00:09:52.586
Who spoke greek. there were people from asia
00:09:52.653 --> 00:09:53.820
There were people from asia and turkey and all parts of
00:09:53.887 --> 00:09:55.622
And turkey and all parts of the earth who had traveled
00:09:55.689 --> 00:09:56.690
The earth who had traveled to jerusalem.
00:09:56.757 --> 00:09:57.624
To jerusalem. and here a group of galilean
00:09:57.691 --> 00:10:00.327
And here a group of galilean fishermen,
00:10:00.394 --> 00:10:02.229
Fishermen, to put it in modern context,
00:10:02.295 --> 00:10:04.031
To put it in modern context, it would be like saying,
00:10:04.097 --> 00:10:05.065
It would be like saying, "here into the davos world
00:10:05.132 --> 00:10:09.436
"here into the davos world forum of economic
00:10:09.503 --> 00:10:10.437
Forum of economic understanding where all of
00:10:10.504 --> 00:10:12.639
Understanding where all of those geniuses go to tell us
00:10:12.706 --> 00:10:14.574
Those geniuses go to tell us how we should live our lives
00:10:14.641 --> 00:10:15.842
How we should live our lives to serve them better."
00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:17.878
To serve them better." you know which one i'm talking
00:10:17.944 --> 00:10:18.478
You know which one i'm talking about?
00:10:18.545 --> 00:10:19.212
About? (laughter)
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.247
(laughter) if you want to know who were
00:10:20.313 --> 00:10:21.348
If you want to know who were the least expected people to
00:10:21.415 --> 00:10:23.016
The least expected people to know how to speak in this many
00:10:23.083 --> 00:10:24.451
Know how to speak in this many languages,
00:10:24.518 --> 00:10:25.185
Languages, you would have picked galilean
00:10:25.252 --> 00:10:26.953
You would have picked galilean fishermen.
00:10:27.020 --> 00:10:28.321
Fishermen. whatever language you were
00:10:28.388 --> 00:10:29.556
Whatever language you were leading to hear,
00:10:29.623 --> 00:10:30.390
Leading to hear, that's the language you heard
00:10:30.457 --> 00:10:31.525
That's the language you heard it in.
00:10:31.591 --> 00:10:32.125
It in. and all of them heard
00:10:32.192 --> 00:10:32.959
And all of them heard the same thing.
00:10:33.026 --> 00:10:33.727
The same thing. "jesus christ is the son
00:10:33.794 --> 00:10:34.995
"jesus christ is the son of god.
00:10:35.062 --> 00:10:35.495
Of god. he gave his life.
00:10:35.562 --> 00:10:36.530
He gave his life. he rose from the dead.
00:10:36.596 --> 00:10:37.698
He rose from the dead. he's risen and he's seated at
00:10:37.764 --> 00:10:39.066
He's risen and he's seated at the right hand of god
00:10:39.132 --> 00:10:39.900
The right hand of god the father."
00:10:39.966 --> 00:10:40.400
The father." "repent and be baptized."
00:10:40.467 --> 00:10:42.636
"repent and be baptized." at the end of that service,
00:10:42.703 --> 00:10:43.837
At the end of that service, 3,000 people got saved.
00:10:43.904 --> 00:10:46.873
3,000 people got saved. do you know why?
00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:47.774
Do you know why? not because they understood
00:10:47.841 --> 00:10:49.176
Not because they understood it,
00:10:49.242 --> 00:10:51.144
It, but because it was imparted
00:10:51.211 --> 00:10:52.312
But because it was imparted to them.
00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.080
To them. [yes.]
00:10:53.146 --> 00:10:54.047
[yes.] and the power of
00:10:54.114 --> 00:10:54.581
And the power of the holy spirit is
00:10:54.648 --> 00:10:55.382
The holy spirit is a contagious thing.
00:10:55.449 --> 00:10:57.818
A contagious thing. it is unavoidably contagious.
00:10:57.884 --> 00:11:01.521
It is unavoidably contagious. it's like the flu.
00:11:01.588 --> 00:11:03.423
It's like the flu. (laughter)
00:11:03.490 --> 00:11:04.257
(laughter) whether you want it or not,
00:11:04.324 --> 00:11:05.258
Whether you want it or not, you're going to get it.
00:11:05.325 --> 00:11:06.793
You're going to get it. (laughter)i grew up surrounded y
00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:10.197
Chaos, addiction.
00:11:11.598 --> 00:11:14.067
By 16, i was lost, spiraling.
00:11:14.067 --> 00:11:17.070
And then i found out
00:11:17.504 --> 00:11:19.106
I was pregnant.
00:11:19.106 --> 00:11:20.607
I searched online for help.
00:11:20.607 --> 00:11:22.609
And that's
00:11:22.609 --> 00:11:23.009
When i found
00:11:23.009 --> 00:11:23.510
The sanctuary of hope.
00:11:23.510 --> 00:11:24.978
The moment i arrived,
00:11:24.978 --> 00:11:26.680
I felt peace.
00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:28.348
Real peace.
00:11:28.348 --> 00:11:29.750
For the first time in my life.
00:11:29.750 --> 00:11:32.085

And my baby's life changed.

Screen or go to jhm.org/hope
00:12:03.850 --> 00:12:06.987
I have to take off my coat
00:12:09.823 --> 00:12:11.691
I have to take off my coat and go to work here.
00:12:11.758 --> 00:12:14.161
And go to work here. thank you, sir.
00:12:14.227 --> 00:12:17.998
Thank you, sir. i appreciate that.
00:12:18.064 --> 00:12:19.032
I appreciate that. dad was up and ready.
00:12:19.099 --> 00:12:20.300
Dad was up and ready. (laughter)
00:12:20.367 --> 00:12:22.435
(laughter) i spent nine years
00:12:22.502 --> 00:12:23.603
I spent nine years in children's ministry,
00:12:23.670 --> 00:12:24.771
In children's ministry, so object lessons are always
00:12:24.838 --> 00:12:27.607
So object lessons are always kind of part of the deal.
00:12:27.674 --> 00:12:31.411
Kind of part of the deal. jesus said you would be
00:12:31.478 --> 00:12:32.279
Jesus said you would be baptized in the holy spirit.
00:12:32.345 --> 00:12:36.550
Baptized in the holy spirit. now, we don't understand
00:12:36.616 --> 00:12:37.851
Now, we don't understand baptism in the context
00:12:37.918 --> 00:12:40.086
Baptism in the context that jesus shared it.
00:12:40.153 --> 00:12:41.388
That jesus shared it. why?
00:12:41.454 --> 00:12:43.056
Why? because our definition of
00:12:43.123 --> 00:12:44.224
Because our definition of baptism is just a temporary
00:12:44.291 --> 00:12:45.959
Baptism is just a temporary immersion.
00:12:46.026 --> 00:12:47.594
Immersion. and there's good reason for
00:12:47.661 --> 00:12:48.562
And there's good reason for that.
00:12:48.628 --> 00:12:48.962
That. because if you leave somebody
00:12:49.029 --> 00:12:49.996
Because if you leave somebody under water for more than
00:12:50.063 --> 00:12:51.031
Under water for more than three minutes,
00:12:51.097 --> 00:12:51.798
Three minutes, they start to turn
00:12:51.865 --> 00:12:52.432
They start to turn a little pale.
00:12:52.499 --> 00:12:54.000
A little pale. (laughter)
00:12:54.067 --> 00:12:54.868
(laughter) but the word "baptism"
00:12:54.935 --> 00:12:55.802
But the word "baptism" in the 1st century had a very
00:12:55.869 --> 00:12:58.638
In the 1st century had a very different context.
00:12:58.705 --> 00:12:59.773
Different context. and the context wasn't about
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:01.041
And the context wasn't about something that you did
00:13:01.107 --> 00:13:01.908
Something that you did for spiritual purposes.
00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:03.410
For spiritual purposes. it was something you did
00:13:03.476 --> 00:13:04.344
It was something you did for fashion reasons.
00:13:04.411 --> 00:13:06.546
For fashion reasons. all material at one point
00:13:06.613 --> 00:13:08.782
All material at one point in time is just white.
00:13:08.849 --> 00:13:11.117
In time is just white. there's cotton.
00:13:11.184 --> 00:13:12.152
There's cotton. there's wool, linen.
00:13:12.219 --> 00:13:14.788
There's wool, linen. and if the material was going
00:13:14.855 --> 00:13:16.489
And if the material was going to take on a color different
00:13:16.556 --> 00:13:18.992
To take on a color different than the natural shade that
00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:20.427
Than the natural shade that it came in,
00:13:20.493 --> 00:13:21.561
It came in, it had to be baptized in
00:13:21.628 --> 00:13:24.865
It had to be baptized in the dye that it was supposed
00:13:24.931 --> 00:13:26.666
The dye that it was supposed to take on.
00:13:26.733 --> 00:13:28.535
To take on. so if you had a crimson robe
00:13:28.602 --> 00:13:31.071
So if you had a crimson robe like christ did that was
00:13:31.137 --> 00:13:32.339
Like christ did that was considered very costly,
00:13:32.405 --> 00:13:33.907
Considered very costly, very expensive,
00:13:33.974 --> 00:13:35.141
Very expensive, it had been baptized.
00:13:35.208 --> 00:13:37.110
It had been baptized. the greek word is
00:13:37.177 --> 00:13:38.111
The greek word is "baptizo,"
00:13:38.178 --> 00:13:40.413
"baptizo," which means that the white
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.115
Which means that the white linen, the white cotton,
00:13:42.182 --> 00:13:43.583
Linen, the white cotton, the white wool went into the
00:13:43.650 --> 00:13:45.886
The white wool went into the dye and it stayed in the dye
00:13:45.952 --> 00:13:50.457
Dye and it stayed in the dye until it looked like the dye.
00:13:50.523 --> 00:13:53.860
Until it looked like the dye. what jesus was saying to the
00:13:53.927 --> 00:13:55.095
What jesus was saying to the disciples about this baptism
00:13:55.161 --> 00:13:56.496
Disciples about this baptism of the holy spirit is that you
00:13:56.563 --> 00:13:58.598
Of the holy spirit is that you are going to be immersed
00:13:58.665 --> 00:14:01.234
Are going to be immersed in the power and the presence
00:14:01.301 --> 00:14:02.469
In the power and the presence of god.
00:14:02.535 --> 00:14:03.870
Of god. and it's going to stay on you,
00:14:03.937 --> 00:14:06.239
And it's going to stay on you, in you,
00:14:06.306 --> 00:14:06.840
In you, and around you until you
00:14:06.907 --> 00:14:09.075
And around you until you no longer act like you,
00:14:09.142 --> 00:14:10.644
No longer act like you, you no longer talk like you,
00:14:10.710 --> 00:14:12.345
You no longer talk like you, you no longer think like you,
00:14:12.412 --> 00:14:13.980
You no longer think like you, you start to act like,
00:14:14.047 --> 00:14:15.115
You start to act like, talk like,
00:14:15.181 --> 00:14:15.715
Talk like, look like and think like
00:14:15.782 --> 00:14:17.117
Look like and think like the spirit of god.
00:14:17.183 --> 00:14:19.319
The spirit of god. this is what the bible said
00:14:19.386 --> 00:14:20.287
This is what the bible said when it said,
00:14:20.353 --> 00:14:20.754
When it said, "put on the mind of christ."
00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:22.789
"put on the mind of christ." it was saying,
00:14:22.856 --> 00:14:23.556
It was saying, you're going to be immersed in
00:14:23.623 --> 00:14:25.025
You're going to be immersed in the holy spirit until you walk
00:14:25.091 --> 00:14:26.993
The holy spirit until you walk away from everything you used
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:28.528
Away from everything you used to be and you become this
00:14:28.595 --> 00:14:30.096
To be and you become this new creature in christ jesus.
00:14:30.163 --> 00:14:33.166
New creature in christ jesus. now the problem with that is
00:14:33.233 --> 00:14:34.668
Now the problem with that is that most of us don't want to
00:14:34.734 --> 00:14:36.469
That most of us don't want to immerse our lives in the power
00:14:36.536 --> 00:14:38.338
Immerse our lives in the power of the holy spirit.
00:14:38.405 --> 00:14:39.272
Of the holy spirit. most of us want to come
00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:40.240
Most of us want to come to church,
00:14:40.307 --> 00:14:41.107
To church, and this 90-minute service
00:14:41.174 --> 00:14:42.976
And this 90-minute service right here is the only time
00:14:43.043 --> 00:14:45.111
Right here is the only time we're going to spend any time
00:14:45.178 --> 00:14:46.947
We're going to spend any time talking about,
00:14:47.013 --> 00:14:47.681
Talking about, thinking about,
00:14:47.747 --> 00:14:48.481
Thinking about, meditating on god's word and
00:14:48.548 --> 00:14:49.883
Meditating on god's word and having a spiritual experience.
00:14:49.950 --> 00:14:52.218
Having a spiritual experience. as a matter of fact,
00:14:52.285 --> 00:14:53.086
As a matter of fact, if this thing goes 95 minutes,
00:14:53.153 --> 00:14:55.188
If this thing goes 95 minutes, you will feel persecuted.
00:14:55.255 --> 00:14:57.390
You will feel persecuted. (laughter)
00:14:57.457 --> 00:15:00.093
(laughter) and the rest of the week,
00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.529
And the rest of the week, you won't think about
00:15:02.595 --> 00:15:03.229
You won't think about the word.
00:15:03.296 --> 00:15:04.631
The word. you won't read it.
00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:05.966
You won't read it. you won't pray.
00:15:06.032 --> 00:15:07.734
You won't pray. you won't do what those
00:15:07.801 --> 00:15:09.302
You won't do what those who are immersed in
00:15:09.369 --> 00:15:10.203
Who are immersed in the holy spirit do.
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:12.072
The holy spirit do. you'll come to church.

(laughter) you do all you can to dust
00:16:17.937 --> 00:16:21.241
You do all you can to dust yourself off,

A new song. and you don't know that song.

(laughter) and the problem is,
00:16:39.092 --> 00:16:39.793
And the problem is, is you're trying to operate
00:16:39.859 --> 00:16:40.827
Is you're trying to operate in the world system and walk
00:16:40.894 --> 00:16:43.129
In the world system and walk in god's power.
00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:45.398
In god's power. that's not how this works.
00:16:45.465 --> 00:16:46.866
That's not how this works. [that's right.]
00:16:46.933 --> 00:16:48.601
[that's right.] when you come to christ and
00:16:48.668 --> 00:16:49.803
When you come to christ and you are baptized in his spirit
00:16:49.869 --> 00:16:52.072
You are baptized in his spirit and baptized in his power,
00:16:52.138 --> 00:16:53.506
And baptized in his power, you stay immersed in it
00:16:53.573 --> 00:16:57.944
You stay immersed in it until over the process of time
00:16:58.011 --> 00:17:00.713
Until over the process of time they don't know where he
00:17:00.780 --> 00:17:02.348
They don't know where he starts and you stop.
00:17:02.415 --> 00:17:04.050
Starts and you stop. you don't look like you
00:17:04.117 --> 00:17:04.851
You don't look like you used to look.
00:17:04.918 --> 00:17:07.220
Used to look. you look like he wants you
00:17:07.287 --> 00:17:08.254
You look like he wants you to look.
00:17:08.321 --> 00:17:09.556
To look. you don't act like you
00:17:09.622 --> 00:17:10.590
You don't act like you used to act.
00:17:10.657 --> 00:17:11.324
Used to act. you act like he wants you
00:17:11.391 --> 00:17:12.358
You act like he wants you to act.
00:17:12.425 --> 00:17:13.660
To act. you're now a part --
00:17:13.726 --> 00:17:14.894
You're now a part -- (applause)
00:17:14.961 --> 00:17:16.463
(applause) -- of his purpose,
00:17:16.529 --> 00:17:18.698
-- of his purpose, fulfilling his will,
00:17:18.765 --> 00:17:20.900
Fulfilling his will, doing his priority.
00:17:20.967 --> 00:17:26.239
Doing his priority. your life is a vessel.
00:17:26.306 --> 00:17:29.275
Your life is a vessel. the question is:
00:17:29.342 --> 00:17:29.709
The question is: "what's it full of?"
00:17:29.776 --> 00:17:33.680
"what's it full of?" the world?
00:17:33.746 --> 00:17:35.014
The world? (puts dirt in cup.)
00:17:35.081 --> 00:17:36.516
(puts dirt in cup.) it don't mix with the water
00:17:36.583 --> 00:17:37.617
It don't mix with the water of the word.
00:17:37.684 --> 00:17:39.319
Of the word. (pours water over the dirt.)
00:17:39.385 --> 00:17:44.090
(pours water over the dirt.) the reason that many of you
00:17:44.157 --> 00:17:45.191
The reason that many of you can't get people to come to
00:17:45.258 --> 00:17:46.259
Can't get people to come to church with you is because
00:17:46.326 --> 00:17:47.327
Church with you is because this is what you're offering
00:17:47.393 --> 00:17:48.294
This is what you're offering them to drink,
00:17:48.361 --> 00:17:51.898
Them to drink, a little bit of the word
00:17:51.965 --> 00:17:53.133
A little bit of the word and a little bit of the world.
00:17:53.199 --> 00:17:54.901
And a little bit of the world. [that's right.]
00:17:54.968 --> 00:17:55.835
[that's right.] and it's just too muddy
00:17:55.902 --> 00:17:58.037
And it's just too muddy for them to trust.
00:17:58.104 --> 00:18:00.273
For them to trust. but when your life has been
00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:01.541
But when your life has been poured out and god's presence
00:18:01.608 --> 00:18:05.912
Poured out and god's presence has been poured in,
00:18:05.979 --> 00:18:07.847
Has been poured in, (pours clean water into cup.)
00:18:07.914 --> 00:18:09.349
(pours clean water into cup.) and this living water is
00:18:09.415 --> 00:18:10.517
And this living water is something that satisfies
00:18:10.583 --> 00:18:11.818
Something that satisfies your life,
00:18:11.885 --> 00:18:13.086
Your life, it won't be hard to persuade
00:18:13.153 --> 00:18:14.287
It won't be hard to persuade people to take it.
00:18:14.354 --> 00:18:16.456
People to take it. (applause)
00:18:16.523 --> 00:18:20.827
(applause) paul wrote to the church
00:18:20.894 --> 00:18:21.594
Paul wrote to the church in ephesians,
00:18:21.661 --> 00:18:22.328
In ephesians, "be filled with
00:18:22.395 --> 00:18:23.062
"be filled with the holy spirit,
00:18:23.129 --> 00:18:25.131
The holy spirit, speaking to one another
00:18:25.198 --> 00:18:26.332
Speaking to one another in psalms,
00:18:26.399 --> 00:18:27.901
In psalms, and in hymns...
00:18:27.967 --> 00:18:30.136
And in hymns... giving thanks...
00:18:30.203 --> 00:18:33.206
Giving thanks... in all things."
00:18:33.273 --> 00:18:35.341
In all things." how many of you know that's
00:18:35.408 --> 00:18:36.342
How many of you know that's hard to do in your strength?
00:18:36.409 --> 00:18:38.411
Hard to do in your strength? [yes.]
00:18:38.478 --> 00:18:40.280
[yes.] giving thanks in all things?
00:18:40.346 --> 00:18:44.951
Giving thanks in all things? and i don't know about you,
00:18:45.018 --> 00:18:45.652
And i don't know about you, but there's just some things
00:18:45.718 --> 00:18:46.619
But there's just some things i can't be thankful for.
00:18:46.686 --> 00:18:48.454
I can't be thankful for. [right.]
00:18:48.521 --> 00:18:49.222
[right.] april 15th?
00:18:49.289 --> 00:18:51.357
April 15th? (laughter)

Whew! (laughter)
00:18:53.526 --> 00:18:54.727
(laughter) that's hard.
00:18:54.794 --> 00:18:56.162
That's hard. ♪ music
00:18:56.229 --> 00:18:58.198
♪ music life will sooner or later
00:18:58.264 --> 00:18:59.365
Life will sooner or later knock whatever's in you,
00:18:59.432 --> 00:19:00.967
Knock whatever's in you, out of you.
00:19:01.034 --> 00:19:04.204
Out of you. and when it knocks over
00:19:04.270 --> 00:19:05.738
And when it knocks over a child of god that has
00:19:05.805 --> 00:19:07.040
A child of god that has nothing in them,
00:19:07.106 --> 00:19:07.607
Nothing in them, guess what you pour out?
00:19:07.674 --> 00:19:09.475
Guess what you pour out? nothing.
00:19:09.542 --> 00:19:10.710
Nothing. when it knocks over a saint
00:19:10.777 --> 00:19:12.278
When it knocks over a saint that's full of the dirt from
00:19:12.345 --> 00:19:13.446
That's full of the dirt from the world,

The world, guess what you pour out?
00:19:14.147 --> 00:19:15.815
Guess what you pour out? the world.
00:19:15.882 --> 00:19:16.749
The world. you ever been around a brother
00:19:16.816 --> 00:19:17.684
You ever been around a brother in christ that had a bad day,
00:19:17.750 --> 00:19:19.018
In christ that had a bad day, and he used words you knew
00:19:19.085 --> 00:19:20.186
And he used words you knew not of?
00:19:20.253 --> 00:19:21.821
Not of? (laughter)
00:19:21.888 --> 00:19:24.390
(laughter) that's because that's what's
00:19:24.457 --> 00:19:25.024
That's because that's what's on the inside.
00:19:25.091 --> 00:19:26.226
On the inside. [right.]
00:19:26.292 --> 00:19:27.260
[right.] but when the enemy comes after
00:19:27.327 --> 00:19:28.861
But when the enemy comes after somebody who's full of

Somebody who's full of the word and full of

The presence of the lord, and gives them trouble,

And gives them trouble, and gives them trials,
00:19:37.370 --> 00:19:40.073
And gives them trials, it starts to pour things out
00:19:40.139 --> 00:19:42.442
It starts to pour things out of them that other people
00:19:42.508 --> 00:19:44.510
Of them that other people start to see and feel.
00:19:44.577 --> 00:19:45.478
Start to see and feel. and they say,
00:19:45.545 --> 00:19:45.979
And they say, "you know what?

I want to know how he did that."
00:19:48.715 --> 00:19:49.782
That." [amen.]

[amen.] i'll take you to a place in
00:19:50.583 --> 00:19:51.351
I'll take you to a place in scripture where you see this.
00:19:51.417 --> 00:19:54.887
Scripture where you see this. and by god's grace,
00:19:54.954 --> 00:19:55.722
And by god's grace, you'll understand who you are
00:19:55.788 --> 00:19:58.258
You'll understand who you are and who you need to be in it.
00:19:58.324 --> 00:20:00.627
And who you need to be in it. remember,
00:20:00.693 --> 00:20:00.994
Remember, the word of god
00:20:01.060 --> 00:20:03.930
The word of god is a living stream.
00:20:03.997 --> 00:20:06.733
Is a living stream. his spirit is always being
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:08.134
His spirit is always being poured out.
00:20:08.201 --> 00:20:11.137
Poured out. in acts 16,
00:20:11.204 --> 00:20:12.405
In acts 16, it says that paul and silas,
00:20:12.472 --> 00:20:15.742
It says that paul and silas, they were doing god's will.
00:20:15.808 --> 00:20:17.043
They were doing god's will. they were out ministering.
00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:20.413
They were out ministering. and there was a disruption.
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.848
And there was a disruption. a girl with a demon spirit
00:20:21.914 --> 00:20:23.449
A girl with a demon spirit came to them.
00:20:23.516 --> 00:20:24.183
Came to them. and paul did what
00:20:24.250 --> 00:20:25.918
And paul did what bible-believing christians do,
00:20:25.985 --> 00:20:27.320
Bible-believing christians do, he cast the spirit out of her.
00:20:27.387 --> 00:20:30.156
He cast the spirit out of her. now the second that he did
00:20:30.223 --> 00:20:31.224
Now the second that he did this, he was in trouble,
00:20:31.291 --> 00:20:32.959
This, he was in trouble, because the individuals
00:20:33.026 --> 00:20:35.695
Because the individuals that were using the girl
00:20:35.762 --> 00:20:37.163
That were using the girl for their financial gain,
00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:38.698
For their financial gain, they were using her to cast
00:20:38.765 --> 00:20:40.867
They were using her to cast spells and tell fortunes,
00:20:40.933 --> 00:20:43.269
Spells and tell fortunes, they lost their piggy bank
00:20:43.336 --> 00:20:45.938
They lost their piggy bank because she was now set free.
00:20:46.005 --> 00:20:48.708
Because she was now set free. so they went and accused paul
00:20:48.775 --> 00:20:50.576
So they went and accused paul of doing something that was
00:20:50.643 --> 00:20:51.511
Of doing something that was against the law.
00:20:51.577 --> 00:20:52.745
Against the law. and in order to keep
00:20:52.812 --> 00:20:54.113
And in order to keep law and order,
00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:55.782
Law and order, paul finds himself arrested.
00:20:55.848 --> 00:20:58.951
Paul finds himself arrested. now the thing that i think is
00:20:59.018 --> 00:21:00.219
Now the thing that i think is so cool about this story --
00:21:00.286 --> 00:21:01.487
So cool about this story -- this is just pastor matt
00:21:01.554 --> 00:21:02.455
This is just pastor matt giving you a little tidbit
00:21:02.522 --> 00:21:03.489
Giving you a little tidbit here.
00:21:03.556 --> 00:21:04.123
Here. -- is that silas got arrested
00:21:04.190 --> 00:21:05.758
-- is that silas got arrested too.
00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:07.593
Too. everybody needs a friend
00:21:07.660 --> 00:21:08.428
Everybody needs a friend that'll go to jail with them.
00:21:08.494 --> 00:21:09.696
That'll go to jail with them. [yes.]
00:21:09.762 --> 00:21:10.396
[yes.] (laughter)
00:21:10.463 --> 00:21:11.197
(laughter) because trust me,
00:21:11.264 --> 00:21:11.798
Because trust me, most of you would have been
00:21:11.864 --> 00:21:12.465
Most of you would have been like, "i don't know paul.
00:21:12.532 --> 00:21:14.367
Like, "i don't know paul. i just met him yesterday.
00:21:14.434 --> 00:21:15.568
I just met him yesterday. we were traveling together.
00:21:15.635 --> 00:21:18.404
We were traveling together. take him."
00:21:18.471 --> 00:21:19.972
Take him." (laughter)
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.574
(laughter) but silas and paul spend
00:21:21.641 --> 00:21:23.076
But silas and paul spend the next several hours
00:21:23.142 --> 00:21:24.977
The next several hours in the hands of
00:21:25.044 --> 00:21:25.611
In the hands of a roman jailer.
00:21:25.678 --> 00:21:27.246
A roman jailer. and the bible says that
00:21:27.313 --> 00:21:28.147
And the bible says that by the end of the day,
00:21:28.214 --> 00:21:29.248
By the end of the day, they are beaten and they are
00:21:29.315 --> 00:21:31.484
They are beaten and they are chained to a wall in the
00:21:31.551 --> 00:21:33.119
Chained to a wall in the innermost parts of a dungeon.
00:21:33.186 --> 00:21:36.656
Innermost parts of a dungeon. i don't know what sermon paul
00:21:36.723 --> 00:21:38.591
I don't know what sermon paul wanted to preach.
00:21:38.658 --> 00:21:40.760
Wanted to preach. but i promise you,
00:21:40.827 --> 00:21:42.395
But i promise you, (pours clean water into cup.)
00:21:42.462 --> 00:21:43.096
(pours clean water into cup.) everything that he and silas
00:21:43.162 --> 00:21:44.297
Everything that he and silas had been through knocked
00:21:44.364 --> 00:21:46.432
Had been through knocked the sermon out of them.
00:21:46.499 --> 00:21:50.603
The sermon out of them. and at this point,
00:21:50.670 --> 00:21:51.137
And at this point, they're pretty empty.
00:21:51.204 --> 00:21:55.141
They're pretty empty. you say,
00:21:55.208 --> 00:21:55.675
You say, "how do you know that?"
00:21:55.742 --> 00:21:57.443
"how do you know that?" i promise you,
00:21:57.510 --> 00:21:58.177
I promise you, if you live long enough,
00:21:58.244 --> 00:21:58.978
If you live long enough, you'll find out that the world
00:21:59.045 --> 00:22:00.246
You'll find out that the world can knock stuff out of you.
00:22:00.313 --> 00:22:04.250
Can knock stuff out of you. you also know it,
00:22:04.317 --> 00:22:05.051
You also know it, because when you read
00:22:05.118 --> 00:22:05.952
Because when you read scripture, it says,
00:22:06.018 --> 00:22:06.719
Scripture, it says, "but at midnight."
00:22:06.786 --> 00:22:09.622
"but at midnight." paul and silas were doing
00:22:09.689 --> 00:22:10.823
Paul and silas were doing what?
00:22:10.890 --> 00:22:12.792
What? they were singing and giving
00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:15.328
They were singing and giving praise unto god.
00:22:15.395 --> 00:22:18.030
Praise unto god. what do spirit-filled people
00:22:18.097 --> 00:22:19.432
What do spirit-filled people do?
00:22:19.499 --> 00:22:19.866
Do? they sing songs and hymns,
00:22:19.932 --> 00:22:22.702
They sing songs and hymns, and they're thankful
00:22:22.769 --> 00:22:24.504
And they're thankful for everything.
00:22:24.570 --> 00:22:27.707
For everything. paul and silas are encouraging
00:22:27.774 --> 00:22:29.142
Paul and silas are encouraging one another with the worship
00:22:29.208 --> 00:22:30.209
One another with the worship that they're singing.
00:22:30.276 --> 00:22:31.911
That they're singing. and as they're worshiping,
00:22:31.978 --> 00:22:33.346
And as they're worshiping, all of a sudden,
00:22:33.413 --> 00:22:33.980
All of a sudden, heaven shows up
00:22:34.046 --> 00:22:35.181
Heaven shows up in that prison.
00:22:35.248 --> 00:22:37.049
In that prison. when you read the end of
00:22:37.116 --> 00:22:37.884
When you read the end of that story,
00:22:37.950 --> 00:22:38.518
That story, what you find out is that
00:22:38.584 --> 00:22:39.786
What you find out is that soon as they began to worship
00:22:39.852 --> 00:22:41.788
Soon as they began to worship and praise,
00:22:41.854 --> 00:22:42.722
And praise, an angel of the lord came down
00:22:42.789 --> 00:22:44.557
An angel of the lord came down into that prison where they
00:22:44.624 --> 00:22:45.658
Into that prison where they were, and indeed,
00:22:45.725 --> 00:22:46.893
Were, and indeed, all that they needed,
00:22:46.959 --> 00:22:48.361
All that they needed, the hand of heaven provided.
00:22:48.428 --> 00:22:49.829
The hand of heaven provided. because the bible says that
00:22:49.896 --> 00:22:50.863
Because the bible says that every door was ripped from
00:22:50.930 --> 00:22:52.532
Every door was ripped from its hinge,
00:22:52.598 --> 00:22:53.299
Its hinge, and every chain was broken
00:22:53.366 --> 00:22:55.101
And every chain was broken from the wall,
00:22:55.168 --> 00:22:55.968
From the wall, and every wall and every
00:22:56.035 --> 00:22:57.804
And every wall and every barrier began to fall.
00:22:57.870 --> 00:22:59.505
Barrier began to fall. and every prisoner,
00:22:59.572 --> 00:23:00.606
And every prisoner, not just paul,
00:23:00.673 --> 00:23:01.707
Not just paul, not just silas,
00:23:01.774 --> 00:23:02.975
Not just silas, but all of those who were also
00:23:03.042 --> 00:23:04.744
But all of those who were also in the dungeon that night,
00:23:04.811 --> 00:23:06.312
In the dungeon that night, every one of them
00:23:06.379 --> 00:23:07.547
Every one of them were set free.
00:23:07.613 --> 00:23:08.948
Were set free. why?
00:23:09.015 --> 00:23:09.449
Why? because this is what the power
00:23:09.515 --> 00:23:11.184
Because this is what the power of the holy spirit does
00:23:11.250 --> 00:23:12.718
Of the holy spirit does in your life!
00:23:12.785 --> 00:23:14.053
In your life! (applause)
00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:19.459
(applause) and you say,
00:23:19.525 --> 00:23:19.892
And you say, "how does that help me
00:23:19.959 --> 00:23:20.560
"how does that help me witness?"
00:23:20.626 --> 00:23:21.861
Witness?" i'm so glad you asked.
00:23:21.928 --> 00:23:25.398
I'm so glad you asked. the philippian jailer,
00:23:25.465 --> 00:23:26.499
The philippian jailer, who knew that if he lost
00:23:26.566 --> 00:23:28.134
Who knew that if he lost one prisoner,
00:23:28.201 --> 00:23:29.068
One prisoner, he would have to pay with
00:23:29.135 --> 00:23:29.936
He would have to pay with his own life.
00:23:30.002 --> 00:23:31.871
His own life. he runs in and he sees what's
00:23:31.938 --> 00:23:33.506
He runs in and he sees what's happened to the jail.
00:23:33.573 --> 00:23:34.474
Happened to the jail. there's no walls.
00:23:34.540 --> 00:23:35.508
There's no walls. there's no chains.
00:23:35.575 --> 00:23:36.476
There's no chains. there's no doors.
00:23:36.542 --> 00:23:38.478
There's no doors. now i don't know about you,
00:23:38.544 --> 00:23:39.512
Now i don't know about you, but if i'm going to jail
00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:40.446
But if i'm going to jail and the wall disappears,
00:23:40.513 --> 00:23:41.481
And the wall disappears, i'm leaving.
00:23:41.547 --> 00:23:43.115
I'm leaving. (laughter)
00:23:43.182 --> 00:23:47.286
(laughter) but all of these prisoners
00:23:47.353 --> 00:23:48.654
But all of these prisoners didn't go anywhere.
00:23:48.721 --> 00:23:50.623
Didn't go anywhere. why?
00:23:50.690 --> 00:23:51.958
Why? because of the unavoidable
00:23:52.024 --> 00:23:53.159
Because of the unavoidable influence of the power of
00:23:53.226 --> 00:23:54.360
Influence of the power of the holy spirit.
00:23:54.427 --> 00:23:55.161
The holy spirit. what they felt listening to
00:23:55.228 --> 00:23:56.996
What they felt listening to paul and silas pour out their
00:23:57.063 --> 00:23:58.898
Paul and silas pour out their praise was better than any
00:23:58.965 --> 00:24:00.366
Praise was better than any place on earth they could be.
00:24:00.433 --> 00:24:02.235
Place on earth they could be. [yes.]
00:24:02.301 --> 00:24:03.469
[yes.] and paul tells this jailer;
00:24:03.536 --> 00:24:04.937
And paul tells this jailer; he says,
00:24:05.004 --> 00:24:05.371
He says, "don't harm yourself.
00:24:05.438 --> 00:24:07.607
"don't harm yourself. we're all here,"
00:24:07.673 --> 00:24:09.308
We're all here," we're just having church.
00:24:09.375 --> 00:24:11.444
We're just having church. (laughter)
00:24:11.511 --> 00:24:13.145
(laughter) and the philippian jailer
00:24:13.212 --> 00:24:13.880
And the philippian jailer says,
00:24:13.946 --> 00:24:14.480
Says, "what do i need to do to be
00:24:14.547 --> 00:24:18.351
"what do i need to do to be saved?"
00:24:18.417 --> 00:24:19.118
Saved?" [yes.]
00:24:19.185 --> 00:24:20.553
[yes.] there is no reason why this
00:24:20.620 --> 00:24:21.988
There is no reason why this church cannot see tens of
00:24:22.054 --> 00:24:24.056
Church cannot see tens of thousands of people won to
00:24:24.123 --> 00:24:25.958
Thousands of people won to christ if we will simply
00:24:26.025 --> 00:24:27.693
Christ if we will simply take what's in us and impart
00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:29.562
Take what's in us and impart it to those who need to know
00:24:29.629 --> 00:24:31.430
It to those who need to know who jesus is.
00:24:31.497 --> 00:24:32.565
Who jesus is. if we can simply take what
00:24:32.632 --> 00:24:34.133
If we can simply take what he's put in us
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:35.535
He's put in us and pour it out,
00:24:35.601 --> 00:24:36.435
And pour it out, so that they will want to know
00:24:36.502 --> 00:24:38.004
So that they will want to know that jesus christ
00:24:38.070 --> 00:24:39.138
That jesus christ is a redeemer;
00:24:39.205 --> 00:24:40.106
Is a redeemer; that they will want to know
00:24:40.172 --> 00:24:41.140
That they will want to know that jesus christ
00:24:41.207 --> 00:24:42.441
That jesus christ is the conqueror of death,
00:24:42.508 --> 00:24:43.643
Is the conqueror of death, hell and the grave;
00:24:43.709 --> 00:24:44.477
Hell and the grave; that they will want to know
00:24:44.544 --> 00:24:45.945
That they will want to know that we have the answer,
00:24:46.012 --> 00:24:48.180
That we have the answer, and he is the king of kings
00:24:48.247 --> 00:24:49.715
And he is the king of kings and he is the lord of lords,
00:24:49.782 --> 00:24:51.183
And he is the lord of lords, and jesus is his name.
00:24:51.250 --> 00:24:53.486
And jesus is his name. would you stand and give
00:24:53.553 --> 00:24:54.320
Would you stand and give the lord a handclap of praise
00:24:54.387 --> 00:24:56.255
The lord a handclap of praise in this house?
00:24:56.322 --> 00:24:57.924
In this house? heavenly father,
00:24:57.990 --> 00:24:58.491
Heavenly father, we thank you.

We thank you because the holy spirit that is in us

The holy spirit that is in us cannot be defeated,
00:25:11.437 --> 00:25:13.139
Cannot be defeated, because it is full of
00:25:13.205 --> 00:25:14.607
Because it is full of the power of heaven above.

The power of heaven above. lord, i'm asking you,
00:25:16.475 --> 00:25:17.710
Lord, i'm asking you, in jesus' name,
00:25:17.777 --> 00:25:19.078
In jesus' name, let the power of the spirit
00:25:19.145 --> 00:25:20.446
Let the power of the spirit move in our lives,
00:25:20.513 --> 00:25:22.148
Move in our lives, and let it set captives free.
00:25:22.214 --> 00:25:24.550
And let it set captives free. let it break chains
00:25:24.617 --> 00:25:25.952
Let it break chains of bondage.
00:25:26.018 --> 00:25:26.819
Of bondage. let it lift burdens
00:25:26.886 --> 00:25:28.087
Let it lift burdens of heaviness.
00:25:28.154 --> 00:25:29.088
Of heaviness. heavenly father,

Pastor matt hagee: there is a real difference between
00:25:47.373 --> 00:25:48.741
A real difference between possessing information
00:25:48.808 --> 00:25:50.810
Possessing information and being able to impart
00:25:50.876 --> 00:25:52.545
And being able to impart power.
00:25:52.612 --> 00:25:53.546
Power. when you have the holy spirit
00:25:53.613 --> 00:25:54.747
When you have the holy spirit present in your life,
00:25:54.814 --> 00:25:56.382
Present in your life, you'll have the ability
00:25:56.449 --> 00:25:57.483
You'll have the ability to impart the power
00:25:57.550 --> 00:25:59.085
To impart the power and the presence of god
00:25:59.151 --> 00:26:00.386
And the presence of god into the lives of others.
00:26:00.453 --> 00:26:01.988
Into the lives of others. i pray that you'll do that
00:26:02.054 --> 00:26:03.122
I pray that you'll do that in some way this week,
00:26:03.189 --> 00:26:05.024
In some way this week, so that others will see
00:26:05.091 --> 00:26:06.092
So that others will see and know who jesus is.
00:26:06.158 --> 00:26:07.994
