That important question and so much more coming up. first, we want to share
00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:52.976
One woman's need for help
00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:54.878

That's what the holy spirit is all about. meet clare.
00:00:58.915 --> 00:01:00.450
>> clare: i took an opportunity
00:01:00.984 --> 00:01:03.319
That wasn't a very good
00:01:03.386 --> 00:01:04.487
Opportunity to make money,
00:01:04.554 --> 00:01:06.022
Which basically was
00:01:06.089 --> 00:01:08.057
A criminal act.
00:01:08.124 --> 00:01:08.758
I got busted,
00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:11.928
And it caused me to get
00:01:11.995 --> 00:01:14.631
Sentenced to four years
00:01:14.697 --> 00:01:15.932
In a women's federal
00:01:15.999 --> 00:01:17.233
Prison camp.
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:18.668
I wanted to die.
00:01:19.202 --> 00:01:20.403
[sighs]
00:01:20.703 --> 00:01:22.539
I was embarrassed.
00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:24.040
I was embarrassed. i let my kids down.
00:01:24.107 --> 00:01:25.842
I let my kids down. there's nothing fun
00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:26.676
There's nothing fun about having your kids
00:01:26.743 --> 00:01:28.411
About having your kids come and visit you in prison,
00:01:28.478 --> 00:01:30.313
Come and visit you in prison, and then especially
00:01:30.380 --> 00:01:31.247
And then especially when they're thinking
00:01:31.314 --> 00:01:32.782
When they're thinking the worst will happen.
00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:34.184
The worst will happen. and then when
00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:34.817
And then when it's time to leave,
00:01:34.884 --> 00:01:35.585
It's time to leave, you see them go one way
00:01:35.652 --> 00:01:37.587
You see them go one way and you're going the other way.
00:01:37.654 --> 00:01:39.889
And you're going the other way. and it was at that moment that
00:01:39.956 --> 00:01:41.724
And it was at that moment that i became so overwhelmed
00:01:41.791 --> 00:01:43.459
I became so overwhelmed in a way that i've never
00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:44.794
In a way that i've never experienced before.
00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:47.063
Experienced before. and i immediately
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:49.632
And i immediately went to my room,
00:01:49.699 --> 00:01:54.637
Went to my room, grabbed shower gear,
00:01:54.704 --> 00:01:56.005
Grabbed shower gear, grabbed medicine,
00:01:56.072 --> 00:01:56.839
Grabbed medicine, grabbed my razor blade.
00:01:56.906 --> 00:01:58.174
Grabbed my razor blade. and i went into the shower
00:01:58.241 --> 00:01:59.309
And i went into the shower because that's one
00:01:59.375 --> 00:02:00.043
Because that's one of the places that you can
00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:01.744
Of the places that you can go and be private with your
00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:03.880
Go and be private with your feelings and your emotions.
00:02:03.947 --> 00:02:06.883
Feelings and your emotions. and in there i was having
00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:07.917
And in there i was having the worst panic attack
00:02:07.984 --> 00:02:09.252
The worst panic attack of my life.
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.420
Of my life. i couldn't breathe.
00:02:10.486 --> 00:02:11.187
I couldn't breathe. i had a horrible headache.
00:02:11.254 --> 00:02:13.690
I had a horrible headache. and i was gonna kill
00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:14.958
And i was gonna kill myself in that shower.
00:02:15.024 --> 00:02:18.628
Myself in that shower. and--because there was
00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:20.263
And--because there was no way in the world
00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:20.997
No way in the world that i could continue.
00:02:21.064 --> 00:02:21.965
That i could continue. i broke my children's
00:02:22.031 --> 00:02:22.599
I broke my children's heart.
00:02:22.665 --> 00:02:23.066
Heart. i let them down.
00:02:23.132 --> 00:02:24.367
I let them down. that was something
00:02:24.434 --> 00:02:24.934
That was something i didn't wanna
00:02:25.001 --> 00:02:25.468
I didn't wanna do to them,
00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:26.236
Do to them, because that's
00:02:26.302 --> 00:02:27.136
Because that's what's been
00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:27.870
What's been done to me.
00:02:27.937 --> 00:02:28.471
Done to me. in that shower, i was like,
00:02:28.538 --> 00:02:29.439
In that shower, i was like, "i'm gonna die," and i wanna die
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:32.242
"i'm gonna die," and i wanna die and so, it wasn't until
00:02:32.308 --> 00:02:37.580
And so, it wasn't until i almost got ready to take
00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:40.850
I almost got ready to take the pills and remove
00:02:40.917 --> 00:02:43.152
The pills and remove the razor from the razor blade
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.721
The razor from the razor blade and commit the act
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:47.523
And commit the act that all of a sudden
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:49.626
That all of a sudden the lights got really bright,
00:02:49.692 --> 00:02:52.795
The lights got really bright, and i heard god's voice,
00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:57.667
And i heard god's voice, or the voice of the holy spirit,
00:02:57.734 --> 00:03:01.404
Or the voice of the holy spirit, saying that, "clare,
00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:02.772
Saying that, "clare, if you just hold on,
00:03:02.839 --> 00:03:04.741
If you just hold on, if you just hold on to me,
00:03:04.807 --> 00:03:06.609
If you just hold on to me, i promise you that i will
00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:09.279
I promise you that i will take care of you and your
00:03:09.345 --> 00:03:10.380
Take care of you and your children will be all right."
00:03:10.446 --> 00:03:11.848
Children will be all right." and it was at that moment
00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:13.549
And it was at that moment that--just a peace came over
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:17.520
That--just a peace came over me and i was able to breathe.
00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:19.489
Me and i was able to breathe. and i was like, i surrendered,
00:03:19.555 --> 00:03:21.791
And i was like, i surrendered, not knowing that that's what
00:03:21.858 --> 00:03:22.792
Not knowing that that's what it meant, but i said, "okay."
00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:24.894
It meant, but i said, "okay." i agreed with him.
00:03:24.961 --> 00:03:26.062
I agreed with him. i'm gonna trust
00:03:26.129 --> 00:03:27.864
I'm gonna trust whatever this is
00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:28.731
Whatever this is that just happened.
00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:29.632
That just happened. but that was
00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:30.099
But that was my very first true
00:03:30.166 --> 00:03:32.068
My very first true identifiable encounter
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:34.003
Identifiable encounter with god.
00:03:34.070 --> 00:03:37.540

00:03:46.849 --> 00:03:48.151
Of prison and doing very well. god gave her wisdom and answers through those
00:03:48.217 --> 00:03:50.353
God gave her wisdom and answers through those very difficult days and beyond,
00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:52.522
And answers through those very difficult days and beyond, the work of the holy spirit
00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:54.590
Very difficult days and beyond, the work of the holy spirit in her life.

The work of the holy spirit in her life. and clare responded with

In her life. and clare responded with a listening ear and obedience.

And clare responded with a listening ear and obedience. god continues to do beautiful

A listening ear and obedience. god continues to do beautiful things in her life,
00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:02.565
God continues to do beautiful things in her life, and that's what he asks of us.

Things in her life, and that's what he asks of us. he sends

And that's what he asks of us. he sends the holy spirit to help us,
00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:06.436
He sends the holy spirit to help us, and we have to do our part.

Joyce shares with us about the holy spirit and how to be sensitive to him.
00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:15.178
>> joyce: so, i wanna talk
00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:18.181
>> joyce: so, i wanna talk to you tonight--
00:04:18.247 --> 00:04:18.881
>> joyce: so, i wanna talk to you tonight-- gonna start talking to you
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:19.849
To you tonight-- gonna start talking to you about the holy spirit
00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:20.883
Gonna start talking to you about the holy spirit because i don't think
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:22.185
About the holy spirit because i don't think he gets enough attention.
00:04:22.251 --> 00:04:25.788
Because i don't think he gets enough attention. i just don't.
00:04:25.855 --> 00:04:27.123
He gets enough attention. i just don't. we talk a lot about
00:04:27.190 --> 00:04:27.890
I just don't. we talk a lot about god the father
00:04:27.957 --> 00:04:28.991
We talk a lot about god the father and a lot about jesus,
00:04:29.058 --> 00:04:29.926
God the father and a lot about jesus, and we should.
00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:31.661
And a lot about jesus, and we should. but i went to church
00:04:31.728 --> 00:04:35.164
And we should. but i went to church for many, many, many years,
00:04:35.231 --> 00:04:37.533
But i went to church for many, many, many years, and of course,
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:38.735
For many, many, many years, and of course, i heard the holy spirit
00:04:38.801 --> 00:04:40.570
And of course, i heard the holy spirit in the benediction,
00:04:40.636 --> 00:04:41.838
I heard the holy spirit in the benediction, but i never heard a message.
00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:44.273
In the benediction, but i never heard a message. on the holy spirit
00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:45.074
But i never heard a message. on the holy spirit or how important
00:04:45.141 --> 00:04:45.808
On the holy spirit or how important he was to me, in my daily life.
00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.811
Or how important he was to me, in my daily life. and so, we wanna dig in tonight,
00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:51.247
He was to me, in my daily life. and so, we wanna dig in tonight, and hopefully everybody
00:04:51.314 --> 00:04:55.318
And so, we wanna dig in tonight, and hopefully everybody can leave here knowing how
00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:57.987
And hopefully everybody can leave here knowing how important the holy spirit
00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.055
Can leave here knowing how important the holy spirit is to you.
00:04:59.122 --> 00:05:00.757
Important the holy spirit is to you. well, who is the holy spirit?
00:05:00.823 --> 00:05:01.991
Is to you. well, who is the holy spirit? well, we usually refer
00:05:02.058 --> 00:05:03.059
Well, who is the holy spirit? well, we usually refer to him as the third person
00:05:03.126 --> 00:05:04.060
Well, we usually refer to him as the third person of the trinity.
00:05:04.127 --> 00:05:04.727
To him as the third person of the trinity. but third doesn't mean
00:05:04.794 --> 00:05:05.661
Of the trinity. but third doesn't mean that he's any less than
00:05:05.728 --> 00:05:06.529
But third doesn't mean that he's any less than the other two.
00:05:06.596 --> 00:05:08.431
That he's any less than the other two. it's not like one
00:05:08.498 --> 00:05:09.399
The other two. it's not like one is the most important,
00:05:09.465 --> 00:05:10.400
It's not like one is the most important, two is second important,
00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:12.301
Is the most important, two is second important, three's kind of on the bottom
00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:13.536
Two is second important, three's kind of on the bottom of the ladder.
00:05:13.603 --> 00:05:14.737
Three's kind of on the bottom of the ladder. we serve one god, three persons.
00:05:14.804 --> 00:05:21.544
Of course, that doesn't
00:05:21.611 --> 00:05:22.578
Of course, that doesn't make any sense to us.
00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:23.613
Of course, that doesn't make any sense to us. we can't figure that out
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:25.581
Make any sense to us. we can't figure that out mathematically, in our heads.
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.717
We can't figure that out mathematically, in our heads. and one big favor you could
00:05:27.784 --> 00:05:30.420
Mathematically, in our heads. and one big favor you could do yourself right now
00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:31.387
And one big favor you could do yourself right now is if you would just
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:32.155
Do yourself right now is if you would just make a decision to stop
00:05:32.221 --> 00:05:33.189
Is if you would just make a decision to stop trying to figure god out.
00:05:33.256 --> 00:05:37.827
Make a decision to stop trying to figure god out. because you're not going to.
00:05:37.894 --> 00:05:39.962
Trying to figure god out. because you're not going to. you're just not going to.

Because you're not going to. you're just not going to. he just doesn't do things
00:05:41.264 --> 00:05:44.066
You're just not going to. he just doesn't do things the way we would do them.

I'm just gonna read you two scriptures, i think, that will verify the fact

Two scriptures, i think, that will verify the fact that the bible talks
00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:55.845
That will verify the fact that the bible talks about all three persons
00:05:55.912 --> 00:05:57.980
That the bible talks about all three persons of this one amazingly,
00:05:58.047 --> 00:05:59.649
About all three persons of this one amazingly, wonderful god, that we serve.
00:05:59.715 --> 00:06:03.686
Of this one amazingly, wonderful god, that we serve. "god said, 'let us--'"
00:06:03.753 --> 00:06:06.255
Wonderful god, that we serve. "god said, 'let us--'" genesis 1:26, "'let us

Baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit."
00:07:11.687 --> 00:07:14.891
When jesus left the earth,
00:07:14.957 --> 00:07:19.462
When jesus left the earth, he sent the holy spirit
00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:22.164
When jesus left the earth, he sent the holy spirit to represent him
00:07:22.231 --> 00:07:23.566
He sent the holy spirit to represent him and to act in his behalf.
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:28.070
To represent him and to act in his behalf. and in john 16:7, jesus said,
00:07:28.137 --> 00:07:30.339
And to act in his behalf. and in john 16:7, jesus said, "however, i am telling you
00:07:30.406 --> 00:07:31.674
And in john 16:7, jesus said, "however, i am telling you nothing but the truth

"however, i am telling you nothing but the truth when when i say,
00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:34.911
Nothing but the truth when when i say, 'it's gonna be better

When when i say, 'it's gonna be better for you when i go away,

Because if i don't go away, then the holy spirit can't come.'"
00:07:43.119 --> 00:07:44.320
Then the holy spirit can't come.'" now, i'm sure that the disciples
00:07:44.387 --> 00:07:47.423
Just couldn't make
00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:48.357
Just couldn't make any sense out of that at all.
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:49.392
Just couldn't make any sense out of that at all. how could anything
00:07:49.458 --> 00:07:50.359
Any sense out of that at all. how could anything be better than having
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.394
How could anything be better than having jesus right there with you?
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:54.997
Be better than having jesus right there with you? well, the thing that's so much
00:07:55.064 --> 00:07:56.832
Jesus right there with you? well, the thing that's so much better about it is because
00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.200
Well, the thing that's so much better about it is because jesus was in a human body
00:07:58.267 --> 00:07:59.735
Better about it is because jesus was in a human body just like i am, and if i'm here
00:07:59.802 --> 00:08:01.370
Jesus was in a human body just like i am, and if i'm here on this platform
00:08:01.437 --> 00:08:02.138
Just like i am, and if i'm here on this platform i can't be across the street.
00:08:02.204 --> 00:08:04.774
On this platform i can't be across the street. and jesus couldn't either.
00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:06.609
I can't be across the street. and jesus couldn't either. but the holy spirit
00:08:06.676 --> 00:08:09.912
And jesus couldn't either. but the holy spirit is not confined to a body.
00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:13.416
He's in every believer.
00:08:14.083 --> 00:08:17.653
He's in every believer. if you've received
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:18.421
He's in every believer. if you've received christ as your savior,
00:08:18.487 --> 00:08:19.555
If you've received christ as your savior, you're the home of god.

With human hands, but-- see, that won't go in, that we're the home of god.
