00:03:34
Speaker
All right, go ahead. That's okay, because you went past what I going to say. No, no, go ahead, go ahead. Well, I was just going to say that, you know, the Holy Spirit, you were talking about Him being our teacher. And in 1 John 2, 20 through 27, you can read that, but it says that,
00:03:50
Speaker
the Holy Spirit teaches us all things. It actually says the anointing, but yeah the anointing comes from the Holy Spirit. Remember, Jesus said, the Spirit of God has anointed me, right? That's what he he said, the Spirit of God has anointed me to do what? There's an anointing when you receive the Holy Spirit to do what God's called you to do and to understand the scriptures. He opens, the Holy Spirit is the one that brings back to your remembrance the Word of God. He's the one that is teaching you the scriptures and in showing you those things. So I just wanted to mention that.
00:04:26
Speaker
Amen. That's a good point. You know, everyone every one of us can succeed in this life because of the Holy Spirit. So, yeah you know what? know for sake of time, let's go to the book of John, chapter 16. Can have you read this for us? Sure. In your translation. In my anointed translation. Yeah, so, my is more anointed than...
00:04:50
Speaker
Yes, that's the bottom line. All right, Book of John chapter, Book of the Gospel, the same Book of John, chapter 16, verse 2051. ah two thousand chance fifty one No, I'm just All right, let's start from verse 7.
00:05:07
Speaker
Verse 7. All right, it says... But in fact, it is better for you that I go away because if I don't, the advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. Amen. And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin and of God's righteousness and of the coming judgment.
00:05:30
Speaker
The world's sin is that it refuses to believe in me. Righteousness is available because I go to the Father and you will see me no more. Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.
00:05:48
Speaker
There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own, but will tell you what He has heard.
00:06:02
Speaker
He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever He receives from me. Amen. all that belongs to the father is mine that is why i said this spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me Amen. Amen. Wow. What a what a beautiful verse. is You know, it says the Holy Spirit will...
00:06:26
Speaker
why is ah see verse verse verse verse eight it a when the holy spirit comes all right he will but he' and one who brings the conviction yeah I think some of us for so long, we're trying to be the Holy Spirit for our loved ones. You know, our you know people are you know we are praying for. No, it is the Holy Spirit that brings the conviction in their hearts so they can repent and turn back to Jesus. So, and it it is a, you know,
00:06:58
Speaker
we We need to know that when you know this, it changes how you pray, all right? The Holy Spirit, first, it brings conviction, all right? And the Holy Spirit also also, you know, the Bible says He knows everything.
00:07:12
Speaker
He will guide you into all truth. Do you need a direction in your life? It is the Holy Spirit that is the answer. All right?
00:07:23
Speaker
You need a guidance in your life. It is the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. yeah Maybe you have a question in your mind, who you should marry, or who, you know, what house you should, you know, you want to buy a house, you say, you know what, do I really need to buy this house? Remember, so some of the things, sometimes we have, we don't really understand the importance of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. right And we have suffered big time.
00:07:51
Speaker
Holy Spirit wants to know. wants to be involved in our daily life. He wants to know. So whatever question you have in your mind, I pray i pray that that you know may the Holy Spirit helps you, brings understanding to those questions or the answer to these questions.
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah. yes Well, I was i was just going to say, so who wrote the Bible? It is the Holy Ghost. Oh, yeah, you know, it is.
Faith and Divine Insight Examples
00:08:21
Speaker
The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible. Yes. But the disciples, the apostles, are just writers. I'm going to clarify that. Yeah. Yeah. the Holy Spirit's the author of the book. Yeah, the book. And the Bible says that the word of God is a lamp unto your feet. So as you're trying to learn to hear and follow the direction of the Holy Spirit,
00:08:41
Speaker
If you're in this book and this book is on the inside of you, then because the Holy Spirit's the author of it, not only can He teach it it to you, but it also begins to guide your path. yeah He begins to give you wisdom on which decision to make. You know, sometimes I think people want like this grand, you know, huge thing like, and an angel appeared to me and told me to do this. But it it's the guiding of the Holy Spirit. It's the leading of the Holy Spirit.
00:09:08
Speaker
And so if you're trying to learn how to follow the Holy Spirit and his ministry in your life, get in the book because he wrote the book. yeah And he'll be able, that like I said, the Bible says it's a lamp unto your path. In other words, it shows you, it lights up the way that you should go. You know, Elijah, when he was, now he was a prophet.
00:09:28
Speaker
The Old Testament's different than the New Testament. But still remember when he was running away and he wanted to hear from God, it was the still small voice. Well, who was that voice?
00:09:38
Speaker
was the Holy Spirit. yeah you know So that still small voice that's on the inside of you, that thing that says, yes, do that, don't do that. ah Listen to that, the voice of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you.
00:09:51
Speaker
Amen. He can answer every question. yeah For example, I believe ah two weeks ago, it was two weeks ago or sometime, know, a few days back, you know, i was, I think it was a ah when we were Sunday service, first service or second, you know, and as as the i asked a question.
00:10:10
Speaker
well, you know, don't don't worry about the time. you know um let me tell you what will happen. And I say, you know, was was Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, these people were born again believers?
00:10:22
Speaker
What do you think? and I mean, I have an opinion. No, I have i have the answer. And he answers me. okay Yes, they were born again. You know what?
00:10:33
Speaker
Because remember, i see, I don't want to sign another teaching, though. yeah No, ah you know it it was is you know, the way he he spoke to me is so beautiful that you know he just gave me the scriptures. You know, when Jesus arose from the dead,
00:10:48
Speaker
from the grave. The Bible said every saint that it has died in the Old Testament until did Jesus, Jesus showed up, everyone was raised back.
00:10:59
Speaker
Yeah. They went, they yeah, they came back. So, and and and they believed the gospel. yeah They have seen Jesus. and the whim Because back then, nobody can go into the presence of God until Jesus died.
00:11:14
Speaker
So, because the Bible talks about two sides of hell. There's a good side and there's a... there's a There's an evil side too. So there's another they talk. So that's what was the answer. I said, yeah, it makes sense because everyone was raised back to life.
00:11:28
Speaker
And the Bible said they saw them in the street of Jerusalem. If you go to the book of John, you're going to see all of that. So that tells me they saw the Messiah. They believed the Messiah because they found that they were brought back because Jesus had to go and deliver them from the good side of hell. Can you imagine there's a good side of hell?
00:11:49
Speaker
You know, that's why we talk about Hades. yeah The scripture mentioned that. So well and i that was the answer. I was so blessed that it even though, you know what saying? you know I was so blessed. So I just give my own, tell my interaction of the Holy Spirit. So, yeah. I don't know. I think, you know, this is why I was saying this is my opinion. yeah Because, i yes, I agree with that. But I mean, before that, I think Abraham knew.
00:12:12
Speaker
I didn't believe God had shared with him because remember, he was looking for a city whose founder and builder was God. What was he talking about, right? And he also, it had God ever raised anyone from the dead when Abraham went to a sacrifice his son?
00:12:28
Speaker
Had he? Is there any record of God raising someone from the dead at that time? No, but Abraham knew that God was able to raise his son from the dead if he died. So how did he know that? You know, we don't know what he shared, but I believe Abraham had some revelation that God had shared with him about what was going to happen in the future. And that's why he had so much faith that, yes, God can raise his That's why he was on a mission to find that city because he knew the promises that God had in store for us. Amen. Amen. Wow. That's my opinion. That is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. No. You know, these are the things sometimes we thought, you know what I'm saying, that, you know, my mind is talking to me. No, it is the Holy Spirit. Yeah.
00:13:16
Speaker
It is the Holy Spirit. I think we need to learn how to recognize the ministry, you know, the simplicity of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. It's very simple. It's not difficult. and You have to be aware of for it. There it is an awareness in the realm of the Spirit about His ministry. So that was my my own personal...
00:13:37
Speaker
encounter the Holy Spirit when I asked the question. And i was I was so blessed. It blesses me. So so I said thank and i just said, thank you, Holy Spirit, for for telling me the truth. Because the Bible says He will guide you yeah into all truth.
00:13:54
Speaker
Whatever question that you have, just ask Him. You know, you you want to get married, ask him, should I marry that person or should I run away? He will speak to you. But sometimes if your emotion is involved in that relationship, you may not hear very well.
00:14:09
Speaker
All right. just be careful. And should i apply for that job? Yes. You get it. Ask the Holy Spirit. Should I buy that car or that vehicle? Yes. Should I buy that house? Yes. Everything. He wants to be involved in our daily life. and Because He was involved in the life of Christ, Jesus.
00:14:28
Speaker
yeah That's why Jesus was able to, you know, and no more no one was able to kill Him to destroy His life, but He fulfilled every prophecy that was spoken over Jesus in the His book. Jesus, had He had a book of life.
00:14:46
Speaker
You know, he fulfilled all the pages. I like that. That's good. Well, and Jesus said that he only did what he saw the Father yeah mean, did you ever think about that? That means the Holy Spirit had to be showing him everything, and he was completely obedient to do exactly what was shown to him. Amen, amen. That's, you know... Now, I know i know for the sake of time, what we're gonna do, ah I know I don't wanna rush. This is a very sensitive topic because we want you to have a a life of success. yeah That's the bottom line. That's what this this program, this ministry is all about. We want you to you know to know every detail, everything that God has for you. You know, sometimes people says, you know people always made ah this comment, Nobody knows, no one knows tomorrow.
00:15:35
Speaker
It is a lie from the pits of hell. The reason why i can have the audacity to say that because we have not really, you know, ah we have not really looked into, you know, the scriptures to see can anyone, okay, knows? Can anyone knows tomorrow? Yes.
00:15:59
Speaker
through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. he he always talk he The scripture always says, He will guide you into what every question. He has answered for every question.
00:16:09
Speaker
So what I'm gonna challenge you, maybe you are living a life, you know, you are struggling, struggling, struggling in your life. I'm gonna ask you, can I challenge you? Why don't you go back in your prayer closet, ask the Holy Spirit about what is going on around you. yeah What is the way out of this situation?
00:16:26
Speaker
amen What should I do? What can I do? Okay? And he will speak to you. Just listen to his voice. He's a master communicator. hey Yeah, he know how to talk to you.
00:16:39
Speaker
He made you. Yeah. He created you. He fashions you the way He wants to. He's your Father. He knows how to talk to you. But the question, ah can you make a time to listen to His voice? Yeah.
00:16:54
Speaker
And one of the primary way for the Holy Spirit to speak to anybody is through this book, the Bible. That's why you the more you spend time in this book, you know His voice.
00:17:07
Speaker
The more you spend time in the Scriptures, you know the voice of the Holy Spirit. And understand that there's still small voice that everybody want to hear. you know what I'm saying? But the more... i think before you get into that place, you have to know the Scriptures because because if you don't know the Scriptures, you can't even recognize that the Holy Spirit was talking to you anyway.
00:17:27
Speaker
Because the Scripture brings light. It brings you a clarity that when you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, you know the voice of the Holy Spirit, the voice the voice of the devil. Yeah.
00:17:37
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? so I'm going to encourage you, don't neglect your Bible. You know, get acquainted with your Bible. And
Personal Stories of Divine Guidance
00:17:44
Speaker
like I said, the Holy Spirit is the the author of the Bible. Ask Him a question. Maybe, you know, people you read, it that's why people you read a scripture, a chapter, you don't understand the scriptures. don't Don't panic. Don't worry.
00:17:59
Speaker
Just ask Him. So Holy Spirit, what do you mean by by this? yeah I want you know. Wow. You know, can I share? love this. Yeah. that I just wanted to share a quick example. Go ahead. So when I first got saved, I didn't know anything, right?
00:18:14
Speaker
So I started reading through the Bible and going to church. And I heard this, so many different opinions on the doctrine about, you know, was Jesus rich? Was he poor? Does he want us blessed? Does he want us poor? So I just asked the Holy Spirit. I was like, what's up?
00:18:28
Speaker
What's the truth? And the Holy Spirit told me to go to the parable of or to the story about the loaves and fishes. And I was like, what on earth does that have to do with the question I just asked you?
00:18:40
Speaker
But I went and read it. And you know, Jesus said, or the disciples said, should we go buy bread We couldn't buy bread for 5,000 people. You know, there's no way But obviously, if the disciples ask if that's, you know, what they're supposed to do, they had to have the money to feed that many people. yeah And that's a lot of money. I'm just saying, Jesus had to have enough money if the disciples thought that. hey Yeah, you know, there were no broke people, though. I know, don't you know, you need to reject that of your... You know, people, those who are against the gospel of wealth and riches, stuff like that. well you you i feel sorry for you. can Who in the Bible did God anoint and call that he didn't bless? Yeah, everybody everyone.
00:19:25
Speaker
Anyone that listened to his voice. yeah Yeah. Every one of them was blessed. yeah You know, and ah even God told Abraham, kings will come out of you.
00:19:37
Speaker
Kings are not beggars. Okay, kings are what? Are well-established people. People who have substance. its that's why That's what God told me. He said, I'm gonna bless you.
00:19:51
Speaker
yeah it's god who do It is God that who who has blessed Abraham. And we are the seed of Abraham. And I thank God that you know for is ah is a God of prosperity. Even the Bible says, God takes he takes pleasure in our prosperity.
00:20:09
Speaker
Yeah, God rejoiced over you when you succeed, when you do well financially. So it doesn't make sense. you There's no way for anybody to preach Jesus, the gospel of Jesus. Good news, not bad news.
00:20:23
Speaker
Poverty is not a good news. I don't know what country you come from, but you I think you're, you yeah, so I feel sorry for those who think that way. you know i'm saying? I think those ideas been birthed from hell.
00:20:35
Speaker
So you need to repent and just ask the Holy Spirit you know to teach you the right Yeah, the right thing, you know ah seriously. Because some of some ah some of them, you know they allow the devil to use them to destroy many lives.
00:20:49
Speaker
You know what i'm saying? Jesus, okay, I'm not gonna... That's not our focus. Yeah, it's different It's different topic. But what I'm telling you, yeah gee it is the Holy... No, if you look at it, it's not true, it's not a different topic, though, even though we said that, we both said that. If you look at it, it's the Holy Spirit is giving you what?
00:21:06
Speaker
Wisdom. It is, yeah. wisdom, yeah how to operate. see, you know, yeah the holy the Bible said, God said, I will teach you how to make profit.
00:21:18
Speaker
Wow! It's the Holy Spirit. So, folks, I know we can never overemphasize the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Now, maybe the following week, we're going to talk about, you know, the person.
00:21:32
Speaker
You know, what what is what the person of the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit has a feeling? Or does the Holy Spirit, you know, can the Holy Spirit get mad? Yeah, he has a feeling. He's like God himself.
00:21:45
Speaker
So there's a lot we're gonna we're gonna address next time.
