THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY GHOST

Tonight we are looking at a series the things that are most surely believed amongst us Luke, Chapter one, from verse one to verse three. And so we've been examining the things most surely believed. It's say, for as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed amongst us verse two. So let's chain the person on the on the on the laptop in this to speaking terms for some time. Is that even as they were delivered, even as they delivered them onto us with from the beginning where I witness is and ministers. Of the world verse three, is that it seemed good to me, also. Having had perfect understanding in all things from the very first, to write onto d in order most excellent your fellows. So I showed you that day. This is a transition between four generations, the apostles of Jesus that learned from him, who are the ministers of the world. They received from Christ. And then they communicated it to doctor Luke. And doctor Luke said, he has had perfect understanding, so he was communicating it to Theophilos. So I said, the way heritage is transferred is through instructions those who receive it. If they understand it, they don't communicate it to the next generation. And that's what Luke was doing here. And I told you in the Christian faith, there are things that are most surely believed. These are the things we cannot do without. And we've taken time to deal with these things, one after the other. The first thing we dealt with is the doctrine of God, and we looked at the biblical concept of the person of God and everything that his person and his operation entails. In fact, we summarize that when we looked at the mystery of the god Head. When we were done with that, greater to looking at the doctrine of Christ. And we did the part of the doctrine of Christ. Because the second part of that doctrine is intertwined with the doctrine of salvation. So in order not to repeat or over emphasize certain things, we decided to reserve it to deal with it when we are dealing with the doctrine of salvation. And when we looked at the doctrine of Christ, number one, we looked at his humanity, and then we looked at his deity, and then we looked at the hypostatic nature, that is, the coexistence between his human nature and his divine nature. When we were done doing that, we now went further to look at his ministry or his administrative responsibility, and then we considered full aspects of that from his offices. So we looked at Jesus as God, the Son, co equal with the Father and co equal with the Spirit eternally. And then we looked at Jesus as the Son of God. And we also look that Jesus as the son of Man. And then we looked at. Jesus as the Christ. And we said, for you to understand and appreciate his essence in his full sense, you. Have to blow him in these four offices. So we looked at that. We were supposed to look at his ministry, which entails the incarnation, the atonement, and the mediatorship responsibility. But we only touch the incarnation because the atonement and the mediatorship responsibility of Jesus, which is the cardinal aspect of his ministry, is also included in the doctrine of salvation. So when we are looking at the doctrine of salvation, we will deal with that in depth. So we stopped at the incarnation and then summarized the doctrine of Christ. So in dealing with the doctrine of Christ, we looked at his person, and in his person we saw his humanity and his deity. And then we looked as at. His offices, and in his offices we looked at. Him as God, the Son of God, son of Man, and Christ. And then we look at a part of his ministry, which is his incarnation, and we stop there. Tonight we are going to begin with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. We will revisit the doctrine of Christ when we are dealing with salvation. Hallelujah. And so we are going to look at the doctrine of the Holy Spirit tonight. And there are five major things whill consider in order to exhaust this subject. The first thing will consider is the pessing of the Holy Spirit, and then will consider the deity of the Holy Spirit. Then will consider the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Then will consider the symbols of the Holy Spirit. And finally well consider the names of the Holy Spirit. All of these gives us. Dimensions of revelations concerning that being called the Holy Spirit. We look at his person, his deity, his minis three the symbols that represents his manifestation and operasions, and then his names. So let's begin with the person of the Holy Spirit. It's important to understand that the Holy Spirit is a person. I'm going to try to read scriptures, because when you are teaching on the Holy Spirit, it's very easy to lose the service. The atmosphere becomes volatile. The last time I did this teaching, I broke it into three part and there was no one we were able to finish. But today I would teach it like a geologian phrase God. So we look at the the person of the Holy Ghosts, and I said, it's important to look at the Holy Ghosts as a person because there are many who think he's a false there are many who think he's a phenomenon. There are many who think he's just an experience. They don't know him as a person, and because they don't know him as a person, they cannot worship him correct they cannot relate with him correctly, and they cannot receive all that he has to offer. If you think the Holy Ghost is a wind, the God dimension of the Holy Ghost will not being your consciousness, and so you will not relate with him as God. And because you don't relate with him as God, they thinks of God that it brings to your ecosystem, you will not enjoy it. This is why it's important to see the Holy Spirit as a person. But of course, before you look at him as a person, you need to understand primarily that he is God. Praise God. And I'm going to deal with that exhaustively when I look at the deity of the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Ghost, like I shared with you, is the third person of the God Head. And what that means is that he is coequal with the Father and the Son. He is co eitana with the Father and the Son, and is coexistent with the Father and the Son. And you remember, when we're looking at the doctrine of the god Head, we said, the clearest explain the nation of that doctrine is derived from our understanding of nature, because that's what the Bible teaches. In Romance one verse twenty, he said, the secrets of God, even the deepest things about his power and his god Head, is manifested in nature. And we picked water as an illustration to explain this concept. And we said, water essentially is h two zero, two atoms of hydrogen one atom of oxygen. However, existentially, water is either liquid or solid or gas, because it's a divine principle. Anything God creates and anything that most exist will have two dimensions. The first dimension is the essence of that being, and the second dimension is the existential essence of that being. So water is a combination of two elements hydrogen and oxygen. Ratio of two is to one. But in existence you cannot interact with it in that elementary form. You either relate with it as liquid, you relate with it as solid, or you relate with it as gas. Now we said solid is not liquid and liquid is not gas. Steam is different from water, and water is different from ice block in their physical properties, that is their existential properties, but in their chemical properties, which is their essential properties, they are both. They are all the same in like manner. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit. However, both the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is one being and is God. So God is one manifesting in three peersins. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, so his co equal with the Father, just as eyes is equal with water. In every respect, and water is equal with steam in every respect. The Holy Ghost is equal with the Son in every respect. Jesus is not better and the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost is equal with the Further in every respect. The Further is not greater than the Holy Spirit. We also went further to say, just as ice did not exist before water, and water did not exist before steam, they all existed at the same time, but manifesting at different temperature. So also the Further is not older than the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not older than the sun. Are you following this? So coequality and eternality is the secret that makes them one or doing different manifestation. And then we went further to say, there will never be a time when water will exist and ice will not exist. There will never be a time when ice will exist and liquid will not exist. If you are looking at steam, change the temperature to turn to water. Change the temperatoire turn to ice. So everywhere there is steam, there is also water, there is also ice block So they coexist. One cannot exist apart from the order. In like manner, we said, the Holy Spirit, or we are saying the Holy Spirit is coexistent with the Song and coexistent with the Father. So in every respect, the Holy Spirit is God and is equal with the Father and the Son. Now having explained this, let's look at the Holy Ghost as a person. Because God is not a God is not water, God is not fire. God is a person. And I told you when I was dealing with the subject of God that there are five attributes that qualifies any being to be a peasant. Number one attribute, I said, for any being to be a peasant, it must have consciousness. A stone is not a person it doesn't have consciousness. So the first quality that makes a being a person is the quality of consciousness. The second quality that makes a being a peasin is that every person must have a mind or rationality. If you don't have a mind, you can't be a person. The thought quality that makes a being a person is that that being must have a will or autonomy. If you don't have a will, you can't be a person. The foot quality that makes a being a person is that every being that is a person must have emotion. If you don't have emotion, you are not a person. And then, finally, the fifth quality that makes a being a person is self identity and continuity. Every being that is a person must have identity. If you don't have self identity, you are not a person. Your consciousness is your perceptibility, that's how you are able to notings. And your consciousness is your faculty that makes it possible for you to interact with your environment. So every person have the capacity to perceive and to interact with the environment. Your mind is what gives you the ability to reason. That's why it's your rational component. Your will is what gives you the ability to make choices. Your emotion is what. Gives you the ability to appreciate reality, either through empathy or compassion, or love or joy or happiness. If you don't have the emotion, you cannot appreciate reality. And your self identity is what makes you recognize your worth. So every being that is a person possesses these five qualities. And when you look at the Holy Goes, the Holy Goos possess this these five qualities. So the first parameter that make us know that the Holy Goost is a person is that he possesses these five qualities. Number one, let's look at consciousness Romance chapter eight, verse six and first Corneans to ten. These two scriptures reveal to us that the Holy goos has consciousness. Can we project the scriptures the Spirit himself help us? Hepse what's happening with this? I want to follow this so that I won't go too far Romance eight, verse sixteen, not twenty six. And then first Cornians to ten. I really, it said the Spirit himself. This is old King James bear Red witness with our spirit that we are the songs of God. So you see that the being has consciousness, consciousness enough to tell us and to quit killing us, that we are God's children. So it is on the strength of his consciousness that they can tell us and bring us also to consciousness, that we are God's children. First Cornians to ten. You will see the activity of consciousness also going on in the Holy Spirit. He said God, God had revealed these things to us. Okay, start from verse nine so that it makes sense. But as it is written, I had not seen, nor ears heard, neither have entered into the heart of men the things with God had prepared for them that love him. Next verse. But God had revealed them onto us by his spirit. For the Spirit such at odd things, the deep things of God. So the things we are not conscious of the way God brings us into consciousness of those things is by the agency of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Ghost is not conscious, it can't bring you into consciousness. Have you seen a dead man working another dead man? You must be awake to wake somebody from sleep. If I tap you say wake up, wake up, is because I'm already awake. I can't be sleeping and waking you up. That would be a disease. It doesn't work that way. So the reason the Holy Goest brings us into consciousness that we are God's children, and brings us into consciousness of the things God has made available to us, is because himself possesses self consciousness. Number two, the Holy Gost has a will. First Corentians to eleven. You'll see that. First Corentians two eleven. He say, for what man know what the things of man save the spirit of man that is in him. Even so, the things of God know no man but the spirit of God. So you see that the Holy Goosest has a mind. He knows the things of God. He is able to perceive the things of God, understand the things of God, and interact with the things of God cognitively. So the Holy gos has what a mind. Have you seen that he has a consciousness and he also has a mind. If he doesn't have a mind, there's no way he can know. The Holy Goost is able to know because he possesses a mind. The Holy Goes also possesses a will. John sixteen thirteen. I have many things to tell you, he said, but you cannot receive it. How be it when the spirit of truth is come? Okay, how be it? When he the spirit of truth is come. He will guide you into all truths. And he shall not speak of himself, But whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you all things. Are you seeing that everything he's doing here is according to his will. He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak of himself, but the things that he has heard is what he will show you, and he will lead you to all truth. So he's doing everything on account of his will. There's a corpression going on between him and Christ to reveal the things of Christ to you. And because he accepts that agreement, he is following through with it. So he used his will to enter into that agreement, and on the strength of his will, he stays true with that agreement. So you see that the Holy Ghost is exercising his will power. And that's not all. The Holy goes also has emotion Efficients for thirty. And there are many of these scriptures. I'm just giving one because my message is very long. I don't want to dwell too much. They say, and grief not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you were sealed onto the day of redemption. If a man does not have emotion, can. You grieve him? So the Holy Ghost possesses emotion. That's why he can be grieved Romance fifteen thirty. I add another one quickly. And if you read your Bible, you find many emotions of the spirit. Quench not the spirit, grieve not the spirit. So many emotions. He said, Now I besit your brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit. So the Spirit possesses love for the love of the Spirit. So you see that this being has emotion. And then finally, this being possesses identity. John fourteen, sixteen and twenty six. He could be distinguished from the song, he could be distinguished from the Father. That means he has his own identity. The Holy Ghost is not the Father. He's not the song. He possesses the capacity of uniqueness, and that. Is what makes him a person. They say, And now we pray the Father, and they shall give you and not the Comforter, that he may abide with you forever, and not that comforter. He has his own unique identity, so he can be separated from the Song, although they are all in the god Head. In verse twenty six, see the way he puts it. But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, are you seeing distinctive mark the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. He has a unique identity. You cannot means him with any other person. You can mistake him. The identity is too unique and peculi to him. So because the Holy Goost possesses these five qualities, it becomes the first reason why we know that the Holy Goost is not just an experience. It's not a firse, it's not wind. He is a person because he passes every criteria of a person. He possesses consciousness, possesses a mind, possesses a will, possesses emotion, and he is possessed of specific identity. The second criteria or quality that make us know that the Holy Goost is a person is. That he performs personal functions. Wind cannot perform specific functions. You can use wind to achieve something, but wind on its own cannot autonomously perform a personal function to achieve an objective. But the Holygost does that. Number one, the Holy Ghost leads Matthew four vers one. The Bible said the Holy Goes led Jesus to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Number two, the Holy Ghost teaches the Holy Goost teach John fourteen twenty six that we just read he teaches first John two twenty and twenty seven. You have an function from the Holy Goes, and he teaches you all things. You don't need any man to teach you. That function teaches you autis so the Holy Gooest teaches. Number three, the Holy Goos speaks acts the team verse two. Separate onto me, Paul and Bannabas for the work that I have for them. We don't speak. Water does not speak. So if the Holy Girl speaks, then he's a person, because it takes being a person to be able to carry our personal function. Number four, the Holy Goes walks first Corentiers to eleven. The Bible revet to us that the spirit works, and there are many scriptures that corroborated the Holy goes work. First Corenteers to eleven. Project these scriptures. First, this is preambo. I have a long journey, he said, the spirit save the spirit of man. Even so the things of God know it no man, but the spirit go to next. I'm looking for here, he said, the Spirit such check the things of God, even the deep things of God. I think that's best ten. So the Holy Ghost walks. Are you saying that that's best ten? Right? It's such chet This is work. The Holy Ghost can such things? Does water such sos? Hey sach No. It takes a person to open the registers of the spirit and find even the very deep things of God. Are you following this number five? The Holy Goest testifies John fifteen twenty six. Only a person can be a testimony. I'm giving you a proof why the spirit is a person. The Bible calls him the spirit of truth that proceeded from the Father, and he shat testify of me. Do you go to the court and carry a cup of water, and said, this water will testify for me? Do you carry a dove to your low court and said this bed will testify for me? Do it? Or you come with the well wind and say this wind with testified. So you need to understand this. There are many churches today that when you come you see the symbol of a dove, and they say that the Holy Spirit. Is God the bird. So we are higher than God. Wow. And because of religiosity, we interact with these things piously. And no, I will show you what symbols represent. I'm not outrightly saying these symbols have no place, but I will show you what they mean. When the Bible referred to the dove, it's not talking about the Holy Ghost. He's talking about the motion of the Holy Spirit, the gentleness in his motion. He said the spirit descended like a dove. He didn't say the spirit is like a dove. So he was talking about the motion. If I'm moving first, you can say the guys sprang like like like a train. You're not saying I'm a train. You're talking about my speed. If I move majestically, you can say the man walk like a lion. You are not saying I'm like a lion. You are referring to my work. So it was the descent of the Holy gosts the Bible spoke about, not the Holy Spirit. The Bible did not liking the Holy Ghost to a dove, but for aon's the Holy girst has been represented as a bed. But okay, why does God honor and why does power move? Because God is relating to our faith, not our understanding. Are you following? Because when God sees that your understanding is not correct, we honor your faith. It's your faith that moves God. But it's important for you to understand correctly so that you can grow people in God. That's why we see emphasized understanding. Have you seen people came in statutes and praying to those statutes and get results. The word of God is out rightly against it. But these people who pray to statutes, they still get answers because God knows that it's the ignorance that is making them buying to those statutes. But He knows that their faith is to him. He's the one they're trying to reach, so he honors their faith and negets their ignorance. But if we grow, they have to migrate from there and know that God is not in the statue praise God. So the Holy Spirit testifies, and then the Holy goes convict. John sixteen eight said, when he comes, he will convict the world of seeing, of righteousness, and of judgment. He convicts. He knows what to put in your heart, to speak to your heart for you to feel convicted. This is why the Holy goes is not a phenomenon. He's a person. And finally the Holy goes praise and intercede Romance eight, verse twenty six. The Spirit prayed with groanings that cannot be attered. Well. Winds don't pray, water does not pray, Fire does not pray. If the Holy goes praise, then he is a person. So the second argument for the Spirit being a person are his personal attributes. The third argument for the Holy GIRs being a person. Is the fact that he's addressed in pronounced number one. The Bible calls him he John fourteen twenty six. When he the Spirit of Truth is come, you don't refer to fire as he. You don't refer to wear wind as he John fourteen seven to six. He was referred to as him. So you see that pronounce attributes used to qualify men is also used to qualify the Holy Spirit because he is a person. So these are three seem to biblical arguments that proves that the Holy Ghost is a person. Now this may sound simple, but this may be the reason why your relationship with God has not grown because all the why you feel the Holy Ghost is present when you are feeling something. So you have reduced the Holy ghosts for a phenomenon. So if you're in the service and you are feeling a movement on your head, you say beph Abella Bell. You'll start judging. You start chat because you are having a sensation. If you feel movement in your stomach, you sayle level. That's why your Christianity is likely emotional. But if you know he's a person, he may not be talking. He's did there. Your wife can sit with you for two hours. He's not talking, but she's there. So you can be in the market and say a precious Holy Spirit, and we answer from within you, my dear son, what do you want? Your Christianity will become very practical because you have a consciousness that a persionist with you, a pessionist walking with you. It will change your life forever. This is one of the reasons why the book Benny him wrote went across the world, good morning, Holy Spirit, because for the first time people do you talk to him? He just changed their consciousness that this you can You can have a chat with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Goost can sing to you. And I don't have time to start sharing personal experiences. It may become too exoteric. But you see, personal things are deep than doctrine. Sometimes you have personal experiences that you can't qualify in doctrines. So it's for you, so keep it, just keep it, And I tell you when you see people making remarkable impact on earth is because of the depth of interaction they have with the Holy Spirit. And you can have deep interaction with him except you know him as a person. You will start talking with him and have been a proper relationship with it. Some people don't even know the Holy Girls can be grieved, so when they do something wrong, they say, Kay, why did I do this thing? Okay, no problem, I'll do better next time. How about the person moving with you? Are you aware that is angry? They don't even know. And the only golds can be grieved on his compassion, we make him help them again. They never know, That's why they don't grow. But if it's a person, any time you are grieved, you have a sense it's on grief. Anytime you do something wrong, you'll be first or you will first of all be mindful of him, because you know that he has all the faculties of a being and of a peason, just as you are. The second dimension of his revelation is his deity. The holy Ghost is God, and I began explaining that already from the the principle of the god Head. However, there are three qualities that makes God God exclusively. Number one they are his essential qualities. Number two they are his moral qualities, and number. Three they are his offices. His essential qualities. Include number one his eitana. Number two his self existent. Number three, he is unchangeable. Number four he is omnipotent. Number five his omenly scient Number six he's omni present, and we say, if we may, his omni benevolent, he lost like none other person. And then it's more qualities include number one, he's righteous or absolutely truthful. Number two he is holy that means separate, incorruptible. Number three his love that means he has the power to give himself unconditionally. And number four, we said he's faithful. Those are his moral qualities, and then his offices. As God is creator, God is the only creator. Number two, he is a life giver. These are offices of God. Only God sits in those offices. There's no being on earth or in the visible or invincible realm that is creator. If you become creator, you have entered the office of God. There's no being both invisible or invisible creation that can give life. If you can arigidate life, it means you have become God. All of us, the life in us is derived. Only God is life source. The life God possesses is derived. So these two things, all these two offices are God's exclusive offices. If you started the Holy Spirit, you are going to see that he possesses all the essential qualities, all the moral qualities, and he. Also works in the offices of God. This is why he is not just divine but deity, and he can and should be worshiped. Let's look at scriptures. Number one, he is eterner Hebrews nine, verse fourteen. How much more should the blood of Christ. Who today eternal spirit, offer himself without spot to God pourt your conscience from dead work to serve the Living God. Are you following this? He is what ethaner. Only God is eitner. And I've taught you what these things mean. That means there has never been a time where God does not exist. He is before the beginning and is after the end. Are you following this? He is before, he will be after creation. That's what eternality means. Never been a time when he was not. And the Bible calls him the eternal Spirit. Let's look at maybe three or four other qualities. Because of time, he is only important. He can do what is impossible. In Look one thirty five, when a virgin was about to give Beth, only God can make that happen. And God said it in Genesis three fifteen he said, the seed of the woman shall cross the head of a serpent. So God is saying I will do something. In fact, Isaiah prophesied it. In Isaiah seven, verse fourteen, he said, God shall give us a sign that is the God sign a virgin shall give Beth. When God wanted to carry out that God fit, which is an operation within the context of his power, the God who made it happen was the Holy Spirit. Look one thirty five. How shall these things be seeing that I know not a man shall come upon you the power of the highest. So he's called the power of the Highest. And what is the power of the highest, omnipotent. So what God, what the Angel was saying, is that the omnipotent to one shall come upon. You and the child shall be formed on your inside. So that scripture reveals that the Holy Ghost possesses the power of the Highest, which is omnipotents number three. He is omniscient. He knows all things Romance. Fourteen twenty six and Romance John fourteen twenty six and John. Sixteen twelve and thirteen. Quickly, I'm showing you scriptures. That show him in manifestation. I have other scriptures that defines him in his especiality, but I'm sure you scriptures that refer to. Him in manifestation. So you will know that as the Holy Ghost, he possesses these qualities. But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I've said onto you. So he knows all things, and he can teach you all things that you need. John sixteen, twelve and thirteen. He goes a bit deeper. I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them. First thirteen. How be it when the Spirit of truth is come, he shall guide you into our truths. He knows our truths, and that is why First Corinthians two ten said he knows. The mind of God, even the deep things of God. The Holy goalst is possessed of that knowledge because he is omniscience, and the Holy Ghost is also omnipresent. Some one thirty nine, verse seven to ten. Some one thirty nine, verse seven to ten. These are arguments of the deity of the Holy Spirit. These are essential qualities that only God possesses. Reader, shall I go from Thy Spirit? That means where shall I go from Thy spirit? Or where shall I flee to from Thy presence? So it is referring to the Spirit of God as the presence of God. So everywhere God is present, he is present by his spirit. That is why he is so many present. And He gave us a few places that look unreachable. And say, if I as sent up into heaven, thou art there. If I make my bed in head, behold thou art there. The Holy God is everywhere. He's so many presents. He is called the presence of God. Where we like go from Thy Spirit, where we like go from Thy presence. So the Spirit is the presence. That's why God is spirit. He is surrounded by the Spirit. He is the atmosphere and the presence of God. And because God's presence is everywhere, the Spirit is omnipresent. So these are some essential attributes of God. And this is why the Bible calls him exclusively God without meansing word Acts five, Verse three, and four. See the way Peter puts it. When anana sold land, hit part of the money and brought some Peter looked at him and said, why had certain feel thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and to keep back part of the price? Who did he lie to the Holy Ghost? Go to verse four and see what Peter said? Why is it remained? Was he not dying on after it was sold? Was he not dying owned? Was he not in thine own power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men? But onto who invest? Three? He lied to the Holy Ghost? Invest four? Who did helight to God? So Peter directly called the Holy Ghost God. And the reason is because he is possessed of all the essential attributes of God. Now let's look at the moral attributes righteousness or truthfulness. John sixteen thirteen. The Holy Ghost still possesses the moral attributes of God. How be it when the Spirit of what truth is come. So this being is a being of righteousness. There is no lie or guile in him. That's why I told you. Any holy spirit that leads you to a God that is not righteous, that leads you to a God that is no holy that holy spirit is not the Holy Spirit of God. Because this holy Spirit, who is the third person of the God here, is called the Spirit of truth. He is perfectly righteous. Second moral attribute of the Holy Spirit is that he is the Spirit of holiness. That's why he's tied to his savil calld Holy Spirit. Romance won verse three and four concerning his son Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was which was made of the seed of David according to the. Flesh verse four. And declared to be the son of God by power with power according to the Spirit of what holiness. He's called the Spirit of holiness. So he does not just possess holiness. He is the spirit of holiness. He does not just possess truth. He is the spirit of truth. Are you seeing the difference with us? We receive righteousness, we receive holiness, but he didn't receive it. He is the spirit of truth. He is the spirit of holiness because that is his nature, is God moral attributes. And then finally love Romance fifteen thirty. We read that already the Bible referred to it as the love of the Spirit. So he is possessed of love in the very order of God, in the order of God. He possesses love. Now I besit, your brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit. The love of the Spirit. He is actually the spirit of love the way, his spirit of truth and spirit of holiness. So the Holy gours possesses the moral attributes of God. And then finally, he also operates in the office of God. Number one, He is life source. Life flows from him Romance aid verse two. Only God possesses and sources out life for the law of the spirit of life, that is in Christ Jesus. So he is the spirit of life. That means he is the source of life. And this is the office of God. Only God is the source of life, the law of the spirit of life, that is in Christ. Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. He is the life source. That's an office in deity. And then he is so creator Genesis one, verse one and two. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The word God here is yello him. And I told you yelo him is the plurality of oneness. So it is the plurality. That's why in Genesis one, verse twenty six, you hear God said, let us make man us. So the God is referring to Here is the god Head, not the Father. Is the combination of the three peasonts walking here. In verse two, we now saw how God created the world, he said, And the earth was without form and void. Darkness was upon the face of the deep. See the first person who started started the walk of creation. And the spirit moved upon the face of the deep, and God said, light be. So the spirit prove that over the waters the Father spoke and. The world animated it. So creation is a corporate expression of the activity of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. In fact, the Sami said concerning the spirit, he said, Thou renewed the face of the earth, so he is actively involved in Creator because he sits in the office of God. Praise God. Are you learning something? Look at some one or for verse thirty, some one of for verse thirty, I'm showing you the Holy Ghost operating in his office as God. He said, thou sender for thy spirit. They are created. So creation didn't happen except as the Holy Gooest went to work. And don't make the mistake. I've shown you already about divine administration when he said thou sender for thy Spirit. Is not like the Father is boss and is commanding the smaller goals. That's not it. This is divine office. This is divine administration in the community of the god Head. When God wanted to fulfill his purpose, there was a way things were carried out. There was an administrative operasion that was carried out so that creation and redemption can be possible. The Song is sent as the sacrifice, the Holy goos is sent as their nebula, and the Father remained on the throne as the representative. So it's divine administration when their purpose is accomplished. They are still one. Are you following It doesn't mean the Father is greater. I've already shown you co equality and all of that factor. Praise God. So it is that does centered for that spirit and what was created. The whole earth was created. So he sits in the office of creator because he possesses essential attributes, moral attributes, and he also sits in the office of creator and life giver. He is God. Are you following this? Please know this thing and know it with conviction, because to impact the quality of your Christianity. See, if you don't know a being in his full stature, you will not maximize your relationship with him. Have you not seen before that somebody just sat somewhere and he doesn't know who sat by the side. Yeah, give me big there, thank you, you're now torm You now discover is the governor of your state? You know what will happen. So where you're greet afresh the first greeting you didn't, great, Well, nobody will tell you as he a put to you before you go to a place, and you just sat down and you are taking everybody aware on Hello, Hello, great like like a learned man, like an elite when they are not introducing, they said, please, let's honor the most. Important person here. The executive governor is set and then the persons you are looking for the person annunt that. Those days o what we used to watch football. A young lady sat on a seat in the stadium, and then one of the most famous basketballer came for the match and sat by the young lady and she was just and gross with the match, and gross when she had turned. And so, oh, my God, if the Holy Ghost is revet to you, you know what you would do? Oh my God, are you the one I've been toiling around? You woke me up at night to pray. I say, I'm tired. How are you the one? It will affect your work with God. And that's why when we teach like this, we pray that God we reveal it to your heart. This is theology. Is the one that will happen to your heart. That is life and God. We reveal him to your heart in the name of Jesus. So the Holy Ghost is God. The finer argument for his deity is the fact that he is always revealed in partnership with the order two persons of the god Head. Second Corinthians thirteen fourteen. When the Bible revealed to us how God sustains us, he put the Holy goes there, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Spirit. This is the summary of belief of the believers sustenance. Jesus provides the grace so that you can be saved. The Father provides the love, which is what qualified you when you were not qualified. The Holy Goost is the one who provides the fellowship. That means you can know God and you can have the relationship with God except us by the Spirit of God. So he is always revealed in partnership with God inact partnership. Look at the empowerment of the church. First, Cornians twelve, verse three to four. When the church was gifted werefore, I give you to understand that no man speaking but the Spirit of God called Jesus a cost and no man can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Ghost. Next verse we read off to verse six. Now they are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit. Next verse, they are differences in administration, but the same Lord. Next verse. There are diversities of oppression, but the same God that worketh all and in all. So everywhere the operation of God is in place, the Holy Ghost is playing equal part as the Son and the Father is playing is because he is the Holy Spirit, because he is God. They will not tell you they are diversities of gift, but by Abraham. And then they said the Son and the further, it can't walk like that. This is talking about God operation and the Holy goals is fully represented and captured. There are you saying this? He is always revealed like that. Okay, let me add one more. He carries out responsibilities that only God can carry out God responsibilities. Let me add the fifth argument Number one. The scriptures were given by the Holy Spirit second Peter one twenty and twenty one. Second TIMOLTI three sixteen. See what the Bible said, No in distrust, no prophecy of the scriptures of any private interpretation. Verse twenty one. He said, for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the spirits of God. Second TIMOLTI. Three sixteen He said, every scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine for reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness. So how did he come. You see that Peter told us it was by the Holy Spirit. Poe is not telling us that Holy Spirit is God. So this work are God walks, They are divine works, and the Holy Ghost is carrying out these works in the capacity of God. If in our baptism baptize them in the name of who the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it is a baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son. And Paul baptize them in the name of the Father Son. And Elijah baptize them in the name of the Father Son and anjel Gebrael. No, this is a God thing, and so only God can come into that league. And so it's where the Father stands, that the Son stands, and that's where the Holy Ghost stand. This is why Peter said in Acts five, verse four, three and four that the Holy Ghost is God. Now have been explained and establish that is a person and that is God. Let's look at the ministries of the Holy Spirit. This is where the Holy goost profits you. Now, the ministry of the Holy Spirit caught across several dimensions. Number one the Holy Girst had the ministry to Jesus Christ when he was operating as man, because when he was operating as man, he submitted his authority of deity to the Father. So he didn't know all things. He couldn't do all things. He needed the Holy ghosts to enable him. So there was the ministry of the Holy Ghost to Jesus. And that's why you find many places the Holy Ghost was the one enabling him. When he was tempted of the devil, he returned in the power of the Spirit. The great works that he did. He said, it's the Father that is in me that doing the work. That was Jesus, referring to the Holy Ghost as the Father. So the Holy Ghost had a ministry to Jesus. The Holy Ghost also has a ministry to nature. You see in nature is sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit. But I don't have time to go into that. My focus tonight is the ministry of the Holy goos to man and to the believer. And in dealing with this ministry, there are five major dimensions of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. And if you understand it, trust me, your life will change. It will move from glory to glory. So we are not considering the ministry of the Holy Goos to nature. We are not considering the ministry of the Holy Gooes to Jesus. We are not considering the ministry of the Holy Ghost to the universe. We are just focusing on man. And when we say man, we first of all we look at his ministry to the own believer. Then we'll look at his ministry to the believer. At some point we may interject some of the things it did with Jesus. As man to help us understand it better. But just know that the ministry of the Holy girls who want to consider here is his ministry to man. The first one is to the own believer, that means every man on the face of the earth. And then the last four is for you who is now saved. Because he has a ministry to the unbeliever, and he also has a ministry to the believer. So the ministry of the Holy Ghost to man, and first to the. Unbeliever is called the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit. We thought the Holy Spirit. No body will repent Without the Holy Ghost, no body will be convicted of seeing. Listen, people don't repent because you preach a powerful message, you are joking. If the Holy Ghost does not work on their heart where you are don't preaching. They'll say, wow, that's intelligent. I'm impressed. I'm impressed. Well done, well done. Then we won't tap you at the back to encourage you when you preach. The reason people are convicted is because the Holy Ghost walks on their heart. This is why for those of us who are trusting God to win the world, we must compreht with the holy ghosts. We must not build our confidence in our natural abilities. Many preachers think the reason they are powerful, it's because they are of their auditorial dexterity. And you'll find see what alreatory is good. Queen's English is good. Upgrade yourself as much as possible, but never make the mistake of beauty or confidence. There nobody will listen to you because you talk away. Nobody will listen to you and be convicted because you are you are a skelle speaker. All of that is secondary. The primary power that convicts the source of men is the power of the Holy Spirit. There, raising men repent after they are convicted and turn to the Lord is because of the Holy Ghost. This is why Jesus told his disciples, disciples, don't go out because you are my disciples. Before you start running everywhere and say, didn't you see me in Galily? I come within the day that the people worked, He will be joking. You know, there is a generation where you're just not picture with it. General vers here. You put it on your Facebook, you're becoming a national prophet. You are joking. If you like this, you'll validate you in the stadium where fifty thousand people are. It will not add anything to you. Nothing. I'm telling you. I've been here for a while. Oh no, Men, as much as you can. It's a beautiful thing to do in the kingdom. Men should be honored, especially those who labor in the world and doctrine. But don't viuild your confidence on politics human politics. There are many people who have been in charge for fifteen years, twenty years. They are mounted to nothing, General Vasia, I love them. They became favorites. They are mounted to nothing. I told you people before, if this thing is about your closeness to a man, the wives of men of God or their children will be the most annointed. But many times you will discover that is the degree to which you plunge into God that determines what comes out of your life. God can use men to impart you. There's no denying it. But this is not politics. This is not politics. In this busy world where nobody has time, you think somebody will post for five minutes to listen to. You because you are a good speaker. You are joking. What convicts the heart of men is the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why we trust him. This is why we engage him. We pray, we interact with him before we go out to preach, because it's the one who works. In the heart of men. We talk to their minds. He talks to their heart, and it is what happened to the hearts of men that changes them. So the ministry of the Holy Ghost to man is fest of all the convicting ministry. And they are two dimensions to conviction. Number one is to reprove John sixteen, verse eight. To reprove he said, and when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness of judgment. He's the one that tells the phonicator that what you have done is evil, and if you don't repent, you will be judged. So when you are pretty and somebody is weeping, something is appling to his heart. Beyond what you were saying. The one who reproves is going to walk. At two thirty seven, after Peter was done preaching the Bible, said they were pricked in their hearts and said, men and brethren, what shall we do? What do you think happened that pricking? Is the Holy Ghost walking? What read what Peter said? If the Holy Ghost doesn't improod on that thing, it's just history narrated. This is what they prophets Us said that in the last. Day, you report this really topen off lesh, and your sons and daughters will professor. After saying all of that, he went for that to say the same Jesus that you're crucified. Is today Lord and trist or God? What are you saying? How can people hear thirty and three thousand men were pricked in the heart. You need to know that it was not about what he said. It was about the fire in the opera room. So before he went out, he said, when the deal of Pentacles was fully come, they said they were together in one accord, and they had the sound as of a rushing, mighty wing, and suddenly Lacoa the governor showed off, and it didn't come quiet. He came first of ford with a shout, and when he appeared, clothing tongues. Because the fire is to review to you what was start happening. It was that lege they went out with, and so they were talking. A furnace was going forward, a furnace burning the hearts of them, regardless of who they were. And after that the next protocol, which is repentance, what shall we do to be safe? It didn't matter age, it didn't matter occupation, it didn't matter tribe. Over eighteen tribes that were there regardless or were converted. And they continued like that the next time, at four vers four, the Bible say, five thousand was added to the children. You say, well, those are market people, market women. He wasn't talking to important people. Act six, verse seven. A great company of the priests became the phariseeaes, the sad disease, the scribes, the ones who we never agree, because you must dot all your eyes and cross all your teas. Suddenly, why they were checking the geological correctness. Something started happening here, and they forgot about theology and lifted up their hands. When we follow the Master because of the power of the Holy Spirit. See, when you are preaching, you'll be shocked. Sometimes you make mistakes. I was preaching somewhere and I was talking about this away life. I didn't know when I migrated from the way and started calling bios. I preached all too thinking I was talking the way a way when they now should be the message. I was saying bios bios. I said, why what happened to my brain? Why if I said this is a I put down the message before I said that, thousands were already repenting and now discovered. It's good to be theologically correct, But the power that convinces is not theology. The power that convicts is the spirit. That's why today many people pride themselves in knowledge everything that have been preached before they come and say, you were deceived, this was wrong, this was wrong, or God, since you started preaching this your gospel, how many people have been saved? You are telling people who treat God national revivor that they were wrong because salvation is soteria and so so and because they didn't explain so teria where how many people have been saved with what you're saying, because what you're saying or from your brain, I'm not saying correct. Theology is not right. But we don't judge the potential of your ministry just by the intellectual aspect. Thank God for the intellectual aspect and all of us you have it. But if you're pride and course on the intellectual aspect, you don't know the work of God. This is why a man can come and say, in the name of Jesus went out. It doesn't matter the demo we go. Another person can come and say, by the forces of Exusiah, by the mystery of Yeshure Hamashia, come out. The demo will slap you. So we have a generation puff talk with knowledge every message of theirs. You see they are correcting all the teachers. This thing you said is wrong because of this. Look at this scripture and when you hear it is arrogance is pride is competition is preterned. So the character of Christ is not even there. I know there are times when the spirit can move you judge wentally. It happens to me once in a while. I went to a nation. Somewhere, and I judge the prophets but is not a lifestyle. I rather teach people Christ for them to grow mini'st It is not about saying who is right or wrong or what is right or wrong. At the level of a teacher, we can't do it. But even if we do, it. Was be in love. It must be seizing with grace, so that those who hear us will be a divide. The reason we hear and fight originated because the witness of the spirity is not there. And that's why after all our argument, there's no Reviver. But there's a man called Jonathan Edwards. He stood somewhere and read the message. He didn't preach it, he read it, and when he read it, a whole city went on fire with Reviver, a whole city by reading a message. A man was called Chas Finney. He show up my goodness. When he was dumb preaching, people wept for months per Palos shut down. He didn't tell them to stop. The fire that came out of his soul was too intense for the culture to remain the way it was. We don't know the Holy Ghost. We are full of geological knowledge, and he has tossed our minds. And that's why we argue and all we are doing is to have views online. And when secondaries goes, students who are not my trying God come to like we think we are making impact. Ah day ah. Ah ah. Sit down, sit down. Let's nothing wrong with correcting. There's nothing wrong in establishing the right doctrine. But the truth was be spoken in love. The truth must be seasoned with grace. Truth must be communicated with meekness and the spirit of brokenness. It must be communicated from the standpoint of the bodyings of the Spirit. And when we get it right, the proof that we are right is that a generation will be convicted. Every time there was revive, a man came with the rod of judgment, but you could see the finger of God. But you see, the Holy Ghos is the one who convicts. The Holy Ghost is the one who provokes repentance from the heart of men. And so please, don't build your ministry on your intellectual capacity. Don't build your ministry on your auditorial power. Build your ministry and your intimacy with the Holy Spirit, because if it doesn't touch the heart of men, at best, they will become your fans. They will clap and be excited at your intelligence. But the criminal remain a criminal. They're drunk, remainy drunk. The first prophet, too many first prophets, the proud, that person remainy proud, that possible. The liar will remain a liar and nothing. We're changing their lives. It convicts, and its conviction is reproof and repentance. In fact, men will not see their depravity except as the Holy Goal shows them. Ask yourself now, if you want to go and preach to a longmosque, or I want to pray to Mark Zuckerbeg, which message when you preadge? Of course, you know God will bless you. It's not inside. You know that one. You know, Ah, you need to break over our orders. You know that one is not there. You know already. So some of us here, nineteen nine percent of our messages already is off. The only thing you can tell him is Jesus is the son of God. He loves you, and he died for your things. Believe in him and have eternal life. That's the weak message. You will be pretty. But what we make that message powerful is that beyond what you have said, the Holy Ghost we enter his heart. We enterre his heart, and so most of the things we do is because we don't trust the Holy Ghost, and we don't trust him because we don't know him. It's easy when you meet the literates to start talking some deep things, when you meet young people, to start talking some emotional things, when you meet poor people, to start talking about some promises. When you meet a man who is established and does not need God, you will need the Holy Ghost. And that's why it's important for you to know his place now, so that you give him pre eminence. That's the first ministry of the Holy Spirit. Now. The second, third, fourth, and fifth ministry of the Holy Ghost is to the believer, give me fifteen more minutes so that we can close by eight ten, eighth ten, Let me rush through it. The second ministry of the Holy Goost, which is first to the believer, is the transformation and ministry. After you have been convicted and after you have repented, you will need to transform and become like Christ, otherwise you will fall again. So when the Holy Goost convicts you and causes you to repent, he doesn't stop. He now begins. The job of transformation and transformation has five layers. The first layer of transformation is awakening to the life of God. When a man repents, the Holy Ghost will now quick killing him to become aware that he possesses and not that life you know. Officials five fourteen said, awake, awake, doubt that sleepers, Christ we give delight. So there is a light we must come into to know that we now have the life of God. First corne Us to fourteen. See the way the Bible puts it. There's an not the economy of life entirely that is in God. But if the Holy Ghost does not quicken you, you will never know it. Your will depend on the life that atyp produces, which is in your blood, and you will be weak. He said, the natural a man receive that not the things of the spirit of God. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. So what the Holy goost we do is that he will quick kill you from the frequency of the natural a man, so that you become aware of the life of God that is in you. Romance, Chapter six, from beverse four to verse five. See the way the Bible puts it. He said, we are buried with him in baptism into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father it's the Holy Ghost that brought Christ into the new realm of life. It saying you also should walk in the newness of life. There are many people who are born again, but they are not walking in the power of eternal life. They are not walking in the realm of the resurrected life, the life that. Knows no defeat. The first thing the Holy Goes we do is to give you the consciousness that you are no longer in the realm of death, that you have been brought into the realm of victory. This is why you will notice suddenly that there is a form of asshur rance you now having God. You may not be able to explain it, but somehow you know you can feel. Somehow you know you can't die of sickness, somehow you know you can even cannot happen to you, because all of those things are possibility in the new realms of life. But it is the ministry of the Holy Goes that brings you there. So as you begin to engage the Holy Goes, you will discover that you become more conscious of the life of God, and that life brings victory, that life brings immortality, that life brings you into the brend of God. That's the first thing the Holy Ghost we do for you. He will upgrade you from the realm of death to the realm of life, the same way he quicking Jesus from the dead and brought him back to the realm of the resurrected life. When he does that, then he will enter the second ministry, which is unveiling to you spiritual realities. The Holy Gos will now make you become aware that all you have is not car All you have is not the money in your bank. You have much more. Look at efficients chapter one from verse fourteen, or go to verse seventeen. I don't have time. He said that the God this is for praying for the church in episods, that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give on to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. That the eyes next verse the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of your calling, what is the riches of the glory, of the inheritance of the sins in light, And what is the exceeding greatness of its power? That he wrote towards us even is mighty power when he resurrected Jesus from the dead. So the second thing. The Holy Goes we do for you is to begin to show you the benefits that are in God. Because listen, every one of us was wood. This is why Second Peter, Chapter one, verse three and four said according as his divine power has given on to you all things that pertend to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that called you to glory and virtue, and is said in verse four, go to vest fourth that's spiritual. Whereby are giving on to us exceeding precious promises that by this you may become protectors of the divine nature. Have let's scared the corruption that is in the world through loss, So God would all of us. For some of you, God, the Holy Gooses will show you that you are a prophet to the nation, and it begins to give you visions of you preaching in steadier across the world. For some of you, God, we give you revelation how that you prosper and become very great. For some of you, God, we give you revelation of how you become shorted after in your generation. All of those things the Holy Ghost does is to woo you. In fact, when you are a young believer, you will notice that anything you do we walk. Have you been there before the wi you give your heart to Christ. You're went somewhere they say somebody was death. You say, open the truths. You know what I'm saying, way to there's healing in my life. There's hill. He's opening you up that you have something in God that you're not aware of. You go somewhere, they say they don't have food. You say, don't worry before tomorrow, God we do something. As you are reaching your house. They'll call you. They say, man of God, God, somebody dogs came here. I'm blessed us. If I talk, he walks this thing I carry something to though. Okay, if that is the case, let's check more. You now start first thing. You now start pray. What he's doing is to draw you into God. That's how transformation begins. One of my friends is looking at me now laughing. Those days when I baptize him in the Holy Goos, he will sit down and he will say, train has not fallen for one week. Let it rain today and then we start raining. I asked him two weeks ago and said, die of rain maker power do you still having They say, okay, my brother, my brother, my brother, the nore but we go, we go bring them back. See, the Holy go show you this is your reality. By the time you now accept that you have it, he will not bring you to the school of process how you need to mature to walk in it. But the first thing he will do is that he will all pull your eyes to see that those things are there. That's the second protocol of transformation. The third protocol of transformation is that he will now begin to renew your mind because although you are seeing dimensions of God, but you are still locked into the culture of your father. So you find some believers. They still believe in New Young Festival. They still believe that where we comes from, men don't have women. They still believe that where we comes from, you know, those funny cultures that demons taught our ancestors. They are still working with it. So the Holy goes. After showing you your possibilities in God, he will post it and then begin to renew you for you to start thinking the Bible. This is why the Bible said we all with open faces second Corentius three eighteen beholding us in the class the Glory of the Lord, it said, we are chained into that image, from glory to glory by who, by the spirit of the Lord. So the Holy goes brings you into the reader of transformation. In Romance to a Verst two, he said, be not conformed to this world, but be it transformed by the renewing of your mind. So you will discover that. Maybe the first three months you gave your heart to Christ, you were seeing visuals. You were preaching in crusades, people were healed, you were prophecying. Things were happening. You pray for the sip they are here. You just sat down favor and was coming to you. You now became convinced that you have something in God. After four years you won't see those things again. The Holy Girls begin to show you scripture. When you pray and you are looking for anything. He will send the Bible first to you. He will send the Bible because he needs you to begin to think Bible first, so that your mind becomes the mind of Christ. All of that is a protocol of transformation. When he's done renewing your mind, then he will enterre your body. He will begin to sanctify you. That's when you will now discover the first week I knew Jesus there was no rule for the sick. They are you? Why is it now that the only gost is troubling me that I must not lie. You taste the fire before you can manifest the glory? Why is it that now if I'm keeping mandage with somebody, the only gost is so concerned? You are going out to preach. Before night it was all about so willing. Now you want to go out. The only goes? Tell you? How about John? When will you call him and make peace? And you are wondering, why is this so important? What are you doing with matter? The last time she came you people were you sat in a compromising position. What what what will you do about it? You stand up? You want to preach? You praying tonges. Now he coble. Your heart is did down. You discover your soul cannot assent. You say, what's happening? I used to preach with fire? Hello, the people think that you are on fire. No, you are trying to jack yourself off. Nothing is jacking like something. You shook yourself? Nothing shook. He's telling you now that he's more interested in your transformation than your manifestation. And so until you stop that fundication, until you stop that lining, until you stop that drunkenness, you will not see anything, not because your activity is what qualifies you for power. But if you have power with those garbage, you will lose your soul. And what does it profit a man if he gainst the whole world and suffers the loss of his soul. So the Holy Goals will expose you to the fullness and pudge you so that your services can be accepted onto God. Mala Chara chapter three. From these three and two, he said, he shall appear and sit as a refiner, even as a purifier of silver, and it shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them as God and silver that they may offer onto the Lord, and. Offering onto righteousness. If the Holy Goals has not brought you to the funness, it means you have not joined it in transformation. I know my journeys. Was the time when the Holy girls showed me that I was an apostle to the nations Ha, and I was bored. I said, we will shake this world katia he lukumakata Manta. In fact, we will go for videos those days is family deliverance. That's all you had. You will dress well to go for family deliverance. The whole family will be waiting for you by seven pm. Then you will come in like an apostle. When you come, they agree to you you. You'll start checking the rema. Then the two intercesss that came with you will be praying mahada laka. You will be talking. Ask why you were stand and you start talking about the power of God. Somebody will cream and for that. Then moment you see that sign your tongues we change he Ma lakora man turkeykata. God sent me here because the deliverance of this family is tonight. For whipping me l for the night joy comment in the morning, I want light afflictions, but for a moment they work for us, and next sad you will not go to the father. Are you feeling something here? Yes, that is called Mexica pa quota. Check that power. You will do family deliverers like you're pretty in the carth fifty thousand after wah. If you wake up and you don't read the Bible, the only goes we keep quiet on you. You not start wanting prace, the Holy Spirit. He will be quiet, you will check yourself no way. He wants you to know God now, and then you will discover that sometimes in the whole year, or he's giving you a versus of scripture versus of scripture, and you will insist that you keep thirty and chewing. Those are the errors where your appetite wi open, because you need to beyond the realities that he show you be transformed. And then when you start leading you now discovered, he will start judging everything about your life, from your tongue to your eyes, to your thoughts, to your spending. Everything he will expose it to the funnies. And if you you and allow him put you, then you know that your transformation is about to come to the final stage. If it begins to pudge you, then it brings you to the last phase of transformation, which is mortification. And what it does in modification is that those appetites will remove them from you. It's like a surgical operation. I told you there was a time that I love star lucka beer my core paras when it's cheered. We used to call it much worries standard your carry it and ah, my God, your evil you start sweating like the bottom mar quits Locados. There's nothing that can quit your taste until you go down with that bottom. Now, if you give me I can't drink, it is better. So I'm not talking discipline, I'm talking mortification. Something surgery has taken place. There was a time when we were custodians of the record of football. They used to call me Skaiwide because Tommy Smith, which was one of the best analysts on ESPN, when he finished analyz in the match, he said, this is Tommy Smith worldwide. So in the studio where we watched war because we Tody as of record, then now said, since you can't be worldwide, you were skywide. And I bought the record of Skai Wie because the world we did it in that hoy is that if somebody else to push you record, they will dethrow you. I dethroned a Liverpool farm. They used to call him fifty. He was the sky Wide. I showed up when we were talking about matches. We go to nineteen eighty five and begin to show you the record of the tournament first and they had to head record and you know those days there was no internet, so we go to cafe and print and read. I used to have records in my house. We read them for the day of March. So when you are coming, you are coming with record. And when when when when the match is about to start, you start quoting some dates. And the teams that have so there came. They stood up in the hall and from today they have the thrown fifty mike you and now the new Skywai and I maintained that record. I stop watching football. You couldn't take it. But when when we came to Mortification, the only girls chok that appetite and clude it. I go to the football match, I sat down, I was dozing off. I lost interest. I go I'm sleeping. They win, they don't win. It didn't matter anymore. And I checked what is going on Mortification. He's thirteening the appetite. He's killing it. Romance, Chapter eight, verse thirteen. The Bible told us that as the final ministry of transformation, they said and Romance A thirteen. If we leave after the flesh, we shall die. But if we, through the spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh, then we shall be. So it's by the spirit the appetize die see don't struggle with through some regulation. They don't work. You already know here that the power that keeps you insane is God. They love the spirit of death, so they love the spirit of life. Is what we deliver you. And the way that law works is that it kills the appetite. It is when the Holy Goes kills the appetite that they cannot begin to grow you in the ways of light. And so you start migrating towards transfiguration. But you see, you must festival bewood so that you are crucified. That's the ministry of the cross, where the Holy Gooes cuse in order to make a life. Because if it doesn't carry you through the value of modification, all your manifestations will have their hast for the devil. Because when you. Manifest, it will be pride, and the devil will have their havest. You will corrupt the sacred operasions of God. So the Holy Goes will insist that transformation will not end until you carry your cross and follow him. It's mortification. How many of you have experienced these things that I'm sharing. You have experienced where you became more aware of the life of God. You became aware of your callingue you discovered you are special because of what God did show you. They are times right. For six months, every night you haveing visions, sometimes you having encounters. Angels will come to your room. What did I do to deserving generic visitation? You now tell your friends and angel came yesterday. They'll say, really, all of that is a wooing process. That's why it's been long. You saw one. Now you need to lend the world of God and grow. You're still waiting for the angels. They will come. They will wait for you to go now because they came to invite you. Now you have to go. I was in the spirit on the Lost Day. I was in the eye God past months and I was in the spirit of the Loss Day. And as I torned, I had the sound and the momentic tone. He was in the heavens. They began to see come to woo you so that you can go to journey with them. But it will take mortification for that to happen. The second ministry of the Holygos is the ministry of transformation. I have four minutes as I'm ending by eight eight ten, right or eight fifteen eighten, I have four minutes. So we have to stop as a body. When you are there, when you are there, when you are there, when you, when you are there, when you when you when, when you are, when you are the last three ministries, it's number one or number three, the ministry of helps helps. He said, we know not what to pray for as we ought to. He said, but the spirit helpet our infirmities with grownings that cannot be altered. In John sixteen thirteen, he said, I have many things to tell you, but you can't receive it. How be it when the spirit of truth is come? And who is the spirit of truth John fourteen sixteen. He is the allss Paracletos, He's the helper. And that word help has seven synonyms. Number one is comforter. That's why sometimes everybody neglects you, but you don't feel it, because the comfort they are supposed to bring. To you, the Holy Goost replaces it. See, this is why a believer becomes like Mount Zion that cannot be moved. They gangdop against you, they cut off from you and think you we going to depression. We don't go into. Depression, even in part the island of that will remain in the spirit. There is a soccer. He ventilates your soul so that nothing can break you. When a Christian doesn't know the Holy Ghost, he will suffer depression. Did you know really what is or said? In this world? We have to do leiser. It's a be of good cheer fucome the world. Sometimes people call you to sympathize with you. We see the warfare you are going through. You don't even feel it. Because every vacuum that should have brought loneliness, every vacuum that should have brought here, the helper field it up. This is why you need the Holy Ghost. Otherwise the vicissitude of life is too numerous. You will crash, Your way will be up and down. But the part of the usman the Bible said this as a shiny light. It shines brighter and brighter. Sir, what we preacher is not an act acts those who know me. Nothing breaks me. I'm like Mount Zion that cannot be moved. There are many things I don't pray about because so long as I'm talking to the Holy Ghost ventilates my spirit. So the things that you would break me, he confaspated, He is my body in Pierah that's the ministry of the helper. He costs you from inside in a way that you even you cannot understand. Many things come against you that should break you, but you have the helper, you have the comforter, and then he's also your counselor. That's the meaning of helper. When you come to a place where your pedigree cannot qualify you, then you hear whisperss echoes of eternity is that when you're in the wrong way, you're hearing voice behind you telling you this is the way to go. Those are echoes. It's available to those who carry the spirit. That's why the Bible said that light is the true light, the light at every man. There is an illumination that comes from our inside job. Say, as I was in the days of my youth, when the secrets of God was upon my Tobacaco, he said, by light I walk through darkness. We are not strandard. We know what to do. That's a precision that the only gold brings you into not because you're smart, not because youre experienced, but because the step of the just man is all that by the Lord, that's our step. It's not giving to man that work here to what is that? But I said spirit in man, the inspiration of the Almighty. Get that him understanding. We know more than our teachers, not because of what we're here, but because and then Shane spirit dwells and our instide. And what does he do? He crist Abba father Abba Father, a father. This is why I cannot heir, Sir, I know what you do. The Bible spoke about Jesus that even him knew, he knew what to do. People look at you that think you'll be confused precision, even the ones you do without thinking are correct because you are manipulated. It's your counselor. Is that when they call you to speak, don't let deterpt what you will say. Go there, open your mouth and we feel it. You have a counselor. This is why you need to know. The passing is the one that whispers to you in the midst of confusion. You can be confused. And so when you pray, don't pray Oh Lord, I don't want to be confused. No, that's not how to pray. Oh Father, Thank you because I have a countselo sign Father, because I have one that gives me precision. Thank you Father. I have directions by the Holy Ghost. I have directions. He's your couns hello as somebody who advises me. His advice never fails. He never fails. When you are there, when you were there, when you were there, when you were. There, when you were there, when. You were there, when you were there. You know what. He's also your strengthener. Sometimes you feel like giving up, but at the nick of time when you should pray, he now rises up on your inside. Ah. When God stands inside you say, you may not understand. Maybe you have not stood in places where you don't qualify. I've been there many times. I've been there many times. The first time I was invited to preach in the Redemption can suddenly I thought discovered that my revelation is not enough. What's happening. I've read this Bible very well. I know what I'm preaching. I've seen everything. See, there are places, and we go to the atmosphere we choke you. They went because of the testimony of God. That is there. Your humanity will rise up. I went to the bathroom. They thought I went to with myself. Holy Gods help me market there Barosa and was watching. What will I preach here? Lord, let me not make any mistake. He let me Afterai. Why he's too top. He's too top. I felt him too. Tom What when I came out of that bathroom, I came like a child. Oh you will see botness that cannot be bought. You will save bortness, my turkey Surah. When you are talking, you are talking as if you wrote the Bible. They are. That's the due of the spirit. That's where men like past too. Concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the law, but as a man who is found trustworthy, I speak on this matter. How can you talk like that except the ancient of this is whispering from your spirit. It's your strength now, and it's not just your strengthener. He's also your advocate. See, that's why don't you forget politics. Forget politics. I sat on my own in my house. They caught me and said, you have a letter from the Office of the President of the Arts c CG. I said, did I do something wrong? He said, forgive me? If I what should I do? They said, don't worry. That's a crusade. We want you to be guest speaker. Are you joking? Who who spoke to them? About me. I have no body on to speak to me for me. There, I have no body. I don't qualify to go there, go savant. The patriarch flew out the word to be need to sit down for me to come and preach. Good connection can make it happen. I cannot bread for his grandsons. I don't have the pedigree to bread for his grandson. Let them know his songs, to even see his grandsons, it's a privilege for them to impart me. And all of a sudden God went to the pinnacle and said, come and preach. And God, someone sat down. I was listening. There are things you can do for yourself. That's why you have an advocate. See when you are going for that that interview, call on your advocate. When you are in that crisis, call on your advocate. For that codcase, call on your advocate. See men, faith, the Bible said, war onto him that puts his trust in the hammor flesh avtlantis, the big Why trust the most have betrayed me? Bless this were shaved with all my heart have been betrayed. And if it was in their powers, they would have destroyed me. But God said, no, messive prefays over, judge. There's one that speaks on your behalf to your generations, the advocate. And that is not all. He's also your intercessor, because there are many times you don't know what to pray for. But the Spirit himself make it intercession. And they said him that knowed the mind of the Spirit, he's the one that maketh in that such for you. And if it needs to such the deep things of God, he will such it on your account. Men don't know the Holy Ghost. That's why we are pure helpless. Do you know what Jesus meant when he said, I will not leave you comfortless the world? This has a fun sin's of fannels. I won't leave you in this world. That's offense. I will send the comforter and it will be your strengthener. It will be your helper. He will be your intercessor. He will be your advocate. He will be your strengthener, and it will be your standby when everything fails. It will be there. Do you know that the day you will leave this world, everything you know will feel. The only hope you have for eternity is that the same spirit that list of Jesus from the dead wells in you. He's the one that will activate you to come into your inheritance and ethality. The Holy Ghost, he's the most important entity on earth. He's the most important thing that has happened to you. Lift your hands and bless us there, Bless his name, Bless his name. That's why speaking his head, the grass of our love, cheers of crimes, the law of God and the fellowship. When you, when you, when you, when you work. When you want, you work, when you work, when you when you are there, when you work, when you were, when you were, when you are there, when you were, when you want. When you work, idea. Idae mounts of time. Well, let me pray for you. Anything that hinderts you from knowing the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus, I command them removed from your life. If the Holy Ghost beautifies your life, even your enemies can't hate you. And if any man choose to fight you, he will self distract because he will collide with a face that they can't understand. I decree and declare the full weight of the ministry of the Holy Ghost. Let it find the expression in your life. Ah ah. Ah ah, thank you Father. I decline over your life. Everything that is removing beauty from your life. They comme on that judgment tonight, everything constituting a reproach in your life. I command them to be lifted of you tonight by the power of the Holy Ghost. Arise and shy manifest your glory in the name of Jesus. Thank you Father, Thank you Father, Thank you Lord. Most of you. We have strange encounters this week because God, we shift you to another level of existence. Away, shift you to another level of glory. In the precious name of Jesus Christ. We have declared keep the Lord the big hand glory to God. You may be seated, so we have to stop here. However, when less I come, I will not continue because it will be a body. I won't continue. But there are two more ministries or the Holy Ghost. Write it down, go and study. The fourth ministry is the ministry of empowerment, and there are four dimensions of empowerment. Number one, the Holy Ghost is the one that proves all your claims about God. It makes you a witness. Everything you claim about God is the Holy Ghost that proves it. And that's why I ask one. It's Jesus said, your witness onto me number two. The Holy Ghost is the one that prospers you in kingdom advancement. If it's not there, anything you do in the kingdom we fail. Isaiah Tad the two verse fifteen, they say, when the spirit is pulled upon us from on high, the wilderness shall become a fruitful field, and the fruital fuld shall become a forest. In Acts two, verse one to four, when the Holy goos came upon them, they became mighty soul winners. The thought form of empowerment is that the Holy Goosest causes you to prevail against contrary forces. Look four fourteen. He returned in the power of the spirit, Matthew four fourteen and fifteen the land of Zabulu, the land of laughterly by the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentile. The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light. So the empowerment of the Holy Goost is what makes you defied the operations of darkness. And the fourth empowerment of the Holy Goost is that he makes you live a profitable life. When the Holy Goost is empowering you, everything you do prospers. He says, sees now a man that feared the Lord and delighted greatly in this commandment. His siek shall be mighty upon the earth, he said, the generation of the op right shall be blessed. Wealth and riches are be in his house, and pleasures forevermore some one one, two, one to four. But how does he do that is by the outpouring of the Holy goos. When this spirit is pulled upon us from one high, the wiederness becomes the fruit for field, and the fruitful field becomes a forest. That's the empowerment ministry of the Holy Ghost. It makes you a witness. He prosperts you in kingdom advancement. He causes you to prevail against the devil. Nothing the devil throws against you, we succeed. And then he causes you to live a profitable life. Then you have the final ministry, which is the revelational ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number one. He brings you illumination. The Holy Ghost is the one that makes you know the things of God. Look twenty for thirty one John sixteen thirteen efficients one seventeen to twenty one. Go and read it. You see it the eyes of your understanding being a lighting that you may know the things that are given to you of God. World Number two on that revelational ministry is that it causes you to access your inheritance. You have a lot of inheritance in God, but you can't access it except as the street of God goes to walk. You still find that in efficients one seventeen to twenty one, the hope of your calling, the exceeding riches of the same in light, and the exceeding great power that God wrote throws us towards Christ when he raised him from the dead. And then finally, the revelational ministry of the Holy Goes upgrades the quality of your life. It was the Holy Goes that showed me that I'm made joy of many generations. It's the Holy Goes that showed me that I'm a priest and a prince. It was the Holy Goes that showed me that I'm a blessing to my generation. That's why no goody can talk me down. I've gone to many places before were they try to break my confidence and talk me down. But the moment they are talking, the Holy Goes talks to me from inside. You are choosing generation. You are a royal priest too. You are God's special man. God fought to showcase his excellency. And as you keep hearing those things, the quality of your life keeping crazy. You will never catch me dress carelessly. I'm too conscious of my royality. Never catch me I appear like somebody who is not good. No, not to me. You will never cutch me talk carelessly. When I talk, I know I'm changing people's lives. It's the Holy Ghost that taught me. I came from ben Weested for instance, most youths in benvested are looking for government to give them job. And it's what circumstance called them that they have said. I'm not talking down on Benwi. There are many great people from Benwey, but I'm telling you seventy percent of benwe people are civil servants. And I'm still not saying there's anything wrong with civil service. But I'm saying if you are a civil servant and they don't pay you salary, if God does not tell you that you are bigger than salary, You're be in trouble. So I come from an environment where people, government and circumstances has thrust threated people. And in Benu and many doma man the dumbas have never been governor. They force it on us that we are second classitizens of the state. But from that level of obscurity and intimidation, I rose as a voice to my generation because there's someone talking to me on the inside. You are not the second classitism. There's someone talking to me on the inside that you are bigger than salary. You cannot be defeated. And as I kept hearing that team, my life kept upgrading. And now, by the message of God, I stand before kings. I stand on platforms that people dream of standing because the Holy Goos did something to me. He upgraded my life. He will upgrade your life in the name of Jesus Christ. So these are the five ministries of the Holy Spirit. And this is why you cannot take the Holy Goes for granted. If you were blessed by this message, you just listen to and you wish to make Jesus your Lord and personal savior, kindly repeats the prior after me. Dear Heavenly Father, I believe in your son Jesus Christ, and that he died for my sins. He was raised from the dead for my justification. I therefore confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I am born again. Thank you Father and Jesus' name. Amen.
