Стислий зміст
Це було оновлене зібрання англійською мовою для молодшого покоління церкви. Проповідник почав із думки: байдуже, якою мовою ми думаємо чи бачимо сни, ми - одна Божа родина, яку Господь не випадково зібрав разом в Америці, щоб ділитися Його Словом. Звідси проповідь перейшла до Послання до Римлян 12:1-2 і заклику віддати себе як живу жертву, святу й до вподоби Богові.
Спираючись на образ старозавітного жертовника та Ісусові докори фарисеям у Матвія 23, проповідник пояснив: саме жертовник освячує дар, а не дар - жертовник. Жива жертва важка тим, що постійно намагається зіскочити з вівтаря. Справжнє віддання означає віддати Богові не лише свою волю, а й думки та почуття, молитися 'нехай буде воля Твоя' і дозволити Духові оновити наш розум, щоб ми пізнали Його добру й досконалу волю.
Другий проповідник підсилив цю думку: власними силами ми не здатні ні жити по-християнськи, ні бути благословенням для інших. Ми мусимо звільнити себе від гріха, померти для себе, щоб у нас жив Христос, і наповнитися Святим Духом. Завершилося служіння закликом до покаяння й молитви - перестати ховати свій гріх, чесно прийти до Бога і просити, щоб Він наповнив наші порожні посудини Своєю силою.
Головні думки
- Ми - одна родина у Христі, якою б мовою не говорили, не думали й не бачили снів.
- Віддай своє тіло як живу жертву, святу й приємну Богові (Римлян 12:1-2).
- Дар освячується жертовником, тож святими нас робить віддання, а не сама офіра.
- Жива жертва раз у раз зіскакує з вівтаря; повне віддання - це віддавати Богові волю, думки й почуття щодня, а не лише в неділю.
- Оновлюй свій розум - і пізнаєш добру й досконалу Божу волю для свого життя.
- Дух дає кожному віруючому особливий дар; знайти Божу волю важливіше за будь-яку посаду чи звання.
- Своїми силами нам не впоратися: треба звільнитися від гріха й наповнитися Святим Духом.
Роздум
Бог просить не мертву, а живу жертву - усього тебе, покладеного на Його жертовник день за днем. Складність у тому, що жива жертва раз у раз сходить з вівтаря, забираючи назад свою волю, думки й почуття. Сьогодні зважся залишитися там і молися не 'моя воля', а 'нехай буде воля Твоя'. Дозволь жертовнику освятити тебе, а Духові оновити твій розум, і ти почуєш Його голос та підеш тим покликанням, яке Він тобі приготував.
Біда живої жертви в тому, що вона завжди може зіскочити з жертовника.
Не дар освячує жертовник, а жертовник освячує дар.
Ми співаємо 'віддаю Тобі все' - але часто лише одну годину в неділю.

touching our hearts thank you Lord hallelujah hallelujah praise be to your name praise be to your holy name our father in the name of Jesus hallelujah amen good evening it is all it's nice to see all of our American speaking people here tonight you know um they called me he goes hey you know of course as um we as a church decided to rekindle this American Service for people who speak English who are kids who speak English for us to get together strictly in English to talk to them the world about the word of God and to have Fellowship together and when he came when they called me I was like well how can I introduce this how can I make this a little bit more lively and you know what um this is to all the kids and all the ones if you a question to you what language do you dream in interesting fact you maybe just don't remember what language do you dream in okay you know when's the last time you had a dream do you remember you know you know what it is the next one what language do you think in let me help you if you dream if you dream in English and you um think in English what does it make you Maybe it makes you Ukrainian speaks English all right but what about the other one what if you're thinking Ukrainian what if you drink what if you're dreaming Ukraine what does that make you plaving you know what it's not about the you know it's not about a culture it is about you know what we all are one family some of us speaking English more than others some of us speak Ukrainian Russian doesn't matter but God placed us all together here in America for some reason in the American culture not in Africa not in Asia but here and she gave us the opportunity to you know what to share the word of God not just in Ukrainian or Russian but also in English and it's maybe not more for us but maybe for those who dream in English those who think in English and maybe God's speaking to you like he spoke to Samuel when he came to the temple right he said Samuel well he had to know what God who was talking to him and that takes you know what yes the responsibility of a parent a pastor somebody to teach you to guide you to show you what God is telling you young people maybe God has given you a dream maybe God has given you a vision maybe God is telling you something don't be afraid that it's in English or don't be afraid if it's in Ukraine or Russia it doesn't matter as long as you hear the voice of God and you know what as today's service I would like to share kind of a few thoughts that God had put on my heart so I've been praying as Nick asked me hey Paul can you share something and I'm like no I'm kind of rusty after you kind of know that it's been a year or two we had a little um accident a year ago so it's still I'm still recovering you know I get emotional we're in the hospital for two months with my daughter and it wasn't the easiest Time Of Our Lives you know what I would never only because of faith in Jesus I could stand here today you know and that's it it's it's we all go through trials we all go through pains and like we teach for some reason it is a path that we have to take and sometimes it's the only path and when we have hope in him like Vera our missionary said you know what we are his children he is our God no matter what happens in life good bad ugly he's still our father and when we realize that God and all of his wisdom and I don't think even our minds could comprehend sometimes when bad things happen in our life she allows it for a purpose she she knows what it's going to be best for you even when we think well God how can this happen yes the devil might do it you know yes we might be tempted but all of us he allowed it and his ultimate wisdom 8.7 billion people in the world with a free choice and his will still comes through without hindering the will of each people so I was kind of wondering what can I speak today about and again usually a good speaker knows his audience this is the first time we're trying this so you know if we do it right it's all it's all us if we do it wrong you could put a suggestion box and we'll review it later but to get into the word of God if you have your Bibles I'm going to ask the operators sorry I didn't give you Romans 12 verses one through two and today's message is you know what being or living being the Living Sacrifice of God if you have your Bibles Romans chapter 12 verses one and two I besieged you Brothers I have an American um King James version that might be a little bit different but that's okay I besieged you brother by the mercy of God that you present your bodies as a Living Sacrifice holy except acceptable to God which is your reasonable service or sacrifice and do not be conformed to the world but be transformed and the renewal of your mind that you might prove what is good acceptable and the perfect will of God it's a lot of stuff in here when Pastor Paul writes us he says you know what he wants you and I to give our life as a Living Sacrifice on the altar to God as we all know in the Old Testament you know when they bring a sacrifice what would they do with the sacrifice they first had to kill it and they would put it on the altar but we as new Believers got to say no on what you as a living sacrifice to be placed on his altar what what's the problem with the Living Sacrifice sometimes it could jump off the altar can it it's living and here and we'll get into a little bit deeper what it talks about another passage that I want to look at and it was interesting I heard this um subject on it Matthew 23 verse 19. Matthew 23 and you know what um it's uh the the chapter of the woes when Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees if you read it my goodness do not be in a category of those people because he taught he talks harshly about him in one passage and if we read it it says Matthew um yes 19 23 19. you fools in Belize he was talking to the Pharisees what is greater the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift let's pause here for a second what they would do is like they would oh I swear by the sacrifice they made it more important than the Altar and Jesus is saying here a what is greater the gift or the altar and he is telling him you've made a crucial mistake you're relying you're swearing on the opposite and he's saying listen look what is greater the altar or the gift and he's trying to bring an example what sanctifies the gift the altar we when we put ourselves on the cross when we lay ourselves as a Living Sacrifice on top of the altar the altar sanctifies us makes us holy be able to be that Living Sacrifice now going back to the same chapter when it says you know what present your bodies as a Living Sacrifice what does it mean to you okay let me ask you this is a trick question but I'm going to ask what is a body made out of when God created human beings can somebody help me I was pastors I want somebody else what is the bodies made out of three three parts can somebody name them help me out right but in wrong order um can somebody help me so Spirit I'm sorry I have to look at the Spirit soul and body and somebody made fun of me because you know the fleshly people start with the fleshly and the spiritual story uh spiritual but guys remember in the Bible God created the body first Spirit soul and then body when God when Jesus is talking about this passage he says body what part of the body is you and I you know I think here he talks about you know what the soul piece well what is the soul I think I am and I feel and when he's saying here put your body as a Living Sacrifice he says not what you think not what you want what you not your will when we pray the heavenly father when we pray the Lord uh when we pray the Lord's Prayer what do we say the first words we say father Hallowed Be what your name my will be done no your will be done when God is saying be put your body unless you know what I want your will meaning not what you want but what I want from you second of all he says not what I think not what you think it is what the holy spirit gives you and you know what the last one is what you feel and I don't want to I don't want to feel I don't feel like going to church today well that's you know you can't rely on your feelings you rely with the Holy Spirit nudges you and he's gonna say go people need you you need people will you grow together as Pastor Nikolai said today as a church we support we encourage one another but the only way to do it it is if you're a Living Sacrifice and the thing is sometimes we don't understand what that means it's okay Living Sacrifice what do I do and the only way you'll be able to be the Living Sacrifice and then we continue reading it and what it says of course that to be a reasonable service what kind of services can we provide also it says do not be comforted to come forward it to the world and the renewal of your mind that you would know what is good and acceptable perfect will of God he's saying here is you want to know the true will of God lay you down you lay your body down as a Living Sacrifice the renewal of the Mind sanctification we talked about it that on the altar the gift is being Sanctified when we are Sanctified what is being renewed it is our mind our mind is being renewed Sanctified by when we allow the Holy Spirit God to work on us when we do this then all of a sudden when it's not my will when it's not my feelings but it's not what I want you know what you find out what is the will of God and when you find out the will of God then you have a lot less problems sometimes we're like man um I was listening to a preacher and he says I was in a church he was pastoring the church for a couple years he goes man we went from a problem to a problem to a problem until we realized this passage you know what maybe it's not our will is when we put ourselves as a Living Sacrifice God it's not me it's not what I want it's not my feelings it's not what I want but what do you want from me and then he will open up his will his purpose for you and I what he has prepared for us um we all know you know the fivefold Ministries in the church correct anybody could help me out what's the first one Apostles what's the next one prophets then bastards teachers what else one more evangelist but I think we get the order wrong but that's okay we got five of them well let me ask you this in which five categories technically that it belongs to the church correct in which category do you find yourself with do you know the will of God to be able to walk in that Ministry or let's open up another passage um Corinthians chapter 12 Verses 4 through 11. Corinthians First Corinthians chapter 12 4 3 11. and now there are diverse diversities of gifts but the Same Spirit continue and there are difference of administration but the same Lord and they are diversities of uh you know let me read my version that was a hard one um and there are varies of service but the same Lord verse six and then they are verities of activities but the same God who empowers them and all and everyone to each is given the manifestation of the spirit for the common good for those for one is given through the spirit of utterness of wisdom into another utterance of knowledge and according to the Same Spirit to another one Faith by The Same Spirit to another one gift of the healing by the one Spirit 2001 works of Miracles two the other one prophecies to another one ability to distinguish spirits and true under various kinds of tongues and utter interpretations of tongues all these are empowered by one and the Same Spirit who will Pro apportions to each individual as he Wills you know what God gives a unique Spirit a spiritual gift or anointing to each individual person young people have you made that decision such God every day I will be that Living Sacrifice to understand what is your will for my life is you know you might be a good speaker and somebody invites you to be a preacher but God says no that's not what I want from you I want you to be let's say a janitor for the time being it's not about a position it is about finding what God's will for your life for my life is and the only way to be able to do this is you know what when we fully dedicate when we fully give a hundred percent on the on the altar of Our Lives to to God meaning Living Sacrifice God all of this and I give it to you and the funny thing is sometimes we have this song that we sing I give it all away to you but only on Sunday for one hour and then Monday happens we live our own lives and we understand you know why don't we have the fullness of what God has prepared for us why don't we live according to the Abundant Life that God has prepared for us well maybe we're that Living Sacrifice that jumps off the altar way too often and we don't realize what God says give me all of it you know there's I'm going to be coming to a conclusion and there's a um a um a story a a wealthy man comes to a market and finds a ruby and he wants to buy it and he's like okay well how much how much is it he's like all of it and what he means what do I mean all of it he goes all your money he goes okay all of your money I'll give you that and he goes if that's all you have no I have a family oh will it cost your family as well what else do you have do you want my kids as well yes I want your kids as well where am I going to sleep oh you have a house it'll cost you your house what do you want me to sleep in my RV you have an RV as well that'll cost you that too and at the end he goes what is left he goes me and I want all of that as well that is what God is asking from each and every one of us he gave us himself and in return He says you know what give me your all and a lot of times we don't know what that is and is it easy okay how can I be a Living Sacrifice when we always heard a sacrifice of something dead you put in on the altar it burns everybody's gone no but he wants us to be that Living Sacrifice day in day out God I give you all when we get up in the morning God not my will but your will who do you want me to talk to what do you want me to do today is it to go to school if you're a young person it might be go to school God when I'm in school what do I want to do do am I going to talk like the other kids talk I'm going to listen to the music like the other kids talk to and I'm going to associate with the world when the world says to not be part of it are we going to say God I'm going to be that Living Sacrifice meaning I will reject everything that this world has to offer and say it's only you and when we are in connection with him then and only then he will open up his will for us in our lives sometimes we pray God show me your will he gave us the instruction be the Living Sacrifice if you want to know the will of God be lay your life down on the altar be renewed by your thinking and when you renew it by your thinking then God will open up what is good his perfect will for you and for me and our lives when we understand this principle when we understand is it an easy one and you know it's humanly possible and with our minds we will not be able to do it we have to ask Holy Spirit Jesus you said it we will do it but it'll cost us oh and sometimes we when we try to do something or maybe in our ministry in our walk whatever God has given us and we one step forward and three step backwards well maybe you have to realize it's God what do you want from me where am I missing the point where am I not where do you want me to be and when we say God enough is enough I give you all and when we come to this then our minds get to change and we'll hear his voice and we'll hear his will and that is a perfect place you and I could be we're going to be praying in a couple minutes um a few few years back when I was still uh doing youth ministry and I'm every year we would go to camp but you know what a lot of times you know young people you don't nobody probably know this but I would spend many many days in prayer and fasting to make sure this would go successful and you know what you guys would not be there you know a lot of people weren't there but I would watch them when they're sitting when they're worshiping God when they are talking to one another when they're fellowship with one another and you feel like you know you're exactly in the will of God that is the best feeling you will know in the world and it doesn't happen often but you feel like this is it this is what God has put me here and you know without any doubt it is the best feeling it is the best place to be in when you know and you walk in the will of God I encourage each one of us to reevaluate re-examine our lives and say God where do you want me where am I jumping off the altar where have I not dedicated myself to you and when we put our bodies as a living sacrifices our time our money our finances our whole life God here use me he will show you his will can we say Amen let us stand we're going to pray heavenly father as we come before you Lord we thank you first of all for this message to know the Lord to know your will but to know your will we have to become that Living Sacrifice that goes on the Altar and when we go on the altar by your power by the Holy Spirit we are renewed our minds are changed to know what is your perfect will what is your perfect will for our lives and lives in general Lord I ask you that you would make this a priority in our lives that we would understand what it takes from us to not just look at what we want what I want but Lord to give that away give ourselves our body unto the altar of your sacrifice Lord to be the Living Sacrifice Lord I ask you that you would help us teach us show us by Your Word by understanding when we spend time with you when we reject ourselves you will teach us you will show us your perfect will for our lives for our church for our families for everyone that we come and talk in contact Lord I ask you that you would have blister service bless every person that is here let it be for your glory in Jesus name we pray amen amen God bless you foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I don't know what awaits me tomorrow I don't know [Music] Jesus [Music] prize will be glorified [Music] [Music] how many people on the Earth [Music] today [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Angel Jesus [Music] I will praise [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] I will pray [Music] thank you praise be to our lord your brothers and sisters it is beautiful that everyone's here gathered together like brother Paul mentioned that we rekindling their time when we can worship in English especially for youth for our children for our next generation so can I have everyone's attention everyone's attention today as best as we can as you notice there may be a little bit of some accent we try to speak your guy's language so that way this is your service we are all guests here but we are here to support each other and to grow in the Lord so if you are from Sunday school if you are from youth you know pull out your notepads take notes put some bullets this is your time it's very important we are here to hear the word of God it's very very important therefore I would like to ask for everyone's attention you know when I was going here my Matthew was telling me I said Dad yesterday we went to this one service today in the morning we went to another service why do we have to go to another one here at night and I are a little challenged to explain it but saying you know what Sunday is for the Lord so he did for the Lord in the morning and now we're going to do this at night maybe you're thinking the same way but that's why we do that we're here to worship God there's many different things that we can give him praise for so I would like to share a short word of God with you brother uh before me brother Paul he brought up a very interesting and very important topic that we need to be that Living Sacrifice and live for the Lord to fulfill his will for our life not our will not our plans not what we want but what God has for us you know lately I've been I shared some of this with you already doing a missionary service how it is important for us to be filled with the Holy Spirit when we go out and preach to those people but for some reason my heart keeps coming back to this topic being filled with the Holy Spirit you know when I look around in my life when I look at you know I think to myself and I review my life and I think Lord how many times it was actually you in my life when it was your presence when it was your Holy Spirit doing certain things because it is so easy for the things to look like it's a holy spirit but maybe it could be emotions maybe it could be something else you know one time I was thinking you know would I pray the same way if somebody else was not praying loud in the microphone would I leave the service and say you know what the Holy Spirit did touch me or maybe it was just a loud microphone I question that or maybe I think it's you know how the Holy Spirit works but it's maybe was just a great worship and it was just great singing but I really want for every one of us is to have this discernment is to have this true experience being filled with the Holy Spirit why because when you like I said the reason why I caught my attention because when I was reading the book of Acts and we always when we try to to compare the church what the church leads to be in should be we usually go to that first church how God was moving how God was doing all these different Miracles so they are at this template they're this example for us and you see that everything that was down there it was the move of the Holy Spirit you know I already read this passage for you before but I would like to read this again it's from the book of Acts chapter 9 verse 15. when this word was said but the Lord said to him go for he is a chosen vassal of mine to Bear my name before Gentiles Kings and the children of Israel this word is being spoken about Saul and God says this person that you're going to visit this person is chosen by me to do what to Bear my name before Gentiles Kings and children of Israel and he calls salt that was just converted to Christ that came to this close relationship with him he says he is my wrestle because if I were to ask let me ask you those folks from Sunday school let me ask you this if I say can you bring me some water the next question you're going to think I need something I need a bottle I need a glass to bring their water in so that's the purpose of the vassal is to carry something is to have some is to be able to hold something and Bible was speaking this this particular passage you were saying about Soul the God himself saying listen this person is my wrestle you might excuse yourself it says listen that was spoken to Paul that's not related to me but we clearly see let's open up the word of God it's going to be a first Thessalonians chapter 4 verse three and four we know this passage very well and you can follow me on the screen for this is the will of God your sanctification that you should abstain from sexual immorality that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor so now this is doesn't talk about Soul it talks about every single one of us it says we are the vassal of God and it Apostle Paul tells to the people in the Thessalonians and say listen Your Vessel should not be filled with the things that are listed there because we could be carrying something as a vessel but there can be bad things they can be filled with bad things Bible say in God's house there's vassals for honor and dishonor things that honor God and dishonor God so if we are thinking Lord I want to be filled with the holy spirit because that's where the magic takes place that's where this this those beautiful things that we are looking for only if we are being filled with the Holy Spirit the Bible tells us it says listen possess your own vessels in sanctification and honor so the lesson number one for you and me today is that what not to be filled with is this the things that are listed here but the things maybe we could be looking on in the internet with the things that maybe the passions that are inside that are that pushing us to do certain things Bible says you need to sanctify yourself brother Paul senses that we mentioned that we are living sacrifices what happens with sacrifices they need to be burned down they need to die those sacrifices and that's what it is to take place in your in my life we need to be dead to those things we need to remove those things in our life by the grace of Jesus Christ you know in Timothy um we're not going to read on the screen but I'm going to mention to you and you know this very well Timothy says in second Timothy verse chapter 3 verse 5 Apostle Paul to a young preacher to a young servant of God he tells them the following words it says there's people that having a form of godliness but denying its power have nothing to do with such people he warns him and says listen there is going to be some people that instead of having God's power in them they have nothing they are missing that power of God but how do those people appear they says they would only look like do it only have a form they will only have a shape like they are the vessel of God they only look on the outside that they are God's people that they are chosen ones but when you go inside of them they're amazing the content they are missing the power of God and he tells Timothy stay away from those people have nothing to do with those people they are very dangerous ones so there's a lesson for you and me there if you could be having this surface we could be having this facade we could having this power the looks everything is great Everything Is Beautiful but the question is what is inside of us and only you and God knows what's inside your heart my heart all of our heart the Bible says listen you need to be filled with the power of God in other words he's telling Timothy listen I want you to associate yourself with people that have power of God in them they don't look like my people but they actually have my power but with all others stay away from them you know we know that Apostle Paul in Corinthians we know this passage very well we're not going to read but I'm just going to remind us in First Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16 and 17 it says do you not know that you are the temple of God and the spirit of God dwells in you and then he continues what we already talked about earlier if anyone defiles the temple of God God will destroy him for the temple of God is Holy which Temple you are keep it in mind it's not a question which Temple you are it's a statement it's a statement it says you are the temple of God and if you are the temple of God the Holy Spirit needs to live in your heart the power of God needs to be in your life automatically it's a statement it points the finger it says you Ruta Yuliana you Pastor Nicholas you brought the Paul you brought the vasili you brought the Nick you are the temple of God therefore the god Spirit lives in you dwells in you it's there at all times why this is so important brothers and sisters because if you don't have this Holy Spirit if the Holy Spirit does not live in US if we just look like we are the vassal of God but inside of us we do not have this power we are nothing we are nothing and because how are you going to fight temptation how are you going to resist the devil how are you going to stand against the evil one if you have no God's power inside of you and the reason you know it's not something that you just take it in and put it in there that means Christ that lives in your life he is our power that's where it comes from look what it says over here in the increa in Corinthians chapter second Corinthians chapter 4 verse 7. here's what it says very interesting passage there and it says but we have this treasure in Earth Earthen vessels that is the Excellence of the power maybe of God not of us it says you and me we have this in our vessels in our Earthly vessels in those temporary vessels we have this treasure and what's this treasure it is the power of God but that power is not because you're so strong because you are so good it says because that power is God that lives in US but look where Okay so we're talking about power here but where that power comes from what is the the source of that it continues in verse 10 and it says always caring about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus that the life of Jesus Also may be manifested in your body so the power of of God that it is in US it comes from Jesus Christ but because he says in you and me we are caring Jesus Christ and the first says that we are carrying his death and because we are carrying his death we also carrying his life brother Paul it's amazing topic that he brought up we want life we want this beautiful life with Christ but the word of God is calling us you have to put yourself on this altar do you die to yourself do you die to your old nature because that's the only way you're gonna to live for Christ is when your nature old nature dies when you sacrifice those things that are old in your life and only then the life of God can live in you look what it says in verse 13. in verse 13 it says and since we have the same Spirit of Faith according to what is written believe and therefore I spoke we also believe and therefore speak in verse 14 knowing that he who raised down to the Lord Jesus will also raise up with Jesus and will present us with you present us with you it says the Holy Spirit he's the one who raised Jesus from the dead will also raise you but that happens only if we carry the death of Jesus in our life when we crucify our old self when we no longer live to ourselves and only then the life of Jesus Christ can work in us only then the power of God can manifest itself you know we also know this passage that is written in Ephesians it says do not be drunk with wine and which is dissipation but be filled with the spirit what wine does it controls the person it influences a person's it takes over the person's emotions it takes over about their logic it takes over about their being but Apostle Paul he writes to Ephesians says do not do this just like wine it has this effect on people's body you need to allow the Holy Spirit to take the same effect of your life why this is so important because we see in the book of Acts in different places it talks about the barenesses the bearing of businesses he was a good man and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and God was doing amazing thing in his life and those around him it talks about Peter says when he was filled with the Holy Spirit many people came to Christ why why people come into Christ why God is doing all these different amazing things is because these people were filled with the Holy Spirit when they were speaking the Holy Spirit was speaking through them because they were filled with the Holy Spirit this is why it's so important brothers and sisters everyone who's listening this word we had the vassal of God to carry his power to be filled with his holy spirit only important for all of us in the life that we live the time that we live in that we are filled with the Holy Spirit if you want to see this action in your life if you want to see this move in your life you want to see this move in your family you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit you want to see a move your action in church and then God is manifesting himself you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit you need to surroundings in your life to change those that are around you your co-workers your peers they'll go to school with you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit this is very important brothers and sisters the word of God was guiding us and teaching us through his word what we should not be filled with that we should not pretend like we have this that we are God's people but being filled with something else but only truly filled with his power in his anointing can you all say Amen do you want this in your life do you need this in your life I do I do I don't want to fake it I don't want to have just little plastic over me that I'm I'm a Child of God no I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit I don't wanna use my own powers to overcome certain things I can't I need the power of God I need to be filled with his spirit I want my life to be influenced and a blessing for people around me I can't I'm a broken person I'm just the person I'm just a human being I'm not capable it's not possible for me to do that but the only way it is possible if I'm filled with the Holy Spirit when you go to a Street Ministry when you talk to people around you or when you somebody is broken down listen you can go have a psychology degree I remember Dr Dobson brother Paul mentioned this when he's a professional PhD doctor in psychology and he says you know what I started to practice on my children you know how to you know I wrote a lot of books how to how to how to parent children but it says you know with one of my daughters I realized that all the staff my PhD all the books that I've wrote all those different things that I know it does not work and it says I realize that listen I need to I need the power of God in my life because that's the only way there's no other way around this and that's exactly what we need that the power of God would move through us in US I would like for us to have a prayer together just to pray for one another pray this prayer just like Holy Spirit started with brother Paul we need to die to ourselves we need to have God's will in our life no longer live to ourselves believe for Christ how can God fill us as being his vessels with his holy spirit if if all there is is me is me it's it's just it's filled with me can't you need to pull out me out of there and be filled with the Holy Spirit that's why Apostle Paul says it says no longer I no longer I live but who lives in me who lives but Christ who lives in me that's what we need that's what we need for our families this is what we need for our life this is what we need to be blessings for those around us do you want to have a prayer like this do you want to experience and feel the Holy Spirit truly filling you touching you sister an excellent example she says you know what when I came to Christ I couldn't pray for more than 10-15 minutes I would pray in circles I already pray for my family all my friends and I noticed that I I keep repeating myself and I'm doing the same Circle but when I was baptized with the Holy Spirit I pray an hour and I was like I didn't even notice that that's being filled with God's spirit and the the what God was speaking to us lately about prayer is very important that we need to pray until I tell you what it wasn't just Apostle Paul and Peter in in the book of Acts just kind of like living their own life and just supernaturally the Holy Spirit descended on them and they just it started doing all those amazing things no there was a lot of praying the church was freeing at that time when they were in jail the Bible says the church was praying they were they they left their work the tent monkey they just devoted the life fully to Christ when they when they went to this man who was disabled they were coming to the temple and it says give us something and he says listen whatever we have we give you the question is before you give somebody you need to have it you need to have it and I'll be honest with you many times I don't many times I'm depleted many times I'm empty many times I run on low I need to be filled with the Holy Spirit let's get up on your feet and let's pray together you know we are here get it together as God's people as church family and if you need that prayer today you feel that dryness in your life you feel that emptiness in your life and you feel like you need the touch of the Holy Spirit you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit it is your time come to the front we'll pray together we'll encourage one another you're not coming to a brother we are just humans and we need the same thing as everyone else but we're here to encourage one another we're here to help each other if any of you here feeling like you can pray or would like to pray for someone feel free to do so but it is our time let's bow in prayer and ask Lord please fill us with your Holy Spirit please fill up my vassal with your power of God because we need to be that church we need to be that people that are being moved by the Holy Spirit let's pray Hallelujah Heavenly Father Hallelujah Heavenly Father we ask in the name of Jesus Christ Lord please let's just close our eyes everyone spend this time before the Lord it is important that we it's going to take a couple of minutes for us to get those thoughts away to get those different things that might be just keep coming to my our mind and just circling around let's just focus on the Lord open your heart and says speak to him real be open to him and says Lord I want what disciples had I want what the church and book of Acts had Lord I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit Lord I want to feel your anointing I want to feel your presence Lord let's just be open and be real with him tonight this evening let's put ourselves on that on that on that Altar and keep it in mind you know we are just this this this sacrifice but it's that altar which is which is God's that makes us holy that cleanses us that changes us that transforms us that's what it changes us it's nothing else but it's when we come to him when we come to this altar when we come to his throne and says Lord I want you I want to experience you I want to feel you I want to be touched by your Holy Spirit you know use this opportunity don't don't come to him in prayer in your words come to him physically if you'd like come before him it's very important brothers and sisters the time that we live in we need God's power like never before in our life we need to the Holy Spirit to fill you and me because without him mean nothing we cannot stand against those those those at the end maybe we cannot stand against those obstacles and seal in Temptation in our flesh in the name of Jesus Christ let's pray Church let's pray in spirit let's pray and be open with him Allelujah [Music] foreign it's very important that before we've been filled with the holy spirit that we would empty our vessels empty of of things that don't belong there empty of the vessels that of the things that should not be able be it should be located there that's you can ask God for forgiveness because he is asking like he was asking Adam where are you God is asking that question with your name Nick where are you he's not calling you and my name to punish you is to to to to to to somehow to beat you up he is calling you because he is missing that relationship with you this is very important this is this time right now is to pray if you feel you ever have your heart maybe you carry this Stone on your heart that is your time to let it go because the natural instinct is to hide the sin is to hide away is to is to to to hide and pretend like nothing's wrong but that's the the strategy of the enemy we need to let it go in the name of Jesus Christ he need to be filled with the Holy Spirit filled with his under pointing don't trade what's in your heart right now with what is God would like to give you it is very important it is that time to pray it is maybe the time to cry out to him and repent and say Lord forgive me Lord help me to put that away what does it belong there put that away what's holding me dear Lord that sin the Temptation the things that are holding me down in the name of Jesus Christ because he would like to be filling you with his Spirit he would like to be filling you with his anointing it is very important foreign to Jesus only Jesus can help you like we read that we need his death and with his death when we die with Christ that we can live with Christ we are resurrected by this Holy Spirit they would like to dwell in your in my life we need to pray hold on to Jesus like Jacob did he says I will not let you go until you bless me Lord I will not let you go until I receive this Lord you need to cry out to him it is your time it is your opportunity let's pray let's pray this is a spiritual warfare they need fight and be here to fight with you together [Music] thank you thank you foreign [Music] thank you foreign foreign [Music] [Music]
