Walking in the Power of the Spirit
In this message, the preacher explores what it means to live daily in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, drawing on Acts 1:8, Isaiah 61, and John 14–16 to show how believers are strengthened, taught, and set free. Listeners are encouraged to move beyond a casual awareness of the Spirit into an active, intimate relationship that brings healing, liberty, and boldness to be witnesses for Christ. The sermon closes with an invitation to anyone seeking a deeper walk with God to receive new life and freedom through Jesus Christ.
Overview
This message centers on Acts 1:8, calling believers to move from a casual awareness of the Holy Spirit to an active, daily dependence on His power. The preacher teaches that the same power that fell on the disciples at Pentecost dwells in every believer today, enabling them to live set free from bondage, to be witnesses, and to walk boldly in faith rather than by feeling or sight. The sermon weaves together Acts 1:8, Isaiah 61, and several New Testament texts to show the Spirit as comforter, teacher, guide, intercessor, and empowering presence.
Key Scripture Passages
- Acts 1:8 — The foundational promise: believers receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon them, enabling them to be witnesses "unto the uttermost parts of the earth."
- Isaiah 61:1 (and surrounding context) — The Spirit of the Lord anoints to preach good tidings, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to captives, and open prison doors; cited as the pattern Jesus later claims for Himself in Luke 4:18–19.
- Romans 8:21 — Creation (and believers) will be "delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
- 2 Corinthians 3:17 — "Now the Lord is that Spirit... where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
- John 14:16–17 — Jesus promises "another Comforter" who will abide with believers forever.
- John 14:26 — The Comforter (Holy Spirit) teaches all things and brings Christ's words back to remembrance.
- John 16:13 — The Spirit of truth guides believers into all truth and shows them things to come.
- Romans 8:26–27 — The Spirit helps believers in weakness, interceding with "groanings which cannot be uttered" according to the will of God.
- Acts 2 (Day of Pentecost, referenced throughout) — The historical outpouring where the disciples were filled and began to prophesy/proclaim the gospel.
- John 5 (implied — the pool of Bethesda) — Used as an illustration of a man waiting for outward movement when the power to rise was already available by the spoken word.
Sermon Outline
- The Power Is Promised (Acts 1:8) — Jesus' promise that power comes "after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you."
- This power is not self-generated; it is received.
- Its purpose is explicitly to make believers witnesses, not merely to produce a private spiritual experience.
- The Power Is for Daily Dependence, Not a One-Time Event — The preacher stresses needing to "walk on this thing every day," depending on the Spirit amid an ongoing internal battle ("the war that's in my flesh").
- Believers must lean, trust, and rely on the Spirit rather than operate in self-effort.
- The Day of Pentecost model: the believers were gathered, united, and expectant — a posture the preacher calls the church to recover.
- The Power Produces Life and Transformation — The Spirit quickens the mortal body and moves believers "from glory to glory."
- Apart from Christ, the human spirit was "dead in sin"; new life comes only through being made alive in Christ.
- The Spirit's work is described as a "natural experience" of being grounded, rooted, and saturated in God's presence.
- The Anointing Brings Liberty (Isaiah 61) — The Spirit's anointing is for proclamation: preaching good news, binding the brokenhearted, freeing captives, opening prison doors.
- "Prison doors" are reinterpreted practically — stalled paperwork, a needed job, any place of being stuck.
- The illustration of the man at the pool of Bethesda: the power to rise was already present; the spoken word activated it.
- Where the Spirit Is, There Is Liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17) — Freedom is a present reality for those indwelt by the Spirit, not something to search for.
- Believers are called to speak this truth daily: "the Spirit of God lives in me."
- Freedom from "the law of sin and death" is framed through Romans 8.
- The Spirit as Helper in Daily Life — A summary of the Spirit's functions drawn from John 14–16 and Romans 8.
- Comforter who abides forever (John 14:16–17).
- Teacher who brings Christ's words to remembrance (John 14:26).
- Guide into all truth and revealer of things to come (John 16:13).
- Intercessor in times of weakness and uncertain prayer (Romans 8:26–27).
- The Purpose: Witness, Not Performance (Acts 1:8 revisited) — The power is given specifically so believers become living testimonies.
- "Prophesy" is defined as speaking, proclaiming, making known the word of God — not limited to pulpit ministry.
- A vision is cast for the congregation to go out and testify in the streets.
Theological Insights
- Pneumatology (doctrine of the Holy Spirit): The sermon presents the Spirit as a distinct, personal "Helper/Advocate" (Greek parakletos, John 14:16) who indwells believers permanently, rather than a temporary or impersonal force.
- Union with Christ and regeneration: The claim that the human spirit was "dead in sin" until made alive in Christ echoes Ephesians 2:1–5 and Romans 8:10–11, tying the Spirit's indwelling to regeneration, not merely empowerment for service.
- Already/not-yet liberty: Romans 8:21 situates believers' freedom within the larger biblical theme of creation's groaning and future redemption (Romans 8:18–23) — liberty is both a present experience and an eschatological hope.
- Christological fulfillment of Isaiah 61: The sermon's use of Isaiah 61:1 mirrors Luke 4:18–21, where Jesus reads this text in the Nazareth synagogue and declares it fulfilled in Himself — the preacher extends that same anointing-for-mission to the believer who is "in Christ."
- Power for witness, not spectacle: Acts 1:8 ties empowerment directly to mission ("ye shall be witnesses"), reinforcing that spiritual empowerment in Luke-Acts theology is missional, not self-focused.
- Intercessory ministry of the Spirit: Romans 8:26–27 is highlighted to show that even prayer itself is Spirit-enabled, underscoring human dependence rather than self-sufficiency in the life of faith.
- Freedom as identity, not achievement: The repeated refrain "I don't do it of myself... I just simply believe" reflects a grace-based, faith-received view of sanctification and freedom rather than a works-based one (cf. Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast... in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free").
Word & Context Study
- "Power" (Greek dynamis, Acts 1:8): Denotes inherent miraculous ability or capability — the root of the English word "dynamite." It's the same word used elsewhere in the New Testament for the power behind miracles, underscoring that the Spirit's power is not merely emotional but active and effectual.
- "Comforter/Advocate" (Greek parakletos, John 14:16): Literally "one called alongside" — a legal and relational term meaning helper, counselor, or advocate who stands with someone in need, consistent with the sermon's description of the Spirit "rescuing" and "helping" the believer.
- Day of Pentecost (Acts 2): A Jewish harvest festival (Shavuot) occurring fifty days after Passover, when Jerusalem was filled with pilgrims from many nations — explaining why the multilingual proclamation in Acts 2 reached "every nation under heaven" gathered there.
- "Prophesy" in Acts 2: In this context, prophesying refers broadly to Spirit-inspired proclamation and testimony (fulfilling Joel 2:28–29, quoted by Peter in Acts 2:17–18), not exclusively predictive speech — matching the sermon's definition of "to speak, to proclaim, to make known."
Application
- Make daily, intentional dependence on the Holy Spirit a practice — not a one-time experience but a continual "walking" and "leaning" on His power.
- Replace reliance on feelings or circumstances ("you can't go by what you feel, you can't go by what you see") with confident reliance on what you know by faith in God's Word.
- Identify your own "prison doors" — stalled situations, fears, or bondages — and speak God's Word of liberty over them rather than waiting passively for circumstances to change.
- View your everyday life (work, errands, relationships) as an opportunity to be a witness, since empowerment is given for testimony, not just personal comfort.
- When uncertain how to pray, trust that the Spirit intercedes on your behalf according to God's will (Romans 8:26–27).
- Regularly declare truth aloud ("The Spirit of God lives in me") as a discipline of faith that strengthens remembrance and resistance against doubt.
Reflection & Discussion Questions
- In what areas of your life have you been relying on your own strength rather than "leaning and relying on the power of the Spirit of God"?
- The preacher says believers should depend on the Spirit "every day," not as a one-time event. What practices could help you cultivate that daily dependence?
- Isaiah 61 and Acts 1:8 both connect the Spirit's power to a sent mission (preaching, witnessing). How does this challenge a purely personal or private view of spiritual empowerment?
- What "prison doors" in your own life might God be inviting you to walk through in faith, as the man at the pool of Bethesda did when told to "arise and walk"?
- How does knowing the Spirit intercedes for you in "groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26) change the way you approach prayer in seasons of weakness or confusion?
- The sermon distinguishes "going by what you feel or see" from "going by what you know." How do you discern that distinction practically in a hard season?
Conclusion
The central call of this message is a summons out of a casual, occasional awareness of the Holy Spirit into an active, moment-by-moment fellowship with Him — one that shapes character, conduct, and courage. The Spirit who filled the disciples at Pentecost is the same Spirit who indwells every believer today, bringing liberty from bondage, comfort in weakness, truth for guidance, and power for witness. The preacher's plea is simple and urgent: stop searching outside yourself for what God has already placed within you by His Spirit, and rise — in faith, in freedom, and in testimony — to walk in the power that has already been given.

gonna go out amen and the way that we know that we have been empowered by the holy spirit amen the
power of the holy spirit amen it causes us amen because jesus promised him and prominent promise
in Acts 1 and 8. What was the scripture saying in Acts 1 and 8?
We're talking about the manifestation of the power of God.
Amen. It said, but you shall receive, amen,
power. After that, the Holy Ghost has come upon you.
And you shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem
and in Judea and in Samaria and unto the other most
parts of the earth. Power, amen, or the

A witness.

God is calling our lives, amen, to be a testament of who God is.
We are the new testament of the new day, amen, of who God is.
and the spirit of the living God
has empowered you
to live in a prosperous
way where every man
can see God and that God
whom God shall be glorified
hallelujah it's all
about the spirit
of the living God dwelling on us
and he said in Acts 1 and 8
power he said the Holy Ghost
I got the Holy Ghost
I have the spirit of the living
God you know children I got to
I realized as I was studying
that I said
Lord I need to walk on this thing everyday
I need to depend
expect
a feeling and a re-feeling
everyday
cause I know the war that's in my flesh
that's going on amen
don't like my God
so I gotta be empowered by God
and able to walk in the way God
has called me
in order for us to hear what the spirit
of the Lord is speaking
unto us, we have to be
enabled by the power of God.
So on the day of
Pentecost, they said the people
were all together, amen, after the power
of God. And they was assembled
together, something like we are right now.
We're all together and we all
got everything in common.
We all believe in Jesus Christ,
our personal Savior.
And we're all waiting for something
from God. I don't know about you,
I come expecting a miracle.
expecting something to happen but you know it's something even when we learned in Sunday school
when we learn to depend to trust to lean to rely on the power of God that dwells in us
and it's not something you got to look for and it's not something you got to search for from
other people it's all in the word of God he said my word is spirit so when you get into what the
word of God is speaking to you you know you now have a life and can live it more abundantly why
because you've been empowered amen empowered by the spirit of God and you know it's a nice thing
to know children God that we all sin and we all fall short of the glory of God but it's a nice
thing to know amen that God has given me an advocate and Jesus has left me a comforter
I can depend and rely on the word of God
I can depend and rely on the son of God
I can depend and rely on the spirit of God
It's a real battle children of God
But when we come to the place of just knowing
That the power of God dwells in us
We won't look for our situation to be settled any other way
Except through the power of God
I've been enriched
I've been enriched with his mercy
and I've been enriched with his power
and often times children of God
I don't know what to do
but the spirit of God said call on the name of Jesus
he said there's power in his name
he said just by calling on his name
you got to know that his glory
is going to execute itself
just by using the name of Jesus
the power of God will move in your life
so weapon me
oh God thank you Jesus
God wants to do
something for you
but he needs us
the children of God to believe
cause God wants to make us
testaments amen
he wants to make us witnesses
there's places that we go into
amen and often times
we don't know what to say
and matter of fact we don't even know how to act
and sometimes we act kind of
really ugly so we have to
to the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit I need you to rescue me I need your help I cannot do this
to leave me to God me through all to be said amen the Holy Spirit will quit at my mortal body it'll
caused me to come alive in Christ Jesus do you understand children God although
that the benefits a man that God has in store for us if we only believe a man he
said believe he said I've already sent my spirit amen after Jesus Christ these
left the faithful of this earth my spirit went forth right away just like
that amen and we became a man as God said in the beginning we were quickening spirits but
when it really came to pass is when we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior for our
spirits became alive in Christ Jesus my spirit was dead it was dead in sin and it was dying
amen and there was no good thing that could be found in me amen because I was not depending on
the Holy Spirit but it's something about how God works he said speak the word
speak the word he the word of God the spirit of God trust in you and the word
of God came through Isaiah 61 amen when he when the prophet began to speak the
parent the people of God the children of God was going through bad and they were
going through so bad they will put ashes on their heads and it will mourn amen
something like us when we start complaining amen when we start going
through amen but then comes a time amen as it did on a day of Pentecost that it
does every single day at this present time in your life when the spirit of God
begins to move he's doing I was feeling a moment ago put my chest up and know
Jesus is Lord and know that the spirit of God is working on my behalf I believe in God I believe in miracles I believe in the spirit of God that dwells in me and the Bible said richly I don't know about you haha there's something about when you the spirit of God moves into a place in your life and man you feel so grounded so rooted so saturated
in the presence of God.
Amen. It's just a natural
experience. Amen.
That you intake. Amen.
And you get swallowed up into
the presence of the living
God. So as Jesus
promised that the spirit of
love will come. Amen. And the people
tarry. Amen. Waiting
on the spirit. The Bible
declares that they were singing songs. Amen.
You know how we were doing earlier?
We were singing songs.
And we were singing melodies unto
God and then all of a sudden if you didn't see it I did a shift of the spirit began to move through the sanctuary and it did then to touch this person and that person and then the only thing you know is that everybody started lifting up their legs and putting them down lift up their legs and putting them down they knew something was happening they knew something was shifting in their lives amen listen sugar God it's just the knowing amen the Holy Spirit takes you to a place I just know there is a living God
somebody said to me not that long ago
how do you know
and I looked them face to face
I said I know that I know
that I know that God
is true he's the living God
that dwells in me
I know that I know I don't
have no doubt I don't care what these
people say and how they say it
and how they rephrase it I have a
knowing through the function
of the Holy Spirit
nobody can't question me
or cause me to lose doubt in who my God is
because I've been empowered by the Holy Spirit
that takes me through all truth.
Amen.
God is alive.
God is alive.
Drilling inside of us through the person of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
And I love the point that he said we will become witnesses.
And it's not just talking about when you go outside and witness with you.
I pray that here at Grace International that we get up to a place where we can meet on Saturdays and go out to the streets, amen, and testify of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
It's a place where we have to rise up and hear the scriptures, amen, because after the Holy Spirit fell upon them, if you read that whole chapter, you'll realize that they begin to prophesy.
Prophesy means to speak.
Prophesy means to proclaim prophesied means to make known what is the word of God so as they begin to preach everybody begin to hear and then God had given them is that they
could hear and they begin to receive Jesus Christ it's your life I'm in a
testimony that people could hear the words speaking from your beings because
the spirit of God dwells in you.
So if your life is a
lifestyle that glorifies
God, it speaks.
Why? The word speaks.
And the word dwells in you.
Amen? Listen, children,
still stay and focus
on the power.
Because I woke up this morning and said, God, I need some power.
I need more power.
Power, power, power.
Release your power.
Because I didn't, you know, because sometimes
let's be real we don't it seems like nothing's going on around you amen and that's what you got
to step out by faith amen you can't go by what you feel you can't go by what you see you got to
go by what you know what do you know i'm a child of the most hearted god born again in christ jesus
and that the spirit of god lives inside of me that i know did you know that you have a personal
know an intimate relationship with God because that takes you to the place where you will be a
witness for God this divine empowerment equips Christians to fulfill the Great Commission amen
the Apostle Paul emphasized the significance of the spirit in Romans 8 and 21 amen 8 and 21 Romans
8 and 21 hallelujah it takes amen the power of god takes us to the place of when the when god said go
ye go ye amen we hear and we go amen and we become testimonies amen i don't care but just go ye to
your job go you to the supermarket but go amen and be witnesses unto god and in romans 8 21 the
where he said because the creature itself also shall deliver from the
bondages of corruption and to the glorious liberty of the children of God
we are the creatures and God's gonna use us that the people in the world can see
the glory of God inside of us and the people shall be delivered I shall be
delivered by what the power of the living God he said the creator itself
also shall deliver me
from bondage. Amen.
And I'm going to be delivered to the place
where I will be a witness. Amen.
That other people may know
and see the works
of the spirit of God.
Open your mouth. I shall be
delivered.
I shall be
a witness until the glory
of God.
Look, here's something. You know, children of God,
I'm telling you, because your
sinful nature is your sinful nature.
But when you have a relationship with God and you start walking in the spirit, amen, you begin to see, amen, yourself being delivered from bondage of corruption.
And then you begin to see, amen, the glorious liberty when Christ has set you free.
The psalm writer said, I'm no longer bound, amen, but I am free, amen.
Christ has set me free.
It's nothing that I do of myself.
I just simply believe.
I'm no longer bound.
Because in the power of the living God, I have been set free.
Amen.
God said, speak the word.
Speak the word.
He said, speak the word.
And the children shall be free.
As we go back to Isaiah 61, let's go to the verse first.
First verse, excuse me, slow down.
The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
I need you to say the spirit of the Lord God.
is within me
because the Lord has anointed me
I have an anointing
anointing that God gave me
a Shekinah glory
the weight of his glory
has rested upon my life
and I have been anointing to do what?
preach
I have been anointed to what?
preach
you hear the word preach
and you think you should be on the pulpit
but the word preach means to proclaim
it means to make known
it means to speak
the gospel of Jesus Christ
unto the meek
cause there's a person out there
hungering
it's a person out there
lowly in heart
it's a person out there that feels
like nothing else can work
he said speak my word
it's awesome
cause the people at that time
and that era were going through bad
I mean bad
and God had
allowed the anointing to fall upon
Isaiah and he told
Isaiah speak the word to the
people we speak a word
this day into your ears
for the spirit of the Lord
rests in you so we declare
and we decree in the name
of Jesus that your
spirit will arise and that
your enemies shall be
scattered and your
enemies shall be started because of the anointing the enrichment of God inside
of me causes my enemies to flee it may be trouble on every side you may be
persecuted but I'm telling you what today today that the Lord has moved into
your life the Bible said he moved like a mighty Russian wind
and you know what happened God keeps showing me when I'm moving like a Russian wind I'm moving all
debris out of your life and then water begins to rain and anointing shall come down into your life
to remove that debris now I'm standing up outright and righteous before God he said he has sent me
amen to bind up the broken hearted
amen no matter what you're troubled about
amen
Isaiah spoke a word
and that error
and that error was leading to
what Jesus Christ would do
amen and Luke
amen he was leading to that place
where Jesus Christ would come
and open the book amen
and speak the word
I don't know where you at
right now in your life
but I'm telling you that the word
God is being preached to bind up the broken hearted he said not only bind up the broken heart to
proclaim to make known to release a word that will accept the liberty to the captives there's places
that were captive in our lives but the word has come amen and has been proclaimed amen and has
been spoken into your hearts amen so you will be liberated in the sun set free and free indeed
where the spirit of the Lord is
there is liberty
amen we bless the Lord
for the power of the enablement
and the spirit of God
he said I love this piece here
and the open of prisons
to them that are bound
there's a lot of places
amen they were bound
there's a lot of places
we're bound then but I'm telling you
and I'm being honest with you
that the spirit of God that dwells in you
to open that prison door
and I know you know what it is
but the spirit of the Lord is in you
to open your prison doors
can you see yourself walking out
amen I'm walking out
in the liberty where Christ
has set me free
I'm walking out in the anointing
the empowerment of the
Holy Spirit that will cause me
to stand still and see
the salvation of God
can you see the handiwork
of God his salvation hallelujah amen in Jesus name hallelujah we thank you for the law amen the law
for the law of the spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death
you know Paul reminds us that God is what April he has set us free amen from the very law amen
that has bound us up, that has put us in prison.
So Lord, amen, that it costs us not to move forward.
God keeps showing me, amen, hallelujah.
If you don't mind, if I paraphrase this verse,
he showed me the man that sat at the pool of Bethesda
waiting for the waters to move.
And oftentimes we're sitting, amen,
waiting for the spirit of God to move.
but I'm here to tell you one word
Jesus spoke a word
he was sitting there
he said arise
and today I speak to your spirit
and I say arise
and walk
the man had by
he was waiting
to get into the pool
for something he already had inside of him
so when the word was released
his spirit was quickened
he stood up and he walked on off
he had been sitting there for years
where is it that you're sitting in your life
and you know I've been sitting here for years
I speak a word to your spirit man today
arise
pick up your word
and walk in the liberty
where Christ has set you free
for it's not by might
nor is it by power
but he said it's by my spirit
says the Lord
prison doors amen
prison doors things that
have kept me back
I'm trying to get my papers
that's a prison door
the guy said I opened that prison door
he said I'm trying to get
a better job
that's a prison door
I opened that prison door
he said would you believe
I've opened the prison door
the captivity that held you captive
not allowing you to move
to the next place of my glory
today I declare to you
that that prison door
has been opened
in the name of Jesus
oh God the spirit of the Lord
amen has released
amen character in me
he reveals truth
and he brings liberty
and so we have to always
remember amen
amen as the word has written in
2nd Corinthians 3 and 17
amen what does the word of God
says amen
2nd Corinthians
chapter 3
verse
and 17
he said again
2nd Corinthians
amen we bless the Lord we bless the Lord
we bless the Lord God we thank you
for your word he said now the
Lord is that spirit
can you hear the word of God
he said now the Lord
is that spirit
amen
and where the spirit of the Lord
is there is
liberty I don't care
I don't
care what the devil try to
burn you up in I'm free
I'm free in the name of the Lord
why because where is the
spirit of God in you
we talked about the spirit of God
dwelling on us
so when a spirit of the Lord is I don't have to look for freedom I don't have to
look to be free already there's liberty there's liberty praise the Lord I'm free
praise the Lord I'm free
I'm no longer bound.
I'm free. Why?
Because where the spirit of the Lord
is
there's liberty.
So often you go
through the course of your day
and you feel quite bound in your mind.
Your mind is telling you
all kind of stuff.
But the Bible says great is he
that is in me.
The spirit of God is in
me. And where the spirit of God
is amen I'm free I don't have to be bound amen because I'm free because why it is so imperative
to understand no realize get that ocean spirit got this in me we got to start saying that every
day the spirit of God lives in me I don't care what you think I don't I know my flesh in that
right but the spirit of God lives in me you got to take your faith level you got to move from glory
the glory. You got to keep it in remembrance. You got to proclaim it. You got to speak it.
Amen. So because every time you said the spirit of life lives in me, the spirit of life says,
yes I do Yes I do You are my child The spirit of God lives in me And the spirit acts as a present helper and an advocate who assists believers us and their daily walk and help us to navigate challenges of life the spirit of god amen how does the holy spirit help us and navigate our
challenges let's go to john 14 verse 16 and 17 john 14 and he said and i will pray the father
and this is jesus christ talking and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you
forever is the spirit going to be here today and going tomorrow no how long is he going to
abide with you forever so that's the certainty that we know let's go amen amen the holy spirit
is called the comforter that abides with us amen let's go to john amen 14 and then verse 26 amen
i like this because it confirms the word that we're learning in sunday school
and faith come by hearing and hearing by the word of god so we got to hear this word as much as we
can as often as we can he said 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 have said unto you so whatever God spoke amen just like he did in the beginning of time
so that means God said you walking in darkness he said let there be light
and there was light darkness couldn't comprehend that light you gotta realize you got something
over the devil, amen, because darkness can't
get it, amen, and
light keep moving as long as you keep
believing, amen, and there
was what? Light,
amen, we thank you Lord Jesus
for the light of the spirit of God, he teaches
us, he brings things back to
our remembrance, you hear
the word of God, but there's got
to be a word that you can catch,
amen, so that you can live
it, amen, when we get an
opportunity to speak the word,
we always get tried on that same word
and I have to say
and the Holy Spirit says remember what you preached
remember what you preached
live it
we have to live the word of God
amen
and in John 14
and 26
amen
excuse me
I'm sorry
and John 16 and 13
we're talking about the spirit
how to navigate our lives
amen in john 16 and 13 it says the spirit amen how being when he the spirit of truth
is come he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever
he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you things to come
whatsoever
so if you speak
the word of God
the spirit of the Lord is going to show you
that thing
it's not a word that you can speak
that it shall not be seen
so whether it's good or whether it's bad
the spirit of God is going to bring it
back to you
but it's God's intent
it's an earnest intent
that you speak what the word of God says
so that it will surely
come to pass
and it will work for your good amen it will work for your good and Romans amen amen thank you Jesus
in Romans 8 26 and 27 Romans 8 26 we're navigating amen we're navigating amen the
spirit is gonna help us navigate he said likewise the spirit also help us our infirmities for we
know not what we should pray for as we are but the spirit itself making intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered amen amen and and he searches the hearts knowing what is the
mind of the spirit because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of god
the Spirit of God makes intercession for us according to what's written and the
Word of God but that's God's will and then so when you're making intercession
and then you're praying amen the spirit is bringing back to your
remembrance what you ought to pray amen according to what the scriptures are
saying amen so that's not lose sight amen and know that the Holy Spirit helps us
amen and our weakness amen let's be real we're all weak we all sin we all fall short of the glory of
god but the spirit of god is in us to help us to pray amen especially when we don't know what to
pray for amen and again in acts 1 1 and 8 amen the holy spirit gives believers power to be witnesses
know ye that the Holy Spirit has given you the power
a simple way to remember how the Holy Spirit
empowers us is to remember the Holy Spirit
confronts, he teaches, he reminds, guides
strengthen and help us pray but most of all
give us power, there's power, there's power
there's power, there's power, there's
power there's power there's power it's power by the power of the holy spirit there's power
i walk in the power of god i live in the power of god i move in the power of god i have my
beings in the power of god through the person of the holy spirit which drove in me richly
In the name of Jesus.
Oh, there is power, there is power, power, power, wonder-working power in the blood of the land.
There is power, there is power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.
Amen.
In closing, amen.
Our central goal of the Holy Spirit is to move from a casual view of the Holy Spirit
to an active fellowship with the Holy Spirit
that influence every aspect of our character and conduct.
Amen.
So I don't know about you.
I pray that you heard a word.
I pray that the word will transform your life
and I pray that you will never be the same again
in Jesus name
Father we thank you that your word went forth
we thank you that your word will not return
until you void

in our mortal bodies
causing us to come alive in Christ Jesus

A refuge, a hiding place
A God in whom we will trust in
So as we go through

and you continue to pour your love out on us.
In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
