You are invited to stop merely incorporating God into your life and instead surrender every area to His Lordship. Take the step to break the boxes you've built and invite the Holy Spirit to fill you with fresh power and purity today. Commit to growing deeper in the basics of the gospel rather than remaining a spiritual infant.
What an awesome time of worship with you guys. Come on. I love worshiping Jesus with my church family. Corporate worship is a big deal, and it's an overflow of your personal worship. We do that.
1, there's unity in worship like that, man, and it's beautiful. There's the special manifestation of the presence of God where "2 or 3 are there". There I am in their midst. He said that specifically. Not that he's in our midst.
He's not in our midst when we're alone, but there's a special manifestation of the presence of God when the body of Christ unifies and comes together. Amen. So 1, it's beautiful. And 2, if you don't spend time in *worship* singing songs to the Lord and praying alone before you get here, this is a spur to your life, an encouragement, a challenge forward to go home and learn to worship Jesus like he's really your Lord and not just when you're around other people. Amen?
You okay? All right. Good. Because because as the pastor of real church, as the spiritual leader, God has has delegated to me your spiritual well-being in this moment. And I need to do whatever it takes to lay my life down, to wash your feet, and challenge you and encourage you forward in Him.
By the way, my name is David John Phillips. I have the joy and honor of getting to be the pastor here. They laugh because I say that every time. And if this is your first time, our prayer is that you encounter the power and the presence and the love of Jesus in a very real way. And that you walk away never the same.
That you are placed into the valley of decision. You encounter *truth* and His love is truth. You encounter truth and grace and it causes you to have to choose. Am I going to *surrender* the lies that I believed before, the boxes that I put God in to the truth of who He is all the more and experience more of Him? Or am I going to continue walking my own way?
There's a lot of Christians that are walking their own way and just incorporating God into their life, but He's not really Lord. When He's Lord, you surrender all of your life and every time that He points to something where He you've made yourself as more important than God, you say, Yes, Lord, and surrender it to. That's called a relationship with Jesus, Christianity for the rest of your life. Amen? Alright.
I'm gonna just take a moment for this. Would you all give our sound man a big old hand? And I may get a little a little loud in this 1. So I'm just just so you know, you're ready so that their their ears are not blown. I'm a I preach some.
Today, I'm probably is gonna be a good mixture of preaching and teaching. Now, teaching is not like in in the kingdom, teaching biblically is not like university teaching, where I just fill your heads with a bunch of knowledge and you walk away all puffed up because "knowledge puffs up". No, no. kingdom teaching, Holy Spirit teaching is teaching you something, giving you a new understanding of the goodness or the love, an aspect of the character and nature of God. But then it also comes with demonstration.
It also comes with activation. If there's no demonstration of power and activation, then it really wasn't teaching. Because when you're in school and a teacher is teaching, don't you really learn it when you see it? Don't you really learn it when you experience it? So if if, you know, if all we do is just give you a bunch of head knowledge, then we're just puffing you up in pride and you're gonna go out and fall because God resists the proud.
We want to teach you and then demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit that goes along with it. Does that make sense? Man, if there's no power, if this just is a book of words, then Christianity is not worth a dime, and you guys should just follow whatever religion or whatever you feel. But if there's the power of the gospel to change a life, and it's the power of the gospel where you can experience His presence and His power day in and day out, it's worth surrendering everything to and reorienting your life to follow Him. So today, you are going to encounter the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
If you won't harden your hearts to it.
That's right. That's right.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Yes. That's right.
If you see it in scripture, if I show you in scripture, and it rubs up against your boxes, just break the box. Okay? Just just just put let let God be God. Let him be holy, Set apart. Different.
Always the same, eternally, but there's aspects of Him you've never seen because He's eternally deep. Let Him be holy and let yourself learn even in things you may not understand or you've always shied away from because of insecurity, fear, or ignorance because of wrong teaching. Okay? We're in this series called back to the basics. In this series, we've provided a service for you, a resource for you, go on our website, realchurch.us, and click in the top 3 on your phone, the top 3 little lines, or up at the top it says sermons, there's a drop down, and it says back to the basics.
The resource of 7 videos with an assessment. Okay, those videos, there's also notes, you can get the notes in PDF, Or you, and you can click the assessment and go through the assessment. When you fill it out, I get the email of your responses. Don't be freaked out by that. I'm not judging you.
I want, I want to read, I want to pray for you, and I want to encourage you and respond back. And my covenant with you is during this series, I'm gonna respond to every email. Okay? If I miss 1, please don't throw rocks at me. It was an accident.
As far as it is with me. Okay? And then let me know and I'll respond if I do miss it. Okay? I've had a lot of emails.
I've been good at it. It's been great. But it's been encouraging. Have those emails been encouraging to you guys? Yes?
Okay, good. Part of my role is to equip you. And you need to be strong in the basics. The basics of the gospel are not shallow, they're deep. And if God is infinite, then you should eternally and infinitely growing deeper in the basics, strengthening that foundation day in and day out.
Like spiritual infants, even if you're mature, you've been walking with Jesus for 20 years, understand things, seen things, it's been amazing. Like spiritual infants crave the pure milk of the gospel. All right? So we're talking about holy. There's this person of the Trinity, the father, the son, and the holy *spirit*.
It's the will of the father, the word of the son, and the working of the holy spirit. In this time, every interaction that you have with God is on the basis of the Holy Spirit. You hear it. You hear the voice of God. You know the thoughts of God as you learn to grow because of your relationship and interaction with the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus did what He did, the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh. The Holy Spirit has been working on you. Whether you've been born again, you've given your life to Jesus as Lord or not, the Holy Spirit has been working on you. That's why you're here. It was a set up.
The Holy Spirit drew you here. The times in your life where you're like, man, that had to be God. It was the Holy Spirit on the outside drawing you, trying to get you to come into relationship with Him. He's convicting the unbelievers of sin, trying to show them their need, that they're ungodly and they need a relationship with the God of the universe so He can transform them and then come to live inside of them so that they can walk knowing the voice of the Father and empowered toward their purpose. The Holy Spirit.
So talking about the Holy Spirit. I'm gonna breeze through some things, but these are important. Go back to the self assessment. Look at the the videos. Pull up the notes and go through every verse.
I just spit a lot. That's why we, yeah, that's why we have a big space here. So they're not baptized in the pastures anyway. Okay. That's gross.
Bad boy. Okay. So here's some some questions just to get on the same page. Who is the Holy Spirit? *1 Corinthians-12:11* says the Holy Spirit has a will.
*John-16:13 shows us that the Holy Spirit* is all knowing, and he knows the future. *Hebrews-9:14* shows us that the Holy Spirit is eternal. *Psalms-1:39* verses 7 and 8 shows us the Holy Spirit is omnipresent, meaning he is everywhere. Acts five:three-five shows us the Holy Spirit is God. It says in that He's not just some impersonal force or some thing that like is a blessing that, no, no, the Holy Spirit is a gift, and He is God.
In Acts five:three-four, Peter's speaking to Ananias and Sapphira, and he says, you have lied to the Holy Spirit. You didn't lie to human beings, but you lied to God. So he's he's a person. He has a will. He has he he sees all, knows all, knows the future and the past, and he's everywhere.
He's the he's the person of God in the work of the Lord, the Holy Spirit here and now. *Acts-2:38* says, He is a gift. A gift means you don't earn it, you receive it. You believe and receive, which means it's already been paid for. Your relationship with the Holy Spirit has already been paid for.
I know that some of your backgrounds, the Holy Spirit was not talked about and shied away from because people got nervous. The devil did that. The devil caused whole denominations to be ignorant. I know I'm being bold here. Ignorant to the working and the presence and the person of the Holy Spirit because of the power that goes along with it to fulfill the great commission.
So we're leaning in. We're leaning into what's important because anything there's controversy around, the devil caused the controversy to cause disunity so that people don't come to know Jesus, and you don't experience the fullness of the purposes He has for you. So let's just go to scripture. What does the Holy Spirit do? Romans eight:four-five, Holy Spirit leads.
*John-14:26*, he comforts, he helps, he advocates, he teaches. Romans eight:two shows us that he gives life. He is the spirit of life. *John-16:8* says he convicts, convicts the world of sin, convicts believers of righteousness and convicts the devil of their of his upcoming judgment. *Acts-1:8* shows us that he empowers.
*Ephesians-1:13 shows us that the Holy Spirit* seals us. We're gonna talk about that a little bit more in a minute. 1 Corinthians twelve:four-seven says, He gives gifts for the common good as He wills. *Acts-4:31* shows us that He fills us and gives us boldness. Who is the Holy Spirit for?
*Acts-2:17-18*. Peter is speaking to the first believers to Jerusalem right after the baptism of the Holy Spirit was poured out. And he says, quoting the Old Testament in Joel, he says, and in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will "pour out my spirit", that's the Holy Spirit, on all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even on my male servants and female servants in those days, I will pour out my spirit and they shall prophesy.
So the Holy Spirit's for the male, the female, Holy Spirit's for all flesh, male and female servants, so it's for the rich and the poor. It's for every tribe, every culture, every nation. He is for you. Amen? Amen.
All right. So, age old question everybody fights about. At least a lot of people do. What about is there a difference in being born again and the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Like, isn't like, if I have the Holy Spirit when I'm born again, why would I need a baptism of the Holy Spirit?
What's the difference? Can you show me biblically? There's some people like, oh, what's he gonna say? I'm gonna give you this. Don't shoot the messenger.
Okay? And we'll just go from there. And if it goes against your theology and you see it in scripture, change your theology and then experience his goodness in deeper ways than you ever have before. You okay? Alright.
Let's talk about it. *John-20*, we see the first people, I believe, being born again. What does it take to be born again? Born of the spirit. *Romans-10:9-10* shows us that you must believe that Jesus rose from the dead, which means you believe he died on a cross and he resurrected from the dead.
And you must confess with your mouth that he is your Lord. That's not just saying an incantation, that's believing it so much with the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So you believe it so much with the heart, you confess with your mouth openly He's your Lord. You line your life up by it.
And then He puts the Holy Spirit inside of you. We'll talk about it. John-20:19, on the evening of that day, on which day? This is the day *Jesus resurrected*, the disciples are scared. Well, later after Jesus resurrected, the disciples are scared for fear of the Jews.
*Jesus* had just been crucified. They're thinking they're gonna be crucified too. They're huddled together for fear. Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, peace be with you. When he said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
Then the disciples were glad that they saw the Lord. Okay. So they've seen the risen Lord. They believe in the resurrected Lord. They saw him die.
And then they were glad they saw the Lord. They confessed him as Lord. You see that? That's the prerequisites for being born of the spirit. What happened next?
Jesus said to them, peace be with you. As the father sent me, even so I'm sending you. And when he said this, he breathed on them and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit. If Jesus breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit, do you think they receive the Holy Spirit? Probably so.
Yeah. In that moment, they were born of the spirit. What happened? When God created Adam and Eve and He breathed in them, He was breathing physical life into them. They walked with God on the outside, but they never ate of the "tree of life".
The life of God never went on the inside. In this moment, *Jesus* died and rose again so that they could eat of the tree of life and He breathed into them. It was as if they were eating of the tree of life, the life of God came on the inside. So they could walk with Him personally. What does that look like?
Well, chapter 4, verse 14. Let's go to 13. Jesus said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.' Talking about it was a well, a physical well. But whoever drinks of the water, water represents the Holy Spirit there, the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
What is eternal life? John seventeen:three Jesus declared in His prayer, Eternal life is knowing the Father and the Son Jesus Christ whom He sent. How do we know the Father and the Son? By the well springing up to that. The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is our interaction with the Father and the Son. When you're born again, you have the capacity in that moment to know the Father. To know His voice. You're a spiritual infant. Infants got to learn how to hear the voice of their daddy.
Right? They know His presence, but they got to spend time. Spend time getting to know His word and His voice and with other brothers and sisters. It takes time. But when you're born again, you're a spiritual infant with the capacity to know the voice of the Father, eternal life.
You're reconnected with God or connected with Him. Okay? The Holy Spirit comes inside. Your spirit is dead, not because you don't have a spirit. You have a spirit, but it's dead because it's separated from the life of God.
When you're born again, the Holy Spirit comes inside and is in communion with your spirit again. So it's brought to life because you're at unity, unified with the Holy Spirit. Okay? And now you have to learn how to hear Him when He's speaking to your spirit through your mind, your will, your emotions, your body. You understand?
How do you differentiate that? You get to know his word and it separates. You're you're able to differentiate what's the Holy Spirit and what's you. The more you know His word, the better you can hear Him. If you don't understand what I'm saying, it's okay.
It will become clear as you grow in the spirit. Just let it hit you. You good? Okay. Ephesians-1:13.
It says this. In Him you were also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. And when it's talking about the seal there, that word's used a few times. 1 time it's the sealing of the tomb. They rolled the stone and it's locked in what was in there.
Another time it's talking about the sign and the seal of righteousness for Abraham. Circumcision was the sign and seal of righteousness. Another time it's talking about the seal of Paul's apostleship, his calling. And another time it's talking about the seal of believers with a mark on their head. Keeping out unbelief and apostasy.
When you're sealed with the Holy Spirit, you're truly born again. The Holy Spirit seals in your heart the seed of the gospel. The seal blocks out, like marks you, blocks out unbelief and apostasy where you may struggle, you may doubt, and you may fear, but you will always be pulled back. But what about those that walked away? 1 John-2 says those that walked away and never came back, they never were with us in the beginning.
It was just an emotional experience. They didn't really surrender to Jesus as Lord. You all right? Yeah. All right.
So we've got something else. John-20, Jesus talks about being born again. But then after John-20, Jesus says in Acts-1, I want you to see it, verses 5, 4, and while staying with them, he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit, which he said, you heard from me. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. So after John-20, he still even though they had the Holy Spirit in them welling up to knowing God personally, he still said, wait.
You're gonna be baptized with the Holy Spirit. *Acts-1:8*, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. So being born again restores your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Being baptized in the Holy Spirit gives you the power to multiply that and it flows out of you and impact the world around you. Let me show you.
*Jesus talked about it in John-7:38-39*. 37. On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.' So this this last day of the feast, it's it was the Feast of Tabernacles representing God with them. And the priest in the temple is holding up 2 glasses, a glass of water and a glass of wine, and he's about to pour out a drink offering. And in that moment, as Jesus is, I mean, as the high priest is pouring out a drink offering, Jesus stands up and says, if anybody thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
Everybody goes, woah. It's the most important part of feast. And Jesus is declaring that it's no longer about that anymore. I'm about to pour out the Holy Spirit. It says, out of his heart or belly will flow rivers of "living water".
See, one's flowing up to eternal life and the other is flowing out of our life to impact the world around us. How do you know that was about the Holy Spirit? Well, next verse is it. Now he said this about the Holy Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive. For as yet the Spirit had not been given because Jesus had not been glorified.
That's the key. This is talking about baptism of Holy Spirit. Why? Because what's the prerequisite for being born again? *Jesus* crucified and resurrected.
What's the prerequisite for the Holy Spirit being poured out? The baptism of Holy Spirit. Jesus being glorified. Talks about it in Acts-2. So it's not your earning.
It's Jesus crucified and *resurrected* for being born again. It's also not your earning for the baptism of Holy Spirit. It's Jesus being glorified. What do you have to do? That's a good question.
It says it in Luke-11:13. We'll start in verse 11. What father among you, if a son asks for a fish, will instead give him a serpent? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask?
You gotta believe it enough to go after it. To seek. That's it. What's the purpose of the baptism of Holy Spirit? Like I said, it empowers you to give out what you got.
Well, I'm good with just my personal relationship. Well then, maybe you're still an infant that needs to grow. Because being born again is the beginning. Beginning of life. It's not the end of your life.
It's the beginning of life. It's the beginning of your relationship with Jesus. You need the baptism of the Holy Spirit to be able to fulfill the purposes He has for you. It empowers you to multiply, fulfilling the great commission, which is to make disciples, and gives you the anointing necessary to walk in all the purposes He has for you. Because the purposes He has for you are *supernatural* purposes, things that require His power for.
And if you try to do supernatural by your own natural effort, you're going get burnout. You're not going to have the grace necessary to walk in it. Amen? So if if being born again is like taking a drink and it welling up to eternal life, being baptized in the Holy Spirit is like you diving in the ocean. You get out of the ocean, you're wet, and everywhere you go, the water drips off of you, and people notice the difference, and people are impacted by it.
The atmosphere around you, there's wetness on the ground. People look. What's going on with this man's life? It's the power of God flowing. What happens when you get dry?
You jump back in the ocean. Get wet again. People are like, well, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit 20 years ago. I'm good. No, you ain't.
That's being *born again is like having a wedding. Baptism in the Holy Spirit* is like like your honeymoon, and if you never go back to your wife again, 10 years later you say, well, I'm good. You're missing out brother. As the old timey pastors would say, you need a fresh dose of the "Holy Ghost". In Acts, depending on what theologian you're talking to, there's 4 or 5 different baptisms in the Holy Spirit.
Different occasions. Most of them, either 1, were accompanied by praying in tongues, speaking in tongues. Okay? The Holy Spirit can do it however he wants. But when I say that, a lot of people immediately go, oh no.
Hold on. Let's just address it. Let's just walk into the elephant in the room. So if you don't want to broach the topic of praying in tongues because of your uncomfort, you're being disobedient to scripture. First Corinthians fourteen:one says, eagerly desire the spiritual gifts.
Especially that you prophesy. It doesn't mean don't desire the rest of them. So if you're not eagerly desiring them, you're walking in disobedience. You need to repent of your uncomfort and ignorance of that and say, Lord, everything that's from you, I want it. Everything that's from you, I'm all in.
Even if it makes me uncomfortable because it ain't about me anymore, it's about you. Capiche? Okay. Now, tongues is the least of all the gifts, but there's a reason for it. Because tongues is edifying you.
It's edifying your personal spirit. What's about you is the least of it because the rest is about them. It's about everyone else. So I pray in tongues all the time, like Paul says. Maybe more than all of you, But I wish you would.
Why? Because I'm edified in my spirit so that I can overflow in the rest of the gifts to serve you. The rest of them are very important. Helps the church to multiply. When people are baptized in the Holy Spirit, they may or may not speak in tongues in that moment.
But I believe everybody that's baptized in the spirit can. Here's why. Just logic this with me for a second. Why would he give me the ability to edify my own spirit and not you? Interesting.
So, maybe people resist that because of error in the past and never "step into it". The other thing is, about praying in tongues, that whole thing, people think, well, he's going to take my mouth and just make it move. So if it ain't happening, he didn't give it to me. Come on. Really?
I know, I used to think that too. But for me, with the gift of healing, the manifestation of healing, can God heal people before the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Yes, He can. Can He use you by the authority of the name of Jesus? He did the disciples.
Absolutely. And, and, usually, He'll say, Go lay your hand on that person and pray for them to be healed. And you have to co labor with him, say, Yes, Lord. With the gift of tongues too, usually that's the case. You'll feel a desire, you'll feel a want to, you'll have a thought, but you've got to step into it.
And what I encourage people is just start praising Him. And when you don't know how to praise Him anymore, just keep doing it. Amen? It's by faith, not by fake. Okay?
How does the Holy Spirit move? Well, He moves in many ways and regardless of whether we feel anything or not, we just trust Him and we step out in faith as He's leading. Remember, when He speaks, you'll have a thought, you'll have a feeling, you'll have a desire, but He also can overflow and impact people's bodies. You might feel tingling, you might feel cold or heat. A lot of times when God's moving on people in the service, there's a manifestation their emotions don't know how to take it and they just crying.
Anybody experience that here? Some places they just start laughing. Okay. Other places, people pray and there's a Holy Spirit moves and empower the person's body doesn't know what to do with it. And you just see them go down.
They'll be like, oh, that's God wouldn't do that. Cut up all your boxes. Throw them away. And let God do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. Okay?
Trust him and just have the heart. God, if this is you, I'm in. I break my boxes. If it ain't you, I'm out. Okay?
Makes sense? So with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I told you we're gonna teach and then demonstrate. And I believe that the Holy Spirit wants to move. And I believe there's people in here that have never been baptized in the Holy Spirit, that God wants to move on you. And there are people that are dry.
And He wants to He wants to empower you out into the harvest. See these these notes? These notes are filled with names we were praying for on Friday night in the boiler room. *Revival* is birthed in the boiler room and we're praying on Friday nights at 8 to 9. You're welcome to come learn how to pray and pray with us.
They're filled with names that we're praying for salvation for. Their lives won't change without the power of the Holy Spirit moving. And then I need I need more anointing and more of His power in my life every single day so that when I come across these people, man, His power impacts my words and my actions to change their heart. Amen? So I just want you to just the Bible says draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
So I just want you to close your eyes. You can put your hands out as like a sign of receiving if you like to, you can just sit there. Just say, Holy Spirit, I need you. Just draw near to Him for a moment. Holy Spirit, ask you to come right now.
Courtney, would you come play keys for a little bit? Holy Spirit, come. We thank you for your goodness. Thank you that you gave us the name real church. We don't want fake.
We just want your authentic love. What you wrote about in scripture, that's what we want, Lord. Come, Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is moving now. And I believe there are people in here right now that are physically sensing the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Now, I'm gonna ask you something. Hold on. Keep stick turn that off for a second just because I don't want. Don't stand up just because you want this or you're like, man, I want to feel. But if you're physically feeling a manifestation of the presence of the Lord, where you're feeling tingles on your body, tears, or or something supernatural is happening and you know it.
I want you to stand up right now. Not everybody. Not everybody. Just those that are. And if you want if you want a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit, I want you you to come forward if you're standing up.
Those of you that are physically sensing. The reason I'm doing this is where you see God at work, that's your invitation to join him in what he's doing. So I just want to start with these. Physically sensing His presence. The rest of you, just continue to hold a posture of seeking after Him, and desiring Him.
I'm gonna pray for these for a second. Oh dang, that's a lot. I thought there was gonna be like 3 or 5. Praise the Lord. Okay, babe, you can play.
I'm just gonna pray for a few of these, and then I'm gonna ask others to come up and pray. You know, just continue to seek the Lord. If you're sitting there, don't feel oh, you know, I'm less than the Holy Spirit. I'm not feeling his presence. You know, there's more for you.
This is just something God wants to do to build faith. So just worship the Lord. If you could sing too, babe, that'd be great. Thank you, Lord God, for your goodness. I'm gonna pray
in the
mic so you guys can understand how I'm praying. Holy *Spirit*, come. More of you, Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit, come.
More. More, Lord. Fresh baptism and fire, Lord. More of you, Lord. In Jesus' name.
Come. Come. In the book of Acts, they laid hands many times. Come. Baptize them in your fire right now.
Come, Holy Spirit. More. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. More of you, Lord.
Come, Holy Spirit. Fill her up with you. *Purity in Jesus*' name. Purity in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
He sees you as pure in him. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit, come. More of you in Jesus' name. Holy Spirit, come.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit, come. I ask Bart, Dixie, Jerry, and Heidi, elders. If you'll start laying hands on people, that'd be great. For the rest of you, first, for all of you.
We talked about being born again, the Holy Spirit come to live inside of you. There's a lot of people that have experienced the Holy Spirit out here, but have never really surrendered to Jesus as Lord. Said, I'm all in. I'm ready. I I I deny myself.
Maybe maybe you've never maybe you just come in here for the first time. You're like, I know there's more, and I'm ready to surrender to Jesus as Lord. Maybe you went to church a lot, but never really fully surrendered. Made him the Lord of your life. You're ready to be born again right now.
If that's you, would you raise your hand? Is that you? Okay. Praise the Lord. Who else?
Who's ready to be born again? I'm ready to give my life to Jesus. You? Okay. Mariah, behind you.
To the her right here. Yes. Jerry? Hey. Sir, will you will you raise your hand in the back right corner?
Anybody else? Just say, I'm I'm ready. I'll send somebody to you. You. Okay.
Daniel. Right
there. Yeah. Sir.
Gray shirt, Would you go to? That'd be great. Anybody else? I'll send them to you. They'll lead you to Jesus right where you are.
