SPEAKER_00 0:03

Let's go to the book of Acts, chapter 1, and let's look at verse number 8. Acts chapter 1, and let's look at verse number 8. And I'm going to read from the ESV, the English Standard Version, and it says this But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. The title of my message today is I got the power. Can you just show your neighbor how strong you are and just tell them I got the power. I got the power. I got the power. I got the power. No, y'all are saying that too weak. You cannot say this sermon title weak like that. Tell your neighbor, I got the power. I got the power. No, show them your tricep. Show them your bicep. Show them, show them what set you got, whatever set you got. Show them what it is and tell them I got the power. Father, open up our eyes and our ears that we may receive a word from you that will change and transform our lives forever more. How me behind your cross. Let your voice be louder than mine here in North Make and in Midhill and in Overflow. We pray the blessing and the presence of the Lord will be upon this word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Everybody say, Everybody say. Amen. I got the power. Uh, I need you to talk to your neighbor on your right and your left just for a second. If you were wondering if this is a turn to your neighbor church, it is. And uh, and so I'm just gonna have you just talk to them just for a second, but I need you to talk to the people around you, just just you and them. Come on, man, he'll just you and them, and I need you to tell them who is your favorite superhero. Tell them now. Tell them now who's your favorite superhero. Who's your favorite? Come on, man, he'll man heel go to somebody. Tell them who is your favorite superhero, and don't say my mama. No, no, who's your favorite superhero? No, it ain't you, it ain't you, ain't you, boo. Some people love Superman, some people love Batman, some people love Spider-Man, some people love the incredible hulk. Some of y'all are old enough, we old enough, old enough to know power range. Go, go, power, rang, don't, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, go, power, the my name, power ranger. You know what I'm saying? I'm about to age myself real bad. I mean, real bad. Do I got any for 40 and older who know anything about dark winged duck? Y'all know. Dunk duck. And MVH. Dunk heat duck. Come on with some fruity pebbles, some cocoa pups, sit in your pajamas on a Saturday morning. But stay alive. My favorite superhero is Iron Man. Love me some Iron Man, because he's petty like me. I love Iron Man. Just say whatever comes out your mouth. Just Iron Man. My son, 10 years old, he loved Captain America. And I mean, me and my son, we could just be fighting. We will we will be sitting at the table eating food and fighting over who's a better superhero and who could be who. I mean, it's it's bad. You can we would just be talking and like, well, Captain America will do this, and Iron Man will do this, and we'll just go all day. Why? Because we love superheroes. And I believe that we love superheroes because we love power. As a society, I would almost say we are obsessed with power. We love the idea of power and having this superhero like power. This culture is so locked into power. People chase power every day. Power in your office, power in money, power in politics, power in popularity, power in influence, power in followers. Some of you go to the gym every day chasing power. Look at your neighbor and say it's you, isn't it? It's you, you do one. But hear me, Minhill. There is one power the world cannot manufacture, there is one power the world cannot emulate, there is one power the world cannot imitate or steal, and that is something called Holy Ghost power. Do I got anybody at any campus that know anything about Holy Ghost power? In Acts chapter 1, verse 8. Jesus tells the disciples, do not leave Jerusalem, but I want you to stay there until you receive power. Say power. I need you to say it with more light than that. Say power. He said, Stay in there until you receive power. Power for what? Power to become an effective witness, power to help people see Jesus in every area. That word power in the creek, when you look it up in Greek, it's the word dunamis. It is where we get the word dynamite from. Why is that important? Because when you see that word power meant here, it's not talking about no soft power, no cuddly power, cozy power, lighthearted power, weak power, just some kind of iffy power. No, this is dynamite power. This is explosive power. This is the kind of power that shifts a room. This is the kind of power that changes things. Why do you need dynamite? You need dynamite to blow some stuff up. God says, I'm about to give you a power so you can go ahead in every community, go ahead and every place you go and start spiritually blowing some stuff up. Somebody say power. The kind of power that makes you lay hands on the sick and watch the sick recover. Say power. The kind of power that makes you speak to dead things and watch dead things and dead situations and dead circumstances and dead relationships come back to life. Say power. The kind of power that makes you walk on water, walk on impossible situations, walk in areas that other people are drowning in, but it causes you to stand on top of. I'm talking about the kind of power that breaks an addiction, that destroys a demolish stronghold, that can break a generational curse. I'm talking about the kind of power that makes you survive storms when the wind is blowing and the rain is coming down. You do not crumble or fade because you got this Holy Ghost power on the inside of you. Somebody say, power. I'm talking about the kind of power that makes you look at a mountain and tell a mountain to get out of your way. And you sit there till that mountain gets its butt up and get out of the way so that you can pursue everything that God put on the inside of you. I'm talking about the kind of power that makes you pray and not panic, that makes you praise through every problem, that makes you have faith over fear. I'm talking about the kind of power that don't fade, the kind of power that stands the test of time, the kind of power that makes you see what other people don't see, the kind of power that makes you survive, what other people can't survive. I'm yelling on purpose because I'm trying to instill something and activate something on the inside of you. I want you to have some Holy Ghost power. Tired of the enemy kicking your behind him, tired of him doing whatever he wants to do in your life. Where's your Holy Ghost at? Where's your power? I'm talking about the kind of power that makes you stand, the kind of power that makes you thrive, the kind of power that makes you live. I'm talking about real Holy Ghost power. Yeah, you're a husband and your family driving you crazy, but you got power. Yeah, you're a mom trying to figure out how you're gonna take care of the kids and the bills and work, but you got power. Yeah, you're going through a lot in your life, but you got some Holy Ghost power on the inside of you. I wish I had somebody that would say power. Many he'll jump through the screen, say power. Pastor, you just doing a lot. You just doing the most, you just you just going kind of crazy, you so passionate, and you just it's just you blowing this thing up out of proportion. Well, you don't know your Bible. Here's what the Bible says in Romans chapter 8, verse 11. It says, the Spirit of God who did what raise Jesus from the dead. Where is he? Because he ain't up there, he ain't around here. It says he lives in you, and just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same spirit, by the same spirit, Holy Spirit. I'm talking about this. Ain't Spirit Junior. This ain't this ain't Spirit Light. This ain't diet spirit, this ain't Spirit Zero. The same spirit that snatched Jesus out the grave, the same Jesus that made, the same spirit that made Jesus conquer death, hell, and the grave, the same spirit that got Jesus out of a tomb after three days, that is the same spirit that is living on the inside of you. Can I just be ignorant just for a second? I hope you like me after this. But if the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living on the inside of you, then I have license to say, You got too much Holy Ghost to be this sad, you got too much Holy Ghost to be this depressed, you got too much Holy Ghost for you to still have your head down, you got too much Holy Ghost for you to feel like quitting, you got too much Holy Ghost to be this bitter, you got too much Holy Ghost to still wake up and not know what you're trying to get done, you got too much Holy Ghost to not wake up with the fire on the inside of you. And I wish I had somebody in this room to say, Pastor, I got the Holy Ghost power, and if that power got Jesus out of a grave, then no matter what situation I'm in right now, that thing's about to get me up. Somebody clap your hands in this room. Somebody say, Power! Power. You've got Holy Ghost power. So here is the question. We've been talking about Holy Spirit for a while. So here is the question: how do I receive this power? Okay? I'm I'm not I'm not just here to hype you, I'm here to help you. How do I receive this power? Pastor, you've been talking about Holy Spirit. Can you please break down from me? Fine, and you got me. I want Holy Spirit. What I gotta do to get this power. Three things you need to do to receive this power. You gotta pursue, you gotta pray, and you gotta participate. You gotta come on, repeat everything and say pursue. Pray, participate, pursue, pray, participate. Let's talk about pursue. If you're gonna receive uh uh the Holy Spirit, if you're gonna receive this power, you gotta pursue Jesus with everything in you. Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? I'm not talking about I come to church on Sunday and I leave as soon as service is over. I'm talking about he becomes my priority. It's a it's a 24-hour, seven-day a week thing. It is, I'm kind of obsessed about him. It's it's then he'll it's I'm trying to know him, seek him, be one with him. I'm pursuing Jesus. When you pursue Jesus, you receive and position yourself to receive Holy Spirit. Pursuing Jesus means making him a part of your everyday life instead of treating him like an emergency contact. Come on, right now, you can see if anything happens to me, if I get in any trouble, if anything goes wrong, call Jesus. No, no, no. You you when you really pursue Jesus, you don't just pursue him when you're in trouble, you pursue him when things are going well. You don't you ain't pursuing him because I almost lost my life. Let me go to see some Jesus. No, he is not just an emergency contact. Whether you are on your mountain, you pursue, or if you're in your valley, you pursue. If you just got a raise, you pursue. If you just lost your job, you pursue. When you got your tax refund, you pursue, and when they took money, you pursue. He's not just a glass you break because life is bad right now. No, pursue means I am constantly in relationship. I'm constantly watch this. I spend time with him every day. Whether I'm walking or running or at my cubicle or in my office or on my lunch break or in the morning or in the bathroom, wherever I'm at, I am actively engaged in God's presence. I'm spending time with the Lord. I'm learning what he has to say about my life, and I'm starting to do what he's asking me to do. You know what I've discovered, Midhill? I've discovered that we love the idea of Jesus pursuing us, but us pursuing him is a little different. You like that overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God. Oh, it chases me down. I still leave the nine. There's no mountain, you won't climb up, you won't climb up, coming after me. We love that about God, but this is supposed to be a mutual relationship. It's supposed to be he draws near to me and I draw near to him. That that that that he's abiding in me and I'm abiding in him. That he is running towards me and I'm running towards him. And right now, God's doing all the running, he's doing all the chasing, he's doing all the abiding. But at some point, you gotta wake up every day and say, God, this is not just gonna be a one-sided relationship. I'm gonna pursue you like you're pursuing me. I'm gonna run after you like you're running after me. Can I get an amen from somebody? You gotta you gotta turn. Here's here's you you gotta you gotta start pursuing him. Here's how Jesus said it in John chapter 7, verse 37 to 39. Watch this. He says, On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, that's where everybody wants me to preach quiet. I got scripture for why I yell. He says, in a loud voice, he said, Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the scriptures have said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. Pastor, what water is he talking about? He tells you by this he meant the spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive in Acts 1.8. Up to that time, the Spirit had not yet been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. So Jesus says, if you want me to release the Holy Spirit to you, you you gotta be thirsty. You know what I discovered? I found out hungry people eat. And people who are not hungry. I discovered that thirsty people drink. And people who are not thirsty don't drink. So maybe it's not an issue of Holy Spirit, maybe it's an issue of your thirst. Maybe it's not God not releasing the spirit, maybe you're not hungry yet, maybe you're not thirsty yet. So maybe the thing that needs to be restored in your life is your hunger. Maybe what really needs to be restored is your thirst. Okay, let me step on some toes, Z. Let me, let me, let me, let me just get in from travel. Ladies, can y'all talk to me, men heel? Ladies, can y'all talk to me, say hey? Just say hey to PB. Hey, hey y'all, hey y'all. Ladies, I got a question for you. Ladies, I got a question. Only the ladies. Only ladies' question. Have you ever been around a dude who was thirsty? Menhill, anybody? Men heel? Somebody say, did y'all been around a dude who's thirsty? What are some characteristics of a thirsty dude? What'd you say? Blowing up your phone. Texting too much. You're getting free right now. The freedom is a freedom that's coming off of your life. She was like, blowing up your phone, texting too much, sitting outside your job. What'd you say? They said what? They don't know what no means. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, run for your life. Run for your life. Come on now. Thirsty. Blowing up your phone. I say, give me a second. What'd you say?

Grand rising queen.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

Grand rising queen, that's disgusting. I know I'm going on TikTok for the y'all got me on TikTok now. Now I'm gonna get killed by the grand rising curl. Y'all love to get me all messed up. Jesus. Come on, I'm blowing you up. Text you all the time. I'm going to the bathroom. I'll wait. No, I'll call you back. Let me be in peace. Okay, ladies, be quiet for a second. Ladies, be quiet for a second. Fellas, say what up to your boy. What up, y'all? Don't listen to them. Don't even look at them. You look at me. Fellas. Have you ever been around a woman who was thirsty? Yeah, because women be like, I ain't never been thirsty. I have my own water. I bring my own standing cup. I drink, I be I stay hydrated. No. That's a lie. Fellas, if you ain't scared. If you bow, tell me what are some characteristics of a thirsty woman? Wait, what did he say? What did he say? They keep touching you. Hey, hey, you strong. You strong. My man said, liking all my pictures from years ago. Why you all the way back in 2020 like in my pictures? Why I look at my like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like because you thirsty. Put your cup away. Man, hell is crazy in here. Uh in fact, let me say this. Because some of you are thirsty. What I discovered is that oftentimes when you're thirsty, your problem is you're drinking from the wrong well. And what Jesus is trying to do is change the well you go to for water. Because you are going to a well that cannot quench the thirst that's in your life. But if you can ever understand that Holy Spirit got rivers of water waiting for you, and if you could just invite Holy Spirit into your life and bring some of that thirst to him, he will be able to fill you in a way that a man cannot. He will be able to fill you in a way that a woman cannot. I wasn't gonna preach, but can we take a praise break, Pastor? Why are we taking a praise break? Because I'm being filled not by other people, I'm being filled by God right now. Do I got anybody in the room that says, Thank God I changed my cup? I I used to bring my cup to persons, but now I bring my cup to the Prince of Peace, and now I got a different kind of water. Sheesh. So so so number two, number two, number two, number two. If I'm gonna receive Holy Spirit, number one, I gotta pursue, but number two, I gotta pray. I gotta pray. I gotta pray. The disciples didn't manufacture Pentecost, they prayed until something happened. They prayed until something moved. They waited in that room and prayed until the Holy Spirit hit that room. If you want to receive the Holy Spirit, you gotta ask for him. Some of you, you you need a fresh feeling. Some of you in this room, you need to be filled, and then some of us need to be refilled. But whatever feeling you need, you gotta ask for him. You have to ask. Ask for the Holy Spirit. Ask him to empower you. Some things don't happen until you stay and pray. I gotta teach this because some of us we will we I know you will pray for three seconds. Alright, Lord, feel me. If you don't feel it in three seconds, see I knew it wasn't gonna work. This wasn't gonna work. No, you gotta linger in prayer. Stay in prayer. You gotta decide that I'm gonna pray. We got 21 days of prayer starting on August 2nd. For 21 days when we pray every morning from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and then 9 a.m. on Saturdays, and then we'll be here on Sunday, but we pray every morning for 21 days. Some of you need to say, I need the Holy Spirit. I need 21 days to ask God to fill every area of my life. This is why I love freedom conference. We do freedom, we have freedom groups, and we we have freedom conference because we recognize we spend two days just sitting in the presence of God, just asking Him to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Let me give you some Bible for it. Luke chapter eleven, verse thirteen. What I need you to get some power. Where's the power? Where's the power? Where's the power? Because all you are is just a lamp that can't shed no light on nobody or anything. But if I can get you plugged into some power, you can really see what you can produce. You can really see who God called you to be. I wish I had somebody, I wish I had a lamp in this room that would say it's my season to get connected to some power. I am tired of living in the dark, thinking in the dark, talking in the dark, walking in the dark. It is now time for me to get some light up in here, and I need to do that through receiving some power. Come take this, come take this, come take this. Somebody say power. You start receiving power when you start to pray for God's power. All right, all right. You had you have to pursue, and then you gotta pray, and then lastly, you gotta participate. You gotta participate. Some of us, we just want Holy Spirit to just come on now. Holy Spirit wants me to live. I want to be the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit got to come choke me and take me and grab me. So we be in church and we say, Lift your hands. Yeah, Holy Spirit, if you want me to lift my Holy Spirit to throw your hands up. I ain't crying. Oh, Holy Spirit, make a tear come out of my eye. Some of us we we we get prayed for, and you come up saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If the Holy Spirit won't touch me, he's gonna have to fight for this one. So you come up, you come up with your leg behind you. We lay hands on you, you be like, Yeah, pray for me, pray for me. And we just fighting. We got our hands on your head, you're like, ah, I ain't going down unless the Holy Spirit make me go down. But the truth is, Holy Spirit don't force himself on you. He don't just take your mouth and say, No, no, no, no, no, no. You have to participate, you have to yield. You have to do something that's called surrender. The Lord feels surrendered people. In fact, any area of your life that ain't surrendered, he can't feel it. Any area of your life that you refuse to surrender, he can't feel it. And any area that the Lord has not filled will begin to control you. And you're gonna be mad when you find out that you are being controlled by something other than God's spirit. You're gonna be mad when you see where lust leads you. Oh, lust is so cute. It's nice in a song, and all the pleasure and the high of lust. You're gonna be mad when you find out where it takes you. Oh, you hold on to your anger with so much pride, and and ain't nobody gonna check you, and ain't nobody gonna talk down to you, and everybody gonna distract you, and you just hold on to it. You're gonna be mad when you see where that anger leads you. You're gonna be upset when you find out that being controlled by anger, it was cute outside in the street in the hood, and then at some point you're sitting in a situation saying, Look where anger led me. You're gonna be mad when you let bitterness lead you and control your life. Oh, I know. Hold on to bitterness, I have a right to feel this way, and I I'm just sick and tired of and the trauma and the pain, and the and you are letting that root of bitterness just you're gonna be mad when you see where bitterness leads you. You're gonna be mad when you see where jealousy leads you, Minhill. You're gonna be mad when you see a division and gossip. You're gonna see you're gonna be mad when you see where it leads you, but you gotta get to a space to say, Nope, any space that the Holy Spirit's not filling, it means that I haven't surrendered. And so I've got to surrender that area to God today. And as I surrender that area to God today, I'm leaving here with some victory in my life. I wish I had somebody in the room that can cop your hands and say, I'm receiving the Holy Spirit today. I don't know if you know this, but you're not leaving here empty, you're not leaving here without receiving God's Holy Spirit. I don't know if you caught on yet, but I'm not teaching this for no reason. I am teaching this so that you don't walk out of that door and get back into your car without inviting the Holy Spirit back into your life. Here's what the Bible says the Bible says that receiving the Holy Spirit is not a one-time event, it's a lifestyle of surrender. That's why the Bible says in Galatians chapter 5, verse 16, it says, So I say, Do what? Walk, walk. This ain't just an altar call, it's a walk. It's a he walks with me, he talks with me. Holy Spirit is when I wake up, Holy Spirit is when I when I'm out on a date, when I'm going to the office, when I'm just gonna go pick up my mail. I'm walking with him throughout my day. This ain't a zap you at the altar. This is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I'm walking with him. I'm talking with him. That in my in my office, I'm walking with him, and I've got to get you to slow down so that you can go on a walk. This ain't a run by the spirit, this is a walk with the spirit that I'm walking with God. Yeah, I don't I'm not perfect, but I'm walking by the spirit. He says, if you walk by the spirit, you will not gratify the desires of your flesh. So I came to preach to every person in this room that it is time to walk in the spirit of God, and I'm gonna release in this room the power of God's Holy Spirit. You might have come in here weak, but you're leaving with the Holy Spirit. You may have come in here addicted, but you're leaving here with the Holy Spirit. You may have come in here afraid, but you're leaving here with the Holy Spirit. You might have come in here not certain about tomorrow, but you're leaving here with the Holy Spirit. Every heavy heart, every heavy shoulder, every heavy burden. I declare in the name of Jesus that the Holy Spirit can break that stronghold off your life. There are some of you that's been struggling with an addiction, and that addiction has been generational, it's been passed down to you. That alcoholism, that ain't even you. That was something that was dropped off at your doorstep when you were born. But the Holy Spirit has got the power to disrupt and destroy every yoke of alcoholism in this place. Some of you are carrying a stronghold, you have a house of lies built in your mind, lies about who you are, lies about your future, lies about your destiny. But the truth of God's word is gonna allow the Holy Spirit to release some freedom in your life. Do I got anybody in this room that can open up your mouth and say, Lord, I want the Holy Spirit, I want the Holy Spirit. Men heel, I am telling you right now, all you gotta do is ask and you receive. If you seek, you will find. If you knock, the door will be open. So, right there in your seat, can you lift your hands? Can you open up your mouth? And let's just start to change the atmosphere in this place. I'm telling you, the Holy Spirit's about to rush through here. I'm telling you, in the name of Jesus, I'm declaring and decreeing, I'm decreeing and declaring that every heart, every mind, every spirit, every person, everybody, you are gonna be filled with the Holy Spirit. Come on, lift your hands and cry out. See, we cry, Holy Spirit, you are welcome. Come on, conflood this place. Feel the atmosphere Come on, man here. I need you worshiping right now. That is what we want you to be over to me by your presence. Somebody say Holy Spirit You are coming.
