Episode Transcript
Welcome to the World Changers Church Gold Coast Podcast. Join us as we listen to today's message. Well, would you please welcome the ministry gift, my wife, the gift to my life, Pastor Tina.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
You may be seated. Thank you guys so much. It's good to be back.
I was thinking this morning that what a year this has been. I feel like I am in January of 2025. I feel like the moment I'm like, okay, I'm ready.
Something else comes, but... Praise God. God is good.
He's alive. He's alive in me. He's alive in you.
And I'm here to minister to you this morning in what I believe the Lord has given me to share with you. And we're gonna talk about the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Patty, they have ministered the past couple of weeks and they've ministered on the Holy Spirit.
And so this morning, I'm gonna talk to you about the Holy Spirit in you, but also understanding the Spirit, the soul, and the body. And so we're going to do a dive into this. And, you know, I'll be honest, I've never ministered on spirit, soul, and body.
I've heard many messages and many teachings of it. And, you know, but I said this morning, Lord, Holy Spirit, help me. That's been the rhythm of my week.
I was working. I work a job. I'm an office manager, and I was in QuickBooks and getting ready to send a file to the accountant, and I'll just share a little story here, to the accountant, and he said, oh, what was the income for the year?
I said, oh, And I wasn't present for this year that I was submitting for. And so I was like, oh, good question, because I don't know. We've cleaned up the file and got it all reconciled and looked.
And I was like, oh, that's about $150. 20,000 more than what I have in our CRM system and what's in the weekly report. Something's wrong.
And I'd been through three bookkeepers because the file was a mess. Again, I wasn't there. And anyway, long story short, I'm looking at this file like, I need to get it to the accountant.
And I'm like, that bookkeeper didn't do her job. Holy Spirit, help me. So I went into the file and then I realized that there was manual entries and journal entries.
So I just went delete, delete, delete. It's not supposed to be there. So in my briefing with my manager, he was like, why did you delete, Tina?
The bookkeeper reconciled everything. And I'm like, well, she didn't do her job. And he goes, well, I said, there's no way she could have reconciled if you know finance because there was transactions missing.
I didn't import transactions. And, you know, it just wasn't, Right, and I knew that this deleted and now it's sitting at the amount that it should be, $100 off, but I'm not digging into that. I'm submitting it because it's pretty much in line now.
And he goes, but you deleted. I said, yes. Why did you delete?
Well, I felt the Holy Spirit inside me. It wasn't that I played the God card, but I was like, I asked the Holy Spirit, help me. Holy Spirit, help me.
And there were manual entries and I just knew because I had the Holy Spirit leading me to delete this. And I worked for Christian ministry and he was like, Okay, well, let's see what the next reconciliation comes back. And I'm like, it's gonna be good now.
It's all good now, because I asked the Holy Spirit to help. So, you know, we have an unseen partner. Jesus, when he was leaving this earth, he said that he promised us after he ascended that he will send the Holy Spirit to help us.
Not only help us, but to guide us and to empower us. And I know that probably some of the pastors in the last couple of weeks have broken this down, but let's go back to John 14, 16 through 17. It says, and I will ask the Father and He will give you another advocate who will never leave you.
He is the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive Him because it isn't looking for Him and doesn't recognize Him. But you know Him because He lives with you now and later will be in you.
So Jesus was telling the disciples, you will have, I will send someone to help you, to empower you, to guide you, to lead you. And not only will he do that, he'll never leave you. and He will never forsake you because He lives with you now, but later He will live on the inside of us.
The Holy Spirit is God's presence in us and always in the room. It's not just a concept or a force. He is God's very presence within us.
It is a power that is at work on the inside of us. It is a life source. The Spirit of God is a gift to us.
And this gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to live in the fullness of this Christian-like life. the realm of where old things pass away, and behold, all things become new. How does things become new? The Holy Spirit.
We're going to read a scripture a little bit later on about that. But in this scripture, Jesus says, and in Hebrews, I'm going to give you another scripture, Hebrews 13, 5. says this, I will never, well, let's read that one because it's in there. Don't love money, be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you. He says, there's so much in that, but the money part's not my message. So thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving them revelation on that.
But Jesus says this, or this writer in Hebrews says, never will he leave us, never will he forsake us. Why? How?
Because of the Holy Spirit. When we become born again, we have the Holy Spirit, the presence of God on the inside of us. I'm gonna break that down in just a moment.
This is the truth, right? The Holy Spirit is in us. The Holy Spirit is with us, in us, around us, empowering us, guiding us every step of the way.
Amen. Now let's read 1 Thessalonians 5 and 23. I love scripture.
It says, "'Now may the God of peace.'" the God of peace, the God of peace, make you holy in every way. And may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
So the Holy Spirit works in three parts of our being. I was gonna get all dramatic this morning and have different sets of jumpers on that I take off. And Pastor Kyle said, no stripping in church, Pastor Tina.
Those days have been renewed. So I said, okay, Lord, I'll just go and give you an analogy and you can imagine it and all of that. No, no, no, not imagine that.
Imagine the analogy of spirit, soul, and body. Thank you, Michelle. We have a spirit, we have a soul, and we all have a body.
That's what we all have. We are born this way. And each part of ourselves is, plays a unique role.
And when you become born again, the Holy Spirit interacts with each part of your being, with the body, with the soul, and the Holy Spirit. So I'm gonna break this down and give you some more scriptures as well. That's really cool.
So the Holy Spirit gives life to our spirit when we become born again. This allows us to connect with God and experience a spiritual rebirth. You know, we are born again, not as we are born through our mother's womb, but we are born again of spirit, of God's spirit.
Then we have the soul that the Holy Spirit works in. The Holy Spirit works within our soul. Each of us have a soul.
That is our mind, our will, and our emotions. And this is where the Holy Spirit transforms where we are renewed each day, our thoughts and our desires to be more like Christ. And we all need renewal.
We all do. We all need renewal in the mind. There's been many messages and books written about the battlefield is in the mind.
And we do have to renew this mind to truth. We do have to renew our emotions and our will that we choose life and not choose death. That we Choose truth and not deception or lies from the enemy. And this is that constant thing that we do renew, all of us.
We'll break down scripture here later on. Now the body, so we all have a body here on the outside. That's what we all can see is the body.
But even though you see me and I see you and your body, that's not who you are, okay? You are not the outside external of your body. When we are born again, the Holy Spirit empowers our bodies. And our bodies should be serving God, should be surrendered to the promises of God.
And this is where we make decisions with our bodies to live according to the truth and the design and the ways of God. This is where we live in our Christ likeness. This is where we believe We live in purity.
You know, this is where we reside, that we reflect Christ's image through our actions in our external body. Okay? So I've given you a little breakdown.
There's so much more. We'll break it down even more. But three-part being, we all have the Holy Spirit, God's presence, right?
there's a reality in our spirit and our soul and our body. We abide in Christ Jesus, right? When we are born again, we abide in Christ Jesus.
We abide in the reality of Jesus and his finished works when he needed the Holy Spirit to go to the cross. That's a whole nother message. But he needed the Spirit of God.
When Jesus was water baptized, the Holy Spirit descended upon him. Then there is accounts of that Jesus was led by the Spirit. He was tempted in the wilderness.
There's so much in that. But when Jesus went to the cross, he was prepared when he was tempted in the wilderness. He had his moment in the garden, and I believe it was the Holy Spirit at work, because the Holy Spirit had descended upon him, that then led him from his, let this cup pass from me, okay, not your will, not my will, but your will be done, Father.
That was a Holy Spirit moment. That was a renewal moment. That was a moment that Jesus surrendered his soul.
I mean, he was in agony. He had emotion. It was as near death in the garden when Jesus was in the garden.
But then that power at work, the Holy Spirit, he surrendered his body and he said, not me. my will, but your will be done, Father. He went to the cross, he endured all of that, and then he cried out, it is finished.
We have a reality of the finished works of Christ Jesus. Jesus has already secured for us a life that is empowered by the Holy Spirit, empowered by the Holy Spirit. And we live in that finished work.
We don't strive for victory. We abide in victory. You know, this past week we got a, I won't go into detail, but we got some, powerful one-on-one nugget shared from a powerful man of God.
And he said, people struggle with grace because it's the effort aspect, you know? Oh, well, don't be in self-effort or, you know, while we're in grace, there's no effort at all. He said, no, we reside in redeemed effort. My effort is redeemed because of Christ Jesus, right?
And this whole past week, we're finding a place to live and it's just crazy out there. And I'm just like, Lord, I just release myself. Excuse me.
I release myself. from this effort. I redeemed that effort and I cry out, Lord, it is finished.
I became striving. I was striving in it. I was searching.
I was like, and then it's like, you know what? You know what? I redeemed this effort because Jesus, you said, it is finished.
Holy Spirit, lead us. And we were somewhere yesterday. It's like, boom, lease.
I'm like, peeking over the sign. Oh, I like this. Ticks all the boxes cheaper than what we've been looking for.
Somebody knows the property manager sent an email and I'm like, glory, hallelujah. I just had to redeem my effort and just, okay, lead me, Holy Spirit. Anyway, so good.
And I believe that he's gonna manifest, amen. But the how of the Holy Spirit, let's take a look at how the Holy Spirit interacts with our spirit, soul, and body. And this is the part that I was gonna do three different jumpers.
Then I was like, oh, I don't wanna pay $300 for that. We gotta get my hair done anyway. So imagine I had an outer jumper that represented the body.
And this is the part, as I said, everyone sees. You know, the body here, you know, it protects. You know, we've got the skin. Everything has a function, you know, in the body.
I'm not going to go into all that. But our body allows us to interact with the world physically through actions, through words, and also through choices. The body, you know, as I said, is what everyone sees.
The body alone cannot fulfill God's purpose for us. We all are called to the Great Commission. Every single one of us are called to the Great Commission.
Go and make disciples, baptizing and teaching them in the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit. But the body alone cannot fulfill this and live this out. It's like a jumper without warmth.
Although it serves a purpose, it is incomplete. But when the Holy Spirit is in us, the Holy Spirit lives. empowers us, I had another thought, empowers us in our bodies to serve God.
This is where we walk in righteousness and carry out the works of the kingdom. That's the body. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live in a way that honors God with our body.
Our actions, our decisions, our relationships reflects His love and His grace. By abiding in the finished works of Jesus means that we are not striving to earn God's favour. We already have God's favour.
When He made you righteous, how does He make you righteous? His Spirit that quickens our mortal bodies. But we live in a reality that He has already provided everything that we need to live righteously before Him.
Now let's talk about the soul. The soul represents our mind, our will, and our emotions. This is the inner life that influences everything that we do.
Think of a computer. There's an operating system in a computer, right? You've got the outer part of the computer. You've got the operating system of the computer.
And in the soul, it runs the decisions that we make, the thoughts that we have, and how we feel. Our soul is where the battle takes place, where we choose to yield to the Holy Spirit, or we can follow worldly desires. We can think and be deceived in this realm. Deception can come into the soulish realm and deceive.
And without the Holy Spirit, our soul operates under the influence of what the Bible refers to as flesh. As flesh. And flesh will lead us away from the Spirit of God.
Flesh wants to lead us away from the truth of God, the promise of God. And it creates confusion and misalignment with God. But when the Holy Spirit works within our soul, He renews our mind, transforms our emotions, and aligns our will with God's will.
Aligns our will because we are free will human beings, right? God is such a good God and a just God. He's like, I'm not a dictator.
I'm a God of love. And I'm still gonna give you choice in your life. He gives us instructions of do not do or do.
The book of Proverbs is filled with probably every answer to every relationship problem, financial problem, marital problem. I recommend highly read a proverb a day. Today is what?
Today. The 29th of June, read Proverbs 29 today. Tomorrow, read Proverbs 30 or 31.
I don't know how many days are in the month. And then July 1st, read Proverbs 1. So whatever day that is, I recommend to read the book of Proverbs for that day.
It is wisdom for your life, okay? That was a side note. But we need to align our will to God's will because we are free will agents today.
God is saying, you choose. And we have to align our soul to choosing the ways of God, choosing the truth of God. Now, how does the Holy Spirit work in our soul?
Well, the Holy Spirit renews our minds, helping us to think according to God's truth. Let's go to Romans 12 and two. Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person.
How? By changing the way you think. By changing the way you think.
Transform you into a new person. How? Transforming you into By the way, changing the way that you think. How do I change the way that I think?
You surrender trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, strength. Do not lean to your own understanding. Your understanding is the way that you think.
The way that you perceive. the way that you process it. Don't lean to your understanding and all your ways, acknowledge Him.
How do you acknowledge Him? Lord, what would you have me to do? Holy Spirit, help me.
Holy Spirit, transform this. Holy Spirit, show me the truth in your word. Holy Spirit, who can I go to and talk this out?
Because my thinking is leading me into a constant cycle and the cycle repeats every single month. I wanna break this cycle. Lord, what would you have me to do?
Acknowledging him. What does it say after that? And he, well, not the scripture, and he will direct your path.
Proverbs 3, 5, and 6. Acknowledging him, Lord, what would you have me to do? Holy Spirit, help me.
And he will direct your path. How does he direct your path? He teaches you.
He reminds you. All that the Holy Spirit is, our strengthener, our standby, our helper, the Holy Spirit will help you. Let's break this down even more.
In our mind, this is where the Holy Spirit heals our emotions. You know, some of us, if not all of us, we all go through things in life. Some of us have been through some very extreme traumas in life.
But you know what? We have an advocate. We have a savior.
We have a healer. We have a spirit at work on the inside of us and his healing is as if he mends with stitches. It is a spiritual work by powerful being on the inside of you that is so supernatural that begins to take place.
You have to release it to him so that he can heal those areas. And oftentimes it comes through wise counsel. You know, the Bible says that in a multitude of counselors, we have good success.
Success in what? Everything. Business, healing, everything, relationship, everything.
But we need to put our faith in God. Faith in God is key here. Faith is not believing in our own abilities to make things happen, but in the reality of Jesus' finished works.
He's done it already. And we must trust in His work to allow the Holy Spirit to align our soul with His truth, not striving, but abiding in His completed work. Amen?
Now let's talk about the Spirit. Yeah, good, okay. Amen. Talk about the Spirit.
And this is where I was gonna take off the body jumper and then have a white jumper underneath the butt, you know. But then we have our Spirit. This is the innermost part of our being.
You know, our Spirit, I like to say, is the closest to our heart. The Holy Spirit is the closest to our heart. And... You know, the Spirit is, like I said, our innermost being.
It's the deepest layer of who we are. You know, the Spirit is hidden. It's the core of our being.
It's in our spirit that we connect with God, right? When we are born again, the book of Ephesians, it says, you know, that we are seated in a heavenly realm with Christ Jesus. Joint heirs.
You know, it's like, I see you today, us that are born again, and I believe we are all. You see me here today, but we are seated in a heavenly realm. You know, like when I FaceTime my sister, she's in the U.S., she's seated in the U.S., but I can see her right here. Same as you and I, we are seated in a heavenly realm with Christ Jesus.
That's a whole nother message there. Rabbit trails. The Spirit is hidden.
It's the core of our being. This is where we connect with God. And this is where the Holy Spirit dwells.
And without the Holy Spirit, we cannot truly live in this Christian life. We would be like a jumper that looks nice, but has no warmth. Have you ever had a jumper or a jacket that it looked nice, maybe it was lightweight, but it provided no warmth for you? The Holy Spirit is our life source.
like a battery to a computer, you know? The computer has the external system, the operating system, but it has to be connected to a power source. Same with us.
Our power source is the Holy Spirit within us. that empowers us to live eternally, that empowers us to be transformed into Christ-likeness so that we can experience the fullness of Christ Jesus. And this is where we live in communion with the Father.
Sitting here taking communion, we do it in the remembrance of Jesus. What are we remembering? Allow the Holy Spirit to show you In those moments of taking communion to lead you, to commune with the Father, to have conversations with the Father and remember what Jesus has done.
Amen. So let's talk about how the Holy Spirit works within our spirit. Timmy, the scripture, is there a version that says that quickens our mortal bodies in the scripture?
If not, I'll roll with this. Yes. All right.
Ephesians 2 and 1. He says, and you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. Romans, let's go to Romans 8 and 11.
Thank you. That's the one that I wanted. That's a good one as well in Ephesians 2 and 1.
We were dead. Okay, thank you. All right, the same Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives on the inside of you.
And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by the same Spirit living within you. Some versions say that He quickens our mortal bodies. Look at that. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells within you.
I looked up that word quicken in the Hebrew. And there's a Hebrew word, C-H-A-Y-A-H, meaning to live, to restore and to revive, to restore to life and revive. There's a Greek meaning that means to be made alive and to impart life.
There's so many other scriptures that align with that as well. But His Spirit, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is the same Spirit on the inside of you. So when sickness comes, I just had the flu.
I was down. I was praying. And normally I have a call for weeks, but I said not this time in Jesus' name.
But we can... proclaim and know that the Spirit of God, the same powerful Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is on the inside of us. So that when sickness and disease comes, we can say, you know what? I am healed because I have the same Spirit of Jesus on the inside of me.
I have this power that is at work on the inside of me. Amen. But the Holy Spirit quickens our spirit, brings us to life, fills us with the presence of God, helps us to grow in intimacy and communication with the Father.
And it's through His Spirit that we experience God's love. that we experience God's love, a love that covers, a love that heals, a love that restores, a love that, yeah, thank you, Lord, covers a multitude of sins, His love. And we are enabled to walk in His righteousness and in His power.
So now let's look at how all of these functions work together. Patty spoke last week and he was talking about we are to walk in the Spirit so we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. That we walk in the Spirit.
So we have a Spirit, we have a soul, we have a body. The Holy Spirit works from the inside out. When the Spirit is alive in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit transforms the soul and in turn the soul will influence our bodies.
Without the Holy Spirit in our spirit, our soul and body will be disconnected from God's will. And when we abide in the finished works of Christ, we recognize that we walk in the Spirit in a finished work realm, in a realm of victory, in a realm of truth. We tread on scorpions and snakes.
We have an authority. Why do we have an authority? Because of the Spirit of God that is truth, that is life on the inside of us.
How are we protected? Psalms 91 protected, because of the Spirit of God that surrounds us. Do you get it?
We have the biggest set up in history I mean, you talk about setups and all this stuff in the natural realm. We have the biggest, the greatest, the most powerful setup ever, ever. Not only do you have a power on the inside of you that gives you the authority and that you can walk in the Spirit, that you can renew your mind, that you can use your body to choose God's way and fulfill God's purpose, but we walk in victory because of Jesus.
We walk in an effort that is redeemed because of Jesus. The biggest setup ever, the greatest setup ever in history, Jesus going to the cross. We no longer strive to gain victory, we abide. We abide in a reality the Holy Spirit enables us.
Just as the Holy Spirit enabled Jesus when He went to the cross, You know, Jesus performed his miracles. It was after he went to the cross. After he went, no, he performed miracles after he was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
That's when he performed miracles and started his ministry. Let's go to Galatians 3 and 5. This is a very cool scripture here.
Ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not. It's because you believe the message you have heard about Christ Jesus. Does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles?
You see that? The Holy Spirit, the working of miracles. It's not because you obey the law.
It's not because you do good to get good. It's not because you do everything right in your own effort. No, it's because you believe the message.
You believe truth. What truth? About Christ and the finished works.
Amen? Oh my goodness, thank you, Jesus. The Great Commission in Matthew 28, 19 and 20, it says this.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. How? Yep, teach them, teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I've given you and be sure of this, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
How? The Holy Spirit. How do I teach them to obey the Holy Spirit?
How do I go and make disciples of the Holy Spirit and truth? And know that no matter what it looks like, no matter what it feels like, no matter what, He is with you always, even until the end of the age. You know, there's wars.
You know, I thought we're gonna have a World War III, and I was like, ooh, Jesus, come on. Come, Lord Jesus, come. You know, earthquakes everywhere.
I'm an earthquake tracker, it's weird. I don't know. Earthquakes everywhere, you know?
But he is with us. It's exciting to me because this is the greatest time right now to go and teach them, to tell them about Jesus, to tell them about Jesus, to let them know Jesus loves you. Jesus gave his life for you so that they then can have the same spirit and their spirit, soul, and body that does all of this that I ministered and taught you about today.
We are never shortchanged, church. Romans 3, 5, and 6 in the message translation said, we're never shortchanged. No, no, no, let me back up.
It says, there is more to come. We cannot round up enough containers that's gonna hold all that the Holy Spirit does and pours out into your life because you are never, ever shortchanged. Go and read that scripture.
Meditate on this week. If you're feeling shortchanged in life, read that scripture. That is truth.
We are never shortchanged. Our grandmothers was hoarders of containers, Tupperware and all of that. You know, you had a grandma like that.
Come on, yeah. Some of us may be a hoarder of Tupperware in containers. The thing about all the containers, we cannot round up enough containers to fill all that the Holy Spirit is gonna pour into our lives and do in our lives and do within us and do through us.
You can't measure it because he's unmeasurable. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
We are to honor God with our bodies, renew our mind to truth. There's nothing worse than the battle of the mind. Been there, battled, cycles, cycles, every month cycle, every month cycle.
We've got to change our thinking. We've got to renew our minds. We've got to settle the issues when it comes to what we watch or what we do or how we conduct ourselves or what we do with our bodies.
I had a teenager one time, she was a teenager in the Bronx, New York, and I loved that season of our life because, man, they were real. These inner city kids were real, and they asked some questions, and her question was, well, why can't I not have premarital sex? Does God not want me to have something good that feels good?
And I'm like, no, honey. God wants you to steward your body so that you do good with your body so that you don't have issues. He's a protector of your body.
And when you are giving your body to someone that may not be anyone in your life, then you could get hurt. You could get hurt. You could get hurt.
But when you wait and give your body and do it the right way before God, to someone that is a someone in your life, man, you don't have to go through that. Just like a father wants for their son or a mother for their daughter, they want good for you. God wants good for us.
So he's saying, Ben, be mindful of what you do with your body. Be mindful of your actions. Choose life.
Choose life. Don't choose the binge of alcohol. Choose life. Choose truth.
Break that cycle. Don't go to the pokies when you need the dopamine rush. Choose life.
Choose him. Choose him. Choose truth.
I don't know why that was not in my notes. I'm sorry. Thank you, Jesus.
Somebody in podcast land needed to hear that. But it's true. Does God not want me to have fun?
He wants you to have fun in him. Trust me. The greatest joy, the greatest peace, the greatest fun is in him.
Amen. Not in the world, not in alcohol, not in sex, drugs, alcohol, all of that. It's in Him.
A lot of us have stories of before Christ Jesus. You know, maybe we've given our bodies to nobodies. But God redeems it.
He redeems it. When you put it before Christ Jesus, He redeems it. When you've made the worst mistake of your life and you're like, man, it's over for me. He redeems that too.
Because remember, we're never shortchanged. And what he makes righteous, he calls righteous. Never does he remove righteousness.
And this condemnation that's out in Christian land, it has to go. When bad things happen, you did not make those bad things happen. God does not punish us for our mistakes.
Now, if we go and rob a bank, there's natural consequences to that. But even in those natural consequences, when we repent, repentance is nothing more than changing our ways, changing our thoughts, turning away from. And the moment we turn away from that, redemption.
And then we can see His favor, His mercy. He's a merciful God. Sometimes it's not about justice, it's about mercy.
Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Well, Father, I thank you. I just thank you. I don't know what else to say other than thank you, Lord.
Just thank you. Thank you for your Holy Spirit. Because you know, I went to Pastor Kyle before this and I said, I can't preach.
I'm gonna give you my notes. But I thank you, Holy Spirit, that you empower us. And I just thank you that I know that truth has went forward and I just thank you for that truth.
And I declare that beyond what I've said, beyond how this has been presented, I thank you that people will grasp a hold of your truth and that your Holy Spirit will empower them to live out the reality of Christ Jesus, the reality of we are in the likeness of Christ Jesus, that we have been made righteous. If you're struggling with something, maybe that issue is not settled, keep declaring to yourself, I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. And that will renew your mind.
I can assure you that will transform your soul because it's truth. So I thank you, Holy Spirit, that you filled every part of our being, that you lead us and you guide us into truth, Father, that we can walk in your spirit, that we can walk according to the spirit. But the Holy Spirit has to dominate the flesh and the body.
And we need to know truth. We need to know you, Jesus. We need to know your truth and your promises.
For it is the lack of knowledge, it's the lack of knowing you, Jesus, that people are being destroyed. And I just declare no more in Jesus' name. no more to the deception, no more to the being destroyed, no more to the being tossed to and throw.
We are victorious. I thank you for that power that is at work on the inside of us. I thank you that you transform our bodies, our soul, our spirit.
I thank you that we are never shortchanged, that we have all that we need in Christ Jesus. And Father, I give you glory for it all. It's in the mighty name of Jesus I pray.
Amen and amen and amen.
