wonder in my soul Bless, bless His name Come on put your hands, let's go Bless His name Bless His name Bless His name Yeah Lord Bless His name Hallelujah Bless His name Praise the Lord Thank you Gospel of John, let's look today I don't have much time to waste I want to make sure that we encompass everything that the Lord wants us to grab ahold to today From the Gospel of John, chapter number 16 My goodness Let's just look if you will Commence in that verse number 7 Hear of my sickness The sore of my sickness Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Jesus help me Lord Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you But if I depart, I will send him unto you And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin And of righteousness and of judgment Of sin, because they believe not on me Of righteousness, because I go to my father and you see me no more Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now How be it, when he the spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth For he shall not speak of himself, hallelujah But whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak And he will show you things to come He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine And shall show it unto you All things the father hath are mine Therefore said I, that he shall take of mine And shall show it unto you All things that the father hath are mine Therefore said I, that he shall take of mine And shall show it unto you, amen Amen When the spirit of truth is come Jesus said he will guide you into all truth I want to talk about today a gift with gift More, I guess if I had a sub-topic, amen I would talk about the person and the work of the Holy Spirit A gift with gift Since this past third Sunday, a month and a Sunday ago We have done as much as possible To bring some knowledge, additional knowledge to the body of Christ Concerning the person and work of the Holy Spirit For the most part, our denominational churches Not just ours, but many of what we understand to be mainline denominations Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, Church of God and the like Many of them do not deal with the power in their doctrinal pursuits of the Holy Spirit Amen We spend quite a bit of time talking about the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost But most of the time we don't delve into the power of the Holy Spirit Amen You do realize that you can talk about Pentecost and still not embrace the promise of power that came at Pentecost Many scholars will stand on Pentecost Sunday and take a text from Acts chapter 2 And it will be biblically in order and talk about the birth of the church in the earth realm And the Lord did establish the church on the day of Pentecost Amen I need a little help, I just need a little help Amen But not only did he establish the church on the day of Pentecost But he put power in the believer on the day of Pentecost Not only did he establish the church, he put a church in every believer Many times when we study the New Testament we study it with a European mind When we talk about the church we immediately think about bricks and mortar We think about pews and cushions, choirs and pulpits But in Acts chapter 2 none of that was present I need some help here Amen, when the Holy Ghost came he didn't come to build a building He didn't come to establish an organization He came and established a living organism the old preacher would say Amen, he brought power to the believer Now to talk about a pre-Calvary scripture concerning Pentecost might seem a little off Because when we read in John chapter 16 Jesus is on his way to the cross I need some help here this morning Jesus is on his way to die Not to mention having been ascended and 50 days later returned in the person of the Holy Ghost Amen, but in John chapter 14, 15, 16 and on to chapter 17 Is Jesus' farewell discourse Oh you listen, John chapter 14 Jesus said let not your heart be troubled He's telling the boys I'm getting ready to go to the cross He said I've got to go and I've got to die Amen, you remember Peter said Lord be it far from me don't start talking about dying And Jesus said get behind me Satan He said you're talking about things concerning men You're not talking about the things of God I've got to go and number one I've got to pay the ransom for the sin and debt of mankind How are you going to pay it Jesus, I'm going to pay it with my own blood Amen, I'm going to shed innocent blood for a guilty people and I'm on my way Hallelujah, I'm going to die for the sins of humanity And Jesus explains to the fellas that I've got to go Amen, and I won't leave you comfortless Amen, he said I won't leave you Some of your newer translations will say I won't leave you as an orphan Amen, he said I'm going to pray to the father And he's going to send another comforter And Jesus said when he comes Hallelujah, when he comes Amen, he's just not going to be around you Amen, he's not going to be alongside you He said but he's going to be in you Amen, he's not just going to be a paraclete He's just not a paraclete, walk alongside Amen, he's not just going to be alongside you But he said he's going to be in you John chapter 14, verily I say unto you He that believeth on me the works that I shall do also And greater works than these shall you do Because I go unto my father Listen to what Jesus said Jesus said I've got to leave you but I'm going to leave you some power Amen, do we have any power people in the house? I know we got some, hallelujah Praise the lord Amen, I know we got some who still just can't hardly make it Amen, can't hardly get along Amen, amen, you know we used to sing a song It's so hard to get along I just can't hardly get along So y'all don't remember Amen, don't let me take you that far back Amen, but we sang songs that suggested that we were a defeated people Amen, we were just barely making it in Amen, and through music history You'll see that we came from a people of suffering Amen, I'm talking about black folks now Amen, we came through the time of slavery And we came, we still coming if you will Hallelujah Black history of Juneteenth or whatever you want to call it Amen, we come a long way but we got a long way to go Amen, because we suffered as a people who were oppressed So it was, you could find it and hear it in our singing Amen, we were singing about how hard it was to make it You know when you living under that Y'all let me drive on Amen, we are no longer Amen, bound by those same oppressive spirits Amen, Dr. King said free at last Free at last He said thank God Almighty I'm free at last Now when I was coming up they were saying that when somebody would get off the moon Somebody would get saved, they would start singing free at last Thank God, they ain't talking about this natural liberty They talking about spiritual freedom Amen, I done come off, amen and God set me free Amen, from a chains of sin Now people get saved and no change come But when you really get born again Y'all help me I said when you really get born again I ain't talking about coming to church I'm talking about when your dungeon gets shook Amen, when you get saved and been born all over When something really happens down on the inside You free at last Jesus said, come on y'all let go Amen, Jesus said in greater works than these Shall ye do, because I go to my Father How am I going to do it? Cause you'll receive power After the Holy Ghost has come upon you Amen, now they had some power Amen, when Jesus walked in the room He breathed on them And he said receive ye the Holy Ghost Amen, now some people stumble over that But I don't have time for the stumblers today We got to walk Amen, they stumbled He gave them the Holy Ghost when he breathed on them Outside of Bethany Yeah, he gave them some authoritative power Gave them authority Amen, but now in that chapter 2 He moves to another kind of power Yeah, I said he moves to another kind of That's dunamis power Blowing up explosive kind of power So when you get that power You'll be able to do What you saw the apostles do In the early church Amen, you saw them laying hands on the sick And you saw Peter The Bible said that Peter Was walking under the anointment Was so great that when the shadow Passed by people were healed By the apostles shadow Amen, because they were committed To the cause of Christ And they were walking in the power Of the Holy Ghost Amen, most of us spend more time On the perimeter Than we do moving in on the promises Of the Holy Ghost Amen, but he said you shall have Power if you will After the Holy Ghost has come upon you Jesus said if you can ask anything In my name Listen, listen to him in chapter 14 He said I'll do it If you love me Keep my commands Yeah, begin to Tell them I'm not Going to leave you comfortably This is 14 and 18 He said I will Come to you Yet a little while and the world Sees me no more But you see me Because I live You shall Live also And that day Know that I'm in the Father You are in me And I in you He said I'm in the Father The Father's In me And I'm in you Well the question is How did Jesus Get in you Fill up Fill up He didn't get in you Because you shook the preacher's hand Didn't get in you Because you came and sat on a padded pew Amen He came in Is he in there? Hallelujah Is he in there? He came in By the Holy Spirit Are you listening? Amen He that has my commandments and keepeth them He it is that Loves me And he that loves me Shall be loved of my Father And I Love him And I'm in verse 21 And I will manifest Myself To him Manifest Myself What does it mean To manifest Manifestation Is The revelation Of a thing Coming to pass Have you ever Prayed about a thing? Lord said I heard you when you prayed Amen But I haven't seen it yet Scripture said when you keep on praying Keep on standing Keep on Believing And after a while You'll see the Manifestation Of your prayer You'll see your prayer Coming to pass Now As you see in Galatians chapter number 5 The apostle talks about the gift He talks about the fruit Of the spirit The fruit of the spirit Amen Come By the Holy Spirit But the fruit Love, joy, peace, longsuffering Be together The fruit has to be cultivated Amen By every one of us You can't choose which one of them You want to cultivate All nine of them All of them we have to cultivate Longsuffering I cultivate longsuffering Get somebody to get on your nerve Y'all help me drive Somebody you love That kind of bugs you a little And you can't get rid of them But you know what's happening He's helping you cultivate the fruit of longsuffering Well you got to go through And endure so we all have to cultivate All nine of those fruits But when we go to Paul's letter to the Corinthians He talks about The gift Of the spirit Are manifested When they are Manifested He begins to list The gifts Healing, miracle Tongues Interpretation of tongues Discerning of spirit All of these are gifts In manifestation Now you can covet the best gifts But the gifts Are administered By the Holy Ghost He does the choosing We don't have a choice About the fruit We all got to handle the fruit But the Holy Ghost deals with The gifts Say Amen Amen Now the introduction Let's go through Yeah Y'all laugh I'm serious Now When we look in the gospel of John Chapter 16 I mentioned that This is Jesus farewell Message is here And John Deals quite a bit About the truth Wanting Us to understand The truth Jesus is the way Truth All of that Is in Jesus Now I want to look today At the gift That the spirit Of God Brings to us And they are Many The spirit of God Are the ministry Of the Holy Spirit Amen it's really The gift That's given to fallen And now redeemed Humanity Comes To help us To see Jesus More clearly The Holy Spirit helps us To understand Who Jesus Is When you hear him Tell the disciples It's expedient unto you It is necessary For you That I go to my Father Because if I Don't go to my Father He cannot come Jesus said It is Desperately necessary That he comes Because when I'm gone He is going to be In you You hear the boys Crying Lord Why you got to leave He said I got to go He said well Where you going Jesus said where I'm going I can't even explain That to you now Amen because they didn't have understanding They said well if you're going How we know The way Jesus I can tell you that I'm the way I'm the only way I ain't no other way You just got You got the Jesus is the way Oh glory to God Amen They said well Thomas said well Lord Show us the Father We heard about him The God of Abraham Hallelujah Isaac and Jacob We heard about him From the beginning My God Jesus I feel alright now I can tell you Jesus said if you search the scriptures He said Search the law The Psalms and the Prophets He said they do testify Of me Jesus said you're talking About show us the Father Hallelujah And the Jesus said alright He said Show us the Father Jesus said listen He said if you've seen me Oh You've seen the Father He said I and my Father Are one You can't have one Without the other Hallelujah You got some organizations That want the Father and don't want no part Of the Son And then you got others who want the Son But don't want no part of the Holy Ghost But I want to tell you He's not a pie You can't slice him up I said you can't cut The part you want Hallelujah And leave the rest behind Hallelujah I remember when I was getting ready to preach My first sermon I'm going to be a little longer today Because I got a lot to say Amen When I got ready to preach my first sermon I had been saved a little while I had been in the Word a little while I went to Pastor James I said hey man I don't know what to say I said I don't know which one I don't know where to start And he said He said well son Preach what the Lord gave you I said he gave me a lot But I don't know which one Hear what he said At that hour you'll know I said alright Then he When I became pastor I said man I don't know about being no pastor And he said Hey what you do He said you preach it all He said don't try to divide it up He said preach it from Genesis To Revelation He said if you preach from Genesis To Revelation you won't skip your sin And preach the people's sin Hallelujah He said if you preach it all You'll cover it all But you can't slice this thing up And eat the part that you want Amen Can I drive My mama was from the country Praise the Lord she's asleep now And she would buy a water mill My daddy was from downtown Mobile So he was anti the country stuff She would buy a water mill And drop it on the counter And it would bust Number one my daddy would get mad Because he was supposed to cut a water mill But she would take her hand And dig the Dig the heart out And you could throw the rest of it Away But you can't do Jesus Like a water mill Bust him and take the part Out that you want That's what we get in trouble When we preach prosperity When we preach things Because if you don't preach it all You won't know what to do when a little trouble comes Amen When you have plenty of things But trouble is still going to come But when you grab hope Good God almighty Amen to all of them You'll be able to I'm still going to preach it Let it sit out here Amen Amen Yeah you got to eat it all Now Jesus explains The ministry of the Holy Spirit Amen And I believe it was One of the theologians He said that Jesus will be the sum And substance Of the Spirit's Revelatory Ministry The work of the Holy Spirit Is to reveal And glorify Jesus Christ The Holy Ghost Reveals What we know And he'll also reveal What we don't know When you see Jesus when he said And he will show you Things to come So many Christians Are now are living beneath The privilege of the power Of the Holy Spirit Few more people All say Amen Because when you got The Holy Ghost You don't have to trust Your five senses Amen I need some help
