following program is sponsored by the havel open door church yet all open door church is committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church i shared last week about the fire of god i've been talking about the fire of god and we did the two weeks before that we had something was baptized with fire and it got consumed by the fire and we should be consumed by the fire when we talk about is the baptism the holy spirit  but we should want it if we don't understand what it is what it looks like and we got this idea of all these things are going to talk about some of that for a little bit but jesus is the baptizer the holy spirit and that's good enough for me  to figure it out let me see if i really want with jesus has to offer we offer is loved you have to figure that out he offers mercy and you have to figure that out or you take whatever he has the are for you i want whatever he has to offer so he said matthew levitt is says that he is going to baptize the holy spirit and fire then it says in acts one four five and eight as says gathered together he commanded them to not leave jerusalem but to wait for what were they supposed to wait for what the father had promised which he said you heard from me so there wait for i promise that is supposed to be given to all jesus commanded them to stay what about the ones that didn't stay he is jesus he just the man he just rose from the dead i mean why do we should we listen and he rose from the dead you do know that people rejected jesus after he rose from the dead and so the comes a place of jesus command something if god says something and he uses  people i beg of you to do this what should we do should we not do it the thousand the weight he says which you heard from me and then he says for job baptized with water but you'll be baptized with the holy spirit and many days from now so you're going to be baptized with all the spirit and they all shouted say what is that does it say they said that you don't know what they said but don't you think there's probably so he says well what is that what is that and if you know jesus the as jesus certain times who's going to be on your right side is going to left size is not for you to know when he said what is that he probably says don't worry don't worry if i told you all wrong but tell you tons of fire go to land on you you're probably wrong but told you peter you're going to preach to three thousand over three thousand people three thousand get say and you going to tell him they killed jesus peter said i don't think i need that baptism the holy spirit i don't think he told him be my witness both in jerusalem and all of your days the married into the remotest part of the year or so he says that the power is going to come upon them they're going to do what they're going to witness and we're going to witness rare ever so all they had to know was we want to do this with bobby you come here bobbie you got to cooperate no you don't you don't cooperate it's ok service regardless ok what is the next one say holy spirit is called come upon your with what he's still trying to overcome you're trying to overcome something when if you let the holy spirit come upon you then he will overcome the something for you and so there comes a place he's and he's in he's a gentleman in this he i didn't live there at the time i just go there once a week because they only needed jesus on fridays because when all the christians went out on fridays you're on capitol hill geez christian on fridays saturdays never without any other time of the week on the streets because the people i need him on fridays and saturdays i guess so the holy spirit convicted me and says you know why you only go on once a week they need jesus any time whenever you're free you should go so i want to find people to go with me and lot of people couldn't do it but i go and then i go into a thrift store this is over in kindle or washington i go there and there's this key and looked at he said that's a cool key as i wonder if it's a real key to this really go to a lo answer just buy it i've got tell you do something do it because sometimes you don't tell you why you know i don't tell you why you won't do it he says get the keys so i get the key and when he said it to me it wasn't audible voice or the i was just an impression you got to get the key you had i drove away because i'm kind of cheap i forget what it was because more than i want to pay i think was twelve dollars that's more than i want to pay maybe it's worth two hundred dollars i paid twelve dollars for so all of a sudden my flesh so i think that's a good idea not being about maybe god has a different idea so i get it put on my mantle and he says i want to start where in the capitol hill wearable he didn't care for look like a weirdo so i used to wear it i used to wear it like this and can walk on my side and people say once they go that's the key to seattle i says no all is the key is jesus  the key to get to the heart of god has what in seattle have the are for you have is much better side here the gospel with them i didn't quit i didn't quit ok and out of that we could share the lore with people share the gospel god took something for me to do and guess what he's a gentleman but he pushed pretty strong about it he's a gentleman but he'll push you and if you let him he'll overcome you and i want to tell you something i don't believe in a lot of the slain a spirit stuff but i have seen people come up with a drug habit come to the altar and people pray for them and they pull all out on the floor down on the floor and  i remember specific knew him for many many years he could not get up from the floor he tried to get up but he couldn't get up and god spoke to him i'm not done with you i've got more surgery to do with you and he tried to get up and at the time we was holding him down and none of us were holding him down we're just and they're praying for him but he was holding him down because none of us held you down is what i try to get up and then god says that you couldn't get up and he left all do you understand salvation really truly do you really do you understand heaven how many here know what heaven looks like by the bible does it tell us everything does it tell us hospital how about the people in the in the next bed about the people the next room how many of you are sharing that i can list all the different ways and here's the truth of the matter we don't witness as much as we should this be hon well part of it is you try to do it on your own strange thing you're trying to do with your own personality and trying to do it with your ability you're probably not going to do it because adelle is going to tell you're not going to out them could tell you don't know what you're talking about you you need to go to bible college or devil says you know you live this way so you can't stand on a platform or witness if they're filled with the holy spirit most people at all believe what i say i am a shy guy i am shy as can be we went to a party the other week and you know what we just did in the corners and hope nobody talks to me sleep that's me but when i'm walking in the spirit that stuff doesn't bother me and sometimes it's called i go out and when i go out the god fills me up spirit and i sing with my mind is says that speaking in tongues is your praying and speaking to god not to man and if you look at all the context here is the truth of the matter big get all caught up in the times but situation i will pray and because it says that when you're praying in tongues you're praying in the spirit and the spirit in you is praying and i'm going to figure it all out god will take care of all that and so there's a purpose for taz of us to look this up as the religion and swap that out for jesus when you're building overflowing with the holy spirit you have the village to share the gospel our boldness and clarity if you want to be able to be a better witness for jesus by the life that you live by the words that you speak tongs if three out of four times in spoken tongues what might happen when you get baptized with the holy spirit but might happen i want to hear from your mouth if three out of four times people are ba ok there comes a place where you participate with god they praise god i'm not ashamed to out of four times they praise god they were not ashamed and some of these happen together at the same time so they praise god not ashamed what do you mean by that that when you're baptized with the holy spirit you're not ashamed of jesus and you'll praise him anywhere god heals you you praise and wherever you're at you don't care what people around  her simon the magician simon was of one who practiced magic he accepts jesus into his life and so he is born again he has a spirit of god in him it's in the town of the merriest the marian is jews and gentiles the bread together and they came up to be the most americans they were praying for the people the people get baptized in the holy spirit and it doesn't say what happened just says they were filled with the spirit it doesn't say what happened we don't know what happened but simon saw you know he said i want to buy what you guys got i wanted to be that i can buy what you have so when i've prayed for people to get bad guys and all these fair go do that amazing thing they did we don't know what the mazy thing they did i think i know but let me tell you if there's no evidence of any power in you you're probably not filled with the holy spirit you have the holy spirit living within you but are you fit into the last question is do you want to be filled  do you want the holy spirit to be or it on you do you want the holy spirit to come upon you do you want the gift of the holy spirit do you want to be baptized with all the spirit do you want the problems each of us that asked that question and then what each of us have to do to say why wouldn't i why would i not want it and we could cover all the reasons there's tons of reasons but the in the day if you don't want god is a ge each of us has to say lord am i filled with the holy spirit they have the fullness of god in me and listen to me it's not about putting my costume it's not acting as if your whole deal with the holy spirit it's actually walking in the spirit that's a choice and a saying god here i am then you come to a place where the we are a costume or not the people know there's something different about you yeah you don't suddenly become righteous no son become holy and no more have sin but when you do if you give yourself over the jesus what stops me from wanting more of jesus lord i know i need more of jesus the less of me i need i know i need filled with your holy spirit in a greater way i know that i need more of you working in my life father god and i say i this is best to ridge you need to know jesus christ your lord and savior jesus said behold i stand at the door and not going to be one hears my voice and opens the door i will come in robust and thirteen's as recall
