following program is sponsored by the you have all open door church yet all open door church is committed to living god loving people and loving life so we are starting lesson twelve baptism of the holy spirit so if you look at a lesson it says if a person wants to live a victorious overcoming life that is not controlled by the past they need to let god have full control god the father god the son and the god the holy spirit needs to be in charge of their life not themselves they need to walk in the fullness of the holy spirit be filled god's holy spirit be baptized in the holy spirit and they cause what a great we need to have god to take full control of our lives if you want to walk in the victory when a person is still for the wounds of the past that become vessels of honor for the kingdom of god they can have a powerful testimony their desert places can become a garden for others they can be used by god in a powerful way an amazing way god can give them boldness to share about their past and testify to the healing power of god when we get healed of the past we overcome the past we walk in  victorious overcoming life then those things of the past that haunted us that tonto does that cause us to make a lot of bad choices to deal with the past when we get healed from it those desert places become gardens for others and what we mean by that is that what you've experienced through all that hardship all those trials all that pain all that suffering and you get through it then somebody else that has those kind of experiences what can you do for them be a lesson for them you can help them you can you can say hey i've been through that i know what there is to be victory and what'll happen is if you understand the victory you have then you become bold to let others know your past because your past is no longer your past is not who you are so you can bowl the speak about your past not be worried about people think about you because you've had the victory those are baptized by the holy spirit not afraid to talk about the wounds of the past they're not afraid to talk about their shortcomings failures sins of the past they are not fearful of man those truly baptize all these people walk in summarize in that one if you're filled with god's holy spirit you're baptized god's holy spirit your knight did by god you're not going to fear of people do think you're more concerned about what god thinks than with people think and that you will start to walk in purity in holiness there's a many people with that yeah ok and so out of it is that happens is that there's something that goes on this starts to change your life people that say well i'm already filled with the holy spirit if you're already filled with the holy spirit but you're justifying your sin then you're not f god's holy spirit your fill is something else because it shouldn't be a justification for sin there should be acknowledgment the sin your life does it say when you're baptized with the holy spirit that you'll never sin it doesn't say that when you stop sinning basis that violates god's word that if you feel god's spirit is say you know what you're right and i need to repent of it you don't say well mind your own business and we all sin because if you say we all sin you're trying to excuse your sin god you're not going to be excusing sin if a person will apply the biblical symbols taught in the movie beyond the pass course they would come free from bondage that have occurred in their life from past experiences and unhealthy choices they've made because of past experiences their experience deliver their life so we've gone through that eleven lessons several several several weeks on those lessons talking about various principles and what we're saying is if you apply the principles that has been in the course you actually applied your walk in forgiveness you become aware of enter bals that you may you know longer want to have better root judgments and expectancies saying that you know because i was abused by my dad you can't trust any man because a woman cheated on me you can't trust women when you break all that stuff off and you walk  forgiveness and you turn around and say i want to chase after god i want to get closer to god when you do those things you're going to start experience deliverance in your life it automatically will start to happen there is that many individual not me taint or victory or the ones that passed the sins of the past the poor choice of the past is they do not maintain the victory they have through jesus christ how many believe that's true somebody gets set free for something and then they go right back into it the reason they go back into it is because they didn't maintain their victory there's a part that you have to maintain your victory so good god miraculously deliver somebody from drugs absolutely but does that mean when you deliver you from drugs you walk down the drug out it with the guy selling the dope that you used to bot is that victory probably not a good idea this foolishness ok so if you're walking a true victory there's certainly does it choices and decisions you make so that you don't lose your victory in order to maintain that freedom that jesus has given them they need to allow god to fully reign in their life they need to walk in the spirit they need to be filled with the holy spirit to be baptized the holy spirit we're not talking about being born again or saved we're talking about walking in the fullness of god and going forwards backwards every christian should be filled baptized in the holy spirit inventors the power to walk in victory over sin and to walk in boldness not ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ so if your fill of god's holy spirit you're baptized with god's holy spirit you're anointed with god's holy spirit whatever  you want to use did there should be that you start to have obvious victory over sin in your life you should be known as a person that has the victory over sin does that mean you're never going to sin no but when you do sin again you repent of it it also should be some kind of energy within you should there be an excitement what god has done in your life and when you're baptized and filled the holy spirit the automatic revelation of that the raw automatic revealing of that is is that you're not ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ every single bible verse that talks about people being put in the holy spirit being poured out on them being filled being anointed is that there was a boldness to share the gospel of jesus christ so individuals can be born again they could be saved they can be born again for years and years but if you're not walking on the power of god then your testimony is weakened because you're again you don't have the power of god in you to the place that you're overcome your fears and your challenges how me know that some of us are more quiet more more quiet some us are shy how you know some of our very outspoken that's not talking about this you're baptized holy spirit not a person is baptized the holy spirit does not have to be going around  all the time it doesn't mean you have to do that ok but it should be that when you have an opportunity to be able to share debt you're walking in the boldness of god in such a way that you don't miss that opportunity to be able to share and we talk more about that in a moment so the baptism of the holy spirit where the phrase is used we have on the bottom of page one it says baptized in him with the holy spirit if you go to page two is the spirit coming on earth falling upon you go on page three is this spirit poured out if you go to the page forces receive in the spirit is at the bottom the page has the gift of god a gift of the holy spirit if you go to page five it says filled with the holy spirits if you go to page six is this promise of the father of the holy spirit all those are the same thing we looked through the verses before if you look at all the verses there's five pages of verses there and if you look at all those verses they're all talking about the same event and if you look at it that same event was taking place rather somebody just got born again or somebody's been born again for a while some people  weren't water baptized it happened to gentiles it happened to the jews so it is something that was available for everyone and we're going to do now is kind of break it down and do the actual study of what's the number one what is the baptism in the holy spirit letter a the baptism holy spirit being filled with the holy spirit is the fulfillment of jesus word concerning the promise of the father luke twenty four forty nine and behold i am sitting forth the promise my father upon you but you're to stay into the city if you but you're to stay in this city into your clothed with power from on high so in luke twenty four how many luke twenty four as before acts the twenty four as when jesus was in earth and acts jesus is since and would be just before trick question i was waiting for somebody to raise their hand no i did it because here is what we say why had a father but he wasn't around you still had a father ok so if you had a father have any had brothers or sisters and a father ok if the father is a good father does he love his children the same does he love them the same ok so if our heavenly father is a good father does he love all of his children the same discipline so the heavenly father he loves all of us the saying so if the gift of the holy spirit is a promise from god and we're talking about not being born again separate a separate thing if the gift of the father is the promise of pouring out the holy spirit baptize a piece of the holy spirit if he's a good father that he would give that to everyone or would he say certain people don't qualify and so we're going to look at as we look at as we study it and see that the gift of the holy spirit as as being baptized for those prayers for everyone because it's a promise from the father and it's a baptism with power is jesus is the one who baptized with the holy spirit and through this experience the kingdom of god is manifest in our lives so the baptism it says here is that you're going to be clogged with power from on high the power comes from who comes from god does it come from you know it comes from god so god the father says that what i'm going to do is that the holy spirit is going to be poured upon you and that when the holy spirit part upon you that you are going to walk in power so the question you ask yourself am i walking in power and if i am not walking in power i may be born again but i feel with the holy spirit and what is walking in power me power does that mean that you do a bunch of miracles and that there's going to be all these manifestations of show you're walking on power but the mocking of power is if there's sin here and there's temptation here and that there is god's will here if i baptize of the holy spirit and walk in that in one thousand of god am i going to go to sin i'm not going to i'm going to choose the right way because i'm filled with god's power if i'm filled with god's power god's power is not going to take me in in this  and if i feel god's power if i stumble into sin ok i don't think you stumble into sin but say you've stumbled into sin say that you didn't realize it and you walk into the house of those twenty nude women there and you didn't know it ok so if i stumble into us then i knock on the door and i'm going to in fact give an example is that when we are knocking at the mold tells that we're all over on pack highway where their love was a lot of drugs and prostitution we brought some people with us and were given out little care packages and a knock on the door a guy asked the door they're doing cocaine dead eyed now stumble into some sin absolutely was i looking for it absolutely not so then that happens then if i'm baptized and fill out the holy spirit then i don't turn around and says oh hey what are you guys doing can i join the party ok now you say well no christian would do that and i hate to tell you i know many a people have  who have done those very things because they have been involved in that in that fleshly part of ms have been killed yet and they go back again and you say what they never were born again well you are god you know they were born again you decided that for them a lot of people just aren't walking in god's anointed page number seven let her be the best his and the holy spirit is a distinct and separate act of god from being baptized into christ by the holy spirit our born again experience into the body of christ his church so we're saying there's two different things you're baptized into the church of god when you accept jesus christ when you accept christ are you part of the church the big church the capital c church absolutely we're saying that being baptized of the spirit is separate to that and i'll give you the examples glacier's three twenty seven for all of you who are baptize of christ of clothe yourself with christ so when we get ead bodily with that means jesus is the representation in the physical realm is the representation of the father to son in the holy spirit so i have christ within me i have god the father god the son god the holy spirit does that mean that i have   billet to say no to sin absolutely and we're not even talking about being baptized in the holy spirit we're just talking about being born again we have the ability prescriptions twelve thirteen for by one spirit we're all baptized in one body whether jews or greeks whether slaves are free and we're all made to drink of one spirit so when we're born again we receive the holy spirit into our life immediately ok but person as a separate experience of them being filled with baptized  spirit and will look more at it and then or see the holy spirit baptize us into christ but jesus baptize us in the holy spirit when this occurs we are told they filled a surrounded by god so when jesus is water baptized is says that ok so if he's going to baptize you with holy spirit and fire who's the one that baptize you in the holy spirit jesus is ok it says that on the on the on the day of pentecost in the upper room of the holy spirit came down and it says it came down as what tongues of fire the same reference that was after they were born again as a separate experience the phrase baptism of the spirit means to be a mist in a relationship with the holy spirit we've talked before that when you look at the word baptism i don't have a cup but if i had a cup when is the cup baptized when it's immersed and wot overflowing ok in til then it's not baptized there has to be something that's overflowing so when we time a baptism holy spirit is that the holy spirit is all over flaws in out of your life and there should be some evidence of the holy spirit is overflowing out of your life sin the devil as a christian rather baptized in the holy spirit or not whatever that means is so when i get born again i'm ninety years old i accept jesus christ in my life do i then have the ability to say no think about what you did it at nine years old ok in third grade cape did you make choices did you make right choices did you make wrong choices did you make both choices if you're all enough at nine years old to make wrong choices both right or wrong you're old enough to accept christ into your life and know the decision right or wrong you know i'm going to time in one year old doesn't know what sin is really so when we're talking about being filled with the holy spirit does make it very clear that a letter a is that when we're talking about you receive power to resist the devil we're saying every christian has that ability but when you're baptized filled with god's holy spirit that there is a power that he quips you to make it easier to do that and if you want to question that challenge that they come about it if i go to church once a week and i don't know nothing about god's spirit and i am born again i go once a week but i know nothing about god's spirit i don't know there's a power available to me am i going to take advantage of that power that's available to me if i don't even know there's a power available no but if i'm filled with the holy spirit god's spirit is it is consume me then it doesn't matter what the preacher teaches it doesn't matter what mom says or anything else born again at nine years old can a kid witness absolute nine years old they can witness a lot of his nine year old do witness but what we're talking about is when you're baptized with the power of the holy spirit is that what god promises is that he says you will be witnesses and the what happens is been your fill of god spirit you can't help but share so here's the difference without being filled god's holy spirit you can share the gossip with anybody god can use it or you can anoint you to be able to do that but when you're baptized and filled the holy spirit you driving force within you to witness how do we know that every time in the bible when you look at when it talks about the baptism of the spirit every time you look at it there was something different about them they were on fire for god the holy spirit came down is tongues of fire and it consumed them and then out of that would they do they went out and witness among the people that are around there an apostle peter turns around and he witnessed the jews and he says to you kill je that takes the noise of god to say that in front of three thousand jews he gets philip the holy spirit the first thing he does is witness many people accept jesus for years and they don't witness and i argue that they have the ability to witness they can witness they may do some but because they are not filled overflowing with god's spirit there's not a desire to witness it and if there is a desire there's not the power that's behind it you better ties with the holy spirit you know what you do you turn around and you go you'll knock on doors you turn around when you're on the bus you want to tell somebody does it make you a better christian does it know because we're all so then we all fall short somebody could be filled with god's holy spirit and walk right into sin because we all have a free will choice this go through th god how many christians were called to be missionaries that are walking as missionaries how many how many christians were called to maybe to be a witness the machine in their workplace and there was to do that but they didn't do it and i argue when you feel god's holy spirit you will walk in god's calling you would do it god calls you to do because or something and you that drives you to do it you cannot help but do it better d after seeing the baptism holy spirit we have the desire to be vessels of honor used by god and he to walk in the fruits and gifts of the holy spirit we want to be fully equipped of the power character and power of god if you're baptized the holy spirit you want all that god has so i'm a tell you if you're baptized holy spirit you feel god's spirit if you read your bible first corinthians chapter twelve it list twelve seven gifts if you read your bible it says god has gifts for you is this gift of the holy spirit of your baptize all this but you know you say i want to give it to me if you're not feeling god's holy spirit you're liable to say they're done away with we don't need them anymore we don't need the gift of healing we don't need the gift america why your fear fear of the unknown fear of the fake fear the false and so you're baptized in the holy spirit you start to seek after what god has if you don't care it doesn't matter to you you have to say are you filled with the spirit you may be born again how many know there's a lot of christians out there that are very weak christians and there's christians that are very strong christians which ones are christians all all of but which one do you want to be do you want to be the weak christian or you want to be the knowing to christian and if you're baptized all the spirit you want to do something is a one call to be an evangelist no but two witnesses that mean you're an evangelist know an evangelist if you read what invent is one who quips the saints to be evangelists the evangelist is one of the gifts that god gives it says god gave the gift of apostles prophet teachers puzzles prophets teachers pastors and me i need you to build me up i need you did strength to me i need you to encourage me which one are you and the bible says one bit that when we are praying in the spirit is says there are edified were built up or lifted up or encouraged are you struggling move beyond the past are you having a hard time to forgive others to forgive yourself or maybe even to forgive gun we'll see an open door church
