Guided by the Spirit | Sadie Robertson Huff Preaching at Auburn Community Church

we have been in a series called fresh wind talking about the power of the holy spirit and it's been amazing to see how the holy spirit is the breath of god breathing new life into our souls even in the midst of such a difficult season and i'm just losing my mind excited today because there is a voice in our church who wants to join up with what god is doing in this fresh wind series sadie robertson huff is a voice that god is using in the big c church all over the world it is not an understatement to say that her voice is reaching millions and millions of people for the glory of god and her and her husband christian were a part of our church at the beginning of this year and i wanted so bad for her voice to get the opportunity to join up with what god was doing here and it just worked out so perfectly that in the midst of a global pandemic she is going to get to join up with what god is doing here so can you do me a favor from right where you are can you give the biggest acc welcome to sadie robertson huff bring in the word of god today all about the spirit of god is going to be so powerful i can't wait to see what god does come on [Music] how are we doing church fam how are we doing online how's everybody doing out there i know it's been a crazy year but don't we know that we need church right now that we need jesus right now we definitely need the holy spirit and a fresh wind right now and so i am so excited to step into this moment i'm honestly just excited to be in a church building this is like such a blessing um so i'm pumped first i just want to pray and then i'm just going to step out of the way and let let god move god i thank you so much for this incredible incredible day god i thank you so much for pastor miles and courtney who are head of acc and just the whole team that's here gotta thank you for how they lead and how they have a banner over their church that jesus wins god even stepping into this place you get hope you get life you get peace because you get you god i pray that during the series of fresh wind god you would truly move on this campus of auburn the city god this state this country this world with a fresh wind of your spirit god you have the power to do what no one else in this room can do you have the power to change lives you have the power to revive a year like 2020. so god i pray that you would come do it god i pray that you would have your way god i pray that this word would fall on good soil and that there would be an urgency to take this word into their life god it's in your name we pray amen amen how many of you know that you have like the best pastors ever i just have to say that first because we got to give honor where honor is due miles and courtney you guys are amazing i was honored to actually get to go to acc for a few months with christian we loved it here and he asked me to preach whenever we first got here and i said can i just go to church here like i love it like i just love it and then one day one day when it's right and this could not be more of a right moment obviously this year is not what we thought it would be at all but we do know that god is still good that god is still real god is still alive jesus still rose from the grave the holy spirit is still active and alive and so i'm excited to preach about that the holy spirit when it's talked about in the bible it's talked about and it's translated to the word rooha everybody say because i know you all wanted to say it because when i learned that i was like that is such a good word it's very cool but anyways it's translated that and what it means it means it's god's personal presence or the energy of god's presence it's the same word that was translated for the way that the clouds move or the way that the trees move so it's kind of also translated as the energy of the wind which is kind of cool when you think about this series being the fresh wind it's literally we're talking about the wind of god if you haven't picked that up the wind of the personal presence of god the holy spirit that ruja that personal presence and myles has taught to us a little bit about what the holy spirit has meant i won't say a little bit a lot i've been tracking with this series and it's changed my life personally me and christian have just been mind blown every week so if you haven't watched the last two weeks go watch the last two weeks because a lot of what i'm saying is recapping that and then kind of going through a story in acts 27 of where all of this kind of plays out but many of you you might not have known what the holy spirit was before this series honestly i didn't understand the holy spirit at all until i was like 17 years old and even then i was like what's happening i grew up in a more traditional church and then i went to this summer camp and everybody was just worshiping heart abandon they were just going for it and i was like what's going on like can we just stand here and like maybe snap like i was just like what's happening but then somebody came up to me they're like hey just let the spirit move just let the spirit move in your life and i didn't even know what that meant i have no concept for really what that meant i knew god was awesome i knew jesus died for our sins but i didn't know what the holy spirit was and in this moment i was like okay i'm just gonna let it go i'm just gonna let the spirit move and i just began to weep and i just began to feel god's presence and it was so powerful when worship actually began to usher in the presence of god for me the holy spirit is the energy of god's presence some of you might have been afraid of the holy spirit because you've heard different things but myles has recapped it so beautifully some of the highlights from the last week are just wrote down it says the holy spirit he comes to set you free the holy spirit he comes and gives you the presence of god in the moment that you're in he gives you the power of god he fills you with that presence he enlightens you he makes you the righteousness of god so there's no reason to be afraid of the holy spirit the holy spirit is powerful myles even said that jesus said he was like hey it's better if i go because who i'm sending is better y'all that that's insane we think about that like we want jesus so desperately to come in this moment especially in 2020 like jesus just come back just come we need you god but don't miss that the holy spirit is here like don't miss that the holy spirit is inside of you and can do something powerful even in the midst of this year and wants to do something powerful through you yes we want jesus to come back but don't forget that the holy spirit is here with us i want to recap a verse that miles talked about a few i guess last week he talked about romans 8 so powerful if you haven't read romans 8 in a while circle back because this is where it's at but in verse 6 of chapter 8 it says for to set the mind on the flesh is death but to set the mind on the spirit is life and peace everybody say life and peace isn't that something we crave right now life and peace to set the mind on the spirit is life and peace but to set the mind on the flesh is death another translation says the mind governed by the flesh is death but the mind governed by the spirit is life so we're going to talk today a little bit about the two different winds there's a wind of the world and there's the wind of the spirit and today i want to ask everybody this question whether you're watching online or even in this room what is your mind governed by and what wind is guiding your life is it the wind of the world is it the wind of the spirit and we're going to follow acts 27 to kind of look at paul's life and then look at our own life and see how this relates in chapter 27 of acts they're on they're setting sail paul was a prisoner at this point if you don't know paul a little recap paul used to be saul he used to be persecutor of christians and then he had this radical life change where jesus got a hold of his life he had a name change to paul and paul is just a savage for the gospel i mean he is absolutely amazing i mean holy spirit what's happening i'm just kidding i've got to stop saying that christian said stop saying paul's a savage i'm like he was like he was just amazing like he did everything you know he just went full force and i love reading the life of paul and at this point paul had been preaching in jerusalem once again thrown in prison well they didn't find anything wrong with him so they're like send him to rome so he's going to rome at this point he's a prisoner on the boat and the wind isn't looking too good in their favor at this point and so paul as a prisoner speaks up to the centurion guards and tells them this isn't a good idea what you have to think he's a prisoner so what's about to happen kind of makes sense but i want us to look at it and how it relates to our life so acts 27 we're gonna start at verse the end of verse nine said paul advised them saying sirs i perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss not only of the cargo in the ship but also of our life so paul kind of had this moment and i don't know that it was the holy spirit or that it was just wisdom because sometimes you know we could say this might have been the holy spirit telling him it didn't actually say that it could have just been wisdom knowing hey this is not going to be good the wind is clearly not in our favor so paul used wisdom and maybe the spirit to say hey i don't i don't think this is this is a good thing to do we're probably going to lose the ship we're probably going to lose our cargo and we're also probably going to lose our life and listen what happened so but the centurion paid more attention to the pilot the owner of the ship than what paul said and because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter and the majority decided to put out to the sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach phoenix a harbor of crete facing both southwest and southwest and north west and spend the winter there so they were like okay we hear you but you're a prisoner while we would listen to you listen the pilot said we need to go this way so we're going to go this way and i want us to look at that because i want us to think about how the holy spirit speaks to us sometimes sometimes we just kind of get a nugget of wisdom in our life we just kind of get hey this is probably not going to be a good idea you probably don't actually want to get in that relationship you probably don't actually want to go to that party you probably don't actually want to take that position like something in you is a wisdom or a message from god saying that might not be a good idea but you're looking around and everybody else seems to be fine with it and it doesn't really seem to be a problem for some people and people smarter than you are wiser than you are saying no it's okay it's gonna be fine we're gonna make it let's just do it anybody relate to that well listen to what happens verse 13. now when the south wind blew gently supposing that they had obtained their purpose they weighed anchor and sailed a long creek close to the shore but soon take note but soon a tempestuous wind called the northeaster which literally is winds like hurricane force it shrugged down the land and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind we gave way to it and were driven along i just want to make a note that the world's wind is very misleading for about one second everything looked great they the wind blew gently it was fine everything was great they even thought they obtained their purpose they were like whatever what was he thinking everything is smooth sailing and then boom all of a sudden out of nowhere this huge wind comes and now they're driven by the wind of the world the wind of the world will be very deceiving it will come very gently it'll be a little whisper and then all of a sudden you will lose full control you see sometimes i feel like we do that we jump on the ship of an ungodly relationship and we still expect smooth sailing we jump on the ship of gossip and we expect smooth sailing we jump on the ship of drinking a party and a porn of sex and all these things and we still expect to obtain the purpose that god has for our life and we're confused when all of a sudden we're at the point where we have no control when we let the wind guide us it's not going to seem bad at first but it will be before you know it that you don't know how to get back the wind of the world is going to be distracting from your purpose but the wind of god will always be leading you towards your purpose it will be guiding you on the route of your purpose so all of him them here they're like oh my goodness they're freaking out because now they have no they can't control the wind at all they're going they have no idea where they're going they're lost and where it led them was to hopelessness we read in just a few verses that they lost all hope of being saved they're like we're literally not gonna make it out of this like we're gonna die and that is what the wind of the world does it leads you to the point of so much anxiety of so much insecurity of so much anxiousness that you think i'm not gonna make it it leads you to hopelessness but i think this is amazing because in this moment paul stands up and he has a word for everybody on the boat and the reason why i talked about how i'm not sure that it was the holy spirit when whenever he had this little advice to everybody he was saying i don't think this is a good idea because it didn't say that but i do want us to note that although the holy spirit might not have said that to him the holy spirit was with him the whole way because i do want you to know that you can still be guided by the holy spirit and be on a boat like this like paul was guided by the spirit of god he was fully in the presence of god he was fully being obedient to god and he's on the same boat with everybody else like you could be fully guided by the spirit of god fully in the presence of god fully obedient to god and still be in 2020 and you didn't do anything wrong you're just here but what do we do in this time what do we do when we end up on a boat getting tossed by the wind when we didn't have anything to do with that and yes we're not perfect so i will say we do need to check our hearts and say god what can i do what have i done what do i need to repent from but at the same time sometimes life happens and we didn't do anything to deserve it but we're in this moment so what did paul say paul stood up and he said well you should have listened sure listen to me totally called this but then he goes on he humbles himself he says yeah now i urge you to take heart verse 22 for there will actually be no loss of life among you but only of the ship i do want us to note that that paul said you're not going to lose your life but we are going to lose the boat that's an important thing to think about guys because sometimes god's gonna get you through something but the stuff that you were carrying on to is not coming with you so he said you're gonna make it but you're not the ship's not gonna make it for this very night there stood before me an angel of the lord to whom i belong and whom i worship and he said do not be afraid paul do not be afraid you must stand before caesar i want to stop here for a second we just talked about how the wind of the world it led them to anxiousness that led them to being lost it led them to being hopeless but yet paul on the same boat is sitting here with the angel of the lord saying don't be afraid paul you know the bible talks about that god didn't give us a spirit of fear but he gave his one a power love and a sound mind paul is the guy that said that so paul sitting on the boat amidst everybody as like god didn't give me a spirit of fear i want a power love and a sound mind he's sitting here and angel said don't be afraid i just want to encourage you with that that when the whole world is freaking out when everything is going wrong it says in um psalms 46 it talks about how even when the winds come even when everything pretty much goes wrong it talks about how when nations fall or when kingdoms trouble that we have to be still and know that god is god that's like paul right here i'm being still i'm knowing that god is god and i encourage you with that too when everything's going wrong be still and know that god is god and he's still working he said don't be afraid you must stand before caesar in other words you have a purpose here on this boat and behold god has granted you those who sail with you so then he told the man take heart for i have faith in god it will be exactly as i have been told i love the faith in this moment paul's saying yes i see what's going on right now but my god just told me this my god just gave me a word my god just said i still have a purpose my god just said i'm not done i have to get to caesar and i believe that it's going to be exactly as my god told me and so we're all going to be okay we're all going to make it but the ship's not going to make it what faith does that take you know obeying and following the voice of god it's always going to retr require trust and the reason it's always going to require so much trust is because it's normally going to contradict the way that the wind of the world is moving like it's normally going to be in the moment that everything's going wrong that the wind's going crazy that we're going to get a word from god or we're going to read the word from god and realize actually we're going to be okay actually there's no weapon that could be formed against us that could prosper like actually we're fine actually god's spirit is gonna give us peace it's gonna give us strength it's gonna give us hope in the middle of this moment and i believe it's gonna be that because that's what my god said so i just encourage this church like when the whole world is being driven by the wind to remain driven by the wind of the spirit within you to say i have hope that it's going to be exactly what my god said no matter what else happens on this boat we go on and after this happened you might think oh okay well this is going pretty good now everybody should be fine because an angel just showed up and said you're gonna be okay but no everybody's still freaking out besides paul and we get down a little further and yes we are literally going through all of acts 27 because i love this chapter and it is life-changing i think sometimes you know as church we might say like oh i'm sorry i'm reading so much scripture but i don't ever want to apologize for reading the word of god because it is like it's active and alive so i want to read this it says and fearing that we might run on the rocks they let down four anchors and stearns and pray for day to come and as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship they had lowered the ship's boat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors on the boat so what they were doing right now is these soldiers were acting like they were going down the back and just laying down some anchors but they were actually laying down lifeboats like they were actually trying to get the rescue boats and escape they were tricking people but paul saw this and paul said to centurion soldiers unless these men stay on the ship you cannot be saved then the soldiers went and they cut the ropes of the boat and listen to these words they let it go everybody say let it go see these men were getting afraid because of the crazy winds and so they thought we're gonna get off of this boat because paul just said that the ship's not gonna make it but here's the thing i heard this one time it changed my life the safest place you can ever be is in the center of god's will safest place you can ever be in this in the center of god's will paul said to them unless they stay on the ship they're not gonna make it in other words i don't know what's gonna happen whenever they get out and that crazy wind but i do know what's gonna happen if you stay on this boat cause god said we're gonna make it but don't get off this boat because this is the center of god's will this boat has a purpose this is where the presence of god is i would not try to escape this boat and i think sometimes the reason why we don't have a fresh wind come in our life is because we still try to use the coping mechanisms of the wind of the world to heal us from whatever we're going through it's like this in 2020 in a year like this we just try to sleep through it we just try to make it through we just try to get to things maybe are a little better and then we'll deal with our anxiety we try to escape the wind of this moment right now instead of letting god heal us in the middle of this instead of letting god raise faith up in the middle of this moment instead of letting us see what god could actually do if we stay placed where he has this you ever think about the fact that god knew you when he formed you and he numbered your days i say that because he knew you were going to be alive here he knew you were going to be alive in 2020. the wind of the world is not shocking to him it doesn't surprise him he's like literally saying yeah this wind is bad your ship's not going to make it but i have you i have you in the palm of my hand i have your day's number i have purpose for you i don't the the rest of the world it this wind it can touch everything around this boat it can even touch this boat but it cannot touch you because my presence is in you so yes it can things can happen but if he's in you he's sovereign and that doesn't mean bad things won't happen to you but it means his strength will be within you just like i said when paul's in this moment bad things are happening to him but he has strength he has peace he's not afraid he has joy because he has hope he knows god is there he knows god is doing something so i encourage you let go whatever your lifeboat is let go of whatever you're coping mechanism is and let the holy spirit of god the fresh wind of god come and do something in you right where you're at and just be obedient where you are just be obedient where you are keep going a little bit longer and at this point you really think nothing worse can happen but it gets worse again this really is so much like 20 20. it's crazy um now they're about to be shipwrecked but it's crazy right before their shipwreck there was this like last minute like burst of hope from everybody they actually like thought they were gonna make it it says now when it was day they did not recognize the land but they noticed a bay on a beach on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore so i just want to point this out because at this point although everything kind of went bad they kind of had this turnaround point they were like actually because what just happened and i didn't read this part but they all just got to eat before they threw the car go over they were all fed everybody was kind of fine and then they see land and they're like you know what i actually think we're going to make it like this is actually going to be great and right when they see that they cast the anchors and left them in the sea at the same time loosening the ropes and tie the rudders then hosting the for sale to the wind they made way to the beach so they're like ahoy we've made it it's not that bad we all survived and then boom again but striking a reef they ran the vessel ground the boat struck and remained immovable and the stern was broken up by the surf right when they thought we're gonna make it it's all gonna be okay they actually were shipwrecked they couldn't move they were absolutely stuck and the soldier's plan was to kill the prisoners at least any of them swim away because remember they are prisoners so now the soldiers are like what do we do we're just gonna have to kill them but the centurion wishing to save paul kept them from carrying out their plan he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land and the rest on planks and pieces of the ship i mean isn't that a crazy thing to envision like they're shipwrecked it's all these prisoners and they're literally like they can't even swim and so they're like breaking off the ship and they're like paddling with the ship like this is like the craziest story ever because like so many crazy things have happened they're supposed to die but notice all of them the last verse were brought safely to the land just as the lord said your ship's not gonna make it but you're gonna make it god is so faithful but i wanna talk to us about this part because i think it's the shipwreck part that i feel like so many of us can relate to and this is where it's gonna get really real because some of you watching and some of you listening you're like okay which wind am i driven by am i driven by the wind of the world or am i driven by the wind of god and by this point you should be able to kind of tell by the fruit of your life or the direction that you're going do i have purpose am i going to the purpose of god or am i totally being distracted from the purpose of god if i'm on the wind of the world or when to god or if my mind is governed by the flesh are governed by the spirit but at this point i feel like there's another group of people who actually just feel like i don't actually know what wind i'm driven by because i just feel like i got the wind knocked out of me like i i don't actually feel anything i don't feel any energy like i don't feel like i'm driven by the spirit i don't really know that i'm even driven by the world i just feel like i totally got the win knocked out of me if you've never got the wind knocked out of you you've probably seen people get the wind knocked out of them if you've ever watched college football or soccer or anything it's that moment where somebody's like running full speed ahead and they normally don't see it coming and then out of nowhere it's like boom and you just can like see it it's like you know that moment you can't breathe and life's the same way it's normally when you're running it's when you think you made it it's when you think you're almost going to get there it's when things are actually turning out good and you don't see it coming and then something out of nowhere hits you sometimes it's sin sometimes it's your own doing but sometimes you had nothing to do with it sometimes it's just so unfair and so unjust it just hits you i want to read you what it actually looks like to get the wind knocked out of you it says getting the wind knocked out of you it's called getting the wind knocked out of you but it turns out that it's not the air that's the problem i thought that was really interesting that the air is actually not the problem the moment that you get the wind night daddy it feels like it's the problem i feel like i can't get air right now but it's actually not the problem it's your diaphragm that's the problem the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle under your lungs when you inhale the diaphragm pulls down to help the air into the lungs when you exhale the diaphragm pushes to help the air out of your lungs so it's not the air that's the problem why do i say that and why is that hopeful to me because when life hits you so hard although it feels like you're not gonna be able to breathe again the air is not the problem the inside of you is the problem the holy spirit is still there the holy spirit is still available the holy spirit is still there the minute that you ask him into your life and into your heart the minute you ask him to govern your heart it's the inside of you that needs to be healed i remember a time that i felt like i got the wind knocked out of me because here's the thing about getting the wind knocked out of you you might have faced this before and i kind of talked about this with live there are moments that you physically feel the wind get knocked out of you when nobody really touched you when nobody pushed you when you didn't get just completely just sacked it's just like somebody said something so hurtful that you literally had the same feeling that i don't feel like i can breathe personal story of mine i haven't really shared this with people but um i was thinking i was like god when is the time that i felt the wind get knocked out of me this was the first thing that popped up when i genuinely felt like i can't breathe and i don't really know what tomorrow's gonna look like and that might sound dramatic but if you've ever been in this moment you know exactly the thought you know exactly the feeling i had actually been set up with this guy and he was like the nice guy he was the guy everybody loved he was a church kid everybody was like you should totally go on a date with him um he knows the bible so well he wants to be a preacher it's funny how people want to set you up like that miles is a good set up person but but this one this one was not a good setup all right everybody had high expectation so i go on this date and you know honestly she's expecting great things and i i just thought it was going to be great smooth sailing you know i did not see anything coming i didn't really feel like i needed to have any kind of like boundary talk with him because he's the church guy he loves bible he wants to be a pastor it'll be great so we go on this date and we get back and and then he starts kissing me and then he starts touching me very inappropriately and i get really uncomfortable and it really shocked me i kind of just remember just being frozen in time and i don't know if that's ever happened to you and the reason i'm sharing that even though it's super personal is because i've talked to other people and there's too many girls this has happened to to not say this to not help people who are still in that frozen moment and i pushed him away and i said no and he looked at me and he smirked and he laughed and he said hey listen there are plenty of other fish in the sea and then he left and i cannot lie to you it felt like the wind got knocked out of me i felt so belittled i felt so ugly i felt so devalued and i went inside my roommates were there i just cried i couldn't even talk then i said i just laid on the couch didn't do anything and i'm not that person i'm like wake up what we doing but i couldn't move like i was just knocked out because i didn't expect it it came out of nowhere and honestly i was really bitter towards him you know sin will knock the wind out of you but something else that will keep the wind knocked out of you is unforgiveness and i want to talk to y'all about that because we need a fresh wind we really do we need individuals to have a fresh win and we need a world fresh win but if you want a fresh win one you got to look at the wind of your life and you got to get the sin out of your life you got to stop jumping on the ships that you know are going to lead you astray but two you gotta forgive the people who did things to you that were totally unfair and totally unjust that you gotta forgive them and it's so hard and it's so painful but it's actually required it's actually something that jesus instructs that we have to forgive people so that we can love people we have to forgive people so that we can move on i want to read y'all something i think is really really crazy it's actually the story the science behind the crucifixion it says this it says normally to breathe in the diaphragm the large muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity must move down yes we did just read this when we talked about the wind getting knocked out of you it's weird how similar this is this enlarges the chest cavity and air automatically moves into the lungs to exhale the diaphragm raises up which compresses the air we just talked about this this is the science behind the crucifixion then it says as jesus hangs on the cross the weight of his body pulled down on the diaphragm and the air moved into his lungs and it just remained there the weight do you understand that the weight that jesus was carrying was the weight of our sin so who knocked the wind out of jesus in this moment we did it's arson somebody else's sin might have knocked the wind out of you it's weighty it hurts it feels hard to breathe but in this moment it remained there and jesus must push up on the nails in his feet causing him more pain in order to exhale in order to speak air must pass through the vocal cords during exhalation the gospel notes that jesus spoke seven times on the cross so seven times jesus had to inhale and push up on his else just so his diaphragm would be able to get the air in to say the words that he was going to say and you know the words that jesus said he said forgive them for they know not what they do it is painful to forgive it is painful to carry sin it is weighty it hurts it literally compresses the air from you but you know what it also says about getting the wind knocked out of you although it is so scary it's actually not life-threatening why is it not life-threatening when you see a moment like that when somebody gets sacked when somebody is in that kind of pain because it's not the air that goes anywhere it's the inside of you that needs to heal jesus himself it didn't knock life out of him boy for three days but then the power of the presence of god the spirit of god filled his body and revived him back to life the wind of god brought him back to life and in romans 8 it says the same spirit that brought jesus back to life that raised jesus from the dead is a spirit living in you so the same spirit that brought air into his lungs that revived him to be able to breathe again walk in in wholeness and fullness yes he's the son of god but you were his child is also offered to you to revive you what does revive mean it brings it means to give you new life to give you a fresh win to give you a breath of air some of you need that today there are people today who have recognized you know what i am following the wind of god i am moved by the spirit of god and i encourage you to keep going with it stand firm in your faith follow paul's instruction don't be afraid keep doing that there are others of you who are saying you know what i am totally driven by the wind of the world i am tossed left and right i have lost control of my life i am led in every different direction because i keep jumping on the wrong boat the wrong ship i keep thinking it's gonna be fine but i am ready to jump on the way the truth and the life of jesus christ maybe that's you today or maybe you're the one that was completely knocked to the ground and you've been on the ground you've been struggling with depression you've been struggling with so much anxiety you've been struggling with guilt and shame and all these things and maybe some of it was not even anything you did but something somebody did to you unjustly today i want to ask you to forgive that person let the spirit of god come in you to forgive that person let the spirit of god come in you to turn and repent from your sin and turn towards jesus why am i saying all this my passion all this because if we truly want a fresh win all of these things we have to understand there's action behind some of these things there's repentance involved there's forgiveness that's involved there's love there's purpose there's all of these amazing things and i do believe what my god says is true i do believe everything in this word is true and how it is said it will be done and so i do believe that yes we're in a hard year yes things are crazy but god is still moving and god has purpose each one of us in this room and everyone watching in line to be here how do i know that well my good guess is that you're watching is that your breathing is that you have life and that is not a shock to god [Music] so i'm going to pray over you today and no matter what category you fit in i just ask that you would bow your head and close your eyes [Music] if you've never let the spirit of god come in your life and i'm gonna say to you what my friend said to me so you just let it happen let go of the things that have held you back right now in this moment you might need to repent for some of the things that you've walked through repent just means to turn god i have done this i have struggled with this i have walked this but god right now i turn from that and i turn to you god i want nothing to do with that make me new god maybe some of you you're sitting there and you're in tears because the wind has been knocked out of you invite a fresh breath remember it is not the holy spirit that is just you've gone so far that he can't fill you know is the inside of you ask him to heal you let him come in you and heal you and revive you your life is worth the living your life is worth the living let a fresh wind come and turn everything around the future that you have does not have to be determined by the past that you've lived god i thank you so much for what you're doing here at auburn but i thank you what you're doing globally i thank you for what you're doing in the kingdom god lord i pray that your kingdom would come on earth with a fresh wind i pray that you would revive souls you would revive spirits you would revive hearts god i pray that you walk with people in this moment through the unforgiveness that they have that they would take that breath in no matter how painful it is and that breath out of your spirit i pray that you walk with people who are just repenting of sin and god you clothe them with your righteousness and tell them that they are your beloved that they are your child and they are welcome in this home god i pray that you do something supernaturally in the next few months before this year ends god i don't want to look back and say 2020 was the worst i want to say 2020 is when god moved the most 2020 was when god became the most evident to every nation every drive every tongue because it's when we so desperately needed him god i pray that you would bring life you would bring restoration you would bring hope you would bring freedom you would set the captives free i know that's what your spirit comes to do i know that's who you are i know that's what you can do i know that's what you're able to do god but even if it doesn't happen now we trust that it will happen because we know you're good father i thank you for this time would we not say amen and go back to our everyday life would we continue in this prayer continue in this asking of the spirit and move with urgency to revive hearts of others god we love you and we praise your holy name i thank you so much for resurrection life and the power that you had just released on so many people i believe you set so many people free today god it's in your name we pray amen
