one pastor was trying to get to United States from from Europe It was during the time that they did not have aeroplanes and so he got his ticket on the voyage on the ship spend all of his savings to get the money to get the ticket to come to the United States but he didn't have the money to eat in those fancy restaurants that the ship had so what he did instead of eating in expensive restaurants he got a big bag and saved himself some cheese and crackers for 21 days this trip would last so the first day he got there you know he kept his hope alive that you know he's moving to the United States he was coming from persecuted country and first day he came out on the board eating his cheese and crackers second day he's eating cheese and crackers third day he's eating cheese and crackers and the 20th day after eating cheese or crackers one of the guys comes to him and says hey no mean to offend you sir but I've noticed that every single day when we go to the buffet you're going to the side and you stick your head into your bag what is that that you do and he felt really embarrassed he said I'm very poor and I don't have money to afford all of these fancy restaurants so I could only save up money to buy the ticket and so you know all of you giggling over there and laughing as you're devouring your fancy food I'm actually enjoying my cheese and crackers and I cannot wait to get to the states so that this torture of cheesy crackers will come to an end the man looked at him and he says you gotta be kidding me did you not know that all the buffets and all the restaurants were included in your ticket I wonder sometimes how many times we as Christians live on cheese and crackers now realizing of stuff that's already included in their ticket and we're just waiting for the sweet by-and-by for Jesus to come and sweep us and finish all the problems and wait for all of the promises of God to be fulfilled out there when we die so many people look to death for their deliverance instead of Christ when I die this is when I'll be free when I die this is when things will end you know Jesus Christ doesn't want death to be your deliverer he wants himself to be a deliverer I want you to rise to your feet we're gonna open the scripture together to book of Acts chapter 3 verse 2 and verse 3 book of Acts chapter 3 verse 2 and verse 3 and if you're there say a man if you're still opening your app and your app is not loading say wait for me book of Acts chapter 3 verse 2 and verse 3 as you're opening a Bible want to remind you that if you use you verse how many of you use YouVersion Bible app alright so many of you I actually have two Bible reading plans there one is for single ready to mingle five days and one is break free for 14 days you can read with your friends so while you're there you can subscribe to one if you're there say Amen if you're not there yet we can't wait any more Acts chapter 3 verse 2 and a certain lame man from his mother's womb was carried somebody say carried whom I love how you guys say it I think it's so funny for you guys to listen to my accent probably huh no they have a big accent okay I do have like Ukrainian mixed with American half of the time I'm not even sure what I am but the way you guys have it is just beautiful as certain lame man was from his mother's womb was carried whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called beautiful to ask alms from those who entered the temple who seen Peter and John about to go into the temple asked for alms and if we flip the next to the next chapter chapter 4 to go to your phone chapter 4 verse 4 it says the following so after this miracle that he gets freed and he starts dancing and goes into the temple praising God it says however many of those who heard the word believed and the number of men came to be five thousand holy spirit we welcome you we thank you for your presence we thank you for your word and I pray that you will help me to digest your word today I pray that you will open our ears to understand our hearts to understand our ears to hear and anoint my mouth to speak father I pray every young person here today God who doesn't know you will come to know you I pray that the sick will be healed I pray people that are oppressed will be delivered and father I pray that you will baptize us afresh with your Holy Spirit I pray that you will Kindle us Kindle within us a flame for the calling that you have placed upon our life Lord we pray all of this in a precious name of Jesus and everybody said amen you may take your seats in the presence of Jesus I want to speak today for just a moment about walking in the Holy Spirit walking in the Holy Spirit I understand that many of us here today are Pentecostals and praise to God I'm born Pentecostal raised Pentecostal and gonna die Pentecostal in the church we have a problem today because the church has created a new Trinity God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Scriptures all around the Western world there has been a third God that's been created God the Holy Scriptures with the Holy Scriptures which I value so dearly their God breathed have replaced and pushed aside the Holy Spirit I wrote the book too but I can tell you one thing the author is always bigger than the book the holy ghost who wrote the Bible is greater than the Bible the Holy Ghost is God and I believe that he is the most forgotten God on the earth today most people treat the Holy Spirit the same way Pharisees treated Jesus they love the God of Abraham and hated God the Son they didn't understand him he was weird he was crazy he didn't fit into their mold and so many people have the same view of the Holy Spirit they think he is weird just because they met some Pentecostals that are weird I'm gonna tell you one thing Holy Spirit is anything but weird he's wild but he's not weird Holy Spirit is the most normal person that you will ever meet in your life and Holy Spirit is a person holy spirit is God but he's also a person so the story we worry today is this the Bible says is there was a man and he was lame from the birth being lame from birth did not mean that this man did not have legs it just meant that this man's legs did not carry him he carried them the Bible doesn't say that he didn't have legs the Bible just says that his legs didn't work are you with me ok when you were born when I was born the legs came as part of the package on the day of birth yes or no how many of you know that you didn't get your legs as an upgrade 5 years down the road how many of you know you didn't get your legs as an update because you were obedient and you finally you know learn to sleep on the right time and everything and then God just brought the legs by UPS and they attach them to you six years down no you were born with your legs everybody born with their legs give God some praise all right all right and some of you you're like I'm glad I'll be honest I'm not sure I know I was there I just don't remember if I came out with my legs or not let me assure you to you and the day of your birth the creator gave your legs but how many of you know just because you were born with legs it doesn't mean you walked out of your mother's womb having legs is one thing which came at your birth learning to use them took some time getting them at your birth was a gift but walking in the legs you got at your birth came with exercise came with your parents helping you to walk correct it came with falling and getting up walking with the legs you got as a gift it took some patience it took somebody to hold you somebody to pick you up someone said come come come come on come on come on you got ah you took one step great you just failed on the second it's still awesome we'll do it again next time it took some patience it took some trial and error it took some time I'm getting them I'm getting somewhere when you got born again God gave you the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit did not come when you started to speak in tongues the Holy Spirit came when you became saved God immediately gave you the Holy Spirit he didn't wait he didn't give you probation he didn't give you like a six-month period to say I'll see if you're serious I'll see if you backslide God at that moment that you got saved God didn't just give you a new heart God did not just write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life God did not just clean your record wipe clean God gave the Holy Spirit to live inside of you at that very moment that is the very precious gift that is an amazing gift but see the Holy Spirit is like legs you get them at birth but most people are just like this lame man still don't use them they got them except those legs don't carry them they carry the legs the Bible says the man had legs but he was lame in the sense that they didn't carry him he dragged them with him to the temple I want to speak today to people who have the Holy Spirit but Holy Spirit doesn't have you every Christian has the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit doesn't have every Christian this man had legs Jesus didn't work he just didn't walk with them he crawled he dragged them to church and in fact the scripture says where was this man seated where at the gate he wasn't inside he was at the gate when you have the Holy Spirit but the Holy Ghost doesn't have you your body will be sitting in the church pew your mind will always be checked out sermons are always gonna be boring worship is always going to be something that is just not your favorite song not your favorite tune I just don't feel it today the Spirit is not here no it's just your mind is not here the Spirit is here it's just the spirit your spirit is not there why because when you got legs but they don't carry you you always stay at the gate the Bible says he was laid at the gate he didn't stand there and clap and worship God he was laying at the gate see lame Christians are laying Christians they're not walking with God they're not dancing and praising and worshipping God and walking with the Holy Spirit they're usually their Christian life could be something one word laying and the Bible says that he was laying there at the gate but I want you to notice another thing he wasn't saying when people walk walking in he's hey high five welcome to the temple you're gonna have a fabulous day that he was there saying could you give me a coin or two he was begging he had the legs he was begging when he started to walk the Bible says he enters into the temple no longer at the gate he's not begging in the temple though his financial situation is still the same he didn't get a million dollar check he didn't win the lottery nothing changed in his finances something happened when he started to walk in the legs that he got something changed in him he gets inside of the temple and inside of the temple he doesn't walk around say hey guys can you can you go to my go fund account and donate five dollars to improve my financial situation the Bible says he was praising God he was at the gate he was laying and he was begging because he was lame there's a lot of Christians that are lame Christians lame Christians in a sense that they got the Holy Ghost Holy Ghost hasn't gotten them they lived our Christian life crawling and I'm like man the Holy Spirit created the universe he can't even carry my algebra and geometry the Holy Spirit made the heavens and the earth but he can't even carry my heart I have to carry the Holy Spirit as a doctor of this position I believe in him I know I got him but he is doing absolutely nothing in my life my whole life is carried by my own strength and my own abilities my own efforts and my own work my own pressure and everything that I put in is what I get out there is nothing the Holy Spirit does I don't feel and I don't see his activity and you can get to the point where you start even doubting whether you have the Holy Spirit or not my friend if you're a Christian you have the Holy Spirit but today I am an assignment to come into your life like Peter and John and not to give you legs but to help you work them to help you get your hand up and say listen the legs that you brought in can carry you the Holy Ghost was not sin so you carry the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost was sin that he carries you that he carries your education that he carries your finances that the Holy Spirit he carries your ministry that the Holy Spirit carries your relationship that the Holy Spirit carries your family that he carries the burden that he has the power to carry the weight of your life if he created the universe he can carry your life but my friends it's not that we don't have him it's that he doesn't have us and you may say what is the difference the difference isn't this we get the Holy Spirit by salvation he gets us by surrender write that down that that's readable right there we get the Holy Spirit by Salvation Holy Spirit gets us by surrender many of us we got the holy spirit the same way we got legs we're growing up babies and our pastor is pushing a stroller every Sunday we're growing up babies and our mentor a small group leader what pretty much they're doing is they're just helping us and the wheelchair of rules and the wheelchair of different advices to push us into church instead of us walking to church on our own instead of us being motivated to go to church on our own instead of us being initiators to serve in a church instead of us coming in and being engaged and not just coming to say I'm not being fed but realizing is that the only kids who say I'm not being fed are toddlers if you're an adult child you live with your parents and you come for your mama and your daddy say mom and dad I'm not getting fed you know what they will say there is food in the fridge and if you're not getting fed that means you're not hungry see when you have the Holy Spirit you don't have to wait for pastors revelation you don't have to wait for the right tune you don't have to wait for none of that you got your own eggs and they carry you and you could use them you don't have to wait for somebody to bring you into the gates you don't have to wait for somebody pass you a cord why because you got your legs and you can walk with the Holy Ghost I'm gonna preach to myself it's completely fine so I wanna share with you just practically three things on how to walk in the Holy Spirit somebody say Amen I want to write this down the first thing I want you to write this down to walk in the spirit I have to talk to the spirit twenty five minutes thank you buddy to walk in the spirit I have to talk to the spirit to the spirit somebody's they talk to the spirit so to walk I have to talk now in order to talk to the spirit we have to understand we have to break few misconceptions one is the Holy Spirit is not tongues i shoulda bought a Mazda shoulda boughta Honda it's not the Holy Ghost that's a gift of the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit is a person the Holy Spirit is not Pentecostal the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit has feelings the Holy Spirit has the will and the Holy Spirit has emotions he is a person he's not a dove he's not a fire he's not an oil he's not a shaking and baking he's not a feather tickling in my stomach right there he is not none of that now that could be a manifestation of his power but who he is it's a person somebody say Amen the Holy Spirit is not a flame Holy Spirit is not a feeling you don't feel holy spirit you know who is spirit because he's a person you feel his power but you know him as a person the Bible says be still and know the Lord is God the Bible doesn't say be still and feel the Lord is God I don't feel my wife I know my wife you can feel the spirit you can know the spirit because he is a person but you can feel his power come on somebody so to talk to the Holy Spirit I must break a mental stronghold and Holy Spirit is that that's great but the Holy Spirit is more than that he is a person tongues is a gift like I had a buddy of mine he gifted me with this iPad I get my mind away he gave me this iPad but that's a gift I use every day my friend it's not the iPad I had a buddy of mine that got saved u.s. marine and he came to keep the church and I just moved into my new house and he bought me a nice TV and he said pastor Vlad I haven't been tithing for so many years and that's my tithe I was like I don't think that's how this works I don't think you buy a pastor a TV and that's your tithe but I'm like I'll keep the TV while you figure out the theology like if you want to buy anything else while you're still in your little fog of ignorance feel free to do that good Lord understands your heart this friend of mine who bought the TV four years ago lives somewhere in Hawaii I have not talked to him in three years tried to reach out on Facebook he doesn't respond he's still there I see his Facebook post he just doesn't respond back to me the crazy part is I still have that TV see you can speak in tongues till you turn blue and never know the Holy Ghost you can use the gift and not develop a personal relationship with the person and my friend did not take the TV back just because he moved to Hawaii Holy Ghost is not gonna take the gift of tongues or other gives just because you ignore and reject them and you will come to church and the anointing will present you go and live in sin and you will the Holy Ghost is with me the gift is with you but the intimacy is not there I'm not saying you don't have a relationship I'm saying you don't have intimacy just because you're using TV it doesn't mean you're in contact with the person who gave it to you that's why Saul would come into the group of prophets laid on the floor and experience manifestations and prophesied until he could rip all of his clothes and got up and went back to his old ways why because you can experience the Holy Ghost in the presence where all of us are experiencing it but it doesn't mean you have the intimacy with him who I'm talking today is to walk in the Holy Ghost but to walk in the Holy Ghost you gotta talk to the Holy Ghost now the Bible makes me to understand that I don't pray to the Holy Spirit we pray to the Father we don't pray to Jesus we pray to the Father in Jesus name we don't pray to Mary we don't pray to Saints and we don't pray to the Holy Ghost we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus by the help of the Holy Ghost is anybody with me but the scripture says in Corinthians that may the love of the Goblin love of the Father the grace of Jesus and the fellowship somebody say fellowship somebody shout fellowship and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you it's not a fellowship with the Holy Spirit its Fellowship of the Holy Spirit that means Holy Ghost wants to fellowship that's not prayer that's that Holy Ghost barking orders is his turn right turn left stop don't date him don't like her don't watch this one do this that's the fellowship that's barking orders when I fellowship with my wife I don't ask nothing in particular we're just talking we're just sharing our feelings we're just sharing what's on our mind and the Fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with you always they means Holy Ghost is a person and he wants to talk to you and he wants you to talk to him every single day I'm not talking about prayer I'm talking about communion I don't pray to my wife every day and say thou art the fairest of thousand lily of the valleys dine pod is like a coca-cola and I worship thee I don't do that stuff why because that's called idolatry I know it's sexy and I know its cool but it's called idolatry what I do is as I talk to my wife I don't worship my wife and so the Holy Spirit is my friend that's why I fellowship he is my friend he's not a force I feel he's a friend I talk with if you want to walk in the Holy Spirit this is how it starts I'm gonna get it very practical talk to him you're driving in stuck in a elevator somewhere in the Metro somewhere in the bathroom in the shower like this morning because of a time zone you know woke up at 3 o'clock from 3 to 6 and I didn't pray I just talked to my friend who's been in the living room all that time waiting for me to wake up and tears will roll down my eyes because I at his presence will fill the room I didn't do anything very special super spiritual I turned on my favorite Holy Spirit songs I said Holy Spirit I love you Holy Spirit I miss you if I've done anything in the last few days I probably have I'm really really sorry I just want to be with you I'm not here to milk a sermon out of you I'm not here so you can give me anointing I'm here because you're my friend what are friends for in order to walk you have to talk see sometimes it's hard to speak to the Holy Spirit because see when we think of the father we think of like a like a dad you know and if you had a good dad it's easier for you you're thinking of a great man little belly kind you feel safe in his arms when you think of Jesus you think of Jim Caviezel in The Passion of the Christ tall handsome strong and then when you think of the Holy Ghost the mind goes blank fire wind oil shaking and baking tongues look which one do I choose today and I remember one time I said Lord if you wanted me to fellowship with the Holy Spirit why didn't you give the Holy Ghost a body I mean I know that you've chosen to identify like a father Jesus like a Jewish man the Messiah why didn't you give the Holy Ghost you keep hearing him like a dove and wind and like it's confusing to talk to a wind and I feel the Holy Spirit spoke back to me and he said Jesus chose the the male Jewish body but the Holy Ghost shows your body he's no less a person just because you don't see him physically if you want to see the Holy Ghost look in the mirror your body is his house your body is his address your body is his location that's why your body has value that's why you can't sell yourself cheap that's why you can't cut your body that's why you can't Ink your body why it's not your body it's his house you have to always ask the owners permission that's why you can't put drugs in your body that's why you can't put liquor in your body that's why you can't put a man inside of your body put other things in your body why you gotta ask the owner who is the owner the Holy Ghost and you and him happen to be on very good terms somebody give God some praise right now come on somebody give God some praise right now the Holy Ghost owns you and me in order to have in order to walk with the Holy Ghost we need to talk to the Holy Ghost I'm telling you one thing when you start talking to the Holy Spirit you don't have to be a preacher you don't have to be a minister you don't have to be a worship leader you can be maybe you consider yourself an average or stay home mom or maybe you're a single mom or maybe they you just a college student and you barely have time for prayer I'm telling you one thing begin to talk to the Holy Ghost he's already there he's waiting he wants to talk back to you I'm not talking about to give you only things to do he wants to just talk he is a friend not a force my god but the second thing I want you to notice it's not only we have to talk to him if we want to walk in him walking in the Holy Spirit doesn't make me better than you it makes me better than me write that down to tweet that to walking in the Holy Spirit doesn't make me better than you it only makes me better than me in Galatians it says the following I say then walk in the spirit and Galatians chapter 5 verse 16 and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh and then if you read later on in 22 and verse 23 it says but the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace long-suffering kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control against such there is no law I want you to see this is that when I walk in the Holy Spirit it happens because I talked to the Holy Spirit but the benefit of walking and talking in the Holy Spirit not only I begin to he begins to guide me but what begins to happen is the Bible says that is as I walk in the Holy Spirit I don't fulfill somebody say fulfil the Bible doesn't say you won't have watch this the Bible does not say if you walk in the Holy Spirit you will not have lust of the flesh it says you will not fulfil lusts of the flesh lust will still be there lust is like a an itch athlete's foot you know like when it just itches and then you want to scratch it thinking it's gonna go away and the more you scratch it the more it itches that's exactly what lusts this if you give in to it it promises it will go away but in reality it only increases that's what lust does and the Bible doesn't say that if I walk in the Holy Spirit that the itch goes away it's that I have the power not to scratch that you never say don't scratch it that Guy that's writing to you don't scratch back don't respond back don't scratch it God will give you the power not to scratch it but I want you to see this in Galatians chapter 5 it says the fruit of the Spirit somebody say fruit it doesn't say the work the works is applied to the work of flesh meaning I work I tail I strive it says the fruit meaning I surrender if you ever seen how fruits are produced you never see the tree gone apple is out thank you Lord next day fruits are not produced like work fruit happens naturally fruit happens slowly and fruit grows fruit is first sour before it's sweet I always and when I feel like I am impatient I don't walk around say I am impatient I say that my patience is sour but that means it's getting sweet because it's a fruit and fruit don't just appear as gifts fruits are grown over time but the best part about fruits I want you to see this the difference between the fruit and the gift two apples this is a gift this is the fruit this grows on trees naturally and this has to be produced by people in China and sold in America for a very very heavy price this is the fruit I want you to notice a big difference one is this one you wear it this one you eat it when you walk with the holy spirit I'm gonna tell you one thing about your life your character will be affected by the holy spirit the world tells us work on your character no where do you see an Apple is working on the Apple the Apple is the result of a branch abiding on the tree Christianity love kindness long-suffering all of these things are not because you work on them they happen because you work on your relationship and the fruit comes automatically you work on your intimacy and the issues get resolved automatically I want to give you a freedom today stop working on your problems and your character issues stop it look in the last five years how much did you get by working on it you're still in the same problem you're still angry you're still impatient you're still looking at the stuff you should not be looking and so can that give you try something for the rest of this year stop working on your character work on your intimacy and something will happen your character slowly but surely will begin to change and you will never be able to say or because I worked on it you will say it was the fruit of the Spirit I didn't work on it he worked on it because I focused on intimacy and I don't get the credit it's not suit of lad it's not food on my mama it's the fruit on my fasting is the fruit of my plan it's the fruit of the Spirit the only thing I did is I developed intimacy with him and he produced it slowly but surely somebody give God some praise right now but the best part about the fruit watch this the best part about the fruit if you have it people around you will be if you marry someone who has a fruit of the Spirit they'll feed you if your parents if you in the house your parents will be fed by you if you don't have it they'll be fed up by you with the fruit I feed my spouse see my wife doesn't care if I can speak in tongues she just cares how I speak to her in English my wife doesn't care how many people fall if I lay my hands on her what she cares is do I touch her gently my wife is fed when I have a fruit not the gifts of the Holy Ghost she doesn't care how many applause I get in the sermon and how many views my sermons get on YouTube she gets fed by my character you get blessed by the gift but the people around me are fed by my character that's why some men don't have good families and don't have good relationships what because they only have an Apple watch but not an apple fruit ladies don't look for a man who has a new Apple watch make sure the home slides has some apples gentlemen don't look for the lady just because it's time make sure her fruits are there because you're not is gonna be sleeping with her body you're gonna be living with her character and if that girl has no apples listen you're gonna be eating of that and this is what you're gonna say after six months of marriage you're gonna say I am fed up by you why because it's only the fruit of the Spirit that will make you say I am fed by you my drop right there I just feel the anointing is being released as I eat a sample this is very good Apple not big but sweet that's what fruit of the Spirit is it feeds your family you go to work your employees they're fed by you if you keep hearing this about yourself that people are fed up with you stop working on your issues you won't get it better it will be work of the flesh work on your relationship with the Holy Spirit and you will start seeing small little things appear and you will never be able to take the credit for it you will say it's the fruit of the Spirit let's give the Lord a round of applause how does this happen sorry have disputes I need to finish eating faster how does this happen practically pastor vlad I'll demonstrate it to you can I have two people one from this and one more I give me a lady guy and give me a girl somebody quickly come up to the stage quickly quickly the girl ones will have it easy come on let's go let's go come do you have is your cup still full is your cup of coffee still full I'm great bring it here well actually you know it's it's fine it's fine this one's fine and this one's gonna be fine this one's fine come on come on over what's your name David hold this what is your name ma'am have you saw okay let's do this as quickly as you can I want you to run down all around and come back here and quickly now you have water there so quickly as all the way do not do not spill anything though one two three go don't spill it don't spill it don't spill it have you noticed two differences have you noticed when David ran he didn't look at you he looked at his cup when she ran she just looked at everybody you know why cuz her cup is empty his cup is full you know that she came first why because she had nothing to protect he came last because it wasn't about coming first it was about not spilling anything he got when you are filled with the Holy Ghost you don't care about who comes first your main priority make sure you don't spill the Holy Ghost make sure you don't spill that piece make sure you'll spill that anointing make sure you don't spill that glory why because you know it's a treasure in the earthly vessels this is how it works see many of you are forcing yourself to look at God think about God as you go about your day when in reality you're empty and every five minutes you get distracted why can't I stay focused on God you will always be focused on that with what you're filled with automatically don't try to be focused on God be filled with him and your focus will follow what happens here one of my principles those of you who follow me in Instagram you see I never put lids on my coffee I never do that I spill sometimes in my car and myself for this reason to me it's a constant reminder if I am full of the Holy Spirit I become conscious of the Holy Spirit and I change how I live I slow things down i watch my mouth I can do why not because I'm a good person because I'm a filled person so my goal is not to become a better person my goal is to become better with the Holy Spirit and automatically somehow someway I can't explain it somehow someway my attitude goes in check my anger goes in check my patience go in she goes and check the way I treat my enemies goes in check what I watch on the TV or on the computer goes and check I don't have to work on it because it's the work the flesh I just surrender and yield because when you're filled with him you become conscious of him and it changes the way you live the way you behave and the way you relate to other people can somebody say amen now please finish it I'm just kidding after thank you so much guys thank you so much you can put it back yes can somebody say Amen that your neighbor said don't work on your issues touch other neighbors say work on your intimacy and lastly so the first thing we mentioned if you talk to the Holy Spirit you will walk in the Holy Spirit if you work on the intimacy your issues will be resolved and Holy Spirit will not make you better than other people he will just make you better than you and it will not happen because you're so disciplined and trust me I believe in discipline I believe in prayer and fasting I believe in setting up controls on your computer I believe in deleting apps I believe in removing the trigger points all of that but I believe none of that is powerful enough against the forces of flesh and the demons there is a power that's greater than any power is the power of the Holy Spirit DL moody talked to his students and he said how do you remove air out of the glass and they had different you know reasons to vacuum it blow it out he said there's only one way to remove air out of the glass fill it with water you want to remove issues fill it with something else that's why I say don't work on it and you may say well but I have to fix them if I don't nothing will change you've been working on those things for the last five years honey nothing is gonna change now your new year's resolution look how long did that last it's not you're not gonna make it by your resolutions you can only make it by your relationship and your intimacy fruit of the Spirit it will feed others people will be so pleasant around you people will hire you people who promote you people will be delighted people would pray that their children get married to you why because you will feed people lastly I want you to notice that when this man got healed when this man got healed he started to walk he went into the temple he started to praise God he worshiped God and the Bible says that 5,000 men got saved because of that if you taking notes I want you to write this down you were given legs not to sit in church but to walk in your calling to win your generation you don't need legs if you're not planning to go anywhere you don't need legs if you're planning to sit on your blessed assurance Jesus is mine and do absolutely nothing the Bible says because of this miracle because his legs started to walk 5000 men committed their life to God I'm not sure he didn't even preach he was just there dancing and shouting people people were you know can I ask him probably questions but Peter used that opportunity led many people to Jesus I believe walking with Holy Spirit has to lead every person here to win souls for Jesus jesus said follow me and I will make you famous on Instagram follow me and I will help you to lose weight jesus said follow me and I'll help you to climb the corporate ladder of success you will have an amazing job wonderful children they always will be healthy you will have a high paying job drive a really nice car and you retire very luxuriously if you follow me that's not what the Bible says I believe the first sign that you're truly following Jesus is Jesus says I will make you what what not famous rich preachers or singers or release albums or books those things have their place but they're not the gold or the byproduct he says you will become fishers of men Jesus says in Acts chapter 1 verse 8 he says and you'll receive power when the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will become tongues speaking Pentecostals that's not what my Bible says my Bible says that if you receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will become what witnesses that means that that walking in the Holy Spirit is not so that I can have miracles it's so that I can see people come to know Jesus the miracles are the sign to salvation miracles are designed to lead them to salvation we went today to that what is that thing called I yeah the coca-cola thing and so we were trying to get to that and there were different signs guiding to the to that thing and so I didn't hug the sign I didn't go in ah my gosh I got the sign no I looked at the sign because the sign was pointing further until I got into that little little thing and saw the whole London this was the goal you must understand every miracle every breakthrough your blessing is a sign to your generation for them to meet Jesus most of us have become the destination when in the reality was supposed to be a sign this man's miracle was just a sign that man will meet Jesus and get saved ester becoming a queen becoming beautiful and winning the beauty pageant was just a sign so to save a generation Moses being saved from Egypt's death by not eating crocodiles was just a sign so he can be used to save a generation God saved Paul so that he can use him to save a generation I believe you were delivered you were healed you were saved so that you can bring your generation to Jesus Christ God wants you to prosper God wants you to be rich God wants you to be healthy God wants you to climb the corporate ladder of success God wants you to graduate with honors God wants you to write books write music create blogs and have millions of people that will follow you but all of that is so that many people will come to know Jesus Christ our generation today is obsessed with inspiration I just want to live to inspire all the girls in the world to reach their fullest potential that is awesome if hell is not real devil is not real an eternity doesn't exist living to inspire your generation is the best goal you can live for if hell is not real if cross did not happen if Jesus did not die and heaven doesn't exist that is an amazing goal kudos to you but hell is hot forever is very long Jesus is the only way to salvation you cannot live your life to inspire you have to live your life to save you have to live your life to bring your generation to Jesus Christ somebody give God some praise right now Esther martyr guy comes to Esther's is Esther your generation is dying you need to do something about it and Esther says well you know I got this Instagram account Esther she was like the Kardashian except with clothes on sorry just something that stuck in my throat very famous very beautiful at the time she was the every girl's dream everybody looked at her and Esther says oh my gosh she was an orphan and she was Jewish girl and look at her I just want to be like Esther just wanna be like Esther and Esther had her little blog she had her little thing going on and Mordecai comes in and he says I want you to do something radical I want you to go and save your generation yes but I'm here to inspire I just want to help little people don't know that they're not what they look and they just they're not what they eat there are what God says they are Mordecai slapped that out of her and he says listen girl if you know has saved these people God's gonna find somebody else he says God made you famous God made you good-looking not because you got good genes God made you good-looking and God made you famous is because he had a purpose your platform has a purpose esther wake up you were called for such a time as this you were raised up for such a time as this you're not good looking because you're good looking because God has a purpose for your platform you're not just educated because your momma and daddy put you through college God has a purpose for your platform you not just a gifted speaker and a singer because you got vocals and because you're able to connect God has a purpose for your platform and we walk in the Holy Ghost to go to our purpose in our assignment please understand my friends I know some of you may say but you know Vlad you don't understand my purpose on this earth is just to help everybody to discover their true potential sunshine people are going to hell I just want to bring wholeness you know there's gonna be a lot of healthy people in hell a lot of rich people in hell our goal is not just to help people become rich and healthy that is has its place but at the end we all gonna die 60 70 80 and we're gonna face judgment and therefore our assignment on this life is not just to help a blind man to give him a sandwich as he's walking to a cliff is to help a blind man get off from the cliffs I'm all for giving sandwiches to blind people but not if they're headed to the cliffs I'm all for helping our generation to discover their truest selves and reach their dreams but if a person's heart beat stops and they're going to hell I did them disservice the Holy Ghost comes upon me not to make me into a preacher a singer but to make me into a missionary into a witness and into somebody who wins people to Jesus whether you work in business whether you work in school whether you walk in the hospital whether you work right now just simply maybe having a minimum paid job your job is your platform you don't have to have a microphone to leave somebody to Jesus you just have to have influence and influence comes when you care for people when you're compassionate for people when you care for their souls not for their opinions the influence comes when you begin to walk when the Holy Ghost says something happens God gives you an opportunity to share your faith God gives you opportunity to bring somebody to church to bring somebody to Christ and even though you never reached your dreams you reached your calling we have a generation that's drunk and reaching their dreams please understand my friends that's not in the gospel you have to reach your calling and your calling is to win souls and make disciples whether you're gonna be a mayor of London or you're gonna be a janitor for the mayor your calling is to win souls and make disciples your career you decide that your calling you discover that your career is temporary your calling is eternal your career it will change throughout seasons opportunities economy but your calling never changes whether you're in a parliament or you in the homeless shelter you're calling remains the same your career gives you money you're calling gives you eternal significance your career requires education and connections you're calling requires the Holy Ghost and anointing we are all called each one of us myself included not to write books for the sake of writing books or so people need Jesus not to just preach so we can entertain the crowd or even feed the crowd this other people mean Jesus our churches exist not so that ten other churches in town will close down because our church grew our church is to plunder hell and populate heaven most of what church growth is today is this my church group and 10 other churches shut down if I moved money from my pocket to my wallet I didn't get richer if we move two people from one church to another the kingdom of God doesn't grow and pastors ego grows he had writes a book and how to grow the church while ten other pastors are seeing a psychiatrist because they want to end their life that's not growth my friend growth is when hell has a headache growth is one devil runs nervous growth is when you pluck young people from the gates of hell growth is when demons running rampant why because the Royals are on the rise Royals know who they are because they're winning souls and making disciples somebody give God some praise right now if you're gonna win souls give God some praise right now if you're gonna change who you are to win souls give God some praise right now God didn't call us to win arguments he called us to win souls some people say I need to go to Bible College so I can be educated how to debate how many people have came to Christ here because of a debate zero there is a place for debate there's a place for apologies but you must understand the Bible says the power comes to make me a witness not a lawyer and witness only says what I saw what I heard and what happened to me a lawyer debates through the book and witnesses says this is what happened to me I was blind now I see I was addicted to church but now I'm free my life was falling apart I was shooting myself with heroin but now I am a good man I am a good husband and I am a good father because Jesus Christ I don't know about that man see Muhammad said he's the prophet of truth Buddha said he's the secret of truth Jesus said I am the truth and that man changed my life that man saved me that man forgave me that man died for me that man I don't know about that man but he changed my life you do whatever you want with that man but I am a different because of that man we have a church today that is not passionate to win souls a lot of people I feel like the reason why they're not winning souls is because they want to clean people before they catch people nobody goes into the sea to clean the fish until you catch it they will say pastor vlad what do you do with people if homosexuals come to church I said the same thing that you do with people when Liars come to church I don't preach morality I preach Christ and him crucified I don't expect homosexuals to live a straight life who cares if they go straight or homosexual if they're gonna go to hell in hell it won't matter if you were straight a homosexual and there's a lot of people who will be in hell who are not homosexual but they were straight my goal is not to make homosexual men straight my goal is to make all men to come to know Jesus first to be won by Christ and then to be disciples of Jesus Christ that's why I don't clean him until I catch them I don't disciple corpses Jesus first raised Lazarus from the dead and then he said remove his grave clothes you don't go into the grave to remove the grave clothes until you raise him from the dead and the church has been so obsessed to go change the world we just want to change though please understand sinners sin that's who they are fish swim birds fly sinners sin that shouldn't shock you when somebody says I lived up in La Salette Kudus for you bro why what do you expect out of them a young man approached me in the lobby of our church and he says pastor vlad I'm smoking weed is it wrong for me I said for you no you see what do you mean I said look and I knew this man I knew his family so I had the boldness to say that I see you going to hell it's obvious mama knows that I know that God knows that you know that and your family knows the five people they know you're going to hell he said okay I said what difference will it make if you go to hell with holding yourself from smoking or you go to hell smoking it up knowing why you're there for you're still gonna be there I said if I would be in your shoes bro I would smoke anything I could get my hands on since I'm going there anyway at least I could enjoy the ride I said I feel bad for all of your people holding yourself back and still going that realizing man I could have smoked the joint he looked at me his eyes were like this is that oh my god that night he got saved you're not going to heaven because you're not smoking you go into heaven because your sins were washed by Jesus we preach the gospel we preach Jesus we preach the cross we preach the blood-stained Calvary and that changes people and only then we disciple people only then we bring them and say listen I know the school told you you can decide your gender but listen it's very simple you go in the bathroom you remove your pants you look down if it looks like this you're a girl if you look like that you're a boy because that's what the Bible says so now let's renew our mind and if you don't still don't think it's right let me catch that demon of perversion out of you and Jesus mighty oh maybe they need inner healing or they need counseling but we don't disciple people who we don't win first to Christ I know my time is out and I'm I'm not sorry I was about to say I'm sorry but I was about to lie I'm gonna I'm gonna land this plane right now are you still with me can you handle just few more minutes God wants you to win the Lost the Holy Spirit upon us so we can win people to Jesus please understand use your platform start inviting people to church God doesn't just want to fill this place God wants to empty hell please understand our goal is not to impress people on Instagram but how big our churches are our goal is to shake the devil give him a headache and let heaven rejoice because people are snapped from the gates of Hell the Holy Spirit is not given to you to give you a ministry it's given to you to help you fulfill the calling you already got you don't need bigger platform if you're not using the platform you got to win others to Jesus stop asking God enlarge my enlarge my influence if you never ask God say Lord leverage my influence to bring people to Jesus Christ God put me on bigger stages God give me a bigger voice the voice that you already heart God how many people have come to Royals because of that how many people today on your prayer list that you are praying for see God has only one goal see God doesn't just look at your little tiny little life and soon about your comfort if that would be the case he would never let disciples be murdered and martyred he would never let my great-grandpa sit in jail for ten years and after to be released and dragged around with the horse while villagers threw rocks and him and he died three days later from a brain damage garden concerned about my comfort God is concerned about me fulfilling my calling and make sure that no man dies he let his son die on a cross so that nobody does that so nobody pays for their sin because the price was already paid that is god's heartbeat that is god's obsession that is why when god looks at me he says i'll raise you up I'll give you the anointing I'll give you the miracles I'll give you whatever you need son but please go let my people be free from Egypt the calling of God upon your llfe is God's attempt to answer the cry of your generation the reason why God calls you to win souls and make disciples it's not to punish you it's not to cause you to lose your job or lose your influence it's not to cause you to be a gospel thumper and to be a Jesus Freak it's because God hears the cry of your generation and God says the only way I can answer their cry is if you answer the call the only way God told Moses I hear the cry the crazy part is Moses didn't hear that cry the only thing Moses heard is comfort I remember and I'm gonna finish in this I remember when that became personal to me I moved into to the new house and my neighbor a retired gentleman we exchanged pleasantries all the time hi bye how you doing I live very close to church about six five houses away from the church and I was about to invite him to church but something something came up then I was about to invite him to church something came up and I'm like you know we're gonna have that special service and I'm gonna divide up the church and then I didn't see him for that special service nowhere in the yard and I was like I'll see him next time and invite him to church and then something happened I realized that I haven't seen him for three four months FBI went through his house everything flipped upside down nothing oh my god my neighbor must be a criminal where's God I didn't invite him to church a few months later I googled his name just out of curiosity and then on Google I saw an obituary from my city turns out that two months ago he died and the reason why FBI I went through his houses because he he worked for some government agency and they were just trying to see you know with secrets or some other stuff that he had they were selling his house and the lady who was selling his house came as I was washing my car and she says I want you to come and see his house and I said why would I want to do that but I'm a pastor so I've gotta behave I was like okay ma'am yes I'll go with you we'll go see the house I'm not interested it's like 30 years old house my house is is brand-new and I don't want to go see the house but I'm gonna go because I'm a Christian I go in and I'm just little I'm busy cuz my car needs to be washed and as we're going in right in the middle of the living room I see a piece of carpet this size pretty much cut out and so to strike a conversation with the lady selling the house and I said well that's weird that's a cool design that they had a carpet cutout in the middle of the room and she said you didn't know how he died huh I said well he was old he said that's not how he died that's where he shot himself I say you mean the happy guy who was always waving to me shot himself he said yeah he had nobody I went home I locked myself and I started to cry for this reason see when God was calling me to witness to him I did not know he heard his cry and God dialed the numbers and he saw his son located next door he says I don't need to scream to Vlad I could just whisper to him and he'll tell him about me except when God whispered I thought it wasn't urgent when he whispered I didn't think it was important and I kept postponing it and that day I felt the Holy Spirit put in my heart and he said the reason why I called you it's because there's someone's cry I cannot answer if you don't answer the call I'm gonna have to see that guy one day maybe in the Trinity on the judgment seat or something I made a mistake right there in my room I bowed my knees and I promised to God every opportunity I get a chance to preach I will give a call to salvation like it would happen today I will never miss an opportunity in our church Sunday service without giving a call to salvation and if you prompt me to tell somebody about Christ I will always remember it's not because you want to embarrass me or me to be rejected it's because most likely you hearing their cry and that's why you're calling me God is calling you to witness God is calling you to make disciples God is calling and not just to be successful but to be fishers of men not just because he wants you to be religious and to fill this church for your pastor it's because there is a cry that is going up to heaven and that cry has filled a voice message of god there's so much God cannot delete anymore he dials you and he says listen you got the Holy Ghost I gave you tongues I gave you miracles you're good-looking you got the influence you got to education listen all you got to do is start a conversation all you gotta do is ask that person how you're doing what are you doing this weekend would you like to come to church with me all you got to do - listen come on could you do that and many of us we do exactly what I did we don't answer the call and then we say why does God not answer the cry of people because his people don't answer his call the way you treat the call of God is the way God will treat your prayers you don't answer God's call don't be surprised if he doesn't pick up yours the way you treat the call of God it's the way God will treat your prayers people who don't answer the call typically have one thing in common they have bunch of unanswered prayers make the connection goddess saves you God loves you but he also loves the world and he wants to use you to impact your world he wants you to be a missionary in London you don't have to go to Siberia or Mexico or Africa to be a missionary you just have to go into your world with a new mindset I walk into the Holy with the Holy Spirit I don't come to church I come to church to be fuelled up for my destination which is my world and my platform we're gonna pray right now for an impartation of the love of God for the burden if you feel God is shifting something in your heart you realize maybe today man I I don't know the Holy Spirit as Vlad was talking about I realized that today I've abandoned my calling of winning to lost I honestly I don't remember last time I even told somebody about Christ for the life of me I don't remember anybody that came to church because of me I don't support missionaries I don't support anything that has to do with the gospel the only thing I'm interested it's just getting successful in getting ahead in life and there's nothing wrong with that please understand if hell wouldn't be real nothing wrong with that if Jesus wouldn't die on the cross
