The Comfort of The Holy Spirit Pt. 1

let me just say here in and be out set the canvas the canvas the canvas upon which the Holy Spirit the biblical canvas the biblical canvas upon which the Holy Spirit is painted is so vast VST is so vast until we do not have enough time either now or later to explain the goodness the graciousness and the powerful work that the Holy Spirit has in to do in members of the body of Christ the canvas is so vast the canvas of the Holy Spirit that is his work his work is so vast his work is so magnanimous until we do not even have time to talk about how great the Holy Spirit is I need you to remember as members of the Churches of Christ or as members of the Church of Christ I need you to remember that there is no greater intelligence there is no greater intelligence on earth today than that of the Holy Spirit there was no person or personality no persona no being on earth any more powerful than that of the Holy Spirit it's important therefore that those of you who are members of the Church of Christ that you understand that what you have in you is power do you have how Alicia in Chapter number three in verse number three Galatians chapter number three in verse number three paul writes of the church at Galatia he has things to say about Galician chapter number three and verse number three the Bible says are you so foolish having begun in the spirit are ye now made perfect by the flesh give me verse number two of Galatians chapter number three that Paul says this only this only word that I learn of you and then he asked a question receive ye the spirit by the works of the law about the hearing by the hearing of faith which means that Europe whether you know it or not you received when you were baptized for a mission of sins you received the Holy Spirit of God you say we're brother Washington I don't remember that well that does not have that does not affect negatively the work of God you might not remember being added to the church but you were if you obey the gospel of Jesus Christ God added you to the church you said well I don't remember well that still does not alter the fact that you have not been added to the body of Christ so that is important that you understand as a child of God and if I could just get you to understand this one thing I in my teaching on Wednesday nights and Sunday school I'm trying to get the church to understand the importance and the verticality of how to think because that's what it's all about let this mind be in you there was also in Christ Jesus it's a mind thing so the series that we are going through and have been going through since November of 2017 has been to see to get our church to understand that you can exorcise demons you can exorcise evil spirits you can exorcise negative thought depending upon how you think that's important are less important and that's important and I said again that's important because if you as a child of God do not know how to use your mind you will have a lot of difficulty in the world today and so it's important to understand that now the second thing that I've been doing is I've been talking about the Holy Spirit we have preached several sermons on the Holy Spirit and this of course brings us down to the ending of the series on the Holy Spirit because you need to know that in you as a child of God in you as a child of God the Holy Spirit is working he is working in you Romans chapter 8 and verse number 9 Romans chapter 8 and verse number 9 Paul writes to the church at Rome and he has quite a bit to say about the Holy Spirit Romans chapter 8 at verse number 9 the Bible says which you are not in the flesh but in the what spirit you see you're not in the flesh but you in the spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwells where you see those of us who are members of the Church of Christ the Spirit of God dwells in us now you may not know it and you may not recognize how it works but the Holy Spirit of God dwell in you need to know that and not only does he dwelt in you but you and I are to allow him to do his work in us we must allow him to do it because that's why he is there if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you now if in him now was this now if those of you who are in the room this morning and you are not a Christian you are not a child of God you have not said yes to Jesus Christ you have not been baptized for remission of yourself you have not been added to the church you were coming and you have been here before and you enjoy the worship service but you have not obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ you have not been added to the church you have not allowed God to add you to the church well this is what's happening if you do not allow God to add you to the church acts 2:47 then you do not have the Spirit of God now you need the Spirit of God you must have the Spirit of God there is no reason to live every day 24/7 without the Spirit of God and if you have not obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ you don't have the Spirit of God that's why the Holy Spirit is so important that's my the teaching of the Holy Spirit is so important because you need the Spirit of God now the Bible says but ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit that those of us who have obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ we are not in the flesh we in the spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you Paul says to the church and Rome not if any man now if any man now if any person be there may be the male or female if you are here this morning and you are oppressed are you on male or female this isn't what the Bible says now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his and what does it mean that means that you must not leave here without letting the Holy Spirit come into your life because Jesus saying I don't even know you you know you don't belong to me even though you have your degree even though you're driving a nice car even though you have mattress floors even though you have a good job but if you do not have dwelled in you the Spirit of Christ Jesus says you're none of his and what does that mean that means that if anybody in this room anybody in this auditorium have not said yes to Jesus I've not given your life to Jesus Christ have less than Lord ain't much but him all and God take me use me to your goal into your honor if you are in this room and you have not been baptized for the remission of your sin in water then you do not have the Spirit of Christ because Peter says repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins and you shall receive you cannot receive the Spirit of God until you are baptized in water for the remission of your sin and then Paul says now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he's not in here he's not of his now if you're not a child of God this morning if you have not said yes to Jesus Christ this morning that the Bible says you don't belong to Christ didn't belong to Christ and if you don't belong to Christ it said is your shapes it said is your condition because jenamae interpret it in for us 2301 O Lord we know that it is not in men that walk to directors on staff and then Jesus said in John chapter 15 in verse number 8 without me you can do nothing so now if you don't have the Spirit of Christ you don't belong to him and the only way to receive the Spirit of Christ is by obeying yeah except to five in verse number thirty-two you have to receive it you have to obey it now if you have not done that then the Bible says in Romans chapter 8 in verse nine now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he'd none of he is and the same thing about those of us who are members of the church this is just not for those who are not members of the church those of us who are members of the church we must have the Spirit of Christ you must have the Spirit of Christ you must align yourself to be led by the Holy Spirit you must allow that I know sometimes it's difficult for you to do it but you have to do it anyway because the Holy Spirit dwells in you never see and here's what's important about that you have to know that you say you have to know that dwelling in you you are in dwell by a mighty power and that power is the Holy Spirit you have known it you got to get that down into your thinking you're gonna have to get that down into your spirit become essence the spirit bears witness with the Spirit bears witness Romans have eaten verse 16 his spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God so which means then that you have to know that now you may be 12 years old you may be 13 years old you may be whatever you may be 102 years old it does not matter about your phonological age if you are a child of God if you are a member of the Church of Christ the Holy Spirit dwells in you and not only does he do well in you one of the greatest in the world is to have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you one of the greatest things in the world is to have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you because the Holy Spirit is somebody I said the Holy Spirit is somebody Genesis chapter number one in the beginning God Elohim in beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was born him without fault and the Spirit of God move from the face of the waters he was there in the beginning the Holy Spirit was at the beginning the Holy Spirit has dignity and the reason he has dignity is because he is one of the God had three horse ridden just come over there pinnacles whole earth with holy spirit existed before before there was in existence the Holy Spirit is eternal just like Jesus Christ is eternal the Holy Spirit is eternal and what I'm trying to teach you those of you who are members of the church that is that you are going to have to recognize and you must recognize because if you don't recognize it you was not having an abundant life you have to recognize that the Holy Spirit is in you well what is he doing in me doctor he is your comforter we read that he is your comforter he's your comforter he is my comforter God sent him that's in him that Jesus knew we needed some help he knew we needed him he knows this was going to be a difficult job for us he knows in the world heroin some did it all this but but I challenge you I challenge you in your leisure in your leisure when you have leisure but then reading the 14th chapter of the book of the book of st. John the 14th it would be great if you were just begin really a chapter number 11 but to really get the grips of grip from the Holy Spirit I read chapter 14 15 16 and 17 beautiful chapters that tell you all about the Holy Spirit of God ah chapter 14 chapter 15 chapter 16 he specially tells us about the work of the Holy Spirit then there's something that's important too that I need to talk about I hope I don't forget it because the Holy Spirit just brought it to me but I'm talking about something else but but I'll come back to it and if I miss it then of course I'll get it later now what was I talking about before I said I didn't want to forget when I chapter thank you thank you key in your leisure if you would take time to read chapter 14 15 and 16 of the book of st. John John doesn't excellent job on teaching us about the Holy Spirit you will be amazed at how Jesus felt about the Holy Spirit you will be amazed about what the Holy Spirit does in your life or what he wants to do in your life he wants to come in and make his abode with you he wants to come in to dwell with you that is those of you who are Christian he wanted he want to be a part of your life and and what I'm trying to teach you is you got to get to know it now you know I don't you don't have any problem about Jesus I mean you never thought about Jesus not we got this but we know what Jesus does because every day we are saying thank you Jesus about something thank you Jesus thank you and there's nothing wrong with that we need to give him praise thank you Jesus thank you Lord Jesus pray these are madee name of Jesus that's good that's good you need it and you do more of that didn't you know that but what I'm trying to teach you is that you all and I owe as much respect to the Holy Spirit as we do to the Son of God so your host Britain the Holy Spirit is not an afterthought the Holy Spirit is not a bad number but we have not been taught this I know what the problem is we have not been told this and and it's sad that so many of our good folk just have not been taught you know me not good folks and good people great Christian just have not been taught just having I've been told and the only reason we do not give obeisance so the Holy Spirit is because we've not been talked about we've been told thank you Jesus thank the Holy Father and there's nothing wrong with that but we amidst the teaching on the Holy Spirit we missed it and you cannot navigate this life successful live without the help of the Holy Spirit if you do it your prize would not get to the Father if it were not for the Holy Spirit and for God to hear what it is you're trying to say even though you didn't say it the Holy Spirit stuffs in and takes what you were trying to say in your prayers and interpreted to the Father one of the most powerful of the heavenly beings is the Holy Spirit of God he leaves us God's up he's a comforter to us he fights I will battle every spirit the spirit of tear the spirit of jealousy whatever the spirit of Holy Spirit fights those holy spirit what would we do without the Holy Spirit we cannot navigate this life without the Holy Spirit we could not talk to God without the Holy Spirit he is a comforter he's a guy he dwells inside of us and when troubles and trials come Holy Spirit is there to remind you of what Jesus has said that he'll be with us always even to the end of the world he will bring everything his up happy it when he John 16:13 happy it when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide us he would teach us that's what he's gonna do that's his job and he will bring all things our remember and you see what I'm preaching I'm preaching to you I'm teaching you this morning you not know remember everything I said but you had it but you don't know remember everything else but but you had well that part then you were fond of and you wanted to remember you hate you said who and you deposit it in your sub-conscience is in there is in there and then when you need it the Holy Spirit flagged into your conscious mind you see all things that you need to remember Holy Spirit brings it to you that's his job his job is to bring all things to your remembrance that's the job of the Holy Spirit the most important job is a job of the Holy Spirit he who walks with us every day is the Holy Spirit of God Jesus has come and he has done his job and after doing his job he says now I'm gonna send you somebody and he's gonna dwell with you he is going to be in you and less you and he is going to come for you that might come from come from etymologically comes from a Greek word territory and that word simply means to go along beside to walk beside to befriend that's the Holy Spirit he walks with us talks with us reminds us of what we need to know when the devil's got fooled with us he reminds us who we are he reminds us that greater is He that's in me that he sinned well that's the work of the Holy Spirit and we need to appreciate and he's so important let me tell you how important God the Holy Spirit is he is so he is so important most people who know they're going to die that is know that they're going to die and they are near death in and out of consciousness they and they know they're going to die when they are conscience conscious it is a fact that those persons when they talk if they talk talk about that which is closest or dearest's to them if they know that their time is up if they know this may be the last time I see you baby they will talk about that which is closest and dearest to them Mahmut say yes to that boy she says now listen you be a good boy and you take care of your brother and your sister mom always love you I'm going on but you be strong that children's close to mama talk about you see people who are at death door usually I always kiss I mean some go out custody Oh amen but usually usually people who are near death door talk about that which is closest or dearest to them now set that up for point the point is this it's an interrogative what did Jesus talk about most just before the cross what was on his mind most just before the cross Jesus that's why I try to read these chapters the 14th chapter the book was st. John he says he knew they were trouble he said let not your heart be troubled if you believe in God believe also in me anything in my father's house are many measures and if it were not so I would have told I go to prepare a place for you and if I go I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also now in the 15th chapter that was the fourteenth in the fifteenth chapter of the book of st. John I understand this Jesus is about to go back to glory he has finished his mission on the earth the cross is looming now in the fourteenth chapter we've already read it in the 14th chapter in verse number 25 these things have I spoken unto you being yet present with you but the comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name he shall teach you all things that he's about to go to the cross but he keeps telling them the Holy Ghost he's gonna come and in the fifteenth chapter and verse 11 he says these things in other words the things I'm telling you there's gonna happen to you but the Holy Ghost had come in to strengthen you he said these things have I spoken unto you that my joy I don't want to I don't even want to go to the cross without my knowing you understand what I'm trying to tell you and Jesus is lifeless it makes me feel good if you would understand that my going away is better for you because when I leave here I'm going to send someone that's gonna be your comfort yeah and then he said in verse number 16 he says you have not chosen me but I've chosen chosen you in other words you are my friends and he says that in verse number 40 you are my friend I've chosen you didn't choose me I chose you but I'm gonna leave yet because I have to go to the cross but I want you to know he's gonna be alright and then of course he said now in verse 18 he says if the world hate you you know that it hated me before I needed you now what's this and verse 21 or in verse number 20 in verse number 20 verse number 20 here's what he said remember the word that I said unto you and then he goes on to say that this servant is not greater than his master and if they have persecuted me they will also persecute you if he had kept my saying they will keep yours also but all these things will they do unto you for my namesake he's talking about stuff that's nearest and dearest to him before he died and then in verse number twenty verse number 26 he says it again but when the comforter and what she said nothing they're gonna talk about you they gonna present Kuchar they gonna kill ya they're not gonna preciate yeah but verse 26 when the comforter is come whom I was seen unto you from the she's almost like Daddy mama talking to the kids now it's gonna be alright cuz I've taken out good insurance so you so y'all won't have to be worried about that and and and now that insurance is is hanging up there in the kitchen on that meal that little thing so so y'all don't know where everything is say that best mama she's getting ready to go getting ready to go and she's talking about things as dearest and nearest to her sponsor her eye and she said now y'all you tell Mary that that take care of grandchildren issues you tell her so don't be running them streets you tell her to take shelter call those from time baby she got and tell her to be sure to take care she's talking about that which is dearest because he she was living she take care I'm ready but she is leaving now Jesus says in verse number 26 of verse of chapter 15 but when the comforter is come whom I will sing unto you from the father you see he keeps saying to them look I want you all done oh it's gonna be all right I want you all to know that I'm not leaving you by yourself I'm sending someone to walk with you talk with you and take care of it because pine don't get tough because he says that over here in verse 16 and 17 and 18 and he says now are they gonna hate you they're gonna eat you they go call your fanatic when you obey the gospel when you get baptized and become a member of the Church of Christ they go talk about you but he said I'm gonna send you somebody it's gonna be a comforter to you and he's gonna bring to your remembrance what I've said unto you so what did Jesus talk about what was what was closer to his heart than anything else just a few days before the cross we have him over here saying the comforter is gonna come watch for it now because it's gonna come happy when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide you into all truth he should not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he would take a man and show it to you and he will testify me because the cross he's standing in the shadow of that but he's not saying I'm afraid to go to the cross he's not saying I'm shaking because they gonna kill me that's not what do you say what he's saying is the Holy Spirit is gonna come now that cause I'm gonna take care of that because that's why I was born that's why I came into the world for that reason but you all I want you to know that I am sending you someone that's gonna get you through all of your trial and your tribulation I know you're gonna have them now I know all hell is gonna break through in your life but no I don't quit because he whom I'm Cindy he's gonna strengthen you and when the days get long and the night when the mountains get high and then low I'm saying you're someone who's gonna walk with you and talk with you and tell you you are mouths I want y'all to get this I want you to get this get this no worry about the factory or your girlfriend walked away from your boyfriend walked away from you don't you don't measure the value of your life by who walked away and sometimes the best thing that can ever happen to you is when somebody walk away they're singing a rapper you see it's important to understand oh that's og the closest thing to Jesus and the thing that was most dearest was that his fellows would understand that he was gonna sing the holy spirit see that's what are you saying because the world is gonna hate you and if you don't have the Holy Spirit as your friend you're gonna be in bad shape I think because if you expect you to Susan and walk with you all the way that Susan it won't be here some part of the way but don't you repeat those fools let her walk with you all the way never come a time when you have to walk by OSA you see understand that dynamic so the closest of the dearest thing to Jesus before the cross was getting his disciples to understand the importance of receiving the Holy Spirit of God it was so important to Jesus until the last thing that he talked about before he went to Pilate Hall the last meeting that he had with his disciples was remember that the Holy Ghost is going to come I got to go but the Holy Ghost is gonna come back and get you to understand it if I can get you to see that dwelling in you is the Holy Spirit of God and the devil can do you know how he can down here he can backstab here he can do all that have the foolishness but he need it's gonna be all right all right and I'm trying to give you and what Jesus I'm trying to get you ready for me and he just has over and over and whom of the comforter is probably but comforter was coming the comforter was coming and the laughs get this if you don't get bring it the last thing that Jesus talked to his disciples about was the coming of the Holy Spirit lastly before accident cause he talked to them about receiving the Holy Spirit before they paid him into a bloody pop the last thing he told his boys remember going back to my father but I'm going but I'm not gonna forget you I'm gonna send you the Holy Spirit and that's the last thing he talked to them about because that was what was dearest and nearest to his heart was the Holy Spirit and he wanted to make sure that his disciples understood the dynamics of the Holy Spirit and that's the last thing he talked about that's the last thing he talked about but get this did this what do you think was the first thing he talked about when he got up I just explained to you that last thing he talked about but now I'm going to show you the first thing he talked about his last conversation with his disciples was about the comforter that's going to come the last thing and he went to the court of chaos and from chaos to the court of Pilate Pilate sent him to Herod Herod sent him back to Pilate good he watched his ban and so I find no fault in him but he hired him to be scourge every beat him into an inch of his life and they hired him on the old working fault and it was bad and Joseph knew to suck the morning he got but when he got he said I'm going to find my disciple just what he talked about the last thing he talked about was the Holy Spirit now let's go to the 20th chapter of the book of Acts and let's find out what is that what is the first thing in the twentieth chapter of the book of Acts he has a risen from the grave and this is his first meeting with his disciples on Sunday morning after he rose from the dead after he rose from the dead he decides to meet with his disciples now it is important to understand that the Holy Spirit the hole is gone I think I Minister that statue ah John 19 ah just go that hole oh it is important to understand that the Holy Spirit was so important that jesus christ the son of god felt that it was important that his disciples understood the importance of the holy spirit even though he was only going to be away from them only three days but he wanted him to understand by holding even though I'm away from you three days he's gonna be all right well that's gonna be alright hold of those not gonna holy those not going to come what is it thought the very thought where thought is that even though he's gonna be me away the Holy Spirit is going to be our guy and so then he speaks to them about the coming of the Holy Spirit and then in the nineteenth chapter of the book of st. John at the nineteenth chapter of the book of st. John we find him meeting with his disciples for the very first time the very first night now you will see this when you read those chapters I told you to read 14 15 and 16 and 17 now you see in verse number 4 I mean the chapter them in Chapter number 17 he talks about the promise of the Spirit and in Chapter number 15 which out for 14 he talks about the comforter and in Chapter number 15 he's still talking about the Holy Spirit and he also talks about the confident the comforter in Chapter number 15 in Chapter number 60 guess what he's doing he's still talking about the Holy Spirit in verse number 7 he's still talking about the comforter in verse number 7 in chapter chapter number number 60 now when we get to chapter number 17 he's praying to his father he's telling his father to glorify Him and with the glory that he had with him even from the foundation of the world now when you get to 18 you get into his betrayal Judas is going to betray him and when you get to chapter number and and and what I just said kforce and Pilate and Herod and then hear about the pilot from then they beat him and and so forth and so on in verse them and that in Chapter number 19 they crowd of they put a crown of thorns on his head and he goes through the travail of a punishment and then as well as a death of Christ in verse a chapter number 9 he dies and the soldier pierced him at the side of the crossing cetera etc etc it's a beautiful rendition of the last hours of the Son of God the last hours of the Son of God and in the last hours of the Son of God we see what's on his heart was only as heart is that these fellows that's going to turn the world upside down they need to understand the verticality and the importance of understanding power of the Holy Spirit so now after he spoke to them about the comforter is going to come after he spoke to them about their clearly understanding that the whole spheres are going to be in them going to dwelling them and and and they need to receive him then of course he went through his trials and the cross and he died and having talked them about the Holy Spirit well then when he gets up when he when it went when he when the resurrection comes on the first day of the week this is Chapman we're not accepted number 20 ah the resurrection come and he rises from the dead and he appears unto Mary and then he appears to his disciples first when he appeared to of course is Mary and then then of course he appeared to his disciples now in verse number 19 of chapter number 20 now he's just got know you've been dead three days and three nights and now he he's conquered hail death and the grave and he's got enough then the same day at evening being the first day of the week he showed showed up on Sunday morning when the doors were shut but you see now he's he has a glorified body and he didn't need to open no dope I say man when you take he just walked right through there he just walked right through that door you walk right through the wall the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for the fear of the Jews came Jesus and stood in the midst and said unto them peace be unto you and it is the first meeting of his disciples after he told them about the Holy Ghost and then he was crucified slave died the bridge rose again now this is the first meeting with those same guys and in that meeting the last meeting was about the Holy Ghost not in the first meeting after the resurrection just what is about well a verse number 19 again then the same day evening being the first day of the week when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for the fear of the Jews came Jesus did in the message said to them peace be unto you and when he is so sad he showed unto them his hands and decide then where the decide was glad when they saw the law didn't seduce them again peace be unto you as my father has sent me even so at he go again see my father sent me now I'm gonna send you verse 22 and when he had said this he breathed on them and said unto them receive ye Holy Ghost first thing last thing I'm showing you how important oligo sees it hold it go suggest not some weird it's not a weird holy those is an important person and he was and he is so important until Jesus took the time his time I was from the cross I was from the cross and he used that time to say fellas don't forget the Holy Ghost is coming you gonna have a hard time but the Holy Ghost is coming and the Holy Ghost is gonna take care of you he's gonna bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever have said he's gonna lead you and he's gonna guide you he's gonna lead you into all truth he's gonna be your comforter he's gonna be apparently he's gonna walk beside he's gonna be he's gonna be in you now when I was down yeah I was with you but the Holy Ghost is gonna do you one better the Holy Ghost is gonna be in you so and wherever you go he's gonna go and then he wouldn't died and then as soon as he got up he went to find him as if to say now listen before I died I told you all them and I've conquered hell desert degree and I'm telling you again the importance of the Holy Spirit ah there is so much in here that I'll have to deal with it tonight in this in this 20th chapter here and when he had said this he breathed on them and I need to explain what they're me he said he breathed on them I'll do that tonight I explained what that means he breathed on them and said to them receive ye the Holy Ghost I need the answer requested here and that is did they actually receive the Holy Ghost at that point because that's what he said he said to receive ye though he breathed on them now what does that mean when he said he breathed okay that's powerful stuff though he breathed on them and then he said okay them receive he the Holy Ghost or did they actually receive the Holy Ghost at that point that's what he said so I need to explain it because there are those who teach that that the Apostles received the Holy Ghost at this meeting what I did not that because the Bible doesn't teach that and we'll deal with that tonight to show you what is meant here by he breathed on them and receive ye the Holy Ghost did they really receive it he said receive it not a question did they receive it well somebody got answer that question if they received it then then what did they receive on Pentecost are you following what I'm saying so somebody got to explain this in here here you see it's also important to understand those dynamics and tonight we'll deal with that and we'll show you how that Jesus spoke futuristically in the present tense are the children that so don't worry about it but I was explaining that tonight hi he spoke futuristically in the present tense you got a much because you see that that has to be explained you didn't let that go and said well the Bible says and I believe it it that's early I know that but you explained what did he mean and what did he do and what does it mean would he breathe them and when he said receive ye the Holy Ghost did he get it now he told his disciples he said now I am going to send the Holy Ghost to you which the world cannot receive now for those of you who were not members of the body of Christ Jesus says I'm gonna send the Holy Spirit to you which the world cannot receive now if you're not a Christian if you're not a child of God if you're not a member of the Lord's Church you cannot receive the Holy Ghost the world cannot receive those with what what do you mean by that preacher well John 3 the Bible says for God so loved the world will have camera thing of the world he loved the world so much until he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have get this Jesus God gave His Son to save the world Jesus came to save the world well why did he come to save the world because he was going to send the Holy Spirit and the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit unless they afraid oh you're mr. yeah you didn't get that you see the Wow cannot receive the Holy Spirit of God and the reason they cannot receive the Holy Spirit of God because the Holy Spirit of God was not sick to save the world there's never one of those big was there for his rib was not sick to save the world the Holy Spirit will sit to God the disciples to guide the Apostles and to be a comforter for all believers that's why the Holy Spirit was said he was not sick to save the world one who was sent to save the world Jesus Christ was it to save the way well who is gonna who is eligible to receive
