The Precious Holy Spirit

I want to begin by saying before we can correctly understand the power of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the Holy Spirit we really need to know the Holy Spirit himself because if we don't know him fanaticism will result who is the Holy Spirit so when we know him as a Divine person not so much because what most people talk about is its power most people talk about what they believe the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit but they focus on his power his gifts him his enablements but very few focus on the person who is the person of the Holy Spirit because once you know the person who is divine God almighty then you begin to understand he's worthy of your adoration he's worthy of your faith he is worthy of Your Love he is worthy of your surrender um when when when when when people see him as a power when they seem as gifts when they seem as influenced they really Rob him of who he is of his Divine being worthy of worship worthy of surrender that is due to the Lord and when people see the Holy Spirit as some mysterious power or mysterious influence uh uh in their weakness in in people's weakness they are trying to get hold of him out of ignorance but when people see him as a real person who is Holy wise Mighty tender then we want him to use us we surrender to him so when people say well or think the holy spirit is power or some mysterious influence in that ignorance they want to use that power but when they seem as a person who's Worthy of our adoration and faith and surrender and love and and now we we understand he's holy will not think about gifts and power and influence no he's holy he's he's so wise he's he's so mighty he he's so tender and loving we say all right Lord now use me I give you my life I'm not going to use you in my ignorance I want you to use me because I see who you are you're holy your your wise your Mighty your tender your loving you're caring and and so you know when when when people see the Holy Spirit as power they say well how can I get hold of him when they seem as a person they want the Lord to get hold of them they say Lord take take me and use me and so on so yes the holy spirit is a person and I want to just deal with that for the next few moments because this is what changed my life in 1973 when Catherine Coleman introduced him in a service that I was at in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania as a percent because she said the words she used was he's more real to me than you and suddenly something erupted in me when she said the words he is more real to me than you are and then she said he's all I have he's all I got please don't grieve him he's too precious to me she was crying out uh a Cry came in me Lord I want to know you like this and that's where I wrote and why I wrote good morning holy spirit because I felt this book I need to share what I learned through that amazing woman of God and then later when the Lord the Holy Spirit who is the Lord who revealed himself to me when I got on my knees that night never forget that as long as I live December 21st 1973. I said Catherine Goodman said you're a friend now she didn't really say those words but that's really what she said I said Catherine come and said you're no friend can I know you like that I don't think I know you but can I know you like that because you know whenever I was in church and I heard some amazing messages from the pastor of the church where I attended he never talked about the Holy Spirit in that way it was always about power and gifts and manifestations and feelings and emotions and goosebumps and all the rest of it but never did he in whatever time I was there in Canada at a church never one time did he even mention mention that the holy spirit is real a person as real as Jesus as a loving friend as a glorious Mighty helper who's always there to help us I mean he never said that to me I I never heard that from my pastor and those few words of Catherine Coleman changed my life when she said he's all I have thinking well well what would you say he's all I got please don't grieve him please don't hurt him I think he's protecting someone like that whom she loved and you know when I went to the church that I attended they thought noise was power they did all kinds of things and songs and dancing and tambourines everywhere but no no real no real presence of God and I told the story there was a there was a young man in church who had a demon he had a devil and the pastor Pastor Jim what's the name he would call people up every Sunday night to the altar not to be saved just to come to the altar and the same people always came back to Delta and I was not one of them I wasn't one of them because I thought it's two no need you know so a lot of us just stayed in our seats but they'd say anybody wants and whatever he gave some kind of an alcohol but it really wasn't for salvation it was for church after church Glory time they called it and that's what they called it Glory time and it was so Glory time there goes the poor group of people that wanted more something from Heaven they didn't they couldn't find you in the service and so anyways this guy goes down and I was sitting I think front or second row I can't remember and I see him passing by and I knew him I said hi to him a few times and I see him going by and he starts shaking a little bit and trust me people all around him were trying to rub it off of him and take some for themselves and they didn't know there was a devil in there it was really funny I knew the guy had had a demon because he told me so and he began trembling and shaking a little bit and those people around him began you know touching him and hoping that some of that would would come on them and this guy came with us to a Catherine common service later stood out because I said listen I said I said you're never going to find Freedom here I said why don't you come to Catherine's meeting and people get free there like this I said you come and during the service itself nobody has to lay hands on you you'll be free he came the Devils would not let him go in the service wow right before the doors open he began to freak out he began to to really go crazy and he couldn't breathe and this and this and he ran away and went to the hotel and I never I never saw me and I never saw him again the poor guy felt so so for him in church every Sunday he was looking for someone to help him for something and we all felt badly for him but nobody knew there was a devil in that guy he came on the bus so we took I think I've told you that he came on the bus because Jim pointer was such a loving man the man that really touched my life in a great way so Jim would take buses down to to Pittsburgh from Toronto and he had met him somehow too and and invited him to come with us and uh he he came he was a much much older guy at that time than me and so he came on the bus and the poor guy the whole time on the bus is hoping God would set him free And yet when he got to the door at five in the morning we were all at that door waiting for the doors to open at about eight service began about nine-ish and as the doors began to open he began freaking out the Devils attacked him right outside and he ran was so sad to watch but these are the results and today in many churches these are the results of no Holy Spirit Revelation in the hearts of the people they they hear a lot about gifts and power and imp and on and on nobody tells them there is a person a real loving tender wonderful helper always at your side ready to to help you in any emergency that comes up in life so when I got home from Catherine's meeting the first time now we had gone many times there was one time went with that we took that young man but I had been there before but when I went there the first time I came back home and I prayed that prayer I told you about on my knees that same night I said I don't think I know you can I really know you like this from there on something began happening in my life that many of you have read in in the book good morning Holy Spirit if you haven't please read it it'll probably help you but the one thing is that I began to say to him I said Reveal Your word to me you wrote the Bible I want to know it can you help me pray because I've read already how he helps us to pray I said can you please help me pray because I don't know how everything changed when I began talking to him Dr Bill bright had campus for Crusade a wonderful man of God who became my very dear friend for many years before he went to heaven and he moved to Orlando where I had lived at that time and he brought a young man with him and we would we would meet every month Dr Bill bright and I would meet for lunch and he brought a one of his people with him who was an evangelist very influential powerful man uh that worked with them who was very anti-charismatic very ultra-conservative Dr bright was very much like you and I he was he was people did not know that about him publicly but he was a real Holy Spirit Led man no doubt he really knew the Holy Spirit people didn't didn't know that but he and I talked about the Holy Spirit a lot and he was as precious and as loving uh of a man of God you that you you I've ever met so he brought one of his men and this gentleman was about to go on a trip and he looked at me said are you and we were talking about those the Holy Spirit and he he wasn't very happy about the discussion so he looks at me here's mad this gentleman Lucent man says are you telling me that I need to talk to the Holy Spirit as well he's a person isn't he said yes but I never thought about talking to him I said why don't you try he said well yeah but we're supposed to talk to God I said but he is God foreign so he said well but and he was a little confused in his head he said well who do I talk to I thought to the father to the son who holds I said there's no competition in the godhead what are you talking about and he kind of got all frazzled he was he wasn't uh ready for my for my wild ways because I was really going at him I said look I said you're about to go preach right because I he had said that he was on something Evangelistic to it I said yes he said yes I said okay you asked the Holy Spirit to help you up there on that platform I said don't you go on that platform before you invite him to go up with you he said okay I'll try that and I said how and I said ask him to help you preach you you need him when you preach don't you and I went through the scriptures with him of what the Lord said he will testify of me glorify me and he did it a few months later he came back he looked at Dr bright he said Benny is right I've never had moles I've I've never had more souls saved in my meetings I've never seen so much of the of God's presence in the in the in the in the services and Dr bright looked at him and smiled because he knew that but he he discovered that person is that real the holy spirit is that way if you're not asking for his help you are losing a lot you are losing a lot so the word of God tells us he is a person with knowledge he's a person with feelings he's the person with Will so go to First Corinthians chapter 2 for me you're going to read uh verse 10 11 because here you you see a person who thinks a person who feels a person who decides please read that will you yes sir okay verse 10 and 11 but God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit for the spirit searcheth all things yea the Deep things of God for what man knoweth the things of man save the spirit of man which is in him even so the things of God knoweth no man but the spirit of God okay now this says read verse then one more time and and notice what that says okay go ahead one more time but God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit for for the spirit searches all things stop anyone who searches as a as has a mind had thoughts he searches all things even what the Deep things of God that's a lot of searching yes sir that's a lot of thinking yeah okay and keep reading for what man knoweth the things of a man savior oh stop stop so he is he knows he has knowledge keep going for what men knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him even so the things of God knoweth what no man but but the spirit of God so he knows tremendous knowledge such a an amazing person to know things we need to know now here the Bible tells us knowledge he's he's a being that knows truth go to First Corinthians 12. and look at verse 11 because there it tells me he has a will a person of sovereign Majesty who uses us according to his will okay read a First Corinthians 12 11. but all these worketh that one and the self-same spirit that's right dividing to every man severally as he will so here we see the Holy Spirit as a person of sovereign Majesty Sovereign Majesty using us according to his will so earlier we we saw thoughts knowledge now we see will let's look at something else I think it's so precious let's look at Romans 8 27 because here you see feelings emotions read that Romans 8 27 and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit because he maketh intercession for the Saints according to the will of God now that includes thought that includes purpose that includes feeling read that again and he that searches the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit you know that that word mind includes thought includes feelings includes purpose so when he says mind of the spirit he's saying thoughts feelings purpose so read that again sir and he that searches the hearts knoweth what is the mind that is the spirit God the Father searching the hearts knows the mind the thoughts the feelings the purpose behind the thoughts of the Holy Spirit and because he maketh intercession for the Saints according and think and think about that intercession intercession includes purpose deep knowledge deep thought the personality of the husband comes right through those verses but now look at something else look at emotions look at Romans 15 verse 30. look at one of the most touching verses about the Holy Spirit one of the most touching Revelations of truth about the Holy Spirit is Romans 15 30. it says what now I beseech you brethren for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake and for the love love of the spirit For the Love of the spirit okay I just gave you enough verses to convince people he really is a person but it's way more than that there's way more than that so how often do we think about the love of God all the time how often do we think about the love of Jesus all the time but how often do we think about the love of the spirit rarely but Paul thought about that when you wrote that yes sir read it again sir Romans 15. now I beseech you Brethren he says I beseech you keep going for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake and For the Love of the spirit wait wait for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake for what he did on the cross for what he continues to do in your life for who he is as Savior King and God almighty and For the Love of the spirit that you strive together with me in your prayers this is so powerful it really is that that we cannot even pray right without knowing the love of the Holy Spirit we cannot pray right read that again it's so powerful now I beseech you brethren for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake yeah for his sake for his person for what he did and what he does and continues to do in our lives and and For the Love of the spirit that deep amazing truth so moving so touching keep going and he strived together with me in your church yeah well you cannot strive and pray without knowing what Jesus did and the love of the spirit okay let me explain that now let's talk about the love of the spirit um here we see something let me just show you something I think so far the love of God sent Jesus to Earth for God so loved the world the love of the father send Jesus to it the love of the son the love of Jesus was what was so displayed with such Glory when he died for the Saints so the father sends him for the Saints he dies for the Saints he dies for the church but where would we be if the Holy Spirit did not draw us into that love would be lost so the father sends the son out of love Jesus dies because of love and the Holy Spirit now draws Us in love he's the one who brings us into that love of God so none none of us would know that Jesus died without the Holy Spirit revealing it so this is why he says for the sake for Jesus sake For the Love of this but pray for me pray with Earnest prayer Pray with intensity pray and mean it let's go to Nam to Nehemiah 9 20. because here we see that the Bible calls him the all-loving good Holy Spirit Nehemiah 9 20. thou gave us also thy good spirit good spirit to instruct you gave them your good spiritombone Israel to instruct them you did you did not withhold manna from their mouth because of the goodness of the Holy Spirit you gave them water for The Thirst because of the goodness of the holy spirit it's connected that whole verse is connected you gave your good spirit to instruct you gave your good spirit to give them Manna you gave you good spirit to give them water while they rebelled while they wanted to go back to Egypt the holy spirit is all goodness not just all love he's all goodness and he is such an amazing person he's such a loving person he's such a patient person patient with me I don't deserve that patience yeah we call him Jesus he is the spirit of Jesus and I was listening to Pastor Chris when he said that I call him the holy spirit is Jesus you know with no limit because he is the spirit of the Lord when people ask me who is he he's Jesus unlimited but the thing that is really important is we have to understand the holy spirit is the one at work today in our hearts in our lives it's his voice we hear so today I was praying and the Lord spoke and said something very beautiful to me and I thanked him but who was speaking whose voice was I hearing the one in me now the one in me this blessed person who comes to dwell in our hearts look at Ephesians 4 30. it says something very very powerful here and we all should know that that that that by heart I'm still focused on the personality grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby you are sealed whereby you are sealed whereby you are sealed you know what what a seal does right a seal that just says it's mine no one will own this I see it to be mine I bought it put a down payment on it sealed with the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption not just sealed for only a week or two seal till you are in the presence of the world but this amazing person who who dwells in our hearts who sees every Act every performance every word we speak every thought we think about if anything that in in that act or word or deed is impure or Unholy or unkind or selfish or untrue it deeply Grieves him so grieve not read that again yes yes and grieve not the holy spirit of God now wait wait foreign of the holy spirit of God who is who is in your heart who sees every Act who hears every word who knows every thought within you and if there's any act or any word or any thought that is impure that is Unholy that is unkind that is selfish that is untrue this precious one inside of you is wounded you wound him deeply it says so grieve not the holy spirit of God you cannot you cannot grieve is something you grieve a someone um this verse alone should convince people he is a real beautiful sensitive person that's why his emblem is a dove a dove now gentle as a dove and here the words grieve not the Holy Spirit I pray God will cause those words to sink in our hearts and and sing so deep to keep us from sinning against him to keep us from grieving you grieve not the Holy Spirit I pray those words today all throughout the world in every pastor's life and everyone one's life who's listening I pray those words will sink deep in your hearts sing so deep that you will not sin against them that to know if I hurt him so much if I grieve him so deeply the one who loves me so deeply in an eternally if I am grieving him like that with my impure thoughts and impure words in pure Deeds with my selfishness with on with my lives I'm grieving it so I'm going to stop all that so I don't grieve him so we're talking about very we're talking about a very blessed precious holy deeply loving eternally love it person that Jesus would say if you speak a word against me I'll forgive you you speak a word against them I won't that's really scary yes if you speak against me Jesus said the Son of God himself I will forgive if you ask me but if you say one word against the Holy Spirit there is no forgiveness not even my blood will wash that sin for me that is frightening if you dare blaspheme him you will never be forgiven there is no forgiveness to the one who blasphemes the Holy Spirit why he is that Holy he's called holy holy Holy Spirit in the Bible Holy Spirit every time you see his name Holy Spirit Holy Spirit and this blessed Holy Spirit can be easily grieved I've said to him many times you can punish me all you want never leave the Lord you can punish me all you want because we deserve that punishment and Punishment shows us he loves us you know but never leave us because living is is very frightening more frightening than we can ever imagine because once he leaves he he doesn't come back rarely comes back and we don't know where he lives we all know when he comes but he never announces his departures the holy spirit is so precious he announces his arrivals never his departures when he came all Jerusalem knew it when he left Samson he didn't even know it Samson did not know it says he wished not that the Lord left him so it's very it's it's very scary people go on you know trying to shake themselves like Samson you know they're shaking that doesn't work no more because they say she shook himself it was fine a few times and then the shaking didn't didn't do it because the Lord had gone may we may we never grieve him that deeply Lord may we never grieve you that deeply that you live our life Lord never please leave us never please like David I pray create in us a clean heart renew our right Spirit within us please Lord please take not your Holy Spirit from us restore to us the joy of Salvation if we lost it uphold us with a willing heart in Jesus name and the people said amen that is my I pray that prayer I think more than any other prayer create and make Clean Heart oh God renew our right spirit with him cast me not away from thy presence take not thy Holy Spirit from me restore unto me the joy of thy salvation uphold me with a willing heart and spirit so shall I teach transgresses your ways and sinners be converted to thee I pray that probably more than any prayer in my life because he can leave he can leave now this precious Holy Spirit who reveals the depth of God like we just read earlier in the first one who searches the depth of God the Bible says in Revelation 2 7 it says he speaks to us out of the depth of his own wisdom so read Revelation 2 7 for us he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God but but the the the the thing I want to point out to you is he that have ears to hear Let Him hear Let Him hear what the holy spirit is saying to the church even now while I'm talking Let the church hear from the depth of his wonderful wisdom from his blessed truth in the word and think about this amazing loving holy Eternal person God almighty God almighty cries within us you know today there's a lot of people questioning the deity the deity of the Lord and the deity of the Holy Spirit there are five things you look at when it comes to deity five things number one and let me also add I'm not talking divinity I'm talking deity because because in today's world people may believe someone is divine but they don't believe he is God 2 000 years ago deity and Divinity meant the same thing today deity and Divinity don't mean the same thing because of the many Falls Gods out there and false individuals who claim to be divine but God is deity not only Divinity he's not only he's not only Divine he's deity so what proves deity five things number one omnipotence all powerful Satan cannot claim that man cannot claim that number one all might omnipotence number two omniscience all-knowing all-knowing number three omnipresence so for God to be God he has to be all-powerful he has to be all-knowing and he has to be present at all places at the same time number four unchangeable unchangeable number five eternal these are the five attributes of deity deity only God almighty we see those five Revelations of him and attributes in the Bible in his amazing power no one can claim that but God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and if you're in the Bible you will see clearly that the holy spirit is Almighty he's called the power of the highest he's all-knowing we just read it he knows the Deep things of God is ever present what does it say in the Psalms where shall I flee from your spirit Psalm 139 verse 7 where shall I go from your presence if I am in heaven you're there if I'm in hell you're there if I take the wings of the morning you're there he is unchangeable the same yesterday today forever God Almighty eternal so he is God Almighty and this wonderful person who is God Almighty who speaks to us from the depth of his wisdom the truth of God's word this beautiful person who is God cries within us look at Galatians 4 6. cries within every believer praise through us read Galatians 4 6 it says what and because ye are Sons God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts crying Abba Father he is the spirit of his son he is his Spirit and the spirit of his son yeah that's why I say he's Jesus with no limit he sent him into our hearts to cry Abba Father this these are powerful words because when the Holy Spirit is crying Abba Father he is telling us We Are Family we are adopted he causes us to be a part of the family hear the Holy Spirit the minute the Holy Spirit came into your heart and and my heart we became family the family of God imagine what family family think about your mom your dad your family on Earth you are family with God almighty your family with Jesus your family with the Holy Spirit you're not family with the angels your family only with people with three father son Holy Spirit and may I shock you you won't be family in heaven with your mother you want me family with your papa your grandma or even your children because that's the Earthly side of family but in in heaven It's a Brand New Day it's a brand new beginning eternal glory with God almighty yeah we will know I believe we will know that so and so was my dad or was my mom and was my brother and sister but will there really be families in that way we think about families in heaven I don't believe so because the Bible says whom do I have in heaven but thee whom do I have in heaven but the oh that's powerful whom do I have but the Lord You're all you're all in all and that is something we must understand when we are born again we become members members of the family of God he doesn't let us go easily do you let you do you let your family go easily on In the Flesh you do you forsake them easily no you love your children even when they're bad even when the rebellious you love them still you forgive them easily much more easily and you forgive your neighbor much more easily you forgive somebody that that is close to you as a friend oh how quickly you forgive your children how quickly you forgive those you love now think about God almighty will he let you go that easy never never overall Roberts years ago was telling me how beautiful that day was for me when he told me that God does not let us go easily he fights to keep us even when we are rebellious oh that was so touchy years ago but here the holy spirit is crying Abba Father and look at Romans 8 26 because now we see something even more well more revealing about this in Romans 8 20 26 it says what likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the spirit itself or himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered that's incredible not only is he crying Abba Father he's crying through us read that again likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which can so so he is he is crying out we just read earlier Galatians 4 6. he cries out Abba Father on our behalf and he cries out prayers we cannot pray ourselves with intensity you got to read that one more time likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities because we don't know how for we know not what we should pray we don't know how to pray even even though we say well prayer warriors this I've never met one prayer Warrior on or they don't even know what they're what they're saying it's the Holy Spirit within us that's it yes keep going but the spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groaning groanings that cannot be uttered by a human being in the flesh that's why we need him that's why we're really in Media today a lot of the prayer meetings you you listen to It's all noisy stuff it's it just wears you out you're just watching it but when the Holy Spirit prays it is so beautiful and think about think about the fact we can't lose because here you have someone God Almighty the Holy Spirit praying through you with groanings that you cannot utter yourself and in heaven Hebrews 7 25 and in heaven Jesus is praying for you one is praying through you and one is praying for you you can't lose can you wait hold it one is praying through you and one is praying for you how can you lose so Hebrews 7 25. wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever ever liveth to make intercession for them it's incredible so here we have the Holy Spirit as real and as divine as Jesus God Almighty just like Jesus who walks by our side dwells in our innermost that's praying for us who knows us better than we know ourselves and from the depth of our being he's making intercession to the father on our behalf and here is Jesus in heaven praying for us with the same intensity wow can't lose and and the Holy Spirit that precious blessed person according to John 15 26 you're going to read for us this precious person is the one who testifies through us he's not only praying for us he also speaks through us he testifies through us we become Witnesses with him of who Jesus is in our life read that again read John 15 26. but when the comforter is come it's awesome I'm so thrilled to say it the one who prays through me testifies through me he's the one preaching really not me yes John 15 26 but when the comforters come whom I will send unto you from the father even the spirit of Truth which proceedeth from the father he shall testify of me we are his Witnesses but it is the Holy Spirit who really is witnessing and testifying using our vessel to witness through using our vessel to testify through we are partners with him in Witness we are partners with him in as he testifies amazing every one of these verses I have given you points to one thing personality personality personality there's a person there that is living through you praying through you testifying through you there's a teacher inside of you a teacher inside of you did you hear what I said teacher inside the greatest teacher is inside of you John 14 26. not only does he help us oh okay read it and then I'll say what I'm going to say yes sir but the comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name he shall teach you all things all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you that's incredible not only does he help us to understand truth but he is the person who daily is teaching us that truth day by day as our divine teacher read that again but the comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the father will send in my name he shall teach you all things and bring all three remember all things now now you've got it you gotta listen to me and I'm I'm almost done I'm almost done so stay with me a few more minutes but I want to say something that is really important how did the apostles remember what Jesus said what Jesus did with such accuracy to write it to church and then to another church another house church and then before they went to heaven and before they were most of them martyred gave us the Gospels and the and the New Testament that we know today there was no new testament after the Ascension they did not have Matthew Mark Luke and John for a long time the early church they did not have the book of Acts and the Epistles so think about that for 50 years or more the early church did not have a new testament to read in present Israel and in Antioch and so on they only had the Old Testament but how did those writers how did Matthew how did Mark wrote it from Peter and how did Lou Who most likely heard it from Paul or someone else no the details how did John remember after all those years there's the there's the answer yeah he shall bring that again just the last part he shall teach you all things and bring all things to you remember to your remembrance and that's what happened yeah but he also does that with us that whatever he reveals to us it's brought to our remembrance our attention that's why I tell people listen if you ever have someone give you a prophecy if you don't if you don't remember it it was not God if you don't remember it in a week or two or a month or a year it just didn't happen it was someone and it was not the Lord saying saying because when God speaks you can't forget it I can tell you prophecies I've had 40 years ago when God really spoke but somebody gives you a prophecy a week or two ago and they Mumble something and you're wondering oh did somebody tape it you don't need anybody to tape it because when God speaks it you don't need to have a tape of it you'll remember every word that is the holy spirit's work that is the work of the Holy Ghost and I've had promises given over my life that I remember every word and when they happen who gave them and where I was and I'm talking 50 years ago whenever people prophesy over me some of some of them and I just dismissed it because I didn't you know you you know in your heart they're just trying to impress you but when is the holy spirit oh you can't forget it you just can't forget it because you know how can you be comforted how can you be exalted and edified and covered if you can't remember it it says prophecy it's forever for edification exhortation Comfort how can you be edified if you forget what what the man said or the woman said I'm at my point now the Holy Spirit not only is that witness within us testified is also our amazing teacher like I told you okay he's teaching us the truth of God day by day and and he's also our leader a leader is the one who guides us he is the boss in your life on Earth because Romans 8 14 makes it very clear that he is our guide Jesus said he will guide you but he's our leader let's read please Romans 8 14 also because it's been there's more than one verse about that as many as or what led by the Holy Spirit they are the sons of God so he's taking you by the hand gently leading you and I in in in the ways we should go in the path we should walk upon and here is also one who who leads us so beautifully that he prevents us from going to places God does not want us to go to Acts 16. I'm almost done almost done I want to pray I just wanted to remind you all of you that he the holy spirit is there for you please don't ignore him please don't ignore me would you like to be ignored no do I want to be ignored no don't let's never ignore him again let's invite him and welcome him into our lives daily as our teacher as our guide asking for his help daily he is within us is in your heart you and him are one one acts 16 Verse 6 and 7 says what it says that he prevented Paul he prevented them it's really for me now when they had gone throughout it's okay and the region of galatia and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach they were forbidden to preach the word nature why because he was preventing them from going out of God's will going out of God's will so here he is such a blessed guide not only to take us by the hand and lead us in the path we should walk in but here he is also preventing us from leaving that path leaving God's will doing our own thing and not God's Will and then we end up in trouble in most cases but here he is so precious one that has authority to tell you no you're not going there I sat with Oral Roberts Auto Roberts I would go see him every time I had a big Crusade overseas I'll go see him he was my neighbor for 20 years or more and I would I I got on my knees and he would lay his hands on me not saying now dog I called him dog for Doctor doc pray for me I'm going to India I'm going to some place in Africa I'm going to Asia and he would pray and and he'd say I'm going with you and my heart I'll be there with you and it was so precious to be to be so close to a man of God like that and one day I came in and I said lay hands on me I'm going to Liberia and he looked at me I'm sitting on a chair about five feet away from him and I'm about to get up and kneel and he wouldn't let me come he said sit down first time ever he stared and he stared and he stared at me till I became very uncomfortable very uncomfortable I knew God was talking to him his eyes became a blaze you know and he said you go to Liberia and you'll come back in a casket and God will judge you for dying early I just couldn't believe what I heard he gave me the word of the Lord so clearly to say no you're not going I just been invited by the president of Liberia years ago this is years ago through a man named Pastor John Jimenez and two weeks before the Crusade I am sitting in AutoZone and he tells me if you go you're going to come back in a casket and God will judge you for dying early and I said I'm not going I called John Jim and asked Pastor John Pastor John Jimenez I said I can't go to Liberia he got very angry he said how dare you cancel the whole nation is waiting for you because billboard is everywhere I say listen although Roberts told me I'm going to die and I will not die I'm not going he said you believe that man I said you bet I believe that man and I know in my heart that Allah learns from God oh he was so upset with me John was so upset with me two weeks later to the day there was a war that erupted in Liberia and the president that invited me was out of power and people were killed in Liberia and I would I would have been one of them and I said thank God for Oral Roberts it was it shook me up because a civil war broke out had I gone a civil war would have been going on while I was there imagine that a man of God but it was the Holy Spirit who loved me enough to say you're not going um and he's done that more than once more than once I went to India back in the early 2000s and someone invited me to go back years later and the Lord warn me again you're not going and I had to cancel and they they they they were writing right after that on the streets before I came and I said I'm not going but it was it was oral and others and my mom was was actually one of them who said he said no God says no wow and I have to stop it and there were thousands of people waiting for me no my brother don't you dare go what God has not sent you if there's a million people waiting for you don't you dare I'm talking to somebody and you know in your heart it's dangerous you wait till God opens the way you wait till the holy spirit opens the way and today we need him the Holy Spirit more than ever because he is the one here on Earth John 16 7 please as I close he is the one on earth who is now in the place of Jesus on Earth it says what nevertheless I tell you the truth it is expedient for you that I go away yeah if I go not away the comforter will not come unto you but if I depart I will send him unto you it was necessary for the Lord to leave and represent us before the father for another person to come and take his place and I believe this is the promise of the father acts 1 4 I call it the promise of promises the promise of promises acts 1 4 and I'm going to pray and being assembled together with them commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem but wait wait for the promise of the father who is the promise of the Father the Holy Spirit he's the promise of the promise the great promise of the Father the promise of all promises Lord

he that hath and hear to you let him hear what the spirit said we are your church never stop talking to us we don't want to hear any other voice but you're sweetest blessed Holy Spirit Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Lamb of God one voice millions of souls when young Benny Hinn first became a Christian his heart quickly yearned to share his Newfound Faith with others at first it was just one voice leading his family members to Christ one by one culminating in the moment in the family's living room when both of his parents bowed their heads and were gloriously saved then miraculously during the very first time Benny hen ministered publicly his lifelong stuttering disability was healed the moment he stood to speak the adventure was just beginning that slender young preacher's voice was Amplified electronically as his reputation grew through the 1970s and 1980s his voice became a regular presence on a growing number of local television stations as well as National coverage on the Trinity Broadcasting System network of cable broadcast and satellite systems in the 1990s with the phenomenal successes of his International best-selling book good morning Holy Spirit and with increasing exposure on television with his program this is your day his voice was broadcast to vast unseen multitudes quickly becoming one of the most popular inspirational broadcasts then during the 2000s in addition to history making Crusades Benny Hinn's One Voice reached new heights of exposure at history's largest healing services around the globe in addition one state-of-the-art Technologies more quickly made obsolete by the very latest methods these changes included moving from magnetic audio and videotapes to digital formats as information technologies have quickly changed the revolution influenced every area of our ministry during the 2010s and into the 2020s with accelerated breakthroughs on many fronts Benny Hinn Ministries has been able to emerge again and again on The Cutting Edge crest of Innovations during the worldwide covid pandemic at a time when both Ministries organizations and businesses were floundering Benny Hinn's voice grew with the Advent of Live And interactive internet services come check you today yes and you'll see a miracles happen to you roll it bless you I receive it no no I'm telling you factually the healing has begun where he once ministered in person to record-breaking audiences he was able to instantly reach to the unlimited uttermost today nearly 50 years after his one voice began proclaiming the gospel message of Salvation and healing Benny Hinn has spoken to billions through Crusades television and the internet Benny hens One Voice continues to grow because of God's anointing and the faithful support of his Partners the Adventure Continues Benny hen Ministries has stayed on The Cutting Edge for the past five decades making the move from analog television to digital broadcasts HDTV the internet streaming live events and social media today's fast-changing bold New World brings an entirely new set of challenges what we did in 1974 when this ministry began or in 2000 or even 2022 will not be effective in 2023 and who knows what 2024 and Beyond will bring where we once good spend four years converting from standard to high definition we now have far less time to change our Technologies now we have only months we must move quickly and cost effectively especially into breakthrough areas of ministry preserving the past for future Generations the ministry of Christian Media Pioneers such as Billy Graham Catherine Coleman Paul Crouch and Rex Humbert have been marked by quickly adapting to the newest methods of communication Benny Hinn's Ministry has been at the Forefront of each Innovation that provides a better way of taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world more effectively and efficiently today more than ever before we stand on the edge of a bold New World from the beginning we have been faithful in preserving our Legacy with the available technology the mountains of tapes now centrally located in Texas are evidence of that long ago the Lord made it clear that keeping and storing all archives and resources should be a top priority and we've been very careful to keep all of the recordings Through The Years in addition to groundbreaking Crusades Miracle services and this is your day programs we have historic interviews with Oral Roberts Rex humbard and so many other world leaders yet insidiously hidden among all the mountains of videotapes and audio recordings is something no one could have imagined when these were freshly recorded and cataloged with the passage of Time Has Come deterioration this is a new hour this is the Joshua generation I want to tell you something the first thing God said to Moses is go down the first thing he said to Joshua is arise [Music] we're not people are going down we are ones who are rising up even with control temperature storage facilities time has been the enemy tape warping Decay housing detachments cracks shredding and breakdowns happen chemical changes start to happen with the lubricant in a video tapes binder layer worse the transfer process is brought with potential danger since each use of analog tape can cause irretrievable loss of data and content older tapes break disintegrate and require surgical type methods of restoration thus far we've rescued and digitized 10 500 of the 13 437 tapes from the past half century to God be the glory a conservative estimate to finish this digitation process is a million dollars to restore the final 30 percent of these disintegrating tapes and move everything over to a much more permanent digital format the project already started can be completed fairly quickly certainly in plenty of time for our ministry's golden anniversary in 2024 God has given us the technology to use for his purpose and he will hold us accountable for preserving the unique anointing on this ministry we cannot delay the area of major opportunity is artificial intelligence also called AI imagine if you will what could happen if all of our digitized material could be used to translate everything into every language on Earth it is possible even better how exciting would it be to translate these materials using the same voice as originally spoken yet in all of the different dialects around the world Pastor Benny speaks several languages but imagine if his teachings became available online with him speaking in Swahili Mandarin Portuguese Belarusian or Cherokee this amazing AI tool will be useful around the world but imagine how it could impact people closer to home suddenly Pastor Benny and his guests can be on stage or on sets speaking with their voices making their cadences and tones but sharing the gospel in a virtually unlimited number of native languages it's time to finish the job through digitation pastor Annie's Legacy life's work calling and anointing will be preserved for Generations yet to come until the Lord returns and with artificial intelligence tools that can translate all of the digitized materials into languages around the world we can truly fulfill our Lord's Great Commission nearly 50 years ago this great adventure known as Benny Hinn Ministries began with one voice today that one voice continues to be Amplified over and over through every possible means what happens next will be the greatest blessing of all [Music] in it wonderful What the Lord Has Done and to Jesus be all the glory I wanted to show you this beautiful report about the digitizing of thousands and thousands of hours already of the great meetings from the past because we want to keep on for our children grandchildren and great-grandchildren we would have lost a lot of these tapes had we not started working on them I want to say thank you for helping us but we are still not finished we have 4 000 hours still to complete we've completed 10 000 hours already 10 000 hours and you saw the difference with the before and after we were actually losing the tapes and now here they've come back to life because of your help and I want to say thank you with all my heart for helping us but the job is not done yet we have got to finish the job now four thousand hours and then we're going to start the translations what you heard today was the voice of a robot talking it wasn't a lady it was actually a robot talking to you and isn't that amazing that this can be done but now we can do it in every language on Earth I wanted you to get a little taste of the voice of a person but it wasn't really a person a lady just kind of talked and then they copied her voice and what I'm gonna do now is I they're gonna have me tape my voice in English and they're going to translate everything you that that you'll see in the future in every language on the globe every language think about the impact it's going to have worldwide when we show the great Crusades the great meetings OCC days the great conferences and so much more not only in English but in every language on the globe so let's finish the job first with the 4 000 hours left to be digitized and please please please help me now because we don't want to lose those tapes the longer we wait then they they will you know they won't even be able to work with them but you saw what has happened you saw the difference you saw the bad you know pictures from the past and how new now how they came back to life so beautifully because of the new equipment and the way they do it now so we need your help still so thank you thank you I just wanted to show you that your money is doing the job what you give in the past is really making it happen but let's keep doing for the Lord please this is for His glory I talk to young people all the time who have seen things from the past and their life has been changed I was in a place not long ago in a restaurant in fact we were showing this waitress what God did in Venezuela because she's from Venezuela and she was as glued we showed it you know on the phone and now you can show all this
