#HolySpiritWithin
“And do you know what else? Point number three is? It's because we have the Holy Spirit. We have the Holy Spirit now. Now, the Old Testament, they didn't have the Holy Spirit with them. Then Jesus was born on this earth. He walked on this earth. They had Jesus with them that when he died and when he rose again and he went to heaven, he left us with the Holy Spirit. You see throughout all of time, God never left us alone. Not once. He was always there for us, and he is always there for us. And now when we believe in Jesus, have the Holy Spirit inside of us. Our spiritual dead hearts, because of sin, become alive and transformed by the Holy Spirit. Amen?”

#CosmosByDesign
“``Now the word between universe and cosmos really struck me while I was preparing for this message for this morning. Universe means the totality of space and time and matter and everything in it. This random universe of everything. Right? I was thinking about this. I'm thinking, I've never heard an atheist say cosmos before. I've heard atheists go on about the universe and how random it is and everything like that, how big it is, but God uses the words cosmos. Now I looked into it. Universe is Latin and cosmos is Greek, and cosmos means everything purpose purposely designed and harmoniously working together. That's what cosmos means. God intricately designed everything. The stars, the moon, the galaxies. It is the work of his hands, and he holds it in his hands. He is so big and powerful and strong and almighty, and that's the God that we serve, and that's the God who loves us so much.”

#FaithMadeNatural
“Amen. So when we believe in Jesus, we have the spirit of God living inside of us, indwelling inside of us. We are not alone, and he is there with us. It's because of these three things, it makes sense that it could be reasonable and logical to use our faith in the power of God. You see, it's only natural for us who believe to use faith in the power of God. It's only natural. It's a supernatural natural thing because when we are dead and we become alive, that's a supernatural act. But now it's just natural and normal to us all who believe in God.”

#FaithForAllBelievers
“See, it was God's purpose all along that we should live by this faith, live by the power of this faith that resides in us. So what this faith is not, this faith is not just for a select few people, not just for the elite Christians. It's not just for the chosen ones, or it's just not for an extraordinary experience that you feel as a once off. That's not what this faith is whatsoever. This faith is the ordinary faith of the believer, and not that there's anything ordinary about it. But what I'm saying, it's your stock standard amount of faith that you get when you believe. It doesn't change.”

#GraceForAll
“The gospel message simply is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Every single one of us. Not one of us can bridge that wall between us and God. And the wages of that separation, that sin that separates us from God like a wall is death. Not just physical death, eternal separation from God. But the gift of God is eternal life, the removing of the wall of separation. So that anyone who believes that gift of God is accepted, then they have eternal life in Christ Jesus.”

#GoodNewsEternal
“``The gospel is good news. It's not a lament. It's the very picture of God's intent. You see, just like the Berlin Wall separated from west, we were separated from God by sin. Separated and no way of getting over that wall. No way of getting through that wall. No way of getting under that wall. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, shall not be separated from God for eternity, but have eternal life. Life beyond this life.”
50s
#DayOfForgiveness
“Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sin, the very motivation of our hearts, and all the things we did wrong, all the things we've ever done wrong. That was what separated us like a wall that we can't cross. Separated from God, but Jesus' death paid the price for our sin so that we could be forgiven and receive forgiveness. Today is your day of forgiveness. Will you perceive it? Will you run with it? Will you receive it today? Confess with your mouth right now that Jesus is Lord. Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.”

#GodsPlanReturn
“There is an end coming. There is an appointed time. We need to perceive the revelation, herald the revelation, and hasten the culmination of the revelation by sharing the revelation. God has a plan and a purpose plan. Just as said in Australia then, you know, plan. If you remember anything else from my message, remember plan. God has a plan and a purpose. Once the gospel has been reached and heard across all nations, Christ is going to return, and he's coming back for those who believe in him.”
56s
#DontLimitGod
“``Everyone has faith, but not all use their faith. And living by faith is God's perfect will, plan, and purpose for our lives. My third point today, faith has limitless possibilities. Because it's faith in who? It's faith in God. And what is God limited by? Our faith. God's not limited by our faith, but we put limits on God's work in our lives and through us when we have lack of faith.”
72s
#FaithIsTheSwitch
“``Faith is the switch to the power of God in our lives. You can lean your faith against any issue you like. If you don't engage that faith, your Christianity will just lean against that tree like my power saw leaning against the limb of the tree. You got all the tools. We've got all the tools we need. The bible says we have everything pertaining to life and godliness. Life and godliness. Hello. The life part. The godliness part, he's done that in his righteousness. He's that's who I am. I'm righteous in Christ Jesus. The life part. That's what I'm talking about here. Everything pertaining to life and godliness. I don't just lean my Christianity up against something and hope it gets better. That's not active doing of the word. That's hearing the word and agreeing with the word, but not doing it. To do the word requires faith. It requires pressing the switch and pulling the trigger.”
