#RadicalDiscipleship
“We love the idea of God. We love the idea of not going to hell. We love the idea of having someone who has forgiven us. But when it comes to sacrificial discipleship living in which our lives are given completely over to him, This is where we struggle because how many know there's a difference between church going and being a disciple? You could go to church your whole life. was there and still have myself on the throne of my own life. The reality is is if you call yourself a disciple, if you ever got on your knees and said, God, fill me and take my life over, be my king and my lord and my savior, then it means that you have said yes to a discipleship, to walking a narrow road, to saying no to your flesh, to forgiving people, to walking in an upside down kingdom with a radical god who asks something of you besides showing up on a Sunday.”

#SpiritOfRestoration
“His promise in Matthew 28 was that he would be with us always. How is he able to be with us always? He's able to be with us in and through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. And so while they were fearful, Jesus told them, don't fear because wherever I am and if I'm in you and I am with you and I'm walking alongside of you and when we're supping together and walking together, when you wake up and you recognize the power of God that is in you, it's me. When the devil lies to you, I'm there. When you've been hurt from your past, I am there. I am he who reconciles all things, brings all things, restores all things. I have chosen you to be a part of that restoration.”

#TrinitarianTruth
“And friends, he dwells in you and in me. The Holy Spirit is a gift given to us that we might stand and that we might be able to do more than we ever thought we could do. Our primary scripture bears witness to this in John 14, where we see a primary example of the Trinitarian language, which is important because some people will argue, particularly people of other world religions, there is no word for Trinity in the gospel. And yet the Trinity, father, son, holy spirit are known, intertwined, and always working in concert with one another.”
47s
#SpiritEquips
“The Holy Spirit is asking something of us. Now, yes, there are false tongues and there are false people who will do all manner of things, but when you're filled with the Holy Spirit, you don't worry, you don't trip about that stuff because you have the Holy Spirit to teach you. You don't become over angry or worried. You just simply move and you pray for those individuals. I'm here to bear witness to the fact that the Holy Spirit does move. He does inspire. He does feel. He does equip. And he does cause the soul to experience something altogether unnatural because it's supernatural.”
63s
#HolySpiritIsPersonal
“He filled the room in second Chronicles so that the priests were so unable to minister because of his power and his presence. He overshadowed Mary, causing her to be filled with the one who would become the Christ child. He filled believers at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit is best understood as a he, for he is personal, and he can be known, and he can be experienced. Holy Spirit has a mind. The Holy Spirit has a will. The Holy Spirit grieves. The Holy Spirit gives joy. The Holy Spirit teaches. The Holy Spirit convicts and guides. But believers, in this hour, I want you to know that the Holy Spirit reveals truth.”
47s
#PrismaticGod
“Scripture has much to reveal about the Holy Spirit. His presence, his personality, and his power. Much like a diamond, when you hold it up to the light, you will find what we call a prism. Multiple facets of light that come through this diamond. That is kind of like what God is. God is never multifaceted. He's never flat. He is always prismatic, full of light, and full of life, and full of power, which he has given to his people that we might stand in power, not in arrogance, pride, religiosity, or denominationalism, in power to proclaim him who brought us out of darkness.”
41s
#MeetTheHolySpirit
“You don't become over angry or worried. You just simply move and you pray for those individuals. I'm here to bear witness to the fact that the Holy Spirit does move. He does inspire. He does feel. He does equip. And he does cause the soul to experience something altogether unnatural because it's supernatural. In fact, my desire today is not to preach or teach on baptism or infilling. Instead, I want to introduce you in the time that I have to the person of the Holy Spirit.”
35s
#HolySpiritHelpUs
“Yes. So while we look sometimes out at the world angrily, may we begin by looking humbly and asking, holy spirit, help us. Help us to be loving. Help us to be faithful. Help us to be forgiving. Help us to open wide the doors. Help us not to look at people and say they don't belong. Help us to be your representation. Help us to be like you in every way that the world will say what is in her. I want that”
23s
#EnemiesOfGiftedness
“But there are some enemies to us living in our spiritual giftedness. And two of the most deadly enemies of our giftedness are perfectionism and individualism. Perfectionism and individualism are serious roadblocks to the people of God living in their spiritual giftedness.”
17s
#GiftedOnPurpose
“You have been given spiritual gifts on purpose. It is not an accident that you are gifted. You've been given spiritual gifts by God. You didn't go to a vending machine and choose the gift that you want. You've been given gifts for a purpose. You are to use them for God's glory.”
