50s
“Now the main purpose that we can see, you know, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, why, the disciples has to wait to be clothed in power is for them to become effective witnesses for Christ. Acts one eight. The verse we mentioned a while ago says, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses. You need this power to be an effective witness for me in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and into the uttermost part of the world, to the ends of the earth. That's, why we need, empowerment.”

“So at Pentecost, the fire came. K? I believe it was the same fire. But now it is not just one, one fire, and it is not resting on a mountain or in a building, but on its disciple. Resting on each of them, making God's presence felt as he makes his dwelling in every disciple present at that moment. Now the presence of God is now resting in its of the believers. And therefore, for that matter, to all believers after after them.”
45s
“``There's no fire, but there's still the glowing embers. You can just stir it up, you know, and the fire will start again. Maybe you can put more, woods and logs, k, to make the fire ablaze again, to fire it up. Okay? And, it is in the same way with our spiritual, fervor, the fire that is inside us, sometimes it dies down. But what seems to be dead or dormant can be stirred up again and make it ablaze again because our gift is meant to be used, not to be kept. K? It's meant to be used.”

“You can never share the word of God to other people if you do not care for them. So you think you love God? Then love other people as well. No? Starting with the brethren. For that is how they will know we are indeed the children of God by the way we love each other. So a a spirit of not those not a spirit of fear, but a spirit of, power and of love, and then a spirit of a sound mind.”

“"Being confident of this very thing that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. The day of Jesus Christ, of course, is his coming in the last day where we will all receive the perfection. But for the moment, let us work out our salvation. Amen."”
31s
“"We have the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us. And we will, let us allow the Holy Spirit to really work, to minister in our life. He is the one who is doing the transformation. But what he needs is our willingness to be transformed. Our willingness to do our part in exercising all these things that he is working in inside of us."”
48s
“"Therefore, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to do for his good pleasure. Isn't this a wonderful thing? That even the desire to do good, God is working that in you. And he is putting that desire in you, not only putting that desire, but he is also helping you to do it. He's giving you the strength, the passion, the motivation, the encouragement to do all these things. You have a great God, and he will never leave us on our own."”
53s
“"Growing our faith is intentional. We do not just wake up one day and say, oh look, I'm mature. No, you have to go through all the process of working it out. Okay? And you cannot grow from a baby Christian into a mature Christian overnight. Or just as the expression goes, sometimes we use this expression, just let go and let God. Yeah, I think we can also use this expression in some instances. But it does not mean that it's all up to God, you know? We need to work out our salvation."”
47s
“"We work out, God works in. Again, we work out, God works in. Our text said, work out your salvation for it is God who works in you. This is what makes Christianity, Christianity unique from other religions. All religions in the world, as far as I know, believes in the merit of works. On self-help salvation. In fact, religion was created by man in a futile attempt to bridge the gap between God, a holy God, and a sinful human being."”
56s
“"Now context refers to the statement that precedes or follows a verse. When you read a verse, a passage, the context would be either before that or after that. Or maybe you can find the context in the whole chapter or even in the whole book. Okay? So a lot of verses in the Bible are actually now being used out of context. To support their belief or their idea. Okay? And the context is actually what the author was thinking or the truth that he is trying to convey when he wrote these things. So that is the context. That is what the author meant it to be."”
