``When our life, both public and private, is in alignment, we set a table for him. We set a table for the Holy Spirit. And we can be sure that he will come and sit and he will come and dine and he will come and be with us. We can be sure that there is nothing hindering his power. We can be sure there is nothing hindering his presence from being seen and being felt. Why? Because we are in alignment with him. [01:04:17] (34 seconds)  #SetTableForHolySpirit Download clip

Because if YouTube can talk you, excuse me, if I can talk you into it, YouTube can talk you out of it. If I can talk you into it, whatever news program you watch can talk you out of it. Whatever grandma you listen to can talk you out of it. Whatever person that you bring to that's not in the Spirit of God can talk you out of it. That is why he says, I'm not trying to come to you with all of these fancy words and all of these fancy things, but a demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

There is clear evidence of a life that is lived in alignment with the Holy Spirit. Galatians chapter 5. Let's keep going down in that same paraphrase in verse 22. It says, But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you, the evidence that the Holy Spirit is living in you, the evidence that you are in alignment, the harvest of the seed of the Holy Spirit living on the inside of you is this, joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtues, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.

Do not continue to hold on to something that's dead. If the spirit is the source of life, of our life, we must also allow the spirit to direct some aspects of our life. A few aspects of our life, one or two aspects of our life. No, we must allow the spirit to direct every aspect of our life. Every aspect.

Transformation is not a one -time experience. It is not a passive experience. It requires active engagement with the Holy Spirit. And we have to ask ourselves this question. Are we truly...Are you making room for him? Because we're doing all of the things. All of the calendars are being checked off. The kids is doing this, that, and the third. The family's doing this, that. The money's doing this, that. The job's doing this, that. But are you making room for him? [01:16:07] (33 seconds)  #ChooseDemonstrationAndPower Download clip

When we align ourselves with the Holy Spirit, we will not only hear his voice, but we will witness the power of God working in us and through us. Can you imagine what would happen if we all say, you know what? We're choosing to operate in demonstration and power. We're choosing to not let the sin that so easily besets us hold us any longer. We're choosing to live our life in agreement and alignment with the Holy Spirit. [01:17:21] (38 seconds)  #ChurchAlignedChangesWorld Download clip

When we operate in alignment with him, he is free to move consistently in our lives and in this church. Do not let this be just a message that pass. Don't let this just be a regular thing. Take a decisive step. Lord, whatever it is, just say, God, whatever it is that's hindering me from being in alignment with you, reveal it to me and I'll let it go. Show it to me and I will let it go. [01:20:11] (37 seconds)  #SurrenderAllToGod Download clip

Just make a decision to do that. Make a decision to say, God, you know, I choose to give you everything, every part of me. Whatever area it is that you haven't had access to, I choose to let it go. I choose to give it to you. I choose to walk in forgiveness, even if they ain't apologize. I choose to walk in joy. I choose to have the fruits of the Spirit displayed in my life.
