Christmas Revelation: Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus' Identity and Mission

Christmas reminds us why we do the things that we do. Why do we witness? Why do we tell people about the love of God? Why do we invite people to come and join our church family? People of different colors and different backgrounds and different languages. Why do we lay hands on the sick and see them healed? Why do we preach the presence of the Holy Spirit? Why do we do the things that we do? Well, Christmas reminds us why we do. Because actually it's all about Jesus. [00:35:26] (37 seconds)  #ChristmasIsAboutJesus

Once a Christian, once a person gets really saved, once a person is really going to heaven, then the rest of their time on the earth is all about Jesus. It's all about witnessing for Jesus. It's all about how can we get as many of our friends and family members, how much of the world can we get saved before we go? How many people can we take with us? So that actually what we're doing, we're plundering hell to fill up heaven. Once a person gets saved, then that's their focus. That's their purpose. That's God's plan for their life, that they would be his ambassadors to the rest of the world. [00:36:02] (42 seconds)  #PlunderingHellFillingHeaven

As Christians today, you and I, we have the Holy Ghost, that same Holy Spirit. And he is in us to lead us so that we're always in the right place at the right time, doing the right things with the right folks for the right reasons, so that we can be that light to the world. Just like Simeon, he led Simeon into the temple. God wants to lead us every day. It's a matter of learning. Every Christian can learn to hear the voice of the Lord. Every Christian can learn to be led by the Holy Ghost, just like Simeon. [00:40:50] (43 seconds)  #LedByTheHolyGhost

I just keep falling in love with him. Every time I see something more about how much he loves me, I fall in love with him again. So, the Holy Ghost is with us to not only lead us, but to reveal more of Jesus to us. And remember we said Christmas is all about, it's all about Jesus. So, as we get more of the revelation of who he is, the more purpose we have in our lives. [00:42:05] (30 seconds)  #RevelationLeadsToPurpose

``Unrighteousness is feeling unworthy, feeling guilty, feeling condemned, feeling like God wouldn't do it. He'll do it for everybody else, but he wouldn't bless you. He wouldn't heal you. He wouldn't deliver you. He wouldn't answer your prayers. He'll answer everybody else, but he won't answer you. Why? Because there's something wrong with you. Unrighteousness is feeling that there's something wrong with me. But when the Bible says he cleanses us, he cleanses us from all of those feelings because he shed his blood to give you, what Pastor Jenny was talking about earlier, the gift of righteousness.

See, you need power because you've got an enemy in the earth. He's breaking down, breaking up, tearing apart families. He's breaking down, tearing apart nations. He's tearing races apart. He's tearing the men and women from each other. You need power to overcome that. So Jesus, he's cleansing us. He's empowering us. And then thirdly, he's sending us. He's cleansing. He's empowering. He's sending. [00:49:31] (35 seconds)  #CleansedEmpoweredSent

Jesus was walking, you know, again with his disciples. And he looks out and he sees the crowd. And he has, the Bible says he has compassion on them. Because they're like sheep with no shepherd. And that's the way people are today. People are like sheep. You know, whatever comes up on YouTube, whatever comes up on Facebook, whatever comes up on TikTok, whatever comes up is going to lead people one way or the other because people are just sheep. He saw the mass of humanity, that people are like sheep and they're led by any voice. [00:50:05] (40 seconds)  #SheepWithoutAShepherd
