1. "Because God will not give us something that will destroy us. Scripture says that every good and perfect gate comes from above. Every good and perfect gate comes from above. So Jesus promised, that, you know, the question that you are asking me, what was their question? When they had come together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? Because, you know, in their mind, Jesus was going to, you know, be an earthly king to rule over them in Israel. And so He was asking, when is this going to happen? They were asking, when is this going to happen? And Jesus said to them, it is not for you to know times, or seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority. It's not everything God will reveal to you. It's not every answer that you will have, based on the question you have in your mind." [32:27]
2. "So when the Holy Spirit comes, He comes to enable you to do things that you couldn't do before. So He comes with an empowerment to be able to do some things. That you were powerless to do before. That's what the Holy Spirit does. So the Holy Spirit in me is to empower me to be able to do things I couldn't do without Him. So you will receive power to become my witnesses from Jerusalem. So every believer with the Holy Spirit in them is also minded about sharing Christ." [34:26]
3. "Don't live your Christian life based on your own strength alone. You will crash. Praise the Lord. I say what? You will crash when that happens. And like I said already, the Holy Spirit is not for just some nationalities. Not for just some cultures. Not for just some skin colors. But it is for everybody. Everybody who accepts Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. And receives the Holy Spirit. When He comes into their heart. When He comes into their life." [36:08]
4. "So the Holy Spirit has come as a gift to us. We don't have to pay money for it. Don't let anybody to deceive you that you need to pay something. Before they can pray for you to receive the Holy Spirit. There is no money to be paid. Jesus paid the price. Jesus has paid it all. Hallelujah. Yours is to open up your heart and say, you know, I am wicked. I've done wicked things. I am a sinner. Forgive me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I'm ready to change the direction of my life." [39:56]
5. "So the Holy Spirit is going to come. And He's going to come upon you. Praise the Lord. And so when we read Acts chapter 2 from verse 1 coming, you know, there was a dramatic experience of the Holy Spirit. I'm not going to go too much into that, because we are familiar with it. But let me read Acts chapter 2, verse 6 to 9. Acts chapter 2, verse 6 to 9. It said, Therefore, when they had come together, they asked, asked Him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? This was the disciples talking to Him. That was before He ascended. And He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power." [31:26]

1. "So the Holy Spirit in me is to empower me to be able to do things I couldn't do without Him. So you will receive power to become my witnesses from Jerusalem. So every believer with the Holy Spirit in them is also minded about sharing Christ. He says, now when He has spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken out. And a cloud received Him out of their sight. So this happens to be the last statement Jesus made to them before He was taken out. You know, anyone's last statement before they depart or before they die is very important." [34:26]
2. "Because if you are not a believer it means you are walking in disobedience. So you will not be in the position to receive him. Because it is neither sees him nor knows him.

You must know the Holy Spirit. Then what kind of believer are you? For lack of knowledge my people perish. Hallelujah. So as a believer it is your responsibility to know the Holy Spirit.

And so that's why we need him." [57:29]
6. "So the Holy Spirit comes an anointing. That breaks yokes. That lifts burdens. That brings deliverance. That brings freedom. From any kind of oppression and suppression. In the name of Jesus. So he liberates us. From the power of sin and death. And from other things." [01:00:55]

But have you received Him? In other words. Have you welcomed Him? Have you allowed Him to be who He is? And who He is to be?" [01:05:17]
