Second Corinthians chapter three verse 18 says that we behold in the mirror the word of God. We behold in the mirror and we look in the mirror and we look in the mirror. It's that ongoing activity and as you're looking in the mirror you can see that's not right with my life, But the Holy Spirit doesn't leave us there. He says, yeah, this is what's not right, but I'm going to give you the grace to change. Come on, I can't do that for my wife, I can't do that for my kids. If I just point all the faults out, I can't help anybody change. The Holy Spirit shows you what's wrong as you're looking in the Word and He gives you the power to change. Man, that's good right there, man. Wow. [00:39:25] (38 seconds)  #MirrorTransformation Download clip

you get saved, the Holy Spirit comes and makes his abode in you. Galatians four:six says that we have been given the spirit of the son. And so we have the spirit within us, he is our teacher. I liken the word of God also, I love this, it's fuel for the fire. If the Holy Spirit is the fire, the word is the wood. Are you putting wood on the fire? Come on, we got any fire enthusiasts out here? Campers, what happens when you run out of wood to the fire? Begins to go out. But if you keep the fuel, if you keep the fuel, the wood of the word, you've got something to put in the Holy Spirit's hands to light the way and warm your heart and fill you with fire. I hope this is helping you. [00:34:05] (61 seconds)  #FeedTheFireOfSpirit Download clip

See, the word of God, I say, is like a sledgehammer. Come on. Is does anybody in here I'm just gonna pull it out. Does anybody in here have rocks in your life? Come on. The Bible says that the word of God is like a sledgehammer that breaks in pieces the stubborn rocks of resistance in our life. If you've got thinking that needs to be destroyed and broken up, you need the sledgehammer of God's Word. It's a sledgehammer. What do you mean Vincent? Well, me give you an application.

Invite the author of the word to teach you. Every time you sit down with a Bible and you open it up, I don't care if you've got two minutes, ten minutes or twenty minutes, every time you open the Word, invite the Holy Spirit. No prophecy originated with man. It is from the spirit so therefore the spirit understands it perfectly. Holy Spirit, I don't understand that. That doesn't make any sense at all. Sometimes in the moment he'll reveal it to you. Anybody? In the moment, he'll reveal it to you. Sometimes two weeks later when you're mowing the grass. Three months later when you walk into the refrigerator. Come on. All of a sudden, boom, light bulb goes off. Am I right? Let the Holy Spirit be the Holy Spirit. Let him teach you how and when he wants to teach you. [00:32:50] (56 seconds)  #LetTheHolySpiritTeach Download clip

The word of God, when you take the word in, oh, thank you holy spirit, the word doesn't evaporate. There's no expiration date on the word and there's no evaporation of the word. What you take in will not return void. It will accomplish what God wants it to accomplish in your life. When you take the word of God in, it goes down inside of you. No. I can't show you your soul, but you have one. I can't show you your spirit, but you have one. [00:17:17] (31 seconds)  #WordNeverExpires Download clip

Let me read this verse to you. This is Hebrews four twelve out of the amplified bible. It says this, for the word that God speaks is alive. Aren't you glad it's not dead? The word that God speaks is alive, full of power. Stop for a minute. Do you believe it? This is so good. If you believe that there's power in the word, it will motivate you to get in the Word. If you believe that all the confusion in the world and the craziness of the world, when you see it, instead of getting bent over in fear and anxious and worried and come on, I've flesh, I see all the stuff going on too.

So I have to remind myself of who I am in Jesus. Come on. And if I've hidden the word in my heart, the the Holy Spirit has something to pull out of me to stand against the enemy. Is this helping you this morning? Amen. It's also a fire but I didn't want to burn down the house so I didn't bring a fire. Amen. Give me those glasses. I hope this is helping you. Where are we at on time? Okay. Here we go. Sledgehammer. Flamethrower. That's what I say. The word of God is a flamethrower. [00:24:03] (31 seconds)  #IdentityInChrist Download clip

A hammer. Let's see if I can illustrate this. Y'all still with me. Right? Alright. Got quiet in here. oh, I got so much stuff down here. Gotta move stuff around and get to what I want. Now when I when I talk about a hammer, I'm not talking about this. You know, some of us visualize this as a hammer. When when I talk about a hammer, this is good and it's good for some things, but what we need come on. Somebody help me. What we need is one of these guys.
