0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. When the

0:53 believers gather together, they with one accord. They wait united. They received

1:00 the feeling of the Holy Spirit. This is something that happened way back,

1:07 you know, two thousand years ago, but today, as believers, you

1:11 and I need not wait for a specific men to coast day to receive the

1:18 feeling of the Holy Spirit right at any given point of time, when you

1:22 know you are getting to that place where you saying, Lord, fill me

1:26 Holy Spirit. I want to get to know you, Holy Spirit. I

1:29 want to have a fellowship with you. I want to start afresh in walking

1:32 in the Spirit start afresh being led by the Holy Spirit. I want to

1:37 tell you something, your new beginning would begin because the Holy Spirit is not

1:42 going to force himself into your life. He's going to come when you are

1:47 there saying you know what. I'm thirsty for the Holy Spirit. I want

1:49 the Holy Spirit's guidance upon my life. I want the power of the Holy

1:53 Spirit to make way through my life, to lead me, to remind me,

1:59 to come ferred me, to strengthen me, to encourage me. I

2:02 need the Holy Spirit. And I'm telling you when you have that desire,

2:07 He's not going to just withhold himself from you. He's going to fill you,

2:10 fill you, fill you, fill you. And today I want to

2:13 tell you guys, today this Men Coast Sunday, I want to remind every

2:15 single one of you get to the place where you are saying, Holy Spirit.

2:20 I want you, Holy Spirit. I want to direct my steps.

2:23 I want you to film me. You know. I want to start off

2:27 by sharing two scriptures, and I want to take this forward extrapt to two.

2:30 When I'm reading from the nib version. When the day of Pentecost came,

2:35 they were all together in one place. I pray in the name of

2:38 Jesus Christ, that every single person who's listening. You may be in different

2:43 places physically, but I pray that we'll all get together in one accord or

2:47 one place spiritually, will be united in one place spiritually where we say we

2:53 want the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We want to, you know,

2:58 be a channel of God's vessel for the glory of God. So when you

3:01 say that, you know you have an advantage. You have a benefit that

3:06 you know normal people don't have. That is the very presence of God,

3:08 the Holy Spirit of God, the third person of the Triune in a God

3:15 is in you, and he wants to fill you, and he wants to,

3:22 you know, lead you from that place where you are saturated and filled

3:25 with the Holy Spirit. You know, this is what it says. Suddenly,

3:30 a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled

3:36 the whole place where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be like

3:39 tongues of fire separated and came to rest on each of them, and verse

3:46 four, all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak

3:50 in tongues as the spirit enable them. Doesn't says, some of them were

3:53 filled with the Holy Spirit and some of them spoke in tongues. No,

3:57 it says all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to

4:00 speak in tongues. I don't know who needs to hear this word, guys.

4:03 You might have heard a lot of people have these questions, especially from

4:06 traditional churches, where they say, you know, maybe tongues is only for

4:11 those in the Bible times, tongues is only for those who are from a

4:14 Pentecostal or a Chrismatic background. But I'm here to tell you the Bible does

4:17 not say that tongues is only for some people. That all of them were

4:21 filled with the Holy Spirit, and all of them received this enabling of the

4:27 Holy Spirit to speak in tongues. Now, there are other studies about tongues.

4:31 Maybe I'll do that in a different segment, but today I want to

4:33 think encourage each one of you that you know, if you had that thought

4:38 of in your mind, where you have the school of thought that you know,

4:41 maybe I don't think you know I will be able to speak in tongues,

4:45 or I don't need the Holy Spirit, I don't need no Listen,

4:47 He is available to make things better for you because you and I are called

4:53 not to live a mediocre Christian life just to say, you know what,

4:56 I go to church and compare live a nominal life, or just to say

4:59 that, you know what, I can just handle life on my own.

5:01 I can just you know, read the scripture and be you all this scholar

5:05 and have that head knowledge and I can live my life. I'm telling you

5:09 you can't do that. You need the Holy Spirit to really break battress.

5:14 You need the Holy Spirit to really fulfill your purpose. You need the Holy

5:17 Spirit to make an impact in and through this world, through your life for

5:21 the glory of God. So they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

5:25 And another scripture I want to share and I want to remind you, and

5:28 I want to pray for you, that is Efficients five vers. Eighteen,

5:30 which urges us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It's not a choice,

5:34 it's not an option. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. When the

5:39 Bible says love your neighbor, love God, or you know, do not

5:45 steal. You know, we look at all of these and say, you

5:47 know what, these are commands you know you have. There's no other choice,

5:50 There's no other way of looking at it. You have to accept the

5:54 fact. Okay, I should not steal, I should not lie. So

5:57 likewise, you have to understand there's no other way of looking at it.

6:00 You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. And today I pray in

6:03 the name of Jesus Christ, that every single person listening will come to that

6:08 place where they understand the need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. God,

6:12 I pray that you will filled each and every single person wherever they're watching,

6:15 the whereever they're listening, I pray that they will be filled with the

6:18 Holy Spirit of God. That they will have an encounter with the Holy Spirit

6:23 like never before, that they will experience the power of the Holy Spirit.

6:27 I experience such a mighty and owning your and are released that are owning over

6:30 every single person in this you know, whoever is listening right now, let

6:36 them be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. That their life will start

6:41 a fresher It doesn't matter what they've been thought so long, it doesn't whatever

6:45 from which background they come from. Let them have a fresh new toucher,

6:48 fresh new hunger. Fair. The Holy Spirit of God fills them, fills

6:53 them, fills them, empowers them, and strengthens them. And you know,

6:57 leads them through a new pathway through life. I give you glory,

7:00 Lord, I give you the honor, and I give you the praise in

7:04 Jesus name. I pray Amen, God bless you. You've been listening to
