0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. When the believers gather together, they with one accord. They wait united. They received the feeling of the Holy Spirit. This is something that happened way back, you know, two thousand years ago, but today, as believers, you and I need not wait for a specific men to coast day to receive the feeling of the Holy Spirit right at any given point of time, when you know you are getting to that place where you saying, Lord, fill me Holy Spirit. I want to get to know you, Holy Spirit.

1:29 I want to have a fellowship with you. I want to start afresh in walking in the Spirit start afresh being led by the Holy Spirit. I want to tell you something, your new beginning would begin because the Holy Spirit is not going to force himself into your life. He's going to come when you are there saying you know what. I'm thirsty for the Holy Spirit. I want the Holy Spirit's guidance upon my life. I want the power of the Holy Spirit to make way through my life, to lead me, to remind me, to come ferred me, to strengthen me, to encourage me.

2:02 I need the Holy Spirit. And I'm telling you when you have that desire, He's not going to just withhold himself from you. He's going to fill you, fill you, fill you, fill you. And today I want to tell you guys, today this Men Coast Sunday, I want to remind every single one of you get to the place where you are saying, Holy Spirit. I want you, Holy Spirit. I want to direct my steps. I want you to film me. You know. I want to start off 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, they were all together in one place. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that every single person who's listening. You may be in different places physically, but I pray that we'll all get together in one accord or one place spiritually, will be united in one place spiritually where we say we want the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We want to, you know, be a channel of God's vessel for the glory of God. So when you say that, you know you have an advantage.

3:04 You have a benefit that you know normal people don't have. That is the very presence of God, the Holy Spirit of God, the third person of the Triune in a God is in you, and he wants to fill you, and he wants to, you know, lead you from that place where you are saturated and filled with the Holy Spirit. You know, this is what it says. Suddenly, a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole place where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be like tongues of fire separated and came to rest on each of them, and verse four, all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues as the spirit enable them.

3:52 Doesn't says, some of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and some of them spoke in tongues. No, it says all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in tongues. I don't know who needs to hear this word, guys. You might have heard a lot of people have these questions, especially from traditional churches, where they say, you know, maybe tongues is only for those in the Bible times, tongues is only for those who are from a Pentecostal or a Chrismatic background. But I'm here to tell you the Bible does not say that tongues is only for some people.

4:19 That all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and all of them received this enabling of the Holy Spirit to speak in tongues. Now, there are other studies about tongues. Maybe I'll do that in a different segment, but today I want to think encourage each one of you that you know, if you had that thought of in your mind, where you have the school of thought that you know, maybe I don't think you know I will be able to speak in tongues, or I don't need the Holy Spirit, I don't need no Listen, He is available to make things better for you because you and I are called not to live a mediocre Christian life just to say, you know what, I go to church and compare live a nominal life, or just to say 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 and have that head knowledge and I can live my life. I'm telling you you can't do that. You need the Holy Spirit to really break battress. You need the Holy Spirit to really fulfill your purpose. You need the Holy Spirit to make an impact in and through this world, through your life for the glory of God. So they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And another scripture I want to share and I want to remind you, and I want to pray for you, that is Efficients five vers.

5:30 Eighteen, which urges us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It's not a choice, it's not an option. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Bible says love your neighbor, love God, or you know, do not steal. You know, we look at all of these and say, you know what, these are commands you know you have. There's no other choice, There's no other way of looking at it. You have to accept the fact. Okay, I should not steal, I should not lie. So 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 the name of Jesus Christ, that every single person listening will come to that place where they understand the need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. God, I pray that you will filled each and every single person wherever they're watching, the whereever they're listening, I pray that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. That they will have an encounter with the Holy Spirit 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 every single person in this you know, whoever is listening right now, let them be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. That their life will start a fresher It doesn't matter what they've been thought so long, it doesn't whatever from which background they come from. Let them have a fresh new toucher, fresh new hunger. Fair. The Holy Spirit of God fills them, fills them, fills them, empowers them, and strengthens them.

6:56 And you know, leads them through a new pathway through life. I give you glory, Lord, I give you the honor, and I give you the praise in Jesus name. I pray Amen, God bless you.
