 My dear viewer, welcome again to our series of 40 Days of Prayer. It's day 29 and we are glad that we are in the season of the Holy Spirit. I'm praying that this Holy Spirit may be moving in your life to lead you and guide you into issues of faith. Today, as we join the rest of the world church in this moment of prayer, I want to invite you to think about how the Holy Spirit becomes a saving connection in your life as a Christian. So this moment we are talking about a saving connection. Before we get to the text, let's seek the Lord in prayer. Our gracious for the heaven, we thank you for the privilege of this moment of prayer. We invite you Lord as we start that you can be with us and guide our thoughts as I speak. And be with us and meet us all at our very point of needs. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. My dear viewer, let's go to the text of John chapter 16 and verse number 8. Yesterday we paid attention to verse number 7. Of course you mentioned verse number 8, but we are going not to discuss more on verse number 8. And we are also going to consider down up to verse number 11. And allow me to read from my Bible here, the King James Version. And when he has come, he will reprove the word of sin and of righteousness and judgment. Verse number 9 of sin because they believe not on me of righteousness because I go to my father and you see me no more in verse 11 of judgment because the prince of this world is judged. The role of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to lead people to discover the evil of sin, the role of the Holy Spirit. The reason why it was important for him to come after crisis at the pattern is because this one was to lead us, convince us, convict us of the issues righteousness. You see this text is very very important that when he comes he will convict or reprove in the time of King James Version. Convict the word concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment. These three are very important in matters salvation that we are all sinners. Paul argues and says in Romans that we have all sinned and foreshadowed the glory of God. None of us is righteous and the plan of redemption considers that it is important that you as a sinner be ministered by the Holy Spirit. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is not complete without the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In fact, yesterday we read a quote from Ellen G. Wade where she said that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross avails nothing without the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We appreciate that he has come to convict you, to convict me, to convict the world in the issues of sin. You see it is the Holy Spirit that speaks to us when we are indulging in sin and make that act of sin undesirable. You become uneasy in sin. Let me tell you here, if you have been committing certain kind of sins and feeling very uncomfortable in those particular kind of sins, but by and by gradually you are becoming comfortable and comfortable with those kind of acts, then one thing could be happening here. You have been pushing away the Holy Spirit from your life. So now you don't have anyone who convinces you and convict you of those kind of acts as of wickedness. So you are becoming comfortable and comfortable. But whenever you commit sin and you are feeling guilty of your acts, you are feeling bad about what you have done. In fact, it is the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit that guides you and convict you of those kind of things that you are doing. So it is important that we appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit. It is him who shows us how the righteousness of Christ looks like and he sent us, he takes us to the very heart of Jesus that we may admire his character, we may admire his being, that we may admire being like him, and so we embrace the issues of righteousness. We took a whole week in the season of 10 days of prayer discussing about the righteousness, the wickedness that has ended. And we are looking at the power and the influence of the ministry of the Holy Spirit that is the one who convict us of righteousness of Jesus. We do not know how to be righteous. We can't have our own righteousness and then we think we can attain salvation. The righteousness that we have is imputed is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We are clothed with the garment of righteousness of Jesus but then who enables us to be there in that garment, it is the Holy Spirit. He convict us of righteousness of Jesus and that we may be conscious then of the judgments of God. You see this free, are working together. You know when he convict us of our sin, then we turn away from our sin and we embrace righteousness. When we embrace righteousness of Jesus, this righteousness of Jesus qualifies us to sit before the judgment of God without any fear. It is the power of the Holy Spirit in us that gives us confidence to face judgment of God without the righteousness of Jesus we can understand before Jesus, before God for judgment. But when he, the power of the Holy Spirit, when he the Holy Spirit is in us, he convict us of our sin so that he guides us to turn away from our weekend ways and embrace the righteousness of Jesus and that righteousness of Jesus gives us confidence to wait upon the judgment of God, to face the judgment of God. Then it means we have nothing to fear even for the judgment if we shall allow the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. People fear judgment of God. People fear the second coming of Jesus because they are not prepared and you cannot be prepared without the presence of the Holy Spirit. We are emphasizing that just allow the Holy Spirit to work in you. We are praying for the outpoting of the Holy Spirit because he will give us confidence to face judgment. Allow me to end by reading a quote from the best author one more time, Ellen G. White. The book is Act of Apostles page 49 and I'll read in your hearing. She says this the promise of the Holy Spirit is not limited to any age or to any race. Very important. Christ declared that the divine influence of His Spirit was to be with His followers and to the end. From the day of Pentecostal to the present day time the comforter has been sent to all who have yielded themselves fully to the Lord and to His service. To all who have accepted Christ as a personal saviour the Holy Spirit has come as a counselor, sanctifier, guide and witness. Very, very important that we have such a privilege to be ministered to by the one who has come from above. The one who has come from the Father. The gift of the Father. Ki who leads us to see our sinful ways and turn away from them to embrace the righteousness of Jesus that we may have confidence facing the judgment of God. He is our counselor. He is our sanctifier. He is our guide and He is our witness. Wont you embrace Him? Wont you laugh Him? Wont you surrender your life to Him? Wont you wear upon Him? Wont you say God? I allow you to fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit that I may live a sanctified life is my prayer. I pray that it may be your prayer for the seven people you are praying for also may commit them and pray that God may move them through the power of the Holy Spirit. You see, I want you to join me as I join the Wont Church this morning this afternoon, this evening, wherever you are want to pray for the Holy Spirit to walk in the lives of the seven people that you are praying for. Number two, to pray for the Holy Spirit to walk in any area in your own life any area that you feel you are still struggling just allow Him to work in and work in those areas that needs spiritual healing that you may be healed. Pray that the Holy Spirit would help you love and obey God and His Word. We are struggling to appreciate God in our lives and His Word. Just allow the power that God has given us the Holy Spirit to work in us and in you. Pray that in our eagerness to find creative ways to witness to God and to others. We won't lose our dependence on Christ His Word and His virtuousness His sanctuary service and His saving power in the great controversy. And lastly, pray for the weak and vulnerable around you especially for orphans and widows and those enslaved. This is that special moment when you pour your heart to the Lord. The best how you know just this moment. Just be before the Lord. I am standing here. I shall commit all these concerns before the Lord together with you, media fewer as you join me in this for the days of prayer. Let's pray together in faith. Gratias for the heaven we thank you for this precious privilege moment that we have. One more time to share and to seek for a saving connection through the power of the Holy Spirit. That none of us as many as we have come to you left out in this issue of salvation but we shall all be prepared for the soon coming that we shall be assured into our kingdom. Lord this moment we want intentionally to appreciate to acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives to pray that He may take charge of our lives to have His way in our lives that Lord He shall lead us because He is our counselor He is our sanctifier He is our purifier He is our witness the Lord He shall work His way in us that we shall be purified and qualified men and women in this age that will be examples of what the sacrifice of Christ can avail in this life. Lord with all what we have mentioned before you as prayer concerns that have been lifted by the world church we join them Lord and we join the church individually to appeal for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to appeal for a committed renewed interest in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to appeal for a committed renewed interest in the world that as your people Lord in this age we shall be men and women who are guided by the world and we shall say by the word and the scripture alone that Lord in this age we shall be found by people standing for truth. We want to commit Lord the general conversation one more time before you.
