 If we look in the Old Testament, we will see that every great man of God, every prophet that God used, if we look at Enoch, it says about him, before he died, God gave a testimony that he pleased God. Boom, God took him. We see Joseph, a pagan pharaoh, looked at Joseph and said, the spirit of God is in you. Who can we find just like you? But we see Joseph living his life when the temptation came in. Joseph, nobody was there to watch him. He could have easily slipped and simple say, it's a man's need to sleep with a woman. And Joseph says, no, no, no, no, no. If I am to protect the Holy Spirit who gives me supernatural things, I'm going to have to turn my back toward you wife of Porifar. And I'm going to face the Holy Spirit. I'm going to honor the Holy Spirit and God honor them. People like Isaiah, people like Jeremiah, people like Daniel, people like the Daniel's friends, people like David, they all had one thing in common. Not all of these people were educated, not all of these people were rich, not all of these people were famous, not all of these people had one thing in their life that they had in common. They were not for sale. They were sold out. When the world knocked and the world says, can you give me a little bit of you? They said too late. I already gave it to God. That's why God used them. The Bible says that's why God wasn't ashamed of them and the Bible says the world wasn't worthy of them. And that's why God's spirit moved upon them because God's spirit could easily brag about them because these are my men and I own them. Let's be those people today. To activate the Holy Spirit, we have to choose to do the first thing. Live for the applause of one. Can somebody say amen? Are you going to live for the applause of God? Are you going to live to please God? If yes, say yes with me. We're going to live for God's cause and we're going to live for God's purpose. But the second thing that I want us to point out today how to activate God's presence in our lives is do good to change the bad you see. The Bible says in Acts 10 that Jesus, anointed by the Holy Spirit, went around doing good. Went around doing good. The Holy Spirit lays dormant in our lives. If after committing our life to God, first of all, realistically speaking, it is impossible to commit your life to God. And I mean truly without after that helping other people. It is impossible. When I meet people and they say that I committed my life to God, you may come to church. That is one thing. But when you truly commit your life to God, the one thing that you want to do is you're going to start helping other people. You're going to want to be a home group leader, not because home group leader is cool in a good news church, but because home group leader is the way you accomplish your purpose of helping other people to become disciples by Jesus Christ. You will automatically do that. But if you don't automatically click in, I'm going to remind you of the scripture. When Jesus was anointed, why was he anointed? Because his life was pleasing to God. And not only in the beginning of his life, but even in the middle of his life when he was famous and when he already was known and thousands of people flocked to his meetings and people stood up, there was reputation going on and Jesus goes on a mountain of transfiguration and the Father says, Jesus is still pleasing to me. He didn't get his eyes off of me to success and the ministry, he still has his eyes on me. That's why Jesus was anointed. He pleased his dad. He pleased God. If we choose to please God even when things get good or hard and we stick through it, God's anointing will rest upon our church. When right now we have more people coming, more leaders rising up, if we keep it in front of our face, the main thing, the main thing, which is the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit, God's vindication will rest upon our life and God's anointing will not lift from our life.
