 We'll get started, right? Let's pray. Father, we thank you for this day. We thank you for this together. Lord, we commit these two sessions into your mighty hands. Lord, we pray that you would come, that you would teach us. And yes, Lord, we want to pray this. We just want to invite you and say, come Holy Spirit. Yeah, so why don't you just go ahead? You know, no matter what you're facing, what questions you might be having about life and no matter what challenge, challenges you might be facing, difficulties, or maybe, you know, you're fine, absolutely fine. So why don't you just go ahead and invite God and say, come Holy Spirit. You know, just pray that simple prayer and say, come Holy Spirit. And we've been studying, we've been learning about all that God the Holy Spirit does and can do in people's lives, right? So why don't we just invite him? He knows our needs. He knows our deepest needs, right? We know only, sometimes we may not even know our needs and we think, you know, this is the need, but then God knows what is really behind that, beyond that, and he knows our deepest needs. So just go ahead and pray that simple prayer saying, come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit and have your way in me. Come Lord and say, Lord, I submit, I yield, I surrender. Just want you to have your way. I believe that for some of us, God is going to give a revelation of the authority that you carry. You know, too long, you've been, as believers, you've been letting yourself to be intimidated by the enemy, right? The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The Lord has come to give life and life in its fullness and he's given us authority, authority to trample over serpents and scorpions and overall the power of the enemy, like we read in Luke 10, 19, and the Lord Jesus has given us His children and we are seated with Him in the heavenly places. So, and too long, we have let the enemy intimidate us, terrorize us, and keep us in that place of fear and paralyze us. But then I believe that the Lord is restoring a revelation of authority, the knowledge of authority, the knowledge of the rights and privileges that you and I have as believers. Thank you Lord. Let's continue to say, be in that place of yieldedness and say, come Holy Spirit, have your way in us Lord. We thank you. Continue to work in our lives Lord. We just submit ourselves Lord to your Lordship, to your leading. We thank you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, so yeah, so we've been learning, been journeying about who are notes and our study about the Holy Spirit and we looked at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus and we looked at some very important aspect of the life of Jesus and how He laid aside His glory and He walked on the earth as man. He ministered as man who was empowered and filled by the Holy Spirit and He went about doing good, right? And so He's turning around and pointing to us as His disciples, as His followers and He's saying, you know, those who believe in me, the works that I do, they will do also because I go to my Father, right? And when He goes to, when He went to the Father, He sent the Holy Spirit and we read that and, you know, we've been reading what happened after that in the Book of Acts. The Holy Spirit empowered the believers. They had, it was a supernatural encounter and we also, you know, last session we looked at the fact that, you know, there were supernatural things that were happening. They prayed in other tongues. There were tongues of fire that came and rested upon each of them and we see lives dramatically changed in the sense Peter, you know, he's standing up and he's giving a sermon and then people are, you know, repenting and coming to the saving knowledge of Christ. We also see that, you know, that despite persecution, you know, the church is praying that they would preach the gospel and then the God would testify to witness to it and, you know, with accompanying signs and wonders and miracles and we read last time that, you know, the place that they prayed was shaken. You know, that's where we left, I think, Acts after four and verse 31, the place that they assembled together were shaken and they were all filled with the Spirit and they spoke the Word of God with boldness and so this is what the Spirit of God accomplished through these people who are ordinary people and we also see that, you know, one thing that we learn is that many times they were filled, like Acts after four talks about how Peter and John and Peter, you know, filled with the Holy Spirit, Acts after four and verse eight, he addresses the people, the rulers, the scribes and he addresses them and he's filled with the Holy Spirit. Again, you know, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit so we see that multiple times people are being filled with the Holy Spirit and then we see the exhortation, you know, in the instruction in Colossians three or to be filled, sorry, Ephesians five says, do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. So it's an ongoing thing, you know, keep on being filled with the Spirit. So how does one do that? One asks and receives. Okay, so we're going to look at that, you know, two chapters from now, two or three chapters from now. Okay, so let's continue with you know, journey through Book of Acts and you look at work of the Holy Spirit or works of the Holy Spirit. So let's look at Acts chapter five. Okay, let's go to Acts chapter five and okay, any questions or doubts based on what we have seen so far, what we have studied so far, it could have been in previous chapters, any doubts, any questions. Okay, you can make a note of that and you can put it in the, you know, the link again that we have, right, and you know, and all these, you know, all these things would be answered, all these questions, like will actually some will be answered even as we go through the, you know, go through the material, go through the regular classes and some of these questions which are still hanging there, you know, we will, we will talk about it. Okay, we will address it. So just want you to go ahead and put it there and I'm sure let me just put the link again. So it's the link for the questions. It's there in the classwork stream as well. Okay, so you can go there, type in your questions and these will get answered. Okay, so Louie Collins, when are we supposed to submit the first assignment? Okay, it's Saturday before midnight, India time. So, but I would suggest that you do it earlier, right? Yeah, so that there's no confusion. Okay. Okay, so let's, let's go to acts five and let's look at, you know, versus one to nine, a very sobering story, incident, which takes place there. And we learn quite a few things from this. Okay, let's quickly read through. Okay, but a certain man named Ananias with Safaira, his wife, sold the possession, and he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it and brought a certain part and laid it at Apostle's feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? Why have you, sorry, you have not lied to men, but to God, then Ananias hearing these words fell down and breathe his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things and the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out and buried him. Now it was about three hours later, when his wife came in not knowing what happened and Peter answered her, tell me, whether you sold the land for so much. She said, yes, for so much. Then Peter said to her, how is it that you have agreed together to test the spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door and they will carry you out. Then immediately, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in, found her dead, and carried her out, buried her by her husband. So great fear came upon all the church and upon all those who heard these things. So in these passages, you see great fear and great wonder, great wonders, all these mentioned there. There's a great outpouring of the spirit of God. So from this, we learn a few things here. Now, who made this information known to Peter? Well, it was God. It was the Holy Spirit who conveyed this information to Peter, because Peter obviously in the natural, he did not know. So this information, we see that it was revealed to Peter. It was revealed to Peter by God, by the Holy Spirit. So here Peter also says that you lied to the Holy Spirit, and he also makes it known that you did not lie to man, but you lied to God. So we see the deity of the Holy Spirit mentioned here. In which that is mentioned is verse 4. So if anyone has a doubt, is the Holy Spirit God? Well, here is one of the references which talks about that. It says, Peter saying, you know, you don't like the man, but you like the God. And earlier, he refers to Ananias and Sapphira, Ananias lying to the Holy Spirit. Okay, so that is something that we see here. And we see that in verse 9 is talking about, you know, you're testing the Spirit of God, really, when you know in your heart, what you're doing is wrong. And there's nothing that we understand from here. There's nothing that can be hidden from God, hidden from the Holy Spirit. There's nothing that is hidden, even the motivations of our heart. Not just the actions, but also our thoughts and the motivations of our hearts, everything, or maybe even our attitude towards something. Nothing can be hidden from God. Now, it depends on how you look at it. It can be very liberating, or at the same time, it can be very daunting. In the sense, it can be very liberating because there's nothing that you need to hide from Him. There's nothing that we need to hide. We don't need to put on an act before God. We don't need to put on an act. Sometimes we put on a performance, right? In the sense, let's say guests come, and everybody's in their best behavior. Guests come home, right? You want to make sure that the home is nice and tidy, and, you know, make sure that till then, or till that very minute, till there was a knock on the door, everything could have been, you know, all messed up. But then you want to put on an appearance, or maybe there was a fight in the house, you know. Everyone was quarreling, and then the guests come in, and then you want to put on a phase that is, you know, everything is fine. Everything is tough and fine. Everything is, you know, everything is peaceful. The fact is that with God, we cannot play such games, right? He knows the motives of our hearts. He knows our thoughts, and it is liberating. So we don't have to hide anything from Him, and we can just go to Him, and we can be ourselves. Be ourselves. We don't there's no formality, right? We don't have to put on a phase before God. We can be ourselves. So it is liberating in the sense that, you know, there is freedom. He accepts us as we are, and but He doesn't leave us, you know, the state we are in. He wants to clean us up. He wants to strengthen us. He wants us to go from glory to glory, right? So all that. So that is very liberating, very encouraging. But if we want to continue to walk in rebellion and walk in sin, and then, you know, it can be very daunting, you know, in the sense fearful, because there's nothing that is hidden from Him. We might tell ourselves, or we might deceive ourselves saying that, you know, it is like this. You can justify it, but we cannot, before God, all our arguments, you know, it just comes down, right? So that's something that we see. Okay. Verse 32, chapter 5, and here, who's it who's sharing this message? Peter. And he's saying we are to obey God rather than men and so on. And then he says, verse 32, he says, and we are his witnesses to these things. And so also is the Holy Spirit whom God is given to those who obey Him. So the Holy Spirit given to everyone who obeys every believer. And so he's saying, you know, we were witnesses to these happenings that happened in the life of Jesus. And then he says, you know, so also is the Holy Spirit. And so that's something that we learned there. Okay, let's move on to Acts chapter 6, and verses 1 to 10. Okay, Acts chapter 6, verses 1 to 10. So here it talks about, again, who would be filled by the Spirit refers to people who are full of the Holy Spirit. And so it refers to certain young men who are selected to do some menial tasks, right? The task of food distribution. Okay, so this is what we see. Acts chapter 6, verses 1 to 10. Now in those days, when the number of disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. Then 12 summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, it is not desirable that we should leave the Word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. And the saying, please the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nikhina, Timon, Aminus, and Nicholas, Apostletra Manchuk. So it lists down all the people who had these qualities. Now whom they set before the apostles and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. Then the Word of God spread and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem. And the great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. Then there arose some from what is called the synagogue of the freedmen, Syrians, Alexandrians, and those from Silesia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit by which he spoke. So here we see several things. There was this challenge. There arose a complaint because certain people were neglected, certain widows were neglected in the food distribution. These were the Greek-speaking Jews, Hellenists. And the 12 summoned the disciples and they said, we want to prioritize certain things. We want to continue serving the Word or ministering the Word of God. So therefore, seek out seven men among you who are of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, and wisdom. So this was one of the qualifications that there be people who are full of the Holy Spirit. So we see that, well, to be full of the Holy Spirit, which means that it's a choice, it's not a choice that I make a choice to be filled with the Spirit and I make a choice to walk in and walk to be led by the Spirit. So these were people. So it says here about Stephen, Philip, and the rest who were full of the Holy Spirit and full of faith and so on. They had these qualities, they had good reputation, and they were assigned this task. So this was one of the qualifications that these were the people who be filled with the Spirit, who are full of the Spirit. And then we see in verse 10 that they were not able to, this is talking about Stephen, some people who disputed, but they could not refute the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. So the Spirit by which he spoke, meaning that he was speaking certain things, he was sharing, communicating certain things with them by the power of the Holy Spirit, or by the enabling of the Holy Spirit. So the Lord Jesus, when we read about it in the Gospel, he says, when you are delivered up to men, when you will be brought before people in synagogues and you will be persecuted, but you don't have to pre-meditate and plan what you're going to say, because the Holy Spirit, it will be given to you. It will be given to you the words that need to be spoken. It will be given to you by the Spirit. So here we see that in action. We see that people disputing, people coming up and challenging Stephen, and they could not refute the wisdom. And he spoke by the enablement or the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So we see here that we could refute the Spirit by which he spoke, by which he spoke to the people. So we see that in Acts chapter 6. Let's move to Acts chapter 7. Verse 51. It talks about resisting the Holy Spirit, and this is Stephen's message, Stephen's sermon. At the end of it, he has some very harsh words. He says, you stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit as your fathers did, so do you. So he's talking to his audience, talking to the very same people who were disputing and refuting. So the high priest is there and all the others are there, so the scribes are there. So he's brought before the council, he's arrested, brought before the council, and he goes on to share. So they have some accusations that he's blaspheming, and you're changing the customs that Moses gave us, and so on. So the high priest asks the question, are these things so? So Stephen goes on to explain in chapter 7, verse 1, and he goes on to explain, and then this is how in verse 51 he says, you are stiff-necked, you are uncircumcised in ears and heart, and you always resist the Holy Spirit as your ancestors did, as your fathers did, so you also do that. You resist the work of the Spirit. So some very harsh words, yes. But then he's talking about the fact that the Holy Spirit does something, and we can resist. He will not force his way in, but we can actually resist the work. To resist means to come against, to push against, so we can resist. So that's something that we learned. Verse 55 talks about Stephen being full of the Holy Spirit, and he gazed into heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. So we see, you know, let me study this right at the beginning, the first chapter, when we're talking about the clayu and God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and we see, we studied this, right? We refer to this verse, but here he says, you know, he being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up, and he had this vision, the heavens were open, and he saw the glory of God. He saw the Father, he saw the Son standing, right? And he mentions that. Okay. Okay, so far, right? So we're looking at, I know we're going through, you know, several verses, so it'll be good if you have your Bibles open and follow, follow through, you know, read about this. We are looking at all the references in the, about the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts, okay? And it's good for us to learn that. So we are learning, you know, different aspects, different works, more about the person of the Holy Spirit, okay? Okay, so let's go to Acts chapter 8 and verse 10. Acts chapter 8 and verse 10, okay, so this talks about what is happening in Samaria. Okay, just to give a quick background, now, you know, after Stephen is martyred, we read about that. He's actually stoned and he's killed. Now, after that, we read about Saul persecuting the church, like Saul going to different places, persecuting the church, dragging people who are following Jesus, who follows of the Lord, putting them in prison, and so on. Okay, so this is what he was doing. And the people who ran away from Jerusalem because of this persecution, went to different places. And one of the places being Samaria. And Philip goes to Samaria, preaches the gospel there, and people are saved, and they experience great deliverance. You know, the same Philip was, you know, maybe the teammate of Stephen, right? The seven who were selected. Stephen was one of them. Philip was one of them. And this Philip, because of persecution, he, you know, he goes to Samaria, he preaches the gospel, and many get saved. The church is planted there. And so in Samaria, we read about this particular instance where there was a sorcerer, a magician called Simon, and who used to practice sorcery in the city. And people were kind of in awe of him, because he used to do these, you know, black magic works. Now, they, so that is what we read about, right? Verse 10, to whom they all gave heed from the least of the greatest, that is, people who were Samaritans were there, saying this man is a great, sorry, yeah, power of God, talking about Simon. And they heeded him because he astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. But when they believed Philip, as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Then Simon himself also believed, and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done. Now, when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. So now the apostles got the information that, okay, people in Samaria have received, have become believers. So they sent Peter and John. Now Peter and John come there, and they do something. Okay, we are going to be studying this in detail, but this is what they do. Verse 15, who when they had come down, prayed for them that they may, they might receive the Spirit. Okay, so they prayed for the disciples who had begun following Jesus, right? Because they were actually, verse 12 talks about how men and women were baptized because they were born again, right? They believed and they were baptized is what we see here, right? They believed in the, when Philip preached concerning the kingdom of God, they believed and they were baptized, right? So here we see that Peter and John come and they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Okay, so verse 16 describes it, for as yet, he had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. And when Simon saw this, that through the laying on of the apostles hand, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money saying, give me this power also that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit. But Peter says, Peter said to him, your money perished with you because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money and so on. So we see something very interesting happening here. Okay, first of all, what we learn is that yes, these were believers, people who had already put their faith in Jesus, they were believers. Peter and John come and pray for them. Okay, and something supernatural happens that the Holy Spirit fills them. It says it came upon the believers. And it was something tangible. Sorry, it was something tangible. Tangible in the sense it was something visible. So Simon saw this and he says it was, you know, Simon saw this, he was very impressed by all that was happening. And he tells the apostles, you know, I'm going to, you know, please take this money. Okay, I'm offering you some money. Give me this power. Okay, give me this power. So it means that his motive is, you know, it was not right. It says, give me this power so that I can go and lay hands and whomever I lay hands on will also receive the Holy Spirit. Okay, so something supernatural happened. We don't know what it is. When the people, when Peter and John laid hands and the people receive the Holy Spirit. Okay, so we see, so this is something that we understand that happened and the Holy Spirit moving in unusual ways. The Holy Spirit willing, coming upon people as the apostles laid hands and pray. Okay, just keep that in mind. We will come back and we're going to look at it in detail when we study about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Okay, so that was Acts chapter 8. Okay, same chapter. Let's go to 29. 29. 29, we see this man, Philip, who was in Samaria and God interacting with him and causing him to minister to the Ethiopian eunuch. Okay, so first of all, I'm sorry. First of all, the angel of the Lord speaks to Philip and it gives him instruction to go to this place, a deserted place, which is from Jerusalem to Gaza. Okay, it says this place is desert, need not necessarily be like a desert, but also a deserted place. The Greek rendition of that refers to that. So here in verse 29, we see then the Spirit said to Philip, go near and overtake this chariot. Okay, so referring to the Holy Spirit speaking. So the Holy Spirit is God. Holy Spirit can be resisted. Holy Spirit fills the people and something visible, something tangible happens when he does that. Here we see Holy Spirit speaking and giving instruction. Go and near and overtake this chariot. So, well, the Holy Spirit gives very clear instructions, go near, overtake the chariot, go get into that place, come out of that place. Very clear instruction. We can expect. Holy Spirit hasn't changed. These are the times that we live in. The New Testament times that we live in. The New Testament church that we are part of and we see the working of the Holy Spirit in these ways. So he goes and says, go overtake this chariot. Then we look at verse 39. And now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away so that the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his way to rejoicing. Okay, he came out of the water. So what happens is Philip shares the gospel starting from that scripture in Isaiah. And this man believes and they come to a place where there is water and he says, which means Philip had actually talked to him and instructed him about baptism. So this man says, hey, here is water. So what should stop me from being baptized? And Philip says, you may, if you believe with all your heart and this person testifies, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And then what do they say? Okay, Philip says, okay, let's baptize you now. They go to the water. Philip baptizes him. They come out of the water and the Spirit of God caught Philip away. So again, something, you know, supernatural. It's like, it's like science fiction, you know, just comes out of the water and then Philip is taken away, disappears and the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his way to rejoicing. Okay. And verse 40 says Philip was found at Azotus. So from this place to that place called Azotus, the Holy Spirit supernaturally transported him. He was found at Azotus. Well, and he went about, as if it was a normal thing, you know, he went about passing through. He preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea, the, you know, the coastal city Caesarea. So we see something supernatural happening there. And I read about this in another testimony called the heavenly man. It's about the underground church in China and talks about, I forget the name of the pastor, but it's about history and the underground church. So even there, you know, it's mentioned that the Holy Spirit did this. Like he writes about how he looks and he says that that village was about three hills away. Okay. So he starts running, you know, he's going there to, you know, share the gospel. He's late for the meeting, the church, which meets there and he's running. It's about three hills away. He sees that. But then he suddenly finds himself in front of that very house. It's as if he supernaturally, he's transported there. Okay. So we see that Holy Spirit has gone, Holy Spirit can do this. Holy Spirit did then, did it then. Amazing, right? Okay. Let's look at chapter nine. Okay. Anybody feeling bored? Yes, no? Okay. Very interesting, right? We see Holy Spirit dealing with people, dealing with groups of people, dealing with individuals and, you know, in amazing ways, right? Okay. Okay. So let's look at the pastor just got disconnected. He just be back. Okay. I'm so sorry. Can you hear me now? Okay. I think I'm back. Yeah. I just got disconnected. I'm sorry about that. Okay. So we were looking at Acts chapter nine, Acts chapter eight, right? We were looking at Philip and what was happening. So we see that the Holy Spirit doing some supernatural, amazing things, which goes beyond our logic and reasoning, right? And but we see that he did that in the New Testament church and he's like when the need arises, you know, according to his will and purpose, he's doing it today as well, right? So yes, it goes beyond our understanding when we, you know, why should he do that and how do these things happen? What the Spirit of God does that? Okay. So let's look at a few more scriptures. Okay. Acts chapter nine and let's look at verse 29. Sorry, sorry. Acts chapter nine verse 17 and 18. Okay. Acts chapter eight, 29 is what we, what we saw now. Acts chapter nine was 17 and 18. Okay. So here, Acts chapter nine, we look at Saul, who has now had this encounter on the way to, on the road to Damascus. Okay. Saul has been persecuting the church. Saul has had an encounter and on the road to Damascus, he hears his voice, he sees this light. He has been asked this question, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? And he falls off the horse, the animal that he's been, you know, traveling on, he falls off and he's unable to see now, right? He's unable to see and, and he's been given certain instructions, go to this place, go to this house, and somebody will come and meet you. Ananias will come and meet you. And, and also, you know, he will come, he will put his hands and you might receive his sight and so that. So, so he's, you know, sorry, he goes there and the instruction is that he will be told that in the meantime, Ananias is given very clear instructions that this is what he must do and he has been, and he has an encounter with God and the Lord is telling him in a vision, you go to this house and there is this man and he has already seen, he's already had a vision that this Ananias is coming and is putting his hands, etc. So, that he might receive his sight. Okay. So, let's look at verse 17, right? So, all these instructions has been given and Ananias went his way and entered the house and laying his hands on him. He said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you came has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. So, he addresses him as Brother Saul. So, by this time, you know, Saul had, had this encounter, he has had the change of heart and he's just waiting, waiting for more to happen, right? So, Ananias comes and he says, you know, the Lord Jesus has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Verse 18, immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales and he received his sight at once and he arose and was baptized. So, this is something that we read about in, when it came to Saul and soon after his encounter with the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. So, Ananias goes and prays that he might receive the Holy Spirit. So, it says here that he immediately received his sight, he arose and was baptized. So, Ananias was sent to do two things, right? To go up to pray and he was, the objective of that prayer or the end result of that prayer was Saul would receive his sight and Saul would also be filled with the Spirit. So, both happened when he prayed, right? Verse 31 says that, then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria had peace and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit they were multiplied. So, it's the testimony of, you know, we read about Saul's work. You know, he was so diligent in persecuting now how the persecution stopped and says here that the churches had peace, were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. So, the Holy Spirit we know is called the Comforter. He's the Paracletus who comes alongside, right? The Lord Jesus when he taught about the Holy Spirit to the disciples in John chapter 14, 15 and 16, we see that he says that the Comforter, you know, I will not leave you often, I will send another helper. So, the word there is Paracletus. He will come alongside, you know, the picture there is someone who comes alongside and puts an arm around you, right? And who draws you to oneself and comforts. So, he says he, the comfort of the Holy Spirit was experienced by these believers. Okay? So, he's the Comforter. Okay. Okay. So, we'll stop here and we'll come back and we'll continue with the rest of the verses in the paracletus. We'll take a break, 10 minute break and we'll come back. Thank you.
