 Okay, so welcome back. So we'll start with Lucy's question. How do we encourage present day Roman Catholics to come out of their situations? Okay, so assuming that people are part of, let's say, Roman Catholic Church and they are not saved, right? That is based on that. She's asked that question. So the thing is obviously, lead them back to the uniqueness of Christ, lead them back to the centrality of God's Word. You know, why do we believe what we believe? It's because of our, you know, what is written in the Word of God. So that's very important for, because for a person from that kind of a worldview, they might believe because that's what tradition says. I believe in this because this is what my family always believed in. I was born into this, so I believe and I don't find anything wrong with it. Or people could say, you know, they could be a very all-inclusive worldview saying, okay, I believe in this. Someone else believes in that. They could believe in that. So it's all fine. So we need to bring them back to the centrality of God's Word. You know, if we believe sincerely, does that make it the truth, right? So how do we know truth? Can we go back to the Word of God, which is the truth? Can we go back to the words of Jesus, who is the, who said, who introduced himself as the way, the truth and the life, right? So going back to the Word of God will really enable that person to see, okay? Because they're very sincere, right? They love Jesus. And so take them back to the words of Jesus. What did Jesus say? And then that can be the start of a beginning of journey. So I know that a lot of people are in the Catholic Church, but they are born again, right? They are born again, spirit filled, moving in the caves and so on. But they stay back in that environment to minister to the others. It's a difficult thing, right? No, having known the truth to continue to be in that kind of, you know, environment to minister to others. So, yeah, so that would be, that would be my answer, right? Yeah, very strong people, very strong sense of community, etc. But once they know the truth and their eyes are open to the truth, then they continue to be strong with the conviction that this is the truth. Okay, so let's move on to Chapter 7, right? Any questions based on what we saw, what we learned in Chapter 6? So like I said, you know, that book, Revivals, Visitations and Moves of God, I don't know in what all languages we have it in, but definitely we have it in English, right? You can download the PDF or take permission and take any of these books here. It's there on the bookshelf, Revivals, Visitations and Moves of God. So you could, yeah, you could read that. Very useful. It's a compilation, which means that it's a compilation putting together of various articles and also studies that have been done about church history, right? Okay. Okay, any questions? Any doubts? I think? No? Okay, right, so let's move on. Okay, Chapter 7, okay, which is the work of the Holy Spirit towards the sinner. Okay, so the Holy Spirit is moved through church history. The Holy Spirit sheds light on what is the truth. The Holy Spirit elevates Jesus. So in all this, how does the Holy Spirit move in the life of a sinner? Okay, if you look at John Chapter 16, when the Lord Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit to his disciples, right? He said this in verse 8, and when he has come, he will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment, of sin, because they do not believe in me, of righteousness, because I go to my father and you see me no more, of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. So when he, the Holy Spirit has come, he will bring in this. So he talks about three things. He will convict the world of sin. He will also, he will convict the world of righteousness and of judgment. Okay, so let's look at the first thing. We see that he convicts the world of sin. He brings conviction in the hearts of people about sin. Okay, so the Holy Spirit does that. That's his work, right? So he, people hear the truth, and because of the work of the Holy Spirit, if they're open to it, their hearts are convinced, convicted. They come to this realization, what I'm hearing is the truth, and they come to this realization, the way I'm living is not right. Okay, so he brings conviction about sin. We are looking at a person who is a sinner, meaning one who is not accepted Christ. Okay, so he brings that conviction to that person. Okay, so that which is amazing, which is wonderful, because sometimes we think that we are the ones who are supposed to bring conviction into another person's life, maybe as ministers of God, as people who are sharing the gospel evangelism, we think that, no, I have to do something to bring conviction into their lives. I have to bring them to a place of making them feel guilty, making them feel all shameful about the kind of life they're living. I need to do that work. But God is saying, no, no, that's not your work. You simply share, you simply share the truth, speak the truth, and I will do the work of convicting. Okay, so the Lord is saying the Holy Spirit, he convicts the world of sin. Then the second thing is that he convicts the world or brings a conviction about the righteousness of God, righteousness of Christ. He convicts the world of righteousness, meaning that there is a conviction that this is something right. This is wrong and this is right. So he convicts the world of righteousness. Okay, what is right? What is all the nature of God, which is righteousness? So he convicts the world of that, brings conviction about that. The third thing that we see is that the Holy Spirit brings a conviction about judgment, brings conviction about judgment, like knowing that, bringing the truth that things cannot continue as it were or as it is. There is a holy God, there is a righteous God who will one day judge the world. There is judgment. So he brings conviction on our heart about this judgment. He brings conviction that humans left to themselves, they are condemned, they cannot save themselves from this God who is holy and righteous and who brings judgment, who will come back as a judge. So he gives that conviction that, I need to be saved. And lastly, we see that the Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus. And these are some verses when we look at the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit. He said, this is what the Holy Spirit will do. This is what He will do. John 15 verse 26, but when the helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of me. So the thing is when we look at missions, when we look at evangelism, it is a privilege for us to partner with God. It is a privilege for us to partner with the Holy Spirit. He already has a plan. He already knows what to do. So we find out and we partner with him. So that takes a lot of burden off. That burden off in the sense, a lot of unnecessary pressure or unhealthy pressure off where we can come to God and say, Lord, I'm available. What is it that you want to do? What is it that you're doing so that I can partner with you so that you can move in and through me? So it says that He testifies about Jesus. He testifies. We saw what testifying is. We see what witnessing is or testifying is. It's talking to someone saying that this I can vouch for this. I can testify that this is the truth. So the Holy Spirit testifies to a person about Jesus and brings that truth. Yes, Jesus is who He said He is. This is truth about Jesus. So He testifies about Jesus. Okay, Acts chapter 5 and verse 32 says, And we are His witnesses to these things. So also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. So the disciples are saying that we are witnesses to these things. So also is the Holy Spirit who is also witness to these things. And then 1 Corinthians 12 verse 3, Paul says, Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus a cursed. And no one can say that Jesus is a Lord except by the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit causes this when He testifies about Jesus. He brings that understanding revelation and the conviction that yes, Jesus is Lord. So no one who has that revelation and understanding and conviction can actually, Paul, Jesus are cursed. And no one without that understanding can call Jesus as Lord in the true sense by saying that Jesus, you are Lord. So this is from Paul. Paul has that revelation already when he had an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. The first question he asks is, Who are you Lord? So Paul, same Paul, God is using to write, minister to the Corinthians. So Paul writes and says, No one can call him Lord except by the Spirit of God. So he called him, which means he had the encounter and by the Spirit of God he called him Lord. So the Holy Spirit causes all this in a person and brings about this in a person. So then we can say, sometimes we just think that, Okay, God will somehow do it. God will take care. Okay, God will do it sovereignly. Let Him. I don't need to. But the thing is invitation is for each one of us as disciples of the Lord Jesus to partner with what God is doing. The Holy Spirit is the one who brings change, right? Conviction of sin, conviction of righteousness, conviction of judgment. He's the one. But we have the privilege of partnering with him to be a spokesperson for Jesus. Who's a spokesperson? Who's an ambassador? When you say a spokesperson, yeah, so who is an ambassador? Generally speaking, how do you call somebody an ambassador or spokesperson? What do they do? Who are they? They represent, okay, so when you call somebody an ambassador, normally in political terms, it means that person is actually representing a nation, a country. Okay, so here's the ambassador of India who's in, let's say Canada. Okay, so what nation does he represent? He represents India. And whatever he speaks, he speaks on behalf of India. So whatever, you know, so he's the voice of India to that nation. He represents India. He's one person, but he's the ambassador, right? So he represents. So whatever he speaks, he has to be very careful, right? Because he is actually talking about this nation of India. Whatever he signs, he needs to be careful. He cannot just sign something and say, okay, India will take care of this. No, because he's representing India. So he's an ambassador, right? So we are called ambassadors for ambassadors of Christ. We are a spokesperson for Christ. Okay, so we have the privilege to be spokesperson. We have the privilege to be ambassadors for the sake of the kingdom of God. Okay, and the Holy Spirit, he does the work of transformation, even as we represent God, even as we represent Christ, even as we speak on his behalf, what do we speak? We speak the truth, we speak the word, we bring the word, but the Holy Spirit takes that and brings it real, makes it real or convicts people, testifies of Jesus to their hearts, right? So that's the beauty of the work of the Holy Spirit, right? Let's move on to the next one, which is the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. Yeah, representative, that's right Sanjay. Okay, so let's look at the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. So all of us, we've come to follow Christ. So for us to understand that, well, this is how it all began, right? This is how it began. John chapter three, the Lord Jesus is teaching Nicodemus, John chapter three and verse eight, sorry, verses one onwards. He says about this whole issue of being born again, right? Let me just, the whole thing of addressing this whole topic of being born again. So the Lord has this conversation with Nicodemus and Nicodemus is talking about, he's thinking, you know, how can a human being be born again? How can he enter into a mother's womb after he's fully grown, etc. You know, maybe, you know, if you're having a conversation, we'll think like this, maybe we'll never ask that question, right? But Nicodemus, he blurts it out. He says, how can a man get into a, you know, womb and be born again, right? It seems so foolish. So he, and the Lord answers in verse five, you know, if you look at John chapter three and verse five, the Lord Jesus is saying that, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. So he's talking about a spiritual birth. So water represents natural birth and it could also signify new birth, right? Because water represents the water of the Word of God. Ephesians five, 26 talks about that. So we see that the Lord is saying that this born again experience is by the Spirit of God, is by the Holy Spirit. So for the journey really starts for the believer with the Holy Spirit, this whole born again experience is by the Holy Spirit. Let's look at Titus chapter three versus four and five. Titus three, Titus three, verse four. But when the kindness and love of God are savior towards man appeared, not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. But he saved us, we were born again through this regeneration or washing of the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit actually brought us that new life. Okay, well, we know that the Word of God also, the Word of God also is referred to as the incorruptible seed of God by which we are born again. So it's the Word and the Spirit of God, right? And then Galatians four versus six and seven. Let's look at Galatians four verse six. Okay, Galatians four, six says, And because you are sons of God, God has sent forth the Spirit of his son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father. Okay, the Holy Spirit in our hearts causing us to cry out, God has sent the Spirit into our hearts to cry out, Abba, Father. Okay, and Acts chapter eight declares it even more plainly. And it says, sorry, Romans eight, Romans chapter eight. Okay, it says verse 15, right, says, For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. Verse 16, The Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God. Okay, the Holy Spirit, but because of the Holy Spirit, we cry out, Abba, Father. Okay, so no one really, you know, taught us or said, No, you have to do this. No, you become a child. Now, God is your heavenly Father, but the Holy Spirit, his work in us cost us to cry out, Abba, Father. Right, so the Holy Spirit gave us the revelation, the Holy Spirit gave us the assurance, right, verse 16 says, The Spirit bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God. Okay, so there is an assurance that we receive in our hearts. What does assurance mean? When you say, Okay, I'm assured, assurance, sorry, guarantee. Okay, it's a guarantee, it is what else, it's like a promise, like it's just, I think guarantee is a better word, like we feel assured. That means we are confident, we are made strong on the inside about this fact that we are children of God. So he gives us the assurance. So we know on the inside of us that we are somehow children of God. Now, we may not understand the mechanics of it, not all, but we know that we are children of God. Nobody has to tell us and force us and brainwash us and to saying, You are a child of God, You're a child of God. There is a deep assurance because we have received Christ as Lord and Savior, because of the work of the Holy Spirit in us, testifying, witnessing to our hearts that we are children of God, we have this assurance. And that is brought about by the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, we will not have that assurance. Without the Holy Spirit, we will not, it will not be, this won't be possible. So it is the work of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we might have that, do I have the Holy Spirit or not? I'm just living like this, well, that assurance that you're a child of God, even conviction of sin, that's something that you're doing or some, the way you live your life is not right, is because of the Holy Spirit who's resident within. Okay, so we are born of God. We are given that assurance that we are sons and daughters of God by the work of the Holy Spirit. And if you see, we're going to look at a few things that are in everyday life, in ministry, in all these things how the Holy Spirit works in the life of a believer. So which means that without the Holy Spirit playing this active role in our lives, we cannot actually function as believers. So we realize that, hey, I need to be, I'm so dependent on the Holy Spirit. We need Spirit of God. And that is why Jesus said, it's important that I go to the Father, that I will send another helper that he will be with you forever, John chapter 14. That's why he said, okay, I need to send the Holy Spirit so that he can be with you forever. And because we as believers, we need the Holy Spirit. And just like the Lord said, man shall not live by natural sustenance, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. So as important as the word of God is, every reema that comes from the mouth of God, so also the work of the Holy Spirit who will lead us back to the Word. Okay, let's look at a few things here. The Bible says that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit, 2nd Corinthians 1 and verse 22, 2nd Corinthians chapter 1, verse 22, now verse 21. Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. So as a guarantee for what? He's given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. What we saw was that he gives us the assurance that we are children of God. That could be one thing. But we also see that if we turn to let's say Ephesians chapter 1, Ephesians chapter 1 and verses 13 and 14. Ephesians 1 verse 13 says, in him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. So it says in whom we trusted after you heard the word of the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. So what does that mean? You believed, you put your faith in Christ and something happened to you. You were sealed. There was a mark that was made on or in you by the Holy Spirit. You were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise. Verse 14, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession to the praise of his glory? A lot is back there and that was. It says who is again that word? Guarantee. 2 Corinthians 1 also we saw the same thing. Who is the guarantee? So it says he's the guarantee of our inheritance. In other words, suppose you want to take a bike, buy a bike on let's say EMI. What bike do you want to buy? What bike do you want to buy? Yamaha MTB 50. What cc is it? It's a 1000 cc bike. Okay, so Moses, right? What's his name? Sorry. Okay, I want to buy Yamaha MT 50 bike. So it goes to the showroom and says, okay, I want to buy a bike. The person says, fine, we have this easy scheme. Everything you just signed these papers, bank loan, everything is sorted and you need to make a down payment. How much is that bike? Sorry, $1,00,000, $2,000,000, $2,049,000, $2,050,000, okay, so the sorted, $2,050,000. Okay, so the dealer says, okay, now you make a down payment of $1,00,000 and then monthly installment is how much? $5,000 to $7,000 every month. But you make that, you're not paid that $5,000 to $7,000, right? You're not paid that $5,000. They're saying you make that payment of $1,00,000. So you made that payment, down payment is done, signed off. Then surprisingly, he's not waiting till you pay those, pay off those installments. He gives you the key and says, so you choose which bike do you want the same? He gives you the bike key, registration, everything done and Aman is driving back, riding back on an empty, hopefully you're wearing a helmet and all that, right? So, yeah, $0,200 and how many minutes? How many seconds? Eight seconds, okay, so he says, ripping, okay, going down Kottanur road. So the thing is this, he's got the bike, he was handed the bike, though he did not pay that entire full thing. So the word used there is earnest or guarantee. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of the full inheritance. So he's saying, the Holy Spirit has come to dwell in you, you're not fully, what is the thing? He's saying, you're not guarantee of an inheritance until the redemption, right? The final redemption happens when we, now we have born again in our spirit, then we will have glorified bodies. So until the redemption of that inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession. So who's the honest? The down payment, the Holy Spirit. So that is what he's saying, the Holy Spirit has come to dwell in you. If the Holy Spirit is dwelling, you know, that means that there is something that's going to happen where the redemption is going to be complete. So you have great hope, right? The life that you live as a believer is the life of hope, which means that it's not just for the here and today and here and now, but there is going to be the completion of redemption in the time to come, right? And it says here, it's the guarantee of our inheritance. He's the guarantee, he's the down payment. There is an inheritance that is awaiting and he's the down payment, right? So the Holy Spirit is our inherit. So we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. He's come and dwells in us as the guarantee, right? Okay, so this is an amazing truth. This is a great news, right? So we have, first of all, the fact that the Holy Spirit indwells us itself is an amazing revelation. Just think about it, right? Who is the Holy Spirit? Holy Spirit is God. He was there right from creation. He was there. Genesis talks about that. He has seen the entire time, you know, as it turned out, the wars, the profits, you know, he is there. When the waters were parted, when there was water from the rock, he was there. When he was there in the early church, outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Acts chapter 2 and, you know, all that, he was there. The same Holy Spirit, he indwells us, right? So that's an amazing revelation. Wow, it's not like someone who's a new version, version, you know, version 2023, no, the same Holy Spirit, he indwells us. So when we turn back, when we turn, when we turn to God and when we say, Lord, I want to receive from you, teach me, remind me, guide me into all truth, he does that. Now, sometimes we think, okay, will the Holy Spirit know this, you know, really know some of these things about business, about finance, about, you know, about technology? Does he know? Of course he knows, right? He's the one who taught the farmer, you know, this is how you sow, this is how you reap, he's the one who taught Desalel, this is how you cut these jewels, this is the craftsmanship and everything, he's the one who taught, right? He's our wisdom. So we can actually receive from him. He resides in us and many times we don't speak, right? We don't speak, we don't ask or it is, it is not in faith. So we can, we can receive, there's so much that we can draw from the presence of God, from the presence of the Holy Spirit and he's with us to help us, that's a, that's the best thing, but he's not there to resist us, he's there to help us and that is why he's called the helper. Lord Jesus said he's coming to help you, help you to live a sanctified life, help you to live an overcoming life, right? Okay, let's move on. So when we see sanctifying work, you know, that's to crucify the work of the flesh, to live according to the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit enables us to do that, okay? Actually, you can read through the entire chapters, Romans chapter 6, 7 and 8. I just want to, you know, look at chapter 8, okay? Chapter 8 and verse, so let's look at verses 12 onwards or 13 onwards, right? It says, for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. So many of us have this idea, you know, I'm not holy enough for the Holy Spirit to work in me, right? I must be a little more holy and then the Holy Spirit will speak to me or work in me, right? I have to be holy because the Holy Spirit is holy, I have to be a little more holy. But look at this verse, what does it teach you? If you live according to the flesh, you will die, okay? So that means that if you live according to the appetites of the flesh, according to the leading of the flesh, right? What does flesh mean? Bodily appetites, right? Fleshly appetites, unrenewed mind is also referred to as a flesh, unrenewed thinking. So if you live according to, you know, whatever you want to do, it says, it'll bring us to a place of death, spiritually, physically, right? It'll bring us to a place of death. But if by the Spirit, you put to death, okay? By the Spirit, who? The Holy Spirit. By the Holy Spirit, which means that with the help of the Holy Spirit, with the help of his power, you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live, okay? So which means that we should shift our thinking, okay? The Holy Spirit has come so that I can put to death the things of the flesh, put to death, meaning bring an end, bring an end, permanent end to the things of the flesh, to the appetites of the flesh. So the Holy Spirit is going to help me, empower me, to put to death, to bring an end to the, to that kind of a life living according to the flesh. So Paul is writing and he's saying, if by the Spirit, you put to death the things of the flesh, you will live, okay? So the Holy Spirit, that is why he has come, to enable us to live a holy life, okay? To enable us to live a sanctified life. So I don't have to do in my own strength or with my own things, you know, to try and live a holy life and then come to the Holy Spirit. I can say Holy Spirit, this is how I am, this is where I am, you know, struggling maybe in certain things, certain areas, you come help me, help me. I want to put to death the things of the flesh. I want to live, right? The Holy Spirit is more than willing to do that. In fact, that's, that's his ministry, okay? Romans 1, 4 says that perfecting Holy, perfecting Holiness according to the Spirit of Holiness. I declare to be Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness by the resurrection of the dead. So he is the Spirit of Holiness. So it enables us to bring to completion or maturity, sanctification and holiness in us, okay? Another scripture, 1 Corinthians 3 verses 16, okay? And we're not going through all the verses listed there. We're just going through a few verses, right? 1 Corinthians 3 verse 16 says, do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are? So that is again, we are a temple or a habitation dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Our body, very specifically it says, do you not know, 1 Corinthians 3 says, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, okay? In 1 Corinthians 6, if you see 1 Corinthians 6 and verse 19 and 20 says, do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, okay? Who is in you, whom you have from God and you are not your own. For you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods, which belong to God, okay? Which we were bought at a price. We are Christ's possessions, which means we are His property. So you're saying glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which actually don't belong to you, but belong to Jesus because He has purchased us, right? And we are, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, okay? So therefore He comes and to enable us to live a holy life. So we can depend, we can ask and so this is the thing. Sometimes we say, okay, Holy Spirit make me holy, okay? I prayed. I know He will make me, I don't know when He'll make me holy, but, you know, I prayed. He'll make me holy, okay? But Romans 8 verse 13 it says, if by the spirit, who puts to death? Read that verse again, Romans 8, Romans 8 and verse 13, right? Okay, read that verse. If by the spirit, so I prayed to the Holy Spirit, okay? He has filled me with power. He is giving me ideas. Who puts to death the deeds of the body? Yeah, okay? Who puts to death? It's you, right? You have a, you and I, you know, we have to personally do something. The Holy Spirit will enable us. The Holy Spirit will give us that desire. The Holy Spirit will empower us, right? But I have to make a decision. I have to make a choice and I have to, sometimes it's a series of decisions being led by the Spirit, right? So by the Spirit, I need to do something. I need to put to death the deeds of the body. It's very important, right? Because we think, okay, Holy Spirit is in us. Holy Spirit, I prayed to the Holy Spirit, nothing is working. I've been praying for years for things to change. It's not working. Things are not changing. You become very frustrated. Holy Spirit, where are you? God, where are you? Right? I've been praying, I've been asking and nothing is changing in my life, no transformation. So here, saying, if by the Spirit you put to death, okay, the Holy Spirit will give you ideas, you have to say yes. The Holy Spirit will probably say, hey, don't do that. I have to say, okay, fine, I will not. It depends on my response. But the Holy Spirit will empower us, empower us, right? To say yes. He will empower us. He will give us the, sometimes we don't, emotionally, we don't feel like it. We don't feel like saying yes to the Holy Spirit, right? We feel like saying no to the Holy Spirit. Or when the Holy Spirit says, okay, you need to say no to this, you feel like saying yes. The opposite of what the Holy Spirit is leading, right? Emotionally, we may not feel it. But if by faith, you know, we see that Holy Spirit is with me, Holy Spirit is strengthening me. Therefore, I will make a choice. I will make that choice. That choice can be so very powerful, very powerful. That, you know, for example, if you see the study, we learn about the parable of the prodigal son, right? He went, he wasted all the money. He was eating that. He was considering, hey, I said, maybe I should eat this big food. Then he came to himself. He made a choice. He made a decision. What did he say? I'm going back. I'm going back to my father's house. He made a decision. He made a choice and that choice changed his life, right? So the Holy Spirit will give us conviction. The Holy Spirit will give us the, also the ability, but we need to make that choice. And when we make that choice and then we make the decision, follow through, this will be life changing, right? There'll be transformation. Okay, so that's what we see here. If by the Spirit you put to death, you will live. If you put to death the needs of the body, you will live. It's, it's as different or it's as drastic as death and life, just you will actually live, right? Okay, what else? When we walk in the Spirit or when we walk as led by the Spirit of God, you know, we can walk in love. Just want us to look at Galatians 5. Okay, Galatians chapter 5. Okay, Galatians 5 and verse 16. Okay, it says, I say then, walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Okay, verse 17 it says, the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary or opposite to each other, so that you do not do the things that you wish, but if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. So you use a certain words like walk in the Spirit, led by the Spirit. Okay, so what does it mean to walk in the Spirit? Any idea? Walk in the Spirit, because it's a very important thing. It says, if you walk in the Spirit, then you shall not look at the verse. What did it say? Verse 16. Galatians 5 verse 16. Yeah, so it's, it's an end to all frustration. It's an end to, you know, living a very defeated life, which is walking in the Spirit, according to the Holy Spirit. So, so it's an important thing. We need to understand what is this walking in the Spirit? Okay, so this walking is to be led by, to be taught by, and in living in obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Right, so you're saying you walk in this way. When you walk or live your life, okay, the Bible uses words like walk, run, referring to the way we conduct our lives, right? Like in other words that we see in Hebrews, right? Say, run with endurance, looking unto Jesus, who's the author and perfecter of our faith. Run. What does it mean? It means that the way you live your life, you know, when you're, the way you conduct your life, do it with endurance. You need stamina. Same way, it says walk in the Spirit. So walk according to being led by the Spirit, being prompted by the Spirit, being in obedience to the Spirit of God. So when we do that, there's a guarantee, there's an assurance, you're saying that and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. It says these two are opposite, the pulling in opposite directions. Like one is an appetite of the body and craving to fulfill in ungodly ways. The other one is leading to life, right? So you do that and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Let's go down to verse 25, same chapter. Galatians 5 verse 25, if we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. So you're saying your entire life, you know, you live, you walk, you do everything as led by the Spirit of God. So it's very important for us to learn, how can I be led by the Spirit of God? Because it's the key to not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. It's a key to a victorious life, to be led by the Spirit of God. So for every believer, we need to understand, okay, I need to live my life as ordered, as prompted, as led by the Holy Spirit. That's going to lead me into life, right? Into freedom, okay? So walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, okay? Then we look at Romans chapter 5 and verse 5. Romans 5 and verse 5 says, now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us, okay? Now why are we looking at these verses? We are looking at how the Holy Spirit enables or helps the life of a believer, okay? One who's put the trust in Jesus. Now the Holy Spirit is, say, so we saw that, okay, the life of holiness, sanctification, everything happens. Now this is also something as we walk as led by the Spirit of God says here, hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. What has been poured out into our hearts? The love of God. What is that love of God? What does that mean? The love of God. Something has been put to us, something has been given to us, poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. It's already been done, right? So we need to know, hey, what do I have? What has the Holy Spirit done to me? We need to understand. Only then I'll be able to really enjoy it, walk in it. Sometimes if I'm ignorant of it, I won't even know. So it's like one day you're opening a bag or a box and saying, oh, I didn't know this was here. All these years I had it. If I had known, I would have used it. The love of God. The word used there is agape. So the love of God, the love that God has, when you say, you know, this is my phone or this is my watch, it belongs to me. So here's a similar way saying the love of God, the love that belongs to God, that love that comes from him has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Okay. So the love of God is already there. Then what's the problem? Right? The problem is when I open my mouth, I'm shouting at this guy. And I know when I think these thoughts, I'm thinking thoughts of revenge. There's something, right? There's something that is not happening, right? If I have the love of God, if I have the Holy Spirit, just think about it. You're walking, talking, you know, people who are carrying the presence of God, something needs to go out, right? Something needs to, in our expression, in our behavior, something needs to change. Okay. So we look at that in the coming class. Okay. We'll stop here. Thank you.
