 God is good and all the time. Amen. Amen. Congratulations to all of you who graduated. You just left Egypt into wilderness. And once you get married, those of you who are married already, you will go into the promised land. And let's give Jesus a round of applause for all the graduates. Amen. And while we're standing right now, let's just pray for God's grace, for the Spirit of God. To bless our graduates and to bless the word that we're gonna hear today. We'll just stretch our hands right now to the Lord. Holy Spirit, we welcome your presence in this room. We ask you that you will open up our hearts to your word and to your presence. Bless the graduates. Support them in their future endeavors. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. You may take your seats in the presence of God. Before I open the scriptures, I just wanted to encourage all those people who graduated. And for a moment, if you can look at me. Not because I'm handsome. My wife is very beautiful. And she's the one that dresses me. And I said, praise God. Yes, I do praise God for that too. Because before I got married, I could never match my clothes. I couldn't do my hair. I just wore what was comfortable. But what was comfortable never looked good. When I got married to my beautiful wife, she threw away all of my suits. All. I wore them for eight to nine years. They were anointed. But she said they were oversized. I was like, well, that's why I bought them for future, you know. The room to grow. Through all of them. I had like three days depression. But I'm doing well. She cuts my hair and does my hair. And makes me do this. And wear blue socks. Also have my beautiful sister with me. And my wife's sister. And my uncle. Amen. Two sisters are single. And ready to mingle. The graduates. I want to encourage you to never stop growing. When I came to the United States at the age of 13, my pastor started a church. And they started to worship. Which meant we could lift our hands. I grew up in a church. We were not allowed to raise our hands. Women were not allowed to wear anything on their face. And no earrings. No clapping. No drums. All of the guitar, no guitars. Just an old school piano. And my pastor brings worship to church. I'm a 13-year-old boy. Who's convinced God does not approve of raising hands in church. I took the Bible to my pastor's son. And I was like, in here, it says, drums are from the devil. And I'm trying to convince him. He opens the scripture. And he says, over here, David danced. This person raised their hands. I was like, I don't care. But I know God doesn't like this. And it dawned on me at that moment that at the age of 13, I became a scholar. I stopped being a student. At the age of 13, I was convinced I had God figured out. At the age of 13, I was convinced that I could put an ocean into a cup. Never stop learning. Once you graduate from school and you get your bachelor's degree, PhD, anything you get, don't ever stop learning. I saw a little chickens. How little chickens were born in Ukraine. Mama Chicken produces an egg. And she puts it in a nest. And for 21 days, she sits on it. Thank you. And she sits on 21 days on those eggs. But the little chicken is inside of the egg. And then, about on 18th day, you begin to see through the shell the little chickens are already there. But the mama never breaks the shell of the egg. She just keeps sitting on the nest. And she never helps the little one. Now, if you're a mother, and your child is trapped in the egg, and they're trying to get out, you would help. You would break the egg. Nicely. Well chickens, don't do that. And you know why? Because they know. If I keep sitting on this nest, the little one will keep growing. And the little one will outgrow the egg. And the egg will crack. And the little one will come out. If you don't stop growing, if you don't stop learning, you're going to grow out of your situation, out of your sickness, out of your bondage, out of your poverty, and out of every situation in your life. Because somebody say amen. We love when God delivers right at the altar. Or He heals. Or quickly chains are broken. But for many of us, that's not how it's going to happen. It's going to happen as you keep learning. Keep growing. And certain things will be falling off. Jesus said, you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free. He did not say you will come to the altar. It has to pray for you and you will be free. Even though that's exactly what happens also. But there is freedom that only exists when we learn and grow. Amen. It's so beautiful to see in Hispanic culture, and the same thing is in our culture. People focusing on education. Because without proper education, even if we get prosperous, we will not be able to maintain it. They did this study where they made seven millionaires and they made them homeless for five years. They removed all of their previous contacts. And they had to be homeless. And they wanted to see how long will it take for the millionaires to stop being homeless. And at the same time, they took seven homeless people and gave them a million dollars. And they wanted to see what's going to happen. To their amazement, in a matter of two years, most of the millionaires who were homeless became millionaires. The others, it took five years. And to their amazement, the homeless, who had one million dollars, most of them became homeless in one year. And the rest of them in about two years. And they came to the conclusion that a millionaire is the head, not the pocket. And that's why it's so important to always renew your mind. And to educate yourself. Amen. And never to stop learning. I think it was, I will share one more story and then get to the message. Sorry, I just got on this whole teaching part. It was Shaquille O'Neal who played for, was it Miami Heats? And he got signed for basketball. And NBA, right? NBA, not a lot. But he signed for a basketball. They gave him a contract for a few million dollars. He took the first million and he spent the first million in 30 minutes. That's fast. His banker called him. He's like, if you're going to go at this rate, he's a UB broke, like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and so many other stars. And that's when a very famous basketball player did exactly what you guys are doing. He went back to finish his associates while playing basketball. Went back and finished his bachelor's while making millions of basketball. Went back and finished his master's and finished his PhD. And this is what he said. It's not how much you make, but how much you're educated to keep. And today this player owns 155 food restaurants, 17 other restaurants, 150 car washes, 40 gyms, a shopping center, a movie theater, and a lot of other things. He doesn't play basketball no more, but his salary a month is half a million dollars. Why? Not because he's a great basketball player, not because he makes a lot of money, but because he's educated to keep that money. Amen. Everything you get in life, you need to be educated to keep it. And when you keep it, God's going to give you more. Let's put our hands together for Jesus Christ. With that said, let's go to a book of Genesis, Genesis chapter 41, chapter 41, and verse 37. We'll start with verse 38. We're just going to read few verses for the lack for the shortage of time, and I want to speak today, especially to our graduates and to all of us, and to speak on a very known subject that most of you have heard about before. I'm going to speak about Holy Spirit. Amen. And as you have Genesis 41 opened, in verse 38, we're going to read the verse in just a few seconds. When you were born, Satan gave you a gift. I know some of you don't think Satan gives gifts, but he does. All of you have received this gift. You actually have this gift with you right now, and this is the worst thing you've ever received in your life. This gift, Satan gives to everybody. Everybody. This gift, you want to know what this gift is? Well, you already know. You already have it. It's called flesh. This was Satan's way of saying happy birthday, and flesh is the stupid part of you. It's the bad part. What always wants to do bad. Even those of you who are Christians, your flesh is still bad. Sometimes we think because you became a Christian, God gives modification to our flesh. Christians, their flesh wants to do half sin. No, your flesh was not touched when God saved you. That's why don't be surprised if Christians can do some of the weirdest things in this world. Because they have a flesh that needs to be crucified and dealt with every day. When you grew up, you heard the gospel of Jesus, and you believed in that gospel. God gave you a gift, and this gift, now we know it's salvation, forgiveness of our sins, but there's something even greater. It's God gave us his Holy Spirit. No, no, no, not just on earth, but he gave it into our hearts. Amen. Now, people don't commit sin because they have flesh. They commit sin because they yield to their flesh, and people don't live holy because they have Holy Spirit. They live holy because they yield to the Holy Spirit. You can have Holy Spirit and never live a holy life, just like you can have flesh and never live a sinful life. So the question is not whether you have it. The question is who do you yield your life to? Can somebody say amen? I have a duplex, a duplex like multiple houses, and I have a basement where I live. It has its own separate bathroom and everything. I have two people living in my basement, but I don't know them. I know their name. I know where they work. I know their source security. Well, actually I do know them now, if I have their source security. But I don't have a relationship with them. And then I have a person living in my room, sleeps in the same bed with me. It's my wife. Many times, Holy Spirit, in the life of a Christian, is like a roommate in the basement. But the flesh is who they sleep with every day. The question is not whether Holy Spirit lives in you. The question is, is your life yielded to him? Because he can be a roommate or he can be your lover. Is somebody saying amen? I think it was D.L. Moody said. He put an empty glass and he said, how do you remove the air out of the glass? Well, his students were very smart. The ones said, well, you can take a powerful vacuum and suck the air out of the glass. He said, you're smart, but not really smart. He said, the glass will crack if you will suck the air out. So they all gave up. He says, let me tell you how to remove the air out of the glass without breaking the glass. He said, you have to put the water in and the water will push the air out. And that's exactly how it is in a Christian life. Paul says, walk in the Holy Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. What Paul is saying is that if you flood your life with the Holy Spirit, he will push out the flesh out. He will push the demons out. He will push the sin out. He will push the pornography out when he comes in. Is somebody saying amen? In Genesis, chapter 41, verse 38, and we're going to read it till verse 41. I will read it and in the past I will read it. And the Pharaoh said to his servants, can we find such one as this in whom is the Spirit of God? And Pharaoh said to Joseph, in as much as God has shown to you all this, there is no one as discerning as wise as you. You shall be over my house and over my people and my people shall be ruled according to your word. Only in regard to the throne I will be greater than you. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, see I have set you over all the land of Egypt. And the Pharaoh said to his servants, can we find such one as this in whom is the Spirit of God? Pharaoh said to Joseph, in as much as God has shown to you all this, there is no one as wise as you. You shall be over my house and over my people and my people shall be ruled according to your word. Only in regard to the throne I will be greater than you. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. Amen. Now I want to compare today Joseph to the Holy Spirit. Typically Joseph is compared to Jesus. And there are so many comparisons in his life that go to, compared to Jesus. But I want to take a little different bend today of just taking his life as a shadow of the Holy Spirit in our lives. And I'm just going to have, well we preachers have to have three points. So I'm going to have three points. Amen. Unless you want to have more points. Amen. That's right. Joseph was born in this house of Jacob. But he was destined to rule. Amen. So he's destined to rule. He's gifted to rule. He's anointed to rule. But he's in the house. Not as a ruler, but just as a son. And he starts in the house of Jacob, his father. Not ruling, but reporting bad things his brothers did. And if you have those people in your house, we don't like them. When they go to your parents and they tell everything that you're doing, and in the age of iPhone, they take iPhone picture of where you were. We don't like that. So a ruler, supposed to be a ruler, but he doesn't rule, he reports. And guess what the brothers did? They're like, we're going to silence you. We're going to teach you a thing or two. And they shut him up. The Holy Spirit is destined to rule your life. But he doesn't start with ruling. He starts with reporting. I'm going on the youth service 19 years of age. I mentioned before my message that I love to wear whatever I wanted. I took my three size sport pants, put them on. They were so comfortable. They were anointed. I get out through my living room. My dad looks at me, he says, where are you going? I'm at church. He's in those pants. I said, God doesn't look at pants, God looks at the heart. I mean, I know the word. I get into my car. I'm about to start the car. My dad is so traditional. I'm like, man, he needs to be changed. As I'm there, and the Holy Spirit starts reporting. He said, go change your pants. It wasn't in my audible voice, but it was right here. And I said, why? You said in your word, I can bring it to you. And a fellow Holy Spirit says, I know what I said. But I also said to honor your father and your mother. All the parents are like, hey man, that's right. Revival is going to happen tonight in Jesus' name. And I said, Holy Spirit, I can't go there. Not because I don't want to change the pants. I'm 19. I'm a man of God. And if I go there, and my dad sees that I'm going to change my pants, my dad will have this look. And I don't want to see that. I said, I will die. Crucified. I'll go naked to church. But I just do not want my dad to see that I'm going to change my pants because he's my dad. I said, Lord, Lord, I'm going to die. And I really felt this whisper. Holy Spirit said, that's what I want. He said, I don't care about the pants. I want you to die. And I died. I went there. And my dad was sitting in the living room. And he had this mocking smile. I told you, I changed my pants. And when I was walking out, he didn't say anything nice. He just said, that's right. That's right. When you're 19 years of age, that is similar to being cut by a knife. But it was that night. Holy Spirit moved to the youth service. See, I expected Holy Spirit to move with the service. Healing people. Demons coming out. People being saved. But Holy Spirit started in the car as my reporter. The first time Holy Spirit spoke to Samuel, he didn't tell him he's going to shake the nations. He told him, go heal this person. He told him, something Samuel never wanted to hear. Samuel is a little boy. And the Spirit of God tells him, go to that man that you're afraid of named Eli. And tell him, his house destroyed. All of his kids destroyed. He said, not me. He's going to stop feeding me. No, I'm not talking to him. Only then after that God started telling him things that he wanted to hear. But it didn't start like that. First time we see Holy Spirit lead Jesus, it was too fast. Not to cast our demons. Not to see miracles. But not to eat for 40 days. See, most of us, we want the Holy Spirit's power. But you cannot get to the power until when his voice begins to bug your consciousness and you don't ignore it. And you don't be like Joseph's brothers who said, you know what? You talk too much. And they shut him up. And that's why Joseph never ruled their house. Why? Because they did not honor him as the reporter. He, being the son of Jacob, ruled Egypt and he the nation. Why? Because they honored him. Holy Spirit doesn't rule your life because you pay the cost. Holy Spirit doesn't rule your life because you speak in tongues. Holy Spirit rules your life and gives his power when you pay attention to your consciousness. Especially when he tells you something you know that you know that you have to do. But you're looking at other people, they don't have that. They're not doing that. But to you, he's touching your heart and he's saying, that boy out of your life, he looks at your life and he says, these finances, they have to go help the poor. Or this time is to pray. When you silence that voice, he will walk out. The only thing that will be left is the clothes, a memory, a doctrine, speaking in tongues. But his power, his presence, is quieted. I'm connected closely with the ministry of Prophet TBJ. God uses him mightily in the prophecy. And speaks to him about football, just anybody, everybody. I remember one service about four years ago. One mother, she had two of her children kidnapped. In Nigeria, if your kids are kidnapped, there's two reasons. First one is ransom. Second one is body parts. If you don't hear in three days from the kidnappers, that means your kids are going to be sold on a black market for body parts. And this mother had two children and it's been three days and nobody called for money. She comes to church and she was sitting on one side of the church. And this Prophet TBJ, he's walking, he turns around and he points to that direction. He said, there is a mother. He said, you have children and you are troubled by your children. Come. And she runs to the front. She collapses in the front. Brings the two pictures and says, man of God, please pray for my kids. The whole church got up and they started to pray. As the prayer was going on, TBJ taps the microphone. He says, I see a vision and I see two of your kids bound and I see where. He said, on Tuesday they will be released and on Sunday you will come with them to church. Next Sunday, there comes a mother with two children. And they start to testify. And the Prophet asked them, he said, what happened last Sunday around 12 o'clock when we were praying here? He said, it was weird. The little boys, he said, at 12 o'clock the people who kidnapped us, they started fighting and they said, we are not good enough for their project. He looks at the boy and he says, was there a girl with you guys? They're like, yes. He describes her dress clothes and says she will be also released. But because of what they did to her, she will be mental unless they bring her to God's house and then God will deliver her. Now, you listen to that. You're like, I want to hear God. You want to know how it started? When he was in high school and the man came with a gun who was mental, you know how we have in schools people shoot? That's what happened there. And people started running for their lives and something inside, a small still voice, said, don't run. Go against him without a gun, without nothing. And when you get close to him, tell him, in the name of Jesus, give me the gun. He started to march, afraid, because if this doesn't work, this is not like, well, I prayed for them, they didn't get healed. This is like, if he doesn't give me the gun, then he's going to kill me. A 17-year-old boy and he says, I decided to pay attention to Holy Spirit when it would cost me my life. In front of everybody in school, he comes up to that man, this close, and he tells him with a shaking, shivering voice, in the name of Jesus, give me the gun. The man looks at him, says, yeah, no problem. He gives him the gun. And he says, after that, God was testing me more. And my willing to give my whole life so that I can walk with God. This pastor that I mentioned, he doesn't have a house. He lives in the church. Really old van, drives really old van. People who walk with Holy Spirit, it doesn't start with big, amazing miracles. It starts with small things. Say sorry to your husband. Apologize to your mom. Pick up the vacuum and go clean the room like you promised. Tell your teacher that you cheated on the test. Tell your spouse you looked at pornography. If you do that, you will do exactly what the brothers of Joseph did. And he walks away. He's still with you, but his presence, his power, he begins to look at your life, and it's not there. And if you will track your life, you will see that there are moments when he speaks and when he is not honored, he will walk away. I'm not saying you're not a Christian. I'm not saying you don't have Holy Spirit. But Holy Spirit doesn't have you. He starts as a reporter. Jesus said he'll convict us of sin. Pay attention to your conscience, especially when somebody is sharing a need in church and God tugs on your heart to do something. When an offering is passing in church and pastors announcing something is happening, we need to raise this money for this project. Pay attention. When you're doing something with your spouse, with your children, when you're in school, just pay attention. Because that's where it starts. His power doesn't get unleashed until his voice is honored. I remember when I was driving, it was a long time ago, I was going to lunch, and there was a young man playing basketball at the church parking lot. And as I'm driving by and I'm looking at him, and Holy Spirit tugs in my heart, he said pull over. Just invite him to church. I said nah, I don't know him. He said go there. I'm going to be late for my lunch. So I keep driving. I'm like I'll do it when I come back. Tonight I'm going to have a service. I can't expect his power if I don't honor his voice. I stopped the car, pulled over, and young man was more than happy. He's like I just moved from New Orleans. I don't know nobody. He's like I would love to come to church. He comes that night. He gives his life to Jesus. He gets baptized. He becomes, you know, a person in our church. And there will be no power in the service if there will be no voice before the service. God speaks to all of us. He puts it in our heart. But it's so still. It's sometimes such a, you can so easily ignore it. And when you don't ignore it, you honor it. Holy Spirit will honor you. Because somebody say amen. You know, I remember about four years ago. I was trying to get married. I was 24. I had money saved up. I just couldn't find a woman. There was many of them. But I couldn't find my. We went too fast as a church. In the beginning of the year. It was 21 days, just on water. Tough. On about 18 days, I stopped my fasting. So I have a big chunk of money in my savings account. And I was saving money aggressively. By nature, I am a very frugal person. I don't buy expensive things. I don't like to eat out. And if I see a penny, I'm going to save it. And Pastor, I saved money so much that I used my parents' car and my brother's clothes. So I was very aggressive. So every penny in my bank account represented sacrifice. As we are fasting, Holy Spirit begins to tug in my heart. That I have too much money saved up. In the beginning, I was like, the devil is a liar. God said here, we need to save money. But after three days, I began to notice, it's probably not the devil. And I was like, God, you can't ask me that. You know how much I sacrifice. What if a woman shows up tomorrow? How am I going to marry? And God's like, do you have any luck with that? I was like, you're right. I took a big chunk. I won't tell you which part. It was enough to almost give me a heart attack. And I started to pray for the next few days who to give the money to. It's so weird to pray like that. I know how to pray. God, give me money. Imagine you have thousands of dollars to say, Lord, who do I give this to? You feel so spiritual until you give it away. You look at your account. You're like, what did I just do? I was like, I just went crazy. I was like, I know what happened. I did not eat for 18 days and my brain just went bad. I was like, I will never tell nobody. If my parents find out that I just gave away this money, they're going to sign me up to a mental institution. I was like, God, I can't get married now. I don't have money. Eight months later, I was married. After the marriage, the honeymoon, the ring, one carrot, the furniture in the house, everything was paid for. And I had $7,000 left. I learned that day. God is not after my money. He's not after my fast. He's not after nothing. But one thing, will I honor his voice? And he says, if you honor my voice, I will honor you. If you don't honor his voice, like House of Jacob, famine comes. But Joseph is not there. Famine comes to Egypt. But Joseph is there. And Joseph is honored in Egypt. But he's not honored at home. And Joseph raises Egypt up. He takes Pharaoh and actually makes him the greatest man. Because Pharaoh was not afraid to honor Joseph. He had reasons. Because Joseph had a questionable reputation in Egypt. He was not in prison because he preached the gospel. The rumors were that he was a rapist. Imagine how much risk it takes to give a man a nation who's coming out of prison. But Pharaoh said, God's spirit is inside him. And I'll give him the country. And Joseph saves the country. And also saves Pharaoh. But he did nothing in the house of Jacob. Because he was not honored. Holy Spirit doesn't work when we believe in him. He works when we honor him. And the way you honor Holy Spirit, step number one, you pay attention to your conscience. Because somebody say amen. Step number two, you honor God's word. Joseph is in Egypt. And Pharaoh gets a dream from God. And God gives Pharaoh about next 14 years what's going to happen. But God speaks in such a way that only Joseph can understand. God decodes the message. The message is for Pharaoh. But Pharaoh cannot understand without Joseph. And where is Joseph? Oh, he's in prison. This is a picture of some people. God gives this word. But this word cannot be understood without the Holy Spirit. But many people have Holy Spirit in their basement. Not a relationship. Not paying attention. Not welcoming him. I think it's Smith Wigglesworth said. Some people like to read their Bible in English. Some in Greek. Some in Hebrew. I like to read it in the Holy Ghost. Amen. It was Jesus who was led by Holy Spirit into the wilderness to fast. But after that you don't see Holy Spirit mentioned. You see demons attacking. And now Jesus had to rely on this. Holy Spirit will bring you to a place where relying on his book will be the only way you'll get through. I know what I'm talking about. Because when you start developing a relationship with Holy Spirit, you become very sensitive. And you will go overboard on feelings. I don't feel anything. What happened? What do I do? God, where are you? And God, you're not going to feel his presence. He's going to withdraw. Why? Because he wants you to learn. Not just to honor his voice. But to lean on his word. When you start honoring his voice, you will be brought to a place. Just like Jesus. Where only his word will get you through. You will get into your room to pray. And you will only hear demons. Confusion, doubt. You're like, man, did God even brought me here? What am I doing here? Why did I do that? Man, all this is waste of time. I don't feel that no more. That's exactly what happened to Jesus. Holy Spirit brings him to a wilderness and leaves him there. And only on this Jesus got through. And then after the wilderness, Holy Spirit comes again in power. Many people die in this wilderness. Because they try to say, Holy Spirit, where are you? He said, I'm right here. Right here. I'm not in your feelings. I am in my word. Because somebody say amen. So we honor his voice. And that we honor his word. Because somebody say amen. And the last thing is that Holy Spirit is a reporter. Holy Spirit is a revealer. And only then he becomes a ruler. When we honor his voice. Only then he will honor us. By empowering us. And giving us what we need. In every situation. There was one little boy. He had a big house. This house had two floors. And one day Jesus knocks on his house. And so he welcomed Jesus in. He says, Jesus, I'm going to give you the master bedroom upstairs. It has a jacuzzi. It's very big. You will love it. Jesus said, thank you. The next day there is another knock on the door. Well, it was the devil. And the devil sneaked inside. The little boy and the devil fought. And finally toward the end of the day. He pushed the devil out. He was tired. He walks upstairs to Jesus. He says, Jesus, did you hear that I was fighting the devil downstairs? He says, yeah, I heard some noise. He said, what was going on? What in the hell was going on? You did not come? Jesus says, with all due respect, I am your guest. The boy gets an idea. Jesus needs more room. Jesus, instead of master bedroom, you have the whole upstairs. Five rooms, yours. Just while I don't need five rooms, I'll take it. And next day there is another knock on the door. The boy remembers the day yesterday. So he's like, I'm not going to open the door wide. Just open just a little bit. To see who is there. And if it's the devil, I'm going to shut it back in. So he opened just a little bit. As he did that, the devil put his foot in. And the devil got in again. And they fought and they fought and they fought. And finally he got the devil out. And lo and behold, Jesus walks from upstairs. And the second floor. And now the boy is upset. Not at the devil. At Jesus. He says, Jesus, we need to talk. I gave you five rooms. That's a lot. You? You? Are not doing anything. Jesus said, I'm a guest with five rooms. The boy gets the idea. He takes the keys. Gives it to Jesus. He says, now I'm the guest. Where do you want me to stay? Jesus said, take the master bedroom. The next day there's a knock on the door. The boy rushes to open the door. Jesus says, what are you doing? He says, you're not the owner. You shouldn't be answering doors. He said, guests, don't answer doors. So Jesus says, I'm the owner. I'm going to answer the door. So the boy decides to hide behind Jesus to see. And Jesus comes in. He doesn't open the door just a little bit. He opens it wide. And when the devil saw him, he says, sir, I'm so sorry. It's a wrong house. Wrong door. I will never do it again. All Christians have Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit doesn't have all Christians. And some of us, we love to give God the rooms. You came to the altar. God, here's one more room. One more room. But you're not doing anything. God wants you to give him control. He wants to honor your life. But you have to honor his voice. And you have to honor his word. And give him room. When you give God room. When you give God control, he will do miracles. He will do miracles. We had a lady last year in our church who could not have children for ten years. The doctor examined her and found out that she did not have eggs to conceive. So she actually will never be able to have children because she is not capable. Last year we had once among these prayer lines and she came for prayer lines. During prayer, Holy Spirit's presence was in control. Actually a demon starts manifesting out of her. I mean, she was uncontrollable. When the spirit was cast out, she collapsed on the floor, she got up and said, I feel so good. She goes back home. A month later, she becomes pregnant. Last month she gave birth to a baby boy without eggs. That's what happens when Holy Spirit is in control. There was one father from Seattle who had a son. His son had asthma. For six years. Every single day he had to use the inhaler and some other things. For six years. It was also about last year. And he came for prayer. He had all of those things. And Holy Spirit was in control. Prayer was offered for the son. And father came back six months later. He says, I'm here to testify. Since that prayer, it's been six months. And my son has not once used the inhaler. Two months ago, there was a lady named Jasmine. Originally from Fiji. But she lives in Sacramento. Her grandpa was a witch doctor. And he dedicated her to Satan. Since a child, she would have nightmares. And a man walks in a physical form into the bed to her. She would see him physically. She wouldn't see the features of his face, but she would see a feature. He would drag her from the bed and beat her in the room. Her husband testified that he sees his wife coming from the bed and suffering on the floor. He said, I don't know what's happening. During prayer, Holy Spirit was in control. An evil spirit that was coming like a man, exposed, and was cast out. And she received her freedom. She goes back home. It's been two months. And nobody shows up at night. She sleeps peacefully. Why am I sharing this? To let you know, Holy Spirit, when he's in control, miracles happen. When Holy Spirit is in control, healings happen. Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to be in Seattle. One girl had a thyroid, and she could not swallow saliva. And if she swallowed, there would be severe pain in her throat. And we prayed like we're going to pray today. We're going to welcome Holy Spirit. And we prayed. It was a simple prayer. But I asked people to place their hand on their sick part. And when she did that, after a few minutes, I asked the people to sense any change in their body. And she was standing right here. And so I was looking at her. And she kept swallowing like that. And I was like, that's weird. And she said, hey, I have a testimony. And she starts to share. She said, you guys won't believe. I can swallow. I was like, well, we all can swallow. She said, you don't understand. I have a surgery scheduled. And I can't swallow without a syrupy. With tears rolling down her eyes. When service was finished, she was showing to everybody that she could swallow. Holy Spirit wants to do miracles in our lives. He wants to heal us. He wants to change us. He wants to deliver us. And he's going to show his presence today in your life. But I want you to remember, pay attention to his voice. Honor his word when you don't feel his presence. And give him control. And he will honor your life. He will lift your life up. I want us to rise to a feet. People from the worship team can come up. I want you to close your eyes wherever you are standing right now. Before we will pray for the sick today. But before we do that, I want to ask if there is anybody in this room who has not given their lives to Jesus. Or maybe you got invited. Maybe you've been coming. But your life doesn't belong to Jesus. If something is to happen today, you will go straight to hell. You are not in a relationship with Jesus. And maybe as I was preaching, Holy Spirit was tugging your heart. And he was saying to you, you need to give your life to Jesus. Maybe you're in the balcony. Or maybe here. The greatest miracle is not healing of the sick. It's when a person gives his life to Jesus Christ. I want every eye closed and every head bound. If you are that person and you have walked away from the Lord. Or you are not walking with Jesus. You're completely, you're not a Christian. But today you want to give your life to Jesus. I want to give you that opportunity. I want to just raise up your hand. Just those people who want to give their lives to Jesus. Just slip up your hand and I'm going to pray with you. I'm going to trust that Jesus will come into your heart. Anybody else? Who say today I want to give my life to Jesus. If you have never given your life to Jesus, this is your day. Jesus will come into your heart. He will forgive you of your sin. And he will make you his. Thank you. Those of you who have your hands raised, I want you to quietly come out of your seats and I want you to come to the front. The brothers in the back, I want you to quietly come out of your seats and I want you to come. We're going to pray for you. Doesn't matter how young you are, how old you are.
