God Chose You To Fill You With His Spirit

So, praise the Lord, brothers and sisters, I'm so happy to meet all of you. I'd like you to read John 14 and verse 18. As I have observed Christians in many lands for the last 60 years, I've seen that most of them are like spiritual orphans. It's like people who don't have a father and mother. Children find great security when they have a loving father and mother. Now in the Old Testament, we can say they were orphans because God was not their father. And these disciples to whom Jesus spoke had been under the old covenant all their life. So they were orphans. But they felt a lot of comfort when Jesus was with them. If there was a storm on the lake, if Jesus was in the boat, it was ok. So in any situation they faced, if they knew Jesus was right there, no problem. But now he was going away. And so he knew that they will feel like orphans. So he gave them a promise. That is the greatest promise that God has given to us. Once we become God's children. I will give you, verse 16, a helper, the Holy Spirit. Another helper he said. I have been your helper till now. I am going away. I am not going to leave you without a helper. And you know after Jesus died, for the next about 6 weeks, they were without a helper. They were all afraid and sitting inside a locked room. But once the helper, the Holy Spirit came, Acts chapter 2. They threw open the doors and they stood outside boldly and they travelled everywhere. That boldness and freedom did not gradually come into them over a period of 2 or 3 years. That boldness and freedom did not gradually come into them over a period of 2 or 3 days. It happened in a moment. And we must take that record seriously what is written in the scriptures. That was the result of the coming of the Holy Spirit and filling them. I believe that being forgiven of our sins and being filled with the Holy Spirit are the two most important things in the Christian life. And we must be absolutely sure of these two. And we know forgiveness of sins is not just once at the beginning of our Christian life. The same way being filled with the Spirit is not just once in our life. You read in the Acts of the Apostles that the Apostles were filled with the Spirit more than once. You read about that in Acts chapter 4. It is a continuous thing. And in Ephesians 5.18 it says we must be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. John 7.38 Jesus said it is like rivers of living water. The Holy Spirit can be pictured like a well of water like Jesus told the Samaritan woman. There is always water there. You can draw from it. That is for our own personal need. But then rivers. A river is very different from a well. You don't have to pump a river. It flows by the power of God. And Jesus said here in John 14 that when this Holy Spirit remains with you, you will not be orphaned. John 14. So my dear brothers and sisters let me ask you very lovingly a question. In some of the trials of life, you feel as if you don't have anybody to care for you. You are not sure whether your father in heaven is listening to you or not. It is like making a phone call and it doesn't look as if there is a connection or somebody is not answering at the other end. For many people it is like that in their relationship with God. So I want to encourage you today to ask God to free you from that. Say Lord I don't want to ever be like an orphan. Because I am not an orphan. Jesus came to make God my father. And we all know this verse in Romans 8. It says the Holy Spirit comes within and the first thing he does is Romans 8 verse 15. He cries out to God Abba Father. Father is a formal word. Abba is a very intimate word. You could call God by a formal word Father. That itself is a great thing. But our children call us Abba. That is an intimate word. Not a formal word like father. So here it says the Holy Spirit comes within and cries out Abba. My dear brothers and sisters. If you have received Jesus into your heart, the Holy Spirit has come in. You may not be filled with the Holy Spirit but he has come in. And he cries out Abba. I want to ask you. Do you find that cry in your heart when you look up to God? It is no use trying to teach you to say that. If you go to an orphan who has no father and mother And say close your eyes and pray Abba Abba Abba. That is deceiving that poor orphan. He doesn't have a father. And if I tell him to keep calling Abba he will feel secure. I am deceiving him because he doesn't have a father. But it is not like that with us. We have a father. The devil blinds us to that truth often. A lot of the problems we have in our life is because we are insecure like orphans. When we become perfectly secure in our relationship with God as a loving child to a loving father. There will be many changes in our life. We will not try to compete with other God's children to show that I am better than you. If you have any desire to show that you are better than some other child of God in any area. Whether you can pray better or preach better or anything. If you want to give a testimony to show what you are doing for God. Impress people. That all shows you are an orphan. You must say Lord deliver me from acting like an orphan. I don't have to impress anybody. I have a father and he is happy with me. What does it matter if I am not impressive to other people. I must say Lord I have no desire to show that I am better than anybody. I am loved by you and that brother is loved by you and that sister is loved by you. What do I gain by showing that I can do something better than somebody else. When you are free from the spirit of being an orphan. You will try to make other people do things better than you. That is the mark of real love. The bible says that God's love is more than the love of a mother for a newly born child. That is how much God loves us. We must always rejoice in that love. In my own life for many years I was very insecure. I was like an orphan and I know it. I am speaking from my own experience of many years. I had two big crises in my life. One was when I was 19 and a half and for the first time I was absolutely sure that I became a child of God. From the age of about 13 I think I was asking the Lord Jesus to come into my heart. Maybe 100 times or more than that in those 6 years. My father was a born again Christian who would send us to a good Sunday school. I knew the gospel from the time I was a young boy of 10 years old. Every Sunday we went to Sunday school. It was a good Sunday school where they taught you to receive Christ as your savior. I must have done that a hundred times. But I was never sure. Then I would ask the Lord to come again. Another public meeting again I would say Lord come into my heart. But I had one good habit. Every morning we got up my father said begin with at least a one minute prayer before you get out of bed. The only prayer I knew was what is called the Lord's prayer. Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. I prayed that every morning before getting out of bed. I didn't know what I was saying but I said it. I would read at least something in the bible everyday. Even before I was born again. See how good God is. God saw me like this struggling unsure unsure. Whenever I was in this unsure state, it was very difficult to stay away from sin. I liked to go to the cinemas. I would argue and fight with people. Those were not serious for me. All because I was an orphan. I was never sure that Christ had come into my heart. Then one day my daily reading. That was 62 years ago. I was reading John chapter 6. I came to verse 37. Where Jesus says John 6 verse 37. The one who comes to me I will definitely not cast out. I said Lord I have come to you at least 100 times or more. I felt the Lord saying to me from that verse. I did not cast you out. Anyone who comes to me. I will definitely not cast out. I don't know how but that day I just believed that word. It was like a ship dropping an anchor and it never moved after that. Till then I was just tossed about all the time. Now this is not some voice from heaven. In my life I have never heard a voice from heaven. I have heard the voice of God many times from the Bible. And this word was like a word to my heart. I will tell you the result of it. In the last 62 years. I have never for a single day doubted that Jesus accepted me. I have had many ups and downs in life. Repeated by sin. I know Jesus accepted me. I want all of you to have that assurance. These are difficult days in which we are living. I personally believe that this world wide pandemic is just one more sign of the soon coming of Jesus Christ. While we feel sad that so many people are suffering and dying. At the same time I say Lord if this is an indication of your coming, I am excited. And so I praise the Lord. But then after that I had another type of tossing about. I knew I was a child of God. But I never seemed to be able to overcome certain sins in my life. Particularly sins of the tongue and of the thought. In my married life and in my secular life. I was defeated. But I knew I was a child of God. Because when I committed, I would go to the Lord and say please forgive me. Every time I would say that. It's like some speck would get into my eye and I would go and wash it off. Because it would irritate my eye. So I thank God that whenever I sinned in my thoughts or with my tongue, it irritated my conscience and I would immediately confess it. I knew the blood of Jesus cleansed me. I had no doubt about it. And I was also willing to serve the Lord. I was willing to sacrifice and give money for the Lord's work. I even gave up my job to serve the Lord full time. I had never asked anybody for money in all my life. I never depended on people. But with all those good qualities, I was defeated by sin. And I knew the most important thing is not to give up your job and serve the Lord but to overcome sin. Only 1 out of 1000 believers God will call to give up their job. Or 1 in 5000 maybe. But God wants everybody to overcome sin. So I was so discouraged. I got so discouraged that I told the Lord I will stop doing full time Christian work because I am a hypocrite. I don't want to be a hypocrite. I said Lord if you don't do something for me, I will give up this and find some secular job. Because I don't want to preach something which is not true in my daily life. And so it was like that I prayed, I fasted and sought God. That went on for another number of years. 16 years after I was born again. Tossed about, tossed about, tossed about. Sometimes winning, mostly defeated. So finally when I came to the rock bottom of defeat in my life. One day the Lord filled me with the Holy Spirit. I will never forget it. Because it changed the direction of my life. So there were two days that changed my life. One was when the Lord gave me an assurance that I am a child of God. And the other was when I was sure that Jesus had filled me with His Holy Spirit. The first time I received the Holy Spirit. When I was born again. Then one day I was filled with the Holy Spirit. When we are born again, when you receive Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit. That is written very clearly in Romans 8 and verse 9. If you have received Christ into your heart, the Holy Spirit has come in. Romans 8 and 9 last part says, if you don't have the Holy Spirit, then you don't even belong to Christ. Romans 8 and 9 last part says, if you don't have the Holy Spirit, then you don't even belong to Christ. I want to say this very clearly. When you say Lord Jesus come into my heart, I sin. But forgive my sin. Jesus is in heaven. His Holy Spirit is here. And the Holy Spirit is the one who comes in when you invite Christ into your heart. That is so clear in Romans 8 verse 9 like 2 plus 2 is 4. It says in Ephesians 5 verse 18 Be filled with the Holy Spirit continuously. That is a command. See there are two commands in that verse. Please read carefully. Ephesians 5 verse 18 Do not get drunk with wine. That is command number one. Command number two is be filled with the Holy Spirit. So if you are drunk with wine, you are disobeying God and sinning. Same way if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, you are sinning. I want to tell you that. People haven't seen that seriously. Be filled with the Holy Spirit is not some type of suggestion but it is a command. It is absolutely important. And that is written to wonderful Christians in Ephesians. That is not written to unbelievers. An unbeliever cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit. Only a believer who has received the Holy Spirit can be filled with the Holy Spirit. So once I had the second experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit. I told you the first experience of being sure that I was forgiven, I stopped getting tossed about with doubt. But once the second experience came. I sought to walk in the light after that to be filled with the Holy Spirit continuously. I did not become perfect. I am not perfect even today. But my life started climbing, going up and up and up. Like climbing a mountain. Perfection is the top of the mountain. So when I say I am not perfect yet, I am saying I have not reached the top of the mountain. But I know that every year I am going higher. I am seeing Jesus more and more clearly. And I am getting more and more victory in my life. I am discovering new new areas of unchristlikeness that I need to be cleansed from. Many things. That is spiritual growth. Like a child goes from one class to another and learns new things. Always be learning something new about the life of Christ. And allow the Holy Spirit to make that real in our life. See 2 Corinthians 3 and verse 18. In verse 17 he is talking about the Holy Spirit as Lord in our life. 2 Corinthians 3 and verse 18. It says the mirror mentioned here is the word of God. You read that in James 1. God's word is like a mirror. So we look at the mirror. God's word. And unlike earthly mirrors where we see our own face. Here we see the glory of Jesus it says here. Verse 18 says as we read the word of God we see the glory of Jesus. That was one result of my being filled with the Holy Spirit. Before that I understood the doctrines of the Bible. That you only need a good brain. But to see the glory of Jesus I needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Now when I read the scriptures I see the glory of Jesus there. Every day when I read I say Lord I want to see your glory because I want to be like that. Don't read the scriptures now just to get messages or to get information. Here it says we look at the scriptures to see the glory of Jesus. That's the first thing the Holy Spirit does. Secondly it says he will change us into that same likeness in the same words. Not in one moment. It says from one degree of glory to another to another to another till we become perfect. My dear brothers and sisters. Don't be satisfied until this becomes real in your life. Then I assure you you will never react like an orphan when you face some problem. See if a little child in a home faces a problem. Immediate reaction is to go run to his father or mother and say daddy mummy please help me here. I cut my finger. I don't know why I am having this pain in my hand. You go immediately to the father or mother. He doesn't have to think about it. Child has to think about it. He immediately runs to the father or mother with the problem. That is the mark of a person who is not an orphan. If that child is an orphan he doesn't know where to run. Go to his friend or somebody else and don't know if they will help him. That's how many believers are. I want to ask you a direct question. When you suddenly face a problem. What is your first reaction? What do you think I am doing immediately? Do you think I have to go to daddy? Dad something happened now I don't know what to do about this. Then you are not an orphan. But if you run to man. I want to tell you whether you like it or not. You are an orphan. I want to deliver you from being an orphan. We live in a time of tremendous physical danger nowadays. Especially sickness and many other dangers. Financial difficulties because people are not able to go to work. Yet Jesus said if you seek God's kingdom first you don't have to worry about food and drink. Yet Jesus said if you seek God's kingdom first you don't have to worry about food and drink. I will take care of you. Look at the birds. Who feeds the birds? They don't store up food somewhere. God the father provides them. Jesus said that he will take care of you like that. Jesus said that he will take care of you like that. Even the father who clothes the flowers will clothe you. Those are real statements of Jesus. Teaching me that I must not be worried about food and clothing and my necessities in life. I am not saying that God will give us many luxuries. I am not saying that God will give us many luxuries. He did not teach us to pray give us this day our daily ice cream but give us this our daily bread. We need to live. He will definitely give it to us. You think God does not know if some sickness is coming into my body? Jesus said that even the hair on your head is numbered. I don't have much hair on my head but it's still very difficult to count all of it. It's impossible. But I know one thing. It's all counted by God. That means his care is so exact. Let me ask you a question. Which is most serious for you? To lose one hair from your head or to get sick? You know the answer. We never care about one hair falling from our head. But Jesus said that God knows even that. Please remember Matthew 10 verse 30 always. I have used that promise to comfort many believers. That statement of Jesus is more accurate than any certificate given to you by a bank or anybody else. Matthew 10 verse 30 The hairs of your head are all numbered. He knows the exact number. Why did Jesus take an example like that? To show that even the smallest little detail in your life God is interested in. Even a father cannot know the details of the hair in his children's head. Or even a mother. God's care is more than a father and mother. And you know the other promises. I never get tired of quoting them. Matthew 7 You know it well but it's good to hear it again. Matthew 7 verse 9 If your son asks for a loaf of bread will you give him a stone? If he asks for fish will you give him a snake? If you know how to give good gifts to your children how much more your heavenly father will give good gifts to those who ask him? Now you say brother Zach these are all things we have heard many times. These are all elementary truths. Now you say brother Zach these are all things we have heard many times. These are all elementary truths. But then why do you get worried? Why does anxiety come into your life? That proves that even these simple truths are not true in your life. That proves that even these simple truths are not true in your life. That's how Jesus taught. Jesus preached in a very different way in the new covenant. Have you read the old covenant preachers? Try and read Jeremiah and see how much you understand. Or try and read Hosea and Malachi and see how much you understand. Or Isaiah. And then after reading all that you are getting all confused in your mind. And then after reading all that you are getting all confused in your mind. Then come to the gospels and read Jesus. It's so different. Jesus is speaking to us like little children. I say thank you lord for the new covenant. I don't want to be a prophet like those old testament people. I want to be a servant like Jesus was. That's all. Just believe and accept what he says. No prophet in the old testament spoke like this. That's why they were all orphans. I don't want to offend you. Paul told the Corinthians I am not trying to shame you. But I want to ask you. Do you behave like a child of a heavenly father who owns this universe? Who cares for every little hair on your head? You may say there are many things that happen in my life and I don't know why god allows it. I also don't know. I am not saying we will get all knowledge. I am not saying we will be able to explain everything that god does. I will tell you one thing. He will never give you a bad gift if you ask him for a good one. He will never give you a bad gift if you ask him for a good one. You know sometimes a child doesn't want to go to school. You still force him to go to school. And your child may think my mother is so hard forcing me to go to school. I don't like school at all. I don't like school at all. But my parents are forcing me to go to school. But my parents are forcing me to go to school. Why do you force them? Why do you force them? I can think you are a very hard mother or father. I can think you are a very hard mother or father. Many years later when he has got a good job then he will understand why you force him. Many years later when he has got a good job then he will understand why you force him. When you force your child to take some bitter medicine which is good for the child. When you force your child to take some bitter medicine which is good for the child. The child can't understand but when he is healed of the sickness then he understands. The child can't understand but when he is healed of the sickness then he understands. What I am trying to say is we must believe in the same way that we are like children who don't understand why God takes us through some difficult situations. What I am trying to say is we must believe in the same way that we are like children who don't understand why God takes us through some difficult situations. You think you are the only one who prayed for healing from sickness and you were not healed? You think you are the only one who prayed for healing from sickness and you were not healed? Paul prayed long before you. Paul prayed long before you. There is a thorn in the flesh. There is a thorn in the flesh. That's how Paul felt in 2 Corinthians 12. He could have said, Father, earthly fathers know how to give good things to their children. Won't you give me this good gift? Remove this thorn. Can't you take away this thorn? If I was a child and I went to my father on earth to remove the thorn, he would remove it immediately. Then father could have asked, why don't you remove it? You're a more loving father. I'll tell you why, because God loves you more than your earthly father does. Your earthly father will just remove the thorn. Your heavenly father loves you more and keeps the thorn. He told Paul in verse 12, that is to keep you humble. Paul, I've blessed you so much that you're in danger of pride. Not to keep you humble, to keep on blessing you. But don't doubt, this is also a gift of my love. There are many things God does not explain to us. There are many things that have happened in my life. I don't understand why. No one thing today with absolute certainty. God does not allow a single small little thing to come into my life, which is not out of his infinite love. That's why I'm not in unrest and fear. But the same father of mine is your father too. But I've decided, I'm not going to live like an orphan anymore. And I want to tell you something else. John 15, the Lord also told his disciples. John 15 and verse 16, you did not choose me. Have you heard that from the Lord? Have you heard the Lord saying that to you? All of you. The Lord says to you, you did not choose me. I chose you. I know in my life, I told you, I accepted the Lord in July 1959. That was 62 years ago. But when did God choose me? That's written in Ephesians 1 and verse 4. When did God choose me? I chose the Lord 62 years ago. But the Lord chose me before he created the heaven and earth. When there were no angels. When there was only God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Way back in eternity. When only God existed. He chose me. I believe it. And that is why 62 years ago I chose him. If he had not chosen me, I would not have chosen him. Now this is difficult for us to understand. But there are many things in the world we cannot understand. I don't need to understand it. When you put on a switch and get light in your house. Can you explain how this electricity works and produces the light? I know a little bit about it, but I can't explain it. I use many things that I cannot explain. There are many many things in your home, in your kitchen that you use. You don't know how it all works inside. Things we use. You may drive a car, but you don't know how it all works. Ride a scooter, you don't know how it works. Use many things, we don't know how it works, but we know it So I know in the same way that God chose me before he created the heaven and the earth. And I picture it like this. The Lord has chosen me and decided to carry me across this swollen river to heaven. It's a river flowing like anything. He's not going to come halfway into that river and say, okay, I'm fed up of you. I'm not going to carry you anymore. I'm going to leave you here. Why do I say that? Because there's nothing that happens in the last 62 years that I've been a believer. I discovered it after doing it. The Lord knew it before he chose me. Okay, he knows. This child of mine accepted me in 1959. The Lord says, I know in 1960 he's going to do a few stupid things. In 1975 also he'll do many stupid things. In 2010, 2015 he's going to do many stupid things. And the angels say, Lord, are you still going to choose him? Yes, yes, I've chosen him. Even though you know he's going to do all these stupid things. I've chosen him. He is mine. That's what the Lord says. Isn't it wonderful to know that the Lord has chosen as his wife. I'm his wife, his bride. Now I want to ask you an honest question. Those of you who are married, in the last, from the time of your marriage, you've seen many stupid things that your wife did. All the stubbornness and disobedience and many many wrong things. If you knew all this before you married her, would you still marry her? That's a little difficult question to answer, right? You should say yes, because God saw you doing even more stupid things and chose you. You must love our wives like the Lord loves us. But this is a wonderful thing that God knew all the foolish things we would do and he still chose us. Or you know, let's leave aside a wife. We will never divorce our wife. That is a firm understood thing. Use another example. You're the manager of a factory. And you know that this worker is going to do so many stupid things in the next 20 years. Bring a lot of loss to your business. If you knew that beforehand, would you employ him? I'm sure you would not employ him. He's going to bring so much loss to me. Think of God choosing you like that. He knew beforehand what all things you would do. Stop for a moment and look back at your past life from now to the time you were born again. And think all the sins you committed. God knew that before he chose you. And he still chose you. Amazing love. Amazing grace. It's because I realized this that I said, Lord, I will serve you till the end of my life. I don't want anything more. You've already done more than enough for me. I want to spend my life serving you, devoted to you 100%. And that's what helps me to be patient with my fellow believers when they do stupid things. My children irritate me. My fellow believers are also like my children now. They irritate me. I'm not going to give up on them. Because my father never gave up on me. He chose me knowing everything about me. This is a great word in John 15-16. Have you heard it? He did not choose me. I chose you. That takes away the feeling of being an orphan. And this loving father has given each of us different jobs and different gifts. And if you find that he has given another brother more gifts than he has given you. Hey father, that's your wisdom. You did that. I accept it. I can tell you something that is true in my life today. I have zero jealousy against anybody in the whole world. I'm not jealous if somebody can do things better than me. If his home is better than mine. House is bigger than mine. If his children are more godly than mine. Praise the lord. Because my father in heaven has decided that. When you are an orphan, he is better. His children are doing better than my children. Those are all the marks of an orphan. You want your children to be the best. Why can't his children be better than yours? Why can't his children be more spiritual than yours? You know brothers and sisters, many problems get solved in our life when we stop becoming orphans. I have given you many reasons. I'll tell you one thing finally. The thing that will make all this real in your life is when you are filled with the holy spirit. Otherwise you will understand and agree to everything I say today. Next week you will forget it. But if you allow god to fill you with the holy spirit, your married life will change, your entire life will become heavenly. There is a song in English which says heaven came down and glory filled my soul. That is what the holy spirit does. He brings heaven into my heart. He brings heaven into my home. He brings heaven into my attitude towards other people. He brings heaven towards evil people. Somebody who speaks evil about me, I can have a heavenly attitude towards him. Somebody who tells lies about me, I can have a heavenly attitude towards him. Because god has given me the greatest gift of all, the holy spirit. Pray to god, ask him to fill you with the holy spirit. That is more important than even understanding what I spoke to you for the last one hour. You may forget all the verses and all the illustrations I gave now. But if the holy spirit fills you, the reality will be in your life. Remember these two things. You are not meant to be an orphan. And you did not choose Christ. Christ chose you. He chose you first. So I took a long time to speak about these two things. But I believe it will change your life if you are gripped by it. It delivered me from being discouraged. I am telling you the truth. If you ask me, Brother Zach, when was the last time you were discouraged about something? I can honestly say, I don't remember. It must have been many many many years ago. Gone from my life. What about condemning yourself? That took a little more time to go away from my life because I am that type of person who condemns myself frequently. That's also gone. I don't condemn myself. I say Lord, I don't expect to be perfect. By your grace I will be a little better everyday. That's perfect. I don't condemn myself. God does not want you to be discouraged. God doesn't want you to be anxious. He doesn't want you to compete with other believers to show that you are better than them. Rejoice when another brother is 10 times better than you. Rejoice if that sister is more spiritual than you. That's what the Holy Spirit teaches me. I am happy that brother is better than me. I am happy that things are going so well with him. Dear brothers, this is how Jesus wants us to live on this earth. So God determines your circumstances of your life and circumstances of my life. So God determines your circumstances of your life and circumstances of my life. I am not going to tell you what all God took me through in my life. But God never gives a person a ministry before taking him through many many different types of trials. I am not going to talk about what God took me through. I will tell you one thing. Every one of those things has worked for my good. You have that faith. Have I been through financial difficulty? Yes. Very great financial difficulty. Have I been through sickness? Yes. Sometimes there is some sickness which I thought I would never get healed. Have people taken me to court? To supreme court. Have I been called the devil in all types of bad names from other people? Yes. This is my education. I am a very happy man. Everything worked for my good. Tell you everything will work for your good. God bless you. If you did not get fully gripped by something I said, go to God and say Lord I am all confused by what brother Zack said today. He is not able to explain things clearly. Please Lord you explain to me what brother Zack cannot explain. He will explain it to you better than me. Ask God. The Holy Spirit is a wonderful teacher. He is very patient. If you say I didn't understand that, ok I will explain it again. A hundred times you say I didn't understand that, the Holy Spirit will say I will explain it to you. Don't get discouraged. The Holy Spirit has become such a wonderful friend to me. I can recommend him to all of you. My life has completely changed. Wherever I go this helper is coming with me. This helper Jesus said I have sent you this helper to be with you always. Oh brothers and sisters please seek God to be filled with the Holy Spirit. That's what you need more than anything else. God bless you all. Shall we pray? Prayer is not a very complicated thing. God doesn't want fancy words like a simple child. Tell the Lord what you need. Lord Jesus give me this helper. The Holy Spirit. Lord I am not very clever. I don't know much of the Bible. I am not a very spiritual person. I don't even seem to have a great desire to overcome sin. I fall so often. Please have mercy on me Lord. I feel sometimes I am the weakest of all of your children. But I know you love me. You chose me before the worlds were created. I believe it today. Give me the fullness of the Holy Spirit the same fullness that you gave to so many other children of yours. Just like you gave to those disciples on the day of Pentecost. I want that Lord. I don't want a cheap counterfeit. I want the real thing. And I believe you will do this for me. You said if you believe you will have it. I have heard this in Jesus name. Thank you Lord you heard me. Heavenly Father I pray for my dear brothers and sisters who are praying for this right now. Please give them an assurance that you have heard their prayer. Lord give them an assurance that you will answer that. I believe Lord you will do it. I pray in Jesus name. God bless you all brothers. Thank you.
