[SPEAKER_02]: Acts chapter two, we're going to read my favorite for verses in all the Bible.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, it says this says when the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place.
[SPEAKER_02]: I may say one place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now aren't we all together in one place right now?
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we are.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so that's the first thing we can check off the list.
[SPEAKER_02]: Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven and it filled the whole house where they were staying.
[SPEAKER_02]: And tongues, like flames of fire that were divided appeared to them and rested on each one of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then they were all filled, everybody say, all filled.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so that's everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: So nobody was left out.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, now if somebody was left out, it would make it very clear that some of them were filled, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or part of them were filled.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the Bible says that all of them, amen?
[SPEAKER_02]: So turn to somebody and say that means you and I.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so all of them, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were all filled with a Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit gave them ability for speech.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're taking notes this morning, the title of today's message is live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody say it with me, say live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Father, we thank you, Lord, for your word.
[SPEAKER_02]: We thank you, Father God, for the revelation, the wisdom and knowledge of your Word today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lord, we're so grateful, Father, for what you're doing right now in this place.
[SPEAKER_02]: At this time, in this hour upon this earth, and Lord, we look forward with great expectation, knowing God that we're walking in the overflow today.
[SPEAKER_02]: In Jesus' name, everybody said,
[SPEAKER_02]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I want you to turn to your neighbor, full of boldness, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, get some boldness on you right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, make sure that they're alive and well and awake and can hear you.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, and I want you to tell them, say, neighbor, you and I, and everyone here today are about to live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, now for some of you that neighbor wasn't very responsive.
[SPEAKER_02]: They weren't very receiving or maybe very kind about what was being said.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want you to pick somebody else in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: Make eye contact with somebody and point to them right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, find somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, don't leave anybody out now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Make sure everybody's got somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Eric, you're coming right here to Torrella.
[SPEAKER_02]: You, Eric are going back there to know will.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Terry, I'm coming right here to you, brother.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, everybody's got somebody, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I want you to tell them, say neighbor, you and I, and everyone here today are about to live in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now somebody shout a min.
[SPEAKER_02]: And how many you are ready for the overflow?
[SPEAKER_02]: In other words, I'm not satisfied with just my cup being half filled.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not satisfied with my cup to fill to the top.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not in happy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not excited unless my cup is overflowing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: How many you believe that today, church?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's overflow season.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, say it's overflow season.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's time and it is the season of the abundance of the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether you're ready for it or not is irrelevant because this is the time and the season for an abundance of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amen?
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, we need it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Need it now more than ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: And how do you know that the Holy Ghost is not an option?
[SPEAKER_02]: Not an option.
[SPEAKER_02]: We make them an option.
[SPEAKER_02]: We tend in our church services or whatever it may be to make him optional.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, maybe it's maybe the Holy Spirit will show up today.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he does, okay, we'll let him.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he doesn't, oh, you know, oh, well.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: It should never be an oh, well.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's got to be here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or else, what are we here for?
[SPEAKER_02]: What are we doing it?
[SPEAKER_02]: We're doing it in our own strength and in our own might.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't work out that well.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for many, the Holy Spirit is optional, but we can't afford to make him optional.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we know that the word says it's the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't dismiss one of the three or two of the three or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, he is the father son in Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is three in one.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is a Cheyenne being three in one.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so we cannot neglect the gifts or the power or the anointing there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever it may be of the Holy Spirit, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I don't know about you, but I'm excited today that there is a church right here in Bedford, Texas, hello.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's radical enough to say he's not optional.
[SPEAKER_02]: The only spirit is not optional, not in this church.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not optional.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only that, but I know where we're at at this point of time, specifically in this church, but in the earth today, and really what I hear coming from within you, what we just experienced during worship, and all of that, what we've been experiencing lately in last Sunday, and all these things, really the past two months, I would say, of what I've been hearing coming out of you coming out of this place is more of God.
[SPEAKER_02]: more of his spirit, more of the fire of the Holy Ghost, amen, hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now in Acts chapter two, this isn't just a text and a scripture about what happened on Pinnocost.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of people will look at this scripture.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, maybe this is the scripture that you want to reference on Pinacost Sunday, one time a year, and all that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: But this scripture really has nothing to do with the fact that it was Pinacost.
[SPEAKER_02]: But more so everything to do with the fact that it was time for the Holy Ghost to show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was about what was activated and made available, therefore, to everyone
[SPEAKER_02]: That was in attendance and all that were to come.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this isn't a message about penicost, it's a message about the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Acts chapter two is not about penicost, it's about the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: People ask me all the time, well, what kind of church are you guys?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I get this all the time, well, what denomination are you a part of?
[SPEAKER_02]: No denomination.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now that denominations are bad, please hear me, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, denomination.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I tell them pretty much the same similar thing every single time, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's something along the lines of, well, we're a charismatic, pinacostal, you know, Holy Ghost church that doesn't just love Jesus, but loves the power of the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the midst of chasing God and going after the power of the Holy Ghost, we get to love each other.
[SPEAKER_02]: We get to become part of a family.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, my grandpa used to say, back in the day, they used to say, well, what kind of church is your church?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he would say to those folks you've heard this mention before, those have been around.
[SPEAKER_02]: Me, long enough, or was around him and his ministry.
[SPEAKER_02]: He'd say, well, we are a Bible believing, devil chasing, holy ghost believe in church, hallelujah, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I will say nothing's different for us today.
[SPEAKER_02]: We still believe in the Word of God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank God.
[SPEAKER_02]: We ain't out there believing something else.
[SPEAKER_02]: creating our own word or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we believe in the fullness of the gospel.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: The gospel of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: But also, we also, you know, will kick some devils to the curb if we've got to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we ain't afraid of no demon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, but we're also full of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, we're full of the Holy Ghost and fire.
[SPEAKER_02]: Woo!
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, having you love that fire of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the kind of fire that's making you a shout right now, the kind of fire that's getting you excited right now, that's putting a smile on your face this morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah, it's the fire of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now denominations and all that kind of thing are not bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: People are still getting saved and all those kind of things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now sometimes we got to save people from denominations, but that's the whole other thing, but you know, it's all good, it's all good, alright?
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of you get what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I believe in the full gospel of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: The full gospel of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: And within the full gospel of Jesus, that means that we have to believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, but we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and his demonstrational work.
[SPEAKER_02]: the demonstration work of the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we don't just have the Holy Spirit and, oh, that's nice and Holy Ghost goosebumps on Sunday, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's so much beyond that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We get to experience the demonstrations of His Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amen?
[SPEAKER_02]: So we get to walk in the anointing and the power of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when we do encounter somebody that is sick, we can lay our hands on them and the Bible says, they shall recover.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bible says we can step on the heads of a devil.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have the authority within us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the power of the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what good is the power of the Holy Spirit within you if you can't demonstrate His power?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I believe that's what the Lord would desire for us.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't just give you my spirit, but I want you to walk in my spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: be activated in my spirit, you know, and demonstrate the things of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know when you begin to say that your charismatic or pin-it-costal or, you know, Holy Ghost believe in or anything of that kind of sorts, people start acting funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just start acting funny, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people, they just start getting a little nervous.
[SPEAKER_02]: They start grabbing their keys in their purse, like, you know,
[SPEAKER_02]: All of a sudden they got to leave early because they have an appointment.
[SPEAKER_02]: They get a little nervous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of they're back and stiffen up a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, oh, I don't know about the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because for most, they want their quiet, little, safe country side church.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, where they can come in and have a good seat and just be loved by people.
[SPEAKER_02]: And hear the word, but maybe not stay awake for the word.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then boom, back out the door, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, they're ain't nothing wrong with the idea of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's some good old folk that just love that kind of church, and that's okay, praise God.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if I'm leaving here the same way I came in, something's off.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I'm leaving here filled with coffee and donuts, but I'm not filled with the Holy Ghost, something's off.
[SPEAKER_02]: So hear me, there isn't anything wrong with, you know, good old regular church or whatever you want to call it, but somewhere down the line, we need the super, super, excuse me, in our natural.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we need the supernatural things of God in our church services.
[SPEAKER_02]: We need the power of the Holy Spirit
[SPEAKER_02]: at full operation and at full work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't mean we forced the hand of the Holy Spirit, but it certainly means that if the Holy Spirit wants to move, we freely allow him to move.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're taking notes this morning, which I hope you are, you know that we are a note taken church.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I do it in my phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just my preference, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: I got my notes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got my notes from last Sunday about whole thing, Pastor DeVangere, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: But people probably thought, well, you passed their options.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sitting on their text and people.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I ain't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was filling my notes up with all kinds of goodies.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, because why about I want to be able to go back and reference those things?
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to be able to go back and replay it in my mind again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'm struggling with something I remember.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, that word right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that that can help in the midst of this struggle, and I can go back and reference that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you don't ever take notes, and you just sit there, you ain't gonna have that stuff to go back on.
[SPEAKER_02]: And say, well, my memory is sharper than a tack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, praise God it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: But when the attack is coming, and your memory ain't there,
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to want something to reference.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, that's enough about the note taken.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, because I don't want to step on any toes or, you know, make anybody feel better pressure you today.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just know that for me, I need to have my notes.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, anyways, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's three benefits about living in the overflow that I want you to understand and know today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Three benefits of living in the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: The number one is this is that the overflow pushes you to the next.
[SPEAKER_02]: The overflow will push you into the next.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's important to know and to understand
[SPEAKER_02]: That Jesus put a very strong emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: He put a very strong emphasis on the Holy Spirit's arrival and Him coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: He talked a lot about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was referenced a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if you think the Holy Spirit and Jesus for that matter was only talked about in the New Testament, you're wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because in the Old Testament, it was talked about many times.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is one that is coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is greater than I.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's a lot of places all throughout Scripture before the official arrival, if you will, of the Holy Spirit and Acts chapter two, there were many places where these things were forecasted if you will.
[SPEAKER_02]: There were four told of what's to come.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there was an expectation and there was a kind of something that was already set and stone of, hey, one of these days you better be on the lookout because there is something that's coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Before the Holy Spirit came, Jesus Himself He operated as the body of Christ in the flesh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember John chapter sixteen verse seven, it will be on the screen.
[SPEAKER_02]: It says, it says, well, nevertheless, I'm telling you the truth.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is for your benefit that I go away.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, this is Jesus talking.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if I don't go away, the counselor, which is who the Holy Spirit is, some of your versions say the advocate, the helper, whatever, will not come to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I go, I will send him to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, Jesus understood and put an emphasis and an importance on the fact that the Holy Spirit was coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he knew
[SPEAKER_02]: And hear me when I say this, don't take this the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_02]: He knew he had to get out of the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: He had to step aside because the Holy Spirit was coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was coming in full force and in full power.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Spirit wasn't gonna just show up and slowly creep in and make his presence known.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the Holy Spirit was to come, he was to come and he was gonna make known that he was here and he was present.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, that's why he came in like a violent rushing wind.
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a sound, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was loud.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very noticeable in the spiritual realm, but also in the physical.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Jesus understood the importance of the Holy Spirit coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he says, hey, if I don't go away right now, if I don't go be with my father, then the Holy Spirit will not come.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he said, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that they need the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I am gonna go away so that the Holy Spirit can come and begin to do the work that the Holy Spirit was sent to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so it's kind of like Jesus said tag here at Holy Ghost Because he knew that the Holy Ghost was gonna get us to the next round praise God
[SPEAKER_02]: And here me today church, we have stepped into a time in our living in the days of outpouring of overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the Lord has done a work in you, and the Lord has done a work within the earth, and he has now tapped on the shoulders of the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is taken over for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody shout Amen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Aren't you glad that you don't have to fight by yourself?
[SPEAKER_02]: Forget it if we got to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yikes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we don't have to fight this thing called life on our own.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we don't have to fight against the enemy on our own.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad that we are strengthened and motivated and courage empowered by the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: He says, I will fight your battles for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that comforting.
[SPEAKER_02]: promising you know that at the end of the day I actually don't have to be the one that raises my fists but the Holy Spirit comes in he says all right come on let's do this thing let's let's let's fight let's go to war I got you I have you covered that situation that you're so worried about don't you worry about it I've got it taken care of because I'm the Holy Ghost it's like wrestlers in a wrestling ring
[SPEAKER_02]: Do I have a WWE fans in here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Back in the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Back in the day when it was real.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, anyways.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we ain't gonna go there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't watch it because, you know, it's fake.
[SPEAKER_02]: the kids, the kids saw something on TV a couple weeks ago that it was playing or whatever in the house.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Geo was like, oh my god, he's got blood everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you got blood?
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, baby, I ain't blood.
[SPEAKER_02]: She says it catch up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said they chew on these pills and it pops this, you know, red liquid, you know, it's trying to explain all the stuff to her and you know, telling them, telling them it was fake, you know, they were worried that these people were getting hurt.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're not getting hurt, it's fake, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never been a fan of WWE or wrestling or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: As a matter of fact, when I was my kid's age, I wasn't even allowed to watch it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Was anybody like that, too?
[SPEAKER_02]: Your parents didn't allow you to watch it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, because it was the devil, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, anyways, one thing I do understand about wrestling is WWE specifically or whatever it may be.
[SPEAKER_02]: When one guy is just getting the snob beat out of him and he's got a partner
[SPEAKER_02]: He figures out a way to tag that guy's hand.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he may be down for the absolute count.
[SPEAKER_02]: And be up and bruised up and bloody up, not even be able to hardly move.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if he knows that if he can just get his hand to tap the hand to his partner, his partner's going to come in and do that very thing that was just done to him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think of the Holy Spirit,
[SPEAKER_02]: And what Jesus has worked is happening, I think of it that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're in a wrestling match.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to war against the devil and we're going to war against the situations and circumstances in our lives and all this kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the Holy Spirit comes in and he says, tag, I'm in.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he comes in and he takes over and he begins to fight on our behalf.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you something that's really encouraging for us today.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Ghost never loses.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, I said the Holy Ghost never loses.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got the title built.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he has never lost a battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Normal, he ever loses a battle on our behalf.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he is the reigning world champion.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: He cannot be defeated.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so if you've got that kind of partner on your side, if he always wins, what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: You always win.
[SPEAKER_02]: You should have shouted right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You should have stood up and clapped right there in that moment because you cannot lose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: You cannot lose.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got the victory power of Jesus within you because you got the Holy Ghost on your side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So sickness come my way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Financial birth come my way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Family issues come my way.
[SPEAKER_02]: But guess what at the end of the day I will win.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now, I will win.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it is to be more than a victorious.
[SPEAKER_02]: More than a victorious.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because of the work and the power of the Holy Spirit within us.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's in those moments just when you want to give up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just when you thought you lost the battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just when you thought that you wouldn't win, and that you couldn't be victorious any longer, the Holy Ghost jumps in the ring for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he says, tag on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tag I got you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tag I'm gonna take over.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tag I'm gonna win this thing for, I'm gonna finish this thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, somebody.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody shout, tag your it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So number one,
[SPEAKER_02]: At the overflow, does is that it pushes you to the next.
[SPEAKER_02]: The second thing that the overflow does is that the overflow completes.
[SPEAKER_02]: The overflow completes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Acts chapter two.
[SPEAKER_02]: I told you it's really my favorite.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the work of the Holy Spirit like when he shows up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that nobody was left out there in that upper room.
[SPEAKER_02]: Glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think about it this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even the janitor he was filled.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_02]: Even the ones, you know, they had servants back in those days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even the servants that were busy assisting them and bringing the food and cleaning things up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were all filled too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody was left out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the guy that was keeping guard outside of the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, can you imagine all of a sudden he hears this commotion up there and then boom, something hits him?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, I mean, I just love the fact that when you think about it, I mean, everybody got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the power of the Holy Spirit just began to really move and operate on each and every person.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a powerful thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what I love about this text is that it says, clearly, when the day, if I said the day, when the day of pinnacles had arrived, now this wasn't just any ordinary day.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as a matter of fact, it wasn't a pre-planned day.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a day when they said, today the Holy Spirit, everybody watch, is gonna show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They weren't planning for the Holy Spirit to show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't pencil in into their order of service that morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, at this time, the Holy Spirit's gonna be here.
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't do any of that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the day in the midst of a feast that was occurring, that they were all gathering together, and the Holy Ghost decided, now is the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just so happened to be on the day of pinnacles, but again, I don't want us to focus on the fact that it was pinnacles.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want us to focus on the fact that it was this particular day.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a day unlike any other.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a day when the Holy Spirit says, I've had enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going in, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait any longer.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going.
[SPEAKER_02]: And listen church, you can't play in the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't make arrangements for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't try to put him into your schedule or to shift things around based on the Holy Ghosts.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't do any of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I laugh all the time when people when churches will say, well, you know, March twenty first, we're going to have revival service.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, who told you that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who told you that there was gonna be a revival that takes place on March twenty first.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just put that day out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just said this is what's gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't play in the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if you wanna say on March twenty first we're having service and whatever happens happens and then the Holy Spirit shows up and it sends you into revival then glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: But when people say all the time, well this is what we're gonna do and then this is how the Holy Spirit's gonna move and all that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hush.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't plan him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if you try to plan him, he's going to come show up different than the way you planned.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to look and sound completely different.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so you won't ever hear me say something like, well, we're going to plan a revival.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or we're going to plan a move of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we'll have a worship night.
[SPEAKER_02]: And praise God, the worship night is gonna blow up, and I know the Holy Ghost is gonna show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I ain't saying, okay, you know, when we get to the third song, then okay, worship team, then that's when you're gonna step back, allow the Holy Spirit to be, are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm telling you, there's people that do that kind of thing out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's some funky stuff that happens in churches.
[SPEAKER_02]: okay and in conferences and you know all that kind of stuff we were joking about it last week with passive voluntary passage order we were sitting at the at the lunch table we were talking about you know Peter pump off and you know all these guys back in the day that used to have their ear pieces and you know all the kind of stuff and people would whisper into their ears you know that person over there sitting over there they got cancer and then all of a sudden the pastor would say you right there you've got cancer
[SPEAKER_02]: I got, and they'd freak out and it's like, no, that was not even the Holy Ghost, that was the devil.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's a lot of kind of stuff that happens in different places and all these kind of things, but you cannot play in the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the Holy Spirit wants to move and wants to work, he's just gonna do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you just gotta let him loose to do so.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just gotta let it happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I love about our worship team.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Spirit begins to move.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they just go with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Step outside of the song list, step outside of, oh, we're supposed to go to verse three next.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's whatever the Holy Spirit's doing, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we create kind of a structure, I don't wanna say structure because I don't like that word, but a skeleton, if you will, and the Holy Spirit fills it all up, all the in between.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the way I want my worship to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the way I want my church service to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't wanna come in, know that I'm singing songs three, four, and fifteen, and we're gonna stand there, and as soon as it's over, but that's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I want a move of the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: That way, if we want to go back into a song three times like we did today, then praise God, we're gonna do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And ain't nobody gonna stop nobody.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're tired of the music to just sit your blessed assurance down.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we're gonna keep on going until the Holy Spirit says so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, y'all are gonna love me for this one today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the Holy Spirit shows up, baby, you better move out of the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he's coming in hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he can't wait.
[SPEAKER_02]: He cannot wait for you to be ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, pastor, I'm just not ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had such a hard week and this morning I had such a hard time.
[SPEAKER_02]: He ain't waiting for you to get ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you don't show up ready, that's on you.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he ain't waiting because when he shows up and he says, it's time to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: You better know it's time to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why so many times you'll see people are, I mean, the Holy Spirit's really moving.
[SPEAKER_02]: And majority of the room is a really a moving width of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some people are like wondering, what is going on in here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Not that they don't have it or they don't, it's just that they missed out because they weren't ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I say all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've heard me say a million times.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Show up ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, start blasting the worship music on the way to church.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't wait till you get to church.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, start getting yourself ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, for what he wants to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have time for everybody to get ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you know how it is, if you got kids and all that, sometimes you don't have time to get yourself ready the way that you wanna get ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you just gotta get out the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, sometimes the clock is ticking and you got it, you got somewhere to be and you might not have time for that mascara today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well glory to God, I gotta be somewhere so I gotta go.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you gotta worry about your kids getting ready too, come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's like, you know, it's like this morning, Melissa goes and wakes up the kids, you know, ten minutes later, Melissa opens the door, are you all awake?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, because you got to worry about other humans beside yourself, you know, and you got all this stuff going on, but sometimes you just, you just got to be ready to go out the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the way with the Holy Ghost, when the Holy Ghost shows up, you just got to be ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: It all matter if you are, you know, got all dolled up today or not.
[SPEAKER_02]: It all matter if you put up on all your makeup and he starts moving on you and you feel like you need a cry and you're like, I'm not gonna cry because I put up a makeup today.
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta just let them!
[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta just let them!
[SPEAKER_02]: Glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when it says,
[SPEAKER_02]: When it says that this in Acts chapter two that the time had arrived, it means it says the time had fully come.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of your versions may say.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want you to put this on the screen here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, OK, well, what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: When the time had fully come because the time already was.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what does that even mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is the Greek word, some plero, which means to fill completely.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there was a completion of time up until this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Time hadn't been complete for the Holy Spirit to show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there had to be in an appointed time that was already predesignated by God the Father for the Holy Spirit to show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we now are at the time where it had fully come.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it adds fully, some plero.
[SPEAKER_02]: in the Greek.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when we hit that some plural moment, that was when that moment was in completion.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was at the moment when the Holy Spirit made his presence known, was in the moment of completion.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll say it like this church.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Spirit completed everything that was
[SPEAKER_02]: and all that God intended to do upon the earth.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Spirit completed.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a supernatural completion.
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me remind you today that when the Holy Ghost comes into your life, there is a simplero that takes place.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the Holy Spirit shows up on your behalf, the Holy Spirit just doesn't just come into help you feel better.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Holy Spirit doesn't just come in to give you the wisdom and knowledge that you may need in that moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the Holy Spirit comes in and he says, I'm simplifying this right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm completing this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am now coming and I'm stepping into this and I am completing this thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it will be filled completely.
[SPEAKER_02]: In other words, there's no voice.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no voids, there's no gaps, there's no holes in the work that the Holy Spirit does, but he does it completely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah, so may I say amen.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when the day of Pinnacos had fully come, it was the day of completion.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the day of completion, which in turn's tell me this that before the Holy Ghost,
[SPEAKER_02]: in your life, you know, you were saved and you got delivered and set free.
[SPEAKER_02]: You were called andointed by God and all that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then the Holy Spirit shows up in your life and he completes all those things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Says, I know you're saved.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you got delivered.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I know all of these things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I'm gonna come in and I'm gonna do a complete work.
[SPEAKER_02]: You say, well, Jesus is the one that does a complete work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he does, but remember Father Son Holy Spirit, three in one.
[SPEAKER_02]: in the work of the Holy Spirit is to complete that which Jesus has started in your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: He started a good work in you and the Bible says that he is faithful to finish that which he started.
[SPEAKER_02]: But how does he finish that?
[SPEAKER_02]: He finishes it by the help of his Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: to come in, to cover you, to help you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is why all throughout the Word.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is our helper, our comforer, our advocate.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is all of the things that we were missing up until that point.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he comes in and he completes it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He completes it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only all of that, but then he adds his supernatural element of all that God is and all that God can do and it falls upon you.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we walk in the things of God, but then all of a sudden the Holy Spirit comes apart of our lives.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now we have the supernatural elements that we didn't have before that were able to experience and walk in.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we can do things supernatural.
[SPEAKER_02]: We can walk in the supernatural things of God.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when we lay our hands on somebody and they get sick, it's not like, oh my God, he actually did that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, I know he would.
[SPEAKER_02]: because it's his supernatural power.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gave us that ability.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gave us that strength, that power to be able to do that, to walk in the supernatural.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just wanna prophesy and decrease something over your lives today, over the life of this church right now, if you'll just stretch your hands, Hallelujah, and just close your eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just declare this over you right now, in Jesus' name,
[SPEAKER_02]: over your life that you have officially stepped over into a season of overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Our prophetically speak that over your life right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: In every area in every way of your life you have stepped over into the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not just gonna be a half-filled or full up to the top, but it's gonna be an overflowing.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's an abundance that's coming over your life today in the name of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you believe that, say amen.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's time.
[SPEAKER_02]: So number one, the overflow pushes you to the next.
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two, the overflow completes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And number three, thank you Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this.
[SPEAKER_02]: The overflow can't be stopped.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once the Holy Spirit starts, he can't be stopped.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can't be stopped.
[SPEAKER_02]: The overflow will not stop in your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, the overflow will not stop in your life.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not gonna be just, oh, well, that was a nice season of overflow, but then it ended.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, in Jesus' name, I believe this for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I declare it over your life that the overflow is here and it ain't gonna stop and ain't gonna go nowhere, but in Jesus' name, you're gonna continue to be an overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah!
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Lord.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to say something that might ruffle your feathers and might rub you the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you just hear me out this morning and trust what the Lord is doing, you're going to be okay with this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is this church listen to me is that you don't need another prophecy about what's on the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need, you don't, you don't need to know from somebody else's mouth what's coming on the way when you already know.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you already since it you already know you've already been told those the Holy Ghost has already showed it to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need somebody else.
[SPEAKER_02]: Say well the Holy Spirit wants to do something but I haven't gotten confirmation that he wants to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need confirmation of his work.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need another pastor or preacher or prophet or anybody to tell you that God wants to do something for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: If God already said he wants to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't need someone to speak out what I can already sense in my spirit is brewing and taking place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there's no other option at this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no other option at this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's either the power of God is coming upon this earth in a greater measure than ever before or it's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm choosing the first option.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I believe that God is too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is too.
[SPEAKER_02]: God is not up there saying, oh, I poured my spirit upon the people, several times, and that's not gonna happen anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: I refrain from doing it again.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's not the God we serve.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is not the God we serve.
[SPEAKER_02]: We serve the God of the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, and if he can do it, they're in the upper room, all those years ago that my God, he can do it again right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if he can do it in revivals and days of old and praise God, he can do it again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hallelujah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what are you sitting around waiting for?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, everything has to look right for who?
[SPEAKER_02]: Not for the Holy Ghost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe for you, but not for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, glory to God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Church, let me just tell you something.
[SPEAKER_02]: The greatest influx of souls this earth has ever seen coming to the kingdom of God hasn't even happened yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it hasn't even started yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: The greatest outpouring of the presence in the spirit of God hasn't even taken place yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: The greatest revival that this earth has ever seen hasn't even transpired yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we are in the days of outpouring.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the Holy Spirit, let loose an Acts chapter two.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the devil has been trying since Acts chapter two to put a stop on what the Holy Spirit was sent here to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: But how do you know he can't do it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Nor will he ever be able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll never be able to stop the overflow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Acts chapter two of verses twelve through twenty one.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were all astounded in perplex worship team.
[SPEAKER_02]: Saying no one another, what could this be?
[SPEAKER_02]: But some sneered and said, they're full of new wine.
[SPEAKER_02]: In other words, they're drunk.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Peter stood up with the eleven raised his voice and proclaimed in the men of Judah and all he residents of Jerusalem.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me explain this to you and pay attention to my words.
[SPEAKER_02]: For these people are not drunk as you suppose.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's only nine o'clock in the morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's just put some practical turns behind this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was morning time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Now unless you are just an absolute drunk, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Alcoholic.
[SPEAKER_02]: You haven't even touched a drink yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, peers like, well, hold up way to everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, do you not even realize what time the day it is?
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're sitting here saying all these people are drunk.
[SPEAKER_02]: They drunk, they may have touched a drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something else has happened to him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next slide.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we went there, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: On the contrary, this is what was smoking through the profit jewel.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it will be in the last days, everybody say the last days.
[SPEAKER_02]: says God that I will pour out my spirit on all humanity.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will even pour out my spirit on my male and female slaves in those days and they will prophesy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will display wonders in the heaven above in the earth below.
[SPEAKER_02]: Blood and fire in a cloud of smoke.
[SPEAKER_02]: The sun will be turned to darkness in the moon to blood before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
