“Don’t Underestimate My Inner Man!” |
| |
|
| |
I Corinthians 13:11 |
| |
|
| |
| • |
|
I’ve seen it already! The thing God has for me, I’ve seen it already! You might not be able to see it, but it’s already mine! |
| • |
|
I dare you to keep on praising Him! Your blessing will show up! |
| • |
|
By the next time you see me, I know God’s gonna perform something in my life! |
| • |
|
Today, I’m going to talk about one of the most integral parts of a believer! It’s been discussed, interpreted and defined in so many ways, I can only trust It for clarity. Its ability - never ending; Its quality - second to none; failures - nonexistent; purpose - undeniable; and regardless to the many ways It’s been described, Its functions are guaranteed. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to some of you for the first time and present to others, ladies and gentlemen please give a warm round of applause for the Holy Ghost! I told you it was coming and I’m going to take my time and teach this! I’m gonna teach you the functions of the Holy Ghost! |
| • |
|
The most integral part of your relationship with Christ is the Holy Ghost. |
| • |
|
More than an emotional agent, a teacher, and a guide, the Holy Ghost is my friend! |
| • |
|
The Holy Ghost is a friend that covers me, gives me direction and grieves me when I move in the wrong direction. |
| |
|

Men! Let me help you! Women can’t stand a complaining man! You come in complaining; so she’s got to deal with you and your kids, when you are supposed to rely on your Holy Ghost and be the lord over your house! |
| • |
|
Women! Men can’t stand an oiled nagger! Don’t hit him at his lowest point! You just gonna dog him because you’ve already moved on to your new man! Don’t make up in your mind that you’re just gonna dog him, because people are crazy! You knew he was crazy when you met him! You came home and he was sitting on the porch at 3 a.m. in the morning eating popcorn singing “Always and Forever!” |
| • |
|
Do you remember in that relationship when things went sour and you looked in the mirror and “something” told you to get out of it? But you said to “something”, “No! It’s of God!” Then, do you remember, you rebuked “something”? But if it was of God, He would have given you something called peace with it! |

Acts 16: 16 – 19
|
| |
|
| |
| • |
|
All gifts are not of God! Even some of the ones in the church! (V.16) |
| • |
|
Even if they say all the right things… (V.17) |
| • |
|
Men, you’ve got to have the right purpose, you can’t be just moving with the lingo! |
| • |
|
The Holy Ghost is also a Soother! |
| • |
|
What happens when you are confronted with what you are not prepared for? |
| • |
|
The Holy Ghost confirms what’s already there. |
| • |
|
It’s not over until God says it’s over and you need to hold on to what God said to you! He’s already placed a Comforter there to confirm what He’s already shown you! |
| • |
|
This is my season! What ever I decree shall come forth, in the name of Jesus! |
| • |
|
I’m not crazy, I’m optimistic! I’ve seen some things in the wee hours of the morning when everybody else was sleeping! You need to thank Him for divine visitation! |
| • |
|
The Spirit bears witness to my witness! If it lives on the inside of you, you don’t have to wait on your neighbor to get happy! |
| • |
|
You ever been around those that talk about service and just want to be seen, but when it’s time for service they’re nowhere to be seen? (V.18) |
| • |
|
What if you could take a moment and pull that person aside, that you know has been lying on you, and be real nice to them and say, “Betsy, can I talk to you for a moment? And I don’t mean to disrespect you; I’m not talking to you right now. Now spirit! In the name of Jesus…” (V.18) |
| • |
|
Stop rebuking your children and rebuke that spirit that’s in them! It’s a spirit! |
|
| |
|
| |
Acts 20: 22 – 24 |
| |
|
| |
| • |
|
The Holy Ghost is a Keeper! What is the component that keeps you? The Holy Ghost! Because had you had your way, you might be doing 20 to life right now! |
| • |
|
Lord, I thank You for moving in me in that situation, because I may have taken matters into my own hands! |
| • |
|
V.22 – “Here I go bound, although I know something might happen to me!” Where did that unction come from? What told him something might happen? It had to be the Holy Ghost! That same Holy Ghost that told you not to go there, don’t do that, wait, hold on! He’s speaking to you clearly; you hear Him! Don’t ignore it! Listen to Him! He’s telling you what to do, how to handle that situation! |
| • |
|
Bind/bound comes from the Hebrew word, “chabash”, which means to wrap firmly. |
|
| |
|
| |
| • |
|
The Holy Ghost it is bound to you for quality decision-making. Whatever you do, don’t leave Jesus out! You were oiled on purpose! |
| • |
|
It shall be! I dare you to hold fast! |
| • |
|
For every one of you that’s been deceived and dogged, let me be your big cousin for a moment; God is not a man that He should lie! He cannot lie! |
| • |
|
What ever confronts you that tries to knock you out of the will of God, look at it and let it know, it’s not your will, it’s God’s will and you’re on assignment! |
