RICHARD: Well that was a long time ago, or yesterday, or last year, or 10 years ago; but what about right now? So every day, what I would encourage people to do, Larry.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
when you get up in the mornings, say, Holy Spirit, it’s a new day. I’m inviting
You to rise up out of my spirit.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
into my soul. Fill.
LARRY:
That’s good.
RICHARD:
ooh, I’m getting excited. Fill up my soul with the glory cloud of God.
LARRY:
Ooh!
RICHARD:
and manifest the Presence of God, through my body, so that I can be an
instrument of righteousness today on this planet.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
Everyday, renew my mind.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
with the mind of God convict and stabilize my emotions. Empower my will.
Liberate me from myself.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
so that my body can be a weapon.
LARRY:
Wow.
RICHARD:
of righteousness on this planet!
LARRY: (whacks desk)
RICHARD:
Every morning we should be being filled with the Spirit of God!
LARRY:
Wow.
RICHARD:
Hallelujah!
LARRY:
Well even as.
RICHARD:
Amen! [laughs]
LARRY:
you’re saying that, I feel, I feel led to share with whoever is watching. The
Lord. I feel like the Lord [claps] is saying He wants to anoint your soul; He
wants to anoint your soul.
RICHARD:
That’s good.
LARRY:
The Spirit of God lives in your spirit. we could take the whole time to teach
on that. but the Spirit lives inside of your spirit, in that deep inner man.
But you have a soul. a mind, will, and emotions. I believe the Holy Spirit
wants to so saturate your life; that your mind. what you’re thinking about;
your will. your desires; and your emotions. what you feel, are actually under
the influence of the Holy Spirit. And so many of the people that we admire, so
many of the people that we have seen go before us. our heroes, and the pioneers
of the faith; even. even in recent years, people like John G. Lake, or Smith
Wigglesworth, or Kathryn Kuhlman; these were ordinary people; trust me. But what
they did is they made a decision with their lives to live under the influence
of the Holy Spirit. So much so, it even actually saturated their bodies; soul
and body. And that’s the thing; I believe the Spirit of God Who lives inside of
you, He wants to rest upon you with power. Is that possible?
RICHARD:
Well absolutely! And it’s not only possible; the Bible says this is for all of.
Believers.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
for all time!
LARRY:
Yes; yes!
RICHARD:
And it’s not something just for some special holy people [laughing] back in the
Book of Acts;.
LARRY:
No.
RICHARD:
I mean read the stories of these Bible people; they [laughing]. they were
pretty bad!
LARRY:
They were [laughing] pretty bad!
RICHARD:
[Laughing] So bad, you know!
LARRY: Well you’re right! It says in the Book of Acts that This promise is for you, and your children[‘s children].
RICHARD:
Absolutely.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
And even before the Prophet Joel. Who’s, you know, pre-dating Acts.
LARRY:
Yes.
RICHARD:
said the same thing!
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
I will pour out My Spirit.
LARRY:
Yes.
RICHARD:
upon all flesh….
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
So God loves us so much, He wants to have a relationship with us, But He’s in
Heaven, and we’re down here.
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
So He brings Heaven down here by giving us His Holy Spirit.
LARRY:
Wow.
RICHARD:
Who brings the life, and power.
LARRY:
Mm!
RICHARD:
and authority of Jesus on the Throne of God, into our being right here, so that
He can live His overcoming life [tapping desk] through us.
LARRY:
Yes.
RICHARD:
right here. now. today!
LARRY:
Yeah.
RICHARD:
I’m getting excited, Larry!
LARRY:
Ooh, goodness, I feel like.
RICHARD:
[Laughing]
