Receive the Holy Spirit John 12:10-11 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of John 12, 10, and 11. It
• 0:03
  says, has been for other Christians. We have
• 0:30
  received an incredible intervention by God. A
• 0:33
  powerful, even miraculous thing is being born
• 0:35
  again and receiving His Holy Spirit. It's enough
• 0:39
  to get us to the point of no return. Nothing
• 0:42
  can stop us, and we have a powerful witness.
• 0:44
  We were dead in our trespasses and sins, and
• 0:46
  now are alive in Christ. It's our personal experience.
• 0:50
  But if we know it, then... Nothing should be
• 0:53
  able to stop our testimony short of death, and
• 0:55
  when the enemy feels that pressure, the enemy
• 0:57
  is likely to consider that option. He has done
• 1:00
  it in the past, and he's likely to do it again,
• 1:02
  hence Colosseum deaths, etc. But see how the
• 1:05
  historical deaths of Christians just make Christianity
• 1:07
  grow? We have already won. Slow burn suffering
• 1:11
  is not really better than standing in martyrdom.
• 1:14
  If we are still here, we can win every day and
• 1:16
  be vocal about the amazing thing that God has
• 1:19
  done in us.
