00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.620
Not since the early church has there been such

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:08.279
excitement regarding the third person of the

00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:13.519
Trinity. Oh, I believe there was great excitement

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.179
after the Holy Spirit came. Jesus said he would

00:00:19.179 --> 00:00:25.030
come. Jesus said, if I go away. the holy spirit

00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:31.129
will come unto you i will send him unto you and

00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:37.369
when he came in that upper room when the hundred

00:00:37.369 --> 00:00:41.429
and twenty were filled with the holy spirit there

00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:47.630
began an excitement as those precious folks never

00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:52.899
dreamed was possible Oh, the excitement in that

00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:56.039
early church. And I can see them as they go out

00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.500
and say, Have ye received the Holy Spirit? The

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:04.840
Holy Spirit? We never dreamed that there was

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:09.200
a person like the Holy Spirit. Have you received

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.879
the Holy Spirit? Why, no one has ever told us

00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.180
about the Holy Spirit. The excitement. The early

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.939
Christians would go to their neighbors. would

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:24.760
go to their friends, would stop up on the street.

00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.719
Have you heard of this wonderful person, this

00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.099
glorious power that's being manifested in our

00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:39.400
midst? Have you received the Holy Spirit? I repeat,

00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:44.099
there has never been greater excitement regarding

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:48.780
the mighty third person of the Trinity. Never.

00:01:49.870 --> 00:01:56.870
since he is coming in the upper room. And today,

00:01:57.010 --> 00:02:01.849
as we're seeing the wonderful manifestation of

00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:06.609
the Holy Spirit, today is literally hundreds

00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:10.189
and hundreds are being filled with the Holy Spirit.

00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:17.330
Today is pouring out of himself upon all flesh.

00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:24.419
There is an expectancy, an excitement, that the

00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:29.360
church has never known since its beginning. And

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.539
how often recently I've heard folk talk about

00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:37.599
this wonderful new thing. It's new to them. It

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.719
may be new to you. Because you, too, have never

00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.199
been taught regarding this wonderful third person

00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.289
of Trinity. But remember something. He is not

00:02:49.289 --> 00:02:53.569
a new person, recently having come upon the horizon.

00:02:54.129 --> 00:02:59.569
He has been in existence since God the Father,

00:02:59.750 --> 00:03:06.189
since Jesus Christ the Son. This experience is

00:03:06.189 --> 00:03:14.789
only new to you. Now, what we need is some good

00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:18.969
old -fashioned... Teaching from the Word of God

00:03:18.969 --> 00:03:24.629
regarding this wonderful person. Regarding his

00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:30.349
personality. Regarding his activities. That is

00:03:30.349 --> 00:03:34.229
the one thing that has been so lacking in our

00:03:34.229 --> 00:03:39.710
churches. The teaching regarding this third person

00:03:39.710 --> 00:03:43.469
of Trinity. Somehow, whenever it has come to

00:03:43.469 --> 00:03:47.800
the things of the Holy Spirit, the manifestations

00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.219
of the Spirit. The average minister has stayed

00:03:52.219 --> 00:03:57.340
clear of it. Often when you've asked your pastor

00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:00.719
regarding this third person of the Trinity, he

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.879
has probably answered you that it is a mystery

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.879
and cannot be understood. Yet, when you read

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:17.180
the Bible, you'll see that There are three persons

00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:21.980
in the Trinity. Jesus himself made that very,

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:27.339
very clear. Each having a distinct personality.

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:36.360
A personality separate and apart from the other

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.439
two. The personality of Jesus is separate from

00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.089
the personality of God the Father. The personality

00:04:46.089 --> 00:04:50.509
of the Holy Spirit is separate from that of the

00:04:50.509 --> 00:04:55.850
Father or the Son. They're all three distinct

00:04:55.850 --> 00:05:00.370
persons. Everything that I'm going to say regarding

00:05:00.370 --> 00:05:02.290
this teaching of the Holy Spirit, I will give

00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:07.129
you scripture for. Therefore, get out your Bible.

00:05:07.209 --> 00:05:11.629
Don't get it secondhand. Our authority is the

00:05:11.629 --> 00:05:18.189
Word of God. And you and I need to get back again

00:05:18.189 --> 00:05:22.529
to the Bible. We're reading and studying everything

00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:25.829
else under God's heaven except the word of God.

00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:33.670
God's word is absolute authority. Therefore,

00:05:33.769 --> 00:05:35.490
turn, if you will, please, to the 14th chapter

00:05:35.490 --> 00:05:38.810
of John. Jesus himself is speaking of the Holy

00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:46.639
Spirit. And I will pray the Father. Already,

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.240
we have two persons. Jesus said, I will pray

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:59.779
the Father. We have Jesus Christ the Son, a person

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:04.699
separate and apart from the Father. I will pray

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:12.319
the Father, and he shall give you another comforter.

00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.360
that he may abide with you forever. Therefore,

00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:24.220
we see the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. He's spoken

00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:27.360
of here as the Comforter. And may I stop just

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:32.000
a minute? That word Comforter means Strengthener.

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:42.269
He is our glorious Strengthener. the Holy Spirit,

00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:48.149
a personality separate and apart from the Father.

00:06:49.129 --> 00:06:54.329
But also remember, he never works separate and

00:06:54.329 --> 00:06:58.110
apart from the Father, but works in conjunction

00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:02.750
with the Father and with Jesus Christ the Son.

00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:09.459
Three persons, each with a distinct personality,

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:15.339
working in conjunction one with the other, but

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:22.819
each with a very definite work. Perhaps I can

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.800
make this a little clearer to you, and I want

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.160
to make it just as clear to you as possible,

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.959
because this is being so misunderstood. I am

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
amazed when some of the questions come in, in

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.399
the mail. In spite of everything that I've tried

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.040
to do to teach you, everything that I've tried

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.939
to say to you, there's still those, and I guess

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:46.819
after all, only the Holy Spirit himself can teach

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:49.839
you these things. And I'd give anything in the

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.680
world if right now I could take every one of

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:58.819
you who have had such wrong teaching and just

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:01.500
turn you upside down and just shake you real

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:06.290
hard and shake. All preconceived ideas and notions.

00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:13.389
Out of your mind. Turn your right side up. And

00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:17.209
let the Holy Spirit be your teacher. So that

00:08:17.209 --> 00:08:20.269
you get your theology straight. And when you

00:08:20.269 --> 00:08:22.470
get it from him. And when you get it directly

00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:26.430
from the word of God. You can be dead sure. That

00:08:26.430 --> 00:08:31.550
you will have your theology straight. It isn't

00:08:31.550 --> 00:08:34.039
something that you read. from out of a book,

00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:38.440
someone else having been the author. It isn't

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:43.120
that you take it secondhand from someone else

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.620
who knows less about it than perhaps you do.

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:53.740
Go directly to the true source. And we need to

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:59.159
get back again to the Bible. There is only one

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:04.559
throne in heaven. now just one seated upon that

00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.539
throne is god almighty and i always like to think

00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:19.360
of him as being the big boss god almighty and

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:27.039
remember he is exactly that he will continue

00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:35.399
to be God Almighty forever and ever and ever.

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:43.840
Time will never change that. Men will never change

00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.600
that. Nothing will ever change the fact that

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:56.480
He's dear. God Almighty. Remember when Moses

00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:02.210
said, Who shall I say sent me? And he said, tell

00:10:02.210 --> 00:10:10.549
them. The great I am that I am has sent thee.

00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:18.210
The beginning to the end. The great creator.

00:10:18.909 --> 00:10:26.409
The one who has all power. The one all powerful.

00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:33.009
And he will for... ever remain. God Almighty.

00:10:33.409 --> 00:10:37.769
This very moment, he is seated upon his throne.

00:10:38.470 --> 00:10:43.009
At his right hand, serving in a different capacity

00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:51.009
entirely, is Jesus Christ, the Son. And Jesus

00:10:51.009 --> 00:10:56.730
Christ holds a position of great high priest,

00:10:56.970 --> 00:11:05.379
our mediator. your mediator, my mediator, the

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:15.480
mediator between man and an absolute holy and

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:25.580
powerful God into whose presence no man can come.

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:32.029
Know that. except he comes through Jesus Christ,

00:11:32.169 --> 00:11:36.269
his son. That's the reason Jesus is in position

00:11:36.269 --> 00:11:42.809
of mediator, of great high priest. The greatest

00:11:42.809 --> 00:11:47.289
bequest that was ever given to man was given

00:11:47.289 --> 00:11:50.669
by Jesus before he went away. He said, I'm going

00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:55.730
away now, but I'm going to leave you. That means

00:11:55.730 --> 00:12:04.840
you. That means me. His name to use. I have a

00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:11.519
hearing before the throne of God. You have a

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:17.659
hearing before the throne of God. And I do not

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:20.740
believe that our poor little puny minds have

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:30.009
the ability to conceive power of the absolute

00:12:30.009 --> 00:12:37.110
perfection of God Almighty. You and I cannot

00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:42.549
analyze God. It is impossible for us as created

00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:49.289
beings to have the capacity to analyze God. You

00:12:49.289 --> 00:12:52.990
can't do it. I know we've come to the day when

00:12:52.990 --> 00:12:56.480
we're trying to analyze everything. We've even

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.740
got to the place where we try to bring God down

00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.200
to man's level. We do that about everything.

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:06.860
We can accept anything unless we can analyze

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:10.860
it. But there's one person and one power you

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:12.759
can never analyze, and that's the power and the

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:18.399
person of Almighty God. He wouldn't be God if

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.820
we could analyze Him. He wouldn't be God Almighty.

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.799
If he were on the level with man. And if man

00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:38.480
was on the level with God. Watch it. There is

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:44.100
a third person. With a very definite personality.

00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:50.679
And that person is the Holy Spirit. And Jesus

00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.720
said, I will pray the Father. I'll ask the Father.

00:13:55.659 --> 00:14:00.679
and he will give you another comforter, that

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:06.159
he may abide with you forever, even the Spirit

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:11.559
of truth. Jesus here, in speaking of the Holy

00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:17.440
Spirit, calls him the Spirit of truth. There

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.399
is no falseness in the Holy Spirit, none whatsoever.

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:25.720
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth. and the

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:33.679
life and he the spirit of truth is the revealer

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:41.460
of real truth whom the world cannot receive why

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:47.200
because it seeth him not neither knoweth him

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:52.659
but ye know him for he dwelleth with you and

00:14:52.659 --> 00:15:00.519
shall be in you now just what does this mean

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.259
in the 17th verses of the 14th chapter of john

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:09.340
that the world can neither receive nor know him

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:16.820
what does it mean because she has no eye for

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:20.580
him she has no interest in him the world doesn't

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:23.820
have any interest in the holy spirit With all

00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:27.799
this wonderful excitement that literally thousands

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:32.860
are experiencing. In knowing, in becoming acquainted

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:37.480
with, in being filled with, in experiencing the

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.860
power of the third person of the Trinity, the

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:46.879
Holy Spirit. Yet, the world has no eye for him.

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:57.070
She has no interest in him. In fact, the world

00:15:57.070 --> 00:16:03.289
just sort of smiles and says, those people have

00:16:03.289 --> 00:16:09.090
gone off the deep end. They've flipped their

00:16:09.090 --> 00:16:13.230
top. They've gone off their rocker. But that's

00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:17.330
exactly what they said about those early Christians

00:16:17.330 --> 00:16:27.500
in the early church. Just exactly. And yet, the

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:30.559
greatest experience of your life outside of having

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.620
been born again is the wonderful experience in

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:41.320
the things of the Spirit. This wonderful experience

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.980
of being filled with the Holy Spirit. He is with

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:54.559
you if you've ever been born again. If you have

00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.679
had that wonderful experience of having been

00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:05.720
born again, you came in contact with this wonderful

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.779
third person of Trinity. Like a gentleman in

00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:13.359
calling me the other day. And he was a Jewish

00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.940
gentleman. And he said, Ms. Coleman, why is it

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:22.990
that when... Whenever I think about Jesus and

00:17:22.990 --> 00:17:26.329
this wonderful experience that I have had with

00:17:26.329 --> 00:17:31.829
him, I cry. And he said, I'm not emotional. And

00:17:31.829 --> 00:17:34.210
it isn't something that's emotional. But this

00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:41.170
wonderful light that has come within me. This

00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:46.170
glorious experience that I have had in coming

00:17:46.170 --> 00:17:50.240
face to face with the true Messiah. spiritual

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:55.920
experience. Even when I think about it, I weep.

00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.559
And I've never done before in my life. I am not

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:07.819
an emotional person. It's coming in contact with

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:14.440
one who is very tender. The tenderness of the

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:20.680
Holy Spirit. Oh, if only you and I could realize,

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:30.299
and you must get very well acquainted with this

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:34.880
personality. Sure, you've been filled with the

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.319
Spirit. You've come in contact with the Spirit.

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:44.039
But do you really know the person of the Holy

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:50.539
Spirit? So then... And a little later in our

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.640
heart -to -heart talks, I'm going to show you

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:58.180
that he's easily grieved. That's the reason,

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.880
in the word of God, he's likened unto the gentlest

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:13.779
of all birds. A dove. So easily grieved. He is

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:19.059
with you. You may never have been filled with

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:22.619
the Holy Spirit, but you have been born again.

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:27.160
And if you're listening to me, and you've been

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:32.880
born again, you have come in contact with the

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:40.259
Holy Spirit. And He is with you now. He is the

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:45.359
only one who can convict an individual of sin.

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:52.259
That's why the greatest tragedy that ever happened

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:58.940
to the organized church was when they began to

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:03.660
close their minds, their pulpits, their doors

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:08.839
to this mighty third person of trinity. Oh, in

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:14.180
the early church, he was so well received. They

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:18.069
opened their arms to him. They were expecting

00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:23.190
him. He was welcomed because they had just been

00:20:23.190 --> 00:20:25.609
in contact with Jesus and Jesus said he was coming

00:20:25.609 --> 00:20:30.789
and he came. They received him with great expectancy.

00:20:32.250 --> 00:20:37.269
But you know human nature. Jesus knew human nature.

00:20:39.390 --> 00:20:41.789
Always, whenever there's the presence of the

00:20:41.789 --> 00:20:44.839
Holy Spirit, there will be the manifestation

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:50.619
of the supernatural. Always. I repeat it. Wherever

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:58.400
you find the Holy Spirit, there will always be

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:05.720
the supernatural. Whenever you find the manifestations

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:10.819
of the Holy Spirit, it will always be the supernatural.

00:21:13.549 --> 00:21:18.769
And man being what man is and knowing human nature

00:21:18.769 --> 00:21:24.430
as we do. Soon there were those in the early

00:21:24.430 --> 00:21:29.630
church who said, let us not have so much demonstration.

00:21:31.650 --> 00:21:38.029
Let us just be a little more reserved. And slowly

00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:44.279
but surely, the Holy Spirit was... pushed aside,

00:21:44.819 --> 00:21:49.619
and after generations, was almost completely

00:21:49.619 --> 00:22:02.960
pushed out. Today, he is pouring out of himself

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.819
upon all flesh, for we're about to see the great

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:10.099
catching up, the rapture of the church. The Holy

00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:15.089
Spirit is about to leave. and the church is going

00:22:15.089 --> 00:22:21.369
out in great glory and all the fruits and the

00:22:21.369 --> 00:22:25.630
gifts of the spirit are being returned again

00:22:25.630 --> 00:22:33.890
to his church and again there is the greatest

00:22:33.890 --> 00:22:41.349
excitement regarding the holy spirit as great

00:22:41.950 --> 00:22:47.569
as when he first came to the early church. God

00:22:47.569 --> 00:22:47.910
bless you.
