Well, hey there, welcome. Kevin Tips here, and this is the Upper Room Dallas podcast. I'm so glad

that you popped on this week to give it a listen. In this message, I share from 1st Thessalonians

chapter 4, where we're told that this is the will of God for us, that we be sanctified. Ah,

sanctification is this beautiful and at times very costly lifelong journey of yielding to the

work of the spirit of God in and through our lives so that we're not just a people who experience

the presence of God but we're a people who are ever growing in our expression of God in all areas of our life,

where we reflect His holiness, His purity, His power, His character, his nature, in every area of our life.

I'm starting to pray for you as you listen, that you would hear from Holy Spirit yourself.

So, Father, I thank you for the one listening.

I ask for a spirit of Revelation, Jesus, that you would instruct them in truth,

give them ears to hear, hearts to receive, that they would receive not only your perspective

and assessment, but also your hope and delight in them and where they are

in their journey. So bless them, Lord. Enjoy the message.

What I'm feeling like the Lord's wanting to do is to encourage and equip us to not just sing the songs we've been singing,

but to yield and cooperate as that song is unfolding.

I want to encourage you something this evening.

You guys are kind of already doing it.

And I love it.

It's not so much a cultural, charismatic thing.

Have you ever eaten something really delicious?

Yes.

Me too.
