This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

All right.

Could I have that chair there for a minute?

Thank you, Lord. I want to give you a few scriptures. I'm going to sit today just because it just kind of seems to fit where we're going to go together this morning.

Before I go there, I want to give you a few scriptures in line with the Holy Spirit.

Say this out loud.

The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to me.

This is his chief objective. All right. Say this out loud, according to Romans

chapter 8. God's desire is to conform me into the image of his son.

That is God's goal.

You got it.

Say this, the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to my heart, to my mind, to my body,

and makes me more like Jesus all right you can stop repeating me or this will take twice as long joking it's awesome before God's desire is to put us on platforms

and use us it is his desire to make us like his son. Because

he loves his son and his son is perfect and there is no one like his son. So this is the Lord's chief objective. When you get this, it makes it much easier to

endure trials. Did you know long suffering is valuable to the Lord? Who here knows what

long suffering is? It means to suffer a long time. The Lord can use it. I said the Lord

can use it. It is actually a characteristic of the Lord. Calvary was not a quick process. Neither was

the whipping post, neither was the mockery, neither was Pilate's court, neither was Herod's court,

neither was the night in prison in Caiaphas's dungeon. All of these were slow drips,

and forging the character of the Lord in us is a slow drip process. It is the Holy Spirit through the Scriptures

and through fellowshiping with each other
