Welcome to the Jesus Image podcast.

Lately, I feel like God has been testing me because I don't know what I'm going to preach about until I literally take the pulpit.

He keeps me on my toes.

I was just praying, I don't want to be a professional Christian, right?

Oh, yep, here we go.

He's making me, yeah.

But I was praying this morning and just meditating on what the Lord wanted me to talk on today,

and I'm going to talk about total dependency

on the Holy Spirit, because we need the Holy Spirit so much. He is not a sprinkle on top of something.

He is a person. That means he has a personality. That means he has feelings. We know that we can

grieve him. We can quench him. And we don't want to be

ones that grieve the Holy Spirit. Amen? And we need him. And right now God is moving in such a

powerful way throughout the earth. And I remember telling Michael years ago, this is when really people didn't want to let

the Holy Spirit move in churches.

And I remember there were so many offers to Michael and I at the time.

Many people would say you have something to give, you have an amazing message of Jesus, but you have to

limit the Holy Spirit. Because if you let the Holy Spirit move the way you guys are used to,

the way you grew up, it's going to limit your reach. I remember grabbing Michael, not that he was

thinking about it, thank God. But I remember grabbing him, not that he was thinking about it, thank God.

But I remember grabbing him going, we can never do that.

It's who we are.

It's in our DNA.
