The Lord Hears Us — Shane Idleman

Cornelius, Peter, and the Lord Who Hears Prayer

Acts 10 30 the message this morning is the Lord hear us. The Lord hear us. Acts 10 30 and I wanted to give a big backdrop of where we were and how we got here. But let me just tell you this in a nutshell.

Cornelius an angel appears to Cornelius. He's he's seeking God. He's fasting. He's fearing God and he's seeking God and then Peter has a vision. So Cornelius, he's an angel. Peter has a vision and God's gonna bring them together to lead this family to the Lord.

Acts 10 30 so so Cornelius said four days ago I was fasting until this hour and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house and behold a man stood me stood before me in bright clothing and said Cornelius your prayers have been heard and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.

Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon a tanner by the sea. When he comes he will speak to you. So I sent to you immediately and you have done well to come now.

Therefore we are all present before God to hear all these things Commanded you by God. So Peter comes into this house. Cornelius gives him a backdrop of the angel and Peter. Why are you here? We're anxious to hear what you have to say to us, but I want to stop here for a minute and Christian disciplines help us hear from God and I don't want to overlook this.

Fasting and Prayer as Christian Disciplines

I mentioned it briefly, but Cornelius was fasting and on that note I do want to recommend a really good book a hunger for God by John Piper on this area of fasting and prayer what it Looks like why do we fast is in a New Testament discipline?

I thought it was an Old Testament thing. No, it's very relevant very new and I will submit to you that when you fast and starve the flesh you can hear better from God. It's a spiritual discipline that is often overlooked and many people say that's an Old Testament discipline.

That's Old Testament as they put the double-double in their mouth. Of course, it's an Old Testament discipline because we don't like it. So it's very applicable today. Also, he said here all the things commanded by God.

Here all the things commanded by God. So if Peter's going to portray the gospel correctly He's got to give Cornelius his family all of the truth. Not some of the truth all of the truth and it was interesting when I spoke many of you know at the debate Against the atheists at the college recently.

I Was able to give that last 10 minutes on the gospel. There were atheists the satanic group that got up and left different religions different Organizations. Muslim Hindu were there and they all heard the gospel now I had and I knew that was going to be a different audience and I had a choice.

Do I make Christianity palatable or powerful? Do I make it taste good or do I make it powerful? Do I make it easy or do I make it narrow and that's when it comes to the truth? We have to remember that we present the whole truth.

That's why I like Mike put up here right here on this I preach the word be ready in season and out of season the pre the word the Totality of the word and that's what Peter was going to do. So Peter preaches to Cornelius his household verse 34 then Peter opened up his mouth.

You have to do that right to preach to tell people you have to open up your mouth. And also this is interesting as you know, I've talked about before the truth really gets people upset. Doesn't it they they hear things.

They don't want to hear. I had a privilege of we had a large memorial service here yesterday. And about 12 people got up and left as I was presenting the gospel. I don't want to hear that part of this or I just want you know to pay my respects.

And why is that because that truth does something in our hearts and it convicts us and God wants to draw us closer to him. So then Peter opened up his mouth and he said in truth, I perceived that God shows no partiality.

The Gospel for Every Nation

What was happening is the Jews thought that Christ was just for the Jewish people. He wasn't. Jesus wasn't for anybody else, but God showed Peter in this vision not to call things common. Which God has cleaned which God has has has saved the Gentiles.

He's brought salvation to the Gentiles and the Jews so there's no partiality and that's good to remember with God. That God is no respecter of persons and sometimes we think why I'm in America and God does this and he puts me way up.

Here and others down here though. There's no partiality when it comes to God as a matter of fact when we get to heaven. He's not going to say what what denomination were you what church was that a Westside?

I have them really high up here on this list. It's it's all the blood all the blood of Christ, that's how we stand before God. So Peter began to open his mouth in truth. I perceived that God shows no partiality.

But in every nation now, this is going to be a controversial Scripture. Think about this think about what Peter is saying in every nation. Everywhere on the planet whoever fears God and works. Righteousness is accepted by God.

Now that sounds just face value sounds like well if I fear God and I'm a good person doing good things God accepts me. Now let's back up a little bit. Romans 2 12. Paul said this to the church in Rome in Rome for as many as have sinned without Without the law that means all the world without the law Will also perish without the law and as many as have sinned in the law the Jewish people.

They will be judged by the same law that they are disobeying. So that's what he's saying. Those will be judged outside the law. Those will be judged who know the law for not the hearers of the law are just in God's sight.

But the doers of the law will be justified. But we know that we're not saved by works that our righteousness is but filthy racks. So what is Paul talking about? Well, I could spend the whole sermon here.

But I'm gonna try to just unpack the important parts for the hearers of the law are not just in God's sight. But the doers of God's law, he's talking about the Old Testament Saints as well. Abraham. God accounted it to him.

Righteousness God. Abraham was right before God because Abraham believed in God. Noah Believed in God. Moses believed in God. There's a God. I'm not him God. I believe in you and because of that I fear you and I there's a change in my heart.

I want to work righteousness and this this whole this is a whole topic of imputation. Imputation is an accounting term. The sin is imputed to us because of Adam. Christ dies on the Christ cross and his imputed righteousness.

His right standing before God is now imputed to us and covers the sin of Adam. So again, this is a deep theological mystery many people many depending on what denomination you're from. They will look at this a different way, but we know that we are saved through faith in Christ in Christ alone but our Righteousness or our lifestyle our works are is the fruit.

It's a byproduct of our belief in God. And then Paul goes on to say for when Gentiles Who do not have the law? So this is about all those people. What about all those people who've never heard the gospel out in Africa or India?

What about all these people? That's not a fair loving God. You you you you just say just those who ever hear about Jesus. Well for when the Gentiles who do not have the law, they don't know what's they don't have the scriptures by nature.

By nature do the things that are in the law. That's interesting by nature meaning they do the things in the law, I'm not going to steal my neighbor's chicken. I'm not gonna steal my neighbor's wife. I'm not gonna set his house on fire.

I know these things because that's the inner alarm clock of the Holy Spirit going. And he's convicting he's showing. I believe that God's law is written on our heart that the conviction is there. We know right from wrong who shows.

Although having the law are a lot to themselves who show the work of the law written in their hearts their conscience. Also bearing witness. I know this is wrong and between themselves their thoughts accusing them or either Excusing them in the day.

God will judge the secrets of men's hearts by Jesus Christ. According to our gospel. So summing that up and because I can't sit here and unpack Romans for a while. It's this men are held responsible. Men women all of us are held responsible.

Even those who have never heard the gospel have a witness. The witness is inside. Bearing witness to a creator. Romans 1 if we had time to go there for his invisible attributes are clearly seen so that we are without excuse because we actually Suppress the truth like a basketball put that basketball under a swimming pool water and try to do that.

Have you ever got hit in the head with it? So that's what we do with the truth. We suppress it and we suppress it, but there's no excuse because we have the inner inner Conviction that we are not right with God and we are held responsible for what we do with that.

Even John MacArthur would say if a person will respond to the revelation He has God will provide some means for that person to hear the gospel. If a person responds to the plea to the Facts that there's a creator if the person responds God will like Cornelius answer that prayer of response.

The Lord will hear your plea. That's why when it doesn't I'm not cold or callous. But when people say well, what about all those people that haven't heard the gospel? Yes. Let's get the message to them.

Let's get the gospel out to them. Let's bring missionaries, but they have the inner conviction of the spirit working in their heart convicting them of righteousness. And convicting them of the judgment that is to come so they have an internal think about the people.

It's it's like you make it hard to go to hell. It's really hard to go to hell because you fight conviction your entire life your entire life. You're miserable. You're fighting. Talk to atheists. They're not happy.

They are not happy individuals and they're Conviction and they're fighting the conviction. Here's the Word of God. They hear the Word of God. I don't want to hear a word of God. There's that loud bald guy in Leona Valley I don't want to hear him anymore and their conviction family members.

You got to read this. I don't want to hear this. Here's this article. You got to check it out. I don't want to read this article. Here's this book. You got to check out billboards. There's a creator you walk up you outside NASA new discoveries of this and there's it's everywhere everywhere.

So people are without excuse. There's no excuse. I mean if you can explain how people can come from nothing and Babies are born and all this just happens out of random mutation. It's impossible. There's no excuse for denying that there is a creator.

Human Responsibility, Divine Sovereignty, and Repentance

Now, of course, I've talked about this but it fits the sermon that the two sides on this it's really about pursuit and choice and I don't even know if I want to go into this because I've talked about the two different sides before and we're limited on time.

But it's the whole point of can here's where the argument is. Can man respond to that conviction? Can man respond to that conviction that he has? Arminianism. This side man cannot respond. He can't respond.

He's dead. How can a corpse respond to anything Calvinism and You have those two that's why there's a divide in the camp in the in the within the Christian community man can respond man can't respond unless the Holy Spirit it quickens him the actually the order of salvation is different to.

This side would believe that the order of salvation is faith belief repentance. This side would believe that the Holy Spirit comes and indwells a person then they can have faith and repent and believe because the Holy Spirit Is within them convicting them to do that.

They can't do that without the Holy Spirit. So are they already saved before them? So you that's why people get big arguments. I get emails a lot that people shoot me down. They don't like that. I can't take a strong stance on one side or the other but I just like what the Bible says.

We are held accountable. I'm gonna preach the gospel. You better repent God sovereign keeps it simple, right? I mean keeps it really simple. I Actually, I don't know if I've told you this before but I was reading Martin Luther's book on the bondage to the will He wrote against plagianism that says actually you're not a you're not a you're not born a sinner.

You're you're you're the little babies are good little babies and it's a product of their environment. I Just kind of threw that book down Lord. I don't understand this. I Mean if you're if you're sovereign in regard to you will save whoever you want to save.

I don't even have to get out of bed. I Don't have to preach the gospel. I'll do it. I guess you command me. I mean, but what I mean, there's no passion. Right. I mean if it doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter what I do.

God's elect will come to saving faith. We might as well close down the church. Think about that, right? But when I read the Bible gospel Paul pleading to King Agrippa King, oh god I wish you would turn to Christ Jesus.

You were not willing Jesus is crying. He's crying. Oh Jerusalem you're going to be devoured in 8070 when Titus comes in and he ransacks this place. You missed your opportunity. You were not willing you stiff-necked people.

You denied me that seems pretty passionate. That's a passionate plea to turn to God. Turn to God. But both sides do agree that without the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. Nobody will come to know God.

Nobody and I agree with that without the Holy Spirit going. Open the door. Open the door without that Man would not come to saving faith. John 6 for no one can come to the father. Jesus said nobody can come to me unless the father.

What? Draws him this side would translate that word Helco drag him. This side would translate the word Helco in the Greek as a divine impulse that we can respond to or not. See you got two sides here.

What about the other verse the natural man. 1st Corinthians 2 14 the natural man does not Receive the natural man does not receive so this side saying the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit.

They are foolishness to him. They can't. This site says the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit. That word is Dekomai. Dekomai in the Greek it means you ready for this. He does not welcome or accept.

So, although I don't welcome or accept visitors knocking on my door at 1 a .m. At my house. That doesn't mean I can't get up and open the door and let them in even though I don't welcome so see how you can look at things to two different ways and.

Really and the majority of the books I read John Piper's and others are on this side. You know I I like both sides and the the reformed thought Calvinism came actually out of or against Roman Catholicism.

When it works, you know penance all these works works works works works. This came out against that and said no we're not relying on the works. It's by it's it's a five sola scriptura sola Gracio all these by grace alone through faith alone through Christ alone through the work of you know The Holy Spirit alone and and they came up with these against works works works works works.

So if you understand the school through school to schools of thought you can see they both come from from from scriptural course. But I like to take the middle ground and believe that both I've trust God.

He's sovereign. Thank God for that. But people are held responsible and it's hard for me if I tell. If I get mad at it, let's say there's a new baby born right there's maybe dedicated today two months old.

If I tell that baby. You're going to be punished unless you get up and walk right now. That baby's not perfect. That baby's not even able to perform what's being asked. So it's not right to punish a Baby, it can't perform what?

He's being asked so that's one of my issues with this side is if man can't repent and believe. But he's called to repent and believe and then he's punished because he can't repent and believe that doesn't seem like the heart of God.

It doesn't seem like that. Because you if God's saying you must do this that tells me a person can do that or else He wouldn't command it. However, this is the debate that's been going on for thousands of years 2 ,000 years.

Maybe early church fathers even it began with Augustine st. Augustine and I think it was 400 AD believed actually in free will and. Then later he believed on this side and then as a result, he wrote a book I have I like to read sometimes.

It's called the retractions. He looked back on his life and said I'm retracting this statement and this statement and this statement in this debt statement. So I always remember that Shane be careful.

You don't want to go back and retract Everything so on things that are that are not real that the Christian community is divided godly men are divided. I just want to walk humbly between them and try to glean from both.

Jesus Christ as Lord of All

So that was what what what was happening with Cornelius that Cornelius was seeking him. He was responding to the revelation that was given to him. Then verse 36 the word which God sent to the children of Israel preaching through Jesus Christ.

He is Lord of all so he's telling Cornelius his family listen Cornelius. You heard the truth Jesus Christ is Lord of all and I don't want to skip to the next verse because I want to remind you what the word Lord means someone having power and authority and influence if you confess with your mouth that Christ is Lord that he has authority and influence that he's governed your life that he saved you you will be saved.

That's what it means lordship. What about flipping? Sue every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord so this is what you're going to run into if you think he's just a good teacher.

He if he's just I like he was a good guy. Gosh, if we just follow his teachings, but I can't take on the whole God stuff. Then you are not in the right relationship with God. He is the Lord Jesus Christ scriptures clear.

That word, you know verse 37 that word, you know Cornelius, you know. It was proclaimed throughout all Judea and began from Galilee after the baptism, which John preached. So, I don't know the tone of Peter's voice.

Maybe he wasn't being like I'm being but he's at Cornelius, you know, here's the truth. It was preached throughout all Judea 30 33 years. Jesus walked. He talked he healed, you know this. This is after the baptism of John.

John the Baptist, Repentance, and the Coming Christ

Well, what is he talking about now? Why did he bring that in because this is interesting. John the Baptist was foretold in Scripture that there would be a forerunner of Christ and Boy, this would be another interesting sermon.

John the Baptist you have the last book in the Old Testament Malachi. They don't know exactly when it was written. Let's say 400 450 BC. Then you have nothing from God. Nothing from God for 400 years.

Can you imagine that not hearing from God from your prophets from anything for 400 years? He just rebuked the nation of Israel for their idolatry their wicked leaders and their pagan marriages. That's why Malachi said I changed not he the Lord told Malachi.

I changed not. I hate divorce. I hate even the thought of divorce. And then he ends the book of Malachi saying that somebody will come in the spirit of Elisha. And they will turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the children to their fathers.

400 years of silence then John the Baptist comes on the scene and says repent. For the kingdom of heaven is at hand repent and you better. I think that I don't remember who said it. But you better commit your head to heaven if you preach repentance 20 years in the wilderness a ministry that's probably six months long and then he's beheaded.

But he was the forerunner of Christ. He preached he baptized Jesus. Verse 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with Nazareth. Sorry with the Holy Spirit and with power so God Anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and with power they go together.

The Holy Spirit’s Power and the Mission of Jesus

Okay, you can't have the Holy Spirit and no power. If you have the Holy Spirit and no power, it means you've quenched and grieved the Holy Spirit. That's why Karen. I love what you share. Please share that the next service because that I'm just gonna.

I'll let the cat out of the bag. What she said is exactly what I'm praying for this church. That you would hear the worship and it would just bring you to your knees. People begin to weep. God will begin breaking the heart because the power of the Spirit is moving.

Listen, you can go to church and it can be a cemetery. Dead dead religion dead Orthodox dead doctrine. Because letter kills it's the Spirit who gives life. It's the power of the Holy Spirit. So Jesus.

God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit. He went doing good works healing people all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him. Then you can bring Isaiah in right in the book of Luke. Jesus opens up the scroll.

He says the Spirit of the Lord is Upon me to preach the gospel to the poor to open blind eyes to set the captives free. God has anointed me for this very purpose to set the captives free to preach the glorious gospel.

That's why I'm here. So Peter is breaking all this down and Then verse 39 and we are witnesses of all these things which he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. Whom they killed by hanging on a tree.

Him God raised on the third day and showed him openly. Not to all people but to witnesses. Chosen before by God even to us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. Anybody who says I don't know about that.

I can't really believe that. I have a lot of questions. Well, I'm gonna not invest in an hour and a half right now, and I'll just go encourage you to watch case for Christ. Oh. No way man's on that one.

New movie out case for Christ how Lee Strobel former atheist came to know Jesus Christ that the Manuscript that the rabbi in the movie or the Hoover that was under 6 ,000 manuscripts. We have the 500 witnesses all these things that prove the resurrection is true even sick.

See, here's here's the thing if this was all a Bible thing. Oh you guys in your Bible I mean the Book of Mormon is no different more I and that this mountain and all these things that really didn't happen.

You know, it's really but secular sources Josephus Roman historians other historians talk about a man named Jesus. He was crucified and the body was stolen. Or the swoon theory right. Jesus really wasn't hurt that bad.

He just he got up three days later. See that you can't you can't discount the fact that here's an historical figure. Where do we date our calendars in? The year of our Lord Man I could spend some time there.

That is amazing. All these I think there's eight different secular historians not Christian. They say yeah, there was a Jesus. He's not the Son of God. Okay, if there was a Jesus he did die. Where's the body?

Where's the resurrection? Or how do you know the resurrection isn't true? All these people gave their lives for a lie. They hid a body that they can't find and they're dying for that lie. All these witnesses all these accounts all the change lives see it was one thing if you could just say this happened like yeah I think so.

But once you understand once you make him Lord of your life once you repent and God fills you with his love and you're crying Abba father Abba father. God, I know you it is internalized and it's experiential so confirms the gospel.

See, it's not like most religions never experienced their religion. They're going through motions. Prayers and go to church and I have to in there's just debt. Well, I hope this is right. But Christianity changes the heart.

Changes the heart so people you might as well stop to try to stop Niagara Falls. They're trying to stop a real Christian filled with God's Spirit from living a life to glorify Christ. You might as well just tried it because it's impossible.

Jesus the Judge and the Full Counsel of the Gospel

And then he commanded us to preach to the people. Peter saying Jesus command us to preach to the people and to testify that he is Ordained by God to be the judge of the living and the dead. That's why I often quote a W Tozer that I love Jesus because he's my Savior.

But I fear him because he is my judge. See, it's a very sobering reality. If I often remind you I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. We're not trying to build a huge church based on on what people think what they want.

You have to tell people the truth. He is your Savior, but he's also your judge. Be careful. Be careful. He did that Jesus did that the disciples did that? He is a judge of the living and the dead to him.

All the prophets were witnesses that through his name whoever believes in him will receive remission of sin. That's a Peter's laying out the gospel. So we have this is interesting. Christ is an advocate.

It's an interesting dichotomy. He's well perceived dichotomy. It's really not a dichotomy is well, that's something different but Jesus is Advocate. He goes to the father for me. He stands before God for he's my advocate.

But then he's also my judge. So when I say I don't want you as my attorney. I don't want you as my attorney. I don't want you as my advocate. I'm going to represent myself. Then he has to judge you based on your own representation of yourself.

He's your advocate, but he's also your judge. Many talk about the lamb, but not the lion. The lamb of God not the lion. We talk and we mentioned the man who turned the other cheek. Is that Jesus turned the other people tell me that what he said turn the other cheek.

Why are you so upset? What have you ever read Revelation? No, what what that he will tread the winepress and the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God. Oh Whoo that every time I read that it's just like, oh Gee, I mean, it's amazing.

I'll even run into pastors who never talk about those passages. Shame people don't want to hear. I don't care what they want to hear. What do they need to hear. The problem is you've got too much liberal Theology in your mind or you've came from a liberal seminary who wants to just avoid the difficult truths.

Because you one have never been converted or two. You've lost your you've left your first love. They talk about love but not the coming judgment. Heaven, but not hell in a relationship, but not repentance.

Whoever believes see remission. Whoever believes when you believe on the name that saves the Shackles are released and it opens the prison doors. That's I mean I could get. I get really excited on this point.

I don't know why but when you're when you when you give your life to the Lord and you say Lord use me. However, you want he shows you God show me your glory. Show me your ear your forgiveness. Show me Calvary.

Be careful to pray that prayer. God show me Calvary cuz you'll see the blood-stained cross. You'll see how see oh. This is something that is so frustrating. People don't understand the closer you draw to Christ the more you see how depraved you are.

And you've got all these people living like oh my living like Sodom and Gomorrah. They think they're just great with God but the closer I draw to the purity of the gospel the closer I draw to the purity of Christ and I see him that even the Sin of of selfishness or pride whatever it is.

The closer I get the more my sin is magnified. I Hate it, but I love it. Did you think you're doing good? And he'll say no. See just the fact you think you're doing good. And he'll start to but that's a good thing.

What happens is the closer you get to the mirror the better you see right? Can you see the men's restroom or the women's restroom mirrors right now? No, but as you get closer and closer and closer. So God heard Cornelius.

Repentance and God’s Response to the Seeker

We're talking about God. Here's God her Cornelius. This is Cornelius. This is what you need to do as well. He feared God. He obeyed he sought God and he repented. He feared he obeyed he sought God and repented.

God will hear the proud if they humble themselves. He will hear the addict if they confess and turn he will hear the sexually immoral if they repent. He will hear the single mom who is struggling and the failing father.

He will hear them. He will reach out to the depressed. He will restore the wounded and he will heal the broken-hearted. That's a God who hears and wants that relationship, but you have to take that step of repentance.

Repentance. Shane, why do you always talk about that? Well, I'm going to until the day I die. The repentance is a beautiful word and that won't spend time here because I know we have to end but I Want to get through the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles.

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

Verse 10. I'm sorry. Yeah chapter 10 verse 44. While Peter now listen this here we go. Another controversial thing get out get out your eraser. You got your eraser with you? Well Peter was it's funny because people read that all this is amazing in the New Testament it happens now.

No, that's of the devil. That's a that was for them, but that's of the devil today. While Peter was still speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon those who heard the word and this isn't just this is Epi the word Epi the preposition falling upon an Overwhelming sense of the Holy unless I felt this so much before I couldn't even go up and preach.

I Just wept and wept and wept. I couldn't even go up and preach and God began to just When he pours his spirit watch out church watch out church because all your plans for the rest of the day they are over.

You're not hungry anymore the little shower in the baby shower, whatever later you're gone. You're not even gonna make it. You're gonna be on the floor on your face before God weeping and crying out to God.

That's genuine revival. That's what the church needs. Listen Trump isn't gonna save us. America needs awakening to restore and renew. That's okay. Don't clap the second service will We have more people there.

But in all serious the Holy Spirit fell and this is why I'm so passionate about this because he fell upon me. And I want others to experience that you change. You are you just feel what is coming out of me.

It's no longer this and well. Cuss words this and cuss words that right? It's it's what is this? What's this praise? What's this worship in my heart? He's changed my heart. He's renewed me and those are the circumcision meeting the Jews who believed were astonished and They came to Peter and said the gift of the Holy Spirit has been poured out on all the Gentiles for they heard them.

Speak in tongues. Shane you just lost me again. So Bible says it but the Bible says it. Isn't this ironic we have no problem with raising from the dead and healing and and all these other but not you can't speak in A language that you don't know really.

Okay. Well, you better check your theology. Because Paul spent a whole chapter 2 in Corinthians on this this and people that don't know it I can see why it wouldn't make sense. But once a person Experiences it and the Bible talks about it.

It's just it's really it's a worship. It's not some word of knowledge. It's not it's this worship from the heart that the Holy Spirit's crying out of a father and the Holy Spirit doesn't take up speak American.

The Holy Spirit is crying to the father and that's what this is it's this glory that is worshiping God and this glorious takes place and a person is worshiping God and Arrogant prideful people who have never experienced it want to shoot down what they've never experienced.

That's the bottom line. I knew I shouldn't have fasted this weekend, huh? My goodness I'm so sick and tired of people putting down what's in the Bible because they've never experienced it. They want to avoid the Holy Spirit don't don't talk about that stuff.

Why. Because it gets us doesn't it? Comfortable Christianity is over when you're filled with the Holy Spirit comfortable Christianity is over. You're gonna go disconnect Netflix Facebook. Bye-bye YouTube.

No more unless it's worship songs all these friends who want to get drunk and get high by see you later. All I just want to turn off look at look at look at just how we spend our time when you're filled with the Holy Spirit everything changes everything changes.
