[3975.54 --> 3976.24] Just think about
[3976.24 --> 3977.10] biblically
[3977.10 --> 3977.94] what happens
[3977.94 --> 3979.00] when the Holy Spirit
[3979.00 --> 3980.18] kind of is given
[3980.18 --> 3981.76] permission and access
[3981.76 --> 3982.40] to our hearts
[3982.40 --> 3982.98] and lives.
[3982.98 --> 3983.86] Right?
[3983.94 --> 3985.52] Back to 2 Timothy 1.7.
[3985.66 --> 3985.82] Right?
[3986.46 --> 3987.60] We let the Holy Spirit
[3987.60 --> 3987.74] in.
[3987.80 --> 3988.48] We'll actually grow
[3988.48 --> 3989.94] in love
[3989.94 --> 3991.02] and power
[3991.02 --> 3992.30] and self-discipline.
[3992.98 --> 3993.76] Anybody need
[3993.76 --> 3994.58] some more love
[3994.58 --> 3995.22] and power
[3995.22 --> 3996.12] and self-discipline?
[3997.86 --> 3999.10] Or through the Spirit
[3999.10 --> 4000.24] we see in Galatians 5,
[4000.62 --> 4001.08] we end up
[4001.08 --> 4002.58] less self-obsessed,
[4003.06 --> 4004.08] more happy,
[4004.24 --> 4005.22] exuberant for life,
[4005.58 --> 4006.18] needing less
[4006.18 --> 4007.32] to force our way
[4007.32 --> 4008.46] or always be right.
[4008.46 --> 4009.46] we end up
[4009.46 --> 4010.52] more patient,
[4010.92 --> 4011.62] more gentle,
[4011.94 --> 4012.84] more peaceful,
[4013.30 --> 4014.44] more persevering,
[4014.62 --> 4015.20] more hopeful.
[4015.70 --> 4016.60] Anybody need more
[4016.60 --> 4017.06] of that
[4017.06 --> 4017.74] in their hearts
[4017.74 --> 4018.28] and lives?
[4019.14 --> 4019.30] Right?
[4019.36 --> 4020.28] Think about Romans 8.
[4020.82 --> 4021.88] When through the Holy Spirit
[4021.88 --> 4022.32] we cry,
[4022.42 --> 4022.74] Abba,
[4022.84 --> 4023.12] Father,
[4023.20 --> 4024.14] we are given access,
[4024.14 --> 4025.08] we are invited
[4025.08 --> 4026.68] into this ongoing intimacy.
[4027.44 --> 4027.78] We don't know
[4027.78 --> 4028.36] how to pray.
[4028.50 --> 4028.96] Anybody not know
[4028.96 --> 4029.80] how to pray sometimes
[4029.80 --> 4030.26] or often?
[4030.60 --> 4030.88] You know,
[4030.98 --> 4031.72] put my hand up.
[4032.12 --> 4032.92] But the Holy Spirit
[4032.92 --> 4033.92] is there to help us
[4033.92 --> 4034.58] in our weakness
[4034.58 --> 4035.66] to pray,
[4035.80 --> 4036.74] to walk in that
[4036.74 --> 4038.40] affection and strength
[4038.40 --> 4039.02] of the Father.
[4039.64 --> 4040.46] Or Romans 12,
[4040.96 --> 4041.18] right?
[4041.42 --> 4042.04] Through the Holy Spirit
[4042.04 --> 4042.88] we are given gifts
[4042.88 --> 4044.20] to serve powerfully,
[4044.58 --> 4046.14] to have powerful impact
[4046.14 --> 4047.38] in lives of witness
[4047.38 --> 4047.94] and service
[4047.94 --> 4048.58] in our neighborhood
[4048.58 --> 4049.70] and around the world.
[4050.40 --> 4050.66] Right?
[4050.90 --> 4052.14] I could continue,
[4052.74 --> 4054.12] but I think we get the point.
[4054.52 --> 4055.18] The reality is
[4055.18 --> 4056.10] we actually have
[4056.10 --> 4057.48] nothing to fear
[4057.48 --> 4058.30] with inviting
[4058.30 --> 4059.12] the Holy Spirit
[4059.12 --> 4059.30] in.
[4059.36 --> 4060.04] The Holy Spirit
[4060.04 --> 4060.82] is good.
[4061.32 --> 4062.22] He is trustworthy.
[4062.22 --> 4065.88] And so I just want to say
[4065.88 --> 4067.20] He won't make us,
[4067.26 --> 4068.22] against our fears,
[4068.42 --> 4069.86] He won't make us weird.
[4070.10 --> 4071.10] He'll make us holy.
[4071.66 --> 4073.02] He won't make us strange
[4073.02 --> 4074.14] or something different
[4074.14 --> 4075.20] or wacky than ourselves.
[4075.30 --> 4075.88] He's going to make us
[4075.88 --> 4077.40] more and more like Jesus
[4077.40 --> 4078.62] and more and more
[4078.62 --> 4080.08] ourselves in Jesus.
[4081.14 --> 4081.98] So I'm wondering
[4081.98 --> 4083.78] how might we
[4083.78 --> 4085.08] and how might you
