Priscilla Shirer: The Importance of Having the Holy Spirit Upon Us | Women of Faith on TBN

the holy spirit is the third person of

the Trinity not third because he is

least in value just third because he is

the last to be revealed to us in the

pages of scripture but all of the

fullness all of the Power all of the

authority all of the greatness all of

the Grandeur of God the father is in the

person of the Holy Spirit which means

when you place faith in Jesus Christ and

the Holy Spirit takes up residence in

you that now means that all of the Power

all of the glory all of the grandeur all

of the greatness of God the father now

lives on the inside of you Ephesians

chapter 1 says the moment you believe

you receive the holy spirit with promise

you are not waiting on the Holy Spirit

you have the Holy Spirit right

now so Luke writes about encounters and

he writes during a time when the nation

of Israel is experiencing National

depravity and Decay they have been

oppressed by oppressors who have come in

and stolen from them much of what they

they valued they are living in a in a

place of Oppression and a place of

Destruction and Luke writes to them

during this time when their nation is in

trouble and I don’t know if if you’ve

noticed or not but our nation is in

trouble we are living during a time of

moral and social Decay and decline like

never before and listen the more God is

marginalized the more he’s segmented to

the periphery of society the more he is

completely ignored or disregarded the

more more we will continue to see an

influx of chaos and an influx of

destruction in our nation but Luke

doesn’t just write to people who have

National trouble Luke is writing to

people that have individual personal

struggles they’ve been waiting on a hero

to show up they’ve been waiting for the

kingdom of God to be at hand they’ve

been waiting for the Prophecies of old

to come to flourish that there would be

a a messiah a savior who would come and

rescue them from all that they’ve been

experiencing nationally but also the

things that they have been experiencing

personally so I know our nation is in

trouble but I didn’t really come to talk

to you today about what’s happening in

the White House I want to talk to you

about what’s happening in your house

underneath the roof of your home the

trouble that might be happening in your

marriage the thing that causes the tears

to fall down from your eyes in regards

to your kids or your finances or your

health or on your job or in your

ministry you like the children of Israel

like me been waiting on a hero somebody

who can come in and Speak Life to the

dead places and refresh the dry places

of our life Luke is writing for people

who need an encounter with a god like

that and I just want to tell any of you

that might be in a struggle personally

underneath the roof of your own house

and the landscape of your own house and

you’re in a struggle you’re in a time

like Luke writes to where man things are

just plain old flat out difficult I just

want

to suggest to you the

possibility that

sometimes sometimes your difficulties

are less about the Enemy being against

you and more about God wanting to show

you what it looks like when he’s for

you sometimes the stuff that you are

facing the stuff that I’m facing that

are difficult it’s less about the Enemy

being against you and sometimes it’s

just about God allowing a stage to be

set in your life to where when he shows

up you will never ever doubt again that

you’ve had an encounter with

Jesus so the children of Israel need an

encounter with the Messiah they need an

encounter with Jesus Christ and finally

Jesus arrives on the scene after 400

years of Silence between the Old

Testament and the New Testament Jesus

arrives on the scene after centuries of

waiting after prophecy Desiring to be

fulfilled Jesus shows up on the scene

their hope has finally be been fulfilled

but here’s the tragedy when he comes he

does not come as they supposed he would

he is not on a throne he is not riding a

white horse he is not coming in power

and Vengeance and Authority that they

had mirrored in their oppressors that

they had pictured that their Messiah

would come in know he is born as a baby

all of that deity and authority and

miraculous working power that they

longed for was packaged in the skin of

humanity and a small human at that this

is not what they wanted it’s not what

they recognized it wasn’t the

expectation they had built up in their

heads so when he came they did not

recognize him when he showed up because

he was not in the package that they had

pictured in their minds he didn’t come

in the package they had prayed for he

had come in a different way because he

did not meet their expectations when he

showed up they did not recognize him

in the passage that we read Jesus is

being brought into the temple he is

being C carried uh by his mother Mary

Joseph is along for the ride as well

they have come with Jesus about 40 days

old into the temple they are in a

religious gathering where people have

come to perform their religious

duties and all the people who are

gathered that day are in the presence of

the one they prayed for and do not know

him when he comes would you please

notice that they’re not just anywhere

they are in the temple and still don’t

recognize the presence of

God I want to suggest to you that it is

possible to be at Propel and not see

Jesus I want to tell you that it is

possible for you to be in your church

every single Sunday which I pray you are

but you can be in your church and not

have an encounter with Jesus I want to

tell you that I’m so glad many of you

are in Bible study stay in Bible study

but you can read a verse a day to keep

the devil away until you are blue in the

face but if you read the scriptures with

a hardened heart with your eyes not open

you can be filling your days with the

duty of religious activity and never

catch sight of the lover of your soul

never have an encounter an experience

with Jesus all these people were in the

presence of Jesus Christ and did not

know him when he came because often

times many times when the Lord comes to

minister to you to speak into your life

circumstances he will come in a way that

is not the way you expect

it why because his ways are not our ways

his thoughts are not our thoughts as

high as the heavens are above the Earth

that’s how high his ways and his

thoughts are above our own and what I

attempt to do what you often attempt to

do I’m sure is to dumb him down so that

his ways match our ways his thoughts

match our thoughts we want him to answer

answer our prayers the way we’ve prayed

them we want the solutions that work out

in our minds to be the solutions that

will be best given the scenario that we

see given the prayer requests that we’ve

prayed but y’all sometimes we pray for

growth and he answers with

rain sometimes we pray for oak trees and

he answers with an

acorn and when the answer comes for your

marriage when the answer comes for your

parenting when the solution that God

listen today God is going to give some

of you Solutions and divine strategies

for things that are happening in your

life and on your job and in your

finances the struggles that you’re

facing and I’m saying when he answers if

the answer does not come in the package

that you have expected will you miss it

because you want your way not his way

and so Jesus he comes and he’s in a pool

of religious people and they do not

recognize the presence of God near them

now I want to open up a little

parenthesis is here before we jump to a

specific person that I want to draw your

attention to he’s the only person in the

text who actually sees Jesus but I want

to open up a little parenthesis because

you may have recognized that Luke went

into a whole lot of detail to tell us

something about the text it’s one thing

I love about Luke is that he gives us

details I like all the juice and all the

details out of the text so that I can

get a full picture painted of what’s

happening in the story and Luke wants us

to know that that Mary and Joseph are

coming for the ceremonial dedication of

their firstborn son that’s what

everybody did they would come to

Jerusalem particularly during this time

when they had a newborn son to present

their newborn son to the Lord get the

picture of this the Lord in this case is

being presented to the

Lord and they come in and Luke writes

and tells us exactly what they have with

them other than the baby Jesus says that

Mary had two turtle doubs or two pigeons

for herself sacrifice now that wouldn’t

really be of interest except that we

know from Leviticus from the sacrificial

system that had been set up divinely

mandated by God in Leviticus that when

someone came to make their sacrifices

they did need two animals to be

sacrificed one was a pigeon or a turtle

dove the other was supposed to be a lamb

that they were supposed to bring a lamb

with them but we find in Luke’s gospel

that he’s made sure we know Mary and

Joseph do not have their own lamb Luke

12 tells us or Leviticus 12 tells us

that there was a caveat for why someone

would not bring a lamb to be sacrificed

there’s one little verse Luke 12 verse 8

or so that says if someone could not

afford a lamb if their financial

resources were so that they could not

buy for themselves a lamb to bring into

the temple to be sacrificed there would

be an exception made for them they could

bring two Turtle does instead of one

turtle dove and a lamb they could just

bring two Turtle doubs but that was a

symbol of the fact that they were

insufficient in some way they did not

have the finance finances to buy their

own lamb which means when Mary and

Joseph came on that particular day with

their two turtle doves in toe people

would have automatically looked at them

and recognized them as a couple who had

insufficient funds as a couple who was

inadequate in some way as a couple who

had lack and who had knees I wonder how

many people turned their noses up at the

couple who could not afford their own

lamb I wonder how many people ignored

the poor couple who didn’t fit in with

everybody else who had been able to

purchase their own lamb I wonder how

many people did not get an opportunity

to have an encounter with the baby Jesus

because they ignored the people who had

him carried in their

arms I want to speak to who anybody

who’s in this room and you’ve ever felt

excluded or ignored Lord from the click

of people who have the money to buy

their own lamb they drive the car and

they live in the house and they’re able

to to communicate or to experience life

in a certain way that that man you just

can’t afford maybe you’ve got lack

financially or you’ve got lack

emotionally you have lack relationally

you have poured everything out and you

find it that you’ve got insufficient

funds in some way in your life and you

can’t afford what it looks like

everybody else can afford and you’ve

been ignored or ostracized people have

turned their noses up at you can I just

tell you that sometimes you don’t need

to have your own lamb when you can carry

the Lamb of God that takes away the sins

of the

world in

fact the lamb is most often best

experienced in the lives of those who

have insufficient

funds in fact I think it is our

affluence that keeps us from actually

having an encounter with the Living God

we’ve become so used to being able to

bless

ourselves that we don’t have a real

authentic relationship with the bless

or we are so affluent we have Prosperity

particularly in this part of the world

where listen if you’re poor in this

country you’re rich in other countries

and here where we’ve been able to

sustain ourselves where we know where

our next meal is coming from where we

choose from a closet full of clothes as

to what clothes we’re going to wear to a

particular event where we might have

Financial struggles everything is not

perfect but we still have our daily

needs met it is sometimes in our

affluence because our arms are so full

of the Lambs we have bought for ourself

we actually don’t even have room we

don’t have margin to have an intimate

ongoing relationship with the Lamb of

God that takes away the sins of the

world Lord forgive us when we’ve turned

our noses up at people who don’t have

all of the external markings of of

affluence in doing that we have missed

out on the blessing of having a

relationship with the people who often

have the most intimate relationships

with Jesus Christ cuz sometimes y’all

those people are not in the in the

spotlight they’re the ones behind the

scenes sometimes those are the people

that are not in megator churches they’re

in storefront churches sometimes there

are the people that are not the ones on

the platform with the microphone in

their hands they’re the people that

volunteer their time to clean up in a

sanctuary like this to sweep up after us

they’re the people who volunteer their

time to be in the Sunday school teaching

our second graders and third graders so

that you and I can enjoy an opportunity

like that Lord forgive us when we ignore

those people and clamor after the people

whose gifts happen to put them in the

spotlight but we ignore those people who

are who are uh in intercessory prayer

who were on their knees in the secret

quiet places the Lamb of God tucked

within their arms having an intimate

encounter with him but we ignore them

because they don’t look like us or dress

like us or drive what we drive or live

where we

live so if you’ve ever been that

person the text speaks to you today that

it was Mary and Joseph who did not have

what everybody

had but they had what everybody else

didn’t

have and so they come into the

building nobody recognizes that Jesus

has

arrived except one

person Luke writes at the top of the

passage he writes and behold somebody

say behold behold come on y’all say

behold behold anytime an author in the

text writes that word it isn’t a

throwaway word it isn’t something that

you just need to skip or skim over

quickly anytime you read behold in the

text the author is trying to tell you

lean in put your chin in your hands just

in case you kind of fell asleep during

all the minutia and the fine details

that led up to this moment this is when

the author wants you to open up your

eyes and sit up straight because there’s

somebody he wants you to meet he says

behold there was a man named Simeon and

when no one else recognized the presence

of God when God came near there was one

guy who

did and if in this room today there are

only going to be a handful of us who

actually have an encounter with God I’m

talking about where we hear his voice

when we our hearts are set a flame by

the Holy Spirit when you when we get

some some uh direction for the purpose

that he has for our life if there going

to be a whole lot of us who haven’t

experience today but only a few that

actually encounter the Living God that I

don’t know about you but if there’s only

going to be a few I want to be one of

them

anybody so Luke says pay attention

because there’s one guy that’s going to

show you how to have your eyes open so

so that you aren’t just in the religious

place but so that you encounter a holy

living God he says there’s a man named

Simeon he’s righteous

devout and he’s looking for the

consolation of Israel his eyes are open

peeled to the Horizon waiting for Jesus

in whatever package he chooses to come

waiting for an encounter with the the

long awaited

Messiah and then he gives us at least

the one there are many throughout this

text but the one characteristic of his

life that I believed opened up simeon’s

eyes to catch sight of God that will

open up our eyes to catch sight of God

he says at the bottom of verse 25 he

says and the Holy Spirit was upon

Him Luke says simeon’s eyes were open to

catch sight of

God

because God Spirit was on

him the holy spirit is the greatest gift

you will ever receive this side of

Eternity the moment you place faith in

Jesus the moment you receive Jesus as

your personal savior I don’t know if you

knew it or not but you received in that

moment the greatest gift you will ever

receive the holy spirit of God and the

Holy Spirit is not a ghost or a wind or

a fire or a dove he is often symbolized

by those things but y’all they ain’t who

he is the holy spirit is the third

person of the Trinity not third because

he is least in value just third because

he is the last to be revealed to us in

the pages of scripture but all of the

fullness all of the Power all of the

authority all of the greatness all of

the Grandeur of God the father is in the

person of the Holy Spirit which means

when you place faith in Jesus Christ and

the Holy Spirit takes up residence in

you that now means that all of the Power

all of the glory all of the Grandeur all

of the greatness of God the father now

lives on the inside of you Ephesians

chapter 1 says the moment you believe

you receive the holy spirit with promise

you are not waiting on the Holy Spirit

you have the Holy Spirit right now you

did not receive the holy spirit in

installment

plans you can’t give away a person in

Parts all of the Holy Spirit you ever

going to get you got the moment you got

saved now we need to be f fed by God’s

spirit as we yield to his conviction in

our life in obedience as what is

happening in US becomes an outward

expression as our behavior is modified

as we are Sanctified somebody say

Sanctified Sanctified that means as we

are molded into the image of Christ

Jesus so that we start to think like him

and talk like him and walk like him and

behave like Jesus Jesus behaved we need

to be filled by God’s spirit but when

you got saved listen to me you received

the whole holy spirit of God God’s

spirit is in you the benefit of this is

all of the fruit of God’s spirit is

available to you that means that that

there is

gentleness that you don’t have in your

own natural ability for that person or

that problem that now you are able to

have that is beyond your own natural

capacity because the Holy Spirit what he

does is help us to live beyond ourselves

when we’ve come to the end of our PTI

you know with that one coworker that one

that if she says one more thing to you

you going to knock her out that

one the holy spirit is the one that

gives you patience when your patience

has long since run out the holy spirit

is the one who gives you self-discipline

so that you have discipline in areas

where you know left to your own natural

desires and propensities you would not

have discipline in that area of morality

or that area of gluttony you wouldn’t

have discipline but now because the Holy

Spirit lives on the inside of you you

can live beyond your natural capacities

anybody excited about that the holy

spirit gives you fruit so that you are

able to have more than what you would

have if left to your own but you don’t

just get his fruit you get his

gifts the holy spirit gives you gifts

through which you can edify the body of

Christ he turns what would have maybe

possibly been just a talent into a gift

that actually causes what you do or what

you craft to actually get to the hearts

of the people that you are singing to or

speaking to or dancing for or writing to

those people now don’t just read words

on a page that you wrote now the words

are like fire shut up in their soul it

changes their heart it renews their mind

it accomplishes spiritual purposes in

their life so listen if you’re a writer

well then write do your best work but in

the end what you’re praying for is that

God spirit will anoint your words with

power and with fire to affect people for

the glory of God don’t just

speak ask God for fire on your

message don’t just dance perfect your

craft but in the end what you’re looking

for is not just

Talent what you want is a

gift and there’s no amount of

manufacturing that can give what only

the Holy Spirit can give so when the

Holy Spirit takes up resonance on the

inside of you and on the inside of me at

the moment we are saved we have the

privilege of having relationship with

Jesus Christ having relationship with

God having communication with him

because of the holy spirit that lives on

the inside of us that if when God sent

his son Jesus to die on the cross if

when we received that gift we got a

ticket to Eternity and that was all we

got just that we knew we were saved from

Death hell and the grave and we got to

experience eternity with Jesus Christ

listen if that’s all we ever got out of

this salvation deal that would have been

enough for us to celebrate for the rest

of our days but when that might have

been enough for us it wasn’t enough for

him amen he said no I’m going to send

you the holy spirit so that I don’t you

don’t have to wait to get to heaven to

experience heaven but so that you can

have a little bit of heaven right now

while you’re here on planet Earth I’m

going to give you myself in the person

of the holy spirit so that you will see

what it’s like to walk with me and talk

with me and have friendship with me and

an ongoing relationship with me that is

what it means to have the holy spirit

amen but Luke

says that Simeon did not just have the

spirit in

him it says that the spirit was upon

him this tells us that there there is a

difference between the spirit being in

you and the spirit being on

you I want to live a

life that invites the presence of God’s

spirit on

me I know he’s in me but I want the kind

of life that is a magnet that calls down

the grace the favor the anointing the

presence of God upon my life I want to

live in such yielded surrender to him

that not just is he in me that’s a gift

that all of us get who have placed faith

in Jesus Christ but I don’t just want

him in me I want him on my life I want

the evidence of him on my life I want it

so that when I do something or say

something or participate in something or

pray over something I want it so that

when I walk away people don’t just say

Priscilla was here I want them to say no

God’s presence was here that only

happens when the spirit of God is is on

you and so if you want to Mother your

kids in such a way that you leave the

imprint of God on those kids the spirit

can’t just be in you he got to be on you

if you want to be the wife that God has

called you to be single woman if you

want to be the kind of single woman that

God has called you to be if you want to

be the kind of employer or employee that

God has called you to be if you want to

walk with purpose in the way that God

has called you to then thank the Lord

that God’s spirit is on you but I’m

asking that God will allow it there to

be 2,000 women who leave this place

today at the end of the day and God’s

spirit is just in us but God’s spirit is

on us where we are marked by the

presence of God where when people

encounter us there’s something unusual

something distinct something that they

cannot touch or taste or communicate

with their five physical senses there’s

an intangible that is on their life

where when the employer is looking to

give the promotion it’s not that your

resume says you are the the most

qualified out of all the candidates but

there’s something about you that they

just can’t put a finger on that’s called

the spirit of God being on

you it’s called

favor favor is what opens up doors no

man can shut favor is what puts you in

placees you know you don’t have no

business being in favor is what sets you

in positions that you know you aren’t

qualified for say favor is what makes it

so that you are exactly where you’re

supposed to be to accomplish exactly

what it is that God has set for you to

accomp it’s it’s what qualifies you when

you don’t have the degree and you don’t

have the diploma you don’t have the

connections you’re just where God has

opened up a door for you to be and even

though people might talk badly about you

or try to push you out of that place you

cannot be moved not because you

manufactured your way there but because

God Spirit has placed you there God’s

spirit on your

life is what makes it so that you don’t

have to mark it yourself because you’ve

already been marked by the presence of

almighty

God oh I want God’s spirit on me and can

I tell you this are you

listening there is one thing that

attracts the presence of God to rest on

our lives and it is

Holiness plain old

Flatout old

school

Holiness I implore you Sisters by the

mercies of

God to walk in a manner worthy of the

calling by which you have been called

that if you come if I come into this

room and we celebrate till we are blue

in the face and we wave our hands and we

read the scriptures and we worship but

we walk out of here and we live in a way

that is

incongruent with everything that we’ve

heard here today if we do not choose to

walk in a way that honors God we will

have wasted the time that we have spent

here and if there is something that

breaks my heart for my own generation

and the generation coming up after me is

that social media has made it so that we

are more interested in impressing

people than walking holy before our

God we are more interested in being

perfectly lit than we are in making sure

that we’re laying up Treasures for

ourselves in

heaven Lord help us when because of our

h because of our arrogance because of

our pride we are more interested in

receiving the Applause of people than we

are of making sure that we will receive

the Applause of heaven but a day is

coming y’all sooner than we think where

we’re going to look our savior in his

face where we’re going to see him face

to face and when we see him he will not

ask me how many Instagram followers I

have he will not wonder how many people

liked my message on Twitter what he’ll

asked me is number number one did I have

a relationship with his son

Jesus and then I will give an

account you will give an

account and I don’t know about y’all but

when I give an account I’m looking for a

well

done not because I necessarily please

people but because he is pleased with my

life and the one thing that invites the

favor of God on our life like Simeon

that will open our eyes to see him more

clearly so that we don’t miss him when

he comes into our circumstances trying

to speak to us to answer us to make

himself apparent in our lives the one

thing that opens up our eyes is God’s

spirit on us and if you want if I want

God’s spirit on our lives then we got to

decide to live

holy I implore you by the mercies of God

to lay aside every sin every hindrance

anything that is keeping you entangled

so that you cannot run with endurance

the race that is set before you any

relationship sever it at the past so

that you can walk holy sister any

addiction any habit any lifestyle choice

that is keeping you from being free and

walking in Victory in jesus’ name Let It

Go by the power of the holy spirit so

that he can rest on your life going to

church is good good but it’s not

enough doing your Bible study oh it’s

great but it’s not enough if you want

God’s presence on you marking you making

you distinct and different from the

people around you then you got to walk

in a manner worthy of the

Lord be ye holy it’s not

Perfection it is a call to yield to the

power of the holy spirit in you so that

you do not give way to all the desires

of your flesh

what it means is that you have not

chosen as a

lifestyle an attitude or an action that

you already know is displeasing to God

you know upfront that you’ve already got

on your calendar after this is over a

place you’re going or a person you’re

seeing that you know you don’t have B

any business being in relationship with

but you’ve already scheduled sin into

your

calendar I’m saying walk away from

everything that is keeping you from

having the biggest most amazing blessing

you can have on your life and that is

God’s presence marking you all up on you

setting you apart girl for his purposes

and with his power evident through your

life if you were in this room and you

are in Chains in some area of your life

where you’ve tried the 12-step program

you’ve tried to walk away from that

illegitimate relationship you’ve tried

to not live this lifestyle because you

know that it is out of alignment with

the truth of God but everything you’ve

tried in your own power has not set you

free so that you can walk in Holiness

and have God’s presence resting on your

life I believe that before this day is

over those chains can fall off of your

life that you can decide that I’m going

to live holy so that I can have God’s

favor like Simeon so that my eyes can be

opened because I want to see my God I

want to hear his voice I want to have an

experience and an encounter with him if

you are in this

room and you know you’re not walking in

Holiness you know there is an area of

your life whether in attitude or in

action I mean God’s asked you to forgive

that person and you have dug your heels

in the ground you have refused to

forgive or in your actions where you

were literally doing something

participating in something engaging in

something and you’ve dug your heels into

the ground you’ve ignored the little

pricks of the Holy Spirit asking you to

walk away from that or to participate in

that you’ve you’ve ignored it and you

know you are not living holy before the

Lord and you want to get that strike

today so that we can all be women who

honor God in our attitudes and on our

actions and invite the favor of God on

our lives listen if you are in this room

and you know Holiness is the call that

God has given to you this

morning would you please right now in

this holy space just rise to your feed

if that’s you if you need freedom in a

specific area of your life we’re going

to walk out of here a holy band of

women who want God’s favor on

us don’t be embarrassed don’t be

ashamed listen ain’t nobody got time for

that this is the moment where we say God

we give ourselves to you a living and

holy

sacrifice we present our bodies to you

we present our minds to you we present

ourselves to you Lord a living and holy

sacrifice do with us what you will we

surrender the area of life that is our

area of bondage the area we’ve been

holding back the little Cove we’ve kept

from your fingerprints being upon it we

surrender that to you if you want

freedom in jesus’ name this is your

moment stand to your

feet you don’t have to go home the same

way you came girl you don’t have to

think the same you don’t have to act the

same you don’t have to be in bondage

like you are and have been we can change

that by God’s spirit today Lord Jesus I

lift up every single sister who was

standing underneath the sound of my

voice and I pray right now in jesus’

name that you would give them a holy

boldness and a

courage to surrender to you every area

of their life that they’ve been holding

back sister would you picture that area

where you know you need to ask for

forgiveness I’m going to ask you to just

put your hands out in front of you cup

cup those hands in front of you like

that if you confess your sin he’s

faithful and just to forgive you your

sin and to cleanse you of all

unrighteousness picture that in his hand

forgiveness and only when you are ready

you lift lift up those hands as if you

were yielding it finally completely to

him and you lift up those hands and

surrender give it to them and just let

somebody’s life that is demonic in

nature Lord I pray in jesus’ name and by

to no longer walk by the flesh but to

walk by the spirit so that we will not

fulfill the desires of the flesh Lord I

pray for freedom in Jesus name I thank

you for Galatians 51 that says it is for

Freedom that we have been made free
