00:00Hi, communion, rediscovering its power and purpose.

00:131 Corinthians 11, 23-26 tells us,

00:16For I have received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you,

00:22that the Lord Jesus, on the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

00:26and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said,

00:29Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you.

00:34Do this in remembrance of me.

00:37In the same manner he also took the cup after supper, saying,

00:41This cup is the new covenant in my blood.

00:44This do as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

00:49For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,

00:52you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes.

00:57In the true confronting words of Charles Spurgeon,

01:00We cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with him.

01:06And we cannot have communion with a church till we are in vital union with it.

01:12Communion, rediscovering its power and purpose.

01:16Want to know more?

01:18Hang around.

01:22Hello, hello, welcome to Lions Roar 3.8 Ministries.

01:26Amos 3.8 tells us,

01:28A lion has roared who will not fear or hear.

01:31The Lord God has spoken who can but prophesy.

01:35My name is George Magalhães and we are an apostolic ministry

01:39with a prophetic teaching edge.

01:41It is our passion, our mission, to reignite, equip,

01:45and release Christ-like disciples, both locally and globally.

01:49We do that through our itinerant ministry,

01:51but as well as providing with resources just like this one,

01:55to help you, to aid you in your God-given calling.

01:59Today, we're going to do something we haven't done before, at all, ever.

02:03And that is communion.

02:05We're going to be doing a study on communion,

02:08bringing us to our main verse today.

02:10And this time, you will see it on the screen.

02:15So, this time, we'll read it as the voice translation.

02:20So, 1 Corinthians 11, 23 to 26, in the voice translation.

02:28I passed on to you the tradition the Lord gave to me.

02:33On the same night, the Lord Jesus was betrayed.

02:35He took the bread in his hands, and after giving thanks to God,

02:39he broke it and said,

02:44This is my body broken for you.

02:46Keep doing this so that you and all who come after

02:52will have a vivid reminder of me.

02:56After they had finished dinner, he took the cup,

02:59and in the same way said,

03:01This cup is the new covenant executed in my blood.

03:05Keep doing this, and whenever you drink it,

03:08you and all who come after will have a vivid reminder of me.

03:15Every time you taste this bread,

03:17and every time you place the cup to your mouths and drink,

03:20you are declaring the Lord's death,

03:23which is the ultimate expression of his faithfulness and love

03:27until he comes again.

03:31Amen and amen.

03:33We did have a little pause there

03:35because I was trying to get our guest today, Elijah Magalhães,

03:40to be the Jesus part,

03:42but he didn't catch on to it, but it's okay.

03:45It's all good.

03:46So today, as I said, we're going to be doing a short study on communion,

03:51rediscovering its power and purpose.

03:57Amen? Rediscovering its power and purpose.

04:02All right, so many of you know how valuable communion is.

04:06Many of you participate in communion,

04:10probably on a weekly basis in your churches,

04:13and many times we've ministered successfully,

04:17at least us, I'm talking about Lions World 3M Ministries,

04:20Sabrina and I,

04:22we've ministered actually many times through communion successfully

04:27because this is a gift of God,

04:29and many of you can actually testify to the power of communion

04:33through healing, deliverance, and so on.

04:35In today's study, we will delve into the profound significance of holy communion,

04:43exploring its origin, purpose, and transformative impact on our faith.

04:49We will reawaken a deeper understanding and appreciation of communion

04:55supported by biblical evidence and quotes from esteemed Christian figures.

05:01This section will be delivered in our context, which I will cover.

05:07Before venturing onto our study, which Elijah will then lead,

05:12by revisiting the Last Supper and recognizing the spiritual,

05:17physical, and soul benefits of this sacred practice,

05:21we aim to revive our faith and fellowship with Christ.

05:26Elijah will finally, so if you can start doing it now,

05:30if you haven't already done, get your cups ready,

05:36get your bread ready or biscuit or whatever you have there

05:40as we are speaking right now,

05:41because we are going to do a practical.

05:44So Elijah will finally guide us through a practical experience

05:49of partaking in communion, culminating in a heartfelt prayer

05:54and practical application.

05:55Of course, just before that, he will do a small teaching as well on communion.

06:02All right?

06:03So let's pray first.

06:05If you haven't, again, I say, if you haven't got your juice, wine,

06:10whatever it is with you, go and get it right now as we pray and get ready to start.

06:15Amen?

06:16All right, Lord, we thank you for this wonderful night.

06:18We thank you for this time as we venture,

06:21as we delve into the amazing gift of communion that you have blessed us.

06:26Lord, we thank you that you're already moving in this place.

06:29You're already moving through this program.

06:31You're already moving in our hearts and in our lives.

06:33And we thank you for the amazing testimonies at the end of this night as well,

06:37or this day or morning, wherever you are in the world.

06:40We thank you, Lord, for an amazing time of communion.

06:44And as we commune with you, we thank you for a greater level of experience,

06:50of relationship with you, that you will take us deeper in our understanding,

06:57in our experience, and in revealing what you have ahead for us, Lord,

07:03and what you want us to do.

07:07We thank you in the mighty name of Jesus.

07:10Amen.

07:11All right.

07:12So, like I said, we're going to start with the context first,

07:16and then Elijah will take over.

07:18All right.

07:19So, what is communion?

07:22What is communion?

07:23Because communion is not just a Christian word.

07:27Many people now use, in fact, if you look at the way that a lot of the world speaks,

07:33whether they are believers or not, a lot of them actually use Christian words

07:36in their vocabulary, and many of them don't even know that it comes

07:40from Christian context.

07:42Nevertheless, let's look into it.

07:44What is communion?

07:45The power thesaurus reveals communion as sacrament, Eucharist, kinship,

07:54fellowship, intimacy, community, connection, team spirit, a community of interests.

08:06And let me give you some biblical examples of what communion is in terms

08:11of characters in the Bible.

08:13So, if you look at, for example, Enoch, Enoch in the Bible,

08:17and I encourage you to look up Genesis 5.22, speaks about this communion

08:24that we've just defined, Genesis 5.22, Genesis 5.24.

08:31We've also got Noah, Noah in Genesis 6, verse 9, and Noah in Genesis 8, 15 to 17.

08:43You can also see in Abraham's life.

08:46So, if you look at Abraham in Genesis 12, verses 1 to 3, and Genesis 17, verse 1.

08:57You've also got Isaac, Isaac in Genesis 28, verse 13, Isaac in Genesis 35, verse 1.

09:07You've got Moses in Exodus 3, verses 1 to 22, Moses in Numbers 12, verse 8.

09:18You've got Joshua, Joshua in chapter 1, verses 1 to 19, and Joshua in Joshua 8, verse 1.

09:30You've also got Solomon, Solomon in 1 Kings 3, 5 to 14, and Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1, 7 to 12.

09:42And these are just some characters in the Old Testament that you can see in practical, in their lives,

09:55them communing with God.

09:58Now, in the New Testament, we find there's many, but I'll give you two verses in the New Testament,

10:04amongst others, which reveal communion in this context.

10:08So, 1 Corinthians 1, verse 9, in the New King James Version, says,

10:13God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10:231 John 1, verse 3, in the New King James Version,

10:28That which we have seen and heard, we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us.

10:37And truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

10:44So, for the simple purpose of having a basic comprehension of what communion is, this is fine.

10:51This is okay, in a simple and basic comprehension.

10:56However, from a godly point of view, there is a deeper spiritual, physical, and soul impact.

11:02There is a much more wholesome understanding and purpose that God established in the gift of communion,

11:10that believers must fully understand the value and practice.

11:15Mother Teresa described communion as,

11:18Jesus has made Himself the bread of life to give us life.

11:23Night and day, He is there.

11:26If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist.

11:32Come back to that adoration.

11:36Cyril of Alexandria stated,

11:38As two pieces of wax fused together make one,

11:43so he who receives holy communion is so united with Christ,

11:49that Christ is in him, and he is in Christ.

11:54St. Augustine put it all together when he said,

11:59Recognizing this bread, what hung on the cross,

12:04and in this chalice what flowed from his side,

12:08whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifices of the Old Testament,

12:15pertains to this one sacrifice, which is revealed in the New Testament.

12:23You see, our main verse today depicts a perfect picture exemplified in the Last Supper,

12:31revealing what communion fully represents, its origin, purpose, and benefits.

12:38No wonder the enemy is so hell-bent on mocking it.

12:451 Corinthians 23-26.

12:50Again, reading from the voice translation.

12:53I passed on to you the tradition the Lord gave to me.

12:58On the same night the Lord Jesus was betrayed.

13:02He took the bread in his hands, and after giving thanks to God,

13:06he broke it and said, This is my body broken for you.

13:10Keep doing this so that you and all who come after will have a vivid reminder of me.

13:18After they had finished dinner, he took the cup and in the same way said,

13:22This cup is the new covenant executed in my blood.

13:27Keep doing this, and whenever you drink it,

13:30you and all who come after will have a vivid reminder of me.

13:36Every time you taste this bread and every time you place the cup to your mouth and drink,

13:41you are declaring the Lord's death,

13:43which is the ultimate expression of his faithfulness and love until he comes again.

13:51All right, I'm going to hand over to Elijah.

13:57For our communion study today, I would like to set forth a function of communion

14:01that sadly many are unfamiliar with.

14:04Communion reinvigorates, revives, rejuvenates, and awakens your original faith.

14:10An explicit purpose of communion is laid out in our main verse today,

14:151 Corinthians 11, 23-26, reading from the New King James Version, saying,

14:22For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you,

14:25that the Lord Jesus, on the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

14:30and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,

14:33Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you.

14:38Do this in remembrance of me.

14:40In the same manner, he also took the cup after supper, saying,

14:45This cup is the new covenant in my blood.

14:48Do this do as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.

14:52For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,

14:56you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes.

14:59So brothers and sisters, when we are proclaiming our Lord's death,

15:03we are doing as we did when you were first saved.

15:06Hence the term reinvigoration instead of strengthening or increasing.

15:11Romans 10, verse 9, and Isaiah 53, verse 5,

15:14together confidently confirms this truth.

15:18Romans 10, verse 9, reading from the Amplified Classic Version, says,

15:22Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips

15:25that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe,

15:28adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth,

15:31that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

15:36Isaiah 53, verse 5, reading from the New King James Version this time, says,

15:41But he was wounded for our transgressions.

15:44He was bruised for our iniquities.

15:46The chastisement for our peace was upon him,

15:49and by his stripes we are healed.

15:53As mentioned in Romans 10, verse 9, we must believe upon Christ,

15:58and not just believe but proclaim our belief so as to be saved.

16:02Hence, faith.

16:04When we are believing upon Christ as our Lord,

16:06we are believing he has done what he said he has done.

16:09That is, he has taken the chastisement, penalty, punishment, judgment

16:14for our peace upon him, as mentioned in Isaiah 53, verse 5,

16:19and so has vindicated, acquitted, justified, pardoned us,

16:24and granted us salvation.

16:27This parallel, the parallel this exhibits is paramount,

16:32as this, in essence, is doing exactly as Paul outlines.

16:35You are proclaiming Christ's death till he comes,

16:39and so reinvigorating the faith you exercised when you were saved.

16:44As for the practical applications of this principle,

16:47both from testimonies, familial or otherwise, as well as from scripture,

16:53the best practical advice I could give you

16:55would be to proclaim the Lord's death in your heart and actions

16:58as you take communion,

17:00and therefore not to take the Lord's supper unworthily,

17:03as Paul would say,

17:05that you may take communion and benefit from it

17:09as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, as our Lord said.

17:13All right, just for a second there.

17:15What you've just said is so important.

17:17I want people to understand this.

17:19Can you, I'm putting you on the spot here,

17:21can you explain that paragraph that you just said?

17:24Can you explain that in your own words so that people get it?

17:28Because it's so vital, this is so important, what you just said.

17:32Well, what I'm saying here when I say this,

17:37about not taking it unworthily,

17:39and proclaiming the Lord's death till he comes,

17:43is somewhat of a theme that you hear throughout the old hymns

17:49and old poems, very, very related to the Psalms,

17:53and even in some of the Psalms.

17:54It is a declaration of faith.

17:57Some of you might be familiar with the Apostolic or Nicene Creed.

18:02It is very much like that in this respect,

18:06in so as much as you are proclaiming exactly what you proclaimed when you were saved.

18:11For the Lord said to be saved, as mentioned earlier,

18:13you have to proclaim Christ as Lord.

18:16And here you are proclaiming Christ as Lord,

18:19you're proclaiming him until he comes back as Lord,

18:21and you're proclaiming that he will come back

18:24and take everything for what he has for us.

18:29And so when you're proclaiming this,

18:32you're reinvigorating, as the Lord told us to do many times,

18:35and you are hopefully, as I said earlier,

18:38not doing unworthily your original faith.

18:43When you mean, sorry to interrupt you there,

18:45when you mean unworthily, what are you saying?

18:48Are you saying like, don't take it lightly,

18:51don't muck around with it, don't mock it?

18:54Is that what you're saying?

18:55And when you do proclaim the Lord's death,

18:58are you saying you have to be very serious about it?

19:01No, holy, very holy.

19:03Or are you doing it from a gratitude heart,

19:07from a joyous heart because of what God has done?

19:11I think the answer to your first question about not taking it unworthily

19:15would be to not to take it without the explicit purpose,

19:23without the specific thing that Paul says to take it with in mind,

19:27without in mind your proclamation of Christ's death,

19:30and your understanding of that you are drinking his blood

19:34and eating his bread, his body,

19:36and the reverence that automatically, that naturally comes from that,

19:41from drinking the blood of God and eating his body.

19:45As for the answer to the second question,

19:47I think the best answer is given by Spurgeon when he says,

19:51for here is the main business.

19:54Show his death to your own heart till your heart bleeds for sin.

19:57Show it to your own faith till your faith feels at all sufficient.

20:01Show it to others.

20:02You'll be sure to show it to others if you show it to yourself.

20:06For as others look on and mark your reverent behavior,

20:09if they cannot enter into your joy,

20:11they will be reminded of what they have so long forgotten.

20:15So as we take our communion, wine and bread,

20:18let's do it in the spirit of Ecclesiastes 9, verse 7,

20:22reading from the AMPC.

20:25Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart.

20:30If you are righteous, wise, and in the hands of God,

20:34for God has already accepted your works.

20:37Amen.

20:39And as we said, we're going to do this practical,

20:43partaking communion.

20:44Here you are.

20:45That's yours.

20:46This one is mine.

20:48So grab your cups, juice, whatever you have,

20:52wine, whatever it is, and your bread.

20:55And that can be, I've got some Lebanese bread here.

20:59It's kosher enough.

21:02I've got some for me as well.

21:04Grab your bread.

21:05We're going to do communion together.

21:06Amen.

21:07So Elijah is going to pray for our communion.

21:10And then in your own time, after he's prayed,

21:13then in your own time, you just practice what you just heard

21:17and partake in the communion.

21:18Amen.

21:19Go for it.

21:21Okay.

21:22Thank you, Lord, for this bread that represents your body,

21:27that you broke on the cross for us.

21:30Thank you for what it means, in essence,

21:33that you gave up your form that we may have,

21:39a truer form, that we may have the original form

21:42you have made for us.

21:44Thank you that by thine stripes we are healed,

21:47as Isaiah says, and that now you have risen

21:52to the right hand of the Most High.

21:55And we take this in faith of that,

21:57in remembrance, until he comes.

21:59In Jesus' name, amen.

22:01Amen.

22:09Now, thank you, Lord, for this wine or juice,

22:31as it may be in your case, that represents your blood

22:37that you shed on the cross for us.

22:40Thank you, Lord, for the purifying liquid

22:46that you shed willingly and painfully on that cross for us,

22:50and thank you that through drinking this,

22:53through being saved, we are purified

22:55and made white as snow by your blood,

22:57by what this represents.

23:01Thank you that we remember this as we drink it,

23:05we remember the, as Dad said earlier,

23:08the blood that filled this chalice.

23:12And we take this in remembrance of you

23:15until you come again.

23:18In Jesus' name, amen.

23:20Amen.

23:28Thank you, Lord, hallelujah.

23:31All right.

23:34Like I said, it's a mini study.

23:36It's a small study.

23:37I wanted to give you just a small introduction.

23:41I encourage you to go back whenever you can

23:44and re-listen to it, re-learn,

23:46because sometimes revelation needs to be heard

23:49over and over again until it actually becomes

23:52and manifests as understanding in us.

23:58So listen to it over and over again.

24:00What that does, it renews your mind,

24:03and then the revelation turns into understanding,

24:06as God wants us to have.

24:08Amen?

24:09Amen.

24:10Now I want to give a chance,

24:12anybody who's new here,

24:14if you're new here,

24:15if you've never given your life to Jesus,

24:17the word of God is very clear.

24:18What we've done right now is a sacred thing.

24:20We just communed with God of the universe himself,

24:24and he loves that.

24:26He established this wonderful gift

24:29because he loves us that much.

24:31And in 1 John 5, verses 4 to 5,

24:36it tells us, can you read that for me?

24:38Yes.

24:39For whatever is born of God overcomes the world,

24:42and this is a victory that has overcome the world,

24:45our faith.

24:46Who is he who overcomes the world

24:48but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

24:51Amen.

24:52And then John 3, 16 to 17 goes on to say,

24:55because many people don't have the right understanding

24:58and have a misunderstanding of what Christianity is

25:00and who the Christian God really is,

25:02but the word of God is very clear.

25:04And he says in his word,

25:06For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son

25:11that whoever believes in him should not perish

25:14but have everlasting life.

25:16For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,

25:20but that the world through him might be saved.

25:24Amen.

25:25And 1 John 1, verse 9 is very clear

25:28and tells us very clearly what you have to do.

25:32Now, before you listen to that,

25:34I just want to mention something because we hear this word sin,

25:38and every time we hear about sin,

25:40most of the world just cringes and has this misunderstanding,

25:44and you tend to then go on the attack towards Christianity

25:48or the Christian God because sin is portrayed in the world

25:51in such a deceitful manner

25:53that you don't quite understand what it is.

25:55Now, is sin something that God hates?

25:58Absolutely.

26:00Absolutely.

26:01He wouldn't send his Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die

26:05in our behalf if he didn't take it that serious.

26:08In fact, the word of God tells us that the wages of sin,

26:11in other words, the consequences of sin, the results of sin,

26:14is death.

26:16Death.

26:17And Jesus Christ went in our place, in everyone's place.

26:22He took it upon himself all the sins of the world,

26:24from the past, present, and future,

26:27and he hung on that cross a perfect man,

26:30and he died for our sins.

26:32Now, sins, in the most simplistic definition,

26:36is when we try to live our lives without God.

26:39That is sinful.

26:40Anything we do that does not include God is a sin.

26:45God's created us in his image.

26:47It's very clear in the word of God.

26:48We are the only beings created in God's image.

26:51Everything else in the universe, none of it was created in his image

26:55but humanity.

26:57We are the only ones, and God is spirit.

26:59And if God is spirit, then we are spirit beings with a soul

27:02and a body.

27:05However, sin disconnected us from God.

27:08When Jesus came back, and he hung on that cross,

27:11and his blood was shed, and he took those stripes,

27:15and he died on that cross,

27:17and then three days later he was resurrected,

27:20came back to life,

27:21he conquered the curse of sin, sickness, disease, poverty, and death.

27:26He conquered it all on our behalf.

27:29It's as if, as the word of God says,

27:31we were crucified with Christ and then resurrected

27:34or born again in a new nature, the nature of Christ Jesus.

27:39So what do I have to do, George?

27:41Well, 1 John 1 verse 9 tells us,

27:52Furthermore, if you look at the screen right now,

27:55you can see in Romans 10 verses 9 to 10,

27:59it is very clear and tells us that if you confess with your mouth

28:03the Lord Jesus, so you speak out loud,

28:08and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,

28:11you will be saved.

28:13Don't try and go somewhere and try to get yourself right

28:16and try to make things right before you come to God.

28:18Come as you are, the word of God tells you.

28:20Declare with your mouth the Lord Jesus,

28:23believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,

28:25and you will be saved.

28:26For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness,

28:29and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

28:33But then it doesn't end there,

28:35you can do that right now as you are listening to me.

28:38You can do that right now.

28:40All it takes is the matter of the heart.

28:43I mean, the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.

28:45All it takes is intention.

28:47You have to mean it.

28:49You have to want, desperately want God.

28:52And you just cry out to God in whatever words comes to you.

28:55You cry out to him, and you say,

28:57Lord, or you say, Jesus, if what this guy is saying,

29:02what his father and son is saying is true,

29:05I want you right now.

29:06I want you to come into my life.

29:07I don't want to live like this anymore.

29:09Come into my life.

29:10Be my Lord and Saviour.

29:11And I choose to believe, yes, because belief or faith,

29:15trust comes first with a choice.

29:18It requires a choice.

29:19It doesn't just fall there, and bam, you've got faith and trust.

29:23It's a choice.

29:24You take your first step, and then trust, faith grows.

29:28So as you put your faith, and you say, Lord, and I believe,

29:32I choose to believe that, God, that you rose Jesus from the dead in my place.

29:36Now use my life for your glory, Lord.

29:39But it doesn't stop there.

29:41Now I'm going to bring that verses up again.

29:43Why it doesn't stop there?

29:44Because God's got an amazing gift, which we Christians call the gift

29:49of the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire.

29:52And as you can see, the second verse is there on Titus 3, verse 5,

29:57Ephesians 2, verse 8, Acts 1, verse 8, and there's many more.

30:01It goes on to say, then he saves us.

30:03So you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus,

30:05believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,

30:08and you're saved.

30:09And then, because we are saved by grace through faith,

30:14the gift of God washing away our sins and giving us the new joy

30:19of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

30:21That is the baptism of Holy Spirit, and you will receive power.

30:25That is what will happen.

30:27So you will invite Holy Spirit to come and live inside of you,

30:30and you will come, and you will receive power when the Holy Spirit

30:33comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses telling people

30:36about me everywhere.

30:39So there is a purpose, a bigger purpose to life here on earth.

30:43Remember, as I said before, we are spirit beings.

30:46We have a mission, a commission, as the word of God tells us,

30:49here on earth, to conquer and go on conquering for the kingdom of God.

30:55It is not God's will that anyone should perish.

30:58Hell was not created for any created being in terms of humanity.

31:03It was not created for humanity.

31:05It was created for the devil and his demons.

31:07And God does not want anyone that should perish.

31:10This is your time.

31:11We're going to pray together.

31:12We're going to invite Holy Spirit to come to baptize us with fire,

31:17with his presence and with fire.

31:18When he comes, he doesn't just come upon you and you have a great,

31:22powerful experience.

31:23He will remain in you.

31:24You become the synagogue, the church, the body of Christ where he resides,

31:29the indwelling place where he will reside.

31:31And he will be with you at all times.

31:33He will comfort you.

31:34He will correct you.

31:35He will guide you.

31:36He will love you.

31:37He will do all those things through this wonderful adventure of life on earth.

31:42Amen?

31:43Are you ready?

31:44Let's do it.

31:46Lord, I thank you for this privilege to pray for my brother

31:48and sister that are watching.

31:49I thank you for their hunger and their thirst for the baptism of Holy Spirit.

31:54Lord, we are hungry.

31:55We are thirsty.

31:56We want you more and more.

31:58So right now, in union with my brother and my sister,

32:02we say come Holy Spirit, fill us from head to toe.

32:06Baptize us with fire.

32:08And fire represents authority, power, glory.

32:12Let your fire fall, Lord,

32:14a fire that cannot be quenched.

32:15For your word says that our God is a consuming fire.

32:18We say send fire, revival fire, Lord.

32:23Baptize us, Lord.

32:26And thank you, Holy Spirit, from this day forward that we walk after the spirit,

32:32not after the flesh.

32:34We live by faith, not by sight.

32:37In the mighty name of Jesus, amen and amen.
