that word crucified means to impale on Cross or to extinguish or subdue passion or selfishness and I think that's what we've got in our lives is a bunch of self-centered Christians and I'm talking me I'm I'm hitting me too we're so concerned with what we're doing we're not spending time with the Holy Spirit we've got the holy spirit in US and a lot of us are filled with the Holy Spirit baptized in the Holy Spirit but we're not putting it into action we're not communing with the one he's sitting there I just had this picture the Holy Spirit when we're saved when we're filled with Spirits just sitting there idle what is he supposed to do if we don't put him into action in our lives and the joy in that that's that's what really hit me the joy in that fruit of the spirit cheerfulness calm Delight gladness greatly joyful and I can just flat out say that doesn't show up in my life a whole lot and I have a long way to go and I can tell you it's not showing up in a lot of this church and we need to put it to practice we need to spend time with the Holy Spirit and get this fruit in our lives we're Spirit-filled church let's act like it well we could just say Amen right there and just going home with that one amen you know the Lord did through all worship this morning and I don't know why I'm using this whole habits we'll see come on this way all right I don't need that money um still going to share what I put on uh Blog Talk and Facebook this morning but kind of piggybacking on what my wife just shared with you and what I shared during worship and what the worship shared with us um there's several reasons why you need to fellowship with the Holy Spirit and and make sure let me let me put it this way you know the Bible talks about I think it's the last verse in First Corinthians very last verse talks about the communion of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit he is the one who gives us the power to live this life he's the one who teaches us he's the one who guides us he's the one who reveals the secrets he's the one who strengthens us he's the one who takes the things from from Jesus that we need and give them to us I mean that's that part of the Trinity that part of the godhead and we need him we need him but he
