Pastor Todd is rockin' it today. He reminds us from the recent series on the Fruit of the Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit that these all come from the Spirit who lives in us. We are not to derive or create these things in ourselves but rather it is the Spirit's job to produce them and then enable us to do the Kingdom work in this world.

He teaches us that the Church is supposed to be a powerful tool to overcome the evil in this world. We are not victims waiting to be rescued. We are already victorious over satan and his demons. We have been given divine authority and power through Christ for tearing down strongholds and every lofty thing that raises itself up against God.

The world does not need more "nice" Christian people. The world already has millions of nice people. The gospel is not primarily about being nice. Its not even about persuasive words of wisdom of people. It is about the demonstration of the Spirit and power of God. It's not about knowledge but it is about the supernatural power of God transforming people.

Why do I need the supernatural power of the Spirit to be a nice person? Why do I need the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit just to sit and wait for Jesus to come back?

Satan is convincing people in the church that they are victims in this world and need a govt to take care of them. Satan is confusing young people about who they are in their own bodies and confusing Christians about marriage and family. Satan is convincing the people of the world that Christians are haters and should have their mouths legally shut.

You've got to listen to this message. It is what all Christians need to hear today.
