The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Allowing the Holy Spirit to Lead
Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Memorize these verses, rehearse these statements. If they ask this, you say that. Well, preparation is good . . . but sometimes people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit’s work in their lives. Listen on harvest.org --- Learn more and subscribe to Harvest updates at harvest.org .

Don't Make Deals With the Devil | Sunday Message
Sometimes we like to justify sin as a "little" sin, but that "little" sin can continue to grow until it takes us over. Pastor Greg Laurie addresses this issue in the Christian life, encouraging us not to give the devil even an inch. Notes: The devil is looking for vulnerabilities in our lives. The Bible tells us that Satan can take many forms: he can come in open wickedness as the devil of Hell and a fiery dragon, or he can masquerade as an angel of light. Read: Joshua 9:3–6 The spiritual battle never stops. You are being attacked because you are a threat to the devil and his kingdom. People come into the church and say they are seekers, but sometimes they are sneakers. Judas was an affective actor, and no one suspected he was the betrayer. Do not make deals with the devil; you will be the loser! “Don’t give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 If you give the devil an inch, he will take a mile! God can intervene if we have made a bad decision. Abortion is never an option … ever! We do not control what hand is dealt to us in life. We need to pray about things before we decide. Joshua 9:14 Always start with Scripture! God speaks to us through His peace. Colossians 3:15 God’s peace can act as an umpire in your life. Don’t be crippled by your past; learn from it! You cannot sell your soul; it’s not yours to sell. On the cross, Jesus broke all deals with the devil. Colossians 2:15 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Responding to the Holy Spirit
In our natural bodies, there are many things inside that keep us alive, although we’ve. never seen them. Antibodies, clotting agents, intestinal flora, white blood cells. Now, spiritually speaking, there are invisible forces at work that want to help us and save us, although other forces want to destroy us. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the work of God’s Spirit acquaints us with our sin, and acquaints us with our Savior. It’s important we know how to respond.

The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | What Does the Holy Spirit Show Us?
Few of us buy products to solve problems we don’t have. Why would you buy a flea collar if you don’t have a pet? But there are many people who have a problem they’re not yet aware of. They’re afflicted with the “good enough” syndrome. They’re convinced they’re good enough to get to heaven. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that the Holy Spirit shows us our sin, shows us its penalty, and shows us our need for a solution. It’s life-saving information.
