Speaker 3: know they were for you. Thank God for the ability

59
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: to have fellowship with Him. Give thanks for the moments

60
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: when the Holy Spirit ministered into your life. Thank God

61
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,480

64
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,120

Speaker 3: to God and ask for his seal to be upon

69
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: your heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to increase your faith

70
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: in God's promises for your life. Ask him to increase

71
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: your trust in God's ability to come through for you.

72
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520

Speaker 3: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He

75
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: never changes. Jesus is your portion in the land of

76
