We're thankful for it tonight, but Romans chapter number eight this evening, and look with me at verse number one. As we continue our study on the book of Romans, and through the book of Romans, as we look at this idea of justification by faith, remember there is no word in our English language to righteous somebody, but that process or that way in which we are made righteous before God is through justification by faith through Christ, and we're thankful for that tonight. preacher when did that happen when did I am I am I getting justified am I in that process now am I in a waiting period am I in my own probation preacher no the moment you got saved by the grace of God you were justified before God through Christ and now we're gonna look at it this evening And I got in a chuckle, and I was reading through some commentaries before service, and I was reading what we'll be preaching through tonight, and just, I remember they were on my show, I said, let me see what these fellas got to say. And one fella said, this is a very confusing portion of scripture. I was like, we read the same thing? And then he started breaking down all these different words for the word flesh, and all the different words for the word spirit, and he was saying a whole lot of stuff I didn't understand, and so I just shut the book, amen? And I don't wanna be that smart, amen. I'm gettin' it, so I wanna stay where I'm gettin' it at tonight, amen. But look at Romans 8, verse 1 tonight, we'll read down to verse number 10, and just continue into the study of the Bible. So there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. We could just stop there, shout hallelujah for about two hours, and rejoice in the fact there is no condemnation, right? We're thankful for that, which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Now, there's got to be a clarifying statement that we're gonna make there in just a few moments, because some have taken that out of context. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, and that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh. But they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, And to be spiritually minded is life in peace. Because the carnal mind is entity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. I think Hebrews says something along the line, without faith it is what? Impossible to please God. Verse number nine, for we are not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin. But the spirit is life because of righteousness. Let's pray tonight. Heavenly Father, we thank you again for this evening. Thank you for another opportunity, Lord, to simply come together, to fellowship together, Lord, to talk to one another, Lord, cut up and just enjoy each other's company, but Lord, also, Lord, to sing songs of praise and worship to you, Lord. We're thankful that, Lord, mercy did walk into our life, Lord, and your mercy changed our life, and it endures forever. It's new every morning. We thank you, Lord, that you're always faithful, Lord. You've made the promise that you'll never leave us nor forsake us. Lord, even when we turn our back, even when we walk away, Lord, you still walk with us. We thank you for that tonight, Lord, that we are not alone. Lord, David said even if we had to go all the way down to hell, Lord, you'd go there with us, and I'm thankful for that tonight, Lord. And I pray, Lord, tonight as we get into the book of Romans, Lord, you help these truths to become, Lord, elevated in our life, become, Lord, not just good things that we've heard, but God, truths that we live by, that God, we'd get up tomorrow morning, Lord, in our heart, in our soul, knowing that there is therefore now no condemnation, and Lord, that you've changed us completely and totally, Lord, and because of Christ, Lord, we stand justified before a thrice holy God undeserving God unworthy of it but Lord yet the reality is tonight that's what we are and that's who we are in Christ would help us to live our Christian life by not what we think or by not what our opinion is by not what others say but gone by how your word teaches us and tells us who we really are would help us to live our true identity in Christ tonight well we love you We thank you in Jesus' name we pray, amen and amen. Romans chapter number 8, now this is coming on after Romans chapter number 7 where in Romans chapter number 7 almost 50 times you hear the word I, me, and my. And we talked about this last week how there's that great struggle there in Romans chapter number 7 between I, me, and my. And really, what's the outcome? It comes down there in verse number 24, where Paul says, O wretched man that I am. In essence, Paul said, when I look at the best of my abilities, when I look at all of my strengths and all of my education, all of my know-how and knowledge, he said, all of my ability, I come to this conclusion, O wretched man that I am. Now, I enjoy biblical numerology and all that good stuff, but Romans chapter number seven, number seven's the number of completeness, a perfected or finished work tonight, and man in his completeness, oh, wretched man that I am. The best of men, the best of women, the best of human beings are wretched men at best. That is their completed work. That is what the highest that they can achieve by themselves. But thanks be to God, Romans chapter number seven doesn't end the book. There's Romans chapter number eight. Eight is the number of new beginnings. And I'm thankful for the day that there was a new beginning in my life. When I got saved by the grace of God and everything changed. See Romans chapter number seven is I, me and my almost 50 times. Romans chapter number eight almost 20 times is the Holy Spirit of God being spirit led and spirit filled and being used and following after the Holy Spirit of God. And can I say that changes everything. Romans chapter number eight is a glorious chapter in your Bible. It is a wonderful chapter, I would strive And as we're going through this, to get in the habit, it wouldn't hurt you to read Romans chapter number eight for every day for the rest of your life. It is a blessing. It is a wonderful chapter. It starts with no condemnation. It ends with no separation. And in between those two is no defeat. It is a glorious, a victorious chapter of our Bible tonight, and we can see why, because when we allow ourselves and we make the choice tonight to be spirit-led, to yield over to the Holy Ghost of God tonight, that is how you live the victorious Christian life. No, preacher, I gotta get smarter, I gotta get bigger, I gotta get better, I gotta be the best. No, your best is, oh, wretched man. But when you learn to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit of God, you will live the Christian life the way that God designed for it to be lived. And so tonight, for a few moments, we're gonna preach on this thought, therefore now. Right, therefore now. And what we're gonna say about this, let's start at the beginning and see some wonderful truths that greet us in Romans chapter eight. First of all, we're greeted with a reality, or the reality. Verse number one, the Bible says, therefore. Right there in verse one, there's therefore, and I've said this before, anytime you find the word therefore, figure out what it's there for. Figure out why it's there, and it's a reference to the previous chapter where we see the sinfulness of man, we see the struggles of man, we see the flesh of man. We see that battle that every believer is going to fight with their flesh. Boy, how many of you know, if you just got rid of your flesh, we're not talking about your skin and bones, we're not talking about your hair on your head, because some of y'all have lost that. Some of that has disappeared for y'all. But the reality is that we're talking about that fleshly, that carnal nature that we have. Boy, if we could just get rid of that thing, wouldn't things be easier? If you didn't have a flesh, if you didn't have carnality, carnal nature tonight, temptation wouldn't bother you. If you didn't have a flesh tonight, you would always react in the right way. Your first reaction would be your best reaction. But have us know tonight that our first reaction, mark it down, just go to number two. Because normally our first one is not a spiritual reaction. And so therefore, Romans chapter eight is referencing Romans chapter number seven on yes, Romans seven, I'm a wretched man, but there is still the possibility and even the reality of living a Christian life that is victorious and full of victory in Christ tonight. And so therefore, it's taking us back there now. That means at this moment. Right now. If your mama hollered for you and said, come downstairs right now, she wasn't saying 30 minutes from now, she wasn't saying at your convenience, when you want to, you better get down there at this moment. Notice here, Paul is telling these Roman believers that right now, in their Christian life. I'm glad tonight for the promise of heaven. I'm thankful for that as my eternal home. I can't wait to experience it. I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to lay my eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. I can't wait to hear his voice. I can't wait to see the nail-pierced hands in his side. I can't wait to see him on his throne. But thanks be to God, I don't have to wait to heaven to enjoy the Christian life right now at this moment. God designed this thing that you might enjoy it right now. Let me ask you, are you? Are you right now? A lot of Christians I've found out either live in the past or live in the future. Well, preacher, I'll tell you, the church just ain't like it used to be 50 years ago, and it's not. I'll tell you what, preacher, if you'd have just been alive back then, back there during the 40s and the 50s and the 60s and the 70s, preacher, in the 80s, you would have seen something else. Well, here's the, I wasn't. I was born in the 1900s, but it was in the last decade of the 1900s. But somebody lived back there. I remember meeting a man, and he told me all these things he did 20 years ago. He said, man, I preached, and when I got done preaching, the altars were full up three times back, and people were getting right with God, and I said, well, what are you doing right now? and it was silence. And so many live back, let me tell you what I used to do, preacher, and so many long for heaven, and no doubt we can tonight, but can I say the life that you live right now, God has designed it to be lived in victory. God has designed it to be lived in such a way that you don't have to wait or don't have to just think about it. You can enjoy the life that God has for you right now. That is the reality. Therefore now, at this very moment, there is what? No condemnation. Right now at this moment, and it always encourages me, it reminds me the reality of God's word tonight, is that when I get to heaven, I'm not waiting to see if God's gonna sentence me or not. I've already been forgiven. Right now at this moment, there is no condemnation in my life. What does that mean? What does that long C word mean? It means that there is no judgment against us. There is no judgment that is putting us away. Well preacher, how can that be right now? I'm still battling my flesh, I'm still struggling with my carnal nature. How can there not be any condemnation against me because what? Look at verse 11, I said we are in who? Christ Jesus. Let me ask you tonight, is there any, does God the Father have any judgment against God the Son? No, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. Right, the Father loves the Son, and our justification has never been about what we can do. It is the fact of what Christ has already done, and what Christ did for us, and since we are in Christ, I remember that preacher telling, he did an illustration, he took that big red blanket, threw it over himself, and he said, when God looks at me, this is all that he sees, is the blood of Jesus Christ. And we are in Christ tonight, and since we are in Christ right now, at this moment, here's the thing, once you're in, you can't get out. And the reality is, once I got in, I don't wanna get out. Right, this is the greatest thing that I've ever experienced. It's the greatest thing I will ever experience. I want everybody to know that I know, to know what I have in Christ and who I am in Christ and I am justified. And if you're in Christ tonight, you too are justified and there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus tonight. But notice this in verse number one. This, that's the reality. That's not up for debate. At this moment, right now, if you're in Christ, there is no condemnation. God has no judgment against you. He is not, you're in Christ, let me take you out and pluck you off and throw you out. There is no condemnation in Christ. But notice in verse number one, the Bible said, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. And there are some who've taken that portion of scripture way out of context. who says if you don't keep it, if you don't maintain it, if you don't, if you ever take a step towards the flesh, well then you're not in Christ no more. Can I say tonight, that's not what the Bible teaches. It is not saying that we can lose our salvation. It is not saying tonight that we can walk away from God and lose it all tonight. Once you're in Christ, you're in Christ tonight. But what is, so what is verse number one saying then, preacher? Those who walk, the reality is that there is no condemnation. If you and I choose to neglect that reality and walk after the flesh to live carnally, to live sinfully, to live with our flesh ruling and reigning in our life, we will not enjoy that reality. In essence, it's not that we lose our salvation, we just live the unvictorious Christian life in that sense. We live the life that is produced when we live by our flesh and by our carnal nature tonight. And not the one that we could live if we lived with that reality and allowed that reality to govern us and allowed us to live and walk after the spirit of God tonight. So notice from one, the choice to enjoy this reality really is up to us. If we walk after the flesh, we'll not enjoy this life, we'll endure our wretchedness and our filthiness and our fleshliness. If we walk after the spirit, we'll enjoy this reality. Talk about liberating. One of the greatest secrets I ever learned in the Christian life, and it ought not to be a secret, it ought to be preached to every person that's ever been alive, is that the secret of the Christian life is not you living it, it's allowing Christ to live it in you, and living it through you tonight. So the reality is, there is right now no condemnation. Be good right there in your Bible right now, I am not condemned. I am not condemned, because there's gonna come a time when Satan comes into you and he's gonna remind you everything you've done and everything you've did and what you thought about, what you said, those thoughts that came across your mind while you was praying, those ideas that popped into your head while the preacher was preaching, he's gonna remind you all of that. He's gonna tell you all these things, how God is mad at you, how God is upset with you, how God has done with you. Take it to Romans chapter number eight, verse number one, it said, right now there is now therefore no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Preacher, I tell you what, I'm just gonna think my way out of it. No, the only way you defeat the attacks of Satan or not is through Scripture. Jesus was tempted three times and Jesus said, it is written. Preacher, why you always harping on memorizing Scripture? Why you always harping on reading our Bibles? Why you always harping on studying our Bibles? Why you always harping about getting in the Word of God, developing a relationship with the Word of God? Because it is not just our attack, it's also our defense. God has said is the greatest defense you have against Satan. Not your experience, not your emotions, not your what everybody else is doing, but God's word is our greatest defense against Satan. But notice here, number one, and that was the reality. There is therefore now no condemnation. Then notice number two tonight, we see the reasoning. We see the reasoning, verses two and three tonight. Oh, well, preacher, how is there no condemnation? And how do we live this life? What is the reason for it? Look at verse number two, for the law of the spirit of life. Christ Jesus, have made me free from the law of sin and death. For the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh." Now the law of the Spirit is governed by the law or the life of Christ. Now he has resurrection life, he had a resurrected life, everlasting life, eternal life. If you have that life tonight, if the life that Christ has is the same life that you had tonight, then you've been freed from the law of sin and death. That's why as a Christian, right, we are not afraid of death. We may have our preferences. We may have the way that we want to go. If I'm gonna go, I'd like to go this way. But the reality is, that's just the means to the end, so to speak. In essence, we are not afraid of death. I'm not afraid of dying. Yes, I understand I've got a family that loves me. I've got a church that loves me. And I've got friends that love me. And I've got responsibilities that are going to have to be figured out. And I've got things that are going to be All those kind of loose ends tied up, all that good stuff. But notice this, if you get the report tonight that Brother Tate Wagner has passed away, I'm not afraid. I know where I'm going tonight because of what Christ has done for me. In essence, that is the reality that we live our life with. If you have that life, you've been freed from the law of sin and death. The moment that Christ came into your heart, the moment that you asked Jesus Christ to save you, and now the Holy Spirit of God dwells inside of you, do you realize everything changed? Everything changed. You no longer have to live the life that you want. You've been freed from that. Up until then, you couldn't do anything about it. Up until then, your best efforts would always fall short. But now there's new power in your life. There's new life in your life. There's new direction in your life. And Christ enables you and gives you now the power to live and to be free from sin in death. For the first time in your life, because the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, you now have the opportunity to say no to sin. And it's not you that has the power to do it, it is Christ in you. which is your hope of glory tonight, but everything changed. I like that hymn song. I went back and forth on whether or not to sing it tonight, but it's that hymn song, I'm in a new world. Right, old things have passed away. Behold, all things are new. Ever since that happy day, he opened up my blinded eyes that I had a great surprise. I'm in a new world since the Lord saved me. The reality is that there's no condemnation. Here's the reason Jesus saved us. Right, we're in Christ tonight. Now, verse number three, Paul reiterates, he's in essence, if he was from Hepsalute, he'd have said it this way, don't get it twisted. The law didn't do this for you and I. The law did not justify us. The law didn't do this. Notice this in verse number three, the Bible says, for what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh. Now, there's nothing wrong with the law. Our flesh was just too weak. We couldn't keep the law. We couldn't satisfy the law. We didn't have the ability to completely, totally satisfy God's law. Why? It requires perfection. And I'd hate to break it to some of y'all, you ain't perfect. and neither am I tonight. In my flesh, therefore, me, in essence, is the source of weakness. And the reality is, God did not establish the law to justify man. It was put into place so that man would know their need of a savior, and that they could not justify themselves. And you run into people, here's the thing, this makes sense to us, it makes sense to me tonight. It's clear cut, it's like, I don't see any other way that you could see this, and yet we know people who, whatever the reason may be tonight, are striving to live the law in a way to please God. And it's like, it doesn't work that way. Boy, if I could just grab my Bible and hit you in the head with it and you'd get it, I wish I could do that. But that would just put me in jail. Preacher beats someone in the head with the Bible. Why? He just wouldn't get it. But don't get it twisted. The law didn't do this. The law was perfect. We just couldn't keep it. So what did God do? God sending his own son. He sent the one who could fulfill the law, the one who was perfect, the one who had no blemish, had no faults. The Bible said, in the likeness of sinful flesh. In essence, tonight, yes, Jesus looked like you and me. He took on the flesh of man tonight, but he did not take on the sinful nature of man. Christ knew no sin. And you get around some people who try to say that Christ had a sin nature, run far from them. Because they're denying the deity of Christ. And anybody, listen, the Bible doesn't have good things to say about people who deny Christ. So I'd stay far away from them tonight. So what did he send him in the likeness? He came in the flesh yet without sin and for sin, not his own but ours. Right, he bore in his body. He was bruised not for his iniquities but ours. By his stripes we are healed. Those stripes he took for you and I. We are healed tonight. So we send the Son of Lightness to sin flesh and for sin, and condemn sin in the flesh, to judge against sin. And so we see tonight, here's the reason why you and I, there's now therefore no condemnation because of what Christ did for us. So we see the reality tonight, we see the reasoning tonight, then finally we see the result tonight. Look with me at verse number four, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. That's that same phrase we find in verse number one, that this is possible to every believer, to enjoy this, to experience this, but the conditional statement, if you wanna say it that way, is if we walk after the spirit. Now, you get saved by the grace of God, choose not to serve and follow the Lord, let the Spirit guide your life. Listen to that, the Bible said there's some that are saved so as by fire. They got in with no rewards and no works or anything like that, but salvation's never been about what you and I can do, it's putting our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what he has done for us. But we see in verse number four tonight, what is the result of the law, right? That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us. Well, we just said we couldn't do it. We couldn't fulfill it. We couldn't solve it. We couldn't keep it. We couldn't do it perfectly. And yet, because of what Christ has done for us, the righteousness, the reward tonight, the result of the law being fulfilled is in us tonight. When we walk after the spirit of God, when we become what is called a spirit-led Christian, right, that rejoicing, that peace, that the state that we are in with God tonight, the peace that we have with God is enjoyed when we walk in the spirit. Look at verse number five. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh. In essence, tonight, there's no such thing as a carnally-minded Christian doing spiritual things. In essence of that, when you allow your flesh, you allow your sinful nature to control, that's what you're gonna mind. That's what you're gonna go after. That's what you're gonna pursue after. And here's the thing, oftentimes our mind goes to the extreme, right? Well, if I think about that, I'm gonna go murder somebody. It may never get that far. I pray that it never does. I'm gonna go rob a bank. Please don't. It may never get that far, but our mind goes to the extreme. If I live for my flesh, I'm gonna go do those things. A lot of times living for our flesh is as simple as getting our eyes on the wrong thing. Getting our focus and our goals set on the wrong stuff. Getting everything around us and our mind is just focused on temporal things. I have to remind myself that this world I'm living in, it ain't home. I'm just a pilgrim passing through. What I have down here is just on loan. It's not mine, it's the Lord's anyways. If he wants me to have something greater, he'll give me something greater. I'm okay with that. And if not, I'll take what I have, and I'll put a big smile on my face, because I'm still going to heaven either way. Notice here tonight, the Bible said, verse number five, but if we mind the things of the flesh, well, we're gonna go after the flesh. Right there after flesh, mind the things of the flesh, but there after the spirit, the things of the spirit. That makes a lot of sense. I love the Bible because the Bible makes Christianity rather simple. Now, I'm not saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's not the struggle of your life, but it makes it rather simple. If I mind the Spirit of God and I allow the Spirit of God to lead me and guide me, if I allow this book to be my parameters, my guidebook, my guidelines, my direction, my map, if I allow it to be what God designed it to be, interesting thing will happen. I'll go after the spiritual things. But if I let my flesh rule, well, I'm gonna go after fleshly things. Now, how many would say that makes a lot of sense, preacher? That's rather simple. But notice here in verse number five or six this morning, to be carnally minded is what? Death. Well, if you know that's the outcome, why would you pursue it? You know, it's kind of like getting a pet. You know, sooner or one day, that thing is gonna pass away. Well, preacher, I don't do good with that. Well, it might be a good thing not to get one then. Because if you don't have one, well, then you don't have to deal with it. Be like Miss Raelynn, when she was younger, her fish and her dog died on the same day. I remember coming home from work and she was just in the corner crying. I was like, me being graceful father, merciful father, well, it happens to every animal. Amen. I didn't know what to say, and so I just said the first thing that came to my mind. Not the right thing always. But notice here tonight, the Bible says that if we be carnally minded, the end result is death. Anything we pursue in the flesh and after the flesh, it does not produce life. It does not produce growth. It does not produce blessings. It produces death. But look at verse number six. To be spiritually minded is life and peace. That's why if you watch the news and it gets you all anxious and all antsy, it might be good to turn it off. Get in here. But preacher, I gotta know what the stock market's doing, why? Preacher, I gotta know what's going on in my community, I understand that. But does it bring you life and peace? That it only comes through a spiritually minded person tonight. And so we see that Christ satisfied the law. So how can we enjoy the rights of the law if the law condemned us? because we're in Christ. We're in Christ tonight. Well, that's what verse one said. Christ satisfied the law, and since we're in Christ, we get to enjoy the fullness, or the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us because we are in Christ tonight. But, again, it goes to that, if you're gonna live after the flesh, you're not gonna enjoy that reality. It'll be true in your life, and it'll be the result you ought to have, but you'll choose otherwise. However, when you choose to be spiritually led and led by the Holy Spirit of God, right? Verses seven through eight makes it real clear this, because the carnal mind is an entity against God. Anything your flesh has come up against, it's never been spiritual. You know, it's your flesh that tells you, ah, you don't need to read your Bible. You really think God's like, yep, you don't need to. No, I didn't go through all that trouble to get it written down and preserved in your language so you could read it, so just so you wouldn't read it. That's our flesh saying those things. Our flesh is always an enemy against God, for it is not subject to the law, neither indeed, so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. They that are in the flesh cannot please, in essence, we make fleshly decisions, God's not saying, well done, thou good and faithful servant. He was saying, you didn't have to choose that. You don't have to go down that way. You don't have to live that way. But verse number nine, but you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. If so, be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. In essence, when you got saved, did the Holy Spirit come in? Yes. I'm not a believer tonight, nor do I think the Bible teaches that when you get saved and then you receive the Holy Spirit later on. I believe the moment you got saved, the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you. And if he does tonight, then you can be spiritually led, led by the Spirit of God tonight. If he dwells in you, Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. In essence of that, if the Holy Spirit doesn't dwell inside of you, you're not one of his. They're three in one, one in the same. In essence of that, you can't say, well, just like I mentioned, that guy said, well, you know, I believe in God, but I don't pray through Jesus. They're three in one. Jesus himself declared that he is God, and he is God. If the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you tonight, then God dwells inside of you. But if you say, oh, preacher, I don't have the Holy Spirit, well, then you don't have God. They go hand in hand tonight. And so we see her tonight, but if he does tonight, and boy, how many tonight know the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you? Preacher, how do you know that? Because I know what conviction is. I still remember we were at camp this year, and Brother Ricky said, boys, y'all better listen. They made it on our video. Boys, y'all better listen. That conviction's a real thing. Well, that's a wonderful sign of the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you. And when he takes his word, he convicts you with it. Oh, it don't feel good. And sometimes I try to argue with it, but then I'm reminded that he's not doing it because he wants the worst for me, he's doing it because he wants the best for me. The Holy Spirit dwells inside of us tonight, then you have the ability and the power tonight to live a spiritual life. Verse number 10, if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. If Christ is in you, and you're in Christ tonight, We have the result that we can live the spiritual life. That we can live a life that is guided by the Holy Spirit. We can enjoy all that is mentioned here in verse, chapter number eight tonight. If we walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. You know the reality, you know the reason, but are you enjoying the results like you should be? Have you made the choice as a Christian to live the Spirit-led and Spirit-filled life tonight?
