Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with Coffee on Ice. I am your host, Allie Yost, and I am so excited to be here with you today.

to be back with you guys this week. Happy Friday, everybody. I hope that you had a good week. I hope that it's been productive. I hope that you've been able to spend some good time with the Lord as well. And yeah, I'm very interested to see how this episode goes today. I'm going to be honest, y'all. I spent some time with the Lord this morning and I was just

I actually wasn't even really asking him what we were gonna do today. I think I already felt confident that he would reveal that at some point. I was just seeking him. He then revealed to me what we were going to be doing. This is not going to be giving your traditional podcast episode

not only just for Christ with coffee on ice, but I feel like in general. This is just like not a thing, but the Lord, he loves to break boundaries. He loves to break through boxes and walls we may put on things. And so I believe he's challenging me

He's challenging me in this and he's asking if I will be obedient enough to do it. And so I said yes to him. So with that being said, I don't know for how long we're going to do this. I don't know if this is going to be for the entirety of the episode or not, but this isn't going to be the type of episode that you're going to be able to probably do your holy girl walk to or your commute in your car. This episode is going to be at least this portion that we're doing. You will have to be still.

You will have to be sitting still in a room somewhere alone with the door closed and you will have to just look at Jesus. So I believe that the Lord is inviting all of us into a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is crazy. He wants to baptize you guys in the Spirit.

I'm just the messenger, but that is what he's saying. And so whether you've been baptized in the spirit already, whether you have never been, or maybe you don't even know, and that's okay. I don't, you don't need to know. He wants to give you a fresh washing of his spirit. And so I'm just going to listen to him. I am going to do whatever he says and

And I'm just the middleman here. I'm just the translator, communicator. I am the vessel. But God wants to reach you. And he wants you to have a fresh, just awareness relationship with the spirit, the Holy Spirit, the spirit of God. So I think what I want to do, which we've never done this before either, but I feel that the Lord wants us to put on some soaking music.

Like some worship music in the background. I love to play it for whenever I'm just sitting with the Lord. It's totally okay to sit in silence with God. You don't always need to have something in the background. But he wants some soaking music in the background. And I'm going to just pray and just follow the Spirit and see what he does. So with that being said, I encourage everyone to sit down somewhere, whether it's on your bed or

on your floor and just get comfortable. Be comfortable. It doesn't have to be super formal, but he wants you to just be still and just sit in his presence.

This is gonna be fun. This is actually nothing to be nervous about. If there are people listening that are nervous, don't be. This is fun. God is fun. He's kind. And he just wants to hang out with you. So let's all close our eyes and let's just allow the spirit to clear our minds right now. All the busyness and all the things that we're thinking about, let's just allow him to shush everything. Thank you, Jesus.

Holy Spirit, I just ask you to come. God, I ask that you send your spirit and meet every listener where they're at. Every one of your children, God, I just ask that you reach them in this moment and they feel your spirit. Jesus, I ask that you fill every corner of this room. I pray for a peace to rest upon them, resting on your shoulders, resting on your chest. Jesus, Holy Spirit, come.

God, I ask for a heightening of awareness, just like a deeper feeling and awareness of your spirit. Jesus, Jesus. And just start calling out his name. Just say his name. Say Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Holy Spirit come.

Holy Spirit come rest on us wash over us Jesus Jesus our Savior your Savior

♪ Jesus ♪ ♪ Hey ♪ ♪ Come ♪ ♪ Jesus ♪ I feel that you're supposed to put your hands, like whether you're putting them in the air, whether you're resting them on your knees, but just put your hands up like facing heaven, facing the ceiling and receive, receive the spirit right now. Lord, I pray for open hearts.

I pray against the spirit of fear or uncertainty. God, I just pray for receiving hearts to just receive your spirit and your peace right now. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. And the spirit was moving over the water. Spirit, come move over us. Come rest on us.

Jesus

Thank you for your resurrection. Thank you for your resurrection. Thank you for your resurrection. Thank you. Thank you. Jesus, we need you. We need your spirit. Jesus, thank you.

We ask for a fresh baptism in the Spirit right now. In the Spirit right now. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Thank you for your resurrection. Jesus, come. Jesus.

i feel now that the lord wants you to tell him your biggest hopes and desires and dreams just in your relationship with him that there are things that you want to achieve there are versions of him that you want to see still there are sides

of his face that you still want to see. There's just things that you want to achieve in your journey with him. And so I feel the Lord wants you to say that out loud to him, even if it feels kind of silly, even if it feels like unachievable, even if you're feeling discouraged in these things, but he wants you to tell him and to just declare it out loud to him the things that you want to do with him.

And so I just encourage you to do that right now as we continue to receive his spirit and sit with him. He wants you to say that out loud. Jesus, Jesus.

Now you can get Cox Internet and one unlimited mobile line for $80 a month, all with Wi-Fi equipment included and no annual contract. If only getting it all was always that easy. Like having a night out. And getting a good night's sleep.

The Lord wants you to know that everything that you just said out loud to Him, all of the things that you want to achieve with Him, the relationship that you want to have with Him, the things that you want to do with Him in this lifetime, you can do.

and that everything can change right now. It actually is. I'm going to speak that in confidence, that your relationship with the Lord is just going to be different after this. That he's doing something in your heart right now, and that is why he wanted you to be still in this moment.

I also feel that he wants you to know he's really proud of the way that you have been seeking him. I just see, whether this is one person or if this is a few of y'all, but I see this visual of a young girl and her legs are crossed and she's sitting on her bed. And this is what you've been doing with the podcast. You've actually, like, you've been coming to class. You're like sitting down with your notepad and

and you have your binder or I don't know, you've got, you've a journal, you know, you have highlighters, pens, you have your Bible and you sit down and you learn every day and you come to class. Like this podcast is like class for you. And the Lord loves that so much. He just loves your dedication that you've already had, but there's something that he wants to ignite deeper in your soul and

And I believe that it's just a deepening of relation with just the spirit. Like he wants you to show, he wants you to see that there's more in the spirit. And so I believe that this is an opportunity for everyone listening to root deeper in the spirit of God.

tell him how much you love him i feel now in this moment that we're just supposed to pour out our adoration to the lord

As he's pouring out his adoration to us, we are also pouring it to him too.
