The video 3 from The Holy Spirit series discusses the importance of repentance and acknowledging our sinful nature. It begins with a reading of Luke 18:9-14, which tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector praying in the temple. The key takeaway is that the tax collector, who acknowledged his sinfulness and humbled himself before God, was justified. This serves as a reminder for us to recognize our own sinfulness and the need for forgiveness and cleansing.

The video also discusses the deceitful and wicked nature of the human heart, as described in Jeremiah 17:9. This sinful condition is something we need to acknowledge and understand in order to truly repent.
The speaker mentions the experience of Paul, who thought he was serving God by persecuting Christians until he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. This highlights the need for personal revelation and conversion.
The video emphasizes the importance of daily repentance and acknowledging our sinfulness. It warns against adopting a worldly mindset and compromising with sin. The speaker also calls for a revival of righteousness and faith in the church.
The message concludes with a reminder that God’s grace is available to all who sincerely seek it. The speaker encourages listeners to have a living faith in Christ and to strive for holiness in their daily lives.
