0:06 Eight words the Holy Spirit loves,
0:10 but most Christians never speak.
0:13 You speak a thousand words a day. You
0:18 pray. You sing. You even cry out to God.
0:19 But have you ever said the words the
0:22 Holy Spirit longs to hear? Not the
0:24 rehearsed ones. Not the polished,
0:27 picture perfect Christian phrases. I'm
0:29 talking about the raw, powerful,
0:31 heaven-shaking words that break chains,
0:34 open doors, and shift your soul into
0:38 alignment with God. Here's the truth.
0:40 The Holy Spirit isn't impressed by how
0:43 spiritual you sound. He's moved by how
0:45 surrendered you are. And there are eight
0:48 words he listens for. Eight words that
0:52 are simple but dangerous. Simple but
0:55 life-changing. Most Christians never say
0:57 them. Some are afraid to. Some don't
1:00 know they exist. And some are so used to
1:03 doing life on autopilot. They've
1:05 forgotten what intimacy with the spirit
1:08 even sounds like. But not you. Not
1:11 anymore. Because today we're going to
1:13 uncover the eight words the Holy Spirit
1:16 loves, but most Christians never say.
1:18 And once you start saying them, you'll
1:21 never go back to dry religion. You'll
1:24 never settle for casual Christianity.
1:27 You'll walk in power, in clarity, in
1:30 fire. Because when the Holy Spirit hears
1:33 these words, he moves. So get ready
1:35 because this message isn't just about
1:38 words. It's about unlocking a level of
1:40 relationship with the spirit that will
1:42 shake your life, your mind, and your
1:44 calling. Let's begin with the first
1:48 word. It's not deep. It's not long, but
1:50 it's the most dangerous prayer you'll
1:55 ever pray. Number one, yes, the doorway
1:58 to power. The Holy Spirit doesn't wait
2:00 for your perfection. He waits for your
2:02 permission. And that permission sounds
2:06 like one simple word. Yes. Before the
2:09 miracle comes the surrender. Before the
2:12 power, the permission, before the move
2:15 of God, there must be a willing heart.
2:18 The problem most Christians want to see
2:21 before they say yes. They want clarity
2:23 before obedience. They want comfort
2:26 before calling. But that's not how the
2:29 spirit works. The Holy Spirit moves in
2:31 those who say, "God, I don't need to
2:34 understand. I just need to obey." That's
2:37 what Mary said when the angel told her
2:39 she'd give birth to the Messiah. She
2:42 didn't demand a 5-year plan. She simply
2:45 said, "Let it be to me according to your
2:49 word." In other words, yes. That one
2:52 word launched heaven's greatest miracle
2:57 into earth. Isaiah said, "Here I am.
3:00 Send me." Not once I feel ready. Not
3:03 after I deal with my insecurities. He
3:06 simply said yes and stepped into
3:08 prophetic fire. When was the last time
3:11 you said yes without hesitation, without
3:14 needing the full plan, without asking
3:17 for guarantees? The Holy Spirit isn't
3:19 looking for talent. He's looking for
3:21 availability. He's looking for someone
3:25 who will say, "Yes, I'll go. Yes, I'll
3:28 forgive. Yes, I'll obey even when it's
3:32 hard." Because yes isn't just agreement.
3:35 It's surrender. It's saying, "Holy
3:38 Spirit, I won't resist you anymore." And
3:40 let me tell you, when you say yes to the
3:44 spirit, you're saying no to comfort, no
3:46 to control, no to a life that makes
3:49 sense to the world, but is powerless in
3:52 eternity. That's why most never say it.
3:55 But if you do, if you say yes with your
3:57 whole heart, you'll watch him move
4:00 through you in ways you never imagined.
4:03 Doors will open, chains will break,
4:05 gifts you didn't know you had will begin
4:08 to stir because the Holy Spirit responds
4:11 to one thing, a surrendered vessel. So,
4:13 here's the question. What's the yes
4:15 you've been holding back? Is it a
4:17 relationship he told you to walk away
4:20 from? A calling you've delayed? A
4:22 conversation you're scared to have? A
4:25 secret sin you haven't given up? The
4:27 spirit is waiting. Not for your
4:30 perfection, not for your strength, but
4:34 for your yes. So say it, whisper it,
4:37 shout it, say it before you feel ready.
4:39 Say it while your knees are shaking. Say
4:42 it like everything depends on it.
4:46 Because it does. Yes, Holy Spirit.
4:49 Whatever you want, I'm yours. That's
4:51 where power begins.
4:55 Number two, help. The word that opens heaven.
4:57 heaven.
5:00 Let's be honest. You like being strong.
5:02 You like looking like you've got it
5:04 together. You like praying bold prayers
5:07 that sound powerful and polished. But do
5:09 you ever stop and say this one small
5:11 word, help, because that's the word the
5:14 Holy Spirit is waiting for. You know
5:16 what Jesus called the Holy Spirit in
5:20 John 14? The helper. Not the observer.
5:23 not the backup plan, not the cheering
5:26 from the sideline spirit helper. But if
5:28 he's the helper, what does that make
5:30 you? That makes you the one who needs
5:33 help. And that's the problem. Most
5:35 Christians would rather impress God with
5:37 their strength than invite him into
5:40 their weakness. You keep trying to do it
5:43 all, carry the burden, fix the problem,
5:46 fight the battle, and still smile at
5:49 church. But behind the scenes, you're
5:52 exhausted. You're discouraged. You're
5:54 spiritually dry and too proud to admit
5:57 it. Why? Because help feels like
6:01 failure, like weakness, like defeat. But
6:04 in the kingdom of God, help is power.
6:07 It's humility that shakes heaven. It's
6:09 the door that opens for miracles to rush
6:12 in. Jesus didn't say, "Blessed are the
6:15 strong." He said, "Blessed are the poor
6:18 in spirit, those who know they don't
6:20 have what it takes and cry out for the
6:22 one who does." You don't impress the
6:25 spirit with long, loud prayers. You move
6:28 him with honest ones. The shortest
6:30 prayer Peter ever prayed was when he was
6:34 drowning. Lord, save me. That's it. No
6:39 monologue, no intro, just help. And
6:41 Jesus reached down and grabbed him
6:43 instantly. Some of you are sinking right
6:46 now. You're drowning in regret,
6:50 temptation, confusion, anxiety, and you
6:53 think you need a 10-step plan. No, you
6:57 need one word. Help. Holy Spirit, help
7:00 me forgive them. Help me resist this
7:03 sin. Help me say no to the flesh. Help
7:06 me love when I want to lash out. Help me
7:09 pray when I feel numb. You don't need to
7:11 figure it all out. You just need to
7:14 admit you can't do this alone. That's
7:17 when the spirit moves. So stop hiding.
7:20 Stop pretending. Stop trying to fix what
7:23 only heaven can heal. Say the word he's
7:26 waiting for. Help.
7:29 Number three, change. The invitation
7:32 that costs you everything.
7:34 Let's get real. You say you want God to
7:37 bless you, but do you want him to change
7:39 you? Because those are two very
7:42 different prayers. Bless me says God
7:46 make my life better. But change me says
7:49 God make me better even if it hurts. And
7:53 that's a dangerous prayer. Why? Because
7:55 it invites the Holy Spirit to do surgery
7:57 on your soul to cut out what's killing
8:00 you. To confront the habits you've
8:02 justified, to dig up the wounds you've
8:04 buried, to peel away the pride you've
8:07 worn like armor. But here's the truth.
8:09 The Holy Spirit isn't just your
8:12 comforter. He's your refiner. And if you
8:15 really want to walk in power, if you
8:17 want to carry the presence of God, then
8:20 something has to die in you. The fake,
8:23 the selfish, the secret sin, the
8:28 laziness, the envy, the unforgiveness,
8:30 the idol you keep hidden behind
8:32 spiritual talk. He doesn't just want to
8:34 fix your situation. He wants to
8:37 transform your character, but he won't
8:39 force it. The spirit waits for an
8:42 invitation. And the one word that opens
8:45 the door is change. Change me, Holy
8:49 Spirit. Not just my circumstances. Me.
8:52 Change how I think. Change how I talk.
8:55 Change what I crave. Change what I run
8:57 to when I'm stressed. Change what I
9:00 tolerate in myself. You'll never walk in
9:02 authority if you keep resisting
9:06 transformation. Romans 12:2 doesn't say
9:09 be blessed by the renewing of your mind.
9:13 It says be transformed. That means a
9:15 total overhaul, not behavior
9:19 modification, not religious activity.
9:22 Real deep change. But here's the
9:25 beautiful part. God never asks you to
9:28 change by yourself. He asks you to let
9:30 him do it through you. That's why the
9:33 Holy Spirit is in you. Not just to make
9:35 you feel good in worship, but to make
9:38 you holy in your walk. So don't just ask
9:41 for a better life. Ask for a new life.
9:44 Say the word. Say it through tears. Say
9:47 it while still struggling. Say it like
9:50 your soul depends on it. Because it
9:53 does. Change me, Holy Spirit. And then
9:56 watch what happens.
9:59 Number four, lead. The word that takes
10:02 your hand off the wheel. Most Christians
10:04 want God's direction, but they don't
10:08 want his leadership. Let that sink in.
10:11 You pray for clarity. You ask for signs.
10:14 You say, "God, guide me." But what you
10:16 really mean, God, show me the safest
10:19 route that still lets me stay in
10:21 control. But the Holy Spirit is not your
10:24 consultant. He's your leader. And if
10:26 you're going to follow him, you don't
10:29 just need a breakthrough. You need to
10:31 give up the driver's seat. Lead is not a
10:36 casual word. It's a costly one. It means
10:39 I'll go where you say, even if I don't
10:41 understand. I'll stay when you tell me
10:44 to. Even when I'm frustrated, I'll
10:46 release what you ask. Even when it
10:49 hurts. That's what Jesus meant when he
10:52 said, "If anyone wants to follow me, let
10:55 him deny himself. Take up his cross and
10:59 follow." Follow, not negotiate, not
11:02 suggest, not question, follow. And
11:05 that's where most people hesitate. They
11:07 want the Holy Spirit to confirm their
11:10 plans, not rewrite them. But when you
11:13 truly say lead, you're giving him access
11:16 to reroute your life. To delay what you
11:18 wanted now. To close doors that look
11:22 perfect on paper. To tell you no, even
11:25 when your heart screams yes, but hear
11:27 me, he will never lead you where his
11:29 grace cannot keep you. David said in
11:33 Psalm 23, "He leads me beside still waters.
11:34 waters.
11:37 He leads me in paths of righteousness."
11:39 Why? Because you don't find peace or
11:42 purpose by leading yourself. You find it
11:46 when you let go and say, "Holy Spirit,
11:49 lead. Lead me in my career. Lead me in
11:52 my relationships. Lead me in my
11:55 decisions, even the small ones. Lead me
11:58 away from temptation. Lead me into
12:01 truth, even when it confronts me. Let
12:03 this be the word that governs your day.
12:07 Not God bless what I'm doing, but God
12:09 lead me to what you're blessing. There's
12:11 no safer place than under his
12:15 leadership. So say it and mean it. Lead,
12:18 Holy Spirit. I'll follow no matter the cost.
12:20 cost.
12:24 Number five, search the word that
12:27 exposes and heals. You can fool people.
12:30 You can fool yourself, but you can't
12:33 fool the Holy Spirit. He sees the heart,
12:36 not the highlight reel, not the mask you
12:38 wear at church. Not the performance you
12:42 put on for others. He sees it all. The
12:44 bitterness behind the smile, the secret
12:48 envy, the quiet pride, the hidden sin
12:50 that you've learned how to manage but
12:54 never repented of. And yet, he waits not
12:57 to condemn you, but to heal you. But
13:00 here's the thing, he doesn't barge in.
13:03 He waits to be invited. And that
13:06 invitation sounds like this. Search me.
13:10 David prayed it in Psalm 139. Search me,
13:14 oh God, and know my heart. Test me and
13:16 know my anxious thoughts. See if there
13:19 is any offensive way in me. That's not a
13:22 polite passive prayer. It's dangerous.
13:25 It's raw. It's real. Because when you
13:28 say search, you're handing God the
13:30 flashlight. You're giving him permission
13:33 to go into the rooms of your heart that
13:36 you've kept locked for years. The places
13:38 where trauma still lives. The thoughts
13:41 you're too ashamed to speak out loud.
13:43 The idols you secretly love more than
13:45 him. The wounds you pretend don't hurt
13:49 anymore. But listen closely. God can't
13:51 heal what you keep hidden. The spirit
13:55 doesn't do surface work. He goes deep.
13:57 He roots things out. He exposes not to
14:00 shame you but to set you free.
14:03 Conviction is a gift. It's not an
14:05 attack. It's proof that the spirit is
14:08 still speaking to you. So say the word.
14:11 Search me, Holy Spirit. Look into my
14:15 motives. Look into my desires. Pull up
14:18 what doesn't belong. Let him shine light
14:20 on your shadows. Because freedom doesn't
14:23 come from ignoring your sin. It comes
14:25 from surrendering it. And that starts
14:28 with one word. Search.
14:31 Number six, speak. The word that turns
14:34 religion into relationship.
14:36 Let me ask you a question. When was the
14:38 last time you heard the Holy Spirit
14:41 speak? Not just a sermon, not a Bible
14:44 verse you read out of duty, but a
14:47 whisper, a nudge, a moment where heaven
14:49 interrupted earth and made your heart
14:52 burn. For many believers, it's been too
14:55 long. And for others, it's never
14:58 happened. But here's the truth. The Holy
15:01 Spirit still speaks. The problem isn't
15:03 that he's silent. The problem is that
15:06 most Christians never ask. We talk at
15:09 God. We beg him to move. We cry out for
15:12 answers. But we never pause and say one
15:16 simple word, speak. This isn't a passive
15:19 request. It's a posture. It's a
15:21 declaration that says, "I'm done
15:24 talking. I'm ready to listen. 1 Samuel
15:27 3:10. Young Samuel hears his name in the
15:30 night and responds, "Speak, Lord, for
15:32 your servant is listening." That
15:35 sentence changed his life. He didn't ask
15:38 for blessing. He didn't demand a
15:40 breakthrough. He just said, "Speak." And
15:43 the spirit answered. The same God who
15:45 spoke creation into being. The same
15:48 spirit who whispered to Elijah in a
15:50 still small voice. The same presence
15:53 that spoke to the early church still
15:55 speaks today, but only if you're willing
15:58 to listen. The problem is we're drowning
16:03 in noise, social media, news, opinions,
16:06 podcasts. You've got everyone's voice in
16:10 your ears except his. And yet when you
16:13 finally say speak, you're giving the
16:15 Holy Spirit permission to interrupt your
16:18 patterns, to override your assumptions,
16:19 to break through the fog of your
16:23 routine. He may convict, he may comfort,
16:26 he may challenge or confirm, but he will
16:29 speak because his sheep still know his
16:32 voice. And listen, if you don't train
16:34 your ears to hear him in the quiet,
16:37 you'll miss him in the chaos. So today,
16:39 stop filling the silence.
16:42 Let God fill it. Before you move, say
16:47 speak. Before you decide, say speak.
16:51 Before you preach, post, or plan, say
16:55 speak. Then be still. Be quiet. Be
16:57 ready. Because when the Holy Spirit
17:01 speaks, everything changes.
17:04 Number seven, break. The word that
17:07 brings freedom through surrender.
17:10 Nobody wants to say this word. It's
17:13 uncomfortable. It's costly. It doesn't
17:15 sound victorious. But it's one of the
17:18 most powerful words you can ever pray.
17:22 Break. We love to say, "Use me, God.
17:26 Bless me, God. Open doors, God." But
17:29 break me, that's different. That's a
17:31 prayer of surrender. That's what someone
17:34 prays when they're done playing it safe,
17:36 done pretending they're strong, done
17:40 holding on to idols, pride, and unhealed
17:43 pain. And let me tell you, God does his
17:46 best work with broken things. The bread
17:48 didn't multiply until Jesus broke it.
17:50 The perfume didn't pour until the jar
17:53 was broken. And you won't walk in true
17:56 power until your pride is shattered and
17:58 your heart is laid bare. Because the
18:00 Holy Spirit can't fill what you won't
18:02 empty. Most Christians want to be used
18:05 greatly, but few are willing to be
18:08 broken deeply. But if you say this word,
18:10 if you give the spirit permission to
18:13 break what needs to be broken, he will.
18:15 He'll break the lies you've believed for
18:18 years. He'll break the patterns of sin
18:20 you've made peace with. He'll break the
18:22 pride that keeps you from apologizing.
18:24 He'll break the fear that's kept you
18:26 silent when you should have spoken
18:31 truth. And yes, it might hurt. Yes, it
18:33 might cost you friends, comfort, and
18:36 false security. But it will give you
18:40 something greater. Freedom, clarity,
18:43 fire, and anointing. Because only the
18:46 broken can carry the oil. Psalm 51:17
18:49 says, "The sacrifices of God are a
18:52 broken spirit, a broken and contrite
18:56 heart. Oh God, you will not despise. You
18:58 want to be near to God. Let him break
19:02 you, not to harm you, but to heal you,
19:05 not to shame you, but to shape you, not
19:08 to crush you, but to crown you." So stop
19:11 praying for easy. Pray for real. Pray
19:14 for transformation. and say the word the
19:18 spirit has been waiting for. Break me.
19:21 Number eight, more. The word that
19:24 unlocks heaven's river. If there's one
19:26 word the Holy Spirit never gets tired of
19:29 hearing, it's this. More. Not more
19:32 stuff. Not more comfort, not more
19:36 success, just more of him. You were
19:38 never designed to live on yesterday's
19:41 encounter, yesterday's revelation,
19:44 yesterday's fire. But too many believers
19:46 are living on stale bread, going through
19:49 the motions, calling it maturity, when
19:52 it's really just spiritual complacency.
19:55 But the Holy Spirit is drawn to hunger,
19:58 not performance, not perfection, not how
20:01 long you've been in church, just raw,
20:04 desperate, real hunger. Jesus said in
20:07 Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who
20:09 hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
20:11 they shall be filled." Did you catch
20:15 that? Hunger comes first. You want to be
20:19 filled? Ask for more. Crave more. Cry
20:21 out for more. Because there's always
20:24 more of God to know, more of his
20:26 presence to experience, more of his
20:29 power to walk in, more of his word to
20:33 devour, more boldness, more love, more
20:36 fire. The early church didn't just pray
20:38 for revival. They lived in a constant
20:41 state of spiritual thirst. They didn't
20:45 settle. They prayed, fasted, worshiped,
20:48 repented, preached, and laid hands on
20:50 the sick because they wanted more of
20:53 heaven invading earth. Somewhere along
20:55 the line, we lost that. We became
20:58 satisfied with good sermons and decent
21:02 music. We stopped contending. We stopped
21:05 craving. But listen to me. You were
21:07 created for deep intimacy with the
21:10 spirit. Not shallow religion, not Sunday
21:13 only faith. Not a prayer life limited to
21:16 emergencies. You were made to burn, but
21:19 fire needs fuel, and that fuel is your
21:22 hunger. So ask him, "More of you, Holy
21:25 Spirit. More than I've known, more than
21:28 I've felt, more than I've ever dared to
21:32 ask. Ask until the tears come. Until the
21:34 numbness breaks, until the atmosphere
21:37 shifts. Because if you're not desperate
21:40 for more, you'll settle for less. Don't
21:43 live a barely get by Christian life.
21:44 When rivers of living water are
21:47 available, don't stop where it's safe.
21:50 Push past comfortable. Step into
21:55 overflow. It starts with one word, more.
21:58 Conclusion. The words that unlock
22:01 everything. So now you've heard them.
22:05 Eight simple words, but each one a key
22:07 that unlocks something supernatural.
22:13 Yes. Help. change, lead, search, speak,
22:17 break, more. These aren't just words.
22:20 They are invitations. They are weapons.
22:23 They are open doors into deeper intimacy
22:25 with the Holy Spirit. And yet, most
22:27 Christians will live their entire lives
22:30 without ever fully saying them. Not
22:32 because they don't love God, but because
22:34 they're afraid of what these words
22:36 require. Because these words don't just
22:39 ask for a moment. They ask for your
22:42 whole life. But you, you're different.
22:44 You're not here to play it safe. You're
22:46 not here for dry religion or shallow
22:49 faith. You're here to walk in the
22:52 fullness of what God created you for. So
22:57 say them out loud, in private, in your
23:00 car, on your knees. Say them when it
23:03 hurts. Say them when it's quiet. Say
23:05 them when the room is dark and you're
23:10 not sure what's next. Yes. Help, change,
23:15 lead, search, speak, break, more. Let
23:17 these be the rhythm of your prayer life.
23:20 Let these be the words heaven hears from
23:22 your lips every day. Because the Holy
23:25 Spirit isn't drawn to performance. He's
23:28 drawn to surrender. And if you give him
23:31 your words, he'll give you his power. If
23:33 you give him your heart, he'll give you
23:36 his fire. And if you give him your whole
23:38 life, he'll give you more than you ever
23:41 dreamed. Say the words and then live them.
