Not For Sale | Tim Timberlake

Series Title : Carried By The Wind Message Title : Not For Sale Main Scripture: Acts 8:16-19 (NASB) In this powerful message from Acts 8, we explore the story of Simon the Sorcerer and his attempt to purchase what only God can give. Through the contrast between surrender and self-promotion, we discover that the Holy Spirit is not for sale, God's power cannot be manipulated, and true spiritual authority flows from intimacy with Jesus—not influence, ambition, or personal gain. Whether you're waiting on God's timing, struggling with pride, seeking purpose, or learning to trust God's process, this message will challenge you to stop chasing power and start pursuing His presence. KEY TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Introduction: The Holy Spirit Is Not For Sale 05:00 — Why God Delayed the Holy Spirit in Samaria 09:29 — Point #1: If Influence Excites You More Than Intimacy, Power Has Become Your Idol 24:04 — Point #2: You Can Stop Serving Demons and Still Keep Serving Yourself 43:33 — Point #4: Be Aware of Wanting God's Power More Than God's Presence KEY TAKEAWAYS God's delays are often His protection, not His rejection. Influence without intimacy will eventually become idolatry. Real spiritual power flows to servants, not celebrities. You can leave your old life behind while still carrying old desires in your heart. The Holy Spirit cannot be purchased, manipulated, earned, or controlled He is received through surrender. FINAL THOUGHT Everything in culture is competing for your worship, your attention, and your allegiance. But because Jesus already paid the price for your life, you don't belong to the highest bidder—you belong to Him, and you are not for sale. #NotForSale #Acts8 #BookOfActs #HolySpirit #ChristianMotivation #FaithInJesus #BibleTeaching #ChristianYouTube #SermonClip #ChurchOnline #KingdomCulture #JesusChangesEverything #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #TrustGod #GodsTiming #SpiritualGrowth #FaithOverFear #Revival #jesusisking -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We go LIVE every Sunday at 8:50 AM & 10:50 AM EST TO SUPPORT THIS MINISTRY & PARTNER WITH US: https://www.celebration.org/give/ First Time Watching?
