Pastor Rod speaks about the light and things that block your sight,

In this message, Pastor Rod teaches on the most important—and often most overlooked—part of the Christian life: our personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not an “it,” not a vague power, and not a distant influence. He is a Person, our Comforter, Helper, and ever-present Friend who lives within every believer. Pastor Rod shares how life truly changes when believers learn to fellowship with the Holy Spirit daily—listening to His voice, walking in His joy, and allowing Him to lead every area of life. Through Scripture, practical stories, and forty years of ministry experience, he reminds us that the Holy Spirit wants more of us, not the other way around. As we surrender our lives to Him, fear loses its grip, joy becomes our strength, and we begin living the Spirit-filled life God intended. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:17, John 15:11, John 14:16–17, 1 John 4:4 Be encouraged as you grow in your understanding of who the Holy Spirit is and how to walk with Him every day.
