Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
Luke 5:31-32 (NKJV)

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His words are not in us.
1 John 1:8-10 (NKJV)

For many are called, but few are chosen."
Matt 22:14 (NKJV)

So, the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."
Matt 20:16 (NKJV)

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; I will raise them, up at the last day.
It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore, everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
John 6:44-46 (NKJV)

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
John 14:6-7 (NKJV)

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
Matt 16:25 (NKJV)

But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matt 24:13-14 (NKJV)

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
1Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.
2 Cor 12:9-11 (NKJV)

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1 (NKJV)

May the Lord's love fill you.

I am sure the video is great, and i might watch it later. But there are a few things why even born again Christians will get only a half messure.

It is all where your heart is at.

If your heart is fertile and full ove love, you Will recieve a full measure of the Spirit.

But there are many Christians with prejudices already in place. And even those thier sins have been forgiven, they will continue to have those prejudices without even thinking about it.

Case in point, mentioning here, i am a Catholic. This will cause a number to jump to conclusions without a secound thought.

Things like animosity towards your brothers and sisters in Christ will hinder your ability to recieve the fulness of the Spirit.

As the Scripture tells us about the seed that falls on rocky ground, or clay or fertile ground. The ground the Scripture speeks of is our hearts.
