00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Welcome to the Cross Power 
Church podcast. 

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,800
You're listening to a service 
from our church in Campbell, TX.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,480
We pray this message strengthens
your faith and points you to the

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,840
cross. 
Now let's join the service. 

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,440
Appreciate that word this 
morning. 

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,960
Amen. 
Kids can be dismissed if they 

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,040
hadn't already any classes and 
good to be in the House of the 

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,280
Lord today. 
I got AI got about 40 minutes to

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,160
preach a 2 hour message, so I 
got to get rolling. 

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,920
How many is ready for the word? 
I declare to you what I preached

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,360
today. 
It's taken a lifetime to learn. 

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,000
Half a lifetime. 
I guess I'm over the hill now. 

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,560
I really don't know where I'm 
at, do y'all? 

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,560
I feel young, I do young things 
and then I hurt like crazy and 

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,520
then I go in there this morning 
to put some eye drops in my 

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,480
eyes. 
I'm thinking about the eye drops

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560
and I go in there because you 
know, the green grass is 

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280
growing. 
My eyes were itching and and I 

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,480
grab a bottle of nose spray and 
I turn it up and I squirt in my 

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:20,110
eye. 
Y'all don't do stuff like that 

21
00:01:20,110 --> 00:01:21,350
do you? 
Huh. 

22
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:25,150
I was thinking about all these 
scriptures I got to relate to 

23
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:29,270
you this morning and keep it in 
all chronological order where 

24
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:32,960
you can understand it, which I 
don't believe helps us 

25
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:34,880
understanding a lot. 
Others preach. 

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Amen. 
But so many today are 

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520
speculating. 
I imagine across the churches 

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,800
today we're preaching on. 
I don't know the difference 

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,480
between Iraq and Iran. 
I study in time, prophecy some. 

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,800
I have an idea of what's going 
on, but you know, it seems every

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,960
year, you know, I remember Y2K 
was going to wipe us out. 

32
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720
It was going to kill us all. 
Every world was going to crash. 

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,760
I remember COVID, I remember a 
lot of things in my lifetime 

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,680
that was going to wipe us out. 
And guess what? 

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,560
God's children are still 
standing. 

36
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,880
The church is still strong, but 
I cannot changed the end result.

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,560
Every message that preachers 
speculate and preach on, God has

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,280
a will. 
God has a purpose. 

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,880
God has a plan. 
Ultimately, evil be destroyed. 

40
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
A new Jerusalem will fall down 
out of the sky and be set up on 

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,400
this earth. 
And I want to be part of it, but

42
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,480
I tend to focus more on the here
and now and what I can do. 

43
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,120
I can't. 
I can't help what goes on in the

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,640
Middle East. 
I can't help what goes on in the

45
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,360
United States of America, but I 
can change where I'm at. 

46
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,680
I can change. 
I can't change the things that 

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,800
come my way, the circumstances 
of life. 

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,400
Anybody figured that one out 
yet? 

49
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360
But I can change how I respond 
to them. 

50
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,520
I can change how the enemy 
effects my life. 

51
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:20,800
And in trials on the job around 
people, I can't equip myself by 

52
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,680
putting on the whole armor of 
God. 

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Come on somebody and, and quench
in the fiery darts that the 

54
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,080
enemy fires at me every day. 
I can do that. 

55
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,160
And God's got gifts that I can 
receive to equip myself. 

56
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,720
He's got that. 
So I got to quit being ignorant.

57
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,560
And I titled this and I, I 
preached on this back in 2012. 

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,600
I was a little younger then, but
I titled it. 

59
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,040
I'm going to add to it a lot. 
You know, it's just, it's, it's 

60
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,880
cool to go back and see how much
you've added and grown since you

61
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,200
preached it the first time and 
things you found out. 

62
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720
You know, I, I feel for 
Christians that never find any 

63
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,280
new things out. 
They think that they were saved 

64
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,360
and baptized and plopped into 
Pew and that's about the extent 

65
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,040
of their walk. 
Hello, I've preached pretty 

66
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,399
much, you know, I, I had my old 
preacher tell me one time he 

67
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,320
said, man, everything's been 
preached. 

68
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,200
If it's in that book, somebody's
preached it. 

69
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
You can almost count on it. 
He said, use what you want to 

70
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,600
use a mine, I'll use what I want
to use a yours because it all 

71
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,840
comes from God. 
But yet as preacher, sometimes 

72
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,440
we try to dig in, find new 
things and and many times we 

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,960
miss what's already there in 
first Corinthians chapter 12 and

74
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,280
verse one, would you stand in 
the reading of the word? 

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,040
How many want to be equipped? 
How many know that in this Bible

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,440
that we read the modern day 
church. 

77
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,880
I mean, we just spent probably 
10,000 on a new baptistry and I 

78
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,960
I begin to read baptism is very 
important, but Jesus never 

79
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,920
baptized his disciples did he 
got baptized. 

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,600
So we know it is an important, 
but Jesus didn't preach on it 

81
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,720
very much. 
Hello. 

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,200
He said a man must be born 
again. 

83
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Jesus knew if you're born again,
you would you would get 

84
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,120
baptized, right? 
You would want to do the right 

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,320
thing. 
He didn't focus on that. 

86
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,480
He focused on the root probably.
He said a man to enter the 

87
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Kingdom of heaven must be 
baptized. 

88
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,880
Well, that'd be good. 
That would be great. 

89
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,160
All I got to do is get dunked 
and I'm going to heaven. 

90
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,280
That ain't what Jesus said. 
That ain't what John the Baptist

91
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,840
said. 
He said repent, for the Kingdom 

92
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,000
of heaven is near and to get to 
heaven, a man must be born 

93
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,520
again. 
And many people are. 

94
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,800
They pray the sinner's prayer, 
they walk the aisle and they 

95
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,040
have gotten water baptized. 
And then they're trying to fight

96
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,320
a fight that's already been won.
And we are engaged in spiritual 

97
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320
warfare that we are not equipped
to battle. 

98
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Anybody ever tried it without 
being equipped? 

99
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,640
Many are trying it today. 
There's those here that are 

100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,760
trying it today because I don't 
have the spiritual walk figured 

101
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,440
out. 
Hello. 

102
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,600
So what did the Apostle Paul say
about this? 

103
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Going to talk about spiritual 
gifts this morning. 

104
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,400
And it's the very thing that 
Satan tries to keep the body of 

105
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,280
Christ confused about. 
And I titled this back in 2012. 

106
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,960
The the inability say that with 
me, the inability I am enable. 

107
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,440
There's a lot of Christians that
are enable to resolve unresolved

108
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,360
issues concerning spiritual 
gifts. 

109
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Can I say that again, that's a 
lot a lot of Christians are 

110
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,680
enable. 
They have the inability, they're

111
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,040
not able to resolve the 
unresolved concerning spiritual 

112
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040
gifts. 
And I'm going to bring this on 

113
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
home, the church and the 
denominations in the United 

114
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,080
States of America. 
We learned last Wednesday night 

115
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,120
there's 45 to 47,000 
denominations that think they 

116
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,120
got it right, but very few of 
them operate in the gifts, 

117
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,320
right. 
Very few of them want the gifts.

118
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,440
They want their little setting. 
They want to be happy with their

119
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520
few on the Pew and they want to 
just come to church and feel 

120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440
good about the way they lived 
their life that week and get a 

121
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640
little tingle down the spine and
maybe a little tear. 

122
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,360
But that's not what the apostle 
Paul describes. 

123
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,880
This Christian walk ass. 
Let's look at what he said and 

124
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,120
I'm going to come back to 12:00.
I'm going to be all over the 

125
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920
place. 
But he said in in first 

126
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,440
Corinthians chapter 12 and verse
1, he says now concerning 

127
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,400
spiritual gifts, brother, I do 
not want you to be ignorant. 

128
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,760
Say that with me. 
Brother, I do not want you to 

129
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,080
look at your neighbors that I 
want you to stop being ignorant 

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,080
about this thing. 
There's nine of them and I can't

131
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,000
even name nine of them. 
How can I receive something that

132
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,320
I cannot name? 
Right? 

133
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,640
So we're ignorant of spiritual 
gifts. 

134
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,280
We don't know what they mean. 
The, the, the modern day church 

135
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720
when they say spiritual gift, 
they say, oh, they're going to 

136
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,480
pray in tongues. 
It's so much more. 

137
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,720
Oh, they're going to heal 
somebody. 

138
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,480
It's so much more. 
Oh, they're going to discern 

139
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,200
something. 
It's so much more. 

140
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Somebody's going to give a word 
of prophecy. 

141
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,440
No, it's so much more. 
Hey man, and I want to look at 

142
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,760
what Jesus said about this. 
Will you help me today 

143
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
concerning spiritual gifts? 
I do not want you to be 

144
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,160
ignorant. 
Father, we come to you today. 

145
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,120
We thank you for your word. 
You think. 

146
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,679
We thank you that it's real. 
We thank you that it's life 

147
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,480
giving. 
We thank you for the abundance 

148
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,960
of mercy and grace that we feel 
in this place. 

149
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,559
We pray today that the gifts 
would fall upon us spiritually, 

150
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,440
physically, financially, 
mentally and every aspect of our

151
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280
life. 
God as we as we bring our spirit

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,040
in total surrender to you today 
I ask for the anointing to 

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360
preach the gospel one more time.
In Jesus name we ask and pray. 

154
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Amen. 
So see, if we're ignorant 

155
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,800
discovering 1's spiritual gifts,
it really shouldn't be as 

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,240
difficult of a process as we 
make it. 

157
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,440
But I find that many people 
don't want any gifts. 

158
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,440
I don't know why. 
I know preaching the gospel, I 

159
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,240
need them all. 
But it's probably due to a lack 

160
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,400
of knowledge. 
The apostle Paul said it. 

161
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,280
He said it's due to a lack of 
knowledge because we're 

162
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,840
ignorant. 
When Jesus spoke of it, people 

163
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120
got real ignorant. 
They started throwing religion. 

164
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,680
You can't throw religion at 
something spiritual. 

165
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,920
It will bounce off. 
Can I say that again? 

166
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,160
You cannot throw religion at 
spiritual. 

167
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,800
It will bounce off John chapter 
16, Jesus explain this and I'm 

168
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,720
going to try to cover this the 
way it is in Scripture. 

169
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Holy Ghost, help me that you can
understand it that it will 

170
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,360
simplify the gifts of the Spirit
in your life that you would 

171
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,520
reach. 
That is my goal today for 

172
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,560
something deeper than what you 
have. 

173
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,480
How many need something deeper 
than what they have today? 

174
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Amen. 
Well, God's way deeper than you 

175
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,480
can ever get, so don't ever 
think you can arrive, but I want

176
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840
something deeper than what I 
have today. 

177
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,960
Amen. 
And in John chapter 16, and 

178
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,320
Jesus says these things in verse
one, I have spoken to you that 

179
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,240
you should not be made to 
stumble. 

180
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,920
They will put you out of the 
synagogue. 

181
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120
And the time is coming that 
whoever kills you will think 

182
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,200
that He offers God a service. 
We're seeing that. 

183
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,640
And these things they will do to
you because they have not known 

184
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,040
the Father nor me. 
But these things I have told you

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,800
that when the time comes, you 
may remember that I told you of 

186
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,400
them. 
Maybe it's not happening right 

187
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,840
here around us, but it's 
happening in the world. 

188
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,080
There's there was 50 some odd 
thousand I think was the number 

189
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,120
killed in another country this 
year for preaching and and 

190
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,040
speaking the name of Jesus. 
But these things he said I did 

191
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,000
not say to you at the beginning 
because I was with you. 

192
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,520
We could Fast forward that and 
he could say these things you 

193
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,120
did not receive at salvation 
because because you wasn't ready

194
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,760
for the meat of the word. 
Amen. 

195
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,800
I've never seen so many 
Christians today that get saved 

196
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,040
and accept the blood of Jesus 
for for the forgiveness of their

197
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,480
sins. 
And then they think they're 

198
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,600
automatically up here and have 
everything. 

199
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,880
So what did Jesus say? 
He says, but I'm fixing to go 

200
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,800
away to him who sent me and none
of you asked me where you were. 

201
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,240
Where, where am I going? 
I've told you I'm going away, 

202
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,680
and none of you seem to be too 
concerned about that. 

203
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:43,000
But because I have said these 
things to you, Saul has filled 

204
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,840
your heart. 
Nevertheless, I tell you the 

205
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,280
truth, it is to your advantage 
you have to get this Scripture 

206
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,480
to get the rest of the gifts and
everything else about it. 

207
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,720
I tell you the truth, it is to 
your advantage that I go away. 

208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,080
For if I do not go away. 
OK, now wait a minute. 

209
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,440
The greatest thing that had ever
happened to planet earth was 

210
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Jesus Christ and the cross of 
Calvary and the grace that was 

211
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,560
supplied in the Atonement, 
right? 

212
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,920
That was the greatest thing. 
But Jesus said it's fixing to 

213
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,840
get better if I go away. 
Man, I bet they were scratching 

214
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,400
their heads. 
But he said I'm going to go away

215
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,200
to heaven. 
You've already prayed the 

216
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640
sinner's prayer. 
Many of you have been water 

217
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040
baptized. 
You have seen me raise the dead,

218
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,480
you've seen me heal the sick, 
you've seen me do it. 

219
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,760
But now that I'm going away, 
there's something that's going 

220
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720
to come to you. 
And God's children don't 

221
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,320
understand that today. 
They do not understand that you 

222
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,160
can go to church after church to
hear the message that I'm 

223
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,840
preaching to you today. 
And I'm going to tell you, you 

224
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,880
won't hear it very much. 
You might hear portions of it, 

225
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,920
but I'm going to lay it all out.
He says that I have to go away 

226
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,480
and it's to your advantage that 
I go away for if I do not go 

227
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,560
away, the helper will not come 
to you. 

228
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,840
Why was the cross so important 
to Jesus? 

229
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,440
Why did he look He could look 
beyond the cross. 

230
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:10,000
He could even look beyond the 
old borrowed tomb. 

231
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,680
Maybe you're in a tomb this 
morning and the doors and the 

232
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,000
and the and the stone is rolled 
against the door and it seems 

233
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,360
there's no way out. 
Do like Jesus did look beyond 

234
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,440
the tomb. 
A man he said, I'm going to die.

235
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,520
I'm going to lay my my life down
for you, but in three days I'm 

236
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,200
going to pick it up again. 
I'm going to go to hell and get 

237
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,040
keys to death, hell and the 
grave. 

238
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,400
And then I'm going to go away. 
And there's a lot more fixing to

239
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,640
happen. 
He said for a fact, if I do not 

240
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,680
go away, the helper will not 
come. 

241
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Jesus makes a transition here. 
He's telling you that it's not 

242
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,520
my job to help you. 
It was my job to forgive you and

243
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800
die for you. 
But we cried all these sins to 

244
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Jesus. 
We confess our sins, He's 

245
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,880
faithful and just to forgive us.
But he says here, if I depart, I

246
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,160
will send him. 
And Jesus wasn't talking about 

247
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,000
himself. 
But here's where we get real 

248
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,640
confused because he's God the 
Father, he's God the Son, he's 

249
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,720
God the Holy Spirit. 
Quit getting confused. 

250
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
I just explained it. 
He's God the Father, he's God 

251
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,040
the Son, he's God the Holy 
Spirit. 

252
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,800
He's three and one, right? 
He's 3 and 1. 

253
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,880
Nothing confusing about that to 
me, but a lot of people are very

254
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,840
confused about it. 
For if I do not go away, the 

255
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720
helper will not come to you. 
But if I depart, I will send him

256
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,320
to you. 
Here's where it gets good. 

257
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,240
When he has come, he will 
convict the world of sin. 

258
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200
You know, when you do wrong and 
you feel it, that's not Jesus, 

259
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,200
that's the Holy Spirit, right? 
He said when he comes, he's 

260
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,040
going to convict the world of 
sin and of righteousness and of 

261
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,480
judgment and of sin because they
do not believe in me or 

262
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,480
righteousness, because I go to 
the Father and you see me no 

263
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,280
more of judgment because the 
ruler of this world is judged. 

264
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,840
And he says I still have many 
say many things to say to you, 

265
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360
but you cannot bear them. 
Now, how many is ready to bear 

266
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,440
them? 
However, when He, the Spirit of 

267
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,520
Truth, has come, He will guide. 
This is why people don't want 

268
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360
the Spirit is because it begins 
to guide you into all truth. 

269
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,480
That's where change takes place.
He will not speak on his own 

270
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,520
authority, but whatever He 
hears, He will speak, and He 

271
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,720
will tell you things to come. 
Boy, that'd be cool, wouldn't 

272
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,920
it? 
He will glorify me, for He will 

273
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,960
take of what it what is mine. 
Imagine He's taken from what 

274
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,280
Jesus has, and He's declared it 
to you. 

275
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,680
All things that the Father has 
are mine. 

276
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Therefore I said that he will 
take of mine and he will declare

277
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,160
it to you. 
Isn't that awesome? 

278
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,840
And then when the end we we go 
on up in Scripture. 

279
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,480
When he left the disciples, he 
did something that that was 

280
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,520
really unique. 
He had already told them this 

281
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120
was going to happen and he said,
now I'm leaving you. 

282
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,040
And he said receive the Holy 
Ghost, receive it. 

283
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Wait a minute. 
The disciples were saved, They 

284
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,960
were baptized, and that's all 
you need. 

285
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,240
Why did he blow upon them the 
mighty rushing wind of the Holy 

286
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,920
Spirit? 
And he said, receive the Holy 

287
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,360
Spirit. 
What happens after? 

288
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Don't worry. 
I don't care what happens after 

289
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,040
that. 
I just want it. 

290
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Hey, man, I don't care how I 
talk. 

291
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,280
I don't care how I walk. 
I just want that truth in me, 

292
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,280
right? 
It does. 

293
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,840
The rest doesn't matter because 
he just took the truth, the 

294
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,560
counselor, the helper and he 
took of what is God the Father's

295
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,320
because he's sitting at the 
right hand and he dropped it 

296
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:52,560
down on me right And then in 
Acts chapter 1 in verse four, he

297
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,600
told him go to Jerusalem. 
Adam blew up on you. 

298
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,880
You received it, but now you're 
going to act in it and you're 

299
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,240
going to respond to what the 
Holy Spirit does when it came in

300
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,280
Acts chapter 1 as a mighty 
rushing wind and set up on them 

301
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,119
as cloven tongues of fire, and 
everybody's still astonished at 

302
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,640
the tongues of fire, but yet 
they believe in salvation. 

303
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,160
Well, the greatest saving gospel
grace that was ever preached was

304
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,240
right after that Peter that had 
denied, stood and preached, and 

305
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,880
thousands were saved. 
The Holy Spirit had came, and 

306
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,080
many say it with me have been 
ignorant ever since. 

307
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,440
See seven times Paul uses this 
phrase. 

308
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,640
Do not say it with me. 
Be ignorant. 

309
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,360
And three of those seven really 
effective. 

310
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,920
Some of them are about 
Jerusalem, some of them are 

311
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,360
about end times. 
But three things that the 

312
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,200
apostle Paul warned the first 
Corinthians 12 it was regarding 

313
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,680
spiritual gifts #1 which we 
need. 

314
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,920
And the other one that Paul 
referred to I want to pull out 

315
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,640
this morning was First 
Thessalonians 4 and 13. 

316
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,960
It was regarding death and in 
second Peter three and eight, it

317
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,680
was guarding God's respect his 
his perspective on time. 

318
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,640
So, so spiritual gifts, death 
and time are very important. 

319
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:16,040
This word ignorant, it comes 
from chigaha, Hebrew word, which

320
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:21,160
means an act done in ignorance. 
It could be accidental. 

321
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,280
We didn't mean to do it, but we 
didn't know any better. 

322
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Christians don't mean to deny 
the Holy Spirit, but many don't 

323
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,320
know any better because they 
have not been taught. 

324
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Do you have proof of this 
pastor? 

325
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,280
There's a church in Lakewood, 
Texas. 

326
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,360
A man named Joel Osteen pastors 
it. 

327
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,720
His dad, John Osteen, his, his 
father started it. 

328
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,440
And John Osteen tells a story. 
And I know a man that knew him 

329
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,800
personally that attended his 
church when it was in a feed 

330
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,720
store, like we started here and,
and he grew it into what it 

331
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,400
really is today. 
But, but it was based upon this.

332
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480
He was a Southern Baptist 
preacher. 

333
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,400
He had been to the convention. 
He had learned everything they 

334
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,240
taught him and he preached the 
gospel for 30 years. 

335
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,120
I got books in here. 
If anybody wants them, they're 

336
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,480
about 30 pages. 
And it will really help you 

337
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,280
because I can't tell you what 
it's like to preach and serve 

338
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,480
God without the Holy Ghost. 
I've never done it. 

339
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,960
I received received it at 17 
years old after I was saved at a

340
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,960
young age and I have not 
operated without it since. 

341
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,240
But it's cool to hear a man that
preached the gospel for 30 

342
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,080
something years and he said I 
love those people. 

343
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,800
I love those people and I could 
go to name in the churches now 

344
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,960
that don't operate in the guilts
of the Spirit. 

345
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440
They're mainstream 
denominational churches. 

346
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,800
I'm not going to name them all 
because I would miss most of 

347
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600
them, but they do not operate in
the gifts of the Spirit. 

348
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,120
He said that I love those 
people. 

349
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:45,960
They had taught me everything 
they knew. 

350
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,400
But he said after 30 years of 
preaching from the pulpit with a

351
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,440
mic in my hand, I received the 
baptism of the Holy Spirit and 

352
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,840
with evidence of speaking in an 
unknown tongue. 

353
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,080
And he said my life has never 
been the same. 

354
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,360
And he wrote this book of 
hindrances to not receiving the 

355
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,040
Holy Spirit because we were 
ignorant to it. 

356
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,760
So let's roll on with this. 
But see, there's a lack of 

357
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,800
knowledge. 
Paul faced this as we go to Acts

358
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,400
chapter 19, verse one through 6,
and I'm going to paraphrase, you

359
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200
can read it at home, but Paul 
was passing through the upper 

360
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,480
regions of Ephesus and he come 
up on some disciple that that 

361
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
word really got me. 
They said, he's some disciples 

362
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,120
of Christ. 
And Paul walks up and he he 

363
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,880
says, hey, you're a disciple. 
I see that you know Jesus, I see

364
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480
that you've been baptized. 
But he said, what I want to 

365
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,200
know, did you receive the Holy 
Ghost? 

366
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,880
He said, have you received the 
Holy Spirit? 

367
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,760
This is what the Apostle Paul 
that we claim all of his 

368
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,400
writings, that the church claims
all of his writings, and we love

369
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,080
some of them, but we seem to 
leave this one out. 

370
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280
He said, I know you're saved, I 
know you're baptized. 

371
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,480
That's two. 
But he said, have you received 

372
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,640
since you believed? 
Why don't you let scratch in 

373
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,320
their head, have you received 
since you believed? 

374
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,120
Say you've been forgiven, but 
have you received? 

375
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600
I've been forgiven, but have I 
received? 

376
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,960
And he asked these people, He 
said, they said, Oh yeah, we 

377
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,960
received John's baptism. 
They thought up what their works

378
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,600
had done. 
And he said, and he asked him, 

379
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,640
he said, what baptism were you 
baptized in? 

380
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,960
They said John's baptism. 
Jesus. 

381
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Paul said this, that John truly 
baptized with a baptism. 

382
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,000
Say it with me of repentance. 
And then it goes on to say that 

383
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,480
Paul laid hands upon them. 
Go home and read today in Acts 

384
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,480
19 and they received the Holy 
Spirit and they begin to speak 

385
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,040
in unknown tongues. 
Paul laved hands on save people.

386
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,240
So that's a big flag for me that
there's more than just being 

387
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,560
saved in this Christian walk. 
Not saying it's not enough, but 

388
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
there's days that you're down, 
there's days that you don't know

389
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,520
which way to turn. 
There's there's jobs, there's 

390
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,560
careers, there's things that 
Christians get hung up on and 

391
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,040
and try to control their self 
simply because we're ignorant 

392
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,920
concerning the gifts of the 
Spirit in first Corinthians 

393
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,040
chapter 2, nine and six. 
Let's read this. 

394
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,080
I'm going to slow down more 
read. 

395
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,000
I may not finish this today, but
first Corinthians chapter 2, 

396
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,960
verse 9 through 16 it says, but 
as it has written, I has not 

397
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,040
seen nor ear heard. 
See the church is good at 

398
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,240
thinking they've seen it all 
seen in the miracles of God. 

399
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,440
Boy, I thought I've seen it all 
before that got to tell me to do

400
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,360
something. 
I'd do it and he'd just blow the

401
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:43,560
socks off. 
Hey man, he just do something 

402
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,280
great, something powerful in my 
life or someone else's life. 

403
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,360
I look around, I see miracles 
everywhere of God, eyes not seen

404
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,640
nor ear heard, nor is it entered
into the heart of man. 

405
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,400
The things which God has 
prepared for those who love him.

406
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,880
What did Jesus say we would do 
if we loved him? 

407
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,520
He said you'll keep my 
commandments. 

408
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920
Didn't say you cast out demons 
because you love him. 

409
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,920
He said if you love me you'll 
keep my commandments. 

410
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,360
I'll cast the demons out right. 
Let's go on to that next verse. 

411
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,280
But y'all ain't getting this 
this morning. 

412
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,240
Y'all want to dive in? 
You ought to be just like a kid 

413
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:22,920
after a pacifier this morning. 
But God has revealed them to us 

414
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680
through a dignified preacher 
sitting in the Pew. 

415
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,560
He's he's revealed them to us 
through Bible studies. 

416
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
He's revealed them through us, 
through the everybody wants to 

417
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,360
order a pamphlet and let's get 
something to teach out of where 

418
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,840
we have a curriculum to go by. 
I had old preacher tell me that 

419
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,440
one time he said I quit order 
them after 15 years of ministry 

420
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320
because every seven years they 
repeat. 

421
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,080
It's the same thing. 
Every church doctrine, every 

422
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,920
Sunday school book, the sacred 
cow, I call it, it repeats after

423
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,560
seven years going to teach the 
same thing. 

424
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,120
Why not let God something do? 
He said I got a new thing for 

425
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,920
you today. 
My mercies and blessings are 

426
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,200
fresh every day, but God has 
revealed them through US. 

427
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,160
Say we're looking for it 
everywhere else. 

428
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,680
Besides through the Spirit, 
we're looking to conquer this 

429
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,000
fleshly walk every other way. 
By a book that Rick Warren 

430
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040
wrote, By a book that Joel 
Osteen wrote. 

431
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,560
And that will not do it. 
It will only happen by the 

432
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,280
Spirit. 
I think I'll write a book about 

433
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,360
the Spirit. 
Amen. 

434
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Through the Spirit. 
For the Spirit searches all 

435
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,080
things. 
Whoa. 

436
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,120
I like that. 
It searches it well. 

437
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,040
It's going to get deep. 
The spirit searches all things. 

438
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,960
The hatefulness that's inside of
you. 

439
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,400
The unforgiveness that's inside 
of you and you can't if the 

440
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,560
Spirit searches you and you hold
on to it, guess what happens? 

441
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,640
This Holy Spirit that I'm 
talking about operating in this 

442
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,080
morning, it just skips right 
over you because God says he's 

443
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,840
not willing to give me that. 
So I can't show him things to 

444
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,800
come. 
I can't give him everything. 

445
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,880
Yes, he may be saved, but he's 
got what do we call them hang 

446
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,400
ups or we go to the counselor 
and let the counselor tell us 

447
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,280
it's OK to have it and and no, 
it ain't OK. 

448
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,440
I don't do counseling. 
People figured out I will, but 

449
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,400
it comes from the word. 
I don't tell you it's OK to do. 

450
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960
I set across from a guy 
counseling one time and the Holy

451
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600
Ghost told me he said ask him 
how much he's spending on weed a

452
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,000
week. 
He's whining about not having a 

453
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,800
car. 
I didn't know the man that come 

454
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,120
to church twice. 
We sit right back there, but I 

455
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,400
know the voice of my God. 
He said ask him how much he's 

456
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,080
spending on. 
I said God, is that you? 

457
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,280
He said yes it's me and I said 
how much you spending on weed a 

458
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,440
week? 
He looked at his wife and she 

459
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,000
looked at him and I said what 
about cigarettes? 

460
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,440
How much you spending on 
cigarettes? 

461
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,560
And we added it up. 
I handed it to him. 

462
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,000
I said you could be driving a 
brand new one so don't wind the 

463
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,640
God. 
It's not God, it's the weed who?

464
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,480
But it's OK, it's natural. 
Still taking your money, still 

465
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,680
keeping you from being what God 
wants you to be. 

466
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,080
Had somebody one time called me 
and said, preacher, do you think

467
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,480
you're closer to God when you're
high? 

468
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,560
Because I'm witnessing to this 
lady and she said happened, 

469
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,680
didn't it? 
I just feel closer to God when 

470
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:34,440
I'm high. 
I said, well, I guess you're in 

471
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760
a spirit world, but it's not 
That's what I told you, what I 

472
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,200
said. 
It's not the Holy Spirit. 

473
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,320
I got to get back on this for 
the spirit searches all things I

474
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,280
like that towards the Bible said
all things my little hang ups 

475
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,320
how I respond to my wife and I 
just squirted nose spray in my 

476
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,280
eye and she's asked me if I put 
clothes in the hamper. 

477
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,440
That's all things I'm not 
worried about the clothes when I

478
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,080
done squirted this vape venom, 
whatever that stuff that what is

479
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,440
it called Vicks in my the 
burning stuff in my eyeball. 

480
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,960
I'm not worried about no clothe 
boy. 

481
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,800
I said oh Lord help me why 
because the spirit searches all 

482
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:25,000
things he goes on and says yes, 
the deep things of God. 

483
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,320
I like it. 
Church don't know any. 

484
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,520
Most churches, they don't know 
anything about the deep things 

485
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,640
of God. 
I preached one time. 

486
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,560
I was preaching about pay, one 
of the 1st. 

487
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,080
I'll never forget the first time
I really preached in the church 

488
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760
behind a pulpit which God had 
been getting ready for years 

489
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,280
before. 
I preached the way worse people 

490
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,360
than church people. 
And that's pretty bad. 

491
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,080
I don't know that they were 
worse now that I've been in 

492
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,320
church a while. 
I used to think that, but but I 

493
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,800
was. 
I was preaching about praying 

494
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,560
and crying the same prayers over
and over, never getting them 

495
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,440
answered. 
And you might be praying out of 

496
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,280
the will of God. 
You might need to change your 

497
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,840
direction and not pray for that 
thing anymore. 

498
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,360
Just give it to God. 
And that's a guy come down the 

499
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,400
aisle. 
I was filling in for my pastor 

500
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
and he come down the aisle. 
He's sitting at the back. 

501
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,320
I'd never seen him. 
And he come up to me. 

502
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,600
He said, I'm going to pray for 
you. 

503
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,400
You're a young preacher. 
I said, yes, Sir. 

504
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,560
And I need I wasn't. 
I mean, in my 30s, I'd preach 

505
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,720
probably more sermons than he'd 
set to, just not in the church 

506
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,920
setting. 
I was like, my God, I don't know

507
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,840
if I want part of these people. 
He said, I'm going to pray for 

508
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,440
you. 
I said, please do I need it? 

509
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,080
He said no, you told these 
people tonight not to pray. 

510
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,680
He said I pray and it was 
astronomical amount, 2 or 300 

511
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,360
times a day. 
I said, well we're supposed to 

512
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,760
pray without ceasing. 
I just said not for the same 

513
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,360
thing. 
And he began to lay me out of 

514
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,520
prayer how he thought I should 
pray. 

515
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,840
I said, let me tell you 
something. 

516
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,080
I said I don't pray that much, I
ain't got that much time. 

517
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,360
But I said if you'll just pray 
in the Holy Ghost and give God 

518
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,360
your prayer language, you ain't 
going to have to pray near as 

519
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,920
much as what you telling me. 
He walked off. 

520
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,400
See, God searches the deep 
things. 

521
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,040
I called my pastor. 
I said, hey, you had me fill in.

522
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,760
I didn't run one off first 
message. 

523
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,000
I preached behind a pulpit. 
He said, what'd you tell him? 

524
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,520
I said, I told him, pray in the 
Holy Ghost, you won't have to 

525
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,320
pray as much. 
He said that's the truth, don't 

526
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,600
worry about it. 
He said, OK, but God searches 

527
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,440
the deep things of God, the deep
things. 

528
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400
But when we're not willing to 
get into the deep things of God,

529
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,320
guess what happens? 
Go to Hebrews chapter, Chapter 9

530
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,480
and 14. 
We back up. 

531
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,640
I'm just going to quote 
Ephesians 429 here. 

532
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,560
It says, do not grieve the Holy 
Spirit, but we grieve the Holy 

533
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,840
Spirit when we don't give him 
everything. 

534
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440
God wants it all. 
Hebrews 9 and 14. 

535
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,840
It says, how much more than will
the blood of Christ, who through

536
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,600
the eternal Spirit offered 
himself unblemished to God, 

537
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,480
cleanse our conscience from the 
acts that lead to death so that 

538
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,480
we may serve a living God? 
Isn't that powerful? 

539
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,640
We need a cleansing this 
morning. 

540
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,040
So can we? 
We? 

541
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,920
We can receive and operate in 
the gifts of the Spirit. 

542
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
See, most believers today, they 
don't operate in the gifts of 

543
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:27,280
the Spirit because the body of 
Christ is confused or misled. 

544
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,600
We live in ignorance to 
knowledge of the Holy Spirit. 

545
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,160
We're hung up on how God the 
Father's God the Son and how 

546
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,320
he's the Holy Spirit, how he's a
triune Godhead. 

547
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,680
So many are hung up on all of 
that. 

548
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,640
I don't understand how I can lay
down at night and five to six 

549
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,640
hours later it's a beautiful, 
bright day. 

550
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,920
I don't understand that. 
I've read up on it. 

551
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,360
I still don't understand it. 
I don't understand that this 

552
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,440
time of the year, the sun just a
few weeks ago was sitting over 

553
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,120
here to the left side of my 
driveway at the end of the day, 

554
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,400
and now it's slowly moving this 
way and it's right over here. 

555
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,480
I don't understand it, but I can
assure you, unless the Lord 

556
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,040
returns today, it will happen 
again in the morning. 

557
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,160
I don't understand that. 
I just know what's going to 

558
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,120
happen. 
Why can't we take this in our 

559
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,800
spiritual life? 
All right, I'm going to get on 

560
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,160
my message now. 
Y'all ready? 

561
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,400
Why do people not, it's an 
age-old question. 

562
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,520
Why do people not operate in the
gifts of the Spirit? 

563
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,040
Why do pastors, and I know a 
bunch of them, most of them 

564
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,640
don't operate in the gifts of 
the Spirit. 

565
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,680
I was talking to 1 the other 
day. 

566
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,880
They take the the the most 
famous movie right now that's in

567
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,560
the world and try to relate it 
to somebody because they've 

568
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,040
their congregations watch the 
movie. 

569
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,680
So they ought to understand 
where the sermons going. 

570
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Is that backwards? 
I said just give him. 

571
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920
I said give him Jesus. 
I ain't got to. 

572
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,840
If I got to give you a movie of 
the world to make you understand

573
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,160
this Bible, it will not work 
because light and darkness has 

574
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,640
to flee. 
But why don't people get that 

575
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,280
write this down. 
This is a this is a heavy Ravi 

576
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,560
here back to first Corinthians 
chapter 112 and one Why don't 

577
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,880
people operate in the gifts of 
the spirit If you had to answer 

578
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,480
that question well, we get real 
dignified theologians really 

579
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,080
mess it up. 
Can I tell you the reason people

580
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560
don't operate in the gifts of 
the spirit. 

581
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,520
There are nine of them and the 
reason they don't you ready for 

582
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,080
this, they don't have it. 
You can't operate in that. 

583
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,160
What you do not have, you can't 
do it. 

584
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Most can't name 9 gifts of the 
Spirit, much less operate in 

585
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,200
them. 
They were provided. 

586
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,640
We've already learned this 
morning when were the gifts? 

587
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,520
He said I send it on high. 
I LED captivity captive and I 

588
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,880
gave good gifts to men. 
So if God gave it, what happens?

589
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,840
I don't have to pray it down 
from heaven. 

590
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,960
I've got to receive it. 
I've got to receive it. 

591
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,040
When we raise our hands, we're 
always like this. 

592
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,280
I'll never forget one time I 
heard a preacher said, turn them

593
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,720
over and receive it. 
When I turn my hands over and I 

594
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,400
receive it and I let God search 
the deep inner parts of it, He 

595
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,800
says I've got somebody I can 
work here with because they're 

596
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,800
not trying to hide anything and 
and they're not going to go out 

597
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,760
and make my gifts look stupid 
and ignorant in the world. 

598
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,440
So I can bestow some things upon
them and I can do something with

599
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,480
them. 
But many are trying to receive 

600
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,200
or operate in the gifts of the 
Spirit without ever receiving 

601
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,520
the Holy Spirit. 
Right? 

602
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,680
Because maybe you was knelt down
somewhere and there was a river 

603
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,680
of living water that begin to 
flow within you. 

604
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,440
You know, when you begin to feel
like something crazy is going to

605
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,080
happen in my life, God's going 
to make me get rid of some 

606
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,000
things and change some things. 
Just go ahead and do it because 

607
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,520
He's fixing to elevate you to a 
new level and you can receive 

608
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,720
the gift. 
But see, he says now concerning 

609
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,720
spiritual gifts, brother, I do 
not want you to be ignorant. 

610
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Let's go to that next verse. 
We're going to read a little 

611
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,840
bit. 
You know that you were Gentiles 

612
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,960
carried away by dumb idols. 
However you were led. 

613
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,400
The church is carried away today
by the idol of the church by the

614
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,280
next business meeting. 
Not what God's going to do, but 

615
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,480
what we can do, right? 
The church is so LED away by 

616
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,920
that. 
He says, you know that you were 

617
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,000
Gentiles LED away. 
Let's go to that next verse and 

618
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,480
he says, therefore I make known 
to you that no one speaking this

619
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,760
is really fixing to get good 
right here that no one speaking 

620
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,560
by the Spirit of God speaking by
the Spirit of God calls Jesus 

621
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,080
accursed. 
Well, this got me when I read 

622
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:45,280
this this week and no one can 
say that Jesus is Lord except by

623
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,320
the Holy Spirit. 
But we have a lot of Christians 

624
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,920
walking around saying I don't 
have the Holy Spirit. 

625
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,239
Well you're contradicting the 
Bible because it says that you 

626
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:01,200
can't even say that Jesus is 
Lord without the Holy Spirit. 

627
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,600
So what is he saying here? 
True confession of Jesus is Lord

628
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,960
requires the Holy Spirit because
a true confession see our human 

629
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:18,280
nature resistant while anyone 
can physically say the words or 

630
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,200
walk down in the baptistry. 
Hello. 

631
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,520
But genuine spiritual conviction
that Jesus is Lord and He is 

632
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,760
sovereign only comes through the
Holy Spirit and it intervening 

633
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,040
in our life. 
It serves as a true marker 

634
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,360
because the Holy Spirit will 
lead us by faith. 

635
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,560
It will lead us by faith and not
false confession. 

636
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,040
So Jesus is Lord. 
It's a heartfelt, saving faith 

637
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,200
in Christ authority. 
I like that. 

638
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,680
Not not vulnerable to sin, but 
when you start being led by the 

639
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,680
Spirit, there's only one way 
that you will not fulfill the 

640
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,800
lust of the flesh. 
What is it to walk in the 

641
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040
spirit? 
So it's pretty important if 

642
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,840
there's only one way that's 
mentioned in the Bible that you 

643
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,600
will not fulfill the lust of the
flesh that this doesn't mean 

644
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,080
sexual sins and sexual lust, 
lust of the world, lust of the 

645
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,760
things there in the the 
craziness about just getting 

646
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,280
caught up and in what house to 
build what picture to hang, what

647
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,600
tractor you need what see all 
that's all that becomes idols in

648
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,120
our lives. 
You don't think that can 

649
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,400
interfere with your peace and 
your joy, huh? 

650
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,200
You don't think it can affect 
where you work? 

651
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,480
The vehicle you want to drive 
affects the job you're going to 

652
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,760
have. 
The job you have affects the 

653
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,280
vehicle you drive, right? 
And we get caught up in it. 

654
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,200
And then the how much money we 
make affects the house that we 

655
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,440
really want to build and still 
enjoy the place that God's 

656
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,160
already blessed. 
I'm preaching to some people 

657
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,400
now. 
So then when you begin to do 

658
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,520
that and Satan pulls you in that
direction, he automatically puts

659
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,680
enmity within your within your 
relationship, right? 

660
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,760
And then when there's enmity in 
your relationship, you have just

661
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,720
stepped out of the Spirit, hear 
it and you're walking in a 

662
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:02,040
direction that is away from God,
right? 

663
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,680
I envy the older people. 
They had to go outside to to go 

664
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,840
to the bathroom. 
They couldn't flip the light on,

665
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,040
but they did not have the 
distractions that we have. 

666
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,360
If you wanted to Brother Lee, 
years ago, you could. 

667
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,040
I know he would testify. 
He post some great things on 

668
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,560
Facebook. 
He sends me some stuff. 

669
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:24,680
I don't have Facebook, but he 
probably uses a tool to witness 

670
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,960
most of the time, right? 
But but, you know, you think 

671
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,880
back years ago, you'd probably 
come in and it was a whole lot 

672
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,560
easier. 
Hey, here's one right here. 

673
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,160
Let me look at it. 
I ain't going to tell what's on 

674
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:44,280
it, but it's right there. 
We got this slicker zipped up 

675
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:52,360
good. 
And it's right here that T VS 

676
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,440
right there, Netflix and my God,
which way do I go? 

677
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,480
You ever find yourself trying to
watch the watch the Facebook on 

678
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,760
here and then watch the TV too 
and you're just there ain't no 

679
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:11,000
room for the spirit. 
How could you hear from God and 

680
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
I'm not preaching against all 
that, but there has if you're 

681
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,040
going to walk in the spirit, 
they going to have to come a 

682
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,240
time and my God, it's in the 
church house. 

683
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,160
We got Bibles. 
I know you like your phone, but 

684
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,400
I'll buy you the best Bible you 
want if you put your phone up. 

685
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,040
That's how I get my scripture. 
That's OK. 

686
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,560
I just ain't for me. 
It's different when I go back 

687
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,920
and I look at an old trial. 
I had a man, when I go back 

688
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,280
through here and what my wife 
life's going through now, and I 

689
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,360
can look back in that old Bible.
I can remember one time when the

690
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560
doctor walked in, said we'd 
never had children and I got 

691
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,080
grandchildren. 
Now I can look back. 

692
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,720
See my phone won't tell me that,
but this living word of God, 

693
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:55,160
it'll tell me that. 
Talking about what am I talking 

694
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,320
about? 
Walking in the Spirit, Walking 

695
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,840
in the Spirit. 
We don't have the gifts of the 

696
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,360
Spirit because we don't walk in 
the Spirit. 

697
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,080
Let me get back to this. 
They don't have the gift #2 

698
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,360
haven't received the indwelling,
Know about the Holy Spirit, but 

699
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:22,080
haven't seen the indwelling, 
haven't received the indwelling 

700
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,640
of it. 
It's not really dwelling within 

701
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,840
us because see, I found the Holy
Spirit to be my. 

702
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,480
This is the heaviest revelation 
you could ever get. 

703
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,640
I'm not talking about I'm not 
arguing with Baptist and 

704
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Methodist about using your 
losing your salvation. 

705
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,720
I hope and pray to God you 
can't. 

706
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,240
But the Bible says different. 
It talks about names being 

707
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:46,440
blotted out of the book of life.
Hebrews 10/26 says if we go on 

708
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,240
sinning after we receive the 
knowledge of the truth, there no

709
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:52,560
longer remains A sacrifice. 
If them scriptures weren't in 

710
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,680
there, I might could jump on 
board with that, but they're in 

711
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,720
there. 
And if we going to preach the 

712
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,320
Bible, we got to preach it all 
right. 

713
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,720
So here's the deal. 
The Holy Spirit doesn't keep. 

714
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,200
We have a portion of it at 
salvation, but it doesn't keep 

715
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,160
dwelling within us and leading 
and guiding us when we refuse to

716
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:17,960
let it in the area of our life. 
Hello and it doesn't you know 

717
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,680
what we're good at naming these 
sins. 

718
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,240
Well, I've quit this and this 
and this and this and it and 

719
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,240
it's on and on and on because 
that's you know that's a great 

720
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:28,680
thing that you quit that. 
But I quit looking behind and 

721
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,640
press forward toward the upper 
call of Christ Jesus because I'm

722
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,000
trying to get you to way beyond 
that that you're not even 

723
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,520
thinking of those things is that
you're proud you're not doing 

724
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,320
and you're not missing those 
things anymore because you're 

725
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,480
looking to the upward call. 
This will change your life. 

726
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,920
But when I refuse to do that, 
guess what? 

727
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,000
The Holy Spirit leaves, He'll go
find somebody that he can work 

728
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,960
through that's willing to 
receive that gift, that's 

729
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,760
willing to not sit around and 
say, well, I did that years ago,

730
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,720
but I'm doing it every day and 
I'm operating in it and I'm 

731
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:08,840
using it right. 
So what are the gifts of the 

732
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,120
Spirit? 
A word of wisdom, wisdom that 

733
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,600
comes. 
Can I add to that from the 

734
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,000
Bible, from his word? 
We're all good at giving wisdom.

735
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,120
Go to the coffee shop. 
A lot of wisdom and some of it's

736
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,600
good. 
A young man should go to the 

737
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:34,770
coffee shop. 
My son's 30 years old almost, 

738
00:41:35,450 --> 00:41:37,530
and he said, I'm just now 
starting to realize that the 

739
00:41:37,530 --> 00:41:40,770
older people, when you look at 
him, they really did something. 

740
00:41:40,770 --> 00:41:44,130
They were once young like me. 
They once could do the things I 

741
00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:45,690
could do. 
I used to just look at him as 

742
00:41:45,690 --> 00:41:47,490
old people. 
He told us that the other night 

743
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:55,840
I said don't forget it. 
I used could whoop you easy Word

744
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,960
of wisdom. 
I'm going to name these and I'm 

745
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,440
going to move on to something a 
word of knowledge, faith. 

746
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,080
How many need a word of wisdom? 
How many need a word of 

747
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,240
knowledge? 
How many need faith? 

748
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,760
How many need gifts of healing? 
How many need working of 

749
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,320
miracles? 
How many need prophecies? 

750
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,480
How many need discernings, 
different kinds of tongues and 

751
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,160
interpretation of tongues. 
That is the 9 gifts of the 

752
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Spirit, and most don't have 
because they haven't received 

753
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,400
indwelling. 
So number one, they don't have 

754
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,160
it. 
They haven't received indwelling

755
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,200
of the Holy Spirit. 
It's not always indwelling 

756
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,760
within them. 
And I like this one right here. 

757
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,080
Number three, you may not be as 
spiritual. 

758
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:48,560
Can I say this as you think, 
Galatians 6 and one? 

759
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,600
Let's read it. 
You may not be as spiritual as 

760
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,040
you think. 
Brethren, if a man is overtaken 

761
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:05,240
in any trespasses, you who are 
spiritual restore such a one in 

762
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:11,120
a spirit of gentleness. 
Considering yourself least, you 

763
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,920
also be tempted. 
Let's go to verse 2 and 3. 

764
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,000
Bear one another's burdens and 
so fulfill the law of Christ. 

765
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,720
For if anyone thinks this is the
verse I really wanted. 

766
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,160
Thanks. 
Himself to be something. 

767
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,880
When he is nothing, he deceives 
himself. 

768
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,640
Can I say this? 
Christians are really good at 

769
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,400
that, really good at telling 
people. 

770
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,360
I had a new saying I made-up a 
few years ago. 

771
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,280
Beware when someone walks up and
says I'm a Christian. 

772
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,840
If they have to tell you there's
probably something stirring 

773
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:58,080
there, they should be living it.
For if anyone thinks himself to 

774
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,680
be something when he's nothing, 
he deceives himself. 

775
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:08,880
And then it goes on to say, let 
each one examine his own work. 

776
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:12,840
See the things that come out of 
some people, Christians, the 

777
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,080
doubt, the fear. 
Spiritual people produce 

778
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,080
spiritual gifts. 
The longer we refuse to obey 

779
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:25,240
what we know to be true, the 
longer we stay in darkness 

780
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:31,200
concerning spiritual gifts. 
The fourth thing we've seen this

781
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:38,880
in churches lacking the right 
motive for why we serve God, 

782
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,800
lacking the right motive. 
You ever ask yourself that 

783
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,600
question, why am I serving God? 
What would be the most popular 

784
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,960
survey says what would be the 
most popular answer? 

785
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,000
Probably if I if I took a mic 
and went in Buffalo Wild Wings 

786
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,520
over here at Commerce and he 
First off, you'd say are you 

787
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,080
serving God? 
If yes, then why? 

788
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,000
Most would say I don't want to 
go to hell, right. 

789
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,840
I, I mean, I guess I, I remember
time of my life. 

790
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,000
That was why I did it for 
protection when I was rodeoing 

791
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,320
professionally, but lacking the 
right motive to serve God. 

792
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,680
See, all gifts are worth nothing
if us Christians don't exhibit 

793
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,640
love. 
We're just a clanging symbol. 

794
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,520
The Bible says go home and read 
Matthew 20 verse one through 11.

795
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,200
I'm going to move on so I can 
finish this number 5. 

796
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:43,760
This is a real good one. 
Unresolved root problems in our 

797
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,920
personal life. 
Wow. 

798
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,920
See, I have to resolve the 
problems in my personal. 

799
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,080
I can, I can paint up and I can 
hide some things, but God still 

800
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,480
knows. 
I'll never forget it. 

801
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,400
It could come to the point in my
life one time I was like, it 

802
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,960
don't matter what everybody else
knows. 

803
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,800
It's what God knows. 
How do you back that in 

804
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,800
Scripture? 
Let's go to Romans chapter 12, 

805
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:21,520
Romans chapter 12, verse 3. 
It says, For I say through the 

806
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,560
grace given me to everyone who 
is among you, not to think of 

807
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,120
himself more highly than he 
ought to think, but to think 

808
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,840
soberly, as God has dealt to 
each one a measure of faith. 

809
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,520
Whereas we have many members in 
one body, but all members do not

810
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:44,800
have the same function. 
So we being many, are one body 

811
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,240
in Christ, and individual 
members of one another. 

812
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:52,480
Having then gifts differing 
according to the grace that is 

813
00:46:52,480 --> 00:47:01,120
given to us, let us use them. 
If prophecy, let us say it with 

814
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,600
me. 
Prophecy. 

815
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:08,920
If proportioned to our faith, 
our ministry, let us use it in 

816
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,720
our ministering. 
He who teaches in teaching, He 

817
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:16,240
who exhorts in exhortation, He 
who gilds with liberty, He who 

818
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,400
leads with diligence, He who 
shows mercy with cheerfulness, 

819
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:27,640
let love be without hypocrisy. 
But when we if you identify, 

820
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,480
write this down. 
Lord, give me this. 

821
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:37,000
Identify someone with an 
unresolved root problem and more

822
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,120
than likely you'll be 
identifying someone who resists 

823
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,600
the suggestion that he or she 
has a problem. 

824
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,520
Right, So true. 
Because they realize, you know, 

825
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,400
most, most people that are 
addicted to things, they had to 

826
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,440
1st realize I am that. 
That's not who Christ made me, 

827
00:47:57,720 --> 00:47:59,960
but that's what I've become. 
That's what I've made of it. 

828
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,280
And we have to step out from 
that place and realize it could 

829
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,160
be generational curses. 
It could be, it could be all the

830
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,520
kinds of things. 
But the truth is it really 

831
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,520
doesn't matter what it is. 
I've got to take the authority. 

832
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,400
I've got to operate in the gifts
of the spirit of the working of 

833
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,440
miracles and the casting out of 
demons and all those things to 

834
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,400
get it out of my life, right? 
It doesn't matter where I got 

835
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,000
it. 
When I walk around with the flu,

836
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,080
you know, I hear people say, 
well, I went over there and I 

837
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,960
got, I really don't care where I
got it. 

838
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,960
That's not important. 
I went well. 

839
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,720
Well, if I hadn't went over, I 
wouldn't be still sick. 

840
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,520
So let's quit talking about 
where you got it. 

841
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,480
Let's talk about how to get 
well, right. 

842
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:41,920
But we get hung up on where we 
got it. 

843
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,400
Get hung up on what? 
God's got the sixth thing, 

844
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,080
spirit of unforgiveness. 
When we have unforgiveness. 

845
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,320
Jesus thought pretty seriously 
about that, didn't he? 

846
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,240
He said if we have aught against
our brother when we pray, He 

847
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:04,600
does what? 
He does not hear our prayers, He

848
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,160
does not hear our prayers. 
So we can't have unforgiveness 

849
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,480
in our life. 
You can go home and read in 

850
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,240
Romans 12. 
We're already there. 

851
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:13,680
We'll read it. 
Verse 17 it says repay no one 

852
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,160
evil for evil. 
It's hard to do, isn't it? 

853
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,200
Have regard for good things in 
the sight of all men. 

854
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,320
If it's possible, as much as 
depends on you. 

855
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:27,480
I can't worry about whatever, 
though. 

856
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,280
They did this well, he says it 
depends on me how I return it. 

857
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,960
Right? 
But we're focused on what 

858
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,520
somebody else did. 
Live peaceably with all men. 

859
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:38,400
Men. 
It's hard to do. 

860
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,480
Beloved, do not avenge yourself.
Y'all don't get down this 

861
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,720
morning. 
We've all fallen short of this. 

862
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,360
But we need to keep reaching 
right? 

863
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,240
It should excite us. 
Beloved, do not avenge 

864
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,720
yourselves, but rather give 
place to wrath. 

865
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,440
For it is written, vengeance is 
mine. 

866
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,040
I will repay, says the Lord. 
Therefore, if your enemy is 

867
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,640
hungry, feed him. 
If he's thirsty, give him a 

868
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,960
drink. 
For in so you reap, you heap 

869
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,480
coals of fire upon his head. 
It really hurts them When you 

870
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,920
repay evil, You want to repay 
evil with good, you're really 

871
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,320
hurting them. 
But I challenge you. 

872
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,200
Reach for these things, the 
gifts of the Spirit. 

873
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,840
We need them, but see so many 
have unresolved problems in 

874
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,320
their own personal life. 
But it says in Romans 8 and 

875
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,680
three, for by grace it was given
me that I say to everyone of 

876
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,000
you, do not think of yourselves 
more highly. 

877
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,320
I think that's the worst thing 
we can do in ministry. 

878
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,640
Be dignified. 
You know, I say, I've said it 

879
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,000
many times and I still I thought
I might get out from under this 

880
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,680
feeling. 
The longer I preach the gospel, 

881
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,240
the more knowledge that the Holy
Spirit revealed to me. 

882
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,960
But see the greatest deception 
in the world? 

883
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,120
What is the greatest decept? 
What cause sin? 

884
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,720
I'm beginning to think on this. 
The greatest deception in the 

885
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:07,920
world was when the serpent 
deceived. 

886
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,840
Eve was nothing wrong with what 
happened, She was just deceived 

887
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,640
about the way that it was told 
to do it. 

888
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,880
What happened? 
The first sin that was not the 

889
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,560
first sin, that the first sin 
was committed in heaven. 

890
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,760
What happened? 
Satan deceived himself because 

891
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,480
he is the accuser of the 
brother. 

892
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,000
He is the deceiver. 
He was leading worship singing 

893
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,920
in heaven's glorful band and he 
said I can be as him. 

894
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,520
So that tells me the greatest 
deception is self deception. 

895
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,800
Whether you're thinking yourself
too lowly that I could never get

896
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,280
to hear, that's deception. 
Or you think you're so high that

897
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,680
you could never fall. 
That's deception. 

898
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:56,240
As I said, identify someone with
an unresolved root problem, and 

899
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:59,320
more than likely you'll be 
identifying someone who resists 

900
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,000
the suggestion that we have the 
problem. 

901
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:05,280
But I'm telling the church has 
the problem receiving the gifts 

902
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,680
of the Spirit. 
If we have discernment, use it. 

903
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,120
If we have prophecy, use it. 
If it's praying in an unknown 

904
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,560
tongue, don't worry about what 
your neighbor thinks, use it. 

905
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:18,600
Hey, man, if it's healing, use 
it. 

906
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,920
I ain't never healed. 
Anybody have ever prayed for 

907
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,880
anybody he ever took the 
anointing of oil and played on 

908
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,280
their head and prayed for him 
and see, you may have the gift. 

909
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,200
It may be lying inside of you 
like a roaring lion wanting out.

910
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,840
But yet when we keep deceiving 
ourself, I've said it many times

911
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:40,600
in my life, I feel like I'm one 
step away from being the worst 

912
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,320
thing the that that could ever 
walk on the face of the earth. 

913
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,240
I'm one step away if I ever lay 
this mic down, if I ever quit 

914
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,760
praying. 
And, and that's the way I feel 

915
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,320
all the lives we change, all the
things we do. 

916
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,480
I still feel I'm one step away 
because I can turn and go the 

917
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,000
other way so fast if I if I let 
myself. 

918
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,800
Y'all know some of y'all are 
like that. 

919
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:07,120
Self deception sets you in some 
bad ground for the enemy to 

920
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,080
bring this destruction. 
We can't think of ourself that 

921
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,160
way. 
Ever knew someone that thought 

922
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,200
they were God's gift to women? 
I had this buddy boy. 

923
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,520
He'd walk in, just make a dummy 
of his self. 

924
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,240
Pretty soon I'll be talking to 
the girl he's won't talk to and 

925
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:29,520
I didn't do nothing because I 
just didn't act stupid, right? 

926
00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:31,880
Or maybe she likes short guys, I
don't know. 

927
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,120
She didn't like how he was 
acting but he would blow up and 

928
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,920
try to act and do these things. 
Usually when someone thinks 

929
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,360
they're God's gift to women are 
usually not. 

930
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,120
Women recognize that men think 
women are dumb. 

931
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,440
They're not dumb. 
They're very smart. 

932
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,760
The smartest creatures got. 
Let me back up. 

933
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,760
The smartest, not a creature. 
The smartest thing. 

934
00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,560
The smartest being man. 
Y'all are hard on me. 

935
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,800
You know how many words I've 
probably said this morning and I

936
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,880
messed up once and that's all 
y'all gonna remember is I called

937
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:14,270
a woman a creature. 
Have you ever knew someone that 

938
00:54:14,270 --> 00:54:19,800
thought they were God's gift to 
the pulpit but never operated in

939
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,320
the gift man? 
They had the knowledge they 

940
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,400
could rattle scriptures off 
faster than anybody, but they 

941
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:29,480
knew nothing about the Spirit. 
Knew nothing about the Spirit. 

942
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:36,320
All gifts that are mentioned 
here are not mentioned until 

943
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,640
write this down. 
This is very important. 

944
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,320
Romans 1 and 11. 
Go read that. 

945
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,960
I don't know if I'm in 12. 
Yeah. 

946
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,360
Here we go. 
Let's let's read this in 

947
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,720
closing. 
But all these gifts mentioned 

948
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:55,920
here are not mentioned until the
moral conflicts that are 

949
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,360
mentioned here in Romans are 
dealt with. 

950
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,720
Moral conflicts. 
What? 

951
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:06,320
Destroyed all the empires of the
world and America's taking the 

952
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,040
blueprint and putting it right 
up on them. 

953
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,360
Idolatry, sexual immorality, 
lust of the flesh. 

954
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:18,000
The Roman Empire fell, Egypt 
fail, Israel fell. 

955
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,280
We look at all these things, but
I want you to read this in 

956
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,760
closing Romans chapter 12. 
This is the main key to 

957
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,840
receiving the gift of the 
Spirit. 

958
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,920
I beseech you therefore, 
brethren, by the mercies of God,

959
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:36,440
that you present your bodies as 
a living sacrifice, holy and 

960
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:40,720
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. 

961
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,560
But it's easier to say I'm just 
an old Sinner saved by grace and

962
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,760
we are. 
That is a true statement. 

963
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,320
But it's an ignorant statement 
because God did save you from 

964
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,560
your sin and he did pour grace 
upon you, but he never meant for

965
00:55:55,560 --> 00:56:00,680
you to stay there struggling 
with that He says and do not be 

966
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,720
conformed to this world. 
Man, I get tears in my eyes 

967
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:08,160
every time I read this because I
see the church conforming to the

968
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,800
world. 
But be transformed by the 

969
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:17,040
renewing of your mind, that you 
may prove what is as you stand 

970
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:23,360
your feet, that you may prove 
what is that good and acceptable

971
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:30,240
and perfect will of God. 
Cain and Abel brought all 

972
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:33,680
brought things to God, right? 
They brought things. 

973
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,440
Each one had something to bring 
to them, but one God rejected. 

974
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,160
So I challenge you, reach for 
these gifts. 

975
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:47,320
Deal with yourself, let the Holy
Spirit begin to come into your 

976
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,600
life. 
And I'm going to get back into 

977
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,360
some of this. 
I got a whole nother list here 

978
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,320
of of unresolved root problems 
that I close with. 

979
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,240
So y'all remember that I might 
go there next week. 

980
00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:58,240
But you know, a lot of not 
receiving the gifts of the 

981
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:03,400
Spirit is because we eject, we 
reject authority, we reject the 

982
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,280
authority. 
God has authority over us. 

983
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,080
He created us. 
The church even has a problem 

984
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,200
with moral purity. 
We have to preach it sins. 

985
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,280
OK, that you're OK, that you're 
OK. 

986
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,640
There's a lack of commitment. 
You're not going to receive 

987
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,240
these and problems with 
worldliness. 

988
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,800
That's a whole nother message. 
I'm going to close, but aren't 

989
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,960
you thankful for the gifts of 
the Spirit today? 

990
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,120
Don't you need them? 
Don't you want to grow in them? 

991
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,560
Now you got something, you know,
you come here thinking you was 

992
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,480
an OK Christian and I'm not 
saying you're not OK, but I'm 

993
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,200
saying you're not using all that
God's giving you, right? 

994
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,960
I got to discern some things. 
But you know, the easiest way to

995
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,720
do it is just let the word of 
God as you bow your head, 

996
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,920
release all authority to him. 
God. 

997
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,920
As we do that, as the song 
plays, how many would say God? 

998
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,480
I release authority to you today
and simply say Word of God 

999
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,080
speak.
