You read the very same chapter 188 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,120 and you see how the very same people at the fireworks. 189 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,760 We cannot do it without the fireworks. 190 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,360 We need the fire, but we see how that became a new lifestyle. 191 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,320 Hi come on come on, you got a flow with me today because this 192 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,320 is a word from heck and I want to show it to you because the 193 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,320 same chapter watch this verse 4 to 2. 194 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,960 They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to finish 195 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,440 up. We thank God for fellowship, to 196 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,960 the breaking of bread, to prayer. 197 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders signs performed 198 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:35,360 by the Apostles. All the believers were together 199 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760 had everything in common. They sold property positions to 200 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,520 give to anyone who had me. Every day they continued to meet 201 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,880 together where in the temple courts they broke bread so they 202 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680 was breaking up bread. Their homes ate together with 203 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,000 glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the 204 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,760 favor of all the people and the Lord and added this your soul 205 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,600 willing added to the number daily those who were being 206 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400 saved. So that is the same chapter 207 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,840 where we've seen fireworks and it has gone into can we see the 208 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,320 new lifestyle where it's become a fireplace of Acts. 209 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,360 Chapter 2 starts with the fireworks. 210 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,560 The fire falls and then it goes the end of the chapter, a new 211 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,600 way of passionate on fire living. 212 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,920 So what's happened? The fire followed them home. 213 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,360 It did not stay at Pentecost. The fire did not stay in the 214 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,160 upper room. It had not locked into one 215 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,400 church, pulling church to the church conference. 216 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,760 It flowed into the streets. It flowed into their families, 217 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,440 their everyday decisions, their choices, their tables, their 218 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,040 kitchens, their giving, their word, their conversations. 219 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,040 And so the purpose of the Holy Ghost and fire. 220 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:02,120 OK, the Pentecost, it wasn't just a fireworks wow moment, but 221 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,440 it became a lifestyle of loving one another, serving one 222 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,440 another, generosity. We see it, I broke up miracle 223 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,360 signs, wonders, We see soul winning. 224 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,520 People are getting saved. That's the purpose of pentacles. 225 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Somebody said Hallelujah. And that's what this chapter 2 226 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440 that we just read when the Bible's talking about, it's not 227 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,680 just the ones off place. It's not just the walls or 228 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:35,680 fireworks, but it's got to be a fireplace and lifetime of never 229 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,040 lacking zeal. It's not just for A105020 year 230 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,720 period or or just a week or day. It's a lifetime, whether we we 231 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:56,560 19 or 91, never lacking zeal, always passionate boiling. 232 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760 You know, I remember when I was a student. 233 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,360 And so the fireworks started for me. 234 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,880 You know, when Doctor Rodney R Brown tried for us, we received 235 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,040 the fire of God. I mean, this is going back 25 236 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,720 years ago when I was 1920 and those fireworks that I 237 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,200 experienced the Holy Ghost of Fire. 238 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,720 I literally went onto the streets in Sunnyside. 239 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,680 I got people off the streets. I preach. 240 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,200 I just get people's left, right and saying to these people that 241 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480 got to your your door, they want to sell they they mobile device 242 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,800 accessory. I'm just preaching left, right 243 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,640 and said to getting the results with people that were literally 244 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,440 on the streets, helpless people. The fire of God hit them. 245 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,640 They got saved. And I love what Doctor Rodney R 246 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,160 Brown said, right, I've got a job for you. 247 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,880 So what we do is we give people a job. 248 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Like on that conference, if you don't have a job, people 249 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,080 standing, so I'm going to give you a job. 250 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,880 You just go and tell one person about Jesus. 251 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,920 I mean, I don't have to go to an office 9 till 5 and tell them do 252 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,200 a job. Who's going to put my salary? 253 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,280 God is faithful. God is your provider. 254 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,480 One person a day and you tell them about Jesus. 255 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,920 God is your provider. God will give you a job. 256 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,400 I've seen and raised up soul winners in sunny South Vic in 257 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320 South Africa. And then God started placing. 258 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,840 So you see, from fireworks to fireplace. 259 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,640 And So what happened was I've had like some family member, 260 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,320 well, imagine some people like actually critics and they said, 261 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,480 oh, no, you know, well, we know, you know, he, he will just be a 262 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,440 face. He's just a student and, you 263 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,760 know, he's been through some of these radical, charismatic 264 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,800 doctor Cornell Brown meetings, fire of God's hitting. 265 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,240 And so people were just telling me, don't worry, he's just going 266 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,440 through a fight. He's still young. 267 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,840 He's 1920. They didn't just go through 268 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,520 these studies because at that time I was studying my degree. 269 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,000 But what happened was on the campus, I started baptizing 270 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,160 people and the people were coming and we were saving souls. 271 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,840 And so what's happened is, and, you know, just to tell my 272 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,080 critics, OK, here we are 25 years later and I'm still on 273 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,240 fire. Oh, my God. 274 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,160 So what has happened? The fireworks became a 275 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080 fireplace. The fire followed me home. 276 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,400 The fire followed me home to Pretoria, Sunnyside. 277 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,040 The fire followed me to the UK. I'm like, turn the fire. 278 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,400 It followed me. It's not just the place, the 279 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,560 Holy Ghost Fire. It's not just for conferences. 280 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,160 It's not just for Sunday Cornings. 281 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,560 It's for every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, OK. 282 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,040 It's for every. It's for the traffic jams. 283 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480 The Holy Ghost fire is for the school runs. 284 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,480 It's for the boardroom meetings. It's for the Zoom calls. 285 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,000 It's for our marriages, our families, our kids, the Holy 286 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,600 Ghost Fire. And it's for the difficulties. 287 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,960 It's for the late night tears. The Holy Ghost Fire follows us 288 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,120 right there with us in the difficulty. 289 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,000 And so God wants us to walk out of these doors radiating his 290 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,680 presence. And it's a good thing. 291 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,280 It's a wonderful thing because people are always attracted to 292 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,480 light. It's like a magnet. 293 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:06,839 People wanted I've been in shocks. 294 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,960 I would go to the shops and it's amazing. 295 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,520 I would just be in the shops and I would just be having a 296 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,079 conversation with the Lord. But I, I do it like, you know, 297 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,880 discretely in my heart. It's a it's a hard thing. 298 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,160 So I'm just and people they don't realize it, but they just 299 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240 want to come and talk to me. They don't really know why, but 300 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,640 they just approached me and and and and I and I actually often 301 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,280 just realized this person standing with a basket grocery 302 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,120 store and they don't even realize why they actually talk 303 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,640 to me. Look, I thought they were asking 304 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080 me, you want to show me where this is a book? 305 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,680 Where's the milk? Where's that? 306 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,400 And then I realized they they just attracted because the 307 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280 presence of God is peace. We are living in a depressed 308 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,680 world. The culture is depressed when we 309 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,000 are carriers of his fire. Have you ever been Now for me, I 310 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240 love farming and the Bush felt on a game reserve. 311 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,840 When you put that the fire, it's amazing. 312 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,880 I've actually seen even some of the the wild animals will come 313 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,040 close because when they see when the what happens is we are 314 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,240 attracted to the fire. It's Wolf when it's cold, when 315 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,600 it's freezing, we see that. We see the, the warmth when 316 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,880 they, they want warmth, they want the fire. 317 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,760 So when they're cameras of the fire, people are attracted. 318 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,920 They attracted you because you're carrying the fire. 319 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,960 They're like, wow, you know what? 320 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,680 I actually want what you've got. They, they, it's a desire. 321 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,360 And so the fire of God is worth you when you are making dinner 322 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,320 in the kitchen, when you are with the kids, when I play with 323 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,520 the kids, the fire of God, OK, when you're answering the 324 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,320 emails, when you reply to the emails on the phone call, the 325 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,960 fire of God is burning in your heart. 326 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,680 When you have that conversation, it's burning. 327 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,120 When you're under pressure and there's difficulty, the fire of 328 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:45,320 God's like, no, thank you God that I'm not alone because it's 329 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,320 difficult. I was in moments in Bristol. 330 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,200 I mean, I was a registered manager before I started. 331 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:54,720 God said to me, every time you have that conversation, there 332 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,920 was that situation. And I, the Holy Spirit, I'm with 333 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560 you that brought so much reassurance that you're not a 334 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,800 lot. Now look, how do we keep the 335 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,880 fire burning every day? How do we do this? 336 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,680 Because this is amazing scripture. 337 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,600 It says that Leviticus chapter 6, verse 12. 338 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,640 Are you with me, somebody? It says here the fire on the 339 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,480 altar must be kicker. It mustn't go about every 340 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960 morning. The priest is to add fire. 341 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,360 OK, that's the key. Now I want you to grab this 342 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,840 today. OK, let me read you verse that 343 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,920 thing as well. It says the fire must be kicked 344 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,960 in on the altar continuously. So that's not a once off, it's 345 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,160 not a now and then thing. God says the fire must burn 346 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,680 continuously. That's all the time, 24/7, all 347 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,080 week long, all the time. OK. 348 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,520 That is the will and the purpose of God and it seems to add fire 349 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,560 with. Now Please note that first of 350 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,440 all the fire was started by God. We just read it. 351 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,520 God sent the fire and he started. 352 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,480 That's God's thought. The priest job was to add the 353 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,640 wood and throw locks on the fire so that I could keep on burning. 354 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,160 OK, and that is the same for us today. 355 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,040 God comes, we get born again saved, and then Jesus comes and 356 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,040 he partize us from the Holy Ghost of fire. 2 separate 357 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,800 salvation and then we get the fire with born, the practice of 358 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,520 the Holy Ghost of Fire. So God lights the fire, gives us 359 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,160 a hunger for his presence. He's the one that released the 360 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,480 fireworks. Think a fire price is our job. 361 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,960 Nobody can do this for us. OK, we have to each and every 362 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,920 one of us. We got us to run on fires. 363 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,000 OK now yes we come together and got annoyed. 364 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,240 But what we have to do is each and every one of us, we have to 365 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,720 put on launch on the fire. We have to keep the fire burning 366 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,080 continuously. That is our job, burning it at 367 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,600 home, at work, every day in our choices, in our decisions. 368 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,800 Now, of course, there's some days when we don't always feel 369 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,840 on fire. We don't always feel boiling hot 370 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,480 at the time. And so there is moment. 371 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,360 So there's like wake up in the morning and OK, that feel woke 372 00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,440 up tired, not in a very good mood, Phil, but under the 373 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,640 weather, OK, like this week. When was it Monday, Tuesday, I 374 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,120 was really under the weather. I got. 375 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:21,480 So it's like my sickness. I'm like, wow, but I'm going to 376 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,920 listen to the word of God. I said one thing before you 377 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,840 sleep. Oh, this work. 378 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,120 It works like it's amazing. Put on this recording Kenneth 379 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,680 Hagen and his scriptures on healing straight from the Bible 380 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,080 and he throws in but through revelation through anointing and 381 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,240 I'm like Lord, these symptoms. I feel terrible. 382 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,840 I was like went to doctor. I mean Tuesday, I don't even 383 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,120 know I'm going to make a conference. 384 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,280 I'm like this in no way is I'm going to be able to go to the I 385 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,960 said to Michelle, I said no way. So I am this is not I was 386 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,400 completely I'm like attacked Tuesday when that sickness was 387 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:07,120 just so I went to the doctor. They like, OK, but you know, so 388 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:08,960 I'm like, OK, I'm going to go to the world of God. 389 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,840 You know, you can't help me. I'm going to go to the word of 390 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,880 God and I place doctors and I thank God. 391 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,640 You know, when I put that Bible, I put it on and I went to be, I 392 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,760 listen to it. Gee, when I woke up and that 393 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,360 teaching that scriptures is, is specifically if you're attacked 394 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,840 with symptoms of sickness specifically, I'll send you the 395 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760 link. I woke up, I'm like, I'm ready 396 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,560 for the conference. God said it. 397 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,120 The word of God works. The word of God, the word of God 398 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,480 works. So yes, wake up. 399 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,400 Maybe you don't feel very under the weather. 400 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,160 Thoughts will tell you. Well, Oh my goodness, all these 401 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,280 symptoms, I don't feel well, nothing good is good. 402 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,120 I'm really gonna try then. Listen, you, we don't all wake 403 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,160 up every morning. And so we just hear everyday 404 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,040 angels singing at the end of the gate. 405 00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,360 OK, listen, let's just be honest. 406 00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:00,720 And well, there's some mornings where I'm like, OK, I don't 407 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 really feel very well today. I don't hear any angels singing 408 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,360 with my men. I don't feel on fire, but you 409 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,560 know what? I'm going to choose instead of 410 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,840 believing the feelings and the symptoms. 411 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,960 Like I felt horrible, but I am going to believe what God says. 412 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,160 I'm going to believe the word of God, and I'm going to declare 413 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,320 the word of God. And this is what I've seen with 414 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,840 David. He understood this because there 415 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,040 was times when he faced a lot of betrayal, hurt, difficulties. 416 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,200 He faced challenges. But I love what David did. 417 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,160 When you look at the Psalm 180, David, he said, this is the day 418 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,680 that the Lord has won. I will rejoice and be glad in 419 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,880 it. OK, He didn't say, Oh well, I'll 420 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920 feel now. He said, I will. 421 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,600 Now I, I don't feel very well. I feel under the weather and 422 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,400 must choose something like there's no ways I'm going to 423 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,080 make it, but I will rejoice. I make a quality decision based 424 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,040 on the word of God. I will rejoice. 425 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,400 And you see what you're actually doing is when did we choose the 426 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,200 word of God, you that is fan the flame. 427 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,880 This is our responsibility, each and every one of us, a preacher, 428 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000 we cannot do that. But fan the flame with the word 429 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040 of God, you David Stern himself and said, listen, I will 430 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,560 rejoice. I don't feel very well. 431 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,000 My body doesn't feel, but I will rejoice. 432 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,400 I thank God that and you just keep on declaring the word. 433 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,120 Thank you God that you're for me. 434 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,440 You're not against me or I thank you that goodness and mercy is 435 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,240 following me into this day. Goodness and mercy is following 436 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,400 me. And thank you, Lord, that your 437 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,000 fire is also following me. Your fire is following me. 438 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,320 Goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life. 439 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,240 You just keep on quoting it and say, yes, the feelings might not 440 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,520 feel better, but what you're doing is you're fanning the 441 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,440 flak. So I'm putting another wood lock 442 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,200 on the flight because remember, the table cannot touch your 443 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080 spirit. It might touch you and your body 444 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,280 because I was massively afflicted your sickness. 445 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,320 It was a it was an attack, filthy attack. 446 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,120 But you see, it cannot touch your spirit. 447 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,400 He can touch your body. You feel weak. 448 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,320 You feel all of the symptoms, but not your spirit. 449 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,200 And So what you do is you just take on more wood, put it on 450 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,360 your spot and let that flame, oh, I'm just going to stop that 451 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,160 fire. I'm going to burn out that 452 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,800 affliction. I'm going to burn out that 453 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,120 signal. I'm going to burn it out. 454 00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,600 And you know what happens? You go from fireworks to 455 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,440 fireplace. You got to fireplace fun 456 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,160 somebody. Yeah, I remember when we started 457 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,520 the church, she had Clown Woods. This is going back now. 458 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,520 What? I guess Lady walked in, No 459 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,040 religious background, nothing. Never, ever about churchwell, 460 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,680 she walked in the power of God, the firewood power of God. 461 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,920 She said she's never fallen under the power. 462 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,600 She found herself on the floor. The power of God was so strong. 463 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,000 It came subtle, powerfully that God healed her back. 464 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800 She could then she could never even walk along this as you can. 465 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,160 She like walk for miles. Her eyes were healed. 466 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,160 She's like, I, I like, I don't even need to wear glasses. 467 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,920 The power bar was so strong that it followed her home. 468 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,760 The fire followed her. So yeah, I got back around. 469 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,760 It's still the same bulls. Bulls were there and I'm still 470 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,320 messy. Precious difficulties there. 471 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,600 But something changed in there. The fire of God was on it. 472 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,880 The fire of God. And so when she normally when 473 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,760 things get changed in the home, she would explode, but all of a 474 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,320 sudden she stayed calm. And so when there was pressure, 475 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,440 she's like, oh, the Lord is my peace. 476 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,040 And so bulls to play and all of that, she would declare, oh God 477 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,080 is my provider. I said what happened was a few 478 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,760 days later the husband said to us, listen, what's happened to 479 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,120 my wife? What's happened to my smile? 480 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,760 He said, what's happened to me? She's a different Gods changed 481 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,840 me. And he's like, I love it. 482 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,360 I love the new version of you. I love what God has thought. 483 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:18,320 It's affected the family. You see, that is what happens 484 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,160 when the fire of God follows you. 485 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:26,160 A true transformation. It's not just a Sunday church 486 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:33,280 thing, it's an everyday thing. OK, now what about Palestine? 487 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:38,080 You know, I get tired, I run out sometimes I feel flat and 488 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,200 exhausted and worn out. Of course we all do. 489 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:47,120 But just like we take our phones and we plug it in, we plug into 490 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:51,120 the log we got to recharge. We, so we reach on and The thing 491 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:56,240 is, so if I plug my phone in a couple of days blades yesterday 492 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,280 or the day before and I leave it by Wednesday, it's going to be 493 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,840 flat. If I've not plugged it in again, 494 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,240 if I've not charged my phone, it's going to be in the red. 495 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,480 My phone's going to be flat. And so that's why we also need 496 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,920 to plug in. We need to plug in to the Lord 497 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,960 on a daily basis to recharge. So we recharge and we disconnect 498 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,880 with the Lord on a daily basis. OK. 499 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,320 And also it's not just on a Sunday. 500 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,920 So we don't if it's if it's just the Sunday and we got to play 501 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,160 all the way to no, we need to plug in every day of our lives. 502 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:33,040 OK, And I'm not talking about spending three hours a day and 503 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,840 all of that. That's about a few minutes. 504 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,560 OK, the call when you're typing. Thank you, Lord, for this 505 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,800 amazing day.

And So what seems like a small 538 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,480 flicker, just a little becomes and turns into a big flame, a 539 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,280 steady, strong, huge flame. And this is amazing because it's 540 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,800 a very powerful scripture where Arsenal Paul says to his virtual 541 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,440 son Timothy was he was really going through a difficult time. 542 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,640 And Paul says this to him. He says, listen my son, for this 543 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:53,040 reason I remind you to fan it, to flame the gift of God, which 544 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,520 is in you through the laying on of my hands. 545 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,560 So the gift is there. Sometimes it feels the flame is 546 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,080 just small, but Paul says, listen, it's there, the cliffs 547 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,320 of God, it's there. So the fire is already in you. 548 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,040 But Paul the Apostle says, listen, it's your job to fan the 549 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,680 flame. Now fan the flame. 550 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,040 You put a locker. Another the KJV version says 551 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,360 stir it up. I love that. 552 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,040 Stir it up. I remember the one time because 553 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,040 I make coffee in the morning and I don't know how you guys, but I 554 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,200 just make the short coffee because I'm up early and you 555 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,200 know, now this is before she liked she's not off sugar. 556 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,360 But anyway, so I make her the coffee and so I put sugar in and 557 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,720 I said my lovely taste the coffee and I I, I did, I did put 558 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:56,640 tissue, but I forgot to stir it. OK, OK, now my wife, she likes 559 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,360 the coffee. OK, so I'm going to make it 560 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,200 right. I'm going to the right amount of 561 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,320 MO, right amount of full of that. 562 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,160 OK, so I've got to make it right for the Sean. 563 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,560 But she that's the way she likes it. 564 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,000 So I'm like, OK, so I put a sugar in, not more than, you 565 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,400 know, 2 spoons. So I put the sugar, but I forgot 566 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:17,200 to stir it. So I gave it a coffee and it was 567 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,800 better. OK, so it was put, but it's not 568 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,840 that there wasn't sugar in. I didn't stir it. 569 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,400 The fire is in. You just need to stir sample. 570 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,800 Come on, somebody's getting it's 80 clutch. 571 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,800 It's right there. Just stir it up. 572 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,960 Somebody say stir it up. Come on, church, it's time to 573 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,280 stir it up. Come on, son, it's stir. 574 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,320 You tell your neighbor. Say it's time to stir it up. 575 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,000 Stir it up. Stir it up. 576 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000 Stir it up. Stir it up. 577 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,240 Yes, Stir it up. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. 578 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,320 Stir it up. Stir it up. 579 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,040 Stir it up. Fan the flame. 580 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,360 Even on the days when you don't feel the fire, you're guilt 581 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,280 tired ordinary. The fire is still there. 582 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,640 I'm like, wow, these symptoms, I don't feel great, but I know the 583 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,160 fire is still there. You might not see the flames, 584 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,600 you might not feel the goosebumps, but the fire is 585 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,400 still there. That sparked that in. 586 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,680 But, you know, when I was growing up, we had a fireplace 587 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:23,000 in our house. And so before we go to bed, then 588 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,960 when we just let it sort of, you know, you know, go over, go out, 589 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,880 you know, went to bed, let it die down. 590 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,200 And in the morning when I get there, you'd look at it, you're 591 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,200 like, oh, my goodness. It looked like the whole fire. 592 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,200 It's just ashes. It's just ashes. 593 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,800 It seemed like it was over. It's just grey ash, no flames, 594 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,000 nothing exciting. I mean, last night the fireplace 595 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,800 was so nice. But now the next morning, it's 596 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,560 not the same. Where is all the flames? 597 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,640 But if you just took a little poker and you just, you know, 598 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:02,240 gently, you know, move amongst the ashes, underneath the ashes, 599 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,520 there's these little ambers, you know, little great ambers, 600 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,679 burning coals, that is stall, burning, stall on fire, stall 601 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,120 alive. OK. 602 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,960 And so I just add some wood, little bits, just add wood and, 603 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,880 like, blow on it. Oh, my goodness. 604 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,320 Within minutes, the flames will be back. 605 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:27,440 Oh, and that fireplace is burning strong and it's warm and 606 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,920 it's steady. So the fire hadn't really gone 607 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,719 out. OK, just drop down to the small 608 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:34,600 embers. Now. 609 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,560 Maybe some of you, you feel like today and the the ashes and the 610 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,199 disappointments, maybe dreams that had happened. 611 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,440 Maybe things didn't work out the way that you wanted things to 612 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,199 work out in life. Praise won't answer the way that 613 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,520 you have hoped it would be answered. 614 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:56,679 OK, maybe that you just feel like I am not so excited anymore 615 00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:00,640 about life like I used to be. Always excited, enthusiastic, 616 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,600 passionate. But disappointments happened and 617 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,880 it knocked the wind out of you. Hurt, betrayal and situations, 618 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,760 busy seasons. And it's so easy to think, Oh my 619 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,720 goodness, maybe the fire was going out, you know, but God 620 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:21,160 brought me here today to tell us that the fire has not gone. 621 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,520 The fire is not going to. It's still there. 622 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,200 Come on, somebody, It's not going to. 623 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,720 It's just under the ashes. The fire. 624 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:31,800 It's just under the disappointment, OK, it's still 625 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,600 there. The amber is still there. 626 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,320 It's just under the delight. It's just under the busy 627 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,320 schedule. But there's still fire. 628 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,920 So you don't need a brand new fire. 629 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640 All that you need to do is just stir it up. 630 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,600 Just fan it into flame. The fire that is already on 631 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,480 these. Come on, somebody. 632 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,200 Yes, come on. Somebody shall stir it down. 633 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,520 Yeah, that's it. It's right there. 634 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,040 Just stir it up. Is this helping somebody? 635 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,800 Now, let me just give you another key. 636 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,720 One more key. Yeah. 637 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,520 You have to stay on fire every day is to look at this soil 638 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,600 because remember, this is a pretty amazing parable. 639 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,360 Mark chapter 4, Jesus, he tells this parabol about the former 640 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200 sovic seed. And so the seed would fall on 641 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,040 different soils. Some seed would fall on the 642 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,760 path, some would fall on the rocky rounds and get them above 643 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,800 the rocks. Some seed fall amongst the 644 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,040 fallen. Some seed fall amongst great 645 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,640 grass. But one thing that's very 646 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,520 important to notice is the same former. 647 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,280 It's the same seed, but different results, different 648 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,440 results. So the seed's powerful, the fog, 649 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,520 all that. But the difference is the swell. 650 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,920 It's different swells. So you've got the path, you've 651 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,640 got the rocky, you've got the thorns, OK, And the thorns. 652 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,560 The problem with the thorns is the chunks. 653 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:03,320 OK, so you are good sick that word of God is in you. 654 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,640 The anointing about the Holy Ghost, The potential of God is 655 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,600 the very DNA of God is in you, inside of you. 656 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,400 When you receive the word of God, it's in you. 657 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,920 So you are good seed made in the image of God. 658 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:24,280 OK, but the problem is not the seed, but sometimes the best 659 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:30,880 seed in the wrong soil. OK, they can maybe survive, but 660 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,480 they won't thrive because Jesus talks about how the thoughts 661 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,320 choke it. The worries of life, the 662 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,160 deceitfulness of riches, chasing after things, OK, the negative 663 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:47,520 voices, OK, the anger, the gossip, the toxic environments, 664 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:54,480 OK, Basically chokes. The fire it smothers, it chokes 665 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,400 and that pull you away from God and some of you were wonder 666 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,480 well, I don't know why I don't feel on fire as I used to. 667 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,320 I love God, but I don't feel that you know, I just feel 668 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:12,400 double and and just low and dry. Now it might not be a hard 669 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,560 problem. I see problem. 670 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,360 It might be a swirl problem. So really just need to change 671 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:24,760 the swirl because some way the soil, you know, issue is it's 672 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,640 sometimes who you walk with. This is a very powerful truth. 673 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,560 I've thank God, I've God showed this to me many years ago in the 674 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,840 book of Genesis. God told Abraham something very 675 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,120 powerful. He said, listen, leave your 676 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,320 country, leave your people, leave your father's house. 677 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:46,760 Abraham how people obeyed pathwayed. 678 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:53,080 How shall obedience? Big mistake because he left his 679 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,360 country. The problem was with Abraham is 680 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,560 he took his nephew. Big mistake. 681 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,800 He took his nephew when God told him very specific and God's very 682 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,880 specific, he said, listen, I want you to leave everything 683 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,600 behind. And so I'm like, OK, So you see, 684 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,880 The thing is when he took a lot with him, you remember the 685 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,480 story, Lot brought a lot of problems. 686 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,200 Yeah, Lot brought issues. He brought strife because what 687 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,160 happened was between Abraham and between Abraham's herdsman and 688 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,600 large herdsman. You can go and read it up. 689 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,600 It's all the book of Genesis. They're arguments between 690 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,520 constant arguments and what happened was because Ibrah did 691 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,080 not out by God fully. He brought Lord with him. 692 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,400 What happened was is that Ibraham had to stop clean up 693 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,000 mesas that he was not even supposed to carry because Lord 694 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,080 brought a lot of problems and so Abraham had a lot to lose. 695 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,720 OK, anyway, somebody's getting that today. 696 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,960 He had a lot to lose because you see the a lot it means violence 697 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:00,800 kind. That's a bit deep. 698 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,840 We're going a little bit deep. I mean, that's person that 699 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,160 relationship that can actually cause some deception, some 700 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,880 blinders because vile, you see, because here's the thing, it was 701 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,120 only. After Abram fully obeyed when 702 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,200 Abram finally separated from Lot when the vial was lifted. 703 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,080 Oh, I feel the anointing in this place. 704 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,360 Goddess man if goddess speaking somebody himself. 705 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,520 That's when Abraham bodies breakthrough when Lot left 706 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,600 because that very next verse. You can read it in the book of 707 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,960 Genesis says that when largely all of a sudden Abrams eyes up 708 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,720 but he could see a God says yes, lift up your eyes and see as far 709 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,240 as the north to southeast and the West. 710 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,760 See as far as you can see that shows after lot left. 711 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,560 Whoa. I know I feel the power of God 712 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,560 at this place. I feel anointing. 713 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,800 Yeah. And so every one of us, we have 714 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,760 a lot subway. It's a person that brings a lot 715 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,840 of drag on, a person that drains, a person that causes a 716 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,640 lot of headache problems, stresses, worries, sleepless 717 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:17,320 clients, that person that just, you know, I call them movers 718 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,760 like a like a vacuum cleaner. That's what I call them those. 719 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,840 We all have a lot somewhere. And so a vacuum cleaner, what 720 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:33,280 they do is you see, they a vacuum cleaner gas, they don't 721 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,000 add anything to your life. A vacuum cleaner, like they suck 722 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,640 the life. I'm like, wow, obviously means 723 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,840 time with that person on the phone or even spend time with 724 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,240 that. Oh, I feel so drained. 725 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:47,320 My God, I don't want to be around that person anymore. 726 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:56,560 No, thank you, No, thank you. No, sorry, no, I'm not going to 727 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,560 be around a vacuum cleaner. OK, listen, I just want to say 728 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,360 we love everyone. I'm going to let us just go. 729 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,480 We love everyone. I'm going we kind to everybody. 730 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,760 You have got to understand and you have got to recognize when 731 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:16,560 that is contaminating your swell, OK, OK, I just want to 732 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,360 let you know because it's a very important for some discernment 733 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,200 and recognize who is the one that's contaminating your swell, 734 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,560 OK? And so yes, we have got to use 735 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,360 discernment, especially when God has been nudging you gently and 736 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,120 saying step away from that relationship. 737 00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:40,000 When the Holy Spirit gently Knights us here and say step 738 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,480 away from that circle, step away from that relationship. 739 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:52,560 Because here is the problem. When God speaks and we stay, 740 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,280 that's a big problem. We stay because we do not want 741 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:05,280 to upset the person. I do not want to upset my 742 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,800 nephew, so I'm going to bring in with me. 743 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,680 Lord do you want to come along? Whoa, what is heavy baggage? 744 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,840 Whoa, I brand my new shirt. God said leave him by the hand. 745 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,680 No, I want thought in my life. OK, so you have got to obey God 746 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,560 because this is if you are, let me give you a loving truth 747 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,800 because what you are unwilling to walk away from when God has 748 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,720 nurturing God's been speaking, what you're really unwilling to 749 00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:37,520 walk away. That is where often times that 750 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:43,200 is where you'll stop growing. That's what smothers, that's 751 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:52,000 where we'll stop growing. Charge your fire and the Lord 752 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,320 will show you those relationships. 753 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,920 We all have them, not somewhere, and we all need to deal with it. 754 00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,560 And God will show you, I don't want to live a life, I want to 755 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,360 stand fire, so I will obey God. And so I remember by it. 756 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,920 And listen, I'm not talking about cutting off your family, 757 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,280 OK? I'm not talking about that. 758 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,760 I'm not saying being rude, but I'm just saying sometimes you 759 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,680 need to adjust your access. It's not just for every person, 760 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,560 OK? When you adjust your access for 761 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,800 some negative people and open your life for some more positive 762 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,320 people, surround yourself with positive people. 763 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,880 Come on, somebody, surround yourself with the right person 764 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,760 that's going at fire for life, that's going to help you 765 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,240 encourage your fire, get your fire, that's going to encourage 766 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,440 you to pray, to come to church. Surround yourself with that type 767 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,440 of person and make time for that. 768 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:49,320 So God and protect your fire, fan the flame. 769 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,680 I'm like, I'm like, Lord, you know, there was a time when was 770 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,200 it back in here? And I'm like, I, I just cannot 771 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,400 have another conversation with a person in South Africa. 772 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,240 I just said, listen, I'm just going to have to cut that off. 773 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,080 And as a matter of what you do, how much we do and all, it's 774 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,160 just not good enough. So I'm like, Lord, thank you and 775 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,160 God's, that's how God works with us. 776 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,640 So we got to look at this practically. 777 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,600 And so I'm going to just give you 5 simple locks, good locks. 778 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,120 Is that OK? That will help you to stoke and 779 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,920 fan the flame and keep that fire burning. 780 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,320 The very first one, the most important one, it's the word, 781 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,880 because the word is your word, the word of God. 782 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:36,200 Every time you open the Bible and you get just, I'm just 783 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,360 talking about a few minutes, read the scriptures, even if you 784 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,400 do not understand it all, but you've read those scriptures. 785 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,360 When you have that, you are adding wood, you are throwing 786 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,160 logs on the fire, you are stalking, you're fanning the 787 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,960 flame. Just a few minutes. 788 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,800 You're adding another lot of fire. 789 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,520 The second one is Thanksgiving. You know, gratitude is like 790 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,320 oxygen to fire. When we are thankful, we like 791 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,560 thank you, Lord, gratitude. The Bible says rejoice in the 792 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,040 Lord. Again I say rejoice, yeah, give 793 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,440 thanks to the Lord, wait. Give thanks to the Lord. 794 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,080 Wait, just on the good times when we've got money in the 795 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,280 bank, we give thanks. No, it says what? 796 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,640 Always, always give thanks. And I'm like, Lord, this month 797 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,280 it looks a bit short. It doesn't look very great. 798 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,640 God says give facts. Lord, I feel very sick on 799 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:25,240 Tuesday. I don't know. 800 00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:32,000 I'm going to make this comfort. God says give facts, give facts. 801 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,600 Rejoice. You see, the problem is with 802 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,440 complaining. It adds water on the logs also 803 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,880 under fire. So complaining is the opposite 804 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,520 when complaining is just let me, it's choking the fire. 805 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,360 So we got to give facts and then you stop the fire. 806 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,200 OK, so while I'm in the shop, while I'm at Tesco's, thank you 807 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,360 Lord. Thank you Lord, you're in 808 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,960 Tesco's. Thank you Lord Diamond Tesco, 809 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,520 thank you for my thought. You just give giving thanks. 810 00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:03,080 And thirdly is community the calls together. 811 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,560 He keeps trying a bride when you look at well, I like a bride. 812 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,280 So I mean, my steaks is just, you know, like I eat meats. 813 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,400 I enjoy meats. So anyways, but yeah, I mean 814 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,640 with a bird of war. So if you have a if you look at 815 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,800 the bride, the ball, the cold staying together, it stays hot. 816 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,160 Am I right? When they've coughed cover, it's 817 00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:31,920 so hot when the cold stay together. 818 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:38,200 You see the problem is when the coal falls off, that's a big 819 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,880 problem when the coal falls off from the rest of the calls 820 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:49,320 becomes called very quickly. That's when a believer isolates 821 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,760 himself. OK post, we are not coming to 822 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,280 church. I will do my own thing very 823 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,160 dangerous. This is a listen, I'm talking 824 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,960 about a publical principle across in God's Kingdom. 825 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,160 God's idea, God's plan is the local church. 826 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,160 And so it matters to come to church. 827 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,320 Listen, all the efforts climbing, feel getting dressed, 828 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,600 get the kids, it matters. And let me just tell you, 829 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,480 there's no perfect church. So if you're going to start 830 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,480 hopping to churches, go for it. But I could not advise it. 831 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,240 I would say because when people start hopping, you see them 832 00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:32,400 after two years coming back and they've not grown. 833 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,760 I'm like waste the future in your life of your ground. 834 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,440 And I've been to that church, that church, that church, that 835 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,200 church. You see what happens is it's 836 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,960 important to be planted in a church. 837 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,480 You're never going to find a perfect church, the local body 838 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,560 of Christ. That means God chooses to work 839 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,960 for imperfect people. He chooses to put local churches 840 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,480 in place, plants us there. Find a local church where God 841 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,760 plants you. Stay. 842 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,840 And so God, he's the one that moves us on, not out of a fence. 843 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,760 Oh, I got upset because brother, son, and son, well, I got upset 844 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,080 about that one. Listen, forgive, stay with God. 845 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,680 Don't let a fence remove you from the church. 846 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,560 Don't isolate yourself from the church. 847 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,000 Stay together because coals that stay together are stronger 848 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,120 together. It is worth coming to church. 849 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,240 If we don't come to church, our children will not come to 850 00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:21,760 church. Our children will not if we 851 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,480 don't say that. And I thank God, even in my 852 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,400 traditional church and the Dutch Reformed Church outside of 853 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,960 Pretoria, my mom on a Sunday morning, come on children, we 854 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,360 are going to church. I thank God for that because 855 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,440 otherwise my children is not going to come to church. 856 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,480 And your grandchildren, I love what Doctor Rodney said. 857 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,120 He said your grandchildren will go to hell. 858 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,600 It's a it's a very it's it's so we have to end wherever we are 859 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,440 be planted together in a church because that is what happens 860 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,680 when we are planted together in God's church. 861 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:58,280 We stay our fire stays hot. Our fire stays hot. 862 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,440 OK, four point obedience. Sometimes Holy Spirit will 863 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,560 notice you let the offence go. Oh that person assert me. 864 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,520 The Holy Spirit will come. And now you say forgive, heart, 865 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,360 betrayal, disagreement, arguments, It's family, but the 866 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,320 Holy Spirit comes. Forgive there. 867 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,040 Let that God love, brother, sister, love, OK, We love one 868 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,360 another. And when you do, when you're 869 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,080 playing the promptings of the Holy Spirit, it's like taking a 870 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,440 wedlock of that fire. Oh, in that offense, when that 871 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,280 hurt, when that it comes off, it's like that fire. 872 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,720 You like bouncing back. The fire of God is just right 873 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:37,840 there.
