1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,320 So that brings me to the title of today's message on the war 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,680 worth in right. So I'll put that out there for 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,280 us. You can see the war worth. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,040 And now when it talks about the war within, Oh, thank you, 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,920 Sansi. And that's great. 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,440 We'll just get that all nicely. Then we can see the bit a little 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,760 bit better than the war within. And so we're going to look at 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720 Genesis. We're going to go to Genesis 25. 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,040 We're going to look at powerful story there. 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280 We're going to go through Roman sites and see, because this is 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,520 the greatest battle, the greatest battle in your life. 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,480 It's not always what's going on around you in the world. 13 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,960 The economy, the difficulty, the challenges, the finalists. 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,040 It's not what's going the greatest guy is within you. 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,360 It's this war within you between the old nature and the new 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,640 nature, the spirit and the flesh in the book of Romans chapter 8, 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,520 that is the battle between. And listen, every believer knows 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,520 this, every one of us, every believer that's born and has got 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280 a new nature, that is this battle. 20 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:06,560 You can be standing and praising and worshipping God. 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,480 You can be praying, you can be feeling the praises of God. 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,960 You can drive back home and somebody cuts off in traffic. 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,560 One person says one wrong thing and another version shows up and 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,840 you're like, oh, where did that come from? 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,280 How did that happen? And somebody says something 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,680 wrong at home and that version shows up and you're like, how 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,040 did that happen exactly? OK, it's the war within. 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,280 It's another version. That's two versions, everyone. 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,120 We have two versions, 2 natures inside of us. 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000 OK, every one of us. But now let me just give you the 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,240 good news when it comes to this powerful, this battle, this 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,720 greatest battle that is within us. 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,920 The good news is you are not powerless, but through the Holy 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Spirit, we have got the power to win the war within Hallelujah. 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,120 Somebody shot Hallelujah because I feel it right, The power of 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Holy Ghost winning the war with, I mean, right now Genesis 25, 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,320 let's go to our main text and the Word of God, verse 22. 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,480 We'll pick it up there. It says there, but the children 39 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,080 struggle together say struggled within her talking about Rebecca 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000 and she said if all is well, why am I like this? 41 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,680 OK, so why, why is this happening to me? 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,240 So she went to inquire of the Lord. 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000 So she asked the Lord. The Lord said to her, two 44 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000 nations on your womb, 2 people shall be separate from your 45 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,920 body. One people shall be stronger 46 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,240 than the other. Now watch this. 47 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,720 The older shall serve the younger. 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,280 Hallelujah. Let's pray. 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Father, we thank you for your praises. 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,720 Holy Spirit, welcome in this place. 51 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,280 Come, this is your service. Have your way. 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600 Move freely amongst every one of us. 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Lead us today in Jesus mighty name. 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,800 Everybody said Amen. So this passage in the 55 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,880 scripture, it talks about Rebecca that is pregnant with 56 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,040 twins Jacob and Isha and the Bible says there's a struggle on 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,680 the inside of her in a womb. Something is hard. 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600 This is unusual. It's not just a normal movement. 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,760 There's an unusual movement, but this is talking about a struggle 60 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,320 in the womb. There is a fight. 61 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,440 There is a battle that is going on in side of her womb in this 62 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,280 passage of Scripture. And so this battle that's going 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,200 on in the side the bottles where it talks about two babies, two 64 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,160 nations, 2 features, one womb inside of her. 65 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,480 There's a fight. There's a battle between the two 66 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:48,440 and she's asking God, God, why is this happening to me now? 67 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,960 Have you ever asked that God, why is there it feels like I'm 68 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,360 being pulled in two different directions. 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,640 Have you ever had those? You've been asking the law Lord, 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,080 why does it kill like I've been torn apart in two ways. 71 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Why is it that I want to do the right thing but I'm still being 72 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,160 pulled into the wrong key. Come on this Paul the apostle 73 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480 mature question. Paul the apostle said I don't do 74 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,920 what I want to do. I do the wrong. 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,200 I do what I hate. Romans tried to save the Bible. 76 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,000 That's what Paul says so or why is this struggling me? 77 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240 Why is it that I'm feeling being pulled into this way, that 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,959 direction? Why is this struggle? 79 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,520 And so God told Rebecca, there is 2 nations inside of you. 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,280 That's not just the story about Rebecca. 81 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,440 That is a picture of every believer. 82 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:38,600 There's two natures in US, two versions to pass in each and 83 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,000 every one of us. The war with in each one of us. 84 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,760 And so you have two versions, 2 versions. 85 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,840 There's one positive faithful version, and then there's one 86 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,680 negative doubt version. So there's two versions, the 87 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,480 flesh and then the spirit. And those two are in conflict 88 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,000 with one another. They're the opposite. 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,400 The old nature, that's the flesh. 90 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320 The new nature is the spirit. And so they oppose one another. 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,440 The two forces, the nature, the two versions inside of you don't 92 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,720 agree. They want to do 2 different 93 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,600 things. They opposed. 94 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,920 The Bible is very clear. Let me read that to you that 95 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,400 they are in opposition, okay. They are in conflict with one 96 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,000 another. Paul said in Galatians 5 or 17, 97 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,120 it says for the flesh lust against the Spirit. 98 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,120 So the flesh and infrared against each other, they spur it 99 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,360 against the flesh and these are contrary. 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,400 So they oppose one another so that you do not do the things 101 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 that you do. So we've been feel like you've 102 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,400 been, I want to do the right thing, but Paul says I'm doing 103 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560 the wrong thing, I'm doing the thing that I hate. 104 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,920 And so those two they are not they don't want the same thing. 105 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240 They are at war on the inside of you. 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,040 That is why you can look very good and strong on the outside, 107 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080 but you are battling and wrestling on the inside. 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,800 The one moment you're going to be full of faith, crazy worship 109 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,680 is you full of faith. The very next moment, fear. 110 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,880 Once you try and take and rule and take over the two Persians. 111 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,680 And so it doesn't see, that doesn't mean because there's a 112 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,280 struggle inside of you. It doesn't mean that there is 113 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,560 something wrong with you. It means that there is a wall on 114 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,880 the inside of you. And we see this so clearly. 115 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320 And I'm going to show you an example of Peter. 116 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,560 Peter love Jesus, very loyal to Jesus, one of his disciples, 117 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,840 very loyal and bold to Jesus. Even when they came to erase 118 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,240 Jesus, Peter was the one that protected Jesus. 119 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,560 Remember, Peter was the one pulled out the sword, right, 120 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,440 protected you there. He was bold Peter protective 121 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Peter strong rock A little while later, standing at a fire and 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,200 somebody says, oh, we know who you are. 123 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,560 You're one of his disciples. Go. 124 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760 I don't know Jesus. Deny Jesus. 125 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,720 We stop Peter now. So again and again they keep on 126 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,480 asking him, Oh, you are one of them. 127 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,200 We know you're a disciple. No, I don't know Jesus. 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,440 I don't know him. So by this time, Gee, Peter is 129 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,640 now angry. He's cursing. 130 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,840 He's cursing. OK, what's happened? 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120 The two versions, the other Peter showed up. 132 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,280 So Peter went from denying from protecting Jesus to denying 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Jesus. So there he is protecting. 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880 He was a strong the rock, but all of us are of his denying 135 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,280 Jesus. 2 visions, 2 natures. OK you're getting this. 136 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,960 So the one moment he's defending Jesus, that's the one Peter. 137 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,200 And then the next moment is denying Jesus 2 pizzas. 138 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,760 The 1 is a bold Peter and the other one is a fearful Peter. 139 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,400 Two natures inside of each of us. 140 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760 OK. And so I want you to get this 141 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,520 because we're going to go and I want to see how this one 142 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,520 person's got two different responses, two different 143 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,120 versions. And so Peters failure and this 144 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,040 is the grace of God did not cancel his calling. 145 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080 God didn't throw him away. You couldn't throw my restore 146 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040 and remember what happened on day of Pentecost. 147 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,080 And this is so powerful because Holy Spirit the Spirit of God 148 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,320 and power and the same man that denied Jesus became the same 149 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:24,200 that a man that declared Jesus and thousands got saved 150 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,720 thousands got come to Christ. They say now that deny Jesus now 151 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,880 declared Jesus 2 natures. What Holy Spirit poem this is 152 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400 put it on the river on the diaphenticles were poured out 153 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,600 and he was charged. So if you've had a struggle and 154 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,240 a battle on the inside of you, get ready for the power of the 155 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,400 Holy Ghost to bring a shift, to bring a transformation, because 156 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,240 you're going to win the war within by the power of God, by 157 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,720 living a spirit LED life. I mean, somebody, yeah, the 158 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,640 power of the Holy Ghost, that's a spirit LED life. 159 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,520 You win the war within. And so, baby, yes, you have let 160 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,920 the old nature get up too many times. the US should have. 161 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,320 But that does not mean it cancelled your future doesn't 162 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,840 mean it's cancelled your holy, doesn't mean God's front your 163 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680 way. OK. 164 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800 So it's the nature. Just be encouraged today because 165 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,920 I believe that by the Spirit of God that you are stepping into a 166 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,480 higher level of victory, of freedom of favor. 167 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,040 And just like Peter, there's going to be a winning, there's 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,760 going to be a turn around.

Just because there's been a 178 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,120 struggle, a war, a battle within you, that doesn't mean God's 179 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,000 finished with you. The struggle, the war, the 180 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,560 pulling between inside of you. It just means that there is a 181 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,640 now a new nature inside of you. It means you've now become born 182 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,600 again and you've got a new nature. 183 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,840 And this new nature that is on the inside of you is ready to 184 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,400 win.

That's why when we get born 187 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,000 again, we get a new nature and the new nature says, listen, I 188 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,680 am now here to lead the way. No more flesh. 189 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,760 Flesh has been there for long enough. 190 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,720 Now you're born again. Now we're going to do something 191 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,480 different. We're going to live for a 192 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,280 different lives. Now we're going to live 193 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800 victoriously. Hallelujah. 194 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,080 Somebody give God some things. Oh Hallelujah. 195 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,960 That's just good at life, OK, because that's what the Bible 196 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,840 says, that we are now a new creation. 197 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,320 Second parenthesis, it talks about we have become a new 198 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120 creation. The old nature has passed away. 199 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,320 OK, so that's been very passed away. 200 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,880 Now all things have become new right now because it's passed 201 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,560 away, that does not mean because it's been buried. 202 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:30,080 It doesn't mean OK, that we that we still need to deal with the 203 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,840 flesh every day. The Bible says Paul the apostle 204 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,600 again says I die daily. So the flesh needs to be subdued 205 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,520 and dealt with, crucified every day. 206 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,320 We have to deal with the flesh and tweet it out of the way. 207 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,560 That's Apostle Paul. He wrote so much of the New 208 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,360 Testament. He showed miracles he planted 209 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,160 and Paul had to deal with the flesh every day. 210 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,440 He said I die daily, not once a month around now and then, OK. 211 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,640 And so every day we have to say no to something. 212 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,520 We have to say no, OK. And so we've got to bring the 213 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,360 flesh under the leadership of the Spirit, right? 214 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,160 And so we've got to say no. Flesh, you are not in charge. 215 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,320 I'm not born again. There's no new nature in me. 216 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960 Now listen, flesh, you've got to be subdued. 217 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,440 Now the spirit is the new leader. 218 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,360 Now the spirit is the boss. And so we see it all the time. 219 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,720 You know, this nature, we just, you know, walk around. 220 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,040 If you, let's say you go to one of the shops or you can be 221 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,720 walking around in the Lexicon shopping centre and you know, 222 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:44,240 all of a sudden you just smell some fresh doughnuts and you 223 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,960 know these fresh doughnuts and basils and chocolate roll and 224 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,400 he's, you smell like Donuts 3 shops away and you walk and 225 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200 you're like, OK, wow, that smells really nice. 226 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,320 And so the new man, the new creation, the new nature says 227 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,280 just walk by. You don't need that today. 228 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:18,960 But yes, that's the war within the old nature says and now the 229 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,880 old man, the old nature may be dead and buried, but apparently 230 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:31,200 you can still smell that flesh nature. 231 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,120 That would be better than dog though, but they can still smell 232 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,680 and it can all of a sudden become very loud. 233 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,720 You don't just need one donut, you need 3 Donuts. 234 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,200 Oh, you know what, even basic, you've had a hard day, you've 235 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:54,120 had a very hard week. Take 5 Donuts, chocolates and 236 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,280 that thing is so loud and that place becomes all all of a 237 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,440 sudden and have you ever had this racial and you're sort of 238 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,360 thinking, OK, Lord, let's, let's make a deal yet. 239 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,560 We pray that you produce the calories and Lord, if you can 240 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,640 take this donut, you can actually in some way, Lord, just 241 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,040 reduce the fat code. Just give me turn it into a 242 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,880 reduced fat miracle doughnuts. Like you know, when you eat it, 243 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,440 it's like the calories vanish and the the sugar melts away in 244 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,360 your mouth and you're like, Lord, just remove the calories. 245 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,640 Remove the doughnuts out of this and you ask God to remove the 246 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,040 calories. Yeah. 247 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,520 And so that's what happened. You know, it's like this war on 248 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880 the inside. And so we listen. 249 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,520 It's just beyond. And we have all been there. 250 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440 This is the war exclusions we are going through in our lives. 251 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,560 Big building directions for some is different for some others. 252 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,720 Some. Some certain things, you know, 253 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,040 doesn't appeal, but other things more than that. 254 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,040 For others, some things, you know, you just know that that 255 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,120 doesn't appeal to you. But then there's other things. 256 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,000 So that's why we're all in this race, all in this battle. 257 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,120 And so, yeah, the old man might be dead and the old man might be 258 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:15,080 buried, but if you keep feeding him, he's going to get back up. 259 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640 The old man might be buried and dead, but if you keep feeding 260 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,160 him, he might get out and he'll walk around like a dead man 261 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,080 walking around. Yeah. 262 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,040 You've heard that say dead man walking. 263 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120 OK, yeah. And then, you know, keep on 264 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,400 feeding that flesh and all of a sudden that flesh is very much 265 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,360 alive. Come right back. 266 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,480 And so, yeah, I'm just walking around and trying to run your 267 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,520 life. OK, it keep on feeding him. 268 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,440 And so that is the war within. Even Paul said it. 269 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,480 He had to put the flesh down daily. 270 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,840 OK, it's not a once off. And so the good news is that 271 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200 when it comes to the battle within, we are not warring and 272 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800 fighting this battle on God is with us. 273 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,480 God is fighting with us. He's in this with us. 274 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,040 We are not doing this on our lungs. 275 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680 And that is the good news of this message that God is working 276 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,440 in you. And I love this verse he says 277 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,400 here because sometimes in life it feels like the flesh, it's so 278 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560 strong. The flesh is like bossy and the 279 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,880 morning, but the flesh might be bossy in the morning and wanting 280 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,960 to try and rule your life. The flesh might because the 281 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,560 flesh doesn't prompt. The flesh dictates. 282 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,040 He's a dictator. He's a very terrible boss, but 283 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,240 the spirit is stronger. There's the war between the 284 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,520 flesh and the spirit, but praise God, the spirit is stronger. 285 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,440 Now I want to show you something in Philippians 2 verse 13. 286 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,600 So it says there that for God is working in you, giving you the 287 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,760 desire and the power to do what pleases him. 288 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,800 So we are not alone in this. We're not trying to fight this 289 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,360 around. God is working in US with us, 290 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,000 giving us the power and the desire to do what is right, to 291 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,200 do the right thing. And So what we need to do is we 292 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,360 must not follow our own way. We must yield and surrender to 293 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,520 God and say, right, I'm going to follow the leader. 294 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,960 I'm going to follow this first. So Holy Spirit, you lead me. 295 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,800 And that is our prayer. And I just love that song. 296 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Spirit, lead me. And if you say it's wrong, then 297 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,200 I say no because God puts that desire. 298 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,680 And God says, if you say release, I'm letting go. 299 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,160 If you say trust, I will obey it. 300 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,000 I don't want to follow my own ways. 301 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,680 And I'm not chasing feelings, OK? 302 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280 And I love those lyrics when it says that even when I don't make 303 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040 sayings, I'm going to let your spirit lead. 304 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,920 Spirit, lead me. Come on, Sir, Spirit lead me. 305 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,200 That's the heart of this message. 306 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:43,120 That's the prayer today of this message. 307 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:50,400 Spirit, lead me, lead my life. Because winning the war with 308 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,560 him, one of the greatest wars in our lives. 309 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,560 Now I'm going to show you the others now in a minute. 310 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,000 But when in the war in our life, it's not a once off. 311 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,840 This is not something that we just do as a once of Jesus said, 312 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,280 carry your cross daily. So it's not once off. 313 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,640 It's not just on a Sunday when we come to church every day, we 314 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,880 are walking the stream. That's why Paul says die daily. 315 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,760 So it's an everyday battle. Now some battles are quick and 316 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,400 instant. Again, we thank God for those 317 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600 battles quickly, addiction, right? 318 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,560 Like that, that's all. Thank God for that. 319 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,560 But then these battles that takes longer. 320 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,760 And I just want to be really and honest and I just want to show 321 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920 you from the Bible, I want to show you 2 examples from the 322 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,440 life of David because there was a quick and then there was a 323 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,400 long. Now the quick battle, we find 324 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800 that in the book in the Bible, it talks about how David 325 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,680 defeated Goliath. That was instant. 326 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,880 It was right there a few minutes in a moment. 327 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,360 That was a very quick battle over and done, great victory, 328 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,120 well done. But then there's long battles, 329 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,320 the longer battles that was a battle that took for years. 330 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,920 So God sometimes come in with instant battles on the map and 331 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,640 then is he allows battles that takes on. 332 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,840 So for instance, Saul, Saul kept on opposing David for years. 333 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,120 It was not like David and Goliath in one moment David 334 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,880 concrete, well done, great victory. 335 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,160 No, this one get on. He kept on throwing Spears 336 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,640 chasing David on for years. So that's a battle that took on 337 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,240 a long time in his life, and it's a longer battle. 338 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,720 And so every one of us, we have some quick, better than we have 339 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,440 Lombard. Every one of us, we have a soul 340 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,000 now. It might be bitterness, it might 341 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,840 be unforgiveness, it might be gossip, it might be offense, 342 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,000 okay? It might be negativity or 343 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,080 criticism or insecurity. Some enemies God removes 344 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,800 instantly and he takes care of them there and then. 345 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080 And we thank God for those powerful testimonies that we 346 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,760 have. Person has been addicted for a 347 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,720 long time and addiction just broke off on his screen. 348 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000 We thank God for that. That's a moment, but thank God 349 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,440 allows certain battles to go on for years. 350 00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:00,040 He allows you to give you the grace to overcome them one step 351 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:06,120 at a time, one choice at a time. Those battles, OK. 352 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,760 And so every time you choose to forgive when you could have hold 353 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,800 bitterness, you're growing. One step at a time. 354 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,240 And so those battles, they they carried on out one step at a 355 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240 time. And so, yeah, you choose when 356 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,680 you could have exploded, you could have had a a foot, a 357 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,480 tantrum, screaming, shouting. But you say calm, you're 358 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,520 growing. You could have got angry, but 359 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,720 you decided to stay calm. Now you're growing Those 360 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,440 battles, you see what we're talking. 361 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,080 You walk away from temptation through growing, OK. 362 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,240 And so every time you choose this spirit over the flesh, you 363 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,520 are growing. So don't let the long battle 364 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,400 wear you down. Don't let the soul and that 365 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520 battle, the kids wear you down to the point where you say, 366 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,760 well, this is just who I am. I am just an angry person. 367 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,960 I'm just this type of a bird. Don't do rise up. 368 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,520 Stand in the spirit, OK, and announce to that show and say 369 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,880 you're not going to keep it from my listing. 370 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,160 I'm not giving up. This battle might be going on. 371 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,560 It seems like this flesh is strong. 372 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,800 But listen, the spirit is stronger and I'm going to keep 373 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,840 on walking in the spirits. This flesh might be Bossier and 374 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,760 strong and trying. But listen, I'm going to keep on 375 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,640 going. I'm going to keep on going. 376 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Hallelujah, somebody OK. And so now the Bible gives us a 377 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,720 very, very powerful prophetic insight in the outcome. 378 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,320 Oh, I love the result. I love it when God goes into the 379 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,600 he gives us the he gives us the answer. 380 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,240 I love it when God gives us the outcome. 381 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,120 And here we see this prophetic insight in the structure in 382 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,400 Genesis chapter 24 five, God gives us the outcome. 383 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,560 Are you ready for this? Are you ready for the outcome? 384 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960 Somebody? Because this is powerful, OK. 385 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,040 And so he gives us the outcome because he will give us this, 386 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,720 this prophetic insight on what will happen with these two 387 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440 natures. Are you ready for this? 388 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,720 I'm like, yes, but I want to know what's happening between 389 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,400 these two natures, these two versions, the old version and 390 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:17,360 the new version. The Bible says the older will 391 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:23,160 serve the younger. Somebody's already getting it. 392 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,400 You already, you already got it. That's just not right in that 393 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,000 you got the revelation. That's powerful. 394 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,200 OK, So I want you to listen. It says this is when God says, 395 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,240 OK, so he gives us the order of the struggle. 396 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,920 So when he says in Genesis 25 that that the older will serve 397 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,840 the younger, there it is. So this is not talking about 398 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,200 your age, OK, whether you are another first born family, OK, 399 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,800 Like me, I'm the first born, I'm a family. 400 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,960 So it's not about your age, how old you are, like, so relax. 401 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,880 The older ones of the younger, like my younger brother in South 402 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,560 Africa, I'm like, listen, OK? Listen. 403 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,200 So it's not talking about first born, OK, your age. 404 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,200 This is something much deeper. Yeah. 405 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,880 OK. Can we go a little deeper here 406 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,880 today? Is that OK? 407 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,160 And tell your neighbor, get ready. 408 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,880 We're going deeper now, Father, get ready. 409 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,680 OK. Because we are going deeper. 410 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,960 Yeah, This is. We're going to go for it. 411 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,880 OK. So let me share this with you 412 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,840 because this is a story. I was born in the 70s, born in 413 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,960 Pretoria. And so for years, growing up in 414 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,800 Pretoria, for years, I did what come naturally. 415 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,440 The flash nature. The flesh was a boss. 416 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,280 The flesh was in charge for years. 417 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,320 But then something amazing happened. 418 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,000 I got born again when I got safe and born again when I got a new 419 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,080 nature. Now I'm learning every time to 420 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:54,240 subdue the flesh with all the watchers, the younger one. 421 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,800 Somebody's getting this. Are you getting this? 422 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,240 You got this. You're following this. 423 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,160 OK, you understand because before you came to Christ, the 424 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,000 flesh had years of practice. The flesh was the flesh was the 425 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,680 boss for years in charge before you came to Christ. 426 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,720 And so there's the flesh and it's got the practice in charge 427 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,040 for years. OK, imagine this, Let's say you 428 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,200 spent your first 20-30 years before you come to Jesus, before 429 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,920 you receive, before you got born again for 20-30 years. 430 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,640 Who was in charge for all those years? 431 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,840 The flesh. So for flitzy years, the flesh 432 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,560 is a child. So the flesh knew how to worry, 433 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240 how to gossip, how to argue, how to get offended. 434 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:48,600 The fresh knows the flesh for all those years, so the flesh so 435 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,200 for. Let's say it's the 30 years, the 436 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,640 flesh is the older one. Now we get born again. 437 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,000 A new nature comes in, new creation. 438 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,960 So let's say you've been born again now for five years. 439 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,680 So there's a younger 1. You understand what I'm saying? 440 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,680 So the spirit, younger one, the spirit, you've got a life. 441 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,600 You got born again that's younger. 442 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,720 The flesh has been in charge for 30 years. 443 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,600 The flesh wants to be the boss. Now here comes the new nature. 444 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,720 Now they're opposing one another. 445 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,360 Now this one, the young one saying we want to do things 446 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,240 differently now we want to love people, we want to forgive 447 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,600 people. We want to be crying. 448 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:41,120 The first dictator says, I'm the dictator, I'm the boss. 449 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,720 You will be offended. This is now the Bible comes. 450 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,160 The scripture says the only one will serve the young. 451 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,800 Wow, my God. Oh, so the old was served, the 452 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,760 new, so the old. That means the old habits, the 453 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,920 old pattern of thinking, the old cycles. 454 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,280 They don't get to lead anymore, even though they're the older 455 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,920 one. They don't get to lead anymore 456 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,080 because now what's happened, You've got a new leader. 457 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:26,960 You've got a new leader. Oh, Hallelujah. 458 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,320 And so you get born again. You get safe. 459 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,640 Thank God we got a little leader. 460 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,080 You got a new leader in your heart, in your life. 461 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,600 And so somebody says for it, lead me. 462 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,040 Yeah. Follow the leader God, because 463 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,600 God never intended for the flesh to lead your life. 464 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,640 God never intended for the flesh, created you for the flesh 465 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,240 to be controlled by the cravings of the fleshly nature, the 466 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,920 fleshly desires. And Genesis 25, it shows us 467 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,560 something very powerful about the danger when the flesh leads. 468 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,640 Oh, and the flesh wants to take the steering wheel and the flesh 469 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,480 wants to lead the danger. And let me show you. 470 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,040 Because he also came from the field and he was hungry and his 471 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,040 brother Jacob was cooking the the Stew, the bowl of Stew. 472 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,280 And so in one flesh moment, he tried his birthright. 473 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,640 Yeah, for a bowl of Stew. Now think about that. 474 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,200 His birthright, his inheritance, his future, his placings, 475 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,400 legacy. He tried it, that for a bowl of 476 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:40,000 Stew, the cravings of the flesh, the last of the flesh, the pride 477 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:46,280 of life, that gratification, it wants instant gratification, 478 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:49,600 wants it now. That's flesh gratification. 479 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:50,960 That's not the place, that's not the ice. 480 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Pride of life, instant gratification, it wants it now. 481 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,160 And yes, he is so. And he looked at that bowl of 482 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,800 Stew and he valued the bowl of Stew more than he's burnt right 483 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,120 to value that fresh pressure, that gratification, that is the 484 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,360 more than his inheritance. What do we value? 485 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,040 And he tried it, his legacy. That is what happens when we 486 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,440 allow the fresh to lead. We try things in our lives. 487 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,480 And so you may seem small, just one small compromise, just one 488 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,000 little gossip, one thing. But small choices can have major 489 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,680 big consequences, OK. And everyone of us in our lives, 490 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,040 we have Easter moments when we are in the choice. 491 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,480 Now, are we going to choose the flesh or the spirit? 492 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,720 What are we going to choose? And so those moments, especially 493 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:49,200 when we are tired, emotional, frustrated, looking for relief, 494 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,000 that is when the flesh gets loud and the flesh wants to dictate 495 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,960 and very loud and very bossy and wants to dictate to us. 496 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,040 But remember, the flesh may be loud maybe, but the spirit is 497 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,680 stronger. Amen, somebody. 498 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,920 It's fairly stronger. It's stronger. 499 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:17,000 So just ask yourself today, what pole is trying to buy your 500 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:24,400 birthright? One craving is trying to control 501 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:30,320 your calling. 1 craving. OK, what is that? 502 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:36,240 Because once you know clearly, you can decide differently. 503 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,400 And when you choose right, when you choose to obey, when you 504 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,600 choose purpose your future, when you choose the right thing, 505 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:55,700 you're winning the war there. So now the one of the greatest 506 00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:59,860 truths in the Bible and we Paul says it what you show your reap. 507 00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:03,220 Yes, all throughout the Bible Biblical principle all 508 00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,540 throughout what you show your reap and he says here Galatians 509 00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:09,540 6 verse 8. It says for if he shows to his 510 00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:12,380 flesh will of the flesh reap corruption. 511 00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:15,980 But if he shows the spirit will of the spirit reap everlasting 512 00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:18,140 life. So every time you do the right 513 00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:21,800 thing, you are sowing peace, you're showing joy into your 514 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,680 future, and you're showing blessing into your fear. 515 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,680 Every time you choose the right thing, do the right thing. 516 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,200 Now, here's the key. So what you feed is what grows. 517 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Yeah, inside what you feed is what grows. 518 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,680 OK. And so your old nature, the old 519 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,280 self, is not as strong as it looks. 520 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,920 It just sometimes feels strong because it keeps getting fit. 521 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,480 That's why it feels tough. Remember when I said earlier on, 522 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,560 yes, they read and all that, but keep feeding. 523 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:07,560 That's where it feels strong. Because if you feed anger, the 524 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760 more you feed anger, the more anger grows. 525 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,000 The more you feed fear, fear grows, then becomes bigger. 526 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,560 The more you feed offence, the offence grow. 527 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,680 So what do you, what is it that you, if you feed faith, faithful 528 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:27,200 growth, Yeah. And so every time that you 529 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,960 worship, every time you come to church, every time you open the 530 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,040 Bible, every time you pray, you come and you worship God, every 531 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,200 time we come together, we pray, you are feeding your spirit. 532 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,920 Every time we come, we read the Bible, we pray, we come 533 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,520 together, we worship God. Like today, you are feeding your 534 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,920 spirit, you're feeding your new nature. 535 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:52,800 It's growing, becoming stronger. OK, so this is what we want 536 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,880 because that is why it's so simple. 537 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,000 We have to starve the flesh, starve the flesh, feed the 538 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,520 spirit. Spirit stronger than the flesh. 539 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,000 Yeah. Because you don't automatically 540 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 just drift into victory. You drift and you grow into you. 541 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,400 You grow into that direction. You feed. 542 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,160 Yeah, that's true. OK, so the Bible says that the 543 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,720 enemy goes around like a roaring lion. 544 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,960 Now, the roar is loud. The roar is strong. 545 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,320 That can't intimidate. But what if you stop feeding 546 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,840 that lion? The roar goes weaker. 547 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,320 That lion's roar might be strong, loud, and that enemy may 548 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,040 go around rule, but the mug stop feeding the lion. 549 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,480 The roar goes weak, strength goes weak, break the control. 550 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,240 Some lions are only roaring because of feeding. 551 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040 That's why some lions are still roaring like the enemy. 552 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,720 Roar, roar, roar because we keep feeding them. 553 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,400 Stop feeding the flesh, starve the flesh because every time you 554 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,880 dwell on fear, OK, you feed it and so that it's dead food. 555 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,720 Now we never created to live on dead food. 556 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,200 The Bible compares us to an eagle. 557 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,960 Eagle soars high eagles. Their strength is connected. 558 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,280 If you look at the eagle, their strength is connected to their 559 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,360 diet. Eagles, if you look at the 560 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,520 difference like like ribbon chickens and all that, like just 561 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,160 dead food on the. But an eagle eat live food, 562 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,040 fresh feet, fresh meat. When you look at an eagle's 563 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,960 diet. Yeah. 564 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,520 So why did you change your diet? Because God wants us to soar 565 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,800 high. And you say that's if he wants 566 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,760 us to live higher. And some of you, if you want to 567 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,280 soar spiritually high and you want to grow spiritually, you 568 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,200 have to watch what you are feeding on. 569 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,360 So like an eagle, OK, so you feed on live food, feed on the 570 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,800 world, feed on prayer, OK, worship the praises of God, 571 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,800 right? And so then faith gets stronger. 572 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,600 And So what? You feed when. 573 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,639 Amen. Now here's the truth. 574 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,040 The flesh wants to be in charge. The flesh wants to be on the 575 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,760 front. The flesh wants to be the boss 576 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,840 wants its own way. OK, now the flesh, you don't 577 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,080 have to teach the flesh how to act. 578 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,000 OK, I've seen this with many times, you know, because we were 579 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,679 all born with the flesh. Now you don't have to teach it. 580 00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:50,639 I've seen it with our children. OK, You don't have to teach 581 00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,800 children at a very young age. You don't have to teach them to 582 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,639 be impatient and selfish. My toy, This is my toy. 583 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,160 And they hold on to that toy and it's like their friends are, 584 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,320 they don't want to play together, but this is my toy. 585 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,760 Nobody taught them that. Nobody taught them that 586 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,040 selfishness. I mean, at that little young age 587 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,600 to hold on to that toy like this. 588 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,400 I'm like, come share. These are your friends. 589 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:11,760 Share your toy. No, it's my toy. 590 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,960 Flesh. I've said that. 591 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,160 The ones I remember, we were at the shops. 592 00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,320 This is not going here. So I'll just be open and honest 593 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,800 with you today. But it's not years ago. 594 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,240 And yeah, one of my kids live 2 years now. 595 00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,000 We're walking in the shop, everything's fine. 596 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,040 He's happy, he's walking, smiling. 597 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,440 And then until he took something off the shelf and his mom said 598 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:40,160 very kindly and very gently, no. OK, put that back. 599 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,400 All of a sudden tantrum on the floor, crying, screaming, stick 600 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,920 kicking is like the end of the world. 601 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,360 Nobody, What was that? Nobody told him to do that. 602 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,240 That flesh born with that nature. 603 00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:00,360 Flesh nature. OK, because that is what the 604 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,560 flea, You don't have to teach the flesh, OK, But the flesh 605 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:11,560 doesn't like to be told. The Flash wants to be the boss, 606 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,480 the dictator. The flash nature we have two 607 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,520 natures, doesn't like to be told. 608 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,440 No, the Flash wants it. It wants what it wants, and it 609 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,480 wants it when it wants it. Yeah, that's it. 610 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,720 OK. And so, yeah, that is 611 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:29,360 understandable when they are two. 612 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:37,720 The problem is when you are 42 it's OK for a toddler to throw a 613 00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:40,080 foot in a tantrum when they are two. 614 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,760 The problem is when we are 42 and we are still throwing 615 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:53,400 tantrums and fits and egg and we OK the what in our attitude. 616 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,440 Maybe it's not on a Tescos floor on the shop floor. 617 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,160 Maybe we're not throwing a tantrum rolling on the floor and 618 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,120 in a shop in Tescos, but our attitude, our words, what we 619 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,680 text, what we speak on the phone when we don't get our way, when 620 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:18,360 we mutter our attitudes. OK, so that is how the fresh 621 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,000 because listen the feelings. Because if the feelings is our 622 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,160 boss, it limits our life because feelings don't always tell the 623 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,720 truth. And that's why I love that song 624 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,920 and I was Larry. It's like chasing off the 625 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,680 feelings because feelings, I don't feel like going to work 626 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,440 today. I don't feel like praying. 627 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,560 I don't feel like worrying about. 628 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,840 I don't feel like showing up. I don't. 629 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,440 Feelings don't always tell the truth. 630 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:49,800 And that is the danger of wet feelings lead your life. 631 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,880 And so the flesh is this big tighter. 632 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,040 I've seen this in foreign countries, coming from Africa, 633 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,440 where a big tighter does not negotiate with the people. 634 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,800 It's not a democracy. A dictator comes in and wants to 635 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,080 rule everything, wants to rule the people, rule everything. 636 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,480 That's a dictator. That's why the Bible talks about 637 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,560 in a New Testament about the dictates of the flesh. 638 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,920 That's what the flesh will dictate. 639 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,000 Get angry. Now get that at that person. 640 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000 Go, go, go. Give that. 641 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,080 Tell them off. That's the flesh. 642 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,600 The more we do it, the more we strengthen the flesh. 643 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,640 The more we stop the flesh, the more we grow the Spirit. 644 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,400 So that's why the dictator wants to be in charge. 645 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,840 He wants to be the boss and the people, they cannot just vote 646 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,080 enough. The people actually have to come 647 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:42,920 and rise up and overthrow him, dethroning from the throne, from 648 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,400 power. And the same with the flesh in 649 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,440 our lives. At some point in our lives we 650 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,360 have to dig in our heels and say enough is enough. 651 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,400 Flesh, you are not the boss of me anymore. 652 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,360 Anger, the last pride. You are not the boss of me 653 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,280 anymore. You are not my leader anymore. 654 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,520 Come on, somebody say flesh, you are not the boss of me anymore. 655 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,720 Yeah, I will live a spirit LED life. 656 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680 I will walk in the spirit. Yeah, that's the life. 657 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,120 Living in the spirit. That's the decision we did. 658 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:26,080 OK, so Romans 8, it tells us that if we live according to the 659 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,800 flesh, we will die. OK, Dreams will die. 660 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,640 If we live according to the flesh, relationship will 661 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,440 struggle. If you live in the flesh, it 662 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,160 will affect the family, the flesh. 663 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,680 It will destroy the families we see. 664 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,560 OK, well let me just show it to you. 665 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,040 It says Romans 8 for if you live according to the flesh, you will 666 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,600 die. But if by the Spirit you put to 667 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,080 death now just stop there because I want to show you that. 668 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,400 So if you live flesh, you will find. 669 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,560 So relationships will struggle, purpose will be delayed, dreams 670 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:06,600 will die, joy can be lost. OK, so that's what it talks 671 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,360 about. But then the next verse gives us 672 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,960 hope. And I love the very next verse 673 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,600 because it says this. It says bad. 674 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,200 If by the Spirit you put to Dave the beast of the body you will 675 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:25,400 love, there's our answer. It's by the Spirit, not by Mike, 676 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,600 not by Wilpon, but by the Spirit. 677 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:31,280 That is not by trying harder. It's by the Spirit. 678 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,880 And I love that that we are not alone fighting this battle with 679 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,120 being with a it's by the Spirit when we walk in the spirit. 680 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:42,800 The more you walk in the spirit, you are putting to D-Day you 681 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,200 crucifying the flesh. That's why Paul says I die 682 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,040 daily. Paul's in the spirit walking in 683 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,360 the spirit. That's how you die daily. 684 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,440 When you go, you walk in the spirit, the more you crucify and 685 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,440 multiply the flesh, because if you're going to be in the 686 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,560 spirit, you cannot get it for all the lust of the place. 687 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,400 You can only be in in the one of them, the two natures. 688 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:14,960 OK, and so somebody's desperately now the Bible talks 689 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,640 about 3 enemies every question, everybody three enemies, wealthy 690 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:24,680 sister, devil, flesh. These are three enemies. 691 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,680 Now you say which one is the greatest battle of the world? 692 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,280 The system is outdoor, the devil, but the flesh is 693 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,520 different. There was many times to blame 694 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,640 the devil when it's really our flesh. 695 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,400 People say, oh, the devil might be. 696 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,480 If we're really honest, it was not. 697 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,680 No, not the devil. OK, let's not blame it. 698 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,760 It was not the devil. Might you do it? 699 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:58,800 It was our attitude, our cravings, our pride, our last, 700 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:07,800 our flesh, our choices. Hey, it's our choice. 701 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,600 See, this is a battle within. That's what I said from the 702 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,520 beginning. This is the greatest battle, you 703 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,080 know? Yeah, he's the one living. 704 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,040 OK. And so The thing is that 705 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,520 Deliverance Ministry this not Deliverance Monastery to remove 706 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,160 the flesh. Oh, OK, I'm not against the 707 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,880 devilish ministry. Thank God for the Liberals 708 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,920 ministry and thank God casting our devils and demons of OK, 709 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,480 there's no deliverance ministry to remove the flesh. 710 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,360 If it was a devil, it was a demon. 711 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,680 We'd cast it out. We'll rebuke it. 712 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,520 You can cast out the devil, you can cast out demons, but we 713 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,560 cannot cast out our flesh. We can't. 714 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,880 Cars have the place. Many people. 715 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,960 Oh, people. It's take all stuff. 716 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,680 Oh, hang on. Flesh. 717 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,560 Give the credit. Way too much credit. 718 00:43:15,690 --> 00:43:17,530 Can we just hear that? Is that true? 719 00:43:17,610 --> 00:43:24,410 So true, So true. Blame it on there. 720 00:43:24,650 --> 00:43:28,600 It's flesh. So what I'm saying here is 721 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,160 Bible, I'm showing you the Scripture. 722 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,280 I'm showing you for the Bible what God says, what Paul the 723 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,520 apostle, what needs to be preached that we understand to 724 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,600 deal with. What's really the culprits is 725 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,880 our own flesh that needs to be crucified and mortified and get 726 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,600 off the front is the flesh is your attitude. 727 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,480 It's very easy to put the blame on others when we really need to 728 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,160 man up and say, OK, no, I'm going to actually humble myself 729 00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,080 and I'm going to surrender this lust, this pornography, this 730 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,600 fleshly desires. I'm actually going to just 731 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,360 repent and just say shall we and surrender it and bring it under 732 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,800 the leadership of the only spirits. 733 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,080 Come on, shall body walk in the spirit? 734 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,800 Because it's so simple when you crucify the flesh, when you 735 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,680 modify the flesh. This is all throughout the 736 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,480 Bible. You can just go and just do a 737 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,040 search of all the scriptures. You'll be amazed how many 738 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,200 scriptures where just walks about in the book of Romans and 739 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,440 it says when you walk in this spirit, you will not fulfill the 740 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,440 lust of the flesh. That's the answer. 741 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,120 Come on, listen, let me put it up here for you so that we can 742 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,880 see this. It says Galatians 516 walk in 743 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,360 the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the last of the flesh. 744 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,400 So when you walk in the in the spirit, what you do is you're 745 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:52,680 starving the flesh. And so every time you say no to 746 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,800 the flesh, you starve. When you say no to the, you 747 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,640 starve it. Every time you say no, you walk 748 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,920 away from temptation. You're starving it. 749 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,640 You're starving that fleshly nature. 750 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,040 And so that is good news because you don't have to follow every 751 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,040 credit. You don't have to follow and 752 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,040 repeat the same patterns. And you can walk free. 753 00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,200 And so as we close, yeah, it comes together. 754 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:26,240 This is where the battle turns. OK, Victory comes when wheat 755 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,240 yield. Yes, awesome. 756 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,600 Victory comes and we surrender and we yield to our leader, our 757 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,920 new leader. This when we yield to the Spirit 758 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,920 and we say Spirit, Holy Spirit, leave me in my choices, in my 759 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,000 thoughts, leave me in my everyday life. 760 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,920 That's the victory. That's where we walk into the 761 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,520 victory because yes, the war is real. 762 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,160 I've showed you scripture of the scripture of the scripture about 763 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:03,120 the war in within us. And so, but your victory is 764 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,720 real. So is your victory. 765 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,120 OK. Now we are not fighting for 766 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,600 victory. We are fighting for victory 767 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,440 because Jesus on the cross, he overcome and he won on the 768 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:17,920 cross, the grave is empty, OK? And so the same spirit, OK, that 769 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,240 lives in you, that raised Jesus from the dead, now lives on the 770 00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:24,520 inside of you. And that spirit and lives in you 771 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,000 is greater and is stronger. And so victory follows. 772 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,720 I mean, somebody, OK? And so because the Spirit of God 773 00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:39,080 is in you now, the habit can work, the fear can bow, the 774 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,800 anger can lose its grip, the shame can lift, that old pattern 775 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,600 can come down because the Spirit of God lives on the inside of 776 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,880 you, that greater power working on the inside of you. 777 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,600 And so you are not powerless, you're not helpless, you're not 778 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,640 stuck, OK? You are not who you used to be. 779 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,400 You are not your anger. You are not your addiction. 780 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,600 You are not your post. You are born again. 781 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:11,400 You are a new creation, OK? It's filled with the Spirit of 782 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,560 God. And so now the Spirit of God is 783 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,680 your new leader and the new leader. 784 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:24,000 Now the spirit rules. Now the spirit rules. 785 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,720 The spirit leads you. Now the spirit empowers now and 786 00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,080 because there's a new leader leading you, walking in the 787 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:39,600 spirit victory is yours. Winning the war within, can you 788 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,400 say? I mean somebody, OK? 789 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,760 And so this is your moment to make up your mind and to make a 790 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,320 decision that the war within will not defeat me. 791 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,400 The spirit within will empower me. 792 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:58,640 It empowers, OK and so in a nutshell, feed this spirit, 793 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,320 starve the flesh, walk in the spirit. 794 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,400 You will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 795 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,720 You will win the war and you'll become everything that God has 796 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:08,440 created you. Amen. 797 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,200 Let's all stand together. Hallelujah. 798 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,480 Right now, let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart and ask 799 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,600 yourself honestly, where is the flesh still trying to lead me? 800 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,880 Where is the flesh? Lead me in thy thoughts or my 801 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,000 habits, my private life, relationships, because this is 802 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000 about freedom. What God reveals, He wants to 803 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,200 heal. So maybe there's an area in your 804 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,840 life that the Holy Spirit is putting his finger on today. 805 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,200 Surrender it. So surrender it. 806 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,240 Just, you know, if it's an anger, just surrender it. 807 00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:40,720 If it's an addiction, surrender it. 808 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:47,200 Pride, lay down. But it's a nice release it. 809 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,760 Forgive that person if it's an offense, if it's fear, just give 810 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,800 it to Jesus. You don't have to carry what 811 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:59,320 Jesus has already carried. So if you are saying, pastor, I 812 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,600 don't want my flesh to lead me anymore. 813 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,960 I don't want my flesh to be the boss of me anymore. 814 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,400 I don't want my flesh to be in charge, but I want the Holy 815 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,560 Spirit to lead me. I want the Holy Spirit to lead 816 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,520 me in my marriage, in my family, in my career, in my everyday 817 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,160 life. I want the Holy Spirit to lead 818 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,400 me. If that is you just raise your 819 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,320 hands right now between you and God and it's not just lifting 820 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,160 hand, you are making a decision.
