Don't say, oh, that's nice for 32 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880 them. Say that's something I'm part 33 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,280 of. And I can have a bit of that 34 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640 faith. I can lay a hold of that faith. 35 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560 That kind of faith that moves, that kind of faith that builds, 36 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,680 that kind of faith that is planting the kind of faith that 37 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760 changes. I'm not talking about faith 38 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,760 today. That's just for fun. 39 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,360 OK, bless you, peace through the storm. 40 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,800 Let peace rule. Let peace rule. 41 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,040 In the first experience, Laura actually shared this verse and I 42 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,160 was like, you're cheating. You got in early Colossians 315 43 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,480 from the New Living Translation and it says and let the peace 44 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,960 that comes from Christ rule in your hearts for as members of 1 45 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:39,560 body, you are called to live in peace and always be thankful. 46 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,960 It's interesting there's this parallel between peace and 47 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,560 always being thankful, always having gratitude, always having 48 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,880 that heart of love for what God has. 49 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,120 But the the word I want to focus on is and let the peace that 50 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200 comes from Christ rule in your hearts. 51 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Pastor Terence spoke about this in, I think the last Sunday 52 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,440 message talking about how the peace of God can rule like an 53 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,480 umpire and govern. The peace of God actually has a, 54 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:28,000 a place and a a capacity to govern us, to govern our 55 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,920 thoughts, to govern our feelings. 56 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Like an umpire gets to make a decision, gets to make that 57 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,560 decision, whether he got tagged before he touched the base or 58 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,720 not. What's an analogy? 59 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,320 That's not sport. That's always hard for me. 60 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200 What was an analogy similar to that? 61 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,840 That's not sport. But a, a, a, a judge will be 62 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,640 able to rule whether that speeding ticket was right or 63 00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:00,320 wrong. OK, there's an arbitration. 64 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,320 There's a decision making process. 65 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,240 What's allowed to go and what's not allowed to go. 66 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,760 So the question to you today is what will you let rule your 67 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:19,040 feelings and thoughts? What will you let rule in an 68 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760 ironing experience? If you weren't here, I encourage 69 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,120 you to take a listen. Elder John was speaking about 70 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,120 which Kingdom you connect with and you contribute into is the 71 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,280 peace that you get to receive and benefit from. 72 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,440 There were two kingdoms, Mammon and the Kingdom of peace, and 73 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,360 Abram gave in to the king of peace, and so now he received 74 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,840 the benefit of that peace. So what will you let rule your 75 00:05:52,840 --> 00:06:01,560 feelings and your thoughts? Mark 439 we see the story of 76 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,640 Jesus and he's in the boat and he's been preaching for to the 77 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,680 people for the day. And he's like, we got to go over 78 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,560 there. And so they're they're heading 79 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,480 over to the other side and the storm hits and the disciples 80 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760 wake up Jesus. And Mark 439 says when Jesus 81 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,560 woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the ways, silence be 82 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,240 still. And the new King James says 83 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,120 peace be still. And suddenly the wind stopped 84 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:44,200 and there was a great calm. Nine years ago, I was on a 85 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:52,560 flight for work to Las Vegas, for work for work to Las Vegas, 86 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,160 OK. So I was on a flight for work to 87 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Las Vegas and we got a little bit into the flight and we're 88 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,280 going to have a little bit of turbulence. 89 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Now. I've had turbulence before, 90 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400 traveled to Australia. There's one time we were 91 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,480 travelling towards Sydney and just after they passed Hawaii, 92 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,400 they didn't know there was turbulence and we had this big, 93 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840 big drop that was, that was exciting. 94 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,600 And so I've, I've, I've had experience with turbulence 95 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:33,160 before, but here I was on this flight to Vegas and the 96 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,520 turbulence was funny because not only turbulence, like bouncy, 97 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,440 right? This one felt like a swing. 98 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,840 Oh yeah, that's a different feeling. 99 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,480 That was a weird feeling. And so I always pray before a 100 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,680 flight, you know, I know God's got got got the capacity and 101 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,360 strength to manage my flight, but this one warranted an 102 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:06,040 additional mid flight prayer. And and I said, I said, I, you 103 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,280 know, I read my word. I knew this scripture, you know, 104 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,360 I've raised the church so I could make my declaration. 105 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,520 So I declared to the wind, peace, peace still. 106 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,840 And then a thought dropped in the back of my head, when the 107 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:32,559 Holy Spirit, Jesus didn't need the wind to be calmed, to have 108 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,320 peace. And so here I am thinking, oh 109 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,600 hang on, let me go through my head. 110 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,440 Has that story go again? Is that right? 111 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,919 Is that right? Oh, OK, OK, that seems to be 112 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,840 right. Wow, what peace is that? 113 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,560 A piece of rules. A piece of rules with authority. 114 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,520 He didn't. He didn't need the storm to be 115 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,640 calm. He brought the calm. 116 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520 Jesus had peace despite the storm. 117 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080 The storm was exterior His peace. 118 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,560 What's from within? Let's read more of this story. 119 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Back to Mark 4. Verse 35. 120 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,880 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, let's cross to 121 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,480 the other side of the lake. So they took Jesus in the boat. 122 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,160 Who's in the boat? OK, so they took Jesus in the 123 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,840 boat and started out leaving the crowds behind, although other 124 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:48,320 boats followed. Verse 37 But soon a fierce storm 125 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,680 came apart up highways were breaking into the boat, and it 126 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:58,280 began to fill with water. That's not great. 127 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,960 You don't want a situation. You want the water outside the 128 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,360 boat, not inside the boat, right? 129 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,000 And one thing we got to remember, it's these are 130 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,400 fishermen who knew the area. They knew boating. 131 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,120 They knew how how boats were they? 132 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,640 They'd gone out on the water at various times. 133 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,160 But here this storm is such that it was like, whoa, what's going 134 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,800 on now? Do you remember, Pastor, 135 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 terrorists talked about peace is a person. 136 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,960 Peace is a person. The Prince of Peace. 137 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520 The answer you think it is, it probably is. 138 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,040 The Prince of Peace is OK, let's go with a little bit more 139 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920 conviction. The Prince of Peace is all 140 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,920 right. There we go. 141 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:51,320 Good. Jesus peace personified. 142 00:10:51,320 --> 00:11:03,260 Jesus was in the boat with them. But then we read in verse 38, 143 00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:08,220 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on the 144 00:11:08,220 --> 00:11:18,280 cushion and the disciples woke him up shouting, Teacher, don't 145 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,000 you care that we're going to drown? 146 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:30,280 Wake up, wake up freaked out. But who was in the boat? 147 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600 Jesus? Peace was in the boat. 148 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,880 And yet, even though peace was in the boat, they didn't partake 149 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,520 of that peace. They didn't allow the peace to 150 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:55,080 rule. But Jesus knew how to have peace 151 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,280 rule. Jesus was sleeping at the back 152 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,120 of the boat with his head on a cushion. 153 00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:05,600 Where the peace of Jesus rules. Rest abides. 154 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,640 How? How could he be resting in the 155 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,880 back of a boat? What? 156 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,560 What's that? What's happening in the boat? 157 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,720 So much is going on around. We had a key. 158 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:29,640 Proverbs 1923. The reverent, Worshipful fear of 159 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:38,600 the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied. 160 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,440 So the fear of the Lord, the fear of God that the fear of God 161 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,200 that honors and is in awe and recognizes the greatness of who 162 00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,320 God is. When we had that fear of God, 163 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,440 the recognition of Almighty God, the rest can abide. 164 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,200 And so Jesus is rest because Jesus is peace. 165 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:26,760 So here He is at peace in the back of the boat, and so rest 166 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:34,200 could abide. Back to verse 38, Jesus was 167 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,600 sleeping. Oh, actually I missed a bit. 168 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000 My apologies. I'll go back to this part. 169 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,960 The fear of God is the soil peace grows in. 170 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,600 I don't want to miss that bit because Stacey helped me with 171 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120 that. She made it look pretty. 172 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,200 The fear of God is the soil that peace grows in. 173 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,880 Well, why would that be? Remember, we just I just shed a 174 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,920 little bit, but the fear of God is actually our recognition of 175 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,760 the greatness of God, the awe of God, the wonder of God. 176 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:21,280 When you have this idea and and a revelation of what it means a 177 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,360 just a partial revelation because we can't fully even 178 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,920 understand God with our mind. But when you get a revelation of 179 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,840 who God is, we get also a revelation of peace. 180 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:49,320 If the God of the universe is your Father, we walk different. 181 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:57,040 We talk different when we recognize that God of the 182 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:05,480 universe is our Saviour and our Deliverer and has adopted us as 183 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,920 his sons and daughters. If we get a revelation of that, 184 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,360 we can't but walk in his peace. You see, the disciples were 185 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,840 frantic, even though they'd seen Jesus do miracles. 186 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:34,200 But something was missing. Something wasn't allowing them 187 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,680 to walk in peace back to verse 38. 188 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,960 The disciples woke him up shouting teacher don't you care 189 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:51,000 that we're going to drowned with a piece of Jesus rules. 190 00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:03,240 It could be misunderstood. See the peace of Jesus, it 191 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,160 doesn't mean we don't do, but in our doing we have a calm because 192 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,960 we know who we're doing it for and who holds us up. 193 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,640 The fear of God actually position us in a place of 194 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:21,920 strength because we know who we are in Him and who's we are. 195 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,280 I tell you, there's so much revelation of what it means to 196 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,800 be reborn men and women of God, to actually walk now take that 197 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,600 understanding and then walk it out as a revelation in our 198 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,080 lives. And it sometimes means we could 199 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,160 be misunderstood because the peace of God is beyond 200 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,000 understanding. It doesn't make sense. 201 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,280 Philippians 4 verse 6 Don't worry about anything. 202 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920 Instead, pray about everything that makes no sense to the 203 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,839 world. That makes sense. 204 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,960 But don't worry about my finances. 205 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,880 Who else is going to do it? But don't worry about my work. 206 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:19,200 Who else is going to do it? But what God thinks is important 207 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,400 is vastly different to what the world believes is important, 208 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:32,320 what God values. Matthew 633. 209 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,680 Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then 210 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,960 all these things will be added to you. 211 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080 But that doesn't make sense. I thought I was supposed to 212 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:47,360 grind and make it happen. But in the Kingdom of heaven, 213 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,840 this is how you make it happen. Seek first God's Kingdom, seek 214 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,640 His righteousness. So don't worry about anything. 215 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,480 Instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank 216 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,320 Him for all He has done. Again, the thank you is 217 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,640 attached. There's a thank you attached to 218 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,400 your prayer. There's a thank you attached to 219 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,480 your request. There's a thank you attached. 220 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,960 But don't worry about those things. 221 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,080 Don't be anxious for those things, but pray about 222 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,160 everything. And you know what's interesting? 223 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,720 That prayer about everything can be. 224 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:32,120 I have a position of prayer. I have a, a place where I'm in 225 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:34,840 communion with God. So therefore, as I'm walking it 226 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,880 out in a moment, I can hear God because I've, I've had that 227 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,800 relationship, I have fostered that friendship. 228 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,760 I have fostered that dialogue with God. 229 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480 And now my prayer could be, is that right, Lord? 230 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,000 That could be it. Is this right, Lord? 231 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,240 OK, Yeah. OK. 232 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,000 Good. Yeah, we're good. 233 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,840 Is this how we'll is this what we're operating in? 234 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,520 Is this fit with what you're calling me to? 235 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,120 No. OK. 236 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,160 No, The answer's no, but it's so good. 237 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,560 The answer's no. I have a couple of opportunities 238 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,640 at the end of the year where people push me for some 239 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,400 business. I do B2B sales and I just felt 240 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,120 the Lord say you're not to add anything right now and says 241 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,880 ladies still calling me, emailing me, Yeah, you should do 242 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,520 this. It'll be great. 243 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,960 You'll make lots of Yeah, it'll be fine. 244 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,400 Lots of money. No. 245 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,600 Well, why not? You should add it as much as you 246 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,320 can. No, right now I'm not adding 247 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,840 anything. Now I didn't have to pray about 248 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,440 it because I prayed about it and the Lord had given me the 249 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:50,080 framework that there's right now is a no, so I don't have to 250 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,520 check again. Are you really sure? 251 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:59,280 No, it's a no right now. So in praying about everything 252 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,960 is that awareness of God's presence, awareness of what He's 253 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,000 saying, awareness of how He's moving. 254 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,560 And then in verse 7, then you will experience God's peace, 255 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,440 which exceeds anything we can understand. 256 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,480 His peace will guard your hearts and minds. 257 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:27,560 As you live in Christ Jesus, the unreasonable peace of God, the 258 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:33,280 peace that is beyond reason, it don't make sense. 259 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,960 It doesn't make sense. Jesus sitting in the back of a 260 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,320 rocking boat, sleeping on a cushion, resting there. 261 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,800 It doesn't make sense as unreasonable. 262 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,840 It's beyond reason. It's beyond reason. 263 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,800 He can stay calm or we're all freaking out. 264 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,960 That's beyond reason. That doesn't make sense. 265 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:09,020 But the peace of God is beyond reason in the Philippines. 47 266 00:21:09,020 --> 00:21:13,180 But in the Amplified classic it says, And God's peace shall be 267 00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:18,220 yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation 268 00:21:18,220 --> 00:21:22,800 through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God. 269 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,040 Why? Because we have the fear of God. 270 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,200 When we have the fear of God, we don't need to fear God or fear 271 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040 anything from Him, because He is our God. 272 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,320 Fearing nothing from God and being content with his earthly 273 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:43,280 lot of whatever sort that is that peace which transcends all 274 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,680 understanding shall Garrison amount God over your hearts and 275 00:21:48,680 --> 00:22:00,220 minds in Christ Jesus that's powerful. 276 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:11,190 See, nations have gone to war for peace, to get their peace 277 00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:15,590 that people people have have have given their lives for the 278 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:21,590 idea of what peace might be. And here we are. 279 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,640 He says, man, don't be angry, just come to me. 280 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,960 I'll give you rest. I'll give you peace. 281 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,160 A peace that doesn't make any sense at all, A peace that can't 282 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:46,560 be understood, a peace that will hold you in your circumstance, a 283 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:53,360 peace that actually is a power to give you strength and firm 284 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:57,440 foundation when everything else seems to be falling apart. 285 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,760 That's the peace of Jesus. John 1427, Jesus said peace I 286 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,280 live with you. My peace I bequeath to you. 287 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,080 It's a substance. It's substantial, His peace. 288 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,040 I can't bequeath something I don't own, but he bequeathed 289 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,360 what he had. He is the Prince of Peace, he 290 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,840 said. I am the Prince of Peace. 291 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,520 And that peace I have, I bequeath to you that peace that 292 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,280 makes no sense. I bequeath that to you. 293 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,400 What are you going to do with it? 294 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,960 That peace that's beyond reasonable understanding. 295 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,840 That's the peace, that's the quality of the peace that I give 296 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:55,640 to you, a peace that cannot be shaken, a peace that cannot be 297 00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:04,560 taken, a peace that's powerful. The peace of Jesus mounts God to 298 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:12,280 rule your heart and your mind. Now you consider that that there 299 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,000 is working on your behalf, the peace of God to rule your 300 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:23,840 thoughts working on your behalf, the peace of God as guarding 301 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:30,480 your heart working on your behalf is the peace of God. 302 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,720 Back to the story in Mark fourth verse 39 to 40. 303 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,880 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves 304 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:50,280 silence be still. I think of that. 305 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,160 I think I think treating him like, you know, one of those 306 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,040 mischievous toddlers, you know, I, we had, we have two kids. 307 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,440 They were younger. And sometimes it's like, JT, do 308 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,800 you ever have this? We have to say silence, be 309 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,440 still. That's it. 310 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,920 That's that's a fun one. And it's kind of like, all 311 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,720 right, enough with you done So you're talking to your dog. 312 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,840 Stop barking. We're done. 313 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,320 No more ways, no more wind. Just, but with the authority 314 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:29,200 that it just was so, the winds and there was a great calm. 315 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,120 The wind stopped and there was a great calm. 316 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,760 Then he asked, why are you afraid? 317 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,840 Do you still have no faith? Remember who is in the boat? 318 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,680 Who is peace? He was in the boat. 319 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,960 But peace operates in the realm of faith. 320 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,560 See, perhaps you say, man, I I still get all these things and 321 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,440 all these worries and all this, this stress and I'm holding it 322 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,960 and it's weighing on me. And it some people, the stress 323 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,520 can actually 'cause their body to reveal that stress through 324 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:20,240 sickness and pains and and and blocked arteries and all sorts 325 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,160 of things, the body is responding to that stress. 326 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,360 But have you stepped into the realm of faith? 327 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,600 My dad says faith is a realm of possibility beyond the 328 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:44,880 wilderness of reason. Reason will hold you to your 329 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,880 worries. Reason will hold you to your 330 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:57,480 worries. But faith steps beyond that, to 331 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:03,600 the realm of possibility, the realm of where God moves, the 332 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,520 realm where the currency of heaven operates, the realm where 333 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:17,280 God is moving. And so today is Decision Day. 334 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,320 Who will you let rule in your mind? 335 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:31,000 Are you bound so firmly to your reason that you will not embrace 336 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:39,880 the One who will give you peace? Beyond that reason, can you 337 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:46,720 shake yourself out of the natural to recognize the power 338 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,000 of the supernatural God who is calling you? 339 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:57,720 He has bequeathed you peace. He has given it to you in the 340 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,880 will. Will you take it? 341 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:06,280 Will you acquire it? Will you fight for it? 342 00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:14,830 The disciples were absolutely terrified. 343 00:28:14,830 --> 00:28:17,390 Verse 41. The disciples were absolutely 344 00:28:17,390 --> 00:28:19,390 terrified. Who is this man? 345 00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:24,440 They asked each other, even the wind and waves obey him. 346 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,840 What are they looking at? See, they still don't get it. 347 00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,640 They still don't get it. What are they looking at? 348 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,280 They were looking at the waves and the winds are going, wow, 349 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,640 that's amazing. Look what happened in the 350 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:51,160 natural around me. They were wowed by the natural, 351 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080 but Jesus was calling them to a new dimension. 352 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,680 They were still obsessed with the winds and the waves. 353 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,840 They were so caught up that they say, wow, look at this guy, He's 354 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920 incredible. Look what he could do. 355 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,520 He could stop all this and make it all calm. 356 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:19,000 But the real power was the peace he had that the new dimension he 357 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,320 was calling them to was. You can have peace in the middle 358 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,000 of the storm. The storm can be going on and 359 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,800 you still have peace. That's the new dimension you're 360 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,320 being called to. A dimension where His peace 361 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,800 holds me, His peace garrisons, His peace rules. 362 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,320 His peace is governing and umpiring on my behalf. 363 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,240 The peace of God. There's power in the peace of 364 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240 God. The peace of God is not passive. 365 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,400 The peace of the world is passive. 366 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,040 A piece of the world requires everything from the outside to 367 00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,760 be going great. Can you go to the next slide 368 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,480 with the circles on? So here we see we've got the 369 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,680 spirit, soul and body, the tripod being who we are, Spirit, 370 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,840 the spirit where God the Holy Spirit dwells. 371 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,280 Our soul is our thinker and our our emotions and our body, our 372 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:25,080 physical body. And we got worries about finance 373 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,480 hitting our soul. We got work hitting our soul. 374 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,320 We got environment hitting our soul. 375 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,240 We got a family hitting our soul hitting us from the exterior in. 376 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,480 So when these things are great, hey, I got, I got, I got the 377 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,600 money, I got the pay raise. We're doing great. 378 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,200 Then we feel great because the outside is fitting with where we 379 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,520 want to be. Maybe our environment, man, I'm 380 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,000 vibing. This is cool. 381 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,480 You know, that sounded the 70s there. 382 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,600 Cool, man. I was born in the 70s. 383 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,400 I did not live in the 70s for, you know, for that. 384 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,080 Thank you, bless, Thank you, older John. 385 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,560 And then family when things are going great and everybody's 386 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,960 happy with you and they're all listening and the kids are doing 387 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,720 what they're told. Fantastic. 388 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,840 I've got peace. Work is great. 389 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,200 Just got that promotion and when we rely on the externals for our 390 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:24,720 peace, then when this gets shaky, my soul gets shaky. 391 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,360 When when things are going on arrived with the family 392 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,120 relationships, does my soul shake? 393 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,920 Because that's what where I get my peace from. 394 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,880 That's where I get my wholeness from. 395 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,360 But if work is going bad or maybe I got laid off, or is that 396 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840 going to now allow my peace to be shaken? 397 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,840 It was February 2020 before everything went crazy and they 398 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,200 restructured and I lost my job. And I'm thinking, OK, Lord, I'm 399 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,520 the I, what, what are we going to do with this? 400 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,800 So I went for a walk and, and spent some time with the Lord 401 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,560 and he says, are you going to let that affect this? 402 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,400 Who's your source? Who's your source? 403 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,120 If my source was the job, then of course I'll be shaky. 404 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,200 But if my source was always God, then how's that? 405 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,640 That won't shake me. I have to work some things out, 406 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,640 but it doesn't mean I have to be shaken by it. 407 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,400 Next slide, please. Now this is what he's calling us 408 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,360 to. Out of your spirit man, out of 409 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,240 the Spirit of God inside of you. Out the spirit man. 410 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Now that's affecting my soul and my body and my environment. 411 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:47,640 God, it worked within us. The peace of God, peace of God 412 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,320 here means that it's going to affect my environment, it's 413 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,840 going to affect my family, it's going to affect my work, it's 414 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,840 going to affect my finance. If these things shake, did that 415 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,240 shake? Did my spirit shake? 416 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040 No, that's the place where the Spirit of God dwells. 417 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,760 You are the temple of the Holy Spirit who's in you, whom you 418 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,040 have from God, and you are not your own, for you are bought 419 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:17,400 with a price. So when my spirit man is settled 420 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,120 on him with the fear of God and the peace of God and the rest of 421 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:28,480 God, now we're we're we're we're emanating, we're pushing out 422 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,200 because where God dwells the innermost being, it says in 423 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,440 Ephesians 316 in your inner man in the innermost being. 424 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,920 The world can't rob that peace. The world can't shake that 425 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:49,400 peace, that wholeness that comes from God. 426 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000 So when there's disturbance around. 427 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,120 OK. Thank you, Lord. 428 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,600 What are you saying? Thank you, Lord. 429 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,240 Where am I going with this? My rest is in him. 430 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,200 My hope is in him. My joy is in Him. 431 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,719 My life is in Him. I'm surrendered in Him. 432 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:19,800 It all comes back to Him. So what will you let rule your 433 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:28,679 feelings and thoughts? The peace of God is not 434 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:38,840 behaviour modification, but surrender, behaviour 435 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,239 modification, all that stuff, that external stuff. 436 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,520 But actually the peace of God in the inside is calling us to 437 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:55,120 surrender to Him. Isaiah 26 verse 3 says you will 438 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,760 guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace. 439 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,640 Whose mind? Both his inclination and his 440 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,560 characters stayed on you. Why? 441 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:14,360 Because He commits himself to you, God, and leans on you and 442 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:22,280 hopes confidently in you. That's the key. 443 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:31,000 He will keep in perfect peace the one who stayed on him, who 444 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:40,040 lean on him, whose life is rested in him, who I depended 445 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,840 upon Him as our source, as our life. 446 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:54,720 That surrendered position, a place of surrender is. 447 00:35:54,720 --> 00:36:00,400 I've learned in all things to pray, learning all things that 448 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,040 He is faithful. I've learned in all things that 449 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,800 He is trustworthy. I've learned in all things He is 450 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,920 faithful. I've learned that in all things 451 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,720 He has got it covered. I've learned in all things. 452 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,080 As I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all 453 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,400 these things shall be added. I've learned. 454 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:26,880 I've learned His heart of love for you. 455 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,920 In Matthew 6, it talks about if a Sparrow drops, he knows. 456 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,040 And then Jesus says, how much more valuable are you? 457 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:47,800 How much more valuable? So much more valuable, so much 458 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,920 more. Does he care about your detail 459 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,080 so much more? Does he care about your life so 460 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,720 much more? Does he care about your family 461 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,600 so much more? Does He love them so much more? 462 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:05,840 Does He care to bring wholeness? His love is vast. 463 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:11,000 See, we need revelation because we can hear it and it can go in 464 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,520 one ear and not necessarily out the other, because usually 465 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,720 there's something in between, but it can get missed. 466 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:26,720 The revelation is the love of God was poured out on you. 467 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,040 He loved you so much. He loved first, He loved best, 468 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:37,400 He loves fully, and His love for you is poured out. 469 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,440 He cares for you, He cares for the detail of you, He cares for 470 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:52,080 the heart of you. He cares because He created you. 471 00:37:53,960 --> 00:38:00,680 He loves because He is love. And so here we see in the 472 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,920 scripture, when we lean on Him, we're pressing into Him. 473 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,960 We're relying upon Him. He is the one in whom we trust. 474 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,960 Then we will have perfect and constant peace. 475 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:20,880 There's the last two verses I have and Galatians chapter 5 476 00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:29,160 verse 16. It says let me emphasize this as 477 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,720 you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, 478 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,200 you will abandoned the cravings of yourself life. 479 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,840 Other scriptures say then you King James, I believe it says 480 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:47,640 when you walk with the Spirit, you're living your life with the 481 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:54,360 Spirit of God. You'll abandoned the self life 482 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,480 crazy. All the things that are 483 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,720 surrounding us that are so messed up, so messy. 484 00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:08,120 And when the Holy Spirit is operating in you, the fruit of 485 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:16,320 his spirit presence is peace. The fruit that shows that you're 486 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,560 yielding. Life is now. 487 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:26,320 It's like peace. Unexpected peace at unexpected 488 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,600 times. Unexpected peace when it doesn't 489 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:38,200 make sense when you go on. I should really be worrying 490 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,120 about this, but I'm I'm finding it hard to. 491 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,440 Peace doesn't mean you don't care. 492 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,640 Remember we said Jesus was misunderstood because he's their 493 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,480 sleeper in there and they're like, oh, what, You don't care? 494 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,720 We're about to drown. He's like, of course I care, I 495 00:39:54,720 --> 00:40:01,880 don't want you to drown. But we've got peace, peace. 496 00:40:07,490 --> 00:40:15,130 So I want to encourage you today in this the peace of God. 497 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:32,560 Cannot be shaken. The peace of God is stepped into 498 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,560 by your surrender to Him, and you're leaning into Him. 499 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,240 Lay a hold of it. Get beyond the realm of your 500 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:55,080 reason. Get beyond the realm of Well 501 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,760 that's not what the influencers say. 502 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,160 Get beyond the realm of I googled it. 503 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,880 Get beyond the realm of I saw it on TikTok. 504 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,800 Get beyond the realm. Get beyond the realm of the 505 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,080 natural. We got to stop being wowed by 506 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,920 the natural when the supernatural is in you. 507 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,360 And we lay a hold of it by faith. 508 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,400 We lay a hold of that peace by faith. 509 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,440 We receive it. So I want to encourage you 510 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:41,320 today, if you find it difficult to lay hold of peace, make a 511 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:49,360 decision today. I resolve to lay a hold of the 512 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:55,800 peace that Jesus has for me. Part of making that decision is 513 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,360 setting aside your focus on the exterior and setting your focus 514 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:08,360 in on Him. Make a decision to trust. 515 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,120 Make a decision to walk with the Lord. 516 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,920 Make a decision to set your affection on him. 517 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:25,200 Make a decision today. Perhaps still you think, but I 518 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,760 don't know how I could get that. You don't know what I'm going 519 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,600 through. God knows and he still tells 520 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:40,680 you. Look to me, look to God, look to 521 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,160 his presence. I'd bite you to stand. 522 00:42:44,160 --> 00:43:01,260 I'm going to pray. I encourage you give voice to 523 00:43:01,260 --> 00:43:04,020 your heart. Remember the scripture said be 524 00:43:04,020 --> 00:43:05,820 anxious for nothing. Don't worry about anything but 525 00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:09,500 everything by prayer. So your prayer is a prayer of 526 00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:12,220 Thanksgiving. Lord, thank you for the peace 527 00:43:12,220 --> 00:43:16,100 you've given me. Thank you Lord, for the peace 528 00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:19,860 that is mine in Jesus. Thank you Lord, that peace 529 00:43:19,860 --> 00:43:24,100 operates in my life. That peace has ruled in my life. 530 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,840 I make a decision today. The peace of God shall rule. 531 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,920 My eyes are on you. My wise are focused on your 532 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,560 prowess, your presence, your might. 533 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,080 My eyes are focused in Your goodness, your love, Your joy, 534 00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:46,480 your life. I my heart is focusing on You 535 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,800 Lord, so your peace may rule over my thoughts. 536 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,360 Your peace may rule over my feelings. 537 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,960 I no longer walk by my exterior perceptions, but my interior 538 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,760 reality which comes from You. I thank you Lord. 539 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,160 I look not to the world for my peace, but I look to the Spirit 540 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,800 of the living God who dwells within me, who is my strength, 541 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,200 who is my might. And the fruit of His presence, 542 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,960 the fruit of my surrendering to the Spirit of God is peace. 543 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,600 The fruit of that, that heart of love, that pursuit of you is 544 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:25,320 peace. Oh God, we praise you today. 545 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,440 There's peace in the house. There's peace for stepping out. 546 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,360 There's peace. For those new moves, there's new 547 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,720 moves. There's peace. 548 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,200 For that position, there's peace, Lord. 549 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:44,640 For that new understanding, there's peace, Lord, thank you, 550 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,080 Lord, we operate in peace. We operate out of the love of 551 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,800 you, and we operate out of our focus on you. 552 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:56,080 We operate in faith in you. I encourage you. 553 00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,520 Lift your voices in Thanksgiving. 554 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,840 Lift your voices in Thanksgiving. 555 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,720 Thank you, Lord, for that peace. I thank you, Lord, for that 556 00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,400 peace. Thank you, Lord, for your Holy 557 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,240 Spirit who is peace. Thank you, Lord, that Jesus, the 558 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:13,520 Prince of Peace, came for me. Thank you, Lord, for this peace 559 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,000 that is mine. Thank you, Lord. 560 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,360 The world cannot take it because he didn't give it. 561 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,920 The world cannot move it because it cannot be taken by him. 562 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,600 The peace I have is a piece of Jesus. 563 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,760 It's a firm foundation. It's a piece that cannot be 564 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,760 shaken into the peace that cannot be moved. 565 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,320 I am strengthened by the Spirit of the living God who is in me, 566 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,440 whom I have from God. His spirit of peace is upon me. 567 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,480 His spirit of peace is a work in me. 568 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,800 The spirit of peace is whom I walk with. 569 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,600 I walk in peace because I walk by the Spirit. 570 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,080 I walk in peace because the one who is peace walks with me. 571 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,000 I thank you, Lord, peace is mine. 572 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,680 I lay a hold of it. I lay a hold of it in Jesus 573 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,320 name. Lord, we thank you for your 574 00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:01,320 peace. For some of you, there's a 575 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,440 darkness and it feels a heavyweight. 576 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,200 He who is light is the one who will remove that darkness. 577 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,600 Jesus is light and the peace of God that passes understanding 578 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,360 will be yours. Now lay a hold of it. 579 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,800 Now press in, press in. This is no, this is no situation 580 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,920 where I sit back and kind of watch what's going on. 581 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,400 You press in. You press in. 582 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:37,160 You pursue, pursue the the peace of God, pursue the one who gives 583 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,360 peace. Thank you Lord. 584 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,160 Thank you Lord. I thank you Lord. 585 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:49,600 You are light in darkness. You're the light in darkness in 586 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,200 Jesus name. Thank you holy Lord. 587 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,560 Praise you Jesus, bless you Lord. 588 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,480 Come on, lift your voices.

I don't I don't know what you're 591 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,360 playing. I don't, but but it's it's 592 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,480 triggering. What is this song? 593 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:46,600 Is is it turning over tables? Was that what you was playing? 594 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,880 But it's in my spirit. Amen. 595 00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:52,320 Amen. Start at your turning over 596 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,280 table. Sing it out. 597 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:13,920 You clean. Out the. 598 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:31,400 Dead, for we are your territory then, Lord, we are your truth. 599 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,360 We are your people and you are God. 600 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,200 We are your temple. Take us holy like you are. 601 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,280 Make us holy like you are. Lay this corn. 602 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,840 Make us holy like you, holy like you. 603 00:48:47,840 --> 00:49:18,360 See the. Whole nation of love, a chosen 604 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,640 generation, a hero called to pray. 605 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:30,960 So help us God to please where all we can see. 606 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:42,400 For every moment I say we are your people. 607 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,720 We are your people and you are our our God. 608 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:55,440 We are your level. Make us whole. 609 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,640 We are your children. We are your children. 610 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:07,960 You set us up God for your glory make us whole. 611 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,320 We are your people. We are your people. 612 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,760 You are our God, and we are your dream. 613 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:29,840 Oh, make us holy like you, and we are your children. 614 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:36,240 You've set us so hard. I'm all your holy. 615 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:42,760 Take us holy like you are. Make us. 616 00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:08,880 Take your seat for a second while we hold that bridge in our 617 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,800 spirit. It's a couple things. 618 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,680 There's a couple things I was hearing over there that I want 619 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,600 to give you keep out your iPads, your phones, your notebooks, 620 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,960 whatever you typewriters, whatever you want to keep out. 621 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:32,200 But I I love, I love, I love, I love everybody. 622 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,080 I also love seeing people who live by the spirit. 623 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,800 It's a beautiful thing. You know, the Brett was up here 624 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,280 and there was some stuff you were saying earlier in your 625 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:53,200 message and, but it led me to something else. 626 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,360 I, I, I think in next year when we do some equipping things, we 627 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,320 got to, we got to equip, we got to teach people how to sit in 628 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,680 the presence of God in atmospheres where he's speaking 629 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,240 through people, how to listen. It takes skill. 630 00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:11,520 It takes skill. So as you were preaching, it 631 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,960 activated some other things. And that's why it's also 632 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,720 important to be in your word as well, because Holy Spirit uses 633 00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:21,040 he could take you to another scripture that you know of, 634 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,600 right? But we got a lot of Google 635 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:29,240 Saints and we, we just think of a topic and we we Google and 636 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:33,400 that's kind of our safety net. But I just want to a couple 637 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,720 things. But there was a scripture that I 638 00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:37,400 was going to read that you started to read. 639 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,560 But I'm glad you didn't read all of it because what I was going 640 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,080 to read was more than what you was going to read. 641 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,320 But it was clear that you was going that way in the Holy 642 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,160 Spirit. So it was confirmation. 643 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,360 So thank you. Couple things Elder Brett said, 644 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,120 by the way, you did a phenomenal job. 645 00:52:51,120 --> 00:53:00,200 Thank you both for our elders. For those that don't know, one 646 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,040 of the prerequisites for an A biblical elder is that they can, 647 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,640 they can teach the word, not read the Bible, teach the word, 648 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,120 and I thank God we got elders that can teach the word. 649 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:23,160 Elder Brat said a couple things. One thing that just stuck out 650 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,240 that I think it's important to echo is he said it's decision 651 00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,480 making day. Anybody remember that? 652 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,440 If you don't remember it, write it down. 653 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,400 Everybody say it with me three times. 654 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,960 Say decision making day. Look at your neighbors, say it's 655 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,160 decision making day. Now look at somebody else and 656 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:46,120 say it's decision making day and tell yourself one more time. 657 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,520 Say it's decision making day. Silly. 658 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,480 That's the one you tell yourself. 659 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:55,400 That's the one you tell yourself, OK, it's decision 660 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,720 making day. See, See, people don't 661 00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:02,320 understand that although peace, peace was left with us. 662 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:07,200 Peace is a decision. OK, watch this. 663 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:12,440 How many people somebody gave you a job and how many people 664 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:19,200 decided to go to work, right? So you got a job, but how many 665 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,840 people know you would have got that job taken if you didn't 666 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,080 decide to go to work? Watch this. 667 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,480 How many people know that you would have got fired if you 668 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,760 didn't make the decision to work on that job based on the 669 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,600 policies and procedures they have? 670 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,280 If that job say 8:00 AM, that's going to keep you paid, guess 671 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,160 what time you got to be at work 8:00 AM Because that's going to 672 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,880 keep you paid. And guess how many of y'all 673 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,840 would be at work at 8:00 AM? 7-50 to be exact, because it's 674 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,640 going to keep you paid. Whereas how principles work. 675 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,080 That's why God never gives you the sewing part and not the 676 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,160 harvest part, OK? He never gives you the sacrifice 677 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,760 without the benefit. He might tell you to go 678 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:03,240 somewhere and don't tell you about there, but He told you if 679 00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:07,760 you obey Him, there's always reward, OK? 680 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,600 And so peace is a decision. Watch this. 681 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,960 The people in here that don't have the peace of God, that is 682 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,760 your fault. It's not the devil and it's not 683 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,040 God. You've given your peace away. 684 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,360 Watch this. I was thinking about this. 685 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,560 How many people in here, if you'd make a decision to not lie 686 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,960 right now when you sit in church, you're thinking about, 687 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,320 you're thinking about other stuff that don't got nothing to 688 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,720 do with church, right? We got a lot of liars in here. 689 00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:40,680 Amen. But that's OK. 690 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:42,080 That's OK. You don't have peace. 691 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,480 That's why you're lying. You think if I expose myself, my 692 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,360 piece is going to be stolen. But the truth so sets you free. 693 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,240 Now I'm going to do one more time I'm giving. 694 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:51,680 See, Because you don't understand. 695 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,960 These are the moments that break chains. 696 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,680 You think an altar call is what's going to break a chain? 697 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,040 No, no, no, no. Participation breaks chains. 698 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,000 He says, OK, well I'm going to stir up the pool. 699 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,320 And when the Angel of the Lord dip in the pool and stir it up, 700 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,680 it's your job to go ahead and get in the water. 701 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,760 Why? Because I put healing in the 702 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,600 principle and I put healing in the water. 703 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,320 Amen. So how many people have sat in 704 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,720 church and have thought, let me tell you something. 705 00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:26,720 When I'm up here, I could tell you thinking about something 706 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:30,280 else. So you looking at the screen, 707 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,160 you looking at the pastor, but your mind is somewhere else. 708 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,280 Raise your hand. Thank you. 709 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,960 You hid your hand behind your wife's back. 710 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,280 I see. I see you hiding. 711 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:43,400 You hiding. All right. 712 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:48,200 The point is everybody minds drift back to Elder Brett's 713 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,320 point. Turn the heater off. 714 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:50,440 Just for a few minutes. Thank you. 715 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:58,160 Back to Elder Brett's point is the disciples, do you know why 716 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,720 engaging in a service is important? 717 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,400 It's because the conversation you're listening to, you have to 718 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,840 combat that. I'm not just saying Amen all the 719 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,680 time, or that's good all the time or or come on, preach man 720 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,360 of God or standing up and getting engaged. 721 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,440 I am telling my body I am here. That's more important than 722 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,360 what's going on here in my medulla. 723 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:29,360 And I got to keep myself alive. And Jesus was frustrated. 724 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,480 Watch this. Because he had no plans to calm 725 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:40,000 the storm. Jesus had no plans to wake up 726 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:45,000 and calm the storm. Jesus had no plans to take you 727 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,120 out of that situation. But the only way he can get to 728 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,240 you sometimes is if he calm your external storm. 729 00:57:54,680 --> 00:58:01,280 But why your external storm has become your God and he says I 730 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,680 love you so much. Let me calm the storm. 731 00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,440 But what did he say once he calmed the storm? 732 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,560 You unbelieving? He was ticked. 733 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,360 He wasn't like let's go back to eating sandwiches buddy. 734 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,840 Let's let's hang out. Let me go back to sleep now. 735 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,720 OK you guys OK? No, he was like you unbelieving 736 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,200 you non faith having generation. You woke me up out of my sleep 737 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,760 to calm a storm when I put peace in the boat with you. 738 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:37,960 The storm, the turbulence. I prayed that same prayer and 739 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,280 I'm trying to figure out how to reword it because the storm that 740 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:48,480 turbulence causes, it only exposes an inner storm. 741 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:58,760 Jesus said it don't matter how that plane, this ain't doing 742 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:04,000 this because watch this. Christ is my firm foundation. 743 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:09,080 We sing that all the time, huh? The rock on which I It's easy to 744 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,560 stand when nothing's pushing you. 745 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,480 It's easy to stand when there ain't no wind blowing. 746 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,840 It's easy to stand when there ain't no persecution. 747 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,280 The reason for this piece is because watch this. 748 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,600 We're in the world but not of it. 749 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,560 He says you're in it, not of it. He didn't say you're in it and 750 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,080 when you die you won't be in it no more. 751 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,760 He said while you're in it, you're not of it. 752 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:41,640 So so for the people around you who idolize the natural, they're 753 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:42,880 of it. They're of it. 754 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,360 You're not of it. So Jesus is frustrated because 755 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,520 he's like, why y'all trying to make me be of it? 756 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,240 Why are you trying to make me be of your perception? 757 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,160 Why are you trying to make me focus on the storm like you are? 758 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,840 You're of that natural storm. I'm over here sleeping good 759 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,840 right now. Toes might be a little wet 760 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,520 because the water in the boat, but I'm still good. 761 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:12,000 Watch this. Can you, can you have can you 762 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:18,480 have evidence of the storm on you but no storm in you? 763 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,120 Yeah, go ahead, write it down. Can you have watch? 764 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,200 It can be on me, but not in me. I'm in it, but not of it. 765 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,240 What makes you of it is because it's in your heart. 766 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,480 They misunderstood peace. They thought peace should be 767 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,720 freaking out like them. Watch this. 768 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,600 This is important. Jesus say you fix your eyes on 769 01:00:55,600 --> 01:01:02,880 me, I'll give you perfect peace. Watch this peace was illustrated 770 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:07,960 right in front of them. It was not that they watched 771 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,400 Jesus and they would have fell asleep. 772 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,800 But have you ever been on the dance floor and you caught a 773 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,480 glimpse of somebody who was off beat? 774 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,560 How many of y'all kept watching the person that was off beat? 775 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:26,400 Or did you turn away like you going some in me getting off by 776 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:31,560 watching you off? Jesus stayed there calm and 777 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:35,760 still because the same way an offbeat person can get you off 778 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,000 beat. He said just look at me watch 779 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,960 this because that storm is actually acting. 780 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,000 That water is acting out of character. 781 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,520 I didn't make the ocean to toss you around. 782 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,120 I didn't make animals to eat, y'all. 783 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,440 I didn't make waters to go past the line that I drew for them, 784 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,000 the boundaries that I drew for them. 785 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:03,280 But in the rebellion of humanity, all of nature is 786 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:13,160 suffering because of sin. Somebody throwing mints at me, I 787 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,360 didn't ask for one. All right? 788 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,680 I wish I would have saw who did it. 789 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,280 I'm the pastor that throw it back at you. 790 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,080 Amen. Hallelujah. 791 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,840 Amen. That's funny, but I'm trying. 792 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,760 I'm still I'm. I'm trying to, I'm trying to 793 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,840 keep my eyes on Jesus because I'm trying to figure out who 794 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,160 threw that men at me. Amen. 795 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:33,760 It fell off the table. Thank you. 796 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,880 OK, well, Amen. That's the first time in 797 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,280 history. I don't know how it got off the 798 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,440 All right, All right. He was the source of calm. 799 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:47,200 Jesus was irritated. He had to calm the external 800 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,920 storm in order to calm their internal chaos. 801 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:56,240 So calm environment was their Prince of Peace, not Jesus. 802 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,840 Calm environments was their Prince of Peace, not Jesus. 803 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,760 Enough money in the bank was their Prince of Peace, not Jesus 804 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:11,920 being accepted was their Prince of Peace. 805 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,720 Him calming the wind. Watch this. 806 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,840 Jesus, having to calm the wind was behavior modification. 807 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:24,600 There are many people in this room. 808 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:30,720 You, you have you have fixed your own storm by modifying your 809 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,120 circumstance. Watch this soon as that 810 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,800 replacement leave your life, the storm will be back seven times 811 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,320 stronger. Hallelujah. 812 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,720 I'm talking to it's good to be pastors and leaders like us 813 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,600 because we talked to the people that's here, right? 814 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,640 You walked in here with your modification. 815 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,920 You walked in here with your modification. 816 01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,880 I promise you the Lord's coming for your modification so he can 817 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:06,600 get to you.

What the self life is, is the 842 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,360 life of the flesh. Now I want you to see this very 843 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,360 clearly. It did not say, as you stop 844 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:20,480 sinning, some of you struggle with sin because you're not 845 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:25,320 yielded to the Spirit. He says as you yield to the 846 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:31,800 Spirit fully, you will not even crave what the flesh wants. 847 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,680 So as you yield to the Spirit, give me less, give me less, give 848 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,600 me less, give me way less.

And I spent too many years 853 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:03,520 battling with my flesh instead of yielding to the Spirit, and 854 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,160 my life in the Spirit causes my flesh to yield. 855 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,360 Some of y'all in here battling with your flesh every day trying 856 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,840 to stop sinning, trying not to think about that. 857 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,320 Instead of wake up in the morning and yield to the Spirit, 858 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,200 put your mind on the word of God. 859 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,400 You trying to go throughout the day. 860 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:25,760 I'm not going to be on Instagram. 861 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,080 How easy would it be to stay off Instagram? 862 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:33,360 When you put your mind on Him, your craving to get on there 863 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:40,760 would diminish. It says as you yield freely. 864 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,600 This is not OK. Well, I got to read the Bible 865 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,440 today.

And after you read, you went and 870 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,080 got in your flesh because you wasn't reading in intimacy, you 871 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:05,640 were reading out of obligation. As you yield freely and fully to 872 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,880 the dynamic life and power of the Holy Ghost, you will 873 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,880 abandoned the cravings of yourself. 874 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,840 Life.

So then the two incompatible and 945 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:09,000 conflicting forces within you, where are they? 946 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:18,440 Within you are yourself, life, all what you want, what you 947 01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:22,160 think, and the new creation life of the spirit. 948 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:28,320 And you thought when you got saved everything was going to be 949 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:29,840 easier. No, no, no. 950 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:36,960 You started a war. You just invited a war and this 951 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,600 is the good news. And This is why I need to yield 952 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:44,880 to the governor of the Kingdom of God, because he's the one 953 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,720 that's going to govern. So he's not just, it's just not 954 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:48,840 the Holy Spirit. Have your way. 955 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,760 No, no, no, no, no. He says thank you, but you got 956 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:54,200 to do what I tell you to do for me to have my way. 957 01:13:56,440 --> 01:13:59,560 OK is at least five people with me right now. 958 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:03,080 OK, cool. But when you are brought into 959 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:09,760 full the full freedom of the spirit of grace, you will no 960 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,960 longer be living under you can even stop the pad. 961 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,280 I need them to hear this. You will no longer be living 962 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:19,240 under the domination of the law. Watch this. 963 01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,080 So there comes a freedom that when the Holy Spirit truly has 964 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,480 you, there's things you're not not trying to do. 965 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,640 You're not spending your day fighting temptation and not 966 01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,200 trying to drink, or not trying to sleep with him or her or not 967 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,840 trying to get in a relationship. When you know you ain't healthy, 968 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:43,600 that battle is over. So I understand when I really 969 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,200 start living in Jesus is when I stop battling with my flesh and 970 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,720 truly fully surrender. Watch this. 971 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,040 The person that loves themself ends the battle. 972 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:59,120 How do you end the battle? Bible says choose ye this day. 973 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:04,360 Life, government, deaf government, trying to help 974 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:10,360 somebody today. But you soar above it. 975 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:17,080 You soar above it.

Will not inherit the Kingdom 1045 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:32,090 realm where peace is those who use their freedom. 1046 01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:36,730 He's talking to all believers who have been set free by Jesus. 1047 01:20:37,050 --> 01:20:42,130 You use your freedom not for discipline, not for yielding to 1048 01:20:42,130 --> 01:20:45,970 the Holy Spirit.

This is very beautiful. 1060 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,360 Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to 1061 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,200 be limitless. Keep in mind that we who belong 1062 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,760 to Jesus, the Anointed One, have already experienced crucifixion, 1063 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,000 right?

So you must continue to be led 1070 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:26,800 by Him. I don't know how else to help 1071 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:31,040 you, but I can tell you every single issue that's happening in 1072 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:35,760 this room, every area of where there's no peace, you can find 1073 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,040 your, your, your, your, your pill right here. 1074 01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:45,800 Let's simplify it.

Holy Spirit? 1083 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,320 Guess who you working against? It's no way you can sleep around 1084 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,000 living in sexual immorality and have the peace of God. 1085 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:22,600 So watch this.
