And the Spirit of Lord shall 10 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,800 rest upon him the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,600 spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge, and of the 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,240 reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. 13 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,360 This is prophesied of Jesus. And then in Romans 811. 14 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,520 And if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead 15 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,040 dwells in you, then he who raised up Christ Jesus from the 16 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,160 dead will also restore to your life mortal bodies through his 17 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,680 Spirit who dwells in you. Oh, the same Spirit that raised 18 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,080 Jesus, The same Spirit that raised Jesus, the spirit of 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,080 counsel, the spirit of might, the spirit of knowledge, the 20 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,480 spirit of the reverential fear of the Lord. 21 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Hallelujah. The same Spirit that raised 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,600 Christ, He dwells in you who believe. 23 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,480 The same Spirit of understanding, the same spirit 24 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,960 of counsel, the same spirit of might. 25 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,800 You're looking for counsel. The Spirit of Lord is upon you. 26 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520 You're looking for the spirit of mind. 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480 He dwells richly within you. And to all who've received 28 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,720 Jesus, Amen. What a revelation man God is 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,240 good. Wow. 30 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,240 Now, my name is Elder Brett and our pastors, Pastor Terence and 31 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520 Pastor Julia, are away this weekend. 32 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,720 For those who are new, they're just to wait for this weekend 33 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,720 but send their love. And we are excited to see what 34 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,120 God is doing here in this house today. 35 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,800 And I want to thank Pastor Terence and Pastor Julia for the 36 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200 opportunity and blessing it is to be able to share from this 37 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,840 platform. And thank you. 38 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:44,160 Thank you for being courageous and bold in your faith to 39 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,440 establish a work and walk with Jesus and in honouring him. 40 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,920 And you're a blessing for us and an example of what it means to 41 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760 follow the Lord. Do you agree? 42 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,440 Yeah, Very blessed to have pastors like that. 43 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,320 So we're going to continue with the message on Lush perfecting 44 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,960 the Saints. And this has been the subject 45 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,480 for the theme for a few weeks now. 46 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880 And it's the perfecting of the Saints. 47 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,960 So who here is a St. right? All those who believe in Jesus, 48 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,760 right? And the perfecting is the 49 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200 maturing. He's bringing us into maturity. 50 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,160 He's bringing us into a place where we come to know Him in a 51 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,640 deeper way. And then Pastor Teres gave a 52 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,200 prophetic word, and in the prophetic word says he's 53 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200 equipping us because the wind's about to blow. 54 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,960 The wind is about to blow. We were singing about the Holy 55 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,840 Spirit in Acts 24. The Spirit came is the sound of 56 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,440 a rushing, mighty wind. A sound of the wind is a great 57 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,680 sound when the Holy Spirit came in Acts chapter 2. 58 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,480 In John chapter 3 and verse 8, Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus 59 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,400 and he says the wind blows where it wills, and though you hear 60 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,280 its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it 61 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,120 is going. So it is with everyone who is 62 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,720 born of the Spirit. Often we can hear the wind going 63 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,360 through the trees or you hear the wind whistle through through 64 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,080 the, the sheds or back home. We'd often have corrugated iron 65 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,440 back home. I'm home. 66 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,960 But back in Australia where I grew up, we had corrugated iron 67 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,400 roofs and sometimes the wind would blow through and get a 68 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,720 whistle sound, you know, and you could hear the wind but you 69 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,320 couldn't see the wind, right. You didn't see wind. 70 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,480 You'd see what the wind would, would blow up or the, the flags 71 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,600 would move and you know there was wind because the flags, you 72 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,400 know, straight out. So there's a wind occurring, but 73 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,200 you don't see the wind. And so Jesus is saying as it is, 74 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,160 so it is with the Holy Spirit. As the wind of the Spirit blows, 75 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,520 we see how the Spirit of God actually works in US and to to 76 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520 move through us to touch other people's lives as well. 77 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,440 So it's the effect of the wind. And today we're going to talk 78 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,600 about three things. The wind exposes, the wind 79 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:47,800 refreshes and the wind reveals. Would you? 80 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,880 I've seen some tropical cyclones in Australia, hurricanes here. 81 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,960 I've never been in one. Has anyone been in a hurricane 82 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,120 before? Anybody? 83 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,040 No, we're all. Oh, yeah. 84 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,720 Well, there you go. J TS been there. 85 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:07,080 And you go in into a hurricane and that wind will blow really 86 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,480 hard. And usually there's a little bit 87 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,440 of time. And so you see on the news, oh, 88 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,920 there's a, there's a hurricane coming in. 89 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,520 So they've, they've got plywood in there, they're boarding up 90 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,640 all the, the windows and they're securing anything they can find, 91 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:25,320 trying to make sure that the wind is not going to blow away 92 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,920 what they have. But what happens in the 93 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,960 hurricane is the wind exposes weakness. 94 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,080 So there's a, a weakness maybe in a roof. 95 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,920 And also that roof is gone. It's exposed. 96 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,800 It's exposed that it wasn't secure, it wasn't able to 97 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,320 maintain its position. And if a roof comes off a house 98 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,400 or a building, everything within the building is now exposed, 99 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,480 exposed to the rain, exposed to the elements. 100 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,120 And this is part of how the Lord works when he blows in the 101 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,360 Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is 102 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,880 to expose those parts of our life to make an exposure, not to 103 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:20,800 embarrass, not to point the finger, not to condemn, but 104 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:28,280 rather exposure to heal, to bring correction, to create a 105 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,440 new space to to make the way clear. 106 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,560 And that exposure reveals things. 107 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,600 And so when the wind of the Spirit is blowing, be aware that 108 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320 the wind of the Spirit will expose those things that are 109 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,920 weaknesses. Where there's a weak point, 110 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,960 there's an exposure because the wind blows through, it finds a 111 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,720 space. Matthew Chapter 7 and verse 24 112 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,640 reads Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it, You 113 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,840 said that and follows it and follows it. 114 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,960 Repeat after me and follows it. This is a workshop. 115 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720 It's more of a workshop than a than a lecture. 116 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,000 So I'm going to invite you to participate and I'll surprise 117 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,520 you from time to time. OK? 118 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, 119 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,120 like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 120 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters 121 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,240 rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse 122 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,919 because it is built on bedrock or solid rock. 123 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,360 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey it is foolish, 124 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,880 like a person who builds a house on sand. 125 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,520 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that 126 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,040 house, it will collapse with a mighty crash. 127 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,360 So we have two houses and before the winds come and the rains 128 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,640 come they could look like the same house. 129 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,160 Beautiful Bay windows, a lovely gourmet kitchen. 130 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:18,800 The extra spice kitchen, which I don't know what they do in 131 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,600 there, but sometimes the houses have that spice kitchen and then 132 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,520 the, you know, 5 bedrooms and a media room and all the 133 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,000 accoutrements you want. And they might look the same. 134 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,840 But then the wind comes and the rain comes and the storm comes 135 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,120 and the challenge comes and then we find out that one of them is 136 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,440 built on a solid rock and one of them is built on sand. 137 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,000 And have you ever made a sand castle, made a sandcastle and 138 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,400 then the then the wave comes in and he goes, it's gone, right? 139 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,400 All that work down the drain. OK, never was much work when I 140 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,680 did them. But but the sandcastle does not 141 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,680 stay because it's not on solid rock. 142 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:12,720 It's on sand sand. It moves, it shifts, it has 143 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,960 uncertainties to it. Now what's interesting is Jesus 144 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:23,120 doesn't say that the house built on the rock is the person who 145 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,560 built the house on the rock heard, but the person who built 146 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,160 their house on the sand did not hear. 147 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,960 It says both of them heard the word. 148 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,080 So both the man who built the house on the rock and the man 149 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,280 who built the house on the sand heard the same things they heard 150 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,760 from the Lord in the same way. The difference was the 151 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,320 obedience. It wasn't that they didn't hear 152 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,200 the same thing. And the guys go, oh, I didn't 153 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,480 hear that. No, you heard the same thing. 154 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:09,920 One person put it into practice and when the exposure came, they 155 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:17,200 remained solid. The other one heard the message 156 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,000 but didn't apply it, didn't put it into practice, didn't, didn't 157 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,320 say, yeah, that's, that's for me. 158 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,600 I've got to do something about that. 159 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,080 I've got to see change in my life. 160 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,800 I've got to see a move in my life. 161 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240 I I hear that word, I'm going to act on it. 162 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,400 Rather, they heard the word and let it slide. 163 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,440 And when trouble came, when exposure came, it fell flat on 164 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,640 the ground. So it's not hearing the word, 165 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,400 it's doing it. In fact, you honour the word of 166 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,360 God. When you activate the word of 167 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,640 God, there's an honour attached to it. 168 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,960 The wind is blowing to blow out the shakable. 169 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,280 We're talking about hurricanes. If it finds a table that's not 170 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,040 secured, it's going to take it off. 171 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,000 It's going to, I think it was in the movie Twister or maybe it 172 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,840 was in Wizard of Oz, I don't know. 173 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,080 There's a tornado and then there's a cow in there with a 174 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,400 cow wasn't secured that ends up blown away. 175 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,520 That's right. But it but the wind is coming to 176 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,960 blow out the shakable. And in many cases, what it is, 177 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,120 is areas within our life where we have decided our way was 178 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,120 easier. And as the Holy Spirit is 179 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:49,200 moving, especially in this season, he's calling us to live 180 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:55,240 in the unshakeable. In Hebrews 12, verse 28, the 181 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:01,400 writer talks about how there's a shaking, but do not fear because 182 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,960 we live in an unshakeable Kingdom. 183 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,880 When we are built on Christ and obedient to what He's called us 184 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120 to, we are in an unshakeable Kingdom. 185 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,240 They're shaking around us. They're shaking in the world. 186 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,960 They're shaking. That occurs. 187 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,760 But we are built on the solid rock of Jesus, an unshakeable 188 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Kingdom. First John chapter 2 and verse 189 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,560 3. And we can be sure that we know 190 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:41,160 Him if we obey his commandments. Say that with me obey his 191 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,840 commandments and we can be sure that we know him if we obey his 192 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,320 commandments. If someone claims I know God, I 193 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,200 know him, I've heard all about him. 194 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,560 I, I I read it, I read the Bible. 195 00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:01,040 I I know who he is but doesn't obey God's commandments. 196 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,680 That person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 197 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,840 Now this is some straight talking from John. 198 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,480 He said you can claim to know him, but if you're not obeying 199 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:24,680 him, you don't know him, you don't know who he is, continues 200 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,120 on and says. But those who obey God's word 201 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520 truly show how completely they love him. 202 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,640 They show it in the words they speak, in the way they engage 203 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,640 with people, in their steps of faith. 204 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,040 They show it, They show their love. 205 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:52,440 It's revealed. If I said to my wife Stacey, I 206 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,360 love you. And then I never talk to her all 207 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,320 day. I ignore her. 208 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440 At night. I make dinner, but just for me. 209 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,280 I I walk out in the morning, never talk to her, turn my face 210 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,240 away from her. What does my love word mean? 211 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,200 Does this saying the word I love you, does that, does that mean 212 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,560 anything? If it doesn't have a backup to 213 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,640 it, have a support to it, have a substance to it. 214 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,320 But those who obey God's Word truly show how completely they 215 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000 love Him. This is how we know we are 216 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,680 living in Him. Those who say they live in God 217 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,480 should live their lives as Jesus did. 218 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Here is the example. This is the standard He's 219 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,960 calling us to, seeking to walk out our lives as Jesus did. 220 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,760 Walk out our lives in the way that he set as an example. 221 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,040 And this is how we know we're living in Him. 222 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,160 Dear friends, I'm not writing a new commandment for you. 223 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,560 Rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. 224 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:21,120 This old commandment to love one another is the same message you 225 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560 heard before, yet it is also new. 226 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,120 Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are 227 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,560 living it. For the darkness is disappearing 228 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 and the true light is already shining. 229 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,280 But if anyone claims I am living in the light but hates a fellow 230 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,120 believer, that person is still living in darkness. 231 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light 232 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,680 and does not 'cause others to stumble. 233 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,560 But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and 234 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,560 walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the 235 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,960 way to go, having been blinded by the darkness. 236 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,720 It's quite a clear separation between light and dark. 237 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,680 In first John chapter one verse 4, John says God is light and 238 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:25,680 there is no darkness in him. So right at the outset of this 239 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,360 letter he is identifying the clear defining marks between 240 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:35,200 what is of God light and what is not of God, darkness. 241 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,680 Remember, darkness of itself is not a thing, it's just the 242 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,280 absence of light. They measure the amount of 243 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,320 darkness by the amount of light they see, because you can't 244 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,840 measure darkness. Darkness is just the absence of 245 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,840 light. So here he's saying when you 246 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,280 love, when you care for your fellow believer, the way you're 247 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,600 treating them is an indication of whether you're abiding in 248 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:16,520 him, how you are joined to God. If you hate your brother, you're 249 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,560 not walking in the light. You're not walking in the light 250 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,360 that he's called us to, you're choosing to walk in the 251 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:32,960 darkness. Proverbs 26, verse 20. 252 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,100 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no 253 00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:47,100 whisperer, contention ceases. As coals are to hot embers and 254 00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:51,020 as wood to fire, so as a quarrelsome man to inflamed 255 00:18:51,020 --> 00:18:57,980 strife, a whisperer is someone who likes to go into the corner, 256 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,520 a gossip, A whisperer, someone who's coming into the corner to 257 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,000 the quiet place to have that conversation because it doesn't 258 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,640 want to be exposed to the lights. 259 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,680 In in our foundations course that we we run as an 260 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,360 introduction to love quest. In the second foundations 261 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:22,440 course, we talk about being centre of the ring, not going to 262 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,000 our corners, not going into our dark places, not going into the 263 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000 side places, but bringing it up to the open so we can talk about 264 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,440 it, we can expose it. And when you do that, you take 265 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,400 wood away from the fire, right? The Whisperer adds wood to a 266 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,720 fire, adds stocking to that flame, the the flame that burns 267 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,640 to destruction. But when you bring it to the 268 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,240 open, the open spaces, that's when God moves. 269 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,640 That's when we're able to see in light. 270 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,760 And when we are doing that, now the whole body can operate in 271 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,600 unity. The whole body can operate well 272 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,880 because there's not a dysfunctional little pinky toe 273 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960 going off to the side here, right? 274 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,000 There's a unity that keeps us together, keeps us strong 275 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,080 together, and sets us up for what God has for us. 276 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,800 You see, there's health in that. At first, John, it was very 277 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,760 clear. Love one another. 278 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:47,560 Love that. Love that cares enough to watch 279 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:54,520 over somebody, that love that cares enough to be vulnerable. 280 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,440 Love that doesn't go to the darkness. 281 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:10,280 Love wants to be in the light. So there's a wind that is 282 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:16,000 exposing and bringing us into a place of vulnerability. 283 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,360 Now that exposure is not for embarrassment, but for good. 284 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000 We talked about in the first experience, God is good. 285 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:38,240 And when we understand that first it becomes our governing 286 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,040 measure for everything else that's going on. 287 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,480 A governing measure is the measure from which all other 288 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,360 measures come from, right? How we so this is three, well, 289 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,920 Home Depot kind of have a governing measure, right? 290 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,720 They've got that thing post on the board and 10 feet is 10 291 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,760 feet. If it's 10 feet to that right, 292 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,120 that's 10 feet. I can argue that the 10 feet is 293 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,520 longer or shorter, but the 10 feet is what the governing 294 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,960 measure says, right? And so I have to pay that amount 295 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,440 in the same way. God is good is our governing 296 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,920 measure. God is good. 297 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,160 So now I interpret my encounters, my experiences, my 298 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,560 personal challenges in light of God's goodness. 299 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:32,520 And now his exposure, in light of the fact that God is good, is 300 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,880 actually for our well-being, our health, our strength, our 301 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,520 capacity, our maturity into the things of Jesus. 302 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,440 The wind exposes, then the wind refreshes. 303 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,680 Acts 319 says, and now you must repent and turn back to God so 304 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,280 that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing 305 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,920 will stream from the Lord's presence. 306 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:12,720 What an amazing thing when we repent, when we come into God's 307 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,920 presence, when we turn our back on our sins, it promises that we 308 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,480 get times of refreshing and not just ordinary times of 309 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,520 refreshing. What does it say? 310 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,560 From the Lord's presence, from the very presence of God, 311 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,880 refreshing flows from the very presence of the Saviour. 312 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,600 He's refreshing us. He's filling us. 313 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,240 Chris letting on our Monday night prayer call gave. 314 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,360 We were talking about the wind is blowing and he gave this 315 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,120 story illustration. He was out, they were doing some 316 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:58,040 hunting and they were coming back from that and coming up the 317 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:04,080 mountain and they had a backpack full of of gear and coming up 318 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920 that mountain. It was hot and it was difficult 319 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,840 and it was challenging. And as he was doing it, then he 320 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,680 caught the breeze, the refreshing of the breeze, and it 321 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:24,120 gave him a second wind. The wind of the Spirit is 322 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:29,480 blowing to refresh us, to enable us, to strengthen us. 323 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,800 The wind of the Spirit is blowing to refresh our souls, to 324 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,960 refresh us to be able to walk in the next steps He's calling us 325 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,000 to, to be prepared for it. The spirit is blowing to refresh 326 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,800 your soul. Matthew 11 verse 28 past Terence 327 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,960 preached from this just last week. 328 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,520 It says come to me all you who labour and are heavy laden and 329 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,440 overburdened and I will cause you to rest. 330 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,720 I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. 331 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,600 There's a power in that. When we come to the Lord, we 332 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,960 come to Jesus and we we come in repentance and we come in with 333 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,920 hope and we come filled with faith. 334 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,000 He says I will cause you to rest. 335 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,200 We don't have to fight to find rest, he's saying. 336 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,800 I will actually cause you to come into rest. 337 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,280 I will cause you to come into a place where your soul is 338 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,720 undisturbed, a place of rest in me. 339 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:54,400 The first step is come to me. Come into his presence. 340 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,360 Come to Him and He'll cause you to rest. 341 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,320 He'll bring you to a place of rest. 342 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,160 In Psalm 23, He leads me beside still waters. 343 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:12,080 He restores my soul. That is what He's doing, 344 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,200 restoring our souls, restoring us from the insider. 345 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:25,800 That anxiety that has possessed you is causing you to rest a 346 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,360 trouble that has consumed your mind. 347 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,200 He says come to me and I'll cause you to rest. 348 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,920 That addiction that has bound you, that thing that has caught 349 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,400 you up, He says I'll come to me, I will deliver you and give you 350 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,560 a rest. You see, we talked about how 351 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:58,360 great God is in Job 38 to 41. I read it this week because why 352 00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:03,720 not? And it's a fantastic part of Job 353 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,680 where we get past all the complaining bits and all the 354 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:11,280 back and forth. And the Lord says Job questions, 355 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,320 what are we doing? And the Lord says, where were 356 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,600 you? Where were you when I measured 357 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320 the earth? Where were you when I set the 358 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,160 boundaries of the water? Where were you where I told and 359 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,640 taught the lightning bolt to go a certain path? 360 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,280 Where were you when I said how the way of light? 361 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,760 He is God Almighty, and He's calling you to come into His 362 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,480 rest. He's inviting you to come into 363 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:51,320 that place of His peace. His invitation has come back to 364 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,560 me. Yes, certainly. 365 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,960 For those who have yet to receive Christ, come back to 366 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,840 him. Be reconciled to God, as it says 367 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,280 in Two Corinthians 5.

The wind is moving to refresh 387 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,600 our souls. He's calling us to a place of 388 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,800 rest. He's calling us to a place of 389 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:11,120 absolute dependence and reliance on Him and communion with Him, 390 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,040 time with Him, time spent in his presence. 391 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,320 He loves you. He desires to be with you. 392 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,560 The wind reveals. So we had the wind exposes, 393 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,240 revealing those, making us aware of those things that maybe have 394 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,840 weaknesses or where he wants to bring change in our lives. 395 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,600 The wind refreshes us to build up our soul, to encourage us, to 396 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,120 help us in our life and in our days. 397 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:56,560 And then the wind reveals and in the revelation, in the 398 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,400 revealing, the Holy Spirit is revealing the things that he's 399 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:10,920 spoken into your life. Maybe there's a windstorm and 400 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,920 all of a sudden you see those stories where there's a storm 401 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,680 and also, oh wow, that's the secret treasure right there. 402 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,600 We never knew it was there because it was covered with all 403 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,040 the dust and cobwebs and everything. 404 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,120 But now we know because the wind is blown, right? 405 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:34,160 The Holy Spirit is moving to reveal Jeremiah chapter 23 and 406 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,880 verse 23 to 24 says am IA God at hand, says the Lord and not a 407 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:45,560 God afar off. Can anyone hide himself in 408 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,320 secret places so that I cannot see him? 409 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:54,880 Says the Lord did not I feel the heavens and the earth, says the 410 00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:04,520 Lord fills it. You go back to the other slide. 411 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,920 Can anyone hide in a secret place? 412 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,120 God's saying I made the heavens and the earth. 413 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,200 You can't hide from me. I made it all. 414 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,000 I put it all in place. There's no way you could run 415 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,800 that. I can't see you. 416 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,920 It's revealed. No way you can hide. 417 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,440 No secret place where God can't reach you. 418 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:50,640 There's nowhere he can't see you, but he wants to reveal 419 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,680 himself to you. Hebrews 4 verse 12 to 13 says, 420 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,080 For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than 421 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,640 any 2 edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and 422 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,160 spirit and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the 423 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,600 thoughts and intents of the heart. 424 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,080 See the Word of God. The word that God gives pierces, 425 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,960 breaks through, breaks through the facade, breaks through the 426 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,360 barrier, breaks through those things that you're putting up. 427 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,720 God's Word gets to the heart of it. 428 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:37,880 He gets to the heart of what you're dealing with, and he is a 429 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,520 discerner. It is a discerner of the 430 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,080 thoughts and intents of the heart, the unseen places. 431 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,120 The place where you have a thought but you don't tell 432 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:58,840 anybody, can't hide from him. The place where you maybe have 433 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,280 that disappointment you should never shared with anybody. 434 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:11,080 Can't hide from him. But he reveals. 435 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:19,239 To heal, He reveals. To build you up, He reveals. 436 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:24,880 To empower you, He reveals to mature you. 437 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,199 He reveals because His heart is towards you. 438 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,760 He reveals because He is intent on knowing you and having you 439 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,080 know Him. He reveals because His intention 440 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,679 is that you might grow into the image of Jesus. 441 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:53,040 He reveals because He doesn't want you to scrape by, scrape 442 00:34:53,040 --> 00:35:03,960 into heaven, get a golden ticket, run up the fire escape, 443 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,480 all those different things that define somebody who says, oh I 444 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:16,600 prayed once and I am good, sure, OK, but God did not save you to 445 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:25,120 leave you unchanged. He saved you to bring you into 446 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,280 the image of Christ. Galatians 419 says that you 447 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,560 would be moulded into the image of Christ. 448 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,000 Ephesians chapter 4 around verse 21 says that you're matured into 449 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,360 the very stature of Christ, that we're growing more and more like 450 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:49,520 Him. Your kids have two fairly grown 451 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,200 up kids now and your kids start to grow more and more like you. 452 00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:01,480 Not that much, but sometimes there's a, there's a saying or 453 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,800 a, a, a twitch of, you know, we can both wiggle our ears, things 454 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,800 like that. Because we've been around each 455 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:18,040 other, right? We, we, we've, we've rubbed off 456 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:23,040 on each other. You, you've, you've influenced, 457 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,520 you've been, you've had times of closeness because family do 458 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,080 that. Then you have times in family 459 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:38,000 where it's not joyous, but that rubbing off that that that 460 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:45,080 that's what comes as we are more in his presence to know him. 461 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,920 There's a verse, it's Philippians 3 verse 8 and Paul's 462 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,600 writing and he says I counted all as dung for the knowledge of 463 00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:03,360 Jesus. He's talking about all the big 464 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,560 things he's done all the, all the the the accolades he could 465 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,360 have and talk about. And he says I counted all as 466 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:20,400 rubbish compared to this knowing Jesus because he's revealing in 467 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,040 you to bring fruit in your life. He's he's showing these areas 468 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,360 the wind is blowing to reveal so that you can be more like him. 469 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:37,960 You can walk like him, talk like him, love like him. 470 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,280 The wind is blowing to bring us to surrender. 471 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,880 Galatians 5, verse 22 to 23. But the fruit of the Holy 472 00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:01,240 Spirit, the work which His presence within accomplishes, is 473 00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:20,120 love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, 474 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:33,200 faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 475 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,480 Against such things there is no law that can bring a charge. 476 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:54,880 The wind of God is revealing, so we can be fruitful, the verse 22 477 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,360 says. But the fruit of the Holy 478 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,560 Spirit, the work which His presence within accomplishes, 479 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,680 His Lovejoy, peace, patience, kindness, etcetera. 480 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:14,480 It's his presence within us. It's our abiding in him. 481 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,000 It's our resting in him. It's our reliance on him. 482 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,120 It's our hoping in him. It's our yielding to him. 483 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:29,400 It's our surrender to him. See these things are, you know, 484 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,080 we might try for a short period of time to just change our 485 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,120 behaviour. I'll just, I can really do it. 486 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,120 I'll just, I'm going to, I'm going to just not swear for the 487 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,240 next 14 days. I can do it right. 488 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:55,200 OK, the next 14 days, All right. The behaviour modification by 489 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:04,080 intent can have some results, but a surrendered life. 490 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:13,920 Has a different motive. See a life that is determined to 491 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:22,440 behaviour modification by my own grit must require the power to 492 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:28,640 do it from you. A surrendered life. 493 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:35,880 A life surrendered to God. Now I'm pressing in. 494 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,280 I'm leaning into him. And yeah, I have my trips, I 495 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,680 have my bumps, I have my fault, but my leaning is into him. 496 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,240 My surrender is in him. And now when I go, oh, this, 497 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,000 this, this person's hard to love. 498 00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,880 But am I surrendered? Am I surrendered? 499 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,920 Have I surrendered to him? Have I surrendered my life to 500 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,480 him? Then it doesn't matter what I 501 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,080 think about that situation. I am a surrendered vessel. 502 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,640 John 15. I think I referenced it earlier, 503 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:21,640 but it's abide in me and I will abide in you and you'll be only 504 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,440 those who abide in me will be fruitful. 505 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,320 Abiding is the dwelling, the living, the surrendered life. 506 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:40,880 The wind of the Spirit is moving and calling us to that place of 507 00:41:40,880 --> 00:42:00,790 surrender, the place where He is the governor of my life, a place 508 00:42:01,510 --> 00:42:11,240 where I am fully at rest in Him. And that will change the way I 509 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:15,240 see. It'll change the way I speak. 510 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:26,480 It changes my priorities. A surrendered life is a yielded 511 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:35,520 life, but a surrendered life in Him is an abundant life. 512 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,560 Jesus said if any man come after me, he must take up his cross, 513 00:42:49,960 --> 00:43:00,710 deny himself and follow me. Holy Spirit is blowing to bring 514 00:43:00,710 --> 00:43:04,390 us into a place of holiness and surrender. 515 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:21,680 Holy Spirit is calling to us, revealing, revealing to us so 516 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:36,500 that we can walk clear sighted. He is exposing roots that are 517 00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:42,740 broken and damaged. He's exposing roofs that have 518 00:43:42,740 --> 00:43:51,740 become weakened. The Holy Spirit is speaking. 519 00:43:53,980 --> 00:44:07,240 Have ears to hear. The Holy Spirit is calling, 520 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:18,040 calling us to a place of His abundance where we abide in Him. 521 00:44:24,550 --> 00:44:27,910 Holy Spirit is exposing for your good. 522 00:44:28,910 --> 00:44:36,150 Let the light shine. Let the light of His glory have 523 00:44:36,150 --> 00:44:47,320 full sway in your life. Holy Spirit, we thank you for 524 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:55,680 your great work. Lord, move on us. 525 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,720 Bring us to the place of dependence on you. 526 00:45:12,610 --> 00:45:21,440 Lord, move through our life. Reveal what you're doing, Reveal 527 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:30,600 correction, reveal maybe lost calls, Reveal those 528 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:35,440 disappointments when we gave up on a promise that we know is 529 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:41,680 true in the Word. Bring it back, Lord, to our 530 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,840 remembrance. So we take it up again in faith, 531 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,240 Lord, the calls on our life, the promises that we have allowed 532 00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:57,920 slip by. Lord, thank you, You're 533 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,760 refreshing them, You're renewing them. 534 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,520 You're bringing them back to our remembrance. 535 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:12,640 Those spirit is blowing to reveal Lord a thank you, that 536 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:19,920 new life, New Hope, new love, Lord of freshness to our love 537 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,760 for you.
