Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoyed this message. Let's turn over to Numbers.
Chapter 23, I'm really excited about today's message because
the Lord dropped this in my spirit.
Now, when I say, That there are messages that I study out,
meaning I'm reading doing my Bible, reading different things
and I've come across things and I get a perception, right?
Some messages that I Minister comes up again by the perception
that we need to cover this again.
But then sometimes messages come, when I'm not even thinking
about it, studying have no thought, and the Lord drops a
concept and then at that juncture, I'm life.
Mmm, well there's something here and when I began to unveil this
myself this morning more, I realize this will not be one
service. In fact it'll probably be 3.
So again if you're going to get the totality of something then
you're going to have to follow through in order to to receive
all that God wants to do and what I'm talking to you today,
as it is a must it is a must, this is not, it can be this way,
it could be this way, maybe it. It's a must It's a must which
means there is no other way. But this way, and I'm not
talking about coming to the father through Jesus.
I'm not talking about the New Birth experience.
All right, we're talking about something else today Menorah to
do it. Let's build a foundation
numbers. 23:19 says, this says, God is not a man that he should
lie. Nor a son of man that he should
repent. Has he said, and will he not do
it or has he spoken and will he not make it good?
Now, there's a whole lot in this one verse and lets, you know
what, because I'm doing three weeks, there's no telling how
long I'll stay on one verse because I'll just go as the
spirit leads me in each verse. First thing, I want us to look
at, is this, as I read it, the Lord dropped this, he said, will
say it now. So here it is repent.
Notice that first of all, God is not a man.
So again, you cannot equate god with anything.
You see naturally, you cannot equate with though, he has terms
that are associated with Humanity like father, but you
can't look at a father and say, I've seen God Cause God the
father is the perfect father. And all of us no matter how much
we aspire to want to be like our heavenly father and maybe model
it pretty well, we will not do it as well as he does period.
So he is awesome but he's not a man that he should lie, which
tells us is, he never lies. So again you have to take
changer, you're mighty media and say whatever God says, is not a
lot. And whatever he says he's gonna
do, he's not lying. And the problem is, is we become
kind of a custom with lying Although we're not at like we're
lying. We do this most of the time with
our kids. Well, and our kids will be
talking to us about something. They want something want some?
Okay, we'll get it. Okay, we'll go later.
Okay, we'll do this and we'll kind of sneak statements to kind
of, you know, get them to quit. But then we don't act on it.
So in our children's mind dad said we go to Disney and we
haven't gone. Dan said, he bought me a bike
and he hasn't bought it. Dad said, he'd take me to this
or Mom and they didn't do it. But when God says something he's
going to do it, he's not a liar. In fact, he can't lie at all.
It's be really important for us to hear what he's saying.
So again, you can't go to God and go.
I don't know about that. God can't lie.
So if he calls you healed, Then your heel.
You can't. He's not a liar.
If he says you're away, then you're away.
And the only way you're not away is because you choose to not
believe God, it's not a god problem, then it becomes our
problem because God can't lie. What God says he says and that's
it. And it's our responsibility to
do the next thing. Nor a son of man that he should
repent. Repent means, change your
thinking. But we've been so religiously
brainwashed because we water down the world with the word to
only mean ask Jesus into your heart.
So when you die, you'll go to heaven teachings that we have
changed repent to only have this thought process, quit doing evil
and turn and only do good. And that's what we've relegated
repent to when the original meaning of repent means, change
your thinking change your thinking so he's saying he's not
a son of man that he has to change his thinking.
We have to change ours. I said we have to change ours
and we'll see why we have to change our share in a minute.
And it says has he said And will he not do it or has he spoken
and will he not make it good? Does God do what he says?
Yes, he does. How do we know this?
Let's look at some scripture in Matthew and Luke 21:33.
It says this Heaven and Earth will pass away, but Ma my words
will, what they will, not pass away.
They will not pass away, they will not heaven and earth.
Will pass away before his word would pass away.
Isaiah 55:11. Isaiah 55:11.
He says this. So shall my word be?
So shall my word be which goes
out from my mouth out of my mouth, it shall not return to me
void, but it shall accomplish what I please.
And it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.
It will certainly do it. I've said it will certainly do
it, so God is not a man that he should lie.
God's word is truth. God's word will do what God
said. He will do.
God's word will do what he said he will do.
Let's go to Genesis chapter 1. I said those to set context Of
God, scripture for us, because if we're going to learn what the
Lord wants to get over to us today and in the next couple of
weeks to come, then we're going to have to understand how God
looks at the words that come out of his mouth.
Okay, Genesis 1:26 and 27. Then God then God.
What? Then God, what?
So taking that in context of Isaiah 55, he said the words
that goes out of my mouth, it shall not return to me void, but
it will accomplish that which I please, it will certainly do as
I sent it. So God said, what's he want to
accomplish? Let us make man in our image,
according to our likeness and let them rule.
Let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea over, the birds
of the sky, over the cattle, over all the Earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, God created, man
in his own image in the image of God, he created him male and
female, he created him. So God through his word says, I
will have a human race that will be in my image and they will
have dominion. God said, this.
Who said it? God said it.
So we'll God have a human race that will have dominion.
Yes, he will because he said it. Because he said it, because he
said it, because he said it. And we know according to Genesis
that he formed man of the Dust of the earth chapter 2 and it
says he breathed into his nostrils, the Breath of Life in
essence, he imparted from his being his spiritual DNA.
He he, he breathed into the nostrils of man and he became a
Living spirit. By which the Holy Spirit could
then communicate with him and identify him as a Son of God.
And he created this being to have a spirit.
We know in 1st Thessalonians 5:23, I'll probably come back to
this and and deal with a little bit more in a later teaching,
but he said that are Spirit soul and body would remain blameless
until the return of of Christ. And so that identifies, that we
are a threefold nature person. We are a spirit, we have a soul
and we live in a body. Okay we are a spirit, we have a
soul and we live in a body. And so God poured from his
Spirit into this man who made a Living spirit that the Holy
Spirit could identify with and communicate with that, then
opened up a soul Realm by which he can now Have a gate that Soul
round by his spirit that then would influence his physical
body realm and his physical body did not know sickness disease,
like nothing. It was glorified he was a being
that was created without sin man.
It was awesome but the Lord communicates to this beam
because he is a free will be just like all beings that God
creates and he says to him. In essence.
This is the meaning of that statement.
When the Lord says you can eat of any tree of the garden, but
of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat
for the day. You eat, you will surely what
die? Okay, in essence the Lord says
prove, you love me by keeping my word.
Jesus literally said in John chapter 15, he says, if you love
me You will keep my word, you'll keep my command, you'll do what
I say. He didn't say, if you love me,
you'll feel it. Okay.
If you love me, we're going to feel something.
When we see each other, when I come in the room, you're gonna
go, who I feel something. Many of you started pursuing the
opposite sex because you felt something, okay?
And many you're like, wish I wouldn't have felt that.
I'm not saying with who you have today, but I'm sure some of you
have some relationships. You're like, wish I want the
felt that we shouldn't felt that at all.
Wish. I went to follow that feeling.
Oh, now the Lord didn't come in, the cool of the day and Adam
goes, oh, I feel love. I just feel the love of God now.
Oh, you don't want to hear this? Come on.
Help me out because, man, we gonna go a little bit deeper in
this. De OK.
He said, if you love me, you'll keep my word.
So, the father says now, son. I love you.
Look what I created for you. Look the environment I put you
in. Look how much I care for you.
Look how much I provide it for you all.
I need you to do is continue to maintain my word.
There's only one thing you don't do.
Only one. And that's don't eat of the tree
of the knowledge of Good and Evil.
For the day you eat of it, you will surely want Da.
Well, we know in Genesis chapter 3, that Adam ate the fruit.
And the Bible says, when he ate the fruit sin entered the world
in essence, Adam died. Now, we know, Adam did not cease
to breathe. He didn't just fall down on the
garden floor. And Eve didn't either.
They were still breathing. They still could think.
They could still feel. They could still process
information with their mind. So, their soul was still there,
but their Spirit died, their Spirit became separated from
God, no longer it is, is it in the nature of God?
And as a result of that, atom now when he fell from Dominion
has to live his life from his soul Realm.
Not only his soul realm. But from his body realm as well,
meaning he began to make decisions based upon how it made
him feel or based upon how he saw things and he knew his own
physical limitations. So he would begin to allow what
he thought he could or couldn't do naturally based upon
experience which is his body Realm.
Or the way he felt concerning his situation in essence.
The three full nature man, although he was still a spirit,
it was dead to God, not alive to God, and had no capacity to be
to connect with God, are you hearing me?
So he then must navigate life through his thinking, his mind,
his soul realm, that was predicated.
How he felt or his physical perceived limitations, see for
Adam, he would not be able to say, okay I can come and pick up
this speaker and the speaker, you know, and you know, these
drums, all at one time and carry them on my back because you know
what, I can't physically carry them.
So he would not even attempt yet.
There was a man anointed of God who could rip doors off of Of a
Gates of the city and carry them.
It's amazing. What happens when the spirit can
get a hold of you? Instead of just your natural
ability. Are you hearing me?
So Adam was led by his soul, his mind, his emotions, his
intellect, it dictated his choices and his physical
strength, also dictated, it would also communicate.
If he was tired, his body would begin to say, don't even get up,
don't even try your don't even move, don't go there.
It would begin to. Dictate how he lived. and even
to today, that is how man lives Man lives in just those two
Realms are two aspects of its being.
They're making choices from their soul realm and from their
body realm. Okay?
Now, how do we know that? Why is it important that we
identify? That Adam only operated in these
things? Because Romans chapter 8 tells
us how a Of God operates. How a Son of God operates, Adam
did operate this way, but he fell from operating this way.
Look what it says here in Romans 14 8:14 and then we'll jump down
to verse 16. He says, for all who are being
led by the spirit of God being led by, what the spirit of God,
these are the sons of God for all who are being what led by,
how they feel. How many believers do not show
up to church on a Sunday? I'm just giving one natural
example. Okay, we have a scripture,
Hebrews 10:25, do not forsake the assembling of yourselves
together as is the habit of some.
As you see the day Drawing Near do not is that the word of God
is Hebrews part of the Bible? I mean, do we use that verse?
Should we use that verse? Shall we act on that verse would
that verse Demonstrate. We love.
God do not forsake. The assembling of yourselves
together as is the habit of some.
All the more as you see the day Drawing Near yet, how many
Believers and maybe even in this room that you have woke up on a
Sunday and your body said You're tired.
You should just stay in today. You know, God loves you and you
don't have to do this, religious exercise of going to church all
the time. So you can be led by your body.
And be justified before God or how about this one?
I'm just not feeling like it today.
I mean, you're not tired. You have 12 hours to sleep.
I mean, you've done absolutely nothing.
All weekend then laying around the house.
I mean, you're almost bored out your mind but you just not
feeling it. Okay, everybody wants real
preach until you preach real. That's okay.
That's all right. I'm fine.
Amen. No.
He says those who are led by well, what would the Holy Ghost?
Say on a day that he knows he's asked the overseer of the Nobody
Church to assemble the Saints, so that he could instruct them
from Heaven, through the gift of Pastor, so that they can be
equipped to do something in the planet.
What would the Holy Ghost? Say on that day, that just stay
in. Verse 16.
Look at verse 16, the spirit himself.
Testifies, with our spirit, that we are what the spirit himself.
Testifies with, our not with our soul.
Which tells me the Holy Spirit. Does not say well, how are you
feeling today? Oh, you don't want to Scott,
he's got me thinking, right? Pastor.
You didn't even ask me how I felt.
There's a holy spirit. Ask you how you feel.
So, how does that make you feel? Right?
You've seen this in and TV parodies and you sit down and
the psychiatrist is chair to counselor and talking to you and
give you a list of questions. So, and how does that make you
feel? And how does that make you feel?
You know, you just need to get in touch with your.
I'll see you coach. You could, man, you can quote it
like a scripture. I don't know that the spirits
trying to get in touch with your feelings.
I don't see anywhere in scripture, where the Holy Ghost
says, I need to get in touch with their feelings.
I do know where the scripture says that Jesus was tempted on
all accounts. Like we were, which means he
dealt with the same feelings, we dealt with, but he never let
those feelings, dictate his actions.
He said, I only do what the father says, because his Spirit
has spoken to me, I'm glad that Jesus didn't have a self-help
program after he prayed in the garden.
Garden of Gethsemane and said, you know what?
I don't know. Father, let this cup pass.
Why weld about me. What about how I feel about
this? What about this?
Me taking on all, you know, they gonna beat me, you know, they
gonna Scourge me. You know, I'm not to carry that
cross. I mean, what about my help?
Where's my care? What about how I feel about
taking this cross on? It's a passerby you priest like
this, because there is a way to live in the spirit that we
rarely tap. We rarely tap, and God is like,
looking at his church and saying, get in the spirit.
Come on, get in the spirit church.
Get in the spirit church, get in the spirit.
This lets us know that when Adam ate the fruit, he could no
longer be God's child because the spirit could not testify
with his Spirit nor could he be led by it.
So, the true child of God is Led.
By the spirit. Now why is that important?
Look at John chapter 6, just setting the foundation here.
Okay, John 6:63. Not sure how far will go today.
But let's see where we're Lord takes us the spirit.
And Ivy says, the spirit gives so what gives life all of your
natural programs, your natural reading your natural eating, All
of your personal time alone. And meditation on nothingness.
Or nature for that matter. Sitting at the beach and
watching the oceans. Come in.
This is so relaxing can't give you life.
Can't give you a life. I said it cannot give you life.
The spirit gives life. What?
Gives life the spirit you can't find life naturally.
You can't find life emotionally mentally.
You can't find life. Can't find it.
I just need you to feed me. Positive words positives, words
will not give you life. Now listen, I just can't be
around all these. Because it doesn't feed my
space, you don't have space. And watch face.
You have has death because of it doesn't have Spirit, it doesn't
have life. Avoidance is not life.
Get away from it. All is not life.
I know, plenty of people who go on vacation because of the
stress of life. Trying to unwind only to not
unwind, but only continue to hope they could stay there
forever. Because when they come back,
they're not better. When they get back some are like
I need a vacation from my vacation.
Number one or the minute. They get back at least a
weekend. They're ready for another
vacation. Which tells me.
You got nothing while you were gone.
All you did was feed your flesh, a different way.
What you perceived you thought, if I do this, I'll feel better.
But there's only one way that rate that brings life.
The spirit gives life, the flesh counts for.
Nothing counts for what, nothing counts for nothing.
It counts for what? Nothing counts for.
What? Nothing.
If I'm not letting the spirit feed me, I'm getting nothing.
Look what he goes on to say. He says the words I have spoken
to you. They are full of the spirit and
life which tells me this that as a child of God, if I'm not in
the word and have a love relationship with God's word.
Then I am not feeding my spirit and the only life I am living is
a sole lead life. And a soul.
LED life is not life. A soul LED life is the same life
you came out of there's a way that seems right but in the end
lies. Amen.
Now, it's funny thing because the spit his words are spirit
and life. Why?
This is important? Hebrews 4:12 and I love the
passion translation of verse 12 and 13 because there's only one
place that can get your soul realm away from your spirit
Realm. It says for we have the Living
Word of God which is full of energy, like a to mouth sword,
it will even penetrate to the very core of our being where
Soul and Spirit bone and Marrow, meat, that is the threefold
nature, a man, Spirit soul and body.
I am a spirit, I have a soul and I live in a body.
And it's the word and only the word that can let you know
whether that is soulish leading or Spirit leading.
So, if you're not in the word, I can guarantee you, you are a
sole lead believer. Which is the same existence that
the loss live. And what's so horrible about
that statement is that you actually have a nature within
you to live differently. The world can't help it.
They have to be led. They are stuck being led by the
way, they feel the way. They are.
Our processing information based upon the accumulation of their
knowledge based upon the Paradigm of their thinking.
They can't change it. I said they can't change it.
Because they're stuck in a Thing Called Death.
They're separated from God's spirit and God's word, and
that's where life exists. And so, the combination of all
their decision-making is based upon what they naturally can do
with their body. And how they mentally are an
emotionally, feel about a situation.
And as a result of that, it governs, the way they act in
life, can't help it. But a person that's born of God,
their Spirit man has been made alive.
They become a new creature in Christ, and then the third
person of the godhead comes and lives on the inside of them and
identifies with their Spirit. Now, you're a child of God and
as a result of that, you have capacity to get your mind
together, your soul realm together, it doesn't have to
call the shots anymore, but it will always call the shots.
If you do, not place the word as an emphasis of your life, Coming
to church and not reading the word on your own guarantees, you
will live a so LED life. Guarantees and God never called
you to be led by your soul. All right, let's go on.
It says it will penetrate to the very core of our being where
Soul and Spirit bone and Marrow me, it interprets and reveals
the true thoughts and secret motives of our heart.
That's why most people don't want to read the word because
they don't want to get around their own thinking.
They don't have to change the way they feel about it.
They want the entitlement of heaven without the
responsibility of changing on the planet.
There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God.
Whoo, for nothing that we do remains a secret and nothing
created is concealed. Oh my goodness, but everything
is exposed. And defenseless before his eyes
to whom, we must render an account.
You know what I love about verse 13, so much.
Because typically, when we read that, you people have it in the
negative sense. Huh?
Oh my gosh, the Lord's. Just, you know, looking
everything I'm saying, you better Because you know what
he's doing, he's saying his faith.
There is Faith. There is Faith there.
What's their motive whilst our heart are?
They believe in me at board? And if they are, the Lord says,
I'm not a man that I should lie. That word has to come to pass in
that person's life because I know their thoughts.
I know their motive, I know they're being led by the spirit,
and I'm gonna bring that thing to pass in their life and not a
devil in hell, not a person on the planet.
Can stop it from coming to pass because ask my child being led
by mice. Spirit and my spirits going to
bring life to that situation. Because they're not moved by the
situation, they're feeling the circumstance, what's going on?
They're actually living contrary to the way everybody else does
because they're doing it by the spirit now and not by the soul.
All I, thank God that I could look to my father and say, you
know, I'm in faith. You know, I'm in faith.
I learned a lesson from Kenneth E Hagin when he was on the bed
of sickness, incurable heart disease.
He was going through the word, going through the word, going
through the word. Everybody had only one
destination for the man and it was death.
You're gonna die. It's a matter of time.
It's going to come. It's coming.
Just get ready. Get yourself ready is at least
you know? You're right with God it's
coming but somewhere along the line.
He began to realize Faith could do.
And he made this statement in prayer.
Once he said, Lord, if you said that, I didn't believe you.
I'd have to call you a liar and the Lord spoke to him.
Why? Because he was listening to his
Spirit and the Lord says you do believe, based upon what, you
know, which let him know as a young man there must be
something. I don't know that stopping a
result. And within a few months of that
particular prayer time with the father, he came across the
scripture again that said believe you receive When you
pray and he realized that it's not believing God can heal me is
believing. God has healed me that I'm
already healed. I'm not waiting on it.
Healing as far as God's concern I am.
And the minute that I thought from the spirit was revealed to
him and he says that's it, then the Lord immediately spoke to
him and said to him, well people who are well or not lying in the
bed in the afternoon. So in essence, he was saying if
you really believe it's done and you are, then why are you laying
in the bed? Now his body said you're laying
here cause you're paralyzed. From his waist down, he felt
nothing. Completely weak.
So, his body was still testified, you can't get out of
bed, you can't get out of bed. But his spirit said, his word
doesn't fail. So it says, I took my legs
brother and said he took his legs and threw him over off the
bed. And he said, they hit the floor,
like a sack of potatoes. And he grabbed, hold to the bed
post to hold onto himself. And in that action, everything
saying you're an idiot, his mind.
And he's emotions are saying you've blown it.
Now you're stuck. You're gonna die laying on the
floors that in the bed, but yet in that moment of Faith calling
those things that be not as though they were his Spirit man,
alive to the word and acting on that Spirit.
He said, all of a sudden something hit the top of my head
said something, hit me some heat power the Holy Ghost.
And he said in it with through my body and it was like knobs
like needle stabbing me and said it hurt so bad but it felt so
good because I couldn't feel anything before and all of a
sudden he was completely healed and walked out of the room.
Hallelujah. And from that, I said, Lord if
there's any time that I'm believing you.
Because I know you're a man that cannot lie.
You're not a man that you should lie and I'm believing.
I'll look at him if I don't see result.
I said, what don't I know right now?
Cause if you don't think I'm believing, I'd call you a liar.
I know that God is searching my heart and his spirit is life and
his word will cut my soul out of the equation.
My spirit man can't hear from heaven.
And I don't let my soul and you don't let your soul, dictate
your actions. Now, why is this important look
at John chapter 4. John chapter 4.
John chapter 4 who's speaking? Who's speaking say it loud?
Who's speaking? Jesus is talking, is Jesus, your
lord? I said, is Jesus your Lord?
Are you to obey Jesus in some things?
And how many things so should we obey him in this statement?
Should we obey him in the statement?
So our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ, who came to the
Earth died on the cross paid the way so that our sin could be
eradicated moved out of the way. So that we could become children
of God through his death. Burial and Resurrection are
King. Lord, Jesus said, but an hour is
coming and now is when And the who true worshippers, which
imply there's false ones. true worshipers will worship the
father how in spirit, not just in spirit, but and Truth for
such people. The father seeks to be his
worshipers. Now, what type of people do the
father seek to worship Him? Those who Worship in spirit and
truth. That's who he seeks.
Who's he seeking those who worship?
How in spirit and, in truth who did the qualification here?
Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Which tells me if you don't meet
this requirement dad's not running you down.
Okay. Quit trying to make the word fit
your feeling. Quit trying to make the word fit
your exception. Cause not today I'm not going to
go there in detail. but for many of you in some of your Solus
responses, God did something And you thought you were in the
spirit, but you were not and God did not do it because of your
soul. He did it because of the spirit
that operates from another place.
I'm proven scripture that God never responded to the Natural
Cry of man. and you read all about David saying, I cried out
to the Lord, but if you don't have context and you don't know
why, Is he responding to a cry or is he responding to his own
word? Man, we I've put God in a class
that we are allowing ourselves to live a soulish life.
And we've not even begin to tap the realm of a Spirit Led life.
The father, only seeks this type of worshiper who worships in
what spirit and Truth verse 12. 24.
God is God is what what is? God spirit and those who worship
Him. Those who worship Him could
maybe can possibly could on Sunday for sure. when you're in
a bad spot and everything's falling apart and you are an
emotional Frenzy, God is spirit and those who worship Him must
worship Him. How You cannot worship him
another way. It is impossible to worship God
from your soul. It's impossible to worship God
from your soul, your soul can get involved with your spirit,
but you cannot worship Him from your soul.
Your soul will have a reflection of some spiritual things but you
cannot worship Him from your soul.
And until you learn that. You will not tap into the deeper
things of God, even though you lie that you are. because when
you recognize tapping into the spirit, Then how my soul
responds will really be relevant, whether the response
in that moment, is this Elation of Joy or whether the response
In This Moment, is that I'm on my face and it's the presence of
God is so thick, it won't matter.
How I feel in that moment. Because the feeling of any
moment could be different and I'm okay with that because I
know I'm in the spirit, yet many only believe that they've
touched the Hem of God. When they feel away.
Oh, we had church today. I could feel the presence of
God. You may have never had church
today, your life. Because I didn't say that you
must worship this way. He said.
Jesus said, this is the only way you worship me.
Think about the word worship. The word worship means, it means
to bow to the will of another, in essence.
True worship is obeying. The one that's in supreme
authority, how do we know this? It's not singing, you know, we
have relegated worship to a song.
The slow ones. Praise is a fast one.
Right. That's why we call it praise and
worship, right? And so we relegated now worship
hell. I was just worshiping the Lord
this morning because you were singing a slow song.
No you weren't. Oh I was just crying out with
all my soul. So If what's happening in your
soul realm is not by the spirit, it's irrelevant.
Crying does not get God's attention.
Screaming does not get his attention.
Complaining, definitely does not get his attention.
How do we know this? Well, let me give an example.
God leads Israel out of Egypt, right?
We know that those people because just based upon
scripture, right? They can't even be born of the
spirit of God. So they are definitely living by
their soul Realm. Made all their decision.
By the way they feel. By the restrictions of their
physical ability period. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
So as a result of that, he takes them through the Red Sea, get
some Into the Wilderness. And what do they do?
Immediately three days in, what do they do?
What do they do? They complain because they are
hungry. I said they're hungry.
Okay. They're not wrong.
Be hungry, feel yourself. I get it.
So, the Lord does something. Now, why does he do it?
You think he's only doing it because they're complaining.
They're complaining prayer. Got God to answer.
Oh. See, that's the illusion.
That's the illusion. We do not understand training
our spirit. The Bible is very clear, I'll
just do it in a quick nutshell and then hopefully we'll come
back to it next week. The Bible says that when you're
born again, you become a babe in Christ.
Now, let's take natural babes when you naturally had a baby
came out of your womb. How did the baby?
Let you know, what was hungry? It cried, right?
And then you fed it and when you fed it, right?
You hear what I'm saying after you fed it.
He quit crying. There you go.
Everything's fine. No problem.
Okay, then when he gets hungry again, what's it do and why are
we doing this? Come on.
Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this?
Come on.
Why are we doing this? Because until they develop
words, There's a process. There's a process.
Bring me water. There's a process.
Hallelujah. I said there's a process.
God. Does for Israel because they
cried or because he said something before, the he ever
delivered them? Okay, this one is important to
read your Bible. So does he feed them bread, at
their complaint? Or does he feed them bread?
Because he spoke to a man called Abram and said I'm going to make
your seed like the Sands of the Sea and the stars of the sky and
they will multiply but yet they'll come a season that they
will be oppressed by nation and I'll pull them out.
Of that Nation. Who said this?
God said it, I'll pull him out of that nation and I'll bring
them back to the land. You're looking at this land
flowing with milk and honey. So did God answered their prayer
because of their soulish response or did he answer it
because he spoken because he's a, he's not a man that he should
lie and what he told Abram he's able to do over 400 something
years later. And we think us crying out from
our soul Realms getting response from God, will maybe someone was
praying and interceding in the spirit for you.
And actually touch God and your soul had nothing to do with that
answer prayer. But why did he give man in the
first place to feed them? I know you've read the
scripture. What's it say he said you know I
gave a man or bread so that I might teach them that man shall
not live on bread alone but out of come on.
But out of every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God
because my word is spirit and the spirit is life and I want to
connect with my people only one way.
There's only one way I can. And that is by the spirit.
Church houses are full of soulish worship and soulish
preaching, full of people being a tad in afire, With how you
feel. Well, I just need someone to
preach me. That knows how I feel.
So, you want to live less now? Because if all they can do is
identify with the way that you feel, then the best you can live
as a Pharisee, tzedakah lifestyle.
See, if all you do is live by your soul, you're going to
produce a religion. Adams, first Soul response was
to cover himself with leaves. This is why when Jesus showed up
started preaching, he said this repent.
You saw arounds jacked up. That's what he's saying.
Repent, change it change the way you think quit processing the
kingdom of God with your soul. Repent.
For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
It operates by the spirit. It operates by the spirit.
I said it operates by the spirit.
So they cried out because God gave a word to a man named Abram
that, I'll deliver them, bring them to this place because God
is acting on his word. I said he's acting on his work.
Let me say it this way. God did not send Jesus because
Humanity was crying out to God, to save him.
God sent Jesus because God said in Genesis chapter 32 Satan are
the serpent. I'm gonna send my seed through
the woman. So no matter how bad man, then I
Lord do something to help me. Help me Lord.
Then respond to that soul. He responded to his word, I said
he responded to his word, he responded to a cuz his word
spirit. And the spirit is life.
Hallelujah. Oh, I'm so thankful for the
spirit of God, because the spirit of God, so much more
powerful than natural happiness self-made.
Feelings of of, you know, feeling good about myself.
Shaking All Things based upon my conditions.
To get me in a place of Zen. I need a ride, a worry to letter
to YouTube and say quit, putting Xin moments on my YouTube TV.
Separation of church and state man-made.
Why you pushing your religion on me?
They can push every other religion, can't they?
But you start talking about Jesus.
That's another thing. But, you know, that's not the
only time the other the Israelites Cried Out, is it they
cried out another Tom, they said or tired.
I just bread. We want some meat.
Well, did God respond to that? Well, how did that end?
They were dead. That prayer killed them.
That tells us if I continue to engage God soulish lie and do
not learn how to go after him spiritually.
I'm gonna things are going to die my life.
Wow. Aren't you glad you're saved?
Let me end with this scripture and I'll save the rest for Next
week, I think there's enough right now.
I don't need to go any further. Hallelujah.
I'm looking at how full this place is.
I'll see how full it is next week.
Let me just throw it out there unless you are serving somewhere
in the church other than in here, and you're not here.
Other than those that I know are on vacation right now.
If you're on vacation, you might want to send me e-mail.
I'm gonna know you listen to your soul and didn't come to
church. Galatians 5:25 says, if we live
by the spirit, I said if we live by the spirit, let us also what?
Walk by the spirit. You know, how quick Believers
are? I've asked you to come to my
heart? Save me yet.
They live by the soil. They walked by it.
They are alive by the spirit but they walk by the soul.
They live by the spirit but they lost the wall by the sport Soul.
We were only led by the soul in our separation from God.
The minute were born again. That doesn't meet make us
perficient in our soul realm. It gives us capacity to develop
our soul realm to renew our mind, so that it will side with
the spirit. And yield to the spirit and not
taking account, just our five senses.
But to be able to go and say, what does he say?
Because God is not a man that he should lie, and whatever he says
is going to come to pass. Amen.
And God has spoken enough General things.
That the reason why a lot of stuff happening for our lives is
because he's made some statements openly like no weapon
formed against the church will prosper which means some of you
are living a sole lead life but because God said that they
wouldn't prosper in the church and you're technically in the
church then its ability to prosper against you becomes more
limiting. Not because you're crying out
from your soul. But because Well, not lie
against his word. And he needs you to get out of
the soul and begin to dictate the spirit because the minute
you begin to dictate the spirit, your life will go to a whole
nother level because God's, he'll start running you down.
He'll run you down. He'll be looking for you.
I mean how could I stay home on
the day? He's called meet assembly.
When he's looking for me, he's looking for me.
He says he seeks those who worship Him in spirit and Truth.
Which means God, the father was more excited about me being in
church today than I was. He was more Jack that I showed
up his child. Because he knows the power of
his word and the power of His spirit.
Being led by the spirit and being pressured by spirits in
the spirit realm or two different things.
Because pressure from the spirit realm, according to Ephesians,
6, principalities and powers, and spiritual rulers, and dark.
Darkness will always be an attempt to appeal to your soul.
Today, we need to make a decision.
I'm done with living according to how I feel.
I'm going to grow to live by the spirit and walk by I feel like I
want to get married. I don't care how you feel.
Well, you know, the scripture says not good for man to be
alone. I understand that and guess
what? Mammals along till God brought
So might be better for you to stay alone till give God brings
quit looking. Just worship Him in spirit and
in truth, because he tells us that it will seek first, his
kingdom, and his righteousness, and all the things that the
Gentiles seek. So, why you looking for a wife,
why you looking for a husband? Why don't you just look to
Jesus? And then when they show up,
you'll know not by feeling, but by the spirit, And you don't
have to go tell them the Lord told me, you were going to be my
wife. Hallelujah.
Now, you listen to the wrong Spirit realm.
Don't put pressure on people, just sit back at a come.
People make relationships, so complicated.
But they are complicated in the soul.
Their mess in the soul. They're ooh and ah, in the
beginning and then there's running and screaming.
Somebody comes and mine's all the resources and then goes on
down the road. Yep.
Got to make a decision that God's not how you feel.
God's spirit. And if God's spirit, then he's
not touched by the emotions of, man.
He's moved by his word and God has said enough in scripture to
handle every situation that no matter how soulless you are.
He's not answering it. Because of that.
He's only answering according to his word and the quicker.
We learn his word and learn. Oh, learn to tap into that.
Then the quicker, we'll overcome and every situation of life.
And our soul will have to get in alignment with the spirit.
And whatever that feels is whatever it needs to feel.
