1 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,040 Turn over to 1st John chapter four, First John chapter 4, 2 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,160 Hallelujah, say 7. All right, First John chapter 4, 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,880 verse. First John chapter 4, verse one. 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,280 We'll read just the first part of this verse, and then we'll 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,000 jump down to verse four. It says this, beloved, do not 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,760 believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they 7 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,080 are from God. Do not believe every spirit, 8 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120 every spirit, which means there's more than one spirit. 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,600 Now there's only one Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God, but there 10 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,200 are other spirits. In fact, we are a spirit. 11 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,080 We are a spirit. Inside us is our makeup, who we 12 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,680 are are our origination. In order to know who we are, you 13 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,640 have to go to Genesis 126 that said then God said, let us make 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440 man in our image according to our likeness and let them have 15 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,600 dominion over the fish, to see the birds of the sky, over all 16 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200 the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing 17 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,600 that creeps on the earth. So he so God made man and male 18 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,320 and female in his image to be able to have him function in the 19 00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,160 dominion. You go to chapter 2. 20 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360 It says he formed man out of the dust of the earth, and then he 21 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,800 breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. 22 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,960 So man is a spirit, and that spirit has a soul attached to 23 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,320 it, and it's within a body. Now, again, we separate these 24 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,840 for the sake of teaching, but they're functioning together, 25 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,440 OK? They are separate elements, but 26 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480 yet they're especially the soul and the spirit. 27 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,240 They're so intertwined. And again, you're not to be 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,840 absent from the body. When we see this in Scripture, 29 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,440 we're just saying that this particular earth suit we can be 30 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600 absent from. But you understand, we have 31 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,240 another body. We are going to, it's called a 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760 glorified body. So every spiritual being has a 33 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,760 body, all right, They has a body. 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,560 Angels have a body. Cherifem have bodies. 35 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,520 Our sheriff from have body cherubims sheriffims, you know 36 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,240 of those angels, right, Seraphims, that's what kind of 37 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,680 rhyming right now anyway, the S class of created beings, the C 38 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Class of created beings and then the angels. 39 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,760 All right, God himself has a body. 40 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,400 If you remember in Scripture Moses said, Lord, I want to see 41 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,600 your glory and God is spirit. He said I want to see your 42 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,520 glory. He says no man can look at me, 43 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000 cannot do it, they'll die. But it's what I'll do. 44 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200 I'm going to, I'm going to hide you in the cleft of the rock. 45 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,080 I'm going to put my hand on you. I'm going to pass by and then 46 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480 remove my hand and you can see my back parts. 47 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Well, if God didn't have a body, you couldn't see his back. 48 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,920 OK, but he's still a spiritual being. 49 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,680 We are breathed by God. Our existence came into being 50 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,760 not because God said let there be and there was. 51 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,360 God said let's make man. He spoke animals, He spoke 52 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,360 plants, He spoke all other in the earth creation. 53 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,440 But when it came to us, he said he they're going to be like me, 54 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,400 they're going to be of my nature. 55 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,800 So he had to breathe. So from his spirit became our 56 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,280 spirit. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:58,480 And so we are a spirit being. Angels are OK, but it tells us 58 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,720 to test every spirit. OK, but to test the spirits, 59 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,400 because not everything being spoken comes from the Lord. 60 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Which means when Jesus publicly preached for the first time, His 61 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,800 first words were not where are you going to go when you die? 62 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,200 His first words were not You must believe that I died on the 63 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,960 cross and rose from the dead and asked me to be your Savior. 64 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,640 That was not His public ministry. 65 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,240 His first public message was this word Repent for the Kingdom 66 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,760 of heaven is at hand. Repent is not a religious word. 67 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,400 It means change your thinking. And he is saying that what 68 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,160 you're hearing is not accurate information. 69 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,600 It is not exactly how God intended things. 70 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,640 And if you're going to, if you're going to have access or 71 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,000 you're going to walk into or be a part of the Kingdom, then 72 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,040 you're going to have to change the way you think. 73 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:14,120 So we are conditioned prior to being born again to hear other 74 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:21,200 spirits. And we know their voice, I said. 75 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:27,280 We know their voice and their voice always causes us to side 76 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,360 with the flesh. It moves us down the road that 77 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,160 brings death and destruction and keeps us separated from the plan 78 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,400 and purpose of God. But Jesus said you can change 79 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,720 your thinking now. You're going to be able to 80 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080 change your thinking now. So when Adam was made in the 81 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720 image of God, he was created to have dominion. 82 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800 He said, Adam, you can eat from any tree of the garb, but of the 83 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,920 tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 84 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,400 You shall not eat for the day, for the day, save the day for 85 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,200 the day you eat, you will. Surely you're going to what? 86 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,160 So we say this and it bears repeating because we have guests 87 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,320 today and we're trying to help get you out of religion. 88 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,240 If Adam had never eaten the fruit, where would he be today? 89 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,360 He would be here on the earth, which tells us Adam was not 90 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,920 trying to go to heaven because heaven always came here. 91 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 In essence, heaven is not the goal anyway. 92 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,160 The goal is to be with God. The goal is to be with God and 93 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,040 born of God. That's the goal. 94 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,800 So if God wants to take me to Mars, I'll go to Mars with him. 95 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,360 If he wants to take me to the furthest Galaxy, I'll go there. 96 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,400 I am not sold out on only going to heaven. 97 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,040 Now will I go? Sure, cause again, because man 98 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,680 fell because Adam did disobey God, because he did eat the 99 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,880 fruit and sin enter the world and and and and humanity was cut 100 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,080 off from God and now Adam C produced after its own kind, 101 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,360 which was death, destruction, separated from God. 102 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,840 We now will die and leave this earth suit. 103 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,000 And so to leave it we are if you're born of God, you'll be 104 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,080 present with him. If you're not born of God, 105 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,040 you'll be eternally separated from him eventually to be thrown 106 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,800 into the lake of fire. You'll go to a holding cell, and 107 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960 it's not pretty, but it's not the end. 108 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,040 Remember, the rich man lifted up his eyes and he was in great 109 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,760 torment, and he saw Abraham on the other side. 110 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Now Abraham's not on that side anymore, but at the time Abraham 111 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,640 was on the other side and he saw Lazarus, who used to be one of 112 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,160 his servants, in Abraham's arms, his bosom. 113 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,000 OK, This is what's called paradise. 114 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Jesus refers to paradise on the cross. 115 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,720 He looks to the one thief and he says, today you'll be with me in 116 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680 paradise. Paradise is not heaven. 117 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Paradise is not heaven. Paradise was a grave 118 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560 compartment. It was it was part of the grave. 119 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,720 It was part of a Chamber of death and it was holding the 120 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,600 righteous dead, meaning those who believed that the Christ 121 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,160 would come, they were in faith of a day where they could be 122 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,400 redeemed. Even though they have gone on 123 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,600 and their voice and their being is off the planet, they were 124 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,840 still in a place awaiting the King. 125 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,760 And so that rich man looks up and he says, could you have 126 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,000 Lazarus come over here and dip his finger in some water and put 127 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,960 it on my tongue? I'm in great torment. 128 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,520 It's holding tank, holding cell. And Abraham says there's a great 129 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,320 chasm. Fix that abyss between me and 130 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,080 you. We can't go over there. 131 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,160 You can't go over here. The choices of your life have 132 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,000 sealed where you're at right now, and so they are still in 133 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,320 that place of torment, only to be resurrected from it. 134 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,080 Now what do I mean resurrected? In the end, the Bible says that 135 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:24,400 the grave will give up the dead. In essence, it's their trial 136 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,200 date. And the great king of, oh, the 137 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,520 Ancient of Days, the Bible calls him as he sits on his throne in 138 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,880 heaven and Jesus Christ sits at his right hand. 139 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,280 The grave will give up the dead and the dead will come to the 140 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640 throne room. We call it the great white 141 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:52,440 throne judgment. They will see a place they could 142 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640 have participated in. Oh, y'all don't want to hear 143 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,520 this? I mean, it's one thing to live 144 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,000 life like you want to down here and then go to a place of 145 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,840 torment. It's another thing to leave 146 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,240 torment and go before the presence of God and all they 147 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,720 could have participated with, only to hear these words depart 148 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,120 from me. I never knew you. 149 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Your name is not in the book. You chose to stay out of the 150 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840 book. You chose to reject me as Lord. 151 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840 You chose to denounce me as your King. 152 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:36,240 So you receive what you want, and that's eternal separation. 153 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,280 And the lake of fire will open its mouth and they will receive 154 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:47,800 all the dead, and they will be in that place for eternity where 155 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:54,520 there's torment, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and they go 156 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,800 by choice. Anytime you hear someone say, 157 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,320 how could a loving God send someone to hell, say he doesn't. 158 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,480 They want to go. Well, nobody wants to go. 159 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,520 Well, if you don't accept Jesus Christ as Lord, you want to go, 160 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,160 well, I don't believe that. You want to go and there you go. 161 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,480 You want to go. Well I don't think it's the only 162 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,040 way you want to go. Jesus said I'm the way, the 163 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,960 truth and the life. No man comes through the Father 164 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120 but through me. You want to go. 165 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 This is not a Jesus problem. This is not a God the Father 166 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,240 problem. This is not a Holy Ghost drawing 167 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,720 you problem. This is you do not want to 168 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,160 submit to the lordship of Jesus. You want to go to hell. 169 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,760 You want to go Now. You may be in deception right 170 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,360 now, and many are and they get out of it, but some they are 171 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,200 not. They harden their heart. 172 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560 They do not want to go. They are not going to go. 173 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,520 And they're going to find out that it was wrong. 174 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,760 And they even kind of, you know, run around and say I'm going to 175 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,800 run hell one day. No, you're not. 176 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280 No, you won't run it. The devil's not running in 177 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,120 either because hell is not the devil's. 178 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,840 We portray hell like it's the devil's place. 179 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,880 The devil's not in hell. That's not his base camp. 180 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,760 That's not where his headquarters is. 181 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,040 Hell or the lake of fire. Is God the Father's prison 182 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,920 system in his Kingdom? It's his prison system. 183 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,120 Are you hearing what I'm saying? So there are other spirits out 184 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,000 there that are speaking, but we have the Holy Spirit. 185 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,560 When man fell from dominion, the spirit of God that was attached 186 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:38,160 to man had to leave. Because you cannot have the 187 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000 spirit. A Holy Spirit or holy God 188 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,120 attached to a corrupt spirit will not happen. 189 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200 But God say, but God say but God. 190 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,720 But God, being rich in His mercy, had a plan because he's 191 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,200 obligated to His Word. The minute the Father said, let 192 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,040 us make man our image. If man fails to do what he says, 193 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,920 he still is going to provide a way so that man can be in the 194 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,640 position. He declares. 195 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,480 No one will ever stand before the Lord and say, I couldn't get 196 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:16,560 there. We can't blame Adam, right? 197 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,480 Well, it's Adam, so I'm in sickles. 198 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,400 Adam can't blame Adam. Jesus paid the price. 199 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,640 Jesus took on the sin Adam brought and all of us have 200 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,000 committed on our own free will. So Jesus provided the way so 201 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,640 that we could come back into the Kingdom to walk into life like 202 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,160 we were always destined to walk into and to not experience 203 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,120 death. OK, but when he he came so that 204 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,440 we could have life and life more abundantly, He did not come just 205 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,600 to change us to the point that we're going to live any old way 206 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,120 we want to down here. And the goal is to go to heaven. 207 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,160 That's not what he did. He came to change us so that we 208 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,480 can become a child of God. Now we can become a son of a 209 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,480 king now we can walk in our authority and kingship now. 210 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360 And more importantly, he puts his spirit back in us. 211 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760 So in this first John chapter 4, when it says this, beloved, do 212 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,240 not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether 213 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,800 they are from God. Do you understand? 214 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,040 The Holy Spirit may not be the only spirit talking to you. 215 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:33,040 In fact, I'll submit to you. He is not, however, And the ones 216 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,440 that speak to you more often will be demonic spirits, the 217 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,880 spirits of the world. A spirit of fear, spirit of fear 218 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,200 is talking to the church all the time, talking to believers all 219 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,880 the time. A spirit of lack is always 220 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,320 talking. The spirit of infirmity talks to 221 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,440 believers all the time about their sickness, and they're in 222 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,360 They're sick, and God is not necessarily here to heal them. 223 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,000 In fact, the spirit of infirmity will tell you that God is 224 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,600 putting it on you to teach you something. 225 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240 Well, if that's the case, then you should never go to a doctor 226 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,960 until you learn what He's teaching you. 227 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,080 But it's not a true statement. It's called deception. 228 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120 It's to keep you in a state of weakness and not in the 229 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,520 empowering place you were supposed to be. 230 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,200 Angels can talk to us. They are spirits. 231 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,720 However, we are not looking to angels to receive instruction. 232 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,320 We're not trying to follow angels. 233 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,600 We are not to do that. But God can use them to speak to 234 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,960 us. And again, we've said this in 235 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,480 our series on angels, just so you understand. 236 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,280 If someone ever comes up and says, oh, I saw an Angel say big 237 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,240 deal, so have I. And if you're a person that 238 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,960 says, well, wait a minute, no, I've never seen one. 239 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Well, the Bible says that we entertain angels unaware, that 240 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,440 when we do things to strangers that we don't know that we've 241 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,480 entertained angels unaware. Probably everyone in this room 242 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,840 has actually seen an Angel, you just were unaware of it at the 243 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,880 time. So when people try to get you to 244 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,280 follow them because they saw an Angel, they're trying to put on 245 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,960 this perception that they're more spiritual and in tune with 246 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,760 the spirit world. So they really want you to come 247 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,480 seek them for the advice. In essence, they want to be the 248 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,040 Jesus of your life. The go between to hear the 249 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,360 Father for your life. Man, you need that's a red flag. 250 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,040 Beware, beware, beware. Now, that doesn't mean someone 251 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,280 can't, God can't use someone to speak to you on behalf of God, 252 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,120 but they're not seeking you to follow them. 253 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,800 They're not seeking you that if you need a word from God, come 254 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400 see me. And you should never go to 255 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,080 someone and say I need a word from God. 256 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,320 You should go to God. Just go to God, right? 257 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,000 You said, well, I have a hard time understanding. 258 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Well, the only reason you have a hard time understanding what God 259 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,119 says is because you're not in the Word, because the Word is 260 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880 the voice of God. And if you want to train 261 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,520 yourself to hear the Spirit of God, then be in Scripture, read 262 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,640 the Bible cover to cover every year, be in it, listen to it, be 263 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,800 in the Pauline epistles and understand what's the in this 264 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,920 covenant for the church. And you'll hear the Spirit of 265 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,400 God because it will only speak what the Word is speaking. 266 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,640 Amen. This is not hard, but it does 267 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,560 require discipline. I said it does require 268 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320 discipline. Then verse four says you are 269 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,160 from God, little children, and have overcome them because 270 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,120 greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 271 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,680 That tells us you have the reigning Spirit. 272 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320 Come on, you have the reigning spirit. 273 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,200 Do I need to remind you this year, 2024, we're talking about 274 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,600 the reigning spirit. We have to remind ourselves that 275 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,440 the Spirit we have, which is the Holy Spirit, he is the reigning 276 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:08,560 Spirit. He reigns, He rules, He submits 277 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,160 only to Jesus and Jesus submits to the Father. 278 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,800 But they are three and one. They are always in agreement. 279 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:23,880 But any other spirit, the Holy Spirit does not yield to, I said 280 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,760 does not yield to. So we have the Holy Spirit 281 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,960 because greater is he that is in you than he that's in the world. 282 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:40,280 Hallelujah. I perceive in my spirit right 283 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,960 now that this verse means very little to you because you've 284 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,800 heard it so much. You know, we can hear certain 285 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,680 scriptures so much that we don't really have a revelation 286 00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:09,430 response. The greater one is in you, the 287 00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:18,000 greater one is in you. You house, the third person of 288 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,240 the Godhead. In you is the power that created 289 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,320 the heavens and the earth. In you is the one that was 290 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,800 hovering over the face of the deep, waiting for the Word. 291 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,040 In you is the greater one then the one that's in the world. 292 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,640 In you is waiting for the voice of the king to give a decree. 293 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:52,240 In you is the power of all creation, and is waiting for the 294 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:58,960 voice of the king to speak the name and it He moves, he moves 295 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,680 and he performs and he does. He's in you. 296 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,600 He's in you, he's in you the flesh try to run me down on the 297 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,720 track. Whoa, glory to God. 298 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,640 I just kick in another gear by the spirit can't do it. 299 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,200 The greater one don't even don't even don't embarrass yourself, 300 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,520 Satan or flesh to try to run me down. 301 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,040 Don't even embarrass yourself because if I even sniff that 302 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:40,000 you're trying to show up out, kick in another gear, I'll 303 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,440 continue to separate from you cause the greater one. 304 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,960 But the minute you lose that revelation, then you'll see 305 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,040 yourself common. Come on. 306 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,440 Yeah, come on. I mean, we almost put that 307 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,160 scripture back up. We almost treat this Scripture 308 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,800 like it's cliche, like it's a cliche statement. 309 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,520 Well, the greater one lives in me. 310 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,440 But then why are you acting so defeated today? 311 00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:10,560 Why are you complaining today? Why are you talking about your 312 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:16,080 sickness so much? Why are you saying you can't go 313 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,640 to a school and pray? Because the greater want to take 314 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,920 you there and the greater one has already endued you with 315 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,840 power. My gosh. 316 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Amen. Y'all be seated. 317 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,320 Thank you, Revelation chapter one. 318 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,480 I want to talk to you about this reigning spirit. 319 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040 This was one of the things that I knew I needed to deal with 320 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,480 this year. When it comes to this spirit, 321 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,360 many don't read Revelations because they're afraid of it. 322 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,960 And I'm going to be honest with you, if you have this thought, 323 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,920 I'm going to say something to provoke you. 324 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,520 It's intentional. Do not get offended by it, but 325 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,760 it's definitely there to provoke you. 326 00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:58,920 You have this thought. Well, I don't really deal with 327 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,880 Revelations because it's too complicated and I don't really 328 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,080 because God's going to take care of the rest in the end. 329 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,920 I don't worry about it. He's going to do what He's going 330 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,680 to do. That is ignorant speaking. 331 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,880 We need to know and we have the Holy Spirit in US who is a 332 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,880 teacher and he knows all truth and he's not withholding you 333 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,600 revelation. That is another spirit telling 334 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:30,880 you don't try to learn revelations because they the 335 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,200 enemy can always win against a believer when he keeps you in 336 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,480 ignorance. And if you if you have willful 337 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,080 ignorance because you do not want to discipline yourself to 338 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:50,400 seek, then that's why you lose. I mean, again, that's like me 339 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:59,240 going to the Paris and be a walk on right for the 100 meter, the 340 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,960 fastest man in the world stuff, right? 341 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,280 These guys are running nine second things, 100 meters, and I 342 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:24,320 get up there, right? Shit. 343 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,040 Now I shoot out all. I shoot off, right? 344 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,160 How many believe I'm going to smoke them all? 345 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:40,480 Yeah, that's what I thought. Now, here's the thing. 346 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,400 That's all you got to do. Thank you. 347 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,280 That's all you got to do. Just get in the race. 348 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,320 Sure. No training required. 349 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,000 Let me tell you what's going to happen within the 1st 10 steps 350 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,040 if I do not pull a hamstring, if I'm fortunate enough not to do 351 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,080 that. OK, It's going to be obvious who 352 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:08,200 is not trained for this event. It's going to be obvious. 353 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,280 Well, who's that guy? He's never, he's never trained 354 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,160 now. I mean, I can. 355 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,560 I mean, I've watched enough. I've watched enough. 356 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,800 You know those few little Mamas, y'all have seen them do that. 357 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,360 But I definitely am not stretched out. 358 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,480 That ain't happened. I mean, there's no way. 359 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,920 And yet we as believers want to be willfully ignorant and think 360 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,480 we can get in the race and win. Like, and because here's what we 361 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,640 do, we want this fantasy. Well, I'm just going to get the 362 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,920 Holy Ghost come upon me. And he, the Holy Ghost is there 363 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:50,480 to make what you've already trained even greater. 364 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,400 The Holy Ghost was never to be the absence of your training, 365 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:02,480 but it was always to cause what you already are in to even be 366 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,360 greater than what it already is. It doesn't relieve us from 367 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:12,840 responsibility. In fact, it guarantees that we 368 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,400 are to train so that we are the most fit. 369 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,760 Because if you're not trained, you've given the Holy Ghost 370 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,720 nothing to work with. Now, he may speak to your spirit 371 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,520 and say, yeah, when you die, you're going to go to heaven, 372 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,480 but that's not all. That's not the plan. 373 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920 That's not what God the Father intended. 374 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,160 That's not why Jesus Christ died. 375 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,200 He's going to speak to you about other things that you're 376 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,760 supposed to do. I want to remind you of some 377 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,480 things, but you don't have anything in you to remind. 378 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,160 I want to perform some supernat, but you're not listening and 379 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,720 going to the places and doing the things I'm asking you to do 380 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,200 so that I can do more through you. 381 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:01,360 So training has to happen. All right, so in John Chapter 7, 382 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,480 we're going to read our revelation. 383 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,880 We must be people who are not afraid of books in the Bible. 384 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,760 And there are things in the Bible that makes us go, yeah, 385 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840 you know what? I think if there's ever a time 386 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,640 on the planet to get some answers to the, it's now because 387 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,280 the King's coming and he's not withholding truths from us. 388 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,040 He has truths for us that he freely will give as we seek him. 389 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,840 He does not give it to the casual listener. 390 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,040 In fact, right now, the things God says he's just because 391 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,960 you're hearing me doesn't mean you're hearing me, because 392 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,640 Jesus, who is the King, was on the planet, would say he who has 393 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,400 ears, let him hear. Well, was the crowd without 394 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,800 ears? Obviously that's not true. 395 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,240 Was the whole crowd hearing impaired? 396 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,800 That wasn't true physically, but were they hearing impaired 397 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,680 spiritually? Yes, and it was based upon their 398 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,800 hunger to know God. So you can be here and I can say 399 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,680 something that the person beside you goes, glory to God because 400 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,320 they're hungry and you're like, what's their deal? 401 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,120 So the only thing you're hungry for is what restaurants you're 402 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:20,280 going to after service today. And if I get geared up, no one 403 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,200 will be there when you get there because at 2:00, very few people 404 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640 are there. Just kidding, I'm not going that 405 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,720 long today. Today. 406 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,960 All right, Revelations 1, Revelation chapter one, verse 4 407 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,200 through 6. Look what it says. 408 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,040 John to the seven churches that are in Asia, grace to you, and 409 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,640 peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from 410 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,040 the what? 7 spirits who are before his 411 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,480 throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first 412 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,520 born of the dead, and the ruler of what? 413 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:03,240 The kings of the earth, the kings of the not heaven, not 414 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,200 heaven, the kings of Who are those kings? 415 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,880 Come on, who are those kings? We are to Him who loves us and 416 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:20,000 released us from our sins by His blood, and He has made us to be 417 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,560 a Kingdom priest to His God and Father. 418 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,120 To Him be the glory and the dominion, forever and ever. 419 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,200 Amen. So we see here in Revelations 420 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:37,400 1/4 that there are 7 spirits before the before His throne. 421 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480 Look at Revelation chapter 3 verse one, Revelation chapter 3 422 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880 verse one as Paul's writing to the church, this particular 423 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,440 church, he said the Angel of the church. 424 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,840 Now again, if you see scripture, they tell you what they are the 425 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,560 angels, OK? Are the messengers, are the 426 00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,960 pastors of the church, the candle sticks or stands? 427 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:07,040 Are the churches themselves OK? So he holds the candles, you 428 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,440 know, sticks in his hand, and then he has the the stars, which 429 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,720 are the angels of the churches, and angels means messenger. 430 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,920 So he says you go talk to the pastors of these particular 431 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,800 churches and notice they were all his churches. 432 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:31,120 But Jesus in grace was rebuking quite a few of them. 433 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,960 In fact, more he was correcting now. 434 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,560 He had something good to say to all of them but one but one but 435 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,240 all of them, he had something good to say. 436 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,560 He bled with it. Being positive, going to be 437 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800 positive to you, you know, let's go talk to the patch. 438 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600 Tell him I like what they're doing here, but then tell them 439 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,400 they're going to have to fix this, right? 440 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,760 There's only one church that was not a fixed issue. 441 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,960 It was just accolades, and that's the Church of 442 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,280 Philadelphia. OK. 443 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840 There's another one that he didn't have really a negative. 444 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,720 He was just warning them of a season of trial that was coming. 445 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,320 OK. One he was really upset about 446 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:17,280 and he communicates to full five very specifically that if they 447 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,240 do not repent or change they would he would take their 448 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,920 candle. Which means an essay saying 449 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,200 you're not my church. Oh y'all don't want to hear 450 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:31,240 this? See we assume just because on 451 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,320 the building it says church that it is an authorized one. 452 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,920 But it may not even be authorized. 453 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,600 It may be a man's church, but it's not Jesus Christ's church. 454 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,680 And Jesus lets us know in Revelation every church that is 455 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,240 mine. I'm examining them. 456 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,560 And if they don't stay listening to my voice because I'm Lord, 457 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,200 because that's my church, my church would obey my voice. 458 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040 And if they don't obey my voice and repent and do the things 459 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,800 that I'm telling them to do, then I'll pull my candle. 460 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,720 In essence, it's your church, not mine. 461 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:06,800 I'll go on down the road and we'll start another one though. 462 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,400 To the Angel of the church he writes, he who has seven spirits 463 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:19,040 of God and the seven stars says this, I know your deeds and that 464 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,520 you have a name, that you are alive, but you are dead. 465 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,320 Did you hear that? He tells this church. 466 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,000 Well, the community says you're alive. 467 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,040 The people within your church say you're alive. 468 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,920 I just happen to know you did. Wow. 469 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,800 Listen, this is actually in the earth today. 470 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:59,600 This church actually existed. So it's possible to be in a 471 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,120 church that is self-proclaimed alive. 472 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,480 It is possible to discern whether that's a true statement 473 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,880 or not when you attend to church. 474 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,440 All right, but notice again 7 spirits of God. 475 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,920 Now look at Revelation chapter 5, verse six. 476 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,640 He said. I saw between the throne with 477 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,960 the four living creatures, the elders of a lamb standing as if 478 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,320 slain, and this lamb that was standing as if slain, having 479 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,640 seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of 480 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:46,720 God sent out into all the earth. Now in the Bible 7 is a number 481 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,400 of completion, OK? It means completion. 482 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,520 So throughout Scripture, based upon the Scripture here, you 483 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,400 need to understand that eyes suggests knowledge and wisdom, 484 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,840 and horns suggest power. If we spent a little more time 485 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,560 in Revelation, we'll see a beast going to come up. 486 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,720 It has 10 horns. Those are nations, Those are 487 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,600 powers. OK, so again, this lamb that was 488 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,880 slain has seven eyes, which is the perfection, right? 489 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,320 So this Lamb has knowledge, wisdom, power, fulfilled 490 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:28,120 perfectly. So it's wisdom is perfect and 491 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:33,400 it's power is perfect. So when it says he has seven 492 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,240 horns, seven eyes, it's communicating the perfection of 493 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,880 his power and of his wisdom and knowledge. 494 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,800 And would we disagree that Jesus Christ is perfect when it comes 495 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,360 to wisdom and knowledge and perfect in power? 496 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,160 Is He perfect in power? Who is the king of all the 497 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,440 earth? Jesus, whose name is above every 498 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,920 name Jesus. OK, so he has perfect power. 499 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,280 He is the completion of power. He is the completion of all rule 500 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:16,679 and all the Bible says will bow down and acknowledge Him as Lord 501 00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,719 is not a religious word. It means supreme and authority. 502 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,199 All will bow down to Jesus. Everyone. 503 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,040 There's only one being that does not. 504 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,360 It's the Father because Jesus Christ the Son is submitted to 505 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,560 the Dad. Are you hearing me? 506 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,400 But all other creation is going to be submitted to Jesus, even 507 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,080 if you rejected him. So all who are cast into the 508 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,040 lake of fire will perform this act. 509 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,080 You are Lord. They'll say it out of their 510 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:03,320 mouth, but it'd be too late for it for it to be a benefit to 511 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:10,680 them. It'll be a benefit to them. 512 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,600 So it says the seven spirits of God. 513 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,720 Well, there's seven. Well, seven is completion. 514 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,480 So when we say the seven spirits, and though it's plural, 515 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,360 it would be plural because when you add a larger number in front 516 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:30,120 of a noun, OK, because you're just, you're basically 517 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,040 describing a quantity. You would plural make it plural. 518 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,960 OK, but we're not really talking about seven different spirits as 519 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:46,760 an entity. In fact, John is referring to a 520 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:54,000 prophecy that Isaiah spoke of. Now we know this prophecy of 521 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,560 Isaiah. Isaiah Chapter 9 starting in 522 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,360 verse six, right? Isaiah Chapter 9, starting in 523 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,440 verse six, says a child will be born. 524 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:05,520 A son will be given notice, a child's born, not a son's born. 525 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,080 And the reason why the son's not born is because the Son always 526 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,000 existed, because the Son is the Son of God and we call him 527 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,440 Jesus. All right, a child is born. 528 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,600 And the reason a child has to be born is because God gave the 529 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,840 earth to man, so it requires a man to get it back. 530 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040 Dominion over the earth was assigned to man. 531 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,680 So in order for man to have an opportunity to walk back in that 532 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,720 dominion, it requires a man to get it. 533 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,320 But it cannot be a man in the nature of Adam who has fallen. 534 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,720 It has to be a man in the nature of God. 535 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,880 So God gives his son through the virgin woman Mary. 536 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,480 A child is will be born, a son will be given, and the 537 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:55,000 government, Isaiah says will rest on his shoulder and he'll 538 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,240 be called eternal father, Prince of Peace and some other 539 00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,040 accolades. Right Then we get into verse 540 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,120 seven, it says, and there'll be no end to the increase of his 541 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,440 government or of peace. This will be established on the 542 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,840 throne of David. David is in Jesus's bloodline, 543 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,960 the natural one. So if you follow David all the 544 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:22,280 way up to Joseph, you'll you'll find there is a natural 545 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,480 bloodline that takes him to Joseph. 546 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:31,920 Joseph, however, did not father Jesus because Jesus was born of 547 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,560 a virgin. If you take David's bloodline 548 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,840 and carry it up to Mary, you'll find it because Mary is a direct 549 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,120 descendant from King David, but so is Joseph. 550 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:51,600 They both happened to be all right, and so Jesus was born. 551 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:57,200 So he has a legal right to the throne of David in the natural. 552 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,560 Are you hearing me? And Jesus is the first born of 553 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,200 Mary. He would be the one who has a 554 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,360 right to the throne, but he's also the Son of God. 555 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,120 Hallelujah. He's the Son of God and he's a 556 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,880 man who knew no sin. He empties himself of his glory, 557 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,440 comes in the form of a man so that he can be the sacrifice. 558 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,200 He can take on our sins so that we can take on his 559 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,600 righteousness. All right. 560 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,480 And so we see that there's this government that would be 561 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,720 established as the Kingdom. That's why Jesus only preached 562 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:34,200 the Kingdom because it was always about a the Bible's about 563 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,200 a king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring. 564 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,640 It was always about us becoming sons of God, not a destination 565 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,760 where we go when we die, but we become sons of God where we are 566 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,880 in the likeness of of God again and in the position that he 567 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:55,200 originally created us, which was to rule Thunder God over his 568 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,840 creation. And we can do that now. 569 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,840 This is why when Jesus says, look, all authority has been 570 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,880 given to me. Well, good, I'm glad it's yours. 571 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,560 But he says go in essence, go in my authority. 572 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,720 You ask anything in my name. It's so powerful for us to walk 573 00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:15,840 in our kingship while we're in the earth, but not only did God 574 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,480 want our nature like him, He wanted us to have the connection 575 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,080 with his realm again, which is the Holy Spirit. 576 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,080 So Isaiah 2 chapters later, Isaiah Chapter 11, starting in 577 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,800 verse one makes reference to this child that's coming. 578 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,080 It says then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse. 579 00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:44,280 Now you know who Jesse is. Jesse is the father of David and 580 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,720 a branch from his roots will bear fruit. 581 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,360 This and verse two. Look what it says. 582 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,040 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him. 583 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,400 The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of 584 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,160 counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the 585 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:11,160 Lord Jesus said in Luke chapter 4. 586 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,680 The Spirit. Of the Lord is upon me, for he 587 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:22,440 has anointed me. John said that the Spirit told 588 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,080 me that the one who comes and the Holy Spirit comes upon him 589 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,280 without measure. He's the One, He's the one. 590 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,120 Well, you know if you've been at a church that we have taken the 591 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,520 time to already show that then when the anointing or when the 592 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,520 Holy Spirit came upon Jesus and the Father said, this is my 593 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,960 beloved Son and whom I'm well, please. 594 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,640 It is the King of heaven announcing to the earth who his 595 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,720 King is. This is my son. 596 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,000 He's the one who has the right to the throne, and I just 597 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,080 anointed him. In the old covenant they 598 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,120 anointed with oil. Oil was a type and shadow of the 599 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,880 Holy Ghost that was to come. John says I baptize you with 600 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,040 water, but he's going to come and baptize you with the Holy 601 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,040 Spirit. When the Holy Spirit baptizes 602 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,520 you, you are anointed. So when you receive the Holy 603 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:17,200 Spirit upon you, it is your kingship announcement to the 604 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,160 world that a new king is in play who is following the King of 605 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,440 kings. And so Jesus Christ was anointed 606 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,480 of the Holy Spirit. He was anointed of the Holy 607 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,400 Spirit. This is Jesus who is God in the 608 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,640 flesh. However, the Father will not let 609 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:45,240 him do any ministry until he has this anointing, until the Holy 610 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:49,840 Spirit comes upon him, and it says this, which is even 611 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,360 greater. It said it rested up until this 612 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,360 point. There were three people in the 613 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,680 Old covenant that the Holy Spirit would access the prophet, 614 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,120 the priest and the king, but the Holy Spirit did not stay on 615 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,520 them. It would come upon them and then 616 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:13,360 lift, which tells us David, as anointed as he was, he 617 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,320 experienced many times in life without the Spirit upon him. 618 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,560 Which is why it's pretty easy for him to conclude that when 619 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,160 he's looking at Bathsheba one day, the Holy Ghost was not upon 620 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,800 him that day. Because if it was upon him that 621 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,080 day, then he would have never said, you need to get that woman 622 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,520 up over here. Who is this woman? 623 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,920 But she's married. Don't care, she's fine. 624 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,280 Bring her home. He never would have said that 625 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,480 with the anointing on him. Are you hearing me? 626 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,680 So again, the anointing came on him and left him. 627 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520 This is why David would be distressed after that moment 628 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,240 because he knows well, I know when it lifts and I know when it 629 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:57,040 lifted off Saul. And I know how King Saul treated 630 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,920 me and I know what it's like to have it on me and have it off me 631 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,920 and I don't want it ever taken from me. 632 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,280 Oh, you ain't hearing what I'm saying. 633 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,760 This is why Moses said, when Joshua said people are 634 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,400 prophesying in the camp and I'm trying to say he said, man, I 635 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,200 wish all of you could have the presence of God come upon you 636 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:22,320 like it has come upon me because you would be different today if 637 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,960 you experience this. But yet we're in a new and 638 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,560 better covenant because when Jesus comes, it rests. 639 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,480 It rests. He's not having it up and down. 640 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:41,200 It rests. It rests because Jesus's action 641 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,920 on the planet was not to show the world what God can do or 642 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:51,040 what Jesus can do, but to show us what we can do because now 643 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,800 He's given us the Spirit within us. 644 00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:01,360 The Holy Ghost rests in US and then comes upon us and anoints 645 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,200 us. And you know what? 646 00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,760 I can operate in that anointing all the time. 647 00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:11,400 The Holy Ghost isn't leaving me. I mean, we're in a new and 648 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,320 better. Can we have no excuse? 649 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,280 Do you understand what kind of darkness you've got to surround 650 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,800 yourself around to be able to do the things of the world when the 651 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,960 Holy Ghost is in you and has come upon you and is always 652 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:31,040 present talking this beings, we are supernatural beings. 653 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,160 How amazing is this is that guy's like man, I'm fixing to 654 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,920 take this whole species of being called humanity. 655 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,280 I'm getting them a little step closer to the garden again. 656 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:42,960 I'm going to put my spirit in them. 657 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,360 I'm going to write their laws in their heart. 658 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,040 I'm going to change their nature. 659 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,560 Their nature can hear my spirit, then my spirit to come on them 660 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,320 and give them power and I'll send them the Holy Spirit or 661 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,080 I'll send them the seven spirits of God. 662 00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,320 What are the seven spirits of God? 663 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,960 Here it is in Isaiah Chapter 11, verse two. 664 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,040 Let me read this out of the amplified real quick classic. 665 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,480 It says the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit 666 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,240 of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel might, the 667 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:16,920 spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of 668 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,000 the Lord. So it isn't that there are seven 669 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,240 different spirits, rather the spirit of the Lord has these 670 00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:28,520 characteristics and he has them all in the fullness and 671 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:33,920 perfection. So the first one is the Spirit 672 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,160 of the Lord. That's number one. 673 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,440 And I'm going to take some time next week to break these down 674 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,240 because this first one is amazing. 675 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,800 This first one's amazing because at face value, we're all seeing 676 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,000 the Spirit of the Lord, but there's something even deeper 677 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,560 than that, and I can't wait to talk to you about it. 678 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,280 The first one though, of the seven spirits of God, the Spirit 679 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,600 of the Lord #2 the Spirit of Wisdom. 680 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,560 Notice God has given you the Spirit of Wisdom. 681 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:16,200 We are the wisest people on the planet. 682 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:22,480 Should we access what is upon us and who is in US? 683 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:26,520 Isn't that amazing? I mean, for the business guys, 684 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,880 you know, there's no thing you're encountering that you 685 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,560 can't say. Let me go get with one of the 686 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,280 Holy Spirit who is perfect in wisdom. 687 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:47,840 How do I grow my company? The problem is most of us are 688 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:56,280 going to the world to learn how instead of seeking the Spirit of 689 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,640 wisdom who is in US. It's part of the new covenant. 690 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,760 I need we need to talk about a business strategy. 691 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,120 What do I do? And again, God the Father is not 692 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:17,760 obligated to give you the answer if you're asking a miss. 693 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:25,800 You know what I'm talking about, James, He says, yeah, ask, but 694 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,320 you do not receive, right? You know. 695 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,600 And so he deals with this whole little challenge of asking. 696 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,280 You have not 'cause you ask not then he says, but you ask and 697 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,800 you don't receive. And the reason you don't receive 698 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,640 is because you ask with the wrong motive. 699 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,880 And there are a lot of people that are asking God knowing in 700 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,160 their heart, this has nothing really to do with you. 701 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,640 I want you to bless me so I can do what I want to do with it, 702 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,200 not what you want to do with it. Which means he's not going to 703 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,760 reveal secrets. He's not here to reveal secrets 704 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,280 because everything is the Lord's. 705 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,720 And when you're like, how do, how do you want me to run this 706 00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:13,640 business? Because I often ask this 707 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,880 question when someone, man, the Lord blessed me and I was able 708 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,840 to pay this off. My first thought is what are 709 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,760 they going to do now that they have extra money? 710 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,400 That's my first internal question. 711 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,600 I wonder what they're going to do now they have extra money. 712 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,160 I wonder if the Lord gave it to them so that they can do more 713 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:40,520 vacations, add more to their retirement, or will they become 714 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,200 a larger giver now for the purpose He has for their life 715 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,560 and for the church that they're connected with? 716 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:54,200 Will it show up because most people only want God to bless 717 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,320 their house and then they keep and control the wealth of their 718 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,640 home so they can talk about their net worth. 719 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:08,560 Instead of saying I have been blessed to give more, to be a 720 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,040 blessing. Brother Hagin said this. 721 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,400 I never asked God to bless me once. 722 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,080 Never. I asked the Lord to help me be a 723 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,000 blessing to others because if I'm going to be a blessing to 724 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,800 others by product, I'll be blessed. 725 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,920 Though he got his motive right. Oh, Lord bless me, that wasn't 726 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,240 it. Lord, let me be a blessing to 727 00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:38,760 others, which means I got to think about other people 1st. 728 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,120 And if I'm thinking about other people first, then I'm consumed 729 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,560 with how do I help them? And I can't even help them if I 730 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,000 don't have anything to help them with. 731 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,840 And when you put others before yourself, the Lord's like, 732 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,320 here's this. And then you know, when the and 733 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,720 the process, he'll say, well, you can keep that for yourself 734 00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,160 because you end up having so much. 735 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,600 You're like, what else can I do? I mean, I, I got more than 736 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,960 enough. Please can I find another way to 737 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,360 do something? But again, those people can hear 738 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,920 the ones that are trying to mooch off your more than enough. 739 00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:15,840 All right. The third one is the spirit of 740 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,520 understanding. You know, I mean, believe it. 741 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,320 Like I just don't understand what's going on. 742 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,800 Well, you have the spirit of understanding. 743 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:26,600 I can't tell you how many husbands I've heard. 744 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,600 I just don't understand her. You have the spirit of 745 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,480 understanding. Why are you letting another 746 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,800 spirit say you can't figure out a female? 747 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,760 I don't have to. I'm not here to figure out my 748 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,000 wife. I'm here to obey God, to do 749 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,040 whatever the Lord wants me to do for my wife. 750 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,320 And I'm sure not confessing that she's a woman and it's 751 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,480 difficult. No, she's powerful, she's a 752 00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:02,520 blessing, she's amazing. She's easy, extremely easy, 753 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,440 because she seeks the Lord. Not complicated, not 754 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,600 problematic. And you know what? 755 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,000 I can have understanding on how to please her, how to care for 756 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,440 her, how to take care of her. I just buy a shirt and say it's 757 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:26,360 all you got to do. No problem, babe, this is easy. 758 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,600 That's all you got to do Hallelujah #4 the spirit of 759 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,360 counsel. There are more believers talking 760 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:40,960 to other believers who have no wisdom, no understanding, never 761 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,800 tap into the Holy Ghost, and you're going to them for 762 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,480 counsel. Now, I'll be honest with you, I 763 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,440 haven't gotten there yet, but I'm close. 764 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:55,080 I'm close to take a playbook at a Pastor Darrell Huffman's 765 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,720 playbook. And that is if you want me to 766 00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:03,880 counsel you, then you need to get here 30 minutes early so you 767 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000 can pray in the Spirit in the and the sanctuary before we 768 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:15,160 meet. Because it is a waste of my time 769 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,360 to meet with you if you're unwilling to do what the Spirit 770 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:32,840 is saying. But if you're going to rebel 771 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,040 against God's counsel, you're surely going to rebel against 772 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,680 mine. And then I wasted an hour trying 773 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,440 to convince you of what God is saying. 774 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,400 I love you, but I must. What does the Bible say? 775 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,280 I don't care that that's happening. 776 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,680 But what does God say? You know how you can respond? 777 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,160 You know what the Spirit says? You have this fruit, Eat it. 778 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,800 I love you, Hallelujah. But many aren't going to the 779 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,400 counselor on the inside. Now, that doesn't mean if you do 780 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,040 all this, you would never have to have a pastor. 781 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,360 That's not true. You're going to have one. 782 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,120 He's there to help you. The fivefold ministry is there 783 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,560 for that. But this is what's contained 784 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:17,840 within you. You have the spirit of strength 785 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,640 #5 the spirit of strength. This is something that God is 786 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,840 perfect, Lord, perfect wisdom, perfect understanding, perfect 787 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:35,120 counsel, perfect strength. Man, I'm just so tired. 788 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:40,680 You have strength. This is why again I say, man, 789 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,160 I'm just so tired of going well, rejoice. 790 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,480 That's your problem. Your, your problem is not 791 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,960 getting a word from God because again, if you get a word from 792 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,560 God, it's set, it's suspect of whether you'll actually obey it. 793 00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,920 It's a whole other thing when you begin to rejoice in the 794 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:03,360 midst of it. Now again, I'm going to give you 795 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,280 marriage counseling right now. I understand they're seeing 796 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,080 young people in here, but they're married. 797 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,640 And again, if your child could have been in one of our 798 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,200 children's or youth ministry, our children's ministry, that's 799 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,280 why we have it, because there's things I need to say to adults. 800 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,200 I know we have youth in here, but it doesn't matter. 801 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:20,920 They're already having to deal with this. 802 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:26,600 If you are having a challenge in your marriage in your room and 803 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,960 you're arguing, you need to rejoice again and the best way 804 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,880 is you to take the lead and start rejoicing by ripping your 805 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,280 clothes off and run around naked and rejoice. 806 00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:43,480 Go ahead and get into your Garden of Eden suit and rejoice. 807 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,760 Throw off all constraints you say. 808 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,040 What's new? Did he have to do with it? 809 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,840 Has nothing to do with it, but it sure disarms a person. 810 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,800 Now some of you are saying I'd be naked all the time at the 811 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,760 house. Well, I mean, we were all naked 812 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,320 at one time, right? And when your kids are gone, 813 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,840 it's optional anyway. Can I say that? 814 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,640 Hallelujah. It's optional anyway, right? 815 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:23,040 Praise the Lord, Amen. Just rejoice again. 816 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,880 Again, I say, instead of getting mad because again, you're going 817 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,040 to have a hard time running out on your spouse in the midst of 818 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,360 an argument when you're naked. I believe in. 819 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:45,400 Well, you might want to put some clothes on. 1st Hallelujah 820 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,720 number six, the spirit of knowledge. 821 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,840 And the last is the spirit of the fear of the Lord. 822 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,160 All of these are contained within the Holy Ghost that's at 823 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,040 the throne of God. You know what that and the 824 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,560 reason why I like that analogy here in Rome in Revelations 5 is 825 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,440 because you get this mental picture. 826 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:08,040 God the Father is seated on the throne right here at his right 827 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:13,200 hand is his Son Jesus. And around the throne is the 828 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,320 seven spirits of God because the Holy Spirit can be everywhere. 829 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,640 Are you hearing what I'm saying? OK. 830 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:28,240 Because seven eyes means he's omniscient, ever present. 831 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:37,600 He's 7 horns omnipotent. He's all powerful, right. 832 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,520 And so here's the seven spirit that that you're going through, 833 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:46,720 you begin to speak to Jesus because your spirit is alive. 834 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,440 The Holy Ghost lives in you and it's a direct connect to the 835 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,840 throne room where you can go before the throne of grace and 836 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:56,000 your time of need. And you say Father in the name 837 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,480 of Jesus. So you're getting, you're not 838 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,720 even really talking to Jesus. You're talking straight to Dad. 839 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:05,000 Father, in the name of Jesus, I am authorized to come before 840 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,320 your throne right now. If we were doing a movie when 841 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:12,680 that prayer, it would show you catapulted into the throne room 842 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,720 of God and you would be personally present in front of 843 00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:19,640 him with your knees bowed before the King of glory and Jesus 844 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,880 seated at the right hand of the Father. 845 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,240 And the seven spirits are moving along with the elders and, and, 846 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,400 and then all that's taking place, you'd be personally 847 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:32,240 present there. And when you're asking what's 848 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:37,640 necessary, then Jesus is saying spirit of strength. 849 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,720 If strength's what you need, spirit of knowledge. 850 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,360 If knowledge is what you need, spirit of understanding if 851 00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:46,800 spirit of understanding is what you need. 852 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,880 He deploys them, deploys him and he comes to you in perfect 853 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,760 understanding of the situation of and the step you are. 854 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,280 You may not have perfect understanding on how it's going 855 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,920 to be resolved, but you can have perfect understanding of that 856 00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,520 next step of how to stand. And when you've done all the 857 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,200 stand, you're going to stand because I just got the word from 858 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,760 God. I just received what I needed. 859 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:12,120 I just, I just received the download from the seven spirits 860 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:17,840 of God that is the Holy Ghost. I have access to all of these. 861 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,720 I'm going to close with this and John chapter 14. 862 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,440 We'll break this down next week and John chapter 14. 863 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,640 I'll leave you with this thought process because some people 864 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,040 can't conclude this. Those are the seven spirits of 865 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,480 God. But I find it interesting that 866 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:39,720 the Amplified Classic breaks down the Helper or calls him the 867 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,000 comforter, and there's seven different names associated with 868 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,440 it. Although we're talking about 869 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,080 Isaiah, not this one. But within the context of the 870 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,480 Holy Spirit, these characteristics exist. 871 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,600 But look what it says in verse 15. 872 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,720 It's a qualifying scripture. What do I mean qualify? 873 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:05,000 It contains the word if. If is a conditional statement, 874 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,200 which means if you do not meet the condition, you do not 875 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:14,880 qualify. Jesus is talking. 876 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,440 He says if you who's you, that's us. 877 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:29,480 So he says if you really love me, then you will keep or obey 878 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,000 my commands or my word. We see here commands don't 879 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,320 default and say, oh, that's the law, it's the word of God, OK, 880 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:43,000 it's the word of God. And so if you love God, you keep 881 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,520 his word, not say I love you, you keep his word. 882 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,520 So when you are a keeper of his word, then it. 883 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,680 And then he goes on and says, and I will ask the Father and he 884 00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:00,600 will give you another comforter. He's also a counselor, he's a 885 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,480 helper, he's an intercessor, he's an advocate, he's a 886 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,360 strengthener, and he's a standby that he may remain with you for 887 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,280 how long? Forever. 888 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,880 Now there is one condition by which you can give him the boot. 889 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,720 And we're going to preach on that. 890 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,400 I'll probably do it on a Wednesday night because not 891 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,440 everybody's ready for the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost 892 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,040 sermon.
