Well, we all know this year is. 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,320 About the reigning. Spirit, right? 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,720 So you disagree with me that I can get across to you what's in 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,840 me tonight about an enemy to your reigning spirit understand. 7 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,920 And and you, you got to have this foundation first is that 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,120 that that you are a spirit, you are a spirit, you have a soul 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,280 and you live in a body. And so your spirit man, the Holy 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,480 Ghost, when you got born again, came to live inside of your 11 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,120 spirit man. And he lives inside of your 12 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,040 spirit man now to lead you and to guide you in the truth and to 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,760 show you things that are to come and to to guide you in every 14 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,920 endeavor that you're in, in life. 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,840 And and you know, this is his time, and this is his 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,200 dispensation. This is the dispensation of the 17 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,920 church and the Spirit of God. And so that's what he's called 18 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,440 here to do, is to live within you and upon you and do you with 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,800 power so that you can live in this crazy world that we're in. 20 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,440 And you can have the victory and you don't have to. 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,360 You don't have to succumb to to any heaviness or any thoughts or 22 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,160 any demise or or anything that would take you down or take you 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,240 under. You don't have to succumb to 24 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,920 that. You can live in victory, and 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,200 we're supposed to have a reigning spirit. 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,160 But I do want to talk to you a little bit about trusting. 27 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,600 I want to just fortify you tonight and your trust in the 28 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Lord. But one of the enemies to a 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,000 reigning spirit is the reasoning mind. 30 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640 The reasoning mind. And I just want to talk about 31 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240 that just a little bit. You know, in my studies for 32 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,400 tonight I could not get out of Romans chapter one and I'm going 33 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,320 to get there. But I first want to start with 34 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Proverbs chapter 3. And can I just say Proverbs 35 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,880 chapter 3 tends to be a cliche scripture that we love to throw 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,240 out. I trust in the Lord with all my 37 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840 heart and I'll lean not to my own understanding and all my 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,080 ways. I'll acknowledge him and he'll 39 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,080 make my path straight. It's all great and awesome that 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,080 you can quote it, but do you do it? 41 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,680 Are you actually doing it? You know, we like to quote No 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,680 weapon formed against me shall prosper. 43 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,760 We like to do that, but we forget. 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,120 Sometimes the the beginning of that and the end of that is But 45 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,640 their righteousness is of me, says the Lord. 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,360 So if you don't have that trust in him, you can't be saying no 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,600 weapon formed against me shall prosper. 48 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,120 You got to 1st be fortified in him and trusting in him. 49 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000 But I do want to talk about this reasoning mind, because the more 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,680 and more I see people in the church and and and outside of 51 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,480 the church I see that we we tend to lean to our own 52 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,800 understanding. We tend to lean to our own 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:20,880 perception, our own our own feelings, our own emotions about 54 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,280 a certain situation. And the Lord wants you to trust 55 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,680 in Him at all times, that His praise would continually be in 56 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,160 your mouth, that He's the one that you're constantly shifting 57 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,360 to, constantly looking to. So let's go to Proverbs 3 and I 58 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,320 actually want to read it A few other scriptures in and I want 59 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,200 to start with verse one. It says, my son, do not forget 60 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,640 my law, but let your heart keep my commands for length of days 61 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,240 and long life and peace they will add to you. 62 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,480 Let not mercy and truth forsake you. 63 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,840 Bind them around your neck and write them on the tablet of your 64 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,040 heart. And so find favor and high 65 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320 esteem in the sight of God and man. 66 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own 67 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960 understanding. In all your ways. 68 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. 69 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,959 Do not be wise in your own eyes. Let me say that again. 70 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,080 Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from 71 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000 evil. It will be health to your flesh 72 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,520 and strength to your bones. When it says, lean not to your 73 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,920 own understanding. That actually does mean your own 74 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,240 perception. Your own understanding of 75 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,000 something. Your own viewpoint. 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680 Your own emotions, your own feelings about something. 77 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,480 And you have to ask yourself in in everything that you do. 78 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,000 When something hits you, When a trial hits you, when a 79 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,520 relationship hits you the wrong way, when something hits you, 80 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,680 what is your first reaction? What is your first go to and is 81 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,040 it? Is it first? 82 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,600 Luke? Luke said That's his first. 83 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080 We're going to talk to you a little bit tonight. 84 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,760 If your first reaction is to respond and and and and not 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,280 yield to the Holy Ghost, then that's where we need to make the 86 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:23,080 adjustment. If your first reaction is to 87 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,640 quickly speak and not yield and and time out and wait, you know 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,840 we adults need a time out sometimes, not just yield and 89 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,000 wait and say Holy Ghost, what do you want me to do in this 90 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,680 situation that you don't take your own understanding of of 91 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,560 whether it's your finances, whether it's a trial, whether 92 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,200 it's your job, no matter what it is, your your life 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,040 circumstances, you take your own understanding of that. 94 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,480 And that's the way it is. And that's why, honestly, 95 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,040 there's a lot of people are that are just doing what they want to 96 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520 do. And go in their own way. 97 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240 And the Scripture is very clear about that. 98 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440 And we're going to get to, we're going to talk about it. 99 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,720 Proverbs chapter 20, verse 27 says it's not going to be up 100 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520 there. The spirit of man is the lamp of 101 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,280 the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart. 102 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,720 I want to read it to you in another translation. 103 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:25,440 The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his 104 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,080 innermost. Hearts, you know, the scripture 105 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,200 in Romans says those who are the children of God or the sons of 106 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,600 God are the ones that are led by the Spirit of God. 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,800 And the scripture says, in your spirit, God is the light, He is 108 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,280 the lamp, He is the one that's leading you in everything that 109 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,520 you do. And so anytime in life something 110 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,400 comes at you, your first response should be not to in 111 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,760 the, you know, the Psalm says I look to the hills from where my 112 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,520 help comes. You know, the help doesn't come 113 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,800 from the hills anymore. The help comes from the inside. 114 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,360 The help comes from the Holy Ghost. 115 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,200 And your first response should be to look inward and say, Holy 116 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,440 Ghost, you're leading me, I'm yielded to you. 117 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,320 You know you can quench the spirit of God. 118 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,800 You know, you can grieve him. The Bible says you can, You can 119 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 put the fire out of the Holy Ghost. 120 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320 You can quench him and everything that you do. 121 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,800 And you don't want to be in that position where you're quenching 122 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680 the spirit of God. And I say that because this 123 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Scripture says the Holy Ghost is in you, searching the very 124 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,640 innermost of your being. And so there's not anything that 125 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,960 gets away from him. There's not anything that hides 126 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,800 from him. Everything is naked and exposed 127 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,560 before him. And I'm going to tell you if 128 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,480 there's anything in you, anything in your heart that 129 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,200 you've not dealt with, the Holy Ghost has definitely talked to 130 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,960 you about it, and it's going to keep you in a position of guilt 131 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880 and condemnation. And if you stay there you'll not 132 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,680 live by faith. You'll not live by faith. 133 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,480 And you can say we we just sang the song. 134 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,280 How he saved me. How he delivered me. 135 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,400 How he set my feet on solid ground. 136 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,960 And and we sing that and we say, God, you delivered me. 137 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,800 God you set me free. You set my feet on solid ground. 138 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,600 But for some reason now we want to do what we want to do. 139 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,320 We want to have our own plans. We want to have our own minds. 140 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,679 And and in Galatians it says, how come you foolish people how 141 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,600 come? And the scripture says that. 142 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:47,280 I'm not saying that you started this thing out in the Spirit and 143 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,960 now you want to perfect it by doing it in the flesh and and 144 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,760 and honestly we got to stop and and and I asked the Holy Ghost 145 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920 where do you want me to go tonight. 146 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,400 And there must be there must be at least one of us. 147 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,960 I bet there's more than that that needs to to to take a 148 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 little step back and look inward and go. 149 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,480 You know I've kind of been leaning to my own plan my own 150 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280 understanding my own what I want to do. 151 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,480 You know, even in the story of Mary and Martha, you know Martha 152 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,800 was cumbered about with many things that she thought the Lord 153 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,560 wanted her to do. But was it what he wanted her to 154 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:31,520 do? And we get all, we get all upset 155 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,120 or mad because we're doing all these things for God, or we're 156 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,000 doing all these things, or I'm getting this list done. 157 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,280 How come my sister's not helping me? 158 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440 How come my sister in Christ not helping me? 159 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,520 How come my husband ain't helping me? 160 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,120 I'm getting my my list done, but I'm not doing anything, is unto 161 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,480 the Lord I'm doing. Everything is unto Me. 162 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920 In my own plan, in my own, my own way. 163 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,080 Now Proverbs 2826 says he who trusts in his own heart is a 164 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,920 fool. He who trusts in his own heart 165 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,400 is a fool. But whoever walks wisely will be 166 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,800 delivered, Jeremiah 923 says. Thus says the Lord, let not the 167 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,240 wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the mighty man glory 168 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,920 in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches. 169 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,440 But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and 170 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,400 knows me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, 171 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,800 judgment, and righteousness in the earth. 172 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,320 For in these I delight, says the Lord. 173 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,600 Now I want to go to Romans chapter One and you can follow 174 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,320 along with me on the screen. Romans chapter One to me is 175 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,560 something that I can read and just get so passionate about 176 00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,720 because I see it not just in people that are outside of the 177 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,800 church, but people that are in the church and and you know, 178 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,160 sometimes. We think we read this and we go 179 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,720 a reprobate mind. I'm not, that's not me. 180 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,640 I'm not that. But we're going to look. 181 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080 At what the definition of that is tonight? 182 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,160 But let's start in Romans chapter one, verse 16. 183 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,040 It says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is 184 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,840 the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for 185 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,960 the Jew 1st and also for the Greek. 186 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,800 For in it in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed 187 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,520 from faith to faith. As it is written, The just shall 188 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,760 live by faith. Thank God for righteousness, for 189 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,640 the wrath of God is revealed. Listen to this, for the wrath of 190 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,720 God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and 191 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,000 unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in 192 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,400 unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest 193 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,720 in them. Are you listening? 194 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,440 Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has 195 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,280 shown it to them. For since the creation of the 196 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:18,040 world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being 197 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,560 understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power 198 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:27,920 and Godhead, so that they're without excuse, because although 199 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,840 they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were 200 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,160 they thankful. Let me read that again. 201 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,080 Because although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, 202 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,640 nor were they thankful, but became futile because they 203 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,720 didn't glorify Him as God, and because they were not thankful, 204 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,760 they did. Not they did not have him as 205 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,960 Lord, and they were not thankful. 206 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,560 Are you glorifying him as God every day? 207 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,480 Is he first? Are you seeking first the 208 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Kingdom of God, and are you thankful? 209 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,640 Those are two very very important, very powerful 210 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,880 principles. So they did not glorify him as 211 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,840 God, nor were they thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, 212 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,560 and their foolish hearts were darkened. 213 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:29,160 Professing to be wise, they became fools, and change the 214 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,080 glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like 215 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,720 corruptible man and birds, and four footed animals and creeping 216 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,040 things. Therefore God also gave them up 217 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,800 to uncleanness in the. Lusts of their hearts to 218 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,560 dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the 219 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:53,720 truth of God for a lie and listen to this part and 220 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,520 worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator 221 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,800 who is blessed forever. Amen. 222 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,160 Worshiped and served the creature rather than the 223 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,560 Creator. We are living in a time where 224 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:15,520 people are worshipping and serving the creation, the the 225 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,880 creature yourself. Me, what I want, what I feel, 226 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680 what I need, instead of the Creator. 227 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,720 They worshipped and served the creature rather than the 228 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,000 Creator, who is blessed forever. For this reason God gave them up 229 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,560 to vile passions. For even their women exchanged. 230 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,680 And that you know why this is happening all over the the earth 231 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,080 today. Right here he gave the women, 232 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,640 the women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature, 233 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,120 and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the 234 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,480 woman burned in their lust for one another, men with men 235 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,720 committing with it what is shameful, and receiving in 236 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,960 themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 237 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,120 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, 238 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,960 God gave them over to a debased mind or a reprobate mind to do 239 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040 those things which are not fitting or not proper. 240 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual 241 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,360 immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, 242 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,920 full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil, mindedness. 243 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:35,120 They are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud 244 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,920 boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 245 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:47,440 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, 246 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,760 unmerciful, Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that 247 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,080 those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only 248 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,120 do the same, but also approve of those who practice them. 249 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,000 Now, I'm not trying to to get y'all all serious. 250 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,520 Tonight we're going to talk about trusting in God and not 251 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,040 your own self, but we got to talk about this. 252 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,400 For just a minute, the reprobate mind actually means it. 253 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,160 It was tested. The mind was tested and not 254 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,840 approved. It was rejected. 255 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120 OK, the the thoughts. You know, you know the the 256 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,200 scripture says that he searches, he searches the innermost part 257 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080 of your belly. Everything that's going on in 258 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,320 you and he, he, the eyes of the Lord are are roaming to and fro 259 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:44,440 looking for somebody whose heart heart is right before him. 260 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,720 What does that mean? What does that mean? 261 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,840 What is your mind thinking on? Can Can Can your mind be tested 262 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:58,200 and approved? Can the Lord sees every thought 263 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,480 in your mind? Can your mind be tested and 264 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,640 approved or rejected? What's going on in your mind? 265 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,680 Are you glorifying God? Listen this. 266 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,000 I know it's the Bible says not to get away from the simplicity 267 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800 of that's in Christ. I know this may sound simple, 268 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,079 but what I'm saying to you is this is life and this is how you 269 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,240 overcome. And every single day of your 270 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,640 life, when something hits you, you're either going to choose 271 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,560 life or you're going to choose death. 272 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,480 You're going to choose life in your thoughts or you're not. 273 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,840 You're going to choose what the word of God says, or you're 274 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,960 going to choose what you feel about it, what you think about 275 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080 it, what's your mind and what your emotions are saying about 276 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,560 it. And you know your emotions are 277 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,040 loud. I get that they are super loud 278 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,800 and they can certainly talk, but you got to have enough maturity 279 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,640 and enough discernment that when those things hit you, you're 280 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,200 able to properly step back and discern. 281 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,120 But like the scripture says, those that are mature and a full 282 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:06,840 age by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good 283 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,920 and evil that I can recognize. Whoa. 284 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,680 My emotions are lit right now. They are on fire about 285 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,600 something. I feel angry. 286 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,920 I feel frustrated. I feel disappointed about 287 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,480 something. What are you going to do with 288 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,480 that feeling? What are you going to do with 289 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,440 that emotion? You going to respond to it? 290 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,920 You're going to respond to the circumstances of it? 291 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,600 This is, this is where our maturity happens. 292 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,480 Right here is when those things come at us, that we're able to 293 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,200 stop for a minute and say Holy Ghost, what are you saying? 294 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Lead me, search my heart, see my anxious thoughts, see if there's 295 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,520 anything offensive in me and lead me in the way everlasting. 296 00:18:52,600 --> 00:19:00,080 If David can do that, if David can do that, and we have the 297 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,760 Holy Ghost within us and upon us, there's no excuse. 298 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,480 There's no excuse for us. And when I read Romans chapter 299 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,880 one, we're talking about people who who really can can have have 300 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,360 been preached the word of God, can look at creation and say 301 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520 there's a God, have yet maybe even quoted some scriptures. 302 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,000 Here and there. But you've got to guard your 303 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,280 heart as a believer that you are always, always giving him the 304 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,880 glory and always acknowledging him first and always being 305 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,600 thankful so that you don't slip into. 306 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,880 Because we're seeing people in the church slipping into this 307 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:46,240 debased mind, slipping into this, this unrighteous thinking 308 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,480 and and starting to make choices that go along with the reasoning 309 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,720 of their mind. It should not be happening with 310 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720 us. It starts with a thought every, 311 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,760 every single time. And then when it says they were 312 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,640 vain in their imagination, that means the thinking of a man 313 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,040 deliberating with himself, the thinking of a man deliberating 314 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,400 with himself. It means inward reasoning. 315 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,920 It means questioning what is true. 316 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,360 It means hesitating. And doubting or disputing, 317 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,240 That's what it means when they were vain in their imaginations. 318 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,960 What are your imaginations on? What are your thoughts on? 319 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,160 It says they were darkened, and that means the eyes of their 320 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,240 understanding were not enlightened, they were darkened. 321 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,440 Your desires don't define you. Can I just say that just because 322 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,000 you have a desire does not mean that's you. 323 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,480 Just because a a passion or a thing comes at you, you better 324 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,320 know enough of the word of God and you better have enough in 325 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,240 you to say I recognize where that's coming from and I'm going 326 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,800 to kill that and squash that right now so it doesn't become a 327 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,320 passion or a lust in me. Believers, this is believers. 328 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,280 I'm talking to believers tonight. 329 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,600 The devil is coming at you just like he is everybody else, Day 330 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:27,360 and night, day and night. But you have the victory, We 331 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:30,800 have the victory. You have the victory. 332 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,800 And then remember a couple of Sundays ago, I said, you better 333 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,560 look like and act like you have the victory on the inside all 334 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,000 the time. Because you do. 335 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,680 Because he's under your feet. And that's why righteousness is 336 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,760 such a big subject for you to understand. 337 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,280 When it says seek first the Kingdom of God and his 338 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,320 righteousness, it's because remember, that's a gift to you. 339 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,040 There are there are fruits of righteousness and you will do 340 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,720 righteous things. But you first have to understand 341 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,520 that he made you righteous, and there's nothing that you did to 342 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,400 earn it other than you believed. And once you believed and you 343 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,960 became righteous, you right then are seated in heavenly places 344 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,120 with him far above all rule and authority and power and dominion 345 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,000 and everything that's named. You're far above it. 346 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,160 That's where you're seated in your righteousness. 347 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,960 And so when the accuser of the brethren is coming at you and 348 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,120 with those fiery darts, you have the Holy Ghost. 349 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:41,440 You have Jesus all interceding for you and talking to you and 350 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,400 leading you. It's nothing for you to say, OK, 351 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,240 I hear you, OK, I know what the word of God says. 352 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,800 That's under my feet. I don't have to yield to that. 353 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,120 You know, the Bible says you're seated in the presence of your 354 00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:58,280 enemies. They're there. 355 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,720 They're all, they're going to be there. 356 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,800 But you got to stay seated. You got to stay seated at the 357 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,480 table. I remember, and I've shared this 358 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,200 before, when I was a Rhema student and I had gotten home 359 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,200 from class one night and I was listening to Brother Hagen, and 360 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,120 he was talking about casting your cares upon the Lord. 361 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,160 And he started talking about Psalm 23 and being seated at the 362 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,760 table. And he said, pass me a big bowl 363 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,160 of victory and then he and then he got kind of wound up. 364 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,520 He said pass me a bowl of joy. And then he got a little more 365 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,440 wound up and he said pass me a bowl of peace. 366 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Well, I was sitting in in my apartment parking lot and I 367 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,800 opened my little door in my car and I took off running down the 368 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,160 street, left it playing in my car, just did something hit me. 369 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,600 And I just all by myself, dark at night, just took off running 370 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,920 because I got it. It clicked with me. 371 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,320 I was like, yes, I don't have to worry about a thing. 372 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,720 I can rejoice when anything comes. 373 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,320 My brethren. Rejoice when you face trials of 374 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,200 many kind, because you know why the testing of your faith 375 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,160 develops perseverance. And sometimes the testing of our 376 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,000 faith makes us want to run. We want to blame other people 377 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,040 and we want to run or we want to stay offended when something 378 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,480 comes instead of going well, Glory to God, this is a test and 379 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,680 I'm not going to be moved. I'm going to count it all. 380 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,720 Joy. OK, I better get through my 381 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,520 nose. Jeremiah, chapter 17, verses 5 382 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,280 through 10. Thus says the Lord. 383 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Cursed is the man who trusts in man, or trust in yourself, and 384 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,520 makes flesh his strength. Cursed is that man whose heart 385 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,440 departs from the Lord. For that man he shall be like a 386 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,440 shrub in the desert, and shall not even see when good comes, 387 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,520 but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness in a 388 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,560 salt land which is not inhabited. 389 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,840 Oh, but blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose 390 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,680 hope is the Lord. For that man he shall be like a 391 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,760 tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the 392 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,720 river, and will not fear when heat comes. 393 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,920 But it's leaf will be green, and it will not be anxious in the 394 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:40,480 year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit the heart. 395 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,520 Then it goes on to say the heart is deceitful above all things 396 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,400 and desperately wicked. Who can know it? 397 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:53,720 I, the Lord, search the heart and I test the mind even to give 398 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,840 to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of 399 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,040 his doings. OK, if he's if he's giving to 400 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,760 you, every man according to his ways. 401 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,880 Do you think it's just everything that you do 402 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,360 outwardly, or do you think it? He also is looking at what 403 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,520 you're thinking and what the meditation of your heart is. 404 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Always, always. He sees every bit of it. 405 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,280 Now let's shift over into if you're reasoning, if you're 406 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,960 trusting in your own mind, then really that's just a good 407 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,040 indicator that you're not trusting God, that you're 408 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,440 doubting, that you're letting unbelief come in and you know 409 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,520 one moment of worry squashes every bit of faith that you 410 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,960 have. You can come in here and you can 411 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,680 get built up in the spirit. You can do your Bible reading at 412 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,120 home, and you can feel strengthened, and then something 413 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:52,200 hits you and you take about 10 minutes to worry about it and 414 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,760 meditate on it and it you just squashed every bit of faith that 415 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,920 you had. Do not give the devil a 416 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:04,160 foothold. Do not give him an inch. 417 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:12,120 You've got to be that precise, that deliberate in your mind, in 418 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:16,400 your meditations, in your actions, that no matter what 419 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,360 comes to you, you know exactly what to do. 420 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,840 You discern it. And you know exactly what to do 421 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,960 with it. Do not let doubt remain in you. 422 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,960 All right, so let's go to Second Samuel, chapter 22, verse 31. 423 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:39,280 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the Lord is proven, 424 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,440 and He is a shield to all those who trust in him. 425 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,040 As for the Lord, his way is perfect. 426 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,640 Do you not know? I mean all of you. 427 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,960 I could look at all of you, and you could all say I was without 428 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,040 the Lord at one time. We can all say that we we go, 429 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,400 Wow, He set me free. He delivered me. 430 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,120 He put me in a great church, look at what he's done for me. 431 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,600 But then we get this certain trial and we think he doesn't 432 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,240 have the strength to handle it. We think he doesn't have the 433 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,480 wisdom to do anything with it. We think the Holy Ghost is not 434 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,040 really our helper. We think he's just there to give 435 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,200 us goosebumps. We don't really realize the Holy 436 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,640 Ghost is really our comforter. We think we're supposed to worry 437 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:33,280 about it. The Holy Ghost is your guide. 438 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,800 He's your counselor. He's your comforter. 439 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,240 He's your helper. He's the one that leads you and 440 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,520 everything that you do. You shouldn't have any reason to 441 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,840 worry at all. And you know, people like to 442 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120 say, well, I'm just worried about so and so. 443 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,080 I'm just I'm just a little concerned. 444 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,720 I just. I'm just concerned that they're 445 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,760 not going to. Well then you are have 0 faith 446 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,680 and and and people will get downright mad at you for telling 447 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,120 you you shouldn't be worrying about something people will get 448 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,000 upset at you for for rebuking you for your emotions. 449 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,640 I found a scripture the other. Day. 450 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,600 I wish I could remember where that was. 451 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,520 That gave me permission to slap people and I need to find that. 452 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,920 I think I said it in my Ki class it, but it literally said 453 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,360 something about you ought to be happy about it. 454 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600 When I slap you and when I rebuke you, it was something 455 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000 like that. It was something along the lines 456 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,320 as when when a friend or when a pastor or when a, you know, some 457 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,240 spiritual person in your life, it just kind of, you know, hits 458 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,920 you or wants to slap some sense into you that you ought to be 459 00:29:53,920 --> 00:30:00,840 happy about it. So there Psalms 18. 460 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:07,320 Two says, the Lord is my rock and my fortress and my. 461 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Deliverer my God, my strength, in whom I will trust. 462 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,360 My shield and the horn of my salvation and my stronghold. 463 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,960 You know, he's a strong tower, and the Bible says the righteous 464 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,480 run into him and they're safe, safe from all harm. 465 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:34,040 From anything that could come to you, Psalm 62, eight, I'm just 466 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,160 want to build you up in your trust a little bit. 467 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:41,000 I just want to slap you though about your own reasoning. 468 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,760 About your own understanding, and I also want and we'll either 469 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440 do at the end of service or you better do it when you leave here 470 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,200 to take a minute and say, Lord, forgive me, forgive me for 471 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,120 having my own plans. Forgive me for making my own 472 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,000 way. Forgive me for reasoning things 473 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,280 out in my mind. Forgive me for justifying my 474 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:14,040 situation, because we do that. We justify our situation as to 475 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,200 why we're going through it and whose fault it is. 476 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880 Let me keep reading. Trust in him at all times, you 477 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,640 people. I feel like that's the way I 478 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400 want to say it. Trust in him at all times, you 479 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,240 people. Pour out your heart before him. 480 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:40,400 God is a refuge for us. Psalm 84, Psalm 84, Verse one. 481 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,000 Let's read a few of the verses here. 482 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,880 How lovely is your Tabernacle, O Lord of Hosts. 483 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:53,880 My soul longs, yes, even faints, for the courts of my God, my 484 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,640 heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 485 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,840 Even the Sparrow has found a home, and the swallow and nest 486 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,000 for herself, where she may lay her young. 487 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,320 Even your altars, O Lord of Hosts, my king and my God, 488 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,600 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. 489 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,360 They will still be praising you. Blessed is the man whose 490 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:22,800 strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage or God's 491 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,560 way of doing things. As they pass through the valley 492 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:33,000 of Baca, they make it a spring. The rain also covers it with 493 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,280 pools, and they go from strength to strength. 494 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,560 That means when they pass through a valley of weeping when 495 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,360 you when yay. Though I walk through the valley 496 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,560 of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. 497 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,680 No evil. You know when you're walking 498 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,280 through the valley of anything that the scripture says, it's 499 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,560 just a shadow. I can see my shadow right there, 500 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,240 but that's not really me right there on laying down on the 501 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,480 carpet. Here I am. 502 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,560 That's just a shadow. When you're walking through the 503 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,360 valley of the shadow of death, it's not anything that can 504 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,960 really take you out. As long as you keep your trust 505 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,560 in him, as long as you keep your faith in him, Just go. 506 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280 Sometimes you ought to just say that's just a shadow. 507 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,360 It's just a shadow. I'll fear nothing. 508 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,760 I'm not going to fear anything. So it says that blessed is a man 509 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,280 whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on God's way as 510 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,920 they pass through the valley of. Weeping or or a valley of of of 511 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,000 trial, of valley of testing. They make it a spring. 512 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,200 The rain also covers it with pools. 513 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,960 They go from strength to strength to strength. 514 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,440 Each one of them appears before God and Zion, oh Lord God of 515 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,040 Hosts. Hear my prayer. 516 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:55,880 Give ear, O God of Jacob, oh God, behold our shield, and look 517 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,080 upon the face of your anointed for a day in your courts is 518 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,840 better than 1000 elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper 519 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,400 in the House of my God than dwell in the tents of 520 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,120 wickedness, for the Lord. God is a son and shield, and the 521 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:18,480 Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold 522 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:23,679 from those who walk uprightly. Oh Lord of hosts, Blessed is the 523 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,360 man that trusts in you. The Scripture Did y'all hear 524 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,880 that the scripture says no. Good thing will he withhold? 525 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,639 From those who walk uprightly from the inside out, can I say 526 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,719 that from the inside out, no good thing is he going to 527 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,920 withhold. From those who walk uprightly. 528 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,440 Blessed is the man who trusts in you. 529 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,440 You know you're going to have a lot more. 530 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,360 You're going to experience a lot more victory, a lot more 531 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,000 blessing, a lot more overcoming, a lot more things coming your 532 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,400 way. If you'll just rest and trust, 533 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,840 Come on. If you'll just have faith, you 534 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,000 know the minute that you start getting worked up about 535 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,120 something, you know it. Your blood pressure rises, your 536 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,480 heart starts pumping, You start trying to figure things out on 537 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,440 your own. You got to cut that out. 538 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,320 You got to recognize the minute that you start doing that and 539 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,240 go, No, no, no, no. I'm going to trust in God. 540 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,360 He's faithful. He's never let me down. 541 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,640 He'll always deliver me. He's my strong tower. 542 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,000 He's everything to me. He's Jehovah Jireh. 543 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,600 He's Jehovah Shalom. He's Jehovah Sid Canoe. 544 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,880 He's every, every, whatever, whatever the rest of the 545 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,880 Jehovah's are. He's everything that you need. 546 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,400 I can't. Remember all of them. 547 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,600 But he's everything that you need. 548 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,160 He's everything. He's not lacking in anything. 549 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,080 Not anything. You know, the scripture says 550 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,240 goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life. 551 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,000 It follows you. Are you living like it follows 552 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,600 you? Or are you trying to grab 553 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,840 goodness on your own and grab provision on your own and grab 554 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520 things on your own? Or are you trusting that if I'll 555 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,320 just stay seated right here, if I'll just stay in my position of 556 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,440 rest and all those things will be added? 557 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,440 All those things will be added. This is the fight right here. 558 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,960 This If you can conquer this, you can conquer anything, 559 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,520 anything. It won't matter what comes to 560 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,560 you. Psalm 112, verses 7 and eight. 561 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600 He will not be afraid. This is talking about the 562 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,880 righteous man. He will not be afraid of evil 563 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:41,400 tidings you know you're not afraid of of an evil report 564 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,640 coming to you. You're not afraid of a doctor's 565 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:50,320 report coming to you. You're not afraid of a bill 566 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,400 coming to you that you weren't expecting. 567 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,840 You're not afraid of evil tidings. 568 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,880 His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 569 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,720 His heart is established, and he will not be afraid. 570 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,120 How many times does the Scripture say even in the Old 571 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,960 Testament? Fear not and be courageous. 572 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,680 Be strong and be courageous. Fear not, do not fear. 573 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,880 Do not be dismayed. Do not shrink back. 574 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,880 Do not get weary. In well doing you can conquer 575 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,280 anything. You can conquer this. 576 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:29,320 Psalm 91. Psalm 91, I think Mr. David. 577 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,080 May have found my slap scripture. 578 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,520 Let's see. Is that what you sent me? 579 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,280 Mr. David? Thank you. 580 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,840 That might be it. Let the righteous smite me. 581 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,400 It shall be a kindness, and let him reprove me. 582 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,120 It shall be an excellent oil which shall not break my head 583 00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:49,240 for yet. My prayer also shall be in their 584 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,400 calamities. Let the righteous smite me. 585 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,760 That means let him. Let him reprove me as long as 586 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,680 I'm speaking the truth in love. As long as your righteous 587 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,080 brother or sister are speaking the truth in love, you ought to 588 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,200 be excited about it. You ought to be happy about it, 589 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,920 and if they have to slap you to get it through, then okay. 590 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,720 All right. Psalm 91 He who dwells in the 591 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,840 secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of 592 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,680 the Almighty. Are you dwelling? 593 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,440 Are you dwelling, I will say of the Lord. 594 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,200 He is my refuge and my fortress, my God. 595 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,520 In him I will trust. Surely he will deliver you from 596 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,280 the snare of the Fowler, and from the perilous pestilence. 597 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,480 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings 598 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,640 you shall take refuge. His truth shall be your shield 599 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,040 and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the 600 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080 terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day. 601 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,120 Doesn't say you may not or please don't be. 602 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:04,320 It says you shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor the 603 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,200 arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the 604 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,200 darkness, nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 1000 605 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,400 may fall at your side, 10,000 at your right hand, but it will not 606 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,680 come near you only with your eyes. 607 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,880 You shall look and see the reward of the wicked, because 608 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,040 you've made the Lord who is my refuge even the Most High your 609 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,200 dwelling place. No evil shall befall you, nor 610 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,160 shall any plague come near your dwelling. 611 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,680 We just need to be encouraged in this tonight that you can trust 612 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,560 in him at all times that the promises of God are Yes and 613 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,040 Amen. That you shouldn't have any 614 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,120 ounce of doubt or allow any ounce of fear to come into you. 615 00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:00,200 You know fear is a spirit. Fear is not just an emotion, it 616 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,680 is a spirit. And when fear comes to you, you 617 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,320 better recognize that spirit right away. 618 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:11,120 And say I bind you up, you spirit of fear, you have no 619 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,480 place for the Lord. God has given me love and a 620 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,880 sound mind, power, love and a sound, sound mind. 621 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,640 I'll not yield to the spirit of fear. 622 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,440 And that, and that goes for anything that God's called you 623 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,000 to do. If he's asked you to step out in 624 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,320 faith in any area of your life, and you're letting fear hold you 625 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,400 back, you better recognize it. And you better step out in fear 626 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,680 and trust and step out in fear. Step out in faith and trust him. 627 00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:42,480 Trust him. It takes. 628 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,880 You know, we listen to a message years ago by Keith Moore called 629 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,240 no risk, no reward. Sometimes when you step out in 630 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:52,720 faith, there's a risk. Involved, meaning you know, you 631 00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:56,560 got to leave your house, you got to leave sometimes your family, 632 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,840 sometimes you got to step out from among those places. 633 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,720 You know what he told Abraham? Leave your family and go to the 634 00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,520 land that I'm going to call you to. 635 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,640 And sometimes coming out and leaving our family means coming 636 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,280 out from the dysfunction of our family that we've been in, 637 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,440 coming out from the the wrong thinking of our family that 638 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,400 we've been around and being able to step back and go, OK, that 639 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960 wasn't right. And I realized that caused some 640 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,800 kind of thought pattern. In my mind. 641 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,160 But but the scripture breaks down every stronghold in Christ. 642 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,320 I can destroy the strongholds that are built up in my mind. 643 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,520 And you can and you got to take step of faith and step out and 644 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,280 and do what God's called you to do. 645 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,320 And don't let fear grip you because that fears a spirit. 646 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,360 1000 may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand, but 647 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,280 it will not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you 648 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,840 look and see the reward of the wicked, because you've made the 649 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,960 Lord who is my refuge even the Most High your dwelling place. 650 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:07,520 No evil shall befall you, and no plague shall come near your 651 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:13,200 dwelling, for he shall give his angels charge over you to keep 652 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,720 you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear 653 00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:21,280 you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 654 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,640 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion 655 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,800 and the serpent. You shall trample under foot, 656 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,400 because he has set his love upon me. 657 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,200 Therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because 658 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,200 he has known my name. He shall call upon me and I'll 659 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,080 answer him. I will be with him in trouble. 660 00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:43,440 I will deliver him and honor him. 661 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,680 He's saying this about you. I will deliver him and honor 662 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,680 him, and with long life I will satisfy him and show him my 663 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,400 salvation. Do you believe that? 664 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,400 Do you. Do you believe that he's going 665 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,440 to deliver you, that he's going to honor you, that he's going to 666 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,040 give you long life, That he's going to show you his 667 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,920 deliverance, his salvation in every circumstance of life? 668 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,680 Isaiah 26, Three. You will keep him in perfect 669 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,320 peace. Whose mind is stayed on him 670 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,640 because he trusts in him, Because he trusts in you. 671 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,400 Are you keeping your mind stayed on him? 672 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,520 The minute we're talking about those critical minutes, we're 673 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,400 talking about those pivotable moments when something comes at 674 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,960 you. That's the moment. 675 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,680 Are you going to say God, I'm going to keep my mind stayed on 676 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,200 you, God, I'm not going to be moved. 677 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,480 God, you're going to deliver me. God, you're my shield. 678 00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:47,720 God, you're my buckler. Father, you're my deliverer 679 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,120 Father, you're the one that leads and guides me in the 680 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,120 truth. My my feet will not slip. 1000 681 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,280 will fall at my side, 10,000 in my right hand. 682 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,320 It will not even come near me. It's. 683 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,160 Got to be in you. You've got to believe it when 684 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,560 you say it. You've got to have faith in it. 685 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:11,040 Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd. 686 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:17,440 I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green 687 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,480 pastures. He leads me beside the still 688 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,560 waters. He restores my soul. 689 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,960 He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's 690 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,760 sake. Yeah. 691 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,160 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. 692 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,480 We just talked about this. I will fear no evil, for you are 693 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,200 with me. Your rod and your staff, they 694 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:43,720 comfort me. You prepare a table before me in 695 00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:47,600 the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, and 696 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,680 my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall 697 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,400 follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the 698 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,880 House of the. Lord forever. 699 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:07,720 Forever Proverbs 133 But the one who always listens to me will 700 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:14,960 live undisturbed in a heavenly peace, free from fear, Confident 701 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,320 and courageous, you will rest unafraid and sheltered from the 702 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,920 storms of life.

Let me read it again. 704 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,960 But the one who always listens to me will live undisturbed in a 705 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:39,000 heavenly peace, free from fear, confident and courageous, you 706 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,800 will rest unafraid and sheltered from the storms of life. 707 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:50,080 Isaiah 4110.

Let gentleness be seen in every 724 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,240 relationship, for our Lord is ever near. 725 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,440 Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a 726 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,840 thing. Be saturated in prayer 727 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,680 throughout each day, offering your faith filled request before 728 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:09,840 God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your 729 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,160 life. Then God's wonderful peace that 730 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,760 transcends human understanding will make the answers known to 731 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,320 you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts 732 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:29,720 continually fixed on all that is authentic and real and honorable 733 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,960 and. Admirable, beautiful and 734 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:39,080 respectful. Pure and holy, merciful and 735 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:44,640 kind, and fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, 736 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,360 praising him. Always follow the example that 737 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,600 we all have imparted to you, and the God of peace will be with 738 00:47:54,600 --> 00:48:00,080 you in all things. In all things you have to ask 739 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,120 yourself tonight. And that is my cry. 740 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,640 That is my call to you tonight. You have to ask yourself, have I 741 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:13,840 been leaning too much? To my own understanding, can I 742 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,000 easily quote Proverbs chapter 3? But it is Is it an actual 743 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,520 reality in my life? The Bible says many are the 744 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,320 plans in a man's. Heart. 745 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,920 But it's the Lord's purpose that prevails. 746 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:38,360 Commit your way, the Bible says. Commit your way unto him, and 747 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,560 he'll make your path straight. I just want to make sure that 748 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,240 we've we've all, and we are consistently all casting the 749 00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:54,680 weight of our cares on the Lord that we're not carrying the the, 750 00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:59,760 the sin that so easily entangles us, the weights, the burdens, 751 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,040 the cares of life. You know, you can just be 752 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,320 weighed down with the cares of life. 753 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:14,840 The scripture says that he came to heal every part of you, every 754 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,880 part of you, every broken part, every dysfunctional part. 755 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,200 Everything that's in you. That's anxious. 756 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,880 That's not right. That needs mending, that needs 757 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,440 healing. That's what he does. 758 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,840 And I just want us to make a mental shift and a spiritual 759 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:42,440 shift tonight where we say I'm going to not anymore. 760 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:50,120 Lean on my own understanding, on my own thoughts, On my own way. 761 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:57,560 On my own list, on my own discernment that I'm going to be 762 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:03,240 a mature believer. Maturity that this body, we can 763 00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:07,680 be a body where we are in unity. I said this a couple of Sundays 764 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,280 ago. Listen, if we can get in Unity, 765 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:16,520 not just here but in our homes, you're saying the same thing I'm 766 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,240 saying, and I'm saying the same thing. 767 00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:23,080 You're saying that we're all on the same page. 768 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaking the word of God, taking dominion in our mind for the 769 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:35,440 battle that we fight is not carnal, it's not fleshly, it's 770 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,320 not anything in the scene. You cannot put your eyes or your 771 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:45,160 focus on anything that you see. You're you're. 772 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,960 The scripture says to be heavenly minded is life and 773 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:56,120 peace, life and peace for you. And I just want us to make the 774 00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:00,000 shift that we're going to say, you know, God delivered me. 775 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,640 He brought me out of darkness, He brought me out of of drugs. 776 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,640 He brought me out of dysfunction. 777 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,960 He brought me out of all kinds of stuff. 778 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,800 But you know, I've gotten a little bit into trusting my own 779 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:23,320 way, trusting my own plan, worrying about what's said in 780 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,840 front of me. And I want us as Pastor Marcus 781 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,080 plays, I want us just to make an honest assessment. 782 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,720 Listen, today is the day of salvation, which means today's 783 00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:41,040 the day of deliverance in every area, every area of your life. 784 00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,960 And if you know there's something that you've trusted in 785 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,360 your your own strength, you've trusted in your own arm. 786 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,240 Remember, Jeremiah said, Cursed is the man who trust in his own 787 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:59,240 strength his own arm, But blessed is the one who trusts in 788 00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:02,840 the Lord. That man will be like the tree 789 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,960 planted by the streams of water. And drought can come and heat 790 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,400 can come, and trials can come and anything can come to you. 791 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,680 But how are you going to respond? 792 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,040 And I just want us to ask the question. 793 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:26,160 The Holy Ghost have I been reasoning in my mind? 794 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:31,200 Oh, Father, we open our hearts to you, and we ask the question, 795 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:37,120 Lord, if I've been reasoning in my mind, I repent. 796 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,560 If I've been trusting in my own way and my own strength, and 797 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,600 encumbered about with many, many. 798 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,200 Things. We repent. 799 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:55,920 If you need to come down to the altar and repent, do it. 800 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,080 Do it. Don't let fear grip you. 801 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,520 Don't let anxiety grip you. Don't let justification in your 802 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,960 mind grip you. Just come down here and repent 803 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:11,240 and say, Lord, forgive me for trusting in my own strength, for 804 00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:15,800 worshipping really my own way instead of the Creator. 805 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:26,720 Lord, forgive us that we would not trust in our own plans, in 806 00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:33,320 our own way, our own devices, our own emotions, our own 807 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,400 feelings about something. But we'll trust in you with all 808 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:42,880 of our heart, everything on the inside, and we'll make the 809 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:53,440 adjustment tonight.
