Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. So if you have your Bibles turn
over to Genesis chapter one Genesis chapter one.
I'm really excited about this message tonight.
Fact, it started to grow them, like I could do this in two but
we won't But we won't. I want to talk to you about
Kingdom Foundation, okay? Because if your foundation is
not right, I don't care what you build.
This irrelevant, I don't care what you are, building.
It is coming down if the foundation is not right.
Are you hearing me? So look what it says here in
Genesis 1. Verse 1 in the beginning God
created the heavens and the Earth First to the Earth was
formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep
and the who spirit of God was moving over the surface of the
water. Then God said, so in these three
verses is the trinity Okay. God is the father.
There's God the father in the beginning God, okay?
But God also is the holy spirit. We see the spirit of God.
He's moving around. But what's he doing?
He's doing nothing the. Holy spirit's just hovering just
hanging out why? Cuz he's waiting.
I said he's waiting. And what's he waiting on the
word? The Holy Spirit does not move
outside. The word doesn't happen.
He does not do it. He does not get, he does not try
to correct anything with the Earth.
Without the word, he just hovers.
I said, he hovers. I said he hovers, I said he
hovers. So we see right here in the
first three chapters that there is ranking structure.
And we've talked about this in one of our Leadership Lessons on
Wednesday night, how the chain of command is in the godhead,
right? The chain of command is in the
guy had, there's God the Father God, the son, God the Holy
Spirit and although there are three One.
They are still in a rank because Jesus himself when he was on the
planet, which is the word in the flesh said, I don't speak
anything on my own initiative. I only say what I hear now,
who's he listening to the father?
So Jesus is saying, I don't I don't decide what to do.
I'm not the one calling the shots.
I'm not the one in control. I'm listening to the father.
Are you hearing me now? If we go and jump over to John
16:13, we see this. Jesus says, however, when he the
spirit of truth, that's the Holy Spirit has come, he will guide
you into all truth. Now, previous to that he says, I
got little many more things. I love to tell you, but you're
not able to Bear them, right? And he also said this even a
little bit further up in this chapter, he says, it's to your
advantage that I go, so that he can come.
But now when he comes, what's he going to do for he?
Because it's not an it nor bird, but he shall not speak of
himself. Right, he's not gonna do it.
So, in essence, the Holy Ghost is not saying I did that.
Look at my power, look at what I do.
Look at how I did that, look at how I did that, he doesn't do
that. He doesn't talk about himself,
right, but whatever he what here's he shall.
So, what's he saying? He's only saying what he hears
from Jesus. He only communicates things that
he's hearing from Jesus and Jesus.
His only saying things he's hearing from the father, that's
how it works and it doesn't work any other way.
With God, I said with God. Now, how important is the word
then? Well, look what it says in
Psalms 183, verse to the modern King James version, says that
this way, I will worship toward your Holy Temple and praise your
name for your loving kindness and for your truths sake for you
have magnified, your above all your name, notice what it
doesn't say. It doesn't say, I've magnified
your spirit. Doesn't say I magnified.
Your spirit says, I magnified your word because the spirits
doing nothing. Unless the word is talking.
I'm talking the Holy Spirit. The holy spirit's not doing a
thing. He cannot do a thing other than
what he hears, the word say and he says you magnified, your word
above all your name, which the most important thing to God, the
father is, the word is the word because he wants all of his
creation to know that the thing that I value the most Is my word
and I keep it. I keep it.
So he magnifies not his Spirit not as power.
But his word, cause any his word is power, and it is where it is
Authority. But without his word, Are you
hear me? Let's look at Psalms Windows 7
verse 2. He sent his what word and healed
them and delivered them from all their destruction.
He sent his. What did he send his Spirit?
Now, I'm not saying the spirit is not coming with the word
because, again, the spirit is obligated Obligated to do
whatever the word says. Now, brother Hagin used to say
this when it comes to the gifts of the Spirit, he says, now we
separate the gifts of the Spirit for the sake of teaching.
He said, you know, many times people come to me and say, which
is the most, you know, important or powerful gift.
He says it's the one that's needed at the time.
I like that because really he was dealing with selfish and
lustful people. That wanted to function and
power but not act through the gifts and bring attention to
themselves. Because they saw brother Hagin
operate under the gifts but he wasn't trying to perform.
All he was doing was listening to the spirit that he knew would
speak the word. And he would act on that word
that then would be performed by that Spirit by the spirit are
the gift that the spirit of God gave.
So again, in when we talk about the word in the spirit, we say
this in the realm of separating for the sake of teaching, but
the word of God, Is inseparable from the holy spirit because the
holy spirit, always does the word.
Always. But the Holy Spirit, does it
perform without the foundation doesn't happen?
I said it doesn't happen. Now, other Spirits function
without the word And can perform to a degree.
This can happen. but the word itself and the Holy Spirit,
they're inseparable, And the Holy Spirit is not functioning
without the foundation of the word.
It's not going to happen. John 1:1 says it this way.
Then in the beginning was the, and the Word was with God.
And the Word was verse 14, and the word became.
What's his name? Come on, what's his name and
dwelt among us? And we saw his glory, the glory
of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth.
Again, he sent his go back to songs, 107, he sent his word So
whenever there's a issue ever in humanity, guess what, he sends
his word, you need the word on the matter.
You don't need anything else because the mini you get the
word that actually comes from the King, then the power of the
spirit is available to perform it, but if you don't have the
word, if you don't have it. Then if you're trying to gain
access to the spirit outside of the knowledge of the word,
you're opening up other doors. You're opening up other doors.
See, the synturion was known as a man of great faith.
He said, Jesus said he's in all actually, he said, wow, I've not
seen such great. Faith said, he marveled, I've
not seen such great faith. No, not in all of Israel.
Why did he say that about the Centurion?
Because the synturion said in Matthew, 8, 80 said this.
But the sure Tyrion said, Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come
under my roof. Adjust Say the word, not do some
powerful thing. Send me your spirit.
Come on now. he said, just say the word and my servant will be
because if you talk the powers there when you talk to powers
are because he's then he goes on he says because I'm a man just
like you, I'm a man under Authority in a man in Authority.
When I tell my servant to go, he goes on to tell him to come, he
come, when it's time to do this, he does it you will never
function in Spiritual Authority, if you cannot be submitted.
It's never going to happen. It's never going to happen.
I said, it's never going to happen.
It's not as long as your rebellious to any form of
submission. That's out there because there's
many forms, there's many forms, all of us are functioning in
some form of submission. Everyone in this room is under
the submission of God, we can all say that.
But, you know, how many people say?
That's the only one I'm submitted to well, that's why
you have no Authority, and that's why you're going to be
opening yourself up. Up to demonic spirits.
Because there are other authorities, you understand, if
you're married, there's this emission their wives.
You have to submit to your husband.
And if you're not willing to do that, you're not having
Spiritual Authority. Even if your submitted to God.
Now, when I say that, I'm not saying that.
If your husband says, you're never gonna go to church, you
can never read the Bible that you're like, I gotta surrender.
My husband, do you submit to God first?
But if your husband is not violating scripture, And if he
has an opinion about how to spend the money, you can still
submit. Unless he says, you can't tie,
then you can find your own table and you take care of because,
that violates God, but if he's like, we're not gonna buy this
car. We're gonna buy this one.
And you could be right, your cars better.
But you yield, how about your employer?
Submit to your manager. Are you hearing me?
What about here? Let me say this.
This is when we get in the most trouble submitting to your own
word, This is why I said swear to your own hurt because again,
some people aren't some people own their own businesses, which
means that you're going to say, you're going to do something,
right? You say, you're going to do
something and then all of a sudden, they do something to you
or whatever you like. I do, you're not submitting to
your own word. Now, you're going to lose your
Authority because the minute you don't value words, period.
Hallelujah. How about to your pastor?
at the end of the day, I understand there's abuse of this
abuse everywhere but don't act like just because there's AB,
you somewhere that everybody's being abusive But I'll even go
further than that. David King.
David? Whose anointed king still
submitted to the king? Who did have the anointing?
Because he understood the anointing and remain submitted
until God took care of the one that was off.
And you know what? It gave him power.
It caused him to conquer his enemy because he actually didn't
want to kill the one. That was trying to catch Lee
kill him. Hallelujah.
And if we can't do this kind of submission, Well then we're not
going to really be listening to the Holy Ghost.
Jesus, you've heard us say this, it Bears repeating Jesus has
always been second. He's never not been, which means
for all eternity. Since God's been, which is
always, he's never one time. Has he ever thought I want to
take Dad's thrown over? He's seated at the right hand
knot on top of daddy. He's at the right hand of the
he's never once. Save well, Lucifer couldn't take
it but I could take the throne. So, never in the godhead has
someone tried to get out of rank.
The only person who's ever tried to get out of rank, was the
devil initially and then man did.
So, the menaced submission becomes a challenge for you in
any of your relationships. Then what you're doing is,
you're hindering your ability to stay with the word and stay on a
firm foundation, which now opens you up to hearing other things.
Why do I say this? Because Acts 1:8 in the new
dispensation, this position of the church is amazing how far
we've gotten off, right? Because it says this, but Jesus.
Now Jesus says this, but you shall receive what power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my
Witnesses. Both in Jerusalem in Judea
Samaria. And even to the most parts of
the earth now, notice back over in, John, he breathed on his
disciples to receive the holy spirit, so they had the Holy
Spirit within their born again. But now he's saying now, he'll
also come upon you and he's gonna bring your power.
Meaning there are things that he's going to say hearing from
me that then he's asking you to function in and he'll bring the
power. But again, you cannot have that
power without having that word. Because again, why do you
receive power in the first place to be?
My now, Witnesses, is someone who has first?
It has an account of something specifically, again, if a
situation is going on in your kids lives, right?
And one comes in and begins to say, as you know.
So, and so said, well, you again you're trying to find somebody
else that can verify I was there.
I I heard it. I saw it.
Right. So what Jesus says, now the
reason we have power so that you can be my which means you heard
it. Because at the end of the day
outside of us, seeing a vision, Like Paul.
I was caught up into the third heaven, right?
Or an angel talking to us which in any occasion whether you
literally go into an open Vision where you see things in the
spirit or whether an angel stands in front of you.
You see it in all aspects. It's still waiting to hear
something. And it's when you hear that
you're supposed to stand on that word and the word you here has
to be in line with the word bury it.
The word of God but so many people just want Power.
Power. This is why there's so many
occults out there because again, they want Power.
They want to function in power. See, Moses have this challenge
when he first came as the voice of God to Pharaoh.
Because what did he tell? What had God tells Moses?
He said, you will be God to pharaoh and Aaron's going to be
your profit. Now, how can Aaron even be a
prophet? Cause he says, because you don't
think you talk. Well, you're gonna tell Aaron
and then Aaron's going to tell Pharaoh Aaron.
Don't talk if he hasn't heard the word from Moses.
This is why the word is, the foundation of everything we do.
It's got to be our first love. It's what we got to love the
most Jesus even rebuked the church.
He said, you've lost your first because you know what?
They've quit loving the word. We got to be people who love the
work when you love the word, then the whole godhead is opened
up to you and the kingdom of God is opened up to you because all
you want is the word. Because here's the thing, at the
end of the day, if you do the word and I do, The word then we
are going to have perfect unity and walk in perfect love and no
other power has to even dim and he demonstrated these things
that happened super naturally offered to gain people's
attention for what purpose so they can be hearers.
And doers of the word, what did James say, he said, be what
doers of the word not workers of the miraculous?
Now, that doesn't mean you won't worth the miraculous when you
are doers of the word, but your priority has to be.
I'm a word person. This is what I loved about
brother Hagin, because he would get cornered on so many
occasions, and his son has testified to this and his
grandson has testified at this that when people began to come
to him and basically, you're trying to manipulate him for a
word. He would say, what does the
Bible say? Because he was a lover of the
word. Love of the word.
Why is this important? Look at Matthew 7:21.
I'm going to show you this in a way you've probably never seen
it. Matthew 7:21 227 because the
kingdom Foundation is the word Heaven and Earth will.
But my Will never pass away. Right, he said, I will fulfill
my word. I will cross every T and Dot
every i--. Right, my word shall not return
unto me. Okay.
He said, not everyone who says, to me.
Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does who, what does the will of my father?
Who is in heaven? Now, how do you do the will of
God, he gives you his word and you, that's it.
Many will say to me on that day, Lord Lord did not, did we not
what do we do and how did they prophesy?
They used his name They used his name.
Didn't we prophesy in your, in your name?
What do they do? In your name.
Perform? What?
What do they do? Whoo.
It miracle workers in the name of Jesus and now, look, what
Jesus is going to say. Then I'll declare to them.
I never knew you. Oh my, it's getting quiet.
Don't let it get quiet. He said, then I declare them.
I never knew you depart from me, you who practice, which tells me
they were able to tap into a spiritual realm, you think the
name of Jesus? And yes, something other than
the Holy Spirit was working. Now, why do I know this?
Let's go look at what he goes on and says this.
Therefore everyone who hears these come on now these what
come on these? What words of mine and acts on
them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the
now. Notice how he just goes right
into this conversation, he sent out a foundation.
As you got to be a lover of the word, that all you care about is
no one the word. That's all you care about.
You love the word and when I say
that, that means you actually love the king.
Because again, Jesus is the word.
You can't love the Holy Spirit more than Jesus.
This is where Pentecostal and charismatic churches get off
because they love the working of the spirit.
More than they do the word. And this is where churches that
and I'll get to it here in a minute.
They will have scripture but they will not allow the spirit
to move. Right man.
Because again, what are they trying to do?
Because their concerns some other Spirit would move and a no
other Spirit can move separate from the word of God.
If it's the word of God, cause when the word of God's
functioning, the holy spirit's functioning What did Jesus say?
He said that if a man's child came to him and asked for bread,
would he give him a stone? And he goes you know he gives an
example, he said and if you being evil know how to give good
gifts, how much more shall the Holy Spirit?
Give you or the father, give you the spirit.
Now again, it's according to his Why is the holy spirit?
Even get Jesus out of the Grave because he spoke it.
He said in three days, I'll come up.
So the Holy Ghost got got to go get him.
If Jesus said, I'm coming up into, guess what?
Holy Ghost would have been into because I didn't Holy Ghost
going to Did he not have power to raise him up in the second
day? You know, I powder raise him up
on the first date. Sure, he did.
Why didn't he come on the fourth because he's not late?
He said there's an appointment, the word is spoken.
I'll be there, I got a sec, three days, the Holy Ghost, a
stress, and he's drinking coffee on the great top.
Just hold on. No problem.
No issue. You know?
No stress. There was no stress in heaven.
Nobody stressing out only gonna sister, right, but got 12 more
hours. I'll be there in 12 hours.
Amen. Why cause the holy spirit's come
perform? The work but it says therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them, may be
compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock and the
rain fell and the floods came and the winds and the winds, and
the winds, and the winds blew and slammed against the house
and it did not fall for it. Have been on what on What, who
is The Rock? Who's the chief Cornerstone?
It's why you gotta found your life on the word.
Are you hearing me? But look what he says in verse
26. Everyone who hears these words
of mine and does not act on them.
Will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, the floods came and the the what and the what
and the what winds blew and slammed against the house.
And it fell and great was the fall.
Now I'm gonna show you something you've probably never seen
before, okay? In the Bible, we see in Genesis
chapter 2, when God made Man In His Image corn, his likeness.
He made him out of the Dust of the earth.
Leave that up there for a minute.
He breathe on him, the breath of life and he became a Living
spirit, right? Jesus then in John chapter 21
when he tells them to receive the Holy Spirit.
What did he do? He breathed on them.
Then, when the Holy Spirit came upon them on the day of
Pentecost, it said he came in like a mighty rushing wind.
So wind has been associated with The Holy Spirit.
But you know what? There other Spirits could it be
that he is saying here in this that when your word when the
worst founded, when the rain comes, that's things of, you
know, in the earth when there's natural challenges and issues.
But when winds come, when seducing Spirits, when other
voices, try to blow into your mind.
When you're on the Rock, they won't penetrate cause you're
like that ain't of God, that's not what the word says.
That's not how the character of God, if that's not how the
spirit of God would respond. Because the word says, this is
how he is. But the one who doesn't have
their house, founded on the word of God, when the winds blow,
Wendy's, familiar, spirits, come and these other things begin to
talk to us. Well, guess what we're
entertaining and it means great is the fall.
While the only person reason why a Believer can fall in the first
place is because they're not founded on the word.
Not on it. I mean we have word and spirit
conferences. We have Holy Ghost meetings, we
have all these things everybody that wears the Miracles it's
like we have a lust For miracles. when I have the king,
And where I go to Kinko's and whatever the king says is all
that matters, the king walked into a place called the pool of
Bethesda. Where there are sick people
everywhere. This guy is Anointed of God with
the Holy Ghost. I mean power from Heaven exudes
from his being yet. He goes to one man.
Left the rest, their love walked on the porch.
Because he didn't come onto the porch to perform.
He came onto the porch to do exactly what he heard, the
father say. And there was one man. that he
said, you go talk to And you go Hill and then leave the porch.
Jesus gets in front of King Herod and was King Herod say woo
show me something bro I've heard about you show me something.
What the word do? What's the word full of power?
Was a full? Was the word anointed of God?
Look how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth.
Who went around doing good. And healing all who were
oppressed of the devil, was he kicking the devil's?
But in all kind of regions was he casting out Devils Healing
The Sick. Raising the dead.
Now, he's standing in front of the King King Herod.
He says, come on. Show me something.
He's like, In essence, the word never has to prove his power.
Because he is power. So, he's never in the position
of having to show off. Nor performing Kenneth E, Hagin
talk to a when the miracle revivals were going on in the
earth, you know, 30s 40s, and 50s during the healing revivals.
There was one particular prominent Minister and I can't
tell you his name off the top of my head right now.
So Mike, if y'all remember anybody gets it, just shout it
out. Okay?
But anyway, he went to him and he said, listen.
He says you. Are building your ministry on
the gifts and all the word fact he told most of The Minister's
is at a different time. Don't build your ministry on the
gifts, you build it on the word. He said, if you don't do this
then I'm going to be here long after you're gone and he allow
outlasted all of them. Secondly, he said one to one
very specific Ministry says he says one night you're here in
the Holy Ghost, the next night, you're entertaining, Spirits
unit familiar spirits, you need to quit it.
And this is what the minister said I have to because the crowd
expects me to perform. Hey Alan.
Hey, Alice Ministry went They left.
Why? Because he wanted the people to
think he Had the power of the boy.
Hey bro. You He-Man people out there See,
when you're confident in the word, you just come out and do
what the word says. Period.
Because you're not there to do anything else.
If the word wants you to talk, you talk.
If the word wants you to you know, lay hands on someone, so
they're healed, you do that. If the word wants you to
prophesy you prophesied the word wants you to give a word of
knowledge. You do that by the spirit but
you do nothing outside of that. I never come off the platform
ever feeling like something else should happen.
Because I'm not here to show you the power that God gave me.
Because there's any power that shows up is only because God
wanted to do it that day. Now, why do I say this?
Well, because problems happen when we don't love the word for,
this is why I don't understand. Let me just say it, this way,
this is why aggravate church had become one of a very strong
Church in the Earth. Because when I tell pastor Don
night, wow, your people seem to be so engaged in connecting A.A.
What it, what are you doing? And I said, you're not gonna
like my answer. I tell them every you're not
gonna lie, my answer, I'll come on now.
Seriously. Tell me.
I said well we actually Read the Bible.
This is why I have a Bible, reading plan.
Now, listen, if you're a person who has a hard time reading, you
need to learn how to read, it's a cop-out for you.
Not to learn how to read, Smith Wigglesworth was illiterate.
And yet, God was able to turn on his mind.
That the only book, The Man read was the Bible and he loved the
word. So again, when you love the
word, think yes, miracles, signs and wonders can follow you and
will follow you. But the question is is how many
do you have to have? For you to feel validated
because if there's something that has to be happening all the
time with you, well, guess what? You don't love the word anymore.
because here's the thing, when we read scripture, we have
Consolidated accounts. You don't know time frames that
have gone by. Now I get it.
The crowds follow Jesus and and Lux Lux admin, if we are John
man, if we wrote everything that Jesus did, I don't even know if
we could get enough books, I get it.
I understand that, I realize that, but here's the thing,
you're not Jesus. Now you're in Christ and you're
part of the body, which means when you do your part, I do my
part, you start putting all of our things together that God
uses Us by the spirit to do some very Supernatural things.
We guess what we're doing a whole lot.
Not together. But people want to be the one
doing it. Oh, they're not lovers of the
word. Emma, tell you, it can happen to
the best of you turn over to John, Luke chapter 9, Luke
chapter 9. This is why I'm preaching this
because, you know what? As much as I've God is opening
up opportunities for anchor, Faith Church as a congregation.
To impact in not the city and patination influence the word
world, we no matter how large we ever get and no matter how many
miracles get performed if we will not be adamant to love the
word. Then there's a problem.
And as your pastor, I have one assignment to keep pointing you
to Jesus, which is the same thing.
The Holy Spirit does because I'm not impressed with your tongue.
Talking. Would you Angel see you with
your so-called prophesied? I'm not impressed with none of
it. I don't give a rip, don't care,
I don't care. I mean, nothing's impressive
why? Because if anything's actually
happening it was God anyway. And it sure what you and if I
don't even see some kind of thankfulness Or layers of
submission happening that. I know you're entertaining
something else and it happened in the fulfilling of the days of
him taken up. He steadfastly set his face to
go to Jerusalem and he sent Messengers before his face and
he went and entered into the Villages of the Samaritans to
make ready for him. And they did not receive him
because his face was going to Jerusalem and seeing his
disciples James and John. Now, there were three That's all
things more than the other. James, John, and who.
So this is the top three people, two of the top three James, and
John said, Lord. Do you desire that we command
fire to come down from heaven and consume them even as Elijah?
Do you know what they've read about the worse of Elijah?
They know his exploits. They know he did.
So you know what took place in them right now the lust To be
like the Prophet Elijah because you know, it's been prophesied
that the spirit of Elijah is coming.
Before the king comes, the spirit of Elijah is coming.
The spirit of Elijah is coming to Spirit of Elijah is coming
now. You know, Jesus said now, if you
know, just feared Elijah was actually John the and you know
what's about John? The Baptist he performed
Miracles, not a dog on want them raise.
Nobody from the dead. Did not prophesy one doggone
bit. He did not cast The Devil out.
He had the greatest honor and if that Jesus called him, the
greatest Prophet, the greatest Prophet, who did the least
miraculous, What did he do? Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven
is at hand. He became the prophet who Harold
the Kings. Hear the Kings, hear the Kings,
hear the Kings. Hear the Kings hear the Kings
here, all he had was a word and God said, man, he's the best
profit that's ever been on the planet.
Wow. But these boys wanted to be like
Elijah. Again, you've heard me say,
everybody wants to be Elijah Elijah.
Nobody wants to be Jeremiah. but I want to be Jeremiah Where
everything you say nobody listens and receives, right?
But again, you're talking to a rebellious place where
everybody's a rejected God. And you're the only one who's
actually obeying, we're not in that, dispensation Now, there
will be a great default in a way, don't get me wrong, but
there's going to be a church that's going to be called up
that's going to be without spot or wrinkle.
And man, if your people of the word then you can say we going,
we here and we love the word so he says, listen we deserve look.
Do you desire that we command fire to come down from heaven
and consume them even as Elijah. So again, they read the Bible,
they read the Scrolls, they read the scripts, they know God can
do this. And this is where a lot of
people do. They know what God can do.
And then they want to work what God can do without being
authorized to do it in the situation cause they're not
waiting on a and look what he says verse 55.
But he turned in. What did he do?
Rebuke them and said you do not know so that tells me the devil
knows what the prophets did. Other Spirits know what, the
prophets did going to hear me. They obviously know because
they're half of them are the ones being cast out by the
prophets. Because it's not like the
prophets, didn't know Jesus. Now why would they know Jesus?
Well because when he spoke well John 20, it isn't because the
the the demons recognized God in the skin suit.
That's not what was going. It's not like, they're like,
there he is. I see.
I see he listened, they have no idea who the guy was they've
been trying to kill kids ever since God said to the serpent.
I'm bringing my child through the Woman and there's been
children being murdered since that time because the devil been
trying to kill the seed before it comes how in the world, did
the devil's know that he was the son of God because of the word
he spoke. Because when the prophets of old
said thus saith the Lord, they knew the power of that word.
They knew the power that word and they could not resist that
and they had to obey it. And now here comes a guy named
Jesus Christ of Nazareth that when he spoke he did speak.
Peak, like the scribes and the Pharisees.
When he told all of a sudden, it sounded like Elijah and Elijah
and Moses. It sounded like the same people.
And they knew this is the Son of God right here.
Have you come to torment us before our time?
And that'll word. At a word.
Not at a shake. Not at a flop. but at a word,
the way people act, you would think that you had to be
abnormally, manifesting something for the Holy Ghost to
be there. And I, this just happened to me
recently. And when it did I'm like, I
almost get upset about be honest with you. because people like,
Because their hair raises. Right?
And all of a sudden they get goosebumps and the situation and
they associate that with the spirit, now the spirit can move
upon your body and do things. I'm not saying that it's doesn't
it won't and it doesn't because it will But as an external sign
is not always. I mean, the way some people act
you would think Jesus would have been shaking uncontrollably
while he's talking come out. you'd have thought he said, you
see that when I said come out what There's no evidence that he
did that. No, Jesus.
So in tuned with his father through the spirit, that he gets
a come out, Wow. So that tells me that if we do
not know here, That. All that matters is knowing the
word. Then I don't care how much we've
actually been with the word. We can hear a different spirit
and try to use that word to do something where God sees never
wanted us to do. And then we'll start to fall
into the category of Lord Lord. Because now, you understand,
when he says, didn't we prophesy in your name?
Didn't we cast out devils in your name?
Didn't we? Well, you know, what did Moses
hit a rock twice? With the anointed staff and get
it to flow. That's pretty Supernatural,
people. But what did the Lord have to
say about it? Moses.
You're not getting in now left. Now, getting them.
What you did. Not honor me in front of people.
You didn't do it. You didn't buy you, the word.
I told you more, I said speak to that thing.
I know last time I told you to hit it but I tell you that this
time, So, you went back on something, I said.
You hit it, didn't work and hit it again.
There was nothing, no earnings there to get the things to work,
but it's unauthorized. Because it says speak, you
didn't honor my word in front of people.
Now, who really knew that? God, Moses and Joshua.
And that was so important to God.
That he says You have just forfeited your purpose and your
assignment. So much so that no matter how
much he tried to repent, get God to let it go.
God said, most I'll do for you is take you here and I see all
that. That's the place.
That's the promised land. That's it.
That's all you're going to see. Don't talk to me again about
this. And what costing the The Miracle
Worker? What caused The Miracle Worker?
I mean, I'm talking about the guy who turned water into blood,
the guy who calls Nats to show up, who calls frogs to show up,
who calls Darkness to happen. I'm talking about the guy who
calls, oh, Red Sea to part. I'm talking about the guy who
threw who, who turned a side, the bad water into good water.
I'm talking about the guy who hit a rock once an account about
the guy because he quit loving the word.
He didn't stay on the foundation.
Go here and me. Now, why is this important for
us to talk about today? Because again, things are
blowing out there. A lot of voices are talking.
Let me tell you about familiar, spirits, familiar spirits are
accurate information. Accurate information doesn't
mean that you should be communicating.
Right, I'll give you a case in point Peter.
I mean Paul is in a city doing some things and a guy has a girl
that has an evil spirit, an unclean spirit.
Fortune telling. And they and these two guys have
made a lot of money off his girl.
Well, what is she doing? She sure ain't here in the Holy
Ghost, but if she relaying accurate information, this guy
preaches about the son of the most high for three days.
Finally, Paul says, shut up and come out.
Now why is this important? The reason this is important
because the last thing Paul needs after he establishes a
church in this area that when he does actually speak the word of
God and power manifest and the miraculous performs because
we're the preaching of the word is miracles, signs, and wonders,
will follow that if that would have happened.
Then this demonic Spirit has basically be able to get a
foothold in the community. And say, did not tell you when
Peter was it? Paul was here.
Didn't I tell you? You're right you're right.
I got something to say to you in the name of Jesus.
So, Paul has to deal with this because I'm not going to have a
demon advertise. Venture the Lord's life.
Shut that demon up. They're not advertising for my
kingdom. Because what's the Bible say
about the devil? Even the devil believe even
demons believe. Right.
Even they believe. So that tells us they know but
just because they know that me we need to get boys to what day
And so many people want to be able to tap into that thing
called a word of knowledge and a word of wisdom so bad that
they'll get familiar spirits to talk to them about other people.
And it's factual. But it's not the Holy Ghost.
The only way you can earnestly desire.
Spiritual gifts is to love the word first.
And be a doer of the word. Okay, but there's more second
Timothy chapter 1 or 4, verses 1 through 4.
Why do we say this? It says therefore I saw only
witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the judge
of the living and the dead, according to his appearance and
his kingdom and we read that verse again, so this is seek
him. Therefore, I solemnly witness
before God, this is Timothy, this is Paul talking to Timothy
before God and the Lord Jesus Christ as the father, and the
son who is going to judge the living, and the dead.
And how is he going to judge them?
Them. According to his, what
appearing, which is the manifestation of his word and
his kingdom, Then what's he telling?
Preach the word. Cuz Lord Jesus is going to judge
you. So, it's the word that she
should be after. The first thing preach.
Got to know the word and if you don't know the words, you can't
preach the word. Because the Bible says that we
are to be, this is the biggest problem with the church today
because in the United States, we've relegated Church to
lecturing and that's usually one service for 30 minutes and then
no one's actually in the world, the rest of the time.
And when they are preaching for the 30 minutes is more antidote
achill stuff, then it is actual scripture.
Notice he doesn't say perform miracles.
Move with the spirit. Now again, if you preach the
word, the others are going to follow.
I'm not saying that, but what has to be the foundation of
everything you do? I just love the word preach.
The word be instant in season out of season.
What's he say? He tells them.
He says listen study to show yourself approved unto God.
A Workman who needs not to be ashamed which means then you can
get you can be God. Be ashamed of you.
Because you're a worker, not rightly dividing.
The word of Truth. And we don't, I mean we're not
most people, most Believers are not passionate about knowing the
word and reading the word and studying the word rightly
divided. He said rightly divided because
it already implies, it can be wrongly and some of y'all been
in ministries where it was Wrongly applied.
It lets you live in your flesh and tell you Grace was, okay.
Was there to cover it? Yeah, it lets you know that you
couldn't do anything good. Anyway, you just glad you're
going to heaven. It lets you stay a victim
instead of a Victor. It empowers you and your
victimhood, right? Hallelujah.
Thank you, Lord, preach the word be instant in season out of
season reprove rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and
Doctrine. He's not what he says, for Tom
will for a time will be when they will not endure sound
Doctrine. Well, if it's not sound
Doctrine, then what kind of Doctrine is it?
Alright, but they will Heap to themselves Heap to themselves
teachers, according to their own, which means that I want to
hear the person who tells Me, I can be what I want to be.
And let me tell you, YouTube has helped that process, there are
so many profit junkies out there.
Teacher junkies out there. I mean, they all doing this that
and the other and you just Heap, I mean, whatever you want, you
going to find But guess why you get it cause of lust?
That's the route. I want to work the miraculous, I
want to be known in power, I want to give a word, I want to
be used like that. Instead of, I just love the
word. I just love the word time will
come, they won't endure sound Doctrine, but Heap to
themselves, teachers himself, according to their own, lusts,
taking the air and they will turn away their ears.
From the turn away means when the truth talking to them their
life. And they'll go talk to somebody
else. They'll leave sound churches for
unsound churches and yet say they're doing the works of God.
I mean the Bible says this which means this is going to happen,
people are going to do this. So don't be surprised when
there's someone, you know that you thought If Jesus would not
have rebuked John, and James that day, and John and James
love Jesus. More than the exploits of
Elijah. Why were the boys James and John
able to stay? Because they took the correction
of the word and rebuke them for want to do something
Supernatural? And they'll turn away their ears
from the truth and will turn to what myths that is about
progression. Let's go on.
Look at First Timothy First, Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, it
says this, but the spirit explicitly says that in the
latter times, some will fall away from the faith.
Paying attention paying attention, paying attention,
paying attention paying attention.
They are so engrossed. In these other voices, these
winds that are blowing through their minds.
And they're accurate factual. Because when the unclean spirits
been on someone, it follows them, it knows everything about
them, in knows what they wear. It knows how they think and
knows what they ate last week and they can inform you.
Sure can. And why do they cause they're
paying attention? They're paying attention.
They want to hear everybody,
that tells them how they can. I mean, you understand, there's
people that have schools of the prophets.
Now, I understand the Old Testament had that.
And why did it? Because I don't know.
Any only came on the prophet priest and King and thank God.
There was a school of the Prophet that a major profit
could teach Minor Prophets. How to actually hear God.
Even ones that I were not hearing God anymore.
Like Eli. Save me.
Why you keep coming? Go to bed Samuel.
I didn't call you go to bed Samuel, Samuel.
Hmm, I remember that. Once there was a boy that talk
to me. You know what you hear that
voice again, say Here I Am Lord. Because he lies like because Am
I Wrong? My not correcting my sons.
My not upholding the words around my boys.
In the way, they were living in the temple and the things they
were doing with women. In the things they were doing
with the sacrifice of cuz I didn't hold them accountable to
the word but I let them go because they were my bullies, I
lost the capacity to hear God. Maybe God's talking to Samuel.
Sure enough. He talked to him and Sammy gets
up and Eli said now, what did the Lord say?
And don't you hold anything back from me because whatever he told
you, if you don't tell me, it's going to come on you and Sam you
had to fear the lord, even at that age and he said, this is
what he said. And he goes Yep.
That's the voice of God. Sakura.
But in this dispensation we all have the Holy Ghost.
Because God is like, I'm done with you.
Having to go to somebody and be only dependent on their ability
to rightly divide. Now, that doesn't mean you don't
have to go to somebody because he puts the fivefold ministry to
equip the Saints. But what he did for you is like
don't just take what they say, cause they say it study what
they say. So that you verify, what they
said was from me. And when you realize it was from
me, did you take it? Like, I spoke to you personally
about it. So every one of us have an
advantage now to hear the Holy Ghost, which means if you come
prophesy unto me, I'm very cordial anyway.
You know, people come prophesied of me way too many times, you
know, I'm cordial. You know, go say what's this?
I realize well maybe they're trying to here.
Maybe they're trying to here right at the end of the day.
If it doesn't resonate with me, I throw the crap out anyway
because that's what it is. Crap is done.
It's not the word of God. Period.
And you always seem added, some people just jockey to try to
give you a word. All the dang Tom All the time
and you're like Lord. I'm praying for him.
Why? Because they're falling into the
passion translation, says that this, they're paying attention
to see. Even this evil spirits and
doctrines of demons of passion says that this way the Holy
Spirit explicitly revealed. At the end of this age, many
will depart from the true Faith. One after another, why they're
devoting themselves to spirits of deception and following demon
inspired Revelations. And theories.
You know what if they just would have stayed with the word?
It's what I call the choke conspiracy.
The Bible lines out with the word, the word was sown among
thorns and the deceitfulness of riches, right?
The cares of life, but notice the riches itself comes by
following the word anyway, and they wanted riches more than
they wanted the word that actually bring riches.
So, it's one of the greatest deceptions is that, if you just
stay with the word, you could could be used by the spirit and
do when it, you get it. Whenever and it would be God
anyway. When I was in Mexico as
Pentecost and I knew that the Lord wanted me to pray for them
to have a Kings anointing. A fresh anointing with a
revelation because you know, when the spirit comes upon you
and come upon you, again, you can be being filled is what that
means. But I also know in certain
countries that they gravitate to people.
So in the service, I said, I can have you come down and lay
hounds hands on every one of you for the Kings anointing.
And most people do that. Why?
Because they want to touch them. That way, when the power comes
and people see it. They'll be known as one who has
power. So I always say Lord.
Can I just do it open? Because when he falls, then they
can't say I did it. Now if he tells me no touch
them. I'm just, you know, because I'm
going to obey the voice of the Lord.
But I'm always looking for God, a more of a general response, if
possible. Because in certain places, I
know they gravitate to people and that's the last thing you
want is for them to gravitate to people.
I remember one time God used me in the miraculous, craziest
thing when I was in Nicaragua, some of you have never heard
this, but some have I was preaching.
We were preaching the kingdom of God.
We were leasing it for the first time, and we were in outside
auditorium, right? There's no walls, just attend
roof. The men are out there.
No air conditioning, right? We just preaching all of a
sudden, it started raining. And again, I was preaching
without a Michaels. They only had one and they
really didn't need to not hear my voice as much as they need to
hear The Interpreter at the end of the day, because I was
speaking English, He speaking Spanish, and I'm speaking, I'm,
I'm preaching. But now this, you know, they can
hear me because I'm loud anyway, and but the rain was coming
down. So loud that you really couldn't
hear any of us, and I never forget in my spirit, the Lord
said tell the rain to stop. Now, I'm thinking about the
rain, I'm preaching, but it hit, and I said, in the name of Jesus
rain stopped and then I just kept preaching, like I never
even said anything. Now, the overseer of that area
mention how many were on that mission trip with me?
Anybody but my wife, anybody else and maybe in the back
because there's some people here that were with me, anyway, we
will pray in our, you know, Minister this and all of a
sudden that Minister the the overseer says he's lost Lost
him. He's talking to whether right.
In two minutes, it was stopped. Stopped.
And then all of a sudden, it's kind of like pandemonium Because
it stopped now we left. I came back another time and for
whatever reason those in Nicaragua always got our flight
with Spirit wrong. We would tell them.
We're coming in on Monday at 1:00 a.m. the for whatever
reason they would think. That would be later on the next
day and they would not want to show up.
So we've been stranded at the airport on more than one
occasion this particular time we were.
And so the Sunday, I was supposed to be there.
Saturday, I think it was, we weren't really coming into a
Sunday, there's a group there that had come and why I want to
hear from the man who calls the rain to stop.
When I first and foremost, I didn't stop the rain.
I only said what God Said. But this is what people do.
This is the danger of work in the miraculous, which again, if
you actually study Jesus life, he quit it. because when people
only wanted his miracles, I'm done, The only reason I gave
these miracles in the first place because you would hear
what I say but since you don't hear not, I'm saying I'm
definitely not giving any miracles.
So the passion says the Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed
that at the End of the Age meaning will depart from the
true Faith. One after another devoting
themselves to spirits of deception and following demoness
by Revelation and Theory. Let me say this is some older
people in here. Maybe God's done with you.
In the realm of working of Miracles.
Maybe he just wants you to Mentor a younger generation.
And just really instill in them. The hunger for the word.
I'm not saying that I'm just saying.
But what if your Obadiah and your your one chapters done?
Could you be satisfied that you just know the word?
Love the word and Inspire other people to know the word and yet
the Miracles you performed earlier that God used you in at
a different time, he's not necessarily going to want to do
that with you anymore cuz he's using others in the body.
You bet your in the same body and it's God getting the glory.
Anyway. What if you never speak in
tongues again and interpret it in an open mic?
Could you still just love the word?
Now, I'm not saying that, I mean God, use Caleb, I get it.
But I'm just saying, could you handle that?
And if you can't, you're susceptible.
I'm trying to safeguard you let's read second, Peter,
chapter 2 verse 1, you ready? Can we do speed round you?
All right, we're going to speed round in the past there.
Rose false prophets among people God's people just as there will
continue to be false teachers who will secretly infiltrate
your mitts to divide you bringing them bringing with them
their destructive heresies. They will even deny the master
who paid the price for them being Swift destruction on
themselves. Many will follow a moral
Lifestyles because Of these corrupt false teachers.
The way of truth will be slandered, they are own are only
out for themselves ready to exploit you for their own gain
through their cunning arguments. Their condemnation has been a
long time coming, but their destruction does not Slumber or
sit idly by 4. It is sure to come they now
don't forget, God has no pity. For I get to verse 4 notice.
They're going to be in the camp within churches.
And again when it says that they are, you know, doing live.
Styles to bring for their own exploits.
They are wanting to be known as the powerful, whatever.
He said, don't forget verse for God has no pity for the Angels
when they send, but through them in the lowest darkest dungeons
of Gloom and lock them, in change where they are firmly
held into the Judgment of torment.
And he did not spare, the former world in the days of Noah.
When he sent a flood to destroy a depraved World, although he
protected no of the preacher of righteousness, along with seven
members of his family. And don't forget that he reduced
to ashes. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah
commending, condemning them to ruin and destruction.
Got appointed them to be Examples as to what is coming to
the ungodly. And that is a New Testament,
scripture of an action, that happened in Old Testament
Community. He goes on and says yet hearing.
He rescued a righteous man lot suffering.
The indignity of the unbridled lust of the Lawless for
righteous lot lived among them day after day distressed in his
righteous Soul by the rebellious deed.
He saw and heard if the Lord Yahweh rescued lat he knows how
to continually rest, rescue The Godly from their trials.
In the reserve. The ungodly for punishment, on
the day of judgment and this Especially applies to those who
live their lives, despising authorities, and who abandon
themselves to chasing the depraved lust of their flesh.
They are willingly, arrogant and insolent.
Unafraid to insult, the Glorious ones.
Meaning they will talk bad about the pastor.
Saints. Just a prop up their Ministries.
Yet even angels who have are greater than they and power and
strength. Do not dare slander them before
the Lord. These individuals are nothing
but brute beasts. Irrational creatures born in the
wild to be caught and destroyed and they will perish like these.
They are professional insulters who slander whatever they don't
understand in their destruction, they will be destroyed.
This is why you got to be very careful when you start talking
about other Saints and especially the fivefold
ministry. I don't care if you're right.
Those angels aren't even talking about it.
Around the water tank in heaven. All right.
Verse 13, for all the evil they have done, will come crashing
down on them. Now, notice, you don't see this
immediately. Why?
Because they're prophesying in his name.
They're casting out devils in his name.
It looks like their full power. But God knows.
God always knows. They consider it their great
pleasure to Corral's and broad daylight.
When they come to your love, Feast they are but stained and
blemished. Reveling in their deceptions as
they Feast with you, they are addicted to adultery.
Now I'm not talking sexual immorality.
I'm talking about the adultery to be able to be under the
influence of familiar spirits. So that they can tell everybody
thus saith the Lord, I got a word for you.
Stand up, David. David had a word for a person in
our church. He said pastor, I got to work
for someone. Can I give that to them?
I said no. Not at this time.
And he still hadn't given that word.
Because even if you have a real word, it does not mean that you
should give that word. Or you should be the one who
gets that word. Because he's not the overseer of
this flock. so, when somebody starts coming to you to give you
a word, You might need to say, well, who else knows that you
given this word? Now you say well, Pastor oh, we
can't give away unless we ask, I'm just saying that's some
pretty good protocol. Or at minimum, come back and say
Pastor, I've since the Lord wanted me to give a word to
someone, I did, and I want you to be aware of it.
You know why, you know, how many people have been damaged by
wrong words? I mean, it's easy to give a word
and not be responsible for the flock. prophesy to your heart's
content over, everybody be like an Absalom stand at the gate and
give the words that I don't give Because most of words you're
giving off from God anyway. And really by most people that
are actually given people worse aren't even actually words from
God, they're just actually encouragement.
It's called edification but tomb often we mistaken that we think
oh, we're giving them action word from God.
When the reality is you're really just encouraging you be
seated, David. Thank you.
They're addicted to adultery with eyes that are insatiable
with sins. That never end.
They seduce the vulnerable and are experts in their greed.
But they, but they are children of a curse.
New people come in guess what? Somebody gravitation won't give
you a word. Why they all of a sudden
gravitating everybody who has no Foundation?
Yeah, I'm preaching. because as your pastor, I'm not going to
tolerate it. And you know what, just like
God, he's long-suffering. He's merciful with people, he's
patient with people, but there comes a time that you can cross
along and you're out. You're gone.
Yep, because you've quit loving the word, don't love the word.
I'm telling you better have a love for the word.
You better love the word more than anything you ever loved.
Because heaven and Earth shall pass away.
But guess what's not his word and the spirits with his word
and if you're not with the words and you're not with the spirit,
this is why I'm always confused at.
Why Saints don't come to church but they willfully don't want to
be under the word Our 1st say, well, you know, wow, we had a
real service today because the Holy Spirit move like it wasn't
a real serious when we preach the word.
Man, we had church today the pastor didn't preach.
No, you didn't. If the pastor had preached some
time you probably couldn't have that service.
Because we fantasize we won't fantasies about God, but that's
when you're starting to pick up heresies and speaking seduced, I
mean really, you just want to be, you know, Harry Potter,
let's just be it. Let's admit it.
You under you want, you have no idea how many people were
operating in witchcraft. They're what they're operating
in Witchcraft and use in Jesus's name and his word and his
scriptures. Because my teacher James, and
John, you gonna give me the scripture about Elijah right
now. And act like I'm about to be
impressed. No, I'm rebuking you, because
you don't even know what Spirit gave you that scripture.
Could you so illiterate in your knowledge of the words?
You don't, you know what? Spirit gave you the scripture,
the devil use scripture on Jesus.
This is why the body of Christ is doing so bad right now
because we're so illiterate to the thing.
We supposed to love the most. want to prophesy every service,
want to have people laid out every service on people running
around every service, won't people laugh and every service
We had a holy ghost meeting. Holy Ghost meeting.
You had no Holy Ghost nothing because the holy ghost that you
created to be that repetitive Jesus didn't even do the same
thing with the Holy Spirit everywhere.
Know what they doing is they're using, I'm telling you, okay?
All right, they have wandered off the main road.
They've gone astray because they are prophets who love Prophet
the wages that earned by wrongdoing.
Now, some are after the money they are following the example
of Balaam. The son of this guy who was
rebuked for Evil by Donkey incapable of speech yet with
that yet that spoke with human voice and restrained, the If
it's Madness, you're not be people have gone mad because
they just want to be used of God and the supernatural.
They've gone mad, you've seen him, right?
They've gone mad, you're like What are you doing?
Can I say this? If I'm in here for prayer, don't
come and give me a word. Because number one, I'm in
prayer. You don't, you know, I can't
even come to morning prayers anymore.
Which is June tomorrow. So we will not have morning
prayer tomorrow on Thursday call.
We're moving it back to Wednesday.
But you know, I can't even come and pray.
My own corporate prayer anymore because congregation members are
coming up talking to me. So why you don't see me in
morning prayer? I go to my office.
I can't even corporate pray bone church not because people are
trying to prophesy every time. I'm not saying that I'm just
saying, you know, you start engaging conversation, this is
prayer. Let me pray.
I like to pray to. This is not a scheduled meeting
with you that Jan setup. Jan does not schedule me
meetings at six a.m. nor at 9:30 on Sunday morning.
But somebody wants to give me a word, give the whole church of
word word, word word. I mean, the Pastor Marcy's up
here, then go to her. She's doing the service.
If you got a real word then let her know and she'll let you know
whether there is I know, I got to stop these.
People are dried up verse 17, riverbeds, waterless, clouds
pushed Along by story, wins wins.
There's that word, again, the deepest darkness of Gloom have
been prepared for them. They spout off with grandioso,
impressive nonsense consumed with the lust of the flesh, they
lower back and it's in those who recently escaped from their
error, somebody just got out finally free.
And then they gonna go over there and give them a word and
get them back in it. Because they are entertained
this familiar spirit that used to hang out with them when they
were in their sin and then you bring it back to him, but they
let me tell you this. If anybody ever tried to bring
something back to you that you've had, you have the
authority in the name of Jesus. You stand in that Authority and
it can't come around you because you are the one that has the
authority of your own house. Period, only the devil tried to
bring up your past. So you saying the name of Jesus
is dead. It's under the blood and I'm
free from that and you free from that, you free.
Hallelujah. Amen, they promised others
Freedom yet themselves. They themselves are slaves to
corruption for, people's are slaves to whatever, overcomes
them, those who escaped, the corrupting forces of this world
system, through the experience of knowing about our Lord, Jesus
Christ, Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Messiah, then go back and
into entanglement with them and are defeated by them become
worse off than when they started.
It would have been much better for them.
Never to have experienced the way of righteousness than, to
know it and then turn away from the sacred obligation that was
given to them. They become illustrations of the
true proverb, a doll will return to his own vomit and a wash pig
to its wrote to its rolling in the mud.
Every word we ever heard and acted on outside of being me and
being born again, had a spirit attached to it anyway.
Now when I say that I'm not talking that it's like right
there, I'm just saying that the enemy is working.
Other words deception lust, all those things have to
relationships, we were in have two things we did, why?
We were deceived by another voice because we were under our
other father, the devil who was a tyrannical ruler and he abused
us with words. He told us how great we would
be. How much it would feel good.
How better it with Escape? It was all that stuff.
It was just a deception but the minute we got under the word
Then we were freed from that and now we get on mine renewed to
though the word of God. As long as we're in the word, in
the word, in the word, in the word, in the word, it is a
repetitive seemingly boring occasion, but its necessary,
because Jesus Christ is the word.
It's the only thing that can keep you pure be close with this
passage Psalms 119, man. You should read the whole
Psalms. Psalms 119 is priority.
No, where's David? Like just show me miraculous
things. He's like, man, I need you.
Where he said, how can a young man?
Keep his way, pure by, keeping it, according to your word, with
all my heart, I have sought you do not.
Let me Wander from your Commandments, your word.
I have treasured in my heart that I might not sin against
you. You can't treasure the moves of
the spirit in your heart and stay sinless.
You can't treasure the moves of the spirit in your heart and
stay sinless. You will become deceived because
the only foundation by which the spirit actually moves is the
word. This is why.
And there's Grandma graduates here today, they can testify.
There are people who came to Rhema, Bible training college
with one intent, selfish ambition to be the next.
Great prophet, Apostle, whatever worker of miracle in The Healing
Ministry. They went through Rama came out,
Rhema, they're worse. It's not because Rhema made them
worse is because the word they heard.
They continue to reject because they just wanted to hear the
stuff that made them powerful and notice too, by the way.
World and the masses. That I'm the next Billy Graham.
I'm the next Elijah. I'm the next super awesome.
You know, all Robert Smith Wigglesworth whomever Instead of
they taught me the word. That's what I needed to know.
And whatever happens after that, we'll to be God, be the glory.
Just God be the glory. Teach me Blessed.
Are You O? Lord teach me your statutes with
my lips. I've told of all the ordinance
of your mouth I projected the way I have rejoiced in the way
of your testimonies as much as in all riches, I will meditate
on your precepts. And regards your ways.
I shall Delight in your statues. I shall not forget your word.
the spirit explicitly says, in the last days, people will fall
away, and they'll give heed Two things that are after their own
lust. And the only way you avoid that
is that you don't care about those things.
But the word Pastor, how can I be powerful?
You love the word and you treasure it and you keep it and
you do it. You know why?
Jesus was so powerful? You know why?
Jesus was actually all-powerful? It's not because he was anointed
of the Holy Spirit, he's because he was a man who knew no sin.
And how could he be a man who knew no sin because he only did
what the father said? His number one, practice, as a
man was keeping the word. Jesus number one, practice.
And when Peter said may, it never be Jesus.
Not going to die. He said, get thee behind me
Satan for you've set your minds on the things of the devil and
not on the word of God. And I'm going to do the word of
God, because the greatest exploit that I could ever do on
this planet is keep the word. And that's why in the beginning
the crowds followed him because he raise the Dead cast out
Devils healed the sick. I mean, he done so many
miraculous things, he multiplied, bread fish, the
miraculous was happening, and by the end of the time, all they
were doing is pushing him about the miraculous and pushing him
about, want to become king. He says, I've come for one
person, do the will of my dad. I'm a man of the word.
My number one assignment is to keep that word and when he's in
the garden, pray it. He does a god.
Is there another way, but if not.
I'm going to do it. Because I'm a man who keeps your
word? So you want to be a follower of
Jesus? He'd be a door of the Lord word.
You forgive your brother, you don't walk in a fence, you don't
want bitter, you don't hold attitudes and heirs would
Saints. You don't lust after trying to
be known. You're not trying to be the next
great prophetess nights, great apostle, I'm just a person who
loves the word. I just want to be known as a man
who did the word. When you do that.
Then the rest is open. And it would be right and it'll
be the actual Holy Spirit. And as your pastor, I just want
you to be people of the word. But you know what you want.
And God knows how you acted. And if there's anything that's
outside of, I never did a miracle in my life, I don't
care. I just want the word.
If that ain't in your heart, you need to repent because the
demons waiting for you at your car.
He's going to find a word for you.
Because he knows you got luster we should probably get rid of
that today. Thank you so much for listening
