1 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,480 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,880 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,720 Now enjoy this message SO. We're going to just do a little 4 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,400 snippet tonight. Of that. 5 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,440 And so I'm going to play a little game though first, OK. 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,440 My children's meant for those who don't know me. 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,600 I'm Pastor Vanessa. I am over children's ministry 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,240 here at Anchor Faith Church and it's an honor to get to do that. 9 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,080 Also direct the preschool as well Monday through Friday. 10 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,480 So I'm going to put my plug in now because Pastor told me I 11 00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:48,120 could. We need people. 12 00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:52,190 Not just any old people. We need people that, as Pastor 13 00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:57,150 Marcy said, we if if the Lord has called us to have a private 14 00:00:57,150 --> 00:01:01,190 school and have a preschool, then he has hands that he's 15 00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:05,230 prepared in the body. And the scripture says that he 16 00:01:05,230 --> 00:01:11,390 places the members of the body where he sees fit, He sees fit, 17 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:15,030 not where we want to go. You know, I could do a million 18 00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:18,090 other things. You know, I have a another whole 19 00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:19,850 career path that I started out in. 20 00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:23,570 But you know, nothing is is more fulfilling than knowing you're 21 00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:26,890 walking right in the path that God has you in. 22 00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:30,250 So if there's somebody out in here that the Lord is laying on 23 00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:34,130 your heart to and nudging at you to go and get an application, 24 00:01:34,130 --> 00:01:37,690 then go do that and follow up with that and and put that in. 25 00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:40,890 And both both entities have positions that they're hiring 26 00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:43,650 and even through the year there's sometimes changes and 27 00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:45,730 things that'll take place where we need more. 28 00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:50,630 Our school is only going to increase and and grow more and 29 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:52,830 the same thing with the with the private school and the 30 00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:54,350 preschool. We need those positions. 31 00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:57,390 So you can certainly come and talk to me after service or any 32 00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:00,110 of the services but you can get application at guest relations 33 00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:07,750 but but come but come come be a part of of what God's doing and 34 00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:11,430 you know I get fired up about kids so I'll, I'm going to say 35 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,470 one more thing. I love Washington. 36 00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,180 And Washington's great. Elementary and high school's 37 00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:19,860 middle school's great. But if we don't invest in the 38 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:25,100 smallest beings, we don't invest in the infants and toddlers that 39 00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,260 are in the in the highest absorption rate of their brains 40 00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:33,620 and and really nurturing and caring for them and valuing them 41 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:37,260 when they're that little. A lot of times in society you're 42 00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:41,540 not valued until you are middle school or you know, or upper 43 00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:44,910 elementary or middle. Or even high school or college 44 00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:47,070 age. But the littlest beings are the 45 00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:50,790 ones who need the most care and the most teaching. 46 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:53,710 And from from the moment they walk in the preschool to the 47 00:02:53,710 --> 00:02:56,430 moment they leave, every single one of those moments are 48 00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:58,990 teachable moments. And so it is. 49 00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:01,710 It is a privilege. It's work, It's hard work. 50 00:03:01,710 --> 00:03:04,110 But anything to do in God's ministries work. 51 00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:07,150 Because it's it's a labor, it's a service. 52 00:03:07,150 --> 00:03:09,910 So that's my plug. Come see me if you'd like. 53 00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:12,870 We have an awesome team and we'd love for you to join it. 54 00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:15,070 If it's if it's God's fit for you to do so. 55 00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:16,670 But I'm going to play a little game, OK? 56 00:03:17,470 --> 00:03:20,070 Recently we did this. Pastor Tim and I were we've been 57 00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:23,670 teaching them the Nautilus kids and the our summer campers. 58 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:27,910 This year, it's been Nautilus Doors, the summer of choices. 59 00:03:28,370 --> 00:03:31,770 And so we know that the Lord said in the scripture I set 60 00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:34,490 before you, life in death. But what are we supposed to 61 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:37,210 choose life? He gives us the answer, right? 62 00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:39,930 But there's different topics with that we've been going 63 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:42,090 through with them. And this past week, we talked 64 00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:45,010 about how. We ultimately gets, we get the 65 00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:48,850 choice to choose Jesus. You know Zach, he is on the road 66 00:03:48,850 --> 00:03:53,530 that day recognized that there was a man that's different, 67 00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:56,970 that's come into the city and he was of small stature. 68 00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:01,130 We know he climbed up in the tree so he could see and hear 69 00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:04,890 Jesus, the one who had words of life and truth. 70 00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:07,690 And so he gets up here into this tree, and it changes his very 71 00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:09,880 life. And Jesus commands him to come 72 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,920 down and says I'm coming to your house today. 73 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,480 Well, his house changed that day. 74 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,279 He made the choice to choose life that day. 75 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,680 And so we've been talking about identity. 76 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,480 And The thing is identity. Our identity should be in 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,480 Christ. And the moment that Zaki has 78 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,120 chose to be in Christ, he became a new creation. 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520 So we were playing this game the other day where we were trying 80 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520 to to guess either celebrities or or. 81 00:04:35,290 --> 00:04:39,010 Bible figures and the kids had a great time with that. 82 00:04:39,010 --> 00:04:41,210 And so I thought, I'm going to let you guys do it. 83 00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:42,850 OK. So here's, here's your clues. 84 00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:44,490 All right. All right. 85 00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:50,290 This is called who or what am I? This person's I, they are 86 00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:55,290 global. They became a or who or or what 87 00:04:55,290 --> 00:05:01,450 came operational in 1978. It is highly accurate. 88 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:07,710 Its initial cost to build was $12 billion. 89 00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:15,230 It cost $750 million per year for it to operate. 90 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:20,270 No, it requires a power source to operate. 91 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:25,070 It's precise at determining location. 92 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:29,510 You got it. It's G PS:. 93 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:32,550 You need a few more clues. Now let's do the next one. 94 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:37,910 Who or what am I? I extend beyond the universe. 95 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:41,350 I've been in existence since the beginning. 96 00:05:42,470 --> 00:05:46,030 God's son Jesus left Earth so I could be here. 97 00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:50,230 I'm gonna keep going though. I know the beginning. 98 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:54,390 From the end. I am one whole but part of 99 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:59,210 three. I comfort, I lead. 100 00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:02,690 I'm always present. I'm always operational. 101 00:06:02,690 --> 00:06:05,170 I'm always ready. I'm always working. 102 00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:10,930 I am the power. I guide, and we could go on and 103 00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:13,610 on and on. So as Pastor Marcy's been in. 104 00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:19,270 The series of the Holy Spirit. Tonight we're going to talk 105 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:24,990 about the Holy Spirit and His God's navigational system. 106 00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:31,590 The GNS, I'm going to call it. Because we have the the G PS: 107 00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:36,750 that was founded in 1978 and we all are recipients of that even 108 00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:40,890 at this very moment. The lighting, the Internet, the 109 00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:46,890 phones that we use, we use GPS services on a daily basis as 110 00:06:47,090 --> 00:06:49,370 everyday humans, right? Unless we're, unless you're on 111 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:50,890 the grid. If you're on the grid, off the 112 00:06:50,930 --> 00:06:53,930 OR off the grid, I should say, then you might not. 113 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:58,690 But we all have been partaking of this particular device which 114 00:06:58,690 --> 00:07:02,570 has its great qualities. I mean, when you travel, isn't 115 00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:06,610 it a good thing to know where you are going, right? 116 00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,540 So tonight we're going to talk a little bit about what God's 117 00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:14,660 navigation or system in God's navigating system, say G&S with 118 00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:16,740 me. All right, So we're going to get 119 00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:20,020 into scripture. So GPS, we know stands for 120 00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:22,460 Global Positioning Services, right? 121 00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:26,460 And it's global. But as guys I mentioned with 122 00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:30,940 reading out those characteristics, God is beyond 123 00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:34,340 global. He transcends the universe. 124 00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:38,140 In our key text tonight, it's going to be in John 1613. 125 00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:40,380 And this is in the English Standard version. 126 00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:45,780 And it says when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you 127 00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:50,220 into all truth. For he will not speak on his own 128 00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,900 authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak and he will 129 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:58,300 declare to you the things that are to come. 130 00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:03,020 The Holy Spirit is the greatest navigator in our life. 131 00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:09,830 He will guide us into everything that we need to know in our 132 00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:12,750 life. This is a Greek word and pop up 133 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:15,870 River Mirandy might get on to me if I pronounce this wrong, but 134 00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:21,150 ha diego's the Greek word that means a leader or a guide. 135 00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:24,510 That's what this word guide means in John 1613. 136 00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:28,470 If you break down the Greek, it means leader or guide. 137 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:31,800 So. When the Lord, when we get born 138 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,159 again and we are tapped into His Kingdom, He automatically gives 139 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:42,039 us the ability to have this navigation system on the inside. 140 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:46,640 That will not steer us wrong. That will only its only purpose 141 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,080 is to guide us into what, in what all truth it in it will. 142 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,440 We're going to go on there so many things, but it will give us 143 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880 exactly what we need so that we don't. 144 00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:04,850 Go in the wrong direction. In life we can know exactly how 145 00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:08,330 we need to go about things where we need to go, when we need to 146 00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:13,330 go, how we need to go. And it life doesn't have to 147 00:09:13,330 --> 00:09:18,370 become a grand mystery for us. In fact the moment that we get 148 00:09:18,370 --> 00:09:20,970 born again the the scripture tells us that we're things are 149 00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:23,930 illuminated for us. So now that when we're born 150 00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:26,730 again and we have this the Holy Ghost that comes on the inside. 151 00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:29,010 Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, as Pastor Marcy was telling us. 152 00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:35,050 The other day we have it in us all the time. 153 00:09:35,050 --> 00:09:38,090 And as she said, we don't. This is not a kooky thing. 154 00:09:38,090 --> 00:09:42,530 It's not a a crazy thing. It's it's the Holy Spirit in us 155 00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:47,930 that we're so aware where wherever we go, the Holy 156 00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:51,690 Spirit's guiding us and we're and we're waiting and listening 157 00:09:51,890 --> 00:09:55,130 to hear what the Holy Ghost has to say in every situation. 158 00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:58,450 We're going to go now to 2nd Corinthians 1313. 159 00:09:59,180 --> 00:10:02,180 And this is Paul. He is, I'm talking to the 160 00:10:02,180 --> 00:10:04,980 Corinthian church, and there's a I'm going to read quite a bit 161 00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:06,580 here. We're going to start in verse 162 00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:08,740 one. And then there's some key things 163 00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:12,900 I'm going to point out that he points out to the Corinthian 164 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,420 church, and this is for us to it says that verse. 165 00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:17,620 Actually, I'm going to start verse 13. 166 00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:20,420 This is the third time I'm coming to visit to you. 167 00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:23,340 And as the Scriptures say, the facts of every case must be 168 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:26,300 established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 169 00:10:26,890 --> 00:10:29,570 I have already warned those who have been sinning when I was 170 00:10:29,650 --> 00:10:34,490 there on my second visit. Now again I'm warning all and 171 00:10:34,490 --> 00:10:36,250 all others, just as I did before. 172 00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:38,530 The next time I will not spare them. 173 00:10:39,850 --> 00:10:44,410 I will give you all the proof that you want that Christ speaks 174 00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,650 through me. Christ is not weak when He deals 175 00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:49,410 with you. He is powerful among you. 176 00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:52,450 Although He was crucified of weakness, he now lives by the 177 00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:56,710 power of God. We too are weak, just as Christ 178 00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:59,110 was. But when we deal with you, we 179 00:10:59,110 --> 00:11:02,270 will be alive with him, and we will have God's power. 180 00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:04,150 What power do we have on the inside? 181 00:11:05,390 --> 00:11:08,870 The Holy Spirit, examine yourself to see if your faith is 182 00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:10,230 genuine. Test yourself. 183 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:14,190 Surely you will know that Jesus Christ is among you if you have 184 00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:16,830 not. If you not, have not failed the 185 00:11:16,830 --> 00:11:19,390 test of genuine faith as you test yourselves. 186 00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:23,790 I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test. 187 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,160 Let's go on. We pray to God that you will not 188 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,440 do what is wrong by refusing the correction. 189 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,480 So here this is. You know the Holy Ghost was with 190 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,160 Jesus to give and guide him. The Paul is reminding them that 191 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000 you that I'm bringing you correction because this is what 192 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,880 Jesus taught us to do. This is the way of life and the 193 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,200 way of truth and you have power on the inside to do this. 194 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240 So he goes on, and he says, for we cannot oppose the truth, but 195 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,480 all must always stand for the truth. 196 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,680 We are glad to see us seem weak. To help show you actually 197 00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,920 strong. We pray that you become mature. 198 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,680 OK, hold on to that. Become mature says I'm writing 199 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,560 this to you before I come, hoping that I won't need to deal 200 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,800 severely with you when I come. For I want to use the authority 201 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,280 the Lord has given me to strengthen you, not to tear you 202 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 down. So he's just being kind of kind 203 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480 here and saying, listen, get your get your act together. 204 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,720 Get yourselves in the right position. 205 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,080 You kind of wandered off from the way that God had things 206 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,080 established. From you. 207 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,800 And then he gives him a final greeting and he says, listen, 208 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,960 I'm going to close my letter with these last words. 209 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,600 Be joyful, grow to maturity, encourage each other, live in 210 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,840 harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace 211 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,040 will be with you. And then he goes on. 212 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,160 The last thing he says is may the grace of the Lord Jesus 213 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,520 Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be 214 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,160 with you all. So he's reminding them change 215 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,040 your ways. Do what God said. 216 00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:55,460 Ultimately we're we're looking for some maturity here and he 217 00:12:55,460 --> 00:12:58,700 leaves them that that the Holy Spirit may be with you all that 218 00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:01,580 it may be so. Is it possible that the people 219 00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:04,740 were not operating in the Holy Spirit that they had received 220 00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:07,260 already? Not only the Holy Spirit they 221 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:09,940 received because they called upon him, but the Holy Spirit 222 00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:12,700 also that they got on the day of Pentecost. 223 00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,860 When the Holy Spirit came, it wasn't just on in them, but came 224 00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:20,020 upon them and that power that they were dude with, they were 225 00:13:20,020 --> 00:13:24,000 able to operate into. Okay, we're going to go now. 226 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,200 Go ahead and turn to Romans 8. We're going to get in there. 227 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200 This is another one of our key texts that we're going to be in 228 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,400 tonight. But see that God's navigating 229 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,160 system was always put in place in in our lives to help us grow 230 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,640 to maturity. It was designed to be not only 231 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:47,240 in us, but with us all the time. So that we would have that power 232 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,480 of God on the inside, and no matter where we go and what we 233 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:59,120 do, we walk with power. GPS again has to have its own 234 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,120 power source. It's taking, we have it to be 235 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,960 able to give out. That's the difference. 236 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,880 OK, Romans 8. The whole chapter goes into what 237 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640 our life is when it's in the spirit of God. 238 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,160 So this is living in the spirit of God, he says in verse Chapter 239 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,800 8, verse one, he says, For there is now no condemnation for those 240 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,080 who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of 241 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,240 life has set you free in Christ from the law of sin of death. 242 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,440 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not 243 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720 do, by sending his own Son and the likeness of sin of flesh. 244 00:14:36,290 --> 00:14:38,610 He goes on in verse five. Or he says, or verse four. 245 00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:41,530 It says, in order that the righteous requirement of the law 246 00:14:41,530 --> 00:14:44,810 might be fulfilled in us who walk according to the flesh, not 247 00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:48,330 according to the flesh, but according to what the Spirit. 248 00:14:48,890 --> 00:14:52,010 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the 249 00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:54,810 things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit 250 00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:59,010 set their minds on the thing of things of the Spirit. 251 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,400 He always gets us back in this mindset that we can't rely upon 252 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:10,120 what our flesh wants to do, where our flesh wants to go. 253 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,680 Because when somebody turns on navigation, if I turn navigation 254 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,880 on my phone, I'm going to put in an address and I'm going to, I'm 255 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,640 going to follow what it says, right? 256 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,580 How many of you ever used it? In a location that you may be 257 00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:30,500 familiar with, but you just didn't want to miss that one Rd. 258 00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,220 Technically, I'm probably talking to everybody's talking 259 00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,700 about Jacksonville, probably because like, when I go there, I 260 00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,580 know where everything's at. But then sometimes they've moved 261 00:15:39,580 --> 00:15:41,980 something and I'm like, I don't want to go on that wrong Rd. 262 00:15:41,980 --> 00:15:44,180 Especially when you go to St. John's Town Center. 263 00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:47,020 Like, you know what I'm saying? I know where everything's at, 264 00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,100 but you want to make sure you you don't miss that one turn. 265 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,840 So how many of you, though, have ever done that? 266 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,960 And then you've had the GPS on and then you've completely just 267 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:05,160 tuned it out or it's telling you to go somewhere And, you know, 268 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,240 sometimes it'll give you like the one route. 269 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,360 And I'll tell you, it's this many minutes, this this an hour 270 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,920 and this many minutes. But they're like, no, no, 271 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,280 there's definitely a quicker route. 272 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,360 So you go down the, you go down the little settings and you find 273 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000 out, OK, yes, I'm going to pick that one And this one has tolls 274 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000 or this one doesn't have tolls and it'll tell you. 275 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,300 You know your options. So you pick that one and then 276 00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:28,140 you pick that one and then you start driving and that's in Siri 277 00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:30,300 or whatever device you have and whatever name it is, it's 278 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,780 telling you to go a direction, but you're like, no, no, no, I'm 279 00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:35,860 not going to go that street. And so you then you keep 280 00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:37,460 turning. It tells you turn to to the 281 00:16:37,460 --> 00:16:38,860 right, you're turning to the left. 282 00:16:39,020 --> 00:16:43,140 You're not no longer following its directions. 283 00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:48,620 It the a device that was meant for you to listen to its 284 00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:53,610 directions to follow. Follow to get you to the right 285 00:16:53,610 --> 00:16:56,370 destination. You're choosing to not follow 286 00:16:56,370 --> 00:17:01,050 what it's telling you to do, and we can so easily do that with 287 00:17:01,490 --> 00:17:05,650 the Holy Spirit that's living in us every day. 288 00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:07,810 It never sleeps. He never sleeps. 289 00:17:08,410 --> 00:17:12,089 The Holy Spirit we know is a He He never sleeps. 290 00:17:12,170 --> 00:17:14,089 When we're sleeping. The Holy Spirit will be doing 291 00:17:14,089 --> 00:17:16,970 work in you sometimes. May wake you up with a dream. 292 00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:21,210 May may wake you right up with. With with something that that's 293 00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:25,170 on your heart. But we've got the Holy Spirit no 294 00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:31,290 matter where we go and we can, we can tune it out because we 295 00:17:31,290 --> 00:17:35,970 maybe have some other things that we're too busy with, You 296 00:17:35,970 --> 00:17:39,570 know, maybe we're, you know, listening to other things or. 297 00:17:40,060 --> 00:17:42,500 Getting too involved with our work. 298 00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:46,660 But see, if we get ourselves so in tune with the Holy Ghost, we 299 00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:50,220 can still do those things. And we can be aware that he's 300 00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:54,340 with us while we're doing those things, because he again is part 301 00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:56,900 of the Kingdom of God. It's the center of all that we 302 00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,300 do. It's the it's the first thing 303 00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,120 that we look to do. And so if if we learn to keep 304 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:08,080 our our GNS, our God's navigating system ready, 305 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,080 empowered on all the time, it will help us in the long run. 306 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,400 It will help us with our walk with God. 307 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,840 So let's continue on in Romans it says again verse six. 308 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,880 It says for to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set 309 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320 the mind on the spirit of life and peace. 310 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,520 For the mind that is set on the flesh as hostile towards God and 311 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,120 does not submit to God's laws, indeed it cannot. 312 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,120 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God first. 313 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,600 Nine. You, however, are not in the 314 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,200 flesh, but in the Spirit. And in fact the Spirit of God 315 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,440 dwells, where in you anyone who does not have the Spirit of 316 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,120 Christ does not belong to him. But if if Christ is in you, 317 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,200 although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit of 318 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,000 life is because of righteousness. 319 00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:00,940 If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in 320 00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:03,740 you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead also will live in 321 00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:06,340 you and your mortal, mortal bodies through His Spirit, which 322 00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:09,900 what dwells in us, it lives in us. 323 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,500 Another version of that is, it abides, right? 324 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,500 When we leave tonight, we're going to go to wherever we 325 00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:19,500 reside or abide in, and we're going to go get in our homes, 326 00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:21,460 and more than likely it'll be time to go to bed, right? 327 00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,980 Well, He lives in us. He abides us. 328 00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:28,780 He is in us with us. Can't emphasize how much we have 329 00:19:28,780 --> 00:19:32,580 to get. Understand that he's he's in us, 330 00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:35,260 right? We're in Christ and he is in us 331 00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,900 to risk. Go on, he says in verse 12. 332 00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:41,420 So then, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh to live 333 00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:43,580 according to the flesh. For if you live according to the 334 00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:45,100 flesh, what will happen? You will. 335 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,720 Die, but if by the Spirit you will put death, the deeds of the 336 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760 body, you will live. For this is a key scripture of 337 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800 this for verse 14. For all who were led by the 338 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,160 Spirit of God, or who sons of God who are sons of God, we are 339 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,160 in the shrew. Where's the sons of God? 340 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,840 And so guess what we are then led by? 341 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,870 There's that guiding again. There's that. 342 00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:13,430 There's the the navigation system that the Lord gave us, so 343 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:17,550 that we'll know where to go, we'll know how to get there. 344 00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:20,950 And then He goes on. And of course he talks about us 345 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:24,110 not receiving the spirit of slavery, but the spirit of 346 00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:27,150 adoption. And we cry ABBA, Father, right? 347 00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:31,730 And then the Spirit bears witness that we are, that we are 348 00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:34,530 children of God. Like I said, the spirit of God. 349 00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:37,850 We could talk about it and talk about it for a year and still 350 00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:41,170 not exhaust all that is with the Spirit, right. 351 00:20:42,010 --> 00:20:43,450 And so we're just stirring it up. 352 00:20:43,450 --> 00:20:45,650 We're stirring some things up. You may already know, but it's 353 00:20:45,650 --> 00:20:47,370 just bringing it back to your remembrance. 354 00:20:47,370 --> 00:20:50,930 All the meat of the word, some some Nuggets that we've been 355 00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:53,210 getting from Pastor Marcy this last five weeks. 356 00:20:53,370 --> 00:20:55,770 We want to stir those things up and make sure that they're at 357 00:20:55,770 --> 00:20:58,370 the forefront of our life so that we're applying them. 358 00:20:58,830 --> 00:21:01,990 So what, like we talked about earlier in First Corinthians, 359 00:21:01,990 --> 00:21:05,670 that we put these into practice so that we'll be in what, 360 00:21:06,790 --> 00:21:09,350 maturity. Maturity. 361 00:21:09,950 --> 00:21:11,950 And he's coming. If you did listen to Pastor 362 00:21:11,950 --> 00:21:14,470 Marcy, she talked about the glorious church he's looking 363 00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:19,230 for. And a glorious church is mature. 364 00:21:19,870 --> 00:21:24,030 It's it's putting into practice what God said in his word, and 365 00:21:24,030 --> 00:21:25,270 that's us. We get to do that. 366 00:21:25,630 --> 00:21:31,710 So let's go on or skip down into verse 26 and says likewise, the 367 00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:34,270 Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not want know what to 368 00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:37,590 pray as we ought to, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us 369 00:21:37,790 --> 00:21:39,670 with groanings too deep for words. 370 00:21:39,670 --> 00:21:43,790 And he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the 371 00:21:43,790 --> 00:21:47,670 Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes for the Saints. 372 00:21:47,670 --> 00:21:50,950 According to the Wilson, not not only do we have the helper 373 00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:56,070 that's guiding us, but if we get into any situation ever, he's 374 00:21:56,190 --> 00:22:02,190 given us the ability to be able to pray out in his language, and 375 00:22:02,190 --> 00:22:06,030 we'll be praying out the perfect will for that situation. 376 00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:11,430 I mean that that's amazing to pin the to, to have a creator 377 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:16,290 that knows exactly how he designed all of us, how he 378 00:22:16,290 --> 00:22:18,970 designed things in the original intent for them to be. 379 00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:22,970 But then to give us what we need to be able to get to where we're 380 00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:28,530 supposed to be on our journey. I mean, that's a good God. 381 00:22:29,050 --> 00:22:33,130 It's a good God that we have, that we serve, that doesn't want 382 00:22:33,130 --> 00:22:37,650 us to have any deficit. You know, a GPS system has to 383 00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:42,430 continually have upgrades, right? 384 00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:46,910 You know, it's probably been about 12 to 15 years somehow. 385 00:22:46,910 --> 00:22:49,950 This is before smartphones, You know, smartphones of course were 386 00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:55,710 in in the works and and all the GPS started in 78, which was 45 387 00:22:55,710 --> 00:22:58,070 years ago. We know that it was behind the 388 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:59,950 scenes being built even long before that. 389 00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:03,710 It takes many, many years for the, for all of those things, 390 00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:06,150 NASA and all the different scientists to come up with these 391 00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:07,270 things. So those have been in works for 392 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:11,600 years. But before smartphones I had, I 393 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,680 believe the brand was like a Garmin and it was like a 394 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,280 navigation. I don't even know how we got it, 395 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080 but we had it in the car. We took a couple of Rd. trips 396 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,760 and the kids were younger and we used it a few times. 397 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,280 But then all of a sudden it stopped working and it stopped 398 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,400 working because we had to pay for an upgrade. 399 00:23:31,150 --> 00:23:34,150 It no longer you you couldn't. It wasn't like our phones where 400 00:23:34,150 --> 00:23:37,070 we plug them in and we get the the next iOS or whatever the 401 00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:40,110 update is. Back then you had to pay even 402 00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:43,190 more for your upgrades and we're like weigh in. 403 00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:46,870 Is this even worth it for us? You know, at that point I was 404 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:50,710 fine with just using a paper map, Kind of fun to do that 405 00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:52,470 right? Just going on an adventure. 406 00:23:52,830 --> 00:23:55,750 So it wasn't worth it. In fact, it just stayed in the 407 00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:58,430 glove compartment box for a few years and I think we finally 408 00:23:58,430 --> 00:24:01,330 just threw it away because it wasn't worth anything to us 409 00:24:01,330 --> 00:24:03,890 anymore. It would not pull up that it was 410 00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:08,690 so outdated because it didn't stay with the current Rd. 411 00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:10,930 systems and all the upgrades and everything. 412 00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:14,370 And so we just wind up not using it anymore, right? 413 00:24:14,530 --> 00:24:16,330 We can't do that with the Holy Ghost. 414 00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:22,690 We put ourselves in danger. If we do that with God's 415 00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:28,090 navigation system, we put ourselves in danger of the 416 00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:31,370 Corinthian church and then it here to the in Romans where he's 417 00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:33,770 saying we're not no longer living by the Spirit. 418 00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:37,770 If we don't live by the Spirit, there's only two choices, life 419 00:24:37,770 --> 00:24:41,210 or death. So if we choose to walk down the 420 00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:45,290 path of death and we we, we stop listening to the signal that's 421 00:24:45,290 --> 00:24:49,690 saying, hey, don't go there, hey, watch. 422 00:24:49,810 --> 00:24:52,330 Watch your mouth, watch your attitude. 423 00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:58,690 Put some fruit on that. Why are you worrying? 424 00:24:59,450 --> 00:25:02,730 Cast down that thought. This is how good the Holy Ghost 425 00:25:02,730 --> 00:25:05,130 is that he will talk to us all day long. 426 00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:07,810 He will remind us of the scripture we're going to get to 427 00:25:07,810 --> 00:25:10,850 that He will remind us again. He's the one who's going to 428 00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:14,290 guide us into all truth. And what is the truth? 429 00:25:14,290 --> 00:25:23,190 The truth is the word of God. Truth is the word of God, and 430 00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:25,630 the truth is available to us all the time. 431 00:25:25,630 --> 00:25:31,910 And in fact, the truth is going to bear witness or the Holy 432 00:25:31,910 --> 00:25:33,870 Ghost is going to bear witness, that when we're reading the 433 00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:36,310 Scripture, it is truth. When someone is behind the 434 00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:40,150 pulpit and they're ministering, when you hear something, the 435 00:25:40,150 --> 00:25:41,790 Holy Spirit is going to bear witness. 436 00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:43,030 And you're going to be able to hear that. 437 00:25:43,030 --> 00:25:45,190 And you're going to be able to decipher because the Holy Ghost 438 00:25:45,190 --> 00:25:46,590 is on the inside. And you're going to be able to 439 00:25:46,590 --> 00:25:49,910 say no, that something's not right there. 440 00:25:51,230 --> 00:25:53,470 And you'll be able to go to the scripture and say no, they took 441 00:25:53,470 --> 00:25:58,710 that out of context. Or no, that something's not jive 442 00:25:58,710 --> 00:26:00,310 in here. That's not scripture. 443 00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:04,070 That's not true because you have the ability to understand that 444 00:26:04,070 --> 00:26:09,870 with with God's navigation system, the way we upgrade, 445 00:26:11,030 --> 00:26:16,180 because what the difference between a GPS and a GNS is, the 446 00:26:16,180 --> 00:26:19,740 GPS has to constantly have be powered and it has to be 447 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:23,220 upgraded with whatever the new system and the Holy Ghost has 448 00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:26,340 been here from the very beginning and he's the same 449 00:26:26,340 --> 00:26:30,140 yesterday, today and forever. What is changing is us. 450 00:26:30,780 --> 00:26:34,500 What's changing on is us on the inside and it's understanding 451 00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:37,780 what the word of God is in our life and it's challenging us to 452 00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:42,960 say Nope, you need to do this differently in order for you to 453 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,280 grow and mature. Maturity is going to mean that 454 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,120 next year we should look differently than we look this 455 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:52,000 year because we go from faith to faith and glory to glory. 456 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,440 And we can't be somewhere next year if we don't apply the truth 457 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,000 and the faith that God's given us right here today and have 458 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000 that and work on that maturity that he wants us to, to a 459 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,620 display, to the world. So it's us that really has to 460 00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:11,220 stay plugged in and connected to the word of God in order to get 461 00:27:11,220 --> 00:27:13,740 the upgrades. We get upgrades every week. 462 00:27:15,540 --> 00:27:23,220 We get good word here. We cannot, we cannot disdain it 463 00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:29,900 or devalue it. We can't when our pastors are up 464 00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:35,090 here, don't devalue when the word of God comes from them. 465 00:27:35,410 --> 00:27:37,770 And I we're talking right now, you guys are the, you guys are 466 00:27:37,770 --> 00:27:41,770 the ones who hear regular tenders Vision partners, right 467 00:27:41,890 --> 00:27:45,770 On a Sunday morning. The core of us should be drawing 468 00:27:45,770 --> 00:27:50,090 upon the anointing and showing the example that we're we're 469 00:27:50,090 --> 00:27:53,210 living by the spirit. We're drawing on the anointing 470 00:27:53,210 --> 00:27:58,050 in the spirit so that we can see change happen in our city and we 471 00:27:58,050 --> 00:28:00,810 understand that we've got such a great value. 472 00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:03,930 And the word and the meat of the word, it is not happening. 473 00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:06,530 We're here all the time. So sometimes it it takes us 474 00:28:07,690 --> 00:28:10,130 either leaving or hearing somebody else, maybe that's 475 00:28:10,130 --> 00:28:13,650 going to church and they start talking about their life and 476 00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,530 God. And then you're like, well, 477 00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:18,290 that's not how things are for me. 478 00:28:18,850 --> 00:28:21,770 And that's not the kind of thing my pastor is talking about or 479 00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:24,770 that's not the kind of the way my pastor lives. 480 00:28:26,540 --> 00:28:30,900 They're the real deal. And sometimes the word that's 481 00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:33,900 going to come is going to be harsh and it's going to be, you 482 00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:35,700 know, in our face. And it's not going to be 483 00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:38,980 something that we want to hear. It's always going to be the 484 00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:41,540 flowery story. But there's always a hope and a 485 00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:44,580 faith and a victory no matter what messages is preached. 486 00:28:45,060 --> 00:28:48,540 Because that's our God. Our God always wants to see us 487 00:28:49,460 --> 00:28:51,540 on the other side, the best side. 488 00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:56,430 He wants us on the choice of life versus death, right. 489 00:28:56,750 --> 00:29:00,430 And so we've got to be tapped into his positioning, His 490 00:29:00,430 --> 00:29:03,670 positioning, his navigation system is the best. 491 00:29:03,670 --> 00:29:06,910 Amen. All right, let's go over to 492 00:29:06,910 --> 00:29:10,190 Ezekiel 3627. Because, you know, God had a 493 00:29:10,190 --> 00:29:16,550 plan from the very beginning. We know, Adam, you know, kind of 494 00:29:16,550 --> 00:29:20,470 skewed that plan and things had to be reworked a little bit for 495 00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:22,990 us to now live the life we live in the Kingdom. 496 00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:27,260 But in the Ezekiel he promised that he was. 497 00:29:27,260 --> 00:29:30,940 He said I and I will put my spirit in you so that you will 498 00:29:30,940 --> 00:29:36,300 follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations. 499 00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:40,180 This key of the spirit would be put in this so that we could 500 00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:48,500 follow, so that we would follow. Hey, I need you to do this. 501 00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:50,420 I need you to move in this position. 502 00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:54,840 I need you to. I need you to do this with your 503 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,800 kids. I need you to do this with your 504 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,320 finances. I'm thinking it's time right now 505 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,120 that you minister to your coworker. 506 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:09,400 You say this to them, or maybe the Lord says, you know what? 507 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,040 I need you to cut something off. I need you not to talk to that 508 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,680 person anymore because they're only bringing death in your life 509 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,000 and they refuse to have anything to do with God. 510 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,760 And now you're in an unequal friendship with somebody. 511 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200 Maybe it's that maybe the Holy Ghost is protecting you. 512 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:37,680 It could be as serious as that to as simple as you are. 513 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640 You're about to leave the house and you've got something. 514 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,000 You're about to leave it behind. The Holy Ghost says, go back in 515 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,560 the house. You got, you got to go, you got 516 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,230 to go Grab that. That's how good God is that He 517 00:30:49,230 --> 00:30:53,030 wants to. He wants to eliminate some of 518 00:30:53,030 --> 00:30:56,550 the hardships that we might have that are just like stupid stuff, 519 00:30:56,550 --> 00:31:02,430 like like leaving our lunch behind or forgetting our keys. 520 00:31:04,750 --> 00:31:09,310 But all of those things involve our everyday life and our time, 521 00:31:10,590 --> 00:31:12,670 right? Our time is treasured. 522 00:31:13,410 --> 00:31:17,610 It's ticking quickly, right? And so God cares about the 523 00:31:17,610 --> 00:31:22,530 littlest details of our life, even to let us know that right, 524 00:31:22,810 --> 00:31:25,530 Telling us we need to go in a different direction physically. 525 00:31:25,530 --> 00:31:28,410 I've, I've said this testimony before my life. 526 00:31:28,650 --> 00:31:31,450 The Lord has spared me more than one occasion of my life where 527 00:31:31,450 --> 00:31:34,290 he's, He's, I could have not been here. 528 00:31:34,770 --> 00:31:38,090 But the Holy Ghost arrested my thought at that moment and said 529 00:31:38,570 --> 00:31:43,640 don't do this or do this. And that's huge. 530 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,160 We don't ever want to dismiss what he says because again, he's 531 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,520 all about bringing what truth and life to us. 532 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,040 Amen. He has promised that Spirit 533 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,880 would be and it would be placed inside us. 534 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,240 John 1416 and 17 says this. And I will ask the Father, and 535 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,040 he will give you another helper, to be with you forever, even the 536 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,950 Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot see or cannot receive, 537 00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:12,590 because it neither sees him nor knows him. 538 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:19,670 You know him for what he dwells with you and will be in you. 539 00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:27,430 The Holy Spirit was promised for us to come alongside us. 540 00:32:28,230 --> 00:32:32,230 And the Greek word is paraclete, you know, and I think of a 541 00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:36,070 parakeet when I hear that Greek word, paraclete, parakeet. 542 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:40,390 What does a a parrot do? They typically, when you think 543 00:32:40,390 --> 00:32:44,230 about the tropics and going to the Caribbean, you think about a 544 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:48,910 parrot being on a what on your shoulder and being right there 545 00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:52,790 and what a parrots do. They talk and they mimic 546 00:32:54,670 --> 00:32:57,070 constantly. They mimic what they've heard. 547 00:32:57,510 --> 00:33:02,550 Well, we have the Holy Spirit that's mimicking what the Holy 548 00:33:02,550 --> 00:33:07,560 Spirit's heard by God. It's mimicking the Word because 549 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,280 they're all one, right? The Word. 550 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,480 We've got God, the Father, got the Son, got the Holy Ghost, and 551 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,240 all of it is incorporated, and it's all in the Word. 552 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,240 It's all been there from the beginning. 553 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,960 And so we've got the the Holy Spirit right there like a parrot 554 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000 with us. So not only in us, but right 555 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,600 there with us constantly telling us what the Scripture says, 556 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,650 reminding us of the truth, letting us know, right. 557 00:33:39,490 --> 00:33:41,290 Letting us know what God's word says. 558 00:33:41,290 --> 00:33:43,170 So think about that. When you think about a parrot, 559 00:33:43,570 --> 00:33:48,530 Proverbs 11/14 says where there is no guidance, the people fall. 560 00:33:48,530 --> 00:33:50,690 But in an abundance of counselors, there's victory. 561 00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:52,330 This was in our Bible reading this weekend. 562 00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:54,690 When I read, I was like, that's that goes right along with what 563 00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:57,130 I'm talking about Wednesday. So I wrote that down where there 564 00:33:57,130 --> 00:34:00,770 is no guidance. What's our guide? 565 00:34:00,930 --> 00:34:03,050 What's giving us the ultimate guidance? 566 00:34:03,050 --> 00:34:09,050 Is the Holy Spirit there God's navigation system for us so that 567 00:34:09,050 --> 00:34:13,250 we won't fall. Is there opportunity for us to 568 00:34:13,250 --> 00:34:14,370 fall? Certainly. 569 00:34:14,650 --> 00:34:18,250 But do we have to? No, we have. 570 00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:22,179 We don't have to miss it. We we can live. 571 00:34:22,179 --> 00:34:24,980 The world wants you to think that you know you're you're a 572 00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,060 Sinner and you're always going to be that way and you're never 573 00:34:28,060 --> 00:34:30,820 going to be able to do right. And we're, you know, nobody's 574 00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:34,980 perfect. But if we're in the Kingdom, 575 00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:37,699 there's a perfection of us that we are now. 576 00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:40,100 We're not, we've not attained that the way we're going to be 577 00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:44,699 when we are finally with him. But if we're maturing them, 578 00:34:44,699 --> 00:34:47,179 maturing is perfecting. So there's some things that are 579 00:34:47,179 --> 00:34:48,820 going to start to take place in our life. 580 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:51,800 If we're listening to the spirit and we're living by the spirit, 581 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,960 we're going to look different. We're going to talk different. 582 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,040 And if we continue to listen to that parrot, you know, you 583 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,680 always think about the the old cartoon where there's the devil 584 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,520 and the Angel. Yeah, the devil does talk. 585 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,200 He doesn't sit right here, you know, where he talks. 586 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,000 He talks right to your mind. But then you got the Holy Ghost 587 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,120 on the inside that wants to rise up and remind you don't take 588 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,930 that from him. Don't listen to what he's 589 00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:22,530 saying. He's a liar and he's a thief, 590 00:35:22,530 --> 00:35:26,050 and he wants to, he wants first and foremost to steal your time, 591 00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:30,010 that you're meditating and thinking about whatever that is. 592 00:35:30,570 --> 00:35:36,930 And it could be a past failure. It could be a hard circumstance 593 00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:39,810 that you're right in the midst. Maybe it's something medical. 594 00:35:40,010 --> 00:35:44,010 Maybe it's something that that's happened to you. 595 00:35:44,820 --> 00:35:47,140 Maybe it's something you're not looking forward to. 596 00:35:47,140 --> 00:35:49,220 So the devil wants to always rehearse that. 597 00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:52,420 But the Holy Ghost is saying no, don't listen to that tap into 598 00:35:52,420 --> 00:35:55,540 what the word says about it. Only stick to that. 599 00:35:56,180 --> 00:35:59,660 We know at the very beginning of the year it was the year to what 600 00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:03,820 decree to rain but to But in order to rain was to what 601 00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:07,340 declare to speak. Well, we've got the best person 602 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:10,980 coaching us all the time, guiding us on the inside, saying 603 00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:15,350 you got this, you got this. You can, you can, you can get up 604 00:36:15,350 --> 00:36:17,110 this morning. I've got you. 605 00:36:17,110 --> 00:36:20,230 I'll be with you all day. I'm going to remind you of the 606 00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:22,710 truth. You got this. 607 00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:25,390 Don't listen to him. And that's when the Holy Ghost 608 00:36:25,390 --> 00:36:27,830 will remind you of the truth. And then you got to speak it out 609 00:36:27,830 --> 00:36:31,110 and you have to tell the devil. You have to speak it out vocally 610 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:35,350 and say no, you are a liar. I don't think so. 611 00:36:35,350 --> 00:36:37,670 And you got to speak out what the word says. 612 00:36:38,690 --> 00:36:40,850 You know, we tell the kids all the time where where it's like 613 00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:43,490 bubbles and you blow bubbles are so much fun, right? 614 00:36:43,770 --> 00:36:46,170 Blow bubbles. And you kept you catch it. 615 00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:50,570 You capture it, right? You capture it and you make sure 616 00:36:51,570 --> 00:36:54,250 it lines up with the word of God. 617 00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:56,850 You know how many of you ever tried to blow really, really big 618 00:36:56,850 --> 00:37:00,730 bubble, either either a chewing gum or bubble gum bubble or a 619 00:37:00,970 --> 00:37:03,890 bubble that you try to grab it and try to hold it where it 620 00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:05,610 won't pop? Right. 621 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,080 Imagine that We've got bubbles and we're blowing them. 622 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,280 They're all over the building. We're trying to grab one of them 623 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,600 and we're going to hold it. That's what we do with our 624 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,880 thoughts. We're supposed to do with our 625 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,280 thoughts. That's what scripture says we 626 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,680 we're supposed to grab them and hold it. 627 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,960 Is this what God's word says about me? 628 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,480 Is this what God's word says about the situation? 629 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:30,280 And the Holy Ghost all along is reminding you, is is telling 630 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,250 you, is saying, Yep, Yep, that's it. 631 00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:37,610 Or no, that's not it. And if it's not it, then squash 632 00:37:37,610 --> 00:37:40,810 goes that bubble burst. You know, pop that bubble. 633 00:37:40,810 --> 00:37:43,250 It's done. It's done. 634 00:37:43,250 --> 00:37:46,290 Let's only focus on what God's word says. 635 00:37:46,290 --> 00:37:49,250 Amen. That navigation system will not 636 00:37:49,250 --> 00:37:52,490 steer us wrong. It will not put us in the wrong 637 00:37:52,490 --> 00:37:55,250 position. It will not When you're trying 638 00:37:55,250 --> 00:37:58,610 to go to Tampa. It will not land you in Atlanta. 639 00:38:02,660 --> 00:38:05,180 It will get you exactly where you're supposed to be. 640 00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:08,700 You know you won't. You won't be like home alone. 641 00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:12,220 And you got on the wrong plane because you were trying to mess 642 00:38:12,220 --> 00:38:17,220 with your Bachmann. The holy still remind you, hey, 643 00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:22,140 wake up, you're about to go in the wrong direction to be all by 644 00:38:22,140 --> 00:38:23,660 yourself. And you don't need to go over 645 00:38:23,660 --> 00:38:27,220 there by yourself. You need to stay where truth and 646 00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:29,060 where life is. You don't need to get off 647 00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:33,060 course. You need to stay here. 648 00:38:34,580 --> 00:38:36,820 Because if you get off alone, guess what? 649 00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:42,620 It's scary when you're by yourself. 650 00:38:43,260 --> 00:38:45,420 Who would want to be? But we were by ourselves before 651 00:38:45,420 --> 00:38:47,340 God. We thought we had. 652 00:38:47,340 --> 00:38:49,300 We thought we had a group of people. 653 00:38:49,820 --> 00:38:53,020 We thought you had friends. You. 654 00:38:53,220 --> 00:38:56,420 You. Yeah, you thought that somebody 655 00:38:56,420 --> 00:39:01,040 had your back. You maybe leaned upon a 656 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,600 substance or two, or leaned upon a relationship or two to fill 657 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,240 you, but then realize all of that was empty. 658 00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:09,520 At the end of the night, you're by yourself and you're empty. 659 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,800 You have nothing. But then, but then. 660 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,360 But God, rich in his mercy, right? 661 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,360 Because he loved us so much, He sent Jesus so that we wouldn't 662 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,880 have to be empty. We wouldn't have to lay there at 663 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,960 bed at night and be completely empty. 664 00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,580 We could have him and we have that. 665 00:39:29,580 --> 00:39:31,420 That's what we have in this room, right? 666 00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:33,660 We're the church. We have that. 667 00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:37,700 We don't go home empty when we leave tonight. 668 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:39,260 We not. We've been stirred up. 669 00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:42,100 We're full. We get up to the tomorrow, we're 670 00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:45,910 full. We've got a city where there's 671 00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:49,790 thousands of people that need to know those Nuggets that are on 672 00:39:49,790 --> 00:39:53,190 the bottom of that soup bowl. So we're stirring it up so that 673 00:39:53,190 --> 00:39:56,550 we can go out there and not only do we were able to show them 674 00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:59,950 that example and spread that light, we got hope we can give 675 00:39:59,950 --> 00:40:01,870 them. But that's because we're tapped 676 00:40:01,870 --> 00:40:06,990 in to God's navigation and we're doing His work and we're we're 677 00:40:07,390 --> 00:40:11,030 navigating things not on our own, but with Him and through 678 00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:11,750 Him. Amen. 679 00:40:13,140 --> 00:40:19,260 So the similarities to the GPS and the God's navigation or GNS, 680 00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:21,820 is that we or you, we get to decide where we're going. 681 00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:25,500 Ultimately, he is such a past, Pastor Marcy said. 682 00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:28,860 We, the Holy Spirit, he is a gentleman. 683 00:40:29,380 --> 00:40:33,900 He will not force us. And, you know, a GPS, I've 684 00:40:33,980 --> 00:40:38,420 recently put in a address and I know kind of knew about where it 685 00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:40,700 was. But sometimes when I tell it to 686 00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:43,420 go somewhere and I know I don't need to go all the way out of my 687 00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:48,020 house and turn right and go all the way around to 3:12 to get to 688 00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:49,740 homes. I don't know why it always tells 689 00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:54,580 me to do that, but it does. And so for about 5 or 6 minutes, 690 00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:59,180 I have to listen to it tell me turn around, go turn right, turn 691 00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:01,180 around. You know, the next you turn, you 692 00:41:01,180 --> 00:41:05,100 know, it's it keeps telling me. So then I tune it out. 693 00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:10,050 I tune it out because I I know. I know where I'm going and I 694 00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:13,250 know what I'm doing. We can't do that with God's 695 00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:18,450 navigation, though we can. We can choose to do that, but we 696 00:41:18,450 --> 00:41:22,050 shouldn't choose to do that. We should be attune and 697 00:41:22,050 --> 00:41:23,730 listening. And if he says you need to go 698 00:41:23,730 --> 00:41:25,450 right, then guess where we need to go? 699 00:41:26,170 --> 00:41:29,130 We need to go right. And now what happens if we do 700 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:33,140 choose to turn to the left? And we then realized, oops, I 701 00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:35,100 probably should have listened at that time. 702 00:41:35,340 --> 00:41:38,460 You know what? God is so good and so gracious 703 00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:43,300 that he's going to give us the best reroute, that at any moment 704 00:41:44,180 --> 00:41:47,180 we got a new rerouting. He's he's going to reroute us. 705 00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:49,420 And he's always going to reroute us back to truth. 706 00:41:49,420 --> 00:41:52,380 He's always going to reroute us back to where we need to be so 707 00:41:52,380 --> 00:41:54,540 that we won't miss out. We won't miss another step. 708 00:41:55,140 --> 00:41:56,980 We don't have to miss any more steps. 709 00:41:57,420 --> 00:41:59,420 He's that good to us. Amen. 710 00:42:00,450 --> 00:42:03,330 So are you listening, Church? Are you listening to God's 711 00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:05,890 navigation system? Right? 712 00:42:06,450 --> 00:42:09,730 Or are you one of those people you ever see the signs like in 713 00:42:09,730 --> 00:42:14,570 Hobby Lobby and all it says? Not all who wander or lost. 714 00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:21,530 Yes, they are. They are law now. 715 00:42:21,530 --> 00:42:24,290 I'm all for a spontaneous adventure. 716 00:42:24,290 --> 00:42:28,890 Think it's great for all those who are single and can do that? 717 00:42:28,890 --> 00:42:30,970 Please travel. It's great if obviously be led. 718 00:42:30,970 --> 00:42:32,850 Don't just go somewhere just because. 719 00:42:32,850 --> 00:42:36,730 But the Lord all you know you're in a great position because when 720 00:42:36,730 --> 00:42:41,690 mission trips come, guess what the Heart Lord leads you to go. 721 00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:44,610 You can get on that plane easy, right? 722 00:42:45,170 --> 00:42:48,050 But for those who are married and those who are maybe in 723 00:42:48,050 --> 00:42:50,570 different things, though, it's just as easy for us. 724 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,520 The Lord says we can do it. Then he'll bring the resource, 725 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,800 He'll bring the supply we need. He'll he'll help us to arrange 726 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,480 things so the single people don't have it. 727 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,960 All right, we can. We can all tap in. 728 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,760 That's, again, if we're being led. 729 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,560 So let's not be Wanderers, because you know there's that 730 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,250 old thought process is that men don't like to ask for 731 00:43:15,250 --> 00:43:16,410 directions. I don't believe that. 732 00:43:16,410 --> 00:43:18,690 I think there's price of men in here that do ask for directions. 733 00:43:18,690 --> 00:43:21,450 Raise your hand if you do. OK, so see you guys like to know 734 00:43:21,450 --> 00:43:26,850 directions, but if you've ever been somewhere and you have 735 00:43:26,850 --> 00:43:32,610 gotten lost because I'm going to tell you GPS is not always 736 00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:37,210 right. God's navigation is, though tell 737 00:43:37,210 --> 00:43:42,210 you a funny story. Last year I got, I got 738 00:43:42,330 --> 00:43:46,610 privileged to go to the one of Pastors Rayma conferences and it 739 00:43:46,610 --> 00:43:51,730 was actually in Saint Thomas. And so we were there with Pastor 740 00:43:51,730 --> 00:43:54,250 Estrada at their church, their beautiful place. 741 00:43:54,610 --> 00:43:58,290 And one night we decided that we were done with the services and 742 00:43:58,290 --> 00:44:03,010 we kind of had some extra time. And so believe it was Josh and 743 00:44:03,010 --> 00:44:08,730 Chase and I and Pastor Craig Hagen and Pastor Roddy and his 744 00:44:08,730 --> 00:44:12,050 wife and their son. So we had like a lot of energy 745 00:44:12,050 --> 00:44:16,570 in that Jeep and so it was a lot of fun though and so I've got my 746 00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:20,010 GPS on in the back seat and Pastor Craig sitting in the 747 00:44:20,010 --> 00:44:24,370 front and he's got his GPS on and it's saying two different 748 00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:28,330 things and I'm looking at it and so we're we're on the way to go 749 00:44:28,330 --> 00:44:31,970 find this beach at night did not that we really could go swimming 750 00:44:31,970 --> 00:44:33,890 or anything we just wanted to kind of the islands very, very 751 00:44:33,890 --> 00:44:35,650 small. So it was very quick to get 752 00:44:35,650 --> 00:44:40,180 around or whatever. And this is saying to keep going 753 00:44:40,180 --> 00:44:42,020 straight and not mind saying go right. 754 00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:44,260 And so I'm in the back trying to be a backseat driver and said 755 00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:47,300 hey, it's saying go right. They're not listening to me at 756 00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:48,460 all. None of them are. 757 00:44:48,940 --> 00:44:51,380 And of course me and Danielle and Pastor Roddy, we're all 758 00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:53,100 cutting up in the back anyway, so we're back and forth. 759 00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:56,500 I kept looking at the G PS:, said it took us all the way to 760 00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:59,100 the end. This is listening to Pastor 761 00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:04,820 Craig's Took us all the way to the end of a Cliff and we 762 00:45:04,820 --> 00:45:08,300 couldn't go any further. So here we are like this in the 763 00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:10,540 car and we're having to like backup. 764 00:45:10,540 --> 00:45:14,180 It was hilarious but yet terrifying at the same time. 765 00:45:14,580 --> 00:45:18,540 We're like we were laughing or like, you know, we followed his 766 00:45:18,540 --> 00:45:21,340 GPS which steered us completely wrong. 767 00:45:21,660 --> 00:45:25,980 So there's case of point GPS. Natural GPS does not always work 768 00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:31,980 so but God's but God's always, always works. 769 00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:36,390 He will never leave us or forsake us, and he won't ever 770 00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:40,630 leave us face down in a Cliff. The devil will though. 771 00:45:41,310 --> 00:45:44,230 The devil wants us to be face down in a Cliff because he wants 772 00:45:44,230 --> 00:45:49,350 to go us to go off that Cliff. Because he his main schemes 3 773 00:45:49,350 --> 00:45:57,030 things to still kill and destroy and anything he can do and those 774 00:45:57,030 --> 00:46:02,150 three things he will do it. So we don't have to abide by his 775 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,640 3 rules and what he would do in his systems. 776 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,440 But we can follow God's navigating system and we can 777 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,840 follow Galatians 516 which says, so I say walk by the spirit and 778 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,920 you will not gratify the desires of flesh. 779 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,360 Walk by the spirit and so for walking. 780 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:24,960 So that's a descriptor of something that's moving, it's 781 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,640 doing, right. If we're following God's 782 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:33,110 navigation system, then we're doing we're we're on a path and 783 00:46:33,110 --> 00:46:39,310 we're moving forward. So there is always more than one 784 00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:42,350 type of navigation system out there, right? 785 00:46:42,350 --> 00:46:45,390 How many of you use Siri on a regular basis? 786 00:46:45,550 --> 00:46:46,790 Anybody. Couple of people do. 787 00:46:47,110 --> 00:46:51,030 OK, how many of you actually have navigation in your cars? 788 00:46:52,460 --> 00:46:56,220 OK, back then when I had 1215 years ago and I had that little 789 00:46:56,220 --> 00:46:59,220 garment thing, it was a little teeny tiny box, little TV screen 790 00:46:59,220 --> 00:47:03,260 like thing. And now most cars come with its 791 00:47:03,260 --> 00:47:05,220 own backup camera, it's own navigation. 792 00:47:05,220 --> 00:47:07,740 That's pretty standard. And some regular cars, right. 793 00:47:08,460 --> 00:47:11,500 So can you can use that. But there's all kinds of other 794 00:47:11,500 --> 00:47:14,940 navigating apps. I won't name names, but there's 795 00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:17,340 one that tells you exactly where the police are. 796 00:47:17,940 --> 00:47:20,250 Cute little, the cute little carrot. 797 00:47:20,410 --> 00:47:23,810 You know cartoons see all stuff wants to say it the little 798 00:47:23,810 --> 00:47:27,970 cartoons And so sometimes on a trip my husband puts that one on 799 00:47:27,970 --> 00:47:32,650 he's that's his favorite but but but if you're it it'll go for a 800 00:47:32,650 --> 00:47:37,570 long time and then it'll say danger reported ahead like it's 801 00:47:37,570 --> 00:47:40,970 like it's like blasted in your face like danger reported ahead. 802 00:47:40,970 --> 00:47:43,730 So then it's like, I've been, it's been so quiet in the car 803 00:47:43,730 --> 00:47:45,530 sometimes and all of a sudden that goes off and you're just 804 00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:48,160 like, oh, OK, you know, alert alerts you. 805 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,320 Well, God's navigation system does that. 806 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:56,200 It alerts us, but not in a way that scares us or puts us where 807 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,280 we're going to be afraid because that's the opposite of his 808 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,120 nature. It's going to be, it's going to 809 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:06,080 empower us to do what's right and to be aware, hey, there's 810 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:11,280 something coming. Maybe you need to to be in 811 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:16,130 prayer about it, something recently. 812 00:48:16,130 --> 00:48:19,290 I'm not going to get in details, but the Lord woke me up on a 813 00:48:19,290 --> 00:48:20,570 dream. This is probably about three 814 00:48:20,570 --> 00:48:24,690 months ago and I didn't understand what it meant. 815 00:48:24,690 --> 00:48:28,730 But then it was about a month or two later a situation happened 816 00:48:29,090 --> 00:48:33,730 and the Lord showed me. I woke you up with that picture 817 00:48:33,730 --> 00:48:36,650 that you seen so that you could pray, and I prayed. 818 00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:40,250 I got up and prayed and I didn't have any idea what it was about. 819 00:48:40,650 --> 00:48:44,210 It didn't make sense to me, but I knew the Holy Ghost woke me up 820 00:48:44,210 --> 00:48:46,350 to pray about it. That doesn't happen all the 821 00:48:46,350 --> 00:48:48,550 time. But I'm like, if the Lord woke 822 00:48:48,550 --> 00:48:51,430 me up and showed me this, then that must be something I really 823 00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:53,350 need to pay attention to. And so I did. 824 00:48:53,350 --> 00:48:57,030 And so I believe because I obeyed, that that kind of helped 825 00:48:57,310 --> 00:49:01,430 prepare my heart for this situation that occurred. 826 00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:07,510 And so God cares that we're prepared for what is ahead if 827 00:49:07,510 --> 00:49:13,630 there is danger or blessing. You know, I remember years ago 828 00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:17,990 the Lord using me to administer to someone and and speak 829 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:20,550 something in their life. And I remember thinking, I don't 830 00:49:20,550 --> 00:49:23,750 want to go tell that person that, like, you know, they don't 831 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:25,910 know who I am. And I hadn't, you know, hadn't 832 00:49:25,910 --> 00:49:30,070 quite grown and matured and in my confidence at that time. 833 00:49:30,070 --> 00:49:32,670 And so when I went to them, I was like, OK, God, I wrestled 834 00:49:32,670 --> 00:49:35,310 with telling them I was like the Lord laid on my heart to say 835 00:49:35,310 --> 00:49:38,150 something to them, to encourage them and was a specific 836 00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:40,470 situation. And I didn't know. 837 00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:47,090 Years later, the Lord showed me why I was to tell them that, and 838 00:49:47,090 --> 00:49:50,890 showed me and revealed it later. So sometimes we might know know 839 00:49:50,890 --> 00:49:55,410 all the pieces of something, but all the Lord asked us to do is 840 00:49:55,410 --> 00:49:59,890 to obey. And if we obey His word first 841 00:49:59,890 --> 00:50:03,130 and foremost, we're going to be walking in His truth. 842 00:50:03,490 --> 00:50:05,610 And we've got the Holy Ghost to help us do that. 843 00:50:05,770 --> 00:50:09,050 Amen. So one of the things in us 844 00:50:09,050 --> 00:50:14,010 maturing is that He helps us to change our mindset. 845 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,960 You know, we've read that we have the mind of Christ, right? 846 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,360 And this next script we're going to go to is First Corinthians 847 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,800 216 through 16. We're going to read all that. 848 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,440 And this is how we get wisdom from the Spirit, from God's 849 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,720 navigation system since the first six. 850 00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:36,680 We do not, however, speak a message of wisdom among mature 851 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,560 among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rulers 852 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,400 of this age who are coming to nothing. 853 00:50:42,820 --> 00:50:46,540 No, we declare God's wisdom a mystery that has been hidden and 854 00:50:46,540 --> 00:50:49,780 that God destined for our glory before time. 855 00:50:50,220 --> 00:50:54,380 None of the rulers of this age understand it, for if it had, if 856 00:50:54,380 --> 00:50:56,980 they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. 857 00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:01,020 However it is written what no eye has seen, what no ear has 858 00:51:01,020 --> 00:51:04,420 heard, and what no human mind has conceived. 859 00:51:04,420 --> 00:51:08,300 The things God has prepared for those who love him. 860 00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:13,990 And these are the things that God has revealed by his spirit. 861 00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:18,670 He's got some amazing things he wants to show us. 862 00:51:19,350 --> 00:51:22,590 You know he can't. It's not like with a regular GPS 863 00:51:22,590 --> 00:51:25,510 where you get a download and it has all the all the bells and 864 00:51:25,510 --> 00:51:27,390 whistles and you know everything about it. 865 00:51:27,390 --> 00:51:30,550 You can read the you can go digitally and find out all the 866 00:51:30,550 --> 00:51:33,070 ins and outs of something, though it would scare us if we 867 00:51:33,070 --> 00:51:36,270 knew everything. Now this is a process in our 868 00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:40,000 walk with the Lord, but he has some amazing things that from 869 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,280 beginning of time before that he predestined for us to know and 870 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,960 for us to tap into. But we that's only shown and 871 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,040 revealed by the Spirit. Let's go on. 872 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,760 It says the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of 873 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,000 God. For who knows a person's 874 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,720 thoughts except their own spirit within them. 875 00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:01,800 In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the 876 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,560 Spirit of God. What we have received is not the 877 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,870 Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God so that 878 00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:11,750 we may understand what God has freely given us. 879 00:52:12,070 --> 00:52:15,390 This is what is what we speak, not in words taught by human 880 00:52:15,390 --> 00:52:17,510 wisdom, but words taught by what? 881 00:52:17,710 --> 00:52:22,430 The Spirit explaining spiritual realities with Spirit taught 882 00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:24,430 words. The person without the Spirit 883 00:52:24,430 --> 00:52:28,230 does not accept the things that come from God, from the Spirit 884 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:30,950 of God, but considers them foolishness. 885 00:52:31,110 --> 00:52:34,720 Pastor Marcy's been saying this it's foolishness to the world 886 00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:36,920 because they don't have the insight yet. 887 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:42,080 They don't have the illumination right, but go on we said because 888 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,520 it's just spiritual discernment. But verse 50 says the person 889 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,680 with the Spirit makes judgments about all things. 890 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,600 But such a person is not subject to merely human judgments. 891 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,640 But then this our final verse, our key verse, not final verse, 892 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,560 but our key verse. Here in this passage, who has 893 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,520 known the mind of the Lord as to instruct him? 894 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:06,660 But we have the mind of Christ, and we're able to understand 895 00:53:07,540 --> 00:53:11,900 what God's placed in His word because we have the ability by 896 00:53:11,900 --> 00:53:16,540 God's navigation system to understand what's in His mind. 897 00:53:16,540 --> 00:53:19,500 Not only does he know what it's in our hearts or what we know as 898 00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:24,860 our spirit man, but we can have the ability to have His mind and 899 00:53:24,860 --> 00:53:30,220 His wisdom, and we get that revelation by the Holy Spirit in 900 00:53:30,220 --> 00:53:32,580 our everyday life. Amen. 901 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:41,560 So we want to know what the Spirit speaking, right? 902 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,760 Some people say, you know, let me let almost speak my mind. 903 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,520 I must speak my mind. I must speak my truth. 904 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,640 Let's make sure it's not us. Let's make sure it's really the 905 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,160 Holy Spirit living on the inside of us. 906 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,320 And if we speak the mind of Christ, then we're only going to 907 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,920 speak what the Word says. Amen. 908 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:07,120 John 1616 and amplify says this. But when he the Spirit of truth, 909 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,680 the truth giving Spirit comes, he will what guide you into all 910 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:16,200 truth, the whole full truth. For he will not speak his own 911 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,480 message on his own authority, but he will tell whatever he 912 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,080 hears from the Father, and he will give the message that he's 913 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,200 been given to him. And he will announce and declare 914 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,200 to you the things that are to come that will happen in the 915 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:36,140 future so we can know some things along the journey as He 916 00:54:36,140 --> 00:54:37,460 guides us. Amen. 917 00:54:37,860 --> 00:54:42,140 He wants us to change our mindset because this is the 918 00:54:42,140 --> 00:54:49,580 thing about us being a mature church is that the Word comes to 919 00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:53,220 bring revelation. And we can understand it because 920 00:54:53,220 --> 00:54:56,580 it we have illumination by the Holy Ghost that bears witness 921 00:54:56,580 --> 00:55:03,270 with God's Word. But how we know we've matured is 922 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:06,030 that next time we're faced with whatever it is. 923 00:55:06,030 --> 00:55:07,950 God said, hey, I need you to work on that. 924 00:55:08,630 --> 00:55:12,990 Hey, I need you to tweak that next time when we're faced with 925 00:55:12,990 --> 00:55:19,990 that, if we do, or our reaction is different the next time, it 926 00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:23,030 is what God's told us to do. That's maturity. 927 00:55:23,830 --> 00:55:27,710 When we shrink back to the way we used to do it, we we kind of 928 00:55:27,710 --> 00:55:31,150 reroute ourselves and God said go right and we're like, Nah, 929 00:55:31,190 --> 00:55:32,950 I'm going to go left. I'm going to turn this way. 930 00:55:32,950 --> 00:55:36,110 I'm going to do whatever I want to do, kind of round the corner. 931 00:55:36,430 --> 00:55:39,590 All the problems start because we should have went that way. 932 00:55:41,430 --> 00:55:45,950 When we do things the way we've always done them, it's like a 933 00:55:45,950 --> 00:55:50,410 person who's wandering like a person who is not paying 934 00:55:50,410 --> 00:55:54,010 attention to the directions anymore and they've went this 935 00:55:54,010 --> 00:55:57,770 way and then they're like, man, it feels like I just, we just 936 00:55:57,770 --> 00:56:00,330 went down that street, we've already passed out. 937 00:56:00,330 --> 00:56:02,530 We've already passed that house a couple times. 938 00:56:03,770 --> 00:56:07,610 That's what it's like as the in the life of a believer, if we 939 00:56:07,610 --> 00:56:12,050 keep doing the same things we've always done, and we don't break 940 00:56:12,050 --> 00:56:17,750 the habit in the cycle by saying I refuse to keep doing the same 941 00:56:18,070 --> 00:56:23,270 mundane every day, I'm going to choose to do what God's word 942 00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:28,870 says for me to do. I'm going to choose the life and 943 00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:31,270 the Holy Ghost direction on the inside. 944 00:56:31,270 --> 00:56:34,310 That I'm going to follow the navigation system so that I'm 945 00:56:34,310 --> 00:56:37,310 not steered wrong. That I'm not circling around the 946 00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:41,870 same house, not ever getting to the destination that God wants 947 00:56:41,870 --> 00:56:48,610 me to get to and see the power is in us, and then not only does 948 00:56:48,610 --> 00:56:51,530 the power in us, but God gives us the opportunity. 949 00:56:51,530 --> 00:56:57,090 Every time that we come sitting here, every time that we've got 950 00:56:57,210 --> 00:57:00,050 a we've we've got someone ministering the Word is another 951 00:57:00,050 --> 00:57:06,090 opportunity for us to stir, for us to get the download we need, 952 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,400 for us to get the upgrade we need, so that God's navigation 953 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,920 system continues to work in our life, it continues to fuel us to 954 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,400 be able to make those decisions, to follow it. 955 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,400 So we not only do we have that, but we've got our Bible reading 956 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,720 that we do. We stay tapped into the source 957 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,280 of God by reading, staying stirred up in the Scripture, 958 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,680 allowing God's Word to illuminate us, right. 959 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,720 Our prayer life, our prayer time. 960 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:37,310 You know, praying, praying out things we know in English, 961 00:57:37,350 --> 00:57:39,750 things that we that we know. But then going beyond that, 962 00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:43,550 being filled with the Holy Ghost to say, I need to stir myself 963 00:57:43,550 --> 00:57:45,870 up, I need to pray. And sometimes it's just as 964 00:57:45,870 --> 00:57:46,910 simple as that. It will. 965 00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:49,910 That'll stir us up. That will be what we need to get 966 00:57:49,910 --> 00:57:52,830 us over. And the Holy Ghost will remind 967 00:57:52,830 --> 00:57:55,910 you when you start feeling fleshy and you're, like, 968 00:57:56,190 --> 00:57:59,750 irritated at people and irritated at yourself and, like, 969 00:57:59,750 --> 00:58:04,440 you don't want to do that. And you're like this just, you 970 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,040 know, you'd become like a little child again, but not in a good 971 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,880 way. You're like, oh, this is just 972 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,120 dumb. I don't want to do this. 973 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,040 We're grown-ups. But I know I'm not the only 974 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,600 person that sometimes does it that feels like that. 975 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,800 You know, we deal with preschoolers all the time, and 976 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,560 they don't want to do stuff. And they tell us, no. 977 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,680 Well, I'm sorry you have to line up. 978 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,880 But sometimes we tell ourselves, no, We're like, you know, I'm 979 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,590 not doing it. I'm not doing it. 980 00:58:33,590 --> 00:58:34,750 And then you got to coax yourself. 981 00:58:34,790 --> 00:58:37,790 I'm telling you, if you tap into the Holy Spirit and you start 982 00:58:37,790 --> 00:58:41,870 praying out the Holy Ghost all you need, that's just, that'll 983 00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:44,550 stir the pot. That'll stir the pot for you. 984 00:58:44,550 --> 00:58:46,470 That'll get the beans up. That'll get the chicken up. 985 00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:48,910 That'll get all the Peppers up. It'll get all the good stuff up. 986 00:58:49,590 --> 00:58:52,990 And you like, OK, I can do this. Thank you, Holy Ghost. 987 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:55,870 I can do this. Not by myself. 988 00:58:57,220 --> 00:58:58,180 I can do this. And then you. 989 00:58:58,260 --> 00:59:01,220 Then you're able to like, stir the word up in you that then you 990 00:59:01,220 --> 00:59:02,860 can speak. And then you feel like super 991 00:59:02,860 --> 00:59:07,780 empowered because there's power in you and we're supposed to tap 992 00:59:07,780 --> 00:59:11,940 into that power. So we want to do that. 993 00:59:11,940 --> 00:59:13,660 And I'm going to close here just a minute. 994 00:59:14,420 --> 00:59:20,780 We don't want to just be what's called a person who is on 995 00:59:20,780 --> 00:59:26,190 autopilot is, if you look up the definition of a NAV, something 996 00:59:26,350 --> 00:59:30,190 that navigates or guides, one of the definition is a pilot. 997 00:59:31,470 --> 00:59:33,910 You know, years ago, remember I was a kid, They used to be the 998 00:59:33,910 --> 00:59:36,710 bumper sticker. God's my copilot kind of thing, 999 00:59:37,070 --> 00:59:38,430 really. He's he's supposed to be our 1000 00:59:38,430 --> 00:59:39,830 pilot. He's supposed to be the one 1001 00:59:39,830 --> 00:59:42,910 running the whole thing. And he does that with the Holy 1002 00:59:42,910 --> 00:59:44,910 Ghost living on the inside of his, telling us where to go, 1003 00:59:44,910 --> 00:59:47,150 what to do, what to say, how to live. 1004 00:59:47,970 --> 00:59:50,530 When we tap into that, we don't get into autopilot. 1005 00:59:50,530 --> 00:59:54,370 Autopilot is like, I work here, so I'm here all the time. 1006 00:59:54,370 --> 00:59:57,970 And on Saturday I'm really trying to go to Target and I 1007 00:59:57,970 --> 01:00:01,210 pull in here and I'm like, why I'm in the parking lot. 1008 01:00:01,210 --> 01:00:03,930 I was trying to go to Target. You know, like you go somewhere. 1009 01:00:03,930 --> 01:00:07,130 You were like, truly meaning to go somewhere, but you'd like you 1010 01:00:07,130 --> 01:00:10,450 do something so much. And so it's habit forming. 1011 01:00:10,950 --> 01:00:12,390 Right. That you just you're on 1012 01:00:12,390 --> 01:00:16,310 autopilot or you're driving and you get somewhere and you're 1013 01:00:16,310 --> 01:00:19,110 like I don't even remember passing by that or that or that 1014 01:00:19,110 --> 01:00:22,630 like you you're like well it's a psychological phenomenon. 1015 01:00:22,630 --> 01:00:25,390 It's it's there's psychological term for it and see if I can 1016 01:00:25,390 --> 01:00:30,690 pronounce it correctly. Automatic automaticity is what 1017 01:00:30,690 --> 01:00:34,370 it's called and it's a phenomenon where a person is 1018 01:00:34,370 --> 01:00:38,010 zoned out or they were it's quote UN quote autopilot and 1019 01:00:38,290 --> 01:00:42,210 it's the ability to do something without really thinking about it 1020 01:00:44,010 --> 01:00:47,690 so automatic. We do it on our everyday natural 1021 01:00:47,690 --> 01:00:53,360 lives when we're driving, when we get up, how many of you 1022 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,720 ladies know you can do laundry and dishes and all those things 1023 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,280 on you just do. I mean, you don't even think 1024 01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,520 about me, do all kinds of other things. 1025 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:00,960 You just do it. It's just autopilot. 1026 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,200 It's phenomenon. We can do it right. 1027 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:10,640 How much more should we be able to tap in to God's navigation 1028 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,280 system and that be so automatic in our life? 1029 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:19,080 So we're so disciplined that we go to the Holy Ghost first. 1030 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,200 We go to the Holy Ghost first because the Holy Ghost is going 1031 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,760 to remind us of God's truth. It's going to bear witness. 1032 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,840 What God's truth. So it will not steer us wrong, 1033 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,560 that we're so in tune that the Holy Spirit's the automatic in 1034 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,960 us that it leads us it automatically. 1035 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,520 First response is going to be to the Word. 1036 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:41,960 First response is going to be, well, what? 1037 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,840 What would God do, right? What would Jesus do? 1038 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,800 What would Jesus do? Just Jesus would listen, would 1039 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,610 have listened to the Holy Ghost, because what did he do? 1040 01:01:50,770 --> 01:01:56,450 What was the first thing he did when John the Baptist baptized 1041 01:01:56,450 --> 01:01:59,250 him? What he was filled, and the very 1042 01:01:59,250 --> 01:02:05,730 first assignment he had of his ministry was to go into the 1043 01:02:05,730 --> 01:02:07,370 wilderness. He was tempted in the 1044 01:02:07,370 --> 01:02:08,890 wilderness. And who sent him there? 1045 01:02:10,610 --> 01:02:14,170 Holy Spirit. And not only did the Holy Spirit 1046 01:02:14,730 --> 01:02:17,130 send him there. The Holy Spirit equipped him 1047 01:02:17,450 --> 01:02:21,730 with every single answer he needed, and every single answer 1048 01:02:22,650 --> 01:02:25,250 was the word. What were the three three things 1049 01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:29,810 he said? It is do. 1050 01:02:29,810 --> 01:02:32,290 What were they? OK, come on. 1051 01:02:32,290 --> 01:02:33,650 Not all his kids are louder than that one. 1052 01:02:33,650 --> 01:02:34,610 I make them do that. Ready. 1053 01:02:34,610 --> 01:02:39,810 What does he say now? The Holy Ghost sent him to the 1054 01:02:39,810 --> 01:02:43,810 wilderness and gave him all the right answers. 1055 01:02:44,490 --> 01:02:46,290 The wilderness wasn't a wrong answer. 1056 01:02:46,490 --> 01:02:48,330 The wilderness was a right answer. 1057 01:02:49,010 --> 01:02:51,410 A lot of times we can think just because we are going through 1058 01:02:51,410 --> 01:02:54,290 something hard that there was some wrong answer. 1059 01:02:54,290 --> 01:02:58,170 Before that we know that we're going to have tests and trials. 1060 01:02:58,490 --> 01:03:02,290 But what did he say about that? Be of good cheer. 1061 01:03:02,570 --> 01:03:06,250 So not only did the things might happen in our life that aren't 1062 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:10,760 the most positive and it and it could mean that we have been 1063 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,520 tapped in and we have been on the pilot and the pilot do its 1064 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,160 navigation on the inside, but we live in a fallen world. 1065 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,000 So we know that there's things that may happen that are out of 1066 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,640 our control and we can be doing everything right, going to the 1067 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,400 right direction, left direction, everything that God is wanting 1068 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,480 us to do. And still, things might not go 1069 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:34,820 right, but God gives us the ability to know how to handle 1070 01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:36,060 it. We talked earlier about the 1071 01:03:36,060 --> 01:03:39,860 wisdom he gives us. So even in a hard or tough 1072 01:03:39,860 --> 01:03:43,820 situation, we can have the ability to navigate right 1073 01:03:43,820 --> 01:03:47,260 through it smoothly. And it seemed like, wow, how did 1074 01:03:47,260 --> 01:03:50,420 I do that? Well, it's because of the power 1075 01:03:50,420 --> 01:03:56,460 on the inside that gave you the ability to know what to do, know 1076 01:03:56,460 --> 01:04:00,880 what to say, how to react, where to go with it, right? 1077 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:06,360 So let the Holy Spirit be our navigation system, right? 1078 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,800 Let him stir, stir you up every day. 1079 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:16,240 Let him guide you, navigate you, so that you can be following 1080 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:21,200 exactly the direction that would God would have you do in your 1081 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:32,240 whole life and everything.
