00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith, Message podcast 

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,800
from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:21,600
Now enjoyed this message. 
Let's turn over to Matthew 

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,800
chapter 3. 
Amen. 

5
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:31,200
So I want to talk to you about 
being the being advantageous, 

6
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:32,900
it's advantageous. 
Okay. 

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,300
And we have the advantage, all 
right. 

8
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,000
Just like you should have said, 
we have the advantage. 

9
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:39,700
I don't care. 
What's going on, we have the 

10
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,700
advantage, right? 
And it's all about the right 

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,000
perspective with the word, OK? 
And again as the day draws 

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,700
nearer and things get more dark 
are you know? 

13
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,100
More difficult times are seen. 
I'm becoming a little more 

14
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,000
convinced. 
It's not so much that it's more 

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,300
because it will be more, but 
it's just that will hear it so 

16
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,400
much. 
Okay. 

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,900
It's kind of like things that 
happen in our nation. 

18
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,800
Now if you really did certain 
polling, there are certain 

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,200
things that we act like is, you 
know, everybody's doing. 

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,900
But if you actually look at the 
percentage of people doing, it's

21
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:25,000
really not that much just like 
such a minority of people who 

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,700
have certain Certain mindsets. 
But yet, when you push things, 

23
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,300
it seems like it's huge, right? 
Okay. 

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,900
You know, and that's typically 
how - news travels anyway. 

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,100
So to speak, is that all of a 
sudden, you know, people pick up

26
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,400
on the negative and it seems way
bigger than what it really is. 

27
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,600
So there are going to be a lot 
of horrible things going on in 

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,400
our world and we just have way 
more access to that information.

29
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,800
And if we're feeding on it or 
keeping our ears, then I'm 

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,300
telling you, it's going to be 
very challenging. 

31
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,900
Challenging for us, although it 
doesn't have to be but even in 

32
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,800
that we actually have the 
advantage, we have the advantage

33
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:06,500
and so we must maintain that 
perspective. 

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Appreciate what Pastor Marcy 
ministered on last week about 

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,600
help yourself. 
Right? 

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,700
Because you have the helper and 
I'm going to deal with the 

37
00:02:12,708 --> 00:02:17,100
helper even tonight because at 
the end of the day we as a 

38
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,700
church we are the church. 
Jesus is building and the 

39
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:24,000
church. 
Jesus builds is a Spirit-filled 

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,800
church. 
We're Spirit-filled church, 

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,900
okay? 
And because we're Spirit-filled 

42
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,900
church, it gives us the greatest
access to the word of God, 

43
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,300
because it's the spirit that 
reveals the word. 

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,800
So if you have a church that 
preaches the Bible, but the 

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,100
spirits not there, then it will 
lack Revelation which means then

46
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,700
the word they preach is actually
religion. 

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,000
Because man has to try to reveal
it and the spirits not there to 

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,400
do so That's good but being a 
Spirit-filled church then you're

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400
saying Holy Spirit. 
We can't even understand this 

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,800
word without you so please 
reveal Jesus Christ to us. 

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Who is the word? 
So that we can embrace it. 

52
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,300
Do it, believe it, stand in it. 
Walk in it. 

53
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,000
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
And do it. 

54
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,600
All right, so, in Matthew 
chapter 3 verses 13 to 17. 

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,900
It says that this way then Jesus
arrived From Galilee at the 

56
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:25,900
Jordan coming to John to be 
baptized by him, but John Tried 

57
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:32,100
to prevent him saying, I have 
need to be baptized by you and 

58
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:34,500
do you come to me? 
But Jesus answering said to him 

59
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,900
permit. 
At this time, for, in this way, 

60
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,800
it is fitting for us to fulfill 
all righteousness. 

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,900
Then he permitted him after 
being baptized Jesus, came up 

62
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:46,100
immediately from the water, and 
behold, the heavens were opened,

63
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,600
and he saw the spirit of God 
descending as a dove and 

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,500
Lighting on him. 
Now, that doesn't mean the holy 

65
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,700
spirit is a dove. 
I don't care what all the logos 

66
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:59,100
look like. 
The holy spirit is not a bird. 

67
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,700
It's not a bird and he doesn't 
bring feathers. 

68
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:08,600
All the spirit of God fell man. 
There's feathers in the room. 

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,600
No. 
That's wacky. 

70
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,100
Okay, I'm just going to be 
clear. 

71
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:18,000
We got start dealing with bunch 
of wacky stuff. 

72
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,700
We're gonna start calling out 
wackiness. 

73
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:30,400
Okay, so it just descended upon 
him as a dove. 

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,400
So as a dove would descend, 
that's what basically the Holy 

75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,300
Spirit came came upon him and 
behold a voice out of Heaven. 

76
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,800
Said, this is my beloved Son in 
whom I'm well pleased now. 

77
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,500
Jesus up to this point has done,
no public preaching. 

78
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,200
Okay, now he is extremely 
knowledgeable so much so that 

79
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
when he was younger younger than
30 when he was back, when he's 

80
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,400
about 13 years old, he's in a 
synagogue teaching the Pharisee,

81
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
they're blown away at his 
knowledge of scripture. 

82
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:58,500
But he's not publicly teaching 
anybody, right? 

83
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,800
He's not publicly going out and 
doing Ministry because he knows 

84
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,000
if you're going to do real 
Ministry from the father, you 

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,500
gonna have to have the spirit 
the Holy Spirit period. 

86
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,300
You need to have everything. 
The Holy Spirit offers. 

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,900
And as a church, we need to 
understand. 

88
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:17,200
We must Embrace everything, the 
spirit of God offers. 

89
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,300
Now, I've actually ministered 
this message at the beginning of

90
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:24,000
the year to our staff. 
It was a leadership lesson that 

91
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,600
I meant. 
Stirred called we are a 

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,900
Spirit-filled organization 
because at the end of the day 

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,800
whether we're preschool, private
school Cafe are of the church. 

94
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,700
Underneath this route, we are 
spirit filled We do things 

95
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,300
Beyond Excellence, we do things 
with fullness, we're led by the 

96
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:47,200
spirit. 
We cut stuff off. 

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,700
We don't let things linger. 
Now we can have things accused 

98
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:58,400
of us but I know that we are 
righteous and God always 

99
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,000
vindicates us because the world 
comes against the righteous and 

100
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
the world comes against the 
spirit of God. 

101
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:11,900
I realize that but I so trust 
the Holy Ghost and I know he is 

102
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:15,000
for me and not against me. 
Are you hear me? 

103
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,900
That's why I got to stay close 
to the spirit of God. 

104
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,200
Talking about the spirit of God 
that the Bible talks about, I'm 

105
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
talking about the anointing of 
God, I'm talking about the 

106
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400
anointing that breaks the Yoke. 
I'm going at the anointing that 

107
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,400
drives demons out. 
I'm gonna mine an anointing that

108
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,600
when an attack comes, will lift 
up a standard, it's a no 

109
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,400
further. 
I mean I trust him the Holy 

110
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,900
Ghost goes my natural things can
only go so far. 

111
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:45,500
I have to trust that the Holy 
Ghost will disarm this and break

112
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:48,000
that down and do this because 
most of the challenges we even 

113
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,900
have With a church or the 
preschool, or with Washington, 

114
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,500
or even with a cafe for that 
matter or anything. 

115
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:56,200
We even with them all, is that 
there are principalities and 

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,800
powers that try to come against 
the word of God and the power of

117
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,800
God. 
And I'm like, Lord, I don't know

118
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,700
how to do it all, but when I 
can't do, you can do and you 

119
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:11,100
shut it down. 
Because my trust is in him at 

120
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,500
the end of the day, I trust in 
him. 

121
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,500
This and I'm just going to be 
honest, you come against thank 

122
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,800
of a church. 
You're coming against the 

123
00:07:18,808 --> 00:07:22,800
anointing. 
You're gonna have to deal with 

124
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,100
God. 
Nothing personal on my end. 

125
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:31,800
I just love Jesus. 
I serve him and we do it 

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,400
according to the word period. 
Hallelujah, people have 

127
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,100
opinions, but they don't mean 
nothing to me. 

128
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,100
Are you hearing me? 
So Jesus doesn't even do 

129
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,700
ministry till this anointing 
gets on him till the spirit. 

130
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,800
Now we're talkin about Jesus, 
who is a Son of God and has 

131
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,900
never sinned. 
This is a sinless son of man. 

132
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,300
But a sinless son of man doesn't
go out Minister until the Holy 

133
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:04,900
Ghost gives him power. 
Are you hearing me now? 

134
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:08,700
Jesus, it says this concerning 
and you know what? 

135
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,000
Jesus said, he said in Luke 
chapter 4, he says, the spirit 

136
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,600
of the Lord is upon me for he 
has what anointed me to preach, 

137
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,100
which tells me until he came 
upon him. 

138
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,900
He's like I don't have what I 
what you need to preach. 

139
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,500
Which tells me this, if some of 
y'all are staying full, you 

140
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,100
might need to keep your mouth 
shut. 

141
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:37,000
Because there's nothing dryer or
dead, or if that's the word, or 

142
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,900
more dead than a person with the
word without the spirit. 

143
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,700
Because when you don't stay full
of the spirit. 

144
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,100
And you know what? 
I know someone's full of the 

145
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,400
spirit. 
They got Joy about themselves. 

146
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,200
You know, they can engage in 
conversation. 

147
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,400
They're not touchy. 
They're not people can't like 

148
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,900
get them all beat up. 
They can't. 

149
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,200
They don't run out of the room. 
They don't wait till the last 

150
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,800
minute. 
Smith. 

151
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800
I mean they're hungry for God, 
man. 

152
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:05,500
They're not, I casually walking 
around, you know, and talking 

153
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:08,500
here and doing here and doing 
that, you know, and it get it, 

154
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,000
get all in a tizzy when 
something in the certain way. 

155
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
I mean, I'm like, man, they need
to get full of spirit, which 

156
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,300
tells me then they become a 
Pharisee. 

157
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:25,400
Gotta Stay full of the spirit 
and in these last days, you 

158
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,200
better stay full of the spirit 
because he's the only one who's 

159
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,900
going to navigate you through 
every situation, you encounter. 

160
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,700
Hallelujah. 
But this is what I love about. 

161
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,300
What Jesus said about the Holy 
Ghost. 

162
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:40,600
He says this in chapter 16 verse
17. 

163
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,500
He says his, but I tell you the 
truth. 

164
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,500
So this is not Allah. 
Is this the truth? 

165
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:49,900
Okay, so let's listen up now, 
right? 

166
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Let's listen up. 
It is to your, who's, who's, 

167
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:00,400
who's to your advantage? 
That I go away for, if I don't 

168
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,200
go away, the paraclete eyes, the
helper the comforter, the an 

169
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,000
advocate, the intercessor of the
counselor to strengthen her to 

170
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
stand by. 
To Pastor Mark. 

171
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,300
She broke down so great. 
Last week, if you need some 

172
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:12,900
help, some self-help, there's 
your help, right? 

173
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,500
Will not come to you, but if I 
go I will send him the Holy 

174
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,600
Spirit to you to be in close 
fellowship with you. 

175
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,300
Now, let me tell you something, 
you ain't in close fellowship 

176
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:25,000
with the Holy Ghost? 
If you don't have a regimen of 

177
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,200
being intimate, with the word, 
wanting to read the word, 

178
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,100
spending time in prayer and 
praying in the spirit, you're 

179
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:36,800
not in intimacy. 
Okay it won't like what I you 

180
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,700
know we all went to church three
weeks ago. 

181
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,800
And I listen to Christian music.
Oh Jesus. 

182
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:50,700
But I'll tell you, the truth is 
to your advantage, which tells 

183
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:55,300
me, then I have the advantage. 
I have the advantage. 

184
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:01,700
And because I will live 
righteous, I always stay in the 

185
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:05,700
position of advantageous. 
Period. 

186
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,700
I will not let my flesh show up.
I will crucify it when it does. 

187
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:13,600
I'm a you're gonna die. 
Don't even start talking to me. 

188
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,800
Are you hearing me? 
This is why we got to understand

189
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,100
why when our flesh and our 
spirit battle daily. 

190
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200
We have to kill that flesh 
because we got to maintain the 

191
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,300
advantage. 
We need the advantage because 

192
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:27,900
there's a lot going on and know 
this. 

193
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:30,100
The devil only comes to kill, 
steal, and destroy. 

194
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:33,200
He's always looking for a way 
even when there's not a way in, 

195
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,900
He'll pretend there is. 
Right, I mean couldn't get away 

196
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:42,300
with Daniel so they had to make 
a law to get Daniel in trouble. 

197
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,400
So they make up stuff. 
How about Jesus? 

198
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,000
What do they got to do? 
Bring false accusers. 

199
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:02,700
Said he was doing stuff. 
He wasn't doing mama, mama And 

200
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:05,000
there's nothing worse than being
a false accuser. 

201
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:09,700
I'm telling you. 
I mean, God takes us to 

202
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:14,500
personal. 
God takes when you accuse others

203
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,600
real personal. just remember 
what happened to Moses sister 

204
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,800
running off at the mouth about 
the man of God, and if she shows

205
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,700
up with leprosy, But where was 
the heart of Moses? 

206
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:32,800
Oh Lord. 
Please see. 

207
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200
That's righteousness talking, 
the heart of God. 

208
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,300
He's like look if a child 
spitting her parents. 

209
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,900
Do you know, there's going to be
a consequence. 

210
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:44,400
She going to have this for seven
days period, put her out to 

211
00:12:44,408 --> 00:12:47,800
camp. 
And it was her problem. 

212
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Why? 
Cuz she's running off at the 

213
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,300
mouth? 
Running off at the mouth. 

214
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Well, you better get under the 
blood fast. 

215
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,600
They'll forgive me. 
Didn't mean to run off at the 

216
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,200
mouth and he said, only reason a
person is running off at the 

217
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
mouth and accusing things 
falsely is because they're not 

218
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,200
full of the spirit. 
Because people full of the 

219
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,300
spirit, if a wrong is to 
actually taking place, they want

220
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:19,400
to see reconciliation, they're 
not there in the demand mode. 

221
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,100
They are there in a, how can we 
get this right Moe? 

222
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:31,100
Are you hearing me? 
I think God's for me and not 

223
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,700
against me. 
So what happens to us in Acts 

224
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,000
1:8? 
But you shall receive what power

225
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,700
when the Hulk went. 
The power s ability efficiency 

226
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:41,800
and might when the Holy Spirit 
has come upon you and you shall 

227
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,900
be my Witnesses in Jerusalem, 
Judea and Samaria. 

228
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:48,200
And To The Ends the very bounds 
of the earth and Ephesians, 5:18

229
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,200
says be but be filled with the 
spirit. 

230
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:59,800
He meant be filled with the 
spirit but be filled Old with 

231
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,100
the spirit. 
Are you hearing me? 

232
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:06,700
Now, let me just say something. 
If you're just reading the word 

233
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,700
You can be filled with the 
spirit, reading the word. 

234
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,900
If your heart is teach me, Holy 
Spirit, what's there to do the 

235
00:14:14,908 --> 00:14:18,300
work, the spirit of God is going
to fill you in that moment. 

236
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Now, if you're just reading the 
word and you're disconnected, 

237
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,100
well, then you're not allowing 
the spirit to absorb that word 

238
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,900
their into your heart. 
Give you a revelation and 

239
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:31,300
something else. 
Are you hear me? 

240
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,500
You've got to go to that word by
faith. 

241
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,500
In the spirit will be there 
because the word in the spirit 

242
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,400
of actually in Both we are the 
ones who try to separate that. 

243
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,900
Now, when we separate it, then 
we make the word religious and 

244
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,200
they, anything spirit is 
demonic. 

245
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Almost say it again, is demonic.
Because the devil will talk like

246
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,100
God and so will familiar 
spirits, meaning they'll use 

247
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,900
scripture but out of context to 
manipulate. 

248
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:09,700
So what we have to be wise in us
as keep them together, That's 

249
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,400
why we always read the Bible. 
We keep it foremost as our 

250
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,400
foundation. 
We're always saying, you got to 

251
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,600
read it. 
You have to keep under. 

252
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,400
You got to do it, you have to do
it. 

253
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,000
And that's whether we're 
checking in on you or not. 

254
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,500
The audacity that you would 
check with, I read the Bob or 

255
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,000
Not The Audacity Of you be 
offended. 

256
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:33,200
I check. 
Aren't you? 

257
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,100
Glad you check your checking 
account? 

258
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,400
All right. 
Yeah, that is good. 

259
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,300
Christopher you bet that's good.
May not, you know how many 

260
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:47,500
husbands be mad at their wives? 
They want checking account? 

261
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,500
We went in a - again. 
Well I didn't check it. 

262
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,400
You got to check the account. 
Well let me check your Bible. 

263
00:15:54,500 --> 00:16:02,600
Okay first John 4:4 I'm look I 
got a little Central America 

264
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,800
coming off me right now. 
Right. 

265
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,800
A Little Mexico. 
I got a was it way way. 

266
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Go way goes happening right 
here. 

267
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,000
They were shouting that out 
while I was preaching. 

268
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,100
So I'm like, is that was, I'm 
assuming that was good, wiggle 

269
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,200
wiggle. 
I had once a a chihuahua. 

270
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,500
Straight up said I Chihuahua. 
I was pretty sure I now it was 

271
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,800
when I made a statement about 
some things and lean like a 

272
00:16:30,808 --> 00:16:32,900
chola. 
Sure death. 

273
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,100
And then I made another state 
because they asked a question. 

274
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,000
What what do you do with the 
leader who wants to attend 

275
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,600
meetings? 
But then when you need them to 

276
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,000
attend the event they won't 
come. 

277
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,500
That was a question. 
I said, well, I would do 

278
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:51,200
however, meaning meetings they 
came and the events they missed.

279
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,800
I would go to them and say, hey 
based upon your action you come 

280
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,000
to the meetings but you know, 
actually produce the fruit of 

281
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,200
meeting. 
So you're no longer invited to 

282
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:05,099
the meeting and they went whoa 
whoa like That's bold. 

283
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:14,099
Well, that's what you should do.
Are you hearing me people want 

284
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,099
to be at like they doing 
something without doing 

285
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,300
something? 
All right. 

286
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,400
Amen. 
First job. 

287
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,599
One first, John 4:4 says, it's 
you are from God little children

288
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:31,300
and have overcome them because 
greater is he, who is in you 

289
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,400
than he who is in the world? 
Are you hear me now? 

290
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,200
I don't have time to go all the 
way back to this past month 

291
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,300
where I talked about knowing 
your why got to examine your, 

292
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:45,900
why remember I talked about that
and talk about these selfish 

293
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:50,000
ambition member If you go back 
online, which maybe that was a 

294
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,900
Sunday that I did that one. 
But anyway, I kind of went 

295
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:55,500
through scripture then talked 
about how people were saying, 

296
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:58,700
Lord, Lord, you know, didn't we 
do this? 

297
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,900
And all these particular things,
but the problem is, they made it

298
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:05,300
acknowledgement with God, but 
they weren't followers of God. 

299
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:07,200
And I made the statement you 
have to do, more than 

300
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,400
acknowledge God, you have to 
follow him, okay. 

301
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,900
And then I said, how do you 
avoid this way? 

302
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,700
He's becomes really, Lord of 
your life, okay? 

303
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,100
It's not like you're just trying
to get Jesus to Except the way 

304
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,900
you do him, okay? 
And you have to be very 

305
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,600
conscientious as a lot of people
that are trying that A lot of 

306
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,900
people are trying to do him like
they want to do and him accept 

307
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:32,300
it. 
And then what's worse? 

308
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:38,000
Is they try to put that on us? 
They try to put that on us, 

309
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,800
like, they're doing Jesus. 
But you understand heart and 

310
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,500
motive always manifests 
especially when your spirit 

311
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:50,700
filled, When your spirit filled,
you'll be able to discern those 

312
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,400
things. 
And you'll be at a pray about, 

313
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,900
and you'll be at a stand against
them. 

314
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,200
And most of that is not a 
personal confrontation, although

315
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,000
that can be a lot of times that 
is a job, take this to prayer 

316
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:03,900
because you know, God really 
wants in those ways. 

317
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:05,700
A lot of time. 
Let me just say that the 

318
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:08,400
majority of the time. 
God really wants to fight those 

319
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,600
battles for you. 
Say is God, fighting a battle 

320
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,300
for me. 
Yes, and it's this one vengeance

321
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:14,900
is mine. 
Thus saith the Lord. 

322
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:18,200
I will repay. 
That's New Testament was tells 

323
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,900
That if I say, I don't have to 
defend my character. 

324
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,200
I'll just make room for the Holy
Ghost now. 

325
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,600
And I long as I handle this 
thing exactly. 

326
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,400
As the spirit tells me then 
vengeance is mine, saith the 

327
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Lord. 
I will repay and you don't want 

328
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,300
to be on the side when vengeance
is showing up from the Lord. 

329
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,600
New Testament. 
Are you hearing me? 

330
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:53,500
Okay? 
But we are a church that's full 

331
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:57,500
of Advantage is that we are? 
We have advantageous. 

332
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:01,000
We are advantageous. 
Okay, it's advantageous. 

333
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,200
We are at the advantage because 
the Bible's clear of the spirit 

334
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,800
that we have and there's quite a
few statements concerning it. 

335
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,100
So as a church Spirit-filled we 
have the spirit of Truth. 

336
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:20,200
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
We have the spirit of Truth. 

337
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,200
John, 15:26 says it this way, 
when the helper comes whom I 

338
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,500
sent to you from the father, 
that is the spirit of Truth, who

339
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:31,400
proceeds from the father, he 
will testify about me. 

340
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:35,200
He'll what, what will he do? 
What will he do? 

341
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,100
I remember a long time ago this 
long time ago. 

342
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,800
A couple of our church long 
before I was ever in this 

343
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,400
building, had them in a 
particular area of ministry and 

344
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,500
and, you know, one of them to 
oversee it. 

345
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:52,200
There was some training that 
they had had so, you know, the 

346
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,800
the ability to do was there, 
okay? 

347
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,900
Again, the talent 5 to 1 is 
given by a bility. 

348
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,900
So the ability for them to do 
this assignment was there 

349
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,600
however, they weren't doing it 
for the church. 

350
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:12,300
They started kind of doing 
things on their own, like a 

351
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:14,800
personal deal. 
Well, in the realm of 

352
00:21:14,808 --> 00:21:17,400
accountability as pastor and 
because they oversee, a brought 

353
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,000
them in had the conversation. 
Why are we doing this? 

354
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,400
Well then they were newly 
married, and you know, there's a

355
00:21:24,408 --> 00:21:28,100
blending of merging that takes 
place over some challenges in 

356
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,200
general there, as well. 
So, you're working those things 

357
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,300
out. 
But again, if you're really 

358
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,100
going to help people, you let me
say it this way, I can only help

359
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,900
people who are honest with 
themselves. 

360
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:42,200
Because if you're not honest 
with yourself, can't fix you. 

361
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,000
If you don't want to fix 
yourself, you're not gonna get 

362
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
fixed. 
Jesus is not going to fix you. 

363
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,900
Geez, now, go renew your mind. 
You have to do it, right? 

364
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:52,600
Jesus won't even make you born 
again, you have to pray the 

365
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,700
prayer faith and then you have 
to work diligently to get your 

366
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,500
mind right, right. 
Okay. 

367
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
So again if you're not going to 
be honest to be really wanting 

368
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,800
to grow, but that doesn't mean 
that God will not give your 

369
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,200
pastor to sermon a where you at 
because once the advantage of 

370
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,600
the spirit is to help pull the 
truth of a situation to the 

371
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,400
surface because truth is just 
not God said this. 

372
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,600
That's true. 
Truth is I know what you're 

373
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:26,800
thinking. cause truth can show 
up to a word of knowledge, which

374
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,700
is a gift of the spirit will 
talk about that a little bit 

375
00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:34,500
later, which means then Jesus 
got in a room and he's like, get

376
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,700
up and be healed. 
This blind, you know, man that 

377
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:40,400
came through the roof or he says
your sins are forgiven. 

378
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:44,200
Well, he hears by the spirit, 
not because they were audible to

379
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,700
his ears. 
But I only God can forgive this 

380
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:52,400
man is blaspheming and he says, 
why do you say in your heart? 

381
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,800
Now the mini makes that 
statement. 

382
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600
He's making a truth statement by
the spirit of Truth. 

383
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:02,100
He's exposing Their condition of
their heart. 

384
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,900
The callousness and the 
Rebellion instead of them being 

385
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:09,600
like what is this? 
You know and wanting to Rejoice 

386
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,800
that God is doing something and 
maybe we're somewhere else but 

387
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:17,000
get indignant because it's 
threatening them because they 

388
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,600
want to keep them like them. 
They want to stay like they want

389
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,800
to stay. 
So in turn he ends up saying to 

390
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,600
let you know I have authority in
both get up walk and he did 

391
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,400
which was letting them know. 
I can forgive the sins too. 

392
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,900
Now They didn't accept that 
obviously, right? 

393
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,900
And notably, they had him 
murdered. 

394
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,000
But who wins in the end? 
What's his name? 

395
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:46,200
Jesus? 
Right. 

396
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,100
And they'll stand trial. 
They never repented. 

397
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,100
That's all. 
I'm just saying. 

398
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,600
There's nothing that they're 
doing that won't go to an 

399
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
account. 
But, you know, so here's this 

400
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800
whole young couple, we're 
dealing with stuff and, you 

401
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,000
know, you're realizing man. 
You're like, man, there's some, 

402
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,700
we got some walls, we got some 
issues, we got some past hurts, 

403
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:05,000
we got some things, we gotta let
go up, you know, so you're a 

404
00:24:05,008 --> 00:24:08,600
shark talking to you start 
seeing how one spouse is being 

405
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,500
pitted against the church now, 
because This spouse doesn't 

406
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,700
want. 
To change. 

407
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:21,800
So one time after Wednesday 
night, they called me into the 

408
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,100
office said, pastor want to talk
to you super sweet, okay, sit 

409
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,100
down pastor and it Starlight 
past. 

410
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,100
We really appreciate you, so 
they always start really 

411
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,200
appreciate you. 
Appreciate all that, you've done

412
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,300
for us. 
That's at the other bit, you 

413
00:24:34,308 --> 00:24:38,100
know, we really believe the Lord
has called us to leave and go 

414
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:39,600
somewhere in this is our last 
night. 

415
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,200
Right now, you understand. 
Here's the car. 

416
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,700
They're playing. 
I heard God and you can't 

417
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:52,300
challenge that. 
So they do. 

418
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,900
Here's a card, can't challenge 
it, unbeknownst to them. 

419
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,600
I did. 
I said, well, I don't believe 

420
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,900
that's God. 
I said, because what I don't 

421
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:05,700
understand is why in the world 
they get a two week. 

422
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:10,300
Notice, you have a major 
leadership oversight and you're 

423
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:14,600
just abandoning it in his church
like that. 

424
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,900
Yeah, then the husband said, 
well, we're going because I'm 

425
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,800
starting to see my wife. 
Like, you've been saying, well, 

426
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,600
I'm not saying maybe you're 
seeing what the problem is and 

427
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,400
you need to rise up and meet a 
husband and help your wife to 

428
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:43,700
the next level. 
But didn't left six months 

429
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,900
later, a note was left at the 
home by the wife that they left 

430
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:52,700
them. 
They got divorced. 

431
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:57,500
I ended up saying that 
individual later. 30 pounds 

432
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,800
lighter. 
I mean, went through hell. 

433
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:08,200
But you know why? 
Because once spirit-led, And 

434
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,900
what willing to say, you know 
what, I love her enough to help 

435
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:16,100
her pass this issue. 
Now, the end of the day. 

436
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,500
They were in the best 
environment for that to happen, 

437
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:22,600
but the minute you disconnect 
from the church. 

438
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,400
Right won't do it. 
I mean at the end of the day you

439
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,100
can't make the other one do it 
anyway, right? 

440
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,000
I mean God we ain't going to 
make you change because if you 

441
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,300
don't want to change you don't 
want to change. 

442
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:36,000
What I'm saying is this Spirit 
of Truth revealed things in the 

443
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,500
meeting but they wanted their 
way instead and it resulted in 

444
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,800
marital Separation. 
Now here's good news because you

445
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,800
know I want you to have good 
news the husband because 

446
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
ultimately though they made the 
mistake and left never wanted. 

447
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,300
Decker always wanted to stay 
married. 

448
00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:03,300
Alright, got restored has. 
Another wife has children and 

449
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:05,900
gods bless them. 
The other one. 

450
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:06,700
I have. 
No. 

451
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,700
Informational. 
None. 

452
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,100
None. 
This is what I know when you're 

453
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:19,600
righteous, you recover when your
unrighteous we don't hear about 

454
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:26,800
you anymore. 
Are you hearing me now? 

455
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,300
I'm trying to teach you 
something. 

456
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,400
Because in the last days, what's
so difficult for me, as your 

457
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,900
pastor is I've been here which 
means then you know you always 

458
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:40,000
run the risk that people like 
trying to figure out who someone

459
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000
is. 
All right. 

460
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,100
Now, you know, if I feel like 
this is going to become a 

461
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:46,500
problem, I'll just say another 
church then you won't know. 

462
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:53,800
Well, pastor at a certain time. 
I'll just keep it so vague about

463
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:59,700
is he talking about, right? 
It's the principle. 

464
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:01,600
It's not about you. 
Trying to look across the 

465
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,000
island. 
Figure out who somebody is. 

466
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,500
Okay, they're not here at all. 
So you don't have to worry about

467
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:08,000
that anyway. 
My point is, it's the principle 

468
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,400
in the matter because at the end
of the day, do you think I 

469
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,900
wanted that to take place? 
Do you think God wanted that to 

470
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:18,700
take place yet everything that 
we're saying if they only would 

471
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:23,400
have heated the spirit of Truth?
Have changed. 

472
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:26,500
Because the spirit of Truth is 
not here. 

473
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:29,300
Just to give you Bible 
Revelation, the spirit of Truth.

474
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:31,100
Say the truth is your hearts 
wrong. 

475
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:35,200
The truth is you're offended 
right now with so-and-so because

476
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,100
you'll go and listen to such and
such preach, but anytime someone

477
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:39,800
else preaches you hang out in 
the lobby. 

478
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,800
So let's just get real now 
because if you can't listen to 

479
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,400
every person that comes up here 
to speak, then you might have a 

480
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,300
problem with somebody which is 
really you and you need to get 

481
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:58,400
that, right? 
All right, because the spirit of

482
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,200
Truth talking, it was so great 
about having the spirit of 

483
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,400
Truth. 
Not only will he reveal God to 

484
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,900
me so that I can accept it as 
truth and in stand in the truth 

485
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,000
of God's word but he'll reveal 
truth about me, he'll reveal 

486
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,600
truth about situations. 
So that I can say, okay, this is

487
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,000
really what's going on here. 
Now, how do I navigate that? 

488
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:24,900
All right, I understand that 
that text looks like, but that's

489
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:28,300
not what they meant. 
Why is the spirit of Truth tells

490
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:31,100
me that if I just read it I 
think they hate me. 

491
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,200
Wow, I thought they loved me. 
Most of y'all have really bad 

492
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,900
days over at X because you 
filter any Motion in the words. 

493
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,300
That's not even there but the 
spirit of Truth tell you, okay. 

494
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400
John 16:13 says but when he the 
spirit of truth comes, he will 

495
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,300
guide you into what Ultra. 
That's why that's so important 

496
00:29:54,300 --> 00:30:00,500
not just Bible truth but all 
truth I said all truth all truth

497
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,900
when the world starts to shut 
down because of things. 

498
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,300
Are they begin to tell you these
things are occur? 

499
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:10,100
You can say once the What? 
Maybe we won't get down to. 

500
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:13,000
I know the person's name and 
when it started and where it 

501
00:30:13,008 --> 00:30:16,000
occurred and I'm going to call 
the CIA and the FBI and let them

502
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,300
go find out about it, right? 
I'm not saying that, although 

503
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:22,200
that could happen and that means
they would have to believe you 

504
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400
had that. 
And I'm not saying they will, 

505
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400
they may show up at your house 
because you know that much 

506
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,200
information and at that point, 
you better have enough anointing

507
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,400
like Elijah. 
Or Elijah that you can say there

508
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,800
are more for us than there are 
for them. you might not want to 

509
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,500
come in here, because Fire might
fall. 

510
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,900
I'm just warning. 
You okay? 

511
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:53,700
If we go, we go right? 
He will guide you into all 

512
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:54,900
truth. 
He will not speak on his own 

513
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,400
initiative, but whatever he 
hears he will speak and he 

514
00:30:57,408 --> 00:30:59,100
disclosed it. 
Now, let's key on here real 

515
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:00,300
quick. 
Maybe I'll just break this up to

516
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,800
two more Wednesday nights. 
Yes, I probably will. 

517
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:05,500
But when he the spirit of truth 
comes, he will guide you into 

518
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,200
all truth, right? 
Not just Bible Truth for he will

519
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,300
not speak on his own initiative,
which means when you hear him, 

520
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,700
he's getting this from 
somewhere. 

521
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:16,400
Why is it that we resist? 
That not like mine. 

522
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:23,300
I can't be. 
When look, I'm just telling you 

523
00:31:23,308 --> 00:31:25,300
what the king is telling me he's
seeing about you. 

524
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:30,900
I'm just telling you what the 
king knows about this situation.

525
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:36,400
You don't know, it's amazing how
quick people jump to judgments 

526
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,900
about stuff. 
My wife and I was talking about 

527
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:40,800
this situation, I won't talk 
about it here. 

528
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,300
Okay, that's happening in the 
world. 

529
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:47,100
Okay? 
And and I was like I said, this 

530
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:50,000
is what God has. 
I said, I don't understand why 

531
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,700
people jump on the bandwagon. 
I said, we have a Biblical 

532
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,500
scripture that says be quick to 
hear slow to speak. 

533
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,900
Speak and slow to wrath because 
the Wrath is, they're really 

534
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:04,400
just saying how they can't 
believe they're doing this, that

535
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,400
the other. 
And yet, you may not have enough

536
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,500
information for you to declare 
just because a majority of 

537
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:12,400
people agree with your opinion, 
doesn't mean they just truths 

538
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,700
about it. 
That we've got to be people to 

539
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,300
say, there's a lot going on, a 
lot of information. 

540
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,600
And if I need to tune in by the 
spirit of God, to get something 

541
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,200
really more specific on, what's 
happening there, guess what? 

542
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,400
I have the advantage. 
I don't have to go to the FBI 

543
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,100
and go in there. 
See all their secret top secret,

544
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:35,400
super, super secret file, to 
determine what's going on. 

545
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Seriously, we don't have to do 
that. 

546
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,800
We already have the advantage 
because the spirit of truth 

547
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:47,900
knows the documents by heart. he
could translate us into the room

548
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:58,100
if you needed to know for some 
reason, The reason why. 

549
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:03,300
Most of us don't know that 
Reese, it is because we couldn't

550
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,600
handle that information and then
we look like a lunatic. 

551
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,600
We start talking about mine. 
I know I was there. 

552
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,500
Translated. 
He's got to have wisdom, right? 

553
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,300
But not in that, I mean if God 
is telling you to do that, then 

554
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:21,200
there's a platform Hill and the 
anointing a show up in that 

555
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,400
deal. 
But most people are trying to 

556
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,700
get their own platforms and 
that's the problem. 

557
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:29,400
Okay? 
The only platform I want is 

558
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,400
whatever he gives me and I just 
want to lean my ear into him 

559
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,400
because whatever I'm hearing is 
coming from a higher source. 

560
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,600
Hallelujah. 
And my decision-making is based 

561
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,200
upon a chair that's not in the 
Earth. 

562
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:51,800
I said, my decision making is 
based upon a chair that's not in

563
00:33:51,808 --> 00:33:54,500
the earth. 
It's the Throne of God. 

564
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,600
Are you hearing me another thing
that we have? 

565
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Because we're spirit filled 
church. 

566
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:04,100
As we have the spirit of power, 
we have the spirit of Truth. 

567
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:07,700
We have the spirit of power. 
Okay, now look what it says here

568
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,500
in second Timothy 1:7. 
Man, we should like put this on 

569
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:15,500
our, you should put this on your
mirrors at the house and on your

570
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:18,300
refrigerators because you go 
there enough and your 

571
00:34:18,308 --> 00:34:20,900
dishwashers. 
All right, so that's your see. 

572
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,300
Cuz you're brushing your teeth 
is your refrigerator cold, you 

573
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:25,500
feeding your face. 
And it's your dishwasher because

574
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:28,199
your To clean the clerk dishes 
that you can feed your face 

575
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:29,199
again. 
That you need to brush your 

576
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:33,699
teeth, okay, I'm not going to 
say put on the toilet because I 

577
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:37,699
was corrected in that Doctrine, 
long ago, all right? 

578
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:40,800
I used to talk like that, but 
then I realized that God, always

579
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,699
had that stuff way outside to 
Camp. 

580
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,000
So I'm not asking you to read 
scripture on the toilet. 

581
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,699
Now, if you read scripture on 
the toilet that's between you 

582
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:54,400
and God, I'm just saying I don't
put it on the toilet. 

583
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,500
No more. 
That's all I'm saying. 

584
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:07,100
All right, but you need to get 
this for God, has not given us a

585
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:14,100
spirit of fear And if there's 
anything prevailing in planet 

586
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:20,200
Earth today, it's that spirit. 
so, if there's anything in your 

587
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:26,300
life that gives you fear, You 
need to know right now that is 

588
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:34,000
not of God, because the fear of 
God isn't fear, it's all its 

589
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,300
this. 
How could I ever do anything 

590
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,900
that would dishonor, my key. 
How can I ever respond? 

591
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,400
That would dishonor my king. 
How can I ever speak something 

592
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,800
contrary? 
That would dishonor, my king, 

593
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:54,100
that's the fear of the Lord, but
so many people are afraid of So 

594
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:57,100
many things, it was amazing. 
How many people are still stuck 

595
00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:01,500
in fear in Mexico? 
We talked about it, stuck 

596
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:08,600
terrified and that's the spirit.
A spirit but God has not given 

597
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,500
us. 
Which means we should not accept

598
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:16,100
it, we should not accept it. 
And if there's something, if you

599
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:19,100
just can't seem to get a thought
of something, that's fearful you

600
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:22,400
need to go beyond just reading 
scripture, you need a rebuke it 

601
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,100
in the name of Jesus and then 
keep reading. 

602
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:32,500
Don't let the fear take you, but
what Spirit did he give us? 

603
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,700
So he's not given us a spirit of
fear, but meaning than he's 

604
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:42,900
given us a spirit of power. 
Right and of love and of Salman.

605
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:47,500
So we have a spirit of power. 
Now, you're at the advantage and

606
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:50,800
I know often when we talk about 
David and Goliath right? 

607
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,600
And the in our world it's always
the little guy against the giant

608
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,600
but you understand from Davis 
perspective he was always the 

609
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:04,500
Giant So the analogy only, I 
mean, if you're going to do it 

610
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:07,300
in real context is that it 
appears that? 

611
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:12,900
This is way bigger than this, 
but this really was always the 

612
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,000
mightiest when it came on the 
field. 

613
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:22,200
Period and I'll never see myself
at the disadvantage ever. 

614
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Ever, the only way I could ever 
since disadvantage, if I was in 

615
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,100
sin, if I knew, I would my 
heart's condemn me, because 

616
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:35,100
something ain't right, but by 
God, no, I'm not going there. 

617
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,500
I love God too much. 
I'm like, fleas the appearance. 

618
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,500
I mean, I'm gone so far as flee,
the appearance. 

619
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,700
They all cost the best you can 
do, flee the appearance. 

620
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,400
Because at the end of the day, I
want to maintain walk in my 

621
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,600
righteousness. 
I mean, I made in the 

622
00:37:53,608 --> 00:37:56,100
righteousness of God, I cry, but
I want my mind to be in 

623
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:58,700
righteousness, with God. 
I want to be walking in step 

624
00:37:58,700 --> 00:37:59,500
with him. 
Why? 

625
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,300
Cuz I want the power all the 
time. 

626
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:08,900
The power to deliver. 
The power to overcome. 

627
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,800
Right acts 10:38, you know, of 
Jesus of Nazareth, how God 

628
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,100
anointed him with the Holy 
Spirit and with power. 

629
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:21,800
And he went about doing good. 
And healing all who were 

630
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,900
oppressed of the devil for God 
was seeing what God is with. 

631
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:27,700
You, you got power. 
I said, you got power. 

632
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,600
I said you got power. 
You have power. 

633
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,600
Power. 
Now, that doesn't mean you don't

634
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,900
have trials, but you are the 
powerful one in the trial. 

635
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:44,200
Anka life will screaming out, 
like, you going to cut your head

636
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,300
off and do all these nasty 
things but you just say, no, I'm

637
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:53,200
in Covenant with God. 
And your attack against me will 

638
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:58,300
not prevail. 
It's not going to happen. 

639
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:03,500
See, I have to maintain my 
psyche on how powerful the holy 

640
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:07,400
spirit is with me. 
And I know when he's with me. 

641
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,400
and when he's for me because the
Bible tells, What I have to do 

642
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:18,400
to maintain the advantage. 
Are you hearing me? 

643
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:21,500
He said pastor roles that mean. 
No sin comes in aggravate 

644
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:23,000
Church. 
Sure sin comes in Ankeny a 

645
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,900
church but there's power to set 
it free because at the end of 

646
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:34,300
the day if they want to maintain
it they can't stay if Deception 

647
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:37,600
comes into the church. 
There's power here to confront 

648
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,900
it but if they don't want to 
change, they won't be able to 

649
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:45,000
stay. 
Lies gossip. 

650
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:50,300
Can't stay. 
Can't happen either repentance 

651
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:56,000
because there's power. 
To push it away and it's but 

652
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Powers there to change. 
But at the end of the day, if 

653
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,800
You Wiz, xizt power will push 
out. 

654
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:08,200
Are you hearing me? 
We have power, we have the 

655
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,200
truth, we have the power because
the spirit of truth, and the 

656
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,500
spirit of Paris, I'll give you 
one more tonight and then we'll 

657
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,200
come back and do this next week,
okay? 

658
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:22,200
We have the spirit of wisdom. 
The spirit of wisdom. 

659
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,100
Oh, I love this. 
I love this. 

660
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,400
Not only do we have our wisdom. 
We get to know what the Devils 

661
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:37,900
doing. 
Whoo, this is where I'm in an 

662
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:40,300
advantage, right? 
Because not only will the Lord 

663
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:45,700
give me the wisdom to come out. 
He'll give me the what's 

664
00:40:45,700 --> 00:40:48,100
happening with the Enemy? 
What's it say? 

665
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:54,900
We're not ignorant of the 
devil's devices, which means the

666
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:57,800
minute he reveals to us the 
truth of what the devil is 

667
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,500
trying to form against us that 
he's already told us this 

668
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:03,200
scripture. 
The, this is the Formed against 

669
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:10,200
you but it can't prosper. 
Now I can talk it. 

670
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:16,900
Can threaten It can even hire an
attorney that will lose. 

671
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,400
Because I have the greatest 
advocate. 

672
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,400
And my Advocate will give wisdom
to my natural advocate. 

673
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:40,100
Are you hearing me now? 
I would just assume people not 

674
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:42,700
be embarrassed and just deal 
with the spirit. 

675
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:44,700
That's they're talking to and 
listening to any way. 

676
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:47,700
Get that thing bound up where it
quits talking and quit, you 

677
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:49,900
know, motivate them so much and 
then it just let it go. 

678
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:54,600
And let's go on. 
But if people resist and guess 

679
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,900
what, it shows up in certain 
cases, and here you go, Walking 

680
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:01,400
in wisdom. 
I'll never forget when I we 

681
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,300
moved over to 312. 
Remember that for the how many 

682
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:06,000
who are there in our 312 
location. 

683
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,200
Raise your hand. 
I got a total of Washington, 

684
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:11,800
Washington has a science fair 
tomorrow so it means a lot of 

685
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800
parents are at home. 
Finishing their children's 

686
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,800
science projects tonight. 
It's going to be my speculations

687
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:24,400
so new rule new rule no science 
fairs on Thursdays. 

688
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,600
They will be on Fridays from now
on since I'm a part of the 

689
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:39,800
school board have just 
officially changed that it's to 

690
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,700
their advantage. 
They're here. 

691
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,600
And stay up later tonight to 
finish her science fair. 

692
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,700
If they procrastinated so long 
to get it done, okay? 

693
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,700
Back to 312. 
So I called about, could we be 

694
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:56,300
there? 
We could signed a lease. 

695
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,800
Okay, then all of a sudden as we
are remodeling it and we are on 

696
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,700
a Thursday night before the 
Sunday morning, we're going to 

697
00:43:03,708 --> 00:43:07,400
be in the news thing. 
The County Inspector showed up, 

698
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,200
and shut down our whole thing 
and said we weren't even allowed

699
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,700
to be there. 
I mean, he had to badge. 

700
00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:17,700
He had to pink paper. 
Stop work order. 

701
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:22,100
Yeah. 
So when I was confronted with 

702
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:29,700
that wisdom manifested, Wisdom 
and some other things. 

703
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,900
The spirit gives us, we'll talk 
about, you know, next week. 

704
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:36,900
But wisdom came on me. 
And I went to the individual and

705
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:41,100
I said, you know, sir being 
respectful because matters our 

706
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:42,400
Authority, you better be 
respectful. 

707
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,200
I've been telling my son, chase 
a travel in a few times. 

708
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,100
You don't smile enough at TSA 
and immigration says, son, you 

709
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:52,000
got a smoke Don't be going 
through immigration on me, not 

710
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,100
smiling. 
Don't do that man. 

711
00:43:57,100 --> 00:44:00,800
We Happy People how you doing. 
I'm not talking overly happy 

712
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,000
like you're on drugs or 
something. 

713
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:08,000
I'm talking just happy cheerful 
you know, Pleasant not assuming 

714
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:10,200
right. 
But I was a little questionable 

715
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,500
but how my son took his hat off 
going into Mexico. 

716
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:16,400
Take your hat off and my bro 
smile smile. 

717
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,000
When they ask you to take the 
hat off, I mean say, yes, ma'am.

718
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,500
I mean I told him we love. 
I said say yes ma'am. 

719
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:26,700
Next time and smile. 
Get off as say, yes, ma'am. 

720
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,100
Because I'll let you sit there 
for day to learn your lesson and

721
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:36,400
I'll get you out. 
I didn't tell you that, I 

722
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,600
wouldn't do that Alyssa, I get 
him right? 

723
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,300
But teach your husband, a smile 
at immigration, okay. 

724
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,700
All right. 
I don't care how hungry are 

725
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,500
smile. 
Okay, how early we got up, How 

726
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:50,500
you doing? 
It's great to be in your 

727
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:55,300
country. 
All right so I said sir you know

728
00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:58,100
what's the problem. 
So he communicate I said wow so 

729
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:01,400
well you know we called the 
county and I had a different 

730
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,800
response. 
He goes well I'm just the 

731
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,000
messenger. 
Don't shoot us so that's all 

732
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,000
right. 
I said you're just doing your 

733
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,600
job, I get it. 
I said you know is there a point

734
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,700
of contact or somebody I can do 
and he goes well you sure are 

735
00:45:10,700 --> 00:45:13,800
taking this. 
Well, I said sir, you're just 

736
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,600
doing your job, I get it. 
I'm just a little confused right

737
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,200
now, so I'm obviously going to 
need to get in contact with 

738
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,300
someone who's going to be at a 
point me in a direction. 

739
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:26,300
He says, man, I've gone into a 
lot of other churches and they 

740
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:27,900
don't handle this as well as you
do. 

741
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:33,000
Now, see that buzz? 
A very derogatory statement 

742
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,700
against a lot of other churches.
But I'm glad I had the spirit of

743
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:39,800
wisdom. 
I'm glad I didn't come out 

744
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,100
there, I'll panic when we gonna 
turn your shutting us down. 

745
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,800
Oh my God! 
What, what? 

746
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,600
Cause I have the Holy Ghost. 
I mean, it's not like, God 

747
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,900
doesn't know these things are 
going to occur and he trains us 

748
00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:54,000
for these moments. 
I mean, when you're getting a 

749
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,600
trial, say, I've been trying 
this is all right, let's let's 

750
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,100
handle this thing. 
Let's go ahead handle it with 

751
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:01,700
joy. 
And I got about a 15 things 

752
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:04,400
going on right now and I'm like,
laughing a half of them. 

753
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,900
What am I supposed to do? 
Cause the joy of the Lord is my,

754
00:46:08,900 --> 00:46:12,800
so I'm getting strong. 
I'm getting strong. 

755
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,200
So in the end it gives me a 
number, right? 

756
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,400
So I said I saw, I said sir, let
me ask this question because, 

757
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:24,700
you know, by All rights we were 
bringing our church here Sunday.

758
00:46:25,300 --> 00:46:28,500
And I said, you know, I there's 
no way I'm going to be at a 

759
00:46:28,508 --> 00:46:30,600
contact all of them before 
Sunday. 

760
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,500
Could we still? 
Can I get your permission to 

761
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,400
still meet here? 
He said sure he's so we don't 

762
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,800
work on Sunday anyway. 
Y'all can come here and tell him

763
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:40,800
but because he gave me 
permission. 

764
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,800
To assemble. 
Now, you understand the next 

765
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,800
day? 
I went to work went down to the 

766
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,500
county, had a conversation, you 
know, got their stuff found out 

767
00:46:50,500 --> 00:46:54,800
why they thought what they 
thought went to my attorney that

768
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,100
point close, you know, just 
because someone says it's a way 

769
00:46:57,100 --> 00:47:00,400
doesn't mean it's the way. 
But again I didn't argue with 

770
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,700
the person who gave me the 
thing. 

771
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,900
I said, this is what it meant. 
I said, thank you, I didn't run 

772
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:06,500
them down. 
Just I can't believe you did 

773
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:08,000
that. 
I can't believe you're doing 

774
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,200
this to us. 
Like thank you, appreciate it. 

775
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:14,000
I said hey I'm at a particular 
situation. 

776
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,100
I've sounded you know, 
three-year lease, you know. 

777
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:17,600
And they're telling me I can't 
be here. 

778
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,800
Now, can I send you, you know 
this, so I sent it. 

779
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,100
They said, oh Pastor Earle. 
And then she told me legally, 

780
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:25,400
how I could take a stand until 
the church Sunday that, hey, 

781
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,400
I've called our attorney good 
news. 

782
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,300
You know, based upon what our 
attorney said, this is how it 

783
00:47:30,308 --> 00:47:31,900
is. 
I'll go back to that, you know, 

784
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:34,500
department and will resolve this
Monday. 

785
00:47:34,900 --> 00:47:37,600
So, when I went down there 
again, nice, hey met. 

786
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,600
Well, you know, I called our 
attorney, you know, I realized I

787
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,300
said, but you know, Based upon 
this. 

788
00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:44,800
We meet it and they're like, 
well, we've never interpreted 

789
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,700
that way. 
I said well that's okay because 

790
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:55,200
I'm you know in the business of 
changing people's thinking right

791
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,500
now I love to say they were 
like, thank you Pastor. 

792
00:47:57,500 --> 00:48:01,300
Oh my mind's changed stay. 
They didn't, they didn't want 

793
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:06,600
that fight because typically and
that government system, nobody 

794
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,300
wants to be the one to do it. 
They want to push it up to the 

795
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:14,500
authorities. 
So they're like, well, we've not

796
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,500
but what you could do is do this
here. 

797
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,000
So I'm like well I could do that
fine. 

798
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,200
If that's what you're telling me
to do. 

799
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:27,500
So I went through their steps 
but never not met in the church.

800
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:35,200
Because I knew legally, I can be
here, even though they're not 

801
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:39,800
seeing it that way today. 
Are you hearing me? 

802
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:42,000
And my attorney said no Pastor. 
I can't guarantee you. 

803
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,600
They wouldn't put you in jail. 
He told me that I said. 

804
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,700
Well, that's all right. 
This one's worth fighting. 

805
00:48:52,300 --> 00:48:56,700
This was worth fighting. 
And so I stood went through the 

806
00:48:56,700 --> 00:49:02,400
steps and at the end we never 
left, stay got our name, put on 

807
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:05,500
free, didn't cost us anything. 
Amen. 

808
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:11,700
And at the end of the day, Four 
Commissioners to one gave us the

809
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:15,200
approval. 
But the one who didn't. 

810
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Six months later was thrown into
prison for embezzlement. 

811
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,100
And within two years killed 
himself. 

812
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,000
I'm telling you right now, you 
don't want to come against the 

813
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:34,200
church. 
I didn't do that but the minute 

814
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,600
he said a vote. 
I don't believe that church 

815
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,700
should be there. 
God saw his heart saw his motive

816
00:49:41,100 --> 00:49:45,700
and exposed his sin. 
And it was a sitting county 

817
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:48,600
commissioner. 
In st. 

818
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:54,900
Johns County. 
Six months after he voted no 

819
00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:59,800
against anchor, Faith Church. 
Is that coincidence? 

820
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,100
Would you well, we want this to 
happen? 

821
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,400
No. 
But we had a legal right to be 

822
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,400
there. 
Now, it's just cuz you don't 

823
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:20,700
like the church. 
Okay, wanted his opinion instead

824
00:50:20,700 --> 00:50:24,900
of siding with the spirit 
Ephesians 1:17 will close with 

825
00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:28,700
this Spirit of wisdom, scripture
for the Lord, Our God, Jesus 

826
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:30,400
Christ. 
The father of Glory may give to 

827
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,300
you a spirit of wisdom and 
Revelation in the knowledge of 

828
00:50:34,308 --> 00:50:36,500
him. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

829
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,600
So Paul prayed this for the 
churches that they have a spirit

830
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,900
of wisdom, which means we can 
have the spirit of wisdom, the 

831
00:50:42,908 --> 00:50:46,500
Holy Ghost gives us wisdom. 
Wisdom, how to navigate 

832
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:49,700
situations, relationships, 
trials, tribulations. 

833
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:52,600
Things with our own spouse, 
right? 

834
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,300
Things that are businesses 
things with employee. 

835
00:50:55,300 --> 00:50:58,800
I mean, no matter what's going 
on, if we would just slow down 

836
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,000
enough, get our eyes out of the 
scene, get out of all the chaos 

837
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,500
of the world, get out of 
everything that's going on. 

838
00:51:05,500 --> 00:51:07,800
It's just say no Lord. 
You really know what's going on 

839
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,200
here. 
I need some wisdom. 

840
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,200
And James tells us if a man 
lacks wisdom, let him ask God. 

841
00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:23,600
My wife has had great wisdom 
from God. 

842
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,100
And Steve spoken to me at Toms 
about things. 

843
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:31,000
God have said and it resonates 
with me so quick and I'm like 

844
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,400
that's the Holy Ghost. 
Yes, but sometimes she'll make a

845
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,100
statement and it doesn't 
resonate and I got to go I got 

846
00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:41,200
to hear from God myself. 
It doesn't matter how much she 

847
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,700
wanted to convince me or 
communicate or whatever. 

848
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,700
The matter that we're just 
married, I got to know that. 

849
00:51:46,700 --> 00:51:52,600
I know God is saying that. 
Because I love my wife, and 

850
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,700
she's a God-fearing woman, make 
no mistake about it, but her and

851
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:58,900
I both could not be hearing God 
about something. 

852
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:03,000
But if we stopped with purity of
heart. 

853
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:09,100
Even willing to face discomfort 
and being corrected. 

854
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,800
And personally have to change. 
With that kind of humility. 

855
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:19,600
We always hear the voice of God.
Without fail. 

856
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:23,900
Without fail. 
Without fail. 

857
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:32,300
I know when our marriage that I 
because the Bible tells me love 

858
00:52:32,300 --> 00:52:37,600
your wife as Christ loves the 
church, which means I got to be 

859
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:42,400
first to respond. 
Not wait on her. 

860
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:48,900
I gotta be first because Christ 
was first, which means there's 

861
00:52:48,900 --> 00:52:51,400
conflict. 
Be the first to say I'm sorry. 

862
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,500
Not because you want to but you 
won't be christ-like. 

863
00:52:57,900 --> 00:53:00,900
Are you hearing me? 
But also I got to be first to 

864
00:53:00,908 --> 00:53:05,800
say, I'm not sure. 
That's right, even though it can

865
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:11,100
create conflict. 
Now I loved it. 

866
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:15,300
You know, honestly at this stage
of our mayor's, this is like 

867
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:21,600
easy stuff for us, but when we 
had like baggage is bit more 

868
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,400
challenging But because we were 
willing to take those same steps

869
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:34,000
in our baggage years. 
She's made me a better man of 

870
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,000
God and I know I made her a 
better man woman of God. 

871
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,200
I know it. 
She's made me a better man of 

872
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,600
God because she challenged 
processes with me. 

873
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,400
She knew she heard the voice of 
God about things in my life. 

874
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,400
And I was willing to say, it 
ain't just my wife, trying to 

875
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,600
nag me, she's heard the voice of
God but vice versa. 

876
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:01,400
When she had low self-esteem 
about her life and her abuses. 

877
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,100
And y'all know about the thing, 
she just would not allow that. 

878
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,900
We're not going to let that 
determine who you are. 

879
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,000
You're a mighty, you're a woman 
of God Mass call it, call it. 

880
00:54:15,300 --> 00:54:20,300
And she is. 
She is but then she confronted 

881
00:54:20,300 --> 00:54:22,700
herself. 
Right. 

882
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:34,100
Spirit of wisdom does this? 
Because we're spiritual 

883
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:35,400
organization. 
Wow. 

884
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,600
So thankful to God. 
So thankful to God. 

885
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:43,800
Oh, he's good. 
We don't want to go anywhere 

886
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,900
without Holy Ghost. 
Do not leave home without it, 

887
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:52,400
right? 
Don't wake up without him. 

888
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:57,100
Don't take a breath. 
Without him, right? 

889
00:54:57,500 --> 00:55:00,600
And when you do something 
without him, repent fast. 

890
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:09,200
Repent fast because the only way
you're going to always be in the

891
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:14,100
advantage position. 
Is to be being filled with the 

892
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:19,700
spirit.
