1
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,640
This year our theme is the 
reigning church and you cannot 

2
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,720
be a reigning church without the
Spirit of God because it is only

3
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000
the Spirit of God that causes 
you to reign. 

4
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,040
And so this particular passive 
scripture will probably use 

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,360
often, but I, you know, the Lord
just reminded me of Matthew 15, 

6
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,840
three. 
And so let me say this, we we 

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,640
often said this back in the past
and we may need to come back to 

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,520
this particular occasion where 
Jesus said to religious people, 

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,600
why do you forsake the 
commandment of God for the sake 

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,600
of your tradition? 
And, you know, the more we begin

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,240
to uncover things concerning the
Kingdom, those who love their 

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,600
tradition of Jesus or the 
tradition they've been taught 

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,000
concerning him will challenge 
those who are following the 

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Kingdom of God. 
And so you want to be of the one

15
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,920
that does not hold to 
traditional truths about things.

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,240
But really, what does the Bible 
say? 

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,200
And it's important for us to go 
into the Scripture asking 

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,160
questions. 
We're not questioning God. 

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,800
We're saying, Lord, we want to 
know about you. 

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240
We're seeking you. 
We want to find you. 

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,800
We want to know more about you. 
We want to discover you more. 

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,360
That's what seeking does, is you
discovering who he is. 

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,720
And so in order for you to do 
that, sometimes you'll have to 

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,200
abandon things you were taught 
at a young age or maybe you 

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,720
heard in a particular 
denominator or from one that you

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,920
highly respected as a loved one 
that you by all rights believed 

27
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,720
and know that they love God, but
they are loving God based upon 

28
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,360
what they know about God. 
There are some things I knew 

29
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,040
about God and then later on 
found out, you know what that 

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,759
aspect or what I thought about 
him. 

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,880
That's not reality. 
It's not reality. 

32
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,800
It was a statement made because 
we were ignorant and we didn't 

33
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,200
know better. 
But now that I see it in the 

34
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,040
scripture, I know better. 
And so I changed my thinking. 

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,760
I changed my tradition of God or
my religion of God, and I found 

36
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,680
out who the King is, Amen. 
Who Jesus Christ is, is Lord. 

37
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,840
But as we get closer to the day 
that we would be changed in the 

38
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,640
moment, in the twinkling of an 
eye, because Jesus Christ is not

39
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,760
coming back for the lost. 
When he returns, He's coming 

40
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,080
back for the church. 
And so he's coming back for the 

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,800
church with all without spot or 
wrinkle to be found blameless 

42
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680
and all her glory. 
In fact, he's coming back for 

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720
the church in its maturity. 
Hallelujah. 

44
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,720
He's coming back for the fruit 
of the earth, which really 

45
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,480
represents the church, and so 
he's coming back for the church.

46
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,760
The next greatest move is when 
the church functions as a mature

47
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,880
person or mature man. 
When the church comes together 

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,640
in unity and no one is is is 
competing with one another. 

49
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040
We are just complementing each 
other's gift. 

50
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,360
We're loving each other's gift. 
We're excited about each other's

51
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,240
gift and we are in the fit God 
placed us not where we wanted 

52
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,280
ourselves. 
Amen. 

53
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,720
And man that God's coming back 
for that church. 

54
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,080
But as we get closer to the 
greatest move of God, which is 

55
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:45,000
the church mature in the planet.
We also will have a counterfeit.

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,480
And so first Timothy 41 because 
the devil knows the power of the

57
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,200
church. 
This is why the devil has 

58
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,160
attacked the church ever since 
Jesus ascended and the day of 

59
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Pentecost happened. 
He has attacked the church. 

60
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,520
He has attacked the church. 
He has persecuted the church. 

61
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,240
In fact, he had great religious 
people persecute the church. 

62
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680
One we knew his name was Saul of
Tarsus and man. 

63
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,320
He persecuted the church. 
He didn't go after the Roman 

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,680
government. 
He didn't go after the Roman 

65
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,720
king. 
He did not go after the he went 

66
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,360
after the church. 
Those who confess that Jesus 

67
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,040
Christ was the only way to the 
Father. 

68
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,400
He persecuted it with Scripture.
Now he did not rightly divide 

69
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,920
it. 
He was in error concerning that.

70
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,200
But God corrected his theology. 
Aren't you glad Jesus had 

71
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,360
correct your theology? 
And so in a moment on the road 

72
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
to Damascus, his life has 
changed and he calls Jesus the 

73
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Lord of his life. 
And so the church has been 

74
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,440
attacked relentlessly by the 
enemy because he does not want 

75
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,240
the church to mature. 
The devil has experienced the 

76
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,360
church in the former reign when 
the Spirit of God came. 

77
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,960
And we have evidence of this 
church in Acts chapter 2-3 and 

78
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,640
four where they came together, 
they had a commonality, they had

79
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,880
Commonwealth, they were all in 
one mind, 1 accord. 

80
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200
I mean, they were being added to
daily. 

81
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
And it absolutely scared the 
devil. 

82
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Why? 
Because all of a sudden there 

83
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,320
were many people that were that 
confess Jesus says Lord have 

84
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,800
became a new creature in Christ 
and they were doing the same 

85
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,520
works that Jesus did and he knew
man, if this takes off globally,

86
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,560
I'm finished. 
Jesus is no longer in the earth.

87
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,200
He has whipped and stripped the 
devil of his power. 

88
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Then he left that authority to 
the church and the devil is 

89
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,600
afraid. 
This is why he will attack you 

90
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,160
to keep you out of it, to keep 
you from connecting with it, to 

91
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,000
get you from jumping to one 
place to another place. 

92
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,040
You know, to say it's OK for you
to just listen online or do come

93
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,360
and go as you please. 
It's all an attack to get us 

94
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,800
away from unity and assembly so 
that we can mature together and 

95
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800
accomplish the plan and purpose 
of God before he returns. 

96
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,000
The devil's afraid. 
So anytime you hear of words 

97
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,040
and, and things of people trying
to pull you and take you and 

98
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,360
snatch you and keep you from 
showing up, you just need to 

99
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320
know that is not the voice of 
God. 

100
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,520
That's the voice of the devil, 
Amen. 

101
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,480
That's the voice of the devil. 
And so First Timothy 41 says but

102
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,200
it, but the Spirit says now this
is capital S because this is the

103
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Holy Spirit. 
The Holy Spirit explicitly says,

104
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,200
which means he is saying this 
will occur and nothing can stop 

105
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200
it. 
He explicitly says that in the 

106
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,840
latter times, that's when the 
church is to mature. 

107
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,960
When the latter rain comes, some
will fall away from the faith. 

108
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440
Why paying attention to 
deceitful spirits? 

109
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,480
One translation says seducing 
spirits and doctrines of demons.

110
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,960
Because there are in the in the 
realm of the spirit, in the 

111
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,760
realm of the spirit of darkness.
And This is why our battles not 

112
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,200
against flesh and blood. 
The minute the devil can get you

113
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:29,760
to attack an individual, then he
has seduced you that it's your 

114
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,760
job now to take someone down. 
Our battles not against flesh 

115
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,880
and blood. 
It's principalities and powers. 

116
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,720
There's a spirit behind that and
so he will. 

117
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:49,080
There are spirits involved with 
people who want to not rightly 

118
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,480
divide the word of truth, and he
will navigate them to develop 

119
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,840
doctrines of demons, and 
doctrines of demons are easily 

120
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,520
able to destroy. 
Just to let you know they're not

121
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520
difficult. 
Do you understand? 

122
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,880
You should never take this 
decision well. 

123
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,440
How will I ever know what truth 
is? 

124
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Truth is not a what, it's a He. 
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of

125
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,600
truth, and God is not 
intimidated with false doctrine 

126
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,320
because He's giving you the 
spirit of truth. 

127
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,240
And if you honestly love God and
yield to the Spirit, then he'll 

128
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,280
always navigate you into all 
truth. 

129
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,320
He will always expose doctrines 
of devils, period. 

130
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,840
It's not complicated at all. 
OK, not complicated, but there 

131
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,440
are seducing spirits, and 
seducing spirits happen because 

132
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,400
it preys on the flesh of man or 
man's carnality, and they will 

133
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,480
seduce you because you already 
are yielding to that side 

134
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,880
through what Paul called selfish
ambition. 

135
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,240
Those who have selfish ambition 
can be seduced, they can be 

136
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,080
wooed, and they seduce you that 
you're going to do something 

137
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,040
amazing for God only to take you
down a road of destruction and 

138
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,320
despair. 
So the Spirit says these things 

139
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,200
will happen, people will fall 
away. 

140
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,080
And we have an assignment in in 
the fivefold ministry to help 

141
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,920
you navigate this. 
So we're going to learn how to 

142
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,760
walk today. 
Say learn how to walk because 

143
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,520
you have to learn how to walk. 
I'm going to say it this way. 

144
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,840
Just because you're born doesn't
mean you walk immediately. 

145
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,000
But the capacity to walk is 
there if you are trained. 

146
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,360
If you're trained. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

147
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240
Thaddeus, come here. 
That is our head usher. 

148
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Thaddeus, Can you can you get 
right here? 

149
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,240
No. 
Yeah. 

150
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,280
I need you to get on my side 
like you're a child. 

151
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,640
I'm going to carry you. 
Ready. 

152
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880
All right, Come on. 
Give me. 

153
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440
Give me this. 
OK. 

154
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Now. 
Thaddeus. 

155
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:22,680
Thaddeus. 
If all I did was carry Thaddeus 

156
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:29,640
around his whole life, could you
see me going into the store 

157
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,280
right now? 
We're going into Walmart. 

158
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,200
You all right? 
Yeah. 

159
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,480
This is my this is my son. 
I I adopted him. 

160
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,640
Why don't you let him walk? 
Nah, man. 

161
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,680
I mean, I love him too much to 
let him down. 

162
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,680
I want to keep him right here by
my side. 

163
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Right. 
I'm doing good, ain't I? 

164
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,520
You're shocked right now. 
You're shocked. 

165
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Amen. 
Amen. 

166
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Now, oh, I feel really light 
right now. 

167
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:14,560
I believe I could fly. 
But again, all of you parents 

168
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:21,080
who had a child, you know that 
at some point you're here to 

169
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,640
help them walk. 
My wife started our kids out 

170
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,120
really early and she would do it
with a little exercise where she

171
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,720
would let them grab her fingers.
You know, she they grip her 

172
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,680
little fingers and then she pull
them up and they would end up 

173
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:40,400
doing squats, baby squats. 
She's working those legs, 

174
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,840
working them out. 
Why? 

175
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520
So they get strong to develop 
balance. 

176
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,960
Because ultimately, I'm not 
carrying you the rest of my 

177
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,160
life. 
But yeah, we have some parents 

178
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400
that want to keep their children
on their hip, and the reason why

179
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:04,040
they're developing slower is 
because we are afraid they'll 

180
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,400
fall. 
But the goal is not about 

181
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,520
falling, it's about learning how
to walk. 

182
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Falling sometimes happens when 
you learn how to walk, but 

183
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,920
eventually you get stable and 
strong enough to walk. 

184
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,160
And God wants us to walk. 
Amen. 

185
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,520
First Corinthians chapter 3 
verses one through 3 says it 

186
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,080
this way. 
It says, and I, brethren, could 

187
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,560
not speak to you as spiritual 
men, but as men of the flesh, as

188
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:39,560
to infants in Christ. 
So if you're an infant, you're 

189
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:46,560
not walking, you're not walking,
you're being carried. 

190
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Let's go on. 
He said. 

191
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,880
I gave you milk to drink, not 
solid food, for you were not yet

192
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,040
able to receive it. 
Indeed, even now you're not 

193
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480
able. 
Now why are they not able? 

194
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,320
He says. 
For are you still fleshly? 

195
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,680
For since there is here, it is 
jealousy and strife among you. 

196
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Are you not fleshly? 
And are you not walking like 

197
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,440
mere men? 
So the walk therein is not a 

198
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:21,640
walk of the Spirit, but a walk 
of the flesh, a walk of the 

199
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,560
natural. 
Now if I went on and put this in

200
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,800
context, this will blow your 
mind. 

201
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,320
The flesh therein is over an 
argument of who they like best 

202
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:44,720
in the church. 
He identified jealousy and 

203
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,680
strife because someone was 
saying, well, minister so and so

204
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:56,600
and minister such and such. 
Well, the minister, that's what 

205
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,760
that helps us. 
And dinner. 

206
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,640
They're better than your 
minister. 

207
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Apollos is better than Paul. 
Paul's way better than Apollos. 

208
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,120
Oh, I love to hear Apollos 
minister. 

209
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,680
He's so eloquent. 
Paul, he man, he doesn't speak 

210
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:15,800
real good now Paul, man, he this
guy, he's amazing. 

211
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Apollos had, he doesn't even 
understand the Kingdom like Paul

212
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400
does. 
I mean, there's all kinds. 

213
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,800
And they're bantering and having
jealousy over who they're 

214
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:34,160
listening to. 
Jealousy and strife, not over a 

215
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:42,880
sinful thing. 
Paul identifies their infancy. 

216
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,880
Well, I just can't listen to 
them. 

217
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,280
I don't want to listen to them. 
I don't want to hear them such 

218
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,920
and such. 
Now, here's the point. 

219
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,640
There are so many voices out 
there today is that the church 

220
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,560
has gotten into that. 
If we don't watch out. 

221
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,800
I mean, you need to hear what 
you need to hear and not be 

222
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
arguing with somebody else about
what they're hearing. 

223
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,440
False doctrine is a whole nother
ball game. 

224
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,160
But we're not talking about 
false doctrine because Apollos 

225
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,400
and Paul were rightly divine, 
the word of truth. 

226
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,960
The only thing we know different
about Apollos and Paul is that 

227
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Apollos did not fully understand
the Kingdom like Paul did. 

228
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Because later on Priscilla and 
Aquila in the book of Acts, they

229
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,600
brought Apollos to the side and 
showed him a more clear way 

230
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,440
because he was preaching the 
baptism of repentance. 

231
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,280
And so his insight of the things
of God grew, of which Paul 

232
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880
himself acknowledged the 
ministry of Apollo. 

233
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,360
So these are not 2 ministers 
that we're dealing with false 

234
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,400
doctrine. 
So when you develop favors 

235
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,880
favorites in the body of Christ 
of those who actually trained 

236
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:11,360
the word correctly, your carnal 
that's immaturity. 

237
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,400
Same in anyway. 
All right, you don't I I we say 

238
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,680
these things so that you don't 
fall prey to this Amen. 

239
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,000
We don't fall prey to this 
because a lot of times we will 

240
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,680
put on a spiritual air as if we 
are following God. 

241
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Well, you know, I just feel like
the Lord wanted me to. 

242
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,760
Well, we need to talk about 
that. 

243
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,920
And that's why we're ministering
today on being led by the 

244
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,200
spirit, because in the last days
he tells us that there will be 

245
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:49,720
these other spirits that are 
speaking so much so that it's it

246
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,080
will cause people to fall away. 
They'll fall away. 

247
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,680
We'll say Pastor Earl, who are 
falling, who's falling away. 

248
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,640
I'm not here to tell you that. 
I'm not here to name names. 

249
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,359
I'm not here to do that. 
What I'm saying is some will and

250
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,040
we'll see evidence of what will 
cause people, and we'll see 

251
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,240
evidence in a general sense of 
how we know whether a person is 

252
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,240
walking by the Spirit or walking
according to the flesh, period. 

253
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,560
And then you based upon your 
interactions and conversation 

254
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,440
with people is easy to identify 
them and it teaches you how to 

255
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,640
pray, how do you navigate your 
life and how you make sure your 

256
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,600
ear continues to give heed to 
the word of God in the spirit of

257
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,720
God that Pastor Marcy's 
ministering on on Wednesday 

258
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,360
night. 
Amen. 

259
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:46,960
So William McDowell, pastor down
in here in where's he at 

260
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,920
Orlando. 
I was looking for a clip today 

261
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,160
because Pastor Marcy ministered 
to our worship team before 

262
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,880
service and he had put out a 
clip just recently and I'm like,

263
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,400
wow, that is so good. 
He said, and I'm not quoting 

264
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,880
him, but I'm giving you the 
gist. 

265
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,080
He said that when he was dealing
with worship leaders, he said 

266
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:14,760
today we are at the greatest 
risk of Luciferian worship 

267
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:20,720
because so many people want to 
be the next worship person. 

268
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
They're all out on YouTube 
because now with YouTube, you 

269
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,320
can write your song, get it and 
get popular, he said. 

270
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,280
We are at the greatest risk 
today than ever before of, of, 

271
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,880
of having the Luciferian spirit 
in our services. 

272
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,880
And it's not because we're 
inviting Satan in, but the ones 

273
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:50,120
that are desiring to be made 
known in the realm of worship. 

274
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,880
And he's speaking from his 
platform. 

275
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,920
He is a pastor, but he first was
a worship minister. 

276
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,560
I went to a particular 
conference that he held once, 

277
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,320
and he spoke that when he went 
ministered at churches, he had 

278
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,960
to stop singing. 
And the reason he stopped is 

279
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,080
because when he would minister, 
he would get on the piano and he

280
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,640
would begin to come get what he 
had in the spirit. 

281
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Well, the crowd would be upset 
because they wouldn't play the 

282
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240
song that they've listened to on
the album. 

283
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,000
And they wanted him to just play
that song. 

284
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,760
They wanted him to perform it, 
but God didn't want him to go in

285
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,120
that direction. 
And he said I would leave 

286
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:40,520
meetings and people would be mad
at me, upset at me after 

287
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,120
service. 
Tell me why didn't I? 

288
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,480
And they didn't. 
They came for me to do a 

289
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,840
concert. 
Now notice when they those 

290
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,400
individual, when they come to 
that, they'll throw their hands 

291
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,920
up and they'll sing like they're
in the presence of God. 

292
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,840
But yet the minute he didn't do 
it, what happened? 

293
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,280
Well, it lets us know that this 
line between the spirits that 

294
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,520
aren't of God and the Holy 
Spirit, there's a line there 

295
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,840
that unless you're doing what's 
necessary, you're not going to 

296
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,240
know which line you're on. 
Because just being born of God 

297
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,240
doesn't make you proficient at 
being led by the Spirit. 

298
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,160
Being born of God gives you 
absolute access immediately the 

299
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,360
minute you make Jesus Christ the
Lord of your life to to be able 

300
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,120
to hear the voice of God. 
Period. 

301
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,400
But to say that you're well 
versed in following only the 

302
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,120
Holy Spirit just because you're 
born again, the scripture does 

303
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:54,840
not conclude that you must train
yourself to be proficient at 

304
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,320
only hearing the Holy Spirit. 
If you do not train yourself, 

305
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:08,080
you will fail. 
You will fail and you will use 

306
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:15,640
scripture and ministers as your 
reason of why you think you've 

307
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,040
heard the Spirit right. 
All right, this is serious 

308
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,360
business as we get into these 
lat as we are in these last of 

309
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,040
the last days. 
First Peter 22 says this he says

310
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:32,000
like newborn babes long for the 
pure milk of the word so that we

311
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,400
so that by it you may grow in 
respects to salvation. 

312
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,600
So God expects us to grow up 
spiritually in your spirit. 

313
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,480
When you're born again, you're 
everything that you're ever 

314
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,560
going to be. 
You don't. 

315
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,080
It's in you in the spirit. 
But that does have to be 

316
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,440
developed. 
Just like myself. 

317
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,200
When I was born, I was born 7 
lbs eleven oz. 

318
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,560
I was, I think, 21 inches long. 
But everything in me at birth is

319
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,480
what I am today physically. 
The DNA was going to make me the

320
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,200
hife I am, my bone structure the
way it is, my eye color the way 

321
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,720
it is, my hair color the way it 
is, you know, my brain, all 

322
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040
those things. 
It was already in me at birth, 

323
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,360
but it did not manifest till I 
matured. 

324
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,560
The muscles that I have today 
were in me from birth. 

325
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,560
But they are what they are 
because of training, not because

326
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,480
they just automatically 
happened. 

327
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,320
Muscles don't develop without 
training, so people's physical 

328
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,720
physique comes by training, not 
just because it's in your DNA. 

329
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,400
You still have to train. 
Just like our mind, we have the 

330
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,520
capacity in our mind, but if we 
do not train our mind, if we do 

331
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,240
not study, if we do not subject 
ourselves to certain academic 

332
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,240
things, we do not develop that. 
That's why we go to school, 

333
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,040
That's why we physically 
exercise. 

334
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,760
That's why what we eat is really
important because it affects our

335
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,400
body. 
Are you hearing me? 

336
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640
But yet if we do the things 
right and do exercise, then we 

337
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,560
have the best form of us. 
And what we couldn't do was save

338
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,400
ourselves. 
But Christ did that. 

339
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,080
Amen. 
So once we're born again or a 

340
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,240
babe in Christ infant, we are to
grow up. 

341
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,000
And you grow UPS. 
First, buy milk, meaning things 

342
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,840
in the scripture. 
Not solid food, but milk. 

343
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Things that allow you to digest 
who you are in Christ and give 

344
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,160
you the opportunity to grow in 
who you are in the Lord and 

345
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,040
understanding of what He's 
saying. 

346
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Hebrews chapter 5, verses 11 
through 14. 

347
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,840
I'm sure my wife will speak on 
this on Wednesday night. 

348
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,040
And although I kind of roamed 
around on Wednesday to being a 

349
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,520
few other of our services. 
Did you mention this scripture 

350
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,640
at all? 
No, OK, so she'll probably go 

351
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,440
here. 
But concerning him, let's read 

352
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,280
this. 
Concerning Him we have much to 

353
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:06,440
say and it's hard to explain why
since you have become dull of 

354
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,880
hearing verse 12. 
For though by this time you 

355
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,160
ought to be teachers, you have 
need again for someone to teach 

356
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,520
you the elementary principles of
the oracles of God and have come

357
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,320
to need milk and what not solid 
food. 

358
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,720
Now this is a person who wants 
ate solid food. 

359
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,920
But something has happened that 
has caused them now to go back 

360
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:47,120
to milk, which means who 
formerly were was eating solid 

361
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:54,720
food now no longer has the 
capacity to eat solid food. 

362
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,160
They're back to milk. 
These are dangerous people 

363
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,160
because this is the quickest 
form to Ferris to be in a 

364
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,080
Pharisee right here when this 
happens, he said. 

365
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,680
For everyone who partakes only a
milk is not accustomed to the 

366
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:16,760
word of righteousness for he is 
an he's an infant, but solid 

367
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,320
food is for who? 
Now listen, everyone in this 

368
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,720
room wants to be mature. 
Everyone in this room wants to 

369
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,760
be mature. 
I mean, if I went down and said 

370
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,720
you do you believe you're mature
in Christ? 

371
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,120
I'm going to tell you right now,
probably 90% of you are going to

372
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:32,760
say yes. 
There's probably 10% that would 

373
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,480
say, you know what? 
I realize I'm not. 

374
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,800
And it would be even less for 
those who have been here and 

375
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,600
trained and gone through 318 and
Kingdom Institute and 

376
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,760
discipleship classes and all 
kinds of stuff for them to say, 

377
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,640
you know what? 
I'm an infant. 

378
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:55,880
Again, it'd be hard for them to 
admit that, but it happens. 

379
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,720
I said it happens, but solid 
food is for the mature who, 

380
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,840
because of what practice or 
training, have had their senses 

381
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,840
trained to discern good and 
evil. 

382
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,760
This is really important because
the devil always comes sounding 

383
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:25,320
like it's good. 
He comes as an Angel of so evil 

384
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:33,920
is always masked in good. 
I mean, the devil does not come 

385
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,880
at you and say, I want you to 
commit adultery on your spouse. 

386
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,720
I mean, most believers like, 
well, that we're not supposed to

387
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,320
do that. 
I want you to go rob this bank 

388
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,160
right now. 
I mean, most of us will be like,

389
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,360
no, I mean, it's always 
different. 

390
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:57,320
He masks it in light. 
Are you hearing me? 

391
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,880
Mature people are able to 
discern this. 

392
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:06,720
So the minute we see that 
there's an infant, you have to 

393
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,200
say you have to develop yourself
where you're like, I understand 

394
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,080
what I'm an infant in. 
Allow me to become mature 

395
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,000
because you can have areas of 
maturity in the word and infancy

396
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,720
in others. 
I'll give you a case in point 

397
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,080
from Brother Hagen. 
He had this particular testimony

398
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,280
because he was sick. 
Kenneth E Hagin was sick and he 

399
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,600
was supposed to die, but at 16 
he was healed miraculously by 

400
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,800
the Lord. 
So he knew it was God's will to 

401
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,400
heal and he never wavered from 
healing. 

402
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,080
He would stand firm anytime a 
symptom came on his body, he 

403
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,560
would stay with the Word. 
He would confess that word and 

404
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,520
healing would always manifest in
his life. 

405
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,440
And, and when it came to the 
subject of healing, he was very 

406
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,400
mature. 
He would not let a thought come 

407
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,760
to him and tell him he was going
to die. 

408
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,600
He wasn't going to make it. 
He would never entertain those. 

409
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,880
He would always combat it with 
the word. 

410
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:04,080
He was mature in his response. 
But when it came to prosperity, 

411
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,600
the provision of God for his 
ministry, he was not. 

412
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,760
And the Lord had to speak to him
and he said, Son, the faith that

413
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,360
you have for healing is the same
faith. 

414
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:19,720
You need to be able to prosper 
with your ministry in what God's

415
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,280
called you to do. 
Now, faith's the important word 

416
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,360
here. 
Faith is not a concept. 

417
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Faith comes by hearing and 
hearing from the Word of God and

418
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,640
being firmly persuaded that that
word will come to pass. 

419
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,080
So what he's saying is you need 
to get in the Word. 

420
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,080
You need to let the Word train 
you. 

421
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,120
You need to subject yourself to 
the Word. 

422
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,840
You need to always keep the Word
in front of you because the 

423
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Spirit of God will reveal that 
word. 

424
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,320
That way when you get in 
situations that seem like it's 

425
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,000
not that way, you'll call those 
things that be not as though 

426
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,880
they were, and you'll change 
those situations financially. 

427
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,720
And then he developed himself 
where he became mature in the 

428
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,120
realm of giving and receiving. 
So he admittedly say, when it 

429
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,680
came to healing, I had it, but 
when it came to provision, did 

430
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,840
not have it at all. 
We must be honest with ourselves

431
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,800
because you know what? 
The Holy Ghost is honest with 

432
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,440
you, and he'll let you know you 
don't have this. 

433
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Quit telling yourself you're 
believing me. 

434
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,920
You're not persuaded He's honest
with you. 

435
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,040
He's not going to leave you in 
delusion. 

436
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,200
James tells us that a hearer of 
the Word who does not do the 

437
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Word deceives themselves. 
The Holy Spirit will let you 

438
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,960
know you're not in the position 
you think you're in. 

439
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,760
I remember when it came to the 
mall, everybody, we could get 

440
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,880
them all, all this. 
We've raised the money to be 

441
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:55,280
able to get in contract. 
But I knew in me, I, I'm not 

442
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:01,240
like 100% here. 
And before I turn over $250,000,

443
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520
I need to get there. 
I mean, I could say in front of 

444
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,600
you, I've got it, I've got it. 
But if I knew I didn't have it, 

445
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,000
then I know I don't have it and 
I'm not going to do that. 

446
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,880
So it was a day that I went to 
go set up my camper because my 

447
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,280
wife and I were going to camp 
and I wanted to go pray because 

448
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680
this decision was there. 
The weight of that decision was 

449
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480
there, and I needed to know I 
had heard from God. 

450
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,040
And that's where the Lord, you 
know, in a particular place on 

451
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,960
the beach, bunch of houses that 
cost millions of dollars to 

452
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,600
build. 
He said, Son, do you see that 

453
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,160
house? 
I said yes Lord, because I was 

454
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,760
praying in the Spirit about this
situation, about the mall. 

455
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,480
He said, son, do you see that 
house? 

456
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,480
Yes, Lord. 
He said, how much you think that

457
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,080
house costs? 
I said millions. 

458
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,360
He said, you notice anything 
else about it? 

459
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,680
And I said, yeah, it looks like 
it's a snowbirds home, meaning 

460
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,440
they don't live there full time.
This is a second home. 

461
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,760
He said if man can have a second
home that costs millions of 

462
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,520
dollars, don't you believe I can
get you a mall? 

463
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Well, the minute He said that to
me, I knew then, because I knew 

464
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,760
the Scriptures, that He shall 
supply all my knees according to

465
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760
riches and glory. 
I knew the Scriptures that He 

466
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,840
wanted me to prosper, that He 
wanted a place for His church to

467
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,640
assemble and land for His 
people. 

468
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,080
I knew this. 
He wanted us to possess land. 

469
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,040
I knew this. 
But that word solidified my firm

470
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,160
persuasion. 
And then I never came off Never.

471
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,920
I would not relinquish. 
I would ask him, are we still on

472
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,440
track? 
Is there something different 

473
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,240
we're doing here that I'm 
unaware of? 

474
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,360
But because the last thing I 
heard is we supposed to do this.

475
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,440
And you know what? 
Lo and behold, it came to pass. 

476
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:44,280
But it comes to pass because we 
believe God at His Word so 

477
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,440
mature people can discern good 
and evil. 

478
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Just because you've eaten solid 
food at one time doesn't mean 

479
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,360
you'll always eat solid food 
unless you maintain training to 

480
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:03,960
eat it. 
Maintain training to eat it. 

481
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Which tells me there can be a 
time you were very proficient at

482
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,960
following the Holy Spirit and 
then later on not. 

483
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Amen. 
Why will a person that was 

484
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,440
eating solid food, how can they 
fall back into infancy? 

485
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,760
The answer is found in the 11th 
verse. 

486
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,400
He said concerning him. 
I have much to say, but it's 

487
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,720
hard to explain. 
And this is concerning Jesus. 

488
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,240
I can't talk much more about 
Him, I can't explain more about 

489
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Him. 
I can't give you more revelation

490
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,040
or illumination about Him and 
His Kingdom. 

491
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Because why you become dull of 
hearing? 

492
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,880
It? 
Wasn't that the Word couldn't be

493
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,640
priest. 
Is that when it's priest, you do

494
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,320
not want to hear it? 
So Dole has some words 

495
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,440
associated with it. 
First word is slow. 

496
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,520
That means having qualities that
hinder rapid progression and 

497
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,000
action. 
I know there's time to 

498
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,200
administer the word and and I 
know situations that are going 

499
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,920
on in people's lives because I'm
the pastor I oversee. 

500
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,120
God lets me be aware either by 
the Spirit or through personal 

501
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,400
contact and having conversations
with individuals. 

502
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,680
And I'm realize this word is the
word they just need to act on, 

503
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,080
yet they're not acting on it. 
Why 'cause they become dull and 

504
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,000
they're hearing they're slow. 
What could be a rapid turn 

505
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,240
around in their situation? 
It's not. 

506
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,960
And it's not because the power 
of the word isn't there to do 

507
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,560
it. 
It's because they're choosing to

508
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,520
spit out the solid. 
And now they've become an infant

509
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,880
and they'll start debating the 
Word of God and what the Spirit 

510
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,640
is saying. 
And the other spirits will begin

511
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:52,600
to give you alternative thought 
processes because they are not 

512
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,480
rapid action. 
The thing about David is David 

513
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,360
was quick to repent. 
We need to be quick to repent. 

514
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,560
What does the word say then? 
Rapidly. 

515
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,840
I'm going to do not be slow to 
change our thinking to the word.

516
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239
Another word associated with 
dole is sluggish. 

517
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,520
It means slow to respond. 
Don't be slow to respond when 

518
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,840
the Holy Spirit on the inside of
you says, hey, let's get this 

519
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,480
together, let's fix this. 
Cause anything He's telling you 

520
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,639
to adjust, guess what? 
He's empowering you. 

521
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,760
And yet we will debate with the 
Holy Spirit and tell him why we 

522
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600
can't. 
Almost like, why are you even 

523
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,560
asking me to do that? 
Because don't you know about all

524
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,840
this other stuff I've heard? 
Well, those voices you're not 

525
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,360
supposed to be listening to 
anyway. 

526
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:49,760
Another word in here is 
indolent. 

527
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:53,800
It means adverse to activity, 
effort, or movement. 

528
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,080
It means habitually lazy. 
So they're dull of hearing me, 

529
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:04,240
which means they are lazy. 
And they know to do that word 

530
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:07,000
requires effort out of them. 
But they're not willing to do 

531
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,120
the effort. 
Not willing to do it. 

532
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,520
I've been in places where you're
telling somebody what to do and 

533
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,080
they don't want to do it. 
They know the effort. 

534
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,160
I remember one particular case 
of someone that used to be at 

535
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:35,400
church decades ago, OK, that has
some physical challenges and God

536
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:41,280
healed them of a disease that 
typically takes people out and 

537
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,040
they began to, you know, 
continue to move, but yet there 

538
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:51,680
were hidden issues from their 
childhood and it would manifest 

539
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,520
through symptoms again. 
And so, you know, got a call 

540
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,480
from the spouse that things are 
going on with the this 

541
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,440
particular loved 1. 
And so we brought the staff 

542
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,800
there was we took the staff and,
and, and stayed in the house for

543
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,600
24 hours, for 30 days straight 
in prayer. 

544
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,400
And you know, when you see God, 
you'll find some things. 

545
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,000
Pastor Angie got the word from 
the Lord of what the problem 

546
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,360
was, went to the individual, 
said something and they're like,

547
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,240
you're right. 
You're going to have to forgive 

548
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,840
them. 
I mean, you cannot walk in 

549
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,480
unforgiveness. 
You cannot. 

550
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,840
You can go on with your show of 
worship and throwing your hands 

551
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,840
up and all that theatrics, but 
God knows whether you have 

552
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,800
issues in your heart with 
somebody. 

553
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,480
So, you know, it seemed as we 
were moving in the right 

554
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,760
direction, the one they had an 
issue with, they came over to 

555
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,480
the house, they began to talk 
with them, deal with that 

556
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,680
situation and, and verbally and 
ask for forgiveness. 

557
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,880
And that's, and we look like 
we're moving in the right 

558
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,280
direction. 
And I remember Pastor Angie 

559
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,160
said, now listen, God's going to
give you a new heart. 

560
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,680
You have to allow God to 
completely heal what was broken 

561
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920
in you because of this 
situation. 

562
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,760
And the individual said these 
words, said these words to her. 

563
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,320
She can test. 
I stand up so you can testify 

564
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160
with me. 
Said these words to her. 

565
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:36,080
I don't think I can. 
It hurts too bad. 

566
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,680
I it's too hard. 
I would rather die than deal 

567
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,600
with it. 
The next day would not let the 

568
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,320
staff in. 
Could not show up at the house. 

569
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,560
2 weeks later was in the grave. 
Now was that God's will? 

570
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,240
But it was someone who decided 
they would be dull of hearing 

571
00:38:03,490 --> 00:38:06,410
because they did not want to 
deal with their issue. 

572
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:11,130
That God was openly ready to 
heal and treat. 

573
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:14,210
That person would have been free
like it never even happened. 

574
00:38:14,970 --> 00:38:16,850
Because this is the restoration 
of God. 

575
00:38:16,850 --> 00:38:20,530
He put you in a place as if it 
never happened. 

576
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:27,480
Come on, say Amen. 
He puts you in a place as if it 

577
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:34,360
never happens. 
So we have to be honest that we 

578
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:41,720
want to mature because we need 
to be proficient at being led by

579
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:45,200
the Spirit of God. 
God expects us to be LED. 

580
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,120
This is why He gives you the 
fivefold ministry, which is 

581
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,840
Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 
through 16 again. 

582
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,240
And He gave some as apostles, 
some as prophets, some as 

583
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:55,760
advantages, some as passion and 
teachers. 

584
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,680
That's why the devil attacks you
from being in the church and 

585
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,520
having the fivefold ministry be 
a part of your life on a face to

586
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,160
face basis. 
Online basis is not it. 

587
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,120
It is a vitamin. 
It is supplement. 

588
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,120
I'm not telling you you cannot 
learn things. 

589
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,520
There are some reputable 
ministers I like and I've 

590
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,480
listened to stuff that they've 
posted online, no problem. 

591
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,560
But they are not the ones that 
are equipping me. 

592
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,760
They are not equipping me 
because I do not have face to 

593
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,120
face interaction and 
relationship with them for the 

594
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,240
equipment of the Saints. 
This is why you have them for 

595
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,840
the work of that's the training.
This is what takes you from 

596
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,960
infancy to maturity. 
How do we know this? 

597
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,640
Let's go on and continue to read
to the building up of the body 

598
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,440
of Christ verse 13. 
Wow until we all attain to the 

599
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,480
unity of the faith of the 
knowledge of the Son of God. 

600
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,840
Here it is to a what? 
To a what, Which tells me this 

601
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:03,080
If you are not actively 
connected to a local body 

602
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:09,200
serving that vision. 
You will not arrive to maturity 

603
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,240
now. 
You can put on a tradition all 

604
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:17,440
you want to and say, oh I can, 
you cannot. 

605
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,240
You're already being seduced to 
believe you can. 

606
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,680
You cannot, you cannot. 
God knew how this worked. 

607
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,160
That's right. 
These are his words, not mine, 

608
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,960
to the measure of the statue 
which belongs to the fullness of

609
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,400
Christ. 
When you do this, look at verse 

610
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,560
14. 
As a result you are no longer to

611
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,960
be children, tossed here and 
thereby waves and carried about 

612
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,520
by every wind of doctrine, by 
the trickery of men, by the 

613
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,160
craftiness and deceitful 
scheming, but speaking the truth

614
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,640
and love. 
We are to grow up in all aspects

615
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,480
into Him who was the head, even 
Christ verse 16, from whom the 

616
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,520
whole body being fitted and held
together, fitted and held 

617
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,000
together, not separated not I've
arrived and I'm going on my own 

618
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,760
because I'm too mature for them.
All right. 

619
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,960
By what every joint supplies 
according to the proper working 

620
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,920
of each individual part causes 
the growth of the body and the 

621
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,960
building up of the self and 
love. 

622
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,880
You know how many believers are 
shipwrecked and moved to infancy

623
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,360
because they take this religious
traditional thought? 

624
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,760
Well, you know, it's the capital
C church. 

625
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,360
You know the church is global. 
It's the big church and I, I, I 

626
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,800
serve the big church. 
You don't serve any church. 

627
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,680
If you're not in a local church,
you have no impact on the global

628
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:42,040
one. 
Now I'm been in the military and

629
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,920
the army is the big deal, but 
I'm not serving the big army 

630
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:55,000
unless I serve my local unit. 
If I don't serve my local unit, 

631
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,400
show up, do the training, do 
what's necessary, when they call

632
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,000
the whole army up, I'll be no 
good for it. 

633
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:07,040
You don't bounce from one unit 
to the next unit to the next 

634
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,120
unit to the next unit at your 
discretion. 

635
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,240
Now you can get transferred to 
another one so that things can 

636
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:17,760
happen. 
I understand that. 

637
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,280
But you understand people in the
military don't say, you know 

638
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,880
what? 
I've been in the Army Now, you 

639
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,680
know, I've done this Army for 
about 6 weeks. 

640
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,160
I'm gonna jump over to the Air 
Force, you know, because we're 

641
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,960
all the armed forces. 
It doesn't work like that. 

642
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,400
Yeah, we at like, because we can
just jump and jump in any church

643
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,840
we want to do whatever we want 
to whenever we want to. 

644
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,560
You know what that is? 
A spirit of independence. 

645
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,880
Come on, That is not in God's 
Kingdom. 

646
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,360
It may be in the US, but it's 
not in the Kingdom of God. 

647
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,320
If he's really Lord, you're 
like, where are you assigning 

648
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,560
me? 
Where's my duty station? 

649
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,600
Where am I supposed to learn and
grow? 

650
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,920
And I will not let another voice
Take Me Out of it. 

651
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,720
And for anyone to pull out and 
then never get planted into the 

652
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:12,560
next, that's problematic. 
Think of that thought. 

653
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,160
Your heavenly Father is going to
pull you out of the very thing 

654
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:22,480
that helps you mature and then 
lets you wander for a season. 

655
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,880
And what do they say? 
Well, yeah, but I love the Lord.

656
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,040
We, we do our own Bible reading 
at the home. 

657
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,080
And well, I'm glad you do, but 
you're not going to mature. 

658
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,120
What you've done is you're 
digressing. 

659
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,960
You're losing solid food 
capacity because you've grown 

660
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,720
dull of hearing, because you do 
not want the fivefold ministry 

661
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:44,320
in your life, because if God's 
really leading you by the 

662
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,520
Spirit, why is He not taking you
from one right into the next? 

663
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,840
Hallelujah. 
OK, let's go on. 

664
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,040
So in Romans chapter 8, starting
in verse 5, praise the Lord, 

665
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:05,840
we'll move with some urgency. 
Now for those who are according 

666
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,720
to the flesh set their minds on 
the things of the flesh, but 

667
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:11,120
those who are according to the 
Spirit, the things of the 

668
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,960
Spirit. 
So whether you are of the flesh 

669
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,400
of the Spirit is not the Holy 
Spirit determines that, and it's

670
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,200
not even the Father that 
determines that. 

671
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:27,560
You determine this, you 
determine this, He said. 

672
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,760
For the mind set on the flesh is
death. 

673
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,800
The seducing spirit will tell 
you you can live according to 

674
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,320
the flesh and not die. 
It's the same thing, he said in 

675
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,000
the garden. 
You're not going to die. 

676
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,360
You know you're not going to die
if you give to your flesh. 

677
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,880
It's OK every once in a while to
give to your flesh. 

678
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:58,390
It doesn't really matter for the
mindset. 

679
00:44:58,790 --> 00:45:01,150
Now, you can make a mistake, 
that's one thing. 

680
00:45:01,230 --> 00:45:06,040
But a mindset is a person who 
practices, and you're always 

681
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,920
looking for the opportunity to 
fulfill the flesh. 

682
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,040
For the mindset on the flesh is 
death, but the mindset on the 

683
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,080
Spirit is life and peace. 
Because the mindset on the flesh

684
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,880
is hostile towards God, for it 
does not subject itself to the 

685
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,040
law of God, for it is not even 
able to do so. 

686
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,080
And those who are in the flesh 
cannot please God. 

687
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,200
Why can you not please God? 
Because you can't live by faith.

688
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,000
You're not even hearing the word
of God. 

689
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,320
You're dull of hearing, you're 
sluggish, you're lazy. 

690
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,800
Now I'm not talking about you, 
I'm just saying a general thing.

691
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,480
Now that that person is, is 
sluggish, lazy, they, they are 

692
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,760
not quick to action and change. 
They want to do what they want 

693
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:52,840
to do, and as a result of that, 
they're going to find themselves

694
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,040
in death and definitely going to
go back to infancy and eating 

695
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,160
the milk of the Word. 
He said, however, you're not in 

696
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,160
the flesh, but in the Spirit, if
indeed, if that's a conditional 

697
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,640
statement, if indeed the Spirit 
of God dwells in you. 

698
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,120
But if anyone does not have the 
Spirit of Christ, he does not 

699
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,360
belong to him. 
And that's obvious. 

700
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,520
If you're not born of God, then 
the Holy Ghost doesn't live in 

701
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,320
you. 
If Christ is in you though the 

702
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,400
body is dead because of sin, yet
the Spirit is alive because of 

703
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,600
righteousness. 
Meaning you're not subject to 

704
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,320
the flesh that you're in 
anymore. 

705
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,200
You don't have to do it what it 
craves. 

706
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,560
You can stay with the Spirit. 
But if the spirit of him who 

707
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,480
raised Jesus from the dead 
dwells in you, he who raised 

708
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,440
Christ from the dead will also 
give life to your mortal bodies 

709
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,880
through his Spirit who dwelling.
That just means even though your

710
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,680
body's decaying, He can keep you
healthy so you can finish your 

711
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,400
assignment. 
That doesn't mean He quickens 

712
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,720
your mortal body so that you can
do the things that the mortal 

713
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:48,440
body likes outside of the 
Spirit, because that's deeds of 

714
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,480
the flesh and that's where death
shows up. 

715
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,200
So then, brethren, you are not 
under obligation not to the 

716
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,520
flesh to live according to the 
flesh. 

717
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,960
Just because your flesh talks to
you doesn't mean you should obey

718
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,880
it. 
You're not obligated. 

719
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,800
He goes on to say, for if by for
if you are living according to 

720
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,720
the flesh, you must die. 
But if by the Spirit you are 

721
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,600
putting to death the deeds of 
the body, you will live. 

722
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,400
Here it is verse 14 for all who 
are being led by the Spirit of 

723
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,040
God. 
These are sons of God. 

724
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:31,840
We in the church have 
traditionally accepted that if a

725
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,520
person confesses Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Savior at some 

726
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,440
juncture in their life, that 
slam dunk, they are born again. 

727
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,360
Done. 
No problem and there's no 

728
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:47,680
further evidence required. 
However, if someone has done 

729
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:55,160
that, there will be evidence. 
You cannot truly have accepted 

730
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,200
Christ as your Lord and Savior 
and it not change you on the 

731
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:06,600
outside. 
That is a seducing spirit saying

732
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,320
just ask Jesus into your heart. 
Ask him forgive your sin, but 

733
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:11,480
you can do whatever you want to 
do. 

734
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,360
You understand there's the grace
of God is going to allow you to 

735
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,720
do this. 
You can go back to living like 

736
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:19,160
you used to live doing what you 
used to do, and don't let nobody

737
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,800
tell you anything otherwise 
because no works got you in and 

738
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,880
no works are going to keep you 
there because they take all that

739
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,920
out of context. 
You don't actually have to 

740
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,200
change it all. 
All you have to do is just ask 

741
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,240
Him to come in and you can live 
life like you want to. 

742
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:35,760
You're good. 
That is a doctrine of the devil 

743
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,840
because a person born of God 
will not fulfill the lusts of 

744
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,320
the flesh. 
They're not wanting to do it. 

745
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:51,400
They have no desire to do it. 
I mean, it's talking, but they 

746
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:56,520
crucify the flesh. 
He goes on says, for you've not 

747
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,400
received a spirit of slavery 
leading to fear again, but 

748
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,680
you're receiving a spirit of 
adoption as sons by which we cry

749
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,280
out, ABBA father, wow. 
And this amazing the spirit, the

750
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,880
spirit himself testifies with 
our spirit that we are what 

751
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,520
children of God. 
So we are children of God 

752
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,320
because we are led by the Spirit
of God, which tells us God 

753
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:23,200
expects us to only follow the 
Holy Spirit's voice and another 

754
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,520
one we're not supposed to 
follow. 

755
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,920
But you will not be able to 
proficiently follow that voice 

756
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:36,480
without continual training it 
doesn't have. 

757
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,560
It's not automatic in the sense 
that you'll always get that 

758
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,440
right. 
You immediately have access to 

759
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,520
hear and your spirit does hear 
the Spirit of God the minute 

760
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,680
you're born again. 
But in order for you to become 

761
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,760
proficient at following that 
voice, you must train yourself 

762
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:01,360
to be able to follow that voice.
And if you are deluding or or as

763
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,360
one the scripture says, be sober
minded. 

764
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,600
There are many believers that 
have become intoxicated not from

765
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,120
the things of the world, but 
just from things being 

766
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,680
associated with the Bible 
through people who are not 

767
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:25,980
rightly dividing it. 
And you'll get intoxicated with 

768
00:50:25,980 --> 00:50:29,260
all types of doctrines. 
This is why Ephesians 4 says you

769
00:50:29,260 --> 00:50:34,880
won't be carried away by them. 
I mean, Jesus knew there is 

770
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,400
going to be all kinds of stuff 
out there. 

771
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:44,920
There is a pathway to truth and 
it is straight and it is narrow.

772
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:53,800
I mean, He let it out plain is 
narrow, but unfortunately how 

773
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,160
many find it because most become
dull. 

774
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,720
Amen. 
Luke chapter 4 verses one 

775
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:06,480
through 2. 
It says it this way. 

776
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,440
Jesus full of the Spirit 
returned from the Jordan and was

777
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:14,480
led around by the Spirit in the 
wilderness for 40 days being 

778
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,400
tempted by the devil. 
And he ate nothing during those 

779
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,160
days. 
And when he when they had ended,

780
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,400
he became what? 
Now? 

781
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,360
The first temptation that Jesus 
faced with is to fulfill his 

782
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:30,320
flesh. 
You're hungry, aren't you? 

783
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:32,680
Yeah. 
I'm. 

784
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:33,760
I'm. 
I'm hungry. 

785
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,640
Well, if you are the Son of God,
why don't you turn this rock 

786
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,800
into bread? 
Because that'd be nothing for 

787
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,120
someone that's a child of God to
have that kind of authority. 

788
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,600
Come on, prove it. 
Now, could Jesus have done that?

789
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,200
He sure could have. 
Which means he could have 

790
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:05,320
wielded power to feed his flesh.
Now I'll give you another 

791
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,760
instant that we know this works.
God told Moses speak to the 

792
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,280
rock, but he hit it twice. 
The first time he hit, he said 

793
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,760
hit, strike the rock and water 
come out. 

794
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,800
It did that same anointing in 
power cause water to come out of

795
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:24,400
the rock when he hit it twice, 
but it satisfied A fleshly 

796
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,480
impulse. 
And what did it cost Moses? 

797
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,800
It killed his ability to take 
them into the Promised Land. 

798
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,440
His purpose died because He 
sowed to the flesh using the 

799
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:46,360
anointing. 
It's dangerous to use the 

800
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:55,800
anointing to satisfy your flesh.
Jesus could have, but He did 

801
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,880
not. 
Jesus is a prime example of what

802
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,720
it means to move in maturity 
because he did not allow his 

803
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:05,400
circumstance to dictate his 
response. 

804
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:12,280
How did Jesus respond? 
It is written he cast down the 

805
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,440
thought of the devil and to act 
on that thought that was given 

806
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:21,440
to him by another spirit and he 
only listened to what the Holy 

807
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,560
Spirit was telling him that was 
in line with the Word. 

808
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,360
The Holy Spirit and the Word are
always in alignment. 

809
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:34,360
The Holy Spirit is not telling 
you something contrary to what 

810
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,560
the written word has said. 
Now here's the thing. 

811
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,520
We've said this before as 
counsel. 

812
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:43,720
You know what you need to 
follow? 

813
00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:47,960
Peace. 
OK, I'm going to. 

814
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,680
I'm going to help bring clarity 
to that statement. 

815
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,960
The devil will offer you peace 
when you are in a turbulent 

816
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,480
moment called a trial and 
tribulation that the Lord will 

817
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,040
deliver you out of all your 
trouble. 

818
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:09,400
The devil will give you a peace 
place. 

819
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,800
It will seem peaceful. 
So you can't just follow peace 

820
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:21,040
from a situation. 
You must follow a fruit. 

821
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,920
And I know many people who've 
made decisions not because they 

822
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,480
followed the fruit of peace, but
they followed the situation of 

823
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:31,960
peace. 
Come on. 

824
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,840
That's good. 
Well, if I do this, I'm going to

825
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,680
be at peace. 
It's just more peaceful. 

826
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,240
I'm in so much trouble. 
But if I could just get out, if 

827
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:45,400
I could just go here, if I could
just, I believe the you told me 

828
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,440
to follow peace. 
No, you're following situational

829
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,960
peace. 
You're not following the fruit 

830
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:53,120
of the spirit peace because the 
fruit of the spirit will take 

831
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,520
you straight to the devil and 
you can have peace in the middle

832
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,680
of the fight. 
Isn't that awesome? 

833
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,560
He'll put you right in the 
middle of a battle. 

834
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,240
He'll take you straight to a 
storm and let you sleep in it. 

835
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,880
Hallelujah. 
So peace is not your 

836
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,560
surrounding, is something 
literally internal. 

837
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,600
It's not looking for the place 
less chaotic, it's the place 

838
00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:25,360
inside where you're at. 
Perfect peace that I've heard 

839
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,680
the Lord on this deal. 
And I don't care if this storm 

840
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:33,160
rages, it will cease. 
I'm not moving off my mark. 

841
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,040
Amen. 
So Jesus was led by the Spirit. 

842
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,400
He did not succumb to the flesh,
and He did this because He 

843
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,880
stayed with the Word. 
Let's close with this passage of

844
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,680
Scripture in Galatians chapter 
5. 

845
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,920
Y'all doing all right? 
Amen. 

846
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:55,280
Praise the Lord. 
Now what? 

847
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:02,600
OK, but I say walk by the 
Spirit. 

848
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,200
We'll learn how to walk. 
Walk by the Spirit, what will 

849
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,080
happen? 
You will not carry out the 

850
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:16,680
desires of the flesh. 
That's pretty simple. 

851
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:21,160
And if you are have ears to 
hear, you can know real quick 

852
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,080
that if you're ever in a 
response that's moving you in 

853
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,600
the flesh, then you can say, you
know what? 

854
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:27,840
I'm not walking by the Spirit. 
Amen. 

855
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:33,960
Come on, I need to walk by the 
Spirit here, because if I walk 

856
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,840
by the Spirit, I'm not going to 
carry out the desires of the 

857
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,840
flesh. 17 says this. 
For the flesh sets its desires 

858
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,720
against the Spirit, and the 
Spirit against the flesh, for 

859
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:44,320
these are in opposition to one 
another, so that you may not do 

860
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,040
the things that you please. 
Let me read this out of the New 

861
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,720
Living Translation. 
It says it this way. 

862
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,600
The sinful nature wants to do 
evil, which is just the opposite

863
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,080
of what the Spirit wants. 
And the Spirit gives us desires 

864
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,160
that are opposite of what the 
sinful nature desires. 

865
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:02,120
These two forces are constantly 
fighting each other so that you 

866
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:08,160
are not free to carry out your 
good intentions. 

867
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,480
They're always fighting. 
This is why a person can grow to

868
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:20,440
maturity, proficiently hear the 
Spirit of God, but then have a 

869
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:25,920
situation happen in their life 
or give heed to the wrong voice.

870
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:32,600
And because they're slow to deal
with that voice, they can go 

871
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:40,640
back to infancy. 
I'll give you some some great 

872
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,440
statements that come from the 
enemy. 

873
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,360
You know what? 
You've served a really long time

874
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:46,080
at that church. 
Yeah. 

875
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,320
Come on. 
You should really let somebody 

876
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,960
else do it. 
I mean, you know how much you've

877
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,520
sacrificed. 
Wow, You have so many rewards. 

878
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,520
I mean, I think you should 
probably stop. 

879
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,520
Let someone else don't always. 
Yet the Lord hasn't told you to 

880
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,200
stop. 
Now, your body had talked to 

881
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,160
you. 
Your age had tell you. 

882
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,120
Yeah. 
And most people do it not 

883
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,240
because God's telling them, but 
because they model their work 

884
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,840
life with their church life. 
Well, I'm retiring from work. 

885
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,800
I'm going to retire from serving
in the church. 

886
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:30,510
That's good. 
How do you retire from who you 

887
00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:33,880
are? 
I mean, how does my arm retire 

888
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,120
from being on my body for 55 
years? 

889
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,600
You know, I've served you well. 
I think I'm going to retire. 

890
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,040
I'm done being an arm. 
You know, I want you to take me 

891
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,400
off, take me to an island and I 
just want to get dark on a 

892
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,200
beach. 
That's what I desire. 

893
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,080
I desire to tan. 
So take me there. 

894
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,360
I'm done. 
I don't want you to. 

895
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,280
I don't want to pick up another 
thing. 

896
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,240
Does your arm do that? 
Aren't you glad it doesn't, that

897
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,200
you don't wake up one day? 
Like, where did it go? 

898
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,240
That would be problem. 
But yet we treat the church like

899
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:23,360
we're not a body. 
The cool thing about the things 

900
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,280
that the Spirit is that you get 
stronger in it year by year. 

901
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,920
Though your outward may be 
decaying, your inward is getting

902
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,440
stronger and stronger. 
You're being renewed every day. 

903
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:32,880
His mercies are new every 
morning. 

904
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,040
You're being renewed continually
in the Spirit. 

905
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,920
And if you do what the Spirit's 
telling you, even with your 

906
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,600
physical body all the way along,
you'll get even further life 

907
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,120
being strong physically to carry
out what God's called you to do 

908
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,680
Say Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

909
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,400
So verse 18. 
But if you are led by the 

910
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:54,560
Spirit, you are not under the 
law. 

911
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,040
Now the deeds of the flesh are 
evident. 

912
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,440
What are the deeds of the flesh?
Immorality, impurity and 

913
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,000
sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, 
enmity, strife, jealousy, 

914
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,160
outbursts of anger, disputes, 
dissensions, factions envying, 

915
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,800
drunkenness, carousing, and 
things like these of which I 

916
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,160
forewarned you just as I have 
forewarned you. 

917
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:19,040
Those who, what, who, what? 
Such things will not going to 

918
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:23,120
inherit the Kingdom of God. 
But the fruits of the Spirit are

919
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,120
joy, Lovejoy, peace, patience, 
kindness, goodness, 

920
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,120
faithfulness, gentleness, 
self-control. 

921
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,440
Against such there is no law. 
Now those who belong to Christ 

922
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,960
have crucified the flesh with 
its passions and desires. 

923
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:40,040
If we live by the if we live by 
the Spirit, let us also, you 

924
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,720
know how many believers are 
alive by the Spirit but aren't 

925
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:52,280
walking by the Spirit. 
You can be alive by the Spirit 

926
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:59,600
and yet not walk by the Spirit 
and not walk. 

927
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:08,960
Hallelujah, Amen. 
And in these last days, when 

928
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:19,520
there's so many voices, so many 
voices, so many voices out 

929
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,880
there, you must become 
proficient. 

930
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:27,080
You know, I'm surprised, to be 
honest with you, how well the 

931
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:33,640
enemy has done to attack the 
fivefold ministry that God would

932
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:39,600
place an overseer in your life 
to help grow and develop you. 

933
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,040
And yet when you go to make 
certain decisions in life, 

934
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:48,480
you'll go to God, make those 
decisions, and then never have 

935
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,640
any conversation with the pastor
about it all. 

936
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,000
A pastor, true pastor is never 
going to control your decision 

937
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000
making. 
In fact, I would let you make a 

938
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,280
mistake. 
I would, I would tell you 

939
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,400
though, I remember one 
particular couple years ago came

940
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,160
and honestly, we're going to 
leave the church. 

941
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,800
And I'm like, I mean, they were 
telling me it's my last service.

942
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,520
I'm like, OK, and and this is 
how it's framed now. 

943
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,840
You know, we've been praying and
we believe the Lord wants us to 

944
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,640
leave. 
Well, in my spirit, the Lord 

945
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:36,160
didn't say leave. 
And I was like, OK, so when, 

946
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:37,560
when are you leaving? 
Well, we're done. 

947
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:38,920
It's our last service. 
I said, OK. 

948
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,120
I said, wow, it's interesting in
the world because you're a 

949
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,760
leader, you have you're in 
leadership position, you're 

950
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,200
overseeing things and you're 
going to leave right now. 

951
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,040
Last service service is done and
now you're telling me on your 

952
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,680
way out yet in the natural 
people do a two week. 

953
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,240
The world does this and you're 
going to tell you my heavenly 

954
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:06,880
Father is going to create a hole
in the ministry. 

955
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:15,320
I said no. 
Now this is where it gets real 

956
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,960
touchy. 
That's where it gets touchy 

957
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,840
because God forbid I tell you, 
you heard the Holy Ghost wrong. 

958
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,120
God forbid that. 
Now the reality is, can I hear 

959
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,840
wrong? 
Yes, just like you can hear 

960
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,000
wrong. 
But ultimately it's going to pan

961
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,680
out who's right and who heard 
right. 

962
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:45,800
And when it's evident who heard 
right, the one who was wrong can

963
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,840
easily go to the other one and 
say, you know what? 

964
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,720
You were right. 
I'm glad you stayed with the 

965
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,840
Spirit. 
I was wrong because there's no 

966
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,760
issue when you really have the 
heart of God. 

967
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,000
But I said, no, I don't believe 
this is where you need to be. 

968
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:05,720
It's not what God wants. 
Well, they ended up, you know, 

969
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:10,400
going on now they they had some 
other issues and we were working

970
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,480
with them on that as well. 
So I knew in the spirit they're 

971
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:21,360
just a one is 1 is avoiding and 
is pulling the other. 

972
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,960
This is not good. 
Six months later, they were 

973
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,120
divorced. 
So did God want them to leave? 

974
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,720
Nope. 
No, but they told me they 

975
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:40,320
prayed, they heard God, They're 
following peace. 

976
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:47,160
No, someone had a motive, 
someone God was speaking to to 

977
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,000
help train. 
You know, I've had people come 

978
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,160
up to me throughout the years 
and say, you know, the Lord sent

979
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,480
me here, He's going to take me 
to the next level here. 

980
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,520
Then when we try to get them to 
another level, they leave. 

981
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:57,800
And then I get in trouble for 
it. 

982
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,880
I mean, again, LG, stay, come 
here. 

983
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:06,560
LGLG does personal fitness OK? 
I mean, that's like you going to

984
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,680
LG as a trainer, right? 
LG he's my trainer. 

985
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,560
And I say OK, LG, you know, it's
time for me to get some bigger 

986
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:13,600
legs. 
I need to really have some 

987
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,160
bigger legs. 
You know, yours look awesome. 

988
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,080
Mine do not. 
And So what can we do about it 

989
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,040
now? 
What am I doing? 

990
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,720
I'm subjecting myself to him 
now. 

991
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,360
Are you going to put me in pain?
There you go. 

992
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,400
Can we're honest. 
You don't grow muscles and it 

993
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,920
feel good. 
It hurts, but it's OK. 

994
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,240
And so when I'm doing that other
wall squad, let's just pretend 

995
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,800
you're making me do wall squats.
This is my three thousandth 1 

996
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,760
and I'm hurting so bad and and I
come back and he goes, do one 

997
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,640
more. 
I'm going, I'm done with you. 

998
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,440
Don't tell me. 
Listen, you don't get to the 

999
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,920
next place. 
You don't get to dictate to the 

1000
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:03,120
trainer how to be trained. 
It's his responsibility to see 

1001
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,800
your weakness and train you past
it. 

1002
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,320
And what the Saints are doing is
they're telling the pastors, the

1003
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,480
apostles, the evangelists, the 
prophets and the teachers don't 

1004
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,160
be training me. 
I got the Holy Ghost. 

1005
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:24,280
OK? 
And when you're going into 

1006
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,920
ministry, guess what? 
There's training. 

1007
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,480
You got to subject yourself to 
it because we want to be fit 

1008
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,920
like LG. 
Thank you. 

1009
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,160
Right. 
We want to be strong. 

1010
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,600
Hallelujah. 
And then when you're quit again,

1011
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:53,360
ushers, would you come so we can
do communion in the last of the 

1012
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,920
last days? 
Man, the enemy's really good 

1013
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,360
again. 
Why is it dangerous for those 

1014
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,040
that get dull a hearing? 
Because they're armed with 

1015
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:09,080
scripture that now they use to 
keep themselves deceived in 

1016
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,480
their decision making. 
If the fruits of the spirit are 

1017
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,360
not functioning, you're not in 
the spirit. 

1018
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:24,200
If whatever situation you're in 
right now, Lovejoy, peace, 

1019
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:30,160
patience, kindness, gentleness, 
faithfulness, long-suffering, 

1020
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,880
self-control, those things are 
not functioning and you're 

1021
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:40,200
aggravated, upset beside you're 
in the flesh over it. 

1022
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,320
And This is why a lot of times 
you want to be able to come to 

1023
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,640
those that God has given 
oversight into your life because

1024
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,960
they aren't having to deal with 
your emotional scarring. 

1025
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,280
What they're able to do is say 
what does the word say? 

1026
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:07,040
And it's OK because I would tell
LG this hurts, I hate this. 

1027
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,760
That's the worst exercise I have
ever done in my life. 

1028
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,480
If it was up to me, I would 
never do that. 

1029
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,760
One of which he could say I 
understand, but you're not going

1030
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:23,240
to have this leg if you don't. 
And when he modeling it? 

1031
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:41,399
No, let's let yourself be 
trained because we just want you

1032
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:47,920
to walk. 
We just want you to walk full of

1033
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,160
the Spirit and not be seduced in
these last days. 

1034
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:51,560
Amen.
