1 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,560 Luke chapter 3 verse 21 to 22. It says this Now when all the 2 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,080 people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized. 3 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:27,840 And while he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit 4 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,119 descended upon him in bodily formed like a dove, and a voice 5 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:36,240 came out of heaven saying, you are my beloved son, in whom I'm 6 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,240 well pleased. Now I heard a minister say this, 7 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,640 and so I'm going to say it here. Let me borrow your glasses, 8 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,520 Eric, because what I'm about to do is one of those situations 9 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,760 where we're just trying to make things more clear. 10 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720 The reason why we have glasses is because, you know, there may 11 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000 be a line of sight and then you put these on. 12 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,640 It's not that you cannot see, it's just that you want to be 13 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600 able to see clearer. That's the whole point behind 14 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,320 it, right? So you understand when we begin 15 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,880 to thank you, when we begin to say certain things that have 16 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240 been said through the years or things that we pick up, you 17 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,480 know, just in life, and we have real good intentions of why we 18 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,720 say them. No one is saying that. 19 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,120 You're not saying it from the right intention. 20 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,880 However, sometimes we can be saying something with the right 21 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,920 intention, but it's actually has a, it's actually not as correct 22 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600 as it can be. So, you know, if you look at 23 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,080 this particular passage of Scripture and it's a little side 24 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400 note because I feel like the Lord wants me to go here. 25 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,960 He said, this is my beloved son and you. 26 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,560 I am well pleased. Now, that is the highest 27 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,320 compliment that the Father can give to his children. 28 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,440 That's the highest compliment he can give to his children. 29 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,120 We tend to make this statement when our children, you know, or, 30 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,880 or, or someone we're around is doing something good. 31 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,120 We're like, man, we sure are proud of you, right? 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,720 We make that statement. However, when it comes to the 33 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,120 word, pride is not a positive thing. 34 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,320 OK, now I understand that you're not saying that your children 35 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560 aren't. You're literally conveying how 36 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,680 much you are excited about what they are doing. 37 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,800 I am proud of you, OK? Unfortunately, what it can do, 38 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,720 and we don't even recognize it, what it can do is it can cause 39 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840 our children or who you say to develop a bit of 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,600 self-sufficiency because the whole point behind pride is that 41 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,360 I am good. I can do it. 42 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,920 I can do it independent of. So when Jesus God, when Jesus, 43 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,960 when the Father says is this is my beloved son in whom I'm well 44 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,760 pleased, what he's pointing him to is I'm pleased with your 45 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,240 obedience to my word. So the highest company in the 46 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,800 natural we could actually give our children when they do well 47 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,120 is like, I'm well pleased. And that's really what you are. 48 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000 You're pleased that they are obeying what you've asked them 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,480 to do. Because when pleasing shows up, 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,920 then what happens is is you're acknowledging that they were 51 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,520 obedient to what you asked. I mean, I'm just trying to be a 52 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,560 little more clear because we don't want to give the devil an 53 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,560 occasion where whether it's employee, you know, employer 54 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,720 employees you have or, or relationships you have, you 55 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,120 know, you know, whatever the case may be, or with your own 56 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,760 children that they think they're good and of themselves. 57 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,440 Because that road itself, that can give the enemy an occasion. 58 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,240 Now, not everybody goes down that road. 59 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,280 You say, well, my parents told me I was, they were proud of me 60 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,520 my whole life. I understand that me, my parents 61 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,839 let me do all kinds of stuff that, you know, in light of the 62 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,360 word. I'm like, man, I what what were 63 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,000 we doing in light of the word? Some things I'm like, this can 64 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,440 open doors. I it didn't open the door or if 65 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,480 it did, I just chose not to walk through it because of some other 66 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,800 stuff. But at the end of the day, why 67 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,520 would I even do this? OK, so I want to encourage you 68 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:40,000 as a parent that when your children are obeying and doing 69 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,520 say man, I sure am pleased with you because I it because that's 70 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,080 what our heavenly Father did. I think it had helped take your 71 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,120 family relationship to a whole nother level because now you're 72 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,920 acknowledging to your child the reason I'm pleased because 73 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:03,480 what's it say in Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 6 without faith? 74 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:10,160 It's impossible to please God. Now faith comes by hearing and 75 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320 hearing from the word of God. So obeying his word, being a 76 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,040 doer of his word is why you're walking in faith. 77 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,000 And when you're walking in faith, So Jesus is being 78 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,960 baptized because he acknowledged to John, John's like, I'm not 79 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,960 even worthy to untie your sandals. 80 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,840 You should be baptizing me. He said, permitted unto this, 81 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,160 permitted at this time so that all righteousness can be 82 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560 fulfilled. In essence, my father has 83 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,880 written that this would occur and I'm going to obey him. 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,840 And when he did that, obviously he's baptized by John. 85 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,080 The windows opened up. The Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus 86 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,400 without measure and said, This is my beloved Son in whom I am 87 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,360 well, well pleased. OK, then we jump over into Luke 88 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,600 chapter 4 verse one. It says Jesus full of the Holy 89 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,200 Spirit, say full of the Holy Spirit. 90 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Full of the Holy Spirit returned from the Jordan and was led 91 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,800 around by the Spirit into the wilderness. 92 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Jesus was what? Full of the Holy Spirit. 93 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Jump down to verse 14 of the same chapter, Luke 14414 it 94 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,840 says, and Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the 95 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:25,400 Spirit, in the what power of the So he was full of the Spirit. 96 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Now he's returning in the power of the Spirit and the news about 97 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,360 Him spread through all the surrounding districts. 98 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:41,320 OK, then if you jump down a couple more verses real quick, 99 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,040 it says in in verse 18 and 19, Jesus now in the temple pulls 100 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,080 out the scrolls and he says the Spirit of the Lord is upon me 101 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,000 because why is the Spirit of the Lord upon him? 102 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:03,000 Because he anointed me. He anointed me to preach the 103 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,760 gospel to the poor to send. He has sent me to proclaim 104 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,480 release to the captors, recovery of sight to the blind, to set 105 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,640 free those who are pressed to proclaim the favorable year of 106 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,320 the Lord. OK, now he stops there because 107 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,360 if you go to Isaiah, there's another one and the, the, the 108 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,880 day of the vengeance of the Lord, which is a a day of wrath 109 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,240 that's coming. But when Jesus came, that was 110 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,920 not that time, right? So here Jesus between Luke 111 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,920 chapter 3 to Luke chapter 4, we see the account of when the Holy 112 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,520 Spirit came upon Jesus. And this is really important 113 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:51,280 because again, we need to fully understand why we have the Holy 114 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Spirit. We have learned here at Anchor 115 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Faith Church that there is a lot of truth concerning Scripture, 116 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,760 but that falls between Genesis chapter 3 and Revelations 117 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640 chapter 20. And that is considered the fall 118 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,160 of man. OK. 119 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,920 And when you're in between those two, then things that you see, 120 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,920 things that you read, although they're true, they still are a 121 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,000 little hidden because they do not have original intent and 122 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,520 conclusion, meaning. Revelations 21 and 22. 123 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,159 What happens after it's all over with? 124 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,960 When sins dealt with and everybody's stolen to the lake 125 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,000 of fire, that's disobeyed. And then here we are, new heaven 126 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,159 and new new earth. Because in between 3:00 and 127 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:47,440 Revelations 20, it's about man who's not right with God, who 128 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,360 needs someone to save them, which is Jesus, that when they 129 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,360 died they would go to heaven because that's where Jesus is 130 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,000 currently at. So the whole gospel between 131 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,800 Genesis 3 and Revelation 22 is about being born again, 132 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,920 receiving the power of God, so that when we separate from this 133 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,880 life, we will be with him who's currently residing in heaven. 134 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960 And many of us, we're taught, will be in heaven forever. 135 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640 But when you read the back of the book, there's a new heaven 136 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,040 and new earth, and the new Jerusalem's coming down out of 137 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,560 heaven to the earth. And this becomes problematic for 138 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,480 doctrine when we think we're going to be up there somewhere 139 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,840 when there's a earth here that's going to be redeemed. 140 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,200 Amen. And, you know, we have to ask 141 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,720 the question if we are being redeemed or bought with a price 142 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,320 and we're born again, a born, a new born from above, literally 143 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,680 what are we born to? If we have come out of one place 144 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,400 and gone into a place, then what does that afford us now? 145 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,720 Jesus understands this process because if you read Jesus and 146 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:15,040 the anointing coming upon him, nowhere do we see Jesus 147 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:27,120 highlighting the anointing with how it made him feel, nor did he 148 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960 talk about how many times it put him on the ground. 149 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,440 I'm OK, we're just discussing. Will the anointing put you on 150 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,080 the ground? Yes. 151 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,720 Jesus was so anointed coming out of the garden when He spoke. 152 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,560 Knock people down. No problem with these things. 153 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,360 But again, sometimes what we do, if we do not know why we have 154 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,760 the anointing or why the Holy Spirit's coming upon us, we'll 155 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,960 associate it with a service, right? 156 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,280 And we associate the anointing with actions, certain actions. 157 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,440 Again, question, why do we run when the anointing comes on you? 158 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,760 Why do we run? Hallelujah. 159 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,400 I mean, you understand where where am I going? 160 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,160 Well, what scripture are you using? 161 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240 Well, we understand that Elijah, the anointing came on him 162 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,000 concerning rain and he girded up his loins and he took off. 163 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Well, you understand, we're definitely not being anointed 164 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000 for rain to come and then running. 165 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,280 And I'm not saying you can't run no problem. 166 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:44,040 I'm just saying is it because we see people in these Genesis 3 to 167 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Revelations 20 specifically and see how they are being affected 168 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,640 when the Holy Spirit comes upon them that we are try. 169 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,760 We think that's the reason. Now I'm not saying you can't 170 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,920 have some things again. David obviously have the 171 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,840 anointing come on him and he danced before the Lord. 172 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,840 Please dance. Oh, please dance. 173 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,760 There's plenty of scripture talking about dancing. 174 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080 No problem with dancing, OK? No problem with raising your 175 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,080 hand. No problem with clapping. 176 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,560 No problem that if you get so much on you that you just like I 177 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:15,840 got to go, fine, take off. I understand that. 178 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,280 But again, those are not why we have the anointing. 179 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,720 They're just some effects that sometimes can happen when it 180 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,440 comes on us again. But it's not what we're looking 181 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,360 for, you understand? I don't want the anointing to 182 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,600 run. I don't want the anointing to 183 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,200 have goosebumps. I I don't want the anointing to 184 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,520 fall down on my face before the Lord and then stay there for a 185 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,120 time that then once it lifts, I'm the same person, No change. 186 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,080 I don't want an anointing to come on me to dance, but then 187 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,360 the next day when bad news comes, we're not dancing. 188 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,360 Amen. You know, I wish I was back in 189 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280 that service. Well, why is there the anointing 190 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,120 in the 1st place? OK, because the day of Pentecost 191 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,800 is really significant. And again, we highlight it based 192 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,000 upon a language, but it was something bigger than that. 193 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,240 Because at the end of the day, yes, can we pray in an unknown 194 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 tongue, which is just the language of the Kingdom? 195 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Absolutely. But you understand, the Lord 196 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,720 didn't say, hey, I want you to hang out, wait for the Holy 197 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Spirit to be poured out so that you can speak in an unknown 198 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,920 tongue. You notice he never told them 199 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,720 that. What he said to them is that you 200 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600 would receive what? Receive what? 201 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,200 Receive what power. You know what He didn't say? 202 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,360 He said you'll receive when. When he comes, you're going to 203 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,840 fall on the ground. When he comes, you're going to 204 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,240 flop around. When he comes, you're going to 205 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520 run out the building. When he comes, you're going to 206 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,280 laugh so hysterically that you will not be able to contain 207 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,360 yourself. Now all those things can happen, 208 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,360 but what did he say would happen? 209 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,200 You'll receive power. Now that's important. 210 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,760 Are you hearing me? So let me say this concerning 211 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,200 Jesus in Luke chapter 4 verse 18, he said this. 212 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me. 213 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,280 OK, Luke 4, let's look at this progression real quick before I 214 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,440 go over to Acts chapter 10. Jesus says, now permit it so 215 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,280 that all righteousness can be fulfilled. 216 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,000 He's baptized in the door and he comes up. 217 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,480 The Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus descends upon him, and the 218 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,040 Father said this of my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. 219 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200 Then the next verse, he's full of the Holy Spirit. 220 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,800 Luke 41 He's full of the Holy Spirit after he's tempted of the 221 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,680 devil. So he was full of the Holy 222 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:09,320 Spirit before he encountered the Prince of the power of the air. 223 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:19,120 God didn't. OK, I'll just give you the 224 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,120 punchline because it's going to be easier if I do it from here. 225 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,600 In Luke chapter 3, the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus, of 226 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,360 which he acknowledges in the 18th verse of Luke 4 that he's 227 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,480 been anointed. When the Holy Spirit came upon 228 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,520 him, it was the King's anointing that came on him. 229 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:48,000 He received a King's power. This is significant because he's 230 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,360 full of the Holy Spirit or the anointing that says he's king. 231 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,120 That God who is king on the throne, the Father who is the 232 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,840 King of all creation, says this is my son. 233 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,920 Well, if he's king and this is a son, then guess what? 234 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,520 The son is the son's a king. This is my Son in whom I'm well 235 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,960 pleased. So in essence, the Father says I 236 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,160 will not send my Son to battle the God of this world or the one 237 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:24,960 who's ruling the world until he himself is in his rulership 238 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,760 position. Jesus is without sin. 239 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,680 He's never sinned up to this point. 240 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,920 He's had no sin. So as far as righteousness is 241 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,560 concerned, Jesus is righteous, but he does not be LED. 242 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,160 He is not led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of 243 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,160 the devil until he shows up with the authority of the king. 244 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,600 So he received power, he received the Holy Ghost, he had 245 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,960 the fullness of the spirit, and in that full of the spirit, he 246 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,760 was able to overcome all the temptations of the devil for 247 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,240 those 40 days. And then verse 14 says he left. 248 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,640 He came to the next location in the power of the spirit. 249 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,400 What did he do? I show this God of this world, 250 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,359 or the ruler of this world, the the one who rules the domain of 251 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:25,520 darkness, that there's a new king in the earth because he 252 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,280 could not defeat me. Kings go to battle. 253 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,120 So the king went to battle with the ruler of this world and he 254 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:42,120 defeated him before he openly stripped him of his power. 255 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,560 I mean, it's just the beginning of a long line of defeats for 256 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,160 the God of this world, a long line of defeats. 257 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,240 But Jesus did not go because he had goosebumps. 258 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,800 Jesus did not go because he fell out in the Spirit. 259 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,920 He, Jesus did not go because he was laughing hysterically. 260 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:06,160 Jesus went because he was anointed as king with power. 261 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,920 Now, I'm not going to say that Jesus did not. 262 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,040 The Bible just doesn't tell us that during some of the 263 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,080 temptation, he may have just started laughing. 264 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,240 He could have. For the joy of the Lord is your 265 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,120 strength. And he was tempted 40 days. 266 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:25,560 I mean, it was in intense temptation and persecution from 267 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,120 the Prince of the power of the air. 268 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,520 I mean, I'm going to tell you right now, I don't believe 269 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,320 there's anyone in this room that the devil has showed up at your 270 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,760 house. I don't believe any of you have 271 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,400 ever had an encounter with the devil, Satan himself. 272 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520 Now you'd probably have some encounters with some of his 273 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,400 spirits, but most likely he's never really showed up. 274 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,760 But he showed up with Jesus, right? 275 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960 This is the one that rules that realm. 276 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,720 This is the one that was able to pull the domain or the authority 277 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,920 power from Adam. And now he has it because the 278 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,120 Luke account, which is why I went to the Luke 1. 279 00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:12,240 If you read that temptation is where he says all this domain or 280 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,800 power or authority I'll give to you if you because it's been 281 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,920 handed over to me. If you just bow down and worship 282 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200 me and Jesus like not going to happen. 283 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,720 It's written. It is written. 284 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,960 It is written. That's how you respond. 285 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,120 It is written. It is written now. 286 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,440 I'm not going to say that he didn't say give me some more. 287 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,840 I'm not going to say he didn't get excited. 288 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,800 Jump around. I'm not. 289 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,080 Scripture just doesn't indicate it. 290 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,880 Why? Because those effects are not 291 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800 what's important. What's important is he knew he 292 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:45,000 had power and authority. That's what's important. 293 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,840 So again, if I run in a service or if I dance in a service, or 294 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,000 if I shout in a service, or if I laugh uncontrollably in a 295 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,960 service so that I'm then the next day I'm stronger because 296 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040 of, because again, it's the authority. 297 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:03,160 It's not those particular things in and of itself. 298 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,160 And again, I would have strength because first I would have to 299 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,560 believe that the joy of the Lord actually is my strength. 300 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,480 Because you can laugh and not believe it's your strength and 301 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840 then just be more exhausted after you've been laughing. 302 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560 Have you ever laughed? Did your stomach hurt so bad? 303 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,720 You're like, man, I feel like I'm wore out. 304 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,280 Well, where's the strength at? There's faith that still has to 305 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,880 be applied here. So Jesus had power. 306 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Power here in the Greek means this. 307 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:40,160 It is one who has power to rule. It's the potentiality to exert 308 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,160 force in performing some function power. 309 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,480 So the first thing though, is the power to rule. 310 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,720 So Jesus received an anointing from his Father and says you 311 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,000 have the power to rule. Hallelujah. 312 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,920 Come on, do you have the power of the rule? 313 00:20:56,120 --> 00:21:01,480 That's way more important than anything else that happens with 314 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,960 the Holy Ghost in Acts chapter 10 verse 38 says you know of 315 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760 Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy 316 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,880 Spirit and with there's that word that is one who has power 317 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,440 to rule and how he went about doing good and healing all who 318 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,600 are oppressed of the devil for God was with him. 319 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,840 Now the theological Dictionary of the New Testament says it 320 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,960 this way says these works that Jesus did went around doing good 321 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,760 differ from similar acts of power in contemporary world in 322 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,800 three ways. Number one, they have no 323 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,240 connection with magic. This is not magic, this is not 324 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,400 sorcery. That's witchcraft. 325 00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,560 So this has the anointing has nothing to do with that. 326 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:58,320 This has to do with rulership #2 they are done by the Word, which 327 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,120 is the word of the omnipotent God, whose king Kingdom here 328 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:06,600 enters history and overthrows the rule of hostile forces. 329 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,320 So #1 it's not magic #2 it is from a word, and it's from the 330 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,720 word of the King. Because now the Kingdom of our 331 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:25,720 God has reentered the earth. That's why Jesus said now the 332 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,640 Kingdom of God is at hand. Our Father who's in heaven, 333 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,800 hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come, your will be done. 334 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,960 That's his rule, that's his reign. 335 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,400 He wants that. So the anointing, the reason we 336 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,520 want the anointing is so that it continues to strengthen the 337 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,760 rulership God has given us in Christ. 338 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,360 All right. The third thing is, is the 339 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,760 presupposed faith both in him who does the work and in those 340 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,720 whose behalf they are done. So a personal relationship is 341 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,840 demanded. So again, Jesus had a 342 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,720 relationship with the Father who anointed him, and by faith he 343 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320 carried out the word of his Father. 344 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,240 Both he and God. God believed his own word. 345 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,640 Jesus believed him at his word, and because of that, the word of 346 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,880 the King came to pass. Why? 347 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,160 Because it demonstrated the authority of the Kingdom. 348 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,320 So the anointing when it's in our lives should be a should be 349 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,800 demonstrating the authority of the Kingdom first and foremost. 350 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,440 But again, when we're in between Genesis 3 and Revelations 20, 351 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,360 then we're really just trying to, if we don't watch out, you 352 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,200 know, we, we don't seem to think that there's much the effect on 353 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,880 the earth isn't the same because our goal is to be out of here. 354 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,600 So then we just like these tangible touches from God, 355 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,760 thinking the anointing is a tangible touch from God in our 356 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,400 lives that make us feel better and helps us cope with what's 357 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,480 going on down here. Now the anointing is not here to 358 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320 help you cope or to let you remind you that there is a God 359 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,840 in heaven who cares for you. It is to remind you, you rule 360 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,200 and reign. Now the good news is it does 361 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,200 feel awesome and it's exciting to be in those types of services 362 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,480 where the anointing comes upon you in a greater measure. 363 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600 And again, when people are in one mind 1 accord, it flows even 364 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,760 easier. I'm not saying that it can't 365 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,080 flow with conflict because we know the anointing can flow with 366 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,080 conflict. Jesus obviously was in a 367 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,560 particular room that a guy's ripped the ceiling off and put 368 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,440 their paralyzed friend down. And it says he's seeing their 369 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,240 faith. He ends up speaking to him. 370 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,960 And there were people in the corner that were not there to 371 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,640 support Jesus's ministry, but they were the religious to to, 372 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:54,960 to always be listening and trying to make his words seem 373 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,480 wrong in the ears of those they were talking to. 374 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,120 OK. And so then Jesus by word of 375 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:05,000 knowledge ends up calling them out and said, why do you say to 376 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,120 yourself? So to let you know that not only 377 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,720 can I forgive sins and heal because they're both easy for 378 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,240 me. He told the man to get up and 379 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,680 walk. The man got up and walk and 380 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,640 walked out. So even though there was 381 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:23,160 conflict in the room, power, the authority he had with his word 382 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:28,280 over the paralyzation of the man's body overruled the 383 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,360 paralyzed man's body, called him to be whole again, where he 384 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:36,320 could get up in his own strength and walk out with a mat. 385 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Now that's pretty powerful because when someone's 386 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,920 paralyzed, you know, I don't remember the terms. 387 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,400 That app, you know, where the muscles get really small. 388 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,600 Yes, that's the one. And so obviously the Lord was 389 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,680 able to quicken those muscles. He didn't say, OK, you're healed 390 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,560 now and we're going to help you get up. 391 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320 Now let's do a few squats real quick to do some air squats. 392 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,760 All right, get down a little lower. 393 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,320 Let's keep working it out. Here we go. 394 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,640 Come on, we're doing it. You're getting it. 395 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,360 Starting to get strength. But no, I mean, he jumped up. 396 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,560 Grab the mat. I mean, this happened at the 397 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,960 gate. Beautiful with Peter. 398 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:17,440 Why 'cause Peter was anointed on the day of Pentecost. 399 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,040 And when he goes by in the next chapter, he didn't say, man, you 400 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,800 should have been in the upper room. 401 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:28,480 It was an amazing service. Oh, my gosh. 402 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,120 I mean, we were like drunk. It was crazy. 403 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,240 I mean, I had explained the whole thing. 404 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,400 I mean, you should have been there. 405 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,320 Didn't say that to the man at the gate. 406 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,200 Beautiful. Oh, he didn't testify about the 407 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000 feeling of the anointing upon him. 408 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,280 I mean, it's like I had tongues of fire. 409 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,560 It was crazy. No, what he did, he said silver 410 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,120 and gold, I have none. But what I do have, what do I 411 00:26:56,120 --> 00:27:00,360 have? I have the same anointing that 412 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:04,040 was on King. Jesus is now on me, and he has 413 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:12,040 just authorized me, 'cause I was there when they ripped the roof 414 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,520 off man. And Jesus spoke to that 415 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,000 paralyzed guy and he got up and here I am going to do the same 416 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,680 thing because I'm a king of the King and I'm going to speak in 417 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,200 the name of Jesus. Get up walking. 418 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,200 He was so confident that he grabbed his hand and snatched 419 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,240 him up. That's the anointing. 420 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,960 Well, it's more exciting than you're saying, but that's fine. 421 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,440 It's the anointing because he recognized it wasn't about this 422 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800 service. It was about power, authority, 423 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:55,200 rulership, kingship. Listen same principle that 424 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,320 happened with Jesus. He did with his disciples. 425 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,760 Jesus is born of the Virgin Mary. 426 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,880 He is a man in he's God in the flesh, yet never sin. 427 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:14,120 So when he was one, no sin 2 no sin 5 no sin 10 no sin 13 no sin 428 00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:20,840 16 no sin 25 no sin, 30 years old, no sin. 429 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,080 He is without sin. His nature is free from sin. 430 00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:33,120 This is powerful. His thinking is pure. 431 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,720 Yet the Father says, I don't even want you to go to the king 432 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,560 of this world until I announce your kingship and anoint you. 433 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,880 And here's what Jesus does. And John he breathes on his 434 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640 disciples receive the Holy Spirit. 435 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,480 Now they've been made righteous. They're in the likeness, they're 436 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,840 born again. Their nature now is like Christ. 437 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,480 They are new creatures in Christ. 438 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:04,600 But he said, wait, don't you go witness in one bit yet? 439 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,880 Because I need your kingship to show up because he said the 440 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,160 worst that I do even greater works. 441 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,280 Are you going to do and when? What was the context of that? 442 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,920 If I go, he comes and it's to your advantage that he comes and 443 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,560 I go. Why? 444 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,040 Because if I'm here, I am the king. 445 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,320 But when I go, then I can release that same anointing. 446 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000 And 1st John tells us that we have the same anointing. 447 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,160 So the day of Pentecost is so important because it was God's 448 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:47,240 announcement to a defeated foe that's been whipped and stripped 449 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,440 of his power that I just left a whole lot of kings on the earth 450 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,640 that represent my Kingdom. And they are going to make a 451 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,720 mess of your domain. They're going to make a mess 452 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:05,960 because the same power I had, they now have glory to God. 453 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,800 Amen. So we're not sensing and feeling 454 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,720 and have an anointing just to get us through until we go 455 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,200 somewhere. No, we received an anointing 456 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,600 that has feelings and does certain things to us at times 457 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,240 and causes us to respond in certain ways. 458 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,280 But it's all about this authority, this dominion, this 459 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,840 power that God has given us. Can I get an Amen? 460 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,600 So with that being said, turn over to John 14 again, Jesus 461 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,960 said, truly, truly. I say to you, he who believes in 462 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,000 me, the works that I do, greater works will He do, right. 463 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,040 The worse that I do He will do also in greater works than these 464 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,880 He will do because I go to the Father. 465 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200 John 14 jumps down to verse 16 and seven. 466 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,880 He said, I'll ask the Father and he'll give you another comforter 467 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,440 that he may be with you forever. That is the spirit of truth whom 468 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,720 the world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him, 469 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,720 but you know him because he abides in you and will be in you 470 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,480 right here. It is now in John chapter 20 471 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,720 verse 21 and 22. And Jesus said to them, peace be 472 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:23,640 with you as the Father as as the Father has sent me, I also send 473 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,760 you. And when he had said this, he 474 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,200 breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit. 475 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,080 So the Father sent me in righteousness, impurity, my 476 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,880 spirit man was alive to him. The Holy Spirit came in him in 477 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,320 me. Now at this junk, you know this 478 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,400 juncture is when they actually received the Spirit within. 479 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Up to this point the Holy Spirit had only been coming upon 480 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,520 prophet, priests and kings in the old covenant. 481 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,160 But now this is the death, burial and resurrection of 482 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,200 Jesus. This is after he has been raised 483 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,720 from the dead. He has put his blood on the 484 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,080 mercy seat. The new covenant is in play and 485 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,440 he said receive the Holy Spirit, they receive the Spirit within 486 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,520 that bears witness with their spirit, their children of God. 487 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:17,160 Then he said, now you wait until the promise of the Father. 488 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,360 You know what John was talking about, that he baptized the 489 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,000 water, but I'm going to be baptizing with the Holy Spirit 490 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,320 and fire. He's coming and I want you to 491 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,560 wait till he comes. And on the day of Pentecost, 492 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,880 Whoo, come on. On the day of the day of 493 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,000 Pentecost was God's announcement to the world. 494 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:47,600 Here are the kings of the earth. My gosh, are you hearing what 495 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,480 I'm saying? In Genesis chapter 2 verse 496 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,880 seven, Look at this. Jesus breathed on them in John 497 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,000 20. Why does He do this? 498 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,080 Because this is what the Father did to Adam in Genesis 27. 499 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,360 Then the Lord got four man out of the dust of the ground and 500 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,560 what breathed into His nostrils the breath of life, and He 501 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,440 became a living being. So you understand then the fall 502 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,480 of man cause man to lose access to the Holy Spirit. 503 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,600 So in essence, human beings were made in the image and likeness 504 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,280 of the King, with his own personal presence within them. 505 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,960 Isn't that amazing? In every person's search for 506 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,000 power and meaning in life is this. 507 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120 They are actually seeking the return of the King's spirit. 508 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,160 That's all. Every person in their search for 509 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,280 power and meaning, what they're actually looking for is the 510 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,160 return of the King's spirit. That's what they're looking for. 511 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,560 A human being without the King's spirit is dysfunctional because 512 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,760 he's never complete. His very purpose requires the 513 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,560 presence of the Holy Spirit. Are you hearing me? 514 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:05,640 Come on. Are you hearing me? 515 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,880 Now listen, we have some tools that train in this area. 516 00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:16,560 First of all, cool of the day deals with prayer, how to talk 517 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,639 to your Father. I mean, you understand we write 518 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:26,120 material for no other purpose than to help disciple the body. 519 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,040 And you understand the books that we write are for Anchor 520 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,199 Faith first. If anyone else picks it up, 521 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:39,480 great, but they're for us first. Then as you've read them and 522 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,120 they change your life, then you can get them for other people 523 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,040 because some contents that's within this book isn't being 524 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,639 taught everywhere when it comes to prayer. 525 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,239 Amen. And these are tools because you 526 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,199 understand sometimes it's difficult to get in a 527 00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,240 conversation with people about the Bible. 528 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,760 You know, not a whole lot of people want to talk the word. 529 00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:04,840 So sometimes it's easier to get there by saying, you know what, 530 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:10,640 I picked up a book for you. Oh, OK, yeah, Amen. 531 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,440 Now you pray over that book first, Lord, speak to him 532 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,680 through the book because I can tell you right now it's not the 533 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,760 Bible, but it has a lot of Bible in it, right? 534 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,520 Then we have another tool called lead follower on how to be led 535 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,120 by the Spirit. Again, once the anointing, the 536 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,280 minute Jesus comes out of the Jordan River and the Holy Spirit 537 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,040 came upon him without measure, the Spirit started talking. 538 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,760 Jesus, I want you to go to the wilderness. 539 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,040 And he had to learn how to be a lead follower. 540 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,960 We call Jesus the greatest leader, but the reality is in 541 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,080 the earth as the Son of man, he was the greatest lead follower 542 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,400 because he was just following the voice of his Father by the 543 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,360 Spirit. I don't do anything on my own 544 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,560 initiative, he said, but only what my father says. 545 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,400 So when I'm doing this, you know, they're like, wow, look at 546 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,680 this guy lead. I'm following. 547 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:18,840 And the centurion knew that the centurion when he came to Jesus 548 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,560 about his servant that was sick, he said, what did he say to me? 549 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,680 He said, Jesus, I am on a man under authority. 550 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:32,720 I am a man also under authority and in authority he said I like 551 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:38,000 you, am a man under and in. When I tell my servant to go, he 552 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,920 goes. When I tell him to come, he 553 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,880 comes. I'll tell him to do this, He 554 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,880 does it. Jesus said I've not seen such 555 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,440 great faith. No, not in all of Israel. 556 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,760 But the first thing is centurion recognized about Jesus authority 557 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,960 is the one he was under before the one he was in. 558 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:58,040 Because if you can't be under, and let me just say it this way, 559 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,840 we're all under, Even those outside the Kingdom of God are 560 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,000 under the authority of the devil. 561 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,280 Now, we all have wills, don't get me wrong. 562 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,680 But the demonic realm is seductive, manipulative, and 563 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,400 deceiving. And many of them are like I'm 564 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,200 doing. But you're really deceived and 565 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,080 you don't realize that you're being told stuff and you're 566 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,720 really functioning that way, but you think you're the boss when 567 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:30,400 you're not. I know I'm not the boss, and I 568 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,200 just yielded. God, what do you want me to do? 569 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,480 How do you want me to respond? What do you want me to say? 570 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,920 How do you want me to act? I'm following you and the Holy 571 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,160 Ghost in me will tell me. Hallelujah, Amen. 572 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,880 So again, these are just resources for you, the things 573 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,520 that we experienced on Sunday and we'll experience these more 574 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,280 and more. I mean, we've done it through 575 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,760 the years anyway. You know, you have these ebbs 576 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,320 and flows of, you know, teaching and the moves of the Spirit. 577 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,400 I mean, they're there. But in the last days, it's just 578 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,680 going to be continuing increase. I mean, even already tonight I 579 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,080 had unction to pray for somebody for healing and I just had 580 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,360 unction and I know they'll be healed as a result of that 581 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,800 because the Lord said to do so, right. 582 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,680 And as we're listening and we're yielding and moving and doing 583 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,800 these particular things because it's his church that he's 584 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,000 building. But the reason why Pentecost 585 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,480 comes is so that we can receive. Is that not what he said in Acts 586 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,680 chapter one verse 3. He said in those and these whom 587 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:35,280 he presented alive after his suffering by many convincing 588 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,000 proofs appeared to them over a period of 40 days. 589 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960 And Speaking of things concerning the Kingdom of God, 590 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,240 gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave 591 00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,840 Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, which 592 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,520 he said, You heard from me for John baptized with water, but 593 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,760 you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from 594 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,080 now. Hallelujah. 595 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,680 Now they didn't know what day it was, but they didn't know that 596 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,720 it wasn't many days. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 597 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,920 Now we ultimately know that Jesus appeared to about 500 598 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,240 people. I cannot tell you He personally 599 00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:14,160 invited all 500, but I can tell you that he definitely had a 600 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:20,520 conversation about that. 120 were committed to prayer. 601 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,080 It could have been larger than that right out the gate. 602 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000 We do know 120 submitted to the process of waiting for 603 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000 something, in essence obeying him. 604 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,720 He says that. He says he's coming, we're 605 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:40,680 waiting, we're praying. And again, this is very powerful 606 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,960 because the very first church is birthed out of a prayer meeting. 607 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,680 This is why prayer, corporate prayer time is so attacked. 608 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,800 And the enemy will do everything to convince you not to engage. 609 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,200 And just for the fact that we see this happen in every nation. 610 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,280 Makes me want to assume that 500 could have attended the prayer 611 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:17,880 meeting, but only 120 made it. That means more did not come. 612 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,640 Wow, isn't that amazing? Say I'll be one of the 120. 613 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,960 Come on, just be one of the 120. Amen. 614 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,160 So here's another thought. The most important promise God 615 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,200 ever made to human beings was the promise that the Holy Spirit 616 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,680 would return to live within them because He is the key to life. 617 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,320 When Adam ate the fruit, the Spirit departed from him. 618 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,000 This is what we've been waiting on, that reconnection with not 619 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,040 only God, but our purpose and destiny. 620 00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:06,560 Without the Holy Spirit we are incomplete because God always 621 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,440 intended us to be connected to Him, to be of Him, because we 622 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,160 were created in His image that His Spirit could freely flow 623 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,000 with us. So it's the most important 624 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,600 promise that He made is that He's coming back. 625 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,520 Aren't you glad He came back? It is. 626 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,600 It was the presence of the Holy Spirit within human beings that 627 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,880 gave them the authority and ability to have dominion over 628 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,640 their environment. This is why you want the 629 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,760 anointing. This is why I would say, have 630 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,720 you received the baptism of the Spirit? 631 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,560 It's the power you're after. Tongues is an evidence. 632 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:51,280 It's not the reason, it's the power tongues, just the 633 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,920 evidence. And it's important because you 634 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,440 need to pray in the Spirit. In essence, you're praying in 635 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:03,200 the language of the Kingdom, which is full authority of God's 636 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:10,200 will to impact your environment. What's the Bible say? 637 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,960 When you don't know how you ought to pray? 638 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,720 What do you do? You pray in the Spirit, and 639 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:18,960 praying in the Spirit prays out the perfect will of God. 640 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,680 So God empowered you through an anointing, a King's anointing. 641 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:27,800 That then gives you access to a language that the enemy has no 642 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:35,560 idea what you're saying, and it releases God's perfect will. 643 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,960 You said, but I don't understand it, but God does. 644 00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:41,320 Because when you're in a situation and you don't know how 645 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,280 you ought to overcome this thing God does, and you can pray in 646 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:52,840 the Spirit and release that will you being the king in the earth, 647 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,640 you're releasing the very words from the throne room in the 648 00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:02,640 earth that heaven, earth and under the earth must obey in the 649 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:08,760 name of Jesus, Hallelujah. And in these last days, you want 650 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,600 to be praying in the spirit. You want to be releasing that 651 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,560 when those times you're like, ma'am, I don't even know what to 652 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,360 do here. Well, you know what my heavenly 653 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,440 Father does? Boom. 654 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,000 And you just start letting it go. 655 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,040 And what you're doing is you're you're making decrees and 656 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,320 declares from the throne room of heaven that will cause things to 657 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,400 begin to move. If you understand all creation 658 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:39,160 bows to the word of the king. Hallelujah bows. 659 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,520 So you understand creation is even bowing. 660 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:48,640 Things are bowing to the Spirit of God and the authority and 661 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,760 power. So he says, listen, you the the 662 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,320 this dominion that we get that the Holy Spirit gave us back, 663 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,880 gave us dominion to rule over our environment. 664 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,720 They were to exercise that's us humans. 665 00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:09,080 We are to exercise dominion over the earth under the direction of 666 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:15,320 the Spirit of God. The reason why we could speak to 667 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:21,800 storms is because we have been given authority on the earth, 668 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,120 and when the King, his Spirit, authorizes that, then the storm 669 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:32,680 has to listen again. All of Jesus's miracles were in 670 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,960 the authority. Adam lost every one of them. 671 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,760 Let us make man in our image according to our likeness, and 672 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,880 let him have rule over the right birds of the air, the fish of 673 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,520 the sea. This is why fish are multiplying 674 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,720 all the time with Jesus. Because he had authority over 675 00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:51,320 it. Adam had authority over that. 676 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,760 Jesus can speak and fish listen even when they're dead. 677 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,200 Why? Because all matter. 678 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:05,120 You understand what I'm saying? All that is and exists hears the 679 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,640 voice of Jesus. So it doesn't matter that the 680 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,320 fish are out of the sea and they are technically not alive. 681 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:20,440 Jesus can speak to the substance of the fish, and the cells come 682 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:27,760 alive and begin to multiply this meat on the fish, so that every 683 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,280 time he divides and gives to his disciples, it just keeps 684 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:37,200 multiplying. That's because he's anointed. 685 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:46,440 That's because he's been given the power to rule and he's given 686 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,880 that to us. Wow. 687 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,080 So the restoration of the King's spirit to humanity is central to 688 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,520 the restoration of his Kingdom on the earth. 689 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:04,440 Again, because Genesis 3 to Revelations 20 ministering, we 690 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,160 look at the Holy Spirit and, and a lot of areas only look at the 691 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,840 Holy Spirit as the one who tells us we're children of God and 692 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,360 they only receive the spirit within. 693 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,880 I'm born again. That's all that matters is what 694 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,640 they, you know, tend to think. And so I just know where I'm 695 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,760 going to go when I'm when I die now, because the Spirit of God 696 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,960 speaks to my spirit. I can hear from God. 697 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,120 That's all that matters. Well, that's that's phase one 698 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,720 because it was never about you just hearing from God. 699 00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:38,680 It's about you living like God. Now you're not God, you're a 700 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,120 human being. That is your species. 701 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,000 Can I say it that way? I mean, there are angels. 702 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,560 Angels are not God. They are created species. 703 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:56,400 We are created species called humans, but they're in the image 704 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,160 of God. Hallelujah. 705 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:07,320 So I am no way saying you are God or even a God. 706 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:14,120 What I'm saying is you are a human that is in the likeness of 707 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:20,800 God and can do the same things God can do Hallelujah. 708 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,000 Amen. Now that is good news. 709 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,680 Now is it good news to not go to the lake of fire forever? 710 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,720 But is it also good news to be healed? 711 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,680 Now isn't it also good news to be able to prosper now for your 712 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,840 purpose? Isn't it also good news now to 713 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,760 not ever be depressed, but have the joy of the Lord, which is 714 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,600 your strength? Isn't it also good news to be 715 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,360 given authority over the devil and your flesh? 716 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,920 So the good news just keeps coming. 717 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,440 I mean, the Lord, if he could go into churches, he would be 718 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:06,320 saying stuff like this. But wait, there's more, right? 719 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:12,680 Because there's always more with God as a human, He has empowered 720 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:18,840 me with His spirit so that my spirit with His spirit can do 721 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,680 the works of God. Wow, isn't that amazing? 722 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,480 I said, isn't that amazing? Praise the Lord. 723 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,240 So Jesus said or or Jesus says in Acts 1/8, he said, but you 724 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:35,360 shall receive. What are you going to receive? 725 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:41,880 So again, when we are expecting the anointing or we're asking 726 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:48,400 for the anointing, we're not asking to fall under the power, 727 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,760 although we could. We're not asking that we're 728 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,640 going to laugh, although we could. 729 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,560 We're not asking that we run or have goosebumps. 730 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,000 What we're asking is what Jesus said. 731 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,200 Listen, I want you to receive power. 732 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:11,120 Now, again, because we live in between Genesis 3 and Revelation 733 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:16,440 20, when we focus on the day of Pentecost, we'll focus on the 734 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,120 effect of the anointing and not the purpose of the anointing. 735 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,720 We'll focus on the effect of the anointing and not the purpose of 736 00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:31,120 the anointing. That they were so drunk he had 737 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,280 to explain it. And they say, you know, you want 738 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,160 to get into a service where everybody's looking like they're 739 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,280 drunk. Well, if if you're so under the 740 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,640 influence of the spirit that you're stammering with your lips 741 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,360 and you can't hardly stand up under the anointing, because 742 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,640 that is true stuff. I mean, when the glory of God 743 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,560 came into the temple in the old covenant, the priest couldn't 744 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,400 even stand. There's no issue. 745 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,520 But those are effects of the anointing. 746 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,080 That's not the purpose of the anointing. 747 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,280 The purpose of the anointing is that you receive power. 748 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,200 You understand more people sometimes get discouraged with 749 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,200 Charismatics is because they they they demonstrate effects of 750 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,760 the anointing but aren't walking in the purpose of the anointing. 751 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,560 Yeah. So the Day of Pentecost, its 752 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:32,440 purpose was to give you King's authority, King's power, King's 753 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,240 rulership, and again, your mortal body. 754 00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:40,920 Especially since we don't have a glorified suit, this mortal body 755 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:47,560 is going to to have enough. It will be affected by the 756 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,000 anointing or power of God when it comes upon us. 757 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,680 It definitely will. But again, that's not why I want 758 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,040 the anointing. I want the anointing so that 759 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:59,080 when I'm walking out day in and day out, then I'm functioning in 760 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,760 that authority and power. When when one of the defeated 761 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,480 principalities and powers comes against the church, I'll be able 762 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:15,680 to stay on the seat and speak and respond like a king. 763 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,080 But if you chase the effects of the anointing and the feeling of 764 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,680 the anointing, then your words are going to be based upon how 765 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,640 you feel and you miss the anointing all together. 766 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,200 You actually have an anointing to have authority to control 767 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,400 your flesh, control your mind, control your mouth, speak only 768 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,400 what he says. But because you go after the 769 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,960 effects of the anointing and not the purpose of the anointing, 770 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,760 then your words are going to be filled with effect. 771 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,200 This is why we see Charismatics, or what we would call 772 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,520 Pentecostals, we would call people full of the Holy Ghost, 773 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,920 yet act just as carnal as the world. 774 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,880 They can pray in tongues like crazy on a Sunday and curse on a 775 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,160 Monday. It's craziest thing. 776 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,520 Come on, y'all know what I'm talking about? 777 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,880 Y'all been around a couple? Yeah. 778 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,920 I mean, everybody's growing. I get it. 779 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,560 But again, what is it? We unfortunately, sometimes 780 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,040 we're taught, you know, we're trying to get this sense of 781 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,840 heaven. And the anointing gives us this 782 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,000 kind of feeling of a realm that's not here. 783 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,760 And we begin to chase the feeling instead of understanding 784 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,360 the purpose. Because I don't care who runs, 785 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,360 laughs, shouts, rolls on the floor. 786 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,320 It doesn't. But I don't care if you're so 787 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,760 drunk we got to drag you out of here because you're so full of 788 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,040 the Holy Ghost. No problem. 789 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,440 It's just when I hear you talk, I should hear the words of the 790 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,280 King. It is written. 791 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,680 Your emotions, your behavior should be in alignment with it 792 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,280 is written. Now that's a person that's like, 793 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,040 that's the anointing. They understand the anointing 794 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,240 for their lives and Jesus said, but you will receive what Acts 795 00:52:55,240 --> 00:53:00,000 18 power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. 796 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,720 Please understand I am in no way diminishing the effects of the 797 00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:08,280 anointing. That's just not the purpose 798 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,040 because effects of the anointing can change. 799 00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:13,480 You know, the anointing can get you quiet. 800 00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:18,400 I was talking to a minister not too long ago. 801 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,440 You know, when I say not too long ago, it's been a little bit 802 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,280 OK, you understand, mine not too long ago can be 2-3 years 803 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,960 people. But anyway, I was talking and 804 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,360 they were like, you know, again, just they were dealing with the 805 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:41,160 challenge of, of, of people acting like the Holy Ghost was 806 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:45,000 moving when these effects were in operation. 807 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,880 And they kept they keep pushing. You can push a service to those 808 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:58,200 effects and so was talking about, I remember the day when 809 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:05,120 the anointing would come in and everybody just get quiet, can 810 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,800 hear a pin drop. Babies can be in the service and 811 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,200 never cry when that anointing comes in like that. 812 00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:19,080 See, we want to be wiser. We want to be a mature church. 813 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,760 We want to recognize when the anointing's here and then not 814 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,760 think one effect is more of God than the other. 815 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,640 I mean, in fact, this particular minister said they've received 816 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,600 more direction during the quiet times than they ever did during 817 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,360 the laughing, running or shouting times, although they've 818 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:47,240 done that because if we don't watch out, we brother Hayden 819 00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:49,360 used to say this. If you do not train the people 820 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,240 how to move with the spirit, you'll lose it in a generation. 821 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,280 You can train people about the move of the spirit only in one 822 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:03,240 way and still lose a generation because they'll think that's the 823 00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:09,680 only way. They'll think that's the only 824 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,080 way. So if you're going to talk about 825 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,320 the effects of the anointing, then talk about all of them. 826 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,320 Don't talk about the one that made you feel the best. 827 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,520 And here's the thing, A lot of times when we're dealing with 828 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,600 stuff and God brings the anointing on our lives and we 829 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,920 feel, I mean, how many have felt his tangible presence even on 830 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,240 Sunday, right? I mean, and then even today, how 831 00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:34,360 many feel his tangible presence? Yeah. 832 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,520 I mean, you can just like, but it's not about feeling Him. 833 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:45,720 It's about knowing Him, right? It's about knowing him. 834 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:52,160 But we can feel him. We can respond with our emotions 835 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,520 when it's directed by our Spirit, no problem. 836 00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:03,560 However, it's not the feeling we're after, and Jesus is trying 837 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,640 to emphasize that here. But you will receive power when 838 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,560 the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my 839 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,280 witnesses both in Jerusalem and Judea, Samaria, and even to the 840 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,000 run as parts of the earth. We'll close with this one here. 841 00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:20,640 Acts 2, one through 4. Pentecost was Sunday, Amen. 842 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,920 Which again, is just 50 days after Passover. 843 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,360 That's what that means. Pentecost by itself is not 844 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:36,040 about, I don't want to say Pentecost was something prior to 845 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:40,080 the outpouring of the Spirit because it was a type and shadow 846 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,760 of something to come, which was the outpouring of the Spirit. 847 00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:46,920 You understand what I'm saying? OK, so this was 50 days after 848 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,600 Passover. Pentecost had come. 849 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:54,400 So the fulfillment of this particular feast, which is 850 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,440 called the Feast of Weeks as well, is going to be fulfilled 851 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,360 through Jesus. And the Holy Spirit said they 852 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,280 were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from 853 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,000 heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the 854 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,160 whole house where they were sitting. 855 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,320 And there appeared to them tongues as a fire distributing 856 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,200 themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 857 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,240 And they were all. How many were all filled? 858 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,440 That means he doesn't feel some and none all. 859 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,120 In this context, we feel all. Now, I'm not talking about the 860 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,480 gifts of tongue. That's something different. 861 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,080 This is about receiving power. All of us can receive power. 862 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:41,640 The Holy Spirit has gifts. OK, you understand? 863 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,960 We'll debate this. People will debate this. 864 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,920 Well, now, if you're Speaking of tongues, that's a gift, you 865 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,520 know, because the gifts of tongues, well, you know, there's 866 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,560 the gifts of healings. Yeah. 867 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,920 The Bible says every believer can lay hands on the sick and 868 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,720 they shall recover, and the gifts are not required. 869 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,160 But there are some healings that require gifts. 870 00:57:59,960 --> 00:58:04,120 So again, if you can have healings without gifts, then you 871 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,040 can have tongues without the gift of tongues. 872 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,560 So they're two separate things. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 873 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,880 So again, this is the endowment of power. 874 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:21,360 We focus on tongues when we need to focus on power, because if 875 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,960 you come for the power, you'll, you'll speak in an unknown 876 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,280 tongue. That's, I mean, it's just going 877 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,400 to happen because it comes with the power. 878 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,080 So they were all filled with the spirit, began to speak with 879 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,240 other tongues as the spirit was giving them others. 880 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,920 And you understand that there is, they are unknown tongues, 881 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,040 but they're not limited to unknown tongues because Paul 882 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,800 literally talks about it being an unknown tongue where your 883 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,640 mind's not fruitful, period. However, you can speak another 884 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,120 language. I have personally spoken in some 885 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:58,000 Asian tongue. Once I was in prayer and I was 886 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,800 praying and I started praying in some Asian and I knew in my 887 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,200 spirit, this is a language. I knew it. 888 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,080 Now, no one's in the house but me, so I don't know what I'm 889 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:17,840 saying, but I knew in my spirit, if I was in that country, they 890 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,080 would understand me. And then I perceived in my 891 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,000 spirit that someone within that nation needed something, that 892 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,920 God used that language through me to decree what was necessary 893 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,000 to break. And I'll never know what that 894 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,240 is, probably this side. I may not never know what this 895 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:40,000 is, this side of heaven, this side of the Bema seat or the 896 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,960 reward seat of Christ, because I believe at that moment, because 897 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,040 I united that whatever occurred and whatever was released, 898 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,360 because once I got a release, I quit speaking in it, then 899 00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,560 whatever that was, I believe the Lord will let me know on that 900 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,600 day. But at this point I don't know 901 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,600 what it is. So again, you couldn't say, 902 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,040 well, that kind of sound, you know, you may be speaking in a 903 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,360 language known to someone somewhere, period. 904 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,040 Now, I'll even give you this one. 905 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,520 Pastor David EMI, who went on to be with the Lord, was my pastor. 906 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,560 At Word of Life, before I came and planted this church, I had 907 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,560 him come to Anchor Bay Church and minister and he ministered 908 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,320 on the Holy Spirit and we were over at 312 in a backroom 909 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,720 because we were doing some remodeling. 910 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,760 We got stuck in 3000 square feet instead of having the whole 10 911 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,760 and so we he was back there ministering. 912 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,320 Well, a lady was there with a friend who only understood 913 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:37,720 Spanish, and so while he was ministering in English, she was 914 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,640 leaning over and translating what he was saying. 915 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,480 About halfway through, the lady who was receiving the 916 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,240 translation said, you don't have to talk to me anymore. 917 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,600 He's speaking in Spanish. I hear him perfectly. 918 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:52,880 But he was not speaking in Spanish. 919 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,160 He was speaking in English. But when it hit her ears, it 920 01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:01,200 changed. Now I cannot explain that, but 921 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,000 that was her testimony. You don't have to translate. 922 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,080 I can hear him perfectly speaking in my language. 923 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,400 And she listened to him the rest of the time. 924 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,600 Now they're sound waves, you understand, You can interrupt 925 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:15,920 sound waves. They're out. 926 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,480 But the Lord can tweak that. OK. 927 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,680 But again, we've been emphasizing language when the 928 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:32,880 emphasis is power. So the day of Pentecost was the 929 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:40,240 great coronation of the kings. It was a ceremony that the earth 930 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:48,880 is about to be full of kings of in Christ's that and he 931 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:56,240 demonstrated this with 120 in one day 120 people were were 932 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:02,880 anointed as kings that then Peter says do you want to 933 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,960 receive your kingship too. He said this is that which was 934 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:11,360 prophesied by the prophet Joel. He goes on and ministers and 935 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:16,160 they're like what must we do because he said this promise is 936 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:20,240 for you. You can have this power too. 937 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:28,080 And 3000, who came that day not thinking they would be kings, 938 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:34,360 but became kings that day. And then it started a King's 939 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:38,200 revival. That ain't. 940 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,360 People are just getting in the Kingdom, being born from above, 941 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,400 being anointed, and then they're all operating and functioning 942 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,680 like little Christ. And it became such a wild thing 943 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,880 that in Antioch, people would recognize them as Christians. 944 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,800 Why? Because they function like 945 01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:02,800 Christ. So if you're a Christian, then 946 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:08,680 you're just saying you're a little king of the king, and if 947 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,880 you are, then you need to function in his authority. 948 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,520 Hallelujah. So first take authority over 949 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:20,720 your own life, your own mind, your own emotions, your own 950 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,480 desires. Yield and submit them to the 951 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,480 King of glory. And then as you do that, God 952 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,480 will release your authority even more out into the earth. 953 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,160 Hallelujah.
