Well, we've been ministering on 4 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,480 the Holy Spirit for several weeks now. 5 00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:30,420 Had a break and then pastor wanted to minister last 6 00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:36,940 Wednesday to everybody. But I want to continue on with 7 00:00:36,940 --> 00:00:42,140 the ministry of the Holy Spirit and I don't have time to go back 8 00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:46,140 and recap because we have really covered a lot concerning the 9 00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:49,580 Holy Spirit. And for those that still want to 10 00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:53,020 know more about the Holy Spirit, I encourage you to go back and 11 00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:58,090 listen to all the podcast. You know, on these Wednesday 12 00:00:58,090 --> 00:01:04,209 nights, so that you can become more acquainted with the 13 00:01:04,209 --> 00:01:06,410 ministry of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 14 00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:15,810 You know, one thing that I was thinking about today is, you 15 00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:22,770 know, when we get born again, our life begins as, you know, a 16 00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:26,690 journey with the Lord. You know, when we get born 17 00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:31,810 again, it's not a, you know, end of all things, but a lot of 18 00:01:31,810 --> 00:01:35,890 people live like that. But when you get born again, you 19 00:01:35,890 --> 00:01:39,330 just then what? Enter into the Kingdom of God. 20 00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:43,290 And when you enter into the Kingdom of God, he calls you a 21 00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:48,960 babe in Christ. We are not supernatural spirit, 22 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520 you know, beings that know everything there is to know 23 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,520 about God, about who he is and how he operates automatically, 24 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,080 just because we get born again. When we get born again and we 25 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,479 come into the Kingdom of God. Really, the journey just begins 26 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,990 in discovering. Who we are and who he has made 27 00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:21,950 us to be as His children, right and citizens in the Kingdom of 28 00:02:21,950 --> 00:02:25,830 God, or part of the family of God. 29 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:29,910 Amen. And so once we get born again 30 00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:36,450 and we come into the Kingdom. There are so many things that we 31 00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:41,970 have to learn and grow in knowing who God is. 32 00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:46,330 But not only knowing who God is, knowing who we are. 33 00:02:46,330 --> 00:02:51,730 Now in Christ the journey just begins. 34 00:02:52,370 --> 00:02:58,010 And I was looking back on my life and you know, we have so 35 00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:01,370 many new people, you know and and through the years I've 36 00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:04,880 shared. A little bits and pieces of of 37 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,640 my testimony and different things, but the Lord has really 38 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:16,600 been bringing up to me, you know, just certain things that 39 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,840 specifically happened in my life and my wall with Christ that has 40 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840 brought me to the place that I'm with and in today. 41 00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,460 And it's very important that you recognize, as I said, you just 42 00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:39,500 don't get born again and become this spiritual person, right? 43 00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:44,500 It is a process. It is a process, and it's a 44 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:50,980 transformation. And so many people abort. 45 00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:57,740 The full purpose and plans that God has for their life. 46 00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:03,940 One, because they don't understand the working of the 47 00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:09,420 ministry now of the Holy Spirit in our life, OK. 48 00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:15,340 And so, you know, he was reminding me just about some 49 00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:21,339 things and when I first got started on this journey. 50 00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:27,060 You know, I got born again at 8 years old at a vacation Bible 51 00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:30,180 school. I'm gonna share a little bit. 52 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:31,860 OK? Is that alright with everybody 53 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:34,460 tonight? Because I believe that it's 54 00:04:34,460 --> 00:04:40,020 important, because this is gonna help you in those times that you 55 00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:46,540 feel like giving up, you know, falling away. 56 00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:51,970 Rejecting and denying some things that we've talked about 57 00:04:51,970 --> 00:04:56,650 with the concerning the Holy Spirit and then help you learn 58 00:04:56,650 --> 00:05:00,970 how to simply yield to some things that you may not 59 00:05:01,130 --> 00:05:06,250 completely understand. You may not completely 60 00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:10,210 understand everything that God is doing in your life. 61 00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:15,170 But if you will just begin to yield to a certain nudges and 62 00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:19,770 certain things, you'll see that that is the working of the Holy 63 00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:24,090 Spirit's ministry in your life, OK? 64 00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:30,850 And so he reminded me of the fact that at 8 years old, I got 65 00:05:30,850 --> 00:05:33,610 born again at a vacation Bible school. 66 00:05:33,930 --> 00:05:37,010 My family did not go to church on A. 67 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:42,430 You know, every day, Sunday, Wednesday, we may occasionally 68 00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:44,590 have went. Maybe when I was younger I 69 00:05:44,590 --> 00:05:48,030 really don't recall ever being a part of a church or going to a 70 00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:53,510 church on a consistent basis. But I did get born again at 8 71 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:58,350 years old in Laldy, Florida at Northside Baptist Church. 72 00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:06,390 I remember. I remember. 73 00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:14,220 That's how powerful the seed of God is in your life. 74 00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:20,340 Got water baptized at 8 years old. 75 00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:25,780 And remember the encounter of God as a 8 year old little girl. 76 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:30,660 That was I knew God was real. I knew he was real. 77 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:36,120 I knew I had encountered him. But because of my life and 78 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,440 different events and you know, things that I went through as a 79 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,440 child and and growing up and of course we it's not like I went 80 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120 back to church after that vacation Bible school. 81 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,400 We didn't go back to church on a consistent basis or anything 82 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,080 like that. So I wasn't in a in the church. 83 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,160 I did not know how to grow or even understand what I had just 84 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,610 experienced. In my life, right? 85 00:07:05,770 --> 00:07:09,170 I'm sure there's many people in here that can relate to that. 86 00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:13,890 That's why I'm so thankful that we have a children's ministry, 87 00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:18,250 that you should be also encouraging your children with. 88 00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:24,690 What you are receiving is the word of God that can change your 89 00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:28,890 absolute life and start teaching them how to apply it to their 90 00:07:28,890 --> 00:07:34,330 everyday lives. As children, As youth, right. 91 00:07:35,210 --> 00:07:38,930 So because I didn't have that growing up, OK? 92 00:07:39,930 --> 00:07:45,730 And so the Lord reminded me of when I really didn't know 93 00:07:45,730 --> 00:07:52,290 anything about God, OK, But I knew I had encountered him at 8 94 00:07:52,290 --> 00:07:54,130 years old, and I knew he was real. 95 00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:57,730 And no one could really ever take that away from me because I 96 00:07:57,730 --> 00:08:00,630 knew he was real. Even though I didn't know what 97 00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:03,750 to do with it after the fact, right. 98 00:08:04,870 --> 00:08:09,790 And so then, you know I get pregnant at 15. 99 00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:16,070 Well, anyway, get pregnant at 15 because of my life. 100 00:08:16,590 --> 00:08:26,190 And you know have my oldest son at 16 but between 16 and 18. 101 00:08:28,010 --> 00:08:33,530 I started having nudges from the Holy Spirit in my life and I did 102 00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:36,610 not know. I can tell you what it is today, 103 00:08:36,890 --> 00:08:41,090 but at the time, I did not know that that was the Holy Spirit. 104 00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,410 I did not know that that was the Holy Spirit. 105 00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:49,890 I did not know anything that I know today about the Holy 106 00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:52,170 Spirit. I didn't know any of this stuff, 107 00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:55,810 right. I was just barely born again. 108 00:08:56,390 --> 00:09:02,350 But between 16 and 18, because I'm now with a child, married 109 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:07,470 and ready to, like, grow up, because I have to, now that I 110 00:09:07,470 --> 00:09:13,830 have a child and responsibility, you know, the Lord started just 111 00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:17,100 nudging me. I couldn't tell you that it was 112 00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,580 the Lord. I just felt like something on 113 00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:24,060 the inside was nudging me, that I needed to go to a church. 114 00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:26,260 I didn't even know what church to go to. 115 00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:32,740 And so I started, I went to a church. 116 00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:37,020 And the reason I went to this Church of God is because, you 117 00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:44,460 know, my exhusband. His sister and brother-in-law 118 00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:47,100 were going to a Church of God at the time. 119 00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:50,780 And so I just thought, and they invited us there. 120 00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:53,340 And so I just thought, OK, well, I'm just going to go to this 121 00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:56,460 Church of God. Well, I knew nothing about the 122 00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:58,820 Holy Spirit. Well, evidently this Church of 123 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:02,180 God was a Church of God that spoke in tongues, right? 124 00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:04,900 I didn't know nothing about this or anything. 125 00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:12,330 And so, you know, here all along the Holy Spirit is nudging me to 126 00:10:12,330 --> 00:10:17,250 go to church, to, you know, make some changes in my life because 127 00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:21,530 now I'm a young, you know, mother and out of school and all 128 00:10:21,530 --> 00:10:26,770 these things. And so I start going, and I get 129 00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:31,330 filled with the Holy Ghost and these, you know, Pentecostal 130 00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:34,070 women. Took me under my under their 131 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:38,190 wing and started ministering to me in a way and I did not 132 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:43,470 realize today what God was doing then until today. 133 00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:48,630 But took me under their wing and started kind of mothering me 134 00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:52,030 when I was. I was still in and out at that 135 00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:55,510 time because the other half didn't want anything to do with 136 00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:57,270 it. Still wanted to be a teenager? 137 00:10:57,270 --> 00:11:00,430 Live like a teenager, You know, Act like a teenager, do all the. 138 00:11:00,990 --> 00:11:07,310 You know, things that we were doing and you know, but so I was 139 00:11:07,310 --> 00:11:12,350 navigating that situation. But I'll never forget one time I 140 00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:16,390 was at home after I have received the in feeling of the 141 00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:19,390 holy or spoken tongues. Didn't know that this was 142 00:11:19,390 --> 00:11:21,630 something you could do on a continual basis. 143 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:25,390 I didn't know anything about it. Just thought it was an 144 00:11:25,390 --> 00:11:28,870 experience at church, right? That you need. 145 00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:33,410 And wasn't taught that I could pray in tongues and all these 146 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:35,610 things at any moment. You know, I didn't know 147 00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:43,770 anything, right. And so I got myself a Bible and 148 00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:49,210 started reading my Bible. And, you know, on and off going 149 00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:52,410 through all this. Well, by the time I'm 18, I'm in 150 00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:54,970 the midst of a separation and a divorce. 151 00:11:55,370 --> 00:12:01,470 And you know. I'm like, really defeated and 152 00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:05,030 thinking what's gonna happen with my life, You know, what 153 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:07,790 have I done? You know, what have I done? 154 00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:10,070 What have I done? What's gonna happen with my life 155 00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:12,470 now? You know I'm not gonna have 156 00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:15,390 anybody to help me take care of my child. 157 00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:17,870 You know, I'm here, all these things. 158 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:24,660 And I just remember. The Holy Spirit, I didn't know 159 00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:27,180 it was him then. I'm just telling you, that's who 160 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:30,780 it is, right? Because I just remember him 161 00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:33,820 nudging me to pick up the word and begin to start reading the 162 00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:36,860 Bible. And so I picked up the Bible and 163 00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:40,900 started reading it. And then all of a sudden I 164 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:46,620 started singing a song, right? Because he lives. 165 00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:51,460 I can face tomorrow because he lives. 166 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:59,760 You know, all fear is gone. And because he lives, I have 167 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480 hope for the future. You know all these things. 168 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,000 I knew I was singing it all in my prayer walk today and can't 169 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,600 even sing it now. But so you know, all along, 170 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,440 knowing I didn't know this was God, this was the Holy Spirit 171 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,640 working and nudging and doing these things in my life. 172 00:13:22,180 --> 00:13:27,860 But I just yielded to these things because I felt his 173 00:13:27,860 --> 00:13:33,460 presence and I didn't understand what was happening and and those 174 00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:36,040 few moments, you know? There. 175 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,720 And I just began to yield to these things. 176 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,800 And some of you've heard, you know, it was even still during 177 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,840 that process that you know, I was reading in Matthew and and 178 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,000 the Holy Spirit began to speak to me out of the word of God and 179 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,080 said, you have hatred in your heart towards your Father and 180 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,880 you need to ask him to forgive you. 181 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,720 That was all through this whole span. 182 00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:03,210 Of time, of all of these things that I was going through, and 183 00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:07,810 all along the Holy Spirit is nudging me and speaking to me in 184 00:14:07,810 --> 00:14:12,290 these ways and in these things. And I didn't know, but all I 185 00:14:12,290 --> 00:14:17,490 knew is I had to do what I was feeling, you know, on the 186 00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:22,370 inside, because I knew that it had to have been God, obviously, 187 00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:27,720 if it was coming from His word. And so just began to take those 188 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,040 little steps and yielding when I didn't know what was happening, 189 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,640 I didn't know that that was the Holy Spirit. 190 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,200 I didn't know that that's how God would begin to speak to you 191 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:48,320 through His word. And so, you know, doing that is 192 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,920 where my journey with my relationship with the Lord 193 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,790 started. It started there and simply 194 00:14:58,790 --> 00:15:03,070 yielding to some of those nudges and some of those things. 195 00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:08,110 And I couldn't explain it then, but I know what it is now. 196 00:15:08,590 --> 00:15:13,470 And when I look back along that journey and along my life 197 00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:17,910 through those years of, you know, everything that I went 198 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:22,510 through, it was all the Holy Spirit working in my life. 199 00:15:23,830 --> 00:15:27,070 And me yielding. And every time I, because I had 200 00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:31,950 encountered that, I mean he literally came, his presence 201 00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:40,710 came into my home at that time. And so I can encountered a piece 202 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:43,230 like I had never encountered before. 203 00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:49,510 I had encountered, you know, his presence, like I had never 204 00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:52,550 experienced anything before in my life. 205 00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:57,930 And so all along I would just begin to yield to those things 206 00:15:57,930 --> 00:16:01,890 on this journey and on this walk with him. 207 00:16:02,130 --> 00:16:08,530 And it was during 18 to 21 going through all of that, you know, 208 00:16:08,530 --> 00:16:13,970 and beginning to cry out to the Lord and say, Lord, I don't want 209 00:16:13,970 --> 00:16:18,970 this kind of life. I cried out to him and he came 210 00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:23,870 into the room. And he began to minister to me, 211 00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:27,870 and I couldn't explain it. I just knew I was encountering 212 00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:31,310 his love like I had never encountered before. 213 00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:39,270 And so from those points on, I just began to start yielding as 214 00:16:39,390 --> 00:16:43,310 I went along my life and walk with him. 215 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,120 And the more you do that and submit to the things that you're 216 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,400 hearing or the nudges that you're receiving, even if you 217 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240 don't understand it and you can't explain it. 218 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:07,079 But if you do it, you'll begin to walk in and walk by the 219 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:12,000 Spirit of God in your life, and will be in a place when you look 220 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,660 back and say but God. But God, and it starts like 221 00:17:18,660 --> 00:17:21,579 that. And let me tell you, it does not 222 00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:28,660 end until the day we get taken up and glorified and return and 223 00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:32,300 all those things. Listen, you will always have to 224 00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:38,700 yield. Yield to those things of the 225 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:43,740 Holy Spirit. If we want to see our lives 226 00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:50,020 completely restored, come on. If we want to see our lives 227 00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:54,620 completely in the plan and the purposes that God has for us. 228 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:59,940 If we want to completely see restoration of what the enemy 229 00:17:59,940 --> 00:18:04,700 try and how the enemy try to destroy our lives. 230 00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:09,380 Right. If we want to see complete and 231 00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:14,820 healthy wholeness that God wants for every single person, 232 00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:20,500 complete restoration, we must learn how to yield to those 233 00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:25,740 things in the on the inside and submit to it. 234 00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:30,340 That's what that means. When you yield to it, you're 235 00:18:30,460 --> 00:18:35,750 submitting to it. And the bottom line is, if we 236 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:44,190 don't submit to it, God can't do anything about it, can't do 237 00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:48,790 anything about it, nothing. But we have to learn how to 238 00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:51,870 yield to those things on the inside. 239 00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:54,110 And that's what I want to talk about tonight. 240 00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:57,750 The inner working of the Holy Spirit. 241 00:18:58,830 --> 00:19:02,430 The inner working. Of the Holy Spirit, I can tell 242 00:19:02,430 --> 00:19:08,870 you right now that God has completely restored my life, 243 00:19:09,070 --> 00:19:19,310 100% spirit, soul and body. And that's what He wants for 244 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:23,990 every one of His children, every one of His children. 245 00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:28,910 But it's up to us to yield to it. 246 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:35,060 To simply yield to the Holy Spirit that's working within our 247 00:19:35,060 --> 00:19:37,820 lives. So we're going to start with the 248 00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:40,300 inner working of the Holy Spirit. 249 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:44,540 There's two functions, main functions of the ministry of the 250 00:19:44,540 --> 00:19:49,300 Holy Spirit, and that is what we've heard about is the Spirit 251 00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:55,300 within and the Spirit upon. And so tonight we're going to 252 00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:59,140 start on our journey with the Spirit Within. 253 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:06,240 Now we know that once we get born again, we have the Spirit 254 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,360 of God living on the inside of us, right When we get born 255 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:14,960 again, we're going to see through all of these Scriptures 256 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,960 that we see that the Holy Spirit comes to dwell on the inside of 257 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,290 us. And we're gonna see the workings 258 00:20:24,330 --> 00:20:28,530 of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and what the 259 00:20:28,530 --> 00:20:32,970 responsibility, you know, the that the Holy Spirit has 260 00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:40,410 responsibilities, what the Holy Spirit's responsibility is in 261 00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:44,450 the inner working of a believer once we get born again. 262 00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:48,230 You know, we've said this, Most people, when you hear people 263 00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:52,110 talk about the Holy Spirit, the first thing they talk about is, 264 00:20:52,270 --> 00:20:57,270 you know, the gifts of tongues. And all they think about is 265 00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:59,670 speaking in tongues. Or when people hear about the 266 00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:03,270 Holy Spirit, all they think about is the power and the 267 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:06,510 feelings and all the things like that. 268 00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:13,430 But there's not much talk about the inner working of the Holy 269 00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:16,380 Spirit. And the inner working of the 270 00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:22,140 Holy Spirit is the most important side. 271 00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:29,620 We need it all. But we can't have the power and 272 00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:36,190 neglect the working of what he needs to do on the inside. 273 00:21:36,190 --> 00:21:40,350 Because I'm gonna tell you what the power can't sustain. 274 00:21:40,510 --> 00:21:43,990 If you don't have the character of the working and the 275 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:49,550 sanctification of the inner working of the Holy Spirit, you 276 00:21:49,550 --> 00:21:55,950 will get kooky. You will get crazy. 277 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:06,040 You will get extreme. You will get fanatical without 278 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:14,240 the inner working of yielding to the character of God, the nature 279 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,440 of God, and all of the things that the responsibility of the 280 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Holy Spirit's job to bring the sanctification and holiness of 281 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,520 God. You will get cookie. 282 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:31,280 You'll get off if you don't begin to allow the inner working 283 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,680 of the Holy Spirit in your life because it can't sustain it. 284 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:45,960 And so it's very important because listen, this is part of 285 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:52,400 a believer's growth in Christ. We've talked about that we are 286 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:59,080 to what, mature as believers we are to grow up spiritually, and 287 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,200 we cannot grow up spiritually if we refuse the inner working of 288 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:11,530 the Holy Spirit in our lives. K So you can be born again and 289 00:23:11,530 --> 00:23:17,130 never allow God to do, never allow the Holy Spirit to work 290 00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:29,970 within you, you can be born again and never allow the Holy 291 00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:34,250 Spirit inner working within your life. 292 00:23:37,010 --> 00:23:43,960 K And so we have to take the responsibility to allowing the 293 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,680 Holy Spirit to do that in our working by us yielding to it, 294 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,320 OK, by yielding to it. So the responsibility of the 295 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,200 Holy Spirit is to teach us we've we've read many of these 296 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:05,320 scriptures, but to mature us and to grow us up spiritually to 297 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:12,200 produce the 9 characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit and the 298 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,440 nature of God. And the Holy Spirit's 299 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:22,610 responsibility is all about producing moral character, 300 00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:31,690 lifestyle, behaviors and characteristics of the Kingdom 301 00:24:31,690 --> 00:24:37,610 of God within your life. That's what the inner working of 302 00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:42,290 the Holy Spirit within us is to do, OK? 303 00:24:43,810 --> 00:24:52,400 It's to develop us, to mature us, and to produce the 304 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,680 characteristic and the character of God as Kingdom citizens in 305 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,600 the earth. What true Kingdom citizens look 306 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,200 like. OK, Doctor, Miles Monroe said 307 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:13,240 this about concerning the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit is 308 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,400 about developing the relationship that you have with 309 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,320 God. It's about developing the 310 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,920 communication that you have with God. 311 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:30,280 It's about developing the representation of who you are in 312 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,280 Christ. How we represent Christ, which 313 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,430 has to do with character and nature, if we right, are created 314 00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:42,710 in His image and in His likeness. 315 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:45,750 This has to do with who he is, how He functions. 316 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:52,990 And this all is a process of growing and developing and 317 00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:57,990 yielding along the way to the things of the Holy Spirit in our 318 00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:02,110 life, OK. He also said it's about 319 00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:04,990 partnership, which we talked about last week. 320 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,280 The Holy Spirit's job is we are Corinthians, says Second 321 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Corinthians said Co laborers with Christ. 322 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:21,040 We are in partnership also with the Holy Spirit and so we have 323 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,360 to be in partnership, meaning we have a responsibility to do 324 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:30,440 something with what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us about. 325 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:39,640 It will not happen without our consent, Without our consent And 326 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,200 everything you need as a born again believer is already within 327 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:51,120 you, is already within you. And what you're doing with the 328 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,480 help of the Holy Spirit is discovering all of those things 329 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,440 about everything in your life, everything in your life. 330 00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:06,890 The Holy Spirit knows you better than you know yourself. 331 00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:13,130 The Bible says he knows what every hair that is on your head. 332 00:27:13,690 --> 00:27:17,010 He knows you and you know what else. 333 00:27:17,130 --> 00:27:24,810 You cannot fake him out. You make him fake everybody in 334 00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:30,320 this church, You make him manipulate everybody in this 335 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,680 church. But you cannot manipulate him. 336 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,160 You cannot fake out with him.

And that new man on the inside 351 00:28:40,790 --> 00:28:44,830 is even got the word written on it. 352 00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:52,150 He said he's gonna write his law on it, so it's already in there, 353 00:28:53,830 --> 00:28:59,150 but it will do nothing and produce nothing unless we yield 354 00:29:00,870 --> 00:29:06,720 to what it is the Spirit is saying to us concerning His word 355 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,160 concerning our situation, whatever it is that's going on 356 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,520 in our life, and we're going to see this, that He is there with 357 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:21,640 us every day to guide us and direct us every day in 358 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,160 everything that we would ever need in this life of Christ. 359 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,240 Period. Period. 360 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:34,990 If you have the Holy Spirit and learn how to be led by Him every 361 00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:40,950 day of your life, you cannot fail, and you will produce what 362 00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:42,990 it is that He needs you to produce. 363 00:29:43,670 --> 00:29:46,710 Amen. But it's up to us to yield. 364 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:49,260 Amen. Hallelujah. 365 00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:52,740 It's up to us to yield. I want to read all of our 366 00:29:52,740 --> 00:29:57,820 scriptures just where we're getting a lot of this teaching 367 00:29:57,820 --> 00:30:00,620 about the Holy Spirit. And I would encourage you 368 00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:03,180 because I'm just going to continue to teach on the 369 00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:06,180 ministry of the Holy Spirit until we've just exhausted the 370 00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,100 word, Pastor said. I don't care how long it goes 371 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:13,500 because we need it. We need it. 372 00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:19,420 And so John 1416 through 17 says this. 373 00:30:19,460 --> 00:30:23,620 I'll ask the father and he will give you another helper that he 374 00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:27,860 may be with you forever. Say he's with me forever. 375 00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:34,860 The helper, the helper that means whatever you need, you 376 00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:39,620 need help. He's there in your time of need. 377 00:30:39,940 --> 00:30:46,390 Whatever it is, he is your helper, no matter what it is. 378 00:30:46,390 --> 00:30:51,150 He can help you. He can help you figure out you 379 00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:55,750 know what's going on with your leaking plumbing. 380 00:30:57,910 --> 00:31:02,030 He can help you figure out what's going on with your engine 381 00:31:02,030 --> 00:31:04,310 in your car and why it's not starting. 382 00:31:05,270 --> 00:31:08,230 He can help you figure out what's going on with your 383 00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:13,960 rebellious teenagers if you'll just listen and then not deny 384 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440 that your little baby Angel could be doing that. 385 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,480 Don't get me on parenting anyway. 386 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:34,400 There's lots of denial. I deny nothing because I know. 387 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,000 Amen. So it says the Spirit of truth, 388 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,320 whom the world cannot receive because he does not receive him 389 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,040 or know him. But you know him, say I know 390 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,640 him. Hallelujah. 391 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,400 You need to remind yourself. Now. 392 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,360 I know the Holy Spirit. He's living on the inside of me. 393 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,840 And whatever I need, he's right there to give me the direction, 394 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:06,490 the help, the guidance, whatever it is, so that I won't fail, so 395 00:32:06,490 --> 00:32:12,450 that I won't falter, but I can continue to progress in whatever 396 00:32:12,450 --> 00:32:17,130 it is that I need, it says, But you know Him because he abides 397 00:32:17,130 --> 00:32:21,810 with you and will be in you. This is only for born again 398 00:32:21,810 --> 00:32:27,330 believers, John 1426. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, 399 00:32:27,330 --> 00:32:31,330 when the Whom the Father will send in my name, he will what? 400 00:32:31,330 --> 00:32:36,910 He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all 401 00:32:36,910 --> 00:32:42,670 things that I have said. So he's gonna remind you of the 402 00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:45,070 word. He's gonna remind you of the 403 00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:47,910 things that he has already told you. 404 00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:54,150 Again, the last time I ministered, I reminded you that 405 00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:58,950 the Holy Ghost corrected me about He reminded me about 406 00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:04,120 something I had promised him. So not only is it just about, 407 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,720 he's going to remind you of what his word has said, he'll remind 408 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,080 you of what you have said because he knows what you've 409 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,280 said in the recesses of your heart. 410 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,920 He knows what you've said, what you haven't said, what you 411 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,600 vowed, what you said would never happen again to you and your 412 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,040 life, and never let anyone hurt you again like that. 413 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,660 He knows all those things and he reminded me because I told you a 414 00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:36,740 couple of weeks ago I had two calls about going and doing some 415 00:33:36,740 --> 00:33:40,220 women ministry and at one was over in Albania. 416 00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:44,620 And I'm like, Lord, I don't want to go and I'm minding my own 417 00:33:44,620 --> 00:33:49,660 business and that how he always works, you just minding your own 418 00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:51,300 business. And he said, well, I thought you 419 00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:53,620 told me you'd go. Wherever I told you to go. 420 00:33:54,730 --> 00:33:56,810 You do whatever I would tell you to do. 421 00:33:57,290 --> 00:33:59,810 You'd say whatever I told you to say. 422 00:34:00,810 --> 00:34:05,890 He reminded me, you know what I had to do at that point? 423 00:34:06,250 --> 00:34:11,050 Yield. Yield. 424 00:34:12,690 --> 00:34:16,210 Or I could be disobedient. And then what's that gonna bring 425 00:34:16,210 --> 00:34:18,770 me? Right? 426 00:34:18,770 --> 00:34:21,489 And I And I said, you're right, Lord, you're right. 427 00:34:21,489 --> 00:34:24,290 I did say that. Please forgive me. 428 00:34:27,580 --> 00:34:31,820 You see that? That's acknowledging the working 429 00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:33,739 of the Holy Spirit within your life. 430 00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:39,500 And so I wanted to read that out of the amplified. 431 00:34:39,739 --> 00:34:42,860 We've said this, and I will ask the Father, and he'll give you 432 00:34:42,860 --> 00:34:44,900 another what? Comforter. 433 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,860 That's what this word helper means when you break it out. 434 00:34:47,860 --> 00:34:51,050 In the Greek, it says helper, right. 435 00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:56,170 It means comforter, counselor, intercessor, advocate, 436 00:34:56,290 --> 00:35:00,570 strengthener and stand by. This is the working of the Holy 437 00:35:00,570 --> 00:35:04,170 Spirit as your helper. Amen. 438 00:35:05,010 --> 00:35:08,290 Hallelujah. If you need comfort, guess what? 439 00:35:08,650 --> 00:35:13,610 Asking right. If you need counsel, quit 440 00:35:13,610 --> 00:35:16,090 running. To everybody else, quit running 441 00:35:16,090 --> 00:35:22,370 to all your, you know, Instagram quotes and your Facebook people 442 00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:26,370 and your you know all your friends on your 911. 443 00:35:26,370 --> 00:35:31,050 I need a help out with a friend. Why don't you go to the helper 444 00:35:31,050 --> 00:35:35,250 first who can give you proper counsel and guess where that 445 00:35:35,250 --> 00:35:38,730 council's gonna come from? The word of God. 446 00:35:39,930 --> 00:35:43,930 He can give you proper help in your time of need. 447 00:35:45,090 --> 00:35:49,570 Amen, intercessor, advocate, strengther and stand by and 448 00:35:49,570 --> 00:35:53,730 he'll remain with you forever. John 1526, I would encourage you 449 00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:56,410 through this whole time that we're gonna be talking about the 450 00:35:56,410 --> 00:35:59,650 ministry of the Holy Spirit that y'all read chapters. 451 00:35:59,810 --> 00:36:03,170 John Chapter 14. John Chapter 15, John Chapter 452 00:36:03,170 --> 00:36:07,410 16. Read 'em and see all the 453 00:36:07,410 --> 00:36:11,250 workings of how he's talking about the Holy Spirit. 454 00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:16,500 So John 1526 says this. When the Helper comes, whom I'll 455 00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:22,300 send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth, who 456 00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:26,380 proceeds from the Father. He will testify about me. 457 00:36:26,380 --> 00:36:28,980 We talked about the fact that he is the Spirit of Truth. 458 00:36:29,180 --> 00:36:33,380 That's why you don't ever have to buy another lie, because you 459 00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:35,660 have the Spirit of Truth on the inside of you. 460 00:36:36,580 --> 00:36:41,140 Don't buy another lie. This world is full of lies. 461 00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:43,590 People will lie straight to your face. 462 00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:46,870 You don't have to buy it because the spirit of truth on the 463 00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:49,470 inside could let you know they're lying straight to your 464 00:36:49,470 --> 00:36:51,190 face. I know you don't want to hear 465 00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:54,310 that, but that's the truth. I have the spirit of Truth on 466 00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:56,630 the inside. I can do nothing but speak the 467 00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:58,870 truth. I don't lie. 468 00:37:00,110 --> 00:37:06,230 We should not be liars. And I know believers that a lie 469 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:09,910 straight to your face. That is not the working of the 470 00:37:09,910 --> 00:37:14,770 Holy Spirit. You're still listening to the 471 00:37:14,770 --> 00:37:21,370 Father of Who is the devil, and he is no longer my Father and 472 00:37:21,370 --> 00:37:23,530 has no longer authority in my life. 473 00:37:24,330 --> 00:37:26,890 Amen. So I don't speak lies. 474 00:37:27,170 --> 00:37:30,610 I only speak truth because the Spirit of truth lives on the 475 00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:32,890 inside of me. Amen. 476 00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:38,010 And truth hurts a lot of times, but it's good for you. 477 00:37:39,170 --> 00:37:42,250 It's good for you. Do you think it didn't hurt me 478 00:37:42,250 --> 00:37:45,570 when I heard the Holy Spirit? The first thing he ever talked 479 00:37:45,570 --> 00:37:49,330 to me about is that I had hatred in my heart towards my dad. 480 00:37:51,490 --> 00:37:55,170 Do you think that truth didn't slam me up against the wall? 481 00:37:56,210 --> 00:38:00,250 And think why in the world should I have to ask him to 482 00:38:00,250 --> 00:38:03,410 forgive me? He's the one that abandoned his 483 00:38:03,410 --> 00:38:05,990 post. He's the one that abandoned his 484 00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:09,630 child. He's the one that, and I went 485 00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:15,630 down the road. Why should me as a child have to 486 00:38:15,630 --> 00:38:22,750 be the responsible one? But you know what I did? 487 00:38:23,710 --> 00:38:29,150 I yielded, and I thank God that it was the very first thing that 488 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:33,140 he ever spoke to me to do. Because if I never would have 489 00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:36,540 dealt with the very route that the Holy Spirit knew would be my 490 00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:42,180 problem for the rest of my life if I didn't deal with that. 491 00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:46,900 Because he knows me better than I know myself. 492 00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:52,180 That's the working of the Holy Spirit. 493 00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:57,180 It's the working of the Holy Spirit, even though I didn't 494 00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:02,300 know it at the time. But thank God I yielded, because 495 00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:05,500 I wouldn't be where I am today if I had not. 496 00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:10,140 He wouldn't be born again today if I had not. 497 00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,940 That was a whole other story. Some have heard, some have not. 498 00:39:16,940 --> 00:39:20,620 But anyway, we've got to move on because I haven't even got to my 499 00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:27,820 point tonight. So where were we at 1526? 500 00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:33,810 I read it OK16 John 16 seven through 11. 501 00:39:33,810 --> 00:39:36,930 I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I 502 00:39:36,930 --> 00:39:40,850 go, for if I do not go, the helper will not come. 503 00:39:40,850 --> 00:39:42,410 This is Jesus. Remember? 504 00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:47,090 We talked about the fact that Jesus himself said it is to your 505 00:39:47,090 --> 00:39:50,810 advantage that I go so that the Holy Spirit may come. 506 00:39:51,090 --> 00:39:55,250 So who are all these people that believe in Jesus for salvation, 507 00:39:55,250 --> 00:39:58,330 but they don't believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit? 508 00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:04,140 When he said it's to your advantage, I go so that he can 509 00:40:04,140 --> 00:40:10,260 come, right? Because if I do not go away, the 510 00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:14,420 helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to 511 00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:17,820 you. And he when he comes, what will 512 00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:23,060 convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, judgment 513 00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:25,900 concerning sin? Because you do not believe in 514 00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:27,700 me. And concerning righteousness, 515 00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:31,380 because I go to the Father and you no longer see me. 516 00:40:31,380 --> 00:40:34,660 And the concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world 517 00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:37,700 has been judged. And we've said this, that a lot 518 00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:41,420 of people like to talk about how wonderful Jesus is. 519 00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:51,380 But the Spirit of God will still convict you of sin today, still 520 00:40:51,380 --> 00:40:57,100 convict you of sin today. Thank God He convicts us, 521 00:41:01,930 --> 00:41:06,410 because if he don't, that means you've hardened your heart. 522 00:41:08,610 --> 00:41:18,650 If you don't say any conviction ever, You know the Holy Spirit 523 00:41:18,930 --> 00:41:21,610 convicted me just in simple things. 524 00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:27,090 You know, I may be having a conversation with someone that I 525 00:41:27,090 --> 00:41:29,250 know that I can have a conversation with that can 526 00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:34,010 handle some things, but I may say something that would be not 527 00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:37,570 really out of a right heart. And you know what the Holy Ghost 528 00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:42,250 has done to me that was not out of a right spirit the way that 529 00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:48,090 you said that because it could actually lend to gossip and you 530 00:41:48,090 --> 00:41:51,610 need to go ask them to forgive you that you should not have 531 00:41:51,610 --> 00:41:56,250 said it that way. That's conviction. 532 00:41:58,460 --> 00:42:02,540 It's conviction. I mean, I cannot believe some of 533 00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:07,220 the things that I hear that people talk like corrupt 534 00:42:07,380 --> 00:42:11,580 communication that comes out of people's mouth, the gossip and 535 00:42:11,580 --> 00:42:14,500 the slander and tearing of down of people. 536 00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:18,500 And you have no conviction of that. 537 00:42:20,380 --> 00:42:28,930 As a believer, I would be concerned because we know he 538 00:42:28,930 --> 00:42:33,450 says we should not be gossiping, slandering or having corrupt 539 00:42:33,450 --> 00:42:37,930 communication. But yet there's so many 540 00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:43,090 believers that are having conversations in that manner 541 00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:51,010 with no conviction. I would be concerned about where 542 00:42:51,010 --> 00:42:59,660 your heart really is, right? Just saying so John 16 we did, 543 00:42:59,660 --> 00:43:07,220 we read that 711 OK 13 through 15, John sixteen 13315, it says. 544 00:43:07,220 --> 00:43:11,100 But when he the spirit of truth comes, he's gonna what guide you 545 00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:14,140 into all truth. For he will not speak on his own 546 00:43:14,140 --> 00:43:17,740 initiative, but whatever he hears, he will speak, and he 547 00:43:17,740 --> 00:43:20,340 will disclose to you what is to come. 548 00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:25,520 He will glorify me, and he will take of mine, and will disclose 549 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,080 it to you. All things that the Father has 550 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,920 our mind. Therefore I said that he takes 551 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,880 of mine and will disclose it to you. 552 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,600 Amen. So we can see through all of 553 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,760 these scriptures that he wants to to be our helper. 554 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,080 He wants to comfort us. The Holy Spirit teaches us. 555 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,360 The Holy Spirit reminds us of things. 556 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200 The Holy Spirit testifies of some things. 557 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,080 The Holy Spirit convicts us of some things. 558 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,680 The Holy Spirit reveals things to us to come. 559 00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:01,480 And you know what? The Holy Spirit will worship 560 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,830 with us. That's what he said. 561 00:44:05,830 --> 00:44:12,990 He'll glorify me. He'll worship with you in those 562 00:44:12,990 --> 00:44:17,590 times that the. Yeah, I I mean, I I just heard 563 00:44:17,590 --> 00:44:21,550 because he lives that that's him saying, come on, let me help you 564 00:44:21,550 --> 00:44:25,270 in this moment. If you'll just begin to sing 565 00:44:25,270 --> 00:44:33,480 this song that came up from the Spirit in that moment because he 566 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,720 lives, I can face tomorrow because I didn't want to face 567 00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:39,960 tomorrow at that time. But the Holy Ghost knew what I 568 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:46,440 needed and I just began to yield to it and worship him with it. 569 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,320 You see that? So let's move to the next thing 570 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,920 that I want us to see concerning the inner working of the Holy 571 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,170 Spirit is that first and foremost we have to realize that 572 00:44:59,170 --> 00:45:02,170 we are a spirit being. We've talked about this that 573 00:45:02,490 --> 00:45:07,490 John for for says this, that God is spirit and those who worship 574 00:45:07,490 --> 00:45:08,810 him worship him. In what? 575 00:45:09,010 --> 00:45:15,210 Spirit and truth? We have to recognize that we are 576 00:45:15,250 --> 00:45:20,530 a threefold nature, man or woman, right? 577 00:45:20,690 --> 00:45:24,780 We are spirit beings. We have a spirit, right? 578 00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:30,460 And this is how we connect with God from spirit to spirit, and 579 00:45:30,460 --> 00:45:33,780 the Holy Spirit is the one that's doing all of that 580 00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:37,740 communication. Then we have a soul realm, which 581 00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:44,460 is our mind, our will, our emotions, our reasonings, our 582 00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:47,540 questionings, all of this stuff going on. 583 00:45:47,860 --> 00:45:53,460 This is what we call the soul realm, the mind, right? 584 00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,460 And then we live in this body. We live in this body, and the 585 00:45:58,460 --> 00:46:02,220 body is where we see, which we're going to talk about in a 586 00:46:02,220 --> 00:46:07,460 little bit, That fleshly desires come from right Where we could 587 00:46:07,460 --> 00:46:11,700 be led by our feelings, we could be led by our senses. 588 00:46:11,860 --> 00:46:16,240 We could be led by our flesh in this body. 589 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:22,000 So the greatest thing we can do is to build our spirit man up. 590 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:28,440 Allow our spirit man to mature and develop and grow, to produce 591 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,280 the characteristics of the fruits of the spirit, to produce 592 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,320 the nature of God within our life so that our spirit is 593 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,360 strong and will always detonate the flesh. 594 00:46:42,950 --> 00:46:48,830 And then our spirit will be so strong that it can also help get 595 00:46:48,830 --> 00:46:53,630 our mind, our soul, our mental health, in alignment. 596 00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:58,710 This is what all this mental health stuff is. 597 00:46:59,270 --> 00:47:05,110 Their minds are out of control. The Holy Spirit, we said, was to 598 00:47:05,110 --> 00:47:09,560 be our governor. The Holy Spirit is to be our 599 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,200 guide. We were never supposed to be 600 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,800 self governed. We talked about this in Genesis. 601 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:21,520 When Adam fell, he became governed by his flesh. 602 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,160 He became governed by what he could see. 603 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:30,240 All of these things he started governing himself by covering up 604 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:35,560 and trying to hide from God, because it was the Holy Spirit 605 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,240 that was always supposed to be the one that would be governing 606 00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:46,120 our lives. OK, so we want our spirit strong 607 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:51,440 so that it can always get into agreement and then we want our 608 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,080 minds. The next thing is we know. 609 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,760 And I don't have this in my scriptures, but in Galatians or 610 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,640 James. I believe it is where he talks 611 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:07,520 about that we are to receive the ingrafted word of God which is 612 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:14,080 able to save our soul. Our spirit is born again once we 613 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,920 it is alive unto Christ once we get born again, right? 614 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,680 Our spirits alive. Our spirit is in contact with 615 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,600 God the minute we get born again. 616 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,240 But our mind, our soul, still has to be saved. 617 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,680 And how is it saved? It's saved by Romans 12/1. 618 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:36,040 And two, the renewing of our mind to the word of God. 619 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,710 So whose responsibility is that? Ours. 620 00:48:40,910 --> 00:48:44,870 We have the responsibility to pick up the Word of God and 621 00:48:44,870 --> 00:48:49,150 renew our mind. Transform our mind to the Word, 622 00:48:49,150 --> 00:48:54,070 and what the Word saying so that our Spirit and our mind can be 623 00:48:54,070 --> 00:48:58,510 in alignment so that it will always outnumber the flesh. 624 00:49:00,950 --> 00:49:04,350 Your thinking has to get into alignment with what the 625 00:49:04,350 --> 00:49:09,550 Scripture says. Your soul round your will has to 626 00:49:09,550 --> 00:49:15,270 get submitted to the word of God in everything in every area of 627 00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:18,310 your life. As Pastor was saying, you can't 628 00:49:18,310 --> 00:49:21,150 have your own thinking in the Kingdom of God. 629 00:49:21,910 --> 00:49:27,190 You can't have your own opinions in the Kingdom of God of how you 630 00:49:27,190 --> 00:49:29,750 think God should be doing something. 631 00:49:33,510 --> 00:49:36,630 And if you do, then that is proving that you're not 632 00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:41,430 submitted to his thinking. Your soul, your mind, your will, 633 00:49:41,430 --> 00:49:44,950 your emotions, all of these things have to get into 634 00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:49,550 alignment with the word of God and it can happen. 635 00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:56,070 You can do it, we can do it, period. 636 00:49:56,070 --> 00:50:02,000 You can do it. So we have to get realize that 637 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,640 we are threefold nature man, and that they we are the temple of 638 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,960 the Spirit of God. Look at this scripture in First 639 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,120 Corinthians 316. Do you not know that you are the 640 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:18,160 temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 641 00:50:19,230 --> 00:50:22,990 You are the temple and if you keep reading on Corinthians, 642 00:50:22,990 --> 00:50:26,870 just concerning about being the temple and having the spirit of 643 00:50:26,870 --> 00:50:30,070 God living on, he actually talks about do you think you could 644 00:50:30,070 --> 00:50:34,840 sleep with a prostitute and he'll not know it because he's 645 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,560 right there with you? If he's dwelling on the inside 646 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,880 of you, do you think he's not in that bedroom when you're 647 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,040 committing adultery? He's right there with you at the 648 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,320 board. Again, Believer doing that 649 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,720 stuff. The Holy Ghost is right there 650 00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:58,800 and we're not yielding. He's right there in the room 651 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,850 with you watching pornography. Come on. 652 00:51:03,850 --> 00:51:06,570 He's right there in the room with you here in every 653 00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:10,010 slanderous thing you're talking about your brother or your 654 00:51:10,010 --> 00:51:13,290 sister or the pastors or the whatever. 655 00:51:13,290 --> 00:51:16,170 He's right there hearing it. And guess what? 656 00:51:16,210 --> 00:51:20,570 We know he's grieved. We talked about that in our 657 00:51:20,570 --> 00:51:23,450 earlier lessons. He's grieved. 658 00:51:24,490 --> 00:51:28,750 Right. So he's dwelling on the inside 659 00:51:28,750 --> 00:51:31,350 of us. We have the Spirit of God 660 00:51:31,350 --> 00:51:34,470 dwelling on the inside of us. And I have to go through all of 661 00:51:34,470 --> 00:51:37,190 these basic things that may be basic to you. 662 00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:40,830 And you've heard before, because we have a whole slew of new 663 00:51:40,830 --> 00:51:44,070 people that have never heard these things. 664 00:51:44,270 --> 00:51:47,390 And you can sit there and and reject. 665 00:51:48,190 --> 00:51:51,270 Come on. And I don't care how long you've 666 00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:54,630 been here. And you're in the more dangerous 667 00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:59,590 spot, actually, if you haven't kept your life in keeping with 668 00:51:59,910 --> 00:52:08,310 yielding to the Spirit of God. So Ephesians 113 through 14 says 669 00:52:08,310 --> 00:52:11,590 this in him you also, after listening to the message of 670 00:52:11,590 --> 00:52:16,590 truth, the gospel of your salvation, having also believed 671 00:52:16,590 --> 00:52:22,270 you were sealed with him. The Holy Spirit of promise, who 672 00:52:22,270 --> 00:52:26,630 is given as a pledge of an inheritance, this is part of 673 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:30,990 your inheritance. The seal of the Spirit say I'm 674 00:52:30,990 --> 00:52:37,180 sealed. You're sealed with the Spirit of 675 00:52:37,180 --> 00:52:46,020 God living on the inside of you. And we must not take for granted 676 00:52:46,540 --> 00:52:49,020 and we must not harden ourselves. 677 00:52:49,020 --> 00:52:54,060 And we must not not yield to what the Holy Ghost is saying to 678 00:52:54,060 --> 00:52:59,180 you on the inside. Because we said we read all the 679 00:52:59,180 --> 00:53:03,220 Scriptures where you can reject and deny the Holy Spirit's 680 00:53:03,220 --> 00:53:05,340 working in your life. That's what we're saying. 681 00:53:05,580 --> 00:53:11,100 He can do nothing for you unless you yield and submit and 682 00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:15,300 actually do what it is you're hearing him say to do. 683 00:53:16,460 --> 00:53:21,500 And there's so many people that sit and reject the working of 684 00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:26,540 the inner man of and the working of the Holy Spirit within us. 685 00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:33,370 1st Thessalonians 523 says this. Now may the God of peace Himself 686 00:53:33,370 --> 00:53:39,770 sanctify you entirely. He wants you sanctified, 687 00:53:39,770 --> 00:53:43,130 entirely holy. That's what that word means. 688 00:53:43,130 --> 00:53:50,310 Sanctified, set apart, holy, consecrated before God right 689 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:56,830 entirely, and your that your spirit, your soul, and your body 690 00:53:56,830 --> 00:54:01,790 be preserved, complete without blame, at the coming of the 691 00:54:01,790 --> 00:54:08,030 Lord. He wants you entirely complete, 692 00:54:08,350 --> 00:54:15,150 whole, sanctified, every part of your being, spirit, soul, and 693 00:54:15,150 --> 00:54:21,860 body until His return. And we are the ones responsible 694 00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:28,100 to keep ourselves up underneath the word of God and yielding to 695 00:54:28,100 --> 00:54:31,300 the Spirit of God on the inside of us to do it. 696 00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:35,940 I'm going to continue to harp on that because we can sit in these 697 00:54:35,940 --> 00:54:40,340 churches, in every church in the United States and hear the word 698 00:54:40,340 --> 00:54:46,380 of God and let it be a religious exercise and never once yield to 699 00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:48,620 what we're hearing him tell us to do. 700 00:54:50,580 --> 00:54:54,260 And this is not growing you, this is not maturing you, this 701 00:54:54,260 --> 00:54:58,020 is not equipping you, and you will not stand in the day of the 702 00:54:58,020 --> 00:55:00,460 hour. I'm telling you, you won't 703 00:55:00,460 --> 00:55:03,740 stand. You won't stand in these last 704 00:55:03,740 --> 00:55:07,980 days when you're confronted with some last day things. 705 00:55:09,570 --> 00:55:20,130 Because if you can't yield to it now, when it's easy, you won't 706 00:55:20,130 --> 00:55:22,770 yield to it then when it gets hard. 707 00:55:23,090 --> 00:55:27,090 And not only that, if you're not yielding to it, now every little 708 00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:30,570 time is hardening and hardening and hardening and hardening and 709 00:55:30,570 --> 00:55:34,530 hardening and hardening, until before long you know what the 710 00:55:34,530 --> 00:55:40,340 Holy Spirit will be so grieved that he will not even speak to 711 00:55:40,340 --> 00:55:48,060 you anymore, right? He won't speak to you anymore 712 00:55:48,060 --> 00:55:52,060 about it. And that wouldn't be a very good 713 00:55:52,060 --> 00:55:56,220 place to be, Hebrews 412. For the word of God is living in 714 00:55:56,220 --> 00:56:01,540 active and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing far as the 715 00:56:01,540 --> 00:56:06,300 division of your soul, your spirit, and both joints and 716 00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:07,500 marrow. Which is what? 717 00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:13,980 The body and able to judge what the thoughts and the intentions 718 00:56:14,060 --> 00:56:21,380 of the heart. So the word of God, through the 719 00:56:21,380 --> 00:56:26,180 revelation of the Spirit of God is able to go into all three 720 00:56:26,180 --> 00:56:33,940 areas of your life, spirit, soul and body, even down to your 721 00:56:33,940 --> 00:56:38,930 thoughts where you know, as I said, the Holy Ghost, you know, 722 00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:43,410 convicted me and corrected me. When he's when when you know I 723 00:56:43,410 --> 00:56:47,250 was in a conversation with someone and he knew my spirit or 724 00:56:47,250 --> 00:56:52,410 my tone in the way that I said that wasn't at the right heart 725 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,720 and that I needed to go and ask for forgiveness and say, you 726 00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:00,760 know what, I shouldn't have said that that way please forgive me. 727 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,280 And they would have said, Oh no, no problem. 728 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,280 I didn't take it that way. You may not have taken it that 729 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,480 way but I know the Holy Ghost was get you know, I was giving 730 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,440 it that way because of the Holy Ghost. 731 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,160 You see what I'm saying down to the very intentions of one's 732 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,680 heart, your intention. What is your intention in the 733 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:28,070 situations that you're in? What's your intent? 734 00:57:28,430 --> 00:57:30,510 Oh, I didn't mean to text them like that. 735 00:57:30,830 --> 00:57:34,950 Oh, really? Oh, I didn't mean to say it like 736 00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:35,990 that. Oh, really? 737 00:57:36,550 --> 00:57:40,750 What was your intention? The Holy Ghost knows, and he's 738 00:57:40,750 --> 00:57:46,030 very interested. He's very interested in the very 739 00:57:46,030 --> 00:57:49,910 intentions of one's heart, the very thoughts that's going on in 740 00:57:49,910 --> 00:57:54,180 your mind. I remember years ago because 741 00:57:54,180 --> 00:57:57,460 we've had Kingdom Institute going for years and years and 742 00:57:57,460 --> 00:58:03,420 years Now I don't even know how many years and over 10 years, 743 00:58:03,420 --> 00:58:07,580 maybe 15. And I was writing the curriculum 744 00:58:09,380 --> 00:58:13,260 and teaching one year on Agape Love because that was the class 745 00:58:13,260 --> 00:58:16,020 that I've been given and taught for years on Agape Love. 746 00:58:16,890 --> 00:58:21,330 And as I was teaching one year and going through all the same 747 00:58:21,330 --> 00:58:25,050 scriptures and meditating, getting ready for class, you 748 00:58:25,050 --> 00:58:26,330 know, the Holy Ghost spoke to me. 749 00:58:26,330 --> 00:58:29,010 And he said, you know what? You've really walked in love 750 00:58:29,130 --> 00:58:32,650 with a lot of people through the years. 751 00:58:33,570 --> 00:58:37,330 You know, I could get on a little bandwagon right here, 752 00:58:37,530 --> 00:58:41,690 because if anybody should be church hurt, I should be 753 00:58:48,500 --> 00:58:51,220 everybody. It's always these other all the 754 00:58:51,220 --> 00:58:53,140 sheep that talk about church hurt. 755 00:58:53,140 --> 00:58:56,460 What about the church hurt that comes to pastors and their 756 00:58:56,460 --> 00:59:01,580 families? All right, I'll get off that 757 00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:05,820 because I could really go down this road, but I got to make 758 00:59:05,820 --> 00:59:13,390 sure my intentions of my heart is really right anyway, you 759 00:59:13,390 --> 00:59:15,190 know? So I'm going through this class 760 00:59:15,230 --> 00:59:18,110 preparing to get ready to teach on Agape love. 761 00:59:18,110 --> 00:59:21,630 And the Holy Ghost said to me, you've done really well at 762 00:59:21,630 --> 00:59:25,470 walking in love. You told me that you've done 763 00:59:25,470 --> 00:59:28,950 really well at walking in love. You've forgiven people that 764 00:59:28,950 --> 00:59:31,910 have, you know, And he reminded me of all the things I've 765 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:36,190 forgiven and let go and could have taken offense to. 766 00:59:38,350 --> 00:59:41,710 And everybody thinks y'all are the only ones that can get 767 00:59:41,710 --> 00:59:47,610 offended. So anyway, he says. 768 00:59:47,610 --> 00:59:51,850 But, and you're doing it, and you've been doing it. 769 00:59:53,130 --> 00:59:55,210 But you know what? I want to deal with you now 770 00:59:55,210 --> 00:59:58,850 about with walking in love or walking in agape love. 771 00:59:59,690 --> 01:00:05,450 I want to deal with your thoughts because you've kept 772 01:00:05,450 --> 01:00:10,410 your spirit pure and you've forgiven from the heart. 773 01:00:11,060 --> 01:00:14,900 But I want to start dealing with your thoughts now concerning 774 01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:18,900 love. What is the intention of your 775 01:00:19,060 --> 01:00:21,540 thought when it comes to that person? 776 01:00:22,220 --> 01:00:24,780 Is it a thought of believing the best? 777 01:00:25,460 --> 01:00:31,220 Is it a thought of agape love? Is it a thought of how I would 778 01:00:31,220 --> 01:00:36,780 think about those people? What's he's doing, taking me to 779 01:00:36,780 --> 01:00:41,530 another area of my life, now into the soul realm. 780 01:00:45,210 --> 01:00:51,210 So this is continual, A continual process of the Holy 781 01:00:51,210 --> 01:00:55,810 Spirit working within your life, maturing you, growing you, 782 01:00:55,810 --> 01:01:02,810 developing character, developing his nature within you in every 783 01:01:02,810 --> 01:01:06,810 area of your life. And don't think he don't deal 784 01:01:06,810 --> 01:01:11,070 with the body. What are you eating? 785 01:01:12,030 --> 01:01:16,790 You're being a glutton. He talks about these things, but 786 01:01:16,790 --> 01:01:22,750 no churches do. What are you doing to your body? 787 01:01:22,750 --> 01:01:24,230 This is the temple of the Holy Ghost. 788 01:01:24,230 --> 01:01:29,230 How are you taking care of it? Right? 789 01:01:29,990 --> 01:01:36,610 All of these things. Is the Holy Spirit developing us 790 01:01:36,610 --> 01:01:41,010 and to who God has created us to be as His citizens in the 791 01:01:41,010 --> 01:01:44,690 Kingdom of God? As I said, the more morals, 792 01:01:44,690 --> 01:01:50,170 behaviors, lifestyles, all of these things have to do with Him 793 01:01:50,170 --> 01:01:55,970 wanting to produce within us everything that He sees within 794 01:01:55,970 --> 01:02:04,610 you and the best that you can be and who He made you to be from. 795 01:02:04,610 --> 01:02:06,790 Everything. Amen. 796 01:02:08,150 --> 01:02:14,110 Everything within your life. Let me read a couple of 797 01:02:14,110 --> 01:02:17,350 scriptures I totally didn't even get to anywhere I wanted to go. 798 01:02:17,510 --> 01:02:22,430 So First Corinthians 617 will it says this. 799 01:02:23,230 --> 01:02:28,110 But he who is joined to the Lord is 1 Spirit. 800 01:02:28,110 --> 01:02:35,520 With Him we are joined. With Him, we are one Spirit. 801 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:45,560 With Him we are connected and one we know. 802 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,200 We're a part of the body. We are one. 803 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:55,480 All of us are one. We are all connected as the body 804 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,200 of Christ, but not only as the body of Christ. 805 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:07,740 We are all connected with Him. We are one spirit with Him, and 806 01:03:07,740 --> 01:03:12,820 we have to learn that the working of the Spirit of God is 807 01:03:12,940 --> 01:03:18,820 always moving in our hearts within us, doing it inner work 808 01:03:18,820 --> 01:03:26,860 within us to develop us, to be all in one with Him. 809 01:03:29,020 --> 01:03:37,010 It actually means oneness. Oneness with Him to where we 810 01:03:37,010 --> 01:03:39,890 are. So one with him. 811 01:03:40,290 --> 01:03:46,530 It is naturally just we've we've developed in this oneness with 812 01:03:46,530 --> 01:03:49,930 Him and the Holy Spirit working in our life that it's just so 813 01:03:49,930 --> 01:03:53,290 naturally to move and yield because we've done it now 814 01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:57,450 through this process and this journey with our walk with 815 01:03:57,450 --> 01:04:00,050 Christ. Oh, he said this. 816 01:04:00,050 --> 01:04:02,450 Yeah, I know. I need to be led right over 817 01:04:02,450 --> 01:04:04,770 there.

And you're yielding. 820 01:04:09,890 --> 01:04:14,170 And and we're growing and walking with him through every 821 01:04:14,170 --> 01:04:17,770 season of our life, through everything that he's asking us 822 01:04:17,770 --> 01:04:20,970 to do, through everything that we are. 823 01:04:22,210 --> 01:04:28,740 A mother, employer, a serve as one that would want to serve in 824 01:04:28,740 --> 01:04:35,060 the Kingdom, whatever it is, Every aspect of our life, he 825 01:04:35,060 --> 01:04:40,860 wants to be one with us yielded to him so that he can navigate 826 01:04:40,860 --> 01:04:47,140 us through our everyday life. Raising our children, being a a 827 01:04:47,140 --> 01:04:51,140 mother, being a wife. All of these things. 828 01:04:51,580 --> 01:04:58,180 The Holy Spirit can work in you to develop you into the godly 829 01:04:58,180 --> 01:05:00,980 woman that fears the Lord, right? 830 01:05:01,140 --> 01:05:03,940 The one that is the servant of the Lord. 831 01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:07,700 Whatever that call may be, whatever the plans may be for 832 01:05:07,700 --> 01:05:14,460 your life, everywhere you go you should be rising to the top. 833 01:05:17,730 --> 01:05:24,090 If you have been yielding to and submitting to God through your 834 01:05:24,090 --> 01:05:30,010 life, it should just be a continual process and progress 835 01:05:30,010 --> 01:05:35,170 with the Lord bringing you into places, new things, developing 836 01:05:35,170 --> 01:05:38,050 you to do things that you never thought you would be doing. 837 01:05:41,210 --> 01:05:43,930 Amen. Hallelujah. 838 01:05:44,130 --> 01:05:50,810 It's an exciting journey, but you have to learn how to yield. 839 01:05:51,690 --> 01:05:57,850 Every day, every single day, I'll read the last scripture and 840 01:05:57,850 --> 01:06:03,410 we'll get to this. It says this, and I want to read 841 01:06:03,410 --> 01:06:06,170 Galatians. I have several scriptures, but I 842 01:06:06,170 --> 01:06:08,210 want to go. We'll come back to those next 843 01:06:08,210 --> 01:06:11,290 week. Every day, Galatians, we're 844 01:06:11,290 --> 01:06:15,050 going to close with just reading several scriptures, Galatians 845 01:06:15,050 --> 01:06:20,130 516 through 25. But I say, and I'm going to read 846 01:06:20,130 --> 01:06:26,130 out of the Amplified Walk and live habitually in the Holy 847 01:06:26,130 --> 01:06:32,850 Spirit, responsive to, controlled and guided by the 848 01:06:32,850 --> 01:06:35,290 Spirit. Oh, I'm not controlled by 849 01:06:35,330 --> 01:06:37,330 anything. You better want to be controlled 850 01:06:37,330 --> 01:06:40,410 by the Holy Spirit, because if you're not controlled by the 851 01:06:40,410 --> 01:06:43,850 Holy Spirit, you're controlled by another Spirit or your flesh, 852 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,600 it says. Then you will certainly not 853 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,440 gratify the cravings and the desires of the flesh of the 854 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:59,490 human nature without God. For the desire of the flesh are 855 01:06:59,490 --> 01:07:03,810 opposed to the Holy Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are 856 01:07:03,810 --> 01:07:07,890 opposed to the flesh, godless human nature. 857 01:07:08,250 --> 01:07:12,890 For these are antagonists to each other, continually 858 01:07:12,890 --> 01:07:17,330 withstanding and in conflict with each other, so that you are 859 01:07:17,330 --> 01:07:22,410 not free, but are prevented from doing what you desire to do. 860 01:07:22,690 --> 01:07:29,190 But if you are guided, say, guided, led by the Holy Spirit, 861 01:07:29,470 --> 01:07:36,870 you are not subject to the law. Now the doings and practices of 862 01:07:36,870 --> 01:07:43,470 the flesh are clear and obvious. Very clear and obvious. 863 01:07:44,790 --> 01:07:49,390 They are immorality and purity and indecency, idolatry, 864 01:07:49,390 --> 01:07:53,830 sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, ill temper, 865 01:07:53,830 --> 01:07:58,900 selfishness, divisions, dissensions, party spirit, 866 01:07:58,900 --> 01:08:02,820 factions, sex with peculiar not sex, but sex. 867 01:08:02,820 --> 01:08:07,980 But you know, it did cover sex earlier, with peculiar opinions 868 01:08:07,980 --> 01:08:09,860 and heresies.
