00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Thanks for checking out the 
Anchor Faith Message podcast 

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,920
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:16,920
Now enjoy this message. 
Well, you know, it is February 

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,120
and I thought it was really cool
how God just orchestrated this. 

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,600
I didn't know that it would be 
time for me to minister. 

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,880
I knew I was going to at some 
point. 

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,440
But anyway, with February I 
thought it was interesting. 

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,160
Lord, you are so good. 
Because remember the last time I

9
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:39,520
ministered, we talked about how 
to maintain a what reigning 

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,120
spirit. 
How to maintain a reigning 

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,240
spirit. 
And I got through the first 

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,040
point, but I never got to the 
second point. 

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,080
And the second point is all 
about the love of God. 

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,320
It's all about the love of God. 
So, you know, it is Valentine's 

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,920
season, but we want to call it 
agape season right? 

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,320
As believers. 
Because this is all agape is. 

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Who got it? 
It is his love and it is all 

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,200
about him. 
Let's make this month all about 

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,040
him. 
Amen. 

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Let's just pour out some love on
him more than you've ever done. 

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,400
How about that? 
You know, you think about, you 

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,680
know, getting so and so flowers,
or you know, candy and all these

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,400
things. 
But how about let's just pour 

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,920
out some love on him this month 
and just really tell him how 

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,840
much you love him and spend some
extra time with him because he 

26
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,120
is our beloved and we are his. 
Amen. 

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,320
Hallelujah. 
But anyway, so we started on 

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,680
talking about how to maintain a 
reigning spirit. 

29
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,680
And so it's been a few weeks. 
So I just want to refresh your 

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,680
memory on what we talked about. 
Really, it was coming from 

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Romans chapter 5 and verse 17. 
Maybe I should pray Father, we 

32
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
just thank you for this night. 
We thank you for your word. 

33
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,160
We thank you for your word that 
it is alive, it is active, it is

34
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,000
sharper than any two edged 
sword. 

35
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,560
And we thank you Father. 
It's able to penetrate all the 

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680
places within our lives that it 
needs to penetrate. 

37
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,880
And so we receive your word 
tonight, the engrafted word of 

38
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640
God, which is able to save our 
soul. 

39
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:35,080
We receive it in the name of 
Jesus. 

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Amen. 
Say I receive it. 

41
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,240
And so we know Pastor started 
ministering at the first of the 

42
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,440
year about the reigning spirit 
coming out of Romans 517. 

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Well, actually you know First 
Timothy, but one of his other 

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,320
references was Romans 517. 
For if by the transgression of 

45
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,960
one death reign through the one 
much more, those who receive the

46
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,040
abundance of grace and the gift 
of righteousness will what reign

47
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,840
in life. 
Do you know he wants us to reign

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,280
in this life? 
He does not want us as believers

49
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,480
to be beat down, broken, barely 
making it, barely surviving. 

50
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Come on anxious, driven, 
stressed. 

51
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Out blowing our minds, crazy 
people. 

52
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400
He wants us to reign in this 
life. 

53
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,800
He wants us to be able to 
overcome any situation that this

54
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,080
life. 
Would bring to us Amen, or 

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,480
whatever circumstance would come
our way that we would be, as 

56
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880
believers, able to reign over 
it. 

57
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,520
What does? 
That mean be able to overcome 

58
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,120
and get the victory in the midst
of whatever's going on. 

59
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,800
Hallelujah, He. 
Wants us to reign. 

60
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,240
We have say we have a reigning 
spirit. 

61
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,400
If we are believers, then we 
have a reigning spirit. 

62
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,000
And we have to. 
You know what? 

63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,200
We have to remind ourselves 
that. 

64
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,200
We have to speak that to 
ourselves. 

65
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,360
We have to tell ourselves self. 
Let me tell you what you. 

66
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Are a victor in this situation. 
You have to tell yourself that, 

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,560
because everything else is 
telling and speaking the 

68
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,320
opposite of. 
The. 

69
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Truth of the truth. 
Remember, we started talking 

70
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,600
about this. 
Everything is speaking the 

71
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,880
opposite of what truth is, and 
the truth is greater. 

72
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Is he that is in me than he that
is in this world. 

73
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Amen. 
That's the truth. 

74
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,080
And we have to remind ourselves 
of that. 

75
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,720
We have to speak out over 
ourselves all the time, every 

76
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,080
day. 
We have to start bringing forth 

77
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,480
the Word. 
Of God and speaking it out of 

78
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,560
our mouth. 
Amen. 

79
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,200
So that we can remind ourselves.
Wait a minute, I'm a reigning 

80
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960
bean. 
Amen. 

81
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400
I'm not a mere man. 
I'm not a natural man anymore. 

82
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,560
I'm a supernatural being. 
Come on with a supernatural God.

83
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Come on living on the inside of 
me, and I'm going to reign. 

84
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,440
And no matter what situation or 
circumstance, that comes my way.

85
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Amen. 
You have to tell yourself that. 

86
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,000
And so he says this, The gift of
righteousness will reign in life

87
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,440
through the one Jesus Christ. 
And we know that we can't do it 

88
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,280
without him. 
We cannot reign in this life 

89
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,160
without him without the help of 
the Holy Ghost. 

90
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Amen. 
We can't do it. 

91
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,480
And we'll end up acting and 
living a defeated life just like

92
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680
everybody else in the world that
doesn't know Jesus. 

93
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,800
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

94
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,560
But we have to be determined 
that we're going to reign no 

95
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,960
matter what the situation is and
we're going to overcome. 

96
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:29,400
Because he says we can say he 
says I can't, He says I can 

97
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,600
right? 
Hallelujah. 

98
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,840
Anyway. 
But last time I ministered, I 

99
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:40,640
came out of First John Four one 
through 21. 

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,040
Which pastor did reference this 
when he was teaching at the 

101
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,400
beginning of the year? 
But I want to read that again to

102
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,680
you just to refresh your memory.
First, John Four one through 21.

103
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,040
It says Beloved, do not believe 
every spirit. 

104
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,320
But what but test the Spirit to 
see whether they are from God? 

105
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,280
Because many false prophets have
gone into the world. 

106
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,120
And by this you know that you 
know the Spirit of God. 

107
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Every spirit that confesses that
Jesus Christ has come in the 

108
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,560
flesh and is from God, and every
spirit that does not confess 

109
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Jesus, is not from God. 
This is the Spirit of the 

110
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Antichrist of which you have 
heard that is coming and now it 

111
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,720
is already in the world. 
You are from God, little 

112
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,760
children say I'm from God and 
have overcome them. 

113
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Here's the Scripture. 
What's it say? 

114
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Because greater is he who is in 
you than he that is in the 

115
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,760
world. 
They are from the world. 

116
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,320
Therefore they will speak as 
from the world. 

117
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
And the world listens to them. 
Right? 

118
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,040
What does the world listen to? 
All these spirits, right. 

119
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,800
We know First Timothy says in 
the last days, right. 

120
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,520
Many are going to fall away 
listening, say, listening. 

121
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,480
They're going to have their ear 
attentive to seducing spirits, 

122
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,920
doctrines of demons, all kinds 
of false teaching, false 

123
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,240
prophets, those that, you know 
act like they're going to tickle

124
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,240
their ear or be the people that 
they want to hear from all 

125
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,000
along. 
They're going to deceive them 

126
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
and seduce them and get them off
track, right? 

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,159
And so we are saying, listen, if
we're going to have a reigning 

128
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,400
spirit and if we're going to be 
able to maintain that rent 

129
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760
reigning spirit, then we're 
going to have to know the 

130
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,520
difference. 
And we said this last time that 

131
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,800
the only way we're going to know
the difference between the true 

132
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,560
is through the spirit of truth, 
right, through the spirit of 

133
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,360
truth. 
But let's keep reading, he says.

134
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,960
Therefore they speak as the 
world and they listen to them. 

135
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,920
We are from God, who knows God 
and listens to us. 

136
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,000
He who is not from God does not 
listen to us. 

137
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:18,480
By this we will know the Spirit 
of what truth and the Spirit of 

138
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,560
error, right? 
The spirit of truth and the 

139
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,440
spirit of error. 
And so we have to recognize that

140
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,920
if we are going to maintain that
reigning spirit, we must know 

141
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,560
truth. 
We must know truth. 

142
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,640
We must know truth because we're
seeing in this very hour that we

143
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,720
are living, that many people are
trying to what? 

144
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Rewrite the truth. 
Change the truth. 

145
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,160
They're trying to rewrite it and
change it. 

146
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,200
And so if you don't know any 
better, you know you'll start 

147
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,080
believing the lie that they are 
saying. 

148
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,000
Right. 
That it's OK to be married to 

149
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,480
the same sex, right? 
These are the lies that are 

150
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,920
perpetuating. 
And it's so sad that we've seen 

151
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,320
whole denominations take on 
those thought processes and 

152
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,480
beginning to change their whole 
doctrine. 

153
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,440
It's happening. 
Right before our eyes, we are 

154
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,040
standing in a time that we are 
seeing the very things that 

155
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Scripture has said from the 
beginning that would. 

156
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Happen. 
And we're seeing it and people 

157
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,640
just getting sucked into it and 
drawn into it, right? 

158
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Seduced by it in many multiple 
ways. 

159
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,800
But the bottom line is, it's the
reason why is because they are 

160
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,160
not staying with truth. 
They're not staying with truth. 

161
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:18,360
I'm telling you, everyone of you
better have a Bible, a hard copy

162
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,240
of a Bible. 
You need to get one now because 

163
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,640
I already know there are Bibles 
that have literally been 

164
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,640
changed, like the NIV I first 
learned 32 years ago. 

165
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Really. 
That was the first Bible that I 

166
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,040
had and started reading out of. 
But I no longer read the NIV any

167
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,560
longer because I know they have 
changed the verbiage and the 

168
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:46,800
words in the NIV so that it 
would not offend homosexuality. 

169
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,320
So I wouldn't. 
Buy one of those today. 

170
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Make sure you find 1 from 32 
years. 

171
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,600
Ago. 
I don't know. 

172
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,200
Right. 
But this is the these are the 

173
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:05,080
things that we're talking about.
So how did they get so seduced 

174
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,440
to be able to actually, whoever 
publishes the NIV begin to 

175
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:17,880
change it? 
So y'all better have a hard copy

176
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,320
because I'm going to tell you we
don't know what's going to 

177
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,560
happen with all these 
electronics. 

178
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,360
I'm not conspiracy theory. 
All I know is I'm going to have 

179
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,000
several card copies of the 
written word of God that has 

180
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,680
lasted and stood from the from 
the beginning of time. 

181
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,240
Amen. 
Because no one's going to be 

182
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,680
able to talk me out of what I 
know this book says. 

183
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Because I know truth. 
Because it is written in my 

184
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,680
heart. 
Because I've hid it in my heart.

185
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,560
Amen. 
And we must be people that begin

186
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:07,120
to do that within our lives, so 
that we don't buy the lies of 

187
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,680
what we're hearing in the world 
and we are not going to be 

188
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,280
seduced into taking up the 
causes that we hear that's 

189
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,800
happening in the world. 
Amen. 

190
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880
Hallelujah. 
So we talked about last time 

191
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,400
that we must know the spirit of 
truth. 

192
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,840
That was the first point that we
talked about. 

193
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,680
And we said that the Spirit of 
truth can only be found by the 

194
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:40,560
Holy Spirit who what? 
Who's living on the inside of 

195
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,280
every believer. 
If you are not born again, you 

196
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,280
do not have the Spirit of truth 
living on the inside of you. 

197
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,000
So guess what? 
You will by the lies of the 

198
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,040
world, you will listen to the 
world, he just said. 

199
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,520
The world will receive their 
own. 

200
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,320
You'll listen to what the world 
is, The doctrines of the world, 

201
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,040
right? 
Because you won't. 

202
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,960
You don't have the spirit of 
truth. 

203
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,080
But guess what? 
Anybody in here who has never 

204
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720
called on the name of the Lord 
tonight, you can do it. 

205
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,040
And guess who will move in? 
The Spirit of truth, so that you

206
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,000
don't have to buy another lie. 
From the enemy. 

207
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,040
You won't have to buy another 
lie of this world. 

208
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,240
Amen. 
So in order to know the spirit 

209
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,960
of truth, we said what last time
That we have to be people of the

210
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,080
Word. 
We're going to have to hide the 

211
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,520
word of God in our heart. 
We're going to have to know him.

212
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,440
We're going to have to know the 
Word, right? 

213
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,000
We're going to have to know His 
voice. 

214
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,040
And he said the sheep will hear 
the shepherd's voice and what no

215
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,720
other they will follow. 
The only way you're going to 

216
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,560
know the shepherd's voice is if 
you've put the word of God 

217
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,760
within your life. 
Amen. 

218
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:06,880
So that then you know what his 
voice sounds like, so that you 

219
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,280
don't listen to any other voice 
trying to tell you that God is 

220
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,840
that, that God is love, and love
is love and and he loves 

221
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,680
everything. 
So you won't buy that lie, 

222
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480
because you'll know what he 
hates and what he does love, 

223
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,400
right? 
So. 

224
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:35,360
And it's important that we not 
only hide the word in a in our 

225
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,240
hearts and know the truth so 
that we can recognize his voice 

226
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,960
and understand his ways and and 
the way that he operates, but 

227
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,800
it's also very important that we
recognize. 

228
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Listen guys, we have to be 
people that are receiving truth.

229
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Come on, we don't ever want to 
be putting ourselves in a 

230
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,520
position that we're opposing 
truth that we're hearing. 

231
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,880
So that means when something's 
being brought forth by the 

232
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,160
spirit of truth or the word of 
God, that our first response 

233
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,440
should be, I'm going to receive 
that even though I may not. 

234
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Some things may, you know, be 
difficult for me and I may not 

235
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320
understand everything. 
But I know this. 

236
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,360
This is truth, and I'm going to 
receive it. 

237
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160
I'm not going to push back on 
it. 

238
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:41,200
I'm not going to oppose it. 
Because if you start opposing 

239
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,520
truth that you're hearing, then 
guess what? 

240
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,840
You're going to start hardening 
yourself to the truth, and that 

241
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,320
is going to be a way that the 
enemy can get into you because 

242
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880
you're he's going to say, well, 
see, you really don't believe 

243
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,880
that. 
You know, when they said that 

244
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,960
you did. 
You ought to be a person that if

245
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,160
the word of God says it, I 
believe it. 

246
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,920
That settles it. 
That's it. 

247
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,079
That ought to be what it is that
you say. 

248
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:18,839
And then even if you maybe don't
understand it all, or have the 

249
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,319
wisdom of it all, or have the 
knowledge of it all, you should 

250
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:27,079
be a person that says that's OK.
I'm not going to resist it. 

251
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:32,520
What I'm going to do is begin to
discover it and dive into it and

252
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,040
study it so that what then it 
can continue to what? 

253
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:43,680
Strengthen the truth within me. 
Amen. 

254
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:50,000
And that has to do with even 
when another believer maybe 

255
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,240
speaks the truth to you, you 
don't want to be in opposition 

256
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
of it. 
You need to be a person that 

257
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,760
says, I hear what you're saying,
I receive the truth and I'm 

258
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,920
going to take it, pray it out, 
study it out. 

259
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Not why I don't. 
I don't know that I actually 

260
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,600
believe that when someone's 
trying to speak the words of 

261
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,200
life to you, right, You don't 
want to be resistant in any way 

262
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,120
to truth, so that it would 
harden us to truth. 

263
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,120
I don't want anything that would
be in my way from truth being 

264
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,680
revealed because truth is 
revealed. 

265
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,400
So I don't want to put any 
roadblocks, so to speak, within 

266
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,680
my heart or within my life that 
would oppose truth in any way. 

267
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:51,600
I would say just like with the 
Holy Spirit, you know, growing 

268
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,040
up, we weren't filled with the 
Holy Ghost and you've heard 

269
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,400
Pastor's testimony. 
He wasn't filled with the Holy 

270
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,680
Ghost. 
But you know what he said when 

271
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,920
he started hearing about the 
Holy Ghost? 

272
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,000
He said if it's in the Word 
about what was he not doing, he 

273
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,680
wasn't resisting. 
You see what I'm saying? 

274
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,800
He wasn't resisting that this 
could be truth. 

275
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,720
So what am I going to do? 
I'm going to begin to study it 

276
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,800
out for myself and see if it is 
so and the spirit of truth then 

277
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,320
can continue to do what the 
spirit of truth does. 

278
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

279
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:39,640
So it's important that we as 
believers always have our ear 

280
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,680
attentive to truth, because then
that's going to protect us from 

281
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:50,520
ever buying a lie. 
It's going to protect us. 

282
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:58,440
So have your ear always turn 
towards truth, no matter what. 

283
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Amen. 
No matter what, even if we don't

284
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,920
understand it fully, my ear is 
still attentive to this truth 

285
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,200
and I'm going to study it out. 
I'm not going to be resistant in

286
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,440
any way because it could be 
truth and I don't want to resist

287
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,520
truth in any form or fashion. 
Amen. 

288
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,080
So. 
We talked about the only way 

289
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,960
that you're going to continue to
know His voice is that if we 

290
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,600
abide in truth. 
And we talked about abiding in 

291
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:34,160
His word, abiding in the the 
truth of God's word and the 

292
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,880
Spirit of truth, living on the 
inside of you. 

293
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,320
And that's why he said you are 
of God, Why are you of God? 

294
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,000
You have the. 
Spirit of Truth. 

295
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,360
Within you now. 
So you can know the difference 

296
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:52,200
between the spirit of truth and 
the spirit of error, right? 

297
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,760
Say thank God. 
For the spirit of. 

298
00:20:53,760 --> 00:21:00,920
Truth Hallelujah. 
But there the very next 

299
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,000
scripture. 
He continues going on from there

300
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,480
from that last verse 6, where he
says for he who knows God 

301
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,800
listens to us and he who is not 
from God does not listen to us. 

302
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,040
And by this we will know the 
Spirit of truth and the spirit 

303
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,240
of error. 
Verse seven And then he gives us

304
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:32,240
another way that we're going to 
know God and the difference 

305
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,120
between the spirit of truth and 
error. 

306
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:41,280
He says, beloved, let us love 
one another, for love is from 

307
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520
God. 
So not only is he saying we're 

308
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,920
going to be able to receive the 
spirit of truth, now he's 

309
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:53,200
saying, listen, now that you 
know God, you now have the love 

310
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,560
of God in you, and now that you 
have the love of God and the 

311
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,400
spirit of truth, you're going to
know the difference. 

312
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,880
You're going to know the 
difference between truth and 

313
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,160
error. 
So the love of God must be 

314
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,120
maintained within our lives and 
within our hearts if we're going

315
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:19,920
to have a reigning spirit, the 
truth of God the and the spirit 

316
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,360
of truth. 
But not just that, I'm telling 

317
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000
you. 
The love of God must be 

318
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,920
maintained within our lives if 
we're going to reign. 

319
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:35,440
Because we know that the love of
God effects everything within 

320
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,880
our lives. 
Because faith does not work 

321
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:44,880
without what? 
And this is not the world's 

322
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,840
definition of love. 
This is not our definition of 

323
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,440
love. 
This. 

324
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:58,400
Is pure, unadulterated love of 
God. 

325
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,000
The purity of who he is, the 
love of God. 

326
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,600
For God is what love, and that 
love is agape love that we're 

327
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,960
talking about. 
It is the very essence of who he

328
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,600
is. 
It is his nature, right? 

329
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,960
His love. 
And he's letting us know now 

330
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240
that you have the Spirit of 
truth, and now that you know 

331
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,560
God, and you are of God, you 
have the love of God within you.

332
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,400
This is how we know. 
Isn't that what he says in John?

333
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,400
Which I don't have it down, he 
says. 

334
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,760
How is the world going to know 
it's because of what? 

335
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,240
The love. 
That we have for the brethren. 

336
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:50,080
You see that? 
So the love of God is going to 

337
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,960
keep us from error. 
It's going to protect us from 

338
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,520
error. 
Amen. 

339
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,520
And I'm going to tell you more 
and more in these last days, 

340
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,080
we're going to have to maintain 
the love of God within our 

341
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,360
hearts because of all the 
wickedness and the vile things 

342
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:10,000
that we see happening in the 
world, so that we don't turn 

343
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,520
that towards people. 
Remember, we know what spirit 

344
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:21,920
they're of, so it's not against 
what flesh and blood that these 

345
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:29,000
people are acting these ways. 
And so the love of God must be 

346
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,520
maintained within our hearts for
us to make sure that we are 

347
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,960
operating in accuracy in. 
Hearing from the Lord, because 

348
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,840
I'm going to tell you, if we 
have a fence, if we have issues 

349
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,080
with people, if we have all, 
it's going to get it. 

350
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,520
We're going to deceive 
ourselves. 

351
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,600
And if we are going to be able 
to deceive ourselves, then guess

352
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,000
who works and flows and 
operates. 

353
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,560
And his mode is only what 
deception. 

354
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,360
Deception. 
So if we. 

355
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:18,840
Are not maintaining the love of 
God properly within our hearts 

356
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080
and not just towards him. 
We've said this. 

357
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,000
He and all of us go together. 
They're one. 

358
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,720
You cannot separate the two. 
You can't say, Oh well, I love 

359
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,760
God, but I can't stand this 
person and I don't ever want to 

360
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,120
be around that person again. 
And that person did me wrong. 

361
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,920
That are believers. 
It does not work that way. 

362
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,360
And you are deceiving yourself 
and opening yourself wide open 

363
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,920
to deception. 
The deceiver. 

364
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:58,400
The deceiver, because that's 
where he operates, That's where 

365
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,560
he that's his mode, His, you 
know, his mode, That's where he 

366
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:09,520
flows right through deception in
any way that he can. 

367
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,320
And so if we have anything 
within ourselves that is not 

368
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,720
right, fully functioning in the 
love of God, then we're open 

369
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,880
ourselves right up and letting 
him walk right in those doors. 

370
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,840
Because look, he said beloved, 
let us love one another, for 

371
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,480
love is from God and everyone 
who loves, he's letting us know 

372
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,960
is born of God and knows God. 
This is still all in context. 

373
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,640
He's letting us know that the 
people that do not know truth. 

374
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560
And now he's letting us know. 
But you know truth. 

375
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,960
Now you know you're born again. 
You know God. 

376
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:58,600
So guess what? 
The love of God's there and this

377
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,080
ought to be operating in your 
life. 

378
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,640
It says the one who does not 
love does not know God. 

379
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,640
He's letting you know. 
See what I'm saying? 

380
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,280
He's just letting you know the 
one that does not love God does 

381
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,040
not know God. 
For God is love. 

382
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:22,680
And by this love of God was 
manifested in us, that God has 

383
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,680
sent what his only begotten Son 
into the world, so that we might

384
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:35,920
live through Him in this love, 
in this love, not that we love 

385
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,280
God, but that He loved us and 
sent His Son to be a 

386
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,400
perpetuation for our sins. 
Beloved, if God so loved us, we 

387
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,640
also ought to love one another. 
No one has seen God at any time.

388
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,520
And if we love one another, God 
abides in US, and His love is 

389
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:01,400
perfected in US. 
By this we know that we abide in

390
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:08,440
Him and He and us, because He 
has given us of His Spirit. 

391
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,440
You. 
See that? 

392
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:15,760
And we have seen and testified 
that the Father has sent the Son

393
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,160
to be the Savior of the world. 
Whoever confesses that Jesus is 

394
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:26,280
the Son of God, God abides in 
him, and he and God we have come

395
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,560
to know and have believed the 
love which God has for us. 

396
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,480
God is love, and the one who 
abides in love abides in God, 

397
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:42,120
and God abides in Him. 
By this love is perfected with 

398
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,320
us so that we may have 
confidence in the Day of 

399
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,160
Judgement because. 
As he is, so are we in this 

400
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,640
world. 
There is No Fear in love. 

401
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Say there's No Fear in love. 
And I like how he said that. 

402
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,600
By this. 
What did he say? 

403
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,760
We're perfected right as he is. 
What? 

404
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Because as he is, so are we in 
this world. 

405
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,680
As he was, so are we in this 
world because of the love of 

406
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,560
God. 
So guess what that means? 

407
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,000
I don't have to fear a thing 
that's going on in this world. 

408
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,000
I don't have to fear not one 
thing that's happening in this 

409
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,760
world. 
I don't have to fear not one 

410
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,000
person that's operating of the 
spirit of this world. 

411
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,240
Because the love of God has been
perfected within me. 

412
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Because I know God and I know 
the spirit of truth and the 

413
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,320
difference between the spirit of
truth and the spirit of error. 

414
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,760
Because the love of God is in 
me. 

415
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,880
Because the Spirit of God is in 
me. 

416
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,880
Say the Spirit of God is in me. 
Say the love of God is in me. 

417
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Say it again. 
The love of God is in me. 

418
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,080
You need to tell yourself that 
every day when you wake up, you 

419
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920
need to thank him, Father. 
I thank you that the Spirit of 

420
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,880
truth, the Spirit of you, lives 
on the inside of me. 

421
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,720
And I thank you that the love of
God's on the inside of me every 

422
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,200
day. 
You need to be thanking him for 

423
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,160
that. 
Because this world is only going

424
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,680
to get what darker. 
It's only going to get darker. 

425
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,360
It's only going to get darker. 
And I'm going to tell you, it's 

426
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,120
wicked. 
It's wicked. 

427
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,600
And so you need to thank him 
every day. 

428
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,480
I thank you, Father, that I have
the Spirit of truth living on 

429
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,840
the inside of me. 
And I have your love. 

430
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,840
The love of God is living on the
inside of me. 

431
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,960
If that's all you thank him for 
thanking, come on. 

432
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Because that's what separates 
you from this crazy world. 

433
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,400
It's what separates. 
You. 

434
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,520
And it's what's going to keep 
you sane. 

435
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:14,600
As we see people going insane, 
they're out of their minds. 

436
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,920
They're out of their minds. 
And you need to thank God every 

437
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,800
day. 
And also you can thank him every

438
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,360
day. 
I have the mind of Christ. 

439
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,240
I am not going to act insane 
like everybody else in this 

440
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,000
world that we're seeing. 
Come on. 

441
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Thank you. 
I have the mind of Christ 

442
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,080
because I refuse. 
I refuse to buy the lies and 

443
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,840
operate like the things that's 
going on in this world. 

444
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,200
So it says there is No Fear in 
love, but perfect love. 

445
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,520
What does it do? 
It casts fear out. 

446
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Fear involves punishment and the
one who fears is not. 

447
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,160
Listen to this. 
The one. 

448
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Who fears is not say, is not 
perfected in his love. 

449
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,360
It's pretty simple. 
If you're a person that deals 

450
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,440
with fear, then guess what you 
need to do? 

451
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:18,040
You need to dive into the word 
of God concerning His love, 

452
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,800
because the love of God is not 
perfected within you. 

453
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,600
If you're a person who deals 
with fear on multiple levels, 

454
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:36,560
you can have a fear of man. 
You can have a fear of of not 

455
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240
trusting God with your finances.
Come on. 

456
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:45,840
You can have a fear of rejection
or a fear of, you know, never 

457
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,760
getting. 
Married. 

458
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,720
Come on, you can have a fear of 
of having to live by yourself 

459
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:57,160
for the rest of your life. 
You There's so many fears that 

460
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:03,000
people are bound by. 
And the reason why they're bound

461
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,760
by it is because they just have 
not dove in to discover his 

462
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:16,400
love, and that love has not been
perfected within them. 

463
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:25,040
You see that? 
And so why is this important? 

464
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,640
Because where there is fear, 
who? 

465
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,240
Else operates in that realm. 
That's his playground. 

466
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,880
That's his playground. 
And so if there is a fear within

467
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,960
you, guess what? 
You have an open door for him to

468
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,480
play around with. 
You have an open door for him to

469
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,480
play and to get you in a in A 
and get you in a place. 

470
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,360
That fear grips you so much that
you, I mean, people get so 

471
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,360
gripped with fear that they 
can't even breathe, they can't 

472
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,680
move. 
What are you think? 

473
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:12,880
These panic attacks are nothing 
but fear based? 

474
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,040
I'll tell you the root of it. 
It's fear based. 

475
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:26,360
You see that? 
So what does that tell you? 

476
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,560
As a believer, if we're going to
maintain a reigning spirit, 

477
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,239
we're going to have to dive into
the love of God. 

478
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,840
We're going to have to read 
John. 

479
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,600
Come on 1st John, All the John, 
John, John, John, John. 

480
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:47,560
That should be your diet. 
That should be your diet of just

481
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,159
reading those scriptures and 
getting the love of God so rich 

482
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,880
and deep within you until that 
revelation. 

483
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,920
Come on. 
All it has to do is that 

484
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,960
revelation or that truth. 
Then can just begin to dispel 

485
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:11,520
and push. 
Out that fear, this is the 

486
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:20,160
answers, not appeal. 
That's the answer. 

487
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,400
It's the answer. 
Amen. 

488
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:33,720
And he wants us to know Him. 
He wants us to know Him and to 

489
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:38,400
know the love that he has for 
us. 

490
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,160
To know the love of God is like 
no other. 

491
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,640
To love the To know the love of 
God is like no other, so. 

492
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,480
Let's keep reading what he says.
It says we love because he first

493
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,880
loved us. 
And if someone says I love God 

494
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:07,280
and hates his brother, that is 
not his earthly brother, right? 

495
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,760
We're talking about our brothers
and sisters in Christ here. 

496
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,680
Yeah, I know plenty of believers
that have offense with other 

497
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:23,520
believers, and that is a 
complete open door for the 

498
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,440
enemy, for deception. 
And it kills people. 

499
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,320
It takes them to their grave. 
I've seen it over the 32 years. 

500
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:40,320
Takes them to their grave early 
when God never wanted that for 

501
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,360
their lives, but because they 
refuse to deal with offense and 

502
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:54,000
forgiveness issues whatever and 
hatred towards people come on 

503
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,680
sickness ate them up in their 
bodies. 

504
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:05,280
Now it says if anyone says I 
love God and hates his brother. 

505
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,640
He's a liar for the one who does
not love his brother, whom he 

506
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:15,920
has seen, cannot love God, whom 
he has not seen. 

507
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,040
So what does he go ahead and let
us know, and this commandment we

508
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:25,280
have from him that the one who 
loves God should what, love his 

509
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,880
brother also? 
It's a commandment. 

510
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,680
And you know, I've taught on 
love for years, But do you know 

511
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,600
what more and more I realize 
that these are? 

512
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,080
Just the two. 
Key truths that we must know. 

513
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,320
We must know the Spirit of 
truth, and we must know the love

514
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,280
of God. 
And not our opinions about the 

515
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:54,640
love of God, but what? 
He literally says love looks 

516
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,160
like what his word says love 
looks like. 

517
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:06,880
That means we should not have 
not one issue with anyone else 

518
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:13,600
in the body. 
We should never talk negative, 

519
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,320
right? 
Y'all heard me say this about 

520
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,720
one person in the body of 
Christ. 

521
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,720
We shouldn't. 
Critical or whatever. 

522
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:29,520
The case may be running people 
slandering all these things. 

523
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,240
And if you. 
Say you love God and you do 

524
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:36,160
that. 
Well, guess what? 

525
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,240
The scripture. 
I just don't believe you. 

526
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,720
I believe the scripture. 
I believe the scripture before I

527
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:50,360
will believe you. 
Amen. 

528
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,680
Amen. 
Say. 

529
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,920
Amen. 
So we must love one another. 

530
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,760
We must know the love of God. 
But we also must because again, 

531
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,680
he makes the connection that if 
you love him, then you must love

532
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:15,040
others. 
If you love him, you must love 

533
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,360
others. 
You cannot separate the two. 

534
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,640
You can't say, oh, I love God 
and forget about all these. 

535
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,600
I don't need that church. 
I don't need those people. 

536
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,960
I, you know, I can do this thing
on my own. 

537
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,160
It. 
You can't. 

538
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Sorry you are opening. 
Yourself up wide for the 

539
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,520
deception and destruction from 
the enemy, right? 

540
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,280
Because it's not scriptural. 
There's nowhere in here that 

541
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,040
scripturally you can show me 
where this was just about you. 

542
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:55,200
That's good. 
Show me and I will change. 

543
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,520
Bring it to me in Scripture 
with. 

544
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,920
Three or four? 
Witnesses that this was ever 

545
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:11,920
just about you can't do it. 
But there is a multiplicity of 

546
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:20,240
scriptures that it is about all 
of us, all of us as the body. 

547
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,680
Amen. 
So it's very important that we 

548
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:29,680
deal with this love issue if we 
are going to maintain a reigning

549
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,800
spirit and not be caught up in 
seducing spirits, deception, 

550
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,760
doctrines of demons in these 
last days. 

551
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,800
I mean, it's just imperative. 
Look at First Peter One, First 

552
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,640
Peter 122 through 25. 
It says this. 

553
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,560
Since you have an obedience to 
the truth, you see that to the 

554
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,120
obedience to the truth. 
Do you know there's plenty of 

555
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,400
believers that hear the truth, 
sit in the services that you're 

556
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,280
sitting in and hear the truth 
and refuse to receive it and 

557
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:11,240
reject it time after time after 
time after time and think 

558
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,200
they're OK. 
And then one day things happen 

559
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,800
in their life and they're 
wondering why. 

560
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,960
I've been at church all my life.
Yeah, but you've sat there and 

561
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:25,120
rejected truth and not received 
it and put it to practice within

562
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,200
your life. 
You have to put this into 

563
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,480
practice. 
Practice mates. 

564
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,960
Perfect, perfect. 
Love, Casa. 

565
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,480
That means, listen, you're going
to have to do what the scripture

566
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,960
says, the depths and lengths and
widths of his love, you're going

567
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,040
to have to encounter. 
If you're going to be a true 

568
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,400
woman and man of God to 
maintain, come on, a reigning 

569
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,640
spirit, you are going to have to
say. 

570
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,400
The first thing that's the most 
important thing is let me check 

571
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:03,920
my love walk here. 
That has to be the first thing 

572
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:10,160
that you check up on is, am I 
actually walking in love with 

573
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,320
this situation, with this 
person? 

574
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:19,640
Is there anything in me that I 
am not actually doing when it 

575
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,760
comes to what love says I should
do? 

576
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,760
What is love say we should do? 
Well, you should read First 

577
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,120
Corinthians, but I'm not. 
Anyway, it says since you have 

578
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,520
an obedience to the truth. 
See, the truth is what purifies 

579
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,240
your soul. 
Look at that to the truth. 

580
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:44,160
Purified your souls for a 
sincere love of the brethren. 

581
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,240
That's another reason why you 
want truth, so that it can 

582
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,640
purify your soul. 
What does that mean? 

583
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,520
You're thinking about that 
person. 

584
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,200
Right, so he says. 
Listen. 

585
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,040
The truth that purifies your 
soul. 

586
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,480
For a sincere love of the 
brethren fervently love one 

587
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,040
another from the heart. 
For you have been born again, 

588
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,120
not of the. 
Seed, which is perishable, but 

589
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,240
the imperishable, that is, 
through the living and enduring 

590
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,400
word of. 
God. 

591
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:31,520
We must have the word of God, 
the truth of God, so much within

592
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,680
our lives. 
That listen to me, it should 

593
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,840
just come up the word. 
If the word is not the first 

594
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,600
thing that comes up when you 
encounter a situation, you need 

595
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:50,480
to continue to grow. 
You need to grow. 

596
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,040
Say we going to grow this year, 
we're going to stretch this 

597
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,760
year. 
Come on. 

598
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Because every time a situation 
comes up, whatever it may be, 

599
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:09,120
the word of God ought to be 
right there within you, giving 

600
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,200
you the direction, the word or 
whatever it is for that 

601
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,040
situation that you're going 
through. 

602
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,480
The word of God ought to be 
popping up, and if it's not, 

603
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,760
that means then you haven't hit 
it in your heart. 

604
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,920
You haven't been spending enough
time within the word, right? 

605
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,680
Because the first thing you're 
doing is having a meltdown or an

606
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:40,240
emotional response to a 
situation, right? 

607
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:47,200
So we ought to be having the 
word of God within us, so much 

608
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,280
so that it can purify us, 
sanctify us to the truth of 

609
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,720
God's Word, so that when any 
situation goes on, the truth is 

610
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:59,800
right there. 
I see what's happening here. 

611
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,560
But the truth is, you see what 
I'm saying. 

612
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,800
This may have just happened. 
They may just tell you. 

613
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,280
You just have, you know, an 
incurable disease. 

614
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,840
But the truth is, by his 
stripes, I have been healed. 

615
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,040
He took on all. 
Come on. 

616
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,600
These infirmities and sicknesses
and diseases. 

617
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,000
For me, on the cross, 
Hallelujah. 

618
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,800
What are the first things that 
are coming up when you're 

619
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:36,920
encountering situations? 
Is it the truth of God's word? 

620
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,440
Look at Jude. 
We're going to probably close. 

621
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,760
You know with these last two 
scriptures. 

622
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,760
There's multiple scriptures and 
I've read them to you guys in 

623
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,240
the past for years on. 
The love of God and the fact 

624
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:56,360
that we are commanded to love. 
Right. 

625
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,400
And the fact that we know our 
faith cannot work if we are not 

626
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,200
people walking in the love of 
God. 

627
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:14,400
Faith worketh by. 
Say it again, Say it again, say 

628
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,480
it again. 
So don't tell me you're in faith

629
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,680
when I know you have ought 
towards people. 

630
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,800
I mean, just how simple is that?
It's just so. 

631
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,960
Simple. 
And see how the enemy can 

632
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,560
deceive us and get us into 
deception to where he talks 

633
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,160
about how we've deceived our own
hearts. 

634
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,320
But thank God for the Spirit of 
Truth. 

635
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:49,040
And as long as the Spirit of 
truth can still get in there, 

636
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,400
Come on, if you haven't hardened
yourself so hard from hearing 

637
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,360
the spirit of truth, from 
hearing the truth. 

638
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:03,800
So I know there's people in here
by the Holy Ghost that have 

639
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,200
issue, and your faith is not 
working, but you've deceived 

640
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,720
yourself to think you're good. 
You're in faith, and you're all 

641
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:13,680
right. 
But I'm telling you right now, 

642
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,720
you're deceived. 
You're deceived. 

643
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,320
And you are in the devil's 
playground of deception. 

644
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:30,480
And so this is reality. 
This is reality that we must get

645
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,920
these things right or it will 
not end up well with. 

646
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,880
Us We won't. 
It won't. 

647
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:41,400
Amen. 
So receive truth. 

648
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,800
Quit having a deaf ear to truth 
when it's spoken. 

649
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,960
Look at Jude. 
You know, I thought it was 

650
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,200
interesting that when Pastor 
Lynette was here at how many of 

651
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,600
you were in the prayer session? 
And look at this. 

652
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,560
This is awesome. 
And we read out of she read out 

653
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,440
of the book of Jude. 
Remember that in one of the 

654
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,400
prayer sessions and she read it 
out of the passion translation. 

655
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,920
I'm not going to read it out of 
the passion translation. 

656
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,360
Hopefully you you guys went back
and read it. 

657
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:18,920
But Jude, as I was reading 
through it since she brought it 

658
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,960
up and read back through it, 
Jude said this, thought it was 

659
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,680
interesting and what we were 
ministering today. 

660
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,760
And verse 17 through 21 it says.
But you, beloved, ought to 

661
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,880
remember the words that were 
spoken beforehand by the 

662
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,760
apostles of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, the things that they 

663
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,480
were saying to you, that in the 
last times there will be mockers

664
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,440
following after their own 
ungodly lust. 

665
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,960
These are the ones who cause 
divisions. 

666
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:52,800
They're worldly minded, devoid 
of the Spirit. 

667
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,240
What are they devoid of? 
The. 

668
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:59,640
Spirit of truth, see that then 
he goes on to say. 

669
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,800
But you, beloved, building 
yourselves up on your most holy 

670
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:09,880
faith, praying in the Holy 
Spirit, keep yourselves What? 

671
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,920
In the love of God, waiting 
anxiously for the mercy of our 

672
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,920
Lord Jesus Christ to eternal 
life? 

673
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,840
Look what it says and hear Jude,
the book of Jude. 

674
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,040
If you read it in context, one 
chapter is all about what's. 

675
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,480
Going to What's happening with 
these individuals in the last 

676
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,440
day, right? 
It's all in that context. 

677
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,280
They're devoid of the spirit, 
all kinds of things. 

678
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:46,600
They're talking about, you know,
reads without different things, 

679
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,520
right? 
All these things and worldly 

680
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,760
lust, all kinds of stuff. 
Mockers. 

681
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,120
Are we seeing any mockers on the
news? 

682
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,560
Are are we seeing any of this 
stuff happening? 

683
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,320
Yeah, we're seeing it left and 
right, right. 

684
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,960
And but look what he says. 
We must be people that will keep

685
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,320
ourselves in what? 
The love of God? 

686
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,320
Because if we don't keep 
ourselves in the love of God, 

687
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,680
we're going to start hating 
these very people that need God.

688
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,200
We're going to start hating what
other? 

689
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,800
What about all these people that
are viciously hating what's 

690
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:35,360
going on in the political realm?
Come on, Craziness is happening.

691
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,040
Craziness is happening, all 
kinds of stuff, and they're 

692
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:47,360
hating people. 
And so if we don't take the. 

693
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,920
Posture of making sure that we 
have the love of God so much in 

694
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,800
the forefront of our mind and 
our heart. 

695
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:03,280
We will start getting taking on 
some of those things, and so we 

696
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,640
have to be careful. 
So he says, listen, we must be 

697
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,640
people that keep ourselves in 
the love of God. 

698
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,560
What does that mean, keep 
ourselves in the love of God? 

699
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,760
Does that mean that we could not
be in the love of God? 

700
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,720
If you have to keep yourself in 
the love of God, that means that

701
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:22,840
you might not be in the love of 
God, just 'cause you're born 

702
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:29,880
again. 
No, we have to keep it. 

703
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:36,560
We have to abide in it. 
You know what that word means? 

704
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:41,360
We have to guard it. 
We have to hold fast to it. 

705
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,600
We have to watch over it. 
This is all what this word means

706
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,440
in the Greek. 
We have to reserve it. 

707
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:54,520
That means there ought to be 
such a reserve within your heart

708
00:51:54,520 --> 00:52:03,240
of the love of God. 
A reserve. 

709
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,320
And I'm going to tell you, the 
more and more we're encountering

710
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,000
things in this last days, we're 
going to. 

711
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:21,280
Have to be so full of his love, 
and recognizing that this is not

712
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:26,240
of the right spirit, therefore 
they are bound by this and the 

713
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:28,200
love of God. 
You know what it ought to do. 

714
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:37,400
It ought to compel you to do 
something about it instead of 

715
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:43,080
lashing out towards it. 
So he says, we ought to reserve 

716
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,800
keep guess what else, it says, 
attend to carefully. 

717
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,000
So we must be attending to 
carefully. 

718
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,440
The love of God that we know was
shed abroad in our hearts 

719
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,440
according to Romans 55, when we 
got born again because the love 

720
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,720
of God. 
Just because it's there doesn't 

721
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:06,880
mean that we are keeping it. 
Or what it what else could? 

722
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,800
We say doesn't mean that we're 
practicing it. 

723
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Are we making it a point to 
practice the love of God towards

724
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,720
people? 
Are we making it? 

725
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:28,240
Making that effort to practice 
the love of God that. 

726
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:31,160
Means you know what that means? 
We're going to be in situations 

727
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,360
that you don't want to. 
You don't want to put on love, 

728
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,520
which Colossians tells us to do 
as well. 

729
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
So he tells us we have to keep 
it. 

730
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,760
He tells us we have to abide in 
it. 

731
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,600
He tells us we have to put it on
in Colossians. 

732
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,000
So that means that just because 
I'm born again does not mean I'm

733
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,600
operating. 
In the love of God. 

734
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,240
Just because I'm saved and, you 
know, going to heaven one day 

735
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:06,400
when I die does not mean that I 
am operating in the love of God.

736
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,560
I have to practice it. 
And the way that I practice it 

737
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,960
is that means I'm going to be in
situations that I am going to 

738
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:21,000
encounter as a believer with the
body, with other people, that I 

739
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,080
am going to have to put on love.
I'm going to have to apply it in

740
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,680
that situation. 
That means I'm going to have to 

741
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,200
walk it out. 
That means I am not going to 

742
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,200
think about self and how that is
making me. 

743
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:39,920
Feel, but I'm going to put it on
and say I don't care how I feel 

744
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,520
and I don't care what you just 
said about me and I don't care. 

745
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,200
Whatever. 
You know, I just. 

746
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,960
You know what? 
I'm sorry. 

747
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,400
I love you. 
Please forgive me. 

748
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,840
Can we ever just do that? 
Make peace. 

749
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,520
See that? 
That is actually practicing and 

750
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,040
applying. 
The love of God to your life. 

751
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:12,960
So he says in Colossians 314, 
Last Scripture 314 and 17. 

752
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:18,560
Beloved, beyond all these 
things, put on love, which is 

753
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,600
the perfect bond of unity. 
Let the peace of Christ rule in 

754
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,800
your hearts. 
Do you know what peace will not 

755
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,040
rule? 
You can talk about I had the 

756
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,800
peace of God all day long. 
But peace will not rule within 

757
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:37,240
your life and within your heart 
if you are not operating in the 

758
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:42,640
love of God. 
You know, you talk, oh, I want 

759
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,040
peace in my home. 
And I just want my children to 

760
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,960
all be. 
I just want to come into my 

761
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,880
sanctuary and it all be 
peaceful. 

762
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,200
Yet you got something against 
your husband and there ain't 

763
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:58,520
going to be no peace. 
It's not going to be any peace. 

764
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:07,080
It's not going to be any peace. 
You can act like you got it all 

765
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,280
together if you want. 
I'm just telling you what 

766
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:13,160
Scripture says and and see, 
these are the things that get us

767
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,080
in a deceptive mode. 
It's the Decepticons. 

768
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,200
Oh, my transformer days are 
coming out with all my sons and 

769
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,400
grandsons, right? 
The. 

770
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,360
Decepticons. 
Listen. 

771
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:37,960
There's so many of them and they
can still even infiltrate. 

772
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:45,960
Believers, all these Decepticons
can just show up and infiltrate 

773
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:57,360
if we're not guarding keeping 
come on and allowing truth and 

774
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:04,200
the spirit of truth to actually 
penetrate and receive it and 

775
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,720
actually change and. 
Do it. 

776
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,280
And this is how deception 
happens within our heart. 

777
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,600
This is how the Scripture says 
you've deceived your own heart. 

778
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:25,400
Because we think that just 
because we're born again, that 

779
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:30,120
we can just bypass all these 
other things that the scripture 

780
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:36,640
says and we can't, we can't we. 
Can't act like we're a person of

781
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:41,320
great faith when you know you 
have ought towards somebody 

782
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,680
because your faith is not 
working. 

783
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,280
It's not. 
You've deceived yourself, you 

784
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,800
see that? 
So he says, listen, let the 

785
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,480
peace of Christ rule in your 
hearts, to which indeed you were

786
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,800
called into one body, and be 
thankful. 

787
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,400
And then what does it say? 
Let the word of Christ dwell 

788
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,880
within you richly. 
You see that? 

789
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,920
Let the word of God dwell within
you richly. 

790
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:16,800
So we have to have so much 
truth, so much word put in our 

791
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:21,320
hearts, hiding the word in our 
heart that it's dwelling within 

792
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,640
us richly and when it dwells 
within us richly, guess what's 

793
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,920
going to happen the moment we 
encounter a situation? 

794
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,760
It's going to come out. 
That's the first thing that's 

795
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,000
going to come out. 
It's the first thing. 

796
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,520
I'm not going to think bad about
somebody. 

797
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,800
If I'm in a situation and 
something goes on, I'm not going

798
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,040
to think, well, I can't believe 
that person did that. 

799
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:51,520
I'm not going to think bad about
it because that's not love. 

800
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:59,880
It's not love because love 
believes the in every situation,

801
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,720
even though you may have 
discernment. 

802
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,360
That maybe this situation isn't 
just right, but does the Lord 

803
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:16,640
need you to reveal that, or do 
you just need to let it go? 

804
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,840
See what I'm saying? 
So it's important that we 

805
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,560
recognize that if we are going 
to maintain a reigning spirit in

806
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,200
this day, that we are living so 
that we do not fall into 

807
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,640
seducing spirits and doctrines 
of demons. 

808
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,440
We must have the truth of God's 
Word within us. 

809
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,600
Listening to the Holy Spirit, 
who is the spirit of truth and 

810
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:45,000
full of the love of God. 
Maintaining the love walk. 

811
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:50,200
Walking in it every day. 
Making sure we're guarding our 

812
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,800
hearts against anything that 
would be able to penetrate 

813
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:59,560
within our lives with an offense
or a situation against anyone 

814
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,320
because we don't want the enemy.
To have access. 

815
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,760
So that deception cannot form 
within our lives. 

816
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,040
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

817
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:18,800
Say I have the love of God in my
heart and I have the spirit of 

818
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:24,120
truth in my life. 
Come on, say I'm going to 

819
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:28,720
receive truth. 
I'm not going to resist truth. 

820
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:39,400
Hallelujah.
