1 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 --> 00:00:13,080 Now enjoy this message. So if you have your Bibles, turn 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,200 over to 1st John chapter 4. Last week we start we we started 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,080 to address a particular subject within the Bible that you know, 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,160 the more I studied, the more common knowledge there actually 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,280 is. I just think that people don't 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,320 take real time to study and as a result of that do not always 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,880 venture out to know what the Bible says. 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360 But this is a pretty common held belief within the church world 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,760 from many other scholars. And so we're just kind of 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,840 catching up with a thought process that many know, but we 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,560 are able to see it in the light through the lens of the Kingdom. 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,960 And here's the thing, I'm going to read you some commentaries. 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,880 I normally do not do that because again, you know, most 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,000 commentaries sometimes will get slant towards their own personal 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,080 tradition, but it's. Amazing how accurate each 18 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,840 commentary is. And it makes me say, then why do 19 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,920 we not clearly see, but because of US understanding the Bible is 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200 about a king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring. 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760 When I read I'm like it's obvious that that's what this is 22 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,840 and there's no other way for the commentaries to conclude it but 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,560 this way. The problem is, is they only 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,520 based upon some scripture see it as a future event, not as a 25 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,720 event that is occurring today. Or we are in it now, 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960 specifically in the realm of the spirit. 27 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,960 OK. In first John chapter 4 verse 28 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,320 one again, we kick launched out our year on the reigning spirit 29 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,120 and there's some context to that here. 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,520 So that's why I'm going to this passage of Scripture. 31 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,440 The beginning of first John 41 says, beloved, do not believe 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,199 every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are 33 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,440 from God. And so, you know, it's in these 34 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,280 last days as people are going to, you know, as the Bible say, 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,680 some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to 36 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,480 seducing spirits. And doctrines of demons, which 37 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:31,400 means the demons will roll out theology through the church 38 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,120 because there will become the the church. 39 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,640 And when I say the church, I'm not talking the one Jesus is 40 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,280 building. I'm talking about the one man is 41 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,720 titled as a church. That demons will, will roll out 42 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,440 theology through the minister because the minister's motive 43 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,080 for preaching is to entertain the hearer, because the hearer 44 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,240 is demanding to be tickled in their ears. 45 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,720 So the audience has determined, geez, the audience has 46 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,080 determined the substance that's coming from the minister, not 47 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,480 the minister is communicating what God wants to tell his 48 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200 children. So the children are making the 49 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,640 demand that I want to hear something specific and give me 50 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,560 someone who gives me what I want to hear. 51 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Now, that is always motivated from this thing called selfish 52 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400 ambition. And the Bible tells us where 53 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,880 selfish ambition exists. Every form of evil is there, 54 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,120 which means then those churches, and I use that term loosely 55 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,720 because it's not the one Jesus is building, basically are 56 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:56,600 entertaining other spirits that are extremely intelligent beings 57 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520 because they've been around longer than your lifespan. 58 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,520 And they have interacted with sinful humanity and a holy God 59 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,000 and his angels and his children longer than you've been alive. 60 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,720 So they have learned to perfect the way they communicate to you 61 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,200 so that it entices the thing that you have kept in your 62 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,080 being, which is selfish ambition where you're like, see, it is 63 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,000 OK, they're finally preaching what I want to hear. 64 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,960 All right. So he tells us there are other 65 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,520 spirits. We are not to believe every 66 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,640 spirit, but we are to determine whether it is from God. 67 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,280 And how do you know a spirit is from God? 68 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Because it will only communicate the word rightly divided in 69 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,600 context to the whole. Canonization of scripture. 70 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,400 All right, it will not take things out of context. 71 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120 All right. And again, if you are a true 72 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,640 studier of the Word, when you hear something and you begin to 73 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,520 dive to determine if it's so, if you take it from Genesis 11 to 74 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Revelation 2221, meaning you're giving a context of the Bible, 75 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,000 it will either get stronger and prove truth or it will begin to 76 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160 fall apart. And when I have found something 77 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,880 that starts to fall apart, I do not try to stop and quit it from 78 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520 falling apart. I keep pushing to determine 79 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,840 because if it doesn't doesn't have a leg to stand on, it 80 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,720 doesn't have a leg to stand on, it does not have a leg to stand 81 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,040 on. And so it's better to let it 82 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,160 fall apart instead of, well, that's what I was believing. 83 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,720 You know how many traditions are kept in the church not because 84 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,280 their truth, but because they do not want it to fall apart, so 85 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,040 they stay away from the areas that make it fall apart. 86 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,840 All right. So again, you're not going to be 87 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,480 able to preach on the baptism of the Holy Spirit if you believe 88 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,600 it's of the devil because you've loud a theology of God by a 89 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,720 demon to come into your church and communicate that it went 90 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,240 away with the original disciples. 91 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,320 So you're going to have to stay away from certain places of the 92 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,480 Scripture because it will dismantle that thought. 93 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,680 Verse four goes on to say you are from God. 94 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,040 Are you from God? Come on, are you from God? 95 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,400 So you are from God, little children, and have overcome 96 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:29,560 them, meaning all the spirits that are not from God, because 97 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,880 greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 98 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,640 And again, we do not need to let that scripture become church 99 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,000 dogma or or cliche. Well, you know, no greater who 100 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,360 greater is he who's in me than he who's in the world. 101 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200 Like it's just a quick talking point that you have no firm. 102 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,680 Persuasion or belief in. I mean, it should resonate like 103 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,760 greater is he who is in me, then he who's in the world and the 104 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,480 spirits that are attached to that spirit in the world. 105 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,160 I will never listen to those spirits because I have the 106 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680 greater one. I have the reigning one and what 107 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,160 can man do to me? What could those spirits ever do 108 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,760 to me? I rule and reign. 109 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,880 I have the greater one that any circumstance I get in and things 110 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,240 that I hear, I'm like, that's all right. 111 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880 I have the greater one. I have access to something 112 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360 greater. We must keep this in 113 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,280 perspective. So we saw in Revelations 1/4 114 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,920 through six in dealing with something that again, answering 115 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,920 this particular question, John to the seven churches that are 116 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480 in Asia. Grace to you, and peace from him 117 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,880 who is and who was and who is to come, and from the Seven. 118 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,000 Spirits who are before His throne and from Jesus Christ the 119 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,360 faithful witness, the first born of the dead, the ruler of the 120 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,560 kings of the earth, to whom? To him who loves us and released 121 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,680 us from our sins by his blood. And he has made us to be a 122 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,280 Kingdom priest to his God and Father, to him be the glory and 123 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,760 the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 124 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,960 So Revelations tells us that there are these seven spirits 125 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840 that are before Him, before His throne. 126 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Is it literally seven different spirits or is it 1 spirit? 127 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,160 And these are the things that we are addressing. 128 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Revelations 5-6 says it this way. 129 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,600 And I saw between the throne with the four living creatures, 130 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,480 and the holders of a lamb standing as if slain, having 131 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160 seven horns and seven, seven eyes, which are the seven 132 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,360 spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 133 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,480 So the word, the number seven is the number of completion in the 134 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000 Bible. And so really we could say it 135 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,760 this way, it is fullness, all right? 136 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,680 Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Father. 137 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,440 So really what the Scripture is telling us is that it's not that 138 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800 there are seven different spirits. 139 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,680 It is one spirit that has seven attributes about. 140 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:00,640 Him and we're really addressing the Holy Spirit. 141 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840 So again in our English language, and again for the 142 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,720 novice. Or casual Christian in their 143 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,760 learning. When they come across like this, 144 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,000 a lot of times they want to seem like they're intelligent. 145 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,680 They're seven spirits, you know? And then if they don't watch 146 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,960 out, if they don't study correctly, then they'll come up 147 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120 with something kind of. Kooky to try to look like 148 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,120 they've developed some form of revelation. 149 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,720 Now most believers don't even go to the Book of Revelation 150 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,440 because they consider it too hard to understand. 151 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:33,440 And so, you know, we have allow a doctrine of demons. 152 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,720 I'm going to say it that way. To come into the church that has 153 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040 infiltrated our minds and that is this. 154 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,560 Well, the Revelations, Revelation deals with the end. 155 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,880 It's going to take care of itself. 156 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,520 I don't. Need to understand it well the 157 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,440 Bible also says the minute you hold that and think that's from 158 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,560 God and that you can maintain that. 159 00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,240 Position. The scripture also says my 160 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,440 people perish due to lack of knowledge. 161 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,840 So you're willfully saying that God's OK with you not to 162 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,680 understand the book, nor are you even going to investigate it 163 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,560 because it's too hard? Well, it's not too hard. 164 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,680 It is to be revealed. The problem is most of the time 165 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:28,400 when Saints start to study the Word, they don't actually go to 166 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,880 the scripture. They first go to the commentary. 167 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:34,320 OK. Which means then I don't know 168 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,920 anything, let me go to someone. OK, well honestly that's a 169 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,920 problem. Because if the first commentary 170 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,240 you go to isn't actually accurate that they they 171 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,560 themselves do not take the whole scripture in the right context, 172 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,160 then you can start developing a mindset that is inaccurate. 173 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,040 Let me say this, just because there is a difference of 174 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:07,080 writings concerning any subject doesn't make it confusing, it 175 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:15,080 just means someone's wrong. And it's amazing how we will 176 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,920 abandoned seeking ourselves and relieve ourselves of the 177 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,320 responsibility to seek just because enough people have 178 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,400 written on a subject that seemed to contradict them. 179 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280 So we assume then it must be confusing. 180 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,600 No, someone may only have written that piece because their 181 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,360 lens set is wrong, which produce wrong conclusions. 182 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,480 That if you studied it yourself, you would be able to go back in 183 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,200 easily and say This is why this person's wrong. 184 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,240 But you understand, we don't want to say people are wrong, 185 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,120 people are wrong. It's OK. 186 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,200 That's not a negative. I'm thankful that God told me I 187 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,720 was. Wrong. 188 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:03,320 That the way that seemed right to me to be with to him was 189 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,840 death. That son, that's wrong. 190 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,280 I'm glad that he let me know son. 191 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,440 The only right is that I'm the way the truth and the life. 192 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,880 No man comes to the father but by me and Paul took this 193 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,880 position. He said now listen, I'm telling 194 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160 you some things and if you don't agree with me, that's fine. 195 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,200 God will reveal to you that I'm right now. 196 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,200 He wasn't acting like I'm right and look at me and being 197 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320 egotistical. What he was saying is the 198 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,520 revelation that I have is correct because the Spirit of 199 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,520 truth has revealed it. I know it according to scripture 200 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,240 back and forth. I know it is the reveal will of 201 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,800 God and if you have a different opinion, God is going to change 202 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,520 your mind. Amen. 203 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,800 So it's OK as a believer to take the position that when you're 204 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,800 right, you're right. And here's the thing, if you 205 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,920 have taken a position I'm right only to find out that maybe 206 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,640 you're wrong, then changing get to the right, it's OK. 207 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,200 I would much rather always seem firmly persuaded about something 208 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,600 then all then be lukewarm and vacillate as if I don't even 209 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,200 know. Which then shows all fake 210 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,640 humility. Well, you know, I just, his ways 211 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,280 are higher than our ways. His thoughts are high. 212 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,120 I just don't know, You know, I just really don't know. 213 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560 I really don't know. The Bible says you can have the 214 00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,040 mind of Christ. So again, you're really 215 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,800 willfully confessing. I refuse to be a seeker of his 216 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,400 Kingdom to know. And I'm just going to stay in 217 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,480 the dark, but I'm going to seem humble about it because God's 218 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,840 all knowing. Hallelujah. 219 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,560 So 7 is the word of completion. So in essence, what he is saying 220 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:54,520 here is he has the spirit that is perfect. 221 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,080 This is the. Perfect Spirit. 222 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,840 The Holy Spirit is perfect. The Holy Spirit never gets 223 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,960 anything wrong. Look to your neighbor and say 224 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,880 the Holy Spirit is never wrong. You know what? 225 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,760 That means that means when he starts talking to you about you. 226 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:25,400 Don't debate with him about it. I remember one time I was 227 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,200 spending a little, spending some time in prayer and I, the Holy 228 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,440 Ghost spoke to me as clear as day. 229 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200 Now, it wasn't audible, boys, but it was clear in my spirit, 230 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,240 you know, and I had taken some time to, to pray, you know, this 231 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,160 was when I was young, way younger ministry. 232 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,120 It was before I even moved here really young in ministry, you 233 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,640 know? And you know, I was not 234 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,320 purposeful about praying in the Spirit nor about prayer in 235 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,120 general, OK. I basically had the same 236 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,280 existence that 90 something percent of Christians have. 237 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,480 And how do you know? Just ask them to pray somewhere. 238 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,280 You go to public place. So why don't you pray? 239 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,360 It's amazing how quick they're like you go to place who wants 240 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,800 to pray? How is this? 241 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:21,960 Why are we not all? I'll do it because it's natural 242 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560 for me to pray, right? A lot of times don't even ask 243 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,680 become like they ain't ready. I'll just pray. 244 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,440 You know, people who pray just start praying, right? 245 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,200 And people who don't pray when they're asked to pray are, you 246 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,920 know, like in school, you put your head down. 247 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,120 You don't want to teach her to see you and ask you to answer 248 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,240 that question. OK, but I'll never forget. 249 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,880 The Lord said if you spend as much time with your wife as you 250 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,800 do with me, you wouldn't be married very long. 251 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,280 Yeah, I'll never forget that. I'll never forget that. 252 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:06,120 What I didn't do is you're wrong, because he's never wrong. 253 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,720 He's perfect. He's perfect in everything he 254 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,560 says to us. The question is, will we just 255 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,360 yield and do it? Hallelujah. 256 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,880 Amen. Has he ever told you you were 257 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,400 lazy? He's told me before. 258 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,520 You're being lazy about that. I'm It's tempting to want to 259 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,840 read your resume, but what's he saying? 260 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,280 You have the capacity to do more and to make the excuse why you 261 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160 can't is really not because you're busy or you're so full, 262 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,800 It's because you're actually being lazy. 263 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080 He calls it like it is. Say Amen. 264 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,560 Anyway, all right, so let's identify the seven spirits that 265 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,400 obviously John wrote about when he saw this and it comes from a 266 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,560 prophecy. Do you understand? 267 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,680 Jesus Christ fulfilled a boatload of prophecies. 268 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,920 I don't have that number off the top of my head. 269 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,200 I think it was 300 and something that's very specific that he 270 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,920 fulfilled the chance for one person to fulfill a prophecy or 271 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800 eight. I think statistically is like so 272 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,800 much So thank you, Holy Ghost for reminding me. 273 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,480 If, if for one person to fulfill eight of the prophecies written 274 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:24,359 about the Messiah is like taking a stack of of, of of dollars, 275 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,640 you know, the coin, the silver dollar, stacking them up one by 276 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,720 one, touching each other. It would be two feet high and 277 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,480 cover the whole state of Texas. Then you take one of those 278 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,800 silver dollars, paint it red, hide it, and you go and pull it 279 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,800 the first time. That is the statistic 280 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,200 probability of one person fulfilling only eight of the 281 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,960 prophecies written about the Messiah. 282 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,400 Jesus fulfilled over 300. Prophecies. 283 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,960 When he was on the planet and there are other prophecies still 284 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,400 to fulfill concerning his coming. 285 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,640 Are you hearing me? So Isaiah had prophecies 286 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,240 concerning Jesus, of which he has fulfilled some of Isaiah's 287 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,640 prophecies. However, John is seeing some 288 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:26,600 things that are beyond his lifetime and beyond the age he's 289 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,640 in. Isaiah prophesied and said this 290 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,400 verse one. He said then a shoot will spring 291 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,240 forth from the stem of Jesse and a branch from his roots will 292 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,520 bear fruit. Well has that happened? 293 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,480 Prophecy fulfilled to. The Spirit of the Lord will rest 294 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,280 upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of 295 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,480 counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the 296 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,480 Lord. So those are the seven spirits. 297 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,120 Of the Lord, they're the seven spirits that are before His 298 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,520 throne. We have the spirit of the Lord. 299 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,120 We have the spirit of knowledge, the spirit or wisdom, excuse me, 300 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:03,960 the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of 301 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,760 understanding, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of strength, 302 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,560 the spirit of knowledge, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord. 303 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Verse two has been fulfilled and we'll see that here in a minute. 304 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,840 Verse 3. But it goes on and we didn't 305 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,240 read this last week. And he will delight in the fear 306 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:28,240 of the Lord, and he will not judge by what he see, what his 307 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,640 eyes see, nor make a decision by what his ears hear. 308 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:40,760 But the righteous he will judge, but with righteousness he will 309 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,680 judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of 310 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,720 the earth. He will strike the earth with 311 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,480 the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will 312 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,640 slay the wicked also. Righteousness will be the belt 313 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,080 about his loins, and faithfulness the belt around his 314 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,160 waist. Glory to. 315 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,480 God, what a picture of the King of Kings. 316 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,920 Of the one to come of this shoot that's going to spring forth 317 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,400 from the stem of Jesse and become a branch and bear fruit 318 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 aren't you glad he's bearing fruit today aren't you glad that 319 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,960 you're the fruit of him? Amen. 320 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:27,760 And so him, John, knowing this and understanding the writings 321 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,840 of Isaiah, when he saw this, he recognized these are the seven 322 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,120 spirits of. That are before the throne of 323 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,840 God, the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of 324 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,240 understanding, the spirit of counsel, the Spirit of strength, 325 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,600 the Spirit of knowledge, and the spirit of the. 326 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,360 Fear of the Lord. How do we know that this has 327 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,000 been fulfilled? Isaiah 61 One again he 328 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,440 prophesied concerning this. What does it say? 329 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,080 You know what the Spirit of the Lord is? 330 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,120 What upon me? Because the Lord has anointed me 331 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,960 to bring good news to the afflicted, He has sent me to 332 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,880 bond up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives 333 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,880 and freedom to the prisoners. This is fulfilled in Luke 418 334 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,720 where Jesus opened up the scrolls of Isaiah open to this 335 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,520 place, read these particular words and then shut the book and 336 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,040 said, This is fulfilled before your eyes. 337 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,720 Hallelujah. So Jesus testifies that he has 338 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,840 of the seven spirits of God, which is the Holy Spirit. 339 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,560 I have the Spirit of the Lord upon me. 340 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,520 I said I have the Spirit of the Lord today. 341 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,920 I'm only going to address one of the seven spirits that are 342 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,280 outlined of the Holy Ghost today because it's really important 343 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,800 that I deal with one. Then we'll pair them up or maybe 344 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,280 group them in threes. I don't know. 345 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,040 We'll see as we move forward because they are very applicable 346 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,760 to us today. Say this applies to me. 347 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,960 Say this applies to me. Say this applies to me. 348 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,920 All right, because God has given you a greater spirit, He's 349 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,720 giving you a greater spirit. So then turning over to Acts 350 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,640 chapter 10, verse 23, again it was echoed or spoken concerning 351 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,240 Jesus. It says this, you know, of Jesus 352 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,240 of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and 353 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,160 with power man. And we're going to get some 354 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,160 revelation of this statement more so because the church has 355 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,280 done a really poor job because they do not know the Bible's 356 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,240 about a king, his Kingdom and his roll offspring. 357 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,720 They have hugged trees of his Kingdom instead of ministering 358 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,440 in the lens of his Kingdom and they have specialize certain 359 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,400 words and began to sensationalize certain aspects 360 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,720 of God and missing the whole thing, you know of Jesus of 361 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,160 Nazareth, How who God, how who? Who's God the Father? 362 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,400 How the Father anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit, that is 363 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,640 the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 364 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,400 How the Father anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power 365 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,240 and how he went about doing good and healing all. 366 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,240 How many? Come on, how many? 367 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,840 How many? How many came down and got laid 368 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,080 hands on today? So how many should expect to 369 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,520 receive healing? All who are oppressed by the 370 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,280 devil, for God the Father was with him. 371 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,400 Jesus testifies that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. 372 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,920 Here Acts the writer reminds us that he was anointed by the Holy 373 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,640 Ghost. It came upon him. 374 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Look what it says in John chapter one verse 32 and 33. 375 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,680 This is the easy reading version. 376 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,680 It says then John said, I also do not know who the Messiah was, 377 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,360 meaning I didn't know who he was, but the one who sent me, 378 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,760 which is the Father by the Spirit to baptize with water 379 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,120 told me. So he heard this by the Spirit. 380 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:14,120 Because John is the greatest prophet, say the greatest 381 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,320 prophet, he was the greatest prophet. 382 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,960 And the anointing or the Holy Spirit would come upon the 383 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,280 prophet, the priest and the king. 384 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,560 So the Holy Spirit, when it came upon him, a tangible presence 385 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,720 and glory of God would come upon John. 386 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,200 And when that power or that anointing came on upon him, upon 387 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,000 him, it would leave. It would come, it would leave, 388 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,160 it would come, and when it come, it came. 389 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,360 It spoke to his Spirit and said to him, Now this he said, you 390 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:50,680 will see the Spirit come down. And what rest on a man? 391 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,240 It's going to rest. It's not going to come down and 392 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,640 come up and come down and come up. 393 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,600 It's going to come and it's going to stay. 394 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,040 I said it's going to stay. He said he is the one who will 395 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:11,160 baptize with the Holy Spirit. I have seen this happen, John 396 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,800 said. I saw the Spirit come down from 397 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,440 heaven like a dove and rest on this man and he was talking 398 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,320 about Jesus Christ. Come on, say Hallelujah, 399 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Hallelujah. So the Spirit rested upon Jesus. 400 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,280 The Bible also declares in John 334 says this. 401 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,360 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, For he gives 402 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,720 the Spirit how? Without measure. 403 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,760 Which tells us when the Holy Spirit came upon or rested on 404 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,600 Jesus, the day John baptized him in the Jordan, and he came up 405 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,680 out of the water and the heavens opened up, the Spirit of God 406 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,440 came upon him and rested on him like a dove. 407 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,480 Then God the Father from heaven says, this is my Son, and whom 408 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,840 I'm well pleased. Again the Trinity, the Father. 409 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,000 The Son and the Holy. Spirit. 410 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,640 He anointed him, I said. He anointed him. 411 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:20,400 He fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy of his anointing, and that 412 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,760 anointing contained without measure, which means the perfect 413 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,080 completion of the Spirit and all that the Spirit of God has, 414 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,240 which are the seven spirits that are contained within the Holy 415 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,240 Ghost. Meaning the Spirit of the Lord, 416 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,440 the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of 417 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,760 counsel, the Spirit of strength, the Spirit of knowledge, and the 418 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,320 spirit of the fear of the Lord. Jesus was walking in the 419 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,880 perfection of this Holy Spirit upon him. 420 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:02,160 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. So Jesus acknowledges that this 421 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,960 Spirit of the Lord is upon him. Now this is really powerful 422 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,600 because you know this Scripture going to go back to Isaiah, 423 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,880 Isaiah had a lot to say about Jesus and him coming, and a lot 424 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240 that he had to say about Jesus was always in the context of the 425 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,640 Messiah. Isaiah's teaching of him was 426 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:27,440 always the kingship. I said the kingship, although he 427 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:33,280 understood the king would be stricken smitten, he talked 428 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,520 about his form, that it would not be in such a stately that on 429 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,560 the outside we thought he was like the best looking thing 430 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,600 ever. He did not come like King 431 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,400 Absalom. King Absalom was a good looking 432 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,120 man, a good looking man. He did not come like this 433 00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,880 gorgeous guy. In fact, if Jesus Walt, you 434 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,200 wouldn't even wreck. He is so common to look at. 435 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,360 He had no stately form about you're not going to go wow, 436 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:05,400 ladies, you would not go wow, that's a good looking man and 437 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,960 he's not he. He is not so good looking that 438 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,360 even a guy would go, now that's a good looking guy. 439 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Most of you would just go by and if somebody said, what do you 440 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,800 think about Jesus? She'd be like, he's not my type. 441 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600 Hallelujah. You know, now you may say, well, 442 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,120 why did the Lord make him not look so attractive? 443 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,120 Well, because of his actions, we're going to be so attractive 444 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,400 that then you add the natural appearance man, he was already 445 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,240 going to have problems when he walked and he did. 446 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,560 He's like, I know the hearts of man and they wanted to put him 447 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 on the throne that day and he had to he. 448 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,720 I'm not preaching this message. But I am seeing this message and 449 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,560 man, it sure will disrupt the church. 450 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:11,920 Jesus tried to not be famous. He worked extremely hard to not 451 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:21,080 be known and the more popular he he he became the more he began 452 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,720 to separate himself, not post more on social media. 453 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Fact when he performed he didn't say man you need to post this he 454 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,080 would say. Don't tell anybody. 455 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,920 And all these people are trying to follow Jesus. 456 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,360 All right, That's another message. 457 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,480 Hallelujah. Now, I'm not saying there's 458 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,520 anything wrong with social media. 459 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,480 Social media is great. It has its IT has its platform, 460 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,160 but it's not for self promotion. OK, it's not for self promotion. 461 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,200 If you don't get a sense that man, we're glorifying God with 462 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,760 that, then shut it down. And you know it when you're when 463 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,360 you have when you start operating with the Holy Spirit 464 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,080 through his through the seven spirits that are that are 465 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,600 attached to who he has as one, then you'll begin to discern 466 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,240 seem like this person is always posting to try to give them 467 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400 glory for what's going on and not God. 468 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,760 Don't take you long to figure that out. 469 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,440 All right, Isaiah Chapter 9, verse six. 470 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,280 You know this one, it says for a child will be born to us, a son 471 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,360 will be given to us and the government. 472 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,880 Oh, are you man, you're not ready for this. 473 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,800 Can you see it? Do you see it? 474 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,520 Do you already see it? Do you see it? 475 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,840 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given, and the 476 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,800 government will will what? What's it going to do? 477 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,680 The Holy Spirit will. Come on. 478 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,920 The government will rest on His shoulders, and His name will be 479 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,960 called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father 480 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,120 Principe. There will be no end to the 481 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,120 increase of his government or of peace on the throne of David or 482 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,440 over His Kingdom to establish it, to uphold it with justice 483 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,000 and righteousness. From then on forevermore. 484 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,120 The zeal of the Lord will accomplish. 485 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,400 This is Isaiah 9. We jump over into Isaiah 11 and 486 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,200 we talk about this branch that comes out of the stem of Jesse 487 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,080 and that he will embody the the spirit of the Lord will come 488 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,880 upon him and the other six that follow after that. 489 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,840 And then it goes on and starts to declare verses 3-4 and five 490 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,560 of how he will rule as king. Amen. 491 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,480 Matthew Henry, commentator, says this in particular. 492 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:02,240 The spirit of government, by which he should be every way 493 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,640 fitted for the judgment which the Father has committed to him, 494 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,080 and given him authority to execute. 495 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:21,720 When we say the spirit of the Lord, we can equally say the 496 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:29,920 spirit of the government. That's shocking to most people 497 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,880 because again, we've been indoctrinated in our nation from 498 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:39,040 a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to a clergyman of a wall 499 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,040 of separation that would exist when they were writing the 500 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,120 Constitution that in essence, the government will never 501 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,120 mandate to the church who and how you are to believe. 502 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,080 We will never do that is what he was saying. 503 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,080 He never was saying So what you believe can never come into 504 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,360 government because if that were true then most of the writings 505 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,280 that they have you would have to tear down, which is why most 506 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,640 people are trying to tear it down and remove the name God 507 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,480 from everything that we have because Thomas never, in fact, 508 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,240 Thomas knew every person's belief will show up in 509 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,360 government. If you do not believe in a God, 510 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,640 then your government or its legislation will embody that 511 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:32,160 belief. This is why Thomas Jefferson 512 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:39,400 stripped in his Bible all of the miracles Jesus performed and 513 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,840 only included his social activity. 514 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,840 And he was concluding that if you just follow the social work 515 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:55,040 of Jesus, it is the perfect governing society where everyone 516 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:02,120 would have the right to pursue freedom, happy the pursuit of 517 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,120 happiness. We would be not at odds with one 518 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,199 another. He was concluding that the just 519 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:16,960 the general moral principles of governing that Jesus held can 520 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,719 create the perfect society. Why? 521 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,480 Because he's the King. The problem is man cannot do it, 522 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,960 especially our current government, because it removes 523 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:33,199 the necessary raw material, the necessary raw material that's 524 00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:37,000 necessary in order for the Kingdom to manifest, and that is 525 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,400 the Holy Spirit and this element of Him, one of His attributes, 526 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:46,600 the Spirit of the Lord or the Spirit of government. 527 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:56,440 Only the Holy Spirit can rightly govern because the Holy Spirit 528 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:02,200 only does what the Son says, and the Son is the king, and where 529 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,600 the word of the King is, there's power. 530 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160 But the Son doesn't do what he does. 531 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,760 He always does what the Father said, because the Father and the 532 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,400 Son are functioning like the original Adam was, to function 533 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,320 when God created the heavens and the earth. 534 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,400 I am the God of heaven, Adam, you are the God of this earth. 535 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,720 If you obey me, then you will live in a perfect society. 536 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,280 My Spirit is in you. I'll come down in the cool of 537 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,960 the day. There's no sin in your 538 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,280 environment as there's no sin in my environment. 539 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,360 So. Just show me you love me by 540 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,240 obeying me at my word, but if you don't, you'll die. 541 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,560 Be separated and that's what took place. 542 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,440 But when? Jesus came who's called the last 543 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,680 Adam. He has the record of the first 544 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,720 Adam and he says this is how the first Adam fell, failed. 545 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:57,480 He didn't obey God, which we'll get to it probably in a week or 546 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,160 so, that the foundation of the other five spirits so sandwiched 547 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,160 between the spirit of the Lord and the last one mentioned, 548 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,760 which is the spirit of the fear of the Lord. 549 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,960 The rest are contained because we'll see that the Bible says 550 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,760 where the fear of the Lord exists. 551 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,560 Then wisdom oh y'all don't want to hear Jesus functions so tight 552 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,560 in the fear of the Lord. That's right that it gave him 553 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:35,680 access to everything else. The Holy Spirit had everything 554 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,320 else. So he recognized upon my 555 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:44,080 shoulders is the Kingdom, the spirit of the Lord, the Lord. 556 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,720 Lord is not a religious word anyway. 557 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:49,640 Lord means supreme in authority. Just by that definition alone. 558 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,400 You should understand that when God said in the beginning, when 559 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,120 he said, when the Holy Spirit came upon it said this is my 560 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,520 beloved son, in whom how God anointed him. 561 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,400 We know this through our teachings is that anointing is 562 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,080 what you do to a king. So in essence, he said, I have 563 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:10,240 given him the spirit of my government, of what is supreme 564 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,240 in authority for all mankind. He operates under that 565 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,800 principle. Yes, Hallelujah. 566 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,000 So every time Jesus says the Spirit of the Lord, he's saying 567 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,880 the spirit of the government, of the Kingdom, of the King's 568 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,960 dominion, of the King's reign, of the word of the King. 569 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,280 That's what is upon, That's what rests on me. 570 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,720 Hallelujah. Are you hearing me? 571 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,880 Isaiah 42? One says this. 572 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,080 Behold my Servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one, and whom 573 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,760 my soul delights. I shall put my spirit upon him. 574 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,640 He will bring forth what justice to the nation's. 575 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,960 One translation says Gentiles, but it might as well say nations 576 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,680 because in God's context you have Israel and the Gentiles, 577 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,240 you have his chosen covenant nation and then the rest of the 578 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,000 nations of the world. And yet Jesus was bringing 579 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,600 justice to the nation. In essence, to the shock of 580 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,720 Peter and others, is that God was opening up his kingship and 581 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,320 his government to go beyond the natural boundaries of. 582 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,000 Israel. Hallelujah. 583 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,640 Hallelujah, I said. Hallelujah. 584 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:31,360 John 522 says this, for not even the Father judges anyone, but He 585 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,400 has given all judgment to the Son. 586 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,960 Why? Because he has the spirit of the 587 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,280 Lord. Jump down a few verses to John 588 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,640 527 it says this. And he gave him authority to 589 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:51,280 execute what judgment? Because he is the Son of Man. 590 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:56,240 In essence, he says the government of my Kingdom in the 591 00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,160 earth should have always rested upon man. 592 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,840 Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. 593 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:09,160 And let them rule have dominion. Over the fish of the sea, birds 594 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,840 of the sky, over all the cattle, over all the earth, over every 595 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,160 creepy thing that creeps on the earth. 596 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,320 In essence, let the spirit of the Lord or the government rest 597 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,800 upon man. So the Son of Man had the spirit 598 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,200 of the Lord or the spirit of His government rest on his 599 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:32,760 shoulders, of which he can execute judgement, and He is the 600 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,320 only righteous, true king. Come on, can I get an Amen? 601 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,520 Look what Isaiah 32 one through 5 says. 602 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,120 Man, there's so much about our king in Isaiah. 603 00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:47,960 Isaiah, behold, a king will reign righteously, and Princess 604 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,680 will rule justly. Are we going to get to these 605 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,960 people here in a second? Come on, you know who those 606 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,120 Princess are? Do you know who those Princess 607 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,480 are? You are? 608 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,000 So a king will reign righteously. 609 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,440 Why? Because he has the Spirit of the 610 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:05,000 Lord. Each will be like a refuge from 611 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,680 the wind and a shelter from the storm. 612 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,720 Like streams of water in a dry country, like the shade of a 613 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:15,280 huge rock in a parched land. Oh, my gosh, my King. 614 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,800 Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, and the 615 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,600 ears of those who hear will listen. 616 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,880 The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, and the 617 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,800 tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly. 618 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:35,200 No longer will the fool be called noble, or the road be 619 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,560 spoken of as generous. Oh, man, we'll break that down 620 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,160 at another time. But you understand the King will 621 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:49,120 reign righteously. The aspect of the Holy Ghost 622 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,720 when he came upon Jesus was to bring him the government of God 623 00:40:54,440 --> 00:41:02,320 through man again in the earth. The Expositor Bible writes this 624 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,560 to Christians. We have been accustomed by the 625 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:13,240 use of the word comforter to associate the Spirit only with 626 00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:16,680 the gentle and consoling influences of heaven. 627 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:23,280 It may seem strange to find his energy identified with the stern 628 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:31,880 rigor of the magistrate. In essence, this guy, this 629 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:39,680 writer is saying we're so, so used to this soft spoken Jesus 630 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,920 and that the Spirit of God is soft spoken. 631 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,640 You know he. Speaks to our inner man, and he 632 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,320 does, I get that, but we only associate him this way. 633 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,920 However, the Holy Spirit has this aspect about him and that 634 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:05,640 is the administrator of Kingdom policy, a magistrate, One who? 635 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,400 Enacts the policies of the king of the Kingdom. 636 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:16,880 And he does it with great force. This is why the king has a sword 637 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,560 in his mouth. I said he has a sword in his 638 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,040 mouth. Again, is Jesus the Prince of 639 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,560 Peace? Yes. 640 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,640 But did he bring peace on the earth? 641 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,200 Only To those who have called on the name of the Lord, they can 642 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,960 function in peace. But to the rest, he's brought 643 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,560 the same sword. And this sword brings division, 644 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,120 it brings conflict. In fact, Jesus said, do you 645 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,640 think that I've come to bring peace? 646 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560 I have not come to bring. Peace I have come to divide. 647 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,280 In essence, he said. I have come to make it crystal 648 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,160 clear. The fool let. 649 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,080 Me. Go back and see how they said 650 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,560 that. The fool that you keep calling 651 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,480 noble and the rogue you keep calling is generous. 652 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:16,120 I know their behavior. I see them for who they are 653 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,760 because I bring the standard of the Kingdom. 654 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,520 Hallelujah. Come on, say Amen. 655 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,920 And you want him to be here. I mean, Jesus is not a pushover. 656 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,160 Jesus is not being duped. It's amazing how many people 657 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,800 think they're putting one over Jesus. 658 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,920 It's not happening. It's amazing of how many of 659 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,440 your, you know how your own children are. 660 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,760 How many parents do I have in here? 661 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,280 Have you? You know, when your kids think 662 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,080 they got something on you, they put something over on you and 663 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:56,400 you're like, I know what's happening, right? 664 00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,800 Right. They put one over you. 665 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,360 I mean, you know, the the first time that you go to correct your 666 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,720 child and they're like, let's pray. 667 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,440 I need to ask you, you're like, oh, that's so sweet. 668 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,800 Wow, that's so sweet. They're doing it. 669 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,320 You know, they revert over to what they know to do because 670 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,800 they've been taught. And then it you're like so 671 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,200 enthralled that they would go to God, you're like, wow in the 672 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,440 world. Could I even spank the child 673 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,960 now? Or, you know, go any further 674 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,680 correction, let's just deal with this. 675 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,240 But then they realized that Ave. keeps me from this. 676 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:33,600 Come on. And then you're like, you know, 677 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,520 I've told you before when I decided one time I just wanted 678 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,920 to talk back to my mom. I use this technique, You know, 679 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,400 I would say things to her and then I would throw this two 680 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,800 letter, you know, this phrase to her. 681 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,440 Just kidding. I'm just kidding. 682 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,000 And I don't mean it. I'm kidding. 683 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,800 No disrespect to you. This is just a joke. 684 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,120 And if it's just a joke, we can laugh about it, right? 685 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,240 Well, I probably did it three or four times. 686 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,520 Then my mom called me on it. She says no, you're not kidding. 687 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,480 You actually mean it, but you're following up with a. 688 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,800 Just kidding. If you do it again, you're going 689 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,480 to get this, this, this, this, this. 690 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,880 I mean, it was not this. It was. 691 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,880 It's going to at least hit the five, right? 692 00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:25,000 One to include a weapon and if anywhere on the five it include 693 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,640 dad got to be a part of the spanking process. 694 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,680 That's the problem. That is a problem that was 695 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,120 problematic. OK. 696 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,360 That was real deal because I could handle my mom's weapons at 697 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:41,360 some point. My dad's Nah I just as soon it 698 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,320 never occurs. Not because he beat me. 699 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,640 He was just stronger. There's something about a father 700 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:56,280 correcting. So husbands, don't let your 701 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,480 wives do it all. Be a man. 702 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,760 Show yourself a man and. Correct, your children, all 703 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,080 right. Praise the Lord, and when 704 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:12,600 necessary, the avenue that brings training. 705 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:19,840 It's called the glutus maximus, right? 706 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,360 Hallelujah. Isaiah chapter 2, verses 2 707 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,840 through 4 says this. Now it will come about that in 708 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,680 the last days. Oh, I love this. 709 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,280 This just gets me jacked. It will come about in the last 710 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,320 days, the mountain of the house. And now we're talking mountain. 711 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,240 We're talking government. We're not talking about a real 712 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:41,560 physical mountain. We're talking about a 713 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,200 government. So in essence, the government of 714 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,800 the Lord or the Lord and his government, the Kingdom will be 715 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,920 established as the what Chief of the mountains? 716 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,400 I will be raised above the. Hills and all the nations will 717 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:04,440 stream to it, and many people will come and say, come, let us 718 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,480 go before the mountain of the Lord, let us go to the Kingdom, 719 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,000 let us go to. The King of Kings. 720 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,400 To the House of the God of Jacob, which is Israel. 721 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,640 That's why Israel and I don't care what conflicts happening 722 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,880 today, people, Israel will not be overtaken. 723 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,200 They're going to have conflict. They're going to be bombarded. 724 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,280 In fact, there's going to come a time that they're going to 725 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,960 invade half of it. But before they take over the 726 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,840 city Jerusalem, Jesus will show back up physically in the 727 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,280 planet. The king will not let Israel be 728 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,840 taken. It will never happen ever again. 729 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,480 Ever. OK, that he they says, let us 730 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,960 come to the mountain of the Lord, to come to the House of 731 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,760 the God of Jacob, that he may what teach us concerning his 732 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,920 ways, that we may walk in his past. 733 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000 For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord 734 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,080 from Jerusalem, and he will judge between the nations, and 735 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,360 will render decisions for many people. 736 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,720 And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their 737 00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:14,640 Spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword 738 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,480 against nation, and never again will they learn war. 739 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:28,680 Wow, can somebody say Amen? Only Jesus can establish peace. 740 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,800 On Earth. So your ideal, as much as you 741 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,800 want it, man, we just want to have peace on earth. 742 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,760 So you're a follower of Jesus. That what you're telling me 743 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,880 you're doing the Kingdom cause? Because if you're not doing the 744 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,440 Kingdom cause, all of your peace efforts are futile. 745 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,600 But man, they raise a lot of money from the world and they 746 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:53,840 deceive a lot of people. All right. 747 00:48:54,640 --> 00:49:03,720 So notice that they want to run to the Kingdom and learn of its 748 00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:10,080 ways. You know what's amazing is that 749 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,040 you can run and learn of its ways. 750 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:21,480 Now when you come to Zion, Zion is not only Jerusalem, but it's 751 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,160 also a type and shadow of His church. 752 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,760 And in this current dispensation, as a king use of 753 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:35,120 the king, you should want to run to the House of the Lord, 754 00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:40,760 because again, the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. 755 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,760 A child will be born, a son will be given, and the government 756 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,040 shall rest on his shoulders. The shoulders are contained in 757 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,240 the body. Jesus is the head of the church. 758 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,960 So we are the ambassadors who are assembling together to hear 759 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,480 from the home country through the gifts He has given the 760 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:06,800 Church to train us in the ways of His Kingdom so that we can be 761 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:13,480 the highest of all mountains right now. 762 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,320 The what? Oh y'all, the one you 763 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,160 understand. Delegates are going to hit 764 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:25,520 Chicago this week so that they can get in rooms and talk about 765 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:31,400 how their policies, their view, their vision for this nation, 766 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:36,360 how they can take it over and cause the mountain called the 767 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,840 United States of America to be in their image. 768 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,960 What they, the Republican Party has already done theirs. 769 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,880 Now the Democrat are doing theirs and they're saying we 770 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,440 will. This is the image of our 771 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,520 mountain. We want it to look like this. 772 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,600 But right now we are assembling together and we can say we 773 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,920 actually are on the highest mountain. 774 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,080 We actually have the mountain that will rise above the 775 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,960 Republican mountain, above the Democratic mountain, above any 776 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,360 other mountain that could ever above China's mountain, above 777 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,800 Russia's mountain, above Europe's mountain mountain. 778 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,880 You are on the highest mountain. And the only reason why that 779 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,280 mountain is not showing itself more is because people are 780 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,520 complacent with going to heaven when they die. 781 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:30,700 They're. Going to say the Spirit of the 782 00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:32,860 Lord is upon them and know nothing about his Kingdom. 783 00:51:34,860 --> 00:51:37,540 Well, if the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, then as a good 784 00:51:37,540 --> 00:51:44,600 ambassador you would run to Zion and learn of His ways. 785 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,720 And those who are you know as well as I do you ready for this. 786 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,240 Alexander McLaren said these words. 787 00:51:53,680 --> 00:52:00,280 The prophet saw not all the wonders of perfect human 788 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,040 character which that indwelling spirit would bring to the 789 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,520 realization in him, but what he saw was indispensable to the 790 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:17,600 perfect King, and was at all events an arc of the mighty 791 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,840 circle of perfection which has now been revealed in the life of 792 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,800 Jesus. The possibilities of humanity 793 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,360 under the influence of the Divine Spirit are revealed here 794 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,440 no less than the actuality of the Messiah's character. 795 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,720 What Jesus is, he gives to his subjects. 796 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,560 To become by the indwelling in them of the spirit of life, 797 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:54,960 which was in Him in essence. God has empowered us with the 798 00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:03,120 same Spirit. The same spirit. 799 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,800 And what has the church done? The church has only They only 800 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,880 want to see the Holy Spirit if they even welcome me. 801 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,760 They only want to see him as. The gentle talker, the 802 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,440 comforter. Because we're in so much trouble 803 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,880 down here, you know, we're really just center saved by 804 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,160 grace. It's tough, it's hard, but you 805 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,800 know, I know that I'm going to go to heaven when I die. 806 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,920 And he comforts me because, you know, we're going to get out one 807 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,400 day. He comforts me. 808 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:48,360 Or they recognize that there's a language and they come not 809 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,680 really for the power, but more for the language. 810 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,640 But then when they get the language they want the. 811 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,560 Gifts that are associated with it. 812 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,320 So the Holy Spirit now is really about the gifts and they just 813 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,640 don't want tongues and interpretation. 814 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,120 They really want the gifts of the power. 815 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,680 When we say power, we're talking about the miraculous things that 816 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,800 take place, the gifts of faith, the gift of faith, the gifts of 817 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,360 healing and the working of miracles. 818 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,080 Those gifts that will raise the dead, that will cause blind eyes 819 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,040 to see, that will call lame to walk. 820 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,680 I mean, we're like, we want this or we want that word of 821 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,600 knowledge so that we are really no more in motive different than 822 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,000 those who listen to other spirits and we call them 823 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:37,200 fortune. Tellers because that's but when 824 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,640 we read that the spirit of the Lord look how God anointed Jesus 825 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,320 of Nazareth who went around doing good right how God 826 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,240 anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power. 827 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:50,960 The word power there dunamis it still, it has the context 828 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,480 because we understand that the spirit of the Lord is the spirit 829 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,640 of his government. In essence, when he was 830 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,200 anointed, it was a King's anointing and he was anointed 831 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,960 with the Holy Spirit and power or authority. 832 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,040 Because the minute you get up underneath the King's anointing, 833 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:16,440 then the other aspects are part of that comes with the authority 834 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:23,560 of the government of God. And what he's saying is he's 835 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,840 saying. Christ the King, who had 836 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,640 perfection of the Spirit without measure, will give to us in 837 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,000 measure, meaning we can now aspect of which those seven 838 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,280 spirits of the Holy Spirit can begin to function in and through 839 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,920 us, because the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead 840 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:47,480 lives in US and comes upon us. It rests on us. 841 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:52,120 It does not withdraw itself. We have that particular power, 842 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,480 and if we'll follow its leading, then we have access, because 843 00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,000 what we actually have is the authority of the believer first, 844 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:05,280 or the mandate of kingship. We've been given back rulership 845 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,000 in the earth to represent the king who sits on the throne of 846 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,000 which we've been assigned in his same sea, because we've been 847 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,440 raised up and seated together with him in Christ. 848 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,760 Which means then, according to first Timothy 6:15, which he 849 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,720 will bring about his proper time, right? 850 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,320 He who is blessed and only sovereign, the King of and the 851 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,360 Lord of. So when the Spirit of the Lord 852 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:34,360 came upon you, it was to give you the power and the authority 853 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,120 of a king. You are God's government in the 854 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:44,120 earth. In essence, you are the final 855 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,840 say on the matter. You are. 856 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,240 And when Jesus was in the earth, He was the final say on the 857 00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:59,280 matter. I said He was the final say on 858 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,120 the matter because we'll see in Scripture because He had access 859 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:09,200 to wisdom and understanding when people came towards him and says 860 00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:10,840 this woman was caught in adultery. 861 00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:18,120 The spirit of understanding, when he was in a room and all of 862 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,400 a sudden there were people in the corner and a guy comes 863 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,840 through the roof. That's lame. 864 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:30,240 Because of the spirit of understanding, he could say, why 865 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,720 do you say to yourself, because I have the spirit. 866 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,400 I have the final say on this thing. 867 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,040 I have the final say on the because I the spirit of the 868 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,000 government is upon me. The final say in the earth is 869 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,240 mine. I said the spirit of the Lord is 870 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,960 upon me. The spirit of government is a 871 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,840 The final say is mine. The final say is mine. 872 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,360 The final say is yours. Cancer doesn't have the final 873 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,600 say. Your bank account doesn't have 874 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,120 the final say. Your current, current trial 875 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:14,000 doesn't have the final say, but because you have the greater 876 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,360 Spirit, you have the Holy Spirit. 877 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,440 You hold him, house him, He's rests on you. 878 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,160 You have access to the final say. 879 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:26,680 Of the Kingdom of God in the earth. 880 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,680 Let's pray.
