Truth Collection: 07.19.26 Living From a Spiritual Awakening | Pastor Bryan Powe

They need to be brought back. And I just love

to see generations come together. You know, the

Bible truly speaks about how we are to speak

of His goodness one generation to the next. And

in an age where churches are being built based

upon preferences, I think it's important that

we remember that we were all called to be the

body. one generation to the next. What do you

mean, Pastor Brian? There shouldn't be no old

church or young church, modern church or traditional

church, but we should truly learn how to worship

God together, and that it should be a blend of

what is good, what has been, what is coming.

And so we've been on a pursuit here at Revealing

Truth, just saying we gonna do it all. And so

I pray y 'all our hearts are open and enjoying

the journey of understanding. Just some spiritual

truths that they I can tell it still got that

oil on it, you know And so um, man i'm just thankful

to be here with you guys. Are you guys excited

to be in church today? Listen i'ma pray him All

today is so good Oh, man, I I know that this

is This is a message that lives well And so I'm

just excited because I know that the clarity

that God's going to bring today, you're gonna

actually know how to live with some things that

you've heard. Are y 'all ready to live with the

truth that you know? Not just know it, but like,

how do I actually live from this? And so we've

been going through the book of Ephesians and

today is that day to where we get to see how

all that's been said, we now change how we live

because of what the truth is. And so I'm excited

and just ready to jump into it. But Father God,

I thank you for today. And I thank you for this

opportunity to come and to minister to your people.

I pray that this moment is one that brings glory

to you, that we decrease in it so that you can

increase. We open up our hearts and our minds

to receive your truth. And we say thank you,

God, for inviting us into this moment, inviting

us into these precious promises. You know, just

snatching us out of darkness and bringing us

into this light. Many of us, all of us, were

lost and you chose to find us and we're thankful

that you didn't leave us in this world without

you. That you called us brothers, you called

us friends. And we're thankful for that. in your

precious name, I pray, the name above all names,

y 'all say with me, Jesus. Amen. With love on

the person next to you. And so, with that being

said, we do have, so let's say, hey neighbor.

Let's really flow today. Because we we boy I

want us to get there I want us to get there And

I believe we will and so Man, let's this is gonna

be a good time a good time. And so go with me

to Ephesians Chapter two, right? We'll be finishing

chapter two Today and as you guys know, we're

gonna go through the whole book of Ephesians

this summer and to just put a little context

on it. The book of Ephesians is written so we

know how to live from a spiritual awakening.

And so when you're reading the book of Ephesians,

it's important for you to realize what is the

writing designed to do? What is God wanting me

to do? Is he's wanting me and you to know how

we live a spirit led life. And the importance

of it, the value of it, I'm not gonna spend too

much time on that, because I believe you guys

already know that that is the grand reward of

giving your life to Christ, is that you are now

alive to what the Spirit is doing. And like I

say, there's one thing to know that, and it's

another thing to know how to live. that truth

out. And so today's goal is so that you know,

I know that pastor, but today's goal is to show

you how to live that truth out. And so just to

begin, where we ended last week is this, and

it's important for you to hear this as we open

this up is truth is people don't just make mistakes,

they're spiritually disconnected. And it's important

because Oftentimes, and a lot of times as believers,

we oscillate between two worlds, a spiritual

world and a natural world, because we're in this

world, not of this world. So we naturally see

things, but God is wanting us to come alive to

spiritual realities. And it's important that

you ground this to understand that people don't.

just make mistakes, they are spiritually disconnected.

And this is important because it'll help you

live a spirit led life. And so if I start to

realize, man, as the spirit is telling me things,

that there will be moments in which people who

aren't alive to that spirit will find conflict

with it. Y 'all rocking with me. It's also important

for me to realize that if I am what the Bible

would describe as unequally yoked, what does

that mean? That I am in business with, which

is a part of our daily lives, right? That you

don't get the pleasure, we don't get the pleasure

to only living with Christians. We have to do

business. There's a lot of interactions that

aren't just Christians that are a part of this

interaction. And so it's important for us to

realize even in those moments that some people,

they are prone, they will make mistakes. We make

mistakes and we're spiritually awakened. And

so how much more will the person who is not alive

to Christ mismanage what God wants to do? And

so Paul is wanting us to be very firm, very firm

and say, hey, some people just. don't know what's

happening. Y 'all all right with that? All right,

all right. So here we go. And so he starts with

it. Therefore, remember that at one time you

Gentiles in the flesh called the uncircumcision

by what is called the circumcision, which is

made in the flesh by hands. So he says, therefore,

remember what he said. Remember, you were like

that. You were spiritually. You were spiritually

unaware. You were disconnected from what God

was doing. And so he said from that mind state,

right, that you start to move forward. Then he

starts to talk about which the uncircumcision

and the circumcision, is he simply saying that

there was a natural, check this out, there was

a natural indication of someone's spiritual awakening

to God. That the... uncircumcised were said to

say, hey, listen, you are not a part of God's

family. The circumcised, you are a part of God's

family. It's important to see that there were

natural, physical indications of someone's spiritual

posture. But Paul wants us to know that, but

that was made by hand. In other words, this was

man's way of defining who was a part of God and

what was he was doing and who was Disconnected

from God and what he was doing y 'all rocking

with me. Come on now. Come on y 'all I told y

'all we got a flow to get there. And so he says

verse 12 remember that you Were at this that

we're at that time separated from Christ alienated

from the Commonwealth of Israel's and strangers

to the covenants of promise." And so Paul goes

on to say that, yeah, you were also Gentiles

he was speaking to. You were alienated, separated

from the Commonwealth. What's the Commonwealth?

The Commonwealth is the combination of the Abrahamic,

the Mosaic, and the Davidic covenants. That these

covenants which God gave his promises through

were given access to by those who were Jewish,

those who were a part of God's family, the circumcised.

Y 'all rocking with me? Come on, church. I just

heard how loud y 'all was praising, so I know

there's a lot more noise available in this room.

But the piece we want to pull out of, it was

more than words, it was reality. Look at me and

say, it was more than words, it was reality.

One of these moments right I experienced it was

hilarious right that um you hear these things

that I grew up on the other side of the tracks

right you grew up on the other side of the tracks

well I told y 'all story maybe about like 12

years ago 13 years ago my father took us to his

hometown where he grew up and You know you heard

that saying right, but when as he was taking

us to where he grew up. We actually drove over

tracks That what what we thought was a just a

concept which it is for him it was an actual

reality there was a railroad track that split

the the the the the levels of society an actual

physical railroad so when they said you live

on the other side of the tracks you were actually

on the other side of the track I need y 'all

to rock with me that it wasn't just a saying,

there was a physical, a natural, something you

could see that represented what was being said.

Whoo! I'm trying not to get excited too soon,

but when you see what God is cooking here, you

be like, oh my goodness, this meal is so good.

But say, hey neighbor. There were physical indications.

people who weren't connected to God so it wasn't

just things that were said it was things that

were seen all right all right y 'all rock you

with me he says but now yep I appreciate it They

are already ready, let's go. But now in Christ,

Jesus, you who were far off have been brought

near by the blood of Christ. So Paul is now starting

to explain that, hey, there were physical things

that represented your spiritual position. But

realize this. Christ Jesus has now brought you

near once that when you were once far That those

who were once separated have been brought near

by Christ Why are you saying this like this pastor

Brian Because what I want you to put a minor

note in right now as we begin to build this message

is the physical things that they saw were still

visible. What Christ did was spiritual. So Christ

spoke that no, what once divided you no longer

does. You are now brought near. to God Now I

want you to realize this this spiritual reality

Was being spoken although the physical signs

still existed And so the word was spoken but

those who were uncircumcised were still uncircumcised

those who were circumcised was still circumcised

that although just to keep this running with

y 'all although my father heard that he could

come out of this neighborhood he still had to

go home across the tracks to go to school he

drove over them tracks got to school and said

you can become educated You can become learned

to where you physically are, you don't have to

remain. He would get that understanding. Guess

what he'd have to do? Get on the bus, drive back,

cross them tracks. So he has this truth that's

real, but he's having to live it in conditions

that haven't caught up. Y 'all just rock with

me. And so when he's saying this, he's saying

this to them, and they're like, wait. Wait. This

is, look at your neighbor say, hey neighbor.

This is a new way of living. Because the way

I lived before was whatever I see is real. Now

you're telling me That spiritually something

I can't see has brought victory over what I do

see Check this out. He says for he himself verse

14 is our peace has made us both one and has

broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of

hostility so then he becomes surgical say hey

neighbor the details do matter and he says this

is how I did it this is how Jesus did it Jesus

didn't ask you to understand it. He didn't ask

them to understand it. He became our understanding.

He didn't ask the Jews if they had peace with

this. He didn't ask the Gentiles if they had

peace with this. He became the peace they needed.

the piece What I did was invite you into me and

When you move into me you get the piece that

I am I'm not asking you to understand how this

works. I'm telling you in me it does their peace

taking two separate bodies Jews and Gentiles

and uniting them in one body Christ and said

in me there's peace see what's amazing about

this is he was speaking to the people group of

that time but that truth is still real for the

people groups of this time That if we truly want

to overcome division, we have to come one in

Christ. That there is always unity and peace

available in Christ because he is peace. He's

the only person that can reconcile differing

groups into one body. Oh, y 'all gotta rock with

me. Because in Christ, there's only one spirit.

Okay This is so good. He said he made us both

one. I want y 'all realize this again Ain't nobody

hop on nobody back They didn't attach themselves

to each other physically. This is all spiritual

That he made them one body spiritually he's speaking

of spiritual truths They still are separate people.

They still, at this point, they're living separately

than the Jews and then the Gentiles. But spiritually,

there's now unity available. Spiritually, there's

now peace available. Whoo! That word peace stands

for no more hostility. He said there's no more

animosity. There's no more hostility. There's

there's no more grievances. Why because in me

all have me So what is there to argue about what's

available to you is available to all We don't

have to discuss rights in the kingdom the kingdom

has rights that are available to all No matter

where you start it from as soon as you get into

the kingdom you have access to all spiritual

blessings There's no ranking system in the kingdom.

There's no upper class, lower class. There's

no black, no white. There's no, oh man, they

are educated, uneducated. There's no, oh man,

they had all their parents. You had none. There

are no stipulations. To receiving all in the

kingdom. So there's no point to argue because

we have all the same access We have all the same

principles and we have all the same promises.

We are one in Christ And he said he made us both

one and Has broken down in his flesh the dividing

wall of hostility. It's important that you see

this put my image up Because we've read that

before but I want you all to realize that this

was a physical thing They're gonna put a my image

y 'all gonna see it boom This is the temple That

wall you see they called it a wall it was about

four and a half feet high it was inside the temple

and Those who were Gentiles weren't loud weren't

allowed past that wall Past that wall is where

the presence of God was and so I'm showing this

to you because we see this and we think oh man

No, no So when he says he broke down Jesus broke

down the wall of hostility and he's speaking

to the Gentiles They're like no the wall still

stands You gotta hear what's happening he's saying

listen I'm telling you Jesus has broken down

the wall that once divided you. In our worlds,

we're thinking, oh, okay. No, in their worlds,

it's like, no, there's still a wall. This is

not just something we say. There's a wall. Go

back to my image. You know what that, and on

that wall, there's two of these stones on each

side of entrances inside of where the presence

of God is. It's written in Jewish, so I don't

expect y 'all Greeks. I don't expect y 'all know

what that says But it says no foreigner is to

go beyond this balustrade and the palace of the

temple zone Whoever is caught doing so will have

himself to blame for his death, which will follow

All right, Paul You're saying Christ came And

that wall That I've seen my whole life that as

a Gentile I would die if I crossed that now it

is broken down That wall that separated me from

God's presence No longer exists and he's like,

yes, they're like, but the wall still stands

He's like, no, you gotta, you gotta hear, let

me upgrade you again. See, the presence of God

once dwelt in that temple, but you are now the

temple. And so what once was behind that wall

is now inside of you. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, but there's

still people who go and that sign is still up.

And they will still kill me if I cross it. And

he's like, they're dead to this truth. You are

alive to this truth. You have access to what

is happening spiritually. And there's people

who haven't caught up because they are still

living according to what they see because they

have no access to what is happening spiritually.

But I'm telling you. God ain't in there no more

He's in you He's in me that wall. It doesn't

matter no more. It doesn't matter You don't even

need to go up in there to get what's in there

because what was in there has moved into you

and you now can recognize Have access Why are

you saying that's right because we got to realize

what they did with that wall They control people

behind the malls Everyone knew that God existed

They just believed the only people who knew what

he was doing whether the Jews and the only people

allowed behind the walls Were the Jews so we

gotta wait for them to come out To tell us what

we should do They were conditioned not to know

how to live with direct access to God News flash

we've all been conditioned on How to live without

having direct access to God that was your whole

life before salvation Before salvation you were

subject to whatever someone said or did Because

you didn't have access to what was happening

spiritually But now that you are alive to God

You don't have to wait on physical signs to know

what's next I Just said something now that you're

alive to God you don't have to wait on physical

representations of what's coming next So he was

telling them before the wall came down that the

walls coming down He said I need you to live

according to what I said is alive spiritually

even though what you see physically looks the

same Let me tell you something. This is our same

argument today Many of us God is speaking to

the spirit in you saying this is done But you're

looking at the world. You see is saying how well

in the same way God broke down them physical

walls He will break down what you were physically

seeing. He's just asking you to live according

to what he said, to live this new life. You have

access to what's going to happen before it happens.

There's this term that says you're ahead of the

curve. Let me help you out. Believers are ahead

of the curve. But you gotta ask yourself, what

curve is God taking me ahead of? Many of y 'all

is sickness. You see sickness. God says you're

healed. He's showing you around the curve You're

speaking about the Dismantling of your family

and he's saying all is well. You're like how

I see what I see he said I'm trying to show you

around the curve I'm trying to get you to live

from a spiritual reality Not what you naturally

see I understand that this is difficult, but

this has always been the pace of time They had

to live differently, although they physically

saw the same signs The value you need to see

is you got to understand we all have a sign That's

trying to tell you what's not possible And God

is speaking internally it is Then he goes deeper

he says verse 15 he says by abolishing the law

of commandments Express and ordinances that he

might create in himself one new man in place

of two so making peace What is he breaking down

that he not only? removed Himself from that temple

and made us now his dwelling place But he has

also taken those Commandments that once used

to govern you bringing about shame and he fulfilled

them. So you have no shame in this new What are

you saying pastor Brandon it wasn't just that

there was walls they also had rules their rules

and regulation is what Foster shame Would foster

guilt what foster condemnation it wasn't that

there were just physical walls They were very

aware of their natural limitations that caused

their condition Come on y 'all We get in there

we flowing y 'all just flow with me you flow

with me and he's saying listen I need you to

understand something you are now alive to me

You don't need those written rules You don't

need those guidelines You're not governed by

those rules You're not governed by those guidelines

and I know you've been living from them for so

long that you have so much shame and Condemnation

that is gonna take a process for you to realize

you are no longer what that said you were All

right, all right Let's fast forward 2 ,000 years.

So you now can see around the curve. But it wasn't

just that you have to understand, well, I am

the healer protecting my health. That now means

that when the doctor comes in and says, this

is why you should be sad about what's going on,

you got to say, man, I'm. I'm not bound by what

this is. I see this all the time with brothers

who have served time in prison. There's a whole

list of rules about what you can now do now that

you have that on your resume. God then speaks

something that's around the curve. You're like,

but what about he's like you aren't bound by

that That doesn't govern you that doesn't control

you that doesn't dictate That doesn't set the

pace That I don't need their qualifications to

accomplish my will I don't need their approval

to accomplish what I'm going to do. Why are you

saying? He didn't ask the Jews if they like this

He didn't ask the Gentiles if they wanted this.

It was His will. He didn't ask if they liked

it. He didn't ask if they agreed. It was His

will for us to be one. And because it's His will,

everything natural folds in accordance to His

will. Y 'all gotta rock with me. That God's will

governs all things. And all things have to line

up to what he said. So if he said it, it's only

a matter of time before these facts have to fold

to the truth of what he said. Y 'all rocking

with me? That absolutely you are going to be

bombarded with facts. that constantly say that

this is why it can't. But you gotta realize,

God didn't ask them facts what is possible. Those

facts actually have to fall to what he says.

Woo, it's always been that way. He didn't ask

them, he didn't say knock down the wall so that

they can know it's true. No, he said it's true

while the wall was still standing. He said, this

is what it's gonna be before they ever agreed.

He said, this is what it is before they ever

understood it. Y 'all rocking with me. He was

saying, I need you to come alive that what I

say, it will be done. Everything is catching

up to me. Everything you see is catching up to

me, but it has no power, no authority to change

what I said is so. You got to sit there and say,

what has God shown you? That's around the curve,

that eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard, but

it's on the heart of God. And I'm telling you

right now, he is folding earth in accordance

to his will. Earth can't speak to God, God speaks

to earth. The earth is the what? Lord's in the

fullness thereof. That's why we can praise. Because

if God said it, that settles it. What do you

mean, Pastor Brian? Because if God said it, it

started in the spirit, and the spirit has always

controlled what is seen in the natural. The natural

has never controlled what happens in the spirit.

So if God said it spiritually, earth's just catching

up. What are you saying, Pastor Brian? Your health

is catching up to his will. I'm saying your business

is catching up to his will your family is catching

up to his will Look at you never say hey neighbor.

It's catching up Oh Guess what neighbor I Need

you all to hear this this is so important that

you see this This is so important that you see

this, and it's how you live a spirit -led life.

There's a smaller nuance, and I'm going to say

it again. He didn't ask them what they wanted.

Why? Because a lot of times you go to people

and say, I don't see it. It doesn't matter what

they can see right now. It doesn't matter what

they want right now. Didn't matter what the Jews

wanted didn't matter what the Gentiles one didn't

matter what they can see or not. See it's what

God said It's what God said it's what God said

this is what God said It's not my opinion it's

not my agenda I didn't even come up with this

listen some of y 'all God has given you hope

and been restoring hope as we've been doing this

series in Things that you already know you don't

you don't even you care less about You've labeled

it dead and you're cool with that That's how

you know, it's God It's important for you to

also really see this too. He didn't ask for them

to do nothing because of what he said. He didn't

ask them to do nothing. He told them, receive

it. Act like it. Have peace about your mind.

Let your soul be at rest. Because I said, this

is what I'm going to do. He says, and I might

reconcile us both to God in one body through

the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And

he came and preached peace, this is Jesus, to

you who were far off and peace to those who were

near. Through him we both have access in one

spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer

strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens

with the saints and members of the household

of God. Trying to get them to identify with their

spiritual reality that you are now have new citizenship

when we talked about last week that you have

dual citizenship that you're not just an american

citizen You're a kingdom citizen now and you

need to read to live according to your new Citizenship

that the citizenship of heaven governs that of

earth And he says you're a saint and and members

of the household of God, built on the foundation

of the apostles and the prophets, Jesus Christ

himself being the cornerstone in whom the whole

structure is being joined together that grows

into a holy temple. In him, you are also being

built together into a dwelling place for God

by the spirit. And what is he saying? walk away

with this truth. The truth is the spiritual realm

governs the natural. He's speaking of who they

are and he didn't change their papers. Any of

y 'all ever moved and You didn't do an update

of address So because the last thing registered

was where you were What was trying to get to

you no longer had access Rock with me That until

I tell you where I went you can't communicate

with me I'll do something else y 'all seem like

y 'all You ever change your phone number And

when it comes time you get it you ever been I've

been there before you you get into The store

the phone store and they say hey we can automatically

up to all your previous contacts, your new number.

Y 'all ever had that question posed to you? And

what did you do? You paused. Because sometimes

the reason you get a new number is to cut off

access to things that are no longer beneficial

for where you're going. It would... It would

ruin the point of a new number if I keep all

the same communication I previously had. And

so I intentionally disconnect, no longer allow

this to come into my realm. So I switched my

number and didn't tell you. Y 'all was a news

flash. When you got saved, it's a full -on confession.

I tried it my own way. I did what I knew how.

I did what they said. I did what they said. I

tried to be perfect and live up to everything

I thought was right. And I discovered none of

it brought fulfillment. So I'm choosing to disconnect

from what's governed me, a world without understanding

of what God was doing. And through salvation,

I have chosen to connect and give my number to

heavenly places. And so now I have understanding

of what is happening before it even occurs so

that I can be well equipped, well able, well

prepared to live according to what God is doing.

Because as it turns out, it's his will that's

moving this whole thing. I see some of y 'all

already connecting the dots. And so we say these

things, and he's wanting them to live as though

it's so, although some of y 'all got saved and

you still live at the same address. You still

have the same phone number. And so certain things

still have access and certain things can still

get to you. And he's asking you to not conform

to what you used to be bound to. That when something

gets to you that doesn't agree with what I have

said is going to be, take no thought. This doesn't

line up. With what God said I Don't know how

y 'all found me But just because you found my

door knocked on my door it doesn't mean I have

to let you in my house They have this new feature

on phones now, it's not that new but it's new

ish to those who had the first cell phones You

can block people now. Some of y 'all know about

that feature. You know what? Why are you saying

this Pastor Bryan? Because in order to strive

spiritually, you have to disconnect naturally.

And so he's wanting you to anchor a new reality,

although you live in at the same address. But

there's one thing that we cannot ignore after

hearing all this, and it's this simple statement.

And when I heard I said, God, that's where it

fits, that you can't hear all that. Walk away

not realizing this that nothing is impossible

for God He changed the way the society interacted

Changed Changed it didn't ask you said this is

my will We say that true that truth is spiritual

truth can bypass natural limitations. Spiritual

truths bypass natural limitations. That truth

is new life is conceived in heaven before it's

ever experienced on earth. And so that's why

he seated you in heavenly places. Pastor but

I still go to the same address. I get it. You're

trying to blend two realities But it's important

that you die to one And that you understand that

although I'm physically present I'm spiritually

seated and in this spiritual seat God makes me

aware ahead of time of what's gonna happen in

time And he's asking me To govern what I let

in not based on what I hear around here before

what I've received from up there Y 'all rocking

with me Because truth is this oldest we starting

to get there we almost there God's will is not

subject to man's agenda It's not can say whatever

they want to say. God's will will change what

they say. Well pastor, they still saying it.

Well don't let them in your house and talk about

it. Say whatever you want to say outside. But

inside we believe the report of the Lord. See

y 'all ready? So what are we, I'm just gonna

show y 'all this, we gonna go on home. But what

are we establishing right here at the end of

Ephesians chapter two, that God did not create

or dictate from permission, he authorized his

will in the spiritual realm first, then it was

sent to earth and his will is now being carried

out. Y 'all put up first Corinthians 2 and 10

five minutes y 'all got me five minutes This

gonna be the grandest five minutes of your week

Put up first Corinthians 2 and 10, so I want

you to take that truth And we're gonna take this

first Corinthians 2 and 10 and then we are going

to They're gonna say surgically Understand spiritual

reality says this he said these things God has

revealed to us through what church spirit for

the spirit does what church even the depths of

God so what things is he referring to he's saying

that They crucified Christ because they didn't

know that he was Christ. Had they had known he

was Christ, they wouldn't have did it. But because

they are not spiritually alive, they were doing

things that they wouldn't have done had they

had known. But as it turns out, they were dead

on purpose. Y 'all gotta hear what I said. As

it turns out, them being dead was a part of the

plan right then. Because some of y 'all complain

about people that you just don't get it. Sometimes,

it's not time for them to get it. Because a lot

of times, God uses their ignorance to move forward

what he wants to do. Because if they were alive

to what he was doing, they would change some

of their decisions. But there's certain things

God wants to move forward with people who are

unaware. Because if they were aware of who you

were, they wouldn't give you the opportunity.

If they were aware of who you were, they wouldn't

have let you into the house. If they're aware

of who you were, they wouldn't have let you into

the hospital and start laying hands. They don't

know he's just gonna go in there and do his thing

It ain't it ain't nothing gonna happen the next

thing, you know The sick are seeing the blind

our eyes are coming open and they realize we

didn't know we let Who we let in? But God knew

The only way for this to happen is for Jesus

to get on that cross The only way for him to

get on that cross is for some people not to be

alive to who he is Because if they were alive

to who he is he wouldn't be able to get on that

cross And some of us complain about people who

are actually moving you forward towards what

God wants to do If they just knew who I was if

they did if they did so they were dead on purpose

so that God's will could move forward because

who puts an innocent man on a cross so boom he

said but we knew it the whole time he made it

aware why because the spirit searches Even the

deaths of God. That spirit that was once in that

temple, that has now moved in you, it has an

assignment. It searches the depths of God. I

was gonna tile this message when deep cries out

to the deep. Because that's what's happening.

You were, look at your neighbors, you deep in

this now. You saved. You are alive. Now we working

on making sure you see what you're alive to.

But you are alive. You can see. You have access

to. You know what God can do. You may not know

how, but you know what he can do. And you don't

need to know how. searching in God what has been

made known to you and when it discovers what

has been made known for you in God it then sends

a signal to you the deep speaking to the deep

the spirit speaking to those who are spiritual

for who knows a person's thoughts except the

spirit of that person Which is in him he's letting

you know that you don't know less you got the

spirit For these things God has revealed to us

first in through the spirit for those who he

searches everything even The depths of God for

those who knows a person's thoughts except the

spirit of that person, which is him. So also

No one this is important. No one comprehends

the thoughts of God, except the spirit of God.

We have received not the spirit of the world,

but the spirit who is from God that we might

understand the things he has freely given us

by God. What is happening right that now you're

seeing two realities. Those who have the spirit

of this world who cannot discern what the spirit

of God is doing. then you have the Spirit of

God. That's what we have in us that can recognize

what God is doing. And so he's saying it's important

for you to realize that there is a whole world

that can't see what you see. But just because

they can't see it, it doesn't mean it's real,

because what you see controls what they see.

Look at your neighbor, y 'all. What you see controls.

What they see And so that's how sometimes we

can be looking so crazy And saying stuff like

it ain't it ain't dead is dormant, but where'd

you get that from I can see What you can't see

Because I have a spirit that's connected to heavenly

realities That is searching out what God has

finished for me So when I speak I speak in what's

finished you see what's processing Y 'all we

unpacking this Because you ain't crazy looking

every day you ain't crazy you're connected Connect

not crazy So if that wasn't enough, y 'all know

I'm visual. I got y 'all a chart. Y 'all put

up my chart, because I want you to see this.

So we're going to make it clear today. Chart

coming. I see it around the corner. Someone's

moving somewhere in the building right now. Discovering

the chart. Or maybe they're realizing this was

supposed to be a chart. Oh, there it is. God

establishes. Jesus covers. The Holy Spirit searches.

Your spirit receives. Your mind filters. Your

heart fuels in your hands, Stuart. This is divine

order. This is how you live a spirit led life.

is you realize that God establishes, what God

establishes, Jesus covers. Because what God established,

we don't, we couldn't earn it. We don't deserve

it. So everything God establishes, Jesus covers,

I pay for it. Go ahead, keep the signal flowing.

The Holy Spirit. Search it. And then he reveals

to you what God has established and Jesus has

covered all unpacking this. This is what we call

a spiritual reality. The world has no access

to them, them things. They have no access. They

know nothing about what God has established,

what Jesus has covered and what the spirit has

found. No idea. You, by way of salvation, are

aware of all those things. But you ain't crazy.

You just thank y 'all family. We'll try it again.

You're not crazy. You're what? I'm aware. So

then what happens? Your spirit receives it. Sometimes

it hit like that. You see somebody in worship

and you know, they ha Sometimes it hit like that.

I don't know UK that elicit. Sometimes it'd be

so good. You just Lord I've had I've received

words from God that have drawn me to tears Not

a thing has changed, but I knew who said it God

will say things like you'll read something and

it'll try to trouble your mind and God will say

trouble don't last always And you got to realize

that ain't you you connected that that process

has happened I'm trying to be faster than that,

but you don't I'm saying That we we think that

takes a lot of time. No it happens I love that

word and suddenly But you'll be walking around

Turn left. What are you doing? You are alive.

Just turn Just turn You'll be about ready to

say something don't say nothing What do you what

is happening out that your spiritual reality

is overtaking your natural conditioning I Normally

would say something right now. Don't let that

in your house no more. It still has your address

but it don't have access. It can knock at your

door, but that don't mean you put it on the couch.

Don't you put them thoughts on your couch. Don't

you put that on your couch. So your spirit receives

it. What happens? This is why our mind has to

be renewed. Because as you come to know what

God has said through his word, the agreement

flows. The more I know what this says, when the

Spirit speaks to me, confirmation is immediate.

But if I keep my mind unrenewed, there's a battlefield

right there. And that's what we call every good

strategy, you got to know where the problems

occur. In this whole process, the first problem

occurs from four to five. And it's called cardinality.

That's where it comes. And it tries to govern

what the Spirit just said. But the only reason

you can't fight the battle is because you don't

know what the Word has said. Right there is where

the Bible wins the battle. Because my mind has

been renewed to the Word. So because I know the

Word, my mind has become subject to what my Spirit

has received. Now I'm on to step, step six. Y

'all rocking with me So when did I get the step

six now? It's time for my heart The Bible says

to guard your heart above all else because out

of it flows what y 'all deicious So now I'm doing

it but I'm doing it halfway because my heart

hasn't been healed So my spirit received it my

mind agrees, but I have an attitude the whole

time Y 'all we've all met an attitude is Christian.

That's where the attitude comes is right there

That's that's where the attitude comes in because

you you have allowed yourself Check this out.

That's also where the Prince of the air is found

You keep believing what's in there your heart

Your heart stays hindered. We was talking about

the Prince of Air last week. I'm just trying

to connect all these dots so we can go on home.

Well, I got another service to do, so y 'all

can go on home. We can do this again. And so

that's why you'll hear something, you'll receive

it, and you'll just be ashamed to say it. Why?

Because your heart's saying, they're not gonna

believe you. That's the air. They failed it before,

it'll fail again. That's the air. And Satan's

trying to use what has no authority to stop what

God has already established. You got to realize

I'm not working with what he's working on. I

received what's already finished. By the time

you hear it, it's already been established, covered,

and the Spirit is working with you to make it

come to pass. It's already, it's too far gone.

Y 'all rocking what I'm saying? That your heart

tries, it's like, have you ever seen, y 'all

know I love football, those y 'all who don't,

just play around with us, we do. But there's

this thing in football say don't celebrate too

soon because sometimes you could be so wide open

Running down the field by yourself There is no

danger in zone. And so you you just you lose

focus There's videos of people dropping the ball

before they cross the actual goal line There's

people who are just wide open paid professionals

the ball hits them in the chest and I Was too

open. I practice with competition. So I wasn't

used to this much visibility I'm so used to struggling.

I don't know how to do it winning I'm so used

to begging. I don't know how to do it from a

pace of power I'm so used to scrambling that

I know you I don't know how to do it focused

So right there The prince of the air Tries to

throw whatever he can why is he throwing every

can because he already knows It's done All I

could do is get you to quit can do is to get

your hands not to move. All I can do is get you

to stop stewarding what God said. Y 'all rocking.

We made it, church. God gave me this prophetic

word to speak to you, but it just needed to sit

on truth. So when you hear it, you can allow

it to connect. But he told me to say, the walls

are coming down. the walls are coming down. And

then he showed me those walls of Jericho and

how they walked around them seven times and not

a thing moved. Sometimes God has shown us so

around the corner that it can look like nothing

is moving. But the walls are coming down. Why?

Because he said they're coming down. How does

walking tear down walls? It ain't for you to

know how. Our job is to steward what he said.

He said walk so we gon' Walk. Ha, we not gonna

yell. We not gonna put on a show. We're gonna

silently trust God. I'm just gonna sit here and

trust. I'm gonna sit right here and trust God.

It's coming down. I'm going to sit right here

and trust. He said, these walls. One last little

piece, just a little extra credit, y 'all. Sometimes

we read the account so fast that we think they

praised because the walls started falling. They

praised because they had finished doing what

God had said. They didn't praise because The

walls had fell. They praised because they had

obeyed God. They prayed because they were obedient

to what he said. The walls did not fall because

of their praise. They were praising out of obedience

to what God has said. What you trying to get

to see pastor Brian some of y 'all been holding

your praise Because you're waiting on the walls

to fall We don't praise walls falling we praise

our obedience to the father who told us to walk

Our praise that I'm divinely connected To a father

who will fight battles that don't require my

strength I praise a father that has strategies

that don't require my mind. It just requires

my obedience I praise a God who will establish

the end from the beginning so I can walk around

my enemy in peace I can I can stand right outside

their walls and not fear any trouble coming my

way, because God is with me. So I praise a God

that will protect me as I walk around the enemy's

camp. Woo! I praise him because he kept us every

single lap. I praise him because he didn't have

to do any of this, but he... as they shouted.

They didn't shout when they started seeing something.

But as they shouted. Because praise represents

us receiving what heaven said is true. I praise

him because he said it. Because he didn't have

to. I know it's around the corner. But he didn't

have to care about my problems, but he chose

to move into my world to see what was troubling

me and to start a spiritual response to what

I naturally am bothered by. Brings a whole nother

understanding to understanding we fight from

victory Not for victory, but when you have that

foundation under you I see it now Because if

I heard it it has already been processed Satan

is trying his best on the back end On the back

he's trying his best on the back you They get

you to quit because it's already done but he's

the prince of the power of the air and you can't

fight the air you you can't fight the air you

just don't breathe it you don't breathe you choose

not to breathe it boy sometimes just sit around

look with the lord the Lord has done and I just

want you to look at your neighbor with all the

faith you've received today and say all is well

oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah father God we thank you

for today and I thank you for the opportunity

to come into minister your word. I pray that

your people receive it. I pray that that was

clear so they can walk it out and live this truth.

We don't want to just know it. God, we need to

live it. And as we live this out, I pray that

you're bringing community and people around us

that keep us. focused on this truth and walking

on this truth and praising a God who is worthy

to be praised. We take this time to repent God

for doubting you, repent for questioning you.

We take this time to say, Father, forgive us.

But at the same time, Father, thank you. for

opening up my blinded eyes. Thank you Father

for not leaving me in the darkness. Thank you

God for shining this marvelous light of truth.

Thank you. Thank you for snatching me out of

that darkness. I am in the light now. I am in

the light now. I can see what God is doing. I

receive it as so if he said it. that sells it

if he said it is finished father i will not trade

in a piece you have given me this is it it's

the piece you give this world cannot take away

but if anybody's here today and you haven't received

I'ma say this too. It was heavy. Man. It was

heavy on my heart this week. I was... listening

to the conversations of believers and how much

world had gotten in so much so that I urge you

this week sit down spend some time with your

father cancel all them plans of man Hear what

he is divinely spoken to you about you. We don't

have time to waste on Whirly ideas and concepts

and it's it's behind The world is trying to catch

up You have the living truth you carry what's

to be established. God's not withholding any

good or beneficial thing from you. Spend time

with your father this week. Allow him to separate

the wheat from the tares. That if Satan can't

get you to stop, he'll often overwhelm you so

you can't focus on what is true. How many of

you guys feel very overwhelmed? If you're feeling

overwhelmed, just stand to your feet. I'm going

to pray for you. in the second service anyway,

but if you've been feeling overwhelmed lately,

like God, I just want you to put the top thing

on the top. I just want to know the thing. Got

a long list. A lot of things. I've just been

wondering what should be first. What should I

really care about? What should I really focused

on? There's a lot I can do, but I've been just

wanting to know, God, what have you called me

to do that? I'm just overwhelmed. exhausted from

thinking through the to -do list and it's to

-do list after to -do list but ain't no done

list got plenty of opportunities but I just want

to know my calling now certain times here you're

you don't even care what you're capable of you

want to know what he's called you to father God

you see your people standing this morning I pray,

Father God, that a fresh wind of wisdom and discernment

sweep through their minds. I pray, God, that

right now you are decluttering their minds, that

you are decluttering thoughts. And Father God,

I pray. that you are planting in a spirit of

wisdom that's far beyond what they've experienced

before, that you are planting a fresh wave of

revelation, that you are overcoming the thoughts

that no longer apply and that you are making

clear and plain what is for them. God, you are

focusing their efforts, their hearts and their

mind to align for what you are doing in this

season, that your will is being made. Clear and

I speak against any person any authority any

power that's trying to come against convolute

Confused what you were doing. We call them out

and we say we cast you out You have no home in

their life. No presence in their mind that they

belong to god They are the temple of the holy

ghost and god is overcoming overwhelming Every

piece of them from the bottom of their feet to

the crowns of their heads. They will be consumed

By god and god alone that he's an all -consuming

fire that you're lighting on fire the things

that are not of you and you're setting ablaze

the things that Never was a part of supposed

to be a part of what they are doing and god you

are making true concrete and firm Who they are

in you? You said upon this rock you'll build

your church and I pray that you're establishing

rocks on the inside of firm foundations Able

to withstand every wave every wind of doctrine

Every form of temptation and evil will not stand

a chance For the rock of revelation that you're

forming on the inside of them Y 'all shout it

with me new life Listen, I love y 'all. If you're

here today, y 'all can take a seat. You're not

saved. You want to receive Jesus. We would love

to introduce you to who he is. I can't tell you

how many times I've, you know, I know y 'all

like, why are you crying? Because I see the moments

of just. comes for him he comes he's helped me

so many times i know he will help you if you

want to invite jesus into your life this morning

we would love to be the church that introduces

you to who he is and oh he's a friend but if

that's you today and you're in the building meet

us in the first room on the left as you leave

if you just even have questions we would love

to just talk to you about who jesus is if you're

online let us know write us in and tell us and

uh amen So we're gonna We're gonna do something

at this time if Y 'all just move according to

how God's telling you to move but you know There's

there's many people in this room that they didn't

come to a service today They came for an encounter

and so I'm not going to stop the spirit of God

from moving and so I just would ask that if you

know You're exiting right now to just Do so in

the spirit of worship. If the Holy Spirit is

leading you to stick around, stick around for

as long as God is telling you to stick around.

The only other thing that I'm gonna give you

an opportunity to do is to sow your seeds offering

and you can do those, do that at this time and

you can sow as you leave. Usher's are in the

back and information's on the screen. But we're

gonna transition the second service a little

different today. That's all right with y 'all

And so um, we're gonna allow the spirit of god

to continue In the atmosphere like I say stick

around as long as god wants you to stick around

Get everything he wants you to get then you can

go ahead and roll on now, right? um, but also

at that same time if um Man god has highlighted

to you a brother or sister to pray for Oh yeah,

we also have a fellowship out back. There's a

meal out back. So if you're hungry and like,

I'm gonna eat something then come back. You can

do whatever that is. But just know that these

moments are special and unique. We aren't here

to try to control the Spirit of God, but respond

to the Spirit of God. So respond how God is telling

you to respond in this moment. Get all that you

came for. We're gonna transition into second

service. They're gonna continue worshiping, but

let me tell you church, I love you. I thank God

for you. Woo! Nothing is impossible for God.

Nothing is impossible for God. to you. My life

is not my own. To you I belong. I give myself

to you. My life is not my own.
