Spiritual Intuition - Kingdom Judgement

Today I want to talk to you about spiritual intuition.

OK, turn over to 1st John chapter 4.

John 4 · chapter mention

We'll start in verse one again. We are going to conclude what

what we've been discussing the last couple of weeks concerning

the seven spirits of God and it says this in first John chapter

1 John 4 · chapter mention

4 verse one. Beloved, do not believe every

spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

Notice that there are more than one spirit.

Now this is not capitalized, so we know this is not referencing

the Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit or God as a spirit.

But there are other spirits. In fact, you yourself, you are a

spirit. On the inside is the spirit of

man. Everyone here has a spirit, OK?

Then we have a soul realm. That's our mind, will and

intellect, OK, where our emotions are at all that sits

there and and your soul and your spirit are extremely connected.

OK, There's still two different aspects of you because the Bible

talks about our spirit, soul and body in Hebrews chapter 4 and

Hebrews 4 · chapter mention

also in First Thessalonians chapter 5, that there is a

1 Thessalonians 5 · chapter mention

three-part to man. But again, we separate those for

the sake of teaching. We are not to disassociate them

with our lives. In fact, there's certain

ministers that are not from the circles of teaching that we are

from where we emphasize the spirit of man a lot.

And so they struggle a lot of times when it comes to the soul

of man because they do not understand when we sometimes say

we don't live by how we feel and because, you know, there's an

association with feeling. And I said, now all we're saying

is our first initial feeling is not how we're going to respond.

We first start with the Spirit, but the Spirit should change how

you feel. Why do we know this?

Because the Bible tells us that He'll turn your sorrow into

gladness. So you can be in a situation

that sorrow is the first feeling.

However, if you yield to the Spirit, you can turn that sorrow

into joy, and now your feeling is joy.

And that's an accurate place to yield to because the Spirit

turned it the same thing. You can be in chaos and all of a

sudden have peace beyond your understanding.

Now you feel peace. OK.

And the feeling of peace is what you're following because it

originated first from the Spirit.

And a lot of times we say, well, follow peace.

Well, peace is how you feel. And when you're in a chaotic

situation, you don't feel anything but peace.

But when you yield to the spirit of man, who would can speak to

the Holy Spirit in you hears from the Holy Spirit, then you

can put all one piece beyond your understanding and then

navigate. So then your emotion or soul

realm and your spirit realm come into alignment.

Then guess what, it will make your body subject, meaning

you're going to do what I say now.

OK, so again in relationships you feel that they are gorgeous

and you are very attractive, but then you hear that they are not

born of God. So what you do is you don't go

by how you feel and how you see. You realize they're disqualified

at this point in my life because I will not be in a relationship

with someone I am unequally yoked with.

Their spirit is cut off from God, mine is not.

And it is not my assignment to try to get them born again and

through a relationship because many ungodly spirits inside

vessels will come to church with a believer, Hallelujah and fake

a praise and an offering just to coerce you into the bed.

Say Amen anyway. All right.

And then once they've conquered you, they go on and you're like,

but I thought God said, well, if God's saying then function like

God, be a perfect peace and patience.

You don't have to push, manipulate, or have to get

involved to make sure that it turns out the way you want.

Amen. So with that being said, then

our spirit and soul, they should become aligned right to where

our feelings are not fake. Our feelings are by the spirit

and should transform and change, and then we put our body into

subjection. Well, there are spirits beyond

our spirit. There are angelic beings, there

are unclean spirits. There are familiar spirits.

There are demonic spirits. You understand there are other

realms where spirits exist. And 1st John, John the ride, the

apostle John, the writer of first John, says you need to

test everyone. Now, here's the thing.

If you do not know the Word, you cannot test them.

You're not qualified to give them a test.

In essence, you will fail every time because you cannot line

what the spirits are saying up to truth to the Word of God.

So he says, test every spirit to see whether they are from God.

Then you get down to verse 4. It says you are from God.

Say I'm from God, little children, and have overcome

them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the

world. Say Amen, so we have the greater

one on the inside. It is the reigning Spirit that

we possess, and the reigning Spirit is on assignment to us.

Again, Jesus did not introduce the reigning Spirit through His

gifts. When he first minute mentions

about the Holy Spirit, it was not about his gifts.

He said this is what the Spirit of truth is going to do.

It didn't say He's going to give you gifts so that you can

prophecy. He's going to give you gifts so

that you can raise the dead through the working of miracles

and the gifts of faith and the gifts of healing.

Then say that. Yet how many believers are only

seeking the Spirit, Holy Spirit for those areas.

The Holy Spirit he did not introduce and say now he's going

to give you profound insight into people's lives to where

you'll know what's going on in their life.

That's the first thing he's going to do.

That is not it. He introduced the Holy Spirit

this way. He's first words are John 14.

He will cause things to come to your remembrance that I have

said the number one thing the Holy Ghost is going to do is

remind you say remind you. So if you're coming and saying I

got a word from God, but you can't even hear him to remind

you to live by the fruits of the Spirit and keep your flesh under

control. I may question whether you've

heard him accurate or not. Do not be a gullible believer

that when someone says I heard from the Lord, he wants me to

tell you this. Well, first and foremost, could

you be someone who's not following God really well?

And God can utilize a person, that is true, but the majority

of the time He is not using that person to do those things if

they themselves cannot first hear Him according to the Word.

To live by the Word. Though, if you're around people

who habitually are living carnal and yet they act like they

always have a word from God, you need to start throwing a test

out. Hold it right now.

This is a test. This is only a test because I am

not obligated to receive what you're about to say to me.

Amen. Because Jesus introduced the

Holy Spirit by saying He's going to cause you to remember what I

said, which means you have to become a study of the Word to

give Him some things to remind you about, Amen.

Even in this dispensation under the age of grace where you are

born of the Spirit of God, we still have the same issues of

the old covenant and every dispensation before.

And that's called being a forgetful hearer.

Because if it wasn't prevalent in our lives, then the Holy

Spirit, the first thing Jesus would not, would not have said

to him about him was he's going to remind you lies.

He got to remind you because you're forgetting Hallelujah.

Then he says he's going to teach you all things.

Then he said concerning, He's going to guide you into all

truth. Then we get over to the gifts

where He will disclose things to come.

So if you're not having a relationship with the Holy

Spirit through remembrance, teaching, and truth, now many

can fake that. And I've been around plenty of

them because you understand, it's in the area of broadcasting

broadly. Well, you know, if you've got,

you know, I just said some people here just don't have

peace, Well, that's probably somebody in the room right now,

right? You know, I said somebody's

going, you know, having some issues with their body.

OK. I mean, that could happen any

day of the week, depends on which day I wake up, which issue

I'm dealing with, right? Or what I ate the day before,

right. So again, what it does, it tries

to put on the appearance that I'm hearing the Holy Ghost.

All right, I like how Brother Hagin learned and I'm going to

be ministering on how the anointing works, how to flow in

it. He would say, well, I'm going to

put, I'm putting up my spiritual antenna.

And usually when he was putting up his spiritual antenna, it

wasn't so much that he was trying to say vague things to

get people's visual expressions. Oh, Yellow, come on, help me out

here. I mean, if I say, you know, you

know, maybe it's somewhere the, the from here in your body,

somewhere from here down to here on the backside.

And then somebody like, look. Ah, OK, now I'm because I can

see someone's response, which lets me talk.

But Brother Hagin didn't do those things.

He would begin. Let's pray in the spirit because

he wanted to get it tuned here before he released it there.

If he if he felt it was too vague, he would hold on.

He was tracking. OK, somebody's got some issues

with their body. OK, I got it.

OK, where at? Now give me something more

specific. Well, because again, the gifts

and the word of knowledge and those gifts, which we're going

to be teaching on those next month.

And the one who's going to teach it doesn't even know yet, but

they'll find out today. So with that being said, I mean,

I've known this for a few days. I've just yet to reveal this to

them. With that being said, you know

those gifts get in operation for specifics.

Now, I have been a resistor sometimes of gifts because I'm

passionate about you loving the Word.

I have God's story, meaning God's biblical account of His

walk in the earth where He was constantly trying to get the

people to take Him at His Word. And when they did not, it shut

down gifts. And I've told my staff for

years. Well, when those, when that day

comes that we're flowing and all those types of Are you ready for

the season to maybe pack up and shut down Anchor Faith Church in

Saint Augustine? They, I'm different than most

pastors. I'm just going to be honest with

you because I go beyond just natural talking points.

I mean, I'm a seeker and we stop where most want to stop because

they have their own ambitions. But I realize there is a by

product of when the miraculous starts to happen in the church

where the blind eyes are seeing the miraculous arms are growing

out, the deaf ears are opening up and it's becoming where every

service, these things are happening that all of a sudden

the climate changes from wanting to hear the word to wanting to

see the sign. And Jesus was like, I won't even

do a miracle in that city anymore.

And I'm like, I'd really like to hang out at Saint Augustine a

little bit longer than get to the place of ministry.

We're like, well, the ministry of Angravey Church in Saint

Augustine is done because I cannot come here anymore as a

pastor, an apostle and preach the word because all they want

is a son. How do we keep that from

happening? You must be hungry for the Word.

And here's the thing, the more you know the Word, the less

gifts have to be in operation. And the ones that are in

operation are more for those who are unlearned than it is for the

learned or the mature. Because God speaks to us

primarily through the Spirit. Who had a gift of the Spirit

that spoke to Jesus about it? A couple, a couple.

And when was that? When he was just a child.

They brought him to the temple and the first guy began to

prophecy over Jesus. Do I think Jesus retained that

information at 8 days old? Can't tell you that.

Can I tell you that? I cannot tell you that at 8, You

know, because again, they were coming to circumcising and then

all of a sudden he's being prophesied over.

I said he's being prophesied over.

Amen. Where did Jesus learn most of

the prophetic utterances from concerning himself?

Thank you. Then there was a lady same day,

same age who spoke over him. Are you hearing me?

My point is, is if you're living life looking for someone to use

the gifts to speak to you by the spirit, that shows your

immaturity. All right, shows your

immaturity. So we want to grow in the word.

That doesn't mean we cannot use the gifts.

We are to earnestly desire the gifts honestly and and that's

what the word says. So I have to make adjustments

myself. I just have to say, as I

earnestly desire the gift, I also more desire the

understanding of the word, because there's more Scripture

that talks about people rightly dividing the Word, seeking first

the Kingdom, having understanding of that Word, then

earnestly desiring spiritual gifts.

But when they're necessary, we want them to be necessary.

Amen, I said. Amen.

In fact, I had someone who moves through the gifts here at our

church been extremely accurate about some words of wisdoms and

gave me one concerning the move of miracles.

But it would come through a very specific occurrence of a move of

the gift. And now I have to wait to see if

they'll respond, because I really don't doubt the word.

My point is, is everyone in this room, no matter who you are, if

you sense that you have something by the Spirit, then

we're going to encourage you to respond.

But we do it decent and in order.

You say, well, what if I have something, I'm back there.

Well, then you come down and talk to the usher, of which the

usher will either let my wife know or myself know.

At that point, we're going to determine based upon that

encounter of whether God wants to release you or we take what

you have and release it. Amen.

Amen. OK.

And know this, when you're learning to flow in the Spirit,

you might not get it right. In fact, many hear the Spirit of

God for their personal change. But here's the thing that you

usually fail in. They assume because I need it,

someone else does. So they immediately say, well,

if the Lord's speaking to me about this, I'm surely he's

speaking to someone else. And it's so strong on me.

Well, it's strong on you because God is trying to convict you in

order to correct something to be able to get you to another level

because he may have been doing it subtle and now the

environment has been you need to get it right and it's

reverbiating in your spirit. Who's so strong going to be?

I can hardly Yep, you're right, You're right and it is for you.

So don't be offended if I say that's for you.

Don't be offended, but on the other side, don't equally, don't

be offended if I missed it. I mean, when you got everything

going, everybody's trying to hear Hallelujah and sometimes

people have missed it because they delayed too long.

I've had many come to me and it was the last worship song we

finished, but we've moved on, which means now that moment has

passed. They were right.

I've even had others come and give me something.

I'm like, that's not for today because I know what I'm doing

next week. Bring that to me next week.

That's next week. Are you hearing me?

All right, so the Holy Spirit's really powerful Revelations 1/4

through 7 says this John to the seven churches that were in

Asia, grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and

who is to come. And from the seven spirits who

are before his throne. And from Jesus Christ the

faithful witness, the first born of the dead, the ruler of the

kings of the earth, to him who loves us and released us from

our sins by His blood. And he made us to be a Kingdom

priest of his God and Father. To him be the glory and dominion

forever and ever. Amen.

Notice there are 7 spheres before his throne.

Revelations 5-6 says, And I saw between the throne with the four

living creatures, the elder and the elders, a lamb standing as

if slain, having 7 horns and seven eyes, which are the seven

spirits of the Lord sent out into all the earth.

Now the seven spirits here, the seven spirits of God are not 7

different spirits. It is one spirit called the Holy

Spirit. But the reason they use the word

7, especially in Revelations 5-6, use 7 horns, 7 eyes.

Horns represent governments, OK? And the Kingdom is a government.

We are not in a religion. We are in a government called

the Kingdom of God. The Bible is about a king, his

Kingdom, and his royal offspring.

It's always been about that. It has never not been about

that. But since the fall of man in

Revelation chapter 3, and they preach from there only to

Revelation 3 · chapter mention

Revelation chapter 20, they miss the Kingdom of God because they

Revelation 20 · chapter mention

only associate the Kingdom of God with heaven.

Heaven is not the Kingdom of God.

Heaven is a location. It is a place where God dwells.

Earth is a location where we dwell and the Kingdom of God can

be in heaven and in the earth. He said, says, he said when you

pray, pray this way, our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be

your name, your Kingdom come, your will be done on as it is.

So Kingdom cannot be heaven because heaven is heaven and

earth is earth. But Kingdom can be in both,

which is God's dominion, the King's dominion and authority in

both locations. Hallelujah.

We see this naturally in our nation, in the world right now,

every nation that has AUS embassy, the land that that

embassy is on, although it, the soil is attached to another

nation, the boundaries of another nation.

But when you walk through the gate or the wall that surrounds

that embassy, that dirt is considered US soil.

Are you hearing me? And so that particular soil now,

although it's in Nicaragua or in China or in, you know,

Afghanistan or in whatever, doesn't matter.

That piece of dirt. The laws of the United States

are what applies on that plot of land.

Well, guess what? We are ambassadors for Christ.

And this suit is dirt. Wherever this suit goes, the

Kingdom goes, Amen. Wherever I am, the Kingdom is

Hallelujah. And so the Kingdom functions and

flows through me, the government of God flows through us and this

church the property. This is why the devil fights

churches for land, because not only are we God's property, but

this the the land we purchase is God's property.

In fact, when people walk onto 2121 US One South, they walked

into the Kingdom realm where heaven has access of influence.

This is why many times people walk through our doors of the

church and say something's different here.

That's right. We've made a demand on another

government, another influence, another culture that is alive

and well in the earth today to those who choose to believe and

live according to its design by their own free will.

Amen. So 7 is government, 7 horns.

That's government horns eyes are knowledge inside that means he

and seven in the Bible is considered the number of

completion are perfect. So God is so he's saying this

the seven spirits, which means it's the perfect spirit.

It has the perfect government and the perfect knowledge or

wisdom or insight. Perfect means God never gets the

case wrong. I'm going to say that again, God

never gets a case wrong. It's impossible.

Now these both of these passive scriptures and Revelations 1:00

and 5:00 and we knew there was another one, Revelations 3.

I just choose not to read it. We did it in the first week come

from the prophet Isaiah when he prophesied concerning the Holy

Spirit to come. And it says this in Isaiah 11 to

the Spirit of the Lord number one, that's the first one will

rest on him, not come upon him and then leave like it did in

the other dispensation. It's there.

It will rest on him. And remember we said this

according to Isaiah 9/6, that the government will what?

Rest on His shoulders, which means the Holy Spirit is not

coming on and off us, He's in US.

And when He comes upon us and anoints us as kings of the king

in the earth to represent His Kingdom, it is upon, It is

rested on us. It's in the church.

Now you have the Spirit of God with a measure, and you have the

Spirit of God with a measure, and you have the Spirit of God

with a measure, and so do I. But collectively, as the church,

we have the full measure of the It's why you need me and I need

you. This is why you can't take the

religious doctrine of Jesus Christ in the United States,

which is I can come to church when I want to do what I want to

do. I can continue to be

independent. The church is not a building.

Church is the assembling of yourself together.

It doesn't have to be in a building, but it is very it is a

lot more comfortable than being outside in the parking lot,

right? I mean, can we take this outside

right now? And I preach I'll probably lose

my jacket at some juncture. Some of you going to want to

take your shirts off. We're going to say please don't.

But the Spirit of the Lord's one, the second one, this is the

spirit of wisdom, the third understanding, the 4th, the

spirit of counsel, the 5th, the spirit of strength, the 6th, the

spirit of knowledge, and the 7th, 1 is the spirit of the fear

of the Lord. All these characteristics or

attributes are contained within the Holy Spirit.

And we've already taken the time to talk about the Spirit of the

Lord, which is the government of God.

That's the spirit of government because Lord is not a religious

word. Lord means supreme in authority,

supreme in authority and if you are to if you call on the name

of the Lord to be saved, you're saying I am yielding to your

throne, your way of doing it. You dictate my life.

You're the one in supreme authority and I willfully submit

to it. Hallelujah.

But most people in our, you know, nation's culture

concerning Jesus, love Savior, He saved me of all my sins,

saved me from going to hell. I mean, this song we just sang

today, we changed it because again, it originally said, you

know, when hell still knows hell is not the devil's.

The devil doesn't hold own hell. He doesn't own it.

The Lord is the keeper of hell because the Lord is over the

prison system of His Kingdom. There has to be a place by which

those who rebel and willfully choose to not make him Lord, he

will assign. But the devil still knows that

the work is finished. I said he still knows that Jesus

has conquered death, hell in the grave and has the keys.

Hallelujah, boy. He still knows it and he knows

his time is short, shorter than ever before.

That's why the world's gone mad, because deceiving spirits are

moving, seducing spirits are moving and deceiving and

seducing all that they can outside and inside the church.

Amen. So when it comes to the seven

spirits of the Lord in the expository Bible, this

particular commentary, I want to read this.

I read 1 sentence when we first started, but I want to read this

again. So you get the full weight of

this concept of the seven spirits of the Lord.

The spirits of the Lord mentioned by Isaiah are

prevailing. Put that scripture back up 11

two. So when I read this, they

conceal are prevailingly intellectual.

Gregory of Tours expressly declared the Holy Spirit as the

God of the intellect more than the heart.

Now that doesn't mean he doesn't know your spirit, but let me

tell you what the Holy Spirit didn't come to do, give you a

new one. Jesus did that.

Jesus died and rose so that when you make him Lord, He gave you

the new Spirit. You have a new spirit in not in

the Holy Ghost in Christ because God by His nature can reveal the

heart of man. The Holy Ghost assignment is to

change your thinking and deal with your intellect.

Now He will reveal your heart and when He reveals your heart,

your heart area, meaning anything, which really once

you're born of God, your spirits made new, it is complete,

perfect. It cannot be any more righteous

than it is at that moment. So the Holy Spirit is only

dealing with the junk in your brain.

So He really is more of the spirit of intellect than of the

heart. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

So he goes on to say all councils were opened by a Mass

to the Holy Spirit and few who were examined with care.

The windows of medieval churches will have failed to be struck

with a frequency with which the dove is seen descending upon the

heads of miraculously learned persons are presiding at

discussions are hovering over groups of figures representing

the sciences meaning when they did the churches in the medieval

times that the spirit of God was hovering over those who were

intelligent or was able to tap into what we call science.

You understand for them to understand the stars and and and

biology. Those things were opened up by

who made the plants, who spoke them into existence.

Which means God knows everything about photosynthesis, He knows

everything about how biology works, and he by his Spirit

opens the intellect of man to discover things they never would

have known. So again, we get resistant when

sometimes we need to say what's the science behind this Holy

Ghost? Because the Church has

disconnected itself from intellect.

The church just wants to know where they're going to go when

they die. I mean, this is the difference

at Washington, at Washington, our private school, we are here

to by the Holy Ghost to get them intellectually in a place by the

Spirit that they are 10 times better than anybody else.

So I do not apologize when your child comes home and a brain

hurts. So when they come and complain

about the work, say son, daughter, it's so you will be 10

times more intellectual than anyone else in the world, right?

He goes on and says to the medieval church, because this

was, you know, information back then.

The Holy Spirit was the author of the intellect more especially

listen to this of the governing and political intellect.

And there can be little doubt after a study of the various

variations of this doctrine, that the 1st 5 verses of the

11th of Isaiah formed upon it the classical text of appeal.

Meaning that if you study those five, you understand the Holy

Spirit was there for governing and political issues.

Meaning the legislation to govern, govern man.

But we've made the church religious.

We made Jesus a religious idol. We only want to see His Savior

attributes and do not want to talk about His kingship.

It goes on to say that the that to Christians we have been

accustomed by the word, the use of the word comforter, to

associate the Spirit only with gentle, consoling influences of

heaven. It may seem strange to find his

energy identified with the stern rigor of the magistrate.

We want Him to comfort us when we're in trouble.

In fact, someone texted me before I came up on the platform

and said this. Some people only seek God during

calamity. God wants us to seek Him during

all times of life. And that's true.

Why? Because we want the comforter

instead of Lord. Give me wisdom and intellect.

Give me knowledge and insight. Give me things even in the

natural so that I can I can confound the wise and their

teaching and their dark sayings that come from other spirits.

Let us rise above all. This is why Daniel rose.

This is why Mordecai rose. This is why Joseph rose to

prominence, because they didn't deny the intellect.

I mean, again, some of you in business you are not at a

disadvantage if you'll quit looking at the Holy Ghost only

as a comforter, but begin seeking Him through the

intellectual side. But it is pract.

But in its practical, intelligent, and reasonable use,

this doctrine is greatly to be preferred, on grounds both of

Scripture and common sense, to the two comparatively modern

corruptions of it, one of which emphasizes the Spirit's

influence in the exclusive operation of the grace of

orders, and the other, driving to a opposite extreme,

dissipates it into the vaguest religiosity.

Oh, well, I don't know what the Lord wants to do.

His ways are higher than our ways.

His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

You know how many believers say that they get to an end?

Well, you know, they just want Lord's will to be done because,

you know, we don't know. Well, the Bible says you have

the mind of Christ. New Testament.

But religious people use this all the time.

But you know, I know where I'm going to go when I die.

And when you start talking to them about the Holy Ghost, do

more, they get offended. I mean, I've never seen such

people want to stay dumb. It's amazing to me how quick a

person lost dead in their trespasses of sin and know that

they're going to be eternally judged, full of guilt and shame,

see the love of God on the cross and what he paid to change their

lives and to redeem them from the wrongdoing and will give

them life and life eternal. Except that and then immediately

tell the Holy Ghost. Don't talk to me, don't tell me

anything else. All I care about is I know where

I'm going to go and I die and any other changing on my mind is

irrelevant. I've never seen a new creature

become so passionate to stay ignorant, and that's a miserable

thing. I said That's a miserable thing.

But it says one of the curiosities of Christian

theology, that a divine influence asserted by Scripture

and believed by the early Church is manifest to manifest itself

in the successful conduct of civil offices.

And the fullness of intellectual learning should in these latter

days be so often set in a sort of supernatural opposition to

practical wisdom and the result of science.

In essence, the minute you start talking about having your mind

changed and renewed and you can become wise, smart, intelligent,

far above even academically, a resistance happens because we've

accepted Savior theology and not Kingdom Lordship.

Are you hearing me? OK, so with that being said,

let's look at the last three spirits of the Lord here.

It's the spirit of counsel, the spirit of strength, and the

spirit of knowledge. If you weren't here for any of

the other ones, you can go online.

We have those available for you. They are very powerful and you

should go back. In fact, everyone of you should

read it our to be a lot larger than the numbers we have.

Listen, YouTube's going to suppress us anyway because

they're going to try to keep us out of their algorithm so that

we do not get traffic. I mean we ought to at least be

going back and listening. You know some of y'all are

listening to other ministers and don't even re listen to your own

pastor who's feeding you. You'll give me an Amen in

service, but then you won't go back.

Go through it again and listen to it again so you can actually

get it in your spirit and begin to walk in it.

You'll go listen to somebody else.

So you know, we should. Be the most trafficked viewing

that you have because God assigns you here and the things

I minister are to grow you in the things of God and you need

to go more than three seconds. Hallelujah, Amen.

We release an Anchor Faith Church worship moment, which

we're fixing to release one for our new song Holy.

Those things will hit the thousands easy.

Oh, don't. Just just shout Amen.

Just shout it again. I mean, we'll listen to a song

in repetition, which is why we have to make sure we sing them

right. But we will not wear out.

A sermon. We need to be wearing out some.

Sermons and we need to wear out the sermon that's feeding you in

your house. Hallelujah.

Then if it's changed you so much, why do I not see you

posting it on social media and trying to get it influenced to

your friends? Now I don't follow all of you.

Because I don't have time to go check all your stuff, right?

To go make sure that I'm following everybody.

No, I'm that's not my purpose. However, if you are following

Anchor Bay Church and a real comes out, it should be

something you've sent. I don't understand how.

People can call something theirs and then are resistant to it at

the same time. Oh, that's such a good word,

Pastor. Well, then tell somebody about

it. Send it out.

Brag on it, tell them how much they need to hear it.

Because you're not promoting me, you're promoting the word being

preached. Hallelujah.

I don't need promotion. I was promoted the day I said,

yes, Lord, I'll serve you. I mean, the King knows my name.

He knows my name. I mean, I don't care who knows

me. God knows me.

I'm known. I am known by Jesus.

I'm so glad I'm known by Jesus. Counsel.

In Proverbs 15 it says this. A wise man will hear an increase

in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise

counsel. OK, I do not have time.

Listen, if you just take a word study, meaning you go to one of

these Bible apps that you have or you get a paper book Bible

that has a concordance that's great.

And you look up this one word, there's going to be tons of

scripture that's going to have this word counsel.

Or it could be some translations use other terms, but we're

staying with counsel through the new American Standard.

And if you look at that, there's tons, there's plenty of

scripture that I will not be able to get into that.

Those who resist counsel, what devastating effects take place?

OK. We're just trying to stay

focused on the things that are positive.

And it says this in the definition of this word.

Counsel means the gift of forming right conclusions.

In essence, the spirit of counsel means that the Spirit or

the Holy Spirit is the one qualified to give advice.

Now let me help you. Jesus said I do not say anything

on my own. I only say what I.

And he was baptized by the Holy Spirit.

He had the Spirit upon him without measure rested on him,

which means everything he heard by the Spirit of counsel

qualified him to give the correct advice and.

We have many. Things where they would bring a

woman caught in adultery. But he had.

The counsel. Right, he can get in A room.

And say your sins are forgiven and then talk to the negative

crowd and give the right counsel.

Then he can also be in a situation where they will attack

him about his authority and he'll have the right counsel by

asking another question that they that he knows they won't

answer. And when they don't answer, he

said, well, if you won't answer mine, I'm not going to answer

yours because now I. Have to prove to you.

That I'm wiser than you. Amen.

Which tells me if you're giving advice.

Did it originate from the? Holy Ghost, because some of you

your lips flap way too fast. We are in a society.

That we love to offer our opinion on the matter and have

multiple platforms to do so. We want to make sure everyone

knows our thoughts on the subject, yet we have not even

consulted with the Holy Ghost about it.

And the church honestly sometimes is the worst because

you know you're limited in your information, yet you will talk

as if you were in the room with everyone present.

Which means anything you're saying.

About a situation, you are not in the room with everyone

present. You're not actually qualified to

talk about it. And I've been in that situation.

Someone come and talk to me about something going on with

someone. You know what my counsel is?

Let's talk about you because I can give you wise counsel on how

you deal with you. Because what you and I and I

will usually say it this way. If everything you are telling me

if the other person was here is correct, this is your response.

Because the word says it's not my opinion in the matter.

But I preface if. And I'll tell them because you

know, they're not here. I'm not talking to.

Them about what you're saying there is their side.

But don't come to me and. Expect me to jump on 100% of

your side. It's never going to happen now

I. Can get on 100.

Percent. I'm always on 100% side.

It's called righteousness. It's the word.

That's where I'm at always, period.

That's where I stay. Amen.

And anyone else says other, they're a liar.

All right. Psalms, 3311.

The counsel of the Lord stands forever the plans of his heart

from generation to generation. He is the only one.

Who actually has the right intuition?

And when he's this, he is the counselor.

I mean, we say counsel. We're talking like from a a

legal term. This is what a lawyer is in our

modern vernacular. What you need to go and list a

counselor or a lawyer. You need someone who is well

acquainted with the law. There's a particular.

Situation concerning them all that I needed to seek legal

counsel and so they went to look up what could be done.

And so they say in this case, Pastor Earl, you would actually

need to sue them or take them to court.

In essence, you're saying court. We need you to render a decision

on this matter. But based upon case.

Law. I cannot tell you today that

they will emphatically rule in your favor.

I can argue this case for you, but I could equally argue it for

them. So I knew going in it's a 5050

shot. So for me, guess what, I do take

a step back in the spirit and say, do you want me to pursue

this? Because if you know the judgment

the judge will render and it's for me, then I'll go forward.

Now he's not answered me. On that.

So you know what I'm doing now? Nothing I don't have to pursue.

But the Lord, He knows. His word, He knows.

It inside. And out.

And he's the one who renders right judgment.

Now why is this? Important because the Bible says

that. Do you not know that you will

judge angels? Welcome.

Just so you know. Welcome to the millennial reign.

Attorneys at large. This is who we are.

We will judge angels. But here's the thing.

Because I do not have on my office wall.

A piece of paper. That has proves that I have

passed the Florida Bar Association and I can legally

function as a natural lawyer. When I render judgments from the

word, believers do not take it as final.

Though in some cases I'm like I. Don't even want to meet with you

anymore because you don't treat us as the judge to render the

case final according to the word.

But this is the spirit we actually.

Have this the whole There's a whole scripture where God says

St. Is taking St.

To court shouldn't even be yet what?

Happens when. Saints get underneath the

leadership of the church that that is their task.

Come on, help me. Moses was tasked to render what

judgment? Then he gave it to 70 because

his father-in-law says, son, your office is full.

You have way too many clients. I mean, you going to be wore out

here, son, because what would Moses do?

I mean, I wish that I could walk out and the glory of God was

shine on my face. So you would take my counsel,

but it's on the inside of me. It's not glowing, but it's there

nonetheless. And if you were actually

listening to the spirit of counsel in your spirit, then you

would know what I said was according to God, and you would

change your thinking and crucify your emotions and flesh.

Because this is not about me. Being right, you being right,

the Lord is right, He's right, and that's what we're seeking

so. Moses.

Gives it to 70 and he says you can take care of these cases,

but anything further comes to the Supreme Court.

Hallelujah. And here we have dispute settled

in the New Covenant. We have dispute settled.

They had this issue with feeding Hellenistic Jews widows.

And what did they Did they go to the court of law?

No, they went to the apostles, and they rendered a final

judgment. Because we have a spirit of.

But what do we want To be comforted?

We don't want the. Rigors of the Magistrate.

I can't tell you how many times my.

Staff's come to me about situation.

I said, well, I don't care. I don't know enough about it.

I just don't talk to me. You're getting too emotionally

attached to this. Shut it down.

I've told them more than one time, I understand, but I'm not

moved by anything. But I'll hear the Lord, and then

I'll move. Because I need.

Real counsel I need the advocate.

Are you hearing? Me.

All right, let me. Drive on Proverbs 1921 says this

many plans are in the man's heart, but the counsel of the

Lord will will stand the counsel of the Lord will stand the

counsel of the Lord will stand and this what this tells me with

this next verse look go ahead and let's look at Ephesians

chapter one verse 11. It says also we have obtained an

inheritance, having been predestined according to his

purpose, who works all things after the counsel of his will.

That tells me that. Everyone in this room.

Anyone listening online? When the true.

Holy Spirit, counsel comes on your situation, you know.

That it was thus saith the Lord. And that doesn't mean you

follow, but you know, and in the words of my wife on Wednesday

night, the struggle's real. There's a real struggle with

your. Emotions because again, most of

us come to Council. Because there's a way that

seems. Right to you.

Because a lot of times we are. Judging situations with

inaccurate information or steeped in personal emotions.

And the worst is selfish ambition.

And it exists because Paul talked about them.

I can only send you Timothy. The rest of these man, they seek

their own interest. And the person who seeks their

own interest will not receive counsel from God because they

only want one Counsel what? They want their interest, not

God's, and they will not hear it.

They will not hear it and they will cuss God and his

messengers. I mean like literally cuss and

yet stand in the service and praise Hallelujah.

So this, the Holy Spirit's a big deal.

That's why I love that the Lord spoke to me about you're going

to deal with the seven spirits this year because again, we've

come to a customer, we're too comfortable with the comforter

when the Holy Ghost has way more assigned to him.

In fact, his first assignment is to.

Retain your thinking. Get your intellect to think like

a king and function like God to get sound judgement, because his

counsel stands forever. And again, I don't have time to

go through the negatives of those who resist it.

Because there's plenty in. Scripture that those that are

undisciplined or do not like the discipline of the Lord will will

refute or or resist his counsel, which tells us they know what

he's saying, but they will not yield because it says they don't

want the discipline of the they they being they are being

corrected. They're being corrected.

And again, it's not a negative, it's God saying I love you so

much that that thinking is not of God.

It's not my thinking. It's not how I live.

It's not how life produces it. It's not the way we flow and

move and function. It's not how the Kingdom is.

You're going to be tainted. In essence, what did God say

concerning people who received bribes as judges?

It clouded their judgment. It clouded their judgment.

And as a result of clouded judgment, they would render

final says with personal pursuits.

And let me tell you, the Lord records those cases.

He's recording every case. Be honest with you.

He's recording them all because every case is going to come

before the Supreme Court. Every case.

What do you think the FEMA seat is?

You're going before the bar. It's not about whether you go to

heaven or not, it's about what were the decisions you were

making on my behalf in the earth.

The spirit of counsel is real deal.

Amen. And everyone of us have access

and all of us can know and he does talk to us.

This is really. Not a God talking.

Problem. It's a US listening problem.

That's why I said be quick to slow to.

He did that one first. Why?

Because your mouth is releasing what you know, not what he

knows. Your mouth is you trying to

convince God to do it your way and not His way, and He will not

do it your way. He'll let you do it your way.

But then you'll get your result, and your right is death, his

right is life. The next one is the spirit of.

Strength. One translation calls it the

Spirit of Might, Psalm 3739. But the the salvation of the

righteous is from the Lord. He is their strength in the time

of trouble. Man is he your strength?

Aren't you glad for strength? Strength or might by definition

means this, the ability to carry out counsel with energy.

That's pretty impressive that we need to have that thought before

I move to the next. Because that means the minute

you hear God's counsel on it, you will be strengthened to

stand in it and nothing will be able to stop His counsel.

You'll have the strength to pursue.

I love what Stacey said today when she had that unction by the

Spirit of God got talking to her this week concerning what we

were going to be singing and that she says, listen, I get it.

Sometimes I even struggle. Meaning I have a thought

sometimes, am I really as good I can take on my mistakes more

than what God says about me and that's reality.

But what does she conclude I'll get rid of that thought because

I'm going to take the counsel of God.

The Spirit of counsel has told me I am the righteousness of

God. I didn't cry.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

I am destined by God. I'm a child of the king.

And she stands on that. It gives her the energy and the

strength to stay in that position.

Yeah, that's what that means. You know, Pastor Marcy's been

blessing the socks off of you on Wednesday night, letting you

know the things that we stood in in faith because you know you.

Come to this. Conclusion at this point where

we're at, where the ministry is and the blessings that God has

done on us in our lives because of our faithfulness to his word

and you can conclude that we it's just been a walk in a park

for us. But but it's not been a walk in

the park. It has been a walk in the park

after I knew what he said because once I knew what he

said, then I had the strength to go through.

I could come to this property for five straight years and say

thank you Lord for 2121 US One South and not be moved.

I have the strength to carry out the command.

This place is yours. I had the strength that when.

The first house we ever bought over office Segovia and the Lord

told my wife, this is it. I agreed.

We got an agreement and we went to buy the house and people were

denying us a mortgage because I hadn't been here that long,

although my field of work had been for years.

You know, I understand the banks don't like pastors anyway

because the world doesn't like pastors anyway.

With that being said, we would get letters saying or in

ministries, you know, here you go, you're denied, you're

denied, you're denied, right. So my statement of faith was

tearing a Bush out that belonged to another man at the time

because I was renting this house, but I was in faith saying

I've heard from the Lord, I have gotten counsel we are going to

have this house and by faith I'm ripping this thing out now.

And I did. And it's still not there today

because the roots were gone. I mean, I snatched it out and.

Threw it. Right now I.

Wasn't throwing it at my wife, I was.

Throwing it at the devil. Letting.

Him know you're a liar. All your words mean nothing to

me. I've had the counsel of God and

his counsel stands. And we bought the house, lived

there for 13 years. Right and the.

Person who helped me get the loan later on, I gave that

particular lead or that person's name to another person, said

man, this person was the easiest person to work with.

You know that they said that their, you know, you know,

father was, you know, in ministry too.

And, and man, that was so easy. I mean, I had hardly any work to

do. And anytime I got a denial and

went, they said, don't worry about it, we've got this, you

will have it. And when I sent it to this other

person, they called them up, asked for them by name.

They said nobody at that by that name has ever worked here.

So the Lord was involved in my. Process.

Hallelujah. I said, are you hear what I'm

saying? Glory to God.

So it gives us the ability to carry out his word.

You get strengthened. This is why we, in the words of

Pastor Hagen, I will not, I cannot be defeated and I will

not quit because I have the I have the final judgment on this

thing. The spirit of counsel has spoken

to me. It also means the strength of

heart and purpose which enables a man to meet difficulties, to

encounter danger, to be bold, open and fearless in the

discharge of His duties. Jesus was all that He did not

question who He was. He knew who He was.

The only time He questioned was going to the cross in the

garden. And again, I've already let you

know the only reason He questioned that is not because

He was not willing, is that He wanted to know, is there a ram

in the thicket? Because you wanted Abraham to

kill his promised child. And when he got up there with

all intentions to do it, and you knew he was going to do it, you

stopped the action and you had another way.

And Abraham did not know there was another way.

So I'm asking you, Isaac did not know there was another way.

Is there another way? And the Lord said, son, there's

not another way. So Abraham, trying to be like

the father, believed God must be able to raise the dead.

God knows I'm able to raise the dead, Son.

I've told you in three days I'll come get you.

Hallelujah. And did he get him?

I said, did he get him praise? The Lord.

All right, Psalms. 28 seven, says the Lord is my strength and

my shield my heart. Trust in Him, and I am helped.

Therefore my heart exalts, and with my song I shall thank Him.

Now again, the strength is not so that you can go through

difficulty alone, though you can experience difficulty.

Because when God renders final judgment, make no mistake about

it, the enemy will attack that judgment, that counsel.

Moses went to the king Pharaoh himself and said God has

rendered counsel. Let my people go.

And the very next response. After he sent him off says let's

do an action that will work will cause all the people that Moses

has gone to and told this that his words are actually a lie and

it can't come to pass and made their lives more difficult.

And when everyone then concluded that, Moses, you're a jerk and

we hate that you came and now it's worse, you should pack your

bags and go back across the river and leave us.

He had the strength, the spirit of strength, the spirit of might

to finish the course, and he brought them out of Egypt.

Say Amen. Psalms 147 five Great is our

Lord, and abundant in strength. His understanding is infinite.

This is why it's perplexing to me that a believer quits.

That a believer quit church. Quit reading the Bible.

Quit praying in the Spirit. It blows my mind.

Because they have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of strength.

You understand the Spirit of God will strengthen you to get up

out of your bed and get you in church.

He will bring His counsel of not forsaking the assembling of

yourself together so that you can get up and come.

He will give you the strength to serve, since He's called you to

serve one another. Well, you know, I've served the

church. For 10 years, you know I'm going

to retire. I don't have any more strength.

So you lost the Holy Ghost? I mean, I don't know.

How a believer when someone comes and asks them, hey, we

have a need, can you do this? Say Nah.

The first response it should. Be you know what, I will take it

under consideration. I mean, I understand not

everybody can do everything, but sometimes when there's a need

and we happen to hit a deficit in an area because of whatever

the case may be, we need a next man up.

And when it's time for the next man.

Up next woman up then you need to dig deep, get the spirit of

strength on you and say, you know what, I'm not called to it.

I understand this is not, but at this point because it's

necessary, I'll trust God He'll strengthen me to be at A7 in the

gap for this time period. Amen.

I mean, that's like second string quarterback sitting on

the bench, the first string goes down and they say you're going

in. I'm no, no.

You mean though you know I? Haven't got enough snaps.

In fact, if if you cared so much about me, I'd already be first.

You really don't value me anyway, boy.

I mean you know how many people are not serving a church right

now because they don't think they're valued?

You don't know who you are because God values you.

Your if your values coming from me.

That's the problem. You're a self seeker and there's

way more evil going on than what you want to believe.

I'm just saying man, when when someone goes down and you have a

talent OR ability, you should say man, here I am coach put me

in. It may not be long term, but I'm

here to serve during and. Then believe with us.

To get your replacement. Hallelujah.

So that's what strength will do. Ephesians 10/6 says this.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might,

which tells us no believer should be quitting because even

the Bible declares when I'm weak, he makes me strong.

So if you're still weak, you're resisting the one who makes you

strong. And one way that you may be.

Resisting him is that you're not praying in the Spirit enough,

building up your most holy faith so that you can get the joy of

the Lord, which is your the reason why many believers aren't

doing anything today because they have no joy.

They quit listening. To the magistrate, they said you

need to get a smile on your face.

You need to smile. You need to laugh a little bit.

You need to quit having the spirit of heaviness.

You know, let. Me slap you with.

All the gladness a little bit, right?

Can I? Can I just now?

Here's the thing. There are.

Some churches that think the Holy Ghost only moves when

people are laughing. And all they're doing is waiting

for that. Service so everybody can just

start laughing and go around and hit this person and they laugh

and hit that person and they laugh and hit that person.

You know, sometimes I'm like in some people's ministry, I'm

like, my gosh, they go to some of the weakest people ever that

they've constantly have to get them.

Enjoy. I told you I'm not.

I'm not like. Pastor, you know, people just

eat things. I'm like, how come every time

you're with a group that's supposed to be the most

spiritual all? We do is fall on the.

Floor and laugh all the time. Do you really believe that When?

Jesus walked the planet that his disciples were rolling around

laughing all the time. And I'm not against laughing

and. Rolling and having fun.

I mean I have rolled with the best.

I've laughed. I mean I'm a person who will get

in. I'll get in not feeling nothing,

jumping. I'll go test the waters people.

I mean I'm the Brother Hagin. I jumped off in the flesh, which

mean I by faith. That doesn't mean when Brother

Hagin said I jumped off in the flesh and I landed in the spirit

that he was being fleshly to do something fleshly.

What he was saying is I sensed in my spirit, but I didn't feel

it. It wasn't tangible, the

anointing. But when I jumped off, the

anointing hit me. And that becomes an actual

feeling because when the anointing gets on you to that

kind of measure, you get it, You know, it's different.

I. Get that and I'll.

And I'll ask we laughing today because if we are, I'm in it

but. If this is just because.

People are making the minister move.

And they're performing. Well, maybe I'm not.

Now Pastor Lynette Hagan. Taught us a lesson back in the

backroom, she said. Now you'll notice if I don't.

Think that they're flowing with. The Spirit, right?

I'll just stay seated. Whoo I'm.

Going to tell you right now, if I'm at Raymond, one of those

services and I'm getting a little check myself, I start to

eyeball what's Pastor Lynette doing right now because I've

never seen a couple in more integrity of wanting a true

authentic move of the Spirit. And Pastor Hagen and his wife,

Pastor Lynette? I've never seen one better.

Pastor Hagen. God love him, every year has to

come up to the platform and let them know that the services

should be different. They're probably going to be

different. And please do not associate one

style as the only way God moves. And I'm like, man, these are

Ramaphobe. Why are we having to explain so

much? Hallelujah.

All right, that's my little side note.

Let's go on so we can finish. The last one is knowledge.

Proverbs 17 says this. The fear of the Lord is the

beginning of knowledge. Bulls despise wisdom and

instruction. Well now we have 3, you know

four of them right there in this one sentence.

We have the spirit of the fear of the Lord, the spirit of

knowledge, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of instruction, right

of counsel. OK, so we have this in this

passage. Now the fear of the Lord's a big

deal, because what does fear of the Lord does?

The fear of the Lord will cause you to yield.

First of all, when you have the spirit of the Lord, which means

you're supreme and authority, and I am not going to tell you

what to do, then you have the fear of the Lord.

I do not want to do anything to displease you.

Everything sandwiched in between becomes easy to yield to.

And then you're not actually. Manipulated either.

Are you hearing me OK? Knowledge is founded on the

fellowship of love. Very important.

OK, this is not. And when we say knowledge, we're

not talking facts. We're talking knowledge of the

attributes and plans. That's the mind and will of God

the Father. And we're talking knowledge.

Really, it's like what Paul said in the book of Philippians

Philippians 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3. He said I want to know him.

So these are not. Trivia.

Trivia knowledge, this is not, you know, what were the three

people in that were thrown into fiery furnace?

What were their names? What were their Hebrew names?

Did Adam have a belly button? Right.

OK, we're not talking about knowledge that way.

We're talking about knowing him. In fact, this word I want to

know him has this definition sexual intercourse between a man

and wife, which means intimacy. So.

Paul. Was saying I want to know him

intimately. I want to know how he thinks,

how he functions, how he moves, what he's thinking, how he's

acting, how he responds. I want to know his character so.

We're talking about the knowledge of God.

This. Is what we're talking about.

We're not talking about a set of facts that you, the religious,

can shoot off at the mouth about.

We're talking about knowing him. Proverbs 810 says this.

Take my instruction and not silver and knowledge rather than

choice gold. This is why I said, look, so

many people are pursuing Mammon, but they don't even know who I

am. Again, all of.

US can go to a football game, and if anyone went to

Gainesville and watch that game that was a Gator fan, they left

sorely depressed. In fact, it.

Was so bad if I had still if I still had a Florida Gator tag on

my vehicle I would have ripped it off and drove here illegally.

That's how. Embarrassing, that was.

OK, that's how embarrassing that it is, coach hunting season for

the University of Florida. All right, with that being said,

don't get upset if that's a problem, you can come repent

later because I was born. In Gainesville.

You know, I used to bleed orange and blue.

I don't anymore because I'm I'm not a follower nor am I even a

fan. I'm just a casual acquaintance

and I will not express emotional energy at horrible play.

OK, so with that. Being said.

We pursue things. Are you hearing me?

We pursue things, yet the Lord's like come know me.

You know how many hours we will chase money and work for money

but will not do the same to know him?

And here's the thing, it's not a equal amount.

If I do 8 hours of work, I got to do 8 hours trying to seek God

for it to equate the same. That's not how it works.

When you go after God you can get things in a blip of a second

and download more than you could have done working 5 jobs 1000

hours a week. Which is impossible.

But you understand what I'm saying.

OK, Proverbs 12/1. Whoever loves discipline loves

knowledge. But the one who hates where

proof. Is is what you said it.

I didn't but. Actually, you didn't say it.

Who? Said it, the Lord said.

Are you calling me stupid? No, God is.

God is. Which?

Means if I meet with you. And I say you're stupid right

now. I could be speaking the voice.

Of God now you won't give the right counsel when you leave.

Patrick called me stupid, you know He called me stupid.

Did you call them stupid? I called them stupid.

You know why? Because they hated reproof.

I gave them solid. Counsel by the spirit of

counsel. And they hated the reproof.

Say Amen anyway. Hallelujah.

OK, that was good. Who said anyway?

Do you? Every time you're.

Literal Oh you're such a sweet guy.

Though whoever loves. Discipline loves.

Loves what? Which tells us this.

If you do not love discipline, guess what?

You're not receiving. You're not intimate with Him

because you can't be intimate with God without discipline

coming. What did the father say to?

Abraham, he said. Look.

Or to Moses, No one has ever seen me.

You came. See me?

You're going to die. What I'm going to do is I'm

going to put you in the cleft of this rock, right?

And then I'm going to pass by and see my back parts, OK?

Because he like, show me your glory, Lord, he said.

Bro, Nah, Nah. You get get close to me.

So much correction be going on in you.

You die. You know, this is really why

people have a. Hard time with a real church,

the church Jesus is building, you know it's.

Easy to go to a church that won't.

Ever correct you, but again, if you're really going to be in the

presence of God. Corrections coming.

You know. And at least the Army.

Convinced us make it hurt, drill Sergeant, make it hurt, right.

What's you know in my confession was like no leave me alone let

me get up right now you know and when we first started they'd be

down doing push ups, I'd be down put on push ups and they would

smoke us. They said you can't smoke a

rock, can't smoke a rock, can't smoke.

Come on how many of my army guys are here?

Stand up, can't smoke a rock, can't smoke a rock right stand

up. I said stand up.

Y'all knew how to take orders at one time apparently right?

How many times you like now you know as well as I do.

At the end of basic they started to trick us and they put 1 drill

Sergeant down and you're like oh here we go bro, I'm going to

smoke the rock because I got it in me right?

And then he would get up or she well if you were in the female,

you know, platoon I didn't have in AIT I had a female but I

didn't have one in basic anyway. Then they would throw the other

guy in who's fresh that would start.

Can't smoke around. I'm like, if you'd have been

down 60 push ups earlier, we'd be having another conversation

as I'm at 8085 now, still trying to pursue knocking you out.

Right? All right, don't be seated.

But we got stronger as we. Went Amen, but you had to like

discipline and it made. You intimate.

With the one who was bringing you the discipline.

Ephesians 117 says this that I that the God of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the Father of glory may give to you the spirit of what

we've talked about that one and of revelation in what the

knowledge of the knowledge of him man we need to know him.

I said we need to know him. Philippians 19 says it this way

and this. I pray that your love may abound

still more and more in in what real knowledge and in all

discernment that can, that implies there can be not real

knowledge. Really, it would just be trivia.

It would be like having a baseball card and you know the

facts. You know this player did this,

that and the other, but you don't know them.

They've never seen your face. You're wearing all their

apparel. You go to the game, you think

you would be that person's twin, but they don't even know you

exist. And you may have seen them face

to. Face and they may have said hey

to you, and they may have given you an autograph, but you don't

know them. And this is how we treat the

Lord. We want to get in His presence,

watch his game, but yet He doesn't know us.

But we really don't want to know.

Now He knows us, but we don't want to know Him.

Colossians 110 says so that you may walk in a manner what we're

the other Lord to please him in all respect, bearing fruit in

every good work, increasing, say increasing in the knowledge of

God. Man, we need to increase in

God's knowledge. Hallelujah.

And guess what? We have the Spirit of knowledge.

That means God has given us His Spirit that will let us become

intimate with Him. But we have to spend.

Time. You know I said this before our

last verse is John 1526, but you know that I said this before the

Lord spoke to me one time and he said, Son, if you spend as much

time with your wife as you do with me, you wouldn't be married

very long. I go to church.

I knew some things about God. But I wasn't with him and.

Again, it's not hour. For hour, minute, for minute,

but. When I'm with my wife, I want to

be with. My wife.

I want to cultivate the relationship.

I want to know her. I want to know everything about

her. And I can tell you stuff.

That I'm not, because I tell you too much now as it is.

But we should have even more knowledge of the.

Father in heaven and when you do.

Know him that way, how can you ever abandoned him?

How can he be like I'm? Not whatever you're like.

Running to be in his. Presence running to be in

fellowship. Last verse of John 1526.

Worship team, would you come? Now I'm going to say this

because. Jesus introduced the Holy Spirit

and this one phrase sums up the seven spirits of God and.

When the helper comes. Whom I will send to you from the

Father, that is the. Spirit of Truth.

You understand the Spirit of Truth is the sum total of all

seven of those spirits. When the Holy Spirit comes, he.

Is truth. He is truth.

He will proceed from the Father, and he will what testify about

me. He is the spirit of intellect.

He's here to renew your mind. He's here to change your

thinking. He's here to tell you that's not

right. You're not that person.

This is who you are and this is what you can do.

And he's waiting for you to say. Yes, Lord.

I'll accept that.
