Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
-
from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now, enjoy this message. So if you have your Bibles turn
-
over to Genesis chapter one Genesis chapter one.
-
I'm really excited about this message tonight.
-
Fact, it started to grow them, like I could do this in two but
-
we won't But we won't. I want to talk to you about
-
Kingdom Foundation, okay? Because if your foundation is
-
not right, I don't care what you build.
-
This irrelevant, I don't care what you are, building.
-
It is coming down if the foundation is not right.
-
Are you hearing me? So look what it says here in
-
Genesis 1. Verse 1 in the beginning God
-
created the heavens and the Earth First to the Earth was
-
formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep
-
and the who spirit of God was moving over the surface of the
-
water. Then God said, so in these three
-
verses is the trinity Okay. God is the father.
-
There's God the father in the beginning God, okay?
-
But God also is the holy spirit. We see the spirit of God.
-
He's moving around. But what's he doing?
-
He's doing nothing the. Holy spirit's just hovering just
-
hanging out why? Cuz he's waiting.
-
I said he's waiting. And what's he waiting on the
-
word? The Holy Spirit does not move
-
outside. The word doesn't happen.
-
He does not do it. He does not get, he does not try
-
to correct anything with the Earth.
-
Without the word, he just hovers.
-
I said, he hovers. I said he hovers, I said he
-
hovers. So we see right here in the
-
first three chapters that there is ranking structure.
-
And we've talked about this in one of our Leadership Lessons on
-
Wednesday night, how the chain of command is in the godhead,
-
right? The chain of command is in the
-
guy had, there's God the Father God, the son, God the Holy
-
Spirit and although there are three One.
-
They are still in a rank because Jesus himself when he was on the
-
planet, which is the word in the flesh said, I don't speak
-
anything on my own initiative. I only say what I hear now,
-
who's he listening to the father?
-
So Jesus is saying, I don't I don't decide what to do.
-
I'm not the one calling the shots.
-
I'm not the one in control. I'm listening to the father.
-
Are you hearing me now? If we go and jump over to John
-
16:13, we see this. Jesus says, however, when he the
-
spirit of truth, that's the Holy Spirit has come, he will guide
-
you into all truth. Now, previous to that he says, I
-
got little many more things. I love to tell you, but you're
-
not able to Bear them, right? And he also said this even a
-
little bit further up in this chapter, he says, it's to your
-
advantage that I go, so that he can come.
-
But now when he comes, what's he going to do for he?
-
Because it's not an it nor bird, but he shall not speak of
-
himself. Right, he's not gonna do it.
-
So, in essence, the Holy Ghost is not saying I did that.
-
Look at my power, look at what I do.
-
Look at how I did that, look at how I did that, he doesn't do
-
that. He doesn't talk about himself,
-
right, but whatever he what here's he shall.
-
So, what's he saying? He's only saying what he hears
-
from Jesus. He only communicates things that
-
he's hearing from Jesus and Jesus.
-
His only saying things he's hearing from the father, that's
-
how it works and it doesn't work any other way.
-
With God, I said with God. Now, how important is the word
-
then? Well, look what it says in
-
Psalms 183, verse to the modern King James version, says that
-
this way, I will worship toward your Holy Temple and praise your
-
name for your loving kindness and for your truths sake for you
-
have magnified, your above all your name, notice what it
-
doesn't say. It doesn't say, I've magnified
-
your spirit. Doesn't say I magnified.
-
Your spirit says, I magnified your word because the spirits
-
doing nothing. Unless the word is talking.
-
I'm talking the Holy Spirit. The holy spirit's not doing a
-
thing. He cannot do a thing other than
-
what he hears, the word say and he says you magnified, your word
-
above all your name, which the most important thing to God, the
-
father is, the word is the word because he wants all of his
-
creation to know that the thing that I value the most Is my word
-
and I keep it. I keep it.
-
So he magnifies not his Spirit not as power.
-
But his word, cause any his word is power, and it is where it is
-
Authority. But without his word, Are you
-
hear me? Let's look at Psalms Windows 7
-
verse 2. He sent his what word and healed
-
them and delivered them from all their destruction.
-
He sent his. What did he send his Spirit?
-
Now, I'm not saying the spirit is not coming with the word
-
because, again, the spirit is obligated Obligated to do
-
whatever the word says. Now, brother Hagin used to say
-
this when it comes to the gifts of the Spirit, he says, now we
-
separate the gifts of the Spirit for the sake of teaching.
-
He said, you know, many times people come to me and say, which
-
is the most, you know, important or powerful gift.
-
He says it's the one that's needed at the time.
-
I like that because really he was dealing with selfish and
-
lustful people. That wanted to function and
-
power but not act through the gifts and bring attention to
-
themselves. Because they saw brother Hagin
-
operate under the gifts but he wasn't trying to perform.
-
All he was doing was listening to the spirit that he knew would
-
speak the word. And he would act on that word
-
that then would be performed by that Spirit by the spirit are
-
the gift that the spirit of God gave.
-
So again, in when we talk about the word in the spirit, we say
-
this in the realm of separating for the sake of teaching, but
-
the word of God, Is inseparable from the holy spirit because the
-
holy spirit, always does the word.
-
Always. But the Holy Spirit, does it
-
perform without the foundation doesn't happen?
-
I said it doesn't happen. Now, other Spirits function
-
without the word And can perform to a degree.
-
This can happen. but the word itself and the Holy Spirit,
-
they're inseparable, And the Holy Spirit is not functioning
-
without the foundation of the word.
-
It's not going to happen. John 1:1 says it this way.
-
Then in the beginning was the, and the Word was with God.
-
And the Word was verse 14, and the word became.
-
What's his name? Come on, what's his name and
-
dwelt among us? And we saw his glory, the glory
-
of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth.
-
Again, he sent his go back to songs, 107, he sent his word So
-
whenever there's a issue ever in humanity, guess what, he sends
-
his word, you need the word on the matter.
-
You don't need anything else because the mini you get the
-
word that actually comes from the King, then the power of the
-
spirit is available to perform it, but if you don't have the
-
word, if you don't have it. Then if you're trying to gain
-
access to the spirit outside of the knowledge of the word,
-
you're opening up other doors. You're opening up other doors.
-
See, the synturion was known as a man of great faith.
-
He said, Jesus said he's in all actually, he said, wow, I've not
-
seen such great. Faith said, he marveled, I've
-
not seen such great faith. No, not in all of Israel.
-
Why did he say that about the Centurion?
-
Because the synturion said in Matthew, 8, 80 said this.
-
But the sure Tyrion said, Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come
-
under my roof. Adjust Say the word, not do some
-
powerful thing. Send me your spirit.
-
Come on now. he said, just say the word and my servant will be
-
because if you talk the powers there when you talk to powers
-
are because he's then he goes on he says because I'm a man just
-
like you, I'm a man under Authority in a man in Authority.
-
When I tell my servant to go, he goes on to tell him to come, he
-
come, when it's time to do this, he does it you will never
-
function in Spiritual Authority, if you cannot be submitted.
-
It's never going to happen. It's never going to happen.
-
I said, it's never going to happen.
-
It's not as long as your rebellious to any form of
-
submission. That's out there because there's
-
many forms, there's many forms, all of us are functioning in
-
some form of submission. Everyone in this room is under
-
the submission of God, we can all say that.
-
But, you know, how many people say?
-
That's the only one I'm submitted to well, that's why
-
you have no Authority, and that's why you're going to be
-
opening yourself up. Up to demonic spirits.
-
Because there are other authorities, you understand, if
-
you're married, there's this emission their wives.
-
You have to submit to your husband.
-
And if you're not willing to do that, you're not having
-
Spiritual Authority. Even if your submitted to God.
-
Now, when I say that, I'm not saying that.
-
If your husband says, you're never gonna go to church, you
-
can never read the Bible that you're like, I gotta surrender.
-
My husband, do you submit to God first?
-
But if your husband is not violating scripture, And if he
-
has an opinion about how to spend the money, you can still
-
submit. Unless he says, you can't tie,
-
then you can find your own table and you take care of because,
-
that violates God, but if he's like, we're not gonna buy this
-
car. We're gonna buy this one.
-
And you could be right, your cars better.
-
But you yield, how about your employer?
-
Submit to your manager. Are you hearing me?
-
What about here? Let me say this.
-
This is when we get in the most trouble submitting to your own
-
word, This is why I said swear to your own hurt because again,
-
some people aren't some people own their own businesses, which
-
means that you're going to say, you're going to do something,
-
right? You say, you're going to do
-
something and then all of a sudden, they do something to you
-
or whatever you like. I do, you're not submitting to
-
your own word. Now, you're going to lose your
-
Authority because the minute you don't value words, period.
-
Hallelujah. How about to your pastor?
-
at the end of the day, I understand there's abuse of this
-
abuse everywhere but don't act like just because there's AB,
-
you somewhere that everybody's being abusive But I'll even go
-
further than that. David King.
-
David? Whose anointed king still
-
submitted to the king? Who did have the anointing?
-
Because he understood the anointing and remain submitted
-
until God took care of the one that was off.
-
And you know what? It gave him power.
-
It caused him to conquer his enemy because he actually didn't
-
want to kill the one. That was trying to catch Lee
-
kill him. Hallelujah.
-
And if we can't do this kind of submission, Well then we're not
-
going to really be listening to the Holy Ghost.
-
Jesus, you've heard us say this, it Bears repeating Jesus has
-
always been second. He's never not been, which means
-
for all eternity. Since God's been, which is
-
always, he's never one time. Has he ever thought I want to
-
take Dad's thrown over? He's seated at the right hand
-
knot on top of daddy. He's at the right hand of the
-
he's never once. Save well, Lucifer couldn't take
-
it but I could take the throne. So, never in the godhead has
-
someone tried to get out of rank.
-
The only person who's ever tried to get out of rank, was the
-
devil initially and then man did.
-
So, the menaced submission becomes a challenge for you in
-
any of your relationships. Then what you're doing is,
-
you're hindering your ability to stay with the word and stay on a
-
firm foundation, which now opens you up to hearing other things.
-
Why do I say this? Because Acts 1:8 in the new
-
dispensation, this position of the church is amazing how far
-
we've gotten off, right? Because it says this, but Jesus.
-
Now Jesus says this, but you shall receive what power when
-
the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my
-
Witnesses. Both in Jerusalem in Judea
-
Samaria. And even to the most parts of
-
the earth now, notice back over in, John, he breathed on his
-
disciples to receive the holy spirit, so they had the Holy
-
Spirit within their born again. But now he's saying now, he'll
-
also come upon you and he's gonna bring your power.
-
Meaning there are things that he's going to say hearing from
-
me that then he's asking you to function in and he'll bring the
-
power. But again, you cannot have that
-
power without having that word. Because again, why do you
-
receive power in the first place to be?
-
My now, Witnesses, is someone who has first?
-
It has an account of something specifically, again, if a
-
situation is going on in your kids lives, right?
-
And one comes in and begins to say, as you know.
-
So, and so said, well, you again you're trying to find somebody
-
else that can verify I was there.
-
I I heard it. I saw it.
-
Right. So what Jesus says, now the
-
reason we have power so that you can be my which means you heard
-
it. Because at the end of the day
-
outside of us, seeing a vision, Like Paul.
-
I was caught up into the third heaven, right?
-
Or an angel talking to us which in any occasion whether you
-
literally go into an open Vision where you see things in the
-
spirit or whether an angel stands in front of you.
-
You see it in all aspects. It's still waiting to hear
-
something. And it's when you hear that
-
you're supposed to stand on that word and the word you here has
-
to be in line with the word bury it.
-
The word of God but so many people just want Power.
-
Power. This is why there's so many
-
occults out there because again, they want Power.
-
They want to function in power. See, Moses have this challenge
-
when he first came as the voice of God to Pharaoh.
-
Because what did he tell? What had God tells Moses?
-
He said, you will be God to pharaoh and Aaron's going to be
-
your profit. Now, how can Aaron even be a
-
prophet? Cause he says, because you don't
-
think you talk. Well, you're gonna tell Aaron
-
and then Aaron's going to tell Pharaoh Aaron.
-
Don't talk if he hasn't heard the word from Moses.
-
This is why the word is, the foundation of everything we do.
-
It's got to be our first love. It's what we got to love the
-
most Jesus even rebuked the church.
-
He said, you've lost your first because you know what?
-
They've quit loving the word. We got to be people who love the
-
work when you love the word, then the whole godhead is opened
-
up to you and the kingdom of God is opened up to you because all
-
you want is the word. Because here's the thing, at the
-
end of the day, if you do the word and I do, The word then we
-
are going to have perfect unity and walk in perfect love and no
-
other power has to even dim and he demonstrated these things
-
that happened super naturally offered to gain people's
-
attention for what purpose so they can be hearers.
-
And doers of the word, what did James say, he said, be what
-
doers of the word not workers of the miraculous?
-
Now, that doesn't mean you won't worth the miraculous when you
-
are doers of the word, but your priority has to be.
-
I'm a word person. This is what I loved about
-
brother Hagin, because he would get cornered on so many
-
occasions, and his son has testified to this and his
-
grandson has testified at this that when people began to come
-
to him and basically, you're trying to manipulate him for a
-
word. He would say, what does the
-
Bible say? Because he was a lover of the
-
word. Love of the word.
-
Why is this important? Look at Matthew 7:21.
-
I'm going to show you this in a way you've probably never seen
-
it. Matthew 7:21 227 because the
-
kingdom Foundation is the word Heaven and Earth will.
-
But my Will never pass away. Right, he said, I will fulfill
-
my word. I will cross every T and Dot
-
every i--. Right, my word shall not return
-
unto me. Okay.
-
He said, not everyone who says, to me.
-
Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
-
does who, what does the will of my father?
-
Who is in heaven? Now, how do you do the will of
-
God, he gives you his word and you, that's it.
-
Many will say to me on that day, Lord Lord did not, did we not
-
what do we do and how did they prophesy?
-
They used his name They used his name.
-
Didn't we prophesy in your, in your name?
-
What do they do? In your name.
-
Perform? What?
-
What do they do? Whoo.
-
It miracle workers in the name of Jesus and now, look, what
-
Jesus is going to say. Then I'll declare to them.
-
I never knew you. Oh my, it's getting quiet.
-
Don't let it get quiet. He said, then I declare them.
-
I never knew you depart from me, you who practice, which tells me
-
they were able to tap into a spiritual realm, you think the
-
name of Jesus? And yes, something other than
-
the Holy Spirit was working. Now, why do I know this?
-
Let's go look at what he goes on and says this.
-
Therefore everyone who hears these come on now these what
-
come on these? What words of mine and acts on
-
them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the
-
now. Notice how he just goes right
-
into this conversation, he sent out a foundation.
-
As you got to be a lover of the word, that all you care about is
-
no one the word. That's all you care about.
-
That's all you care about. You love the word and when I say
-
that, that means you actually love the king.
-
Because again, Jesus is the word.
-
You can't love the Holy Spirit more than Jesus.
-
This is where Pentecostal and charismatic churches get off
-
because they love the working of the spirit.
-
More than they do the word. And this is where churches that
-
and I'll get to it here in a minute.
-
They will have scripture but they will not allow the spirit
-
to move. Right man.
-
Because again, what are they trying to do?
-
Because their concerns some other Spirit would move and a no
-
other Spirit can move separate from the word of God.
-
If it's the word of God, cause when the word of God's
-
functioning, the holy spirit's functioning What did Jesus say?
-
He said that if a man's child came to him and asked for bread,
-
would he give him a stone? And he goes you know he gives an
-
example, he said and if you being evil know how to give good
-
gifts, how much more shall the Holy Spirit?
-
Give you or the father, give you the spirit.
-
Now again, it's according to his Why is the holy spirit?
-
Even get Jesus out of the Grave because he spoke it.
-
He said in three days, I'll come up.
-
So the Holy Ghost got got to go get him.
-
If Jesus said, I'm coming up into, guess what?
-
Holy Ghost would have been into because I didn't Holy Ghost
-
going to Did he not have power to raise him up in the second
-
day? You know, I powder raise him up
-
on the first date. Sure, he did.
-
Why didn't he come on the fourth because he's not late?
-
He said there's an appointment, the word is spoken.
-
I'll be there, I got a sec, three days, the Holy Ghost, a
-
stress, and he's drinking coffee on the great top.
-
Just hold on. No problem.
-
No issue. You know?
-
No stress. There was no stress in heaven.
-
Nobody stressing out only gonna sister, right, but got 12 more
-
hours. I'll be there in 12 hours.
-
Amen. Why cause the holy spirit's come
-
perform? The work but it says therefore
-
everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them, may be
-
compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock and the
-
rain fell and the floods came and the winds and the winds, and
-
the winds, and the winds blew and slammed against the house
-
and it did not fall for it. Have been on what on What, who
-
is The Rock? Who's the chief Cornerstone?
-
It's why you gotta found your life on the word.
-
Are you hearing me? But look what he says in verse
-
26. Everyone who hears these words
-
of mine and does not act on them.
-
Will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
-
The rain fell, the floods came and the the what and the what
-
and the what winds blew and slammed against the house.
-
And it fell and great was the fall.
-
Now I'm gonna show you something you've probably never seen
-
before, okay? In the Bible, we see in Genesis
Genesis 2 chapter mention
-
chapter 2, when God made Man In His Image corn, his likeness.
-
He made him out of the Dust of the earth.
-
Leave that up there for a minute.
-
He breathe on him, the breath of life and he became a Living
-
spirit, right? Jesus then in John chapter 21
John 21 chapter mention
-
when he tells them to receive the Holy Spirit.
-
What did he do? He breathed on them.
-
Then, when the Holy Spirit came upon them on the day of
-
Pentecost, it said he came in like a mighty rushing wind.
-
So wind has been associated with The Holy Spirit.
-
But you know what? There other Spirits could it be
-
that he is saying here in this that when your word when the
-
worst founded, when the rain comes, that's things of, you
-
know, in the earth when there's natural challenges and issues.
-
But when winds come, when seducing Spirits, when other
-
voices, try to blow into your mind.
-
When you're on the Rock, they won't penetrate cause you're
-
like that ain't of God, that's not what the word says.
-
That's not how the character of God, if that's not how the
-
spirit of God would respond. Because the word says, this is
-
how he is. But the one who doesn't have
-
their house, founded on the word of God, when the winds blow,
-
Wendy's, familiar, spirits, come and these other things begin to
-
talk to us. Well, guess what we're
-
entertaining and it means great is the fall.
-
While the only person reason why a Believer can fall in the first
-
place is because they're not founded on the word.
-
Not on it. I mean we have word and spirit
-
conferences. We have Holy Ghost meetings, we
-
have all these things everybody that wears the Miracles it's
-
like we have a lust For miracles. when I have the king,
-
And where I go to Kinko's and whatever the king says is all
-
that matters, the king walked into a place called the pool of
-
Bethesda. Where there are sick people
-
everywhere. This guy is Anointed of God with
-
the Holy Ghost. I mean power from Heaven exudes
-
from his being yet. He goes to one man.
-
Left the rest, their love walked on the porch.
-
Because he didn't come onto the porch to perform.
-
He came onto the porch to do exactly what he heard, the
-
father say. And there was one man. that he
-
said, you go talk to And you go Hill and then leave the porch.
-
Jesus gets in front of King Herod and was King Herod say woo
-
show me something bro I've heard about you show me something.
-
What the word do? What's the word full of power?
-
Was a full? Was the word anointed of God?
-
Look how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth.
-
Who went around doing good. And healing all who were
-
oppressed of the devil, was he kicking the devil's?
-
But in all kind of regions was he casting out Devils Healing
-
The Sick. Raising the dead.
-
Now, he's standing in front of the King King Herod.
-
He says, come on. Show me something.
-
He's like, In essence, the word never has to prove his power.
-
Because he is power. So, he's never in the position
-
of having to show off. Nor performing Kenneth E, Hagin
-
talk to a when the miracle revivals were going on in the
-
earth, you know, 30s 40s, and 50s during the healing revivals.
-
There was one particular prominent Minister and I can't
-
tell you his name off the top of my head right now.
-
So Mike, if y'all remember anybody gets it, just shout it
-
out. Okay?
-
But anyway, he went to him and he said, listen.
-
He says you. Are building your ministry on
-
the gifts and all the word fact he told most of The Minister's
-
is at a different time. Don't build your ministry on the
-
gifts, you build it on the word. He said, if you don't do this
-
then I'm going to be here long after you're gone and he allow
-
outlasted all of them. Secondly, he said one to one
-
very specific Ministry says he says one night you're here in
-
the Holy Ghost, the next night, you're entertaining, Spirits
-
unit familiar spirits, you need to quit it.
-
And this is what the minister said I have to because the crowd
-
expects me to perform. Hey Alan.
-
Hey, Alice Ministry went They left.
-
Why? Because he wanted the people to
-
think he Had the power of the boy.
-
Hey bro. You He-Man people out there See,
-
when you're confident in the word, you just come out and do
-
what the word says. Period.
-
Because you're not there to do anything else.
-
If the word wants you to talk, you talk.
-
If the word wants you to you know, lay hands on someone, so
-
they're healed, you do that. If the word wants you to
-
prophesy you prophesied the word wants you to give a word of
-
knowledge. You do that by the spirit but
-
you do nothing outside of that. I never come off the platform
-
ever feeling like something else should happen.
-
Because I'm not here to show you the power that God gave me.
-
Because there's any power that shows up is only because God
-
wanted to do it that day. Now, why do I say this?
-
Well, because problems happen when we don't love the word for,
-
this is why I don't understand. Let me just say it, this way,
-
this is why aggravate church had become one of a very strong
-
Church in the Earth. Because when I tell pastor Don
-
night, wow, your people seem to be so engaged in connecting A.A.
-
What it, what are you doing? And I said, you're not gonna
-
like my answer. I tell them every you're not
-
gonna lie, my answer, I'll come on now.
-
Seriously. Tell me.
-
I said well we actually Read the Bible.
-
This is why I have a Bible, reading plan.
-
Now, listen, if you're a person who has a hard time reading, you
-
need to learn how to read, it's a cop-out for you.
-
Not to learn how to read, Smith Wigglesworth was illiterate.
-
And yet, God was able to turn on his mind.
-
That the only book, The Man read was the Bible and he loved the
-
word. So again, when you love the
-
word, think yes, miracles, signs and wonders can follow you and
-
will follow you. But the question is is how many
-
do you have to have? For you to feel validated
-
because if there's something that has to be happening all the
-
time with you, well, guess what? You don't love the word anymore.
-
because here's the thing, when we read scripture, we have
-
Consolidated accounts. You don't know time frames that
-
have gone by. Now I get it.
-
The crowds follow Jesus and and Lux Lux admin, if we are John
-
man, if we wrote everything that Jesus did, I don't even know if
-
we could get enough books, I get it.
-
I understand that, I realize that, but here's the thing,
-
you're not Jesus. Now you're in Christ and you're
-
part of the body, which means when you do your part, I do my
-
part, you start putting all of our things together that God
-
uses Us by the spirit to do some very Supernatural things.
-
We guess what we're doing a whole lot.
-
Not together. But people want to be the one
-
doing it. Oh, they're not lovers of the
-
word. Emma, tell you, it can happen to
-
chapter 9. This is why I'm preaching this
-
because, you know what? As much as I've God is opening
-
up opportunities for anchor, Faith Church as a congregation.
-
To impact in not the city and patination influence the word
-
world, we no matter how large we ever get and no matter how many
-
miracles get performed if we will not be adamant to love the
-
word. Then there's a problem.
-
And as your pastor, I have one assignment to keep pointing you
-
to Jesus, which is the same thing.
-
The Holy Spirit does because I'm not impressed with your tongue.
-
Talking. Would you Angel see you with
-
your so-called prophesied? I'm not impressed with none of
-
it. I don't give a rip, don't care,
-
I don't care. I mean, nothing's impressive
-
why? Because if anything's actually
-
happening it was God anyway. And it sure what you and if I
-
don't even see some kind of thankfulness Or layers of
-
submission happening that. I know you're entertaining
-
something else and it happened in the fulfilling of the days of
-
him taken up. He steadfastly set his face to
-
go to Jerusalem and he sent Messengers before his face and
-
he went and entered into the Villages of the Samaritans to
-
make ready for him. And they did not receive him
-
because his face was going to Jerusalem and seeing his
-
disciples James and John. Now, there were three That's all
-
things more than the other. James, John, and who.
-
So this is the top three people, two of the top three James, and
-
John said, Lord. Do you desire that we command
-
fire to come down from heaven and consume them even as Elijah?
-
Do you know what they've read about the worse of Elijah?
-
They know his exploits. They know he did.
-
So you know what took place in them right now the lust To be
-
like the Prophet Elijah because you know, it's been prophesied
-
that the spirit of Elijah is coming.
-
Before the king comes, the spirit of Elijah is coming.
-
The spirit of Elijah is coming to Spirit of Elijah is coming
-
now. You know, Jesus said now, if you
-
know, just feared Elijah was actually John the and you know
-
what's about John? The Baptist he performed
-
Miracles, not a dog on want them raise.
-
Nobody from the dead. Did not prophesy one doggone
-
bit. He did not cast The Devil out.
-
He had the greatest honor and if that Jesus called him, the
-
greatest Prophet, the greatest Prophet, who did the least
-
miraculous, What did he do? Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven
-
is at hand. He became the prophet who Harold
-
the Kings. Hear the Kings, hear the Kings,
-
hear the Kings. Hear the Kings hear the Kings
-
here, all he had was a word and God said, man, he's the best
-
profit that's ever been on the planet.
-
Wow. But these boys wanted to be like
-
Elijah. Again, you've heard me say,
-
everybody wants to be Elijah Elijah.
-
Nobody wants to be Jeremiah. but I want to be Jeremiah Where
-
everything you say nobody listens and receives, right?
-
But again, you're talking to a rebellious place where
-
everybody's a rejected God. And you're the only one who's
-
actually obeying, we're not in that, dispensation Now, there
-
will be a great default in a way, don't get me wrong, but
-
there's going to be a church that's going to be called up
-
that's going to be without spot or wrinkle.
-
And man, if your people of the word then you can say we going,
-
we here and we love the word so he says, listen we deserve look.
-
Do you desire that we command fire to come down from heaven
-
and consume them even as Elijah. So again, they read the Bible,
-
they read the Scrolls, they read the scripts, they know God can
-
do this. And this is where a lot of
-
people do. They know what God can do.
-
And then they want to work what God can do without being
-
authorized to do it in the situation cause they're not
-
waiting on a and look what he says verse 55.
-
But he turned in. What did he do?
-
Rebuke them and said you do not know so that tells me the devil
-
knows what the prophets did. Other Spirits know what, the
-
prophets did going to hear me. They obviously know because
-
they're half of them are the ones being cast out by the
-
prophets. Because it's not like the
-
prophets, didn't know Jesus. Now why would they know Jesus?
-
Well because when he spoke well John 20, it isn't because the
-
the the demons recognized God in the skin suit.
-
That's not what was going. It's not like, they're like,
-
there he is. I see.
-
I see he listened, they have no idea who the guy was they've
-
been trying to kill kids ever since God said to the serpent.
-
I'm bringing my child through the Woman and there's been
-
children being murdered since that time because the devil been
-
trying to kill the seed before it comes how in the world, did
-
the devil's know that he was the son of God because of the word
-
he spoke. Because when the prophets of old
-
said thus saith the Lord, they knew the power of that word.
-
They knew the power that word and they could not resist that
-
and they had to obey it. And now here comes a guy named
-
Jesus Christ of Nazareth that when he spoke he did speak.
-
Peak, like the scribes and the Pharisees.
-
When he told all of a sudden, it sounded like Elijah and Elijah
-
and Moses. It sounded like the same people.
-
And they knew this is the Son of God right here.
-
Have you come to torment us before our time?
-
And that'll word. At a word.
-
Not at a shake. Not at a flop. but at a word,
-
the way people act, you would think that you had to be
-
abnormally, manifesting something for the Holy Ghost to
-
be there. And I, this just happened to me
-
recently. And when it did I'm like, I
-
almost get upset about be honest with you. because people like,
-
Because their hair raises. Right?
-
And all of a sudden they get goosebumps and the situation and
-
they associate that with the spirit, now the spirit can move
-
upon your body and do things. I'm not saying that it's doesn't
-
it won't and it doesn't because it will But as an external sign
-
is not always. I mean, the way some people act
-
you would think Jesus would have been shaking uncontrollably
-
while he's talking come out. you'd have thought he said, you
-
see that when I said come out what There's no evidence that he
-
did that. No, Jesus.
-
So in tuned with his father through the spirit, that he gets
-
a come out, Wow. So that tells me that if we do
-
not know here, That. All that matters is knowing the
-
word. Then I don't care how much we've
-
actually been with the word. We can hear a different spirit
-
and try to use that word to do something where God sees never
-
wanted us to do. And then we'll start to fall
-
into the category of Lord Lord. Because now, you understand,
-
when he says, didn't we prophesy in your name?
-
Didn't we cast out devils in your name?
-
Didn't we? Well, you know, what did Moses
-
hit a rock twice? With the anointed staff and get
-
it to flow. That's pretty Supernatural,
-
people. But what did the Lord have to
-
say about it? Moses.
-
You're not getting in now left. Now, getting them.
-
What you did. Not honor me in front of people.
-
You didn't do it. You didn't buy you, the word.
-
I told you more, I said speak to that thing.
-
I know last time I told you to hit it but I tell you that this
-
time, So, you went back on something, I said.
-
You hit it, didn't work and hit it again.
-
There was nothing, no earnings there to get the things to work,
-
but it's unauthorized. Because it says speak, you
-
didn't honor my word in front of people.
-
Now, who really knew that? God, Moses and Joshua.
-
And that was so important to God.
-
That he says You have just forfeited your purpose and your
-
assignment. So much so that no matter how
-
much he tried to repent, get God to let it go.
-
God said, most I'll do for you is take you here and I see all
-
that. That's the place.
-
That's the promised land. That's it.
-
That's all you're going to see. Don't talk to me again about
-
this. And what costing the The Miracle
-
Worker? What caused The Miracle Worker?
-
I mean, I'm talking about the guy who turned water into blood,
-
the guy who calls Nats to show up, who calls frogs to show up,
-
who calls Darkness to happen. I'm talking about the guy who
-
calls, oh, Red Sea to part. I'm talking about the guy who
-
threw who, who turned a side, the bad water into good water.
-
I'm talking about the guy who hit a rock once an account about
-
the guy because he quit loving the word.
-
He didn't stay on the foundation.
-
Go here and me. Now, why is this important for
-
us to talk about today? Because again, things are
-
blowing out there. A lot of voices are talking.
-
Let me tell you about familiar, spirits, familiar spirits are
-
accurate information. Accurate information doesn't
-
mean that you should be communicating.
-
Right, I'll give you a case in point Peter.
-
I mean Paul is in a city doing some things and a guy has a girl
-
that has an evil spirit, an unclean spirit.
-
Fortune telling. And they and these two guys have
-
made a lot of money off his girl.
-
Well, what is she doing? She sure ain't here in the Holy
-
Ghost, but if she relaying accurate information, this guy
-
preaches about the son of the most high for three days.
-
Finally, Paul says, shut up and come out.
-
Now why is this important? The reason this is important
-
because the last thing Paul needs after he establishes a
-
church in this area that when he does actually speak the word of
-
God and power manifest and the miraculous performs because
-
we're the preaching of the word is miracles, signs, and wonders,
-
will follow that if that would have happened.
-
Then this demonic Spirit has basically be able to get a
-
foothold in the community. And say, did not tell you when
-
Peter was it? Paul was here.
-
Didn't I tell you? You're right you're right.
-
I got something to say to you in the name of Jesus.
-
So, Paul has to deal with this because I'm not going to have a
-
demon advertise. Venture the Lord's life.
-
Shut that demon up. They're not advertising for my
-
kingdom. Because what's the Bible say
-
about the devil? Even the devil believe even
-
demons believe. Right.
-
Even they believe. So that tells us they know but
-
just because they know that me we need to get boys to what day
-
And so many people want to be able to tap into that thing
-
called a word of knowledge and a word of wisdom so bad that
-
they'll get familiar spirits to talk to them about other people.
-
And it's factual. But it's not the Holy Ghost.
-
The only way you can earnestly desire.
-
Spiritual gifts is to love the word first.
-
And be a doer of the word. Okay, but there's more second
2 Timothy 1 chapter mention
-
Timothy chapter 1 or 4, verses 1 through 4.
-
Why do we say this? It says therefore I saw only
-
witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the judge
-
of the living and the dead, according to his appearance and
-
his kingdom and we read that verse again, so this is seek
-
him. Therefore, I solemnly witness
-
before God, this is Timothy, this is Paul talking to Timothy
-
before God and the Lord Jesus Christ as the father, and the
-
son who is going to judge the living, and the dead.
-
And how is he going to judge them?
-
Them. According to his, what
-
appearing, which is the manifestation of his word and
-
his kingdom, Then what's he telling?
-
Preach the word. Cuz Lord Jesus is going to judge
-
you. So, it's the word that she
-
should be after. The first thing preach.
-
Got to know the word and if you don't know the words, you can't
-
preach the word. Because the Bible says that we
-
are to be, this is the biggest problem with the church today
-
because in the United States, we've relegated Church to
-
lecturing and that's usually one service for 30 minutes and then
-
no one's actually in the world, the rest of the time.
-
And when they are preaching for the 30 minutes is more antidote
-
achill stuff, then it is actual scripture.
-
Notice he doesn't say perform miracles.
-
Move with the spirit. Now again, if you preach the
-
word, the others are going to follow.
-
I'm not saying that, but what has to be the foundation of
-
everything you do? I just love the word preach.
-
The word be instant in season out of season.
-
What's he say? He tells them.
-
He says listen study to show yourself approved unto God.
-
A Workman who needs not to be ashamed which means then you can
-
get you can be God. Be ashamed of you.
-
Because you're a worker, not rightly dividing.
-
The word of Truth. And we don't, I mean we're not
-
most people, most Believers are not passionate about knowing the
-
word and reading the word and studying the word rightly
-
divided. He said rightly divided because
-
it already implies, it can be wrongly and some of y'all been
-
in ministries where it was Wrongly applied.
-
It lets you live in your flesh and tell you Grace was, okay.
-
Was there to cover it? Yeah, it lets you know that you
-
couldn't do anything good. Anyway, you just glad you're
-
going to heaven. It lets you stay a victim
-
instead of a Victor. It empowers you and your
-
victimhood, right? Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Lord, preach the word be instant in season out of
-
season reprove rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and
-
Doctrine. He's not what he says, for Tom
-
will for a time will be when they will not endure sound
-
Doctrine. Well, if it's not sound
-
Doctrine, then what kind of Doctrine is it?
-
Alright, but they will Heap to themselves Heap to themselves
-
teachers, according to their own, which means that I want to
-
hear the person who tells Me, I can be what I want to be.
-
And let me tell you, YouTube has helped that process, there are
-
so many profit junkies out there.
-
Teacher junkies out there. I mean, they all doing this that
-
and the other and you just Heap, I mean, whatever you want, you
-
going to find But guess why you get it cause of lust?
-
That's the route. I want to work the miraculous, I
-
want to be known in power, I want to give a word, I want to
-
be used like that. Instead of, I just love the
-
word. I just love the word time will
-
come, they won't endure sound Doctrine, but Heap to
-
themselves, teachers himself, according to their own, lusts,
-
taking the air and they will turn away their ears.
-
From the turn away means when the truth talking to them their
-
life. And they'll go talk to somebody
-
else. They'll leave sound churches for
-
unsound churches and yet say they're doing the works of God.
-
I mean the Bible says this which means this is going to happen,
-
people are going to do this. So don't be surprised when
-
there's someone, you know that you thought If Jesus would not
-
have rebuked John, and James that day, and John and James
-
love Jesus. More than the exploits of
-
Elijah. Why were the boys James and John
-
able to stay? Because they took the correction
-
of the word and rebuke them for want to do something
-
Supernatural? And they'll turn away their ears
-
from the truth and will turn to what myths that is about
-
progression. Let's go on.
-
Look at First Timothy First, Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, it
-
says this, but the spirit explicitly says that in the
-
latter times, some will fall away from the faith.
-
Paying attention paying attention, paying attention,
-
paying attention paying attention.
-
They are so engrossed. In these other voices, these
-
winds that are blowing through their minds.
-
And they're accurate factual. Because when the unclean spirits
-
been on someone, it follows them, it knows everything about
-
them, in knows what they wear. It knows how they think and
-
knows what they ate last week and they can inform you.
-
Sure can. And why do they cause they're
-
paying attention? They're paying attention.
-
They're paying attention. They want to hear everybody,
-
that tells them how they can. I mean, you understand, there's
-
people that have schools of the prophets.
-
Now, I understand the Old Testament had that.
-
And why did it? Because I don't know.
-
Any only came on the prophet priest and King and thank God.
-
There was a school of the Prophet that a major profit
-
could teach Minor Prophets. How to actually hear God.
-
Even ones that I were not hearing God anymore.
-
Like Eli. Save me.
-
Why you keep coming? Go to bed Samuel.
-
I didn't call you go to bed Samuel, Samuel.
-
Hmm, I remember that. Once there was a boy that talk
-
to me. You know what you hear that
-
voice again, say Here I Am Lord. Because he lies like because Am
-
I Wrong? My not correcting my sons.
-
My not upholding the words around my boys.
-
In the way, they were living in the temple and the things they
-
were doing with women. In the things they were doing
-
with the sacrifice of cuz I didn't hold them accountable to
-
the word but I let them go because they were my bullies, I
-
lost the capacity to hear God. Maybe God's talking to Samuel.
-
Sure enough. He talked to him and Sammy gets
-
up and Eli said now, what did the Lord say?
-
And don't you hold anything back from me because whatever he told
-
you, if you don't tell me, it's going to come on you and Sam you
-
had to fear the lord, even at that age and he said, this is
-
what he said. And he goes Yep.
-
That's the voice of God. Sakura.
-
But in this dispensation we all have the Holy Ghost.
-
Because God is like, I'm done with you.
-
Having to go to somebody and be only dependent on their ability
-
to rightly divide. Now, that doesn't mean you don't
-
have to go to somebody because he puts the fivefold ministry to
-
equip the Saints. But what he did for you is like
-
don't just take what they say, cause they say it study what
-
they say. So that you verify, what they
-
said was from me. And when you realize it was from
-
me, did you take it? Like, I spoke to you personally
-
about it. So every one of us have an
-
advantage now to hear the Holy Ghost, which means if you come
-
prophesy unto me, I'm very cordial anyway.
-
You know, people come prophesied of me way too many times, you
-
know, I'm cordial. You know, go say what's this?
-
I realize well maybe they're trying to here.
-
Maybe they're trying to here right at the end of the day.
-
If it doesn't resonate with me, I throw the crap out anyway
-
because that's what it is. Crap is done.
-
It's not the word of God. Period.
-
And you always seem added, some people just jockey to try to
-
give you a word. All the dang Tom All the time
-
and you're like Lord. I'm praying for him.
-
Why? Because they're falling into the
-
passion translation, says that this, they're paying attention
-
to see. Even this evil spirits and
-
doctrines of demons of passion says that this way the Holy
-
Spirit explicitly revealed. At the end of this age, many
-
will depart from the true Faith. One after another, why they're
-
devoting themselves to spirits of deception and following demon
-
inspired Revelations. And theories.
-
You know what if they just would have stayed with the word?
-
It's what I call the choke conspiracy.
-
The Bible lines out with the word, the word was sown among
-
thorns and the deceitfulness of riches, right?
-
The cares of life, but notice the riches itself comes by
-
following the word anyway, and they wanted riches more than
-
they wanted the word that actually bring riches.
-
So, it's one of the greatest deceptions is that, if you just
-
stay with the word, you could could be used by the spirit and
-
do when it, you get it. Whenever and it would be God
-
anyway. When I was in Mexico as
-
Pentecost and I knew that the Lord wanted me to pray for them
-
to have a Kings anointing. A fresh anointing with a
-
revelation because you know, when the spirit comes upon you
-
and come upon you, again, you can be being filled is what that
-
means. But I also know in certain
-
countries that they gravitate to people.
-
So in the service, I said, I can have you come down and lay
-
hounds hands on every one of you for the Kings anointing.
-
And most people do that. Why?
-
Because they want to touch them. That way, when the power comes
-
and people see it. They'll be known as one who has
-
power. So I always say Lord.
-
Can I just do it open? Because when he falls, then they
-
can't say I did it. Now if he tells me no touch
-
them. I'm just, you know, because I'm
-
going to obey the voice of the Lord.
-
But I'm always looking for God, a more of a general response, if
-
possible. Because in certain places, I
-
know they gravitate to people and that's the last thing you
-
want is for them to gravitate to people.
-
I remember one time God used me in the miraculous, craziest
-
thing when I was in Nicaragua, some of you have never heard
-
this, but some have I was preaching.
-
We were preaching the kingdom of God.
-
We were leasing it for the first time, and we were in outside
-
auditorium, right? There's no walls, just attend
-
roof. The men are out there.
-
No air conditioning, right? We just preaching all of a
-
sudden, it started raining. And again, I was preaching
-
without a Michaels. They only had one and they
-
really didn't need to not hear my voice as much as they need to
-
hear The Interpreter at the end of the day, because I was
-
speaking English, He speaking Spanish, and I'm speaking, I'm,
-
I'm preaching. But now this, you know, they can
-
hear me because I'm loud anyway, and but the rain was coming
-
down. So loud that you really couldn't
-
hear any of us, and I never forget in my spirit, the Lord
-
said tell the rain to stop. Now, I'm thinking about the
-
rain, I'm preaching, but it hit, and I said, in the name of Jesus
-
rain stopped and then I just kept preaching, like I never
-
even said anything. Now, the overseer of that area
-
mention how many were on that mission trip with me?
-
Anybody but my wife, anybody else and maybe in the back
-
because there's some people here that were with me, anyway, we
-
will pray in our, you know, Minister this and all of a
-
sudden that Minister the the overseer says he's lost Lost
-
him. He's talking to whether right.
-
In two minutes, it was stopped. Stopped.
-
And then all of a sudden, it's kind of like pandemonium Because
-
it stopped now we left. I came back another time and for
-
whatever reason those in Nicaragua always got our flight
-
with Spirit wrong. We would tell them.
-
We're coming in on Monday at 1:00 a.m. the for whatever
-
reason they would think. That would be later on the next
-
day and they would not want to show up.
-
So we've been stranded at the airport on more than one
-
occasion this particular time we were.
-
And so the Sunday, I was supposed to be there.
-
Saturday, I think it was, we weren't really coming into a
-
Sunday, there's a group there that had come and why I want to
-
hear from the man who calls the rain to stop.
-
When I first and foremost, I didn't stop the rain.
-
I only said what God Said. But this is what people do.
-
This is the danger of work in the miraculous, which again, if
-
you actually study Jesus life, he quit it. because when people
-
only wanted his miracles, I'm done, The only reason I gave
-
these miracles in the first place because you would hear
-
what I say but since you don't hear not, I'm saying I'm
-
definitely not giving any miracles.
-
So the passion says the Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed
-
that at the End of the Age meaning will depart from the
-
true Faith. One after another devoting
-
themselves to spirits of deception and following demoness
-
by Revelation and Theory. Let me say this is some older
-
people in here. Maybe God's done with you.
-
In the realm of working of Miracles.
-
Maybe he just wants you to Mentor a younger generation.
-
And just really instill in them. The hunger for the word.
-
I'm not saying that I'm just saying.
-
But what if your Obadiah and your your one chapters done?
-
Could you be satisfied that you just know the word?
-
Love the word and Inspire other people to know the word and yet
-
the Miracles you performed earlier that God used you in at
-
a different time, he's not necessarily going to want to do
-
that with you anymore cuz he's using others in the body.
-
You bet your in the same body and it's God getting the glory.
-
Anyway. What if you never speak in
-
tongues again and interpret it in an open mic?
-
Could you still just love the word?
-
Now, I'm not saying that, I mean God, use Caleb, I get it.
-
But I'm just saying, could you handle that?
-
And if you can't, you're susceptible.
-
I'm trying to safeguard you let's read second, Peter,
-
chapter 2 verse 1, you ready? Can we do speed round you?
-
All right, we're going to speed round in the past there.
-
Rose false prophets among people God's people just as there will
-
continue to be false teachers who will secretly infiltrate
-
your mitts to divide you bringing them bringing with them
-
their destructive heresies. They will even deny the master
-
who paid the price for them being Swift destruction on
-
themselves. Many will follow a moral
-
Lifestyles because Of these corrupt false teachers.
-
The way of truth will be slandered, they are own are only
-
out for themselves ready to exploit you for their own gain
-
through their cunning arguments. Their condemnation has been a
-
long time coming, but their destruction does not Slumber or
-
sit idly by 4. It is sure to come they now
-
don't forget, God has no pity. For I get to verse 4 notice.
-
They're going to be in the camp within churches.
-
And again when it says that they are, you know, doing live.
-
Styles to bring for their own exploits.
-
They are wanting to be known as the powerful, whatever.
-
He said, don't forget verse for God has no pity for the Angels
-
when they send, but through them in the lowest darkest dungeons
-
of Gloom and lock them, in change where they are firmly
-
held into the Judgment of torment.
-
And he did not spare, the former world in the days of Noah.
-
When he sent a flood to destroy a depraved World, although he
-
protected no of the preacher of righteousness, along with seven
-
members of his family. And don't forget that he reduced
-
to ashes. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah
-
commending, condemning them to ruin and destruction.
-
Got appointed them to be Examples as to what is coming to
-
the ungodly. And that is a New Testament,
-
scripture of an action, that happened in Old Testament
-
Community. He goes on and says yet hearing.
-
He rescued a righteous man lot suffering.
-
The indignity of the unbridled lust of the Lawless for
-
righteous lot lived among them day after day distressed in his
-
righteous Soul by the rebellious deed.
-
He saw and heard if the Lord Yahweh rescued lat he knows how
-
to continually rest, rescue The Godly from their trials.
-
In the reserve. The ungodly for punishment, on
-
the day of judgment and this Especially applies to those who
-
live their lives, despising authorities, and who abandon
-
themselves to chasing the depraved lust of their flesh.
-
They are willingly, arrogant and insolent.
-
Unafraid to insult, the Glorious ones.
-
Meaning they will talk bad about the pastor.
-
Saints. Just a prop up their Ministries.
-
Yet even angels who have are greater than they and power and
-
strength. Do not dare slander them before
-
the Lord. These individuals are nothing
-
but brute beasts. Irrational creatures born in the
-
wild to be caught and destroyed and they will perish like these.
-
They are professional insulters who slander whatever they don't
-
understand in their destruction, they will be destroyed.
-
This is why you got to be very careful when you start talking
-
about other Saints and especially the fivefold
-
ministry. I don't care if you're right.
-
Those angels aren't even talking about it.
-
Around the water tank in heaven. All right.
-
Verse 13, for all the evil they have done, will come crashing
-
down on them. Now, notice, you don't see this
-
immediately. Why?
-
Because they're prophesying in his name.
-
They're casting out devils in his name.
-
It looks like their full power. But God knows.
-
God always knows. They consider it their great
-
pleasure to Corral's and broad daylight.
-
When they come to your love, Feast they are but stained and
-
blemished. Reveling in their deceptions as
-
they Feast with you, they are addicted to adultery.
-
Now I'm not talking sexual immorality.
-
I'm talking about the adultery to be able to be under the
-
influence of familiar spirits. So that they can tell everybody
-
thus saith the Lord, I got a word for you.
-
Stand up, David. David had a word for a person in
-
our church. He said pastor, I got to work
-
for someone. Can I give that to them?
-
I said no. Not at this time.
-
And he still hadn't given that word.
-
Because even if you have a real word, it does not mean that you
-
should give that word. Or you should be the one who
-
gets that word. Because he's not the overseer of
-
this flock. so, when somebody starts coming to you to give you
-
a word, You might need to say, well, who else knows that you
-
given this word? Now you say well, Pastor oh, we
-
can't give away unless we ask, I'm just saying that's some
-
pretty good protocol. Or at minimum, come back and say
-
Pastor, I've since the Lord wanted me to give a word to
-
someone, I did, and I want you to be aware of it.
-
You know why, you know, how many people have been damaged by
-
wrong words? I mean, it's easy to give a word
-
and not be responsible for the flock. prophesy to your heart's
-
content over, everybody be like an Absalom stand at the gate and
-
give the words that I don't give Because most of words you're
-
giving off from God anyway. And really by most people that
-
are actually given people worse aren't even actually words from
-
God, they're just actually encouragement.
-
It's called edification but tomb often we mistaken that we think
-
oh, we're giving them action word from God.
-
When the reality is you're really just encouraging you be
-
seated, David. Thank you.
-
They're addicted to adultery with eyes that are insatiable
-
with sins. That never end.
-
They seduce the vulnerable and are experts in their greed.
-
But they, but they are children of a curse.
-
New people come in guess what? Somebody gravitation won't give
-
you a word. Why they all of a sudden
-
gravitating everybody who has no Foundation?
-
Yeah, I'm preaching. because as your pastor, I'm not going to
-
tolerate it. And you know what, just like
-
God, he's long-suffering. He's merciful with people, he's
-
patient with people, but there comes a time that you can cross
-
along and you're out. You're gone.
-
Yep, because you've quit loving the word, don't love the word.
-
I'm telling you better have a love for the word.
-
You better love the word more than anything you ever loved.
-
Because heaven and Earth shall pass away.
-
But guess what's not his word and the spirits with his word
-
and if you're not with the words and you're not with the spirit,
-
this is why I'm always confused at.
-
Why Saints don't come to church but they willfully don't want to
-
be under the word Our 1st say, well, you know, wow, we had a
-
real service today because the Holy Spirit move like it wasn't
-
a real serious when we preach the word.
-
Man, we had church today the pastor didn't preach.
-
No, you didn't. If the pastor had preached some
-
time you probably couldn't have that service.
-
Because we fantasize we won't fantasies about God, but that's
-
when you're starting to pick up heresies and speaking seduced, I
-
mean really, you just want to be, you know, Harry Potter,
-
let's just be it. Let's admit it.
-
You under you want, you have no idea how many people were
-
operating in witchcraft. They're what they're operating
-
in Witchcraft and use in Jesus's name and his word and his
-
scriptures. Because my teacher James, and
-
John, you gonna give me the scripture about Elijah right
-
now. And act like I'm about to be
-
impressed. No, I'm rebuking you, because
-
you don't even know what Spirit gave you that scripture.
-
Could you so illiterate in your knowledge of the words?
-
You don't, you know what? Spirit gave you the scripture,
-
the devil use scripture on Jesus.
-
This is why the body of Christ is doing so bad right now
-
because we're so illiterate to the thing.
-
We supposed to love the most. want to prophesy every service,
-
want to have people laid out every service on people running
-
around every service, won't people laugh and every service
-
We had a holy ghost meeting. Holy Ghost meeting.
-
You had no Holy Ghost nothing because the holy ghost that you
-
created to be that repetitive Jesus didn't even do the same
-
thing with the Holy Spirit everywhere.
-
Know what they doing is they're using, I'm telling you, okay?
-
All right, they have wandered off the main road.
-
They've gone astray because they are prophets who love Prophet
-
the wages that earned by wrongdoing.
-
Now, some are after the money they are following the example
-
of Balaam. The son of this guy who was
-
rebuked for Evil by Donkey incapable of speech yet with
-
that yet that spoke with human voice and restrained, the If
-
it's Madness, you're not be people have gone mad because
-
they just want to be used of God and the supernatural.
-
They've gone mad, you've seen him, right?
-
They've gone mad, you're like What are you doing?
-
Can I say this? If I'm in here for prayer, don't
-
come and give me a word. Because number one, I'm in
-
prayer. You don't, you know, I can't
-
even come to morning prayers anymore.
-
Which is June tomorrow. So we will not have morning
-
prayer tomorrow on Thursday call.
-
We're moving it back to Wednesday.
-
But you know, I can't even come and pray.
-
My own corporate prayer anymore because congregation members are
-
coming up talking to me. So why you don't see me in
-
morning prayer? I go to my office.
-
I can't even corporate pray bone church not because people are
-
trying to prophesy every time. I'm not saying that I'm just
-
saying, you know, you start engaging conversation, this is
-
prayer. Let me pray.
-
I like to pray to. This is not a scheduled meeting
-
with you that Jan setup. Jan does not schedule me
-
meetings at six a.m. nor at 9:30 on Sunday morning.
-
But somebody wants to give me a word, give the whole church of
-
word word, word word. I mean, the Pastor Marcy's up
-
here, then go to her. She's doing the service.
-
If you got a real word then let her know and she'll let you know
-
whether there is I know, I got to stop these.
-
People are dried up verse 17, riverbeds, waterless, clouds
-
pushed Along by story, wins wins.
-
There's that word, again, the deepest darkness of Gloom have
-
been prepared for them. They spout off with grandioso,
-
impressive nonsense consumed with the lust of the flesh, they
-
lower back and it's in those who recently escaped from their
-
error, somebody just got out finally free.
-
And then they gonna go over there and give them a word and
-
get them back in it. Because they are entertained
-
this familiar spirit that used to hang out with them when they
-
were in their sin and then you bring it back to him, but they
-
let me tell you this. If anybody ever tried to bring
-
something back to you that you've had, you have the
-
authority in the name of Jesus. You stand in that Authority and
-
it can't come around you because you are the one that has the
-
authority of your own house. Period, only the devil tried to
-
bring up your past. So you saying the name of Jesus
-
is dead. It's under the blood and I'm
-
free from that and you free from that, you free.
-
Hallelujah. Amen, they promised others
-
Freedom yet themselves. They themselves are slaves to
-
corruption for, people's are slaves to whatever, overcomes
-
them, those who escaped, the corrupting forces of this world
-
system, through the experience of knowing about our Lord, Jesus
-
Christ, Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Messiah, then go back and
-
into entanglement with them and are defeated by them become
-
worse off than when they started.
-
It would have been much better for them.
-
Never to have experienced the way of righteousness than, to
-
know it and then turn away from the sacred obligation that was
-
given to them. They become illustrations of the
-
true proverb, a doll will return to his own vomit and a wash pig
-
to its wrote to its rolling in the mud.
-
Every word we ever heard and acted on outside of being me and
-
being born again, had a spirit attached to it anyway.
-
Now when I say that I'm not talking that it's like right
-
there, I'm just saying that the enemy is working.
-
Other words deception lust, all those things have to
-
relationships, we were in have two things we did, why?
-
We were deceived by another voice because we were under our
-
other father, the devil who was a tyrannical ruler and he abused
-
us with words. He told us how great we would
-
be. How much it would feel good.
-
How better it with Escape? It was all that stuff.
-
It was just a deception but the minute we got under the word
-
Then we were freed from that and now we get on mine renewed to
-
though the word of God. As long as we're in the word, in
-
the word, in the word, in the word, in the word, it is a
-
repetitive seemingly boring occasion, but its necessary,
-
because Jesus Christ is the word.
-
It's the only thing that can keep you pure be close with this
-
passage Psalms 119, man. You should read the whole
-
Psalms. Psalms 119 is priority.
-
No, where's David? Like just show me miraculous
-
things. He's like, man, I need you.
-
Where he said, how can a young man?
-
Keep his way, pure by, keeping it, according to your word, with
-
all my heart, I have sought you do not.
-
Let me Wander from your Commandments, your word.
-
I have treasured in my heart that I might not sin against
-
you. You can't treasure the moves of
-
the spirit in your heart and stay sinless.
-
You can't treasure the moves of the spirit in your heart and
-
stay sinless. You will become deceived because
-
the only foundation by which the spirit actually moves is the
-
word. This is why.
-
And there's Grandma graduates here today, they can testify.
-
There are people who came to Rhema, Bible training college
-
with one intent, selfish ambition to be the next.
-
Great prophet, Apostle, whatever worker of miracle in The Healing
-
Ministry. They went through Rama came out,
-
Rhema, they're worse. It's not because Rhema made them
-
worse is because the word they heard.
-
They continue to reject because they just wanted to hear the
-
stuff that made them powerful and notice too, by the way.
-
World and the masses. That I'm the next Billy Graham.
-
I'm the next Elijah. I'm the next super awesome.
-
You know, all Robert Smith Wigglesworth whomever Instead of
-
they taught me the word. That's what I needed to know.
-
And whatever happens after that, we'll to be God, be the glory.
-
Just God be the glory. Teach me Blessed.
-
Are You O? Lord teach me your statutes with
-
my lips. I've told of all the ordinance
-
of your mouth I projected the way I have rejoiced in the way
-
of your testimonies as much as in all riches, I will meditate
-
on your precepts. And regards your ways.
-
I shall Delight in your statues. I shall not forget your word.
-
the spirit explicitly says, in the last days, people will fall
-
away, and they'll give heed Two things that are after their own
-
lust. And the only way you avoid that
-
is that you don't care about those things.
-
But the word Pastor, how can I be powerful?
-
You love the word and you treasure it and you keep it and
-
you do it. You know why?
-
Jesus was so powerful? You know why?
-
Jesus was actually all-powerful? It's not because he was anointed
-
of the Holy Spirit, he's because he was a man who knew no sin.
-
And how could he be a man who knew no sin because he only did
-
what the father said? His number one, practice, as a
-
man was keeping the word. Jesus number one, practice.
-
And when Peter said may, it never be Jesus.
-
Not going to die. He said, get thee behind me
-
Satan for you've set your minds on the things of the devil and
-
not on the word of God. And I'm going to do the word of
-
God, because the greatest exploit that I could ever do on
-
this planet is keep the word. And that's why in the beginning
-
the crowds followed him because he raise the Dead cast out
-
Devils healed the sick. I mean, he done so many
-
miraculous things, he multiplied, bread fish, the
-
miraculous was happening, and by the end of the time, all they
-
were doing is pushing him about the miraculous and pushing him
-
about, want to become king. He says, I've come for one
-
person, do the will of my dad. I'm a man of the word.
-
My number one assignment is to keep that word and when he's in
-
the garden, pray it. He does a god.
-
Is there another way, but if not.
-
I'm going to do it. Because I'm a man who keeps your
-
word? So you want to be a follower of
-
Jesus? He'd be a door of the Lord word.
-
You forgive your brother, you don't walk in a fence, you don't
-
want bitter, you don't hold attitudes and heirs would
-
Saints. You don't lust after trying to
-
be known. You're not trying to be the next
-
great prophetess nights, great apostle, I'm just a person who
-
loves the word. I just want to be known as a man
-
who did the word. When you do that.
-
Then the rest is open. And it would be right and it'll
-
be the actual Holy Spirit. And as your pastor, I just want
-
you to be people of the word. But you know what you want.
-
And God knows how you acted. And if there's anything that's
-
outside of, I never did a miracle in my life, I don't
-
care. I just want the word.
-
If that ain't in your heart, you need to repent because the
-
demons waiting for you at your car.
-
He's going to find a word for you.
-
Because he knows you got luster we should probably get rid of
-
that today. Thank you so much for listening
