Advantageous - Kingdom Spirit - Part 2

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoyed this message. So last week, we talked about

the spirit of God, amen. Amen, D, enjoy Sunday, Pastor

Marcy, preaching. Amen.

And I appreciate any time that You know, she has a word is able

to get in the Pulpit. It allowed me to be able to help

another church, that's going through some transition.

And, you know, as the day draws near, you know, more and more

opportunities and different things that will have to be on

assignment here and there. But I'm thankful that God has

given us depth in our church. And that the gifts that are here

for us to be at a minister anchor.

Faith Church is not built on the personality of Earl glisten.

So whether I'm in the pool, Pit or not is irrelevant.

The vision goes on. The vision of Anchor Bay church

is not Earl glisten. It's ignite the city impact, the

nation and influence the world. Amen.

So, you know, like the past, I just love the way he preached.

Great, thank you, but it's the word.

I don't care if you like on preaching.

Are you doing what I'm saying? Right?

I mean, I'm trying to be engaging so that you'll do it.

Not just enjoy, hearing it all right?

Because a man if dry and never moving around and sound like the

old Ferris, Bueller guy, Bueller Bueller, right.

I mean if if that made you here, I would preach like that and do

right, so that's what's important, but it's not built

around a personality. It's built on Jesus Christ, and

so when God allows others, to be able to minister here because we

have assignments, then we do now, I do want to go ahead and

mention this real quick for we get into the word is that I did

book flights to India. Okay.

Now if you want to so towards that still we haven't

technically left. No, you can still so towards

that. I mean, I've pulled money from

other parts of the ministry in order for us to be able to

accomplish that trip because we need to go over and see our

orphanage. We need to do this, we need to

graduate some Kingdom Institute graduates, we need to be there,

okay? And so we've pulled the trigger

on that and so, you know, you can continue to so towards that

and we appreciate it because it just really just gives us a

resource to be able to do all the other things that we still

need to do with the ministry, okay?

And so, but while I'm gone, the Lord spoke to me and because

we're coming to the end of the year and there's quite a few

things, we're gearing up for 2023. 2023 is going to be a

powerful year for anchor feature church.

I'm just letting you know right now.

I mean the only way. Yes not is.

If Jesus comes tomorrow but should the Lord tarry 2023 is

going to be a powerful Year, Frank, Rafi Church.

All right? And so I wanted our staff to be

a to be highly focused. Just on its preparation for our

January first service, getting ready for that.

So I asked Pastor Daryl Huffman to come and Minister while my

wife and I are in India, so he'll be with us for two

Wednesdays and a Sunday, he'll do three services, all right?

And so he's going to come in and minister to the body.

He was real excited by said it's just like home.

Amen. I mean I really think there's a

niche with him. There is a niche with him, it's

Miss Bonnie, that we need to get in touch with that, they would

move here, but I'm just saying, all right.

So, with that being said, let's get in the word.

Amen. So, in John chapter 16 verse 17,

John 16:17

I'm not going to do a review of last week.

I'll just touch base on a couple of things we talked about, but I

want to kind of Center in on this scripture.

It says this in the Amplified John chapter, 16, verse 17 but I

tell you the truth so he's not lying.

Jesus can't lie anyway. All right.

Jesus said, I tell you the truth.

It is to your whose advantage Manage whose Advantage.

It's your advantage. So this is advantageous.

Alright, we are the most. We are people that have the

greatest advantage in the planet And we always need to look

through the lens of. I have the advantage.

I always have the advantage. I never not have the advantage.

I am in the seat of Advantage, okay?

It is to your advantage that I go.

And has Jesus gone, aren't you? Glad he left.

You need to be because he said, it's to your advantage.

I'm not here. Okay.

It's to your advantage that I go away for.

If I don't go away the pair of Cletus, that's the helper.

The comforter. The Get the intercessor, the

council to the strengthener, the standby will not come to you,

but if I go I will send him the Holy Spirit to you to be in

close fellowship with you. He is not to be a casual

relationship. He is to be in close.

In fact, you should be able to hear his voice better than a

human being standing in front of you.

You need to get yourself, fine. Tuned to know the voice of the

spirit. Now, if you want to know what

the spirit, the Holy Spirit sounds like read the Bible,

because the holy spirit says, I don't, Jesus said, now when he

comes the next in John 16, if you jump down to verse 12 and

13, He said now look when he comes he know Speak of himself.

He's going to he's going to talk to you about what he's hearing

me say, okay. So in essence, the spirit of God

is our direct communication to the throne of God.

Throne room of God in heaven where Jesus is physically seated

and we are spiritually seated with him in the same seat.

And so he speaks to us in our spirit by the holy spirit that

lives in us and has come upon us.

And Given us power. Can I get an amen.

So, the holy ghost, man, he is the third person of the godhead.

We need to have an intimate relationship with him.

He will guide us direct us. He is so awesome.

He is to our advantage in any situation we ever get into.

He has the way of escape and answer.

He knows how to empower us. He knows how to give us fruit,

he's amazing. I said he's amazing and so it's

Again, an advantage to us. Now, I heard Pastor Mark, not

Brady, but another Pastor from Colorado.

When I went to call to arms last week he said this and it

resonated with me that I not only did I take the note but

then I copied it and pasted it into this message.

He said this, it is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit,

not of the devil. We are carriers of the spirit.

I mean, when you get into the society, we're in today, the

last of the last days, will people be lovers of self and all

these horrible things? Lawlessness things are taking

place. You would think that the devil's

winning And if you look at that perspective, will complain and

talk about all the bad going on. I can't believe there's and I

can't believe that and I can't believe they're I mean in

essence we're not even focused on.

We are in the dispensation of the Holy Ghost.

I mean, it's our greatest, our is his greatest time to shine.

We have the Holy Spirit and it is the dispensation, where the

spirit of God has been poured out on his church and his church

is still in the Earth today. So, the most powerful thing on

the planet is the Church of Jesus Christ, full of the Holy

Spirit, full of the Holy Spirit. Now, you can't really be the G

Church of Jesus Christ, without the spirit of God.

Can't be it. So again if you are tending I'm

talking not to this church. Obviously I'm talking to those

who are in our podcast. Now, if you're attending a

church that they have no regard to the Holy Spirit, you need to

leave. You don't have to pray about it.

You leave and find one that has honor and respect for the holy

spirit. Because the holy spirit is not

competing with Jesus. Now, if you're in a church

because you're listening to us on podcast and you're like, it

seems like the spirit of God moves all the time and they

never preached. You need to get out of that

church because that's not the spirit of God.

Those are other Spirits. You need to be in a place where

the preaching of the word lime by line precept upon precept and

the moving of the spirit is welcomed and done though, that's

the healthy place to be. Alright healthy, place to be and

so that's what we endeavor. And that's what we yield to and

want to do. And there's so many expressions

of the spirit that take place in our services all the time,

right? And because we honor the Holy

Spirit, we value him and his assignment in the earth through

us. All right.

So we were talking then as a church, then then then the

church should be full of the spirit and the Bible has a lot

of expressions of the spirit. The last time we came Together.

We talked about the spirit of Truth and we read off some

scripture there, John, 15:26 and John 16:13.

John 16:13

I'm not going to go back. You can just write them down.

If you weren't here then we talked about the spirit of

power, okay? That was in 2nd, Timothy 1:7 and

acts 10:38, there we have a spirit of power about us, you

Acts 10:38

know, we're not scared, we don't have a spirit of fear.

We don't have a spirit of fear. Now, we have the fear of the

Lord, but that's odd that is reverence.

And that is this attitude that I do not want to live or conduct

my life in such a way that its displeasing to my heavenly

father. I don't want to act in a way

behave, in a way to treat. Someone in a way respond in a

way, that would be displeasing have a lifestyle in a way that

is contrary to the Culture of the Kingdom, because I have the

fear of the Lord. Are you hearing me?

That's the only fear that's associated with us, the fear of

the Lord, but fear in general, is not a part of our Lives.

Now, when I say that, that doesn't mean, you know, you

know, you get those little tingly, just when you're about

to, you know, fall off a thousand foot cliff, you know,

that's a natural deal, okay? I'm talking about being afraid

that you're going to catch things, you're gonna die, you're

gonna be ran over your, your family's gonna fall apart.

You're gonna lose you die. Anything bad.

News, it's going to happen. In fact, the person I was

talking to the gas station when he asked me, you know, what do

you think? How do you think we're going to

fair? I said, well, I'm hot.

I'm highly hopeful, I said yeah, I believe I just listened to a

thing that it's, you know, looks like we're probably going to get

it to develop some disorder, over the islands in the Bahamas.

And, you know, I think once it comes on is just going to be a

lot of rain. He didn't know how to respond to

me. So wait a little bit then he

came back. He says, well it could be worse.

Well yeah, it could be worse but in an amazing how people lean to

the bad, they lean there. They think they're they you

know, they don't they restrain themselves from having hope.

Right? Because the spirit of fear has

tried to make hope where people like it's not going to be as

bad, you're gonna like an idiot when it's bad, so we're

intimidated to even speak hope, but if you don't start speaking,

What God Says, then you can't prove that Faith Works.

That means you gotta call those things that be not as though

they were. That means you're calling it

when everybody else is saying, it ain't that way.

But you've heard God's voice Amen.

And the last storm even when it came through.

Again, Tuesday morning, prayer. We said we're going to call that

front down and it's going to disrupt that thing and it's

gonna push it in a direct and sure enough it did not affect us

in any real man. Or I mean, again, you get

rained, you're going to get flooding, I get it.

You're going to get Storm surges in general, I get that.

But as far as a Direct Hit or are all the amount of rain, they

said that would come it didn't ever came.

It'll it is, as we said, now, it's not because we have that,

we have the spirit of power, and the Holy Ghost said, say it this

way? Oh, hallelujah.

Amen. We also talked about the spirit

of wisdom, you know, we are the wisest people on the planet and

that doesn't mean we shouldn't study because we should.

Okay. But it does mean this that we

can tap into places that the world can't even tap in.

We can come up with ideas on the spot because we're tapped into

the creator of Heaven and Earth and we can get answers

immediately. We can get insight that no one

else can remember. Daniel Daniel jumped up there

when he had to bring the King's dream.

I had to tell him what the dream was and then interpret it

member. His Bose was listen, I'm not any

smarter than anyone else in the room.

Naturally Speaking, although he was ten times smarter than them,

all right? In his own personal study, but

what he was saying, is what I'm about to say to, you did not

arrive from a textbook. You couldn't have gotten it from

the textbook, but there is a God, the creator of Heaven and

Earth, and he has allowed you King to see something in the

future. So this is what you saw because

he was giving God credit for that.

Now, how did he had a spirit of wisdom about it?

He could tap into something that nobody else could now you had to

ask, but what does the Bible say?

If a man lacks let him ask nor what do we need to do here,

you're asking for wisdom and guess what?

He's going to answer you just keep seeking glory to God.

Amen. All right, let's go on to the

next things because again, this church is a church that has the

spirit of Truth, the spirit of power, the spirit of wisdom, But

we also have the spirit of Life In Christ.

Look at this in Romans 8:2 and Romans chapter 8 verse 2.

Romans 8:2 Romans 8:2

It says this for the law, wait a minute.

Dude, that's a law. Surely that didn't say law.

We're not under the law. Are we?

Whew. We just destroyed a lot of

Doctrine right there, right? A lot of things being said right

now because they're not reading the Bible.

Now, this is New Testament scripture to the church in Rome.

By Paul who wrote over half of the New Testament.

Says, there is a law in effect. It's the law of the spirit of

life in Christ Jesus. And when you're under that law,

guess what it does. It sets you free from another

law? The law of sin and death.

So if you're not under the law of the spirit of Life In Christ,

then you're under the law of sin and death.

Aren't you glad you're under the law of the spirit of Life In

Christ? Now again Christ is the Greek

equivalent to the Hebrew word Messiah, okay.

And that is the anointed one in his anointing.

And now again, if we don't explain this, if you read that

in the Greek like well that's the end only one in his

anointing. Well, what Does that even mean?

It means that when a king was placed into Power, he was

anointed. And we see that with King Saul

because God said they've rejected me as king.

They want a man king. So what did he do?

Samuel go anoint him. That's my anointed one and he

has my anointing. And remember what they said

about saw when the anointing came on him, that he was like,

one of the prophets because the spirit of God Came Upon him

because of the anointing. Well, what did Jesus say in?

Luke chapter 4, he said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me

Luke 4 · chapter mention

for he has anointed me. So Jesus is the anointed one and

has the anointing. The good news is that when we

become children of God, we receive the anointing of Christ

because we're the Little King's of the key.

He's the king of All right. So we are in under the law of

the spirit of life. We're in the king because

whatever the king says life gets associated with it.

Are you hearing me we get to follow live because of what

Christ did his death, burial resurrection, and poured his

blood on The Mercy Seat. He is given the opportunity for

us to have life and life more abundantly.

And so we come up underneath this long that I've been bought

and paid for my life is not my own.

Christ owns me. I'm his property and I'm a Child

of God. Hallelujah, and it's a legal

transaction that the devil can never come up to the father's.

Say that was my boy. He used to lie, cheat, steal,

Rob murder. All these things.

When I say murder, I'm not talking about physical really

murdering. You can just hate somebody and

it's okay. You can have attributes in your

heart even though you don't carry out the action.

Okay? And so, you know, he can acute,

but he's like, no, he's legally mine.

I bought and paid for it. He confess me as Lord.

Are you, are you hearing me? So we have the spirit of Life In

Christ. Bondage is when you don't want

to do, what the king says. Liberty comes from whom the son

sets free, their free indeed and you know, sent understand.

Jesus is doing more than freeing you from a sentence of damnation

or Hell. The Lake of Fire.

Okay. He's done more.

He's here to liberate. You entirely your spirit, your

soul and your body. Hallelujah.

So I'm under this law which means then whenever I get in any

And I can go and seek for life because the spirit brings life.

Amen. And we have that, you know, what

else we have? We have the spirit of Christ.

All my gosh, we have the spirit of Christ and more and more.

We're discovering that we have the spirit of Christ.

Look what it says in Romans chapter 8 9.

Romans 8 · chapter mention

It says, however, you are not in the flesh.

But in the spirit, now that doesn't mean we don't live in a

body. It just means we don't operate

according to fleshly things anymore, right?

Indeed, the spirit of God dwells in.

You does the spirit of God dwell in you.

That's the Holy Ghost. He Bears witness with your

spirit. You are a, What Child of God.

But if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he does not

belong to him, which tells me a person born again, is going to

have the desire and drive to one to understand and walk out their

Authority in the Earth because the spirit of Christ.

If we Buddy, Christ's life. He only wants to do the will of

his father, he functioned in full Authority, even the people

and the Pharisees and scribes says, who is this?

God, it preaches with such Authority, even the demons,

right? Even the winds and waves, right?

So when you have the spirit of Christ, you have this atmosphere

of authority, when you walk in a room, you're not intimidated

with anything. I said, you're not intimidated

with anything. And if you have intimidation,

it's a sole issue. Not a spirit issue and you need

to renew your mind. Right.

You have inferiority or insecurities.

That is a soul problem that you need to renew because Christ

doesn't see you that way. He sees you complete in him.

So, when you have the spirit of Christ to the world and to the

religious, you look arrogant and cocky, but did Jesus, you'll be

confident. And you have to be confident

because if you're not confident, you're not going to ever be in

faith. Now, Faith is Right, Hebrews

Hebrews 11:1

11:1 now. Faith is things, what Hope by

definition means what confident expectation.

So if you don't ever get over into confidence, then you'll

never be in. You'll never get to faith.

Faith, cannot Blossom without you getting having hope or

confident expectation. It is as God says, As right.

So when you get to the place man, I know it has to be as it

was said that hope rises up. That's why I told that guy said,

I'm hopeful, I have confident expectation that it will be.

As I have spoken because I've heard what I've spoke.

Are you hear me Ben? I've got others that were in the

room that day that touched in agreed.

And the Bible says, if any two people on Earth touch and agree,

it will be well, I believe that more than I believe.

Anything else? Hallelujah.

Well, praise the Lord glory to God.

Thank you, Jesus. Hmm.

Hmm. Well, praise the Lord.

Thank you, Jesus. Okay, Spirit of Faith, the

spirit of faith. We have the spirit of Faith.

Amen. I said, we have the spirit of

Faith. Are you hearing me second

2 Corinthians 4:13

Corinthians 4:13 wants to say, but having the same Spirit of

Faith, according to what is written, I believe.

Therefore I Now, if you believe what are you going to, do you

going to talk people who believe, talk?

If you're not talking you not believe it.

You talking. I believed therefore I spoke.

We also believe therefore we also what speak.

And because we're here faith comes by hearing and hearing

from the word of God. That's how belief is formed in

your life, because you hear God's word and then you become

firmly persuaded. That's it.

Which means that I can say what God says, because I'm not saying

it. God said it will pass.

That's what, you know, it's not what I said.

It's what God. It said to say, so it's really

not me speaking. It's God speaking, I'm just

representing his him in the Earth by saying what he said.

Now, we've done this before, right, where you go to someone

and say so, and so sad. Now that your is your mouth is

your words, it's your tone of voice but you're actually

talking on behalf of someone else, you're representing them.

We are to do the same. All right, and it is the spirit

of faith. I mean we should be like when we

finish one Faith project where I give me another please, give me

another. I just have to I need to be

constantly believing God for something, right?

I mean if we need to be Faith addicts, Right addicted to

Faith. Right?

We need to become that because if you don't watch out after

you've won a few Faith battles, meaning you fight the good fight

of Faith. There's only two fights we have,

right? We have the fight of faith in

the fight of culture. The culture of the Kingdom would

fight for that because we know how the culture of the Kingdom

should be. So we fight for it as brethren,

we make a demand that we love one another, according to

scripture, we forgive one another, we walk at peace with

one another, we have bear the fruits of the spirit that I'll

get to hearing it. Bit.

So my point is, is we fight for that because we want the

Kingdom's culture to rain, but in faith, we fight meaning we

stand. When we've done all to stand, we

stand. And there's such a bombardment

in the time of you coming from the the beginning of your faith

where Jesus is the author. He tells you what to believe.

Now you're in the middle standing believing and you're

hearing all the stuff. Contrary finally you get to the

end, it comes to pass this. Like, it's exactly as I said and

you praise God, but you do You will feel a bit exhausted.

You will I mean it'll work on you so then when God starts to

drop something else, you're like, ooh, now I know what kind

of fight that might be, can we go from Faith to Faith?

And a lot of times, we know the cost, Of the last battle, we

need to count the cost of the next battle and sometimes we

don't want to count that cost. We much rather start living in

his faithfulness only. And then we go and we revert

back to man back in such-and-such.

God did this with me and did this?

And I remember God did and there it did services.

Instead of doing services. I said they're did services.

Now we can grow by someone's faithfulness, don't get me

wrong, but but recently just because of what anchor Faith

Church did at 21-21 US1 South I had a minister at call to harms

come up to me and said pastor all been want to talk to you.

I listened to your podcast with Craig on.

Y'all purchase in the mall and he says I've got this property

and think they're in South Dakota.

That is couple of hundred thousand square foot buildings

at Citibank used to own. They've been vacant for 22

years, about 15, 20 acres. I've been on the parking lot

sitting and dreaming Now, why does he want to talk to me?

Because we're a now we're today. I mean it's happened in 2021,

you understand I'm saying we're not too far removed from

fighting the good fight of faith and possessing the land.

And so there's this kind of like out-of-the-box thought process

for church. And he's like, I want to talk.

Let's talk. I said, because he's well able

to do that. Now, why can I say that?

Cause I know his faithfulness and we're not talking about God,

50 years ago, doing something for someone on a piece.

We're talking about last year. Amen.

This is why you want to stay in the faith battles because you

want to be in a stable last week.

I'd kick sickness and disease knocked it off my body.

You know, last week I got rid of poverty and lack you know, last

week. You know, I got rid of that, you

know. Well, you know I walked into

this because I believe God and how I've in the Overflow.

Are you hearing me? So we have to have the spirit of

Faith, the spirit of his life, you know.

I hear people. And it's just so, you know, they

just don't understand what they're saying that like.

Well, we just don't want to wear the people out.

I just want to strengthen you constantly to take territory and

everything you're doing. And how can I wear you out?

If God's Champion us to believe, because he's the one who

strengthens us in the first place?

Are you hearing me? Which brings me to the next one,

called the spirit of Grace. We have a spirit of Grace about

us. Now, let me explain this a

little bit before I read this scripture.

Don't put that up yet. Okay?

The spirit of Grace is God empowering you to be able to

live this Kingdom lifestyle. Holy and separated from this

current world in a way that people literally, when they look

at you and they get around you, they have to conclude, you are

not like everybody else. And that's what they would

typically say. But we know the scripture says

we're not of this world, right? Not of not of the planet,

because we're of the planet, but we're not of the systems and the

emotions, and the way the world Funk were not a part of their

reality TV. Okay?

We're not, we don't live in their reality, they have an

alternate reality from us because we've been brought out

of the domain of Darkness into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

I mean, we are peculiar. So own it, just go ahead and on

it. See if you trade peculiar for

popularity, then you're going to lose your agape.

That's what you going to do. I want peculiar not popularity

because peculiar will keep me with grace and grace will give

me favor and I must rather have favored in popularity because

favor will get me into places that popularity can, but will

not sustain. Favor will give you places that

I don't even have to be popular. Right, cuz that's what Grace

will Grace. We already know in our first

experience of Grace was an unmerited favor.

Meaning we deserved an alternative but God being rich

in his Mercy, gave us away into the family.

The minute we got into the family, then he closed us with

the same Grace that was on him because the grace on him.

The Bible says he grew and grace and favor with man.

Which means then Jesus could not have had unmerited favor, Grace,

show me where he sinned and he deserved to die.

It doesn't exist. So anytime people preach Grace,

only from an unmerited favor, only perspective, they are

missing. All the other facets of Grace

that the Bible. Clearly says it's multifaceted,

okay? It has many other workings

associated with it. It has a Saving Grace with it.

It has a serving Grace with it. It has giving Grace.

I mean, there's all kinds of things other Graces but there's

definitely an empowering 11 that will Empower you to be.

To resist the Temptations of the world.

Whoo, glory to God. Okay.

And so, we have the spirit of Grace about us many.

Now that I'm in his kingdom, I'm going to use that Grace to live

this in Christ's existence and lifestyle.

Every day of my life, it will consume my thinking, my actions,

my behavior, my mouth, able even dictate my body.

In a dictated, you understand the spirit of Grace can help you

get out of addiction, it can Empower you to break addictions

that get stuck in your body because your natural body will

want the addiction. Well, whatever.

You're feeding it and it's in your D, you know, not DNA, but

it's in your, you know, yourselves, it's in your

membranes. I mean, sometimes it hides out

and then it manifests in your, like, I was good for so long,

but not like having his maps of crazy.

Like, I'm going through withdrawal and if you don't

emotionally handle that, That then you go back into whatever

it was, you were addicted to. Are you hearing me?

And I'm not just saying substance only.

I mean, it can be visual addictions, but Grace has the

ability to strip that break that Empower you to overcome that.

Amen. And it will do it even with food

food that you partake in the Lord's.

Like it's really not helping your body to go, the long run

and you're like, okay I'm at a Crossroads I'm going to choose

to you know with stain from that personally not anyone else.

These are personal convictions you can't go tell people don't

eat that. All right, so don't do that.

Don't come around. Talk to me about diets.

Okay, whatever diet is good for you.

You do it but don't be trying to shove that on someone else.

I'm just saying you can keep yourself in a Peak Performance,

physically as well because the spirit of Grace will help you

say I'm putting that to the side right?

When I say it, I'm not talking about I'll never eat that again.

Although some people have that capacity and want to To some

say, I don't eat that at all except on occasions and when I

do, I decide when and it will never dominate me or hear me.

Okay, so the spirit of Grace, we want to embrace the spirit of

Grace honor that we have, the spirit of Grace recognize that

God has through the unmerited, favor of God brought us into the

family, then empowered us with the same Grace.

He had upon his life to walk through the Earth.

Without failing you said? Well, what if I fail in the

process? Well, you have an advocate with

the father, man, just for pink, get up and go and get back

underneath the grace. That has the capacity to keep

you from falling. Don't walk around and say, well,

I'm just so sorry sinner saved by grace.

You know, we all sin? Well, we don't all sit.

We don't all have to sin because the spirit of Grace kit, gives

you the capacity with the Holy Ghost in you to say, oh, hold

on. Now, don't say that, don't do

that, don't respond. That way, don't act that way,

don't look at that, don't eat that.

Don't Drink that, right? And then if you yield to it, he

will Empower you. And now he's strengthen you to

actually overcome And you'll know, man, if it was left to

myself, I'd it done it, but God I said, but God, come on.

But God you know what? I love about the spirit of

Grace. He'll let me talk.

Meaning, I'm praying the Holy Ghost and help that Grace remind

me. I'm not my own.

Amen. And Empower me.

But, you know, there is a little warning about the spirit of

Grace and it is this verse Hebrews 10:29.

Hebrews 10:29

It says, is how much severe punishment.

Do you think he will deserve, who has Trampled Under Foot, the

Son of God and has regarded as unclean the blood of the

Covenant by which he was Sanctified and has insulted?

The spirit of Grace. Okay.

Now, if you had a read this in context, it was talking about

the law of Moses, okay? When the Israelites were under

the law of Moses, the priest every year only, there were

sacrifices throughout the year, okay?

There was Festival different things they had to do, all

right? If they found themselves in sin

knew they were sin or intentionally sand or whatever.

The case may be, you know, they were sacrifices, they could do

to maintain cleanliness, but then every year once a year, the

high priest would go in and basically put the Blood On The

Mercy Seat to help cover the whole nation, right?

Okay. And but he said now, if someone

disregards the law of Moses, the laws that were written in more

than 12. Okay.

The laws of Moses, they disregard it, they were through

the witnesses of two or three people.

Punished Some of that was, they died.

Okay, because they refuse to live under that law, which means

then if you don't live under that law, which is the only

thing they help keep you alive. In right standing with God's

covenant. Then you're out and judgment was

quite a bit swifter then. Are you hearing me?

Okay. Then he jumps over to the New

Covenant and he's saying now don't think that getting born

again that you can disregard the law of the spirit of life in

Christ. Jesus, now it's a law.

Because if you're not under the law of the spirit of life in

Christ, Jesus, you're under the law of sin and death. so he's

saying now if you disregard the law of the spirit of life in

Christ Jesus, that you've been Grace now to live and basically

you're living as if you're not even saved, but act like you are

now, this is the problem. And it brings an insult.

To the spirit of Grace. And unfortunately there's a lot

of bad teaching out there where people are living under this

grace and act like they're free cuz you know, I didn't do

anything to deserve it, okay? So I there's nothing I can do to

deserve now. Okay.

And that again it is a word that we're using in such a capacity

that we're making in a general sense and it's still not even

true. You can't say God, if I do it

this way, you have to accept it. Can't do it.

Unless you said this God I'm going to do it your way so you

have to accept it and God says you got it.

Now hows it God's way son, you're going to have to believe.

not Jesus, believing I mean because it's without any earning

at all. Any effort on your own.

Then there's no reason to confess Jesus as Lord.

We might as well accept the doctrine of inclusion.

There is an effort. You had and every one of you

done this, some sooner than earlier others.

You had to put forth this effort.

I am going to admit That I am not right with God.

And that Jesus is the only way and I'm think I am, I am going

to submit to him and I'm going to call him Lord and I'm going

to repent and say no longer the way I do it.

That's effort. And that's your faith because

it's by faith. Not Jeep.

God's faith. It's your faith.

That causes salvation as you had, you had to do it.

You had to believe if you don't believe even though God's

already paid the price. It doesn't show up on your

behalf. So again, these General words

that we end up using in the English language, does not

literally qualify exactly what's taken place.

And people who basically want to live, like they're lost, and God

accepts it because of what he did on the cross is a lie.

It's an insult to the spirit of Grace Christ.

Did not die for you because Christ died for you.

Yes. Cuz left alone, you're

incapable. I get that.

But once you accept Christ, incapable is not a part of your

vocabulary anymore. Capable in Christ is a part of

your vocabulary. Now you can do Paul said in

Philippians, right chapter 4, who can do all things, who wait

a minute. Only God Can that's not what

Paul said by inspiration of the Holy Ghost.

He said I can do all things. How through Christ that's

through the Kings Authority. See what he tells me.

As he leads me by the spirit, I hear his word.

I believe in, I'm firmly persuaded.

Then I declare and speak of myself with a spirit of Faith.

Operated underneath, the spirit of Grace.

It will nothing's impossible for me.

I can do all things because I've been empowered.

I'm not a weakling anymore. I'm not a has been, nobody can't

get nothing, don't deserve nothing, don't it?

I'm a Child of God, I deserve access to the throne.

I deserve that my dad would talk to me because he loves me that

much and won't shut me out. In fact, my dad said, if you

seek, you will find me if you ask, I'll give it to you.

If you'll knock on door, open the door.

But who has to ask you do, who has to see, you do?

Who has to not you do. That's called effort.

And he doesn't do it independent of that.

Cess doctrines of demons. For us to believe where we don't

do anything or just underneath Spirit of Grace.

We do it all. We're good.

It's not true. This church has a spirit of

Grace rightly divided that has capacity to be able to look at

Temptation in the face. And say You Don't Own Me

Anymore, right? The flesh doesn't know me

anymore. You don't owe me.

I, you're not my master, I have Grace on my life, I have faith

in my life. I have the spirit of life in my

life. Are you hearing me operate on

our whole different law? How are you hearing me?

Alright then we have the spirit of Glory.

Y'all doing all right. The spirit of Glory means a

whole lot to say about the spirit of God.

Amen. And here's what's so crazy.

Jesus was absolutely giddy. Can I say it that way?

I mean, it's almost like he was like exciting.

And John chapter said, do you understand is to your advantage

that I go, so that he may come. You just don't understand how

jacked excited I am that. I'm about to lay my life down,

pour out the blood so that I can inaugurate the dispensation of

the spirit of God and the church age so that I can pour out my

spirit that was prophesied through Joel, on All Flesh.

Oh my gosh, this is so exciting. Wow, he was so excited.

And we have the Holy Spirit. I'm so thankful for the Holy

Ghost without him I wouldn't know Jesus.

You can't even know Jesus without the Holy Ghost says you

can't even come to Christ. Save the spirit draw you.

Now, this doesn't diminish. The role Jesus Isn't Our Lives.

He's the king. He's our Lord.

We honor and worship him. We're hanging on every word that

comes out of his mouth because he is the word, but it's the

spirit that brings that word to power.

Then God said, member in the beginnings, there was God, the

Creator and then he said, let there and the spirit of the Holy

Spirit was hovering waiting for a sound.

He's waiting for South, waiting for the word to be spoken, so

that he could do it. Make it happen, perform it.

And that word lives in us. That's his Spirit lives in us.

He wanted to get these things connected.

Man. What an exciting life, we live

Spirit of Glory. Okay, the spirit of Glory.

Look at this First Peter chapter 4, verse 14.

1 Peter 4:14

This is really awesome. Spirit of Gloria says, if you,

if you are revealed in the Name of Christ, you are blessed

because the spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

Now I want to define this word Glory here because we always

talked about a glory cloud. And I'm be honest with you, we

really religious about this and we need to stop All right,

because you are the glory. Okay, now I'm not going to say

and I'm not here to discredit, nor am I not what I squelch if

this place filled up. With a glory Cloud, right?

I have no problem with that. But that's not a greater.

Manifestation are you? Hey Sammy.

How Believers like that? I just saw a cloud like that.

So more amazing than you have the spirit of Glory.

Now, where do we get this? From this concept of a glory

Cloud coming in, right? Right now.

Again in the old, Covenant, the God would descend down like a

cloud over the Tabernacle, right?

But they will have to know the presence of God.

Both the cloud and a and fire for that matter.

Okay. Right, I get that.

But we typically grab this from the passage where Solomon

sacrifices to the temple. and it says that the glory of God came

in, Now, what's it say? Because it doesn't just say that

his glory filled. The temple is says his train

says his train filled the temple.

Well, what's the train is that a choo-choo?

Obviously it's not a choo-choo train, it's his robe.

That's righteous. And it has a train behind it.

And this thing so long because he has all of there's not a

territory, he doesn't have lordship over.

So this word, Glory means Majesty, a thing belonging to

God, it means this, the kingly Majesty which belongs to him as

supreme ruler. It means kinglee Majesty of the

Messiah. So in Says we have the spirit of

Glory which tells us this. We are carrying Majesty because

we're Kings, you just got. Imagine when you walk in the

room, a train, a train. Is following you?

Instead of trying to get the world to see a cloud live by the

spirit, when you walk in the room of fresh win will show up

and when you go by your train will be.

So I mean your fragrance, your majesty, the Holiness of your

life, the purity of who you are in Christ, will just all of a

sudden people are, who's that? They will be affected by your

majesty. Now again, we're not trying to

get people to look at us but we want them to be identified with

the glory of God that rest on us.

Wow, we've got to be a tangibly. See these things, it's in the

spirit, but God robed you in his righteousness, which means

you're wearing a robe and it has a train and the more you're in

the spirit. I said, the more you're in the

spirit, the bay, the longer your train is going to affect a place

that it will fill the whole room.

You're in And it can feel it so much.

That the people around, you can't even stand in it.

You should just do this with each other, just to help each

other out for the next few weeks.

When you go to get in the chair, you know, when you go to get

him, you just walk in and say, excuse me, can you pick your

train up? I need to get by, can you train

your training? You're trained is can you get?

Thank you right. I mean let's imagine because we

have been robed in righteousness.

Robed in Majesty we have the spirit of Glory about us because

Just made me key. He made me King.

He calls me his own. He calls me Royal Blood.

He put me in a Royal bloodline. Ooh, amen.

I mean I just love being who God says, I am Right.

Amen. You may not see my train but

it's nice. Amen, I can tell you this when I

get out around the world, they know they can't articulate it

but they know. And that's what it is.

When you encounter people that and you would like, they're

like, kind of acting a little different weird are, you know,

are they saying in your life? That's the glory.

I know my wife and I recently in multiple occasions, we've been,

we were in Charleston, West Virginia.

One time walking in primarily almost a dead mall.

I mean, didn't have a whole lot of stores.

Three stories, tall, hardly anybody in their walking all of

a sudden this lace top. She I mean she kind of like

called herself. She goes Char them, you are such

a beautiful couple like you know now natural beauty.

I'm like she's looking at my wife.

What's Happening Here, Right. But it, but I knew we knew it's

like, that's the glory, that's the glory, that's the glory.

I've been in place of with my wife on more than one occasion

where someone comments, I'm not talk about a guy.

I'm just talking about other people.

Just, there's Something up, they will say that it's the glory.

It's starting to fill the room. Are you hearing me?

We have this thing called the spirit of Glory.

We have the spirit of Holiness, y'all doing.

All right? Look at this in Romans. 1:4

Romans 1:4

says, who has declared the Son of God with power by the

resurrection, from the dead, according to the spirit of

Holiness, Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Now this word Holiness, we know Holiness.

Just literally means to be holy as to be set apart.

Okay, set apart separated unto Oh God.

Okay, you know we've made that a religious term, you know?

Oh, holy we at like holies Perfection.

Okay. Whole he's not being perfect.

Holy is your separated unto God. That means, you know, my life's

not my own, and I am doing my best to be led by a spirit

through the reading of his word, and to accomplish the purpose.

He has for my life, okay? But Holiness by definition,

Mission Again has this word to it, Majesty.

So we have the spirit of Holiness, the spirit of Glory,

there's a Majesty about you. In fact, the word Holiness means

moral purity, Moral Purity. So you're going to have a moral

Purity about you. The way you conduct the way, you

talk your speech, you'll Behavior, your interaction.

You're going to know that you're separated unto God.

I mean, have you ever been around somebody that cussing and

they find out? You're a Believer and they go

Master out. Cussed like, Why did they ask?

Why did they apologize? I'm not a priest but you

shouldn't, you know, go to a father and do that anyway.

Okay, I'm just saying don't treat me like I'm Catholic right

now and forgive me, Father for I have sinned, okay?

You told you to wrong Daddy. You need to talk to Father God,

right. Okay.

But it is interesting how they'll want to cause they why?

Because they identify your set apart.

That there's a moral Purity about you.

Okay? Now that doesn't mean you can't

blow it, I get it right, we can boil it but when we do, we

repeat quickly, we don't hang out there.

We don't want to go back and live there.

No, we want to live in the Kingdom as children of God and

stay in, right standing with him all the time, which brings us to

the fruits of the spirit. Now, the fruits of the spirit.

Because again, we're Holy Spirit Church.

All right, all listen. Let me recap these before.

I get in these last two and we'll be closing.

We have the spirit of Truth. We have the spirit of power.

We have the spirit of wisdom, a spirit of Life In Christ.

We have the spirit of Christ, the spirit of Faith, the spirit,

of Grace, the spirit of glory, and the spirit of Holiness.

I mean, my gosh, Look how powerful we are as children of

God. This is amazing and a half

possessing all of that should produce the fruits of the

spirit. Now what are these fruits of the

spirit, you know, and Galatians 5:22-23, it says this but the

Galatians 5:22–23

fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness.

So get rid of your religious tradition and quit saying you

know, I don't want to I don't want to pray to God for

patients. Well, that's so stupid.

Have you ever heard? Someone say that don't pray for

patience because that just means the devil is going to come and

try. You know, it's a fruit of the

spirit, not a way to resist an attack of the devil.

You don't develop patience because the devil is trying to

beat you up. Okay.

Oh Lord, give me more patience. If you have the spirit, you got

a lot of patience. Promise you need to start

eating. And identifying because I'm

going to show you something else here in a second, but the fruit

of the spirit is love joy. Peace, patience.

Kindness goodness, faithfulness. Gentleness self-control against

such, there is no law. Okay, so we see them, the fruit

of the spirit, we see these particular ones that we say.

Now again, in the realm of fruit, typically, we think of,

you know, like going to a tree, right?

Pulling its fruit off a plant, right?

And then you're eating the fruit, okay?

And that is fruit. I have no.

I'm with that. But here, this word fruit also

has this definition that I believe has way more application

and it means fruit of the loins. For the law as well.

What's that offspring? So we can look at this, two

ways, one the Holy Spirit. Only produces love joy, peace, o

if you're not operating. Which is a second way, you're

not stemming strating, I'm an offspring of the spirit.

Because if you're mad all the time and blow up all the time

and get upset all the time and self-control, well then you're

saying I'm not an offspring of the spirit.

If you can't be patient with anything then you're saying I'm

not an offspring of the spirit. No, I'm born again Pastor.

Then where's your fruit? Where is it?

Because if you're a child of God love joy, peace, patience,

kindness gentleness faithfulness and self-control.

Jim Chi, all those are right here.

Ready to be deployed in as an offspring of the spirit.

Because I'm born of the spirit of God, I can't help, but to do

love, I can't help. But to give over enjoy, I can't

help it. Now when I say I can't help it,

yes, you can help and cause you can resist the spirit.

Side with the flesh. But now you're at like, you're

of the different offspring. And I thought you left that

existence. Are you hearing me?

What I'm saying? Tonight is tweak your thinking

and quit acting like? This is hard to obtain and see

it as that's easy. Cause that's my nature.

So my nature, I'm an offspring of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit calls me to be born again.

Wow! And now I'm born of the spirit

of God and he lives in me. And he Bears witness with me

that I'm a Child of God, born of his Spirit, which means love

Manifests Joy. Here it is.

Peace. Right?

So you're not yelling at the TV. If you're the election, didn't

go the way you want it to. You think the whole world is

going to fall apart because it didn't go the way you thought it

was. My kingdom.

Can't be shaken. I couldn't have been at more

peace. Amen.

And if you voted yesterday, thank you.

If you did not register to vote for next time because we should

have 100% participation in voting Because the king wants

our voice heard. Are you hearing me?

If every person that was truly born of the spirit of God and

called Jesus, their lord would vote Kingdom.

Meaning the culture of the Kingdom.

Our whole society would look totally different right now.

It's Lancelot. It's the Lancelot.

But because of the illiteracy of Believers because of the wrong

teaching to Believers because you know, Believers just want to

go to heaven and die, die and go to heaven.

Right? We have problems.

Instead of them becoming disciples followers of Jesus

Christ, all right? But this is what you have.

Period. You should keep this.

Listen in front of you say this is part of me is to my

offspring. I produced this.

So, don't ever say something contrary?

Well you know you know my family, they just have hot

tempers. My family doesn't, in fact, my

dad. He knows how to man.

He holds it so long. Oh my gosh.

But when it goes, You don't want to be on the opposite side.

Go 1-0. Rath shows up.

The ones deserving of his wrath will get it.

Are you hearing me? But he is long-suffering.

One translation says that. That way he is long-suffering.

I just can't put up with this anymore.

Yeah, you can. I should have probably put

multiple translations up here actually, and you should you

should go through multiple translations.

So, you can understand these fruits that you have.

One is long-suffering in another translation, which means, but I

sure have suffered a lot. Well, is it long enough?

It could be longer. I mean, Jesus had these moments.

How much longer must I suffer with you?

He said that, but obviously on the inside is, like, little bit

longer. It's gonna be a little bit

longer, which means he had capacity.

It was an offspring. All right, we see over in Romans

Romans 15:30

15:30, on we give you a few more concerning the fruits of the

spirit, just so you can see it. It says, now I urge you Brethren

by our Lord Jesus Christ by the love of the spirit to strive

together, with me, in your prayers for God to God for me,

Romans 14:17. 19 for the kingdom of God is not eating and

Romans 14:17

drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost,

right? Holy spirit, Galatians, 6:1

Brethren. Even if anyone is caught in a

trespass, you who are spiritual restore, such a one in a spirit

of what gentleness each one looking to yourself.

So that you too will not be tempted again.

We have this capacity in us because we are of The Offspring

of the spirit, which brings us to the last spirit that we are

here in this house. So I make a demand.

The fruits of the spirit. Make a demand.

Right. Go.

Well, I just yes you can. if you have the spirit of Christ you

can, it's a la, you can do all of those nine, gifts, are fruits

of the spirit period you can If you're not, it's because you're

choosing not to you need to stop because you're saying Jesus is

Lord. This is our nature.

This is how we act, okay? But the last one, is the gifts

of the Spirit. Because not only do we have the

fruits of the spirit. We do have the gifts of the

Spirit. It's amazing how the gifts of

the Spirit have moved into a lust.

In the body of Christ. Is sad lustful.

They're very lustful for specific.

This myth specifically scuse me a handful, right?

They'll-they'll of the, the spirit of the the give this fear

of the working of Miracles, the gifts of healing, right?

And the word of knowledge and Word of Wisdom, they love those,

especially the word of knowledge of the word of knowledge is

present or past. So when they begin to operate in

them into that towards that individual, those people like

only God knew that, right? When you get into the spirit of

the gift of the word of wisdom, it's a future thing.

That, you know, it's got a prove itself.

Found that could take decades, you know.

So you know, a lot of those most people, unfortunately, I say

most, I mean, most, I really mean most, most people who are

operating in, what they are calling a word of wisdom is

really witchcraft, you know, they're just fortune-telling

because they have no foundation in the word, all right?

And again, you do not have to be spiritually mature to function

in a spiritual gift. But the more spiritually mature

you are. The more access of that

operation you would and then certain fivefold Ministry, gifts

function in them, a little more based upon that anointing,

right? Which means then a saint that

doesn't have one of the five anointings of the ministry.

Gifts should not lust to operate in it.

Like they do just be used of God period.

Okay. But we see in First Corinthians,

1 Corinthians 4:12

chapter 4 verse 12, verse 47. Now there are a variety of gifts

but the Same Spirit, okay? And we know there's not, you

know, typically, you know, the gift of tongues, you know, in

once this can be one of the easiest to operate in because,

you know, when you're baptized in the spirit are filled with

the spirit, he comes upon you and you begin to speak in

another tongue, gets your prayer language.

It can Move over to the gift of tongues.

Meaning it's going to be more. It's going to be audible enough

that everyone hears that now requires an interpretation, all

right, at that juncture, okay. And you know at that point you

know if you're in that and you know that's it then you don't

have the responsibility of now. Interpreting it although you

could but say you don't you can step off and now it's on someone

else. Now if you get that wrong then

you know it just kind of hangs out there right now when I say

that you should never be afraid of stepping out Are you hearing

me again? We do this in the realm of work

Athletics, different things, will risk certain things maybe

make a mistake, right? We hate it that we did it, but,

you know, we keep on, you know, we even make it with our kids,

you know, our kids, first time they fall off a bike.

What do we tell them? Get on it.

Let's go again. We don't say well you stink You

should have never got on that bike.

Right. Do we do that?

But yet, if someone tries to move with a gifts, and someone

who's mature and and developed in them, say maybe not know what

I mean. It's okay.

I remember one time, you know, someone that used to be without

years ago, years ago, would move with the gifts and did pretty

good was fine, but there's one particular service, a jumped-up,

And I said not at this time. It went right Tom And now I went

to Metro said, listen mode. I said, you know, Mark majority.

Tom. You're on.

I said it's just what right this time.

So don't let that discourage you.

It derailed them. Literally derailed.

And it became a pretty big challenge in their life.

I don't even if they're going to church today at all.

I mean, but it's just because why why do you do that?

Just let's move on. This is why in our services, if

you have something we asked you to come down because at the end

of the day, I may not know that the Holy Spirit wants to do that

yet. You show up.

You're the pastor surely, you're going to know really.

Not all the time. Does the fivefold minister know

exactly what's happening at the time.

I mean, when the woman whose son died that Elijah and get hazed,

I right, we're there. And he said, you're gonna have a

child. Will that child dies?

Member, she comes to find the man of God, and she has, he gets

closer falls down at his feet, and the servants might to beat

her off him, and he's like, no, the Lord hadn't.

Let me know, right? But you know we just want to

pick up what the religious say. Well if Jesus were a prophet, he

know what kind of woman this is right. whether Jesus needs to

know what kind of woman is there, not what he did know is

what she doing is way better than what you did, because you

didn't kiss me, you didn't offer to clean my feet, but this woman

right here, Though, her sins may be many.

Everybody going to remember her. And no one else he was saying,

everybody go remember you the one who did do it, right?

Right, I don't know, maybe we'll look over in the lake of fire

safe. You did Guy.

You should have got the alabaster box, bro.

Right. Okay, so the gifts of the

Spirit, you know, they function, they operate and again why are

they here to point people to Jesus?

Not to you. So anyone who begins to operate

in the gifts that all of a sudden people start coming up

and saying, hey, you know, can you pray that you better be like

better, get off me. You need to learn how to no, no.

Don't do that. But, you know, how many people

love that and now you're taking an anointing, that's Jesus's.

That's the spirit and you trying to call claim it as your own.

That's wrong. It's the point people to Jesus.

Because they always have to come to you.

I know of some that have come to me and I've definitely given

them a word of knowledge about certain things and they've acted

on it and it's worked and then they come every time Pastor you

say and I do it is actually you say it works.

But then they've come and I said and I'm like, I ain't got

nothing. even if I had some I don't have nothing. then they

come back, you know, I did this, I said well and that awesome you

heard the spirit of God because that's the goal.

The goal is not for me, become your personal Seance person.

Let's call it for what it is. They get out in the lobby and

they want to say, aunts over people.

Get little guests come in and act like they thought a little

titles around. Didn't want to try to pin you up

and prophesy over? You, you need to say, get thee

behind me. Satan don't even know who you

are. Are you hearing me so much

goofiness? I'm not saying a person couldn't

come in and do something. I understand that, but a person

who's really useful. Yielding is submitted to God.

I'm Telling you they'll resist as hard as they can because they

don't want to undermine the authority of the house.

In fact, they be like, you know, I believe the Lord has given me

a word for you, but can you go get your pastor?

it's right, and honorable Are you hearing me now?

Again? Most of us know each other and

we commune enough that you're not like, hey Pastor, I got two

were for. So and so on, you're coming to

me, I get that. Because some of y'all are saying

stuff, this people I'm aware. And just because I'm not correct

to, you doesn't mean you're right.

But I will tell you this, you better be right?

But goes don't think God takes it lightly.

That you say thus, saith the Lord to somebody, you better be

right? I remember Pastor Mike and

Angie, we were in Gamble Rogers and Angie had a miscarriage.

And so I was laying hands on people to be healed and I'll

never forget that service and I was going down.

The Lord said, tell Pastor Mike and Angie that this time next

year, they'll have a child. I said I'm not doing it.

Know why I'm resisting calls, man.

You better be right. It, you better stop and talk

with the Lord. A little bit so I did because

I'm like man and I lay hands on a few more people and it just

keeps coming up, right? So I'm talking because I'm like

I got to know that I know, I gotta know that I know And then

I said it. And then later on, I give

another, I said, you have as many children if you as you

want, if you wanted them. Right?

But I've not said that. I don't know that I've ever said

that. Did anyone else?

Be honest with you? Which means I'm not looking to

continue to do something. And oh, by the way, by that

time, that last next year, she had a child, she was with child.

Her name is Abigail. I said her name is Abigail.

You can meet her today, she's alive.

Okay. My point is is that you need to

know. So when you're operating the

gifts, we should be in awe and understand the responsibility of

that, okay, we want to move but we got to do things decent in

order. In fact, Paul is talking to the

Corinthian Church, not because they didn't exercise it.

I mean, I could literally call some people out right now that

have given words and it's been extremely accurate, but I have

to be cautious because the middle I do.

I put undue pressure on these individuals that the immature

will start running around, but I will call one out, mr.

Barry, would you stand? He's with our he's on my board.

Stand up mr. Barry.

I'm mr. Berry is number one in

encourager and extreme encourager.

Okay, he has that gift. He's like a, he's like Barnabas.

If you feel bad just show up and talk to mr.

Berry, he'll get you right now, mr.

Barry has battle wounds though. Not just here because all

churches have this issue because the enemy wants to destroy the

church, all of them, but at other ones where people come to

him and badmouth things and he has track record of keeping it

straight, it doesn't mean he gets them turned but he shall

keep it straight. He won't let the negative things

be spoken about people are you hearing me?

God has used him. To communicate a word of

knowledge in people's lives. It has happened.

It has happened, we had one. And again I'm just want to I

want to bring this up because very important he gave a word to

an individual that they would be promoted.

They went up for promotion. They did not get it.

And they got mad about it offended.

Quit coming to church. and then in the National was trying to do

and they died, They died and at their funeral, they were

promoted. Because God made sure his word

was truth. The problem is is that he didn't

tell him, he would get promoted at the next opportunity.

The problem with words of knowledge or these words of

wisdom that come out as well, is that it doesn't mean it's the

next time. Right.

Amen. So reason I pulled him up

because if I see y'all over there talking to him, I'm

thankful for his ministry. I'm thankful for his gift to our

body because you know, through the years, you know, people they

they struggle at Tom's, your flesh gets you.

You know, and mr. Berry has a way of helping you

stay straight without having to be the one that actually

corrects you. That's my job.

Right. That's my job.

I do that, right? Other leaders do that.

Mr. Barry even though he's correcting, he just does it in a

way that can help you along. If you listen, I remember one

particular person that got off bad in the Lord, spoke to mr.

Barry said, go see maybe in our church for months.

And was able to get them back in and once they got back in, we

got their family, got restored and that family still with each

other today. Now, they're not here.

They've moved to another state. But you know what, I'm thankful

for that, right? Because we're being led by the

spirit, the opportunities of the gifts of the Spirit, but Paul

had to correct. And here's what he said, he

said. Now when you're in service,

we're only going to allow three expressions of gifts of the

Spirit to get an operation, and we going to preach the word.

So make no mistake about when people are starting to move.

I'm counting. Now, sometimes the gift of the

spirit of function when Pastor Marcus is ministering Hill, all

of a sudden, get unction. And say something by unction by

all. Why is the gift of Prophecy?

Which is an edification for us. So I'm like, there's one.

So there may get a couple. So then you by the time you come

down, I'm like the Bible says man to no more than three.

So you could have had something that's just your for now.

And at the end of the day, we're just not going to let it fly,

but then there are other times guys.

I'm just going to be honest with you.

You're here in the Holy Ghost but it's not for the

congregation. It is for you.

It's really just for you and I'll be bold enough to look at

you and say, I think that's for you.

Now some I've known where service is going.

Here's another thing I'm teaching now I know that I'm

fixing a minister, multiple services on something specific

and they'll come and say man I've got this to seem like

you're something here, okay. And they tell me and I'm like,

that's not this week that's next week.

I said, hold that. Because I know that's not for

here, but God's already giving you something.

For the next week. Right.

Now here's another thing when it comes to the gifts, some of you

may get something, but you don't move.

And it's not that you don't want to move, you just don't.

But then once it's given your like I have that you know why

God does that to give you confidence because there's going

to come a day now that he's going to say.

Now you go up Because in that moment you're like I had that.

I mean I could have done that in the Lord's, like you could have

done that, that's right, you heard me.

So when I called on you bingo, Which then brings me to this

correction, if you get something, don't move.

You may be affecting somebody. Because what you have is not for

you anyway. Amen.

Okay, so we have the gifts of the Spirit.

And for me, we're not this super mega church, right?

I can't tell you, we'd ever be that But if we are, I'm at

there's got to be a way that the gifts can still operate in a

service, because I've been to too many large churches where it

doesn't happen except with a few and the Saints, in general.

Can't. Now, there are more challenges

with that. Don't get me wrong.

But I'm like, Lord, if the gifts are for the church, it doesn't

matter how big the size is then there should because it's as you

will. And that doesn't mean only on

the Pastoral staff. So we have to be to have just as

much capacity to be able to say well okay dondon.

Stand up so everybody can see who you are.

Don. Yes, that's you lady.

Work out the gym all the time. Yes thank you.

Don here, right. All of a sudden the Lord is

speaking to her. I have just as much to say have

to say does she have it and discern that So we can release

it and she can get up here and do it.

Thank you, Don. I appreciate it.

Amen. Okay.

But we are a church that loves and values and earnestly

desires, spiritual gifts. Amen.

And I close with this verse just to remind you first.

1 John 4:4

John 4:4. You are from God.

Little children. And have overcome them.

Because greater is he, who is in you than he, who is in the

world, right? And he, who is in the world, God

has made, given made us a church, that's full of Truth.

The spirit of Truth, Spirit of power, Spirit of wisdom,

Holiness, Grace. All those that I've said, we

have his fruits, we're going to function in his fruits and we

can yield, as he Wills to his gifts, to edify the body and

strengthen people. And to be at a speak to those Is

that are outside God's Kingdom in such a way like God, did like

Jesus did. Yeah, you don't have a husband.

In fact, the last five, you've had five and the one you're

wearing now you're not, she's like I perceive your profit

right, but she gave him to the kingdom that day because of a

word of knowledge. And we need to function that

way. In fact, I would encourage you,

you should earnestly desire, it more for where you're at day, in

and day out, then just in church.

There's a place in the church to do it.

We know that cuz Paul talks about it in First Corinthians,

he's talking to the church but we also know that you can

function just in everyday life and you can really help someone

come into the kingdom because you have the greater one on the

inside. Thank you so much for listening
