  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoy this message, we're full of it.

  4. So pastors been talking about being full of joy.

  5. Amen. But I want to go in a vein this

  6. morning. And just continue with keeping

  7. that title full of it. You've been taught the last few

  8. weeks that we are to be full of what joy and the joy of the Lord

  9. is our strength. So we shouldn't be sad.

  10. No, we should be happy. Amen.

  11. We should be full of joy and joy.

  12. Don't just come from this world or anything.

  13. This world can give us. True Joy comes from within amen.

  14. From the hole, Holy ghost from the Lord.

  15. Amen. Well, being full of God is what

  16. I want to talk about this morning.

  17. Being full of God. Hallelujah.

  18. And I want to start out of Ephesians chapter 3 and verse

    Ephesians 3 chapter mention

  19. 19, Ephesians 3. These are great prayers to pray

  20. over your life. We have prayed these prayers out

  21. of Ephesians over the church since we have started this

  22. church going on 18 years now where is my?

  23. I just had it this morning. If you do not have one of these,

  24. they are out in guest relations. Since I encourage you to get

  25. this out and pray these prayers over your life.

  26. These our prayers, that Paul prayed for the churches, are you

  27. part of his church? Amen.

  28. So when you read these scriptures, I like what brother

  29. Hagin used to say years ago, you just insert your name in there.

  30. Well, we've inserted anchor Faith Church's name in there.

  31. Amen. And we pray these over the

  32. church. We pray these For our lives.

  33. Amen. And believe that.

  34. What the scripture says we can have?

  35. Well, anyway, actually this week when we brought his her his

  36. mother home. I found you know, because she 77

  37. and so I found some old brother Hagin, I don't even know if they

  38. were tapes or CDs or what they were because it was up on

  39. YouTube. And I found some of old brother

  40. Hagins old YouTube. You know, things for her to just

  41. sit and listen and watch. And I figured she might like

  42. looking at him because he was older, you know?

  43. And, and so just listening to him.

  44. Well, he got to start reading out of a fijians.

  45. And I said, well, praise God. That's where I'm going.

  46. This morning. This was on Tuesday.

  47. So Ephesians chapter 3 and verse has 19 says this and to know,

    Ephesians 3 chapter mention

  48. Know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that you may

  49. be what filled up to all the fullness of God.

  50. So I ask you this morning. Are you filled up?

  51. Are you full of it? Are you so filled up with God

  52. and are you so full of God that no matter what?

  53. Come on, where are you going? What's going on, what the

  54. situation of the Day brings that God just oozes out of you

  55. because you so filled up. You're so full of God.

  56. He expects you as a Believer to be full, not to be dry, come on.

  57. But to be full, and we talked about that a little bit in our

  58. prayer earlier this morning at corporate prayer, is that, you

  59. know, we've got to State act into the filling station, right?

  60. We've got to keep our nozzle in the tank.

  61. That's the only way we're going to stay.

  62. Filled up and full is if we're keeping our nozzle in the tank,

  63. where it's flowing, where it's flowing, amen.

  64. Where it's flowing because it's not flowing from this world guys

  65. at all. Nothing this world can give you

  66. nothing of this world can give you anything of any good.

  67. You should be so filled up with the word of God.

  68. So, filled up with the life of God.

  69. So, filled up with everything that he says about you.

  70. That when the day comes, you know, who is in you and no

  71. matter what comes your way you can overcome it, amen, filled

  72. up, you know what He said and the passion translation when you

  73. read that scripture, he says filled up to overflowing with

  74. the fullness of God. Overflowing is your life

  75. overflowing? Come on with the goodness of

  76. God, is your life overflowing with the things of God, that

  77. when you are walking through your day, when you're going

  78. about it, your job when you're going to the Walmart or wherever

  79. you go, whatever it is. Are you so enthusiastic And full

  80. of God that when people see you, they're like wow what in the

  81. world or when they hear you, right, they recognized.

  82. They're recognizing that you are full of God, full of the life of

  83. God. Amen, Hallelujah.

  84. Now, let me read that out of Ephesians and I want to go back

  85. up to verse 14. And I want to read it all the

  86. way down to 21, listen to what this scripture says.

  87. For this reason, this is that prayer.

  88. I was telling you about that, Paul prayed for the churches and

  89. that we can pray for this. reason I bow my knees before,

  90. the father from whom every family in Earth, Heaven from

  91. every family in heaven and on Earth derives its name that he

  92. would Grant you grant you according to the riches of his

  93. glory, right to be strengthened, say strengthened with power,

  94. through his spirit and that you be rooted and grounded in love

  95. would be able to Comprehend. With all the saints, what is the

  96. breadth? The length, the height, the

  97. depth and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses

  98. knowledge that you would be filled up to all the fullness of

  99. God. Now to him, who is able to do

  100. far more abundantly beyond all that we could ask or think

  101. according to the, what the power that works in God, the power

  102. that works in God. Where is it working that power

  103. in US? Is his power working in you.

  104. Are you letting it work? Come on, it's not working in

  105. God. It's working in us who believe

  106. it's working in us, if we allow it to work to him, be the glory

  107. in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever

  108. and ever, amen. Now I want to read verse 19 out

  109. of the Amplified. Somebody got upset, I heard a

  110. couple weeks ago because the passion translations, not a real

  111. we don't just read out of the Translation.

  112. We get the scripture from the King James and then we read what

  113. it's saying and all the other things that we read are just

  114. little you know, supplements to help us understand it in today's

  115. vernacular. Goodness.

  116. I thought we were over not being able to read out anything but

  117. the King James in that something the world, you know, act like

  118. they're so, you know what, you know, and that they still

  119. religious. People just want to keep camping

  120. on old school. They don't want anything old

  121. school but the religious people want old school.

  122. Come on, nobody's trying to do away with what it means.

  123. We're just trying to add other words to help you understand it

  124. and comprehend it more, amen, hallelujah.

  125. So the Amplified classic says this that you may really come to

  126. know particularly Through experience for yourself.

  127. The love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge,

  128. without experience that you may be filled through.

  129. All your being filled through all of your being through filled

  130. through all of your being remember, first Thessalonians,

  131. what 523? He expects a spirit soul and

  132. body. Be blameless until the returning

  133. of Christ. So here, when he says, he

  134. expects us to be filled with our what and through our entire

  135. being everything, our mind needs to be filled with the word of

  136. God. Our Spirits are full of God,

  137. because we're recreated in the likeness of Christ.

  138. Amen. And then our body, we need to be

  139. so full. Of God in our lives.

  140. Amen. In every area.

  141. And so he goes on to say until all the fullness of God, may

  142. have the richest measure of his divine presence and become a

  143. body. Holy flood field and flooded

  144. with God himself, Field and flooded with God himself, we are

  145. not living in a day that we need to be running with our tanks

  146. half. Full or half empty, however, you

  147. want to see it and say it. Right.

  148. We're not supposed to be running on empty at all as Believers.

  149. We need to be filled up at all times and we have that access to

  150. be filled with the fullness of God at all times.

  151. So that nothing takes us off of guard or by surprise, right?

  152. Hallelujah, glory to God. Are y'all getting this Ephesians

  153. 123 says this? Which is his body, the fullness

  154. of him who fills all in, all he expected us to live a full life

  155. and recognizing that the body is the fullness of him.

  156. Amen. And he feels that all in all

  157. everything, everything there is nothing, lacking or missing.

  158. With him but only fullness fullness in him.

  159. Hallelujah, let me read that out of the Amplified, which is his

  160. body, the fullness of him who fills all in all four in that

  161. body lives the full measure of him.

  162. So, in his body, how many of you are born again and in the body

  163. of Christ, he expects it to even be the full measure of him.

  164. The full measure of him. All of us coming full.

  165. Not it D, but coming full. How would that look, if every

  166. believer that came into the church, this is why we pastor

  167. says that would be in great expectation.

  168. Great, you know, filled up and ready to receive the word of God

  169. because you didn't have to barely get here because you had

  170. a long week and you were so tired and worn out and could

  171. barely make it to church. But you actually are a person

  172. that believes the scripture that he said that I can stay full.

  173. I can stay full of God and I can walk in this fullness at all

  174. times. Amen.

  175. Hallelujah. You can walk in this fullness at

  176. all times glory to God. Now look at Colossians to see

  177. all through the book of Jen's Colossians Philippians, you

  178. know, off Thessalonians. All through these books, which

  179. were written Corinthians to the churches.

  180. He lets us know what we should be as a Believer what we should

  181. look at look like as a Believer. How many of you see Believers

  182. that are? Well, I don't know, I don't

  183. know. You know.

  184. No. Beatdown.

  185. Not full of life. Sad is the world.

  186. Right. Just pressed as the world.

  187. I mean, come on. Now, when the Believers of the

  188. Church of the Living, God are walking in as much depression as

  189. is in the world. Something ain't right?

  190. Something is missing. Amen.

  191. What is that? They're not walking and tapping

  192. into the fullness of God. Amen, when 50 percent of

  193. marriages in the church, our people are getting divorced.

  194. We expected in the world. But come on in the church.

  195. Something's missing. You're not full of it.

  196. You're not full of it. You're full of other things.

  197. Now, let's just be honest. We're full of other things were

  198. full of our work. Full of all the distractions.

  199. Full, come on. We're full of all these other

  200. things that are pulling us away from the fullness of God,

  201. flowing and operating in our lives.

  202. Amen. But he wants us to live full.

  203. So Colossians 2:9 says this for n him, say in him in him, all

    Colossians 2:9

  204. the fullness of deity, dwells in bodily form in him all deity.

  205. Dwells. And if the Bible says, we are in

  206. Christ. And guess what?

  207. All of God can dwell in US. Who he is his nature.

  208. The fullness of him can't dwell in us every day.

  209. We don't have to be dry. We don't have to be empty.

  210. Come on, we can keep the flow going.

  211. Hallelujah. Now, let me read that out of the

  212. passion translation and I want to read verses 10 as well.

  213. So Colossians 2:9 through 10. The passion translation says

    Colossians 2:9–10

  214. this for, he is the complete fullness of deity, living in

  215. human form and our own completeness here, it is, is

  216. found now in him Our own completeness is found.

  217. Now in him, when you get born again, you get in Christ.

  218. And guess what? That means.

  219. You become complete. You don't need a man to complete

  220. you. Come on.

  221. You don't need a job to complete you.

  222. You don't need all these things that the world says you have to

  223. have to complete you. You can be complete in Christ.

  224. Amen. And That's what we need.

  225. People that know that they are complete in Christ.

  226. Hallelujah your complete in him. Doesn't matter what anybody says

  227. about you. Your complete in him, your

  228. complete in him if you believe it amen and walk in it.

  229. And then it goes on to say we are completely filled with God

  230. as Christ, fullness overflows within us.

  231. He is the head of every Kingdom and Authority in the universe.

  232. Glory to God. Reminding us that he is a king

  233. and he is the king of And so if he's the king, and he is full of

  234. himself and deity, then guess what?

  235. If he says, we are Kings than we need to be full in Christ.

  236. Amen. And walk in our King shit.

  237. We will never see the kingdom rise in our life.

  238. We will never see us rising up and taking our position as kings

  239. in the earth. If we do not recognize that we

  240. are complete in him and it is healed.

  241. That feels all And all and me everything, everything I need is

  242. found in him. Amen.

  243. Found in him in that what he says completely filled with God

  244. and then it overflows. So it's not just for you.

  245. Your life should be a Living Sacrifice that's flowing flowing

  246. out of you. Reaching people all around you

  247. so that when people see you, they see the life of God.

  248. Amen. That's what I really wanted to

  249. administer on today. I was, you know, being a Living

  250. Sacrifice and a living epistle. See he doesn't say we're dead.

  251. He says we're to be living. So are you acting dead?

  252. And if you're acting dead that, it's a result of you not being

  253. full in Christ. Amen.

  254. But the Lord said this. So we're going with this, amen,

  255. because it doesn't matter what I want.

  256. It's what he wants for you, amen.

  257. It's what he wants for you. So I have several several

  258. scriptures that talks about things that we should be full of

  259. say I'm full of it. Say I'm full of it.

  260. Say I'm full of it. Say it like you mean it one more

  261. time, one more time. All right.

  262. I might Leave it. John 10:10 says this.

    John 10:10

  263. Now, let's look at it. It says, I've got 10 points.

  264. Let's see if we get through it. If y'all listen real good, we

  265. might John 10:10. He says this, and I'm going to

    John 10:10

  266. read it out of the Amplified first and then the passion it

  267. says, the thief comes only in order to steal kill and destroy.

  268. Who's the thief who is it? Don't be afraid to say his name.

  269. Say it again. The devil.

  270. Where is he? Under our feet, I'm not afraid

  271. of the devil. Amen.

  272. He's under our feet. Don't be afraid to say it.

  273. Timid to be saying his word. In the church, you ought to know

  274. there's a devil on the loose, and he's out to kill steal, and

  275. destroy your life and your children's life.

  276. And any seed after that your children's Children's life amen.

  277. That's what he's after. He's real and we have a good God

  278. and there's a real devil. Amen.

  279. And he's only out to kill your life and destroy it.

  280. Amen. So 10:10 says the thief only

  281. comes in order to steal kill and destroy but I came that you

  282. would have what have life and enjoy.

  283. This Amplified classic says, are you enjoying life?

  284. I'm not talking about because everything's joyful.

  285. I mean, I'm in a situation right now that I'm looking at a person

  286. thinking, this is not a joyful situation.

  287. Right. Not everything's joyful.

  288. Until she says, look I got, I got two tattoos today.

  289. It's where she got her IVs in and she thought she went and got

  290. tattoos at 77. And if you knew his mother, you

  291. would know that is far from anything she would ever do.

  292. So not every I mean I can't lie laughed because I mean laughter

  293. does good like a medicine and I'm just going to laugh at that.

  294. I mean anything I can laugh at I'm going to laugh at.

  295. So when you tell me you just got two tattoos and I won't tell you

  296. the other thing she said but anyway I'm thinking, I don't

  297. know if I want the church ladies to come sit with her.

  298. I don't know what she might say. Who anyway, Hallelujah, glory to

  299. God, she has the mind of Christ. She's gonna be in her right

  300. mind. Amen, hallelujah.

  301. So anyway, not everything is joyful, but when Christ is in

  302. you and you're full of him, come on.

  303. Then you can walk it out, enjoy. You can walk out in any

  304. situation, full of God and anointed in the situation.

  305. See, I'm not gonna get burned. And wore out having to be a

  306. caregiver because I know where my help comes from.

  307. I know where my strength comes from.

  308. I've tapped into it. See, I don't do anything in My

  309. Own Strength, amen? When you know, you're full of

  310. it, you don't have to Glory to God.

  311. So he says, but I've come to give you a joke.

  312. Sorry, I'm reading the wrong scripture, I have enjoyed, I

  313. might, you know, I got a lot going on in this mind.

  314. So I have the mind of Christ. Hallelujah, and have it in

  315. abundance to the what this is the Amplified to the full, until

  316. it, what overflows to the full until it overflows.

  317. That's what kind of life he wants.

  318. You to have life. So the first thing he wants you

  319. to have is life. He wants you to have a life and

  320. enjoy life and be full in this life.

  321. Amen. Enjoying this life.

  322. And letting this life overflow with the fullness of God, and

  323. the goodness of God. Amen.

  324. His goodness is running after me.

  325. That's what I say. It's running after me.

  326. Hallelujah. So full of life is number one.

  327. He wants us to be full of life. Now let did I read that of the

  328. Amplified? Okay, let me read it out of the

  329. passion. A thief has only one thing in

  330. mind. He wants to still Slaughter.

  331. I like this and Destroy, but I have come to give you everything

  332. in abundance more than you can expect a life in its fullness

  333. and Kill you over flow. Hallelujah.

  334. That's what kind of life. He comes to bring a full life.

  335. So we have to ask ourselves. Are we living the full life?

  336. Are we living in fullness? Are we living?

  337. So full and so excited about the day that he has made every day?

  338. And this is the day that he is made and we gonna what rejoice

  339. and be glad in it that I get to get up today.

  340. Day, come on and walk and work his principles in the earth in

  341. every situation and scenario in our life.

  342. Because I'm full of it. Say, I'm full of it.

  343. Hallelujah, full of life. Now, let me read what fullness

  344. means in the Greek. All right, I want you guys to

  345. see this fullness in. The Greek means this to furnish

  346. A full measure, a liberal Supply filled to the brim, filled up to

  347. a bound to render full and complete to execute and to

  348. accomplish any undertaking to bring it to pass.

  349. Hallelujah. To bring it to pass.

  350. So when you, when he's saying, you are living in the fullness

  351. of God and you are living filled up.

  352. Listen, there is nothing that cannot be executed in your life

  353. that you can't. Come on.

  354. Walk in it. Amen.

  355. And over come and be so abounding in every situation, I

  356. love what Paul says, I've learned how to what abound in in

  357. all things in the little And then much.

  358. I've learned I've learned how to be content in every situation in

  359. life because I know where my help comes from.

  360. I know my source, I know where my filling station is, I know

  361. how to get filled up and walk in fullness and keep my tank full

  362. so that it never has to run dry. Do you think that God would run

  363. out of oil? You know, there is Pastor meth

  364. meant minister to message years ago, years ago now, I don't know

  365. how many years ago it was called, just had it in my head.

  366. All crisis, we're in an oil crisis, spiritually, he was

  367. talking about and oil crisis, you know, there is not an oil

  368. crisis in this earth. just, you know, and there's not an oil

  369. crisis in the kingdom of God. God has put every resource in

  370. this earth since the day of Genesis 1:26 and 28 and he said

    Genesis 1:26

  371. let man everything that he would need to sustain Mankind in the

  372. earth will be in the earth until he returns.

  373. Everything. So don't listen to the lies of

  374. gas, shortages and oil shortages.

  375. Now, you can listen to the world's lies, but I choose to

  376. listen to the whom I believe. Because I know that our God, put

  377. everything in the earth, that man would ever need to be able

  378. to do everything God needed to do in the Earth for his people

  379. until he returns everything. Everything, everything,

  380. Hallelujah, glory to God. I don't know how I got over on

  381. that. But anyway, oh boy.

  382. Oh yes, oil is a representation and type and Shadow of the We

  383. ghost of the Holy Ghost in the Bible.

  384. So all we have to do is what keep ourselves field and it will

  385. never run dry. There is no oil crisis.

  386. In the kingdom of God, there's plenty of oil for everybody to

  387. run on full at all times anywhere all over the world.

  388. You just have to stay tapped into it tapped into it, amen.

  389. To be able to learn how to pump it out.

  390. We talked about this in prayer that you can have the, the

  391. nozzle in the gas, you can pull up to the gas station, you can

  392. have the nozzle in, but guess whose responsibility it is still

  393. if you're going to receive that flow of gas into your tank.

  394. You're going to have to what Pump It.

  395. You're going to have to pump it. You're going to have to pop it,

  396. the gas is there, and the nozzles even in that's us the

  397. type and Shadow of us. We if you're born again, the

  398. Holy Ghost is on the inside of you.

  399. Now, there is the being filled with the Holy Spirit the coming

  400. upon you with evidence of speaking in tongues and watch

  401. that is all flowing in your life.

  402. You can have a constant flow if you keep the pump.

  403. Running. A constant flow of constant

  404. flow. Hallelujah.

  405. You are the only one that can keep that flow going.

  406. I know people that take it out. You know, take out the nozzle

  407. they don't want the flow running anymore.

  408. You know, they've maybe once experienced it but then they

  409. they don't want it anymore for their life and they just take

  410. the nozzle out and then they live defeated and everything

  411. else. When it's right there right

  412. there for you to tap into, amen? Right there for you to tap into

  413. so that you don't have to live a life.

  414. That is not full because he wants to have a full measure in

  415. your life liberally Supply. Something in your life, Phil you

  416. to the brim, amen. He wants to you to abound in

  417. everything to be full to be able to accomplish any undertaking to

  418. bring it to pass. Amen.

  419. He wants you to walk in fullness and abundance in him.

  420. Hallelujah, the next thing is, is that as we see what fullest

  421. fullness means the next. Number two thing is, let's look

  422. here in John, 16, he wants you to be full.

  423. Love Grace. See, it wasn't just about being

  424. full of it with joy. There's many things.

  425. He wants you to be full of full of life, and now let's look at

  426. another thing. He says, full of grace, full of

  427. grace, Hallelujah. So, John 1:16 says it this way

    John 1:16

  428. and from the Overflow of his fullness, we have received Grace

  429. heaped, upon, Grace, Grace heaped upon Grace.

  430. More grace is what one translation says, amen.

  431. There is a overflow of his fullness of Grace in your life

  432. heaped, upon, Grace. I mean, so this grace in your

  433. life is unending and if you understand that it's not just

  434. saving grace that he wants you to think about know, Grace was

  435. more than just saving you so that when you die you.

  436. To go to heaven Grace, was there?

  437. Now, to empower you to walk in everything that God says?

  438. You can walk in that Grace, now is empowering Grace,

  439. strengthening Grace anything that you need.

  440. Come on Grace, Grace heaped, upon Grace, being able to tap

  441. it, man. You may need some Grace and

  442. raised in your teenagers right now will tap into it.

  443. It and he'll give you a heap and full of it, amen?

  444. Just whatever. It's there for you and all you

  445. have to do is learn how to tap into it.

  446. Praise the Lord. Let me read that one out of the

  447. Amplified that was the passion translation that I actually read

  448. it out of. So the Amplified says that this

  449. for out of his fullness, His abundant see, there it is.

  450. So the Amplified actually just Cliff eyes, the word and put in

  451. what the Greek words. Original intense were.

  452. So they're not adding to or taken away from the King James,

  453. they're just putting in what the Greek says that word, you know,

  454. and amplifying it so that you can understand it more.

  455. So, for out of his fullness, his abundance, we have all received,

  456. all had to share and we were all supplied.

  457. There's that word supplied? Which what?

  458. Fullness It means with one Grace after another spiritual

  459. blessing, upon spiritual blessing, and even favor, upon

  460. favor, and gift heaped upon gift.

  461. That's why we say his favor is and his goodness is running us

  462. down. Hallelujah.

  463. When you're tacked into it, it can be heaped upon you because

  464. he wants you to walk in that fullness, maybe your marriage is

  465. a mess, right? Now, listen, tap into the grace,

  466. tap into that Grace, to be able to get you through this

  467. situation, to be able to overcome.

  468. Whatever it is. That may be hindering, you and

  469. your marriage tap into it, tap into the grace that Supply,

  470. that's there to strengthen you and give you what you need to be

  471. able to walk it out. Forgiveness, come on.

  473. Love again for somebody that you think you could never love

  474. again. Tap into it, right?

  475. You can tap into it because the love of God.

  476. What Romans 5:5 has been shed abroad in our hearts?

    Romans 5:5

  477. Hallelujah. And we can walk full in the

  478. fullness of his love to bring restoration into a situation.

  479. But all we have to do is say everyday father.

  480. I thank you that you give me Grace I tap into this grace,

  481. show me what I need to do, tell me what I need to say, cuz what

  482. I want to say it, I'm going to be too nice, but what you might

  483. say, is going to be good, right? See he loves you like that every

  484. day. He wants to just be right there

  485. in the midst of everything that you're doing.

  487. marriage, or in your life, or with your children, or wherever

  488. it is in your Place everyday Grace for you.

  489. Amen. Is there if you'll just tap into

  490. it. Amen.

  491. Glory to God. The next point, is Glory, Glory

  492. Full Of His Glory. Hallelujah, Colossians 1:27 says

    Colossians 1:27

  493. this to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of his

  494. glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ.

  495. It in you the hope of glory, say Christ in me, the hope of glory

  496. that's what the world needs to be seeing in you.

  497. Amen. Which is the hope of glory.

  498. Yeah, the hope of glory. Do you know what Glory means the

  499. full measure, the full weight of who he is.

  500. That's what Glory means. When he said the the temple was

  501. what field was it hassle? No he said the temple was what

  502. filled with his. Oh and Isaiah actually says

  503. maybe or Psalms and the whole earth is going to be what

  504. Lacking in his glory half full of his glory, no always full of

  505. his glory filled with his glory because he is a God that wants

  506. to feel you up to full measure of his glory and the world ought

  507. to look at you as a Believer and say, there's got to be hope

  508. because look at the glory of God upon their life, there's got to

  509. be home. Hope if we are just as hopeless

  510. as the world's, that's a shame that we don't know better than

  511. that. If we're defeated just as the

  512. world, then we're shame. Come on.

  513. Because I'm going to tell you what, the greater ones living on

  514. the inside of you greater is he that's in you than he that's in

  515. the world. So, how could we be acting just

  516. like the world? Amen.

  517. No, we have a greater God. Amen.

  518. We have a, god of fullness, we have a god of abundance.

  519. He, we have a God that wants us to live such a full life that

  520. people look, and just are in awe at your life.

  521. Not that everything's wonderful and perfect.

  522. But they can see the hand of God working through you.

  523. Hallelujah. See we think it's got to be like

  524. this bed of roses. Well, I'm going to tell you.

  525. My life has never been a better roses.

  526. Everybody just thinks you know. Well once you get born again,

  527. it's just going to be a better of it.

  528. Ashley, everything's actually been difficult in my life.

  529. Difficult. Very difficult, he didn't give

  530. me an easy Journey. No, he gave me a journey in him

  531. that I could walk in fullness, completeness, come on and and,

  532. and be able to thrive in everything that I'm doing.

  533. Amen, full of Glory. That's what he wants you to be.

  534. So that people see, there's got to be hope for this world.

  535. Amen. The next thing is full of Hey,

  536. are you full of Faith? You know, it's sad when I read

  537. the Scripture, it just always Grieves me when he says, when I

  538. return. Will I, what y'all hear me?

  539. Talk about it all the time? Well, I find what, when he

  540. returns will? I even find faith in the Earth?

  541. Will I find Faith? What do you mean?

  542. Will you find faith? Wow, that just boggles my mind

  543. to think. They are.

  544. And, and now that I'm seeing so many people that used to say

  545. they had faith and now they have none.

  546. And they're not even living for the Lord.

  547. Right. They're not even being full of

  548. him anymore. Now let me read this and Hebrews

    Hebrews 10:22

  549. 10:22. It says this.

  550. Let us draw near with a True Heart in full Assurance of

  551. faith. Full Assurance of Faith.

  552. He wants us to have full Assurance of faith in our lives.

  553. Hallelujah, a faith in our lives that it is so full.

  554. That we are so assured in everything that we are doing

  555. having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.

  556. Wow. No longer do we have to live in

  557. guilt and condemnation and shame.

  558. And if you are, then you're still living up underneath

  559. bondage from the enemy. Guilt condemnation and shame

  560. comes from the enemy unless you're still participating in

  561. sin. Because once sin is cut from

  562. your life, there would be no more consciousness of guilt and

  563. shame because the blood has covered it.

  564. Amen. Hallelujah, the blood covers it

  565. all. Now, if you're still tapping

  566. into it, then that's why you still feel that, right?

  567. Even though you may be born again, you got to sever it all.

  568. Where is the Consciousness actually has to do with the mind

  569. to write? So you got to get this mind

  570. renewed, remind renew to what the blood says you are.

  571. Your mind renewed to what the blood says you are.

  572. Hallelujah. So full of faith.

  573. Now the next point is to be full of the spirit full of the spirit

  574. of God. And this is where your key text

  575. is that, if we're going to walk in the fullness of everything

  576. that God says that we can walk into them.

  577. We must be full of the spirit of God.

  578. Look, what Ephesians 5:18 says, do not get drunk with wine.

    Ephesians 5:18

  579. Why people? Take that out of context, I

  580. still don't understand because I ain't seen nothing good comes

  581. from alcohol. The TV shows, don't prove what

  582. you see with these homeless, people living on the streets.

  583. So still believe what the word says.

  584. Overall, the hip pastors that let you drink.

  585. Okay, we're not hip and I don't care.

  586. I got hips butt. Amen.

  587. Read it in the Greek. It literally says it in the

  588. Greek. Look it up buttercup.

  589. That's what I say. Hallelujah, I'm full of, it's a

  590. full of it glory to God. Hallelujah.

  591. Ephesians 5:18 it says and do not get drunk with wine for this

    Ephesians 5:18

  592. for that is debauchery but ever be what field and stimulated

  593. With the Holy Spirit when you know, how to tap into the Holy

  594. Spirit, you don't want that old nasty drink and stuff and

  595. everybody knows it was nasty when you first tasted it till

  596. you got used to, you had to once you got it past the gag reflex,

  597. right? Taste it now that.

  598. So he lets us know listen don't be drunk with all of that but be

  599. filled and stimulated. See most people want to get

  600. drunk because they want to get stimulated.

  601. They want to get happier what they think is happy, right?

  602. But he's letting us know. Listen, just get filled with the

  603. Holy Ghost and learn how to tap into it at all times and you'll

  604. always be stimulated. You'll always be filled.

  605. Man and Acts. 2:4 says this and they were all filled with the

    Acts 2:4

  606. Holy Spirit. Did they just get it halfway?

  607. No, they were filled, they were filled to the full and that's

  608. what it is. It's overflowing, and that

  609. overflow will begin to come out of your mouth and you'll begin

  610. to speak in tongues. Amen.

  611. That's the holy spirit being poured out on you.

  612. You have a menu, and then it comes and wants to watch.

  613. What flow up out of you because he is a God that wants to fill

  614. you up so that you can, what overflow overflow with his

  615. goodness and his fullness. Amen.

  616. With the spirit of God. Hallelujah, Acts 1:8 says this,

    Acts 1:8

  617. but you shall receive not only, does he want you to be full of

  618. the spirit when we get filled with the spirit, he wants you to

  619. have power. The reason why you steal, maybe

  620. some people keep going back to The alcohol or whatever it is is

  621. because baby. They're not filled with the Holy

  622. Ghost and so he lets us know. Listen he says the Holy Ghost is

  623. going to come upon you to receive what power you need.

  624. The Holy Ghost for power upon your life, to be able to

  625. overcome any type of stronghold or bondage or anything.

  626. That's tried to keep you pulling you away.

  627. Way and pulling you in the direction of the world and the

  628. things that God has actually said you're set free from amen.

  629. So get filled up with the Holy Ghost and began to activate it

  630. and receive power to overcome whatever it is addiction right?

  631. Pornography you know, whatever. Lost.

  632. Whatever it is. If you receive the power from

  633. the Holy Ghost, he didn't want to leave us here in this earth

  634. powerless. That's not a good God, but a

  635. good God wants to give you everything necessary for you to

  636. be able to walk in the fullness of everything that he says

  637. belongs to you. So that you can be so full of

  638. power. So full of whatever it is, in

  639. his promises that you're able to walk through life and not have

  640. to bow back down to the enemy. Amen.

  641. Ain't that what he wanted? Jesus did to do, he wanted Jesus

  642. to Bow back down to him the devil.

  643. But we're not going to Bow, say I'm not gonna bow, say I'm not

  644. going to bow. But I'm going to be full of it.

  645. Going to be full of it. So he said, he wanted you to

  646. receive power from the Holy Spirit, which will come upon you

  647. so that you can be a witness Co true.

  648. Proper witness should always be filled with the spirit period.

  649. If you're going to be a true representation of the kingdom of

  650. God, and of him being in your life that you need to to be a

  651. person. That is what filled with his

  652. spirit so that you can then become a great witness for him.

  653. Amen. Now we know this and Pastor

  654. ministered the last few Sundays on this, but I just want to read

  655. it real quick act 13:52. Because with the Holy Spirit

  656. comes power and joy. He wants us to be full of joy.

  657. We read that it says and the disciples were filled with joy

  658. and with the holy spirit. So any time that you've been

  659. filled with the Holy Spirit, Joy will be also an Evidence in your

  660. life. It will be an Evidence in your

  661. life that Joy, once you get filled.

  662. Amen. You're going to receive power.

  663. But another evidence will be Joy because we already said, the

  664. kingdom of God, Is Not What eating and Jeep, just drinking,

  665. but what righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, So he

  666. wants us to walk filled up with the Holy Ghost with power and

  667. with joy. The next point is he wants us to

  668. be filled with the fruits of righteousness.

  669. Fruits of righteousness. We are the righteousness of God

  670. in Christ. Won't we?

  671. Once we get born again, but now he wants to see the fruits or

  672. the evidence of it in our lives. So he wants those fruits to be

  673. full. Amen, to be full.

  674. He wants us to have a full basket, full of fruit.

  675. What's the fruits of righteousness fruit?

  676. Well, one we could talk about the fruits of the spirit.

  677. Amen. He wants love flowing in your

  678. life and he wants it full. He wants a full basket of Love

  679. flowing through you. He wants a full basket of Joy.

  680. He wants a full basket come on of self-control.

  681. How about that one self-control half the people wouldn't get in

  682. the mess. They get into if they would just

  683. tap into self control that's on the inside of them.

  684. Amen. Where she self-control my

  685. goodness. Hallelujah.

  686. My my my my my self-control you know there's many things I would

  687. like to say but I've learned how to have some real self control.

  688. Real self control when my husband and I first got married,

  689. you know, that's one thing. My mom, you know, I got popped

  690. in the mouth several times because I always wanted to talk

  691. back And I still didn't learn my lesson because then when I got

  692. married, I love to talk back. So the Holy Ghost had to teach

  693. me. How to keep my mouth shut.

  694. And I remember having a conversation with him at the

  695. kitchen sink with the Holy Ghost, At the kitchen sink years

  696. ago when we first got married. We were going on 30 or 31 years.

  697. So years ago, when we first got married, you know, my bowels

  698. just you know, said things that shouldn't have said because if

  699. you get me I'm going to get you back buddy, right?

  700. And so I was sitting there washing dishes as he came in

  701. from work or Ever, I don't know said something and I said Lord.

  702. You better help me if you want me to learn how to keep my mouth

  703. shut. I'm having this whole

  704. conversation with the Lord going on as I'm washing dishes and

  705. he's saying what he's saying and the kids are running crazy or

  706. whatever they were doing and I said, Lord, if you want me to

  707. keep my mouth, shut, you going to have to help me.

  708. You going to have to help me? You going to have to help me

  709. have some self-control. Some self-control.

  710. Because I know it's one of your fruits I'm having this whole

  711. conversation. So you're going to have to help

  712. me bite my tongue off. So, I literally stood there

  713. washing dishes like this. You better think I'm okay,

  714. right? And I remember going through

  715. that ritual several times, right?

  716. Until I learned, oh, okay. I just need to yield to, I can

  717. yield to the Holy Ghost on the inside for when I want to say

  718. something, I don't have to say something.

  719. Right. Because not everything I say

  720. will be profitable. And if I want a marriage to

  721. work, then I better learn how to submit my mouth.

  722. To the throne of God. Amen.

  723. Self-control is a good thing. It is save you from a lot of

  724. trouble. Hallelujah, just look and smile.

  725. That's all I've learned how to just smile.

  726. Y'all when y'all see me smiling like that, you know.

  727. So when you come talk to me and I'm just smiling like that, I'm

  728. not agreeing probably probably not agreeing anybody.

  729. Say, yes that's ever talk with me.

  730. You know, I ain't agree and I may be a smiling but I'm not

  731. agreeing, right? I'm just keeping my mouth shut

  732. so that wisdom can flow from my lips. so that wisdom can flow

  733. from my lips and not something else would not be good.

  734. So the next thing he wants you to be filled with is Hope.

  735. Amen. Hope.

  736. Well, I didn't really get into the fruits of righteousness but

  737. y'all can figure that out. I filled with hope filled with

  738. hope he already told us that. We were the hope of the world

  739. where the hope and he wants us to be.

  740. So filled of hope we should never be hopeless.

  741. We should be hopeless. We shouldn't even get ourselves

  742. in a situation where we feel like the situation is hopeless.

  743. Because if we just believe all things are possible, no matter

  744. what situation we ever get into, it doesn't have to be hopeless.

  745. Amen. Nothing ever has to take us off

  746. guard. I've said this before, we don't

  747. ever have to be in a place to where we say, what in the world

  748. are we going to do now? We don't have to live that way,

  749. the world lives that way, but we as believers do not and the only

  750. way we're ever going to be able to walk that out, is if we are

  751. staying full of the Holy Ghost, if we are staying full of God,

  752. full of his word, full of everything that he offers to us.

  753. Then we don't have to say what are we going to do now?

  754. Know, we'll do what we need to do now because the Holy Ghost

  755. has been speaking to us all along.

  756. Nothing has to take you off guard, you know.

  757. When pastors mom had a stroke, it didn't take me off guard.

  758. I mean I was like, okay, Lord we can do this.

  759. You do it. You knew it ahead of time.

  760. So guess what? If you do it ahead of time and

  761. you knew that this was going to involve Our Lives, then.

  762. Guess what? I can walk through it, I can

  763. walk through it, anointed to walk through it, I don't believe

  764. that. I don't have to be anointed to

  765. do anything. I do I believe I need the

  766. anointing every day in my life. The anointing is there.

  767. Every day in your life for you to walk it out in every

  768. Situation in your life, tap into the anointing, not just the

  769. anointing to get up here and Minister know I needed the

  770. annoyed anointing this morning because I had to get somebody up

  771. out of the bed that 77 get them dressed, sit them at the table.

  772. Walk them to the table with the Walker, feed them No, I'm

  773. anointed. And you know what, I told the

  774. devil I'm gonna get up there. I'm gonna do prayer and I'm

  775. gonna preach because it's not gonna stop me because I know

  776. there's Grace upon my life. Amen, so no matter what, come

  777. on, we can do all things through Christ, if we know where our

  778. help comes from, nothing has to take us off guard.

  779. And actually, the Holy Ghost, if you are in tune with him, we'll

  780. all Always give you a way of Escape.

  781. No, maybe we don't have to be hopeless.

  782. We have a way of Escape if, you know, what the scripture says,

  783. because you've been reading it now, you are hopeless.

  784. If you haven't been filling your tank up with the right thing, if

  785. you've been filling your tank up with Instagram and YouTube and

  786. Tick-Tock and, you know, Kardashians and ET and all the

  787. crap of this world. Then guess what?

  788. You will live a hopeless life because you'll be no better.

  789. But if you're feeling up, come on with the word of God, the

  790. word of God, that's alive. Didn't he say that we were to

  791. have life and life more abundantly?

  792. Well, how are we going to live a lively life?

  793. We've got to stay in the word of God, which is alive that brings

  794. life. Hallelujah.

  795. And the Bible says that he'll Quicken even our mortal body.

  796. So when you feel Tire tap into the Holy Ghost and get a

  797. quickening. I like what old brother one of

  798. the old-timers? I don't know if it was norvel

  799. Hayes or one of the other ones. Probably not him and old

  800. Minister. He said every morning he'd jump

  801. up out of the bed. Yes Smith Wigglesworth.

  802. That's who it was. He jump up out of the bed and do

  803. a dance buys bed. Come on every day because why

  804. he's going to tap into? Do you think he felt like

  805. jumping up out of the bed every day and dancing around?

  806. No, he chose to make a decision that I'm going to get up every

  807. day. Come on because this is the day

  808. that the Lord has made. I'm gonna Rejoice, I'm gonna be

  809. glad and I'm going to get up and do what the Lord has called me

  810. to do every day. Hallelujah, because he learned

  811. how to tap into a fool. The fullness of God.

  812. Hallelujah. So full of Hope full of joy full

  813. of Peace. We should not be worried

  814. wringing. Our hands wondering what's going

  815. to happen with gas prices. What's going to happen with food

  816. shortages? We should be worried about.

  817. At all at all. Listen I remember some of y'all

  818. may know but there's a lot of new people.

  819. How many of you have really fairly new?

  820. You have look at this all these new people, I remember when

  821. pastor and I were going to Bible school out in Oklahoma at Rhema

  822. and I mean, we didn't have anything and I was cleaning

  823. doing jobs. He was working at night.

  824. Well, yeah, working that night. And then getting up first, they

  825. actually didn't get to go to sleep.

  826. He come straight home and go to Rama.

  827. But anyway, we didn't have a whole lot.

  828. And somebody paid for our school tuition.

  829. That's the only way we were able to go.

  830. And I remember one weekend, my mom decided she was going to

  831. come visit and so she got there, you know, and unloaded, whatever

  832. it was a Friday night or whatever it was going to be.

  833. She was going to be there over the weekend and stay the week.

  834. And so she opened up the frigerator and looked in the

  835. frigerator. And said, well what were y'all

  836. going to eat tonight? I said the Lord will provide.

  837. What are you going to eat tonight?

  838. I said the Lord will provide Amen.

  839. So you know how he provided. Mama went to Costco.

  840. I didn't bag and say, I don't know Mom.

  841. I mean, I don't know how we gonna make it.

  842. I don't know what we're going to eat, but the Lord will provide

  843. and he's going to provide evidently through you because

  844. you're offering to go. I didn't ask you to go.

  845. I didn't beg you to go. Come on, I didn't manipulate you

  846. to go. But you had the resources and

  847. offered to go. She said, well, I guess if I

  848. want to eat, we gonna go unless we want a fast.

  849. That's okay. I can do that too, right?

  850. No listen. He supplies everything in our

  851. life, everything there's times. You don't have anything, but

  852. he's all. He's and I have never had to beg

  853. for food ever. Had to beg for bread.

  854. I remember that same season in our life that I went to the

  855. cabinet and I had to come up. I said, all right.

  856. Lord, you're going to have to give me a creative recipe

  857. because all I see in here is a little package of hamburger meat

  858. was like that one little pound. I had one box a Jiffy corn mix

  859. y'all know what that is that then the day it was only like 30

  860. cents a box, you know. And I had one can of corn.

  861. And some taco seasoning. so I said, all right, well we going

  862. to have what we call it Sean remembers Taco surprise I didn't

  863. know what I was doing. You know.

  864. But that was that was our last supper, you know?

  865. And so I, you know, whipped up Taco surprise, I, you know,

  866. bait. Now they have cool Taco bakes.

  867. I mean that this was before the time of taco bake, guys.

  868. I didn't know what it was. And anyway, he always always

  869. took care of us, he always supplies all and everything we

  870. have. I've never felt hopeless though.

  871. Because I knew God was going to provide.

  872. I knew he was going to take care of us because we were doing what

  873. he wanted us to do. Amen.

  874. Hallelujah. I never had to go to get food

  875. stamps. I mean, I'm thinking to myself.

  876. How stupid are you? You could have.

  877. But I never did. And God always took care of us.

  878. Always, we never missed a meal always because he was so

  879. faithful and so good because We were living in the fullness of

  880. who he is. We were never hopeless.

  881. So Romans 15:13 says now may the god of Hope.

    Romans 15:13

  882. Fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect.

  883. Peace. As you trust in him and may the

  884. power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life

  885. with his super abundance until you radiate with hope.

  886. Hallelujah. Never do things have to look

  887. hopeless in your life if you are staying in a position of being

  888. filled up with the spirit of the Living God, Amen.

  889. He's alive. He's real.

  890. And he wants to feel you to the fullness of who he is, in

  891. everything in your life, whatever's lacking.
