Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
-
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now enjoy this message, we're full of it.
-
So pastors been talking about being full of joy.
-
Amen. But I want to go in a vein this
-
morning. And just continue with keeping
-
that title full of it. You've been taught the last few
-
weeks that we are to be full of what joy and the joy of the Lord
-
is our strength. So we shouldn't be sad.
-
No, we should be happy. Amen.
-
We should be full of joy and joy.
-
Don't just come from this world or anything.
-
This world can give us. True Joy comes from within amen.
-
From the hole, Holy ghost from the Lord.
-
Amen. Well, being full of God is what
-
I want to talk about this morning.
-
Being full of God. Hallelujah.
-
And I want to start out of Ephesians chapter 3 and verse
Ephesians 3 chapter mention
-
19, Ephesians 3. These are great prayers to pray
-
over your life. We have prayed these prayers out
-
of Ephesians over the church since we have started this
-
church going on 18 years now where is my?
-
I just had it this morning. If you do not have one of these,
-
they are out in guest relations. Since I encourage you to get
-
this out and pray these prayers over your life.
-
These our prayers, that Paul prayed for the churches, are you
-
part of his church? Amen.
-
So when you read these scriptures, I like what brother
-
Hagin used to say years ago, you just insert your name in there.
-
Well, we've inserted anchor Faith Church's name in there.
-
Amen. And we pray these over the
-
church. We pray these For our lives.
-
Amen. And believe that.
-
What the scripture says we can have?
-
Well, anyway, actually this week when we brought his her his
-
mother home. I found you know, because she 77
-
and so I found some old brother Hagin, I don't even know if they
-
were tapes or CDs or what they were because it was up on
-
YouTube. And I found some of old brother
-
Hagins old YouTube. You know, things for her to just
-
sit and listen and watch. And I figured she might like
-
looking at him because he was older, you know?
-
And, and so just listening to him.
-
Well, he got to start reading out of a fijians.
-
And I said, well, praise God. That's where I'm going.
-
This morning. This was on Tuesday.
-
So Ephesians chapter 3 and verse has 19 says this and to know,
Ephesians 3 chapter mention
-
Know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that you may
-
be what filled up to all the fullness of God.
-
So I ask you this morning. Are you filled up?
-
Are you full of it? Are you so filled up with God
-
and are you so full of God that no matter what?
-
Come on, where are you going? What's going on, what the
-
situation of the Day brings that God just oozes out of you
-
because you so filled up. You're so full of God.
-
He expects you as a Believer to be full, not to be dry, come on.
-
But to be full, and we talked about that a little bit in our
-
prayer earlier this morning at corporate prayer, is that, you
-
know, we've got to State act into the filling station, right?
-
We've got to keep our nozzle in the tank.
-
That's the only way we're going to stay.
-
Filled up and full is if we're keeping our nozzle in the tank,
-
where it's flowing, where it's flowing, amen.
-
Where it's flowing because it's not flowing from this world guys
-
at all. Nothing this world can give you
-
nothing of this world can give you anything of any good.
-
You should be so filled up with the word of God.
-
So, filled up with the life of God.
-
So, filled up with everything that he says about you.
-
That when the day comes, you know, who is in you and no
-
matter what comes your way you can overcome it, amen, filled
-
up, you know what He said and the passion translation when you
-
read that scripture, he says filled up to overflowing with
-
the fullness of God. Overflowing is your life
-
overflowing? Come on with the goodness of
-
God, is your life overflowing with the things of God, that
-
when you are walking through your day, when you're going
-
about it, your job when you're going to the Walmart or wherever
-
you go, whatever it is. Are you so enthusiastic And full
-
of God that when people see you, they're like wow what in the
-
world or when they hear you, right, they recognized.
-
They're recognizing that you are full of God, full of the life of
-
God. Amen, Hallelujah.
-
Now, let me read that out of Ephesians and I want to go back
-
up to verse 14. And I want to read it all the
-
way down to 21, listen to what this scripture says.
-
For this reason, this is that prayer.
-
I was telling you about that, Paul prayed for the churches and
-
that we can pray for this. reason I bow my knees before,
-
the father from whom every family in Earth, Heaven from
-
every family in heaven and on Earth derives its name that he
-
would Grant you grant you according to the riches of his
-
glory, right to be strengthened, say strengthened with power,
-
through his spirit and that you be rooted and grounded in love
-
would be able to Comprehend. With all the saints, what is the
-
breadth? The length, the height, the
-
depth and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses
-
knowledge that you would be filled up to all the fullness of
-
God. Now to him, who is able to do
-
far more abundantly beyond all that we could ask or think
-
according to the, what the power that works in God, the power
-
that works in God. Where is it working that power
-
in US? Is his power working in you.
-
Are you letting it work? Come on, it's not working in
-
God. It's working in us who believe
-
it's working in us, if we allow it to work to him, be the glory
-
in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever
-
and ever, amen. Now I want to read verse 19 out
-
of the Amplified. Somebody got upset, I heard a
-
couple weeks ago because the passion translations, not a real
-
we don't just read out of the Translation.
-
We get the scripture from the King James and then we read what
-
it's saying and all the other things that we read are just
-
little you know, supplements to help us understand it in today's
-
vernacular. Goodness.
-
I thought we were over not being able to read out anything but
-
the King James in that something the world, you know, act like
-
they're so, you know what, you know, and that they still
-
religious. People just want to keep camping
-
on old school. They don't want anything old
-
school but the religious people want old school.
-
Come on, nobody's trying to do away with what it means.
-
We're just trying to add other words to help you understand it
-
and comprehend it more, amen, hallelujah.
-
So the Amplified classic says this that you may really come to
-
know particularly Through experience for yourself.
-
The love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge,
-
without experience that you may be filled through.
-
All your being filled through all of your being through filled
-
through all of your being remember, first Thessalonians,
-
what 523? He expects a spirit soul and
-
body. Be blameless until the returning
-
of Christ. So here, when he says, he
-
expects us to be filled with our what and through our entire
-
being everything, our mind needs to be filled with the word of
-
God. Our Spirits are full of God,
-
because we're recreated in the likeness of Christ.
-
Amen. And then our body, we need to be
-
so full. Of God in our lives.
-
Amen. In every area.
-
And so he goes on to say until all the fullness of God, may
-
have the richest measure of his divine presence and become a
-
body. Holy flood field and flooded
-
with God himself, Field and flooded with God himself, we are
-
not living in a day that we need to be running with our tanks
-
half. Full or half empty, however, you
-
want to see it and say it. Right.
-
We're not supposed to be running on empty at all as Believers.
-
We need to be filled up at all times and we have that access to
-
be filled with the fullness of God at all times.
-
So that nothing takes us off of guard or by surprise, right?
-
Hallelujah, glory to God. Are y'all getting this Ephesians
-
123 says this? Which is his body, the fullness
-
of him who fills all in, all he expected us to live a full life
-
and recognizing that the body is the fullness of him.
-
Amen. And he feels that all in all
-
everything, everything there is nothing, lacking or missing.
-
With him but only fullness fullness in him.
-
Hallelujah, let me read that out of the Amplified, which is his
-
body, the fullness of him who fills all in all four in that
-
body lives the full measure of him.
-
So, in his body, how many of you are born again and in the body
-
of Christ, he expects it to even be the full measure of him.
-
The full measure of him. All of us coming full.
-
Not it D, but coming full. How would that look, if every
-
believer that came into the church, this is why we pastor
-
says that would be in great expectation.
-
Great, you know, filled up and ready to receive the word of God
-
because you didn't have to barely get here because you had
-
a long week and you were so tired and worn out and could
-
barely make it to church. But you actually are a person
-
that believes the scripture that he said that I can stay full.
-
I can stay full of God and I can walk in this fullness at all
-
times. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. You can walk in this fullness at
-
all times glory to God. Now look at Colossians to see
-
all through the book of Jen's Colossians Philippians, you
-
know, off Thessalonians. All through these books, which
-
were written Corinthians to the churches.
-
He lets us know what we should be as a Believer what we should
-
look at look like as a Believer. How many of you see Believers
-
that are? Well, I don't know, I don't
-
know. You know.
-
No. Beatdown.
-
Not full of life. Sad is the world.
-
Right. Just pressed as the world.
-
I mean, come on. Now, when the Believers of the
-
Church of the Living, God are walking in as much depression as
-
is in the world. Something ain't right?
-
Something is missing. Amen.
-
What is that? They're not walking and tapping
-
into the fullness of God. Amen, when 50 percent of
-
marriages in the church, our people are getting divorced.
-
We expected in the world. But come on in the church.
-
Something's missing. You're not full of it.
-
You're not full of it. You're full of other things.
-
Now, let's just be honest. We're full of other things were
-
full of our work. Full of all the distractions.
-
Full, come on. We're full of all these other
-
things that are pulling us away from the fullness of God,
-
flowing and operating in our lives.
-
Amen. But he wants us to live full.
-
So Colossians 2:9 says this for n him, say in him in him, all
-
the fullness of deity, dwells in bodily form in him all deity.
-
Dwells. And if the Bible says, we are in
-
Christ. And guess what?
-
All of God can dwell in US. Who he is his nature.
-
The fullness of him can't dwell in us every day.
-
We don't have to be dry. We don't have to be empty.
-
Come on, we can keep the flow going.
-
Hallelujah. Now, let me read that out of the
-
passion translation and I want to read verses 10 as well.
-
So Colossians 2:9 through 10. The passion translation says
-
this for, he is the complete fullness of deity, living in
-
human form and our own completeness here, it is, is
-
found now in him Our own completeness is found.
-
Now in him, when you get born again, you get in Christ.
-
And guess what? That means.
-
You become complete. You don't need a man to complete
-
you. Come on.
-
You don't need a job to complete you.
-
You don't need all these things that the world says you have to
-
have to complete you. You can be complete in Christ.
-
Amen. And That's what we need.
-
People that know that they are complete in Christ.
-
Hallelujah your complete in him. Doesn't matter what anybody says
-
about you. Your complete in him, your
-
complete in him if you believe it amen and walk in it.
-
And then it goes on to say we are completely filled with God
-
as Christ, fullness overflows within us.
-
He is the head of every Kingdom and Authority in the universe.
-
Glory to God. Reminding us that he is a king
-
and he is the king of And so if he's the king, and he is full of
-
himself and deity, then guess what?
-
If he says, we are Kings than we need to be full in Christ.
-
Amen. And walk in our King shit.
-
We will never see the kingdom rise in our life.
-
We will never see us rising up and taking our position as kings
-
in the earth. If we do not recognize that we
-
are complete in him and it is healed.
-
That feels all And all and me everything, everything I need is
-
found in him. Amen.
-
Found in him in that what he says completely filled with God
-
and then it overflows. So it's not just for you.
-
Your life should be a Living Sacrifice that's flowing flowing
-
out of you. Reaching people all around you
-
so that when people see you, they see the life of God.
-
Amen. That's what I really wanted to
-
administer on today. I was, you know, being a Living
-
Sacrifice and a living epistle. See he doesn't say we're dead.
-
He says we're to be living. So are you acting dead?
-
And if you're acting dead that, it's a result of you not being
-
full in Christ. Amen.
-
But the Lord said this. So we're going with this, amen,
-
because it doesn't matter what I want.
-
It's what he wants for you, amen.
-
It's what he wants for you. So I have several several
-
scriptures that talks about things that we should be full of
-
say I'm full of it. Say I'm full of it.
-
Say I'm full of it. Say it like you mean it one more
-
time, one more time. All right.
-
I might Leave it. John 10:10 says this.
-
Now, let's look at it. It says, I've got 10 points.
-
Let's see if we get through it. If y'all listen real good, we
-
might John 10:10. He says this, and I'm going to
-
read it out of the Amplified first and then the passion it
-
says, the thief comes only in order to steal kill and destroy.
-
Who's the thief who is it? Don't be afraid to say his name.
-
Say it again. The devil.
-
Where is he? Under our feet, I'm not afraid
-
of the devil. Amen.
-
He's under our feet. Don't be afraid to say it.
-
Timid to be saying his word. In the church, you ought to know
-
there's a devil on the loose, and he's out to kill steal, and
-
destroy your life and your children's life.
-
And any seed after that your children's Children's life amen.
-
That's what he's after. He's real and we have a good God
-
and there's a real devil. Amen.
-
And he's only out to kill your life and destroy it.
-
Amen. So 10:10 says the thief only
-
comes in order to steal kill and destroy but I came that you
-
would have what have life and enjoy.
-
This Amplified classic says, are you enjoying life?
-
I'm not talking about because everything's joyful.
-
I mean, I'm in a situation right now that I'm looking at a person
-
thinking, this is not a joyful situation.
-
Right. Not everything's joyful.
-
Until she says, look I got, I got two tattoos today.
-
It's where she got her IVs in and she thought she went and got
-
tattoos at 77. And if you knew his mother, you
-
would know that is far from anything she would ever do.
-
So not every I mean I can't lie laughed because I mean laughter
-
does good like a medicine and I'm just going to laugh at that.
-
I mean anything I can laugh at I'm going to laugh at.
-
So when you tell me you just got two tattoos and I won't tell you
-
the other thing she said but anyway I'm thinking, I don't
-
know if I want the church ladies to come sit with her.
-
I don't know what she might say. Who anyway, Hallelujah, glory to
-
God, she has the mind of Christ. She's gonna be in her right
-
mind. Amen, hallelujah.
-
So anyway, not everything is joyful, but when Christ is in
-
you and you're full of him, come on.
-
Then you can walk it out, enjoy. You can walk out in any
-
situation, full of God and anointed in the situation.
-
See, I'm not gonna get burned. And wore out having to be a
-
caregiver because I know where my help comes from.
-
I know where my strength comes from.
-
I've tapped into it. See, I don't do anything in My
-
Own Strength, amen? When you know, you're full of
-
it, you don't have to Glory to God.
-
So he says, but I've come to give you a joke.
-
Sorry, I'm reading the wrong scripture, I have enjoyed, I
-
might, you know, I got a lot going on in this mind.
-
So I have the mind of Christ. Hallelujah, and have it in
-
abundance to the what this is the Amplified to the full, until
-
it, what overflows to the full until it overflows.
-
That's what kind of life he wants.
-
You to have life. So the first thing he wants you
-
to have is life. He wants you to have a life and
-
enjoy life and be full in this life.
-
Amen. Enjoying this life.
-
And letting this life overflow with the fullness of God, and
-
the goodness of God. Amen.
-
His goodness is running after me.
-
That's what I say. It's running after me.
-
Hallelujah. So full of life is number one.
-
He wants us to be full of life. Now let did I read that of the
-
Amplified? Okay, let me read it out of the
-
passion. A thief has only one thing in
-
mind. He wants to still Slaughter.
-
I like this and Destroy, but I have come to give you everything
-
in abundance more than you can expect a life in its fullness
-
and Kill you over flow. Hallelujah.
-
That's what kind of life. He comes to bring a full life.
-
So we have to ask ourselves. Are we living the full life?
-
Are we living in fullness? Are we living?
-
So full and so excited about the day that he has made every day?
-
And this is the day that he is made and we gonna what rejoice
-
and be glad in it that I get to get up today.
-
Day, come on and walk and work his principles in the earth in
-
every situation and scenario in our life.
-
Because I'm full of it. Say, I'm full of it.
-
Hallelujah, full of life. Now, let me read what fullness
-
means in the Greek. All right, I want you guys to
-
see this fullness in. The Greek means this to furnish
-
A full measure, a liberal Supply filled to the brim, filled up to
-
a bound to render full and complete to execute and to
-
accomplish any undertaking to bring it to pass.
-
Hallelujah. To bring it to pass.
-
So when you, when he's saying, you are living in the fullness
-
of God and you are living filled up.
-
Listen, there is nothing that cannot be executed in your life
-
that you can't. Come on.
-
Walk in it. Amen.
-
And over come and be so abounding in every situation, I
-
love what Paul says, I've learned how to what abound in in
-
all things in the little And then much.
-
I've learned I've learned how to be content in every situation in
-
life because I know where my help comes from.
-
I know my source, I know where my filling station is, I know
-
how to get filled up and walk in fullness and keep my tank full
-
so that it never has to run dry. Do you think that God would run
-
out of oil? You know, there is Pastor meth
-
meant minister to message years ago, years ago now, I don't know
-
how many years ago it was called, just had it in my head.
-
All crisis, we're in an oil crisis, spiritually, he was
-
talking about and oil crisis, you know, there is not an oil
-
crisis in this earth. just, you know, and there's not an oil
-
crisis in the kingdom of God. God has put every resource in
-
this earth since the day of Genesis 1:26 and 28 and he said
-
let man everything that he would need to sustain Mankind in the
-
earth will be in the earth until he returns.
-
Everything. So don't listen to the lies of
-
gas, shortages and oil shortages.
-
Now, you can listen to the world's lies, but I choose to
-
listen to the whom I believe. Because I know that our God, put
-
everything in the earth, that man would ever need to be able
-
to do everything God needed to do in the Earth for his people
-
until he returns everything. Everything, everything,
-
Hallelujah, glory to God. I don't know how I got over on
-
that. But anyway, oh boy.
-
Oh yes, oil is a representation and type and Shadow of the We
-
ghost of the Holy Ghost in the Bible.
-
So all we have to do is what keep ourselves field and it will
-
never run dry. There is no oil crisis.
-
In the kingdom of God, there's plenty of oil for everybody to
-
run on full at all times anywhere all over the world.
-
You just have to stay tapped into it tapped into it, amen.
-
To be able to learn how to pump it out.
-
We talked about this in prayer that you can have the, the
-
nozzle in the gas, you can pull up to the gas station, you can
-
have the nozzle in, but guess whose responsibility it is still
-
if you're going to receive that flow of gas into your tank.
-
You're going to have to what Pump It.
-
You're going to have to pump it. You're going to have to pop it,
-
the gas is there, and the nozzles even in that's us the
-
type and Shadow of us. We if you're born again, the
-
Holy Ghost is on the inside of you.
-
Now, there is the being filled with the Holy Spirit the coming
-
upon you with evidence of speaking in tongues and watch
-
that is all flowing in your life.
-
You can have a constant flow if you keep the pump.
-
Running. A constant flow of constant
-
flow. Hallelujah.
-
You are the only one that can keep that flow going.
-
I know people that take it out. You know, take out the nozzle
-
they don't want the flow running anymore.
-
You know, they've maybe once experienced it but then they
-
they don't want it anymore for their life and they just take
-
the nozzle out and then they live defeated and everything
-
else. When it's right there right
-
there for you to tap into, amen? Right there for you to tap into
-
so that you don't have to live a life.
-
That is not full because he wants to have a full measure in
-
your life liberally Supply. Something in your life, Phil you
-
to the brim, amen. He wants to you to abound in
-
everything to be full to be able to accomplish any undertaking to
-
bring it to pass. Amen.
-
He wants you to walk in fullness and abundance in him.
-
Hallelujah, the next thing is, is that as we see what fullest
-
fullness means the next. Number two thing is, let's look
-
here in John, 16, he wants you to be full.
-
Love Grace. See, it wasn't just about being
-
full of it with joy. There's many things.
-
He wants you to be full of full of life, and now let's look at
-
another thing. He says, full of grace, full of
-
grace, Hallelujah. So, John 1:16 says it this way
-
and from the Overflow of his fullness, we have received Grace
-
heaped, upon, Grace, Grace heaped upon Grace.
-
More grace is what one translation says, amen.
-
There is a overflow of his fullness of Grace in your life
-
heaped, upon, Grace. I mean, so this grace in your
-
life is unending and if you understand that it's not just
-
saving grace that he wants you to think about know, Grace was
-
more than just saving you so that when you die you.
-
To go to heaven Grace, was there?
-
Now, to empower you to walk in everything that God says?
-
You can walk in that Grace, now is empowering Grace,
-
strengthening Grace anything that you need.
-
Come on Grace, Grace heaped, upon Grace, being able to tap
-
it, man. You may need some Grace and
-
raised in your teenagers right now will tap into it.
-
It and he'll give you a heap and full of it, amen?
-
Just whatever. It's there for you and all you
-
have to do is learn how to tap into it.
-
Praise the Lord. Let me read that one out of the
-
Amplified that was the passion translation that I actually read
-
it out of. So the Amplified says that this
-
for out of his fullness, His abundant see, there it is.
-
So the Amplified actually just Cliff eyes, the word and put in
-
what the Greek words. Original intense were.
-
So they're not adding to or taken away from the King James,
-
they're just putting in what the Greek says that word, you know,
-
and amplifying it so that you can understand it more.
-
So, for out of his fullness, his abundance, we have all received,
-
all had to share and we were all supplied.
-
There's that word supplied? Which what?
-
Fullness It means with one Grace after another spiritual
-
blessing, upon spiritual blessing, and even favor, upon
-
favor, and gift heaped upon gift.
-
That's why we say his favor is and his goodness is running us
-
down. Hallelujah.
-
When you're tacked into it, it can be heaped upon you because
-
he wants you to walk in that fullness, maybe your marriage is
-
a mess, right? Now, listen, tap into the grace,
-
tap into that Grace, to be able to get you through this
-
situation, to be able to overcome.
-
Whatever it is. That may be hindering, you and
-
your marriage tap into it, tap into the grace that Supply,
-
that's there to strengthen you and give you what you need to be
-
able to walk it out. Forgiveness, come on.
-
Whatever it is. Forgiveness.
-
Love again for somebody that you think you could never love
-
again. Tap into it, right?
-
You can tap into it because the love of God.
-
What Romans 5:5 has been shed abroad in our hearts?
-
Hallelujah. And we can walk full in the
-
fullness of his love to bring restoration into a situation.
-
But all we have to do is say everyday father.
-
I thank you that you give me Grace I tap into this grace,
-
show me what I need to do, tell me what I need to say, cuz what
-
I want to say it, I'm going to be too nice, but what you might
-
say, is going to be good, right? See he loves you like that every
-
day. He wants to just be right there
-
in the midst of everything that you're doing.
-
Amen, to be able to bring Grace in that situation in your
-
marriage, or in your life, or with your children, or wherever
-
it is in your Place everyday Grace for you.
-
Amen. Is there if you'll just tap into
-
it. Amen.
-
Glory to God. The next point, is Glory, Glory
-
Full Of His Glory. Hallelujah, Colossians 1:27 says
-
this to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of his
-
glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ.
-
It in you the hope of glory, say Christ in me, the hope of glory
-
that's what the world needs to be seeing in you.
-
Amen. Which is the hope of glory.
-
Yeah, the hope of glory. Do you know what Glory means the
-
full measure, the full weight of who he is.
-
That's what Glory means. When he said the the temple was
-
what field was it hassle? No he said the temple was what
-
filled with his. Oh and Isaiah actually says
-
maybe or Psalms and the whole earth is going to be what
-
Lacking in his glory half full of his glory, no always full of
-
his glory filled with his glory because he is a God that wants
-
to feel you up to full measure of his glory and the world ought
-
to look at you as a Believer and say, there's got to be hope
-
because look at the glory of God upon their life, there's got to
-
be home. Hope if we are just as hopeless
-
as the world's, that's a shame that we don't know better than
-
that. If we're defeated just as the
-
world, then we're shame. Come on.
-
Because I'm going to tell you what, the greater ones living on
-
the inside of you greater is he that's in you than he that's in
-
the world. So, how could we be acting just
-
like the world? Amen.
-
No, we have a greater God. Amen.
-
We have a, god of fullness, we have a god of abundance.
-
He, we have a God that wants us to live such a full life that
-
people look, and just are in awe at your life.
-
Not that everything's wonderful and perfect.
-
But they can see the hand of God working through you.
-
Hallelujah. See we think it's got to be like
-
this bed of roses. Well, I'm going to tell you.
-
My life has never been a better roses.
-
Everybody just thinks you know. Well once you get born again,
-
it's just going to be a better of it.
-
Ashley, everything's actually been difficult in my life.
-
Difficult. Very difficult, he didn't give
-
me an easy Journey. No, he gave me a journey in him
-
that I could walk in fullness, completeness, come on and and,
-
and be able to thrive in everything that I'm doing.
-
Amen, full of Glory. That's what he wants you to be.
-
So that people see, there's got to be hope for this world.
-
Amen. The next thing is full of Hey,
-
are you full of Faith? You know, it's sad when I read
-
the Scripture, it just always Grieves me when he says, when I
-
return. Will I, what y'all hear me?
-
Talk about it all the time? Well, I find what, when he
-
returns will? I even find faith in the Earth?
-
Will I find Faith? What do you mean?
-
Will you find faith? Wow, that just boggles my mind
-
to think. They are.
-
And, and now that I'm seeing so many people that used to say
-
they had faith and now they have none.
-
And they're not even living for the Lord.
-
Right. They're not even being full of
-
him anymore. Now let me read this and Hebrews
-
10:22. It says this.
-
Let us draw near with a True Heart in full Assurance of
-
faith. Full Assurance of Faith.
-
He wants us to have full Assurance of faith in our lives.
-
Hallelujah, a faith in our lives that it is so full.
-
That we are so assured in everything that we are doing
-
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.
-
Wow. No longer do we have to live in
-
guilt and condemnation and shame.
-
And if you are, then you're still living up underneath
-
bondage from the enemy. Guilt condemnation and shame
-
comes from the enemy unless you're still participating in
-
sin. Because once sin is cut from
-
your life, there would be no more consciousness of guilt and
-
shame because the blood has covered it.
-
Amen. Hallelujah, the blood covers it
-
all. Now, if you're still tapping
-
into it, then that's why you still feel that, right?
-
Even though you may be born again, you got to sever it all.
-
Where is the Consciousness actually has to do with the mind
-
to write? So you got to get this mind
-
renewed, remind renew to what the blood says you are.
-
Your mind renewed to what the blood says you are.
-
Hallelujah. So full of faith.
-
Now the next point is to be full of the spirit full of the spirit
-
of God. And this is where your key text
-
is that, if we're going to walk in the fullness of everything
-
that God says that we can walk into them.
-
We must be full of the spirit of God.
-
Look, what Ephesians 5:18 says, do not get drunk with wine.
-
Why people? Take that out of context, I
-
still don't understand because I ain't seen nothing good comes
-
from alcohol. The TV shows, don't prove what
-
you see with these homeless, people living on the streets.
-
So still believe what the word says.
-
Overall, the hip pastors that let you drink.
-
Okay, we're not hip and I don't care.
-
I got hips butt. Amen.
-
Read it in the Greek. It literally says it in the
-
Greek. Look it up buttercup.
-
That's what I say. Hallelujah, I'm full of, it's a
-
full of it glory to God. Hallelujah.
-
Ephesians 5:18 it says and do not get drunk with wine for this
-
for that is debauchery but ever be what field and stimulated
-
With the Holy Spirit when you know, how to tap into the Holy
-
Spirit, you don't want that old nasty drink and stuff and
-
everybody knows it was nasty when you first tasted it till
-
you got used to, you had to once you got it past the gag reflex,
-
right? Taste it now that.
-
So he lets us know listen don't be drunk with all of that but be
-
filled and stimulated. See most people want to get
-
drunk because they want to get stimulated.
-
They want to get happier what they think is happy, right?
-
But he's letting us know. Listen, just get filled with the
-
Holy Ghost and learn how to tap into it at all times and you'll
-
always be stimulated. You'll always be filled.
-
Man and Acts. 2:4 says this and they were all filled with the
-
Holy Spirit. Did they just get it halfway?
-
No, they were filled, they were filled to the full and that's
-
what it is. It's overflowing, and that
-
overflow will begin to come out of your mouth and you'll begin
-
to speak in tongues. Amen.
-
That's the holy spirit being poured out on you.
-
You have a menu, and then it comes and wants to watch.
-
What flow up out of you because he is a God that wants to fill
-
you up so that you can, what overflow overflow with his
-
goodness and his fullness. Amen.
-
With the spirit of God. Hallelujah, Acts 1:8 says this,
-
but you shall receive not only, does he want you to be full of
-
the spirit when we get filled with the spirit, he wants you to
-
have power. The reason why you steal, maybe
-
some people keep going back to The alcohol or whatever it is is
-
because baby. They're not filled with the Holy
-
Ghost and so he lets us know. Listen he says the Holy Ghost is
-
going to come upon you to receive what power you need.
-
The Holy Ghost for power upon your life, to be able to
-
overcome any type of stronghold or bondage or anything.
-
That's tried to keep you pulling you away.
-
Way and pulling you in the direction of the world and the
-
things that God has actually said you're set free from amen.
-
So get filled up with the Holy Ghost and began to activate it
-
and receive power to overcome whatever it is addiction right?
-
Pornography you know, whatever. Lost.
-
Whatever it is. If you receive the power from
-
the Holy Ghost, he didn't want to leave us here in this earth
-
powerless. That's not a good God, but a
-
good God wants to give you everything necessary for you to
-
be able to walk in the fullness of everything that he says
-
belongs to you. So that you can be so full of
-
power. So full of whatever it is, in
-
his promises that you're able to walk through life and not have
-
to bow back down to the enemy. Amen.
-
Ain't that what he wanted? Jesus did to do, he wanted Jesus
-
to Bow back down to him the devil.
-
But we're not going to Bow, say I'm not gonna bow, say I'm not
-
going to bow. But I'm going to be full of it.
-
Going to be full of it. So he said, he wanted you to
-
receive power from the Holy Spirit, which will come upon you
-
so that you can be a witness Co true.
-
Proper witness should always be filled with the spirit period.
-
If you're going to be a true representation of the kingdom of
-
God, and of him being in your life that you need to to be a
-
person. That is what filled with his
-
spirit so that you can then become a great witness for him.
-
Amen. Now we know this and Pastor
-
ministered the last few Sundays on this, but I just want to read
-
it real quick act 13:52. Because with the Holy Spirit
-
comes power and joy. He wants us to be full of joy.
-
We read that it says and the disciples were filled with joy
-
and with the holy spirit. So any time that you've been
-
filled with the Holy Spirit, Joy will be also an Evidence in your
-
life. It will be an Evidence in your
-
life that Joy, once you get filled.
-
Amen. You're going to receive power.
-
But another evidence will be Joy because we already said, the
-
kingdom of God, Is Not What eating and Jeep, just drinking,
-
but what righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, So he
-
wants us to walk filled up with the Holy Ghost with power and
-
with joy. The next point is he wants us to
-
be filled with the fruits of righteousness.
-
Fruits of righteousness. We are the righteousness of God
-
in Christ. Won't we?
-
Once we get born again, but now he wants to see the fruits or
-
the evidence of it in our lives. So he wants those fruits to be
-
full. Amen, to be full.
-
He wants us to have a full basket, full of fruit.
-
What's the fruits of righteousness fruit?
-
Well, one we could talk about the fruits of the spirit.
-
Amen. He wants love flowing in your
-
life and he wants it full. He wants a full basket of Love
-
flowing through you. He wants a full basket of Joy.
-
He wants a full basket come on of self-control.
-
How about that one self-control half the people wouldn't get in
-
the mess. They get into if they would just
-
tap into self control that's on the inside of them.
-
Amen. Where she self-control my
-
goodness. Hallelujah.
-
My my my my my self-control you know there's many things I would
-
like to say but I've learned how to have some real self control.
-
Real self control when my husband and I first got married,
-
you know, that's one thing. My mom, you know, I got popped
-
in the mouth several times because I always wanted to talk
-
back And I still didn't learn my lesson because then when I got
-
married, I love to talk back. So the Holy Ghost had to teach
-
me. How to keep my mouth shut.
-
And I remember having a conversation with him at the
-
kitchen sink with the Holy Ghost, At the kitchen sink years
-
ago when we first got married. We were going on 30 or 31 years.
-
So years ago, when we first got married, you know, my bowels
-
just you know, said things that shouldn't have said because if
-
you get me I'm going to get you back buddy, right?
-
And so I was sitting there washing dishes as he came in
-
from work or Ever, I don't know said something and I said Lord.
-
You better help me if you want me to learn how to keep my mouth
-
shut. I'm having this whole
-
conversation with the Lord going on as I'm washing dishes and
-
he's saying what he's saying and the kids are running crazy or
-
whatever they were doing and I said, Lord, if you want me to
-
keep my mouth, shut, you going to have to help me.
-
You going to have to help me? You going to have to help me
-
have some self-control. Some self-control.
-
Because I know it's one of your fruits I'm having this whole
-
conversation. So you're going to have to help
-
me bite my tongue off. So, I literally stood there
-
washing dishes like this. You better think I'm okay,
-
right? And I remember going through
-
that ritual several times, right?
-
Until I learned, oh, okay. I just need to yield to, I can
-
yield to the Holy Ghost on the inside for when I want to say
-
something, I don't have to say something.
-
Right. Because not everything I say
-
will be profitable. And if I want a marriage to
-
work, then I better learn how to submit my mouth.
-
To the throne of God. Amen.
-
Self-control is a good thing. It is save you from a lot of
-
trouble. Hallelujah, just look and smile.
-
That's all I've learned how to just smile.
-
Y'all when y'all see me smiling like that, you know.
-
So when you come talk to me and I'm just smiling like that, I'm
-
not agreeing probably probably not agreeing anybody.
-
Say, yes that's ever talk with me.
-
You know, I ain't agree and I may be a smiling but I'm not
-
agreeing, right? I'm just keeping my mouth shut
-
so that wisdom can flow from my lips. so that wisdom can flow
-
from my lips and not something else would not be good.
-
So the next thing he wants you to be filled with is Hope.
-
Amen. Hope.
-
Well, I didn't really get into the fruits of righteousness but
-
y'all can figure that out. I filled with hope filled with
-
hope he already told us that. We were the hope of the world
-
where the hope and he wants us to be.
-
So filled of hope we should never be hopeless.
-
We should be hopeless. We shouldn't even get ourselves
-
in a situation where we feel like the situation is hopeless.
-
Because if we just believe all things are possible, no matter
-
what situation we ever get into, it doesn't have to be hopeless.
-
Amen. Nothing ever has to take us off
-
guard. I've said this before, we don't
-
ever have to be in a place to where we say, what in the world
-
are we going to do now? We don't have to live that way,
-
the world lives that way, but we as believers do not and the only
-
way we're ever going to be able to walk that out, is if we are
-
staying full of the Holy Ghost, if we are staying full of God,
-
full of his word, full of everything that he offers to us.
-
Then we don't have to say what are we going to do now?
-
Know, we'll do what we need to do now because the Holy Ghost
-
has been speaking to us all along.
-
Nothing has to take you off guard, you know.
-
When pastors mom had a stroke, it didn't take me off guard.
-
I mean I was like, okay, Lord we can do this.
-
You do it. You knew it ahead of time.
-
So guess what? If you do it ahead of time and
-
you knew that this was going to involve Our Lives, then.
-
Guess what? I can walk through it, I can
-
walk through it, anointed to walk through it, I don't believe
-
that. I don't have to be anointed to
-
do anything. I do I believe I need the
-
anointing every day in my life. The anointing is there.
-
Every day in your life for you to walk it out in every
-
Situation in your life, tap into the anointing, not just the
-
anointing to get up here and Minister know I needed the
-
annoyed anointing this morning because I had to get somebody up
-
out of the bed that 77 get them dressed, sit them at the table.
-
Walk them to the table with the Walker, feed them No, I'm
-
anointed. And you know what, I told the
-
devil I'm gonna get up there. I'm gonna do prayer and I'm
-
gonna preach because it's not gonna stop me because I know
-
there's Grace upon my life. Amen, so no matter what, come
-
on, we can do all things through Christ, if we know where our
-
help comes from, nothing has to take us off guard.
-
And actually, the Holy Ghost, if you are in tune with him, we'll
-
all Always give you a way of Escape.
-
No, maybe we don't have to be hopeless.
-
We have a way of Escape if, you know, what the scripture says,
-
because you've been reading it now, you are hopeless.
-
If you haven't been filling your tank up with the right thing, if
-
you've been filling your tank up with Instagram and YouTube and
-
Tick-Tock and, you know, Kardashians and ET and all the
-
crap of this world. Then guess what?
-
You will live a hopeless life because you'll be no better.
-
But if you're feeling up, come on with the word of God, the
-
word of God, that's alive. Didn't he say that we were to
-
have life and life more abundantly?
-
Well, how are we going to live a lively life?
-
We've got to stay in the word of God, which is alive that brings
-
life. Hallelujah.
-
And the Bible says that he'll Quicken even our mortal body.
-
So when you feel Tire tap into the Holy Ghost and get a
-
quickening. I like what old brother one of
-
the old-timers? I don't know if it was norvel
-
Hayes or one of the other ones. Probably not him and old
-
Minister. He said every morning he'd jump
-
up out of the bed. Yes Smith Wigglesworth.
-
That's who it was. He jump up out of the bed and do
-
a dance buys bed. Come on every day because why
-
he's going to tap into? Do you think he felt like
-
jumping up out of the bed every day and dancing around?
-
No, he chose to make a decision that I'm going to get up every
-
day. Come on because this is the day
-
that the Lord has made. I'm gonna Rejoice, I'm gonna be
-
glad and I'm going to get up and do what the Lord has called me
-
to do every day. Hallelujah, because he learned
-
how to tap into a fool. The fullness of God.
-
Hallelujah. So full of Hope full of joy full
-
of Peace. We should not be worried
-
wringing. Our hands wondering what's going
-
to happen with gas prices. What's going to happen with food
-
shortages? We should be worried about.
-
At all at all. Listen I remember some of y'all
-
may know but there's a lot of new people.
-
How many of you have really fairly new?
-
You have look at this all these new people, I remember when
-
pastor and I were going to Bible school out in Oklahoma at Rhema
-
and I mean, we didn't have anything and I was cleaning
-
doing jobs. He was working at night.
-
Well, yeah, working that night. And then getting up first, they
-
actually didn't get to go to sleep.
-
He come straight home and go to Rama.
-
But anyway, we didn't have a whole lot.
-
And somebody paid for our school tuition.
-
That's the only way we were able to go.
-
And I remember one weekend, my mom decided she was going to
-
come visit and so she got there, you know, and unloaded, whatever
-
it was a Friday night or whatever it was going to be.
-
She was going to be there over the weekend and stay the week.
-
And so she opened up the frigerator and looked in the
-
frigerator. And said, well what were y'all
-
going to eat tonight? I said the Lord will provide.
-
What are you going to eat tonight?
-
I said the Lord will provide Amen.
-
So you know how he provided. Mama went to Costco.
-
I didn't bag and say, I don't know Mom.
-
I mean, I don't know how we gonna make it.
-
I don't know what we're going to eat, but the Lord will provide
-
and he's going to provide evidently through you because
-
you're offering to go. I didn't ask you to go.
-
I didn't beg you to go. Come on, I didn't manipulate you
-
to go. But you had the resources and
-
offered to go. She said, well, I guess if I
-
want to eat, we gonna go unless we want a fast.
-
That's okay. I can do that too, right?
-
No listen. He supplies everything in our
-
life, everything there's times. You don't have anything, but
-
he's all. He's and I have never had to beg
-
for food ever. Had to beg for bread.
-
I remember that same season in our life that I went to the
-
cabinet and I had to come up. I said, all right.
-
Lord, you're going to have to give me a creative recipe
-
because all I see in here is a little package of hamburger meat
-
was like that one little pound. I had one box a Jiffy corn mix
-
y'all know what that is that then the day it was only like 30
-
cents a box, you know. And I had one can of corn.
-
And some taco seasoning. so I said, all right, well we going
-
to have what we call it Sean remembers Taco surprise I didn't
-
know what I was doing. You know.
-
But that was that was our last supper, you know?
-
And so I, you know, whipped up Taco surprise, I, you know,
-
bait. Now they have cool Taco bakes.
-
I mean that this was before the time of taco bake, guys.
-
I didn't know what it was. And anyway, he always always
-
took care of us, he always supplies all and everything we
-
have. I've never felt hopeless though.
-
Because I knew God was going to provide.
-
I knew he was going to take care of us because we were doing what
-
he wanted us to do. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. I never had to go to get food
-
stamps. I mean, I'm thinking to myself.
-
How stupid are you? You could have.
-
But I never did. And God always took care of us.
-
Always, we never missed a meal always because he was so
-
faithful and so good because We were living in the fullness of
-
who he is. We were never hopeless.
-
So Romans 15:13 says now may the god of Hope.
-
Fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect.
-
Peace. As you trust in him and may the
-
power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life
-
with his super abundance until you radiate with hope.
-
Hallelujah. Never do things have to look
-
hopeless in your life if you are staying in a position of being
-
filled up with the spirit of the Living God, Amen.
-
He's alive. He's real.
-
And he wants to feel you to the fullness of who he is, in
-
everything in your life, whatever's lacking.
