  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

  2. from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoyed this message. Let's turn over to Numbers.

    Numbers 23 chapter mention

  4. Chapter 23, I'm really excited about today's message because

  5. the Lord dropped this in my spirit.

  6. Now, when I say, That there are messages that I study out,

  7. meaning I'm reading doing my Bible, reading different things

  8. and I've come across things and I get a perception, right?

  9. Some messages that I Minister comes up again by the perception

  10. that we need to cover this again.

  11. But then sometimes messages come, when I'm not even thinking

  12. about it, studying have no thought, and the Lord drops a

  13. concept and then at that juncture, I'm life.

  14. Mmm, well there's something here and when I began to unveil this

  15. myself this morning more, I realize this will not be one

  16. service. In fact it'll probably be 3.

  17. So again if you're going to get the totality of something then

  18. you're going to have to follow through in order to to receive

  19. all that God wants to do and what I'm talking to you today,

  20. as it is a must it is a must, this is not, it can be this way,

  21. it could be this way, maybe it. It's a must It's a must which

  22. means there is no other way. But this way, and I'm not

  23. talking about coming to the father through Jesus.

  24. I'm not talking about the New Birth experience.

  25. All right, we're talking about something else today Menorah to

  26. do it. Let's build a foundation

  27. numbers. 23:19 says, this says, God is not a man that he should

    Numbers 23:19

  28. lie. Nor a son of man that he should

  29. repent. Has he said, and will he not do

  30. it or has he spoken and will he not make it good?

  31. Now, there's a whole lot in this one verse and lets, you know

  32. what, because I'm doing three weeks, there's no telling how

  33. long I'll stay on one verse because I'll just go as the

  34. spirit leads me in each verse. First thing, I want us to look

  35. at, is this, as I read it, the Lord dropped this, he said, will

  36. say it now. So here it is repent.

  37. Notice that first of all, God is not a man.

  38. So again, you cannot equate god with anything.

  39. You see naturally, you cannot equate with though, he has terms

  40. that are associated with Humanity like father, but you

  41. can't look at a father and say, I've seen God Cause God the

  42. father is the perfect father. And all of us no matter how much

  43. we aspire to want to be like our heavenly father and maybe model

  44. it pretty well, we will not do it as well as he does period.

  45. So he is awesome but he's not a man that he should lie, which

  46. tells us is, he never lies. So again you have to take

  47. changer, you're mighty media and say whatever God says, is not a

  48. lot. And whatever he says he's gonna

  49. do, he's not lying. And the problem is, is we become

  50. kind of a custom with lying Although we're not at like we're

  51. lying. We do this most of the time with

  52. our kids. Well, and our kids will be

  53. talking to us about something. They want something want some?

  54. Okay, we'll get it. Okay, we'll go later.

  55. Okay, we'll do this and we'll kind of sneak statements to kind

  56. of, you know, get them to quit. But then we don't act on it.

  57. So in our children's mind dad said we go to Disney and we

  58. haven't gone. Dan said, he bought me a bike

  59. and he hasn't bought it. Dad said, he'd take me to this

  60. or Mom and they didn't do it. But when God says something he's

  61. going to do it, he's not a liar. In fact, he can't lie at all.

  62. It's be really important for us to hear what he's saying.

  63. So again, you can't go to God and go.

  64. I don't know about that. God can't lie.

  65. So if he calls you healed, Then your heel.

  66. You can't. He's not a liar.

  67. If he says you're away, then you're away.

  68. And the only way you're not away is because you choose to not

  69. believe God, it's not a god problem, then it becomes our

  70. problem because God can't lie. What God says he says and that's

  71. it. And it's our responsibility to

  72. do the next thing. Nor a son of man that he should

  73. repent. Repent means, change your

  74. thinking. But we've been so religiously

  75. brainwashed because we water down the world with the word to

  76. only mean ask Jesus into your heart.

  77. So when you die, you'll go to heaven teachings that we have

  78. changed repent to only have this thought process, quit doing evil

  79. and turn and only do good. And that's what we've relegated

  80. repent to when the original meaning of repent means, change

  81. your thinking change your thinking so he's saying he's not

  82. a son of man that he has to change his thinking.

  83. We have to change ours. I said we have to change ours

  84. and we'll see why we have to change our share in a minute.

  85. And it says has he said And will he not do it or has he spoken

  86. and will he not make it good? Does God do what he says?

  87. Yes, he does. How do we know this?

  88. Let's look at some scripture in Matthew and Luke 21:33.

    Luke 21:33

  89. It says this Heaven and Earth will pass away, but Ma my words

  90. will, what they will, not pass away.

  91. They will not pass away, they will not heaven and earth.

  92. Will pass away before his word would pass away.

  93. Isaiah 55:11. Isaiah 55:11.

    Isaiah 55:11 Isaiah 55:11

  94. He says this. So shall my word be?

  95. So shall my word be? So shall my word be which goes

  96. out from my mouth out of my mouth, it shall not return to me

  97. void, but it shall accomplish what I please.

  98. And it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.

  99. It will certainly do it. I've said it will certainly do

  100. it, so God is not a man that he should lie.

  101. God's word is truth. God's word will do what God

  102. said. He will do.

  103. God's word will do what he said he will do.

  104. Let's go to Genesis chapter 1. I said those to set context Of

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  105. God, scripture for us, because if we're going to learn what the

  106. Lord wants to get over to us today and in the next couple of

  107. weeks to come, then we're going to have to understand how God

  108. looks at the words that come out of his mouth.

  109. Okay, Genesis 1:26 and 27. Then God then God.

    Genesis 1:26

  110. What? Then God, what?

  111. So taking that in context of Isaiah 55, he said the words

  112. that goes out of my mouth, it shall not return to me void, but

  113. it will accomplish that which I please, it will certainly do as

  114. I sent it. So God said, what's he want to

  115. accomplish? Let us make man in our image,

  116. according to our likeness and let them rule.

  117. Let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea over, the birds

  118. of the sky, over the cattle, over all the Earth and over

  119. every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, God created, man

  120. in his own image in the image of God, he created him male and

  121. female, he created him. So God through his word says, I

  122. will have a human race that will be in my image and they will

  123. have dominion. God said, this.

  124. Who said it? God said it.

  125. So we'll God have a human race that will have dominion.

  126. Yes, he will because he said it. Because he said it, because he

  127. said it, because he said it. And we know according to Genesis

  128. that he formed man of the Dust of the earth chapter 2 and it

  129. says he breathed into his nostrils, the Breath of Life in

  130. essence, he imparted from his being his spiritual DNA.

  131. He he, he breathed into the nostrils of man and he became a

  132. Living spirit. By which the Holy Spirit could

  133. then communicate with him and identify him as a Son of God.

  134. And he created this being to have a spirit.

  135. We know in 1st Thessalonians 5:23, I'll probably come back to

  136. this and and deal with a little bit more in a later teaching,

  137. but he said that are Spirit soul and body would remain blameless

  138. until the return of of Christ. And so that identifies, that we

  139. are a threefold nature person. We are a spirit, we have a soul

  140. and we live in a body. Okay we are a spirit, we have a

  141. soul and we live in a body. And so God poured from his

  142. Spirit into this man who made a Living spirit that the Holy

  143. Spirit could identify with and communicate with that, then

  144. opened up a soul Realm by which he can now Have a gate that Soul

  145. round by his spirit that then would influence his physical

  146. body realm and his physical body did not know sickness disease,

  147. like nothing. It was glorified he was a being

  148. that was created without sin man.

  149. It was awesome but the Lord communicates to this beam

  150. because he is a free will be just like all beings that God

  151. creates and he says to him. In essence.

  152. This is the meaning of that statement.

  153. When the Lord says you can eat of any tree of the garden, but

  154. of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat

  155. for the day. You eat, you will surely what

  156. die? Okay, in essence the Lord says

  157. prove, you love me by keeping my word.

  158. Jesus literally said in John chapter 15, he says, if you love

    John 15 chapter mention

  159. me You will keep my word, you'll keep my command, you'll do what

  160. I say. He didn't say, if you love me,

  161. you'll feel it. Okay.

  162. If you love me, we're going to feel something.

  163. When we see each other, when I come in the room, you're gonna

  164. go, who I feel something. Many of you started pursuing the

  165. opposite sex because you felt something, okay?

  166. And many you're like, wish I wouldn't have felt that.

  167. I'm not saying with who you have today, but I'm sure some of you

  168. have some relationships. You're like, wish I want the

  169. felt that we shouldn't felt that at all.

  170. Wish. I went to follow that feeling.

  171. Oh, now the Lord didn't come in, the cool of the day and Adam

  172. goes, oh, I feel love. I just feel the love of God now.

  173. Oh, you don't want to hear this? Come on.

  174. Help me out because, man, we gonna go a little bit deeper in

  175. this. De OK.

  176. He said, if you love me, you'll keep my word.

  177. So, the father says now, son. I love you.

  178. Look what I created for you. Look the environment I put you

  179. in. Look how much I care for you.

  180. Look how much I provide it for you all.

  181. I need you to do is continue to maintain my word.

  182. There's only one thing you don't do.

  183. Only one. And that's don't eat of the tree

  184. of the knowledge of Good and Evil.

  185. For the day you eat of it, you will surely want Da.

  186. Well, we know in Genesis chapter 3, that Adam ate the fruit.

    Genesis 3 chapter mention

  187. And the Bible says, when he ate the fruit sin entered the world

  188. in essence, Adam died. Now, we know, Adam did not cease

  189. to breathe. He didn't just fall down on the

  190. garden floor. And Eve didn't either.

  191. They were still breathing. They still could think.

  192. They could still feel. They could still process

  193. information with their mind. So, their soul was still there,

  194. but their Spirit died, their Spirit became separated from

  195. God, no longer it is, is it in the nature of God?

  196. And as a result of that, atom now when he fell from Dominion

  197. has to live his life from his soul Realm.

  198. Not only his soul realm. But from his body realm as well,

  199. meaning he began to make decisions based upon how it made

  200. him feel or based upon how he saw things and he knew his own

  201. physical limitations. So he would begin to allow what

  202. he thought he could or couldn't do naturally based upon

  203. experience which is his body Realm.

  204. Or the way he felt concerning his situation in essence.

  205. The three full nature man, although he was still a spirit,

  206. it was dead to God, not alive to God, and had no capacity to be

  207. to connect with God, are you hearing me?

  208. So he then must navigate life through his thinking, his mind,

  209. his soul realm, that was predicated.

  210. How he felt or his physical perceived limitations, see for

  211. Adam, he would not be able to say, okay I can come and pick up

  212. this speaker and the speaker, you know, and you know, these

  213. drums, all at one time and carry them on my back because you know

  214. what, I can't physically carry them.

  215. So he would not even attempt yet.

  216. There was a man anointed of God who could rip doors off of Of a

  217. Gates of the city and carry them.

  218. It's amazing. What happens when the spirit can

  219. get a hold of you? Instead of just your natural

  220. ability. Are you hearing me?

  221. So Adam was led by his soul, his mind, his emotions, his

  222. intellect, it dictated his choices and his physical

  223. strength, also dictated, it would also communicate.

  224. If he was tired, his body would begin to say, don't even get up,

  225. don't even try your don't even move, don't go there.

  226. It would begin to. Dictate how he lived. and even

  227. to today, that is how man lives Man lives in just those two

  228. Realms are two aspects of its being.

  229. They're making choices from their soul realm and from their

  230. body realm. Okay?

  231. Now, how do we know that? Why is it important that we

  232. identify? That Adam only operated in these

  233. things? Because Romans chapter 8 tells

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  234. us how a Of God operates. How a Son of God operates, Adam

  235. did operate this way, but he fell from operating this way.

  236. Look what it says here in Romans 14 8:14 and then we'll jump down

  237. to verse 16. He says, for all who are being

  238. led by the spirit of God being led by, what the spirit of God,

  239. these are the sons of God for all who are being what led by,

  240. how they feel. How many believers do not show

  241. up to church on a Sunday? I'm just giving one natural

  242. example. Okay, we have a scripture,

  243. Hebrews 10:25, do not forsake the assembling of yourselves

    Hebrews 10:25

  244. together as is the habit of some.

  245. As you see the day Drawing Near do not is that the word of God

  246. is Hebrews part of the Bible? I mean, do we use that verse?

  247. Should we use that verse? Shall we act on that verse would

  248. that verse Demonstrate. We love.

  249. God do not forsake. The assembling of yourselves

  250. together as is the habit of some.

  251. All the more as you see the day Drawing Near yet, how many

  252. Believers and maybe even in this room that you have woke up on a

  253. Sunday and your body said You're tired.

  254. You should just stay in today. You know, God loves you and you

  255. don't have to do this, religious exercise of going to church all

  256. the time. So you can be led by your body.

  257. And be justified before God or how about this one?

  258. I'm just not feeling like it today.

  259. I mean, you're not tired. You have 12 hours to sleep.

  260. I mean, you've done absolutely nothing.

  261. All weekend then laying around the house.

  262. I mean, you're almost bored out your mind but you just not

  263. feeling it. Okay, everybody wants real

  264. preach until you preach real. That's okay.

  265. That's all right. I'm fine.

  266. Amen. No.

  267. He says those who are led by well, what would the Holy Ghost?

  268. Say on a day that he knows he's asked the overseer of the Nobody

  269. Church to assemble the Saints, so that he could instruct them

  270. from Heaven, through the gift of Pastor, so that they can be

  271. equipped to do something in the planet.

  272. What would the Holy Ghost? Say on that day, that just stay

  273. in. Verse 16.

  274. Look at verse 16, the spirit himself.

  275. Testifies, with our spirit, that we are what the spirit himself.

  276. Testifies with, our not with our soul.

  277. Which tells me the Holy Spirit. Does not say well, how are you

  278. feeling today? Oh, you don't want to Scott,

  279. he's got me thinking, right? Pastor.

  280. You didn't even ask me how I felt.

  281. There's a holy spirit. Ask you how you feel.

  282. So, how does that make you feel? Right?

  283. You've seen this in and TV parodies and you sit down and

  284. the psychiatrist is chair to counselor and talking to you and

  285. give you a list of questions. So, and how does that make you

  286. feel? And how does that make you feel?

  287. You know, you just need to get in touch with your.

  288. I'll see you coach. You could, man, you can quote it

  289. like a scripture. I don't know that the spirits

  290. trying to get in touch with your feelings.

  291. I don't see anywhere in scripture, where the Holy Ghost

  292. says, I need to get in touch with their feelings.

  293. I do know where the scripture says that Jesus was tempted on

  294. all accounts. Like we were, which means he

  295. dealt with the same feelings, we dealt with, but he never let

  296. those feelings, dictate his actions.

  297. He said, I only do what the father says, because his Spirit

  298. has spoken to me, I'm glad that Jesus didn't have a self-help

  299. program after he prayed in the garden.

  300. Garden of Gethsemane and said, you know what?

  301. I don't know. Father, let this cup pass.

  302. Why weld about me. What about how I feel about

  303. this? What about this?

  304. Me taking on all, you know, they gonna beat me, you know, they

  305. gonna Scourge me. You know, I'm not to carry that

  306. cross. I mean, what about my help?

  307. Where's my care? What about how I feel about

  308. taking this cross on? It's a passerby you priest like

  309. this, because there is a way to live in the spirit that we

  310. rarely tap. We rarely tap, and God is like,

  311. looking at his church and saying, get in the spirit.

  312. Come on, get in the spirit church.

  313. Get in the spirit church, get in the spirit.

  314. This lets us know that when Adam ate the fruit, he could no

  315. longer be God's child because the spirit could not testify

  316. with his Spirit nor could he be led by it.

  317. So, the true child of God is Led.

  318. By the spirit. Now why is that important?

  319. Look at John chapter 6, just setting the foundation here.

    John 6 chapter mention

  320. Okay, John 6:63. Not sure how far will go today.

    John 6:63

  321. But let's see where we're Lord takes us the spirit.

  322. And Ivy says, the spirit gives so what gives life all of your

  323. natural programs, your natural reading your natural eating, All

  324. of your personal time alone. And meditation on nothingness.

  325. Or nature for that matter. Sitting at the beach and

  326. watching the oceans. Come in.

  327. This is so relaxing can't give you life.

  328. Can't give you a life. I said it cannot give you life.

  329. The spirit gives life. What?

  330. Gives life the spirit you can't find life naturally.

  331. You can't find life emotionally mentally.

  332. You can't find life. Can't find it.

  333. I just need you to feed me. Positive words positives, words

  334. will not give you life. Now listen, I just can't be

  335. around all these. Because it doesn't feed my

  336. space, you don't have space. And watch face.

  337. You have has death because of it doesn't have Spirit, it doesn't

  338. have life. Avoidance is not life.

  339. Get away from it. All is not life.

  340. I know, plenty of people who go on vacation because of the

  341. stress of life. Trying to unwind only to not

  342. unwind, but only continue to hope they could stay there

  343. forever. Because when they come back,

  344. they're not better. When they get back some are like

  345. I need a vacation from my vacation.

  346. Number one or the minute. They get back at least a

  347. weekend. They're ready for another

  348. vacation. Which tells me.

  349. You got nothing while you were gone.

  350. All you did was feed your flesh, a different way.

  351. What you perceived you thought, if I do this, I'll feel better.

  352. But there's only one way that rate that brings life.

  353. The spirit gives life, the flesh counts for.

  354. Nothing counts for what, nothing counts for nothing.

  355. It counts for what? Nothing counts for.

  356. What? Nothing.

  357. If I'm not letting the spirit feed me, I'm getting nothing.

  358. Look what he goes on to say. He says the words I have spoken

  359. to you. They are full of the spirit and

  360. life which tells me this that as a child of God, if I'm not in

  361. the word and have a love relationship with God's word.

  362. Then I am not feeding my spirit and the only life I am living is

  363. a sole lead life. And a soul.

  364. LED life is not life. A soul LED life is the same life

  365. you came out of there's a way that seems right but in the end

  366. lies. Amen.

  367. Now, it's funny thing because the spit his words are spirit

  368. and life. Why?

  369. This is important? Hebrews 4:12 and I love the

    Hebrews 4:12

  370. passion translation of verse 12 and 13 because there's only one

  371. place that can get your soul realm away from your spirit

  372. Realm. It says for we have the Living

  373. Word of God which is full of energy, like a to mouth sword,

  374. it will even penetrate to the very core of our being where

  375. Soul and Spirit bone and Marrow, meat, that is the threefold

  376. nature, a man, Spirit soul and body.

  377. I am a spirit, I have a soul and I live in a body.

  378. And it's the word and only the word that can let you know

  379. whether that is soulish leading or Spirit leading.

  380. So, if you're not in the word, I can guarantee you, you are a

  381. sole lead believer. Which is the same existence that

  382. the loss live. And what's so horrible about

  383. that statement is that you actually have a nature within

  384. you to live differently. The world can't help it.

  385. They have to be led. They are stuck being led by the

  386. way, they feel the way. They are.

  387. Our processing information based upon the accumulation of their

  388. knowledge based upon the Paradigm of their thinking.

  389. They can't change it. I said they can't change it.

  390. Because they're stuck in a Thing Called Death.

  391. They're separated from God's spirit and God's word, and

  392. that's where life exists. And so, the combination of all

  393. their decision-making is based upon what they naturally can do

  394. with their body. And how they mentally are an

  395. emotionally, feel about a situation.

  396. And as a result of that, it governs, the way they act in

  397. life, can't help it. But a person that's born of God,

  398. their Spirit man has been made alive.

  399. They become a new creature in Christ, and then the third

  400. person of the godhead comes and lives on the inside of them and

  401. identifies with their Spirit. Now, you're a child of God and

  402. as a result of that, you have capacity to get your mind

  403. together, your soul realm together, it doesn't have to

  404. call the shots anymore, but it will always call the shots.

  405. If you do, not place the word as an emphasis of your life, Coming

  406. to church and not reading the word on your own guarantees, you

  407. will live a so LED life. Guarantees and God never called

  408. you to be led by your soul. All right, let's go on.

  409. It says it will penetrate to the very core of our being where

  410. Soul and Spirit bone and Marrow me, it interprets and reveals

  411. the true thoughts and secret motives of our heart.

  412. That's why most people don't want to read the word because

  413. they don't want to get around their own thinking.

  414. They don't have to change the way they feel about it.

  415. They want the entitlement of heaven without the

  416. responsibility of changing on the planet.

  417. There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God.

  418. Whoo, for nothing that we do remains a secret and nothing

  419. created is concealed. Oh my goodness, but everything

  420. is exposed. And defenseless before his eyes

  421. to whom, we must render an account.

  422. You know what I love about verse 13, so much.

  423. Because typically, when we read that, you people have it in the

  424. negative sense. Huh?

  425. Oh my gosh, the Lord's. Just, you know, looking

  426. everything I'm saying, you better Because you know what

  427. he's doing, he's saying his faith.

  428. There is Faith. There is Faith there.

  429. What's their motive whilst our heart are?

  430. They believe in me at board? And if they are, the Lord says,

  431. I'm not a man that I should lie. That word has to come to pass in

  432. that person's life because I know their thoughts.

  433. I know their motive, I know they're being led by the spirit,

  434. and I'm gonna bring that thing to pass in their life and not a

  435. devil in hell, not a person on the planet.

  436. Can stop it from coming to pass because ask my child being led

  437. by mice. Spirit and my spirits going to

  438. bring life to that situation. Because they're not moved by the

  439. situation, they're feeling the circumstance, what's going on?

  440. They're actually living contrary to the way everybody else does

  441. because they're doing it by the spirit now and not by the soul.

  442. All I, thank God that I could look to my father and say, you

  443. know, I'm in faith. You know, I'm in faith.

  444. I learned a lesson from Kenneth E Hagin when he was on the bed

  445. of sickness, incurable heart disease.

  446. He was going through the word, going through the word, going

  447. through the word. Everybody had only one

  448. destination for the man and it was death.

  449. You're gonna die. It's a matter of time.

  450. It's going to come. It's coming.

  451. Just get ready. Get yourself ready is at least

  452. you know? You're right with God it's

  453. coming but somewhere along the line.

  454. He began to realize Faith could do.

  455. And he made this statement in prayer.

  456. Once he said, Lord, if you said that, I didn't believe you.

  457. I'd have to call you a liar and the Lord spoke to him.

  458. Why? Because he was listening to his

  459. Spirit and the Lord says you do believe, based upon what, you

  460. know, which let him know as a young man there must be

  461. something. I don't know that stopping a

  462. result. And within a few months of that

  463. particular prayer time with the father, he came across the

  464. scripture again that said believe you receive When you

  465. pray and he realized that it's not believing God can heal me is

  466. believing. God has healed me that I'm

  467. already healed. I'm not waiting on it.

  468. Healing as far as God's concern I am.

  469. And the minute that I thought from the spirit was revealed to

  470. him and he says that's it, then the Lord immediately spoke to

  471. him and said to him, well people who are well or not lying in the

  472. bed in the afternoon. So in essence, he was saying if

  473. you really believe it's done and you are, then why are you laying

  474. in the bed? Now his body said you're laying

  475. here cause you're paralyzed. From his waist down, he felt

  476. nothing. Completely weak.

  477. So, his body was still testified, you can't get out of

  478. bed, you can't get out of bed. But his spirit said, his word

  479. doesn't fail. So it says, I took my legs

  480. brother and said he took his legs and threw him over off the

  481. bed. And he said, they hit the floor,

  482. like a sack of potatoes. And he grabbed, hold to the bed

  483. post to hold onto himself. And in that action, everything

  484. saying you're an idiot, his mind.

  485. And he's emotions are saying you've blown it.

  486. Now you're stuck. You're gonna die laying on the

  487. floors that in the bed, but yet in that moment of Faith calling

  488. those things that be not as though they were his Spirit man,

  489. alive to the word and acting on that Spirit.

  490. He said, all of a sudden something hit the top of my head

  491. said something, hit me some heat power the Holy Ghost.

  492. And he said in it with through my body and it was like knobs

  493. like needle stabbing me and said it hurt so bad but it felt so

  494. good because I couldn't feel anything before and all of a

  495. sudden he was completely healed and walked out of the room.

  496. Hallelujah. And from that, I said, Lord if

  497. there's any time that I'm believing you.

  498. Because I know you're a man that cannot lie.

  499. You're not a man that you should lie and I'm believing.

  500. I'll look at him if I don't see result.

  501. I said, what don't I know right now?

  502. Cause if you don't think I'm believing, I'd call you a liar.

  503. I know that God is searching my heart and his spirit is life and

  504. his word will cut my soul out of the equation.

  505. My spirit man can't hear from heaven.

  506. And I don't let my soul and you don't let your soul, dictate

  507. your actions. Now, why is this important look

  508. at John chapter 4. John chapter 4.

    John 4 chapter mention John 4 chapter mention

  509. John chapter 4 who's speaking? Who's speaking say it loud?

    John 4 chapter mention

  510. Who's speaking? Jesus is talking, is Jesus, your

  511. lord? I said, is Jesus your Lord?

  512. Are you to obey Jesus in some things?

  513. And how many things so should we obey him in this statement?

  514. Should we obey him in the statement?

  515. So our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ, who came to the

  516. Earth died on the cross paid the way so that our sin could be

  517. eradicated moved out of the way. So that we could become children

  518. of God through his death. Burial and Resurrection are

  519. King. Lord, Jesus said, but an hour is

  520. coming and now is when And the who true worshippers, which

  521. imply there's false ones. true worshipers will worship the

  522. father how in spirit, not just in spirit, but and Truth for

  523. such people. The father seeks to be his

  524. worshipers. Now, what type of people do the

  525. father seek to worship Him? Those who Worship in spirit and

  526. truth. That's who he seeks.

  527. Who's he seeking those who worship?

  528. How in spirit and, in truth who did the qualification here?

  529. Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Which tells me if you don't meet

  530. this requirement dad's not running you down.

  531. Okay. Quit trying to make the word fit

  532. your feeling. Quit trying to make the word fit

  533. your exception. Cause not today I'm not going to

  534. go there in detail. but for many of you in some of your Solus

  535. responses, God did something And you thought you were in the

  536. spirit, but you were not and God did not do it because of your

  537. soul. He did it because of the spirit

  538. that operates from another place.

  539. I'm proven scripture that God never responded to the Natural

  540. Cry of man. and you read all about David saying, I cried out

  541. to the Lord, but if you don't have context and you don't know

  542. why, Is he responding to a cry or is he responding to his own

  543. word? Man, we I've put God in a class

  544. that we are allowing ourselves to live a soulish life.

  545. And we've not even begin to tap the realm of a Spirit Led life.

  546. The father, only seeks this type of worshiper who worships in

  547. what spirit and Truth verse 12. 24.

  548. God is God is what what is? God spirit and those who worship

  549. Him. Those who worship Him could

  550. maybe can possibly could on Sunday for sure. when you're in

  551. a bad spot and everything's falling apart and you are an

  552. emotional Frenzy, God is spirit and those who worship Him must

  553. worship Him. How You cannot worship him

  554. another way. It is impossible to worship God

  555. from your soul. It's impossible to worship God

  556. from your soul, your soul can get involved with your spirit,

  557. but you cannot worship Him from your soul.

  558. Your soul will have a reflection of some spiritual things but you

  559. cannot worship Him from your soul.

  560. And until you learn that. You will not tap into the deeper

  561. things of God, even though you lie that you are. because when

  562. you recognize tapping into the spirit, Then how my soul

  563. responds will really be relevant, whether the response

  564. in that moment, is this Elation of Joy or whether the response

  565. In This Moment, is that I'm on my face and it's the presence of

  566. God is so thick, it won't matter.

  567. How I feel in that moment. Because the feeling of any

  568. moment could be different and I'm okay with that because I

  569. know I'm in the spirit, yet many only believe that they've

  570. touched the Hem of God. When they feel away.

  571. Oh, we had church today. I could feel the presence of

  572. God. You may have never had church

  573. today, your life. Because I didn't say that you

  574. must worship this way. He said.

  575. Jesus said, this is the only way you worship me.

  576. Think about the word worship. The word worship means, it means

  577. to bow to the will of another, in essence.

  578. True worship is obeying. The one that's in supreme

  579. authority, how do we know this? It's not singing, you know, we

  580. have relegated worship to a song.

  581. The slow ones. Praise is a fast one.

  582. Right. That's why we call it praise and

  583. worship, right? And so we relegated now worship

  584. hell. I was just worshiping the Lord

  585. this morning because you were singing a slow song.

  586. No you weren't. Oh I was just crying out with

  587. all my soul. So If what's happening in your

  588. soul realm is not by the spirit, it's irrelevant.

  589. Crying does not get God's attention.

  590. Screaming does not get his attention.

  591. Complaining, definitely does not get his attention.

  592. How do we know this? Well, let me give an example.

  593. God leads Israel out of Egypt, right?

  594. We know that those people because just based upon

  595. scripture, right? They can't even be born of the

  596. spirit of God. So they are definitely living by

  597. their soul Realm. Made all their decision.

  598. By the way they feel. By the restrictions of their

  599. physical ability period. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

  600. So as a result of that, he takes them through the Red Sea, get

  601. some Into the Wilderness. And what do they do?

  602. Immediately three days in, what do they do?

  603. What do they do? They complain because they are

  604. hungry. I said they're hungry.

  605. Okay. They're not wrong.

  606. Be hungry, feel yourself. I get it.

  607. So, the Lord does something. Now, why does he do it?

  608. You think he's only doing it because they're complaining.

  609. They're complaining prayer. Got God to answer.

  610. Oh. See, that's the illusion.

  611. That's the illusion. We do not understand training

  612. our spirit. The Bible is very clear, I'll

  613. just do it in a quick nutshell and then hopefully we'll come

  614. back to it next week. The Bible says that when you're

  615. born again, you become a babe in Christ.

  616. Now, let's take natural babes when you naturally had a baby

  617. came out of your womb. How did the baby?

  618. Let you know, what was hungry? It cried, right?

  619. And then you fed it and when you fed it, right?

  620. You hear what I'm saying after you fed it.

  621. He quit crying. There you go.

  622. Everything's fine. No problem.

  623. Okay, then when he gets hungry again, what's it do and why are

  624. we doing this? Come on.

  625. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this?

  626. Why are we doing this? Come on.

  627. Why are we doing this? Because until they develop

  628. words, There's a process. There's a process.

  629. Bring me water. There's a process.

  630. Hallelujah. I said there's a process.

  631. God. Does for Israel because they

  632. cried or because he said something before, the he ever

  633. delivered them? Okay, this one is important to

  634. read your Bible. So does he feed them bread, at

  635. their complaint? Or does he feed them bread?

  636. Because he spoke to a man called Abram and said I'm going to make

  637. your seed like the Sands of the Sea and the stars of the sky and

  638. they will multiply but yet they'll come a season that they

  639. will be oppressed by nation and I'll pull them out.

  640. Of that Nation. Who said this?

  641. God said it, I'll pull him out of that nation and I'll bring

  642. them back to the land. You're looking at this land

  643. flowing with milk and honey. So did God answered their prayer

  644. because of their soulish response or did he answer it

  645. because he spoken because he's a, he's not a man that he should

  646. lie and what he told Abram he's able to do over 400 something

  647. years later. And we think us crying out from

  648. our soul Realms getting response from God, will maybe someone was

  649. praying and interceding in the spirit for you.

  650. And actually touch God and your soul had nothing to do with that

  651. answer prayer. But why did he give man in the

  652. first place to feed them? I know you've read the

  653. scripture. What's it say he said you know I

  654. gave a man or bread so that I might teach them that man shall

  655. not live on bread alone but out of come on.

  656. But out of every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God

  657. because my word is spirit and the spirit is life and I want to

  658. connect with my people only one way.

  659. There's only one way I can. And that is by the spirit.

  660. Church houses are full of soulish worship and soulish

  661. preaching, full of people being a tad in afire, With how you

  662. feel. Well, I just need someone to

  663. preach me. That knows how I feel.

  664. So, you want to live less now? Because if all they can do is

  665. identify with the way that you feel, then the best you can live

  666. as a Pharisee, tzedakah lifestyle.

  667. See, if all you do is live by your soul, you're going to

  668. produce a religion. Adams, first Soul response was

  669. to cover himself with leaves. This is why when Jesus showed up

  670. started preaching, he said this repent.

  671. You saw arounds jacked up. That's what he's saying.

  672. Repent, change it change the way you think quit processing the

  673. kingdom of God with your soul. Repent.

  674. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

  675. It operates by the spirit. It operates by the spirit.

  676. I said it operates by the spirit.

  677. I said it operates by the spirit.

  678. I said it operates by the spirit.

  679. So they cried out because God gave a word to a man named Abram

  680. that, I'll deliver them, bring them to this place because God

  681. is acting on his word. I said he's acting on his work.

  682. Let me say it this way. God did not send Jesus because

  683. Humanity was crying out to God, to save him.

  684. God sent Jesus because God said in Genesis chapter 32 Satan are

    Genesis 32 chapter mention

  685. the serpent. I'm gonna send my seed through

  686. the woman. So no matter how bad man, then I

  687. Lord do something to help me. Help me Lord.

  688. Then respond to that soul. He responded to his word, I said

  689. he responded to his word, he responded to a cuz his word

  690. spirit. And the spirit is life.

  691. Hallelujah. Oh, I'm so thankful for the

  692. spirit of God, because the spirit of God, so much more

  693. powerful than natural happiness self-made.

  694. Feelings of of, you know, feeling good about myself.

  695. Shaking All Things based upon my conditions.

  696. To get me in a place of Zen. I need a ride, a worry to letter

  697. to YouTube and say quit, putting Xin moments on my YouTube TV.

  698. Separation of church and state man-made.

  699. Why you pushing your religion on me?

  700. They can push every other religion, can't they?

  701. But you start talking about Jesus.

  702. That's another thing. But, you know, that's not the

  703. only time the other the Israelites Cried Out, is it they

  704. cried out another Tom, they said or tired.

  705. I just bread. We want some meat.

  706. Well, did God respond to that? Well, how did that end?

  707. They were dead. That prayer killed them.

  708. That tells us if I continue to engage God soulish lie and do

  709. not learn how to go after him spiritually.

  710. I'm gonna things are going to die my life.

  711. Wow. Aren't you glad you're saved?

  712. Let me end with this scripture and I'll save the rest for Next

  713. week, I think there's enough right now.

  714. I don't need to go any further. Hallelujah.

  715. I'm looking at how full this place is.

  716. I'll see how full it is next week.

  717. Let me just throw it out there unless you are serving somewhere

  718. in the church other than in here, and you're not here.

  719. Other than those that I know are on vacation right now.

  720. If you're on vacation, you might want to send me e-mail.

  721. I'm gonna know you listen to your soul and didn't come to

  722. church. Galatians 5:25 says, if we live

    Galatians 5:25

  723. by the spirit, I said if we live by the spirit, let us also what?

  724. Walk by the spirit. You know, how quick Believers

  725. are? I've asked you to come to my

  726. heart? Save me yet.

  727. They live by the soil. They walked by it.

  728. They are alive by the spirit but they walk by the soul.

  729. They live by the spirit but they lost the wall by the sport Soul.

  730. We were only led by the soul in our separation from God.

  731. The minute were born again. That doesn't meet make us

  732. perficient in our soul realm. It gives us capacity to develop

  733. our soul realm to renew our mind, so that it will side with

  734. the spirit. And yield to the spirit and not

  735. taking account, just our five senses.

  736. But to be able to go and say, what does he say?

  737. Because God is not a man that he should lie, and whatever he says

  738. is going to come to pass. Amen.

  739. And God has spoken enough General things.

  740. That the reason why a lot of stuff happening for our lives is

  741. because he's made some statements openly like no weapon

  742. formed against the church will prosper which means some of you

  743. are living a sole lead life but because God said that they

  744. wouldn't prosper in the church and you're technically in the

  745. church then its ability to prosper against you becomes more

  746. limiting. Not because you're crying out

  747. from your soul. But because Well, not lie

  748. against his word. And he needs you to get out of

  749. the soul and begin to dictate the spirit because the minute

  750. you begin to dictate the spirit, your life will go to a whole

  751. nother level because God's, he'll start running you down.

  752. He'll run you down. He'll be looking for you.

  753. He'll be looking for you. I mean how could I stay home on

  754. the day? He's called meet assembly.

  755. When he's looking for me, he's looking for me.

  756. He says he seeks those who worship Him in spirit and Truth.

  757. Which means God, the father was more excited about me being in

  758. church today than I was. He was more Jack that I showed

  759. up his child. Because he knows the power of

  760. his word and the power of His spirit.

  761. Being led by the spirit and being pressured by spirits in

  762. the spirit realm or two different things.

  763. Because pressure from the spirit realm, according to Ephesians,

  764. 6, principalities and powers, and spiritual rulers, and dark.

  765. Darkness will always be an attempt to appeal to your soul.

  766. Today, we need to make a decision.

  767. I'm done with living according to how I feel.

  768. I'm going to grow to live by the spirit and walk by I feel like I

  769. want to get married. I don't care how you feel.

  770. Well, you know, the scripture says not good for man to be

  771. alone. I understand that and guess

  772. what? Mammals along till God brought

  773. So might be better for you to stay alone till give God brings

  774. quit looking. Just worship Him in spirit and

  775. in truth, because he tells us that it will seek first, his

  776. kingdom, and his righteousness, and all the things that the

  777. Gentiles seek. So, why you looking for a wife,

  778. why you looking for a husband? Why don't you just look to

  779. Jesus? And then when they show up,

  780. you'll know not by feeling, but by the spirit, And you don't

  781. have to go tell them the Lord told me, you were going to be my

  782. wife. Hallelujah.

  783. Now, you listen to the wrong Spirit realm.

  784. Don't put pressure on people, just sit back at a come.

  785. People make relationships, so complicated.

  786. But they are complicated in the soul.

  787. Their mess in the soul. They're ooh and ah, in the

  788. beginning and then there's running and screaming.

  789. Somebody comes and mine's all the resources and then goes on

  790. down the road. Yep.

  791. Got to make a decision that God's not how you feel.

  792. God's spirit. And if God's spirit, then he's

  793. not touched by the emotions of, man.

  794. He's moved by his word and God has said enough in scripture to

  795. handle every situation that no matter how soulless you are.
