-
Well, praise the Lord. We're gonna try this again. We
-
had to do this about three times, but I think
-
we got it. Yes, this is Eternal Fire Ministry, the
-
Holy Spirit Ministry, unextinguished. Yes, my name is Jonathan Hardwick,
-
the one and only. As I said before, there are
-
many names that are Jonathan Hardwick, but they don't have
-
my DNA. They don't have my God Dna. We are
-
fired up and charged up. The Holy Spirit moved in
-
the room. We heard God speak. He said he promised
-
some things. He said he was going to do some things.
-
But we know that they're already done. Our praise is
-
the one that says it's already done. As I said.
-
If you would like to get in contact with this ministry,
-
telephone number eight six zero five zero zero eight three seven. No,
-
I'm not asking you for any money. If you look
-
at any of our podcasts, we don't ask you for money.
-
Ain't that something? We don't muffle the ox here. We're
-
trying to get some ox saved. That's right, that's right.
-
How many people do you have in your ministry? Enough? See,
-
you want five hundred people and can't get them outside.
-
Some of you got eight and don't want to do outreach.
-
That's okay. The harvest to just be for me. You
-
can sit there and watch. That's right. I know some
-
of you had Thanksgiving, You had your crazy relatives over there,
-
y'all were talking about those politics. Honey, tonight, I got
-
something for you. I want to address a statement that
-
many of us in this room are saying to God.
-
When it comes to us spending time with God in
-
his presence, the excuses become the priority of our daily
-
conversation with God. Sometimes our excuses are on the only
-
conversation we have with God. I want to address some
-
people this evening. We have time for everything else. Everybody
-
else would end up changing their time with God and
-
replacing it with things that steal His time with us.
-
I want to address some reasons why many of us
-
find it difficult to spend time with God. Many of
-
us want God to pardon us when we should be
-
at a place where we recognized that the things we
-
give our time to. I hope somebody's listening, the things
-
that we give our time to, ultimately is what we
-
become consumed to. The title of the message is and
-
I had to think about this for a minute. Let
-
me turn it up to say, y'all, can hear me?
-
The title of my message is pardon me. I had
-
a conflict of interest. Oh, this is the first part.
-
God was dealing with me about conflicts of interest. Now,
-
like I said, I'm gonna try to keep it sober,
-
but I don't know something. Whenever we make this statement,
-
I had a conflict of interest. When a person has
-
compelling interest, whether personal or financial, and that could interfere
-
with their personal judgment, decision or duties. This compromise the
-
objective and the integrity of their actions, as they may
-
be tempted to act in a way that benefits themselves
-
rather than their employer, clients, or another party to whom
-
they owe a duty. Oh God, I know something. You
-
wish you could turn the channel, but God told you
-
to listen. If you notice the definition, it says you
-
owe a duty to the previous party. It just means
-
that the true person or the thing you really owe
-
duty to you have forfeit this for something or somebody
-
else that is higher or more important than the person
-
who helped the original duty. Too, I had a conflict
-
of interest. We're gonna have to change today, Oh nobody.
-
I had to tell you this. I wish I could
-
tell God that, and why, you know what, but I
-
have to take it back. I find myself doing that lately. Lately,
-
I haven't been in the presence of God. I have
-
not been in fellowship with him. It seems like God's
-
en foosed with me. But you know how we do well, Lord.
-
I wish I could spend time, but I really gotta
-
get to the store because I don't have any food
-
in my house. If you notice the definition, as I
-
said before, it says that you still owe a duty
-
to the previous party and you forfeited it for something else.
-
In other words, God at this point was the most
-
important person on the schedule, because I know how some
-
of y'all do. You put God on a schedule. But
-
now he has gotten moved to the back of the
-
list because he has become our conflict of interest. He
-
is no longer important because there are other things that
-
have sold our time to that he holds a duty
-
to some of us in this room and some of
-
us listening to podcasts. You better listen to me, good.
-
Don't realize that the conflict that we're having is because
-
the very thing that as our interest is the thing
-
that has first place in our lives. Let me just
-
talk about this because I've can talk about this because
-
I'm going through it right now. I'm gonna act like
-
I'm going towards the door because I think some of
-
y'all gonna be leaving after the very thing that you
-
put God first, the very thing the interests. Because I
-
know a lot of us have interest. We have our hobbies.
-
I know that on Saturday, I have my basketball practice.
-
I'm trying to lose a little bit away, and there's
-
nothing wrong with that. But when you begin to luve
-
things more than God, that means that you have a
-
conflict of interest. Your interest becomes your conflicts. See some
-
of you hear me, but you're not hearing me. Let
-
me tell you what's about to happen. I guess I'll
-
go prophetic on you. Some of you don't realize you're
-
about to be forced to spend time a forced not
-
to spend time with God because there are gonna be
-
some circumstances that you're not going to be able to
-
go forward in unless you have instruction. Y'all not trying
-
to hand me, but I'm gonna help you with your
-
conflict of interest. When there is enmity, there is conflict.
-
What does enmity mean? You know we've heard this before,
-
to be in opposition with There is always going to
-
be an opposing factor. M hm. Yes, as long as
-
we allow our own interests, y'all listen to this because
-
God gave it to me. I'm gonna tell you, I'm
-
gonna repeat it again. I want you to hear very carefully.
-
There is always going to be an opposing factor as
-
long as we allow our own interest to add more interest,
-
meaning not the desire, but the cost of taking our
-
borrow time and putting it on things that are in
-
deficit instead of appreciating. Well, what do you mean by that?
-
What does it mean? What does it mean? It means
-
when God is calling us, not gonna act stup by God,
-
don't be calling you. Don't center it. Act like God's
-
calling you. Some of you step out the door and
-
you know that God's calling you to stay home. Why
-
would God now all of a sudden, wants me to steal?
-
He knows I've got to go to my soccer practice.
-
He knows I gotta go to this church make steal.
-
But I don't feel impressed in my spirit to go anywhere.
-
Come on, now, some of you don't realize. I guess
-
some of you must have forgot Oh God, I know
-
I can feel in the living room now. See some
-
of you don't realize you're not your own This is
-
very common. But some of you just take God for granted.
-
We don't want the sacrifice that we're gonna have to
-
go through. We don't want to have to give up
-
some of our interests. That means you're gonna have to
-
give up the baked sale. That means you're gonna have
-
to give up the soccer practice. That means you're gonna
-
have to give up the cooka ka karate. You don't
-
have to come through in the spirit. You're gonna have
-
to give that up for a season because y'all don't
-
want love lod mm hmmmm. So it means we become
-
interested in fulfilling things that are of a deficit to
-
our spirit. I'm gonna help you with something because this
-
means we are putting ourselves in a conflict of God's
-
own interests in our lives. See, when you appreciate God,
-
y'all don't understand appreciation. Appreciate God. It means that you're
-
willing to appreciate the interest in God and apply it
-
to the thing that has eternal value. See, eternal value
-
always has a return. Yes God. Oh, y'all don't want
-
to hear about finance. What see? You want to sit
-
there and waste your time with a fleshly conversation or
-
a fleshly Oh we're having a game night, shaoh? Are
-
you coming to the game, Yeah, because you're too busy
-
playing games. See, I can't get caught up in games.
-
I'm trying to get to a tested, trying to just
-
board game. I'm trying to play the game of the spirits.
-
I'm trying to play the game of God. And let
-
me tell you something. I don't have time to waste
-
my interests on things that are of deficit. I don't
-
have time to play with you or play with the
-
enemy that you play with. Ad mm hmm. We don't
-
have time, okay, to put our interest in things that
-
have deficits. Well, what are you talking about, honey? Let
-
me tell you something. How many people entertain conversations. Some
-
people could sit on that phone in gossip all night long,
-
and we sit there, honey all the and why you're
-
sitting there entertaining the devil. That room is sitting there vacant.
-
Your room is sitting up in their vacant I'm waiting
-
for your knees get on the floor. And in the
-
meantime I done sat there and gave all my interest
-
in my being to you in your interesting gossiping. Oh y'all,
-
don't want to hear it, talk about it, tell it.
-
Let me help you out. There is always going to
-
be something that gets your attention off of God. And
-
I'm telling you right now, God is trying to realign
-
some people in the things of the spirit. We ain't listening.
-
You don't see all the stuff going on around you,
-
all of the certain signs that he's showing you. I
-
ain't talking about Jesus coming, but I'm talking about being
-
in his presence and understanding. God was dealing with me today.
-
He was saying, Jonathan, let me tell you something. People
-
don't understand what's coming. See, they're sitting here wasting time
-
with things that are a deficit. They're not sitting here
-
trying to get some interest in the spirit. Because when
-
you get interest in the spirit, let me tell you something,
-
when the deficits start coming Hey, you've got some interest,
-
some appreciation in your spirit. That means that you can
-
stand in the midst of everything drying up. But if
-
you can stand in your spirit knowing that He can
-
deposit something in my spirit in the midst when it
-
seems like their spiritual famine in the land, honeyed up.
-
I don't care. I don't have to get from your
-
your sister, and I don't have to give from your reservoir.
-
I got my own reservoir that I can come into
-
because the Holy ghost of It's been stirring in my spirits.
-
If I've been in the presence of God, if I've
-
been in His glory in the worship and had that
-
expirens individually, when the famine comes, I can't drow. I
-
can draw from my own sister. That's right, right. Your
-
interests have to become His interests. Father. You are not
-
a person of your own. See some of us think, oh,
-
we got saved. But guess when I'm a rule what
-
I want to rule and give God when I want
-
to give. Oh no, honey, it don't work like that. Baby.
-
I wish it worked that way with me, honey, because
-
I did not sign up but for this type of
-
position that I'm in. Come on God, Yes, Lord, mm hmmmm,
-
thank you Lord. Romans Chapter seven. Let's just go there,
-
cause Jones, let me go to your first conflict. I'm
-
gonna talk about conflicts. I probably might just get to
-
one and we'll come back and do the rest. But
-
I'm gonna go to the one that y'all having a
-
problem with. H The first conflict is your conflict of schedule.
-
But I'm gonna speak to some people on podcasts and
-
some people in this room. Your schedule is about the change.
-
I don't care what your appointment is. I don't care
-
what you done scheduled. Honey, it is about to be
-
a delay in your schedule because God is sick and
-
tired of calling. It. Ain't nobody answering. See what casual
-
about this thing? We live in the United States of America.
-
We are the home of the free, the free of
-
the home, the home of the brave. And we can
-
sit there and salute a flag and we got the
-
you know the pleasures of spending time with God within
-
our one hour of a day schedule. And you know,
-
we can just incorporate God, you know in our daily
-
you know, before and wake up first thing in the morning.
-
It's me and God. It's me and God. But first
-
I gotta have my coffee. Your coffee is before God. Honey.
-
I'm i'm aa rock. Some of your world, honey, your
-
schedules are about to change. Some of the times that
-
you say you're gonna be getting up, that's the time
-
when you're gonna be praying. And the time that you're
-
gonna be sleeping, the time that you think you're supposed
-
to be sleeping, that's when you're gonna be praying. Oh somebody,
-
and I'm hearing up in there. You're gonna think I'm
-
crazy when it starts happening. Because sometimes when God wants
-
to do something different, yeah, he's gotta move you in
-
a different place of Some of you are so used
-
to having a routine that at six o'clock in the morning,
-
me and God get together and we pray at that time.
-
But honey, I'm gonna tell you something. You can't put
-
God in your orderly arrangement because God in according to
-
your orderly arrangement. He's got his own order and it's
-
the order of the spirit. And when you wants to
-
move he don't care what time it is. Your don't care.
-
I's three o'clock, four o'clock rock, five o'clock, six o'clock,
-
seven o'clock rock. He don't care what time it is.
-
I get spirit when I get up and have some worship.
-
I'm sorry, he don't get your behind up at two
-
or three o'clock in the morning. He's gonna want to
-
have a worship experience, because the only way that God
-
can have a worship experience, it's through your temple. Your
-
temple has to get up God, right, who an't making
-
me worse? Right now? God making me worse? We don't
-
try to record two times? And he was like, no,
-
that ain't happening. As soon as we will to the
-
liber room. See, as soon as we did something else,
-
as soon as I went against my conflict of interests,
-
I came in the liber room. Guess what now he's flowing.
-
I guess We got the praise and the worship up
-
in there, and then we had to come in here
-
and get the word. Romans chapter eight, verse seven. I'm
-
gonna go to your problem Romans eight seven. Let's find
-
out what your issue is. I'm gonna tell you what
-
it is. As long as you have a flesh man, Yes,
-
and we're gonna talk about that. I ain't talking about
-
your skin. That's not the flesh. I had to go
-
over s Guad to give a Bible Romans, chapter eight,
-
verse seven. We'll start at verse verse five. I'm gonna
-
minister something y'all all want to hear, because that's what
-
prophets do. They minternce this stuff you only want to hear.
-
I don't. I mean this this stuff you don't want
-
to hear. And that's why we're sitting here. But three
-
people in the living room, y'all sitting up here hearing
-
these lion prophets talk about last night I heard the
-
one say, Oh God, I don't know what has happened
-
to these prophetic voices. The Lord is speaking to me
-
that there's going to be an increase in UFOs. Have
-
y'all lost your mind? How does the word of God
-
agree with man's word? How does the word of God
-
agree with man's word? Man talks about UFOs? Well, I mean,
-
you do got some foreigners of the spirit. I mean,
-
maybe that's the UFOs you're talking about people that have
-
been come on the church scene. But God is spirit.
-
Maybe that's a foreign UFOs to you, and they say
-
unidentified object. Maybe there are some UFOs coming, just not
-
the UFOs you're talking about. I think he's going to
-
be sending a UFO of his spirit. Maybe you won't
-
be able to identify with it, okay, Romans eight, verse five.
-
For they that are after the flesh do mind the
-
things of the flesh. But they that are after the
-
spirit the things of the spirit. Now that's straight into
-
the point. There is no neutral there is no middle ground,
-
there is no compromise. Those that mind the things of
-
the spirit want to do the things of the spirit.
-
They don't want to entertain things of the flesh. Right,
-
So why are we sitting up here entertaining things of
-
the flesh and saying we're spiritual? Oh God, because you've
-
got a conflict of interest. For they that are after
-
the things of the flesh to mind the things of
-
the flesh, But they that are after the spirit the
-
things of the spirit. Look at this, For the be
-
carnally minded is death, But to be spiritually minded is
-
life and peace. Yes, because the carnal mind is enmity
-
against God, for it is not subject to the law
-
of Looking at that right there, it doesn't want to
-
be obedient true to the law of God. Neither indeed
-
can be Look at that right there. Let me go
-
to work because I can see it's gonna be late.
-
And I know some of you have conflicting schedules in
-
the morning that some of you have to go to
-
church tomorrow. That's another one of your conflicts of interest. Well,
-
I gotta get up tomorrow. I know you record this
-
at eight thirty four. I really wanted to listen to it,
-
but I gotta go to church tomorrow. Well what if
-
God said no, The Lord wouldn't tell me not to
-
go to his house. The Lord wouldn't tell me to
-
stay home from the father's house. Honey, that's not the
-
father's house, right, The building isn't the father's house. You
-
are the father's house, and he dwells and you and
-
sometimes the people in church, the only thing close to
-
the glory they're gonna get is when you walk in
-
the house. Oh, I know that, y'all know, y'all into
-
some dead churches. Probably the church you're going to tomorrow
-
is half dead. And the only reason why the praise
-
and worship team as halfway sound is when you walk
-
in the door with the glory. Okay, now let's define
-
the flesh for a minute. I'm not talking about the
-
body with skin on it. I think we have to
-
go to another level with that. I'm not talking about
-
your skin. Those that are after the flesh, meaning the
-
things that they chase, actor that are fleshly, the desires
-
that fulfill the enjoyment of the flesh. That's some of
-
your interests. The human experience. Oh, I know I'm talking
-
to somebody. I hope somebody's listening. It's consistent. It's constant
-
to the point where you're chasing after it and only
-
it you have become entangled with it. Oh. I know
-
some of you can relate to that, because the minute
-
your boss says there's overtime, you jump right on it.
-
But when God says I need to spend time with
-
you and give me some overtime in the room of prayer,
-
some of you say, well, I got this bill, I
-
gotta pay you. See conflict of interest, and some are
-
enslaved to it. The flesh of the Greek means sarsix
-
flesh as strict of the skin, the body as opposed
-
to the soul or spirit, or as the symbol of
-
what is external or as the means of kindred or
-
human nature, human being. So the flesh is not your skin.
-
It's not your scab that you got when you fell
-
off the bike. It's not your flesh. It is what's
-
behind the face. It's what's it's what's behind your motives,
-
your thoughts. Who you are when you take that coat off?
-
Oh you, who are you really? After you come from church?
-
Do you put on righteousness? Whereas some people say clean,
-
but I said, those that say they clean, nay uncleanness,
-
They are after the flesh. This is consistently in the mind,
-
that it's constantly chasing things only in this present cosmos.
-
Constantly the pattern of your thinking is constantly on pleasing
-
your flesh that you haven't mastered the purpose of getting
-
behind the flesh and allowing your spirit to get in
-
front of it. What does that mean when your flesh
-
is dead, when your interests are dead, it projects the spirit.
-
But there are things in this life that still holds
-
you as a hostage to serve, things that have no
-
eternal value. You can read Second Corinthians five one on
-
your time. But see, we know what takes our time.
-
We know what takes our interests. Our interests must now
-
become the interests of God. For we know that if
-
our earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved, we have
-
a building of God, a house not made with hands. See,
-
the flesh is only the structure that was created from cosmos.
-
Cosmos is classified as the orderly arrangement. So what is
-
he talking about with orderly arrangement? Because I say it
-
a lot. The orderly arrangement is the adorning world. Now,
-
I want wants you to be very clear, everyone's orderly
-
arrangement is not the same. The orderly arrangement is the
-
systematical structured organization of items, data, people that follow a
-
sequential or logic. Things that are arranged in a logical
-
or regular pattern, making them easy to understand. I want
-
you to go to first down two fifteen, First down
-
two fifteen. Mm hm, yes what first down two fifteen.
-
So again, the orderly arrangement the systematical structured organization of items, data, people,
-
sequential logic, and that logic is depend upon each individual.
-
Your logic is not Cheral's logic, Apro's logic is not
-
Sheral's logic. In my logic an't your logic we are
-
all organized structures of an organization through the cosmos, through
-
the world. The world has its own orderly arrangement. Look
-
at how the cities are built. Look at how buildings
-
are structured. They're organized from the blueprint all the way
-
up to the physicality of what it is. They are
-
in order. Churches have organizations that are in order, where
-
they try to put Jesus in order. But see, Jesus
-
was never intended to be in order order, not in
-
order in order. So first John two fifteen, let me
-
go there, Lord, if my Bible could just pull up,
-
it'd be nice, be nice, if they could just pull up.
-
Let me see. Okay, I guess I'll have to go
-
back the pages first John two fifteen. They beat me
-
to it, all Right, here we go. I'm trying to
-
get my notes back. It says love not the world,
-
neither the things that are in the world. What is
-
he saying, do not love the orderly arrangement or the
-
things that are in the orderly arrangement? Now I want
-
to be very clear, there is nothing wrong with loving
-
the things associated with your world. Now, notice I said
-
your world. I'm not talking about the globe. The globe
-
is just the manifestation of God showing you that there
-
are things that are of the unseen, that the things
-
of the of the scene have come from the realms
-
of the unseen. That's what the globe's for. But the
-
world he's talking about is the world in your mind.
-
Your mind is a world in itself, yes, and that
-
is the thing that needs to be renewed, And that
-
is the thing that needs to be redeemed. Is your
-
thought process, because your thoughts are wired to the things
-
of this world. And it's not the globe, it's the influences.
-
It is the culture. Like Michael Jackson said, I don't
-
care if you're black or white. I'm sorry. That's a
-
part of the world. That's world thinking, worldview, your finances,
-
the things that you think about your finances, your children,
-
the things you think about your children, the things you
-
talk to your children. Don't overspend it the grocery store
-
because you're gonna lose all the money in your account.
-
All that is part of the world world thinking. But
-
God his word is saying, don't fall in love with
-
it to the point where it consumes you into the world.
-
That's why the Bible says, what profit a man if
-
he gains the whole world, if you gain every bit
-
of what you're interested in, if you're successful in every
-
area of your own interests, what profit is it if
-
you gain the whole world. He's not just talking about
-
the globe. He's talking about your thinking. And you're thinking
-
prospers in every area that stepped in based upon the world.
-
What is the point of profiting everything in your mind?
-
But you're losing the very soul essence of who you
-
are while you're chasing after these things. You're losing your
-
soul in them. You don't know how many people are
-
sitting to me telling me I'm gonna get two jobs.
-
So just like your son said on Thanksgiving, I'm working
-
on a second job now. He works third shift from
-
ten to seven. And he said he's gonna work from
-
seven in the morning all the way up until the afternoon.
-
I said, when do you get any rest? Well, I
-
can get about one hour of rest and I'm good.
-
What profit is it that you're working all of these hours.
-
I'm gonna tell you something. See, God will let you
-
work yourself to death. I mean, he's gonna win either way.
-
He says, Well, since you want to work fifty and
-
sixty hours doing uber. I guess I can let you
-
work for death because either way you're still gonna come
-
to me dead. You're still gonna come to me dead.
-
I don't care. I gotta get you one way or another.
-
So you're not winning with God when you abstain from
-
his presence because you're pissed off at him. Let's see
-
how long you can last at all. You end up
-
beating yourself back Listen, it's just like a rubber man.
-
You stretch it far enough about it's gonna come back on.
-
So you're not winning. But what profit a man if
-
he gave the whole world, would lose his soul. See,
-
you lost it in those things. You lost it in
-
your interest, your conflict of interest. When you put your
-
schedule above God's, you lost yourself in it. That's why
-
something when we go back to God, we don't know
-
who you are. It says there is nothing wrong with
-
loving the things associated with your world. Everybody's world is
-
different pertaining to its own individual arrangement. However, when God
-
is calling his orderly arrangement in order with the world
-
he saved you, many of us find ourselves trying to
-
keep in order with our scheduled arrangements, instead of God
-
rearranging us into his ordained arrangement. Come on, now, if
-
I didn't say this a thousand times, God was not
-
ordained to be in order. Now. I know the Bible
-
says God is not the author of confusion, but of
-
course that's in context to the church. But the order
-
that I'm talking about is he was not ordained to
-
be a part of the orderly arrangement. Because I'm gonna
-
tell you right now, Cairo's time does not work with crotons.
-
Don't know. I'm sorry. When you learn to walk in faith, honey,
-
you're gonna be walking and think you're walking and don't
-
know why you're walking, you're gonna be so out of order.
-
But God said you're gonna be in order. But see,
-
his order is not ordained by the calendar on a clock.
-
His ordained moment is not based upon Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
-
I'm sorry you're gonna miss it down that way. But honey,
-
I hate to tell you. Sometimes on my Monday morning,
-
I was supposed to be working, and then I found
-
myself sitting at home. Okay, he just gave me I
-
was totally He just put me totally out of order. No,
-
he didn't put you out of order. He puts you
-
in his order. Until you realize when you start to
-
go into his order, he don't care what time it is.
-
Time is suspended in his order. Lord, Lord, your Lord,
-
your father. This is where many of us are having
-
the conflict of interest, where it takes place when God
-
is trying to arrange time for us. We think that
-
timing of the arrangement conflicts outside of the orderly ordained
-
that God has set up for us. Go back to
-
Romans eight five. For they that are after the flesh
-
do mind the things of the flesh, But they that
-
are after the spirit the things of the spirit. You're
-
after your flesh, and your thinking is focused on fulfilling
-
the things that are processed and keep the flesh organized.
-
But none of these things are giving you any peace
-
if you think about it. Yeah, your flesh keeps you
-
in order with the orderly arrangement of this cosmos, but
-
you don't have any peace. Go ahead now, yep, because
-
when you mind the things of the flesh, it will
-
always keep us in a pattern of consistent conflict outside
-
things that are eternal. Guess what peace is eternal only
-
when you learn to suspend the mind outside of the
-
orderly arrangement and realign it with things that are unorganized.
-
What do you mean Wait a minute, Okay, you lost
-
me there. You talked about unorganized. What do you mean
-
by that? What I mean by unorganized, I'm talking about
-
the orderly arrangement of God. God's orderly arrangement is not
-
organized with the arrangement of this cosmic. To you, it's
-
gonna be unorganized. They hate to tell you this. Some
-
of you have had unorganized faith experiences. Oh like, oh, okay,
-
all right, so I lost something down. So you mean
-
to tell me when God said go down the street okay,
-
and you were trying to go on the freeway to
-
get to your job, that that was organized. No, it
-
worked outside of your timing. Because you have something called sequence,
-
you have something called routine, you have something called Well,
-
I know that my navigation system is telling me to
-
go on exit thirty four, so I'm gonna follow it.
-
But God says, don't get on the highway. Oh y'all know,
-
y'all have to flip. There's a conflict of interest right there.
-
What are you talking about I take this route every
-
single day, and I know the traffic's not going to
-
be there until about six o'clock in the morning, and
-
I'm gonna take the highway. Let me tell you something,
-
true story, true story. Now I'll tell you a true
-
story because I didn't want to listen. I had to
-
be at the children's school to pick them up the
-
day before Thanksgiving. It was a Tuesday, and I said, God,
-
I gotta get there. I gotta get there before was
-
it three twenty? I gotta get there before three twenty.
-
Now I heard in my spirit, now this is out
-
of order. Take the HV lane and you'll get there
-
are but see me being religious like some of you,
-
I had a conflict of interest with God and said
-
that is totally I'm not gonna go out of order
-
because I said, I don't want to know. This happened
-
on Thanksgiving. I'm sorry I had to be there by
-
one twenty. I said that that's gonna be a conflict
-
of interest because I can't use the HV lane because
-
I've gotta I've gotta. If you use the HV lane,
-
you'll get there quicker. I said, you ain't hearing me,
-
because you know you gotta have another person in there.
-
But see, he didn't care about order at that time. Now,
-
I wonder what he could have told you in your
-
spirit had you went that way. See, it's not about
-
the direction, it's not about the orderly arrangement at that time.
-
I'm trying to show you something that if you listen
-
to me right, I will get you there past or
-
before time says that you have an appointed time. See,
-
if you listen to me, I know that the clock
-
says one thirty. I know that your deadline is one thirty.
-
But if you go a route that you never been before,
-
somebody better catch it. If you go a route that
-
you've never been to before you get there before the deadline,
-
somebody just missed it. You better catch it, because somebody
-
who are not listening to me right now, God is
-
about to take some of y'all that are listening to
-
me right now. You're gonna be taken into different rocks
-
that you did not plan. But guess what it's going
-
to be God, And you're gonna save time. When you
-
would have went the original way that you had already planned.
-
Somebody got to catch it. That was for free. You
-
better catch it. Thank you. Faith is unorganized, Avery Hamn's
-
working in this farm to his rotine. I'm pretty sure.
-
And God says, leave everything behind, come to a lane,
-
you know, not of Oh that's organized. Oh like you
-
planning this for a couple of days. Now, I'm sorry,
-
but faith is random. Yes, God true story just found
-
out today. If somebody's listening, too bad. Now, I had
-
planned to go to Virginia. I said, I'm gonna get
-
me a little vacation. Sit you know, sit in the hotel,
-
actually sleep in a bed. And I'm not gonna be bothered.
-
I'm not I'm gonna plan this to the team. We're
-
gonna stay in a hotel. We'll stay at our favorite hotel.
-
Now you see all the planning I'm doing, and all
-
my interests and how I'm gonna go see the baby,
-
and how I'm gonna go see this person. You see
-
how your interests are. And I'm sitting in the car
-
and I feel in my gun, past my gut, because
-
I got a lot of guts, but I feel in
-
my spirit. I said, no, I don't feel like going south.
-
I don't think we're going there. I think we're going
-
somewhere else. Now in the midst of everything that could
-
try to distract me, everything that could pull me in
-
that direction, everything that was connected to the orderly arrangement
-
of this world that would try to bring me in
-
that direction. I forfeited that, and I heard the voice
-
say go north in my spirit. But I said, I
-
am about to tell nor and I was gonna call
-
my sister and say, listen, we're gonna have to check.
-
But something didn't come out of my mouth to say anything.
-
So when I spoke to her today, when I spoke
-
to April today, she had a spiritual i'll say a
-
spiritual Encountermit last year, her conflict of interest in her
-
bedroom was disrupted. See somebody, you ain't getting it, but
-
you're gonna get it in a minute. Her conflict of
-
interest was interrupted. Yes, where at the time she was
-
supposed to be sleeping, she was awoken. See some of
-
you missing it. You're gonna catch it. She went in
-
the bedroom and God began to speak. You know, it's funny.
-
God don't speak in your schedule, but it speaks when
-
it's not your schedule, right, And he said to her,
-
Man of God, I know have you been seeking God
-
for direct I said, yes, I have been, but she
-
didn't hear the conversation that me and God had. I
-
heard the Lord say go north, and Honey, I said, God,
-
I know that was in my spirit. That's what I'm
-
talking about. See, sometimes God wants to speak out of
-
order to get you in order. Faith is not organized,
-
it is unorganized arrangements. God consistently wants us unorganized so
-
that he can arrange us according to his divine purpose.
-
He wants to wreck your schedules because as long as
-
you stay a part of that schedule, as long as
-
you keep with your routines, as long as you keep
-
with your schedules, you will not possess the orderly ordained
-
moment that God wants you to come into. Because when
-
your life is no longer your own, you're not let
-
by the time clock of this world. Even though you
-
are in this cosmos, even though you are around different
-
cosmoses and different mindsets, you are no longer attributed to
-
the time in which is presented to you based upon
-
the world that you're entertaining. Yes, and when I talk
-
about world, I'm talking about people. Because every person has
-
their own time period, every person operates in their own clock.
-
I'm sorry. Even though we're sitting in a room and
-
it is now nine oh two, even though we are
-
unified together under time, when we disperse from this place
-
of unity, everybody's operating in their own time. Again, there's
-
nothing wrong with going to places oh with people. However,
-
when you mind the things of the flesh, when you
-
entertain people, you must realize that you come out of
-
time of eternity or eternal things things of faith, and
-
step out of that timing to entertain something or someone
-
else that is orderly. What do you mean when you
-
come out of the presence of being in prayer? Yes, yes, yes,
-
I don't know if you realize it, But you don't
-
be in chronos time when it's time in the prayer. Honey,
-
when I was caught up just a few minutes ago,
-
I didn't care for it was eight o'clock. At nine o'clock,
-
I knew I was caught up with Jesus. I know
-
I went somewhere, yes, sir, and Honey, I liked it
-
and didn't want to come back. Yes, but I was
-
caught up in prayer so long that by the time
-
I looked at the clock it was quarter to eight.
-
We started in that room at six forty five. Yeah, yes,
-
we did. No longer did I care about chronological time, yes,
-
m yeah yeah yeah. But see now that I'm in
-
that realm, now that I'm in that constant place, now
-
that it's taken over my mind. Now everything that I do,
-
every person that I entertain, is about purpose. Yes, look,
-
got me. Let me get something that God. Let me
-
get something that God gave me today if I can
-
pull it up. Mm hmm. He said, it only becomes
-
purposeful when it's eternal. What is arranged is ordained or
-
what is unarranged is ordained. Well, what do you mean
-
by that? What you didn't plan outside of orderly arrangement
-
of scheduling is an ordained moment? Yes, I'm prophesying up
-
in here, ask God. I want you to listen. There
-
are some things you did not plan. There are some
-
things I didn't plan. Like, for instance, he said, start
-
a cleaning business. That ain't nothing I planned. And I said, God,
-
you got to be out of your mind. Now I'm
-
in a situation here that's kind of desperate, and you
-
want me to plan a cleaning business. I didn't plan that.
-
This is what faith led me to. And so what
-
do you think I did. I got the uniforms because
-
I saw myself in a uniform, and I got my cards,
-
and but God said, don't open any of it. I'm
-
gonna tell you when. See now you're not operating on
-
your telegram. But I said, well, Lord, you had me
-
to the uniform, you had me get the cards, You
-
had me do all that. He said, yep, for preparation. Yeah,
-
mm hmm. Conflict of interest. See, it's not about you.
-
You gave up your life a long time ago. But see,
-
sometimes God wants us to be sensitive to his timing because,
-
as I said before, when you entertain things out of
-
coming out of that realm, once you entertain an individual,
-
you are now stepping into a different time period, especially
-
if they're of the orderly arrangement. Okay, and that's why
-
some of you listening to me right now, I know
-
you're gonna relate to me. There are just some people
-
you just don't want to waste your time with, right, Lord, Lord,
-
Lord Jesus, Right, because instead of them bringing appreciation to
-
your spirit or interest to your spirit, they're causing you
-
to become deficit. Lord. And this is why God said
-
stay home yet, see you knew the deficit person that
-
was gonna come and take all your time. He said,
-
don't you pick up that phone. See God be trying
-
to tell you, He said, I'm trying to keep you
-
in this realm. But haven't you keep it entertaining these deficits,
-
these deficits, these people that got deficits. You keep it
-
entertaining these things in these programs that are supping from
-
stopping from your spirit, but not bringing you into a
-
place of alignment when God's orderly arranged. Watch this eleven
-
John eleven one. I'm gonna take you there. Mm hmm.
-
I'm gonna take you to your conflict, your conflict of
-
the schedule, John, Chapter eleven, Verse one. Now, remember we
-
talking about not loving the world. That's a conflict of interest.
-
When you love things more than God, chase after it.
-
Because when you love something, you're going to commit to it.
-
And I can tell something that people you're willing to
-
throw people under the basket because of that female or
-
that person that you think is in love with you.
-
Hope somebody's listening. When you love something, you commit to it.
-
Your soul will commit to it. That's right, whether it
-
be God, whether it be a persis, and you're not
-
going to commit to your half heart to it, especially
-
when you're getting a return. Tell it. Verse one. Now
-
a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
-
town of Mary and her sister Martha. And it was
-
that Mary which appointed the lord with anointment or ointment
-
and wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother lathers
-
was sick. Now watch this. Therefore his sisters said on him, saying, Lord,
-
behold him, who thou lovest is sick. And when Jesus
-
heard that, he said, this sickness is not unto death,
-
but for the glory of God, that the Son of
-
God might be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha and
-
her sister LAZARREV. Now I'm gonna read the next verse.
-
And because Jesus loved him, because Jesus loved his mother,
-
because Jesus loved his friend, because Jesus loved the interests
-
of his heart. Art he ran to Lazareth, he run
-
the rather room. That's not what I thought. That's what
-
the scipts said. What some of you are The very
-
first thing when somebody is sick, the first time that
-
somebody is getting beaten up by their boyfriend the first
-
time that somebody says, Mama, I need you to help me.
-
You're running, come on, talk about it. But Jesus didn't run,
-
it says he delayed today's now wait just to cot
-
and pick now, hold on a minute, now, But that's
-
the person he loved. But see, I musta say something
-
to some of the people in the room and the
-
people listening on podcasts. Come on here. Just because you
-
love sid don't mean I have to commit to it.
-
Because Jesus was in love with something greater than the
-
flesh laws in the interests of his heart, he had purpose.
-
Now he could have got of his orderly arrangement, out
-
of the father's orderly arrange. God say, pray and don't
-
go nowhere. Now you could have went somewhere. But I
-
could have went back to sleep. I have a choice.
-
But something in your spirit said, uh huh, I gotta
-
get in there. Here what God is saying, I don't
-
care if depression is trying to take me. I'm about
-
to take it up and get a prayer my spirit
-
because I know and experience what God can do in
-
the midst of me having a conflict. Let me tell
-
you something, this conscience, this conflict is only but something
-
that's trying to pose me from getting to the place
-
of the or the arrangement in God that I need
-
to be. And I'm not going to allow anything to
-
conflict with me being in order with my God. And
-
that's why I'm tearrying for two days according to God,
-
because I'm gonna wait till that. But they say death
-
is impossible to be moved because I don't move in
-
that time frame. I operate in a different glory. It's
-
a glory of the spirits. And I don't move on
-
a time frame which you were. And I don't move
-
when Mary say come and get your brother. But I
-
go beyond the time, beyond the past time because faith
-
does not look at the time frame. Faith looks at
-
the impossibilities and moves in that time. All right, now,
-
come on Spotify. Heart radio has been a pleasure. I
-
had to cut you off right there. Podcasts, I had
-
to cut you off right there. It was getting a
-
little hot in the room and I and I felt
-
like God said it's time to turn it off. Some
-
of you better listen good Jesus, and you better listen
-
real good. There are things in this country about to
-
heat up, and you're gonna need the direction of God
-
in your finances. You're gonna need direction about where to move,
-
when to move. Some of you gonna need direction about
-
where your destiny is. Head and honey, like God said
-
to be. Some of you are so used to hearing
-
a voice telling you what you gotta do. Well, the
-
voice is getting ready to be silent because God wants
-
you to trust in him. He wants you to be
-
his head. He wants you to be his buckler. He
-
wants you to come to him when he HiT's a
-
time of trouble. He don't want you going to the pastor.
-
I don't want you to going to the prophet. He
-
wants you to go to the prophet. That's right the
-
podcast and all those that listen to us. This is
-
part one of Pardon me I had a conflict of interest.
-
We'll continue this later on as God permits. The next
-
teaching I'll be doing, Lord willing, it will be on
-
the invisible Body. We're gonna talk about the invisible body,
-
the spirit body, the body that's not seen by religion,
-
the body that God is raising up in this hour.
-
They are not staying by religion or organization, But are
-
gonna come from outside the orderly arrangement of church as usual.
-
And God is about to do a spiritual move, and
-
it's gonna be a church without walls, a network of
-
a spiritual body that's connected without walls. Old stay tuned
-
for it, but you'll have to wait. But until I
-
see you again or hear from you again, bring up
-
a blessed rest your evening, and God bless
