2nd Corinthians chapter 6 Let us pray.
0:08
Our Father who is in heaven, holy is your name, Your Kingdom
0:20
come and your will be done here on this earth just as it is
0:27
there in heaven. God, we exalt your holy name.
0:32
God, your name is set apart and far greater than any other name.
0:37
Jesus Christ is the name above all names.
0:41
And I pray in the name of Jesus today, God, that your Kingdom
0:45
and your will will be wrought in and through US.
0:48
God, I pray that we'll be your hands and feet to this lost,
0:52
wicked, and perverse generation. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
0:56
that you will help us to snatch those who are perishing out of
1:00
the fires of hell in condemnation.
1:02
God, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will give us a
1:05
supernatural zeal today. Father, let it consume us.
1:09
Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will help us.
1:12
Father, be filled with the Holy Ghost.
1:14
Help us to go out into the harvest, God, I pray that will
1:19
not be found sitting on our blessed assurance.
1:21
Father, I pray that we'll be found going out and doing
1:25
exactly what you have told us to do in the revealed will of God,
1:29
to go and to preach, Lord, and to go out into all nations,
1:34
Judea and Samaria, God and Jerusalem.
1:37
Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus for the peace of
1:40
Jerusalem. Father, I pray for the Jews.
1:43
God, I pray that you will protect them supernaturally.
1:46
Father, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will lead us all
1:50
home to where you are, Father. But in the meantime, Lord, let
1:54
us wait. Well, Lord, let us be found with
1:57
our hand to the plow. Let us be found locked eyes with
2:00
you. Let us be found doing exactly
2:02
what it is that you've called us to do in the arenas and in the
2:05
callings and in the circles of influence that you have placed
2:09
us in. Father, let us be your
2:12
mouthpiece. God, I pray that we'll speak
2:15
your eternal words to those who desperately need to hear the
2:19
truth, Father, for the Word of God is the only truth, truth,
2:23
the only good news that's in the entire world.
2:26
So God, we proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, who is the way,
2:30
the truth and the life, and there is no one who can come
2:33
unto you, Father, God, except through him.
2:35
So Lord, that is what we propagate, that is what we push,
2:40
or that is our determination today is to push the name of
2:50
Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
2:52
Lord, I pray that you'll fuel us for the journey.
2:57
God, I pray for your daily bread.
2:59
Today. God, give us fresh bread out of
3:01
the oven. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
3:04
that you will help us to see these words jump off the page.
3:08
Lord, I pray that they'll come alive, God, and quicken in us,
3:13
in the inner man. Father, I pray that deep calls
3:16
to deep today. Lord, I pray that we'll make a
3:20
connection today between what is written on the page and what is
3:24
written on our hearts and on our minds.
3:26
And conscience is God and what drives and motivates us today.
3:31
Father, I pray that it'll be your daily bread.
3:35
God, thank you for forgiving us for all of our sins.
3:38
Lord, thank you under the blood of Christ, God, that we are
3:42
forgiven for every sin that we have ever committed, our
3:45
committing, or will ever commit. God and I thank you, Lord, and
3:49
help us to extend that forgiveness out to those who
3:52
have wronged us. God 70 * 7 Lord, we forgive our
3:56
brother. Thank you, Jesus, for all the
3:59
things that you've done for us. Lord, I pray that you'll keep us
4:03
from the enemy, keep us from the accuser of the brethren.
4:06
God did not let us fall into deception, did not let us fall
4:11
into temptation. God, I pray in the name of
4:13
Jesus, Lord, that the fruits of the Spirit God will become
4:18
evident in our lives. Lord, let us have love and joy.
4:24
God, let us have peace and patience, Father, and goodness,
4:30
gentleness, faithfulness, kindness, God and self-control.
4:35
Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus, Lord, that you'll help us
4:38
exude all these attributes, Exude all this fruit, God, and
4:43
let it be sweet and let it go out and nourish those that are
4:47
perishing. God, I pray that as we walk in
4:50
the room that we are the peacemakers and we are more than
4:53
conquerors, God, and you go with us, Lord.
4:55
And so where we are, you are God.
4:58
And I pray that the Holy Spirit shines bright today in the
5:01
darkest places. Lord, for yours it's the
5:10
Kingdom. Yahweh everlasting, Yours is the
5:15
power. Yeshua ha Messiah, yours is the
5:19
glory. Holy Spirit, teach us.
5:23
Holy Spirit, guide us. Holy Spirit, convict us.
5:28
I decrease as you increase. Hide me.
5:31
Hide my words and my thoughts. And Holy Spirit, you speak and
5:35
you teach. Today we are your vessels
5:40
emptied out of this world to be filled with your presence, God
5:44
Almighty. It's in Jesus Christ, holy
5:48
worthy, lovely name that I pray, Amen.
5:55
Let's start in verse one. We then, as workers, together
6:03
with him, beg you also that you receive not the grace of God in
6:11
vain. So this grace of God is a free
6:15
gift, friends. It is what He has given to us.
6:21
When we come to Him honestly, when we come to Him earnestly,
6:24
when we come to Him and admit that we are sinners in desperate
6:29
need of a Savior, He imputes to us the righteousness of Christ.
6:34
And we have grace and grace that abounds, friends.
6:39
And we can know that we know that we know that we know that
6:42
we are forgiven. And when we stand before an
6:45
almighty God, He will only see us as holy because He is holy,
6:50
because we are covered in the holy blood of Jesus Christ.
6:54
And that is the only way that we're going to get there,
6:56
friends. And a lot of people are turned
6:58
around on this point and they want to try to behave their way
7:01
into heaven and they want to try to measure where people stand
7:05
with God based on the external things that are being done,
7:09
Friends. But it is not for us to try and
7:11
gauge where somebody stands with God.
7:14
There are a lot of people who are taking the grace of God in
7:17
vain. They have accepted it, but they
7:21
are abusing it, friends, and that is what is referenced here.
7:26
We need not take the grace of God in vain.
7:30
We need to make sure that the gravity of it sets in.
7:35
This horror of the eternal damnation and punishment that we
7:41
have escaped sets in and it propels us into the darkest
7:46
places to try to persuade those with all of our heart to put
7:52
their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ so that they do not have
7:55
to go there, friends, and that is what is referenced here.
7:59
We need to understand what we have been rescued from, and we
8:03
will not take the grace of God in vain.
8:06
We will be thankful. We'll have gratitude.
8:09
We will make sure that we love well even in the face of
8:12
persecution and adversity. Whenever our very liberties are
8:17
being stripped from us. We count it all as joy for this
8:21
small amount of affliction, this light affliction, as Paul had
8:25
called it in previous chapters. We need to understand, friends,
8:29
that the grace of God is supernatural and love covers a
8:38
multitude of sins. And we need to understand that
8:42
it is all under the blood of Jesus Christ.
8:45
All of the sins that we've ever committed, are committing, or
8:48
will commit are under the blood of Jesus Christ.
8:51
And when we have that saving knowledge, we can live lives
8:57
that show him to the world. They reveal the love of Christ
9:04
to the world through our lives. And so we cannot let the enemy
9:10
make a mess out of our testimony and out of our lives, so that we
9:14
are no earthly good and useful for the ministry, because our
9:19
lives look no different than the rest of the world.
9:22
Far be it from us to abuse grace so that the grace of God can
9:26
abound. God forbid.
9:28
Verse 2 For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted,
9:35
and in the day of salvation have I helped you?
9:38
Behold, now is the accepted time.
9:41
Behold, now is the day of salvation.
9:44
Today is the day of salvation. Friends, do not put it off.
9:48
And you need to understand that the devil cannot snatch you out
9:53
of God's hands. But you also need to understand
9:57
there is a fresh renewal, friends, a fresh submission,
10:02
friends. There is a fresh devotion,
10:06
friends, that is followed by a fresh filling of the Holy Ghost.
10:11
If you are in a season of silence, if you are in a season
10:15
of sifting, yield to God Almighty today, recommit your
10:20
life unto Him. Turn to a loving Savior and
10:24
recommit and re devote your life unto Him today, friends, for
10:30
today is the day of salvation. If you woke up today, His
10:33
mercies are new. Every day and every single day
10:37
we come to the foot of the cross and we lay down all of our
10:41
baggage, all of our woes, all of our sins, all of our cares, all
10:45
of the things of this world, and we pick up His righteousness and
10:50
His grace and His love and His mercy, and we receive our
10:54
marching orders for this day. Acknowledge Him in the mornings
10:59
and He will direct your step for the rest of the day.
11:02
Do not wait till the end of the day to start getting into the
11:05
Word or start shifting your mindset towards Him.
11:10
We do not need to go out into the world without being
11:13
sharpened and without being filled with the Holy Ghost.
11:17
Friends, today is the day of salvation.
11:21
It's not a question of have you ever.
11:26
The question is, are you now? Are you now following after God?
11:34
It's not a question of can you tell me when you put your faith
11:37
in the Lord Jesus Christ? The question is, are you now
11:42
indwelled with the Holy Spirit? Are you now consecrated?
11:46
Have you now kicked out every demonic influence and oppression
11:52
out of your lives? All of the world craftiness
11:55
friends, get rid of it all Malice and deceit, backbiting
11:59
and lying, all thievery friends get rid of it and be filled with
12:04
the Holy Ghost today. Three if so be that being
12:10
clothed, we 3 of chapter 6 giving no offense in anything
12:19
that the ministry be not blamed. So you understand that this
12:24
offense is one of the greatest ways that the enemy gets us when
12:31
we have an offendable spirit. Every little bump in the road we
12:36
start turning back into our carnal minds, we start turning
12:40
back to our natural responses. This offense, friends, is
12:45
whenever Jesus leaves you in the prison and whenever we know that
12:50
He can release us, but He doesn't when we're offended by
12:53
Him and we fall away. This is where the apostate
12:56
church comes in, friends. This is where the great falling
13:00
away comes in, is because of the offense that God could, but He
13:04
didn't. And we need to go ahead and
13:07
count the cost before we ever come to Him earnestly and
13:11
honestly and openly. We need to count the cost and
13:14
understand that God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts
13:20
are not our thoughts. They are much higher and much
13:23
greater, and they serve a greater purpose when we're left
13:26
in the prison. Friends, we need to understand
13:29
that death is on the table every day.
13:32
You need to understand that this is a battleground and not a
13:35
playground. Friends, do not let the offense
13:43
cause the ministry to be blamed. This is where when our bank
13:49
accounts don't measure up and we go into bribery and we go into
13:57
laundering, and this is where we do not see our needs being met
14:04
by the Lord. So we step out into our own
14:07
thinking and our own understandings.
14:11
And this is where the ministry gets blamed when we're not
14:14
satisfied with the wife of our youth and we step out friends,
14:19
because we think that God is withholding his best from us.
14:23
This is where the ministry gets blamed, friends, for but in all
14:31
things of proving ourselves as the ministers of God in much
14:35
patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses.
14:41
So here Paul's going to give a little resume and he's going to
14:44
tell you of all the things that he's been doing in his worldly
14:49
travels all over the known world, taking the gospel of the
14:52
Lord Jesus Christ to all of these Gentile nations.
14:56
And he's going to tell you that he was a minister of God and
15:01
approved of God. He did not need man's approval.
15:05
He needed God's approval. And it's the same for us today.
15:08
We do not seek the approval of man.
15:10
Friends, let fear of man go. We do everything unto the Lord.
15:16
The Lord sees, and what we do in secret, He will openly reward.
15:21
Friends, we have to have much patience in the afflictions.
15:27
We cannot just get offended and turn back to all of our own
15:31
ways. We have to persevere in the
15:35
affliction. We have to persevere with the
15:37
lack of our necessities. Friends, we have to persevere in
15:42
the face of all the distressing moments in our lives.
15:47
Five in stripes, in imprisonment, in tumults, in
15:53
laborers, in watchings and fastings.
15:56
So you can see here that Paul was telling the Corinthians all
16:01
the things that he had to go through in order to found them
16:05
and to found that church. And you need to understand,
16:08
friends, that the capital C church is founded upon the rock,
16:14
and it is unmovable and unshakeable.
16:17
And there are many apostate churches, churches, and there
16:21
are many false teachers and false doctrines out there, but
16:23
that has nothing to do with the church capital C It is
16:28
unmovable, it is unshakable, and the gates of hell will not
16:32
prevail against it. And you need to understand that
16:35
it was founded in stripes. The church was founded in
16:40
imprisonments. The church was founded in
16:42
tumults and laborers and watchings and fastings.
16:46
And it cost Jesus Christ his very life, friends and all of
16:50
the martyrs along the way were the seed of the church and the
16:54
seed of the gospel that you and I are privileged to friends.
16:58
And all of the writings in the inspired writings of Paul and
17:03
Peter and James and all the writings here of John and of
17:08
Matthew, all the writings of Luke.
17:10
Friends, you can see here that we are the beneficiaries of such
17:16
a life that was laid down for Christ.
17:19
And they counted the cost before they ever went out into the
17:22
harvest. And you and I need to do the
17:24
same. Friends, God has much work to do
17:27
and you were born for such a time as this.
17:29
We cannot be found sitting on the sidelines.
17:32
Friends, we need to understand that we have to get into the
17:35
fight and charge the hill. Do not be found sitting on that
17:39
blessed assurance. Friends, yes, you're going to
17:41
bust heaven wide open. Praise the Lord for that.
17:44
You're marked by His mercy and love and His grace, and you're
17:48
covered in the blood of Christ. But there is far too much work
17:52
to do for us to be found in our pleasures and pleasantries and
17:57
on vacation. Friends, we need to make sure
18:00
that we are putting our hands to the plow, that we are going out
18:04
into the harvest, for the harvest is plenty, but the
18:08
workers are few, and that is you and that is me.
18:11
Friends, we are the hands and feet of Christ.
18:13
We are the body of Christ, and we need to be found scattering
18:17
the seed all over the world. Friends, and where it falls, we
18:21
need to make sure that we water it and watch how God gives the
18:24
increase. 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by
18:34
kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned.
18:40
So he's telling you how the Church was founded.
18:43
He's telling you how his ministry was marked with all
18:47
these afflictions that produced the pureness.
18:51
All of the afflictions pulled out the dross and the
18:55
impurities, and they refined Paul into the purity.
18:59
They refined him by the knowledge and by long
19:02
sufferings. This refinement came that
19:05
produced the kindness and produced the filling of the Holy
19:09
Ghost. It produced love that was
19:12
unwavering. Even whenever he was talked and
19:16
slighted, he was talked down towards.
19:19
His love abounded for this church and ours should do the
19:23
same for the capital C Church all over the world. 7 By the
19:27
word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of
19:31
righteousness on the right hand and on the left.
19:34
Think about it friends, You hold the word of truth in your hands.
19:37
We have the power of God living inside of us, friends.
19:42
We have the armor of righteousness.
19:44
We have the full armor of God that we must put on every day.
19:48
We have have to put it on in order to withstand all the fiery
19:52
darts of the enemy. And we have him as our rear
19:55
guard and our front guard. He's on the right, he's on the
19:58
left. He's all-encompassing us.
20:01
And he is fighting our battles for us, friends, And greater is
20:05
he who is living in you than he who is in the world.
20:09
Ate by honor and dishonor by evil report good report as
20:13
deceivers. And yet true.
20:15
So Paul is saying that he has gone through so many different
20:18
seasons in his life. He's been called the worst names
20:22
and he's been exalted into levels and states that he did
20:27
not receive. He has been struck down and he
20:31
has been honored. And you need to understand that
20:33
Paul saw the end from the beginning, and he had received
20:38
his marching orders from the Lord Jesus Christ and he had
20:42
counted the cost and he knew that he had to preach.
20:45
And he said, woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.
20:48
He was filled with the Holy Ghost and he was not worried
20:52
about what men thought about him.
20:54
He was more concerned with how God saw him. 9 as unknown and
21:02
yet well known as dying. And behold, we live as chastened
21:06
and not killed. Your blood bought and
21:09
bulletproof until you were not. God knows every single hair on
21:17
your head, and he knows every single breath you shall take.
21:20
And He knows every day that you're going to spend on this
21:25
earth, and until the Lord is ready to call you home, there is
21:30
nothing that can overtake you but that which is common to man.
21:36
And He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can
21:41
bear. And He always provides a way
21:44
out. And that's what you need to
21:45
understand is that God is our force field.
21:50
He's all around us and He is able to keep you from death,
21:56
He's able to keep you from imprisonment, He's able to keep
22:01
you from disease. But when those things come, and
22:05
they shall, but when they do, you need to understand that He
22:09
is with you. When you go through the waters,
22:12
you do not need to think that God is mad at you and He's
22:15
turned His back on you. And we do not need to go back to
22:18
all of our carnal, fleshy ways of thinking.
22:22
We need to understand that God is going to get much glory in
22:26
your sufferings. 10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing,
22:34
as poor, yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet
22:38
possessing all things. Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
22:45
who has and created all things, became poor so that we can
22:55
become rich. And where we become rich is not
22:59
in earthly possessions. Your life is much more than just
23:03
the amassment of material things.
23:07
We become rich in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
23:10
We become rich in the spiritual aspects of life.
23:14
We become rich by understanding the tapestry all around us and
23:18
what is actually happening in the spiritual realm all around
23:22
us. We become rich and
23:24
understanding, and where we are not ignorant of the schemes of
23:28
the enemy, we become rich, friends.
23:30
And knowing what our inheritance is, when we take our last
23:33
breath, friends, we become rich in Christ Jesus, friends.
23:39
And Paul became poor so that we can be rich in all of this
23:43
knowledge. He became sorrowful, although he
23:46
rejoiced in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. 11 Oh you
23:57
Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, and our heart is
24:01
enlarged. 12 You are not straightened in US, but you are
24:07
straightened in your own bowels. 13 Now for a repayment in the
24:12
same I speak as unto my children, be you also enlarged.
24:18
So he's saying, Open up your hearts to us.
24:21
Do not be closed off, for we are willing to come to you.
24:30
Now that we see that you have seen the air of your way and
24:39
repented, we are willing to come to you.
24:41
We are wide open towards you. Now make yourself ready.
24:45
Make your heart ready. Open yourself up to us and to
24:49
our teaching. And he's as a father speaking to
24:52
his little children. Here you can hear the endearment
24:56
that Paul had toward the Corinthians.
25:00
And the Corinthians were guilty of so many carnal ways of
25:04
thinking, friends, but he still considered them as Saints.
25:09
And here we can see that now they have come to their senses
25:13
and now they have started to repent and they see their need
25:18
for repentance. And that is what Christ
25:20
referenced when he said there is more rejoicing for one Sinner
25:23
who sees his need for repentance than for the 99 who do not,
25:29
friends. And that is what is referenced
25:31
here. He's saying open yourself wide
25:33
up to correction and to discipline.
25:36
Open yourself wide up to the purging and the purifying and
25:42
the refining that comes from discipline.
25:44
And just remember that like a loving Father, God always
25:48
disciplines those whom he loves. And it sure doesn't feel that
25:52
way in the moment. But correction is not rejection.
25:56
Friends 14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
26:07
For what fellowship has righteousness with
26:10
unrighteousness, and what communion has liked with
26:14
darkness. So here Paul wants them to know
26:18
that it is good for a boat to be in the water, but it is not good
26:22
for water to be in the boat. And it is as equally
26:27
unprofitable for a boat to be stuck in a shipyard hoisted up
26:33
high. Friends, it has.
26:35
It's not being used. And that is a picture of what is
26:38
referenced here, of not being unequally yoked.
26:43
Friends, we can be in the water, but we cannot have the water to
26:48
get inside of us or we will be sinking.
26:51
And that is what he is referencing here.
26:53
He's saying do not be influenced and allow the world to come in
26:59
and overtake you and to overtake the way that you think and
27:03
overtake your actions. It is OK for us to be out in the
27:08
world. We do not need to just build a
27:11
compound and put a barbed wire fence and armed guards around it
27:16
and sit in the middle and sing kumbaya until the Lord comes
27:20
home. We need to be found out in the
27:22
darkest places, but we do not need to let that darkness
27:26
overtake the light. Friends 15 And what concord has
27:36
Christ with Belial or what part has he that believes with an
27:42
infidel? So he's saying that Christ and
27:46
Satan do not cohabitate. Christ is high above all of the
27:52
satanic realm. And we do not need to be found
27:55
as children of Belial. We do not need to be found as
27:58
the sons of Belial. And this is a demonic
28:04
personality friends, that is manifested in those who choose
28:10
to do evil in this world. And Christ is fully separated,
28:15
as we should be as well. Whenever we try to mix in the
28:19
world system with the Christianity, it will be like
28:23
Christ and Belial trying to cohabitate and it will never
28:27
happen friends. He has no conchord with him and
28:33
we cannot put a believer in an infidel together.
28:37
And of course, this is in reference to marriage.
28:43
We do not need to be unequally yoked in our partner.
28:46
We do not need to be unequally yoked in a business partner,
28:50
friends. Anytime that you come into a an
28:55
agreement, anytime that you come in to a relationship, friends do
29:01
not expect for the other party to change.
29:05
You need to understand that whatever state that that person
29:08
is in when you come to them and when we're picking a spouse,
29:13
whenever we're dating with the intent to marry.
29:16
Friends, not just with the intent to get to know somebody,
29:19
but you should date with the intent to marry.
29:22
Do not even date them if you do not see them as a prospect for
29:26
marriage. But you need to understand that
29:29
whatever state you find them in at at the inception, you need to
29:34
go ahead and count the cost that they may never come over and
29:39
become believers. So if they are not a believer
29:42
when you first start talking to them, there is a great chance
29:47
that they will never become a believer.
29:49
Even with all the hounding, even with all of your haggling and
29:55
with all of your crying and wishing and pleading, they may
30:02
never come over into the faith, friends.
30:05
So whether it's a business partner or whether it is a
30:08
marriage partner, do not be unequally yoked.
30:13
Friends 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with
30:21
idols? For you are the temple of the
30:24
living God, And God has said, I will dwell in them and walk in
30:30
them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
30:33
So you need to understand that the temple of a holy God
30:37
deserves for you to be emptied of all of the worldliness and
30:41
the craftiness of all of the idol worship of all the demonic
30:46
friends, all of the secular garbage that we allow in.
30:51
And we give ourselves permissions and thinks that
30:54
there's nothing wrong with it, friends.
30:56
And we think that we can be tainted and that we can be mixed
31:00
and that we can be Luke warm and that the holy God will dwell in
31:03
US, friends. And far be it from us to ever
31:05
compromise. If you want to be fully filled
31:09
with the Holy Ghost, you must get rid of all of the
31:12
worldliness that's inside of you.
31:14
And it's OK for the boat to be in the water, but it is not OK
31:17
for the water to be in the boat. Friends 17 Wherefore come out
31:26
from among them and be you separate, says the Lord, and
31:31
touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.
31:34
This is where the accurate feeling of the Holy Ghost comes
31:38
into a person is whenever they have stiffed, armed all the
31:42
worldliness that's trying to come in to them.
31:46
Friends And again, it's OK for us to go into the darkness.
31:49
Friends, it is OK for us to be found in the darkest places on
31:54
planet earth, but it is not OK to for the darkness to be found
31:58
in US. And be careful when fighting
32:02
demons, lest you become one. Friends, we need to be
32:08
consecrated. This is an accurate picture of
32:11
what it looks like to be consecrated.
32:14
To be consecrated is to kick out all of the merchandise, to kick
32:19
out all of the worldly systems, to kick out all of the demonic
32:24
strongholds that are lording over your life, to get rid of
32:29
them friends, to take them out into the streets and burn them.
32:33
Rid your House of anything that is unclean and unprofitable and
32:38
watch the Holy Ghost fill you. And not just a little bit, not
32:42
just halfway, not just most of the way, but overflowing into
32:47
the community, overflowing into your family, overflowing into
32:52
the world at large. And he's telling us how to do
32:55
it. It is to rid this temple of of
32:58
all uncleanness. Friends, we'll end on 18 and
33:07
we'll be a father unto you, and you shall be my sons and
33:12
daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
33:17
If you want the presence of God Almighty in your life, if you
33:20
want the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome all evil in
33:25
your life, then you must take the necessary steps to get rid
33:30
of anything that is coming within your mind.
33:33
Take every thought captive and make them obedient unto Christ.
33:38
Get rid of all the external things that are plaguing you.
33:42
You think that you can watch the filth and it doesn't affect you?
33:46
Well you are wrong. You think that you can listen to
33:49
all of the filth and it doesn't affect you, Well you are wrong.
33:53
Friends, This is why we are eat up with so much anxiety and
33:58
depression and suicidal thoughts.
34:00
This is why we're eat up with so much anger and resentment and
34:04
wrath. This is why we're eat up with
34:06
all of the malice and deceit. Friends is because we have
34:11
allowed demonic oppression and influence into the temple of
34:17
God. And far be it from us to try to
34:20
cohabitate Christ with Belial. I hope you've been blessed by
34:32
this chapter. I know I sure have.
34:36
What a beautiful picture it is to be the temple of God.
34:45
Consecrate the temple today and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
34:52
Christ deserves 100% of all your thought processes.
35:00
Christ deserves 100% of all of your emotions.
35:08
Christ deserves 100% of your adoration affection.
35:17
Be entertained by him and not by the world system.
35:22
Friends, do not be amused and just turn the brain off and be
35:28
entertained by all kinds of different images that are coming
35:33
in. Get rid of them friends.
35:36
Get steeped and grounded in the Word of God.
35:40
Sharpen the two edged sword. I'm praying for you.
35:58
I love you. We'll see you back here
36:02
tomorrow. God bless you.
