#697: Origins of Spirits · Zion Word Ministries International Podcast

0:32
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna look in the Bible today, Romans chapter 8, verse 14.
0:38
SPEAKER_00: And turn it every say, if the shoe fits, where it's today.
0:42
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
0:44
SPEAKER_00: You're not playing fair.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: If the shoe fits, where it fits, where it's all right.
0:50
SPEAKER_00: Are you ready to read it with me today?
0:53
SPEAKER_00: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: The only ones that are the sons of God are those that are born from above and led by the Holy Spirit.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: Are you led by the Holy Spirit?
1:16
SPEAKER_00: This message came up when I began to think about the different origins of the spirits that we deal with.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: Every believer has three different spirits to deal with.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: And these different spirits bring about impulses in our life.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: Have you noticed what impulses are trying to direct you or control you?
1:50
SPEAKER_00: It comes from the inside, but it affects the outside of us.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: We can say there are different impulses caused by different spirits.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: But I want us to first off today to consider the origin of these spirits, our spirit, that brings about these impulses, actions, and reactions in our lives.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the amen.
2:21
SPEAKER_00: Number one, God's spirit is the divine nature.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: In other words, God's Holy Spirit brings about the divine nature, imparts the divine nature into every believer.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: Not that we're God, but then we're Christ-like.
2:41
SPEAKER_00: That's a Christian, Christ in.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: That's what a Christian is.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: And those Christians are actually led by the Holy Spirit.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: Now I'll admit it takes time to figure this out, and we're still understanding.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: But then we need to learn to listen to what spirit our spirits are speaking, are dealing with us, are speaking to us.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: We still have a choice, but then God never makes you do anything.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: Now He can put on the pressure, but you still must decide what you are going to do about the Spirit are spirits that are blessing you or buffeting you.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: And so I'm sure it's everyone's desire here today to be led by the Holy Ghost.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: He will never lead you astray.
3:56
SPEAKER_00: He will always make the right decisions for all involved, including the kingdom of God.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: But now in Romans chapter 8 and verse 9, back up there a little bit.
4:20
SPEAKER_00: But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: If's a big word, I'm going to preach on if one of these days.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: If so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: Now, let's ask ourselves a question.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: Forget about Sister Sal.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Is the Spirit of God in you and in me?
4:47
SPEAKER_00: Not the flesh, but the inner man.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: That's what we're talking about.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: The inner man.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: Which is your spirit soul.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Is God's Spirit dwelling or living in you?
5:03
SPEAKER_00: That's the question.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: Now I realize it's vague sometimes, but he said he never leaves nor forsake us.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: When did he come in?
5:14
SPEAKER_00: Well, the moment you obeyed the word and bowed your knee to the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, received forgiveness of sins because of his precious blood is shed on the cross.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: Then the Holy Spirit freely and legally came in to stay.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: No amens.
5:37
SPEAKER_00: What's wrong with you?
5:38
SPEAKER_00: I said the Holy Spirit came in to live and stay inside of you.
5:44
SPEAKER_00: That's a fact.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: Now, if any men have not the Spirit of Christ, he's none of his.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: Or we're not even right with God.
6:17
SPEAKER_00: And yet there are churches that can go mega without the Holy Spirit.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: It's all out the window.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: God accepts none of it.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: He only responds to faith in Christ through the Holy Ghost.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: Now in 1 Corinthians 6 and verse 19, somebody said, You shouldn't have gone camping today, huh?
6:45
SPEAKER_00: Probably so.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: Probably.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: 1 Corinthians 6 and verse 19.
6:56
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know of any rules and regulations on thou shalt not that'll make you a Christian.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: There's nothing you can stop doing or start doing to make you a Christian.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit Himself makes us Christians.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: Quit struggling and trying to change yourself, you cannot.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: And Sister Sal's getting on my nerves.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: Maybe we should ask the Lord to change us.
7:37
SPEAKER_00: There's nothing wrong with me.
7:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty righteous.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: Sure you are.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: We're only righteous through Christ.
7:52
SPEAKER_00: The flesh just hinders us.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: And so in verse 19, boy, I'm sounding like a pastor today.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: Well.
8:02
SPEAKER_00: What?
8:04
SPEAKER_00: What?
8:06
SPEAKER_00: I love the hackers.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
8:08
SPEAKER_00: Hack today, hack tomorrow, hack when the morning goes up, hack when the sun goes down.
8:16
SPEAKER_00: Nonsense.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: Know ye not that your body is simple of the Holy Ghost?
8:21
SPEAKER_00: Which is in you.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm not talking about being filled with the Spirit, I'm talking about being born of the Spirit.
8:32
SPEAKER_00: You hear the word of faith, which brings a new birth.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: And which you have of God, you're not your own.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: So we receive the divine nature from the Father God Himself, through the Son by the Spirit.
8:53
SPEAKER_00: That's the way we were saved, and that's the way we stay saved.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: And then verse 20 says, and you're bought with a price.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: And so that price, as you know, was the life of the only begotten Son.
9:09
SPEAKER_00: Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: I heard one man say, Well, if Jesus died on the cross, I don't want him dying for me.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, now you can't be saved unless you accept the crucifixion of the Savior.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: For us.
9:33
SPEAKER_00: And so this man is lost.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: It was a false sense of humility that God cannot accept.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: Now, the word of God is a failsafe.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: So God operates, as I often say, in the confines of his word.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: He limits his all-powerful all-knowingness to operate in the confines of what he said in the scripture.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: Therefore, if anything happens that seems to be supernatural that's outside the word of God would not be from the Godhead.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: Now, as we're understanding that we have the inward, the divine nature, there are different ways that divine nature speaks to us.
10:27
SPEAKER_00: And I know many struggle with this, and it takes a long time to hone the process of hearing correctly.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: God understands that.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: But nevertheless, we need to strive to listen.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: The first one is what we call the inward voice, and I explain that a lot as a stop and go.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: You go to the sob sign and you stop the car if it's clear, and then you go through the intersection.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: Most of you, you don't stop, you just drive right on through.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: Like around this church.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: But the inward witness is the primary way that God leads us.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: And I call it the stop and go.
11:19
SPEAKER_00: You ever go into a place that you wonder if you should be there?
11:25
unknown: Yes, sir.
11:26
SPEAKER_00: And you get in there, and all of a sudden you get this bad feeling.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: It's more than a feeling, it is a knowing in your spirit, in your soul, which is your heart.
11:36
SPEAKER_00: You know that something's not right and you're trying to fit in, and you want to be the good old guy, but all of a sudden you got this inward witness that says, get out!
11:46
unknown: Yep.
11:48
unknown: Very true.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: Uh you know what I'm talking about.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: Need to listen.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: Because the more we turn a deaf ear, the more vague it becomes.
12:04
SPEAKER_00: And now we just become lost a little vagabonds, saved, but just wandering about where God is.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: And all the time we haven't listened.
12:16
SPEAKER_00: You see, I learned this many years ago, and I know most of you can't accept what I'm going to say, but it's a ministry thing.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: And that is when I was going to learn how to do all these things and following God.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Of course, we miss it sometimes, but there's the grace to help us.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: I had to learn how to, especially operating in the words of wisdom, knowledge, discern the spirit, so forth and so on, which we do from time to time.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: I had to learn not just to trust my inner witness, but to trust the mind of Christ, which is in me, which is his thoughts, not my thoughts.
12:59
SPEAKER_00: Can we trust God with our mind?
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Now you've got to be in the spirit, so you've got to figure out what that means.
13:07
SPEAKER_00: Well, if any man doesn't have the spirit of Christ, there's none of his.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: So it's the goal to learn what it means to be in the spirit.
13:19
SPEAKER_00: I get marveled at John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Sunday came in the cave, he was in the spirit on the Lord's day.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Everything going wrong except he was in the spirit on the Lord's day.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: Now that's a great manifestation and revelation to us.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: So we have the inward witness, you understand what that means.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: It's an impulse.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: We need to respond to that and not ignore that because, like I said, it'll be more difficult down and down the road to have that blessing in your life.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: We could save ourselves a lot of heartaches if we but just listen to the inward witness.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: A lot of young people, oh, I need to get married.
14:05
SPEAKER_00: Have you heard the inward witness?
14:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, it looks right.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: She's even, he's even your preacher's kid.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: That don't mean nothing.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: That might be worse.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: The inward voice is your new man speaking to you.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: Now, your new man is in conjunction with the Holy Spirit of God, nevertheless, it's your human, new, born-again spirit speaking to you.
14:53
SPEAKER_00: You're more than flesh and blood, everybody.
14:57
SPEAKER_00: We've got to learn how to listen to our inner voice that's godly, holy.
15:08
SPEAKER_00: Maybe not perfect just yet, but influenced by the Holy Spirit that's living with your human spirit, and your human spirit will speak to you.
15:24
SPEAKER_00: It will be in line with the scripture.
15:26
SPEAKER_00: How many understands what I'm saying?
15:30
SPEAKER_00: Why don't we obey it more?
15:32
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll get to that.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: We can save ourselves a lot of grief if we would just listen to ourselves.
15:40
SPEAKER_00: Now, you've lost it now.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: No, who are you?
15:44
unknown: Right.
15:46
unknown: Amen.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: If you're a new creature in Christ Jesus, old things passed away, and you're led by the Holy Spirit, then it's safe to presume that the inner voice is going to speak to you.
15:59
SPEAKER_00: But you still must make a choice in your soul about what you're going to do and what spirit you're going to obey.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: We could even obey our human spirit because we're worshiping in spirit.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: Now wait.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you got to get worked up and work in the worship in the Holy Spirit.
16:21
SPEAKER_00: I understand that.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: But we also worship in our human spirit.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: Which is in the image of God.
16:32
SPEAKER_00: If you're not born again, you're not in the image of God.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: You're in the image of Adam.
16:40
SPEAKER_00: Just as clear as mud, isn't it?
16:43
SPEAKER_00: All right.
16:43
SPEAKER_00: It is well, all right.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: So what I'm trying to say is your born-again spirit is speaking to you.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: Well, God said, No, wait a minute.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: Your new nature is godly.
17:03
SPEAKER_00: Turn to Sister Sal and say, You're godly.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: Why don't you act like it?
17:12
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll get to that.
17:16
SPEAKER_00: Even Jesus wept.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: I mean, hey, he got angry.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: I know he was God.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, wait.
17:23
SPEAKER_00: Jesus had a human spirit and a divine spirit, a divine nature.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: He had a human nature and a divine nature.
17:35
SPEAKER_00: Do you understand that?
17:38
SPEAKER_00: But we have three things to deal with.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: The Christian has the new nature, which is the divine nature that's given to us by the Holy Spirit.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: Then we have the human spirit that God's still working on.
18:00
SPEAKER_00: And then we have the old Adamic nature, which is the sin nature, that didn't come from God.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: All three we deal with.
18:17
SPEAKER_00: Your thoughts.
18:21
SPEAKER_00: We've got to learn how to discern our thought process.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: And I know I think some things that's wrong, I'll admit that.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: About all the time.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: But not you.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh no, no.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: You never have an impure thought.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: Never do have a wrong action or deed.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: No.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: No.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: You never kick the dog, huh?
18:45
SPEAKER_00: You never lose your temper.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: No, you never know.
18:47
SPEAKER_00: That wouldn't be the nature of Christ.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: So why do we yield to it?
18:56
SPEAKER_00: Well, let's look at Acts chapter 8 and verse 29.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: You know, what do we like at this wonderful three-day holiday?
19:05
SPEAKER_00: This is the message.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm not listening.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: Well, your spirit always listens.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: You'll never leave church without receiving something in your spirit.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: That's a fact.
19:24
SPEAKER_00: If the word's coming forth and truth is coming forth, your spirit says, Give it to me.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: But then there's opposition.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: Acts 8 29.
19:41
SPEAKER_00: I like this because this is the third way that we are led by the Spirit.
19:47
SPEAKER_00: Not only is it the inward witness or the inner voice, but sometimes more authoritatively, the Holy Spirit Himself will speak to us.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: Have you ever heard from God?
20:02
SPEAKER_00: I mean, in the Spirit, by the Spirit.
20:05
SPEAKER_00: Has the Holy Spirit, the person of the Spirit, ever said anything to you?
20:13
SPEAKER_00: That's not your inward witness or your inward voice, but your inward witness and inward voice will come into a hundred percent agreement and harmony with God's Holy Spirit's voice.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: No opposition whatsoever.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: Because the Holy Spirit loves us.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: You've got to understand that God loves us.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: God's not had to kill you.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: He'd be dead already.
20:42
SPEAKER_00: And so would I.
20:44
SPEAKER_00: So God's for us.
20:46
SPEAKER_00: He's not against us.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: But he is somewhat annoyed when we don't listen.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: You ever talk to somebody and they're not listening to you?
20:59
SPEAKER_00: Or they're ignoring you?
21:02
SPEAKER_00: That's the reason we should always listen to the spirit's whims.
21:09
SPEAKER_00: And not ignore him, especially when we come to church.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: Because the more you ignore him, the further back he goes.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely makes the heart grow fonder.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: No.
21:27
SPEAKER_00: Absolut does not make the heart grow fonder when it comes to this aspect.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Acts 8 29, then the spirit said to Philip, go near and join yourself to that chariot.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: So the Spirit spoke directly to the apostle Philip.
21:50
SPEAKER_00: Go join yourself to that chariot.
21:53
SPEAKER_00: Just do it.
21:55
SPEAKER_00: But but but no, just do it.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: But what if?
22:01
SPEAKER_00: Just do it.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: You see, we don't have to obey God.
22:08
SPEAKER_00: We get to.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: But this involves knowing his voice.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: I wish God would speak to me.
22:22
SPEAKER_00: He already has given you 66 books.
22:26
SPEAKER_00: He's already spoken in his word.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: But then I'm talking about an actual encounter with the Holy Spirit direct now.
22:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean, why would he speak to you if you're not going to obey?
22:43
SPEAKER_00: He won't.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: And if he does, he already knows you're not going to obey.
22:50
SPEAKER_00: Now, folks, we need to obey God.
22:51
SPEAKER_00: Can't have an amen.
22:54
SPEAKER_00: What's wrong with everybody?
22:57
SPEAKER_00: Go over there and join yourself to that chariot.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: And this involves the soul of a person making decisions are your conscience.
23:10
SPEAKER_00: Everybody say conscience.
23:11
SPEAKER_00: Now, some people's conscience, it's just seared with a hot iron.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: And frankly, all of us, we cannot trust our conscience.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: We're not led by our conscience, we're led by the Holy Spirit.
23:24
SPEAKER_00: Now, our conscience should be at one with the Holy Spirit, but because of other issues, a lot of times it is not.
23:33
unknown: That's right.
23:34
SPEAKER_00: So you can't trust your conscience.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: Then you get off into feelings.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: We're not led by feelings.
23:42
SPEAKER_00: If I was led by feelings, I shouldn't even be preaching this morning.
23:47
unknown: Right.
23:53
SPEAKER_00: So our soul is involved.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: You know, God doesn't make a mistake.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: Moses would tell God, well, you got the wrong man.
24:05
SPEAKER_00: No.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: God doesn't make any mistakes.
24:12
SPEAKER_00: So quit struggling with what God wants you to be, become, and just know that God hadn't made a mistake about you.
24:20
SPEAKER_00: Well, if I was like Brother Mooney, I could be happy.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: No, there's only one you, thank God.
24:28
SPEAKER_00: One you.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: One was enough.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: God will make another you.
24:36
SPEAKER_00: He cannot make another you.
24:41
SPEAKER_00: You're unique in what God has called you to become, called you to do, and your talents and abilities.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: And by the way, Monty, you need uh, Danny, you need to go ahead and go ahead and go all out for the um what's the next not super ten the principle.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: You need to go ahead with that.
25:04
SPEAKER_00: God told me this week, you do what you want, it's your decision, but you've got the talents and the abilities of the Holy Spirit, you've got the knowledge and the wisdom and the wherewithal, and you need to do it and just black a devil's eye.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: Quit taking back seat.
25:18
SPEAKER_00: We need to be running things.
25:21
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: Well, the second thing I think about is our human spirit, which does involve our our soul and our conscious, but it's more of a natural aspect.
25:44
SPEAKER_00: Our human spirit.
25:46
SPEAKER_00: 1 Corinthians 2 4, 14, and the human spirit, which we all have, is it involves the flesh nature.
25:58
SPEAKER_00: Now, this flesh nature can be good or it can be bad.
26:06
SPEAKER_00: It depends upon our word level, etc.
26:09
SPEAKER_00: etc.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: Our commitment, dedication, consecration to God's will.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: Are we dead to self or a little bit reserved so we can fly off the handle and black somebody's eye?
26:20
SPEAKER_00: You know?
26:21
SPEAKER_00: Are we really bond slaves?
26:27
SPEAKER_00: The natural man, that's the human spirit's involved here.
26:32
SPEAKER_00: Because he's writing to the church, receives not the things the Spirit of God.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean, the Holy Spirit can bring a revelation of whether you receive it or not.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: And if you don't receive it, you become like the little one there, and explain it away.
26:54
SPEAKER_00: And so you stagnate, you're a check, and then you're not going to grow until you've received the things of God.
27:04
SPEAKER_00: Because the things of God actually nourishes, cares for, equips, and prepares your inner man for war.
27:12
unknown: That's right.
27:14
SPEAKER_00: To name a few, but it's foolishness to the natural man.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: He's spiritually discerned.
27:22
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't have to be spiritually discerned.
27:25
SPEAKER_00: So why are some believers spiritually discerned and just cannot receive the supernatural word of God?
27:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, the word of God is supernatural.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: God himself is supernatural.
27:40
SPEAKER_00: Which is, we should be naturally supernatural.
27:44
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Sidroth.
27:45
SPEAKER_00: All thing you ever said was true.
27:51
SPEAKER_00: So you see, our human spirit is very important that we take care of that.
28:00
SPEAKER_00: And our our our our mindset and our thought process is involved here.
28:05
SPEAKER_00: You know, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: And you're going to begin to confess what you think.
28:14
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
28:17
SPEAKER_00: Does that set it in concrete?
28:20
SPEAKER_00: No, there's always room for repentance, always a way out, always a door of grace.
28:27
SPEAKER_00: But you got to come that way.
28:30
SPEAKER_00: Which is all invisible but yet real.
28:35
SPEAKER_00: So in this human spirit, then the sin nature seems to be consolidated with the human nature.
28:43
SPEAKER_00: Now, sometimes the Bible calls that the flesh, but from my viewpoint, there's no real inherent sinning going on in this flesh.
28:53
SPEAKER_00: It's just a vehicle of expression from the inner man.
28:58
SPEAKER_00: Now I realize it's sinner under the curse.
29:01
SPEAKER_00: I know that shocks some of you.
29:03
SPEAKER_00: But you are getting older.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
29:06
SPEAKER_00: We weren't created to age.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's Adam's fault, I know.
29:13
SPEAKER_00: That we got something, another problem to deal with.
29:16
SPEAKER_00: Now nobody can stop the aging process.
29:18
SPEAKER_00: I've tried.
29:18
SPEAKER_00: I thought about uh, you know, I need to get a facelift, you know.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: That's$30,000, and I need to get this wattle taken care of, you know.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: And you know, get some max factor via that video sasson and wear sunglasses and get all my teeth implanted where they're absolutely perfect.
29:38
SPEAKER_00: So white it blinds you when I smile, and you know, and but you still have bad breath.
29:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
29:48
SPEAKER_00: So it's life.
29:52
SPEAKER_00: You know, it takes many years to get some wisdom, then about that time it's time to leave.
29:56
unknown: Yeah.
29:58
SPEAKER_00: You young people think you got the world but the tail, you don't.
30:04
SPEAKER_00: Be content with things that you have, all right?
30:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, back on this this this wrong nature that we have to deal with, which seems to be in intertwined with our human nature, but it depends upon.
30:21
SPEAKER_00: Are you trusting in humanism or are you trusting in the gospel?
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Are you trusting in the cross of Christ for victory?
30:28
SPEAKER_00: Are you trusting in ten steps and over that humans cannot put?
30:33
SPEAKER_00: See?
30:35
SPEAKER_00: The truth is the church does not have a remedy for sin.
30:39
SPEAKER_01: We'll be right back to today's message.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: But first, we want to take a moment to thank you for sign working with international projects.
30:51
SPEAKER_01: Proclaim the word of God with clarity, power, and put in believers around the world with gospel.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: We find you the work of God.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: The words of course helped us with the gospel of Christ.
31:11
SPEAKER_01: To learn more, yes, or stay connected.
31:15
SPEAKER_01: This is Zionword.com.
31:17
SPEAKER_01: That's Zionword.com.
31:21
SPEAKER_01: Now, let's get back to today's powerful message with Dr.
31:25
SPEAKER_01: Randy Davis.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: Christ is the only remedy for sin.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: Well, often I just join the church, I'll be okay.
31:35
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's good to join a church, you should, but it won't fix anything.
31:39
unknown: Right.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: So that's the problem with people in church often.
31:44
SPEAKER_00: They just bring their message to the next congregation.
31:48
SPEAKER_00: But it hadn't fixed you.
31:50
SPEAKER_00: You're still messed up.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, Brother Mooney makes me that way.
31:55
SPEAKER_00: No, you're the one that don't understand what I'm talking about.
32:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, so to repeat, Jesus had a divine nature and a human nature.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: But he had no sinful nature that we had.
32:16
SPEAKER_00: Now I know some of you don't believe what I'm saying.
32:19
SPEAKER_00: Well, can you give me scripture that the sin nature has been eradicated at the new birth?
32:31
SPEAKER_00: It's crucified, wrecked and dormant, powerless and ineffective, but still in us.
32:41
SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't accept it.
32:43
SPEAKER_00: You're deceived.
32:46
SPEAKER_00: No, we don't major on this, but you need to understand who you are and what the problem really is.
32:56
SPEAKER_00: He is born of God cannot sin, doesn't practice sin.
32:59
SPEAKER_00: The human nature, if it if the human nature loves God, then the human nature doesn't want to do wrong.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: So what is it that makes us do wrong?
33:10
SPEAKER_00: It's Satan.
33:11
SPEAKER_00: No, it's not Satan.
33:15
SPEAKER_00: Now it can be, but Satan comes to entice the old nature, the sin nature, not the divine nature, not even your human qualities.
33:27
SPEAKER_00: He comes to tempt the old nature that loves the sin.
33:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, there's pleasure in sin for a short season.
33:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
33:36
SPEAKER_00: And then the next falls.
33:40
SPEAKER_00: If it wasn't for the grace of God, we'd all be in hell.
33:44
unknown: That's right.
33:44
SPEAKER_00: Because there's none righteous, no, not one.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: The only righteousness we've got is through Christ Jesus alone.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: But thank God.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: We are righteous through him.
33:59
SPEAKER_00: But you must continue in the grace of God and not fall away, lest the old man dominate you again and you wind up in hell anyway.
34:08
SPEAKER_00: You know, Sister Sal's not giving me an amen.
34:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
34:11
SPEAKER_00: I've got to come up with a new phrase here, a new name.
34:15
SPEAKER_00: I've beaten Sister Sal and Brother Mooney down.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: Now I've got to find somebody else to pick on.
34:20
SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking, but the Spirit doesn't said anything to me, so I don't know.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: Some of you, you need to listen to some of the sixth for about six months, and you'd appreciate this church a little bit more.
34:36
unknown: Yes and be.
34:59
SPEAKER_00: One faith, one Lord baptism, one gospel, that's it.
35:02
SPEAKER_00: There shouldn't be any problem as long as we're learning how to live for God.
35:06
SPEAKER_00: The problem is we don't know how to live for God.
35:09
SPEAKER_00: This is the problem.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: You think going to church on a Sunday morning once an hour is living for God?
35:16
SPEAKER_00: No, it's 24-7.
35:20
SPEAKER_00: Now the Lord can watch the ballgame with you.
35:22
SPEAKER_00: I'm not down in that.
35:32
SPEAKER_00: So there's a balance.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: But where's your priorities at?
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Is it for God, for human nature, or the wrong nature?
35:48
SPEAKER_00: Matthew 26, 41.
35:49
SPEAKER_00: This is going to make a lead balloon.
35:51
SPEAKER_00: My goodness.
35:52
SPEAKER_00: I need to come up with another phrase.
35:54
SPEAKER_00: You're tired of that one too.
35:55
SPEAKER_00: Well, after 40 years, I run out of things to say.
35:59
SPEAKER_00: Under this one guy, this preacher he said he was.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: Matthew 25, 40, 41.
36:08
SPEAKER_00: 26, 41, I'll get it right.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: He said, Well, I've been preaching for many years and I've never studied for a message.
36:15
SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking, wow.
36:17
SPEAKER_00: He said, Yeah, I've never run out of words to say.
36:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking, God help the church.
36:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, they're all happy.
36:28
SPEAKER_00: But they're babies.
36:30
SPEAKER_00: See, if the Holy Spirit doesn't challenge us to change and grow, we're stagnated.
36:37
SPEAKER_00: And it comes to truth.
36:40
SPEAKER_00: This is a good thing if you will accept it.
36:43
SPEAKER_00: And if you don't, what nature is that working?
36:51
SPEAKER_00: Watch and pray, you enter not in temptation, but the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
36:56
SPEAKER_00: Here's the problem.
36:57
SPEAKER_00: Our spirits, if you're saved, we're willing, man.
37:01
SPEAKER_00: Bring it on, Lord.
37:03
SPEAKER_00: But then when something comes, our flesh, oh, I can't do it.
37:09
SPEAKER_00: He knew you couldn't do it.
37:11
SPEAKER_00: But he'll give you the ability through Christ to do it.
37:15
SPEAKER_00: But your flesh may not like it.
37:19
SPEAKER_00: I know.
37:20
SPEAKER_00: This is part of the battleground.
37:23
SPEAKER_00: But you can still override it if your human spirit is right with God.
37:31
SPEAKER_00: If there's a glitch, then there's going to be war inside of you.
37:36
SPEAKER_00: And who will win?
37:38
SPEAKER_00: I just hope and pray when the trumpet sounds, we all understand this, and we're in the spirit waiting for Jesus and working in the kingdom of God.
37:47
SPEAKER_00: That's all.
37:48
SPEAKER_00: If we're not there, folks, we're in trouble.
37:52
SPEAKER_00: We're in big trouble.
37:56
SPEAKER_00: So our flesh does not want to obey the spirit.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: Our flesh does not want to obey the human spirit.
38:07
SPEAKER_00: Our flesh does not want to obey the divine nature.
38:10
SPEAKER_00: Our flesh does not want to listen to the inward witness, the inward voice of the Holy Spirit.
38:16
SPEAKER_00: Our flesh wants to do what it wants to do.
38:21
unknown: Yes.
38:27
SPEAKER_00: Excuses, excuses, and da da da da da da.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: What's any of the words of that?
38:34
SPEAKER_00: It's not edifying, but it's true.
38:36
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's too hot, it's too cold, you know.
38:40
SPEAKER_00: You know, music's too loud, not loud enough.
38:43
SPEAKER_00: Preacher preaching's too long.
38:44
SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't agree with him.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: Blah, blah, blah.
38:47
SPEAKER_00: Sister South's getting on my nerves.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: Oh, them kids, they need to be spanked.
38:50
SPEAKER_00: And on and on we go.
38:52
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, it's raining, and you know, well, it might snow.
38:55
SPEAKER_00: We better stay home.
38:57
SPEAKER_00: Now, my wife and I have got into this habit.
39:01
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be dark for long.
39:03
SPEAKER_00: We better get home.
39:05
SPEAKER_00: That's when you're getting old.
39:07
SPEAKER_00: That's when we're getting old.
39:09
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be dark for long.
39:10
SPEAKER_00: Those lights blind me, you know.
39:13
SPEAKER_00: Excuses.
39:16
SPEAKER_00: You know, if I if I call for a prayer meeting for one hour on Friday night, I'd be a lonely man.
39:27
SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
39:32
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm busy.
39:37
SPEAKER_00: Then I guess God's not gonna have time for you.
39:44
SPEAKER_00: You see, we get content with the way we are, and all of us need to grow.
39:52
SPEAKER_00: Crowing pains hurt, but necessary to become the sons of God that God says you are.
40:00
SPEAKER_00: The head and not the tail, the boss, but you gotta die out.
40:07
SPEAKER_00: Not my will but thine be done.
40:09
SPEAKER_00: That's the way it's got to be, everybody.
40:13
SPEAKER_00: Because that was the nature of Christ.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: He didn't want to go to the cross, he looked for another way.
40:18
SPEAKER_00: There wasn't another way.
40:21
SPEAKER_00: So he said, All right, your will be done.
40:28
SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
40:30
SPEAKER_00: Go against God's will, that's the ill nature working.
40:35
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
40:36
SPEAKER_00: Now, the third thing, can you take this one?
40:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go to 12 so just relax.
40:43
SPEAKER_00: No church tonight.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: I mean, going slow so we can purposely get it.
40:50
SPEAKER_00: I can talk real fast, you know what I'm saying?
40:52
SPEAKER_00: I was talking to this guy down here at the store, and uh he had a Bible reading uh there at the marketplace, you know, and he had a Bible there, and he was, I said, Oh, you're reading the good book?
41:05
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I am.
41:06
SPEAKER_00: I just got baptized here a while back.
41:08
SPEAKER_00: He said, Great.
41:09
SPEAKER_00: I repent, I accorded scripture.
41:13
SPEAKER_00: Repent and be baptized, everyone named Jews, Christ, you say to get the Holy Ghost.
41:17
SPEAKER_00: Promise you're your children far off, you're gonna last call.
41:19
SPEAKER_00: Just rattle it off fast.
41:21
SPEAKER_00: He said, Yeah, I like St.
41:23
SPEAKER_00: John.
41:23
SPEAKER_00: I said, in the beginning, what's the words of God?
41:26
SPEAKER_00: I said, I know I know the word.
41:27
SPEAKER_00: He said, Boy, you do know the word, don't you?
41:32
SPEAKER_00: Just rattle it off before I couldn't even talk at fast.
41:35
SPEAKER_00: He's going, whoa.
41:41
SPEAKER_00: Thank God for him.
41:42
unknown: Yeah.
41:44
SPEAKER_00: We need new converts.
41:47
SPEAKER_00: Now baptism wouldn't save him, but then if he believed in Christ, it certainly helped.
41:54
SPEAKER_00: It certainly added to his confession of faith.
41:58
SPEAKER_00: So we have the sinners to deal with.
42:00
SPEAKER_00: I talk on this quite a bit because it's true.
42:05
SPEAKER_00: So our our spirit wants to obey God, but the flesh doesn't.
42:15
SPEAKER_00: But what impulses of what prompts the flesh to disobey?
42:20
SPEAKER_00: That's the third point.
42:24
SPEAKER_00: Well, we have evil spirits and the nature of Satan to deal with.
42:33
SPEAKER_00: Now, Satan himself will not mess with most of us.
42:36
SPEAKER_00: We're not big enough in the kingdom of God.
42:38
SPEAKER_00: He goes after the biggies.
42:41
SPEAKER_00: But nevertheless, we have evil spirits to deal with.
42:47
SPEAKER_00: I said we have evil spirits to deal with all the time.
42:54
SPEAKER_00: And actually, it's antichrist in nature, and these evil spirits want to control you and me.
43:02
SPEAKER_00: Which is witchcraft.
43:05
SPEAKER_00: Look, I don't want to control anybody in the church.
43:08
SPEAKER_00: You're free to do what you want, you're volunteers.
43:14
SPEAKER_00: Huh?
43:18
SPEAKER_00: And so I want you to do what God wants you to do, but I'm not gonna drive a goat or try to make you do something that you can't do and don't want to do anyway.
43:30
SPEAKER_00: That's religion.
43:32
SPEAKER_00: No, I'm out.
43:34
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna go around and hold your hand because you miss a church service.
43:40
SPEAKER_00: You know you missed it.
43:45
SPEAKER_00: I can't make you not miss it.
43:48
SPEAKER_00: I can spend all of my time fretting about what you're not doing.
43:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna do it.
43:57
SPEAKER_00: I've been delivered from performance.
44:00
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna jump through a hoop to please any of you.
44:03
SPEAKER_00: What in earth is that?
44:05
SPEAKER_00: Christ didn't please people.
44:08
SPEAKER_00: He preached to someone and all that.
44:12
SPEAKER_00: When you're not in Christ, I'm his representative.
44:15
SPEAKER_00: Don't you ever forget it.
44:20
SPEAKER_00: If I get switched over to the wrong, to the to the right mode of ministry, you better listen.
44:30
SPEAKER_00: You're threatening me.
44:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm just telling you like it is, everybody.
44:35
SPEAKER_00: Family, friends, or foe, it makes no difference to me.
44:38
SPEAKER_00: God is number one above family, church, job, and everything else with me.
44:46
SPEAKER_00: And if that's a bless God attitude, well, that's the way it is with me.
44:54
SPEAKER_00: Evil spirits try to control you.
44:59
SPEAKER_00: Some call it narcissism.
45:03
SPEAKER_00: I call it Jezebel's spirit, witchcraft.
45:14
SPEAKER_00: What spirit tries to control you?
45:23
SPEAKER_00: God does not try to control us, He leads us.
45:27
SPEAKER_00: So it's a wrong spirit hammering away, trying to make you something that's against the do something against the will of God.
45:36
SPEAKER_00: No.
45:37
SPEAKER_00: We cannot go against the will of God.
45:42
SPEAKER_00: What spirit is it that comes to you and says, you can't afford to tithe?
45:48
SPEAKER_00: Well, what did God say?
45:51
SPEAKER_00: What spirit is that?
45:54
SPEAKER_00: You know what?
45:55
SPEAKER_00: Our whole nation, if everybody that was a real citizen would just give the IRS 10%, wouldn't be out of debt.
46:06
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that fair?
46:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, I can't afford to do it, preacher.
46:11
SPEAKER_00: I know I've been there.
46:13
SPEAKER_00: It's a struggle.
46:14
SPEAKER_00: The flesh struggles.
46:15
SPEAKER_00: What are we gonna do?
46:16
SPEAKER_00: Because self-preservation means more to us than serving God.
46:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
46:26
SPEAKER_00: There's no law that says you have to tithe.
46:28
SPEAKER_00: Don't do it.
46:30
SPEAKER_00: Rob God.
46:32
SPEAKER_00: What's that to mean?
46:36
SPEAKER_00: How's it going?
46:43
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll send it off over there to California and I'll be a web member.
46:47
SPEAKER_00: Sure, they'll bury you, they'll marry you, they'll counsel you, they'll preach.
46:52
SPEAKER_00: That's not church.
46:54
SPEAKER_00: Stop it.
47:00
SPEAKER_00: Folks, you're gonna have to deal with this stuff now.
47:06
SPEAKER_00: I don't want your money.
47:08
SPEAKER_00: I wish money was not involved in the church.
47:10
SPEAKER_00: But it is, who do you think bought those chairs, huh?
47:13
SPEAKER_00: Who do you think pays the bills?
47:15
SPEAKER_00: Who do you think gives me enough money to eat fried chicken three times a week, huh?
47:21
unknown: That's right.
47:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, you preachers, bless God.
47:24
SPEAKER_00: No, we got more troubles than all of you put together.
47:28
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
47:31
SPEAKER_00: Then I'm here limping a little bit.
47:38
SPEAKER_00: But I do love you, every one of you.
47:41
SPEAKER_00: And that's the reason we take the beating.
47:45
SPEAKER_00: But I've learned the greater the opposition, the greater the anointing of the Holy Ghost.
47:52
SPEAKER_00: I tell you, the devil just kind of defeats somebody with the mantle of the Holy Ghost.
47:58
SPEAKER_00: Not possible.
48:01
SPEAKER_00: So that's where it is.
48:03
SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
48:04
SPEAKER_00: When I leave, somebody else will get it.
48:08
SPEAKER_00: But until then, I'm gonna have the final say.
48:11
unknown: Yeah.
48:12
SPEAKER_00: Because I no longer arrive at Christ.
48:16
SPEAKER_00: Yes, preacher, amen.
48:18
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
48:19
SPEAKER_00: Well, how does Satan work on us?
48:22
SPEAKER_00: Pride.
48:24
SPEAKER_00: Deception.
48:25
SPEAKER_00: Say it with me.
48:26
SPEAKER_00: Pride.
48:27
SPEAKER_00: Deception.
48:30
SPEAKER_00: Rebellious.
48:33
SPEAKER_00: Manipulates.
48:37
SPEAKER_00: Just a few ways that Satan works on us.
48:41
SPEAKER_00: Through spirits, wrong spirits, evil spirits.
48:46
SPEAKER_00: He oppresses, he opposes us.
48:50
SPEAKER_00: He's the adversary to God and his church.
48:54
SPEAKER_00: Satan is our adversary, our enemy.
48:59
SPEAKER_00: We've got to know the enemy.
49:01
SPEAKER_00: He is known as the accuser and the destroyer.
49:06
SPEAKER_00: He comes to seek, kill, and destroy.
49:08
SPEAKER_00: And listen now, church, if there's a crack in your armor, he's gonna get in.
49:20
SPEAKER_00: So what spirit is influencing us today?
49:28
SPEAKER_00: Our self, man, is evil.
49:33
SPEAKER_00: And you know, it's got to die out.
49:36
SPEAKER_00: The old timers caught it dying, caught it dead to self, dying to self.
49:41
SPEAKER_00: And we all think we're pretty dead to self until something comes along and we find out we're not quite dead to self.
49:55
SPEAKER_00: So Satan wants to destroy the church through people.
49:59
SPEAKER_00: I want to say it again.
50:03
SPEAKER_00: Satan wants to destroy God's church through people that are driven and controlled by demons.
50:14
SPEAKER_00: You can spot them.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: If you're saved, you can pick up on somebody that's got a wrong spirit.
50:20
SPEAKER_00: And it's a spirit.
50:33
SPEAKER_00: If you're right with God, you must stand against it.
50:40
SPEAKER_00: So Satan tempts us to the old nature that we have.
50:46
SPEAKER_00: We could call it the flesh, if you will.
50:51
SPEAKER_00: So here's something I've learned now as I'm quitting.
50:56
SPEAKER_00: If Satan can't stop the local church, now I'm talking about this church.
51:02
SPEAKER_00: I'm bringing it down to where we are now.
51:06
SPEAKER_00: If Satan cannot stop the vision of this church, he will simply join it.
51:16
SPEAKER_00: That's the reason I have to preach.
51:18
SPEAKER_00: Whether you like it or whether you don't, it don't make any difference to me.
51:26
SPEAKER_00: Because I cannot allow demons to join the church.
51:35
SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't be too comfortable.
51:40
SPEAKER_00: Little reptilian creature sitting by you.
51:44
SPEAKER_00: Would you?
51:47
SPEAKER_00: You know what evil is, don't you?
51:49
SPEAKER_00: You can feel it, can't you?
51:51
SPEAKER_00: Is that flesh?
51:52
SPEAKER_00: No, it's spirit.
51:52
SPEAKER_00: You can feel the spirit.
51:54
SPEAKER_00: The oppression of the enemy, you can feel that, can't you?
51:58
SPEAKER_00: And a lot of times when I crack this Bible, I'm preaching against the principalities that wants to destroy the church.
52:08
SPEAKER_00: It's not about you.
52:10
SPEAKER_00: If you're affected by wrong spirits, then it is about you.
52:16
SPEAKER_00: But it's not really you.
52:17
SPEAKER_00: It's the influences and impulses from the wrong spirits that control you through the weak.
52:23
SPEAKER_00: So I gotta preach it out.
52:27
SPEAKER_00: And if I don't, I'm done.
52:31
unknown: Right.
52:33
unknown: That's right.
52:35
SPEAKER_00: But as long as I have the mental, I will preach.
52:40
SPEAKER_00: You gotta accept that, people.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm not a mama called individual here.
52:48
SPEAKER_00: And so Satan cannot join the church.
52:51
SPEAKER_00: Shot amen.
52:52
SPEAKER_00: Demons are not welcome.
52:54
SPEAKER_00: Say amen.
52:55
SPEAKER_00: Sinners, yes, but they've got to get rid of the demons.
52:58
SPEAKER_00: One way or the other.
53:00
SPEAKER_00: Sinners are not upset in the congregation of the righteous.
53:02
SPEAKER_00: That's what the Bible says.
53:05
SPEAKER_00: Now, the next thing, if Satan can't get you to disbelieve the church, scriptures for the church, I should say.
53:18
SPEAKER_00: Let me rephrase that.
53:19
SPEAKER_00: If Satan cannot get you to doubt God's word, everybody says he can't do that.
53:28
unknown: Okay.
53:29
SPEAKER_00: So now the devil will tell you what it means.
53:34
SPEAKER_00: He will interpret the scripture for you.
53:37
SPEAKER_00: After all, you need his help.
53:40
SPEAKER_00: I don't need a devil's help.
53:44
SPEAKER_00: But he'll tell you what it means.
53:47
SPEAKER_00: Through a false problem.
53:50
SPEAKER_00: No am I.
53:52
SPEAKER_00: Now, if God rejects, if a person rejects God's plan of salvation, the devil will provide many ways of salvation.
54:01
SPEAKER_00: Now I'm getting down to where we're living in America.
54:05
SPEAKER_00: Oh, there's many ways to God.
54:07
SPEAKER_00: No, there's not.
54:10
SPEAKER_00: One way.
54:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm better close with this.
54:15
SPEAKER_00: John 14, 6.
54:17
SPEAKER_00: Look at it now.
54:20
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
54:24
SPEAKER_00: For me to stand here in lie to people and tell them there are many ways to God, that includes law keeping, other religions, or any other message.
54:42
SPEAKER_00: Paul said, if a man come to preach another cross, another message, etc., etc.
54:47
SPEAKER_00: Galatians, he said, let him go to hell.
54:52
SPEAKER_00: Jesus said, everybody said, Jesus said.
54:55
SPEAKER_00: Now, folks, our faith is right here now.
54:57
SPEAKER_00: This is where it's got to stay.
54:59
SPEAKER_00: He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the Father but by me or through me.
55:13
SPEAKER_00: That's enough you can't take anymore.
55:16
SPEAKER_00: So here's the deal, and I know this is rough, and it upsets people.
55:21
SPEAKER_00: Religious people upset them crazy.
55:23
SPEAKER_00: Crazily.
55:24
SPEAKER_00: A drunk?
55:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you're right.
55:27
SPEAKER_00: Religious person, what spirit is that?
55:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
55:35
SPEAKER_00: Religious spirits are not from God.
55:40
SPEAKER_00: No.
55:43
SPEAKER_00: Jesus said he was the only way to get to the Father.
55:46
SPEAKER_00: The only way to heaven, basically.
55:51
SPEAKER_00: For me to tell you there's another way is a lie.
55:58
SPEAKER_00: The church is not the way.
56:01
SPEAKER_00: Rule keeping is not the way.
56:04
SPEAKER_00: Being a good old boy is not the way.
56:07
SPEAKER_00: Giving your body to be burned without love is not the way.
56:12
SPEAKER_00: Doing many wonderful works is not the way.
56:17
SPEAKER_00: The cross is the only way to be saved.
56:21
SPEAKER_00: That's it, period.
56:23
SPEAKER_00: Without the death, burial, and resurrection of a Savior.
56:28
SPEAKER_00: There's no hope.
56:30
SPEAKER_00: Because He's the only one that can pay the price for our sinfulness, which He did at Calvary.
56:38
SPEAKER_00: Number four is a dumb deal to all those that believe we have authority to walk in, we have authority over the devil, and we can control our human nature.
56:48
SPEAKER_00: The sin nature is dominant, crucified.
56:52
SPEAKER_00: We can walk in minister life.
56:53
SPEAKER_00: Why in the world do we act like who God says we are?
57:01
SPEAKER_00: It's time for a big change.
57:03
SPEAKER_00: It's time for everybody here to get on board to the vision.
57:08
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
57:08
SPEAKER_00: And if you can't go along with the pastor's vision, you're in the wrong church.
57:14
SPEAKER_00: You might as well get out now.
57:16
SPEAKER_00: God will send me in some more to take your place.
57:18
SPEAKER_00: You're expendable.
57:22
unknown: That's right.
57:23
unknown: Yep, good.
57:25
SPEAKER_00: Am I preaching alright?
57:27
unknown: Yes, yes, sir.
57:29
SPEAKER_00: You know I love everybody.
57:32
SPEAKER_00: I have no time for foolishness.
57:34
SPEAKER_00: I've lived too many years.
57:36
SPEAKER_00: We don't have that much time left on this earth.
57:39
SPEAKER_00: We've got to get it ready to leave and begin on fire for God and build the kingdom of God just like he wants.
57:54
SPEAKER_00: There's souls in the balance, there's souls at stake.
58:01
SPEAKER_00: And it's up to us to come together in one accord.
58:04
SPEAKER_00: I said, us, all of us here that's listening to me.
58:09
SPEAKER_00: It's up to us to come together in the spirit of love and holiness and the grace of God Almighty.
58:17
SPEAKER_00: And walk this straight and narrow road together.
58:19
SPEAKER_00: Because after all, when we get to heaven, guess what?
58:23
SPEAKER_00: Sister Sally's going to be next door to you.
58:27
SPEAKER_00: Right.
58:32
SPEAKER_00: The person that you despise in this church might live right next door to you for eternity.
58:41
SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that be something?
58:45
SPEAKER_00: God has a sense of humor.
58:46
SPEAKER_00: I mean so we might as well just love everybody.
58:56
SPEAKER_00: Let's stand up today.
58:57
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
58:58
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for listening, Tammy.
58:59
SPEAKER_00: Ranting and raven one more Sunday.
59:00
SPEAKER_00: Well, you're off tonight.
59:02
SPEAKER_00: Watch the ball game.
59:03
SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
59:03
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
59:07
SPEAKER_00: Nobody's gonna watch the ball game.
59:08
SPEAKER_00: I think I might try.
59:11
SPEAKER_00: I couldn't get the TV.
59:15
SPEAKER_00: The clouds were in the wrong.
59:17
SPEAKER_00: It was fading in and out, you know.
59:21
SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
59:23
SPEAKER_00: Alright?
59:24
SPEAKER_00: From this stage forward, we're gonna walk in the grace of God, and we're gonna listen and hone our ability into the inward witness and the Holy Ghost Himself, aren't we?
59:34
SPEAKER_00: When Satan lies to us, shut up, devil, I'm going by the word of God.
59:39
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
59:40
SPEAKER_00: That's all you gotta do.
59:42
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
59:44
SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
59:45
SPEAKER_00: Walk into victory today and enjoy this time you're not in the grave out there somewhere.
59:51
SPEAKER_00: Glory to God.
59:52
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
59:53
SPEAKER_00: We're alive and well.
59:59
SPEAKER_01: Thank you for listening to the Zion Word Ministries International Podcast.
1:00:03
SPEAKER_01: Break today's message to faith and closer to the heart of God.
