  YOUR SPIRIT, O GOD. POUR OUT YOUR COMPASSION AND YOUR MERCY.
• 13:58
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 14:01
  POUR OUT YOUR HEART OVER THE PEOPLE, O LORD. RELEASE YOUR
• 14:07
  SPIRIT IN ABUNDANCE OVER THE PEOPLE, OVER THE CITY, AND OVER
• 14:13
  THIS NATION, OH GOD. WE ARE CRYING OUT, NOT JUST FOR AN
• 14:18
  ENCOUNTER, NOT JUST FOR A VISITATION, BUT FOR A DWELLING
• 14:23
  OF YOUR PRESENCE, OH LORD. LET THIS BE THE HOUR OF
• 14:28
  YOUR DOMINION TAKE OVER. POUR IT OUT.
• 14:34
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 14:39
  - WE COMMAND THE SPIRIT OF DELAY TO BE
• 14:43
  LOOSED OVER THE PEOPLE NOW. WE SAY THAT THIS IS PROPHESIED
• 14:49
  THE DECADE OF DIFFERENCE. SO WE ARE STEPPING INTO
• 14:52
  SOMETHING NEW. WE ARE STEPPING INTO
• 14:55
  SOMETHING NOW. NOW, NO MORE DELAY. WE SAY THAT
• 15:00
  THE PRAYERS OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT RIGHT NOW, THAT
• 15:03
  THERE ARE SOME OF YOU IN THIS ROOM AND THERE'S SOME OF YOU
• 15:06
  WATCHING ONLINE THAT YOU HAVE HAD PRAYERS, YOU'VE HAD THINGS
• 15:09
  YOU'VE BEEN BELIEVING FOR IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. YOU KNOW,
• 15:12
  WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING AS A NATION GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF
• 15:15
  THIS DECADE, BUT IT WAS PROPHESIED FROM THIS MINISTRY
• 15:20
  THAT THIS WAS A DECADE OF DIFFERENCE. THAT MEANS NOT JUST
• 15:23
  IN AMERICA, BUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. CLAIM THAT RIGHT NOW. YOU
• 15:29
  KNOW, I WAS LED TO 2 CHRONICLES 20, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT
• 15:35
  JEHOSHAPHAT AND THE ARMY. IT SAID, "IF THEY STOOD FIRM ON THE
• 15:39
  LORD THEIR GOD, WATCH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM." AND IT
• 15:42
  SAID, "BELIEVE YOUR PROPHETS." AND NOTICE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN
• 15:46
  THEY DECLARED AND THEY SANG, JUST LIKE WE WERE TALKING AND
• 15:50
  SINGING JUST NOW AND DECLARING THE DECLARATION. THE ARMY OF, IS
• 15:55
  IT AMMON AND MOAB, TURNED AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEY
• 15:58
  KILLED EACH OTHER. GOD DELIVERED THE
• 16:02
  NATION, AMEN? GOD DELIVERED, ALL THEY
• 16:06
  HAD TO DO WAS DECLARE. THEY HAD TO SING. LOOK AT JERICHO, THEY
• 16:11
  MARCHED AROUND. SEVEN DAYS, BUT ONCE A DAY FOR SIX DAYS. YOU
• 16:17
  THINK THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE IN THERE LIKE, ARE WE IN THE LINE
• 16:20
  OF FIRE HERE? HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO ALSO SIT AROUND AND
• 16:24
  SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, AM I IN THE LINE OF FIRE? THE BATTLE LOOKS
• 16:28
  TOUGH, BUT WE HAVE TO TRUST THE LORD. THOSE SOLDIERS PROBABLY
• 16:32
  THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN, THEY MIGHT HAVE SPEARS, THEY
• 16:34
  MIGHT HAVE ARROWS, BUT THEY MARCHED AROUND, THEY TOOK THE
• 16:38
  RISK, THEY TRUSTED THE VOICE OF GOD. GOD MOVES IN INCREDIBLE
• 16:43
  WAYS, WE NEED TO LEARN TO TRUST HIS VOICE. SOMETIMES PROPHECY
• 16:47
  DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, BUT WHEN YOU STAND IN THE GAP AND SAY, "NO,
• 16:52
  I'M GONNA BELIEVE THE PROPHETS "AND THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS."
• 16:57
  JUST LIKE JESUS DID IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, HE
• 17:00
  BELIEVED WHAT ISAIAH 53 SAID. AT FIRST IT WAS, "LET THIS CUP PASS
• 17:06
  FROM ME "IF ALL POSSIBLE," BUT THEN HE SAID, "NO, NOT MY WILL
• 17:10
  BE DONE, YOUR WILL BE DONE." AND A NATION AND THE WORLD WAS
• 17:14
  SAVED, OKAY? WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AMERICA WILL BE SAVED
• 17:18
  WHEN WE BELIEVE THE PROPHETS. WHEN WE START DECLARING OVER
• 17:23
  OURSELVES, GUESS WHAT, JUST LIKE IN 2 CHRONICLES 20, OH, DO YOU
• 17:28
  THINK MAYBE HELL COULD FIGHT AGAINST ITSELF? WHERE HELL, THE
• 17:32
  GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL. AND GUESS WHAT? WE CAN CONFUSE
• 17:36
  THE ENEMY'S CAMP WITH OUR DECLARATION. AMEN. AMEN, THAT'S
• 17:41
  WHY, YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMETIMES, DON'T PRAY IN ENGLISH, GET IN
• 17:46
  THE SPIRIT AND PRAY IN TONGUES. PRAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE. LET'S
• 17:49
  TAKE A SECOND, JUST PRAY IN THE SPIRIT TOGETHER. COME ON,
• 17:52
  THIS IS STRATEGIC, THIS IS STRATEGIC.
• 17:55
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 18:10
  COME ON, YOUR PRAYERS ARE GETTING ANSWERED, I'M TELLING
• 18:13
  YOU, THERE'S SOME OF YOU THAT ARE STILL UNBELIEVING FOR YOUR
• 18:15
  VICTORY. GOING BACK TO 2020, YOUR VICTORY'S COMING, COME ON.
• 18:20
  PRAY IN THE SPIRIT, PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.
• 18:22
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 18:38
  - CAN YOU GUYS PULL UP EXODUS 34:5-6?
• 18:42
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 18:47
  THIS IS JUST A REMINDER. I FEEL LED TO REMIND PEOPLE. PASTOR
• 18:51
  MATT WAS TALKING ABOUT 2020 AND SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT
• 18:54
  WAS, 2020 WAS AN INTERESTING YEAR BECAUSE MANY OF YOU LOST
• 18:59
  LOVED ONES. MAYBE YOU LOST A JOB OR A CAREER. MAYBE THERE WAS
• 19:04
  FRIENDS THAT YOU LOST. THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT SHIFTED AND IT
• 19:09
  WASN'T NECESSARILY GOOD. BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED AFTER 2020 AS
• 19:14
  WE'VE HEADED INTO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. AND I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF
• 19:17
  PEOPLE HAVE CARRIED A SPIRIT OF DOUBT,
• 19:20
  A SPIRIT OF, “WELL, HERE WE GO AGAIN.”
• 19:23
  - SAY THIS, COME ON.
• 19:24
  - A SPIRIT OF, “WELL, I HOPE SO."
• 19:27
  - YEAH.
• 19:28
  - SO I FELT LED TONIGHT WITH PASTOR MATT TO REMIND YOU OF WHO
• 19:31
  GOD IS. BECAUSE JUST A SIMPLE MESSAGE, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE
• 19:36
  DEALING WITH SOMETHING, MAYBE YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CYCLE
• 19:38
  THAT YOU ARE BELIEVING THAT IS GONNA BE BROKEN, AND IT IS. GOD
• 19:43
  LOVES YOU. HE'S FOR YOU. AND HE IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS WORKING ON
• 19:51
  YOUR BEHALF. EXODUS 34:5. "AND THE LORD DESCENDED IN THE
• 19:55
  CLOUD AND STOOD WITH HIM THERE AND
• 19:56
  PROCLAIMED THE NAME OF THE LORD."
• 19:58
  VERSE 6. "AND THE LORD PASSED BY BEFORE HIM AND PROCLAIMED, THE
• 20:01
  LORD, THE LORD GOD, MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS." THE NLT SAYS,
• 20:06
  "YAHWEH, THE LORD, GOD OF COMPASSION AND MERCY. I AM SLOW
• 20:14
  TO ANGER AND FILLED WITH UNFAILING LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS
• 20:20
  FOR A THOUSAND GENERATIONS." THAT NUMBER 1,000, IT'S NOT JUST
• 20:25
  A NUMBER THAT YOU GLAZE OVER. WHAT IT REPRESENTS IS THE
• 20:30
  PERFECTED FULLNESS TO COMPLETION OF WHAT GOD SAYS. SO WHAT AM I
• 20:37
  SAYING? DON'T LOOK BACK AT 2020. SHIFT YOUR FRAME OF REFERENCE TO
• 20:43
  WHAT GOD HAS SAID IN EXODUS 34:5-6. AND RIGHT NOW, IN THE
• 20:49
  LAST COUPLE MINUTES WE HAVE HERE, I WANNA BE ABLE TO PRAY
• 20:52
  FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JUST BELIEVING FOR A CYCLE TO BE
• 20:55
  BROKEN. MAYBE YOU'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, PASTOR, THAT'S ME.
• 20:58
  I'VE HAD SOME THINGS THAT I'VE CARRIED WITH ME FROM 2020, SOME
• 21:01
  BITTERNESS, MAYBE SOME SORROW. COME DOWN TO THE FRONT, WE'LL
• 21:04
  PRAY FOR YOU REAL QUICK. BUT WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GONNA BREAK
• 21:08
  SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. DON'T BE SHY, COME ON, COME ON.
• 21:11
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 21:13
  THIS IS YOUR MOMENT. EDDIE WAS JUST SINGING. SOMETHING IS
• 21:16
  SHIFTING IN THE ATMOSPHERE. IT'S SHIFTING, IT'S SHIFTING.
• 21:22
  BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW AND TRUST AND STOP QUESTIONING GOD'S
• 21:26
  CHARACTER, AMEN? PASTOR MATT, I'M GONNA GO PRAY DOWN
• 21:28
  THERE WITH THE PEOPLE. WOULD YOU MIND PRAYING OVER THE VIEWERS
• 21:32
  AND THE E-MEMBERS? 'CAUSE I FEEL THIS ONLINE TOO.
• 21:34
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 21:35
  - COME ON, LET'S PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.

• 21:42
  WE DECLARE RIGHT NOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, WE
• 21:46

• 23:45
  (MUSIC)
• 24:17
  - WELL, GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. ARE WE
• 24:19
  READY TO SEE A FEW MORE CHAINS GET BROKEN? ARE WE READY TO
• 24:24
  CONTINUE TO LEARN WHAT THE LORD HAS FOR US? THAT'S A YES OR NO
• 24:30
  QUESTION. YES, YES. WELL, I'M GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT WITH
• 24:34
  YOU ABOUT GIVING. THIS IS TONIGHT'S OFFERING MESSAGE AND
• 24:36
  I'M JUST GOING TO SHARE THREE SIMPLE SCRIPTURES, BUT I THINK
• 24:39
  THERE'S PROBABLY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM AND THERE MIGHT EVEN BE
• 24:41
  PEOPLE ONLINE THAT LIKE ME IN THE PAST HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE
• 24:45
  EVERYTHING OUT. AND THERE'S SOME THINGS ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
• 24:49
  AND HOW HIS WORD WORKS, THAT ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN UNLOCK
• 24:53
  THOSE TRUTHS. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT TONIGHT. AND YOU'RE
• 24:56
  READY TO HAVE SOME FUN. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN WITH THIS. I'M
• 25:00
  GOING TO SHARE A SCRIPTURE FROM NEHEMIAH, I'M NOT GOING TO GO
• 25:02
  INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS SCRIPTURE. BUT
• 25:05
  THIS IS WHEN NEHEMIAH I THINK IN THE LAST YEAR OR PROBABLY THE
• 25:08
  LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS, WE'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT NEHEMIAH AND
• 25:11
  HIM REBUILDING THE WALL AND HOW THAT PARALLELS WHAT'S GOING ON
• 25:14
  IN OUR COUNTRY AND AROUND OUR WORLD. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS
• 25:18
  OUR STRENGTH IS HOW THIS SCRIPTURE ENDS. AND I JUST WANT
• 25:21
  TO READ IT REAL BRIEFLY. "AND NEHEMIAH CONTINUED," IN NEHEMIAH
• 25:24
  8:10, "GO AND CELEBRATE WITH THE FEAST OF RICH FOODS AND SWEET
• 25:29
  DRINKS AND SHARE THE GIFTS OF FOOD WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE
• 25:32
  NOTHING PREPARED." THERE'S A SERMON IN THAT RIGHT THERE.
• 25:36
  "THIS IS A SACRED DAY BEFORE THE LORD," THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
• 25:40
  THIS LAST PART. "DON'T BE DEJECTED AND SAD, FOR THE JOY
• 25:44
  OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH." THE JOY OF
• 25:46
  THE LORD. WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO JOY
• 25:48
  IN A FEW SECONDS. I WANT TO TIE ANOTHER CONCEPT TO
• 25:51
  THIS, AND IT'S CHILDLIKE FAITH. LIKE I SAID, WHEN I STARTED, FOR
• 25:56
  ME PERSONALLY, OVER THE YEARS, WHEN LIFE WAS BUSY, AND I WAS
• 25:59
  TRYING TO CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER, AND I HAD CHILDREN IN
• 26:02
  SCHOOL, TASHA AND I WERE RAISING OUR KIDS, I LET THE BUSYNESS OF
• 26:06
  LIFE TAKE OVER MY BRAIN. AND I HAD TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT.
• 26:10
  CHILDLIKE FAITH FROM MATTHEW 18:1-4, EXCUSE ME. “ABOUT THAT
• 26:17
  TIME, THE DISCIPLES CAME TO JESUS AND ASKED, WHO IS GREATEST
• 26:21
  IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? SO JESUS IS SITTING WITH HIS
• 26:24
  DISCIPLES, AND THEY ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION. WE'VE PROBABLY
• 26:27
  ALL HEARD THAT, BUT I WANNA BRING THAT BACK RIGHT NOW. JESUS
• 26:30
  CALLED A LITTLE CHILD TO HIM AND PUT THE CHILD AMONG THEM.” SO
• 26:34
  PICTURE THAT IN YOUR MIND. HERE'S JESUS, OUR SAVIOR, OUR
• 26:37
  LORD, AND HIS 12 CHOSEN PEOPLE, HIS 12 CHOSEN APOSTLES,
• 26:42
  DISCIPLES, EXCUSE ME. AND JESUS GRABS A SMALL CHILD TO MAKE A
• 26:46
  POINT. THEN JESUS SAID TO THEM, I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNLESS YOU
• 26:51
  TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL
• 26:55
  NEVER GET INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. CHILDLIKE FAITH. MY
• 27:00
  BRAIN SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT. THOSE
• 27:02
  LITTLE CHILDREN, WE'VE GOT SOME SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS ROOM.
• 27:04
  THERE MIGHT EVEN BE SOME SMALL CHILDREN ONLINE THAT ARE SITTING
• 27:07
  THERE WITH YOU. SO ANYONE WHO BECOMES, JESUS CONTINUED, SO
• 27:11
  ANYONE WHO BECOMES AS HUMBLE AS THIS LITTLE CHILD IS THE
• 27:15
  GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. I'M GONNA PLAY A BRIEF
• 27:19
  VIDEO FOR YOU. WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME JOY IN THE ROOM AND I'M
• 27:22
  GONNA TIE THIS ALL TOGETHER WITH THE
• 27:24
  LAST SCRIPTURE. PLEASE PLAY THE VIDEO.
• 27:26
  - THIS MORNING WE HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS HIS SAVIOR AND AS HIS
• 27:31
  LORD AND HE WILL DEMONSTRATE HIS FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
• 27:36
  BY WILLINGLY BEING BAPTIZED THIS MORNING. HE'S BEEN WAITING ON
• 27:40
  THIS DAY A LONG TIME. AND SO, JORDAN, UPON THE PROFESSION OF
• 27:45
  YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I NOW BAPTIZE YOU IN THE
• 27:50
  NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON.
• 27:52
  - I'LL DO IT!
• 27:53
  - AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 27:55
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 28:04
  - SO I DON'T THINK JORDAN COULD HAVE MADE MORE CLEAR WHAT
• 28:09
  CHILDLIKE FAITH IS ALL ABOUT. AND LITERALLY JUST GIVING IT TO
• 28:13
  GOD. IF YOU COULDN'T HEAR HIM AS THE PASTOR WAS ABOUT TO BAPTIZE
• 28:17
  HIM, HE SAID, "I'LL DO IT." AND HE DOVE RIGHT IN. WITH THE
• 28:24
  OFFERING INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN AND THE USHERS IN THE
• 28:26
  AISLE, I'M JUST GONNA READ THIS LAST SCRIPTURE, IT WON'T BE UP
• 28:29
  ON THE BOARD. GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER. SO LET'S TIE ALL
• 28:35
  THIS TOGETHER TONIGHT. LET'S BREAK CHAINS ACROSS THIS ROOM
• 28:39
  AND ACROSS THE GLOBE AS YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS MESSAGE. 2
• 28:43
  CORINTHIANS 9:7 SAYS, "YOU MUST EACH DECIDE IN YOUR HEART HOW TO
• 28:47
  GIVE." HOW MUCH TO GIVE, EXCUSE ME. "AND DON'T GIVE RELUCTANTLY
• 28:51
  OR IN RESPONSE TO ANY PRESSURE, FOR GOD LOVES A PERSON WHO
• 28:55
  CHEERFULLY GIVES." THAT'S TONIGHT'S MESSAGE. REMEMBER
• 28:59
  JORDAN IN YOUR FAITH. REMEMBER TO LIVE LIKE THAT SMALL CHILD
• 29:03
  AND JUST TRUST GOD. I'M GONNA LIFT US UP IN PRAYER RIGHT NOW.
• 29:08
  LORD, I THANK YOU FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITHIN THE SOUND
• 29:11
  OF MY VOICE. GOD, AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND
• 29:14
  YOUR ANOINTING THAT DESTROYS EVERY YOKE. FOR EVERY PERSON OUT
• 29:18
  THERE, LORD, THAT STRIVES TO FIGURE IT OUT, I PRAY THAT THIS
• 29:22
  SIMPLE VIDEO AND THIS LITTLE BOY, JORDAN, WHO DOVE INTO THAT
• 29:26
  BAPTISMAL, LORD, WILL BE A CONSTANT REMINDER TO US TO HAVE
• 29:31
  CHILDLIKE FAITH AND THAT THE WORDS OF JESUS TO HIS DISCIPLES,
• 29:36
  BUT AT THINKING AND BELIEVING AS A CHILD, WE CAN BECOME THE
• 29:40
  GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. LORD, I ASK YOU TO
• 29:43
  MULTIPLY THIS OFFERING. LORD, MULTIPLY IT BACK TO PEOPLE A
• 29:47
  HUNDREDFOLD AS THEY GIVE TO YOU AND GIVE UNTO YOUR KINGDOM.
• 29:51
  LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
• 29:54
  WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE, LORD, AND WE ASK THAT
• 29:57
  YOU WOULD RETURN THAT TO US RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
• 30:03
  - THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOB, AMEN, AMEN. MAN, I LOVE SEEING VIDEOS
• 30:08
  LIKE THAT WITH LITTLE KIDS HUNGRY IN THE SPIRIT, AMEN. THAT
• 30:11
  CHILDLIKE FAITH, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE THAT. BUT SPEAKING
• 30:15
  OF THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE READY FOR OTH THIS
• 30:19
  COMING SEPTEMBER? COME ON, COME ON, COME ON. I THINK WE CAN DO
• 30:24
  ANOTHER ONE. ARE YOU EXCITED FOR OTH? THERE YOU GO, THAT'S
• 30:29
  BETTER. AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE AND YOU HAVE REGISTERED,
• 30:33
  PLEASE COMMENT. IF YOU HAVE NOT, THIS IS THE TIME. AND SHARE THAT
• 30:38
  WITH SOMEBODY TOO. GUYS, YOU KNOW, PASTORS SEND THEIR
• 30:41
  GREETINGS, BUT HERE'S THE THING. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS OTH IS
• 30:46
  GONNA BE A PIVOTAL THING FOR US, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE WORKED
• 30:50
  AND PRAYED SO HARD FOR THE SHIFTING, THE CHANGE, OKAY, THE
• 30:56
  NEW REGIME CHANGE, OKAY, GETTING PRESIDENT TRUMP BACK IN OFFICE,
• 31:02
  BUT IT DOESN'T JUST STOP THERE, OKAY. COMPLACENCY SEASON'S OVER,
• 31:06

• 31:24
  YOU GUYS THAT THEY'RE GONNA REALLY MINISTER IN HEALING, AND
• 31:27
  THAT'S NOT JUST FOR THIS NATION, BUT FOR THOSE IN THE ROOM, YOU
• 31:33
  AND YOUR PERSONAL LIVES, WATCHING ACROSS THE WORLD IN

  THIS ROOM, OKAY? WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A BATTLE. THAT'S WHY
• 31:41
  WHAT WE JUST DID UP HERE IN THAT TRANSITION, PASTOR ANTHONY,

  THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRAYERS OF A NATION AND THE
• 31:49
  PRAYERS OF A PEOPLE THAT WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR FOR A WHILE
• 31:53
  NOW. 2019, 2020, OKAY? HERE'S THE THING. DON'T LOOK BACK AT
• 32:02
  THE OLD TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, BUT ALSO DON'T FORGET YOUR
• 32:06
  PRAYERS AND THE THINGS YOU'RE STANDING FOR, AND LOSE HOPE AND
• 32:08
  LOSE FAITH, OKAY? AND I BELIEVE HEALING IS COMING TO THIS
• 32:13
  NATION, AND I BELIEVE HEALING IS COMING TO YOU PERSONALLY. AND WE
• 32:17
  NEED TO SORT OF GRADUATE NOW TO LISTEN. HOW BAD DO WE WANT THE
• 32:22
  NEXT MOVE OF GOD, OKAY? I DON'T WANNA BE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
• 32:27
  WHERE I JUST STOPPED AFTER THE RED SEA AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
• 32:30
  TO DO FOR 40 YEARS. AND I JUST STAYED IN NEUTRAL, KINDA JUST
• 32:36
  HAD GENERATIONS COME AND GO, BE LOST. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CYCLE
• 32:42
  TO ME. AND I BELIEVE THAT OTH 2025, SEPTEMBER 11TH THROUGH THE
• 32:49
  14TH IS GONNA SHIFT SOMETHING AND START BREAKING CYCLES IN
• 32:53
  THIS NATION AND IN YOUR LIFE. AMEN. SO IF YOU ARE NOT, LET ME

  SEE A SHOW OF HANDS. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE REGISTERED? HOW MANY OF
• 33:01
  YOU ARE REGISTERED? OKAY, IF YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED, NOW IS
• 33:05
  THE TIME. AND I'M GONNA BEG THE QUESTION TO YOU IN THIS ROOM
• 33:08
  THAT DIDN'T RAISE YOUR HANDS AND THOSE ONLINE THAT MAYBE YOU

  PASTOR DOUG COMES. MY QUESTION TO YOU GUYS IN THIS ROOM AND
• 33:29
  THOSE ONLINE IS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? HOW BAD DO YOU WANT THE
• 33:33
  PRESENCE OF GOD AND THOSE THINGS YOU'VE BEEN STANDING FOR THAT
• 33:35
  JUST MAYBE HAVEN'T COME QUITE YET, BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE. AND
• 33:41
  YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. YOU'VE BEEN
• 33:44
  STANDING FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS NOW AND YOU WANT THAT
• 33:49
  SHIFT. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? GET REGISTERED
• 33:52
  TODAY AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE ARENA, AMEN.
• 33:55
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 33:58
  - THANK YOU, PASTOR MATT.
• 33:58
  - ABSOLUTELY.
• 33:59
  - YES, GOD BLESS YOU. HALLELUJAH. GOD IS GOOD.
• 34:07
  OH, I GOT A TABLE TONIGHT. I CAN, I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE
• 34:11
  DINNER HERE TONIGHT WHILE WE'RE, THANK YOU, LES. YEAH, I'VE GOT
• 34:16
  DINNER AND LET'S SEE, WE GOT ALL KINDS OF GOOD STUFF TONIGHT, SO
• 34:20
  WE'LL JUST SEE WHAT WE CAN PULL OUT OF THE BAG THERE TONIGHT.
• 34:25
  YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA DO THINGS A LITTLE
• 34:27
  DIFFERENT. IT'S OKAY TO CHANGE IT UP, RIGHT?
• 34:30
  - YEAH.
• 34:31
  - AND YOU GUYS ARE THE SELECT FEW THAT CHOSE TO COME SEE, AND
• 34:34
  IT MAY BE A FLOP AND IT MAY WORK, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK
• 34:38
  YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ANYWAY IN ADVANCE. PRAISE GOD. WELL, LAST
• 34:43
  WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT, OH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS, PASTORS ARE
• 34:48
  HAVING A GREAT TIME ON VACATION, AND THANK YOU FOR JUST PRAYING
• 34:52
  FOR THEM AND BEING WITH THEM HERE TO SUPPORT THIS MINISTRY
• 34:58
  WHILE THEY'RE OUT, BECAUSE THEY DESERVE A BREAK. I MEAN, IF YOU
• 35:01
  THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THEY DO, THE PROGRAMMING, THE PULLS
• 35:06
  ON THEM, THE PULLS THAT WE DON'T EVEN ALWAYS KNOW ABOUT THAT COME
• 35:10
  IN THE NIGHT AND OFF HOURS, AND IT'S CONTINUAL. SO THANK YOU FOR
• 35:15
  YOUR PRAYERS. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THEM THE GRACE TO BE
• 35:18
  ABLE TO HAVE THAT BREAK, 'CAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE ENJOYING THAT,
• 35:21
  AND THEY JUST NEED THAT EXTENDED TIME SOMETIMES TO DO IT.
• 35:25
  SOMETIMES YOU TAKE A WEEK OF VACATION. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW
• 35:28
  YOU TAKE A WEEK, AND ABOUT THE TIME YOU KIND OF GET RELAXED AND
• 35:30
  READY, THEN IT'S GONE AND YOU'RE BACK. SO GIVING THEM THAT PERIOD
• 35:35
  OF TIME, A LOT OF DENOMINATIONS OFFER THEIR PASTORS A SABBATICAL
• 35:38
  TIME WHERE THEY ACTUALLY GO AWAY FOR, I DON'T KNOW, A FEW MONTHS
• 35:43
  SOMETIMES, AND JUST TO GET WITH THE LORD, SO I THINK, AND BE
• 35:47
  REFRESHED, SO THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT. BUT LAST
• 35:50
  WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT ZECHARIAH 4:6. WE DISCUSSED THE VISION
• 35:56
  THAT ZECHARIAH HAD AND HE PASSED THAT ON TO ZERUBBABEL TO HELP
• 36:02
  HIM IN BUILDING OR REBUILDING THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM. AND IT
• 36:06
  WAS A BIG FEAT AND IT WAS A DISCOURAGING TASK FOR HIM AND
• 36:11
  ISRAEL, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. SO IT WAS A TREMENDOUS VISION AND
• 36:16
  PROPHETIC WORD AND THAT WAS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY
• 36:21
  SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD. SO THE LORD OF HOSTS THAT IS ACTUALLY.
• 36:27
  SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE POINT WE WERE TRYING TO MAKE IN FROM THAT
• 36:30
  WHOLE SCRIPTURE WAS THAT ANY WORK OF ETERNAL VALUE IS DONE BY
• 36:35
  THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND IT CANNOT
• 36:40
  BE ACCOMPLISHED BY HUMAN STRENGTH OR HUMAN RESOURCES
• 36:43
  ALONE. SO WE CONCLUDED LAST WEEK BY TALKING ABOUT THREE WAYS TO
• 36:49
  PUT ZECHARIAH 4:6 INTO PRACTICE IN OUR LIFE. WE TALKED ABOUT
• 36:53
  ACTIVELY PURSUING FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 36:58
  ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCESS IN YOUR LIFE, AND THEN SEEKING
• 37:02
  GOD'S WILL, THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WISDOM
• 37:06
  CONTINUOUSLY. SO TONIGHT'S MESSAGE, I'M GOING TO CONTINUE
• 37:10
  ON IN THE THEME OF THE POWER OF DEPENDENCY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 37:14
  AND CALL THIS PART TWO, IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES. SO I'M
• 37:18
  GOING TO STICK WITH THAT THEME, BUT I FELT THE UNCTION TO KIND
• 37:21
  OF GO BACKWARDS AND LAY SOME FOUNDATION AND BASICS CONCERNING
• 37:26
  THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES AND GAIN SOME UNDERSTANDING OF HOW
• 37:31
  GOD CREATED US IN THE BEGINNING, WHY THE SPIRIT OF MAN THAT'S
• 37:36
  WITHIN US IS KEY TO OUR CONNECTION TO THE HOLY GHOST.
• 37:40
  AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE ELEMENTAL AND MORE
• 37:43
  FOUNDATIONAL THINGS, BASIC TEACHING. BUT YOU KNOW, WE
• 37:47
  DEVELOP FAITH BY HEARING AND HEARING AND HEARING. SO
• 37:50
  SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD TO GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU
• 37:53
  ALREADY KNOW. AND MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WILL SAY, I'VE HEARD
• 37:56
  THIS BEFORE, BUT THE WORD OF GOD NEVER GETS OLD. SO SOMETIMES YOU
• 38:01
  HAVE TO GO BACKWARDS IN ORDER TO GO FORWARDS OR FORWARD. AND I'M
• 38:07
  GONNA GO BACK TO BASICS TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, MY WIFE, EILEEN,
• 38:12
  THINKS SOMETIMES THAT I GO TOO SLOW IN CERTAIN THINGS. AND SHE
• 38:17
  SAY, HURRY UP. YOU NEED TO HURRY UP AND GET THIS DONE. BUT
• 38:21
  SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO SLOW TO GO FAST. BECAUSE IF YOU GO TOO
• 38:25
  FAST AND MESS UP AND HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN, THEN YOU'RE GOING
• 38:30
  SLOWER THAN YOU WOULD'VE IF YOU'D JUST GONE SLOW AND DID IT
• 38:33
  METHODICALLY. AND I'M A VERY METHODICAL PERSON. I THINK SHE
• 38:35
  GETS TIRED OF THAT A LITTLE BIT SOMETIMES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
• 38:38
  LIKE IF I'M PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER, I'M READING THE WHOLE
• 38:41
  INSTRUCTION MANUAL FIRST, I'LL READ IT ALL, AND THEN I'LL GO
• 38:45
  BACK STEP BY STEP AND DO IT 'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA MISS A
• 38:49
  POINT WHERE SOME PEOPLE WILL JUST POUR THE PARTS OUT AND JUST
• 38:53
  START, THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE INSTRUCTIONS. SO THAT'S JUST
• 38:59
  THE DIFFERENCE THERE. THE ENGLISH AUTHOR LEWIS CARROLL
• 39:02
  SAID THIS, "THE HURRIER I GO, THE BEHINDER I GET." SO, WE'RE
• 39:10
  GONNA TAKE TIME TO GO BACK AND REVIEW SOME THINGS THAT YOU'VE
• 39:14
  LEARNED BEFORE PROBABLY, MAYBE EVEN RIGHT AS YOU BECAME A NEW
• 39:18
  CHRISTIAN. BUT IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE
• 39:21
  NATURE OF MAN AND HOW WE ARE CREATED AND THE DIFFERENCE
• 39:24
  BETWEEN THE SOUL OF MAN AND THE SPIRIT OF MAN. SO I WANNA TALK
• 39:28
  ABOUT THOSE POINTS A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT AND HOW THAT WILL BRING
• 39:32
  US TO SOME DIRECTION FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES. SO,
• 39:37
  MAN WAS CREATED BY GOD IN THREE PARTS, A BODY, A SOUL, AND A
• 39:43
  SPIRIT. IN FACT, 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23 IS A VERSE WHERE PAUL
• 39:50
  ADDRESSES THESE THREE PARTS OF MAN. HE SAYS, "NOW MAY THE GOD
• 39:56
  OF PEACE MAKE YOU HOLY IN EVERY WAY, AND MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT
• 40:01
  AND SOUL AND BODY," THREE PARTS, SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY, "BE KEPT
• 40:07
  BLAMELESS UNTIL OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST COMES AGAIN." NOW, HE
• 40:12
  ADDRESSES THOSE THREE PARTS. BUT PRIMARILY, MAN IS AN ETERNAL
• 40:18
  SPIRIT BEING. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WE POSSESS A SOUL AND LIVE
• 40:23
  WITHIN A BODY. AND IF YOU PUT UP THE NEXT SLIDE THERE, THAT KIND
• 40:27
  OF ILLUSTRATES 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23 THERE. WE SEE THE BODY,
• 40:32
  WHICH IS FLESH AND BLOOD AND BONE. AND THEN WE SEE THE SOUL,
• 40:38
  WHICH IS OUR MIND, WILL, AND EMOTION. AND THIRDLY, THE SPIRIT
• 40:42
  MAN, WHICH IS WHAT PART OF US THAT ACTUALLY COMMUNICATES OR
• 40:47
  CONNECTS WITH THE SPIRIT REALM, WITH GOD. AND THEN THE
• 40:50
  CONSCIENCE AND THE INTUITION OR THE LEADING OF GOD. PEOPLE SAY,
• 40:55
  "I FEEL LED BY MY HEART "OR I BELIEVE IN MY HEART TO DO
• 40:59
  SOMETHING." THAT'S INTUITION AND COMES FROM THE SPIRIT MAN. IT'S
• 41:02
  EASY TO DISTINGUISH OUR BODY FROM THE SPIRIT. IT'S EASY TO
• 41:05
  DISTINGUISH OUR BODY FROM OUR SOUL BECAUSE THAT'S OUR PHYSICAL
• 41:09
  PART THAT WE CAN TOUCH AND FEEL. THE BODY HAS CONTACT WITH OUR
• 41:14
  PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE REALM OF EXISTENCE. BUT THE BODY IS THE
• 41:22
  THING THAT MOST PEOPLE SPEND TIME TAKING CARE OF. THE AVERAGE
• 41:26
  PERSON IS SPENDING TIME WORKING OUT, EATING RIGHT, TAKING
• 41:31
  NUTRITION, GETTING THEIR HAIR DONE, GETTING THEIR NAILS DONE,
• 41:34
  WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BODY. MANY PEOPLE
• 41:38
  ARE FAIRLY GOOD AT TAKING CARE OF THEIR SOUL, THAT OTHER
• 41:41
  NON-MATERIAL PART THAT WE ARE CREATED WITH. THAT'S THE MIND,
• 41:45
  WILL, AND EMOTIONS. YOU CAN LEARN AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AND
• 41:50
  EXPAND YOUR MIND, AND YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD
• 41:53
  EMOTIONAL HEALTH. YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT. AND WE USE OUR
• 41:57
  SOULS TO CONNECT WITH THAT INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL REALM
• 42:00
  OF OUR EXISTENCE. WITH OUR SPIRIT, WHICH THE BIBLE ALSO
• 42:05
  CALLS THE HEART, WE CONNECT WITH THE SPIRITUAL REALM. SO THIS
• 42:09
  DIAGRAM THAT THEY'RE GONNA PUT UP NEXT KIND OF EXPLAINS THAT
• 42:15
  DIFFERENTIATION ON THE THREE PARTS OF MAN IN A LITTLE
• 42:18
  DIFFERENT WAY. YOU SEE THE BODY THERE WITH THE BRAIN, THE CELLS,
• 42:22
  OUR MINDS, THE ORGANS, NERVES, LIMBS, BONES, ALL THAT. AND THEN
• 42:26
  THE ORANGE PART BEING THE SOUL, THAT'S A CONSCIOUS MIND AND A
• 42:29
  SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. AND THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS RENEWED WHEN WE
• 42:34
  ARE SAVED. THE SPIRIT MAN COMES ALIVE, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT A
• 42:38
  SCRIPTURE ABOUT THAT, WHEN A MAN IS SAVED OR A WOMAN IS SAVED,
• 42:41
  THAT SPIRIT MAN IS DEAD UNTIL THEY ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND
• 42:46
  THEN IT BECOMES ALIVE. AND THEN THAT'S OUR WAY OF COMMUNICATING
• 42:50
  WITH GOD. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE THAT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
• 42:52
  OUR SPIRIT AS A BELIEVER IS WHERE GOD AS THE SPIRIT DWELLS.
• 42:57
  OUR SOUL IS WHERE OUR MIND, WILL, AND EMOTIONS DWELL. AND
• 43:01
  OUR BODIES IS WHERE OUR PHYSICAL SENSES DWELL. NOW, THROUGHOUT
• 43:05
  BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT, SCRIPTURES REVEAL
• 43:07
  THAT MAN HAS BEEN CREATED WITH THOSE THREE BASIC PARTS.
• 43:11
  THEOLOGIANS REFER TO THAT MAKEUP AS A TRICHOTOMOUS MAKEUP, OR
• 43:16
  DESIGN OF MAN. THE TERM TRICHOTOMOUS REFERS TO SOMETHING
• 43:20
  THAT'S DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS. AND WE SEE THIS IN GOD'S WORD
• 43:24
  EVEN FROM THE MOMENT OF MAN'S CREATION. LET'S LOOK AT GENESIS
• 43:27
  1:26-27. GOD SAID, "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, "ACCORDING TO
• 43:33
  OUR LIKENESS. "LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE
• 43:37
  SEA, "OVER THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE, "OVER ALL
• 43:39
  THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING "THAT CREEPS ON
• 43:43
  THE EARTH." SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE. IN THE IMAGE
• 43:48
  OF GOD, HE CREATED HIM, MALE AND FEMALE, HE CREATED THEM. SO HERE
• 43:53
  WE CAN SEE THAT GOD CREATED THE FIRST MAN AFTER HIS IMAGE AND
• 43:56
  LIKENESS. NOW, IN THIS HOUSE, THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS, THIS
• 44:02
  CHURCH, WE BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY OF GOD. IT'S CENTRAL AND
• 44:07
  FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE TO OUR FAITH. GOD IS ONE BEING BUT
• 44:11
  EXISTS IN THREE CO-EQUAL, CO-ETERNAL PERSONS, THE FATHER,
• 44:16
  THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND THOSE THREE PERSONS OF THE
• 44:20
  TRINITY ARE DISTINCT, BUT THEY'RE INSEPARABLE. THEY SHARE
• 44:25
  ONE DIVINE NATURE. THE TRINITY IS NOT A BELIEF IN THREE GODS,
• 44:29
  BUT RATHER ONE GOD IN THREE CO-EQUAL AND CO-ETERNAL PERSONS,
• 44:34
  EACH FULLY GOD. ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES THAT I CAN GIVE YOU ON
• 44:38
  THAT IS A PIECE OF COMMERCIAL ROPE. WE HAVE A ROPE HERE. IT'S
• 44:43
  A VERY STRONG PIECE OF ROPE. THE REASON THIS IS STRONG IS BECAUSE
• 44:47
  THIS COMMERCIAL PIECE OF ROPE HAS THREE STRANDS. MOST GOOD
• 44:53
  SOLID ROPES HAVE THREE STRANDS. AND THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF
• 44:58
  GOD, THE FATHER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE SON, ALL THREE
• 45:04
  IN ONE, WORKING TOGETHER. AND THEN WE HAVE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL
• 45:08
  PIECE OF ROPE BECAUSE ALL THREE STRANDS ARE DOING THEIR JOB. AND
• 45:12
  THE SAME THING IS TRUE ON THE HUMAN BODY, THE WAY WE WERE
• 45:14
  CREATED, BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. WE'RE A TRICHOTOMOUS BEING,
• 45:19
  BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. BUT WE'RE ALL TOGETHER IN ONE
• 45:23
  FUNCTION, WORKING TOGETHER IN THAT BODY, THROUGH THAT BODY, TO
• 45:27
  ACCOMPLISH WHAT GOD'S CALLED US TO DO. FIRST DEMONSTRATION'S
• 45:31
  OVER. YOU CAN BE THANKFUL FOR THAT. WE GOT ONE MORE.
• 45:39
  HALLELUJAH. SO GENESIS 2:7, WE CAN SEE HOW MAN WAS CREATED.
• 45:44
  "AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND AND
• 45:47
  BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE. AND MAN BECAME A
• 45:51
  LIVING SOUL." SO GOD FORMED MAN WITH THE DUST OF THE GROUND.
• 45:56
  THAT WAS THE ACT OF HIM, GOD, CREATING OUR PHYSICAL BODIES.
• 46:01
  AND THEN THE VERSE CONTINUES, "AND HE BREATHED INTO HIS
• 46:04
  NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE." BREATH IS DERIVED FROM THE
• 46:08
  HEBREW WORD “NESHAMA,” WHICH IS THE SAME WORD TRANSLATED AS
• 46:13
  SPIRIT IN PROVERBS 20:27. LET'S LOOK AT PROVERBS 20:27 REAL
• 46:18
  QUICK. "THE SPIRIT OF MAN IS THE CANDLE OF THE LORD, "SEARCHING
• 46:22
  ALL THE INWARD PARTS OF THE BELLY." SO THE SPIRIT OR THE
• 46:26
  NESHAMA OF MAN IS THE CANDLE OR THE LAMP OF THE LORD. SO WE CAN
• 46:30
  CONCLUDE THAT GOD'S BREATHING INTO MAN, THIS BREATH OF LIFE,
• 46:35
  WAS HOW GOD INSERTED HIS SPIRIT INTO MAN, INTO THE PHYSICAL
• 46:39
  BODY. GENESIS 2:7 CONCLUDES, "AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL."
• 46:44
  THERE'S THE THIRD PART RIGHT THERE. THE SPIRIT OF MAN IS THE
• 46:48
  MOST FUNDAMENTAL PART OF WHO WE ARE. MOST PEOPLE ON EARTH, LIKE
• 46:52
  I SAID, FOCUS THEIR TIME TAKING CARE OF EVERY OTHER AREA OF
• 46:55
  THEIR LIFE, BUT THEY NEGLECT THE SPIRIT MAN, THE ETERNAL ONE. OUR
• 47:00
  BODIES AGE, AND THEY'LL EVENTUALLY DIE. BUT THE SPIRIT
• 47:04
  MAN IS ETERNAL. IT'LL NEVER DIE. THERE'S A SPIRITUAL BEING INSIDE
• 47:09
  EVERY PERSON. WE WERE CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE AND LIKENESS
• 47:12
  ACCORDING TO GENESIS 1:26. AND BECAUSE OF WRONG TEACHING OR
• 47:17
  MAYBE NO TEACHING AT ALL, MANY CHRISTIANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE
• 47:20
  DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. SO WE WANT TO TALK
• 47:23
  ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT. THE FIRST THING A SINNER NEEDS
• 47:28
  IS A SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION. WHEN AN UNBELIEVER PUTS THEIR
• 47:31
  FAITH IN CHRIST, THAT DEAD SPIRIT INSIDE OF THEM IS
• 47:35
  RESURRECTED OR MADE ALIVE. WHEN A BELIEVER IS BAPTIZED IN WATER,
• 47:40
  LIKE WE SAW TONIGHT ON THE VIDEO, THAT'S A DECLARATION THAT
• 47:44
  THIS TRANSFORMATION HAS HAPPENED IN THEIR SPIRIT. THEIR SPIRIT
• 47:48
  WAS DEAD IN SIN, BUT IT'S NOW BEEN RESURRECTED TO LIFE. IN
• 47:53
  ROMANS 6:4 SAYS, "THEREFORE, WE WERE BURIED WITH HIM THROUGH
• 47:57
  BAPTISM INTO DEATH, THAT JUST AS CHRIST WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD
• 48:01
  BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, EVEN SO ALSO SHOULD WE WALK IN THE
• 48:05
  NEWNESS OF LIFE. SO WATER BAPTISM, BY IMMERSION BY THE
• 48:09
  WAY, NOT SPRINKLING, BECAUSE BAPTISM ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE
• 48:13
  GREEK WORD BAPTIZO, WHICH MEANS IMMERSION, THAT SIGNIFIES THAT
• 48:18
  THE BELIEVER HAS DIED TO THEIR OLD LIFE OF SIN AND BEEN
• 48:21
  RESURRECTED TO THAT NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. AND THE ACT OF BAPTISM
• 48:26
  IS AN OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF AN INWARD TRANSFORMATION THAT'S
• 48:31
  TAKEN PLACE IN THAT PERSON'S LIFE, LIKE THAT LITTLE BOY THAT
• 48:33
  WE SAW TONIGHT. AND THAT'S A PLUG FOR BAPTISM. BY THE WAY, ON
• 48:38
  AUGUST 24TH, WE HAVE ANOTHER BAPTISM COMING UP. SO IF YOU
• 48:42
  HAVEN'T BEEN BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION, THE BIBLICAL WAY, OR
• 48:47
  YOU'VE BEEN RECENTLY SAVED AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BAPTIZED, PLAN
• 48:50
  ON AUGUST 24TH. LET US KNOW. WE'VE HAD PEOPLE FLY IN FROM
• 48:53
  OTHER STATES THAT ARE E-MEMBERS OR WATCHING US JUST TO BE
• 48:56
  BAPTIZED HERE. AND I DON'T MEAN JUST AS IT'S INSIGNIFICANT, BUT
• 49:00
  I MEAN THEY MADE THE EFFORT TO DO IT. I THINK ONE FAMILY, IT
• 49:04
  WAS LIKE SIX PEOPLE THAT CAME AND DID THAT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT.
• 49:09
  GO TO THE INFORMATION CENTER AND SIGN UP IF YOU NEED THAT
• 49:12
  INFORMATION. AUGUST 24TH, THAT'S COMING UP. AND WE DO A LITTLE
• 49:15
  CLASS THAT MORNING AFTER THE OFFERING IS RECEIVED AND THE
• 49:19
  MAIN SERVICE WILL DISMISS YOU. AND THEN YOU CAN GO BE BAPTIZED
• 49:23
  THAT DAY. AND WE DO THAT UP IN THE SOUTH AUDITORIUM. BUT THE
• 49:26
  BIBLE TELLS US THAT UNBELIEVERS COME ALIVE IN THEIR SPIRIT WHEN
• 49:29
  THEY BECOME BELIEVERS IN CHRIST. LET'S LOOK AT THAT SCRIPTURE
• 49:33
  REALLY QUICK HERE. EPHESIANS 2:1-2. IT SAYS, I'M GONNA READ
• 49:38
  THIS OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED TONIGHT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A
• 49:41
  VERY GOOD WAY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS. AND IT SAYS,
• 49:44
  "AND YOU, HE MADE ALIVE "WHEN YOU WERE SPIRITUALLY DEAD "AND
• 49:49
  SEPARATED FROM HIM BECAUSE "OF YOUR TRANSGRESSION AND SINS. "IN
• 49:54
  WHICH YOU ONCE WALKED, "YOU WERE FOLLOWING THE WAYS OF THIS
• 49:57
  WORLD, "INFLUENCED BY THIS PRESENT AGE, "IN ACCORDANCE WITH
• 50:01
  THE PRINCE OF POWER OF THE AIR, SATAN, "THE SPIRIT WHO IS NOW AT
• 50:04
  WORK IN THE DISOBEDIENT, "THE UNBELIEVING, WHO FIGHT AGAINST
• 50:08
  THE PURPOSES OF GOD." SO THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WHEN WE COME
• 50:12
  TO CHRIST, WE RECEIVE SALVATION, WE BECOME A NEW PERSON IN THE
• 50:16
  SPIRIT. HE MAKES US ALIVE WHEN WE WERE PREVIOUSLY SPIRITUALLY
• 50:22
  DEAD. NOW WE WERE ALL BORN INTO THIS WORLD AS SINNERS. WE ALL
• 50:26
  HAVE THE SIN NATURE. OUR SPIRIT MAN BECAME NEW AND IS TOTALLY
• 50:32
  BROUGHT TO LIFE WHEN WE ACCEPT CHRIST. AND WE SEE THIS ALSO
• 50:37
  EXPLAINED IN 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17. IT SAYS, "THEREFORE, IF ANYONE
• 50:41
  IS IN CHRIST, HE'S A NEW CREATION. OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED
• 50:44
  AWAY. BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW." ANOTHER PROOF THAT
• 50:49
  YOUR SPIRIT HAS BECOME NEW AND ALIVE. THIS ISN'T TALKING ABOUT
• 50:54
  YOUR BODY. THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO LAY A FOUNDATION AND KIND OF
• 50:57
  SHOW THOSE THREE PARTS OF HOW MAN WAS CREATED. IF YOU WERE A
• 51:01
  MAN OR A WOMAN BEFORE YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST, YOU'RE STILL A
• 51:04
  MAN OR A WOMAN. YOUR BODY REMAINED THE SAME. JANET, BEFORE
• 51:08
  YOU WERE SAVED, YOU WERE A WOMAN AND YOU'RE STILL A WOMAN.
• 51:12
  DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE TRANSGENDER PUSHERS ARE SAYING
• 51:16
  ABOUT CHANGING YOUR SEX. IF YOU WERE BORN WITH MALE PARTS, EVEN
• 51:21
  AFTER YOU GOT SAVED, YOU STILL HAVE THOSE SAME MALE PARTS. SAME
• 51:25
  THING IS TRUE WITH A WOMAN. YOU STILL HAVE THAT SAME BODY. YOUR
• 51:30
  BODY DIDN'T CHANGE. GOD'S WORD SAID HE CREATED THEM MALE AND
• 51:35
  FEMALE. THERE'S NO IN-BETWEENS. IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER.
• 51:40
  HALLELUJAH. THAT WASN'T EVEN IN MY
• 51:42
  NOTES, EILEEN, BUT I THREW IT IN.
• 51:43
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 51:45
  I'M ALWAYS DOING THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE. BUT WE HAVE TO REALIZE OUR
• 51:48
  SOUL, WHICH IS THE MENTAL, EMOTIONAL PART OF US, OUR MIND,
• 51:52
  WILL, AND EMOTIONS, AGAIN, DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE
• 51:55
  EITHER. OUR SPIRIT WAS MADE ALIVE WHEN WE ACCEPTED JESUS
• 52:00
  CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR. IT BECAME NEW. BUT THAT DID NOT
• 52:04
  CHANGE OUR SOUL. THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE
• 52:08
  DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.
• 52:11
  A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT SOUL AND SPIRIT AS INTERCHANGEABLE.
• 52:14
  THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THOSE. SO YOUR
• 52:18
  SOUL IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. WE MUST RENEW OUR MINDS TO
• 52:23
  EXPERIENCE THAT CHANGE IN THE SOUL. THE MIND, WILL, AND
• 52:26
  EMOTIONS HAVE TO BE RENEWED. WE CAN LEARN TO FOLLOW THE HOLY
• 52:30
  SPIRIT'S LEADING IN OUR SPIRIT MAN BY CONTINUALLY RENEWING OUR
• 52:34
  MINDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD. ROMANS 12:2 SAYS, "AND BE NOT
• 52:39
  CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT YE BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING
• 52:43
  OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE
• 52:48
  AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD." WHEN OUR MINDS ARE BEING RENEWED WITH
• 52:53
  THE WORD, WE BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO GOD AND THE THINGS
• 52:56
  OF GOD. GOD CHANGES OUR NATURE WHEN WE'RE BORN AGAIN. EVERY
• 53:01
  BORN AGAIN BELIEVER HAS A BUILT IN DESIRE TO LIVE HOLY. IT'S
• 53:04
  PART OF US WHEN YOU ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD, IT CHANGES
• 53:08
  YOUR NATURE. YOU HAVE A DESIRE THEN TO LIVE HOLY. YOU MAY NOT
• 53:11
  KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT. YOU MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY DO IT
• 53:16
  QUICKLY. IT MAY TAKE A PERIOD OF TIME. WE'RE ALL AT DIFFERENT
• 53:19
  STAGES. BUT YOU HAVE A DESIRE. LET'S LOOK AT 1 JOHN 3:3 AND
• 53:23
  AMPLIFIED AGAIN. IT SAYS, "AND EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS HOPE
• 53:27
  CONFIDENTLY PLACED IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF JUST AS HE IS
• 53:31
  PURE, HOLY, UNDEFILED, AND GUILTLESS." SATAN IS THE ONE
• 53:36
  THAT ATTACKS AND USES DECEIT AND ANY TACTICS THAT HE CAN TO LIE
• 53:41
  TO US, CONVINCE US THAT WE SHOULD MOVE INTO SIN. SATAN'S
• 53:46
  DESIRE IS TO BRING DEATH INTO YOUR LIFE ANY WAY HE CAN.
• 53:49
  SICKNESS, DISEASE, POVERTY, SHAME, DEPRESSION,
• 53:53
  DISCOURAGEMENT, ALL SORTS OF NASTY THINGS COME ABOUT BECAUSE
• 53:57
  SATAN IS COMING TO ATTACK AND DECEIVE AND HE'S THE ONE THAT
• 54:02
  JOHN 10:10 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY. BUT WE
• 54:08
  ARE DISCERNERS OF THE TRUTH AND WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE THE DEVIL
• 54:11
  ANY OPPORTUNITY TO COME AGAINST US. WE'RE CLOSING THOSE DOORS
• 54:14
  RIGHT NOW, AMEN? NO DOORS ARE OPEN FOR THE DEVIL IN OUR LIVES,
• 54:20
  AMEN. SO BEFORE WE WERE SAVED, OUR OLD SIN NATURE PROGRAMMED
• 54:25
  OUR MINDS ON HOW TO BE SELFISH, HOW TO BE BITTER, HOW TO BE
• 54:29
  ANGRY, RESENTFUL, HOW TO MOVE INTO LUST. YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T
• 54:33
  HAVE TO TEACH A TWO-YEAR-OLD HOW TO BE SELFISH. HOW MANY OF YOU
• 54:40
  HERE HAVE A TWO-YEAR-OLD IN YOUR HOME? THEY JUST KNOW IF IT'S
• 54:43
  THEIR TOY THEY DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO PLAY WITH IT. ALL OF A
• 54:48
  SUDDEN IT BECOMES VERY PRECIOUS IF YOU TRY AND TAKE IT AWAY.
• 54:55
  WHEN WE'RE BORN AGAIN ACCORDING TO JOHN 3:3 WE BECOME TOTALLY
• 54:58
  NEW IN OUR SPIRIT. PAUL CALLED THAT THE RESURRECTION LIFE. IN
• 55:02
  ROMANS 6:5-6 HE SAID THIS, I'M GONNA READ THIS OUT OF THE NEW
• 55:05
  LIVING. “SINCE WE HAVE BEEN UNITED WITH HIM IN DEATH, WE
• 55:09
  WILL ALSO BE RAISED TO LIFE AS HE WAS. WE KNOW THAT OUR OLD
• 55:14
  SINFUL SELVES WERE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST SO THAT SIN MIGHT
• 55:18
  LOSE ITS POWER IN OUR LIVES. WE ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO SIN.” HE
• 55:24
  MENTIONS IN THE PASSAGE THAT OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED IN CHRIST.
• 55:29
  OUR SIN NATURE'S DEAD, BUT IT LEFT BEHIND A BODY, AND THAT
• 55:34
  BODY INCLUDES THE CARNAL MIND, THE SOUL. THE SOUL, OUR MIND,
• 55:39
  WILL AND EMOTION STILL FUNCTION AS IT WAS PROGRAMMED UNTIL WE
• 55:43
  REPROGRAM IT, WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS RENEWING THE MIND. WE JUST
• 55:47
  READ THAT SCRIPTURE. OUR MINDS OR OUR SOULS CAN BE COMPARED TO
• 55:50
  COMPUTERS. JARED, YOU'LL LIKE THIS ONE. JARED'S OUR COMPUTER
• 55:55
  MAN HERE. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS. BUT THEY CAN BE
• 56:00
  PROGRAMMED. AND WE GET SAVED, WE HAVE TO REPROGRAM OUR MIND, OUR
• 56:06
  WILL, AND OUR EMOTIONS. AGAIN, ROMANS 12:2, I'M GOING TO READ
• 56:10
  IT TO YOU AGAIN. "BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE
• 56:13
  TRANSFERRED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND THAT YOU MAY PROVE
• 56:17
  WHAT IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD. OUR LIVES
• 56:21
  ARE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS. AND VICTORY IN THE
• 56:26
  CHRISTIAN LIFE COMES TO US AS WE RENEW OUR MINDS AND WE
• 56:30
  UNDERSTAND WHAT CHRIST HAS REALLY DONE FOR US, WE RECEIVE
• 56:33
  IT, AND THEN WE BEGIN TO MANIFEST THE CHANGES IN OUR
• 56:37
  ACTIONS AND OUR LIVES AS WE RESPOND TO WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
• 56:42
  AND RENEWING OUR MIND WITH. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT THEN BECOMES
• 56:46
  EVIDENT IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE SEE WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST. WE BECOME
• 56:52
  LIKE HIM. SO TONIGHT, WE'VE COVERED SOME GROUND, SO I WANT
• 56:57
  TO REVIEW IT QUICKLY. I'M GOING TO PUT A SLIDE UP HERE. LET'S DO
• 57:01
  A LITTLE REVIEW. THREE PARTS OF THE CREATED MAN, BODY, SOUL, AND
• 57:06
  SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT MAN IS ETERNAL. THE SPIRIT OF MAN COMES
• 57:10
  ALIVE WHEN WE BECOME A BELIEVER. NUMBER FOUR, GOD CHANGES OUR
• 57:15
  NATURE. THE OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WHEN WE ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR.
• 57:19
  AND NUMBER FIVE, THE SOUL NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE CHANGE OR BE
• 57:22
  REPROGRAMMED OR HAVE OUR MINDS RENEWED TO EXPERIENCE A CHANGE
• 57:27
  IN THAT MIND, WILL, AND EMOTION OF OUR LIFE. NOW, I WANT TO
• 57:31
  FOCUS THE REMAINING TIME ON UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE
• 57:34
  BETWEEN THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND THE HUMAN SOUL. I PROMISE YOU I'LL
• 57:39
  GET YOU OUT OF HERE BEFORE 10 O'CLOCK. THIS WON'T TAKE THAT
• 57:42
  LONG. THIS WILL HELP US IN OUR DEPENDENCY IN THE SPIRIT. IT'LL
• 57:47
  HELP US TO DISCERN THE VOICE OF GOD SPEAKING TO OUR SPIRIT. AT
• 57:52
  TIMES, WE'VE ALL HAD THE PROBLEM OF DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE
• 57:55
  VOICE OF OUR RECREATED SPIRIT AND THE VOICE OF OUR SOUL, THE
• 58:00
  MIND, WILL, AND EMOTIONS. THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL, AS I SAID,
• 58:04
  ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES.
• 58:07
  BUT TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT GOD'S WORD CAN SEPARATE
• 58:11
  THOSE TWO ENTITIES IN OUR LIFE. AS WE BEGIN RENEWING OUR MINDS
• 58:15
  WITH GOD'S WORD, WE'LL POSITION OURSELVES TO FOLLOW OUR SPIRITS
• 58:20
  WITH CONFIDENCE IN EVERY SITUATION OF LIFE. UNDERSTANDING
• 58:24
  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOUL MAN AND THE SPIRIT MAN IS KEY TO
• 58:28
  LIVING LIFE ON THIS EARTH AND REALLY FULFILLING WHAT GOD'S
• 58:31
  CALLED US TO DO. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN DOESN'T MEAN
• 58:35
  THAT YOU WILL SUCCESSFULLY FULFILL GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR
• 58:38
  LIFE. IT DOES AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE
• 58:42
  GETS SAVED DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE GONNA FULFILL THEIR DESTINY.
• 58:46
  IT'S A CHOICE YOU HAVE TO MAKE TO MOVE ON IN THE THINGS OF GOD.
• 58:49
  IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR AND MADE
• 58:52
  HIM THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW HIM, THE SIN
• 58:56
  QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED. IT'S SETTLED AND YOU'LL GO TO HEAVEN
• 59:01
  ONE DAY. HOWEVER, IT'S POSSIBLE, AND MANY CHRISTIANS DO THIS, TO
• 59:05
  LIVE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING OR FOLLOWING GOD'S
• 59:10
  DIRECTION OR HIS PLAN FOR THEIR LIFE, AND THEY MISS THE FULL
• 59:16
  PLAN THAT GOD HAS FOR THEM. AND THERE'S PROBABLY NOTHING MORE
• 59:18
  IMPORTANT THAN FINDING OUT WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU TO DO WHILE
• 59:24
  YOU'RE ON THIS EARTH, UNDERSTAND THAT PLAN AND MOVE INTO IT. YOU
• 59:29
  HAVE A LIMITED SPACE OF TIME ON THIS EARTH. WE ALL HAVE A
• 59:33
  CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE. AND IF WE DON'T
• 59:36
  WALK OUT THE PLAN OF THE DESTINY THAT GOD HAS FOR US AND WE MISS
• 59:40
  THAT ALTOGETHER, WHAT GOOD HAVE WE BEEN? THE MOST IMPORTANT
• 59:44
  THING YOU CAN DO IS TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD. HEAR THE SPIRIT OF
• 59:47
  GOD AND MOVE IN THE DIRECTION AND THE DESTINY THAT YOU'RE
• 59:50
  CALLED TO ACHIEVE. WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. AND IT'S DIFFERENT FOR
• 59:55
  EACH ONE OF US. WHATEVER YOU'RE CALLED TO DO IS JUST AS
• 59:59
  IMPORTANT AS WHAT PASTOR HANK AND PASTOR BRENDA ARE CALLED TO
• 1:00:02
  DO. WE ALL HAVE A PART. WE'RE MOVING TOGETHER IN THIS EARTH TO
• 1:00:06
  ACCOMPLISH GOD'S WILL. OKAY. WE MENTIONED EARLIER THAT SCRIPTURE
• 1:00:13
  USES THE HEART AS A METAPHOR FOR THE NON-PHYSICAL SPIRIT PART OF
• 1:00:19
  A PERSON. IN OTHER WORDS, LOOK AT MATTHEW 5:8, YOU DON'T HAVE
• 1:00:22
  TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT, BUT IT SAYS, "BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN
• 1:00:24
  HEART, FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD." WELL, WE UNDERSTAND WHEN IT
• 1:00:28
  SAYS, "BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART," IT'S NOT REFERRING TO
• 1:00:31
  THE PHYSICAL ORGAN IN YOUR BODY THAT'S PUMPING BLOOD. IN FACT,
• 1:00:37
  THERE ARE MORE THAN 800 REFERENCES IN THE BIBLE TO A
• 1:00:40
  MAN'S HEART. AND VERY FEW OF THEM REFER TO THE PHYSICAL HEART
• 1:00:45
  IN THE BODY. MOST OF THE REFERENCES IN THE HEART THAT ARE
• 1:00:49
  IN THE BIBLE REFER TO THE UNSEEN CENTER OF MAN'S BEING, THE
• 1:00:53
  INWARD SPIRIT OR THE SPIRIT MAN. AND SO WHEN WE SAY, "LISTEN TO
• 1:00:58
  YOUR HEART," OR, "WHAT HEART ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?" EVEN IN THE
• 1:01:07
  WORLD, PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY, "I MEAN IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
• 1:01:10
  HEART." YOU'VE HEARD THAT. OR YOU'LL SAY, "THAT MAN HAS A BIG
• 1:01:14
  HEART." WELL, YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ORGAN THAT'S PUMPING
• 1:01:18
  BLOOD. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT "LISTEN TO YOUR HEART," WE'RE
• 1:01:24
  REFERRING TO LISTENING TO OUR SPIRIT, THE INWARD MAN. WHAT I'M
• 1:01:29
  TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT IS LISTENING TO OUR HEART OR OUR
• 1:01:31
  SPIRIT. AND IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS
• 1:01:37
  FOR WHICH THERE MAY BE NO SOLUTION IN THE NATURAL OR IN
• 1:01:39
  THE PHYSICAL. OUR PHYSICAL SENSES MIGHT TELL US, RUN FROM
• 1:01:44
  THAT PROBLEM. OR OUR MINDS MIGHT SAY, THERE'S NO WAY OUT. IT'S IN
• 1:01:49
  THOSE KIND OF SITUATIONS THAT WE NEED TO RECEIVE THE GUIDANCE
• 1:01:52
  FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT, HIS DIRECTION TO STAND ON GOD'S WORD
• 1:01:56
  WITHOUT WAVERING. SUCCESSFULLY FOLLOWING GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR
• 1:02:01
  LIFE DEPENDS ON WHAT WE CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO AND WE HAVE A
• 1:02:05
  CHOICE TO WHAT WE CAN LISTEN TO. WE CAN LISTEN TO OUR PHYSICAL
• 1:02:09
  SENSES OR WE CAN LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD AND THE LEADING OF
• 1:02:12
  THE HOLY SPIRIT. I MEAN, IF YOUR BACK IS BOTHERING YOU AND ACHING
• 1:02:16
  AND YOU HAVE PAIN, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THAT AND SAY, OH,
• 1:02:21
  PASTOR ANTHONY, MY BACK IS REALLY KILLING ME TODAY. I CAN
• 1:02:25
  SAY THAT, OR I CAN CHOOSE TO SAY, I AM HEALED BY THE STRIPES
• 1:02:29
  OF JESUS. I RECEIVE MY HEALING. MY BACK IS HEALED. HE'S
• 1:02:35
  QUICKENED MY MORTAL BODY, JUST AS HE QUICKENED JESUS CHRIST TO
• 1:02:39
  RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD. BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS, I AM HEALED.
• 1:02:44
  AND WHAT YOU SPEAK AND WHAT YOU CONFESS WILL BE WHAT YOU ARE. IF
• 1:02:54
  WE ONLY LISTEN TO OUR PHYSICAL SENSES OR OUR MINDS, WE'LL
• 1:02:58
  EVENTUALLY LOSE OUR PEACE AND OUR JOY. THEN WE CAN MISS THE
• 1:03:02
  VICTORIES THAT GOD INTENDS FOR US. FOR INSTANCE, IF WE ONLY
• 1:03:06
  FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON WHAT WE HEAR ON THE NEWS, WE CAN REALLY
• 1:03:10
  QUICKLY BECOME DEPRESSED ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD.
• 1:03:15
  IT'D BE EASY TO WONDER, ARE WE GOING TO EVER MAKE IT THROUGH
• 1:03:19
  THIS? BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OUR MIND OR OUR
• 1:03:22
  PHYSICAL SENSES TELL US. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT FOX NEWS OR
• 1:03:26
  THE COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK SAYS. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE
• 1:03:31
  CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK LIKE, THE WORD OF GOD IS STILL TRUE. ONCE
• 1:03:37
  WE DETERMINE TO GET QUIET ON THE INSIDE AND BEGIN LISTENING TO
• 1:03:40
  WHAT OUR HEART OR SPIRIT IS SAYING, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL
• 1:03:43
  MINISTER THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TO US. I THINK BROTHER ROBERTS
• 1:03:46
  SAID IT SUNDAY ABOUT, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT A MAN IN DALLAS, I
• 1:03:49
  BELIEVE, JANET, THAT HE SAID, PRAYS FOR A HALF AN HOUR IN THE
• 1:03:53
  SPIRIT, AND THEN HE LISTENS FOR A HALF AN HOUR AND JUST TO SEE
• 1:03:57
  WHAT GOD'S SAYING. SO HOW DO WE DISTINGUISH OUR SPIRIT, OR WHAT
• 1:04:02
  THE BIBLE MANY TIMES REFERS TO AS OUR HEART, FROM OUR SOUL?
• 1:04:06
  THAT'S THE QUESTION. SOME DENOMINATIONS, LIKE I MENTIONED,
• 1:04:10
  BELIEVE THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT ARE THE SAME, AND THEY GET ALL
• 1:04:13
  CONFUSED ON THAT, AND TALK ABOUT THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT LIKE
• 1:04:16
  THEY'RE INTERCHANGEABLE, AND THEY'RE NOT. THE BIBLE MAKES A
• 1:04:20
  CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. WHY WOULD THE BIBLE SAY
• 1:04:24
  THAT OUR BODIES ARE MADE OF SPIRIT, THAT SOUL AND BODY, OR
• 1:04:28
  THAT HUMANS EXIST IN THOSE THREE AREAS, THREE EXISTENCES COME
• 1:04:35
  TOGETHER IN ONE, IF THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL WERE THE SAME, IT
• 1:04:41
  WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED THAT WAY TO US. IT'S NOT. MANY
• 1:04:45
  PEOPLE USE THE WORD SOUL INTERCHANGEABLY WITH THE WORD
• 1:04:48
  SPIRIT. THEY DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. IT'S A COMMON THING
• 1:04:52
  FOR THE WORLD TO TALK ABOUT SELLING THEIR SOUL,
• 1:04:55
  BUT MOST LIKELY THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
• 1:04:58
  THERE WAS A MAN IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON THAT USED AN INTERNET
• 1:05:01
  AUCTION SITE. YOU CAN PUT UP THE PICTURE THERE. HE WAS TRYING TO
• 1:05:04
  SELL HIS SOUL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, AND AS IT TURNED OUT,
• 1:05:09
  THE TOP OFFER THAT HE GOT WAS $400. AND SINCE THE SOUL IS NOT
• 1:05:13
  PHYSICAL, IT CAN'T BE EXTRACTED FROM THE BODY LIKE A PHYSICAL
• 1:05:16
  ORGAN SUCH AS THE HEART, THE MAN HAD TO ADMIT, "I DON'T THINK THE
• 1:05:21
  HIGH BIDDER IS GONNA BE ABLE TO COLLECT ON MY SOUL." REMEMBER,
• 1:05:27
  WE LOOKED AT THE APOSTLE PAUL'S WORDS IN 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23,
• 1:05:31
  "MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT AND SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS UNTIL
• 1:05:36
  OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST RETURNS." HE DESCRIBED THREE PARTS OF MAN
• 1:05:41
  IN THAT VERSE. IT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE LEARN HOW TO
• 1:05:44
  CORRECTLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL. IF WE
• 1:05:47
  DON'T, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LISTENING TO OUR
• 1:05:53
  SPIRIT OR OUR HEART AND TO BE LED IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE
• 1:05:59
  THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. SOME CHRISTIANS HAVE DIFFICULTY
• 1:06:02
  DISCERNING BETWEEN A SOULISH EMOTION AND SPIRITUAL STIRRING.
• 1:06:08
  THE EXCITEMENT OF A BIG CROWD CAN FEEL SPIRITUAL WHEN REALLY
• 1:06:12
  IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN SOULISH ENTHUSIASM. GO TO A FOOTBALL
• 1:06:16
  GAME. PEOPLE GET ALL EXCITED AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND THEY'RE
• 1:06:19
  VERY ENTHUSIASTIC. IS THAT SPIRITUAL? NO. HOW ABOUT A
• 1:06:25
  TEAR-JERKING STORY? SOMETIMES IT CAN FEEL SPIRITUAL. A WELL-DONE
• 1:06:30
  SONG CAN STIR EMOTIONS WHEN NOTHING SPIRITUAL IS ACTUALLY
• 1:06:33
  HAPPENING. A CARNAL CHRISTIAN CAN EASILY INTERPRET THOSE
• 1:06:37
  THINGS AS SOMETHING SPIRITUAL. NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THOSE THINGS
• 1:06:42
  ARE WRONG. I'M JUST SAYING WE HAVE TO LEARN TO DISTINGUISH
• 1:06:45
  SOULISH EXCITEMENT FROM SPIRITUAL EDIFICATION. AND IT'S
• 1:06:50
  NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO. THE DISCERNMENT BEGINS WITH SIMPLY
• 1:06:55
  RECOGNIZING THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. AND YOU HAVE AN EDGE
• 1:06:59
  TONIGHT BECAUSE NOW YOU KNOW THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
• 1:07:01
  SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT, I'M SURE. BUT MAYBE
• 1:07:05
  THERE'S SOMEONE ONLINE, MAYBE THERE'S A NEW CHRISTIAN, YOU
• 1:07:07
  DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS REVELATION TO YOU. WE'RE
• 1:07:10
  DEPENDENT ON BIBLICAL REVELATION TO TEACH US THE DIFFERENCE
• 1:07:13
  BETWEEN THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. HEBREWS 4:12 SAYS THIS, THIS IS
• 1:07:17
  A KEY SCRIPTURE TONIGHT, I WANNA READ THIS. FOR THE WORD OF GOD
• 1:07:21
  IS QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED
• 1:07:25
  SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER," LISTEN TO
• 1:07:29
  THIS, "THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT AND THE
• 1:07:36
  JOINTS AND THE MARROW." AND IT'S A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND
• 1:07:39
  THE INTENTS OF THE HEART. BIBLICAL REVELATION, THE WORD OF
• 1:07:42
  GOD, RIGHTLY DIVIDES OUR SOUL AND OUR SPIRIT. REPEAT THIS WITH
• 1:07:47
  ME, BIBLICAL REVELATION, RIGHTLY DIVIDES MY SOUL AND MY SPIRIT.
• 1:07:55
  WE NEED THIS UNDERSTANDING. THIS VERSE EXPLAINS THAT THE SPIRIT
• 1:07:59
  AND THE SOUL ARE SEPARATE ENTITIES AND THAT THEY CAN BE
• 1:08:02
  DIVIDED OR DISTINGUISHED FROM ONE ANOTHER. THE WORD OF GOD
• 1:08:07
  DIVIDES ASUNDER OR SEPARATES THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT OF MAN
• 1:08:11
  BECAUSE THEY'RE TWO SEPARATE, DISTINCT ENTITIES. THE NEW
• 1:08:15
  LIVING TRANSLATION CALLS IT CUTTING BETWEEN THE SOUL AND THE
• 1:08:19
  SPIRIT. HEBREWS 4:12 IN THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION SAYS, "FOR
• 1:08:23
  THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND POWERFUL, IT'S SHARPER THAN THE
• 1:08:25
  SHARPEST TWO-EDGED SWORD, CUTTING BETWEEN THE SOUL AND THE
• 1:08:30
  SPIRIT." I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT IN YOUR MIND. IT'S CUTTING
• 1:08:33
  BETWEEN THE SOUL AND DIVIDING IT. AMEN. THERE'D BE NO NEED TO
• 1:08:38
  DIVIDE THEM IF THEY WERE THE SAME. YOU CAN'T SEPARATE
• 1:08:40
  SOMETHING FROM ITSELF. THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES US THAT THE SOUL
• 1:08:45
  AND THE SPIRIT BEING TWO DISTINCT ENTITIES CAN BE
• 1:08:48
  SEPARATED. SO LET ME DEMONSTRATE ILLUSTRATION NUMBER TWO TONIGHT.
• 1:08:53
  LET'S HAVE SOME FUN. WE PRETEND YOU'RE BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
• 1:08:56
  WE'RE JUST DOING A SCIENCE ILLUSTRATION HERE. BUT IT'S
• 1:09:00
  GONNA BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THAT BECAUSE THIS HAS ETERNAL
• 1:09:02
  VALUE. SO WHAT I HAVE HERE TONIGHT IS A PICTURE OF BLUE
• 1:09:11
  OCEAN WATER. IT'S REALLY NOT OCEAN WATER, IT'S JUST WATER
• 1:09:19
  THAT'S COLORED BLUE, BUT I WANTED YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.
• 1:09:22
  WE DIDN'T REALLY IMPORT IT FROM THE PACIFIC. I ALSO HAVE SOME
• 1:09:29
  GRAVEL HERE. AND THIS IS SPECIAL PEA GRAVEL IN HERE. SO, THIS
• 1:09:38
  ROCK OR THIS PEA GRAVEL I WANT YOU TO PRETEND IS YOUR SOUL.
• 1:09:42
  THIS IS YOUR SOUL. THIS GLASS IS YOUR BODY. THIS IS THE THING
• 1:09:48
  THAT HOLDS YOUR SOUL AND YOUR SPIRIT. SO TONIGHT, IF I POUR
• 1:09:53
  SOME SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WATER, LET'S PUT SOME SPIRIT IN THAT
• 1:09:57
  BODY. YOU'RE CREATED WITH THE SPIRIT. SO WE HAVE A NICE
• 1:10:03
  CONTAINER OF BODY AND SPIRIT HERE. CAN YOU SEE THAT? OKAY,
• 1:10:07
  THAT'S GOOD, IT'S SHOWING UP GOOD. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA ADD
• 1:10:11
  OUR SOUL TO THIS. THAT'S THE INDICATION OF THE ROCK HERE.
• 1:10:14
  WE'RE JUST GONNA PRETEND THAT THIS ROCK IS OUR SOUL. NOW WE'RE
• 1:10:19
  GONNA MIX THOSE TOGETHER. AND HERE WE HAVE BODY, SOUL, AND
• 1:10:27
  SPIRIT ALL IN ONE CONTAINER. HERE'S THE KEY THOUGH. HERE'S
• 1:10:32
  THE KEY TO THIS. THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS MY STRAINER, THIS
• 1:10:38
  IS THE WORD OF GOD, CAN BE A SEPARATOR. SO I CAN SEPARATE MY
• 1:10:45
  SOUL AND MY SPIRIT. HERE WE GO. I HAVE SPIRIT AND I HAVE SOUL.
• 1:10:55
  THEY'RE SEPARATED NOW. WHAT DID IT? THE WORD OF GOD. THE WORD OF
• 1:11:02
  GOD SEPARATED IT BECAUSE THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, THE
• 1:11:07
  SOUL, THE BLUE WATER, AND YOUR SPIRIT, THE ROCKS. THEY CAN BE
• 1:11:10
  DIVIDED OR CUT ASUNDER BY THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN ROCKS AND
• 1:11:15
  WATER ARE MIXED TOGETHER LIKE I DID THERE, IN THAT ONE BODY,
• 1:11:22
  THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER, WORKING TOGETHER AS OUR BODIES DO, OUR
• 1:11:26
  HUMAN BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT WORKING TOGETHER. BUT THEY CAN
• 1:11:30
  BE SEPARATED. THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER
• 1:11:34
  THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING
• 1:11:38
  ASUNDER OR THE CUTTING APART OF THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. SO EVEN
• 1:11:43
  THOUGH THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT ARE INTERTWINED WITHIN THE
• 1:11:45
  NATURE OF EVERY PERSON, JUST LIKE THE WATER AND ROCKS WERE
• 1:11:49
  MIXED, THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES. THEY CAN BE SEPARATED
• 1:11:53
  BY THE WORD OF GOD. BY RENEWING OUR MINDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD,
• 1:11:57
  WE CAN LEARN TO FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT'S LEADING IN OUR LIVES.
• 1:12:01
  THAT'S WHAT I WANTED YOU TO SEE TONIGHT. ROMANS 12:2 AGAIN. “BE
• 1:12:05
  NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING
• 1:12:09
  OF YOUR MIND THAT YOU MAY PROVE WHAT IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND
• 1:12:12
  THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD.” WE BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO GOD AND
• 1:12:16
  THE THINGS OF GOD WHEN OUR MINDS ARE RENEWED WITH THE WORD. SO IN
• 1:12:20
  CLOSING TONIGHT, EDDIE, YOU CAN COME. WE'RE GONNA BE DONE BY
• 1:12:23
  ABOUT 8:15, I BELIEVE. REMEMBER, WEDNESDAY'S ICE CREAM NIGHT, SO
• 1:12:28
  YOU DON'T WANNA BE TOO LATE. PASTOR MATT TOLD ME HE WANTS AN
• 1:12:32
  ICE CREAM CONE TONIGHT, SO WE GOTTA GET HIM OUTTA HERE. THERE.
• 1:12:42
  BUT I WANNA GIVE YOU THREE METHODS IN CLOSING TONIGHT
• 1:12:45
  THAT'LL HELP YOU CONTINUALLY FILL YOUR MIND WITH GOD'S WORD
• 1:12:48
  SO THAT YOU CAN DIVIDE YOUR SOUL AND YOUR SPIRIT SO THAT YOU CAN
• 1:12:53
  COME TO A POINT WHEN YOU CAN DISCERN THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT
• 1:12:57
  IN A GREATER WAY. HOW MANY OF YOU WANNA HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD
• 1:13:00
  IN A CLEARER WAY? YOU DO THAT BY RENEWING YOUR MIND WITH THE WORD
• 1:13:05
  OF GOD. IT SENSITIZES YOUR SPIRIT TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE AND
• 1:13:10
  UNDERSTAND AND DISCERN. SO I WANNA COVER THOSE THREE SIMPLE
• 1:13:15
  THINGS. HOW TO FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE WORD OF GOD. READING OR
• 1:13:19
  HEARING THE WORD. JUST SPEND TIME READING. TURN ON, IS RUDY
• 1:13:25
  HERE TONIGHT? I DON'T SEE RUDY, HE MUST BE HOME. BUT HE WAS
• 1:13:29
  TELLING ME, HE JUST SENT ME A TEXT THIS WEEK AND HE SAYS, "I'M
• 1:13:33
  LISTENING TO THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION OF THE NEW
• 1:13:36
  TESTAMENT EVERYWHERE I GO. I JUST HAVE IT PLAYING AND I'M
• 1:13:39
  LEARNING AND HEARING." SO HEARING AND HEARING IS GOOD.
• 1:13:42
  THEN MEDITATE, MEDITATE OR CHEW ON GOD'S WORD. YOU KNOW, THERE'S
• 1:13:48
  MORE THAN JUST, IN FACT, LET'S PUT UP THAT NEXT SCRIPTURE,
• 1:13:51
  2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 IN THE AMPLIFIED. THAT WAS THE NEXT ONE
• 1:13:55
  I WAS GONNA GO TO. BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA CHEW ON A SCRIPTURE AND
• 1:14:00
  MEDITATE ON IT, YOU WANNA JUST NOT READ IT. THEREFORE, AS
• 1:14:03
  ANYONE IN CHRIST THAT IS GRAFTED IN, JOINED TO HIM BY FAITH, YOU
• 1:14:06
  KNOW, YOU HEAR IT, BUT LET'S TAKE SOME TIME TO CHEW ON IT,
• 1:14:09
  DISCERN IT. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TAKE FOOD INTO YOUR BODY SO THAT
• 1:14:14
  YOU CAN DIGEST IT BETTER, IT FIRST GOES THROUGH THAT PART OF
• 1:14:18
  THE MOUTH THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CHEW WITH YOUR TEETH, DOESN'T
• 1:14:20
  IT? YOU'RE BREAKING IT UP, YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING IT BETTER,
• 1:14:25
  THE SAME WAY IS TRUE AS YOU LOOK AT THE WORD. THEREFORE, IF
• 1:14:29
  ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, OH, SO THAT IS SPEAKING TO ANYONE THAT IS IN
• 1:14:35
  CHRIST. THAT MEANS SOMEONE THAT'S BORN AGAIN, THAT'S SAVED.
• 1:14:38
  IN OTHER WORDS, HE'S GRAFTED IN. HE'S JOINED TO HIM BY FAITH. OH,
• 1:14:42
  OKAY, SO THAT MEANS IT MUST TAKE FAITH FOR ME TO RECEIVE CHRIST.
• 1:14:48
  I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT. THAT MAKES SENSE. AS SAVIOR. HE'S A
• 1:14:52
  NEW CREATURE. OH, OKAY. THEN WHEN I CAME TO GOD, I GOT SAVED
• 1:14:58
  BY FAITH. I BECAME A NEW CREATURE. I WAS REBORN AND
• 1:15:02
  RENEWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. OH, AND THEN I SEE THE OLD THINGS,
• 1:15:06
  THE PREVIOUS MORAL AND SPIRITUAL CONDITION THAT I WAS IN, HAVE
• 1:15:10
  PASSED AWAY. OH, THAT'S INTERESTING. THAT'S CHANGED IN
• 1:15:14
  MY LIFE. SO I DON'T HAVE THE SAME DESIRES THAT I USED TO
• 1:15:17
  HAVE. I'M CHEWING ON THIS SCRIPTURE AS I GO. AND BEHOLD,
• 1:15:21
  NEW THINGS HAVE COME. OH, THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE THE SAME
• 1:15:25
  DESIRES AS I HAD BEFORE. I'M LOOKING TO LIVE A NEW LIFE NOW.
• 1:15:31
  BECAUSE I'VE HAD A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING THAT BRINGS A NEW
• 1:15:35
  LIFE. HMM. THAT'S HOW YOU CHEW ON A SCRIPTURE. DON'T JUST READ
• 1:15:40
  IT OR HEAR IT AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING. YOU'RE BETTER
• 1:15:43
  OFF TAKING THAT SCRIPTURE AND SPENDING 10 OR 15 MINUTES ON IT,
• 1:15:47
  CHEWING ON IT, THAN YOU ARE TO READ 20 VERSES AND NOT GET
• 1:15:51
  ANYTHING OUT OF IT. NOT THAT YOU’LL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT
• 1:15:55
  THAT WAY, BECAUSE HEARING IS BUILDING FAITH. YOU'RE ALWAYS
• 1:16:00
  GOING TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE WORD OF GOD, BUT WHAT I'M
• 1:16:02
  SAYING IS YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO A DEEPER LEVEL IF YOU MEDITATE
• 1:16:05
  AND CHEW. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND THEN FINALLY, NUMBER THREE,
• 1:16:10
  SPEAKING THE WORD. SPEAK IT. WHEN YOU DECLARE THE WORD, YOU
• 1:16:16
  BRING IT INTO BEING. SOMETHING THAT'S SPIRITUAL IS THEN
• 1:16:21
  BECOMING MANIFESTED IN THE NATURAL IN YOUR LIFE AS YOU
• 1:16:24
  SPEAK IT. AS YOU SAY, I AM HEALED BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS,
• 1:16:28
  THAT MANIFESTS THAT SPIRITUAL THING. WHEN YOU JUST READ IT OR
• 1:16:32
  YOU JUST HEAR IT, IT'S NOT THE SAME AS SPEAKING IT. AND I
• 1:16:37
  SUGGEST THE WAY TO RENEW YOUR MIND WITH THE WORD OF GOD IS
• 1:16:40
  WRITE DOWN FIVE SCRIPTURES AND PUT THEM ON NOTE CARDS IF YOU
• 1:16:43
  HAVE TO AND SPEAK THEM OVER YOURSELF. PEOPLE WILL THINK
• 1:16:47
  YOU'RE NUTS, BUT THAT'S THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT. THAT'S WHY
• 1:16:51
  PEOPLE CAN GO ON FOR YEARS AND NOT RECEIVE SOMETHING FOR GOD
• 1:16:54
  THAT THEY'RE BELIEVING FOR, WHETHER IT'S HEALING OR
• 1:16:56
  PROSPERITY OR WHATEVER IT IS, BECAUSE THEY NEVER SPEAK IT.
• 1:16:59
  THEY BELIEVE IT. THEY MAY KIND OF INTERNALIZE IT BECAUSE THEY
• 1:17:04
  UNDERSTAND IT, BUT THEY NEVER SPEAK IT OUT AND DECLARE IT. AND
• 1:17:09
  AGAIN, IF SOMETHING'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, DON'T SPEAK THE
• 1:17:12
  PROBLEM, SPEAK THE WORD OVER IT. NEVER SPEAK THE PROBLEM. THE
• 1:17:18
  FACT IS I MAY HAVE CANCER IN MY BODY, BUT THE TRUTH IS I'M
• 1:17:22
  HEALED. THE TRUTH IS I'M HEALED BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS, SO I'M
• 1:17:28
  NOT GONNA SPEAK THAT I HAVE CANCER, EVEN IF I HAD IT. IT
• 1:17:32
  WOULDN'T COME OUT OF MY MOUTH. UNLESS BY ACCIDENT I MOVE INTO
• 1:17:37
  NEGLIGENCE AND JUST MOVE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT HAPPENS
• 1:17:40
  SOMETIMES. AND THEN YOU GOTTA SAY, "FATHER, FORGIVE ME. "I
• 1:17:43
  SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT." TAKE THOSE WORDS BACK, AND YOU CLAW
• 1:17:47
  'EM BACK. YOU DON'T WANNA SPEAK THAT INTO YOUR RESISTANCE. THE
• 1:17:51
  THINGS THAT YOU SPEAK TODAY ARE SETTING UP YOUR FUTURE. IF
• 1:18:00
  YOU'RE A NEW BELIEVER, IT'S A NEW WAY OF THINKING. YOU NO
• 1:18:02
  LONGER THINK LIKE YOU DID BEFORE. AND LET'S LOOK AT
• 1:18:06
  2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 IN THE AMPLIFIED AS WE CLOSE HERE
• 1:18:09
  TONIGHT. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST THAT IS GRAFTED IN,
• 1:18:13
  JOINED TO HIM BY FAITH, IN HIM AS SAVIOR, HE'S A NEW CREATURE,
• 1:18:17
  REBORN AND RENEWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE OLD THINGS, THE
• 1:18:21
  PREVIOUS MORAL AND SPIRITUAL CONDITION HAVE PASSED AWAY.
• 1:18:24
  BEHOLD, NEW THINGS HAVE COME, BECAUSE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
• 1:18:28
  BRINGS A NEW LIFE. HALLELUJAH. AS WE LEARN TO STAY FAITHFUL AND
• 1:18:33
  RECEIVE THE WORD INTO OUR HEARTS AND MINDS, IT'LL BECOME EASIER
• 1:18:36
  AND EASIER TO LISTEN TO YOUR HEART OR YOUR SPIRIT MAN, IS
• 1:18:41
  WHAT I'M SAYING WHEN I SAY HEART, WITH CONFIDENCE.
• 1:18:47
  FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S LEADING IN ALL SITUATIONS AND
• 1:18:50
  CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR LIFE IS WHAT WE WANT TO GET TO. AND
• 1:18:54
  UNDERSTANDING THAT TRICHOTOMOUS BEING, I LIKE THAT WORD
• 1:18:57
  TRICHOTOMOUS. IF YOU DON'T LEARN ANYTHING ELSE TONIGHT, YOU CAN
• 1:19:00
  GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY AND SAY, I LEARNED A NEW WORD,
• 1:19:02
  TRICHOTOMOUS. ALEC, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNEW THAT WORD, BUT SOME
• 1:19:07
  OF US DIDN'T. BUT IF WE'RE NOT RENEWING OUR MIND, WE CAN END UP
• 1:19:15
  RESPONDING TO SITUATIONS IN THE WAY THAT WE DID BEFORE
• 1:19:18
  SALVATION. THEN IT'S HARDER TO RESIST SIN. AND AS WE RENEW OUR
• 1:19:24
  MINDS WITH THE WORD, WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY FOLLOW GOD'S PLAN
• 1:19:28
  FOR OUR LIFE. A RENEWED MIND MAKES YOU MORE SENSITIVE TO THE
• 1:19:31
  THINGS OF GOD AND WILL ASSIST YOU IN HEARING GOD'S VOICE. AND
• 1:19:36
  THEN YOU'LL BE LESS LIKELY TO RESPOND TO CIRCUMSTANCES FROM
• 1:19:43
  YOUR EMOTIONS OR REASONING. JAMES 1, I’VE GOT ONE MORE
• 1:19:49
  SCRIPTURE. I TOLD YOU I WAS ON THE LAST ONE, BUT I DO HAVE ONE
• 1:19:52
  MORE, I GUESS, HERE. JAMES 1:21 SAYS, "GET RID OF ALL
• 1:19:56
  UNCLEANLINESS AND ALL THAT REMAINS OF WICKEDNESS. AND WITH
• 1:20:00
  A HUMBLE SPIRIT, RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS
• 1:20:03
  IMPLANTED," OR ACTUALLY, "ROOTED IN YOUR HEART, WHICH IS ABLE TO
• 1:20:07
  SAVE YOUR SOULS." THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO STUDY AND PRAY
• 1:20:11
  DAILY. SPEAK THE WORD OVER YOUR LIFE. KEEP CONNECTED WITH OTHER
• 1:20:14
  BELIEVERS. COME TO PRAYER TIMES. ASKED PRAYER IS IMPORTANT,
• 1:20:18
  RIGHT, JANET? IT'LL SHARPEN YOU AS YOU'RE AROUND OTHER BELIEVERS
• 1:20:22
  THAT PRAY WITH YOU. AND WHEN YOU ARE HEARING OTHERS PRAY, YOU'LL
• 1:20:25
  HEAR THE WORD OF GOD. SO THEN YOU'RE RECEIVING MORE, AND
• 1:20:29
  YOU'RE BUILDING YOUR FAITH. JOIN A 242 HOME GROUP IF YOU'RE PART
• 1:20:34
  OF THIS LOCAL CONGREGATION. IT'LL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY
• 1:20:37
  FOR FELLOWSHIP, BUT IT ALSO GIVES YOU SOME ADDITIONAL
• 1:20:39
  TEACHING THAT YOU WON'T GET ON SUNDAYS OR WEDNESDAYS. IT'S
• 1:20:44
  IMPORTANT. TAKE A LIFE EMPOWERMENT CLASS. WE HAVE THOSE
• 1:20:48
  GOING MOST THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I MEAN, JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME OF
• 1:20:52
  THE YEAR. WE HAVE LITTLE BREAKS, BUT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE LIFE
• 1:20:55
  EMPOWERMENT CLASSES THAT WILL HELP SHARPEN YOU. DON'T FORSAKE
• 1:21:01
  YOUR ATTENDANCE ON SUNDAYS. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, BE
• 1:21:06
  FAITHFUL. WHEN YOU'RE HOME AND YOU'RE TUNING IN, FOCUS ON THAT.
• 1:21:13
  RESERVE THAT TIME FOR GOD. DON'T TRY AND DO ALL YOUR HOUSEHOLD
• 1:21:17
  CHORES WHILE YOU'RE LISTENING. FOCUS ON IT JUST LIKE YOU WERE
• 1:21:20
  IN CHURCH. SOME OF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOCAL CHURCH TO ATTEND
• 1:21:23
  BECAUSE THERE'S NO ONE PREACHING TRUTH IN YOUR AREA. AND YOU NEED
• 1:21:29
  TO FOCUS IN ON WHAT WE HAVE HERE. JOIN THE CONFERENCE CALLS
• 1:21:33
  THAT ASK PRAYER HAS AND START HOOKING UP WITH OTHER BELIEVERS.
• 1:21:37
  DO WHAT YOU CAN WHERE YOU CAN TO BE AROUND THINGS THAT WILL
• 1:21:41
  STRENGTHEN YOU AND MOVE YOU FORWARD IN YOUR LIFE. BECAUSE IF
• 1:21:45
  YOU DETERMINE TO PUT YOUR SPIRIT MAN FIRST IN YOUR LIFE, IT'S THE
• 1:21:49
  VERY THING THAT CAN MAKE YOU THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR LIFE
• 1:21:54
  ENDEAVOR, FULFILLING THE DESTINY OF GOD FOR YOU, AND THEN IT'S
• 1:21:58
  THE THING THAT WILL MAKE YOU MOST SUCCESSFUL ETERNALLY.
• 1:22:02
  BECAUSE THE REASON THAT GOD WILL SAY, WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND
• 1:22:05
  FAITHFUL SERVANT, AND YOU'LL GET A REWARD IN HEAVEN, IS NOT JUST
• 1:22:11
  BECAUSE YOU ACCEPTED HIM AS CHRIST AND BECAME SAVED, IT'S
• 1:22:13
  BECAUSE YOU DID HIS WILL WHILE YOU WERE ON THE EARTH. AND
• 1:22:18
  THAT'S HOW YOU GET REWARDS, WHEN YOU FOLLOW HIS PLAN. BUT HOW ARE
• 1:22:22
  YOU GONNA FOLLOW HIS PLAN IF YOU CAN'T HEAR HIS VOICE? SO THAT'S
• 1:22:26
  WHY I WENT BACK TO BASICS TONIGHT, TO TALK ABOUT THE BODY,
• 1:22:30
  SOUL, AND SPIRIT, AND UNDERSTANDING THE DIVISION
• 1:22:32
  BETWEEN THEM, AND UNDERSTANDING HOW YOU CAN HEAR THE VOICE OF
• 1:22:35
  GOD. AND WE JUST KIND OF TOUCHED IT TONIGHT. THERE'S SO MUCH
• 1:22:38
  MORE. WE'LL PROBABLY GO INTO THAT AGAIN NEXT WEDNESDAY IN A
• 1:22:41
  DEEPER WAY, SO. WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT. STAND WITH
• 1:22:46
  ME IF YOU WOULD. FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN
• 1:22:50
  YOUR HOUSE TONIGHT. WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THE MOVE OF THE
• 1:22:53
  HOLY SPIRIT. WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THE ANOINTING, THE GRACE,
• 1:22:56
  THE MERCY, ALL THAT YOU GIVE US. THANK YOU, LORD, THAT YOU HAD A
• 1:23:01
  DIVINE PLAN FOR US WHEN YOU CREATED US, BODY, SOUL, AND
• 1:23:04
  SPIRIT. AND NOW WE'VE HOPEFULLY REMEMBERED OR WE'VE LEARNED SOME
• 1:23:09
  THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME, LORD, THAT WILL HELP US WHEN WE LOOK
• 1:23:12
  AT THE DIVISION OF THAT AND HOW WE CAN RECEIVE IN OUR SPIRIT MAN
• 1:23:18
  AND THE TRUTH OF GOD, THAT YOU GUIDE US AND YOU DIRECT US, YOU
• 1:23:21
  SPEAK TO US CONTINUOUSLY. WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO HEAR. AND
• 1:23:25
  WE WANT OUR MINDS RENEWED, LORD, SO WE COMMIT TO YOU TO HEAR YOUR
• 1:23:31
  WORD, STUDY YOUR WORD, MEDITATE ON YOUR WORD, CONFESS YOUR WORD,
• 1:23:34
  AND SPEAK YOUR WORD, SO THAT WE CAN BE SHARP AND WE CAN RECEIVE
• 1:23:40
  EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE FOR US. WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE
• 1:23:43
  UNCTIONS, THE VOICE OF GOD, THE DIRECTION, THE GUIDANCE THAT YOU
• 1:23:48
  GIVE US. EACH ONE OF US WANT THAT, LORD, BECAUSE THAT
• 1:23:51
  GUIDANCE, THAT DIRECTION, THAT WISDOM CAN HELP US TO AVERT
• 1:23:55
  ACCIDENTS, TRAGEDIES, CALAMITIES. ANYTHING THE DEVIL
• 1:24:00
  HAS INTENDED FOR US, YOU HAVE A WAY AROUND IT AND THROUGH IT. SO
• 1:24:05
  WE THANK YOU FOR THAT GUIDANCE AND THAT DIRECTION. WE RECEIVE
• 1:24:07
  IT TONIGHT IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
• 1:24:14
  THANK YOU FOR COMING. NEXT WEEK I PROBABLY WON'T DO THE SCIENCE
• 1:24:18
  EXPERIMENTS, BUT I THOUGHT WE'D DO IT FOR FUN TONIGHT.
• 1:24:22
