1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:10.759
Stand brave the word. Thank you, Lauren, thank you that you've helped

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.480
us recover from our Turkey coma,
and we shall go on to celebrate your

3
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:27.359
dominion over him. We thank you
that we can buffet our bodies even though

4
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:33.399
we're supposed to buffet our bodies.
And we just thank you for your presence

5
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:40.039
today, your ministry in the Word
to us, and everybody said, amen,

6
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:51.320
you may be seated. Ah Lulujah. I want to talk to you

7
00:00:51.359 --> 00:01:02.159
a little bit more about the glory
within. So last week I introduced some

8
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.799
thoughts about the glory within, and
just what I felt the Holy Spirit was

9
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:14.680
saying was how important it is that
we recognize the importance of our spiritman,

10
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.760
and that we live out of our
Spiritman, and that we we let our

11
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:29.359
Spiritman have place and we we give
you know, this is I think it

12
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.120
has to be kind of a conscious
effort, a little bit of a conscious

13
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:40.280
effort, because everything else is pressing
on us all the time. And maybe

14
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:47.840
that's, you know, maybe that's
part of why prayer is not only something

15
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.920
that we can, you know,
engage in all the time, but maybe

16
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.799
one of the reasons why prayer is
often a set time, like the time

17
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:07.920
of prayer is because we can tune
everything else out for a little while,

18
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.560
you know what I'm saying. So
there's there might be some value in that

19
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.360
that we can tune things out,
because there's so much value in your spirit

20
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.639
man. And I think this is
part of what Holy Spirit wants us to

21
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:30.960
realize, and I don't know that
we're super conscious of it, is that

22
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:37.800
within your spirit, man, is
the testimony of Heaven within your spirit,

23
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:46.400
man, like all faith that's ever
come to you has come through your spirit,

24
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:53.280
man, because the end dwelling Holy
Spirit in your spirit is the spirit

25
00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:02.599
of faith, and it's the spirit
of faith that gives you the grace and

26
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:14.400
the enablement to love. Faith proceeds
love. That's why it even says the

27
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.719
fruit of the spirit, or the
fruit of your spirit, or the fruit

28
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:27.400
of His Word in your spirit is
love and joy and peace. So if

29
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:35.560
we're letting our spirit dominate, if
we're paying attention to our spirit, man,

30
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:42.479
we'reing, if we're giving heed to
our spirit, man, there's going

31
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:50.960
to be something happening, and that
the fruit of that is going to be

32
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:58.439
love, joy, peace, patience. It's just the fruit of hanging out

33
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.400
with the right person, right do
you know of anybody that you hang out

34
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.280
with that when you leave their presence
you feel better than you did when you

35
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:14.120
came. So the fruit of that
person is or the fruit of spending time

36
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.600
with that person is something, right? Why? Because it's the way they

37
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.560
paid attention to you. It's the
way they related to you, It's the

38
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:30.040
way they loved you, it's the
way they encouraged you. That's the Holy

39
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.800
Spirit ministering to your spirit. Like
when you spend time with Holy Spirit,

40
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.639
by giving attention to your spirit,
you're going to come away. The Bible

41
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:46.199
says Edified, it pertains to an
edifice. It means built up, made

42
00:04:46.240 --> 00:05:00.360
it stronger, and that's like super
powerful, right, And it's not the

43
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.920
thing is I think that you know
the everything that's set up in the fallen

44
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.839
world, because we're living still in
the fallen world that hasn't come into restoration.

45
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.040
Everything is set up in the fallen
world is to keep you out of

46
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:21.720
your spirit man, to keep you
out of your spiritman. Because the fallen

47
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:29.240
world doesn't exist around a spirit driven, spirit led spirit man life. It

48
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:36.199
exists around a body led, soul
led life. So everything in our third

49
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:45.639
dimensional world, whether intentional or unintentional. It's built to keep you out of

50
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:53.439
your spirit man. But life is
in your spiritmen. That's where the testimony

51
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.720
of Jesus is. That's where the
testimony of righteousness is, that's where the

52
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.920
testimony of victory is. But that's
where the testimony of redemption is. That's

53
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.199
where the testimony of heaven is.
The testimony of heaven is in your spirit

54
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:21.040
man. And it's all centered really, it's all centered around fellowships. What

55
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.040
it is, it's all centered around
fellowship. But I want it's just I

56
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:30.680
want to I want to bring your
attention again to just a few verses about

57
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:38.160
your inner man or your spirit man. So the Bible uses different terminology.

58
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.600
One of them is inner man,
one of them is spirit. So we

59
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.680
know that we are three part beings, spirit, soul and body. And

60
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.040
like Romans seven twenty two says,
for I delight in the Law of God

61
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.240
according to the inner man. If
you if you look at the whole passage,

62
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:05.680
he's like, you know, he'll
talk about how the law of God

63
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:15.519
actually arouses sin within his soul and
his body, like when the law said

64
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.399
don't covet it awakened conveteousness. But
he said, that's not the problem with

65
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.360
my inner man. That's not the
problem with my spirit man. My spirit

66
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.759
man actually the lights in the law
of God. So think about that.

67
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.360
When you pay attention to your spirit
man, you're actually going to the light

68
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:42.399
in the Law of God, the
commandments of God, the wisdom of God.

69
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.600
Right, It's like Matthew twenty six
forty one. He goes to the

70
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.560
garden of Gassemone, which was his
habit. He goes to the garden to

71
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.040
pray. They go with him.
They don't know what's going on. They

72
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.839
go into the garden with him.
He bids them to come. He takes

73
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.360
Peter, James and John a little
bit in and he says, my hour

74
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.120
is near, right, He's gonna
pray, comes back, finds them sleeping.

75
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.319
Then he says something. He says, pray that you end are not

76
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:22.279
into temptation because the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. He

77
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:30.600
wasn't just talking to them. He
wasn't just talking to them. Weak means

78
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:37.720
infirmed, it means vulnerable. It
means lesser than it means as it pertains

79
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:45.840
to the activity of fellowship with God
and activating our spirit man and leaning into

80
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.080
the spirit man and living according to
the spirit man. The flesh doesn't understand

81
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.879
that stuff. That's why you can't
really reform your flesh. You put it

82
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:01.080
to death. You can't counsel your
flesh. You can't the great psychologists can't

83
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.480
get your flesh to do the right
thing. There's one thing you do with

84
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.440
your flesh. You bring it to
the cross and you co crucify it with

85
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.480
Jesus and you declare it dead.
Because you can't counsel your flesh into fellowship

86
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:20.039
with the spirit. It doesn't get
it. So that's why in one Corinthians

87
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.440
nine twenty seven, Paul says,
I buffet my body and I make it

88
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.720
subject to the spirit. I bring
it under, I put it under,

89
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.840
and I make it obey the spirit. Lest after preaching to others, I

90
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:43.240
myself become a disaster. So there's
you know that we just have to realize

91
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:50.000
that we're in a battle, and
you're going to be in this battle until

92
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.720
we all throw a dirt in your
face. I don't know who's going to

93
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.360
win that race. But six feet
under or in a nice vase somewhere on

94
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:05.279
a fireplace, or sprinkled over the
Pacific, or I don't know what it's

95
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.159
going to be for you. But
you're going to be in this battle to

96
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.799
where the flesh and the flesh man
and the body and the urges of the

97
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.200
sinful nature in your soul are going
to want to dominate your spirit man and

98
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.559
shut your spirit man down, and
contend with your spirit man, and have

99
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.960
all sorts of things going on to
keep your spirit man from actually being in

100
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:33.279
fellowship with God and the Enemy.
Knowing all along that the center of you

101
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:41.840
bringing heaven into your earth, it
comes out of your spiritman. You can't

102
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:48.279
think heaven into earth, you can't
build heaven into earth. You have to

103
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:54.919
bring heaven into earth through your spirit
man, your spiritman, and your spirit

104
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.320
man right now has all the capacity
to do that. If you're born in

105
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.240
the spirit. If you were born
in the spirit just this morning, but

106
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.639
if you're born of the spirit already, the Holy Spirit dwells in your spirit,

107
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.679
and your spirit has become one with
the Holy Spirit. This is the

108
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:20.600
crazy mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the crazy mystery of what Jesus

109
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.639
or what Father has done for us
in the sun, is that you now

110
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.679
are one with the Holy Spirit,
and He dwells in you. And if

111
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:48.000
you came to him five minutes ago, he's already talking. You have the

112
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.000
capacity to hear from heaven. And
I love this. I love that it's

113
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.279
called the Kingdom of Heaven. And
he said, the Kingdom of Heaven is

114
00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:01.080
at hand. He said that he
would give us the keys to the Kingdom

115
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.279
of Heaven. It's not the Kingdom
of Holiness, and it is. But

116
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.000
don't get me wrong. We can
get hung up on holiness and we can

117
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:18.480
get real religious and weird about holiness
and shove it away, and it's not

118
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.960
the Kingdom of do better, but
you will do better. But he intentionally

119
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:31.840
appeals to us that we cooperate with
Holy Spirit in our spirit because it's the

120
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.000
only way to be in fellowship with
the Kingdom of Heaven. And there isn't

121
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:45.559
a soul in this building that doesn't
want more Heaven in their life. And

122
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.039
it all started in fellowship. It
all started in fellowship, and it started

123
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:00.759
in a replica of Heaven. Right, it all started fellowship, and it

124
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:07.279
all started in a replica of heaven. Eden was a replica of Heaven,

125
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.600
and it was just a small portion
of the Earth. And the assignment of

126
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.320
Adam and Eve was to extend heaven
over the entire earth. Did you know

127
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:22.159
that that was the assignment. The
assignment wasn't just to stay there. It

128
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.200
wasn't for we two and a cow
that mood. It wasn't for we four

129
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:33.919
and just a few more. It
was the assignment was to extend heaven over

130
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:43.720
the entire globe. That was the
assignment. And the key to the assignment

131
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:50.159
was fellowship. And Adam had it
in the beginning, all right. Adam

132
00:13:50.240 --> 00:14:01.720
had this amazing fellowship with God with
Holy Spirit first Adam before the fall.

133
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.720
And we don't even know how long
that went on. We're not told how

134
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.240
long that went on. We don't
know, but it went on a little

135
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.080
while because listen to this. He
had to take the time to name all

136
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.960
the animals. Let's go spend a
day at the zooon and see how manny

137
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.440
you can name. How long that
takes you Genesis three nineteens or twenty.

138
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.039
Now, the Lord God had formed
out of the ground all the wild animals

139
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.919
and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to the man

140
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.879
to see what he would named them. And whatever the man called each living

141
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:41.600
creature, that was its name.
Now, this is that's that's Genesis two,

142
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.440
sorry, Genesis two nineteens or twenty
Genesis three eight nine is interesting because

143
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:54.600
that's where we get to the passage
where they hear God walking in the garden

144
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.080
of the cool of the day,
and we're given the inferences is the common

145
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.399
thing, and so I mean,
this wasn't hell on earth. This was

146
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:15.440
Heaven on earth. Because it was
a manifestation of heaven. Then we understand

147
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.320
that there were a couple of things
going on. Number One, Adam could

148
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:26.919
ascend just as surely as God could
descend, like there was no disparity between

149
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:35.440
Heaven and earth. And Adam was
walking in righteousness. And so this was

150
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.240
this common thing. This is first
atom, first Adam before the fall.

151
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:48.440
Jesus be last atom, the two
of them having a lot in common.

152
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.120
I don't know how much you've thought
about that, but the first atom before

153
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:03.559
the fall and the last atom have
a lot in common. And first Adam

154
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.279
was alive in his spirit. That's
why he had fellowship with Holy Spirit.

155
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.600
We don't even know what appearance it
was that, but we can assume theologically

156
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.480
that Jesus John one has always revealed
the Father. So it was Jesus walking

157
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:27.919
in the garden. Theologically, that
would be sound, because He the Begotten

158
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.320
has always revealed the Father, and
no one has seen the Father, but

159
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:41.799
they've seen the Son, and so
here he comes. But it's the righteousness

160
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.840
of First Adam before the fall that
allows fellowship. It's out of the fellowship

161
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:56.120
that heaven continues. When fellowship is
broken through unrighteousness, the gates are closed

162
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:07.279
and share ammer stationed at the eastern
gate, and the fellowship changes. The

163
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:15.400
fellowship and the environment are so interrelated
that they can't be separated. The enemy

164
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.799
knows that. That's why he works
so hard to keep you out of fellowship.

165
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:29.960
He's working super hard to keep you
out of fellowship because fellowship and heaven

166
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:38.160
are intricately connected to gather, intricately
connected together. And so we see this

167
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.599
going on for a while. We
don't know how long this went on,

168
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.759
but it it went on for a
while, and there was there was this

169
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:51.480
kind of deep fellowship like what should
we name this one? And there was

170
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.119
like the talk of creativity, and
there was understanding, and there was there

171
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.519
was all this going on. It
was like this was this was more than

172
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.960
just casual stuff. Right, how
about you and your wife, you that

173
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:12.759
are married, try to name something. How long is that going to take

174
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:18.720
you to come into agreement on what
the name is going to be. You

175
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.279
both need to hear from Holding Spirit
on that one, don't you. So

176
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.240
I'm just talking about the kind of
unity there was. There was a tremendous

177
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.599
unity. I don't know if we've
thought about that. Like in Adam,

178
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.319
there wasn't. This is before the
fall. In Adam. There wasn't arguments.

179
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.319
There wasn't like contention. There wasn't
like, wow, I don't even

180
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.200
know why you did that, like
that thing you should have five legs,

181
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.200
not four. I don't know what
you were thinking. There wasn't this kind

182
00:18:52.200 --> 00:19:03.200
of this contentious argumentative negativity or disparity
going on. First Atom and Holy Spirit

183
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.480
in the person of Jesus, we're
one and functioning as one and communicating,

184
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.759
and that this cool fellowship going on. It's the kind of fellowship that we

185
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:19.839
see Jesus walking with Father in and
the kind of fellowship that we're called to.

186
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.519
And absence of that fellowship, heaven
can't emerge. We want glory,

187
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.200
We want a greater glory. We
sang about a greater glory. We're believing

188
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.039
for a greater glory. But all
of us have things built in to our

189
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.720
soul and our body that are a
framework of resistance to a greater glory.

190
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:47.039
And the greater glory wants to spring
out of our spirit, wants to emerge

191
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.640
out of our spirit man, out
of our inner man that agrees with the

192
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:59.400
holiness of God, even agrees with
the laws of God. So many times

193
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:07.160
we contain in that glory. We
restrict that glory and don't enter in fully.

194
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.920
But the very thing that is ours, like you, don't have to

195
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:27.079
earn more glory. Second Corinthians four, Sun Corinthians for this Cool Passage,

196
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:33.559
you know that talks about Second Crinthians
for the Cool Passage from Sun Crinins three

197
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:49.880
to four talks about how Moses face
would glow with the glory. And we

198
00:20:51.000 --> 00:21:00.920
know that's when he came down off
of the mount somewhere around Exodus thirty three,

199
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:07.839
and that glory that he was shining
with it was more than the Israelites

200
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.359
could bear. It was like amazing, right, and he had been forty

201
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:18.000
days in the presence of glory,
and the amalgamation of that glory it had

202
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.119
transformed him. But it was an
upon glory. It wasn't a within glory.

203
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:29.480
Now Paul's trying to say here,
he's trying to say that we have

204
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:34.960
a greater glory than even Moses,
and we have not a fading upon glory

205
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:41.599
because we were in the presence.
We have a within glory, and this

206
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.440
glory never has to fade because we
constantly not only dwell in the presence,

207
00:21:48.480 --> 00:22:00.480
but the presence dwells in us verse
six and seven. For God's said let

208
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.839
lights. For God who said let
light shine out of darkness, made his

209
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:11.759
light shine in our hearts to give
us the light of the knowledge of God's

210
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:17.559
glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure. We

211
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:25.119
have the very same treasure, the
very same treasure that was in Christ the

212
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:36.519
Anointed. We have this treasure in
jars of clay. Jars of clay are

213
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:41.359
earth suits. To show that this
surpassing power is from God and not from

214
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:48.880
us. In other words, you
can even be frail, and you can

215
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.799
be weak, and you can be
finite, and you can be you can

216
00:22:52.839 --> 00:23:00.079
be in your earth suit, and
the glory of God will still be pre

217
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:06.279
eminent, be known, be felt, be seen, be manifest, because

218
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.279
His glory is not restricted by your
earth suit. His glory is not restricted

219
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.240
by your earth suit. He just
needs an earth suit that will cooperate.

220
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.119
That's part of why Paul said,
I I'm not going to get in a

221
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.200
bunch of shame over my earth suit. I'm going to glory in my weakness

222
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:36.640
because in my weakness he is made
strong. He will be manifested through my

223
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:51.759
weakness if through my weakness I allow
him to come through me. Look at

224
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.920
the life of Jesus. Now this
is second atom. Okay, still,

225
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:03.000
this is second atom. This is
last atom. Who is the example for

226
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.240
us to follow. And he's not
just an example for us to copy emulate,

227
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:15.480
be like examine. But the Holy
Spirit of Jesus dwells in us,

228
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:21.119
and the Holy Spirit of Jesus has
made us into brand new creatures. We

229
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:30.240
are new creatures in Christ Jesus.
But I just want to take fellowship because

230
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:41.960
Jesus was the embodiment of Heaven on
earth. Jesus was the embodiment of heaven

231
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:52.839
on earth. He was also a
perfect theology Luke three twenty one. Now,

232
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:59.240
when all the people were baptized,
Jesus was also baptized, and while

233
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.240
he was praying, Heaven was opened. Now, when I talk about praying,

234
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.119
I don't want you to go into
some kind of a mode every time

235
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:17.160
I read about praying. This is
what the apostles wrote about him, and

236
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.319
this is what the translators translated to
be. But I don't want you to

237
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:30.319
think of it as necessarily some certain
particular petitionary or pious activity. We praying

238
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:34.640
was and is, and I want
you to see it in this context of

239
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:45.240
the first atom context that it was
fellowship with Holy Spirit. The fact is,

240
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.640
while we're there, while we're camping
on that, let's go to this

241
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.960
really cool reference of fellowship with the
Holy Spirit, which is two corinth Ens

242
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:02.160
thirteen fourteen, Second Trinthens thirteen fourteen. This is the Apostle Paul finishing his

243
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:08.359
second letter to the Corinthian Church.
Remember there's no chapters, there's no verses.

244
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.359
We added all that. This is
one big letter to the Corinthian Church.

245
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:23.279
He's ending the letter with certain thoughts, directions, and things that he

246
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.960
wants them to be aware of and
to follow through with. And this is

247
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.880
what he says. The grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love

248
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:40.720
of God and the fellowship of the
Holy Spirit be with you all. So

249
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.920
when we think about Jesus pray,
and we're going to get back to that

250
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.079
in a minute, I want to
read some of those I want you to

251
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:55.359
see that even even the Apostles noted
like a lot of frequent times where Jesus

252
00:26:55.839 --> 00:27:03.319
was openly to their awareness having fellowship
with Holy Spirit in such a way that

253
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:11.599
they could identify it, and they
could identify that Heaven was emitting out of

254
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.000
him, that the glory of Heaven
was emitting out of him. So at

255
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.039
one point, even you know,
they said, teach us to pray.

256
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:25.200
John taught his disciples how to pray. We're watching you, we're seeing everything,

257
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.960
you're carrying, everything that's happening.
We're realizing that we don't know how

258
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.000
to pray. But you teach us
how to pray, and it really teaches

259
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:41.880
how to have fellowship with Holy Spirit. Teach us how to have fellowship with

260
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.799
Holy Spirit. And the word fellowships
here Paul says, this is super important

261
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.039
as I close out this letter to
you the Corinthian Church, that you continue

262
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.079
in fellowship, that you have fellowship
with Holy Spirit. So the word there

263
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.960
its translated fellowship. I keep talking
about fellowship, but actually it's the word

264
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:06.279
coinn and ea and have you ever
heard the word coin and it's a Greek

265
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.799
word. From it, we get
fellowship, which is one of the four

266
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:17.759
meanings of the word fellowship. But
there's other meanings to the word fellowship.

267
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:27.079
And when I see Jesus praying the
last atom, who's now restoring what the

268
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:34.359
first atom lost and walking in what
the first atom once had, when I

269
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.359
see when I see fellowship, I
want to see I want to see it

270
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:44.599
more in the fullness of the understanding
of what coin and AA is. And

271
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:51.000
number one, it's partnership. And
I think that's that's really cool. I

272
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:56.319
think that's even part of what we
see in chapter two eighteen and nineteen nineteen

273
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:07.240
through twenty comes into a partnership with
God, so much so that this partnership

274
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:15.839
even includes naming the animals like a
partnership of dialogue, a partnership of I

275
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:23.519
think it's amazing that no matter what
your endeavor, this is and this is

276
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:29.160
part of understanding what prayer is all
about, is understanding what fellowship is all

277
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:34.359
about. Whatever whatever you're in the
midst of Holy Spirit wants to be your

278
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:44.640
partner. If you're raising children,
if you're selling real estate, if you're

279
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:52.319
sharing your faith. You know,
Jesus never healed the same way every time?

280
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.240
Did you know that? Now?
I usually do the same thing every

281
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:07.440
single time, unless what unless I
get instruction by giving my spiritman prominence and

282
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:15.680
asking and listening for my partner to
tell me what to do. Because I'm

283
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:26.400
the junior partner. He's the senior
partner, and he's ordained that through fellowship,

284
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:33.119
I enter into a partnership with him, and he knows how to do

285
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.559
everything, and the everything he knows
how to do is to bring heaven to

286
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:47.400
my earth. It's one of the
meetings for fellowship number two intimacy. Intimacy.

287
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:56.400
It's a participation of intimacy. It's
actually the word intercourse. The word

288
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:03.160
fellowship means that I you to him
in such a way that I allow him

289
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.400
to make deposits of his word in
me. We talked about the bread of

290
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:14.519
his presence. We've talked about Matthew
four to four. Jesus said man shall

291
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.319
not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceeds from the mouth

292
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.039
of God. We talk about the
Lord's prayer when he taught them how to

293
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:26.519
pray. Give us this day our
daily bread. It's all about hearing from

294
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.359
him. It's all about getting impregnated
with the word from above, the word

295
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.559
from heaven. And so fellowship is
opening myself up in such a way that

296
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:41.799
I break down the resistance, and
I break down the hindrances, and I

297
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:51.160
yearn for him so much that I
even throw my clock away because I want

298
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:56.079
to stay here in intimate fellowship until
I really hear, until there's a deposit,

299
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.119
until I'm impregnated, until there's something
that comes from heaven, like the

300
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:05.559
bread of Heaven. I wanted to
land on my heart and quicken me in

301
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:10.240
regard to this endeavor. So there's
this intimacy that happens, and the intimacy

302
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:21.720
comes from yielding to him and making
time for him. Thirdly, the word

303
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:29.599
means distribution. He wants to distribute
heaven upon me. He wants to distribute

304
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:35.000
that which brings heaven. He wants
to distribute that which strengthens me, that

305
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:40.880
which quickens me, that which makes
me wise. There's a distribution. That's

306
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:46.759
the third word for fellowship for queen, and a partnership, intimacy, distribution.

307
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:54.400
And then lastly the last word is
fellowship. That's the last word fellowship.

308
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:07.079
In many ways, that's just time
spin. That's just time spin.

309
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.799
You ever yearned for that, and
a partner or a friend, you ever

310
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.640
yearn for that? Like sometimes Joel
and I are just so busy, we're

311
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:23.680
like, you know, two ships
passing in the night, just so busy

312
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:28.119
that you just you know, you're
yearning for fellowship. Anybody ever yearned for

313
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:34.079
fellowship with somebody? This is why
Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit yearns for fellowship

314
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:43.599
with us. He desires fellowship with
us, and we see Jesus entering into

315
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.519
this all the time. Luke six
twelve through thirteen, that was at this

316
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:50.839
time that he went off into the
mountain to pray, and he spent the

317
00:33:50.880 --> 00:34:01.799
whole night in prayer with God Queen
and a fellowship distribution, intimacy time spent.

318
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.519
And when they came, he called
his disciples to him and shows twelve

319
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:13.559
of them, of whom he named
his apostles. This is a big,

320
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.039
giant decision, and he knew the
decision wasn't in his robe, It wasn't

321
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:20.800
in his earth suit, it wasn't
in his flesh. It wasn't in a

322
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:27.960
meal, it wasn't in a program, it wasn't in a rabbinical study.

323
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.039
It wasn't in a scripture verse.
Somewhere he needed a download in his spirit

324
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:38.400
man. And there were hundreds that
were following him and pursuing him and running

325
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:45.840
after him. But he was to
call twelve to be with him. So

326
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:49.679
he spent the night in fellowship with
Holy Spirit. And as he spends the

327
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:54.880
night in fellowship with only Spirit,
then there is the download of all that

328
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.280
is hidden in coin and AA.
And he comes the next day and chooses

329
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:08.960
the twelve mark one thirty five.
In the early morning, while it was

330
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.199
still dark, Jesus got up,
left the house and went away to a

331
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:17.559
seclude place and was praying there Matthew
fourteen twenty three. And after he had

332
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:21.079
sent the crowds away, he went
up on the mountain by himself to pray,

333
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:25.199
And when it was evening he was
there alone Luke five sixteen. But

334
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:34.920
Jesus himself would often slip away to
the wilderness and pray Fellowship point and am

335
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.119
Luke eleven one. It happened that
while Jesus was praying in a certain place,

336
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:39.840
and after he had finished, one
of his disciples said to him,

337
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:45.440
Lord, teach us to pray just
as John taught his disciples John seventeen nine.

338
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.920
We know John seventeen is all about
a prayer that he prayed for us.

339
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.480
I ask on their behalf. I
do not ask on behalf of the

340
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:58.599
world, but on behalf of those
whom you've given me, for they are

341
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:09.559
yours. He's in prayer. Every
time you enter into prayer, you're prioritizing

342
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:17.719
your inner man. You're prioritizing your
spirit man. You're prioritizing the source of

343
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:24.239
faith, the source of love,
the source of wisdom, the source of

344
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:30.119
heaven. Every time you pray.
This is why the enemy doesn't want the

345
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:37.920
church to pray. This is why
your flesh wrangkles at prayer because your flesh

346
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:43.039
can't be reformed. Your flesh is
not going to start running after prayer.

347
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:55.519
But you're crucified flesh will cooperate with
prayer. You're crucified flesh can be mortified

348
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:19.679
by the Holy Spirit when you give
Holy Spirit the central part of your life.

349
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:25.000
Just so important that we realize that
Jesus wasn't just our savior. He

350
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:30.519
wasn't just He's not just the source
of forgiveness. He is who you've become

351
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:40.480
per seawn for seventeen as he is, so also are we in this world.

352
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.280
John says that we're going to be
baffled when we see him because when

353
00:37:51.320 --> 00:38:01.360
we see him, we will know
him, we will behold him because we've

354
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:12.000
become like him, because you've received
his nature. You received his nature.

355
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.960
So sometimes I think, you know, sometimes I think you know, the

356
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:27.079
key to more glory is just activating
the glory within. Now, there's sovereign

357
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.679
moves of God. We know that's
true. We know that there are times

358
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:37.079
and seasons when God moves, and
we know that's true. But we also

359
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:49.480
know that generally every single revival and
movement of God has been interrelated to people

360
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:59.519
quenching something that was hindering and restricting
and opposing the glory within. And when

361
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:07.920
a bunch of them got together and
they begin to agree together in fellowship,

362
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:16.000
and they began to quench whatever was
harming and quenching the Holy Spirit. Because

363
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:23.280
the Holy Spirit, you're a glory
carrier, and he just wants to get

364
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:29.320
loose. He wants to dominate you, and he wants to rate Heaven through

365
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:38.039
you, and he wants to spill
heaven into everything that you touch. He

366
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:47.239
doesn't mind the secular expressions, because
when you make him central, your spirit

367
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.880
man central in the midst of secular
expressions, he turns them into sacred,

368
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:14.039
supernatural outpourings. Jesus shows up at
a wedding that sounds kind of trite.

369
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:22.840
They're having wine that sounds really trite, much of sinners. He blows up

370
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:42.000
the whole party with better wine because
he had the resource of heaven. So

371
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:46.480
he releases the merriment of heaven on
the entire wine, on the entire wedding

372
00:40:46.519 --> 00:41:07.880
party, and every religious eyebrow is
lifted, but it's heaven flowing out of

373
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:20.760
his fellowship. The standards morning.
If you have the glory within, If

374
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:30.760
I have the glory within and the
glory is not spilling out, I know

375
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:43.719
with me, I've got this unrestricted
access to the glory that I don't take

376
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:50.239
advantage of, I don't always pay
attention to. And then I let stuff

377
00:41:52.039 --> 00:42:15.039
pindra and quench the glory that wants
to get out. Take the Ten Commandments.

378
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:21.920
I'm gonna mess with you, Jesus
says in Matthew five. Your righteousness

379
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:35.400
is going to exceed the commandments.
The commandments are a check on our soul

380
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:44.159
and on our body, and we
will look at the commandments. They convict

381
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:58.400
us to run into Christ and to
run into faith. And these commandments have

382
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.719
value, right, they have value. Like, if we're violating those commandments,

383
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.039
we could be quenching the glory that
dwells within. And maybe we don't

384
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:17.559
realize we're quenching the glory that dwells
within. I don't know. There's a

385
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.599
bunch of them there, you know, there's a bunch of them. We

386
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.800
could meditate on this a little bit. We don't have enough time for all

387
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:30.119
the meditation. But well, like
you know, the Sabbath day, it's

388
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:32.760
actually his day. It's not our
day, it's actually his day. So

389
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.360
if we're not keeping a Sabbath,
if we think that the seventh day or

390
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.559
the first day or the Sabbath day
is actually for us instead of for him,

391
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.119
maybe that alone could be quenching the
glory within. We don't even realize

392
00:43:45.119 --> 00:44:01.400
we're cinching the glory. If we're
spending all of our time pursuing Black Friday

393
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:07.280
specials, I'm messing with you now, but you know, you know what

394
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.880
I'm saying. If we're spending all
of our time on our stuff, he

395
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:17.760
says, have no idol before me. He says, don't make any graven

396
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:31.679
image your idol. If we've allowed
deception, and we're walking with an allowed

397
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:46.960
deception, and he said, don't
bear false witness like never lie, And

398
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:52.599
we're living with a little alie that
we've allowed. We don't realize it,

399
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.760
but we're quenching the glory within.
And sometimes this is what I mean by

400
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:01.840
sometimes it's just it's not like a
sovereign glory that needs to come. Sometimes

401
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:06.920
it's not that he's the problem.
Sometimes it's we're the problem. Sometimes we

402
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:15.880
just need to make an inner adjustment. Men can lead the way. But

403
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:24.360
if men are drawn away into anything
pornographic, which is a form of prostitution

404
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.960
and adultery, do we realize that
we actually are quenching the glory within.

405
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:44.760
When my wife and I quench one
another, she teases about it, I

406
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:52.719
get real patty faced. And you
know, the quenching means that there's a

407
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.519
loss of fellowship, a lack of
fellowship maybe the four parts of fellowship,

408
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.840
right, And I get real patty
faced. I wonder if the Holy Spirit

409
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:06.800
gets a pouty face. I wonder
if he gets sad, because the Bible

410
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:14.199
says grieve, not or quench not
the Holy Spirit. That means it can

411
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:22.360
be done. We can do it. And when we do it, because

412
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:29.280
your sovereign over you, you're sovereign
over you. That means you have to

413
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:37.119
sovereignly choose to defer to your spirit
man and run after heaven fellowship in coin

414
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:51.679
and air. And when you do, Heaven can erupt, Heaven can erupt,

415
00:46:52.000 --> 00:47:00.920
Heaven can spill out, Heaven can
spill out. Hands up this morning,

416
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:16.679
if you word with me, Holy
Spirit, what'd you show us today?

417
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:34.400
Any behavior, any activity, any
mindset, any philosophy, any choice,

418
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:46.000
any allowance that's quinching you, that's
keeping you from first place and hindering

419
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:53.440
our fellowship, our coin and au
and the bursting forth of your glory out

420
00:47:53.440 --> 00:48:00.119
of our inner man. Would you
show us only Spirit? Would you show

421
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:30.039
us wholes fail? We repent right
now, Lord, return, return from

422
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:43.039
that which clinches fellowship, that which
keeps you entrapped, unable to manifest.

423
00:48:45.079 --> 00:49:06.679
Return from it. We shift turn
ourselves to you fully, Let the coin

424
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:13.559
and day erupt. Let the coin
and day erupt, Oh, Holy Spirit,

425
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:21.840
Well thank you for it, Jesus
name, everybody said,
