WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.719 Don't. Let's stand and pray over the word real quick. Glad you hear, 2 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:14.320 Glad to be in the house, so fun what God's doing rem for 3 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.480 Behold, darkness will cover the earth. Darkness will cover the earth, and 4 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.679 deep darkness to peoples. But the Lord will rise upon you, and his 5 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:33.520 glory will appear upon you. Come on, somebody, nations will come to 6 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.479 your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your 7 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:45.439 eyes round about and see they all gather together. They come to you. 8 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.280 Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the 9 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.439 arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill 10 00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.200 and rejoice because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. Father. 11 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.359 We just turn our hearts to your glory. We turn our hearts to 12 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.319 the development of your glory within us, the development of your glory within us. 13 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.079 Joel talked about the mitochondria recently. You have a mitochondria within you. 14 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:29.120 The motor of your entire being is your spiritman, and the glory of your 15 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.840 spirit man, Holy Spirit. We welcome you to develop the glory within our 16 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:44.879 Spiritman. There'll be a deepening today. We ask we pray, we believe 17 00:01:45.159 --> 00:02:00.319 in Jesus' name. Everybody said, amen, you may be seated. Our 18 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:15.599 theme, our theme is out of Isaiah forty, but it's you know, 19 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.599 it's in Malachi three as well. And we've been meditating on this theme a 20 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.639 little bit, just feeling like this is what the howays heard saying right now, 21 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.479 and so we're going to lean into what he's saying, and when he 22 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.960 says something, we try to figure out what he's saying, right So some 23 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.479 of this stuff is, you know, these are the mysteries that we long 24 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.599 to look into and to understand. And what we feel like he's saying is 25 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.599 to prepare for his coming. And it's not the coming like the second Coming 26 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.960 or the rapture pend of coming, but it's just a coming in glory, 27 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.240 a greater coming in glory. And the part of it we have to realize 28 00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.840 is that the coming of the glory, the coming in glory that he has 29 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.280 in mind is a glory within you. It's a glory that you develop within 30 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:15.400 you, in your inner man, in your spirit man. And that's that's, 31 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.120 you know, even as even as it pertains to for Thessalonians four, 32 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:28.000 which is the rapture passage, the Second Coming Passage evangelicals, if you're a 33 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:35.039 Protestant evangelical, you might not as the rapture passage, but it says something 34 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.199 interesting. You know, this is not a rapture message, but it says 35 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:49.639 that He's coming back for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. And I, 36 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.199 you know, I often talk to you, you know, out of 37 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:59.879 Ephesians four and kind of mess with your brain and tell you that, uh, 38 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120 you know, out of Ephesians four eleven through fifteen, it says that 39 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.800 the fivefold ministry will continue to equip the Saints until we all come into the 40 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:17.759 unity of the faith of the Sun, not the faith of the Baptist, 41 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.920 not the faith of the Methodists, not the faith of the Assembly of God, 42 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.319 not the faith of the four Square, not the faith the Episcopalian, 43 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.839 not the faith of the Catholic, till we all come into the faith of 44 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:36.680 the Sun, and we come into the maturity of the Sun. So that's 45 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.399 why I teach you sometimes and say, there's going to be a generation that 46 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.720 walks on water. There's going to be a generation that will pay their tithe 47 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:55.920 by getting a coin off the bottom of the of the lake, not their 48 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.399 tithe. It was their tax he paid. Remember how he paid his axes. 49 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.279 You can pay your time that way too. That'd be pretty cool me. 50 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:13.959 All right. So we're talking about the development of a glorious church, 51 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.720 and I think this is on his mind, and I think he's passionate about 52 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.079 it because of the very thing that we just read out of Isaiah chapter sixty, 53 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.120 where darkness could cover the earth, and right now we're dealing with a 54 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.920 lot of darkness. We keep talking about it. I don't mean to wear 55 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.600 you out. We're talking about darkness. I hope I'm not bugging you. 56 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:46.720 But it's pretty obvious that things have become more dark. But the amazing part 57 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:59.199 is that glory increases on the righteous in the midst of darkness. Glory increases 58 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.920 in the midst of darkness, and of course that glory becomes the salvation of 59 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.959 the nations. So then the nations come to the glory. And it's not 60 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.480 only the glory on you, it's the glory in you. You have to 61 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.160 know it's the glory in you, not just the glory on you that you 62 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.800 carry in this earth. And Vessel Paul said, you carry the glory of 63 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:30.240 God in this earth. And vessel. This glory is something to be harnessed. 64 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:38.040 It's something to be developed. It's not a mitochondria that exists without your 65 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:46.399 development. It's like you have the privilege to develop this glory. And oftentimes 66 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.199 we read of those that have developed the glory. I'm still developing the glory 67 00:06:50.240 --> 00:07:00.600 within. I was losing it this morning. I was losing it because there's 68 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.480 a new anointing on Frank. And I don't know if you sensed it, 69 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.720 but there's a new anointing on Frank. And it broke me down and I 70 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.439 lost it and I was setting up here for you know, ten minutes, 71 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:19.680 just weeping over the glory on Frank. There's a new anoint thing on Frank. 72 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:32.680 And I think the anointing on Frank God on me. And I think 73 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:42.240 that's what Holy Spirit wants to do with us. Because the glory of your 74 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.680 spirit man is perceptible in the spirit realm, the glory of the spirit, 75 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.040 the glory of your spirit man, the glory that comes on your spirit man 76 00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:01.639 is perceptible in the spirit realm. And we can discern and sence it in 77 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:09.079 one another and on one another and with one another. And if we aren't 78 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.560 there's the hardness that has to be broken if we aren't there's a distraction that 79 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.399 has to be broken, if we aren't perceiving it, if we aren't discerning 80 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.680 it. Supposed to be shaking hands. But I met Jason in the bathroom 81 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.360 one, two, three, four, five, six six rows back. 82 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.679 We just had a little conference back there to check the plumbing. It's all. 83 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.200 We were doing plumber in my former life. I wanted to make sure 84 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.919 it was fine. We were both undone. But he's six rows back. 85 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.279 But he was undone because he was perceiving something. His spirit was picking up 86 00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.759 something in the spirit. And this is what Holy Spirit wants us to be 87 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.960 and to do, is he wants us to be spirit conscious. He wants 88 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.320 us to be spirit engaged in spirit conscious. What I do, what I 89 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.120 do? Bless you if I filled this with boogers, Oh, you'll be 90 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:26.480 embarrassed for me. We'll just send it here. Men aren't supposed to do 91 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:35.039 this year anyway? What are you trying to do to me? I was 92 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.600 trying to get to our text. Our text is Isaiah forty, but it's 93 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.799 also Malachi three, and it's you know, prepare, prepare the way of 94 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.240 the Lord. There's a greater glory. We're entering into a greater glory. 95 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:58.360 We're doing it right now. We're entering into a greater glory. And it's 96 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.399 God right up a standard against the darkness, and he's raising it up in 97 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.399 you. He's raising up in your spirit man. As you pay attention to 98 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:18.720 your spirit man, he's raising it up in you. Charles Fenny, looking 99 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.480 him up. Charles Fenny, one of our heroes of the faith. Probably 100 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.720 heard of him. Most of his ministry was in New York. He wrote 101 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:35.519 a lot of books and did some cool things, but hundreds of thousands of 102 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.000 people came to the Lord through Charles Finny, and it was just somewhat because 103 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.799 he carried the glory. Well, I think you know, we just don't. 104 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.080 I don't even know. And I wish I wish I knew. I 105 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.960 wish I could tell you. I wish I wish I could just line you 106 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.840 all up and impart something to you and just but I don't even know the 107 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.879 depth of his glory. Yet. We're still delving into the developing of our 108 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:07.440 spirit man, so that we begin to abide and flow in His glory as 109 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:16.799 we're supposed to. And it's not enough that we're born of the spirit, 110 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:28.879 when we can be filled with the spirit and have an outflowing of the spirit, 111 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.799 and we don't even know the depths of that, but it's a river 112 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:41.799 of living water. So wherever your spirit ministers through you without hindrance, living 113 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:52.440 water is dispensed. That's what we all want. So Charles Fenny I was 114 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.039 reading. I was reading. You know, I've got little books in my 115 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.320 library tucked away into stuff. You know, I've read years ago and I 116 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:05.200 didn't remember. It's called Power Were on High and it's his story of getting 117 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.080 baptized in the Holy Spirit, and you know, just all the things that 118 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.840 happened. I think Charles Fanny was an attorney. I can't remember, but 119 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.639 he became the catalyst of a great move of God on the East coast. 120 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.840 And this is, you know, one hundred years ago or something more than 121 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:31.120 maybe somewhere in there. But he was recounting one of the stories in there 122 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.240 that I had forgotten about. I'd even forgot that he told the story. 123 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.080 I thought somebody else told the story about him, but I'm sure that's true 124 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.519 too. But he was recounting the story of how he went into you know, 125 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:48.879 one of the cities to minister, and the dignitaries of the city invited 126 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.000 him to, like the premiere factory of the city. And so he went 127 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.759 to visit this premier factory of the city. And it was really more of 128 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.159 like a show and tell, you know, like a mayor would take you 129 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.159 to the Port of Tacoma to show you. You know, the Mayor of 130 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.879 Fife going to show you the port of Tacoma, the pride and joy. 131 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.360 And so he walks into this factory and as the gaze of his eyes comes 132 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:18.600 in contact with the employees at the machines, and I think it was a 133 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.679 textile factory or something. But as the gaze of his eyes comes in contact 134 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.200 with the employees at the machines, they begin to be touched by the glory 135 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.519 of God, and the love of God begins to overwhelm them, and they 136 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.480 begin to crumble at their machines. They just begin to lose it at their 137 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.080 machines, and one after another, as they see him and they just make 138 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.120 eye contact, the Holy Spirit is using the glory within him to pour over 139 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:52.080 them with love and with the very presence of glory. Like you know, 140 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.279 the word glory is kabad in the Hebrew and it means weight, right, 141 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.000 And so you begin to you just kind of get crushed under the weight of 142 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.480 His presence and the ministry of his nearness. And I was saying, as 143 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.679 I was saying a moment ago, if you're not getting crushed under his weight, 144 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.360 then you've got to crush something of you to get it out of the 145 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.279 way, so you can get into a place where you can get crushed under 146 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.240 the weight of His glory, so that your spiritman is moved to the forefront 147 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.039 of your consciousness to begin to be aware of your Spiritman in such a way 148 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.159 that you don't have these blockades in these fears and these distractions and these anxieties 149 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.519 that keep you from an openness before him. Anyway, it starts happening in 150 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.679 this factory. Within the next one hour period, every one of the factory 151 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.519 workers in that particular spot in the factory gave their lives to the Lord, 152 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.840 and the owner of the factory, who was an unbeliever, who had brought 153 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.559 them in a believer had made the way, so a believer had brought them 154 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.440 into the factory, but the with an unbeliever, and he too gave his 155 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.080 life to the Lord and they're all. They all were converted and touched and 156 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.879 filled with the Holy Spirit in that factory, and they ended up shutting down 157 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:22.759 the factory for several days, and everybody heard the gospel. And we haven't 158 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.720 seen or tasted or been touched by stuff like this, But it's what's available 159 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:35.120 to us. It's actually what's available to us as we develop our spiritman, 160 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.600 as we make room for our spiritman, as we bring our spiritman to the 161 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:48.679 predominance and the pre eminence of our life. And I believe this is you 162 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.840 know, this is what the Holy Spirit wants to say today. I read 163 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.799 to you the last two weeks I've read to you, Matthew six. I 164 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.480 want to read it again because again I believe the Holy Spirit is talking to 165 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.799 us, and that just means he's not done, or may say he's not 166 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:10.919 done. So he's just talking to us a little bit again about distraction. 167 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.159 But today he wants to frame it in the terminology of giving place to your 168 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:22.759 spirit man. The enemy knows that if he can distract your attention off of 169 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.879 your spirit man, your inner man. See, we are tripart beings. 170 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.840 You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a 171 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:41.799 body but your body is not you. Your body is not the fullness of 172 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.600 you. The body is not even life giving. The body is not life 173 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:52.480 giving. Your body is not the fullness of you. The body is just 174 00:16:52.559 --> 00:17:00.360 your third dimensional expression. The real you is your spirit Man, and your 175 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.680 spirit Man is a life giving you, you that have been born of the 176 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:08.200 spirit. Your spirit Man is a life giving you, and it is the 177 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:15.200 essence of the real you. And when you come to the Lord. Frank 178 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.759 was leading us, those of us, all of us, cross this room. 179 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.279 Frank was leading us to accept the Lord, to open up our hearts 180 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.119 to the Lord. Believe upon him with your inner man, your heart all 181 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.759 the way to the core of you. Believe upon him, and then confess 182 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.519 that he is the Lord of your life with your mouth. He was leading 183 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:41.680 us into just coming into that fresh place with him. When we do that, 184 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.079 As we do that, our spirit Man comes alive. We become united 185 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:52.400 with the Holy Spirit, and there becomes no delineation of separation between your spirit 186 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.359 and Holy Spirit. Your spirit is energized and made alive with Holy Spirit, 187 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.240 and your spirit is now the dwelling place of home. Holy Spirit and Holy 188 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.920 Spirit now dwells in your spirit, and your Spirit is fully one with Holy 189 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:19.880 Spirit. But life and your history, and pressure and everything around you wants 190 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.880 all of your attention on your body realm, and on your emotion or your 191 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:33.519 soul realm. Everything is trying to distract you. The enemy's working hard to 192 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.240 distract you because he knows that the glory is not in your earth suit. 193 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.960 It's not in your body. It's handsome and amazing as it might be, 194 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.799 Ladies, as beautiful as your body might be, the glory is not in 195 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.000 your body. The glory's not in your soul. The glory is in your 196 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.559 inner man. It's in your spirit. Man. That's where the glory dwells. 197 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:07.559 That's where the glory erupts. That's where the glory comes forth. Holy 198 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:14.920 Spirit wants us to develop that crazy mitochondria on the inside. Matthew six twenty 199 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.640 eight. Why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the 200 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.880 field grow. They do not toil, nor did they spin. Yet I 201 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.480 say to you that not even Solomon and all his glory, clothed himself like 202 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.599 one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, 203 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.559 which is alive today and tomorrow's thrown into the furnace, will he not much 204 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:44.039 more clothe you, you of little faith. Do not worry then, saying 205 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.680 what shall we eat, what shall we drink? What should we wear? 206 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:52.200 For clothing? For the gentiles, those that don't know Father, those that 207 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.079 are not born of the spirit, those that don't have a Daddy, those 208 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.559 that haven't been brought into the family of God. For the gentiles, eagerly 209 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:06.519 seek these things. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. 210 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:15.559 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be 211 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.559 added to you. And I'm not saying, and I don't think the Holy 212 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.279 Spirit is saying, that you're running around spending all your time seeking these things. 213 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.680 But if we aren't careful, what happens is our mind is full of 214 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:34.480 things that pertain to those things. We're not mindful of the spirit man. 215 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:42.039 We're mindful of the earthy things and just And it's not that we're in sin, 216 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:48.160 it's just that we're drawn away. We're drawn away. And when we're 217 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:56.240 drawn away into all these things, then we're not harnessing, developing, releasing 218 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:03.240 our inner man because we're just drawn away. And one of the ways we 219 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.839 can do it is we can just we can put prayer in a box. 220 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.359 Put prayer in a prayer box. We can have this whole thing where we've 221 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.400 got the sacred and we've got the secular, we've got the religious expressions. 222 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.640 Put put church in a church box, put prayer in a prayer box. 223 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.079 Yeah, Pastor, I have my devotions, man, I've been doing You've 224 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.559 been talking about that. I've been doing it. I've been having devotions and 225 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.119 I've been I've been really getting in there. I've been getting up in the 226 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.240 morning. I've been just man, I've just yeah, I just I sink 227 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.440 the find a little room, or I got the garage going on. I 228 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:37.880 got my little boom box out there, this and that and the other thing. 229 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.839 Whatever boon box is. I know, that's how it is. That's 230 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:51.559 out, that's out. But it's not supposed to be a prayer box. 231 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.480 It's supposed to be a fire starter. Like you start the fire, but 232 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.000 you carry it all day. You light the embers, but you carry it 233 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:07.240 all day. But this is this is part of what the enemy would love 234 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.119 to have. A stews have prayer boxes. We have a you know, 235 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.039 we have a thirty minute session with the Lord in the morning, we have 236 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.720 an hour of the Lord, we have this, that and the other thing, 237 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.680 But then we're not mindful of him all of the rest of the day. 238 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.559 There's no more prayer, there's no more prayer in the spirit, there's 239 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.200 no more prayer to him, there's no more mindfulness, there's no more drawing 240 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.640 near to him. We're just we're just totally engaged in our secular world. 241 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.480 We're just totally engaged in our stuff. But you don't have to be that 242 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.160 way. We don't have to be that way. We can actually take the 243 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.720 fire of the Spirit into everything we do. We can we can fellowship with 244 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.240 him all throughout the day. We can be bringing stuff to him, we 245 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.319 can be asking him for help, we can be drawn nearer to him all 246 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:56.920 of the time. We don't have to be so distracted all of that distraction. 247 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.079 It's a choice. It's a choice because we think we're a human. 248 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:10.240 It's a choice because we think we're Our life is wrapped up in what we 249 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:15.279 do and what's around us. We were thinking that our life is wrapped up 250 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.680 in all of that, that's where fullness of life is. But that's not 251 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.400 where the fullness of life is. That's why if we bring the fire of 252 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:26.759 what life really is into our expressions. Now it's like something cool's going on, 253 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:32.799 because this is how we fulfill I think Matthew twenty two thirty seven is 254 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.799 Yeah, the greatest commandment is love the Lord your God with all your heart, 255 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.519 with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength. 256 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:59.519 We don't just love him in our prayer box. We love him with 257 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:07.599 fellowship all day long. We love him with devotion all day long. We 258 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:14.279 love him by giving him glory all day long. We love him by deferring 259 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.680 to him all day long. And this is how we're led by the spirit, 260 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.920 right, I mean we're led by the spirit. I want to read 261 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.400 to you Galatians five, and I want you to think of something just as 262 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.799 we think about our spirit man. And there's some verses about the spirit man 263 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:32.559 that are very important. There's a whole bunch of them. They're important, 264 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.160 and for the sake of time, I'm not going to go into a bunch 265 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.960 of them. But first Grinton's two fourteen talking about your spirit man, because 266 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.519 you have a spirit man, says the natural man cannot or does not receive 267 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:51.079 the things of God. So this is interesting as long as we're naturally minded. 268 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.119 We're not even going to be receiving the things of the spirit because we 269 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.799 can't receive the things of the spirit because we're naturally minded. We're we actually 270 00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.039 have all of these natural minded things going on, and it's keeping us from 271 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:11.400 even receiving the things of the spirit. Glatians five sixteen. So I say, 272 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.480 walk by the spirit or walk in the spirit, and you will not 273 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:23.440 gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to 274 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.519 the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh, and they are in 275 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:33.640 conflict with one another, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 276 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.359 Now, this is interesting because I want to bring up something out to 277 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.640 you. In Galatians five, and in Romans chapter eight, and in many 278 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:47.960 passages across the scripture, it's actually talking about your spirit man. Now, 279 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.720 your spirit man is in dwelt by the Holy Spirit. So yes, it's 280 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.880 talking about the Holy Spirit, but it's actually talking about your spirit man. 281 00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:00.680 And when you look in the text, the S is not capitalized. There's 282 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.079 no capital to the S. The translators have added the S to give clarity 283 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.640 to what they thought the scripture was saying. But what you have to know 284 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:17.039 is in the Greek, in the original, the S is not capitalized, 285 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.839 And there's no real difference between your spirit and the Holy Spirit once you're energized 286 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.359 with the Holy Spirit, because now the Holy Spirit dwells in your spirit. 287 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.759 And Romans eight sixteen and seventeen says, he bears witness with your spirit. 288 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.599 In other words, he's talking in your spirit. He's testifying in your spirit. 289 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.440 He's wanting to lead you in your spirit. He's animated in your spirit. 290 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.680 He has a voice in your spirit. Your spirit is one with his 291 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.720 spirit. So if we take away the big s and we turn this to 292 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.519 the little s that it was in the beginning when the scripture was written, 293 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.480 it brings some illumination because a lot of times what we do is we see 294 00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:06.839 the big s and we project it here on him. Are you hearing what 295 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.839 I'm saying? So I say this, walk by the Spirit. Oh, 296 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.440 walk by the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit's out here somewhere. I've got to 297 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.279 be perceptive to what he's saying and what he's doing. I've got to be 298 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:22.200 attentive to that and walk by the spirit. Okay, Holy Spirit. But 299 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.200 it's actually listen it actually says, walk by the spirit, the spirit within 300 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:33.880 you. Walk by your spirit. Don't walk according to your flesh. Don't 301 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:40.200 walk bring the spirit to domination. That's what Jesus. When we say Jesus 302 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:45.400 is Lord, where does he dwell? Jesus is the Lord through your spirit. 303 00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:51.720 He's not dwelling in your finger. He's not dwelling in your foot, 304 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.480 He's not dwelling in one of your ears. He's dwelling in your spirit. 305 00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.440 Man by the Holy Spirit. So when we say Jesus is Lord, we 306 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:07.279 mean that now your spirit man is Lord. Not your emotions, not what 307 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.680 you think, not what you wish, desire or will, not what you 308 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:22.599 want. Jesus is Lord means my spirit is now lord of my life. 309 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.440 I used to be led by the body and everything the body desired. I 310 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.160 used to be led by my emotions and everything my emotions were putting me through 311 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.839 and going through, and what they were thinking, and the distractions of my 312 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:42.599 emotions and the feelings of my emotions. But no, no longer am I 313 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:48.480 led by my emotions. No longer am I led by my body. I 314 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:55.960 am led by my spirit. And if I will be led by my spirit, 315 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:07.400 then then I'm losing the life of God within me, and this glory 316 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.160 is it's just it's part of the developing of the glory within. It's hard 317 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:17.160 for you to develop something for me to develop something that I'm not allowing to 318 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.480 be pre eminent. Like if I if I, if I make my body 319 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.200 pre eminent and I get to the club and I work on my body, 320 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.160 my body becomes stronger and it becomes whatever I make pre eminent. It becomes 321 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:34.279 more attractive, it becomes more powerful, it becomes right whatever I But Paul 322 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:41.039 says, bodily exercise actually doesn't profit, not compared to the spirit, because 323 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.440 it's not life giving. I can't give you the life of the profit of 324 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.599 my body. I can hug you, I can squeeze your hand harder, 325 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.240 but I can't impart something to you that will change you. I can't impart 326 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.119 love to you with a muscle. I can literally impart the glory of love 327 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.680 to you with my spirit man. But if my spirit man is not built 328 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.039 up, and it's emaciated, or it's atra feed because I'm not giving it 329 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:15.799 any attention, then I can't impart anything to you. This is the treasure 330 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:26.079 within, This is the treasure within Galician's five twenty two. But the fruit 331 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.880 of the spirit. I'm gonna take the s right there, everybody, take 332 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.599 the ass, make it small, the fruit of your spirit. See when 333 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.319 we make the s big, then oh yeah, that's the fruit of the 334 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.640 Holy Spirit. Yeah. Well, of course that's the fruit of the Holy 335 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.599 Spirit. Of course, that's what the Holy Spirit. He's always sowing those 336 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.799 seeds and the Holy Spirit, and that's his fruit. And when the Holy 337 00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:53.640 spirit's near, of course, of course, of course that's a frue of 338 00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:59.240 the Holy Spirit. No, no, it's the fruit of your spirit. 339 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:07.759 The fruit of your spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, meekness, 340 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:14.359 gentleness, self control, the fruit of your spirit. The fruit of 341 00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.559 your spirit. Now, I can't say that outside this building. I can't 342 00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.000 say that down at Chase Bank, I can't say that at Starbucks. I 343 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.000 can't say that to anybody. I can say that to you, the born 344 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.400 again you, the born of the spirit people are your spirit is now one 345 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.240 with Holy Spirit, the fruit of your spirit. So that means if these 346 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.759 things love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, meekness, self control, 347 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.920 and if those things are not coming out of you, that means you're 348 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:47.640 letting your body dominate you're letting your emotions dominate. You're letting something dominate that 349 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.200 is not meant to dominate because you're a tripart being and it's your spirit that's 350 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.960 supposed to dominate. So you're out of order, you're out of balance, 351 00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:02.640 you're out of order, you're messed up because you're letting something other than your 352 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:21.559 your spirit, your spirit dominate. That makes sense. One more versus let's 353 00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:38.680 stand. So if we don't make our spirit man the priority of life, 354 00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.519 we will not bear fruit. We just won't bear fruit. Did you know 355 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.200 that this is what the enemy wants us to do? Like one John two 356 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:52.119 sixteen. He wants the enemy wants us drawn. I hate to talk about 357 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.720 the enemy all the time, but we have one. He wants us drawn 358 00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:10.319 away into living as we once did, but forgiven. But we have eternal 359 00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:17.720 life. That's religion. That's religion. That's religion. Religion is religion is 360 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:27.839 devoid of life changing relationship, but selfishly content because I'm going to heaven, 361 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.920 I go to church. I'm forgiven. Are you kidding me? We'll just 362 00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:37.400 shoot you right now if that's all you think. If that's all you think 363 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.240 it's about. There's a few in the in the building packing guns today. 364 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.839 We can just take care of you now. If that's really all you want, 365 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.160 we can just take care of that right now. Just gets you to 366 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:53.400 heaven. No, you are made to bring Heaven to earth. He's coming 367 00:33:53.519 --> 00:34:00.640 back not for a sick sorry, go to heaven church. He's coming back 368 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:07.840 for a glorious church without spot and wrinkle, a church that carries the glory. 369 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.280 That's what he's coming back for. So we're supposed to be this whole 370 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.480 thing about bringing Heaven to earth. He's got to bring heaven to you first. 371 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.079 You have to become a carrier of heaven. Then when a bunch of 372 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.079 us are carrying heaven, then Heaven comes to earth. But we got to 373 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:32.280 carry heaven and our spiritmen. So here's the enemy for all that's in the 374 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.199 world, all that the world can offer, the gratification of the flesh, 375 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.239 the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and 376 00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:46.119 importance. None of these things come from the Father, but from the world. 377 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:52.599 And Jesus says, avoid those things. Avoid those things, run from 378 00:34:52.639 --> 00:35:00.199 them, Run from them. Keep your attention focus on your inner man, 379 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.280 And though the world around you might be decaying and even your body. You 380 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:13.280 might experience some decay and now and then hello, somebody not planned on it 381 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:19.079 go lived to one hundred and twenty at least die on mountain Ebo with full 382 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.400 strength of eyeballs and muscles. Me and Moses, you and me will all 383 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:30.280 do it together. But what he's saying is, don't worry about the decay. 384 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.440 Don't get your eyes on the decay, because your inner man is renewed 385 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:38.440 day by day. Your real man, the real man in you, your 386 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:43.880 real person, actually has the potential to be renewed day by day. That's 387 00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:47.159 in the Bible. That's second Brendan's four sixteen is that we don't fix our 388 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:52.000 eyes on the decay happening. We fix our eyes on the inner man, 389 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:57.280 the inner man, the real man, the spirit man of us. That 390 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.599 inner man is renewed. My strength is in my strength. My strength is 391 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:07.400 not in my clothing. My strength is not in my possessions. My strength 392 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:13.400 and none of that can impart life. My strength is in the development of 393 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:19.039 this inner man. In church, we cannot afford to be distracted. This 394 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.639 is the parable of the sower, the third soil. In the parable the 395 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:30.239 sower the third soil. They had faith, they fully believed, they had 396 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.159 faith, they fully believed. But then they let the cares of this life 397 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:43.079 distract them. They let worries distract them, they let anxiety distract them, 398 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:49.599 They let stuff around them distract them, and didn't bring their spiritmen to the 399 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.599 forefront of their life, to the priority of their life. They didn't harness 400 00:36:53.639 --> 00:37:00.519 their spiritmen, and so they bore no fruit. Holy Spirit has fruit for 401 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.800 us. Heads bowed, eyes closed, all across this room. Just put 402 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.760 your hand that with me, if you would, Because I'm just as hungry 403 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.239 as you are. I'm just as needy as you are. I'm just as 404 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:22.199 desirous as you are. And the calling on us is just the same. 405 00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.840 There's no different calling for a pastor or a minister, an apostle, a 406 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:29.679 prophet, evangelist. There's no different calling than there is for every one of 407 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.280 us. Every one of us have the same calling. That we carry fully 408 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:37.079 the glory of the Lord. We carry fully the glory of the Lord. 409 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:43.519 That we harness our inner man, that we give attention to our inner man, 410 00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.320 that we stir up our inner man, that we lean into our inner 411 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.960 man, that we listen to our inner man, that we bring prominence to 412 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:52.440 the voice of our inner man, that we pray in the spirit and build 413 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.800 up our inner man. Pray in the spirit and build up our inner man, 414 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.199 Holy Spirit, right now to you, and we just bring ourselves to 415 00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:06.719 you. We once again, once again, once again, we're drawn into 416 00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:12.280 balance. We're drawn into a balance that doesn't feel like anybody else's balance. 417 00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.199 Is a balance that puts you at the very top. It's a balance that 418 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:25.840 puts the lordship of Jesus at the top. It's a balance it's filled with 419 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:34.679 the fellowship of Heaven. We refuse to live in a prayer box. We 420 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.320 refuse to keep prayer in a box. We refuse to keep religion in a 421 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:43.320 box. We refuse to keep church in a box. We refuse to keep 422 00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:49.320 our fellowship with Holy Spirit in a box. We say no religious boxes for 423 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.679 us, Holy Spirit. We run for you, We run after you. 424 00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:58.800 We develop our inner man. We pay attention to our spirit within. We 425 00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:04.639 say yes to all that resides in our spirit. Love and joy and peace 426 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:08.639 and patience, everything that resides in our spirit. Miracles reside in our spirit. 427 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.159 Signs and wonders reside in our spirit. These reside in our spirit. 428 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.679 They're not in some distant spirit. They're in our spirit. All of the 429 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.760 River of God. It resides in our spirit. It's not somewhere out there, 430 00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:30.920 it's not in a revival somewhere. The glory of the supremacy of Jesus 431 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:38.079 resides in our spirit. And we say yes to developing. Say it with 432 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:43.559 me, Yes, say it with me, Yes, Yes I will. 433 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:52.199 I will develop my spirit man and bring my spirit man to pre eminence and 434 00:39:52.280 --> 00:40:07.400 the predominance in Jesus' name. Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord. Let's 435 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.679 just do this too, Let's just say no. Say it with me. 436 00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:19.360 No. I say no to the distractions of the flesh realm, the earth 437 00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:30.159 realm that are harming vi e tempting, enticing, distracting, drawing me away. 438 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:37.840 I say no to it. I have a body, but I'm much 439 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:45.159 more than a body. I have a soul, but I'm much more than 440 00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:52.920 a pile of emotions. I carry the glory of the Lord, and I 441 00:40:52.960 --> 00:41:01.920 will make His glory the greatest thing about me. Love your search as worship 442 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:02.239 as we go
