WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh now, I'm excited. It's an honor. Today.

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.080
<v Speaker 2>What we're gonna do is we're gonna be talking about

3
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the gifts, the what the gifts of God. So there's

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>many gifts from God, and so when we talk about gifts,

5
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>probably a lot of things kind of pop up in

6
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 2>our head.

7
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>About what a gift is or what it is not.

8
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh So we're gonna we're gonna chat through a few

9
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>things today. But in the Word, there are actually multiple

10
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>types of gifts, and you may have seen it organized

11
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>something like this. You have the office gifts or the

12
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>fivefold minister gifts. How many have heard of those before?

13
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Raise your hand? Have you heard of those before?

14
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

15
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>So these are going to be Oh I gotta get

16
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>this pen. Okay, so this this is the powerful anointed pen.

17
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the pastor Dwayne Penn.

18
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>So, Pastor Dwayne, if you're listening, I'm totally keeping this, okay.

19
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh But so the office gifts, these are the fivefold gifts.

20
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>These are gonna be out of Ephesians four. Everyone say

21
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Ephesians four. Okay, So if you want to do some

22
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>homework on that, you can do that. I don't have

23
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>time to read it today. The motivational gifts, these are

24
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>like ways that people are motivated to serve. That's the

25
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>traditional way that people look at it. And so motivational

26
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>gifts are out of Romans twelve. Everyone say Romans twelve, perfect, okay.

27
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 2>And then the manifestational gifts. These are the gifts that

28
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>you can think about these as like the gifts of

29
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the Holy Spirit. Traditionally we talk about it like that,

30
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>these are ways that God, the Holy Spirit manifests himself

31
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>in the earth through these gifts. And so you have

32
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>things like the prophetic right, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues,

33
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>gifts of healings, that kind of thing, And so that

34
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>would be out of one Corinthians twelve.

35
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Everyone say one Corinthians twelve. Okay. So we have a

36
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>few cool.

37
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Things happening today, and I want to chat through a

38
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>few of these, and then we're going to go into

39
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a few billion points. One thing about gifts is is

40
00:01:52.439 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>that they're super important. Why is a gift important? Helps

41
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the body grow, it blesses shows God's glory. Think about

42
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>when you give a gift on Christmas. If you're giving

43
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a gift, what does it say about the person you're

44
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>giving it to? They're valued, they're loved, they're respected, they're esteemed. Right,

45
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>we give gifts to others because it's actually a form

46
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of honor because you're seeing them as they are, as

47
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>a child of the King. So it's important for us

48
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>when we think about gifts. It's the same way God

49
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>loves to give gifts to people because it shows his

50
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>honor and his value, his esteem for them.

51
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

52
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we're gonna chat through a few of these differences.

53
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 2>First off, these office gifts are five full ministry giftings. Okay,

54
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>we look at these. There's something interesting about these. The

55
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>person is actually the gift. Let me say that again,

56
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>the person is actually the gift. Who are they given

57
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to the Body of Christ, the body of believers. So

58
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>we're called as the collective Church, big c Church, not

59
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>just UFUS here but everywhere around the world. We're collectively

60
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>called the Church or the Ecclesea. But we're the Body

61
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>of Christ.

62
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And so these five.

63
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Groupings of giftings have been given to the Church for

64
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>us to equip the saints for the work of ministry.

65
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>We think these five full ministers are there to do

66
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the ministry, and we just sit and watch them do it.

67
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>How many grew up with that as a reality. Be honest, Okay,

68
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>you're doing it right now, Just kidding, just kidding. But

69
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at this and they are meant to equip

70
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you for the works of ministry. They don't actually, can

71
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I tell you something. They don't have to be the

72
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>most flashy gifting like, for example, prophet. They don't have

73
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to be the most prophetic one in the room to

74
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>be called a prophet.

75
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 1>What why?

76
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Because New Testament prophet is called to equip the saints

77
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>for the work of ministry.

78
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So what is their goal? They're under aligned desire?

79
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It's to build us up so we can say the

80
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>things that God is saying about people, to see a

81
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 2>world transformed as the world was created by words. The

82
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 2>prophet is teaching us how to prophesy so that the

83
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>world is transformed around us.

84
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>They're equipping us. Everyone say amen.

85
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>But they don't have to be the flashiest prophetic voice

86
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>in the world to be considered a prophet. An office

87
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>of a prophet? Does that make sense? Do they have

88
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 2>a gifting in the prophetic? Oh for sure, Oh for sure.

89
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>But there's a separation between an office gift and a

90
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>manifestational gift. Okay, we could look at the other ones evangelists, apostle, pastor, teach.

91
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>We look at these five and how many have heard

92
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of these five titles before?

93
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

94
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>But what do we call everyone in the church? I

95
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>mean leaders, leaders, pastors. Generally we use the term pastor.

96
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, on the New Testament, this word is hardly

97
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>ever used. Yeah, just once, and if you include shepherd,

98
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 2>you could include a few more times because the pastor

99
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>is a shepherd. But yeah, one time, which means, why

100
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>do we call everyone a pastor? Are you saying eighty

101
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 2>five percent of the church or pastors? I'm asking you

102
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>yes or no?

103
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>No?

104
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Because look at the new look at the New Testament.

105
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>What is the most one of the most common terms

106
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>is apostle. That's interesting. We don't call anyone apostle hardly

107
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>in ever on your business card? Do you have apostle? Okay,

108
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>probably not, And there's a reason for it, right. It's

109
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 2>the key people from being self declared apostles or prophets.

110
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>You can't be self declared something. God has to call

111
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>you out. Okay, I'll preach it to myself if I

112
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>need to. Okay, I'll turn this way. I'll just keep going,

113
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 2>just you and me.

114
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So, but so these are very interesting, they're needed,

115
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>we need them, so they deserve honor.

116
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Why because Jesus thought it was a good idea for

117
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 2>us to have them. So probably we need to lean

118
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 2>into it because we need to be equipped for the

119
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>works of ministry.

120
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Who are the ministers us? Ever?

121
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Say, I'm a minister? Wait, but I'm not a pastor?

122
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Can I minister?

123
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Where are you called? Are you called the lows?

124
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, then it's time for you to start discipling

125
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the nations at lows? And how are you going to

126
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 2>do it? How are you going to transform culture? How

127
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 2>is this whole thing going to get transformed? It's when

128
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>all of us start doing the stuff. What did Jesus do?

129
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Healed the sick, cast it out demons, made disciples, he taught,

130
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>he preached, he loved on people.

131
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He served. That's what he did.

132
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>That was his whole ministry, and he turned the world

133
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 2>upside down in three years of ministry. Imagine if you

134
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>were Jesus at your workplace, I mean, if you actually

135
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>viewed yourself and I actually viewed myself as Jesus on

136
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>this world. The Bible says, In this world, we are like, oh, bro,

137
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>where are our Bible readers at? Okay, okay, okay, I'm

138
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>getting fired up now I'm coming out here. Sorry, cameraman,

139
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>team Okay. So in this world we are like who

140
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>oh that was quiet. I heard a few right here,

141
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Jen. In this world we are like Jesus.

142
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

143
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 2>In this world, we are like Jesus. Wait say that again.

144
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 2>In this world we are like, wait, what does that mean?

145
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean? You are exactly like Jesus manifested

146
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 2>on the earth. When he comes and lives in you

147
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 2>and you abide in him, become exactly what you behold.

148
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And the reason maybe why we're not becoming what we

149
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:13.079
<v Speaker 2>behold is because we're actually not beholding him. We're beholding

150
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a version of Western Christianity that we've inherited, but maybe

151
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not a full image in picture of Christ. And

152
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm preaching on myself because there are so many areas

153
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>of my life where I am lay z Everyone say lazy,

154
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Zach stopping lazy.

155
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Say that I received that word. That's good, that's a rebuke,

156
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that's healthy. Out that helps. But it's important for us to.

157
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Know we need to be equipped because these are not

158
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the ministers the.

159
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>New Testament reality. We don't believe it. Oh, I can't

160
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>believe it. This room doesn't believe it.

161
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Right now, literally, these people are not the ministers, but

162
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 2>we have raised them up like they are.

163
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>You are the ministers. The world is.

164
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Transformed through Their job is to get you to believe it.

165
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm trying to do right now. I'm trying

166
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 2>to get you to believe that you're a big deal

167
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>in this spirit, that when you speak, things change, your

168
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere shift around you because you believe in God.

169
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>You're not a victim. You're a victor. Just difficult things

170
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>happen to you.

171
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but you overcome by the blood of the Lamb

172
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>and the word of his testimony. Okay, so those are okay,

173
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 2>ever and state that's the office gifts. Okay, that's you

174
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>have to calm down, Zach, all.

175
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Right, all right.

176
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Next up, we have the motivational gifts we talked about.

177
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>These are the ones like serving. So these are typically

178
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.679
<v Speaker 2>seeing as ones how you serve or you're motivated to

179
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>serve other people in so you have a few different ones. Prophecies, serving, teaching, encouragement, giving, leading, mercy.

180
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>You've also maybe heard like administration or gift of helps,

181
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>that kind of thing. So those are all ways that

182
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>people could be motivated or they look at motivation.

183
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna talk about that today. Everyone say boo.

184
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's okay, come back tomorrow, maybe I'll be here

185
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>we can talk about it. Manifestational these are, like we said,

186
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>these are things where Holy Spirit comes in a room

187
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>and he changes everything. So, for example, a word I'm

188
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna start in the second one word of knowledge. A

189
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 2>word of knowledge is a supernatural drop of knowledge. It's

190
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>not like learned knowledge. It's not book knowledge. It's not

191
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>something that you learned from your parents, it's not something

192
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>you learn from your college professor. It's something that the

193
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit dropped in your spirit that you would have

194
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 2>never known.

195
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And who's it? Typically for somebody else?

196
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So a word of knowledge could be like, for example,

197
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>like today, so somebody passor Geary had a word of

198
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>knowledge that somebody needed healing in a certain area.

199
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 1>So he had a supernatural.

200
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Basically dropping his spirit of knowledge that somebody in the

201
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 2>body needed healing in a particular area.

202
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, does that make sense? Are we doing good? So

203
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>far Okay, A word of wisdom is a step further.

204
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Word of wisdom would be like if you have a

205
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 2>word of knowledge, and maybe it's I use a business

206
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>example in first service, I'll use it here and be

207
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 2>like if you had a business and it was failing

208
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, God, I don't know why what is happening?

209
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 1>And you start praying about it, and then somebody.

210
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Gives you a word that says, hey, I just see

211
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>that there was some dark, demonic stuff that happened in

212
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>this business before you got here, and actually I feel

213
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 2>like some stuff needs to be cast out, and you

214
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>actually need to get rid of some of these things

215
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that are still in your warehouse.

216
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a word of knowledge.

217
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Something is wrong in your business, right, And and then

218
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>the word of knowledge goes a step further and gives

219
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 2>you direction of what to do taking this step further.

220
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's a word of knowledge, word of wisdom. You

221
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>have a gift of faith. Gift of faith is someone

222
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.039
<v Speaker 2>who believes something that is unrational for a normal Christian

223
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to believe, even those who are faith filled. Pastor Dennis, Okay,

224
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 2>everyone look at Dennis, say that is you, bro I've

225
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 2>worked with him enough in youth group and enough on

226
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>mission trips to see you're crazy, man, you're crazy.

227
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>But you know what the gift of faith does.

228
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>It excites other people to faith, that's their gift, okay,

229
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and in locks and makes way for other things that

230
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>start happening.

231
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

232
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Gifts of healings in the Greek it's a double plural,

233
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>everyone say double plural gifts of healings, which means you

234
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 2>have multiple types of gifts and multiple ways that people

235
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>are healed. So you may look at somebody who operates

236
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>in gifts of healing and they pray for somebody, maybe

237
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>like a Benny Hinn or something, and he's like waving

238
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>staff and Holy Spirit's fall and you're like, bro, that

239
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen when I pray. Well, maybe because your gift

240
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of healing actually operates in a different way. And we've

241
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 2>talked about how in the Body of Christ, each of

242
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>it's been set. Actually, let's go to that verse. Let's

243
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 2>go to one Corinthians twelfth. We'll read through this now

244
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.799
<v Speaker 2>to each one, the manifestation of the Spirit is given

245
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.399
<v Speaker 2>for the common what good? Remember this is the manifestational

246
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 2>gifts to one there is given through the spirit a

247
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>message or that word is logos in the Greek, which

248
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>literally means word, a word of wisdom to another, a

249
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>message of knowledge by means of the same What spirit? Oh,

250
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 2>so we need the Holy Spirit to another faith by

251
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 2>the same spirit to another. Gifts it should be gifts

252
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 2>of healings. That's a translation to simplify it. Everyone would

253
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>read that and be like, why is it double plural?

254
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.279
<v Speaker 2>We don't use that in English. Gifts of healings by

255
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 2>that one spirit to another. Miraculous powers that is actually

256
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 2>double plural. Workings of miracles, interesting, multiple ways people, multiple

257
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>gifts within that multiple workings and multiple powers that are.

258
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Released to another. Is prophecy to another.

259
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Distinguishing between spirits or discerning discernings of spirits. That's say,

260
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>double plural, multiple way to discern what's happening.

261
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>And there's multiple types of spirits. Does that make sense? Okay?

262
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>And another speaking in different kinds of tongues and to

263
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>still another the interpretation of tongues. Okay, So we have those,

264
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 2>but they're given for the common good, which means they're

265
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>not just for you. You are not your own, your

266
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 2>body at a price. So each member belongs to all

267
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 2>the others. So I wonder why the world hasn't been

268
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>transformed yet. You ever have a thought. I'm gonna tell

269
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>you some crazy Can you forgive me in advance? Okay,

270
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>pre forgiveness? Everyone say I pre forgiven. Some of you

271
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.080
<v Speaker 2>aren't doing it, and I can tell on your face.

272
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Forgive them. God, they'd know not what they do. What if.

273
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Every generation who's thought Jesus is coming back in their generation?

274
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>How many thought that?

275
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm saying it could happen, but every generation thought

276
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that more or less?

277
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Right?

278
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Do they hear wrong? Did they think wrong? Maybe it's

279
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>because Jesus coming back has something to do with us.

280
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh you don't believe it. I'll say it again. Maybe

281
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Jesus coming back actually has something to do with us.

282
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>We look at the doom and gloom and times.

283
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>But if you read the.

284
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 2>End of the story, where does Heaven go? Heaven comes here,

285
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Heaven comes to earth. Jesus tells us to pray your

286
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 2>kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it

287
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.799
<v Speaker 2>is in heaven. It would be really stupid for Jesus

288
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to teach that if he was just gonna blow this

289
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>whole thing up anyway, really dumb, Some mean si don't

290
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 2>believe it.

291
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't make sense.

292
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Because if we have the belief system that everything's just

293
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna end now or end whenever God decides, right, because

294
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.679
<v Speaker 2>he decides when. But if we take no ownership over

295
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>our part, then Jesus literally died for nothing.

296
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>You understand, it would have been more powerful for.

297
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Jesus just to stay on the earth than for us to.

298
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Be an unbelief and do nothing.

299
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 2>But we've been so deceived by end Time's theology that

300
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>disempowers our productivity on the earth. But let's just think

301
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:04.680
<v Speaker 2>about it in simplicity. Why why would Jesus leave and

302
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>then replicate himself in every believer and then tell us

303
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 2>to make the earth like heaven. It's because he's restoring

304
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Eden through us. Oh man, some of us are still

305
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>not getting it. He is restorting Eden through us through

306
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>our partnership.

307
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 1>We are the sons and daughters. We are the redeemed.

308
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is called the last Adam.

309
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Why because we don't need another one? What was Adam

310
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the king of the garden the world? He inherited the world,

311
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and so do we through Jesus. So there's a reason

312
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 2>why we're giving this stuff. It's not just to save

313
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>everyone that we can, which is true, but I'll tell

314
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 2>you me, growing up, everything was about just saving people

315
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and almost zero about discipling nations.

316
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>That was my inheritance.

317
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 2>And I sat there, like, I don't really care about

318
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.839
<v Speaker 2>saving people? Can I be honest in my natural bent?

319
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not bent like an evangelist. You talk to an evangelist,

320
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like all they think about, dude. Everyone said, yeah,

321
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.599
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of annoying. Okay, Okay, I literally talked to

322
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>an evangelist and I'm like, you kind of get tired.

323
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>You're like, bro, you're so visionary and you're like moving

324
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.559
<v Speaker 2>around so much. You just can you just slow down

325
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 2>for like a second, Like, let's just who are discipling?

326
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He's like, just save everybody? Right, I'm talking about so

327
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>and maybe right now, and they probably know who I'm

328
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 2>talking about.

329
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay.

330
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 2>But but that's what we think. We're all made different,

331
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and we're all made in the image of Christ, and

332
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.200
<v Speaker 2>we all matter, and we're all put in the body

333
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>for a reason because we're restoring the earth.

334
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, we need to move on. Are you guys ready?

335
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Praise God? Some of you?

336
00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>You can't say praise God like that. Some of you

337
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 2>said it like praise God. We're almost done with this service.

338
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>I get this guy, Pastor Dwayne, come back, Please don't

339
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 2>go on vacation again, your youth pastors preaching?

340
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Where did I put my pen? There? Is? Okay? So

341
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 1>there's actually a.

342
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Better way to look at the gifts. I feel like,

343
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>maybe not better. Another advantageous way to look at the

344
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>gifts is actually the word for gift. Because remember the

345
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 2>new testimony we have was written in Greek, not English,

346
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 2>so it's translated to English, and so we even talked

347
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 2>about we read one Corinthians twelve. There are some words

348
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 2>in there that weren't fully accurate, but they were translated

349
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.519
<v Speaker 2>because of simplicity of messaging. Right, if you're gonna give

350
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a full translation to mean something, sometimes you have to

351
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>write something three four, five times longer than what was

352
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>actually given. And then it starts to water down the

353
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.400
<v Speaker 2>clarity of the message, right, because you're getting the specificity

354
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and you're losing the watering down. So we got to

355
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 2>look sometimes into the Greek to find out what's the true?

356
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else.

357
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 2>In the Greek that maybe we can glean from what

358
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 2>was happening back then, and there actually are some things.

359
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 2>So there are actually words for gift in the New

360
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Testament in the Grief Greek that I want to go through.

361
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>First one is there's five I'm going to go through.

362
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

363
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.240
<v Speaker 2>And actually before I do that, I want to give

364
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:14.039
<v Speaker 2>an example. So in English we're very generalized. So who's

365
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 2>going to be a victim? Raise your hand? Who's a victim? Sofia?

366
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 1>You just okay, Sophia just got lane.

367
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's great. She's not a victim, she's a victor.

368
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>She's she picked on Lane Lane. Would you prefer that

369
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 2>your sister do it?

370
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So seven say yy?

371
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Sophia self volunteered. Okay, So, Sofia, what like tell me

372
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>something like you love food?

373
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You love food? Okay, so like what's your favorite food? Pasta? Pasta?

374
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, perfect? Okay, I have another question. Do you do

375
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 2>you love your brother?

376
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? God, we just pray for Sophia right now.

377
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.759
<v Speaker 2>There's a little bigger it's a little begrudging, but it's okay,

378
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 2>it's okay.

379
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It happens. They're siblings. How many of a sibling they love? Okay?

380
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 2>That's good, Okay, all right, So you love lane, but

381
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you also love pizza.

382
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you want to eat lane? Pasa? You're right?

383
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Not pastor not?

384
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Wait?

385
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.160
<v Speaker 1>What did I say? Pizza? Where are we at? What's

386
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 1>going on? Pastor?

387
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Dwayne?

388
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Come back? Okay?

389
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>So you love Pasa and you love your brother, but

390
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to eat your brother? How did we

391
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>understand what kind of love? She was talking about? Context,

392
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 2>because in the English we just use the same word

393
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>for everything, and it may be very confusing if you're

394
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>from anyone confused sometimes with the English language, if it's

395
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 2>your second language, and you're like, what in the world

396
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>he's the same word for that?

397
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, guess what? The same thing happens for gift.

398
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>We use gift for present, right, we say like, give

399
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it a present, But we also say like that person's

400
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 2>gifted encoding, like they're good at computer science.

401
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 1>So we use both. But it depends on the context.

402
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, in the Greek there's, like I said, there's five

403
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>different words for gift, so it's important for us to

404
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>know which one do we have and what are we

405
00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about?

406
00:21:59.559 --> 00:21:59.759
<v Speaker 1>We do?

407
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, so the first one is called anathema. Everyone

408
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>say anathema. Okay, This is used one time and it's

409
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in Luke twenty one and it's used to describe it

410
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.160
<v Speaker 2>consecrated gifts in the temple. Are we talking about that here? No,

411
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 2>we're not talking about that. Okay, So that's forget it?

412
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Everyone say, I forgot it? Did you forget it already?

413
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Praise God? You're tuned into holy spirit? He already pre

414
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 2>deleted that one, all right? Ready, next one is corbin

415
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>another specific use for word for another specific word for gift.

416
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.039
<v Speaker 2>It's used in a temple treasury context. So did you

417
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>forget that one already? What was that word? Okay?

418
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You didn't?

419
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 2>I tested you forget it now though. Okay, here's the

420
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.640
<v Speaker 2>next one. Numtikos. Everyone say numatikos. If you know anything

421
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>about the Greek, what does numa stand for? Spirit win breath?

422
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 2>And so it actually in the Greek it's translated spiritual gift.

423
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 2>But that's not what it means. It means spirituals, like

424
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 2>spiritual things. But why do they translate it spiritual gift

425
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 2>in the New Testament?

426
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Why? Because of clarity?

427
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>They want something easily understood based within context. But we're

428
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.039
<v Speaker 2>not talking about new matikos in these We're actually gonna

429
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>be talking about these other two. One is and I'm

430
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>just gonna write them right here, so you're just gonna

431
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>have to suffer. Everyone say praise God. First one is

432
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 2>ditto me. Everyone say diddom. It's a pokemon.

433
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh. So this is diddo me. I'm sorry if I

434
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:26.799
<v Speaker 1>offended some people? Uh did a me?

435
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>And then this next one is a charisma and even

436
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 2>more narrow down, keis, does anyone know what charras means?

437
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Grace?

438
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.720
<v Speaker 2>So we have diddom, which all these other words in

439
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 2>the Greek boil down to this base word. It's actually

440
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>a verb, it's not actually the noun. So you're like,

441
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't mean gift. It means to gift. Okay, just

442
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Speaker 2>slow down, Okay, all the words come from this. So

443
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.640
<v Speaker 2>diddo me means gift or present. Okay, So I'm gonna

444
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 2>put this as a present in a more traditional context. Okay,

445
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 2>like if I was going to give a gift to you,

446
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>like in the traditional context, like a present.

447
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what it means. So everyone heard.

448
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Of the gift of righteousness that we got through Jesus.

449
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a Dinimi gift, gift of the Holy Spirit. Didimi gift? Interesting?

450
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Huh?

451
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so charisma is different. It's a grace gift. Grace gift. Now,

452
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>grace gifts are important because a grace gift you can't earn,

453
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:37.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't deserve it. Does that make sense? Because it's grace,

454
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>God's grace towards you. And we're gonna find something. There's

455
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 2>something amazing and something very frustrating about these type of gifts.

456
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>But first I want to take a poll. How many

457
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.279
<v Speaker 2>think the office gifts are the didome or the charisma?

458
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

459
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 2>So if you think the office gifts profit a vangels, apostile,

460
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>pastor teacher, If you think those are ditome, can I

461
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 2>have you raised your hand?

462
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

463
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 2>If you think they're the charisma gifts, raise your hand.

464
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.160
<v Speaker 2>If you didn't raise your hand, raise your hand. Okay,

465
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's actually drummer please, okay, let's try it again.

466
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Proved all right, drumroll please? That was still not good. Okay,

467
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 2>that's fine. This is the Didoman gifts, which is a present.

468
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a present to.

469
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.240
<v Speaker 2>The body of Christ, literally, like a gift He's giving

470
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>directly to us. What about the motivational How many things charisma?

471
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

472
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>How many things didomia or didoman nobody. Some of you

473
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.319
<v Speaker 2>aren't even sure. Now you're like, well, the first one

474
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 2>was dinner me, so for sure, that's not it. How

475
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>many didn't raise your hand? How many still didn't raise

476
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 2>their hand the first time? Okay, thank you all right?

477
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:54.200
<v Speaker 2>So the motivational gifts are actually charisma. They're charisma gifts,

478
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:59.400
<v Speaker 2>which means grace gifts. Very interesting. So these these gifts,

479
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.079
<v Speaker 2>you could do nothing to earn them. They were given freely.

480
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 2>They say everything about God's character and nothing about yours.

481
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:11.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll say that again. They have everything to do with

482
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 2>God's character, nothing to do with yours. But we like

483
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to think we earn them because we're cool. We get

484
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.880
<v Speaker 2>into Christianity and we're saved by grace through faith, and

485
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 2>then as soon as we're saved, we start works to

486
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 2>try to prove ourself worthy. And that's why we still

487
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 2>suffer internally because we don't understand there's literally nothing you

488
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 2>could do to earn it.

489
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>We literally deserve death.

490
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 2>We got mercy and then he pours out all these

491
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>free gifts on us. But we think now we got

492
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 2>to earn it now, No, it's opposite. We actually work

493
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>from grace. We don't work for grace.

494
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Were doing?

495
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, give me a thumbs up. If you're doing okay,

496
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 2>tell your partner whispering there and please help me. I

497
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

498
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>This guy's crazy.

499
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 2>This guy's crazy. You just tell your neighbor. I saw

500
00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 2>you guys whispering.

501
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Don't be doing that. And last up is manifestational. Can

502
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:03.519
<v Speaker 1>we have fun?

503
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Is it?

504
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

505
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm sorry in advance. Okay, I'm just am manifestational

506
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 2>one Corinthians twelve. What do you think did ami or charisma?

507
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Didimi or chrisma Chrisma? You guys think, yeah, you're right. Okay, okay,

508
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you guys are too smart. Well, what does this mean?

509
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.319
<v Speaker 2>These are given by the grace of God. The power

510
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 2>of His spirit flows through us. Here's the problem. It's

511
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.839
<v Speaker 2>by grace. So we can look at all these big

512
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>time leaders in the church and we start to get disillusioned,

513
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Like God, why are all these leaders failing? They had

514
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>massive gifts, massive they could move a room with their gift.

515
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>The world would literally open up before them because of

516
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>their gift. And we get frustrated and we're like God,

517
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>what why did you give them that gift? You knew

518
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna mess it up.

519
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, same reason he gives you the gifts because

520
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 2>he knew you're gonna mess it up. How many after

521
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the way he saved ever messed it up? Wow, some

522
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:19.640
<v Speaker 2>of you are like super perfect? Okay, on anyone wanted

523
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to take it like, you should take it up because

524
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I've messed up probably a thousand times after

525
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:25.000
<v Speaker 2>being a Christian.

526
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:29.599
<v Speaker 1>There's no grace in the room for me.

527
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.839
<v Speaker 2>There. I'm just saying, you gotta have more grace. But

528
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:35.279
<v Speaker 2>we look at this and I'm like, why have these

529
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.359
<v Speaker 2>people failed? It's because it has nothing to do with

530
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 2>their character. God gave them a sword, and the fruit

531
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 2>of the spirit may not be built up yet, but

532
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.799
<v Speaker 2>he gave him a sword.

533
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Why Because He's so.

534
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Waiting for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed.

535
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Who's gonna walk in power of God? He will literally

536
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>use anyone. And we're too bored sitting at home watching

537
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>another show, not realizing the high calling that we have

538
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 2>nothing wrong with watching a show, But we're so distracted

539
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in the West away from our true purpose in calling

540
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.119
<v Speaker 2>that we don't understand that God is waiting.

541
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.279
<v Speaker 1>For these to be revealed through us.

542
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>You understand the Corinthian church that Paul's writing to here

543
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.599
<v Speaker 2>was messed up. People were in incests, people were in

544
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 2>lawsuits in the church against each other. This isn't like

545
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>a megachurch, guys, and they were messed up. But what

546
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>was so profound about them that they actually believed God

547
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to use them? So are we willing to look

548
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:53.640
<v Speaker 2>at each other and look at ourselves in the mirror

549
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.599
<v Speaker 2>and be okay with God?

550
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I can't earn this, I don't deserve it. You've given

551
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 1>me a giant sword.

552
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Teach me how to teach me how to wield this well?

553
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 2>And obviously we don't want people to fall. We can

554
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.480
<v Speaker 2>be disappointed about that. But let's look at a Romans

555
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 2>eleven twenty nine. For God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.

556
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>God's gifts that word forgift there is charisma. God's grace,

557
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 2>gift and his call are irrevocable. What does that mean?

558
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:30.519
<v Speaker 2>It's irrevocable. It's for keeps. You can't be taken back.

559
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.359
<v Speaker 2>God's gifts and his call are irrevocable, meaning He's not

560
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna take it back from you because he so believes

561
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:38.759
<v Speaker 2>in you.

562
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Why I've messed it up.

563
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I mean who hasn't in this room? Next

564
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 2>one eleven twenty nine. This is King James. For the

565
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 2>gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God is

566
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>not sad about giving the gifts.

567
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Did disappointed when people misuse gifts, but.

568
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:05.359
<v Speaker 2>He's not sad about giving it because he still believes

569
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>in people. Paul was a murderer and then in the

570
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:16.680
<v Speaker 2>next moment he wasn't. Could that happen in the West now,

571
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know. He became pastor of churches.

572
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I think we'd have to put him through a thirty

573
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 2>year process and then maybe he can serve on the

574
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 2>parking lot team. I'm not saying people have to walk

575
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 2>through a process. I'm just saying we have to understand

576
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 2>the hyster historical reality of how mess up these people

577
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 2>are and how mess up we are, and the grace

578
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.039
<v Speaker 2>of God that's immense for everybody.

579
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but here's the thing.

580
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>This will get you into a room, This will wild

581
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 2>the crowds, This is flashy and showy, but the thing

582
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna sustain you in the room is gonna be

583
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:03.720
<v Speaker 2>your integrity, your character, your fruit of the spirit. So

584
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the reason these leaders are falling is because they developed

585
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and cultivated the gift because it's easy, it doesn't depend

586
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:14.200
<v Speaker 2>on them. But the fruits do depend on them, meaning

587
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.720
<v Speaker 2>you have to spend time with the fruit bearer to

588
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 2>become what you behold, and that takes time and a process, and.

589
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.359
<v Speaker 1>It's easy to skip one and do the other.

590
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>So I want us to be a people who not

591
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:32.039
<v Speaker 2>only stewart and value the character in a church environment

592
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>where we go to conferences where that we just know

593
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the pastor and the leader whoever's speaking is pure and righteous,

594
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and not just because they're flashy and showy. Because we're

595
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>just as responsible for raising up these leaders.

596
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh that hurt.

597
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>We're just as responsible for raising up these leaders because

598
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>all we want is a show. Give us the glory.

599
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 2>But I don't want to change. I don't want to

600
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>be different. Ouch. Well that just took a turn. I'm sorry.

601
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 2>This is supposed to be lighthearted. Oh everyone say God,

602
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 2>thank you. But God just wants someone to believe that

603
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>he can use them, and he'll use literally anyone. Say

604
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:29.279
<v Speaker 2>he'll use me, Say he'll use me. Do you believe

605
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it's irrevocable? Some of us don't. We're gonna end here.

606
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I think.

607
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to We're not gonna read. I'm just gonna

608
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:46.960
<v Speaker 2>summarize it. For Samuel twenty eight. If you remember this story,

609
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Saul is no longer the Lord had departed from Saul.

610
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>He's already raised up David as the next leader anointed one. Right,

611
00:33:56.079 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 2>but Saul's still king. Okay, Saul is still king. And

612
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>so at the end of Saul's life, King Saul is

613
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>no longer being answered by the Lord by prophets, by dreams,

614
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 2>or by the urim, which is the high priest way

615
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 2>of determining a yes or no, basically from God.

616
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>So he literally.

617
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 2>God was not speaking to him at all in a

618
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.519
<v Speaker 2>way that.

619
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>He could receive. So what did King Saul do? Didn't

620
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you remember that story?

621
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.639
<v Speaker 2>He visits a witch, the Witch of Endor. So he

622
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:29.599
<v Speaker 2>visits a witch, which is funny because he was the

623
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:31.920
<v Speaker 2>one responsible for getting rid of all the spiritists and

624
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 2>mediums and which is from the realm. So he sent

625
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 2>them away, and then he has to He's like, whoa,

626
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.639
<v Speaker 2>He's thinking in his head, well, I don't hear from

627
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:42.199
<v Speaker 2>God at all, so I'm gonna manipulum late my way to.

628
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Get a word.

629
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to access the gifts to another way.

630
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 1>That's why will never get you there. So Saul.

631
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Goes to this witch and I don't know what kind

632
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.280
<v Speaker 2>of crazy evil was going on, but she was able

633
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to call someone up from the dead the Place of

634
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dead, which, by the way, I don't think is

635
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 2>possible anymore because someone now holds the keys.

636
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>His name's Jesus. She brings up someone from the dead,

637
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and who does he ask to be brought up? Samuel?

638
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Saul, what are you thinking, dude, The last time you

639
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>talked to Samuel, he gave you a word that your

640
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 2>kingdom was going to be given to someone else, probably

641
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:51.119
<v Speaker 2>not the first prophet. I'd go see anyone else, Okay.

642
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Kind of crazy. So she brings up sid crazy story.

643
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.320
<v Speaker 2>She brings up Samuel the Place of the dead. Why

644
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>because at that time they still had access the dermonic

645
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:08.440
<v Speaker 2>realms selled access to that area through witchcraft. So brings

646
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>him up and he's basically like, you know one of

647
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:12.159
<v Speaker 2>these like.

648
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Why are you disturbing me?

649
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Man?

650
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 1>You know I've been dead. He's been dead. Are we

651
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 1>doing Okay?

652
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's stand I need to I need you to help

653
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>me here. He's been dead, and he comes up and

654
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the lady who's performing this whole thing finds out it's Samuel, Samuel,

655
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the prophet Samuel. She starts freaking out because he's like, oh, dang,

656
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 2>your soul, I'm dead.

657
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.440
<v Speaker 1>She thinks I'm dead. This is a trap. And Sol's like, no, no, no,

658
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, it's fine. Fine.

659
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So he talks to Samuel and Samuel just get just

660
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>blasts him like, bro, tomorrow you're gonna die and your

661
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 2>sons a terrible word. He didn't really think that through.

662
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.800
<v Speaker 2>But what's the crazy part about that story?

663
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you see it?

664
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Samuel still had the gift of prophecy he was dead,

665
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 2>that gift was irrevocable. Let me tell you another story.

666
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Let me look at the heading. I think the second Kings. Yeah,

667
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Second King's thirteen. This next one we're going to talk

668
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>about is about Elisha, the double portioned son of Elijah,

669
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 2>not naturally but spiritually. So the crazy thing about Elijah

670
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.360
<v Speaker 2>was what happened in his life. Signs wondrous of miracles,

671
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.039
<v Speaker 2>gifts of healing, workings of miracles.

672
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>This dude was just killing it.

673
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:08.639
<v Speaker 2>But he died from a sickness. That's wild. I mean

674
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.599
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot to it. But here's a perspective. Maybe

675
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you could look at the gifts of the spirit are

676
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:23.199
<v Speaker 2>mainly for others, also for you, but mainly for others.

677
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:26.079
<v Speaker 2>So maybe the reason we don't see these things a

678
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:32.320
<v Speaker 2>whole lot is because we think they're for us. We

679
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 2>come to church because we think it's about us.

680
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that again.

681
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 2>We come to church because we think it's about us.

682
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I just need another word, I just need someone to

683
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.679
<v Speaker 2>love me. And look, it's about that. I'm not saying

684
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 2>it's not. But our focus cannot only be on us

685
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:54.440
<v Speaker 2>because we are the body of Christ, which means we

686
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.760
<v Speaker 2>need each other so bad.

687
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.360
<v Speaker 1>And this church has people who need to be healed.

688
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And maybe it's your gift that's gonna unlock it for

689
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 2>that person.

690
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's you.

691
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that prophetic word that you give that one person

692
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:16.039
<v Speaker 2>on that random day changes their entire life. And you're like,

693
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:19.079
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not a capital pee prophet. It doesn't matter.

694
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.519
<v Speaker 2>You're part of the body. We need you, you're needed.

695
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:24.719
<v Speaker 2>You're on the first team. You're called up to the

696
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:29.239
<v Speaker 2>eight squad. No more sitting on the bench, no more

697
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.639
<v Speaker 2>letting these people lead ministry. What if a people group

698
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:38.599
<v Speaker 2>a church decided no, I'm the ministry of God, and

699
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.239
<v Speaker 2>we stopped relying on the anointing of someone on the stage,

700
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.199
<v Speaker 2>and we started to carry what we've already been given.

701
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.519
<v Speaker 1>So in this story, Elisha died and was buried.

702
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring.

703
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Dif first, verse twenty one.

704
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Here's he going? If you forgive anyone's.

705
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.599
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, next next one for a second, King's thirteen,

706
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:12.239
<v Speaker 2>verse twenty one.

707
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, there we go. Once while some iss your lights.

708
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Were burying a man. Who is burying them? We're burying

709
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:22.719
<v Speaker 2>a man. Suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so

710
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 2>they threw the man's body into a lycious tomb. What

711
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:38.280
<v Speaker 2>elycis dead? Like, he's dead dead, He's in a tomb.

712
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:40.440
<v Speaker 2>And these guys are freaking out. They're like all the

713
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.320
<v Speaker 2>raiders are coming, and I just can imagine them being like, ugh,

714
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:46.079
<v Speaker 2>but we gotta bury him, you know, we still gott

715
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 2>to bury him, Like we can just leave him here.

716
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:49.519
<v Speaker 2>And so they're like, they still did their job. So

717
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:51.280
<v Speaker 2>praise God, they did their job. Everyone give it up

718
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:51.679
<v Speaker 2>for those two.

719
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:52.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you in.

720
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Heaven, hopefully.

721
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 1>That would be awesome, well done. If we see you.

722
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>They're walking around like everyone in Heaven's walk around with

723
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.519
<v Speaker 2>these accomplishments, you know, things he did. And this dude's like, yeah,

724
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I threw that guy into Elisias too.

725
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.079
<v Speaker 1>And so when the body touched elycious bones, the man

726
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>came to life and stood up on his feet.

727
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Literally they tossed him and he hit the bone. Could

728
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 2>you imagine waking up and you're next door dead dude,

729
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 2>You're like, what just happened? And then worse, a band

730
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of raiders comes to your tomb, you walk out, They're

731
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.280
<v Speaker 2>like last spring they ever came.

732
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you that. But here's the point.

733
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:45.760
<v Speaker 2>The gift followed him to death. Even death cannot stop

734
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:54.199
<v Speaker 2>your gift. Your mess ups, your mistakes cannot erase your gift.

735
00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:57.159
<v Speaker 2>You may have to walk through a little bit of

736
00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:00.559
<v Speaker 2>a process to maybe get to restore, to pass or

737
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:02.840
<v Speaker 2>something like that. But I'll tell you what God so

738
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.360
<v Speaker 2>believes in you. He gave it to you for keeps.

739
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.400
<v Speaker 2>He gave it to you for keeps because he believes

740
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that much in you. So here's the part, here's the

741
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 2>caveat the big catch. Who is the giver? And operator

742
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of these gifts. Holy Spirit. We need Holy Spirit. If

743
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you've never been baptized in the Holy Spirit, this is

744
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.599
<v Speaker 2>not baptized in water. By the way, baptized in water

745
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:35.360
<v Speaker 2>is repentance. You were dead in your sins. We killed

746
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.519
<v Speaker 2>you in the tub. You were dead. Some of you

747
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:42.880
<v Speaker 2>stayed down a long time because you really needed to die,

748
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and then we brought you back up and you had

749
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:51.599
<v Speaker 2>new life in Christ's that's beginner. That's one oh one. Okay.

750
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Another thing you need is the baptist in the Holy Spirit.

751
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.079
<v Speaker 2>You need to be baptizo. You need to be immersed

752
00:42:58.480 --> 00:42:59.519
<v Speaker 2>in the Holy Spirit.

753
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Because I'll tell.

754
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.960
<v Speaker 2>You what, a world's not transformed just because we're awesome.

755
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Or we're naturally charismatic.

756
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:10.719
<v Speaker 2>We need the charisma of the Holy Ghosts to come

757
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:12.039
<v Speaker 2>and transform our world.

758
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>And so here's what I'm gonna do.

759
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonnavite Destiny team up and we're gonna go after it.

760
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:21.960
<v Speaker 2>If you have never been baptized in the Holy Spirit,

761
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:26.119
<v Speaker 2>I want to invite you forward. Because the baptism being

762
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.719
<v Speaker 2>immersed in the Holy Spirit, like you are immersed in

763
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.519
<v Speaker 2>the waters of baptism, something happens. If it was important

764
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:35.880
<v Speaker 2>enough for Jesus not to begin his earthly ministry until

765
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.159
<v Speaker 2>he was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the Holy

766
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Spirit descended on him like a dove. If it was

767
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.840
<v Speaker 2>good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

768
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.840
<v Speaker 1>So we need it. I believe this is in my.

769
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Humble opinion, this is the reason why the church has

770
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.800
<v Speaker 2>been so powerless because we either think we've been baptized

771
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:57.719
<v Speaker 2>already because we have a misunderstanding.

772
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Of the two baptisms, or we just don't.

773
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:04.519
<v Speaker 2>We just don't believe in the miracles today, so we

774
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 2>don't welcome Holy Spirit to come and move. And so

775
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I want to give Holy Spirit the chance to move.

776
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:10.480
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna pray for the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

777
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Does that make sense? Okay, Joe, Joe Burnham, where are you? Joe?

778
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Can I have you? I'm gonna come to you.

779
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:19.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have him share really quick, thirty seconds or

780
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.480
<v Speaker 2>less about what it felt like, what it was like

781
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>getting baptized in the Holy Spirit.

782
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here we go, pute me on the spot.

783
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Man.

784

<v Speaker 3>So it was like it was amazing. So I was

785

786
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:38.239
<v Speaker 3>felt nothing but heat and just power just working through me.

787
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 3>And when I came out of it, it was it

788
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:42.559
<v Speaker 3>was I don't know, it's hard to explain. It was

789
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:48.599
<v Speaker 3>like a different me and just like I don't know,

790
00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:49.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how it worked.

791
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:54.639
<v Speaker 1>It was it was like God, Yeah, it was God.

792
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:56.199
<v Speaker 1>God came. He was immersing.

00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:57.840
<v Speaker 2>God, give it up, for give it up for Joe.

00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:02.440
<v Speaker 2>God immersed him, He immersed him. Do you want to

00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:08.320
<v Speaker 2>We want to be immersed in you. So come up

797
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 2>and get prayer. I'm just gonna pray us out.

<v Speaker 1>God, I thank you.

799
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Would you transform us into an active body ones who

800
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:19.480
<v Speaker 2>work from grace, not for grace, And so Jesus, I

801
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 2>just say in this room, we just command that the

802
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Holy Spirit, that you would work and you would flood

803
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and you would flow through every believer, that the joy

804
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:31.199
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord would be our strength, that the fire

805
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.760
<v Speaker 2>of God would come consume us. And so we release

806
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 2>that over everyone in the room today, that we're empowered

807
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.159
<v Speaker 2>by your spirit, we're baptized by your fire, and we

808
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:42.159
<v Speaker 2>thank you for it right now in Jesus' name.

809
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Amen,
