WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.720 What I want to talk about. Here's my heart. Okay, 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:06.960 here's my heart right and my heart in my heart, 3 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.320 I have spirit and soul. Everybody says spirit and soul. 4 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.120 So the spirit is on the inside, and the Spirit 5 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:23.760 is my Holy of holies like a tabernacle if you're 6 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.000 familiar and familiar with the Old Testament tabernacle. Okay, good, 7 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.839 So the Spirit is my Holy of holies. The spirit 8 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.679 man is where Holy Spirit now dwells. Anybody born in 9 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.439 the spirit in the building to be born of the spirit. 10 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.640 We were born wrong the first time. We were born 11 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.520 separated from God because we were born in the lineage 12 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.280 of first Atom and first atom messed up and we 13 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.039 were separated from God. And so because we were in 14 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.079 His loins. There's my heart. She did so good. That's 15 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.240 better than the one I did. It's pretty bad, but 16 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.159 it's pretty better than the living. Okay. I was hoping 17 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.719 for a bigger one. Let's go bigger. Let's got a 18 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.239 little bit bigger. Is it working? It's slow, but think 19 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.159 it's okay. This is more of a distorted pumpkin. But 20 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.879 we're gonna work with it. Okay. So this is the 21 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.400 spirit man on the inside. Spirit and this is the 22 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:32.159 soul out here. Okay, So when we come to the Lord, 23 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.239 when we come to the Lord, this is John three 24 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.760 three through five. Nicodemus is asking Jesus these questions, and 25 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.239 Jesus is clarifying that when you're born in the water, 26 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:48.239 that's your first berth. But to be born from above, 27 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.799 you're born of the spirit. So when we're born of 28 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.439 the spirit, this is when we receive what Jesus has 29 00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:02.680 done for us before God. And then we receive the 30 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.360 righteousness of Jesus in our spiritual bank account, right, because 31 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.240 otherwise we're bankrupt. Anybody bankrupt in the building. We were 32 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.360 all bankrupt, right, spiritually bankrupt, not talking about your checking account. 33 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.360 We were spiritually bankrupt before we came to know Jesus. 34 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.240 But when we receive what he's done for us, right, 35 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.879 when we receive what He's done for us, then the 36 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:40.680 righteousness of Jesus is credited to our spiritual account, and 37 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.159 you know, we become covered with this righteousness. But what 38 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.520 happens is is Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our 39 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:55.319 Holy of holies. Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our spirit. Right. 40 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.000 You read that not on that dumb screen, but on 41 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.599 the other screens. You can read it right, Okay, so 42 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.000 Holy Spirit dwelling in here. Now, what happens is, let's 43 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.639 go to Johnny, Let's go to first John four sixteen 44 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.159 through eighteen. What happens is that when we receive Jesus 45 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.199 and what He's done for us, then the Holy Spirit 46 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:29.400 floods our heart with love. He floods our heart with 47 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.560 love because when we come to him, we're afraid of everything, 48 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.919 and we have we even have self loathing, right, and 49 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.000 that's in it's worthd inferiority, self loathing inferiority. We don't 50 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.439 love ourselves even, right, We don't love others appropriately. We 51 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.919 can't really love others appropriately. And I mean we can 52 00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:01.080 love them conditionally, but we can't love them unconditionally. And 53 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:07.240 we can't love ourselves unconditionally, and we doubt everything about ourselves. 54 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.439 And so we have all this stuff going on. But 55 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:16.160 when the love of God comes, because we receive forgiveness, 56 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:23.160 we're brought into the family, we're given the kiss of acceptance, right, 57 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.160 And all of that is not because we've actually changed. 58 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.959 We haven't changed our address in terms of perfection, we 59 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.519 haven't become a better person. We've just accepted what he's 60 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.959 done on our behalf. We've accepted his presentation of his 61 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.160 perfection for us before the Father. And he's able to 62 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.920 do that because he shed his blood for us, because 63 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:56.399 we were due to our sins, we were worthy of 64 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.600 the wrath of God. We were worthy of the wrath 65 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.839 of God. But he took our place. He shed his blood, 66 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.680 he gave up his life. He presents us before the Father. 67 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.439 And what we were singing today is that his blood 68 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.720 ever represents us before the Father. His shed blood forever 69 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.879 represents us before the Father. And he's become the Bible 70 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.160 tells us the intercessor. Now, that's somebody who stands in 71 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.120 between you and another. An intercessor is the one who 72 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.199 stands between you, and he's standing between us and God. 73 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.560 And when we accept him and we look to him 74 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.360 and we abide in him, then he says to God, 75 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.680 this one's hidden in me, this one's covered, this one's 76 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.399 hidden in me, this one has I've brought this one 77 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:53.160 into the family because they have hidden themselves in me. Right, 78 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.079 And so this is happening. And when that happens, then 79 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.560 oh you took control, okay. So and when it happens, 80 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.360 then all of this love pours into us. And we 81 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.319 have known and believed that God has love, believed the 82 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.600 love that God has for us. God is love, and 83 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.639 he who abides in love abides in God and God 84 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.680 in him. Love has been perfected among us in this 85 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.839 that we may have boldness or confidence, and another translation 86 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.160 says we have confidence. So his love is actually what's 87 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.439 sealing your heart and telling you that if you died 88 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.680 right now, you're okay because Father loves you. And this 89 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.199 is the supreme love that you need. This is what 90 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.439 you've longed for all of your life and until you 91 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.000 get this, like, no human love can take the place 92 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:55.079 of this. So love is perfected among us and that 93 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.800 we have so that we can have boldness in that 94 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.639 day of judgment. Because as He is so all, so 95 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.800 so so are we in this world. So this is interesting. 96 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.600 He's saying that we were being transformed by this love. 97 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.879 This love is so enveloping and it's so powerful and 98 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.240 it's so rich that we're transformed by this love. And 99 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.319 there is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out. Now, 100 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.720 this is the new King James, or the King James, 101 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.920 perfect love cast out, or if you looked at the 102 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.480 univ it would say, perfect love dismisses fear. Well, that's 103 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.439 that's uh okay, let's let's all finish it. I'll take 104 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:46.079 control again because fear involves torment. But be it. But 105 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.560 he who fears has not been made perfect in love? 106 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:55.120 Did you hear that he who still fears has not 107 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.839 been No, this is the goal of God is to 108 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.600 make you perfect in love. Now, if we go back 109 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.639 to my heart, I'll go back in a minute. But 110 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.920 the heart, you know, that's your soul, that your mind, will, emotions, imagination, reasoning, 111 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.839 that's your history, that's your hindrances, that's your lineage. It's 112 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.480 your memory, it's your sins, it's your iniquities, it's your stupidness, 113 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.920 it's your frailty, it's your weaknesses. Like all of that's 114 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:29.519 woven into your soul, realm, right, your soul. And he's 115 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.840 saying that this love is poured into your heart in 116 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.759 such a powerful fashion that you can partner with that 117 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.519 love so that all fear and fear doesn't reside in 118 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.639 your spirit. Your spirit is the Holy of holies. Nothing 119 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.039 else resides in your born again spirit, but holy Spirit. 120 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.200 The only thing residing in your spirit is Holy Spirit. 121 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.639 But Holy Spirit wants to bear witness too. He wants 122 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.039 to testify to He wants to talk to you about 123 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.799 the love of God so deeply through his word, through 124 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.159 his scripture, through his Raima, through his visitation, through his friendship. 125 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.879 He wants to talk to you so deeply about his 126 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.480 love for you that no matter what you're thinking about, 127 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.320 you'll realize that His love will triumph over whatever it is, 128 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.320 so that you no longer have to yield to fear. 129 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.000 Abide in fear, think about fear, fear anything. No fear 130 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.519 of man, no fear of loss, no fear of money, 131 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.600 no fear of poverty, no fear of no fear ever, 132 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.879 no fear of confrontation, no fear of offense, no fear 133 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:45.840 of darkness, no fear ever except for the fear of 134 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:53.600 getting too close to the waterfall cliff. That's called wisdom. 135 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.360 But you know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about 136 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.559 spiritual things that don't go whacky on me. I'm just 137 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.000 talking about spiritual things, right, he who fears, So wherever 138 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:10.000 fear is, we haven't been perfected in that love. How 139 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.039 do I go back to give me back control? Please 140 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:31.240 immediately in Jesus name, Where do I be without beautiful 141 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.879 wonderful staff members to help me? Oh, the pen wasn't 142 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.200 even on, was it on? It wasn't on. Jesus take 143 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:44.399 the wheel. Even old country soulngs are still good. All right? 144 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.600 So are you with me? Listen? I wait to hear this. Now, 145 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:55.000 your soul, your soul, and the Holy Spirit's working on 146 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.559 us all the time. He wants to work on you, 147 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.519 and he wants to wash. The Bible says that the 148 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.159 Word of God is Ephesians five, that he washes us 149 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.200 with the water of the Word. What's he washing? He's 150 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.240 washing the fear out, He's washing the crud out. We 151 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:15.080 constantly need the washing of the Word. And when we 152 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.080 come to know him, what he's trying to do. Once 153 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.639 we've come to know him, and he's a genius. I mean, 154 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.519 God is a genius. This is the good news. Right, 155 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.480 He's a genius. Because I could never approach God through 156 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.559 my own righteousness. My own righteousness is a mess. I 157 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.399 can't stay righteous long enough to ever approach him. But 158 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.639 he puts on me, he covers me with the righteousness 159 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.240 of Jesus. Now I can approach him. So now we 160 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.279 can be friends. So now he can talk to me, 161 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.159 and now he can wash me with his word, and 162 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.840 now he can shed his love on me. He couldn't 163 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.639 shed all his love on me as long as I'm 164 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.879 still bound up in my sin or my folly, or 165 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.360 my foolishness, or my unbelief or my darkness. But now 166 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.000 he can shed his love on me. And because he 167 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.360 can pour out his love on me due to the 168 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.600 geniusness of covering me with the righteousness of Jesus, not 169 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.039 my own righteousness, now he can wash me. We can 170 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.360 be friends, we can have friendship, and he can show 171 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:18.480 me what I need to get rid of. Now this 172 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.000 guy over here, this this guy over here, this part 173 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.240 over here of me was darkened. This part over me 174 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.600 here was darken. And this part here, this part over here, 175 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:36.639 was demonized. Okay, and let's just talk about that for 176 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:37.720 a minute. I want to read you a couple of 177 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.279 verses Ephesians two to one. And you he made alive 178 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.480 who were dead and TransPasses. You want to take it back, 179 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.799 You know how to do it. I don't know how 180 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.679 to do it. You can take it back then, if 181 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.679 you'd like to thank you, and you he made alive 182 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.519 who were dead, and trespasses and sins in which you 183 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.440 once walked according to the course of this world, according 184 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.759 to the Prince of the power of the Air, that's Satan, 185 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.279 the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. 186 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.480 So this is there was, There was spiritual power working 187 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.840 in all of us. We all had spiritual power working 188 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.559 in us, and it was the power of darkness, and 189 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.759 it was the power that was under the rule of Satan, 190 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.600 who the Bible calls the Prince of the Power of 191 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:27.399 the Air, among whom we also We all once conducted 192 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.600 ourselves in the lust or the desires of our flesh, 193 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.679 our carnal nature, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and 194 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.519 of our mind, and were by nature children of wrath. 195 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.639 Therefore we were Therefore because of this, we were children 196 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.120 of wrath. That is, we deserved the wrath of God. 197 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.480 Why did we deserve the wrath of God? Because Satan does. 198 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.480 Satan's under the wrath of God. So if we are 199 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.559 one with him, or partnered with him, or of his 200 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.039 loins or his lineage, we're going to deserve whatever he deserves, 201 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.639 because we're in union and recovenant with him. Let's go 202 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.240 to two Timothy two to twenty four. And a servant 203 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.080 of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle able 204 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.639 to teach patient in humility, correcting those who are in 205 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.679 a position. If God perhaps will grant them repentance so 206 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.879 that they may come to know the truth, and so 207 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.000 that they may come to their senses and escape the 208 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:24.120 snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him 209 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.519 to do his will. Now he's saying this about a 210 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:27.919 servant the Lord. But I don't want you to think 211 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.480 about a servant Lord. I want you to think about 212 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.000 that's all of us. Some servant of the Lord reached 213 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.960 out to you, some humble servant Lord reached out to you, 214 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.679 and he reached out while you were in captivity, while 215 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.600 you weren't You hadn't come to your senses, right. This 216 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.360 is Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was constantly reaching out to 217 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:50.480 people with truth, this says, with truth, hoping that they 218 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.360 would come to repentance, right, so that they would come 219 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.799 to their senses and escape the snare of the who 220 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.200 we will all we were all under the snare or 221 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:07.919 the devil. When Adam fell, Satan became his lord. We 222 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.799 were in his loins when he fell. We have to 223 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.399 get out of that family. We have to get out 224 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.159 of that lineage. Everybody in that family is going to 225 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.039 sin and blow it and mess up and live in unrighteousness, 226 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.080 and they won't even know it because they're deceived. They 227 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.720 don't even know. You didn't even know half the things 228 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.240 you did were a problem. Right, how many times did 229 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:36.919 you defend your sin because you didn't know you were deceived. 230 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.000 Deceived means you don't know you're deceived because you're deceived. 231 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.039 That's what deception means. Right. And so this was us, 232 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.919 This was us. We were taken captive by the enemy 233 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.639 to do it. No, we didn't maybe shoot somebody, we 234 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.720 didn't do something, we didn't rub a bank, but we 235 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.879 did stupid stuff and we were caught up with stupid 236 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.159 thoughts because we were of that lineage. We got to 237 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.639 get out of that lineage. That means we got to die. 238 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.360 That means we got to die the only way out 239 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.840 of that lineage and into the new lineage, into the 240 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.159 new atom, into the new life. You got to die 241 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.240 to the old and you have to be buried. Now, 242 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.039 this is a death tank, This is a death tank, 243 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.639 and it's a burial service. Water baptism is a burial service. 244 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.720 And this is what we're doing this morning with a 245 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:35.639 bunch of folks. And we could dismiss them in four minutes, 246 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.759 but to go get their briches on or whatever. But 247 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.720 this is what's going to happen right here, is that 248 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.960 this is a death tank. So when we go into 249 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.600 this death tank, the Bible says Roman chapter six, Roman 250 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.440 chapter seven, that it's a burial service, and we're putting 251 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:59.840 the power of Satan. This is satan, this is demonic power. Yeah, you, 252 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.599 Satan was so one with your nature. You didn't know 253 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.599 it was satan. You thought it was you. Did you 254 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.079 hear me? Like doubt and frustration and discouragement and inferiority 255 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:24.920 and self hatred and negativity and immorality and profanity and 256 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.400 lying and cheating, and I mean, these things were so 257 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.359 one with your nature you didn't even know it was Satan. 258 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.799 You thought it was you. That's how one it was 259 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:41.680 with your nature. John eight forty two through forty four 260 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:46.920 says Jesus says to these he was having a Charlie 261 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:50.599 Kirk moment, and he was reasoning with them, and they were, 262 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:55.279 you know, arguing back, and Jesus said, a neighbors said, 263 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.160 we're of our father, you know, and we we're of Abraham, 264 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.240 and we're of our father. And he says, if God 265 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.640 were your father, you would love me. For I proceeded 266 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.200 forth and came from God. I've not come of myself, 267 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.359 but He sent me. Why do you not understand my 268 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.000 speech because you're not able to listen to my word 269 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:18.000 because you're of your father, the devil, and the desires 270 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.119 of your father you want to do. You're of your 271 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.319 father the devil. He could have said that to me, 272 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:25.559 He could have said that to you. He could have 273 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.359 said that to any one of us, and he would 274 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:34.519 have been absolutely accurate. I'm saying this to tell you 275 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:41.359 that we all need deliverance. This is the longest commercial 276 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:46.440 for Restored Life you've ever heard in your life. If 277 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.880 you haven't been the Restored life, we are registering people 278 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:56.599 today right afterwards, and you shouldn't let anything keep you 279 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:01.839 from coming. We all need deliverance. We all need deliverance. 280 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:10.240 We all need deliverance. I'm telling you, the demonic influence 281 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.279 of Satan was so one with our pre conversion nature. 282 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:20.279 We didn't even know that it was satan. We didn't 283 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.480 even know it was darkness. We didn't even know it 284 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.319 was demonic spirits. We didn't even know it. Those thoughts 285 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.640 about not getting through, those thoughts about not succeeding, those 286 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:35.720 thoughts of animosity, those thoughts of divorce, all of those 287 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:40.279 every thought, those thoughts were not of you. They were 288 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.440 of the demonic nature, but they were so one with 289 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.920 you that you didn't even recognize they were of the 290 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:57.319 because your nature was one with that nature. The name 291 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.200 of the sermon today, by the way, is you can't 292 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:07.119 trust your own thoughts. That's the name of the sermon today. 293 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.039 You can't trust your own thoughts. I know it says 294 00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:14.839 something else, cleansing my mind for a better me, that's 295 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.720 more saleable. We can we can sell more with that one. 296 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.079 But you can't trust your own thoughts. That's a pretty 297 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:26.640 good one too. Subtitle you can't trust your own thoughts 298 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:35.880 because because what happens is what happens is when we 299 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.319 come out of these waters of baptism, we come out 300 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.920 and we are birthed into romans. Sick says that we 301 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:49.680 go in under the old atom, the first atom. We 302 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.119 go in under the power of sin and under the 303 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.839 power of corruption, we just we see everything out of that. Right, 304 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.160 But when we come out of the world baptism, the 305 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:05.519 Bible says that we come out into new life, we 306 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:11.160 come out into resurrection. Now, the problem is is we 307 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.960 don't experience deliverance. We don't know anything about deliverance. Somebody 308 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.200 told us deliverance wasn't even real. Somebody told us the 309 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.720 moment you gave your heart to the Lord, you were delivered. 310 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.079 We hear every kind of lie avery. All these lies 311 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.400 are filled with in our churches. And so we come 312 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:32.440 out of we come out of the water baptism tank 313 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.519 a new creation. We come out raised to life. We 314 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.759 come out anew and those same voices start talking to us. 315 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.359 We get compelled. This is how they this is how 316 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.000 they work. They pretend they are us, and we're so 317 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.880 used to them talking we think it's us, and so 318 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.000 they compel us. They just continue to compel us because 319 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:00.279 we didn't know that we could resist them. You know, 320 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.400 until you go into the tank, until you're water baptized, 321 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.839 you have not actually entered into the legal transaction of 322 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.519 dying the first atom and being raised up into the second. 323 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.079 Did you know that's true. But the moment you come 324 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.880 out of that, that's because and that's why baptism is 325 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.400 always for people that plan on living. The thief on 326 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.799 the cross, he was done living. He didn't need to 327 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.519 get water baptized. When somebody tells you you have to 328 00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:31.319 be baptized to be born of the spirit, that's a lie. 329 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.240 Jesus said to the thief on the cross today, I'll 330 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.640 see you in paradise. He wasn't getting off the cross 331 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.480 and getting baptized. Baptism is not for people that are dying. 332 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.119 It's for people to plan on living. If you plan 333 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.160 on living, then God wants his love to be shed 334 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.720 abroad so powerfully in your heart that it perfects your soul, 335 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.359 that all of the fears in your soul are driven 336 00:22:55.400 --> 00:23:00.279 out or dismissed. You partner with love to dismiss those 337 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.480 testimonies of fear out of the inner man, out of 338 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.759 your soul, so that you're no longer under that influence. Well, 339 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.799 we haven't known that. You didn't know that. So then 340 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.000 you come up out of the water of baptism, and 341 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.200 then those same spirits they start talking to you. They 342 00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.279 and you're used to hearing them, and so they start 343 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.920 talking to you, and they're telling you, you know that 344 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.480 you shouldn't like that one and they didn't pay attention 345 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.640 to you, and that one didn't come to your party, 346 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.119 and that one didn't leave a special parking spot for 347 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.880 you over there, and then this didn't happen and that 348 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.880 didn't happen, and she's got the hats for you. But 349 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.160 you're already married. But it's okay. I could have two 350 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.559 and this starts happening, and that starts happening, and you 351 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.839 got this going on, and you got every kind of 352 00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:47.920 spirit and you just think it's you. Just your whole 353 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.559 life has been listening to these things. So you just 354 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.839 what happens is you don't know that now you have 355 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:59.960 the power to dismiss, to resist, to drive out, to overthrow. 356 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.519 So what happens is you come out and you don't 357 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.920 know that. So you're like you start thinking, Man, I'm 358 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.119 a terrible Christian? Man I am WHOA? What is wrong 359 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.200 with me? I need to repent again? Why am I 360 00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.400 thinking about her? Why am I thinking about theft? Why 361 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.960 am I thinking about cheating? Why am I thinking about hating? 362 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.519 Why am I thinking about lying? Why am I thinking? Why? Man? 363 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.119 I'm just a terrible Christian walking this walking Christianity stuff. 364 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.559 This is hard. Whoa, it is so hard, man, I 365 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.440 got to wrestle up my mind. I gotta get a 366 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.559 last sue and control this thing. This thing is out 367 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:40.039 of control. I must be a terrible Christian. No, you're 368 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:43.279 not a terrible Christian. You came out of the waters 369 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:47.799 of baptism with the authority to dismiss, drive out, and 370 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:53.799 overthrow those thoughts. And now Philippians four, Philippians four four 371 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:58.200 through eight, he says, he tells you think on these things. 372 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.759 Think on things that are lovely, Think on things that 373 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.400 are praiseworthy, Think on things that are noble, think of 374 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.440 things that are of a good report. Fix your mind 375 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.519 on those things. And then Romans chapter eight, verse six says, 376 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:13.640 the mind that is set on that old fleshly life, 377 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.480 that mind is gonna end up walking in death. But 378 00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.000 the mind that is set on that spirit, man, the 379 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.079 mind that is set on that spirit, the mind that 380 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.720 is set on the testimony of Jesus and your Holy 381 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.079 of Holies, that mind is going to result in life 382 00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:39.240 and peace. Every one of us have to win these battles. 383 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.240 But once you win them, it's like whooh, that's pretty good. 384 00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.200 You start winning these battles instead of coming into condemnation. 385 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.160 I'm just worthless. I'm just a worm. Thank god he 386 00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:55.200 died from me, because oh oh oh oh, what a 387 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.920 mess I am. As long as you walk in that condemnation, 388 00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.519 you'll never get freedom. You'll just end back up at 389 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.160 the altar. You'll need prayer again. You come forward, I'm 390 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:05.680 a worm. Okay, Well we can help worms here, and 391 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.200 so you come forward. We help the worm, cleanse the worm, 392 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.599 wash the worm. You know, cray, you get lots of 393 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.200 tears out of the worm. Well you're kind of a 394 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.480 dry worm. Now, okay, well got let me send you 395 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.880 back to your chair, and then you're back next week. 396 00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:22.039 Because you don't understand that you have victory over these voices, 397 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.319 you have victory over these influences. These are no longer you. 398 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:28.960 This is not the Holy Spirit in you. The Holy 399 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.200 Spirit is not testifying a bunch of garbage in you. 400 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.799 He's not testifying hate, he's not testifying rejection. He's not 401 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:39.799
