Welcome to BATTLES OF FAITH
00:00:14.63\00:00:16.22
We are your hosts,
Ivor and Atonte Myers.
00:00:16.26\00:00:18.71
Today's program is entitled
The Spirit's Law of Motion,
00:00:18.74\00:00:22.40
and again we are going to
be giving you tools on how
00:00:22.44\00:00:26.07
to fight in this battle.
00:00:26.10\00:00:28.02
We need to know how to
fight, because we have an enemy
00:00:28.05\00:00:31.87
that is always
warring against us,
00:00:31.91\00:00:33.82
but praise the Lord we have
God, who is stronger than the
00:00:33.85\00:00:37.45
enemy and He has tools and
weapons to give us to fight
00:00:37.48\00:00:41.04
back and effectively.
00:00:41.08\00:00:42.63
One of the things we will
be looking at in this program
00:00:42.66\00:00:46.19
is the Laws of Motion, and
we have seen in our previous
00:00:46.22\00:00:49.71
programs that we have been
discussing this principle of
00:00:49.74\00:00:53.96
the scientific laws, or the
spiritual laws of science in
00:00:54.00\00:00:58.18
terms of God's kingdom of faith.
00:00:58.21\00:01:01.35
As there are laws that govern
the seen world so there are
00:01:01.38\00:01:06.19
laws that govern the unseen
world, the spiritual realm.
00:01:06.22\00:01:10.33
We are going to be looking
at some or those laws in this
00:01:10.37\00:01:14.45
program, and again
the program is entitled
00:01:14.48\00:01:17.09
The Spirit's Laws of Motion.
00:01:17.13\00:01:20.26
We will be looking at
this, what is the spirits law of
00:01:20.30\00:01:23.80
motions, of motion rather.
00:01:23.83\00:01:26.05
We are going to go ahead
take a look at our first law.
00:01:26.08\00:01:30.23
We have it entitled it
The Spirit's Law of Inertia.
00:01:30.26\00:01:33.68
The Spirit's Law of
Inertia and it simply says:
00:01:33.71\00:01:37.09
Now what is this saying?
00:01:52.37\00:01:54.66
Very simply Atonte, it is
saying that we remain asleep,
00:01:54.69\00:02:01.60
we remain resting in sin,
comfortable in sin, and the
00:02:01.64\00:02:07.24
wicked principles of this
world until the Spirit of God
00:02:07.28\00:02:12.85
moves upon us.
00:02:12.89\00:02:15.18
It causes us, in
essence, to move.
00:02:15.22\00:02:18.12
This is the first law of
motion, and object cannot be put
00:02:18.16\00:02:22.50
into motion unless an
outside force is acting upon it.
00:02:22.53\00:02:27.28
We find this law in the
physical realm, is also true
00:02:27.31\00:02:32.02
in the spiritual realm.
00:02:32.06\00:02:33.90
So we are not moved closer
to God on our own, first the
00:02:33.94\00:02:38.82
Spirit moves upon us and
then we move closer to the Lord.
00:02:38.85\00:02:43.93
This principle, I like to
call it the law of conversion.
00:02:43.97\00:02:49.02
The law of conversion,
restated, is simply if the
00:02:49.05\00:02:53.82
Spirit of God has truly
moved upon us, we will be moved.
00:02:53.86\00:02:58.78
We will no longer be in the
place in which we were before
00:02:58.81\00:03:03.70
the Spirit of God moved upon us.
00:03:03.74\00:03:05.50
The Spirit of God,
His job is to move.
00:03:05.54\00:03:09.47
You look at Genesis chapter
1, where it speaks about the
00:03:09.50\00:03:13.28
creation of this world and
it says the Spirit of the God
00:03:13.31\00:03:17.06
moved upon the
face of the waters.
00:03:17.09\00:03:21.05
This is the law, this is
an example, or a type as it
00:03:21.08\00:03:25.31
were, of the law of motion
in the spiritual realm where
00:03:25.34\00:03:29.35
the Spirit of God moves
upon us and it is the beginning
00:03:29.39\00:03:33.37
of our creation process.
00:03:33.40\00:03:35.65
It is important that we
don't reject the Holy Spirit and
00:03:35.68\00:03:39.38
that we accept the Holy
Spirit when it moves upon us.
00:03:39.42\00:03:43.59
It is not that God gives up
on us even when we reject the
00:03:43.62\00:03:47.75
Spirit, but each time we
reject the Spirit it gets
00:03:47.79\00:03:51.19
harder and harder so it is
easier to accept the Spirit
00:03:51.22\00:03:54.59
when He first
was upon your heart.
00:03:54.62\00:03:56.46
We don't want to resist
God, we don't want to be found
00:03:56.49\00:03:59.97
resisting because the Spirit
of God is moving upon every
00:04:00.01\00:04:03.46
person, He is
striving with every person.
00:04:03.49\00:04:06.36
It really is up to us
whether we accept or reject the
00:04:06.39\00:04:11.42
moving of the Spirit of God.
00:04:11.46\00:04:12.96
Atonte, in 2 Peter 1:21,
this is what the Bible says.
00:04:12.99\00:04:18.87
Here we find this principle
of the spiritual inertia,
00:04:30.01\00:04:33.23
the spirit of the law of
motion, where the Holy Spirit
00:04:33.27\00:04:36.45
of God came into these
men's lives and moved them,
00:04:36.49\00:04:41.02
so much that it
resulted in the writing
00:04:41.05\00:04:44.56
of the Scriptures.
00:04:44.60\00:04:47.04
The Spirit of God when
He comes in He moves men,
00:04:47.08\00:04:50.84
He moves them from a
place of unconversion,
00:04:50.87\00:04:53.55
a place of lawlessness
into a place that draws us
00:04:53.59\00:04:58.55
closer and
closer to Jesus Christ.
00:04:58.58\00:05:00.72
We have spoken many times
on this program really trying
00:05:00.75\00:05:05.82
to appeal and reach
out to young people,
00:05:05.85\00:05:08.46
and again, the Holy Spirit
is moving upon everybody upon
00:05:08.50\00:05:13.18
the earth, but I know that God
is really calling young people
00:05:13.21\00:05:17.25
to receive His Spirit so
they can go out and minister and
00:05:17.29\00:05:21.30
witness to the
world, because there
00:05:21.33\00:05:23.29
is nothing like young
people giving the gospel to
00:05:23.32\00:05:25.99
the whole world, there is a
whole lot of power there and
00:05:26.03\00:05:28.66
people will stop and listen.
00:05:28.69\00:05:30.10
That is what is called the
moving of the Spirit of God
00:05:30.13\00:05:33.59
when Jesus said to
His disciples 'go'.
00:05:33.63\00:05:35.89
What is go? It is a motion.
00:05:35.93\00:05:37.55
Go ye into all the world
teaching and baptizing in the
00:05:37.59\00:05:41.68
name of the Father,
Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:05:41.71\00:05:43.94
That was a commission,
that is the Law of Inertia in
00:05:43.97\00:05:48.57
action, where we are moved
to go and spread the gospel.
00:05:48.61\00:05:53.01
You will see this law
working in the lives of saint
00:05:53.05\00:05:57.42
after saint, after
saint in the Bible.
00:05:57.46\00:05:59.38
We spoke our last program
and said that the scientific
00:05:59.42\00:06:03.07
law is something that is
observable, it is repeatable,
00:06:03.11\00:06:06.73
and it is predictable.
00:06:06.77\00:06:08.50
A person who has experienced
conversion, this law will
00:06:08.54\00:06:12.43
be a reality in their lives.
00:06:12.47\00:06:14.76
They will be
moved, you look at Paul.
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.42
Paul was moved in such a
way that he went throughout much
00:06:16.46\00:06:22.34
the world preaching the
gospel after his conversion.
00:06:22.38\00:06:25.41
This was inertia, Paul
was under the force of the
00:06:25.44\00:06:28.44
spiritual inertia.
00:06:28.47\00:06:30.09
Look at Noah, the Bible
says in Hebrews 11:7 that he
00:06:30.12\00:06:33.18
was moved to build an ark.
00:06:33.21\00:06:35.71
The Spirit of God came upon
Noah, inertia in action, he was
00:06:35.75\00:06:39.63
moved to build this art.
00:06:39.66\00:06:41.70
Abraham, he was moved by
the Spirit of God, out of his
00:06:41.74\00:06:45.64
comfort zone into a place
where he had no clue what lay
00:06:45.67\00:06:49.53
ahead in the future,
but he was moved by the
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.97
Spirit of God.
00:06:52.01\00:06:53.33
When the Spirit of
God comes into our lives,
00:06:53.36\00:06:56.34
it becomes a moving force.
00:06:56.37\00:07:00.17
We are drawn, as it were,
to Jesus Christ and we become
00:07:00.21\00:07:04.97
Christians that are in
motion, not Christians that are
00:07:05.01\00:07:09.73
standing still,
not doing anything.
00:07:09.77\00:07:11.94
You may be thinking
I'm not experiencing this
00:07:11.97\00:07:15.35
moving of the Spirit,
well you can pray for it.
00:07:15.39\00:07:18.70
We should pray for the out
pouring of the Holy Spirit and
00:07:18.73\00:07:21.99
if there are others, that
we see are, not being moved by
00:07:22.03\00:07:25.26
the Spirit, we should love
them and pray for them because
00:07:25.30\00:07:28.50
there is power in
prayer, and God will respond.
00:07:28.53\00:07:32.05
I want to mention Atonte,
Jeremiah 20:9 and it says.
00:07:32.08\00:07:36.54
That is the Modern
King James Version.
00:07:58.58\00:08:00.64
As Christians, when the
Spirit of God moves upon us, we
00:08:00.67\00:08:05.69
cannot stop, we cannot stand
still, we cannot be silent.
00:08:05.72\00:08:09.46
Of course we know that
one of the things the enemy is
00:08:09.50\00:08:13.21
trying to do, he is trying
to nullify this Principle of
00:08:13.25\00:08:17.17
Inertia between the Holy
Spirit, and the Christian.
00:08:17.21\00:08:21.31
If he can nullify this
principle, then you have a
00:08:21.34\00:08:25.37
Christian basically standing
still, or a Christian that has
00:08:25.41\00:08:28.12
stopped, and it is only
through the motion of the
00:08:28.15\00:08:30.26
Holy Spirit that this
gospel is going to go into
00:08:30.30\00:08:32.37
the whole world.
00:08:32.41\00:08:33.58
The enemy knows that, he
does not want you to be moved,
00:08:33.62\00:08:35.49
because if you are
moved to, you are going to go.
00:08:35.53\00:08:38.23
He wants you to stay
still so that you won't go and
00:08:38.26\00:08:41.05
you won't share the gospel
with the next one that needs
00:08:41.09\00:08:43.84
to hear a word
from you specifically.
00:08:43.88\00:08:46.51
Let's re-phrase this
Atonte, the body under the
00:08:46.54\00:08:50.42
continuous force of
the Spirit cannot rest.
00:08:50.46\00:08:54.27
That is a law, a body
under the continuous force,
00:08:54.30\00:08:58.07
or under the moving of
the Spirit cannot rest.
00:08:58.10\00:09:01.80
We're not talking about resting
in Christ, we are talking
00:09:01.83\00:09:05.13
about resting, standing
back, standing still, saying oh
00:09:05.17\00:09:08.62
this work is none of my
own, let somebody else do it.
00:09:08.65\00:09:12.53
When the Spirit of God moves
upon us, when we come under
00:09:12.56\00:09:16.06
the laws of the spiritual
kingdom, when we come out of
00:09:16.10\00:09:20.22
the laws that the enemy has
in this world and come under
00:09:20.25\00:09:24.47
the laws of God, we get a
moving, the spirit of moving
00:09:24.50\00:09:28.65
within us, it cannot be quenched
as long as the Spirit of God
00:09:28.68\00:09:32.51
is dwelling with us.
00:09:32.55\00:09:34.30
That's right, and again we
encourage young people because
00:09:34.34\00:09:37.85
the enemy knows that if
young people are out there doing
00:09:37.89\00:09:40.74
this work and be moved by
the spirit, there is a lot of
00:09:40.78\00:09:44.24
power there, and from
previous programs you know my
00:09:44.27\00:09:47.17
husband's testimony, he
was in the world and came into
00:09:47.21\00:09:50.07
the church but that doesn't have
00:09:50.11\00:09:51.57
to be everyone's testimony.
00:09:51.60\00:09:53.59
It's preferable it is not
your testimony, that you were
00:09:53.62\00:09:56.89
with Christ as a young
person and He was able to take
00:09:56.92\00:10:00.15
you into adult hood
and that is a much powerful
00:10:00.19\00:10:02.49
testimony to say I
always walk with the Lord.
00:10:02.52\00:10:04.75
I didn't have to go out
into the world and experience
00:10:04.78\00:10:08.05
those things to be the
type of Christian I am today.
00:10:08.08\00:10:11.27
What we submit ourselves
to the Lord, He moves upon us
00:10:11.31\00:10:14.53
and He will move us from
the places from which we were.
00:10:14.56\00:10:17.32
You say how do I get out of
this condition that I am in?
00:10:17.36\00:10:20.97
You allow the Spirit of God
to do what it has been seeking
00:10:21.01\00:10:24.59
to do for so many years.
00:10:24.63\00:10:26.95
You know everyone has
talked to Him and He is not
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.91
listening, people complained
or not ready to hear, but
00:10:29.95\00:10:33.44
when a person understands
the Spirit of God has been
00:10:33.47\00:10:36.93
moving upon them and
they have been resisting,
00:10:36.96\00:10:40.48
all they need to do
is to cease to resist.
00:10:40.51\00:10:43.95
Cease to resist and the
Spirit of God will take you
00:10:43.99\00:10:46.87
and will move you.
00:10:46.91\00:10:48.35
Now we want to move to
another principle that is still
00:10:48.38\00:10:50.84
under this law, but we want
to re-phrase it a little bit,
00:10:50.88\00:10:53.30
and it is this.
00:10:53.34\00:10:54.48
Earthly force cannot move
a body at rest in the Spirit.
00:10:54.52\00:11:00.76
Earthly force cannot move
a body at rest in the Spirit!
00:11:00.80\00:11:06.38
So that means all the peer
pressure, not just for young
00:11:06.41\00:11:11.96
people, but for all people.
00:11:11.99\00:11:13.63
We all live in the world
and we all received pressure
00:11:13.66\00:11:16.47
from the world to not stand
for God, or to do things like
00:11:16.50\00:11:19.41
the world and not the way
God would have us to do them.
00:11:19.45\00:11:22.31
Exactly, now understand the
terms in which I'm speaking,
00:11:22.35\00:11:25.97
there was a scientific
experiment done in the days of
00:11:26.00\00:11:29.59
Daniel to prove this principle.
00:11:29.63\00:11:31.70
The experiment actually
took place a couple of times
00:11:31.73\00:11:35.78
in the book of Daniel.
00:11:35.81\00:11:37.43
Number one was when
the test of appetite,
00:11:37.46\00:11:41.76
what do they eat?
00:11:41.80\00:11:42.91
Earthly force could not
move Daniel because he was
00:11:42.94\00:11:48.51
resting in the Spirit.
00:11:48.54\00:11:51.59
What they brought about
him he refused to do what he
00:11:51.63\00:11:55.47
knew was not lawful for him.
00:11:55.51\00:11:57.33
Here we have a scientific
experiment as it were.
00:11:57.36\00:12:01.11
There is another one found
in Daniel chapter 3 where the
00:12:01.15\00:12:06.08
three Hebrews are brought
together, along with everyone
00:12:06.11\00:12:09.95
of the present nations, and
they were brought together to
00:12:09.99\00:12:13.90
bow down before this image
that Nebuchadnezzar has built.
00:12:13.94\00:12:18.45
Daniel chapter 3, and again
this law is revealed in this
00:12:18.49\00:12:22.64
scientific experiment,
spiritual scientific experiment,
00:12:22.68\00:12:26.47
as it were, where earthly
force, and even the forces of
00:12:26.50\00:12:30.46
devils and demons were present,
and even Atonte, before,
00:12:30.49\00:12:34.78
the force of devils and demons
could not move those three
00:12:34.82\00:12:39.07
Hebrews from standing in Christ.
00:12:39.10\00:12:42.94
We see that this is a law
in the spiritual realm that
00:12:42.98\00:12:47.35
when we submit to Christ,
it doesn't matter what the
00:12:47.38\00:12:51.72
world is doing.
00:12:51.75\00:12:53.01
It doesn't matter how the
devil is seeking to manipulate
00:12:53.04\00:12:55.36
the environment,
through his spiritual evolution,
00:12:55.39\00:12:58.50
to try and cause us to
adapt to that environment,
00:12:58.53\00:13:01.90
it doesn't matter, the
man who was resting in Christ
00:13:01.94\00:13:05.27
cannot be moved.
00:13:05.31\00:13:06.66
Isn't that exciting, that
is better than any movie I've
00:13:06.70\00:13:10.08
ever seen, I mean just really
envisioning what must have
00:13:10.11\00:13:12.94
been going on at that
time, especially with the three
00:13:12.98\00:13:15.78
Hebrews and the fiery furnace.
00:13:15.81\00:13:18.43
I mean God is all-powerful
and it is exciting to see
00:13:18.46\00:13:22.31
what He has done in the
past and what He will do for
00:13:22.34\00:13:26.15
each and every one of us.
00:13:26.19\00:13:27.55
Joseph, here you have
Joseph a young man, who again is
00:13:27.59\00:13:31.78
in captivity, and the wife
of someone very high up comes
00:13:31.81\00:13:35.97
to Joseph and
tries to seduce him.
00:13:36.00\00:13:39.52
Earthly force, and the forces
of demons are again trying
00:13:39.56\00:13:44.37
to move a body at rest in
the Spirit, and as they shove
00:13:44.40\00:13:48.76
and push and do everything
they can, they find that
00:13:48.80\00:13:52.77
Joseph is immovable and
at the same time he flees out
00:13:52.80\00:13:56.74
of that place, he
moves physically but,
00:13:56.78\00:13:59.27
he did not budge spiritually.
00:13:59.31\00:14:02.15
The law is true, a body at
rest in the Spirit cannot be
00:14:02.18\00:14:06.25
moved and we can
talk about Jesus.
00:14:06.28\00:14:08.51
He was at rest in the
Spirit of God, His whole entire
00:14:08.55\00:14:12.42
life, no matter how
much they tried to move Him,
00:14:12.46\00:14:16.08
He could not be moved.
00:14:16.11\00:14:19.16
Amen! that is very
awesome, very exciting.
00:14:19.20\00:14:22.41
This principle Atonte,
is again seen in the book of
00:14:22.44\00:14:25.58
James 4:7 and it says.
00:14:25.62\00:14:29.11
Then it says, "draw nigh to
God and He draw nigh to you. "
00:14:36.22\00:14:40.01
You see this principle
of being moved towards God,
00:14:40.05\00:14:43.23
but at the same time
resting or resisting,
00:14:43.27\00:14:46.35
rather the devil.
00:14:46.39\00:14:47.78
In resisting him, we stay
in a rest position in God.
00:14:47.81\00:14:51.80
That's what it means,
resting in God is equivalent to
00:14:51.84\00:14:55.79
resisting the devil.
00:14:55.83\00:14:57.64
We can also find it in
Psalm 16:8 and it says.
00:14:57.68\00:15:01.76
We are told that when we
set the Lord before us that
00:15:08.74\00:15:12.24
we cannot be moved, we
shall not be moved and there are
00:15:12.27\00:15:15.73
so many verses of
Scripture that talk about being
00:15:15.77\00:15:18.68
planted firmly,
planted in Christ.
00:15:18.72\00:15:22.14
That is what this
law is telling us.
00:15:22.17\00:15:25.56
It is a lot of resistance.
00:15:25.59\00:15:27.57
Resist the devil, rest
in God and earthly force,
00:15:27.60\00:15:32.88
no matter how strong
it is, cannot move us.
00:15:32.91\00:15:36.00
In fact Atonte, people in
the last days experience this
00:15:36.04\00:15:40.80
law of resistance, because
the Bible speaks that in those
00:15:40.84\00:15:45.71
last days, that this beast
power is going to force all
00:15:45.74\00:15:50.58
people to receive this Mark.
00:15:50.62\00:15:52.76
They are going to force,
or move the people to do this,
00:15:52.80\00:15:56.29
but there'll be a
people are at rest under the
00:15:56.32\00:15:59.60
influence of the Spirit
and they will not be able to
00:15:59.64\00:16:02.86
be moved to bow
down to the image.
00:16:02.90\00:16:05.39
They will not be able to
be moved to receive the mark,
00:16:05.43\00:16:09.06
because they are under the
spiritual, in their lifetime
00:16:09.09\00:16:14.61
they understood this law
of resting in Christ as real,
00:16:14.64\00:16:19.44
and as solid, as the laws
that govern this seen world,
00:16:19.47\00:16:24.23
so are the laws that
govern the unseen world.
00:16:24.27\00:16:27.42
Colossians 1:23
backs it up even more.
00:16:27.46\00:16:31.16
Paul encourages us to not
be moved away from the gospel.
00:16:45.40\00:16:50.02
There are earthly forces
out there, and spiritual forces
00:16:50.06\00:16:54.76
out there whose purpose it
is to attempt to move God's
00:16:54.80\00:16:59.01
people away from an interest
in the Bible, and interest
00:16:59.05\00:17:03.20
in spiritual things, and there
is so many people being moved
00:17:03.23\00:17:06.45
because they are moved
by the manipulation of the
00:17:06.49\00:17:11.05
environment around us.
00:17:11.08\00:17:12.71
The devil is manipulating
through the music and all these
00:17:12.75\00:17:15.42
different things, he manipulates
the environment in an
00:17:15.46\00:17:18.10
attempt to move us
away from God, and when
00:17:18.14\00:17:21.29
we understand this, we
submit ourselves, not to
00:17:21.32\00:17:25.98
the laws of this environment,
but to the laws of the
00:17:26.01\00:17:30.60
spiritual places where God,
the heavenly places where God
00:17:30.63\00:17:35.34
has invited His
people to come up into.
00:17:35.38\00:17:37.73
We submit ourselves to
those laws, and as I say,
00:17:37.77\00:17:40.74
no one walks around
saying, I wonder if gravity is
00:17:40.78\00:17:43.72
going to hold me down today.
00:17:43.75\00:17:45.27
Neither should we wonder
if I resting Christ will I be
00:17:45.31\00:17:49.87
able to resist the
devil, no, it is a law, it is
00:17:49.91\00:17:52.88
repeatable, it is observable,
and it is predictable.
00:17:52.91\00:17:56.26
Those who rest in Christ
cannot be moved, no matter
00:17:56.30\00:17:59.62
what earthly force
or spiritual force the
00:17:59.65\00:18:02.29
devil uses against them.
00:18:02.32\00:18:03.78
That is why God does
not want us to participate,
00:18:03.81\00:18:07.53
or watch, or view things
that are not promoting the
00:18:07.57\00:18:11.33
Gospel, because by being
a part of it, it is moving
00:18:11.37\00:18:15.09
us away from the gospel.
00:18:15.13\00:18:17.22
That is the purpose of
those things that are not
00:18:17.26\00:18:20.78
promoting the Gospel, is
to take us away from Jesus.
00:18:20.81\00:18:24.30
Now let's look at our next law.
00:18:24.33\00:18:26.83
This is the
Spirit's Law a Proportion.
00:18:26.86\00:18:31.28
The Spirit's law of proportion!
It simply states this.
00:18:31.31\00:18:35.01
One of the ways that
this, but meaning of this Atonte
00:18:49.77\00:18:54.63
is that we move in
proportion to the force of the
00:18:54.66\00:18:59.49
Spirit placed upon us.
00:18:59.52\00:19:02.08
Okay, and when we translate
that into the spiritual
00:19:02.11\00:19:07.33
law, the law of God,
I'm sorry the power of God,
00:19:07.36\00:19:12.54
the Spirit of God
is always moving with
00:19:12.58\00:19:15.17
all force upon us.
00:19:15.21\00:19:16.88
It is a constant,
but we are the variable.
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.33
In other words it's also
explained in the equation known
00:19:20.37\00:19:25.75
as F = M x A, forced
equals mass times acceleration.
00:19:25.79\00:19:31.14
The force is the Spirit of
God, the acceleration is the
00:19:31.17\00:19:35.14
power with which the Spirit
of God moves, and the mass
00:19:35.17\00:19:39.10
is guess who?
It's me! That's you!
00:19:39.14\00:19:42.29
So as the Spirit of
God moves upon that body,
00:19:42.32\00:19:46.68
dependent upon how much
the body yields to the moving
00:19:46.72\00:19:52.15
of the Spirit, that
is how much force we have
00:19:52.18\00:19:55.93
in our Christian life.
00:19:55.97\00:19:57.65
In other words, to rephrase
it again, the Spirit of God
00:19:57.68\00:20:02.80
works in corporation with
us, depending on how much we
00:20:02.83\00:20:07.29
yield to the Spirit of
God, that is how much of the
00:20:07.32\00:20:11.74
power of God we receive.
00:20:11.78\00:20:14.51
So if we yield much, then
we will have a lot of power.
00:20:14.54\00:20:19.13
If we yield a little bit,
00:20:19.17\00:20:21.65
we will have a
little bit of power.
00:20:21.69\00:20:23.49
It's called the Spirit
law of proportion, yield much,
00:20:23.52\00:20:28.99
I'm sorry, yield
little, little power.
00:20:29.02\00:20:33.33
If you would look at
the equation you would see
00:20:33.37\00:20:34.87
YL = LP, yield
little equals little power.
00:20:34.90\00:20:39.61
If you look at the other
equation YM, yield much would
00:20:39.65\00:20:43.83
equal MP, much power. YM = MP
00:20:43.87\00:20:47.14
You see this is the
spiritual law of proportion,
00:20:47.18\00:20:51.08
we receive power in
accordance to how much we are
00:20:51.12\00:20:54.99
willing to yield and obey God.
00:20:55.02\00:20:57.69
As a preacher would say,
somebody needs to say Amen!
00:20:57.73\00:21:01.48
because these are the
answers that we are looking for.
00:21:01.51\00:21:05.32
I mean all of us, or many
people, want power in their
00:21:05.36\00:21:09.13
lives, they
want to have victory.
00:21:09.17\00:21:11.18
If it is the mother at
home with the children,
00:21:11.22\00:21:13.22
they don't want to
yell at their kids anymore.
00:21:13.26\00:21:15.20
If it is the husband who is
struggling, or the wife with
00:21:15.23\00:21:18.37
sexual things, that you
want to do that anymore,
00:21:18.40\00:21:21.42
but they can't seem to get
the power and a victory over
00:21:21.45\00:21:24.61
these things, and God
00:21:24.65\00:21:25.79
is saying, listen surrender
all to Me, as we learned
00:21:25.82\00:21:29.49
in the previous program,
now yield everything to Me and
00:21:29.53\00:21:33.16
you will have a lot of power,
00:21:33.20\00:21:35.65
and that is what we need,
we need power in our lives.
00:21:35.68\00:21:38.15
It is daily because
again we are in a battle each
00:21:38.19\00:21:40.63
and every moment.
00:21:40.66\00:21:41.92
Now we wants to look at
an actual example in the
00:21:41.96\00:21:44.10
scripture that reveals this
law, yield much, much power,
00:21:44.13\00:21:47.47
yield little, little power.
00:21:47.51\00:21:49.30
This law of proportion,
when we yield the Spirit of God
00:21:49.34\00:21:52.30
comes upon us, will refuse
to yield the Spirit of God,
00:21:52.33\00:21:55.26
as it were, has
to draw back from us.
00:21:55.30\00:21:57.76
The Bible says that
God resisted the proud.
00:21:57.79\00:22:00.79
There is a story of Samson.
00:22:00.82\00:22:02.58
Sampson was a man who
yielded to God at different
00:22:02.61\00:22:08.29
times in his life.
00:22:08.32\00:22:10.47
Interestingly enough we find
the laws we been speaking about
00:22:10.51\00:22:13.98
culminate in Judges
13:25 and listen to what
00:22:14.02\00:22:20.95
this tells us Atonte
about Sampson, it says.
00:22:20.98\00:22:23.89
The Spirit of God moved
Sampson but only at times.
00:22:34.45\00:22:39.19
There were times where he
yielded to the Spirit of God
00:22:39.22\00:22:43.29
and times where he, the
Spirit of God could not work
00:22:43.32\00:22:47.35
with him, because he
was yielding very little.
00:22:47.39\00:22:50.80
We find that the law of
inertia, the Spirit of God come
00:22:50.84\00:22:54.63
and move Sampson at times,
but then we saw the law of
00:22:54.66\00:22:59.03
proportion where as Sampson
was moved at one point in
00:22:59.06\00:23:03.40
his life and at other
times he refuse to submit.
00:23:03.43\00:23:06.60
So you see here this
principle, this up-and-down
00:23:06.63\00:23:09.77
principle, the law
proportion being moved,
00:23:09.80\00:23:12.83
and not being moved,
00:23:12.86\00:23:14.16
being moved to not
being moved, and this is what
00:23:14.20\00:23:16.56
the Devils happy with this,
if we don't yield constantly
00:23:16.60\00:23:21.64
to Lord, but are just
moved at times, the devil can
00:23:21.67\00:23:25.27
actually do more damage through
a person who yields at times
00:23:25.31\00:23:29.32
than he can with someone
who doesn't yield at all.
00:23:29.36\00:23:32.61
Because they appear as,
you know people use Sampson
00:23:32.65\00:23:36.55
and David and in his
life he was moved at times.
00:23:36.59\00:23:40.43
Praise the Lord, more
times he was moved by the Spirit
00:23:40.46\00:23:44.07
of God, very few times did
he resist the Spirit of God,
00:23:44.11\00:23:48.78
but in those very few
times, the David's life, so many
00:23:48.81\00:23:53.45
skeptics use David,
look at David, look at David.
00:23:53.48\00:23:55.88
You rarely hear them use
Sampson, Sampson was at least
00:23:55.92\00:23:58.74
consistent and that he
was always up-and-down,
00:23:58.77\00:24:02.08
up-and-down, David was
consistent straight through
00:24:02.12\00:24:04.90
to a certain area in his
life, and because of that,
00:24:04.94\00:24:07.69
they always say look at David.
00:24:07.73\00:24:09.28
The more we yield to God
is the more powerful we are,
00:24:09.31\00:24:14.13
and even yielding to the enemy
once, falling under this law of
00:24:14.17\00:24:17.86
proportion, and
being moved 'only at times'
00:24:17.89\00:24:20.89
is a dangerous thing.
00:24:20.92\00:24:22.29
We want to be yielded at
all times to the Spirit of God.
00:24:22.33\00:24:26.61
The Spirit is moving upon
us because He wants to give us
00:24:26.64\00:24:30.29
power, and another word for
power in the Bible is grace.
00:24:30.33\00:24:33.94
I like Galatians
2:21, what it says.
00:24:33.98\00:24:38.21
So we don't want to
frustrate the grace of God,
00:24:46.54\00:24:49.44
the power, the Holy Spirit
is moving to deliver you and
00:24:49.47\00:24:53.18
He has something for you,
He has power and grace given
00:24:53.21\00:24:56.31
by the Father, and we need
to accept it because we don't
00:24:56.34\00:24:59.40
want to
frustrate the grace of God.
00:24:59.43\00:25:01.15
Grace does not come by the
law, righteousness does not
00:25:01.19\00:25:04.94
come by the law, the law
simply points out to us how
00:25:04.97\00:25:08.69
unrighteous we are.
00:25:08.72\00:25:10.20
The Spirit of God moves
upon us and moves us into a
00:25:10.23\00:25:14.06
peaceful relationship
with the law of God.
00:25:14.10\00:25:18.33
The law of God basically
tells us this and that and this
00:25:18.37\00:25:22.21
is wrong and grace enables
us to walk in the Spirit so
00:25:22.25\00:25:26.05
we will not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
00:25:26.09\00:25:29.31
I think of this Atonte,
Saul was a man who was moved at
00:25:29.35\00:25:33.59
times, there was a time
where he was humble, so humble
00:25:33.62\00:25:36.75
that when they came looking
for him, he was hiding out
00:25:36.79\00:25:39.89
saying I can't be
the king of Israel.
00:25:39.92\00:25:42.28
He was moved at times, and
there were other times in his
00:25:42.31\00:25:44.89
life where he resisted the
movement of the Holy Spirit
00:25:44.93\00:25:48.18
and that began to overtake
the amount of times he was
00:25:48.22\00:25:52.22
moved by God, so finally he
was totally rejected of God.
00:25:52.25\00:25:56.20
We want to stay away from
being moved at times, we want
00:25:56.24\00:25:59.50
to be under the influence
of the Spirit all the time.
00:25:59.54\00:26:02.15
You could be someone out
there saying, you know what,
00:26:02.19\00:26:04.77
that is my life, I
have been moved by the
00:26:04.80\00:26:06.52
Spirit at times.
00:26:06.55\00:26:08.12
Don't be discouraged, because
at this point you can say
00:26:08.16\00:26:10.60
you know what I
realize that I have had a very
00:26:10.64\00:26:12.77
up-and-down situation
going on, but I want to have a
00:26:12.80\00:26:16.24
continuous moving
with the Spirit as
00:26:16.27\00:26:19.45
He moves on your heart.
00:26:19.49\00:26:20.75
You can make that decision
now and accept God's choice
00:26:20.78\00:26:23.73
for your life, because that
is God's will for your life and
00:26:23.77\00:26:26.68
move with the Spirit.
00:26:26.72\00:26:28.13
That brings us to our third
and final law in our closing
00:26:28.16\00:26:31.35
moments of this
particular program.
00:26:31.39\00:26:35.19
It is this Atonte, to the
Spirit's action there is always
00:26:35.22\00:26:41.67
an opposite, but
not equal reaction.
00:26:41.71\00:26:46.78
In other words, every time
the Spirit of God wants to do
00:26:46.81\00:26:50.39
something in our lives,
there is an opposing Spirit.
00:26:50.43\00:26:53.94
There is an opposing force,
though opposing yet not equal
00:26:53.97\00:26:59.18
to the Spirit of
God, that is trying to get
00:26:59.21\00:27:01.03
us to do otherwise.
00:27:01.06\00:27:02.30
When you are sitting
there and feel the Spirit of God
00:27:02.33\00:27:04.96
moving upon me and I
want to do right, there is an
00:27:05.00\00:27:07.55
opposing force that will
always be there, yet not equal
00:27:07.59\00:27:11.00
in power because the Spirit
of God is way more powerful
00:27:11.04\00:27:14.41
than the Spirit of the enemy.
00:27:14.45\00:27:16.27
However, the Spirit of the
enemy will always be there.
00:27:16.31\00:27:18.71
We wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against
00:27:18.75\00:27:21.12
spiritual
wickedness in high places.
00:27:21.16\00:27:22.80
As long as we keep this
law in mind, for every action
00:27:22.83\00:27:26.69
of the Spirit, there is an
opposite but not equal Spirit
00:27:26.72\00:27:30.55
that is working against us.
00:27:30.58\00:27:32.47
We can rest assured that
Christ Spirit is greater than
00:27:32.51\00:27:35.78
the spirit that is in the
world and we can trust in Him
00:27:35.82\00:27:40.04
and give Him our full,
submit ourselves to Him fully.
00:27:40.07\00:27:44.30
That is what God wants us
to do, He wants us to submit
00:27:44.33\00:27:48.87
fully to Him and He will
continue to move on our hearts,
00:27:48.90\00:27:53.40
because not from just the
first moving has God done,
00:27:53.44\00:27:55.48
but He will continue to
move upon us for the rest
00:27:55.52\00:27:58.62
of our spiritual walk.
00:27:58.65\00:28:00.38
Well we thank you
for joining us and we are
00:28:00.42\00:28:02.32
all out of time,
00:28:02.35\00:28:03.32
until next time God bless.
00:28:03.35\00:28:05.52
