Hello and welcome to another
00:00:41.37\00:00:43.11
Behold the Lamb
presents program,
00:00:43.14\00:00:45.24
today's message is
the second in a series
00:00:45.77\00:00:48.28
of five, we've entitled
00:00:48.31\00:00:49.56
"Addressing The
Power of The Holy Spirit."
00:00:49.59\00:00:52.11
In the first of this
five series of sermons
00:00:52.75\00:00:55.39
we discovered that
yes our churches do need
00:00:55.42\00:00:59.10
more Holy Spirit
power. We need God's spirit
00:00:59.13\00:01:02.31
in abundance, if we
were to ever finish the
00:01:02.34\00:01:05.24
work that he has
given us of proclaiming the
00:01:05.27\00:01:08.53
gospel to a
lost and dying world.
00:01:08.56\00:01:11.27
But in order for
our churches to obtain
00:01:11.80\00:01:13.49
this power, we must
first examine ourselves;
00:01:13.52\00:01:16.84
we have to want that
power. We must desire
00:01:16.87\00:01:21.77
to so order our lives
that the Holy Spirit will
00:01:21.80\00:01:24.38
find a home a body
temple in which to dwell.
00:01:24.41\00:01:28.33
Therefore today's
message is entitled
00:01:28.82\00:01:31.32
"You Have To Want That Power"
00:01:31.84\00:01:34.44
"You Have To Want That Power"
00:01:34.47\00:01:37.10
so began today to
pray, study and asking God
00:01:37.13\00:01:41.50
for his outpouring.
Friends, only then will
00:01:41.53\00:01:45.45
our heavenly Father
be able to convict and
00:01:45.48\00:01:48.69
strengthen us to our
come our worldly character
00:01:48.72\00:01:52.12
defects. Only then
will the Gospel of salvation
00:01:52.15\00:01:56.53
truly become alive in
your hearts and only then
00:01:56.56\00:02:01.08
will the Bible become
the truth that will set us
00:02:01.11\00:02:05.60
free from the
enemy snares of sin.
00:02:05.63\00:02:08.02
But first let us
visit 3ABN's worship center
00:02:08.56\00:02:12.57
and richly be
blessed be a song properly
00:02:12.60\00:02:15.76
entitled "My Help" it is sung by
00:02:15.79\00:02:19.19
our friend in
Christ, Lyndon Carriger.
00:02:19.22\00:02:22.68

mine eyes to the hills

Upon thy right hand
00:03:28.92\00:03:33.74
Nor the sun shall
not smite thee by day
00:03:33.77\00:03:39.33
Nor the moon by night
He shall preserve thy soul
00:03:39.36\00:03:47.09
Even forever

00:06:38.90\00:06:58.95
Thank you, for
joining us today wherever you
00:07:03.25\00:07:04.87
maybe around the
world and thank you
00:07:04.90\00:07:06.93
Lyndon for that
beautiful song I know it was a
00:07:06.96\00:07:09.28
blessing. We're glad
that you've joined us but
00:07:09.31\00:07:12.02
you know before we do
our Bible study today and
00:07:12.05\00:07:13.96
we're doing an exciting subject.
00:07:13.99\00:07:16.04
And I know that you
wanna be a part of it,
00:07:16.07\00:07:18.50
before we always
get into the word of God
00:07:19.10\00:07:21.09
we take time to pray,
so let's do that right now.
00:07:21.12\00:07:24.90
You can kneel if
you're at home or wherever
00:07:24.93\00:07:26.72
you might be where
you can, why don't you
00:07:26.75\00:07:27.99
kneel with me and let's pray
00:07:28.02\00:07:29.10
for God's blessing shall we.
00:07:29.13\00:07:30.40
Merciful Father in
Heaven, we thank you
00:07:33.93\00:07:35.50
for the privilege we
have to serve you today.
00:07:35.53\00:07:37.93
We ask as you would
send your Holy Spirit
00:07:37.96\00:07:40.64
to give us
proper understanding of
00:07:40.67\00:07:41.97
your word. Now, we
ask that the things
00:07:42.00\00:07:45.45
of earth will grow
strangely dim as we
00:07:45.48\00:07:47.39
spend this time
with thee. We pray that
00:07:47.42\00:07:49.85
our relationship with
you will improve day by day
00:07:49.88\00:07:52.69
as we continue to
dig in the word and find
00:07:52.72\00:07:55.65
these beautiful
truths. We ask that you would
00:07:55.68\00:07:58.11
bless each and
everyone who listens,
00:07:58.14\00:08:00.53
who views around the
world that hearts and lives
00:08:00.56\00:08:03.61
will be change for eternities,
00:08:03.64\00:08:05.16
my prayer today
in Jesus name, Amen.
00:08:05.19\00:08:07.67
Well, again we're
glad that you've joined us
00:08:10.06\00:08:11.38
we've been doing
started last time a five part
00:08:11.41\00:08:14.18
series on the Holy
Spirit and we've been talking
00:08:14.21\00:08:17.66
about does the
church this is the series"
00:08:17.69\00:08:20.54
Does the Church Need More Power"
00:08:20.57\00:08:22.19
we came to grips by
the way that first of all
00:08:22.22\00:08:25.59
unless we recognize
that we need more power
00:08:25.62\00:08:28.31
that we're not going
to do anything about it
00:08:28.34\00:08:30.63
and as we study the
lesson I think all of us
00:08:30.66\00:08:32.74
came into agreement
that we need more of the
00:08:32.77\00:08:36.10
activating power of
the Holy Spirit inside the
00:08:36.13\00:08:39.93
church and inside of
our individual lives.
00:08:39.96\00:08:42.83
And so as we study
that, I'm sure that each
00:08:43.77\00:08:46.51
one of you got a
little bit of grip on how God
00:08:46.54\00:08:50.00
will use to help
finish work and the necessity
00:08:50.03\00:08:53.07
of having power
from on high. Today,
00:08:53.10\00:08:56.81
by the way our subject,
we're going to be talking
00:08:56.84\00:08:58.81
about you have to
want that power. Now,
00:08:58.84\00:09:02.66
first was what oh
yeah does the church need
00:09:02.69\00:09:04.84
more power? Yes,
now but you have to want
00:09:04.87\00:09:07.40
that power, do you
realize there's many people
00:09:07.43\00:09:10.30
in the church that
says oh I'd like to have
00:09:10.33\00:09:12.43
Holy Spirit power, but
they do nothing about it.
00:09:12.46\00:09:15.23
They don't even desire
in their life oh but once
00:09:15.98\00:09:19.03
we began to see the
importance of the power,
00:09:19.06\00:09:22.19
of the Spirit in our
life and how that we can
00:09:22.22\00:09:25.48
accomplish nothing
without it. I believe that
00:09:25.51\00:09:27.84
you're going to desire
that too, I desire that power,
00:09:27.87\00:09:30.76
I wanna see that power
operating inside the church
00:09:30.79\00:09:33.69
and inside of
individual lives. So, we see as
00:09:33.72\00:09:37.65
we've been studying
that we need to pray for
00:09:37.68\00:09:40.46
this power. By the
way sometime its down
00:09:40.49\00:09:43.71
to fasting and
prayer, but we're gonna really
00:09:43.74\00:09:46.29
be seeking for
this Holy Spirit power.
00:09:46.32\00:09:48.60
We're going to be
saying today in our study
00:09:48.63\00:09:50.63
that Lord I, I need that power,
00:09:50.66\00:09:52.67
I want that power in
my life. It's a necessity
00:09:52.70\00:09:55.77
if I'm going to be
what Jesus wants me to be
00:09:56.37\00:09:58.71
and by the way what might
be the results think about,
00:09:58.74\00:10:02.27
what might be result if
really asked to Holy Spirit
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.23
to come
directly into our hearts,
00:10:05.26\00:10:08.29
into our lives and we let
the things of the earth go.
00:10:08.32\00:10:11.47
You realize what
would take place in our life
00:10:11.50\00:10:12.91
and in mine. By the
way it maybe a conversion
00:10:12.94\00:10:17.31
for you, it maybe
a conversion for me
00:10:17.34\00:10:19.62
and by the way there
will be people that will be
00:10:20.30\00:10:21.99
converted to the
truth. Because of the Spirit
00:10:22.02\00:10:24.54
that lives and dwells
in you, by the way I want
00:10:24.57\00:10:28.08
that in my life and
you know what we'll see
00:10:28.11\00:10:30.18
in the church, I've
heard people say well
00:10:30.21\00:10:32.83
we don't see things
happening in the church,
00:10:32.86\00:10:34.76
well why not? When
the church is filled with
00:10:35.20\00:10:37.69
Holy Spirit power, the
Bible said there's miracles
00:10:37.72\00:10:40.62
and signs and
there's wonders and answers
00:10:40.65\00:10:43.46
to prayer. Oh! Friend,
don't be afraid to pray
00:10:43.49\00:10:46.62
for Holy Spirit power
and by the way when we pray
00:10:46.65\00:10:50.23
for that power
you know we've been,
00:10:50.26\00:10:52.04
you need be praying for
our family and our loved
00:10:52.07\00:10:53.80
ones and those who
maybe outside the Ark of
00:10:53.83\00:10:56.00
safety that the Spirit
of God will work upon them.
00:10:56.03\00:10:59.20
As my mother always
used to say they give
00:10:59.23\00:11:01.51
no rest, day or night
until they accept Jesus Christ
00:11:01.54\00:11:05.19
as the Lord and
Savior. Once we got down on
00:11:05.96\00:11:07.96
our knees and ask
for that kind of power,
00:11:07.99\00:11:09.30
boy what would
happened you know I've been
00:11:09.33\00:11:11.71
reading scripture
the Bible says that, that
00:11:11.74\00:11:13.47
the Spirit is going
to be poured out upon us,
00:11:13.50\00:11:16.36
poured where?
Poured out upon us.
00:11:17.41\00:11:19.40
We talked about before,
not a little sprinkle here
00:11:19.88\00:11:21.90
and there but we're
going to be saturated with
00:11:21.93\00:11:25.39
the power of the
Holy Spirit. Poured out,
00:11:25.42\00:11:27.67
the Bible says open
the windows of heaven
00:11:28.18\00:11:29.34
and there is gonna be
Holy Spirit power poured
00:11:29.37\00:11:31.92
out on us, we talk
about it all the time but are
00:11:31.95\00:11:35.32
we seeing it in
action. I pray that you're
00:11:35.35\00:11:38.53
and I pray that you
know each one of us are
00:11:38.56\00:11:40.45
spending some
more time in the word.
00:11:40.48\00:11:41.66
Because you know
what I wanna be filled
00:11:42.55\00:11:44.26
completely with
the power of heaven.
00:11:44.29\00:11:47.15
Heaven wants to bestow it on me.
00:11:47.18\00:11:50.18
Now as we study this
message it's clear that
00:11:50.21\00:11:53.17
we need it, it's clear
now that as we're studying
00:11:53.20\00:11:55.78
here that we have to
desire this kind of power.
00:11:55.81\00:12:00.25
Now, by the way for
those of you who maybe
00:12:00.83\00:12:04.50
didn't get to view
that first part, let me
00:12:04.53\00:12:06.59
just kind of fill you
in just a little bit here
00:12:07.67\00:12:09.42
and filling in is
simply is that we must what
00:12:10.24\00:12:12.96
recognize when we're
maybe weak in an area,
00:12:12.99\00:12:15.37
recognize that we
have our problem before
00:12:15.40\00:12:17.30
it can ever be fixed
and so as we recognize
00:12:17.33\00:12:19.77
it we say okay Lord we want it,
00:12:19.80\00:12:20.98
we need this more
power. But it's a power that
00:12:21.01\00:12:24.15
we talked about
that comes from what?
00:12:24.18\00:12:26.73
Not within us, but a
power that's outside of us
00:12:27.71\00:12:31.00
that we're going to
invite into us to totally take
00:12:31.03\00:12:35.91
control of your live
what kind of individual
00:12:35.94\00:12:38.94
would you be. What kind
of individual would I be,
00:12:38.97\00:12:41.63
what would the church
be if we allow the Spirit
00:12:43.32\00:12:47.78
of God to really come
in and take control of us.
00:12:47.81\00:12:50.37
Friend, we can find
the answers to these
00:12:51.50\00:12:53.34
questions because God
wants to bestow it upon
00:12:53.37\00:12:56.40
his church and by the
way that power when it
00:12:56.43\00:12:59.18
comes is going to comes
straight from the throne
00:12:59.21\00:13:01.78
room of God. And
again I'm not asking for a
00:13:01.81\00:13:05.05
sprinkling today
I'm asking for what?
00:13:05.08\00:13:06.77
I wanna be bathed in
it and I know that you
00:13:06.80\00:13:09.38
do too, it's essential.
But here is think, here
00:13:09.41\00:13:12.88
is a question for you.
I want you think with me
00:13:12.91\00:13:16.03
those of you, you
need to write some things
00:13:16.60\00:13:18.43
down 'cause you're gonna
forget, bless your heart.
00:13:18.46\00:13:20.17
Are there conditions on
receiving Holy Spirit power?
00:13:22.18\00:13:26.07
Are there any
conditions? And I think probably
00:13:27.28\00:13:30.38
most of us, our
first answer would be oh!
00:13:30.41\00:13:32.38
Yes, I know
there are conditions,
00:13:32.41\00:13:34.79
but let me give you one of the,
00:13:35.78\00:13:37.43
what I think is the
one of the main conditions
00:13:38.38\00:13:41.58
upon receiving the
power of the Spirit.
00:13:41.61\00:13:44.28
But one that
majority of Christians reject,
00:13:45.36\00:13:49.04
you have your Bible,
I want you turn with me
00:13:49.77\00:13:51.97
the New Testament
to the book of Acts,
00:13:52.59\00:13:54.10
in Acts chapter 5
verse 32. I want you
00:13:54.80\00:13:58.41
think about this
here, now remember the Bible
00:13:58.44\00:14:01.90
says and when the
Bible says that's what you
00:14:01.93\00:14:04.20
and I are to believe,
by faith we believe what
00:14:04.23\00:14:05.83
the Bible said. Listen,
no, no, don't add to it,
00:14:05.86\00:14:08.21
don't subtract, but
just simply read it by faith,
00:14:08.24\00:14:11.84
accept it as the Holy
Spirit as brought to us
00:14:11.87\00:14:15.26
here is what my Bible
says if you're talking
00:14:16.61\00:14:18.90
Holy Spirit and by
the I see many Christians
00:14:18.93\00:14:20.72
who never quote this
passage of scripture.
00:14:20.75\00:14:24.04
They deal with
feelings and emotions and all
00:14:24.07\00:14:26.70
other kind of things,
but my Bible says this,
00:14:26.73\00:14:29.43
the Holy Spirit is
given to those who, oh!
00:14:29.46\00:14:34.51
I heard somebody
that what, that obey him.
00:14:34.54\00:14:37.99
That's what Acts
5:32 says, the Holy Spirit
00:14:38.02\00:14:41.51
then the Bible says is
given to those listen who
00:14:41.54\00:14:45.09
submit themselves to
God. The Holy Spirit is given
00:14:45.12\00:14:48.43
to those who by the
way want to put him first
00:14:48.46\00:14:52.51
in their life. The Holy
Spirit is given to those
00:14:52.54\00:14:55.69
who conform that's
what the word obey,
00:14:55.72\00:14:59.22
those who obey,
those who conform,
00:15:00.21\00:15:02.31
those who submit, those
who are willing to put him
00:15:02.34\00:15:05.53
first in their life.
Now, remember keep this as
00:15:05.56\00:15:09.39
the basis of what we're
building on today please
00:15:09.42\00:15:12.21
today that. You act
let everything thing else
00:15:12.24\00:15:14.75
go I've heard people
to call and say well you
00:15:14.78\00:15:16.28
know I fell to
certain thing that's wonderful
00:15:16.31\00:15:18.85
God gives us
feelings, he's the author of our
00:15:18.88\00:15:21.64
emotions and so on
but we've to keep them
00:15:21.67\00:15:23.08
in check based upon
what? Based upon the
00:15:23.11\00:15:26.02
word of God, we
can't get away from that,
00:15:26.05\00:15:28.81
I've actually had this
takes nerve by the way,
00:15:29.73\00:15:32.05
I don't mind challenging
some of the Christians
00:15:32.08\00:15:34.07
if you're one of
those today 'cause I want
00:15:34.10\00:15:35.43
you to think. If
you're one of those who read
00:15:35.46\00:15:37.99
the scripture and you
say I know what it says but.
00:15:38.02\00:15:41.34
You're in trouble,
you're in trouble I know what it
00:15:43.22\00:15:45.60
says but, that means
what I felt, I sensed,
00:15:45.63\00:15:52.43
I seen oh you
can't trust your eyes,
00:15:53.02\00:15:55.13
you can't trust your
senses. The heart is what
00:15:55.16\00:15:57.66
deceitful isn't above
all things it's desperately
00:15:57.69\00:16:00.59
the Bible said
wicked who can know it.
00:16:00.62\00:16:03.52
So, with the firm
foundation that we have is
00:16:05.11\00:16:07.18
scripture so the
power of the Spirit.
00:16:07.21\00:16:09.22
There is no exception
to it, the spirit, Holy
00:16:09.96\00:16:11.99
Spirit is given to
those who obey not disobey
00:16:12.02\00:16:15.89
that's what the
Bible says and you know by
00:16:15.92\00:16:18.72
the way we talked
about, we're talking about this
00:16:18.75\00:16:22.03
conditions of
receiving this Holy Spirit power
00:16:22.06\00:16:24.70
and obeying God's
word, in fact how much of
00:16:24.73\00:16:28.58
God's word must we
obey oh! The Bible is very
00:16:28.61\00:16:31.10
clear maybe
elementary to some but Matthew
00:16:31.13\00:16:33.11
chapter 4 verse 4 says:
Every word that proceeds
00:16:33.14\00:16:37.14
out of the mouth
of God, how many one?
00:16:37.17\00:16:40.76
Every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God,
00:16:40.79\00:16:46.56
oh! That's interesting,
that's exciting every word,
00:16:46.59\00:16:49.30
you remember what Peter
says and by the way this
00:16:50.00\00:16:52.37
is also found in Acts
chapter 5 verse 29 it said:
00:16:52.40\00:16:56.55
Peter and the
other disciples, listen
00:16:56.58\00:16:58.81
carefully and the other
disciples said notice this:
00:16:58.84\00:17:01.85
We ought to obey God
rather than man. They
00:17:01.88\00:17:05.92
came to this conclusion,
they weren't interest
00:17:07.19\00:17:09.80
in what men are
saying, by the way they
00:17:09.83\00:17:15.15
wasn't interested in
what, you know what criteria
00:17:15.18\00:17:17.81
man might operate
upon. They were interested
00:17:17.84\00:17:21.55
in what the Holy
Spirit, what scripture told them
00:17:22.01\00:17:24.86
to do. This is what
we've to come to grips
00:17:24.89\00:17:27.89
with God's word
today. We ought to obey God
00:17:27.92\00:17:30.96
rather than men and
by the way you remember
00:17:30.99\00:17:34.43
lets to do this quickly
because I think it's very
00:17:34.46\00:17:36.04
interesting we talk
about obedience because
00:17:36.07\00:17:38.32
again as soon as
you mention the word
00:17:38.35\00:17:39.81
obedience to some
Christians what is it?
00:17:39.84\00:17:42.28
Oh the wall goes up,
we don't have to worry
00:17:42.96\00:17:45.73
about being obedient,
we don't have to remember
00:17:45.76\00:17:48.34
Holy Spirit is given to
those that what that obey
00:17:48.37\00:17:50.69
so if you're disobeying
the right word of God.
00:17:50.72\00:17:53.24
Every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God,
00:17:54.34\00:17:55.90
you are not, you have
not received the Holy Spirit.
00:17:55.93\00:17:58.80
There maybe a Spirit
leading in your life and
00:18:00.57\00:18:02.44
it may seem like oh but
it is not the fruits will
00:18:02.47\00:18:04.92
tell otherwise.
Because the Bible is clear
00:18:04.95\00:18:08.36
on we have to obey
him, in 1 Samuel 15:22
00:18:08.39\00:18:12.36
the Bible was talking
very interesting it said,
00:18:12.39\00:18:15.83
It's better to obey
than what? Than sacrifice and
00:18:15.86\00:18:22.83
it's interesting when
you look up 1 Samuel by the
00:18:22.86\00:18:25.20
way 15:22 and began to
dig a little bit in the word,
00:18:25.23\00:18:28.25
dwell little here, and
there little for the truth
00:18:28.28\00:18:30.74
remember, is that Jesus
was talking little deeper,
00:18:30.77\00:18:35.51
he was speaking a
little deeper to his Spirit,
00:18:36.97\00:18:39.68
now notice that, it's
better here he said to obey
00:18:40.95\00:18:43.86
than to sacrifice. It
was talking about ceremonial;
00:18:43.89\00:18:49.02
you know that was
taking place in the earthly
00:18:49.05\00:18:50.85
sanctuary. But also
talking about a sacrifice
00:18:50.88\00:18:53.47
here what giving,
we must include that in
00:18:53.50\00:18:59.27
this passage. Jesus
says what good will it do
00:18:59.30\00:19:03.69
if we're willing to give
or sacrifice and we're taking
00:19:03.72\00:19:06.28
our finances, we're
giving and we're doing when
00:19:06.31\00:19:09.30
the heart is not
changed when we're living in
00:19:09.33\00:19:11.51
disobedience to God's
laws. He says I don't need
00:19:11.54\00:19:15.73
what you have, why
doesn't God need what you why?
00:19:15.76\00:19:19.09
Because he owns it all,
the Bible say you also say
00:19:19.12\00:19:22.37
cattle on what
the thousand hills.
00:19:22.40\00:19:24.53
And so He says rather
than you sacrifice or give
00:19:26.26\00:19:28.32
some of the things that
I've already given to you,
00:19:28.35\00:19:29.77
just give me your
heart. If we want that power,
00:19:29.80\00:19:35.23
if you said in your
heart you know I want this kind
00:19:37.32\00:19:40.59
of power in my life I
want to be God's companion.
00:19:40.62\00:19:44.64
I want to be filled with
this kind of power in our
00:19:46.40\00:19:48.87
life than we need to
look at some of this passage
00:19:48.90\00:19:51.60
by the way in
Hebrews chapter 5 verse 9 the
00:19:51.63\00:19:55.34
Bible is clear listen carefully:
00:19:55.37\00:19:56.66
That Salvation, oh,
oh, salvation is given
00:19:57.07\00:20:00.01
to those who will
obey him. Conditional,
00:20:00.04\00:20:04.40
do you see receiving
that kind of power there
00:20:04.43\00:20:06.94
are what? There are
conditions and oh I'm
00:20:06.97\00:20:10.12
talking about the most
important condition has
00:20:10.15\00:20:12.29
to do with what? The
Bible says salvation;
00:20:12.32\00:20:14.69
salvation is given
to those that do what,
00:20:14.72\00:20:17.72
that obey him as
what scripture tells me.
00:20:17.75\00:20:19.90
And when we talk about
obey that means salvation
00:20:21.62\00:20:23.88
is given to those
listen, who consent to the word
00:20:23.91\00:20:27.10
of God. Salvation is
given to those listen carefully
00:20:27.13\00:20:30.65
the word here mean to
give ear to the word of God.
00:20:30.68\00:20:33.99
Those who heed the
word of God notice that and
00:20:34.92\00:20:38.05
by the way we look at
it the word is what it's
00:20:38.08\00:20:41.02
conditional. Salvation
is conditional upon our
00:20:41.05\00:20:47.83
being obedient oh as
much as we don't wanna
00:20:47.86\00:20:52.00
hear that as
much as detest that,
00:20:52.03\00:20:53.77
think about it, think
about it with me right
00:20:55.68\00:20:58.52
now no, no, no, think
about it, some of you are
00:20:58.55\00:21:00.52
not thinking with
me. Salvation is what?
00:21:00.55\00:21:04.33
It depends upon our
being obedient to God and by
00:21:05.82\00:21:11.11
the way the book of
Matthew says in 8:27,
00:21:11.14\00:21:14.19
this was very interesting,
Bible said you know:
00:21:15.30\00:21:18.14
Disciples going out and
different people going in
00:21:18.17\00:21:21.11
different and the
Sadducees and Pharisees
00:21:21.14\00:21:23.40
and so on and so
forth and they, and you know
00:21:23.43\00:21:26.21
when Jesus walked the
earth everything in nature
00:21:26.24\00:21:29.35
even obeyed him and
then the Mark 8:27 it says:
00:21:29.38\00:21:32.55
they looked
around, as though ooh!
00:21:32.58\00:21:34.57
What kind of a man is
this, what kind of a man
00:21:34.60\00:21:38.52
is this that even the
wind and the sea obey him.
00:21:38.55\00:21:42.48
He asked our
obedience, nature obeys him,
00:21:44.80\00:21:48.31
the people walking
they wanna know what kind
00:21:49.90\00:21:51.02
of a man is this
right here, everything,
00:21:51.05\00:21:53.44
he had the sea, the
winds obey his voice.
00:21:53.47\00:21:56.81
Oh! Friend, and by
the way when you can still
00:21:58.38\00:22:01.46
can studying here you got
your Bible and you jotting
00:22:01.49\00:22:03.47
things down in the
book of Mark 1:27 this is,
00:22:03.50\00:22:07.33
this is powerful is that
even the unclean Spirits.
00:22:07.36\00:22:12.08
They do obey him,
think about what Jesus
00:22:12.93\00:22:17.31
is saying, if we have
Holy Spirit power in life
00:22:17.34\00:22:20.67
and you really want
that power in your life dear
00:22:20.70\00:22:23.34
friends you will
have power over the devil.
00:22:23.37\00:22:26.20
You're gonna have power
over the unclean Spirits,
00:22:27.85\00:22:31.14
you say well I
don't know Jesus did,
00:22:32.31\00:22:33.57
Jesus said things that
he did what? Greater thing
00:22:33.60\00:22:36.92
will you do, if you're
filled, he was just filled
00:22:36.95\00:22:40.50
with the father, he was
fill with Holy Spirit power
00:22:40.53\00:22:42.69
we did not worry
about the demons from hell
00:22:44.34\00:22:46.29
do we? Now, when
Jesus is ,filling our minds
00:22:46.32\00:22:49.52
and our heart.
Jeremiah 7:23 you go to the
00:22:49.55\00:22:53.92
Old Testament and it
says if you will obey my voice
00:22:53.95\00:22:56.83
notice this I will be
your God. Oh! That's beautiful,
00:22:56.86\00:23:01.76
if you do what? If you
will obey I will be what?
00:23:03.67\00:23:07.29
Your God, the unclean
Spirits, they obey him,
00:23:07.32\00:23:12.58
the sea and the
winds they obey him.
00:23:13.13\00:23:15.24
Salvation depends upon
what? Our obedience to him,
00:23:15.79\00:23:20.42
to obey is better than
to sacrifice the Bible says,
00:23:21.13\00:23:24.18
we ought to obey
God rather than men that
00:23:24.93\00:23:26.75
word obey you
cannot throw it out.
00:23:26.78\00:23:28.58
There is something
about obedience is what the
00:23:30.41\00:23:32.55
Bible says and then
we switch back by the way
00:23:32.58\00:23:34.78
to the New Testament
to the book of Romans,
00:23:34.81\00:23:37.38
Romans chapter 2 verse
16 it says: His servants are
00:23:38.03\00:23:43.84
ye or those who obey
him, so if we're servants of
00:23:43.87\00:23:48.31
the most high then we are what,
00:23:48.34\00:23:51.12
we're going to be obedient
to what he ask us to do.
00:23:51.15\00:23:54.62
Oh! Friend, think on
this for a moment you know
00:23:54.65\00:23:57.78
I often say and
many, many times you know
00:23:57.81\00:23:59.66
I loved to
sometime punch pretty hard.
00:23:59.69\00:24:01.46
This is not me doing
the punching, is the word
00:24:02.49\00:24:03.94
of God and I wanna
bring it so close to home
00:24:03.97\00:24:06.46
that you're gonna
take it serious. Oh!
00:24:06.49\00:24:08.08
I'm talking about
today is life and death issue
00:24:09.09\00:24:11.24
we recognize we need
the power right in our
00:24:12.69\00:24:14.52
first part. Second part
right there in our series
00:24:14.55\00:24:16.73
here is we have to
desire that we want,
00:24:16.76\00:24:18.68
have to want that
power, we have to desire
00:24:18.71\00:24:21.16
that power, do
you want that power?
00:24:21.19\00:24:24.10
Before you want it
you have to recognize,
00:24:27.48\00:24:28.92
realize that you need
it, but I want you to think
00:24:28.95\00:24:32.19
on this for a moment,
let me just throw you a
00:24:32.22\00:24:33.46
little bomb. And I'm
gonna, I'm going to include
00:24:33.49\00:24:37.80
every men, every
women, every child that is
00:24:37.83\00:24:43.00
not under the control
notice of the Spirit of God
00:24:43.03\00:24:47.52
is under the
influence of Satan and his power
00:24:49.20\00:24:53.02
did you get that?
Oh! Friend I want you to
00:24:54.68\00:24:56.73
get that, that rings in
my mind today I pray this,
00:24:56.76\00:25:00.81
it's ringing in
your mind, every men,
00:25:00.84\00:25:04.76
women and child
not under the what?
00:25:04.79\00:25:06.50
The control of the
Spirit of God is underneath
00:25:06.53\00:25:09.90
what? The influence
of the devil's power,
00:25:09.93\00:25:12.94
it's one or other,
you just totally committed
00:25:14.76\00:25:17.04
or you're not, yo;u
either are or you aren't.
00:25:17.07\00:25:19.01
This is heavy duty
spend, could it fool some of us,
00:25:20.91\00:25:23.26
some of us be
fooled. Wow, what do you mean
00:25:23.29\00:25:28.66
under the power of
the devil. You know what
00:25:28.69\00:25:33.80
the devil will do
when you get underneath his
00:25:33.83\00:25:35.57
influence; he's going to
lead you away from truth.
00:25:35.60\00:25:40.45
How will he lead me
away from the truth,
00:25:42.45\00:25:43.42
how would he lead
others away from truth,
00:25:46.91\00:25:48.24
dear friend you will
lead them astray by your words
00:25:48.27\00:25:51.14
and by your example.
You're gonna lead them
00:25:51.17\00:25:54.28
away by your example,
now by the way if this is
00:25:54.31\00:25:59.51
your case today let
me just talk to you.
00:25:59.54\00:26:01.27
You know why I need to
be talking to everybody;
00:26:03.42\00:26:04.80
I'm talking to
myself here today.
00:26:04.83\00:26:06.16
If this be the case
then somehow we've slipped
00:26:06.19\00:26:11.25
on that side of the
enemy there why not,
00:26:11.28\00:26:14.35
why not, why not
change the one that you
00:26:15.36\00:26:21.86
been hanging out
with, why not change your
00:26:21.89\00:26:24.83
companionship, notice
the word from the enemy
00:26:24.86\00:26:28.15
to the
companionship of Jesus Christ.
00:26:28.18\00:26:31.30
You see how that
really kind of gets together,
00:26:33.04\00:26:35.14
maybe gets a little
heated for us at a time and
00:26:35.17\00:26:37.36
we just say wait a
minute here but I'm talking
00:26:37.39\00:26:39.19
about companionship
means that you spend
00:26:39.22\00:26:41.31
sometime together
doesn't it, means you're
00:26:41.34\00:26:43.29
pretty close
together. Sometime your buddy,
00:26:43.32\00:26:45.22
you're either a
companion with the devil
00:26:45.25\00:26:47.04
or you're a
companion with Jesus Christ,
00:26:47.07\00:26:49.03
which you as it today?
I invite you take Christ
00:26:49.06\00:26:53.26
as your companion you
can do that right now because
00:26:53.29\00:26:56.82
the book of Matthew
chapter 12 verse 30 says
00:26:56.85\00:27:00.39
hey and I quote this
often and it is so true always:
00:27:00.42\00:27:03.38
He who is not
with me is against me,
00:27:03.41\00:27:07.70
absolutely you're
either for him or against him,
00:27:07.73\00:27:11.19
there is no middle
ground. So, I can only play
00:27:11.22\00:27:14.89
with you, you need this
power you desire what this
00:27:14.92\00:27:17.79
power, this is our
only hope in the Christian
00:27:17.82\00:27:21.71
movement in our individual life.
00:27:21.74\00:27:23.81
We must want that power, oh!
00:27:24.63\00:27:26.02
I love the Old Testament
in the book of Psalms 37
00:27:26.05\00:27:29.05
verse 5, 4 it says: Delight
thyself also in the Lord;
00:27:29.08\00:27:34.13
and he will give thee
the desires of thy heart,
00:27:34.16\00:27:38.18
but notice he'll give
you desires of your heart
00:27:38.82\00:27:40.91
if you do what?
Good, if you delight,
00:27:40.94\00:27:44.08
friends are you
delighting in the Lord today,
00:27:44.11\00:27:46.72
is he in your delight.
Do you wake up thinking
00:27:47.40\00:27:50.64
about him; do you go
to bed thinking about him?
00:27:50.67\00:27:52.54
Do you want your
life to be like him?
00:27:52.57\00:27:55.30
Do you want him to fully
reproduce right his image
00:27:57.18\00:27:59.35
inside of you? Remember
what he's talking about,
00:27:59.38\00:28:04.11
delight thyself in the
Lord. That means are we
00:28:04.14\00:28:09.51
really earnestly
seeking him, if you're earnestly
00:28:09.54\00:28:13.82
seeking him he's going
give you that desire that you
00:28:13.85\00:28:17.22
have. See there's too
many people in the world
00:28:17.25\00:28:19.22
today by the way, I
desire a nice home, I desire
00:28:19.25\00:28:22.73
a new car, I desire
a job. I desire a mate,
00:28:23.35\00:28:28.04
I desire things of this
world. Jesus said I'm gonna
00:28:28.07\00:28:34.13
give you the
desires of your heart,
00:28:34.16\00:28:36.67
that means how about
the request be careful
00:28:37.53\00:28:41.15
what we pray for, he said
I will give you the request
00:28:41.18\00:28:44.19
right of your heart
either partitions of your heart.
00:28:44.22\00:28:47.84
Where all these today
what do you really praying
00:28:49.18\00:28:50.83
about in your life
today, what do you really
00:28:50.86\00:28:53.12
earnestly seeking
today? Is it a closer law walk
00:28:53.15\00:28:57.56
with Jesus in
order you're doing that
00:28:57.59\00:29:00.22
by listen carefully two
things fasting and prayer.
00:29:00.25\00:29:03.83
When you really get
serious with God you're gonna
00:29:03.86\00:29:06.07
spend sometime, my
mother many years ago,
00:29:06.10\00:29:09.13
she used to sing us a
song you know how long it
00:29:09.16\00:29:11.39
has been. Since you
kneel by your bed and prayed
00:29:11.42\00:29:15.13
to the Lord in secret,
you know how long has it
00:29:17.80\00:29:18.77
been you know since we
knelt there and we prayed,
00:29:18.78\00:29:20.54
maybe all night long
and until the dawn came up.
00:29:20.57\00:29:23.15
Oh! By the night time
usually most were tired
00:29:23.18\00:29:26.34
you've worn out, you say
oh! Lord bless the family
00:29:26.37\00:29:27.97
and that's it, when
you really desire something
00:29:28.00\00:29:30.27
you're gonna spend sometime,
00:29:30.30\00:29:31.27
you're gonna be
praying, you're gonna say God
00:29:31.28\00:29:33.16
I'm gonna fast so my
mind can be clear to be whole,
00:29:33.19\00:29:36.20
the things of God I wanna
be filled with that Spirit.
00:29:36.23\00:29:39.37
And by the way this
story told about a man
00:29:39.40\00:29:46.54
and he was an
American, an Englishmen,
00:29:46.57\00:29:50.41
wanted to come over
in the country to visit
00:29:50.44\00:29:54.98
and they were, they
were viewing the Niagara
00:29:55.01\00:29:58.51
Falls and what they would
really called the whirlpool
00:29:58.54\00:30:01.91
rapids and suppose the
men were standing there
00:30:01.94\00:30:04.70
and they were kind of
viewing the overall picture
00:30:04.73\00:30:07.55
there and oh boy this
is really good and one
00:30:07.58\00:30:09.97
of the men elbowed the
other and said I'm gonna
00:30:10.00\00:30:11.78
show you something,
I'm gonna show you the
00:30:11.81\00:30:14.23
greatest unused
power in the world.
00:30:14.26\00:30:17.38
And so they made
their way down to the foot
00:30:21.24\00:30:23.35
or the bottom of Niagara
and there the men pointed
00:30:23.38\00:30:28.21
down and said look
this is the greatest unused
00:30:28.24\00:30:33.58
power in the world.
The other men looked him
00:30:33.61\00:30:39.46
he said oh! My
brother, not so, but it confused
00:30:39.49\00:30:47.62
the man for a moment
what do you mean not so,
00:30:47.65\00:30:48.76
is there another
fall or is there something
00:30:48.79\00:30:50.58
that's greater than
this. Oh! Not so my brother
00:30:50.61\00:30:53.21
the greatest unused
power in the world is the
00:30:54.17\00:30:58.14
Holy Spirit of the
living God oh how sad,
00:30:58.17\00:31:02.05
the greatest unused
power in the world is the
00:31:05.01\00:31:10.90
Holy Spirit. And it
is for us, not using the
00:31:10.93\00:31:17.44
Holy Spirit but
letting the Holy Spirit use us,
00:31:17.47\00:31:20.49
why don't we let
that happen in our life.
00:31:23.15\00:31:24.72
Always little difficulties
these things will be
00:31:24.75\00:31:28.19
smoothed out. God
will use us to win souls,
00:31:28.22\00:31:33.26
let's tab into that
power, by the way Zechariah 4:6
00:31:35.44\00:31:41.56
I know most of you
know this, the Bible says:
00:31:42.24\00:31:45.20
Not by what?
Might, nor by power,
00:31:45.23\00:31:47.66
but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts.
00:31:47.69\00:31:51.30
So, it's not by
what? Not by might,
00:31:51.85\00:31:53.97
it's not by power in
the world. Well, I'm gonna
00:31:54.00\00:31:56.08
do this, I've got
this here, I've got money,
00:31:56.11\00:31:58.10
I've got power, I've got client,
00:31:58.13\00:31:59.95
you know I've got
the cloud they call it.
00:31:59.98\00:32:02.18
I've got power in the
world and the Bible comes
00:32:03.82\00:32:06.47
back and say it's
not by man's might,
00:32:06.50\00:32:08.14
not by his power,
not by his position,
00:32:08.17\00:32:10.52
not by his finances,
not by his education.
00:32:10.55\00:32:13.51
But that power
comes from none other than
00:32:13.54\00:32:15.72
the Holy Spirit.
Friend, we need it in our life
00:32:15.75\00:32:18.72
we do need to desire it
that we have in our life,
00:32:18.75\00:32:21.09
oh God help us. Reading
one of my favorite books
00:32:21.12\00:32:25.70
called the great
controversy in page 5,
00:32:25.73\00:32:27.55
528, 529, I'm gonna
read part of that to you
00:32:28.30\00:32:31.52
and I want you to
listen it. This is so important
00:32:31.55\00:32:36.15
to those of you who
us, who are struggling
00:32:36.18\00:32:38.92
everyday to live the
victorious life and what's
00:32:38.95\00:32:41.71
available to us, oh please
don't miss this right. Take
00:32:41.74\00:32:45.17
your pencil and your
paper put it down right now,
00:32:45.20\00:32:47.48
please write it down
and say look I'm gonna go
00:32:47.51\00:32:50.30
back and study this
out. This is encouragement
00:32:50.33\00:32:53.80
to me, it says:
Neither wicked men nor devils,
00:32:53.83\00:32:57.08
neither wicked men nor
devils can hinder the work
00:32:57.11\00:33:01.39
of God, that makes me
wanna shout and I just
00:33:01.42\00:33:03.78
might do it. Neither
what? Oh the wicked men
00:33:03.81\00:33:07.52
nor devils can
hinder the work of God.
00:33:07.55\00:33:10.13
Oh! Look the devil's
slowed us down again,
00:33:10.16\00:33:12.79
now the devil done,
hey I've been saying that
00:33:12.82\00:33:14.68
myself a lot. We know
he's active but remember
00:33:14.71\00:33:19.59
he cannot didn't say
stop it he can't even hinder
00:33:19.62\00:33:23.15
the work of God. That's
powerful or he can't shut
00:33:23.18\00:33:29.18
out the presence,
reading on. His presence from
00:33:29.21\00:33:33.11
His people, he can't
shut God's presence away from
00:33:33.14\00:33:37.51
us, isn't that
wonderful to know we need that,
00:33:37.54\00:33:40.45
notice and then here
comes this thing if or some
00:33:42.41\00:33:46.02
of us don't wanna
hear about this if.
00:33:46.05\00:33:47.48
But if today if you're
saying right now I'll tell
00:33:49.61\00:33:51.62
we're working for
Jesus and we got to tell you
00:33:51.65\00:33:53.96
it's seems like we're
being stopped at which
00:33:53.99\00:33:55.79
ever we go say
look no wicked man,
00:33:55.82\00:33:57.64
no devil can hinder
the work of God, no devil
00:33:57.67\00:33:59.92
can shut the power
of God away from me,
00:34:00.37\00:34:03.37
principalities
empowers you remember it.
00:34:04.43\00:34:06.19
But then if comes
in, oh! Why does if,
00:34:08.37\00:34:10.64
the article goes on
to say if they will, with
00:34:13.17\00:34:17.09
subdued, get it, what is
this talking about subdued
00:34:17.12\00:34:21.88
that means if I'll
subject myself under subjection
00:34:22.93\00:34:28.17
to the Holy Spirit. I
need to soften, I need submit,
00:34:28.20\00:34:32.91
notice this, I submit by
training I must be willing
00:34:32.94\00:34:39.24
to submit myself to the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:34:39.27\00:34:41.84
to retrain me if necessary,
I have to have that kind
00:34:41.87\00:34:47.16
of heart that's willing
to taught then the no devil
00:34:47.19\00:34:52.98
can stop us from
doing what needs to be done
00:34:53.01\00:34:55.13
for Jesus and it
simply means here when
00:34:55.16\00:34:57.70
you're talking
about subdued that means,
00:34:57.73\00:35:00.13
listen some of
you stop fighting God,
00:35:00.16\00:35:03.48
it's a losing
battle you can't fight God,
00:35:04.09\00:35:05.59
you can't win a
battle have you ever thought
00:35:05.62\00:35:07.83
for just a moment
about that like fighting God,
00:35:07.86\00:35:11.09
well you know if
don't wanna do this,
00:35:11.12\00:35:12.98
I'm not gonna have to
do that you realize who
00:35:13.01\00:35:14.88
you're talking to if
you're addressing God of the
00:35:14.91\00:35:17.15
Universe. Friend, you
are nothing and I'm nothing
00:35:17.18\00:35:21.22
in this world but God
thinks that we're and I
00:35:21.25\00:35:24.68
praise him for that,
Jesus willing to come
00:35:24.71\00:35:26.57
and die for us. But
never stand in the face of God,
00:35:26.60\00:35:29.44
never challenge God,
best thing for you and I,
00:35:29.47\00:35:31.72
we want power of the
Spirit, power to win souls,
00:35:31.75\00:35:33.88
power to do something
for Jesus is to submit
00:35:33.91\00:35:36.66
our self to him, to
be approachable, to be
00:35:36.69\00:35:39.16
teachable, to be
loving and to be kind notice.
00:35:39.19\00:35:43.18
The article goes on and
it says here that we need
00:35:44.07\00:35:47.54
to be subdued and
contrite, think about this.
00:35:47.57\00:35:51.48
This simply is once
again, once again it means,
00:35:52.33\00:35:54.27
means humbled doesn't
it, it also means here what
00:35:54.30\00:35:57.09
to remorse. It means
sorrow, so if we come and
00:35:57.12\00:36:02.94
we confess our sins, if
we really sorry about that,
00:36:02.97\00:36:05.86
we get our life right
with God something's going
00:36:05.89\00:36:08.36
to happen in our
heart. And the article goes
00:36:08.39\00:36:10.85
on and says if we
confess notice away, notice
00:36:10.88\00:36:13.35
this is very
important if we confess and
00:36:13.38\00:36:16.39
put away our sins. Now,
remember I'm talking about
00:36:16.42\00:36:21.57
this if you want that
power that the wicked men
00:36:21.60\00:36:25.20
or devils can't stop
and by the way sometime
00:36:25.23\00:36:28.62
in the church we
have people trying to stop
00:36:28.65\00:36:30.28
the movement of
God. They can't do it,
00:36:30.31\00:36:32.66
but they try it, the
wicked men or the devils
00:36:32.69\00:36:36.81
can't stop or they
can't shut out God from us,
00:36:36.84\00:36:39.28
they can't stop God's
blessings and yes sometimes
00:36:39.31\00:36:43.03
we think, oh
they've stop this doing,
00:36:43.06\00:36:44.81
no they can't stop it.
God may work in another
00:36:44.84\00:36:48.62
channel, another
avenue and go around whatever
00:36:48.65\00:36:50.61
but God will have his
way as the end result.
00:36:50.64\00:36:53.58
I say we need to
confess and put away our
00:36:54.65\00:36:56.22
sins in faith, notice
this and claim his promises,
00:36:56.25\00:37:00.89
notice this, if we do
this, this is where it's at.
00:37:00.92\00:37:05.38
This is what's happening
I'm telling dear friends
00:37:05.96\00:37:07.68
what needs to happen
in the church, we got,
00:37:07.71\00:37:10.44
we must pay
attention to what we're talking
00:37:10.47\00:37:12.22
about here. We're
gonna put away confess and
00:37:12.25\00:37:14.56
put away sins. Then
it goes on in faith claim
00:37:14.59\00:37:17.83
promises notice this,
his promises and every
00:37:17.86\00:37:21.97
temptation, every
what? Didn't say every other
00:37:22.00\00:37:26.84
one but he said,
every temptation,
00:37:26.87\00:37:28.56
every opposing influence,
whether open or secret
00:37:28.59\00:37:33.28
will successfully
resisted. You wanna gain victory
00:37:33.31\00:37:38.06
through the power of
the Holy Spirit there are
00:37:38.82\00:37:41.06
conditions, we
confess our sins here we turn
00:37:41.09\00:37:45.09
from those thing,
we claim his promises,
00:37:45.12\00:37:46.84
every temptation, think
about it, every opposing
00:37:46.87\00:37:52.56
influence and oh
there are so many opposing
00:37:52.59\00:37:54.74
influences in the world
today. So many things out
00:37:54.77\00:37:58.12
to try to stop the
calls of God and it says here
00:37:58.15\00:38:00.81
whether open whether
we realize it or not or
00:38:00.84\00:38:03.13
whether these
opposing things are in secret.
00:38:03.16\00:38:05.80
It's clear that they
maybe successfully resisted
00:38:06.70\00:38:10.52
through the power of
the Spirit of God because
00:38:10.55\00:38:13.00
he said I will fight
your battles for you.
00:38:13.03\00:38:14.88
You see this is
exciting, why is there so much
00:38:15.74\00:38:19.31
defeat, so much
sorrow, so much gloom and doom
00:38:19.34\00:38:23.42
and again I say
defeat over and over in the
00:38:23.45\00:38:26.13
movement of God is
because we're not claiming
00:38:26.16\00:38:28.34
the promises of God
we're not coming him with
00:38:28.37\00:38:30.84
a contrite heart, we're
not coming in with subdued
00:38:30.87\00:38:34.52
heart, we're not
willing to be taught,
00:38:34.55\00:38:36.39
we're not will
to change our life,
00:38:36.42\00:38:38.00
we're not willing to
come to him and say God
00:38:38.03\00:38:39.65
whatever it takes. Oh!
Friend, as you read the
00:38:39.68\00:38:43.29
promises of God, oh
go, go immediately to the
00:38:43.32\00:38:47.57
throne room, don't
wait till the evening,
00:38:47.60\00:38:49.05
go to the throne room
boldly because of who,
00:38:49.08\00:38:50.86
who he is, run out to
the highways and byways
00:38:50.89\00:38:54.55
and tell other people
they say, I can't resist
00:38:54.58\00:38:56.54
this temptation, oh this
thing overtakes me every,
00:38:56.57\00:38:59.37
time doesn't have
to. You never have to be
00:38:59.40\00:39:03.39
defeated is a
choice, you can choose God,
00:39:03.42\00:39:08.28
you can choose his
companionship in that
00:39:08.31\00:39:13.11
Holy Spirit dear
friends, I'm telling is gonna,
00:39:13.14\00:39:14.78
is coming in great
measure, I sense it now,
00:39:14.81\00:39:16.85
I see it in
peoples lives and God said.
00:39:16.88\00:39:19.04
This work is going to end
with greater manifestation
00:39:19.53\00:39:21.86
than in the beginning
is what we're studying
00:39:21.89\00:39:24.84
here oh! It's
awesome to me, in fact by the
00:39:24.87\00:39:28.15
way you still have your
Bible out keep it going,
00:39:28.18\00:39:29.73
we got some little
bit time left here,
00:39:29.76\00:39:31.49
I want this to be such
an encouragement to you
00:39:31.52\00:39:33.92
that you know you
exercise faith and know
00:39:34.96\00:39:37.26
that God's gonna
fill you with that Spirit,
00:39:37.29\00:39:39.04
God's gonna use you
for his honor and for
00:39:39.07\00:39:41.71
his glory. Bible
says in Acts chapter 2
00:39:41.74\00:39:44.32
verse 21: whosoever
shall call upon the name
00:39:44.35\00:39:48.88
of the Lord shall be
saved. See that's a promise,
00:39:48.91\00:39:54.04
it doesn't give a
whole lot dos and don'ts and
00:39:55.29\00:39:57.00
so on and so forth,
but it starts out like this
00:39:57.03\00:39:59.35
if you call upon
the name of the Lord,
00:39:59.38\00:40:01.49
when you call upon
the name of the Lord.
00:40:01.52\00:40:02.80
You're ready for a
change in your life, some
00:40:02.83\00:40:04.45
of your are too proud,
some of you stiff necks,
00:40:05.03\00:40:07.85
some of you don't
want that really change but
00:40:07.88\00:40:09.52
yet in your
heart you kind of do,
00:40:09.55\00:40:11.03
you don't know
what to do where to go
00:40:11.06\00:40:12.70
and so you do nothing.
Oh! Friend, I encourage you,
00:40:12.73\00:40:15.72
do something, do
something and God's gonna
00:40:15.75\00:40:18.97
direct your path
because he promised to,
00:40:19.00\00:40:21.35
call upon the name of
the Lord and the Bible says
00:40:21.38\00:40:24.14
you shall be what?
You shall be saved,
00:40:24.17\00:40:26.43
this is what it's
about. You say well I'm not
00:40:26.46\00:40:30.98
so sure listen if
you're looking at that Bible
00:40:31.01\00:40:33.07
in First Timothy
chapter 2 verses 3 and 4 listen
00:40:33.10\00:40:37.57
to these precious little words.
00:40:37.60\00:40:39.04
We're talking about
God here who would have
00:40:40.64\00:40:43.07
all men to be
saved, oh! Friend, God's
00:40:43.10\00:40:47.24
desire for you today
right now this moment,
00:40:47.27\00:40:53.09
he wants to save you.
That's what the Bible says,
00:40:54.00\00:40:57.04
God's desire is to what,
is for all men to be saved,
00:40:57.07\00:41:02.55
this is what he wants,
this is what he enabling us
00:41:02.58\00:41:05.97
to do through his
merits and through his strength
00:41:06.00\00:41:09.13
and through his
what? The cross of Calvary
00:41:09.16\00:41:11.87
it's yours it's mine, 1
Corinthians 15 by the way
00:41:12.89\00:41:17.45
verses 1 and 2 as
we continue to cry out
00:41:17.48\00:41:21.13
for this power.
Recognizing that we need it,
00:41:21.16\00:41:23.70
that we wanted in our
life, notice this passage
00:41:23.73\00:41:26.47
it says: Moreover and
Paul speaking moreover,
00:41:27.16\00:41:29.31
my brethren, I
declare unto you the gospel.
00:41:29.34\00:41:32.52
Friend sometime we
forget that beautiful gospel
00:41:34.12\00:41:35.68
of Jesus Christ, he sad
the gospel that I preached
00:41:35.71\00:41:38.83
unto you, it's a
good example we need to
00:41:38.86\00:41:40.88
preaching Jesus
Christ and him crucified.
00:41:40.91\00:41:43.34
He said which you
have also received,
00:41:45.43\00:41:47.79
and wherein ye stand;
verse 2 says notice By
00:41:47.82\00:41:52.41
which also ye are
saved, notice the word if
00:41:52.44\00:41:56.58
you keep in memory
what I preached unto you,
00:41:56.61\00:41:59.62
unless ye have
believed in vain. I
00:41:59.65\00:42:03.54
thought how exciting
that is passage of scripture
00:42:04.45\00:42:07.34
sometime that we read
and then we just like oh!
00:42:07.37\00:42:09.59
Well, okay well, oh I
think I've got the point
00:42:09.62\00:42:11.55
oh study, get down
the end and begin to dig
00:42:11.58\00:42:14.62
a little bit deeper Paul
points out the importance
00:42:14.65\00:42:18.86
of what? Of the
gospel that he gave to them
00:42:18.89\00:42:21.65
and he said now remember
the gospel is so important
00:42:22.13\00:42:24.68
he said you believed it
and then you stand in it
00:42:24.71\00:42:27.27
and then you're
gonna be saved in it.
00:42:27.30\00:42:29.14
The gospel must be
preaching all the world as
00:42:31.35\00:42:33.89
a witness and
Jesus is going to come,
00:42:33.92\00:42:35.65
but we're gonna have to
stand in this thing. Oh!
00:42:35.68\00:42:38.41
Friend it's so important
today, it's so important
00:42:38.44\00:42:43.11
that we accept Jesus,
this gospel is preached
00:42:43.14\00:42:46.97
to every nation,
kindred, tongue and people.
00:42:47.00\00:42:48.95
And by the way the
gospel you know what
00:42:50.38\00:42:53.81
I call the gospel, it's
the good news. You like good
00:42:53.84\00:42:57.15
news that's a gospel we
need that gospel in that
00:42:57.18\00:43:00.67
good news there are
so many things involve
00:43:00.70\00:43:03.27
salvation, righteousness
thy faith in the gospel
00:43:03.30\00:43:09.08
we realize that Jesus
came and he lived and he
00:43:09.11\00:43:11.07
lead that
victorious life and he died,
00:43:11.10\00:43:13.45
he was berried but he
rose again part of the gospel
00:43:13.48\00:43:17.16
of Jesus Christ we read
scriptures and it say he
00:43:17.19\00:43:19.83
sits on the what. On the
right hand of the Father,
00:43:19.86\00:43:21.83
he's the mediator
of the better covenant.
00:43:21.86\00:43:24.00
He's our high priest and
he promises to come again,
00:43:24.03\00:43:27.15
this is a gospel.
People need to know that Jesus
00:43:27.18\00:43:31.36
is coming back, we
need to know that we have
00:43:31.39\00:43:33.56
a mediator, we have
to know that we have help
00:43:33.59\00:43:36.76
in our time of need.
We need to know that one
00:43:36.79\00:43:40.00
stands between us and
the Father and pleased
00:43:40.03\00:43:42.17
his blood that's
good news we need to. Six
00:43:42.20\00:43:45.77
testimonies 291, by the
way, another little book
00:43:46.67\00:43:49.68
I'm gleaming some
beautiful things out and
00:43:49.71\00:43:52.32
hope you've been
studying too keep it up.
00:43:52.35\00:43:54.65
It says: The truth
for this time embraces the
00:43:55.88\00:43:58.36
whole gospel. The truth
this time embraces what?
00:43:58.39\00:44:01.79
The whole gospel, what
is that whole gospel, now
00:44:02.98\00:44:05.54
rightly presented it
will make evident the power
00:44:06.17\00:44:10.06
of God's grace, do
you need more power,
00:44:10.09\00:44:13.27
do you want that
power, you desiring it today,
00:44:13.30\00:44:15.37
it deals with what the
gospel, plan of salvation
00:44:16.72\00:44:20.32
here upon the heart, it
said: It will do a complete
00:44:20.35\00:44:24.22
work and develop a
complete man. Friend,
00:44:24.25\00:44:30.51
you realize we need to
be complete in Jesus Christ,
00:44:30.54\00:44:33.54
complete in him, that's
the plan that God has for
00:44:35.26\00:44:39.49
us if you don't
believe that read with me in
00:44:39.52\00:44:42.38
Colossians chapter 4
verse 12 he says we're going
00:44:42.41\00:44:45.68
to be perfect and
complete in all the will of God,
00:44:45.71\00:44:50.52
what perfect and
complete in all the will of God.
00:44:50.55\00:44:54.69
So, we have no
excuse, you say well I,
00:44:55.43\00:44:59.36
I don't know about being
perfect in him Bible says
00:44:59.39\00:45:01.80
first blade then the
ear the four corn in every
00:45:01.83\00:45:04.46
stage it's
perfective even though we have a
00:45:04.49\00:45:07.34
time you know reach
to the, to the full corn
00:45:07.37\00:45:09.81
we just still be living
after the light that God
00:45:11.73\00:45:13.25
is given when we
praying for that, that power
00:45:13.28\00:45:15.22
that God wants to give
us. In order to develop
00:45:15.25\00:45:19.42
that complete man
we have to die daily.
00:45:19.45\00:45:23.33
Friend are you willing
to die daily to yourself the
00:45:24.84\00:45:27.13
biggest battle that
you're gonna ever fight
00:45:27.16\00:45:28.79
as yourself. Quit
blaming the preacher,
00:45:28.82\00:45:30.88
quit blaming the
church, quit blaming one another
00:45:30.91\00:45:34.17
look at yourself, look
in the mirror there is your
00:45:34.83\00:45:37.10
problem. Here's my
problem, every sin goes traces
00:45:37.13\00:45:42.91
back to I want, I need,
you remember the devil said,
00:45:42.94\00:45:49.40
I will ascend, do
you remember that, I will
00:45:49.96\00:45:51.94
be like the most
high. Today we you some
00:45:52.96\00:45:57.69
of the same words,
same thoughts from the enemy
00:45:57.72\00:46:04.75
aren't they? But Jesus
said Kenny you're gonna
00:46:04.78\00:46:07.12
have to die daily, 1
Corinthians 15:31 you
00:46:07.15\00:46:12.28
don't have time to
go into all but you read
00:46:12.31\00:46:14.31
that when you have
the opportunity because
00:46:14.34\00:46:16.10
it talks about we
need to die daily.
00:46:16.13\00:46:18.15
Standing, the Bible says
we've to stand in the word,
00:46:20.26\00:46:23.78
we have to receive
the word, if you want the
00:46:23.81\00:46:26.44
Spirit and you say I
need that Spirit then we
00:46:26.47\00:46:28.67
must be willing
to receive that word.
00:46:28.70\00:46:31.04
Now, think about
it, you have your Bibles
00:46:31.07\00:46:35.21
I want you to turn we
still have a few minutes
00:46:35.24\00:46:37.40
left now I want you turn
to the Old Testament this
00:46:37.43\00:46:39.29
is very, very important
here, in the Old Testament
00:46:39.88\00:46:42.44
we're going to look
at Proverbs chapter 2,
00:46:42.47\00:46:44.38
I wanna do this from my Bible,
00:46:45.03\00:46:47.32
I wanna be read this, I
don't want you to miss it.
00:46:47.35\00:46:50.32
Proverbs chapter 2,

00:46:55.72\00:46:57.96
This will tell you
exactly how you can receive
00:46:58.99\00:47:01.95

00:47:05.58\00:47:08.64
Proverbs chapter 2 go
ahead and start reading
00:47:09.35\00:47:11.38
verses 1 through 5
notice the Bible says he said:
00:47:11.41\00:47:14.75
My son, if thou
wilt receive my words,
00:47:14.78\00:47:18.61
and hide my
commandments with thee. So,
00:47:18.64\00:47:22.02
that thou incline
thine ear unto wisdom,
00:47:22.05\00:47:25.28
notice this and apply
thine heart to understanding.
00:47:25.31\00:47:29.02
Yea, if thou
criest after knowledge,
00:47:29.88\00:47:32.00
and lifted up the
voice for understanding.
00:47:32.72\00:47:35.59
If thou seekest her
as silver the Bible says,
00:47:36.60\00:47:40.16
search for her as
for hidden treasures.
00:47:40.70\00:47:43.50
Then shall thou
understand the fear of the Lord,
00:47:43.76\00:47:47.43
and find the knowledge of
God. You see how important
00:47:47.46\00:47:51.40
what is listed in here
if we had a whole lot more
00:47:51.43\00:47:53.63
time we could do it,
just go back and start picking
00:47:53.66\00:47:56.26
out the most important
words lets do that just
00:47:56.29\00:47:58.37
quickly as we can I
would love to look up passages
00:47:58.40\00:48:00.40
on everyone of this.
I have got them up here,
00:48:00.43\00:48:02.44
don't have time to
present them but notice the
00:48:03.57\00:48:04.86
Bible says here that
we need to first do what?
00:48:04.89\00:48:07.00
Receive his word,
record in Matthew 4:4 you
00:48:07.55\00:48:11.47
remember receive what?
Every word that proceeds
00:48:11.50\00:48:13.55
out of the mouth of
God, do you remember that
00:48:13.58\00:48:15.78
you say well yeah
that's the word you mean that
00:48:16.76\00:48:18.04
the written word,
oh! John chapter 1,
00:48:18.07\00:48:20.40
you remember verse 1
in the beginning was what?
00:48:20.43\00:48:22.88
Good the word right,
the word was made flesh,
00:48:23.40\00:48:25.31
and dwelt among
us, is that it. The
00:48:25.34\00:48:26.68
word Jesus Christ,
friend have you accepted him,
00:48:27.99\00:48:32.70
he's the word, he's life,
so we must do what receive,
00:48:32.73\00:48:40.05
you've to receive
his word if you want this
00:48:40.08\00:48:41.96
real power. Are you
receiving the word of God
00:48:41.99\00:48:44.15
today and here it says,
here that we have to hide
00:48:44.18\00:48:48.87
the commandments within
what? Within our hearts,
00:48:48.90\00:48:53.11
I mean you're already
close by so let me just do
00:48:54.00\00:48:55.87
that shall we in
Psalms 119, Psalms 119:11 oh
00:48:55.90\00:49:00.76
this is powerful,
Psalms 119 verse 11 it says:
00:49:00.79\00:49:06.37
Thy word have I what?
Good, hid in my heart that
00:49:06.40\00:49:09.54
I might not do what? I
might not sin against thee.
00:49:09.57\00:49:13.23
So, we hid the word of
God where? In our heart,
00:49:14.04\00:49:16.11
remember there are
conditions upon receiving
00:49:17.11\00:49:18.88
the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit well that being
00:49:19.17\00:49:21.64
lead by the Spirit
and we have to be able
00:49:21.67\00:49:23.91
to receive his word.
And he said I hide the
00:49:23.94\00:49:27.90
word of God where in my heart,
00:49:27.93\00:49:29.24
I put his commandments
in my heart oh friend
00:49:30.67\00:49:33.63
we have time would
read a lot more but
00:49:33.66\00:49:34.77
you know what it
says also in that we read
00:49:34.80\00:49:36.64
that you have to
incline your ear.
00:49:36.67\00:49:38.46
You have to be willing to
listen to the word of God,
00:49:39.91\00:49:43.05
think about willing to do what?
00:49:44.79\00:49:45.76
To take your ears and
listen to the word of God,
00:49:46.09\00:49:48.68
you say well I'm not
sure of that but I put my
00:49:49.71\00:49:51.09
finger right here I'm
gonna turn to the book
00:49:51.12\00:49:52.38
of Romans I wants
you to do the same thing
00:49:52.41\00:49:54.77
while you're there. In
the book of Romans previous
00:49:54.80\00:49:59.43
chapter 10 verse
17, Romans chapter 10
00:49:59.46\00:50:02.81
verse 17 the Bible
says: So faith comes by what?
00:50:02.84\00:50:06.71
Hearing and hearing
by the word of God, you
00:50:07.18\00:50:09.71
see how important it is
that we incline our ear,
00:50:10.38\00:50:12.71
incline our ear to
what? God said he wants us
00:50:13.45\00:50:14.98
to have what?
Wisdom and we need to apply
00:50:15.01\00:50:17.38
our hearts to
understanding the Bible
00:50:17.41\00:50:20.26
all these I'm talking
about here we just read
00:50:20.29\00:50:22.44
in Proverbs 2:1 through
5 but these are conditions
00:50:22.98\00:50:27.07
in order to
receive that victory.
00:50:27.10\00:50:28.83
In order to receive that power,
00:50:28.86\00:50:30.40
to get the church on
the move, the way that
00:50:30.43\00:50:32.51
it needs to be
on the move today.
00:50:32.54\00:50:33.80
We need to apply
our heart to what?
00:50:34.33\00:50:35.90
To understanding the
Bible said, Proverbs 3:5
00:50:36.38\00:50:38.78
read that when you
get an opportunity.
00:50:38.81\00:50:40.17
We need to seek the
word as for hidden treasure
00:50:40.72\00:50:42.52
the Bible says notice
that and it says: This is
00:50:42.55\00:50:45.04
the fear of God by the
way Three Angels message
00:50:45.07\00:50:50.16
isn't it? Fear God and
give glory to him for the hour
00:50:50.19\00:50:53.68
of his judgment
has come, fear God,
00:50:53.71\00:50:55.02
this is the fear of
God. Friend, we live in such
00:50:55.05\00:50:58.82
an hour that we need to
00:50:58.85\00:50:59.98
realize that Jesus is coming,
00:51:00.01\00:51:01.91
we need to be making
the changes that we need
00:51:02.85\00:51:04.46
to make, need to be
making them today not
00:51:04.49\00:51:05.95
later on. And so the
Bible says that we need
00:51:05.98\00:51:09.44
to receive it and
we need to stand in it.
00:51:09.47\00:51:11.80
Friend, how long has
it been since you've been
00:51:13.85\00:51:15.56
standing in the word.
I like that songs says
00:51:15.59\00:51:18.52
standing on the promises of God,
00:51:18.55\00:51:20.35
how about you? Oh! I'm
standing on those promises
00:51:20.38\00:51:23.47
I like the song
that says stand up,
00:51:24.65\00:51:26.04
stand up for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross,
00:51:26.07\00:51:29.26
God never ask us to
be seated as a Christian
00:51:30.70\00:51:32.68
he always said stand
get up, get up on your feet,
00:51:32.71\00:51:35.22
get ready to move. By
the way Romans 11:20 says
00:51:35.25\00:51:39.75
we stand by what? We
stand by our faith did
00:51:39.78\00:51:42.52
you notice that,
Galatians 5:1 says:
00:51:42.55\00:51:45.57
Stand fast
therefore in what? Liberty,
00:51:45.90\00:51:48.43
notice the words
talking about standing.
00:51:48.46\00:51:50.93
Ephesians 6:11 the
Bible says: Stand against
00:51:51.98\00:51:54.90
the wiles of the
devil, fight him,
00:51:54.93\00:51:57.13
Stand against the
wiles of the what?
00:51:57.92\00:51:59.31
Against the wiles of
the devil. Colossians 4:12:
00:51:59.34\00:52:03.16
That you may stand,
stand perfect and complete
00:52:03.19\00:52:05.97
in him. Romans 15
verse 2: stand one of these
00:52:06.00\00:52:09.90
days we're gonna be
able to stand on the what?
00:52:09.93\00:52:12.03
On the sea of
glass, Colossians 1 by the
00:52:12.06\00:52:16.54
way 23 says: If you
what? Condition "If ye
00:52:16.57\00:52:19.30
continue in the faith
grounded and settled."
00:52:19.99\00:52:24.82
We have very few
peoples seem to be grounded
00:52:25.42\00:52:26.97
and settled in the
truth anymore its wishy-washy,
00:52:27.00\00:52:29.74
bloom by every wind of doctrine.
00:52:29.77\00:52:31.08
Because we do not
know the word of God,
00:52:32.43\00:52:34.02
we shall not be
moved away from the hope
00:52:34.69\00:52:36.97
of the gospel which
you've heard. Friend,
00:52:37.00\00:52:40.01
I'm telling you this is
an hour in which we live,
00:52:40.04\00:52:42.36
God says you know
what I want people
00:52:43.00\00:52:44.69
with sound-minds, I
want people who have sound
00:52:44.72\00:52:46.97
words, I want you to
be sound in the faith,
00:52:47.00\00:52:49.22
I want you to have
sound speech the Bible says
00:52:49.25\00:52:51.81
and to have this
sound mind is in Philippians
00:52:52.44\00:52:54.44
2:5 Is to what? Is to
have the mind of Jesus Christ,
00:52:54.47\00:52:57.66
we live in a crooked and
perverse world by the way,
00:53:00.87\00:53:04.21
but we need to hold fast
to the word of God right now.
00:53:04.52\00:53:06.80
Why because we're
looking for Jesus to come,
00:53:07.98\00:53:09.43
he's the author and
finish by the way of our Faith.
00:53:09.46\00:53:11.94
I need to be exciting
glad, I need to delight
00:53:12.62\00:53:14.42
in his word. I need
to be living for him,
00:53:14.45\00:53:16.56
doing something for
Jesus. And let me encourage
00:53:16.59\00:53:19.03
you as you commit your
soul to Jesus right now.
00:53:19.06\00:53:20.99
You commit your
life to him right now,
00:53:21.77\00:53:23.24
there's gonna be
power that comes over you.
00:53:23.27\00:53:25.33
That maybe you've
never experience before.
00:53:25.79\00:53:27.51
Why because you can
have a powerful influence
00:53:30.04\00:53:32.19
as you let Jesus
come in the power of God,
00:53:32.22\00:53:34.06
that Spirit of power
will convict your soul.
00:53:36.41\00:53:38.61
Enable you to lead
other souls to Jesus Christ,
00:53:39.54\00:53:41.98
to be a soul winner;
this is what it's all
00:53:42.01\00:53:44.61
about. By the way don't
wait until it's too late,
00:53:45.71\00:53:48.56
don't wait till the
last moment let me just share
00:53:48.59\00:53:51.39
little small story with
you as I think is so, so very,
00:53:51.42\00:53:54.55
very important and
some of you will relate
00:53:54.58\00:53:58.22
to this and
others you won't get it,
00:53:58.25\00:53:59.31
but you know he has a
great baseball player,
00:53:59.34\00:54:01.92
his name was Ty
Cobb and man what a ball
00:54:01.95\00:54:05.33
player he was. He
played over 3000 games by
00:54:05.36\00:54:08.91
the way and for 12
years he led the American lead
00:54:08.94\00:54:13.36
in batting average and
for four of those years
00:54:13.39\00:54:17.10
listen he batted over
four hundred that's amazing.
00:54:17.13\00:54:20.77
But on his death
bed, it was July the 17 in
00:54:23.34\00:54:28.03
1961 this man of baseball
that people in the sports
00:54:28.06\00:54:33.59
world followed
after him and said how a
00:54:33.62\00:54:36.84
great man that he
was on his death bed.
00:54:36.87\00:54:40.05
He accepted Jesus
Christ as his Lord and Savior,
00:54:41.02\00:54:43.69
but please take
note of these words,
00:54:44.87\00:54:46.19
he said tell the boys I'm sorry,
00:54:47.18\00:54:52.05
tell the boys I'm
sorry. It was the last part
00:54:53.70\00:54:58.82
of the 9th inning
that I came to know Christ,
00:55:00.22\00:55:04.08
oh I wish it had been
taken place in first half
00:55:06.29\00:55:12.58
of first inning.
Friend, don't let that be said
00:55:13.91\00:55:17.14
about you, look at all
that you can do for Jesus.
00:55:17.17\00:55:20.63
If you're filled with
that power, if you desire
00:55:22.77\00:55:24.49
that power in you, in
your life don't wait till the
00:55:24.52\00:55:28.02
death bed. Why not
make that decision and
00:55:28.05\00:55:31.83
that choice right now
for him. Please do that
00:55:31.86\00:55:36.18
right now, he wants to use you,
00:55:36.21\00:55:38.24
say God I want
this, I want this power
00:55:38.27\00:55:41.04
I need this power and
you know what you're gonna
00:55:42.14\00:55:47.57
send that power to
them. All we have to do
00:55:47.60\00:55:49.86
is ask right now in
the name of Jesus and it's
00:55:49.89\00:55:52.82
going to be so, by the
way while you're making
00:55:52.85\00:55:56.22
that decision right
now, why don't we pray about
00:55:56.25\00:55:58.82
it in our last few
moments that we have right here.
00:55:58.85\00:56:00.83
Don't delay and by
the way when you make that
00:56:01.42\00:56:03.22
decision be nice to
let us know that we can be
00:56:03.25\00:56:05.21

Right now you
recognize that there is need
00:56:10.65\00:56:11.86
for this Holy Spirit
power. Now, you're calling on
00:56:11.89\00:56:14.34

come into your heart,
00:56:14.37\00:56:15.71

would have all men to be saved
00:56:44.33\00:56:46.50

There are three more
in these series to look
00:57:14.21\00:57:16.28
forward to, the next
is preparation to receive
00:57:16.31\00:57:20.05
that power followed by
how we receive that power,
00:57:20.08\00:57:24.47
we need to know how to
receive the power of God
00:57:24.50\00:57:26.85

the power don't you wanna
00:57:26.88\00:57:30.56
be a witness for
Jesus and you wanna witness
00:57:30.59\00:57:33.84
with the power of the
Holy Spirit you know we can
00:57:33.87\00:57:36.39
know all truth, we can
say all the right things but
00:57:36.42\00:57:40.38
without God's Spirit
to bless and to give power
00:57:40.41\00:57:44.48
