the influence the voice and the instrument and vessels of revival you've called us to be so we step into it in jesus name amen well give god a shout of praise amen hallelujah [Applause] thank you father now joseph had no no has no clue what i'm preaching tonight all the lord told me was to tell him yesterday i don't know how to when i went to your office lord said just just be ready okay so i was like all right and uh i mean you you'll you see me flow in different veins from time to time as a pastor sometimes i can preach with a prophetic edge or i can preach in different ways but um like it's not like deborah and joseph and eric they've you know it's you know they say you you when you're in africa you flow a little different than you do at home don't don't i it's like i'm a little different when i'm in africa than when i'm here because i'm more apostolic when i go to africa and i'm more just like okay you do this and then you do that or we were in the service and we had to like we had like another surface to go we had to change everything up and and and like okay no okay i want you to play a rap song and i want you to dance and then dwarf i want you to sing this and and just things are just just this changes just what the spirit of god is doing so so so you you may in the next within now and the end of the year especially wednesday nights we'll be talking about some things and we're gonna have different ministers speak on different things but we've been dealing with living uncommon um all you know all year on wednesday nights and so between now and the end of the year we're gonna be talking about i'm gonna talk about night being full of the spirit and i'm going to go into just the beginning of the gifts of the spirit and so between now and the end of the the year we'll be talking about whether it's a gift of the spirit or we'll be talking about a fruit of the spirit you know a lot of times we can we can focus on gifts but not understand not understand fruit you know you know some of you heard me say this you know if we we look at the high priest garment in the old testament and then you look at jesus being being our high priest and you look at part of the garment that the pr high priest had and part of that and sometimes you see things in the scripture and they may not make sense and well why god why did they make the garment that way and what's significant about that garment well it's interesting that on the high priest garment just part of it was a pomegranate and a bell a pomegranate and a bell a pomegranate and a bell so here you had a fruit and you had a bell a fruit and a bell a fruit and belt and this is around the entire high priest's garment what was that for because because we have to we have to understand that the the fruit is the fruit of the spirit and the bells represented the gifts of the spirit and if now now get this if you if you have bells and a and a fruit not in between it then you what you become is just a tinkling symbol and a crashing symbol and if you look at if you look at first corinthians chapter 12 13 and 14 what is chapter chapter 12 is about gifts what's chapter 13 about what love and what is chapter 14 about gifts so we understand that we can we can we we have a desire to operate in the gifts but you will never operate in the fullness of the gifts apart from the fullness of the fruit of the spirit jesus operated in maximum power and maximum authority not just because he was anointed but he also understood the fruit of the spirit he was moved with compassion and therefore he healed the sick see and so often we can talk about things we can see and we can talk about you know words of wisdom words of knowledge working in miracles revelation gifts speaking gifts power gifts and we'll get into all the different types of gifts that there are but understanding that those are going to flow through the vessel that is also operating in the fruit of the spirit and so these are important so so it's going to be a lot of teaching over the weeks to come on wednesday night and and so i'm just going to kind of lay a foundation here and it's interesting you know you know joseph you know he pretty much quoted you know five verses from john chapter 14 in my very first verse with john 14 in those same verses so i don't need to read that now so praise the lord so let's go to luke chapter 24. and and i believe also in as we teach this i believe that signs and wonders follow the word preached and so i'm believing as we go through the weeks what you were seeing in in what was just happening with joseph and air i didn't know eric i did i didn't know i was going to call erica or anything like that so so what you're going to see you're going to see some demonstrations and may even have you activate some of the gifts as well so be ready that doesn't mean that i'm going to stay home because i watch online because i don't want pastor justin to call on me you know i think you think of a story of um dr savelle and brother copeland and and uh this was when he was they had drove it driven for droven they had driven from let me get to luke chapter 24 and i'm trying to talk and um i remember the doctors about telling a story when they drove from shreveport and to grace temple to overall five i think it's close to campus drive is back there where the grace temple was now it's another church and and so they went and they pretty much stayed in the parking lot and they would be early to the meetings and they'd hear brother copeland preach and and and then so one day they um they were out there and the brother comes so why don't you you know want you to come home with us after a sunday service we'll go get something to eat and they're like do you have any plans and they're like well um no so we'll go home with you and and so we had some questions to brother copeland and said you know you know i see these things in the word and can you you know i'm i'm desiring the gifts of the spirit so so they they have that conversation brother copeland talks to him about a few things and and then they come to the service that night and and brother uh brother jerry's kind of sitting on the side here where pastor phil is and and and so brother copeland is standing up there and um and i can't remember if it was it was a message in tongues or or something or um or what exactly it was but um he said brother jerry stand up or he said jerry stand up he goes the lord's given you something i want you to speak it out he's like no no no come on come on and he walks up now now jerry it's it's right on the inside of you and if you just just release your mouth you're gonna you're gonna speak something and and it's just going to come out of you and he's like no and i don't know how long that went on but brother jerry kept saying no you know and and brother copeland trying to coach him you know hey yeah just just do that just step out it's you it's it's on the inside of you and and and and brother says no and and so and so come to find out so brother copeland said okay well i'm gonna give i'm gonna give what the lord wants to give and and he gave it and as he was brother copeland was speaking it brother jerry knew every word before brother copeland said it and why because of fear he didn't want to step out how many times are do are we god's wanting to do something amazing maybe in a church service or at walmart gifts of the spirit aren't just for for the church they're for the believer to operate yeah the gifts of the spirit yes it's to increase the body it says that the body would profit and pastor phil we're talking to talk about that next week but but i i want to just lay a foundation because we're called to be filled with the spirit and that just we're not filled with the spirit just to say we're charismatic so luke 24 verse 49 says and behold i will send forth upon you what my father has promised but remain in the city until you're clothed with power from on high so here here jesus has come back jesus has died for their sins but he tells them i i i you have a great commission he's given them a great commission they've been given an assignment but he says don't go on the assignment until you're closed with power from on high meaning meaning you have an assignment on your life but don't step into that assignment until you got the cloak right close on and i want you to know that you have an assignment on your life and god has prepared and made ready a garment of his power and his ability to help you fulfill that assignment on your life he said you've got to go to jerusalem in in john chapter 16 uh you know he says expedient that i go away it's advantageous for you that i leave here because if i don't go then the spirit of god can't come and you need what i'm about to give you you you got to have this you gots to have this this is this need this is exp this is advantageous for you so so understanding this this is a gift that gives me the advantage deborah in mark chapter 11 it says this he goes if you being an evil man or a natural man know how to give good gifts unto your children how much more would the heavenly father give the gift of the holy spirit so it takes an evil man that wants to give a good gift and that work good gift means a treasure that exceeds so as a natural father i want to give a treasure that exceeds to my children and i'm just a natural person how much more would the heavenly father give the gift of the holy spirit which is a treasure that exceeds go to acts chapter 1 acts chapter 1 holy spirit help me deliver this so i've got like three pages of notes and i just yeah acts chapter 1 verse 8 but you shall receive power after the holy ghost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me unto me both in jerusalem and judea and in samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth the amplified says but you shall receive power i love this ability and might when the holy spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in jerusalem and all judea and samaria and to the ends of the very bounds of the earth you're going to be my witnesses what does a witness do a witness testifies to something it tests a you know a witness if you are a witness in a court case your your per your part of evidence so here it says this power of the holy spirit is going to become upon you and you are going to be witnesses so that empowerment on your life is going to be evidence for people in jerusalem judea and the uttermost parts of the earth so when this is spoken this is this is understandable as this was spoken we're talking about uttermost part this means everywhere that that deborah this power of the holy spirit is going to cause me to be evidenced in everywhere i go not just in church on sunday morning or wednesday night given power to be a witness so that so with that power on my life it should change my life like i said being spirit-filled just doesn't isn't i don't wear that label because it's the kind of church i go to or to be charismatic no i'm spirit-filled therefore his spirit embodies my life and because his spirit embodies bodies in my life i am now evidence to everyone i come in contact with you're a witness your evidence your evidence so if the spirit of god is on my life there should be evidences of the spirit of god on my life i'm so grateful that i'm not the same way i was after i got born again in 1993 that doesn't mean i was perfect the next day or been perfect since then but realizing because of the work of the spirit of god on my life i am now evidence of the power of god i'm evidence of the spirit of god we have to understand that the the holy spirit the the the the infilling of the spirit is the difference maker on a believer's life we see the spirit of god coming upon samson we see the spirit of god coming upon elisha elijah in first samuel chapter 10 verse 6 we see where the spirit of god came came upon samuel and said he would was turned into another man meaning meaning there was evidence when the spirit of god touched his life see there has to be evidence that the spirit of god is on your life on this church because the spirit of god is a difference made the spirit of god was a difference maker in creation it was a difference maker you and i were just a ball of dirt until jesus and until god breathed the breath of life into adam so the spirit of god breathing into adam made the difference and the spirit of god will be the difference maker on your life as it pertains to any area of your life first samuel 16 verse 13 if you're just taking notes you can just make note of that in the message it says samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him with his brother standing around watching and the spirit of god entered david like a rush of wind and god vitally empowered him for the rest of his life whoa i want to read that again samuel took his flask of oil anointed him with his brother standing around watching and the spirit of god entered david like a rush of wind and god vitally empowered him for the rest of his life wow vitally empowered him we see that jesus was filled with the spirit we see in luke chapter 4 18 it said the spirit of the lord was upon him and because the spirit of lord was upon him he was able to preach see the the sometimes we look at this scripture in a different way the spirit of the lord was upon me because he anointed me to preach jesus didn't preach and then the anointing showed up the anointing was on him and because the anointing was on him he preached see the anointing was the ability the anointing was the empowerment the anointing was the difference maker without the spirit of the lord being upon jesus then he would have just been another religious philosopher but when the anointing was on him now he's not just releasing words he's releasing anointing because the spirit of god is the difference maker in acts 10 38 how god how how god anointed jesus christ of nazareth with what the holy ghost in power it wasn't just anointed with power it was anointed with holy ghost and power and because of that he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil without that empowerment it would be impossible for him to go about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil do you see he had to have the empowerment to do the rest of that scripture do you understand that he he had to have the anointing he had to have the fullness of the spirit on his life to do to to go about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil there's a lot of people in the world that that can do we can do good things but when you have the anointing and you're doing good things then you can heal all that are oppressed by the devil the anointing the fullness of the spirit is the difference maker on our lives and it's not just a church thing it's an everyday thing say this the fullness of the spirit of god is on my life and it is he is the difference maker hallelujah let's go to um acts chapter 13. i'm sorry acts chapter 4 first so we see it with we saw in the old testament we see it with jesus and we then we see it with the disciples there was there was written there was manifestations there was witness they became a witness when the spirit of god came upon their lives so much so that that even the world said things about the disciples what does it say in acts 4 verse 13 now when the boldness of peter and john now when they saw they they saw something now they here were unspiritual people the they uh here were natural people that they here were worldly people and it says now when they the worldly people they saw the boldness of peter and john and they perceived they saw that they were unlearned and ignorant men they marveled and they they took knowledge of them that they had been with jesus wow so now they're seeing something on them that was on this jesus that they were watching so now because of the fullness of the spirit on jesus and they saw qualities of jesus they saw the kindness of jesus the love of jesus the power of jesus the joy of jesus the peace of jesus they saw this and yet now they're seeing the qualities of the disciples and they're saying wow see they could tell who they've been hanging out with why because now jesus was a witness why because jesus produced evidence now they're seeing the disciples and they had quality so now the disciples are producing evidence so much they that they the only way they can describe it is we took knowledge that they've been with him they've been with jesus let me ask you a question who have you been with because you will be a witness to whoever who who you've been with so when you're with the fullness of the spirit you're with you're you're with the spirit of god you're with the word of god then it will be evidence all around you people will see those qualities in your life thank you father you can make note of acts 13 52 it said they were continually filled with joy in the holy spirit let's go to acts chapter 11. i didn't want you to have to turn to all these scriptures but so i'm just kind of just quoting some of them what i want you to see right now is is the spirit of god on their life caused them to be witnesses and the in the spirit of god on their life as being a witness was evidence for people to see now acts chapter 11 verse 23 in the amplified it says when he arrived and somewhat barnabas and saw that the grace of god was bestowed upon them he was full of joy and he continuously exhorted warned urged and encouraged them all to cleave unto and remain faithful to and devoted to the lord with steady purpose of heart now listen to this for he was a good man and this is barnabas that was sent out by the church of jerusalem after everyone's being scattered because of the stoning of stephen they send to antioch to see what's happening because they're seeing the works that took place in the very beginning are happening in antioch and so he shows up and he gives them this message for them to remain devoted to the lord but it says this at barnabas for he was a good man the amplified says good in himself and also at once for the good and the advantage of other people wow do people say that you're a good man a good woman not just in yourself but other people meaning there was evidence in barnabas life because of the fruit of because of the because of the fullness of the spirit in his life it says he was a good man then it was let's say full of and controlled by the holy spirit wow so barnabas wasn't just a good man but now we see that he was full and controlled by the holy spirit who's in control of you who's controlling your attitude who's controlling your responses who is controlling your love walk who's controlling your joy level your peace level your self-control level your how about your patience level he was full of controlled by the holy spirit and it says in full of faith i don't know about you but i want to i want to be like barnabas but this is this is this is being like jesus jesus was a good man jesus was full of and controlled by the holy spirit and jesus was full of faith so you see that we're seeing evidences that being filled with the spirit there's also evidence that people are going to see it in my life let's go to ephesians 5. i'm almost done my introduction ephesians 5. thank you father ephesians 5. look at verse 14 in the amplified it says therefore he says a waco sleeper and arise from the dead and christ shall shine upon you and give you light christ it didn't say no it's interesting it didn't say jesus christ you know it didn't say jesus christ will shine upon you it's just that's just the thought it's that christ shall shine upon you what is christ the anointing the anointing will shine upon you upon you and give you light then it says look carefully then how you walk so this light that's going to come upon me is now saying now i need to i need it's going to change how i walk this light shining and now i've got a i've got a light and what is the light do a light illuminates a pathway so with this light now i can i can look carefully how to walk and with this light now i can live purposefully and worthily and accurately not as the unwise and the witness but as the wise meaning so with this light that's shining upon me is going to cause me to have wisdom it's going to give me direction it's going to give me guidance do you see this and then it says this it says making the very most of the time buying up each opportunity because the days are evil meaning i'm going to need this light to shine in my life not just knowing what to which way to go what i'm going to need this light why because the days are evil and i mean we're living in some evil days right now if you haven't noticed so we need this light then verse 17 therefore don't be vague or thoughtless and foolish but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the lord is you know some people kind of well make prayers well lord what's your will for my life oh lord if you just what's your purpose for my life yeah there's there's an individual purpose you have but sometimes if you just just go to the word you'll you'll find you'll find what is this is it tells us exactly firmly grasp what the will of the lord is it's telling me to firmly grasp with the will of the lord what is the will of the lord i'm glad you asked the will of the lord is not to get drunk with wine that's not god's will for your life alcohol is not a will for your life it's not god's will for your life natural substances are not god's will for your life well doesn't the bible say a little wine is good for the stomach doesn't know please stop please stop some of you are so interested how far can i go and still get in it's like you're so focused on the wrong the the wrong boundary it's like seriously i mean they're mine the the will firmly grasp what the will of the lord is and the will of the lord is not for me to be drunk with wine but what be filled and stimulated with the holy spirit and we can continue to read but but understand what the will of the lord for my life is to be filled with the spirit be filled with the spirit i'm telling you the holy spirit jack daniels has nothing on the holy ghost i mean i couldn't make a whole list k1 has nothing if you don't mind that's synthetic weed if you know what k1 is but don't go to go search with k1 but the point is is to be continually filled with and don't ask how pastor knows those things okay you don't need to know the so how to be firmly grasped with the will the lord is it tells me here what the will the lord is it's not to be drunk with wine it's meaning my my focus shouldn't be inundated with natural things but my focus should be on being being filled with the spirit if you don't know what you know well lord what do you want me to do tomorrow if you don't know and you haven't heard exactly what you need to do hey be filled with the spirit and that's not it's be being filled meaning this is a continual thing i i already quoted acts 13 52 it says and they were continually filled with joy in the holy spirit continually filled with the holy spirit so you and i have to have this constant connection with heaven we need to constantly be plugged in to heaven where we're being filled up why because the days are evil and people need to see my light so that's my introduction let me ask you a question being filled with the spirit if we are going to be filled with the spirit that just doesn't mean like i said i'm labeled as a charismatic if i'm filled with the spirit that doesn't mean i may dance around or i may fall down when someone lays hands on me those are just these things that happen when the spirit of god comes upon someone's life but but if i'm actually filled with the spirit then i'm also filled with the fruit of the spirit you know so often people you know talk about we because we get our mind on like prophecy and healings and and when we should but but the point is is is how about the fruit of the spirit remember as i began we need the pomegranate and a bell a pomegranate and a bell if we don't have the the fruit in between then we're just that clanging symbol right that the end of first corinthians 13 talks about and so so here if i'm filled with the filled with the spirit then i'm also filled with the fruit of the spirit if i'm filled with the spirit then i'm also filled with the gifts of the spirit and i'm filled with the very thing that can cause me to act just like jesus think about it when we operate in the fruit of the spirit and we operate in the gifts of the spirit we're operating just like jesus wow what about you but i want to i want to be just like him i want to be just like my big brother wow and this is what we this is what living uncommon that we're stepping into and i believe it's going to propel some things in us as an entire church to grow in because this is this is important for us to you know be cultivating these these these gifts they're in you we just have to we have to learn to to yield to the gifts sometimes we try to do it up here instead of wait a minute this is the it's the gifts of the spirit it's the fruit of the spirit thank you father where do you want to go second time go to first corinthians 12 and um we'll get there in a minute i just want to bring out a couple other scriptures to you i am starting to close here without going to it john chapter 16 verse 8 talks about the holy spirit it says when he comes he will reprove the world of sin of righteousness and judgment that's a strong word the word reprove the word reprove is better defined as convince convince convince can be translated as to prove it means to reveal truth it means to show or means to open your eyes to so the holy spirit he came to open our eyes to sin open our eyes to righteousness and open our eyes to judgment i'll put justin's paraphrase on this the holy spirit came to convince or reveal or show god's sacrifice jesus convince the word of sin the holy spirit came to reveal to righteousness that's our identity and then holy spirit came to show judgment that means he came to show and reveal our victory god's judgment on satan also declared my victory so in this is why the holy the holy spirit is a revealer daniel uh i believe daniel chapter 4 verse 12 maybe i i think might be wrong i think i'm wrong it says it talks about the spirit of god and says the spirit of god is a revealer of truths and a revealer of secrets it is in daniel i believe it's a revealer of secrets so so yeah so now i just briefly because we talked about being full filled with the spirit and his fullness of my life should cause me to be a witness now i'm talking about it being filled with the spirit i'm also being filled with the fruit and the gifts but realizing the spirit of god is one that reveals things john 16 15 says the holy spirit this is my paraphrase the holy spirit's mode of operation is to convince or reveal now let me close with this first corinthians chapter 12. because so often we try to build things and i don't like me being a teacher i i don't like to just build things without a proper foundation i've seen through my 20-some years of being in the word of god and being in word of faith and hearing things i some people heard teachings that they shouldn't have heard yet for example i'm not making light of this teaching or saying this teaching's wrong but to me the message money cometh i believe it has some great foundational truths but without a foundational truth on prosperity you can get off you're talking about pulling the lever and and you're talking about believing for a fifteen thousand dollar dog but yet you can't pay for your socks and you know and and people get way off and and so you have to have a proper foundation on certain things and the same thing with the gifts of the spirit we have to have a proper foundation on things and and and so and so that's my heart as a teacher is to make sure we have we have a right a right foundation so so i'm making not making light of that teaching please hear me i'm just saying it's it it's not if you don't have a foundation in things you you may not be ready for that and it may be yeah you know people start trying to it's where people get into foolishness and presumption and i mean fred price you can go back and read any of fred price's books on faith foolishness and presumption it's amazing teachings and and i've seen a lot of people get off in the body of christ because they heard teachings that were meant for people that were in the deep end of the pool and they were they people were just stepping in so that's my i guess my own opinion i guess but because i care about people because i'm a pastor i care about people and i've seen people hurt so first corinthians 12 and i'm just going to deal with this first scripture i believe it says now concerning spiritual gifts brethren i would not have you ignorant now concerning spiritual gifts i would not have you ignorant but paul here is saying i don't want you to be ignorant about these spiritual gifts this this definition for ignorant there's three different definitions in the way paul can use this one is paul is saying i don't want you lacking any knowledge when it comes to the gifts of the spirit he's saying beca be saying i don't want you ignorant he said because you don't understand i don't want you paul is also saying because you don't understand don't ignore these gifts see sometimes we can ignore things we don't we don't we don't understand and so paul's saying don't be ignorant of these so paul's trying to give them understanding so they don't ignore it and sometimes the body of christ well i don't understand it so therefore i'm not going to touch it people are that way about eschatology you know last days teaching it's like well i'm not going to read the book of revelations because i i don't understand it but yet it tells us it's just a revelation of jesus christ so a lot of times we'll stay away from it from things just because we will ignore it because we don't understand it so paul's saying i don't want you to ignore the gifts of the spirit because you don't understand them so i want to bring understanding so in these teachings whether it's on the fruit or the gifts you're gonna we're gonna be educated to where we don't ignore things that we've been given and the third definition for ignorant here is paul is saying i don't want you to be misinformed i don't want you to be misinformed so so in this series that we're going to be dealing with is paul saying i don't want you ignorant he's saying i don't want you misinformed i don't want you to ignore them because you don't understand them and i want you to have i don't want you lacking knowledge in these gifts so spiritual gifts now concerning spiritual gifts now the word gifts in the bible there's four different definitions for the word gifts one of them we can see in hebrews chapter 11 verse 4 and this word gift is sacrifice or offering that's not what spiritual gifts are the second definition is a gift is something that has been divided or distributed you can you can find that word in hebrews chapter 2 verse 4. but that's not this word a third definition is a definition for gifts in the bible is a present and that in that word you can see defined in ephesians chapter 4 verse 8. but in corinthians 12 verse 1 the word gifts is different and it's the same word where we get our word charismatic from and it's actually the same word where we get the word grace from charis or we could say charisma or um yeah charisma or charis meaning grace so paul's saying a spiritual gift now concerning spiritual gifts now concerning spiritual graces now concerning spiritual endowments i don't want you ignorant and misinformed so so this is graces now this word this word greek word here for a gift is a favor and this word can mean a divine favor that brings deliverance from danger so let me define this now concerning spiritual graces that is a divine uh favor that brings deliverance from danger okay so so a gift of the spirit is a grace that can bring deliverance from danger now you see that so a gift of the spirit can bring deliverance from danger okay stay with me now another word for this word charisma here it's a spiritual endowment that brings qualification so paul's saying now concerning spiritual graces or spiritual endowments that bring qualifications don't be ignorant so not only do spiritual gifts bring the can bring deliverance from danger but now the spiritual gifts can bring endowments that make you qualified and the third definition this word also means a miraculous capability so paul say now concerning spiritual gifts or now concerning miraculous capability brethren i would not have you ignorant so i want you to see that the gifts of the spirit are not just for a five-fold ministry it's not for pulpit ministry but it's for believers i want you to know now heritage of faith concerning spiritual gifts let's not be ignorant let's not be misinformed let's not lack information let's not ignore them because we don't understand them do you see this tonight and so next week pastor phil is going to pick up and do some more foundational teaching on these gifts of the spirit okay and i believe it's important for us to to to be a part of this because i don't know about you but i want to be used by god how about you god wants to use you now concerning spiritual gifts joseph now concerning spiritual gifts becky hallelujah now thank you father hallelujah let's grow up into him how about you you like that idea so being full of the spirit is not just saying hey i go to a spirit-filled church no being filled with the spirit says i'm a witness and because i'm a witness i'm filled with the fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit hallelujah i have miraculous capabilities because of the spirit of god on my life stand to your feet hallelujah thank you father you receive this teaching tonight father we thank you for the word and i thank you i believe the holy spirit taught us tonight just place your hand on your heart see heavenly father i thank you for the spiritual graces that you have made available to the life of the believer i thank you father that we as a church will learn what it means to walk in the fullness of the spirit overflowing with the fruit of the spirit and walking in the gifts of the spirit we will not be ignorant but we will be the witnesses and the influences that you've called us to be we thank you for it in jesus name amen hallelujah you've been seated joseph oh hallelujah say i'm persuaded that this is going to happen to me oh amen you know that's available to start of the year he talked about you know last year was the year of the open door right you know supernatural increase as never before and uh this is a year of abundant overflow right abundant overflow and he just laid it out in the scriptures you know and then the lord proceeded to give him words to speak over us right and to believe and receive it and it comes all right out of the scriptures right and uh in deuteronomy or i'm sorry excuse me in genesis chapter 17 verses 6 to 7 the lord is talking to abram okay avraham and he says i will make you exceedingly fruitful i will make nations of you kings shall come out of you and i will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee and their generations for an everlasting covenant to be a god unto thee and to thy seed after thee now fast forward here's isaac okay i'm going to go to genesis 26 and now i gave some money this morning to the lord okay but before i did i spent an hour just walking around just going over these scriptures just going over these over and over again abundant overflow abundant overflow and then i i went to these scriptures and i just got a whole bunch of them in here because when i get words of god you know that come from the lord through dr savelle i make my own little pamphlets out of them i take scriptures i take the words that were written the things that i got when i was there and then i just go over and meditate on them till they become me you know i mean until they're rhema's they're just flowing out of me oozing out of me and um listen to this there's famine in the land besides that great famine that was in the days of avraham now this is in genesis chapter 26 and i'm starting at verse 1. so isaac goes on to abimelech the king of the philistines unto jerar isaac is in a situation where there's panic he's in a situation where there's famine people are scared people are holding on people are fighting there's probably stealing going on all kinds of stuff going on there's famine in the land everybody's concerned everybody's worried you know fear is all over the place you know he's probably talking with his wife with his family with all the people that are with him right that he inherited from from avraham right and so he's thinking about these things so he goes to the philistines right to their land well the lord appears to him now the lord had given avraham a word the lord has given us a word this is a year of abundant overflow supernatural increase precedence year of firsts right this is me i mean i receive this right i'm going back to the word we're going back to the words that the lord told avraham so now the lord is going to repeat these words into isaac's ears so he appears to him and he says unto him don't go down into egypt so he must have thought about going into egypt now get a load of this look what the lord does now he's creating a vision of that word he's getting that faith to build back up and to isaac about the word that he had shared to his father avraham right he says you dwell in the land that i will tell you you got a place guys you got a place where god's gonna prosper you i don't care if you're flipping burgers at mcdonald's he's going to make you own it in two years he's going to make you own 10 of them in 20 years and then you're going to run for senate and be a senator i'm telling you god's got to play i'm serious this is how god operates yes this is how he operates if he's telling you go down the street and sell a lemonade down at the other streets you better go down and start selling lemonade at the end of the street because you don't know a month from now a business guy might come by wanting to drink he wants a lemonade and he starts talking to you and this guy's the ceo of a business or a company and he looks at you and says i don't know why i'm doing this but do you want a job and the next thing you know you're working six you know six digit figures he's paying for your school i mean this is what god does it doesn't make sense to you but he says you dwell in the land that i show you god this land's got famine in it everybody's worried it's all desert out there can't you see it's not valuable land you know it's dirt cheap literally i mean it's not valuable right and so the lord's telling them no i'm going to give you all these countries right he said now listen it says you soldiering in this land and i'll be with you i'll bless you for unto thee and unto thy seed well if you be of christ you're abraham's seed your heirs according to the promise oh man don't you know i was having a good time with the lord this morning oh amen i will give you all these countries and i will perform the oats oath which i swear unto avraham thy father i will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and i will give unto thy seed all these countries and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed there's a reason for it right there's a reason for you being blessed not just for your family you're gonna bless others they're gonna see jesus in you they're gonna see the blessing in you i don't get it you live in the same neighborhood as me but yet you're never sick you're always prosperous you're always living an abundant overflow you always get the things you need you're always happy there's just a glow about you i don't get it i want what you got and it's the oh man the holy spirit's going to reveal himself and all of us oh my goodness i mean look at this so isaac does with the lord so i'm going to go to verse 12. so isaac sows in that land and does what the lord tells them to do okay and then the same year he receives a hundred fold and the lord blessed him man i was walking around the church this morning for an hour just praising the lord just praising his name just praising him for the promises that the lord has given us and i'm telling you you talk about when you release that seed and you give your tithes and you give your offerings and you've heard the words that the lord has given to us through dr savelle and you've heard all the things that we've heard here at heritage of faith and you've heard how the lord wants to bless us and how he wants to move us i'm telling you get with the lord when you go to give and then come release your offering get with him spend time with him go over these scriptures till they become alive in you oh my goodness i was here therefore oh israel and observe in other words the lord was telling me i'm going to make it plain i'll make it plain to you i mean there'll be no doubt in your heart you go home you'll spend time with him he'll tell you what to give he'll tell you where to sell it he'll tell you what to do with it the joy of the lord will come all over you because you'll hear from the lord now you know you've got that rhema now you're coming before the lord with your offering you see how that works oh my goodness and there's joy when you're doing it there's joy when you're releasing it because you know the lord's gonna bless it you know he's gonna prosper it right so father in the name of jesus i thank you as heritage of faith gives tonight we've been told that this is the year of abundant overflow in the name of jesus you lord know how to take our seed you know how to take our seed lord and you know how to bless it you know how to make it work you know

promise to do what you said way back to father avraham i'm going to make you plentiful i'm going to make you prosperous i'm going to show the world oh man in psalms 92 he said i'm going to let you be a a beacon for me i'm going to let you be a tree of righteousness for me i'm gonna show the world in and through you that i'm in you that i'm blessing you that i'm prospering you so they can want what
