IN THE SPIRIT: The Spirit Of Peace (Part 6) (July 14,2017) Keith Moore

we begin some weeks ago on a series that we are calling in the spirit in the spirit our texts are right here in John 3 John 4 and John 6 John 3 verse 5 jesus answered and he said verily verily I say to you except a man be born of the water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God verse 6 that which is born of the flesh is flesh that which is born of the Spirit is spirit and that's what he's saying just because you're born of the flesh the natural birth does not mean you're automatically in the kingdom of God now that's contrary to what some people say some people say all humanity are the children of God and that there are many different paths to God and all these religions are people calling the same God by different names and different approaches to the same God but we're all children of the same God that's a big lie that absolutely is not true if you believe the Bible you can't believe that because Jesus said that you know the Bible teaches there's one God and Jesus talked about nobody could come to the Father except by him that he is the way and if you didn't believe he is the one jesus said you would die in your sins he told some of the most religious people of his day he said you are of your father the devil and they were religious people so no there's not just one family and we're all the children of God there's two families I said there's two families and unless you're born both in the natural and in the spirit you're not in the family of God just how do you get in the family of God like you get into a natural family you're born into it and so there's a physical birth and there's a spiritual birth which is what people call being born again and technically the phrase here born again is born from above you're born from below physical birth and born from above but he's emphasizing the difference between flesh and spirit flesh and spirit go with me to the fourth chapter John 4 verse 20 Jesus speaking to the woman at the well of Samaria hears that our fathers worshiped in this mountain and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship keep going jesus said to her woman believe me the hour comes when you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the father she was trying to find out where the ricoeur echt geographical place where the correct physical place was and he said know the times come in where is neither one it's not about a geographical place will you worship you know not what and there's a lot of people that worship they don't know what they're worshipping it's just something that their parents did and something that their parents before them did something that their group does we know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews that is God chose Abraham and the seed of Abraham and out of that lineage has come Jesus but the hour comes and now is when the true worshipers well if you got true worshipers you got worshipers that are doing something but it's not real worship true worshipers shall worship the father how in spirit and in truth for the father seeks such to worship Him God is what not a mind not just some impersonal force God is a spirit you are a spirit you're sitting there right now looking at me through those two windows called eyes but you're not a body and you're not a you're not a mind you have a mind you live in a body you're made I'm made in the likeness and image of God he is the father the Bible says of spirits somebody say I'm a spirit I live in a body now if and when this body dies you're going to live on you're not going to turn into something else you're not going to turn into an angel that'd be a demotion hmm you're going to be you you're going to still have your mind you're going to be able to remember things from this life so where are you getting all that the Bible you'll check it out sometime it's got some good stuff in I know you do you're going to have your mind and you're not going to stop being this life is the briefest thing we'll ever do this is the shortest thing we'll ever do this is all we've ever known so 50 years seems like a long time to us 80 years hundred years is nothing to God a thousand years is like a day is to us and so he's the one perceiving it correctly we're the ones that think hundred years is a long time it's nothing it's a flash in the pan and what's supposed to be happening and I was supposed to be what is happening is that God is going to get a crop from the earth of those that trust him and in this world this lifetime that we have is every man and woman's opportunity to choose him or not believe in him or not seek his will for their life or not and sadly most of them are not obey Him or not but those that do oh somebody say those that do those that do are going to be his his treasure forever and they're going to rule and reign with him in a kingdom that will never end hallelujah Bible said he's going to put us over cities mm-hmm this is not a fairy tale this is the future and it said that so many don't have time for him because what's happening like now is showing who's going to be his and who's not going to be his I'm so thankful are you thankful I'm so thankful that he chose me and helped me to choose him hallelujah and I've made up my mind no matter what the rest of this crazy world does I believe in him and I trust him and I'm seeking his will for my life I want to follow him I want to please him and we can't do that by only doing stuff in the flesh and in the natural he's a spirit he's seeking such read the rest of that verse phrase please he's seeking those that would worship Him they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth read the next verse excuse me I should have backed up one verse 22 you already did it 23 thank you the hour comes and is when the true worshipers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth he is seeking everybody say seeking he's seeking such to worship him he doesn't want to hear a bunch of memorized phrases he doesn't want to see if you count beads or spin wheels are you listening he warned us about vain repetitions saying the same stuff mindlessly over and over that is stuff just done in the flesh it's religious but the Lord doesn't want it the father didn't want it he didn't ask for it he told us not to do it but millions because of religious indoctrination keep going through the same rituals the same stuff no he's seeking those that worship Him look at verse 24 God is a spirit somebody saying so am i they that worship Him must is it's not optional if you're gonna worship Him you got to do it this way must worship Him high in spirit and in truth so we have been for some weeks now identifying what is spirit and what is flesh identifying the Holy Spirit because there's much much giving us in the word to help us do this John 6:63 well John 6:63 jesus said it is the spirit that quickeneth this is one of the things that we've learned how can you tell if it's just flesh or how can you tell if it's spirit are in the spirit with the spirit by the spirit if it's in the spirit the spirits in it involved in it well the Holy Spirit is the spirit of life he's also called the Spirit of Resurrection he is the spirit that raised Christ from the dead thank you lord and he lives in you he lives in you brother Hagin used to say all the time he'd say that we need to become more God inside minded we need to become more aware and stay mindful of who's in us who's in us I'm not I'm not in this by myself you hear people talk about you know Allah I'm just I'm just so alone no the Lord said the Spirit of God would never leave you never forsake you he's in you you're never alone somebody needs to say it out loud I'm never alone and he's just as real as any human person you could be around just a lot smarter the greater one is in me hallelujah and he is the spirit of life he is the quickening spirit to quicken means to make full of life keep reading it's the spirit that quickens the flesh does what the flesh is not quickening the flesh profits nothing there's a deadness to the flesh when you do stuff and it's not there it's not faith in it and the spirits not in it and there's no anointing in it it's just all flesh and you can do things out of your head that are just all flesh and if you do it's dead de d-did dead just just flat nothing wearing wearying fatiguing and I don't even have to ask you how you've experienced some of this because you've experienced too much of this you and me both we're down here in the flesh but we don't have to walk by the flesh we don't have to be dominated by the flesh we can be aware of the spirit who's in us and we can look for him which we should look for the witness of the Spirit and we should look for this quickening when you when you get on the right track you get on the right answer get on the right way it's not dead anymore there is a quickening there's an enlivening and there's a witness hallelujah that's the thing you want to look for and then when you find that stay on it somebody say the quickening spirit he said it's the spirit that quickens the flesh profits nothing the words that I speak to you they are spirit and they are life God's words when the Spirit of God is speaking to you whether it's through a man or woman whether it's from the Bible whether it's by the spirit in privately DOS those words our never did those words our spirit and so they minister to your spirit that's why so many times when the Lord speaks to you whether it's through somebody or directly your spirit will get excited about something and your head is not caught up because the words are not just mental words and they're not just physical sound waves their spirit words and spirit words go right into your spirit hallelujah and Philips not experienced this numerous times and know many of you have you begin to look at something or pray about something and the Spirit of God begin to speak to you and man you get excited in your spirit and your heads going what what why are we excited about and you go away you'll find out soon I'm sure because your heart can know things your head does not yet know but when you get that don't ignore it don't go away from it keep feeding that stay on that follow that the Spirit of God is the quickening spirit I want us to go further today to this evening and talk about the spirit another way of identifying him look with me in Hebrews the twelfth chapter he's the quickening spirit the spirit of life in Hebrews 12 and verse 12 he said lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees make straight paths for your feet Hebrews 12 now 13 lest night which is lame be turned out of the way but let it rather be healed the Lord wants things strengthened and healed not failed and destroyed and verse 14 Philo peace with all and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord two things here he told us to follow follow peace and follow holiness both of these are the scripture descriptive words used in reference to the holy spirit he's called the holy spirit he's also called the spirit of peace peace is a big word in the Bible a big way you sit many times and many times in the New Testament God is called the God of peace the gospel is called the gospel of peace and one way you can identify the Holy Spirit is in divine peace if it's in the spirit the spirits in it and if the spirits in it there's going to be some quickening and life in it we've already talked about there's also going to be some peace peace now the peace I'm talking about you cannot find in a pill or a syringe our bottles are on a shopping trip or a vacation you cannot find this miserable manner I've been pretty mellow you know with some drugs that's that's not peace that's that's your mind being lulled into a fog that's not peace and what the enemy intends is for you to lose control so that he can manipulate if you are so drunk are so high that you don't know what you're doing who's driving are y'all with me all you got to do is look at what kind of stuffs happening what kind of stuff are you saying and do it you can tell that's why the enemy pushes so hard substance abuse and why people are tempted so much because he he is a manipulator he wants to control you and he can't do that as long as you're at the wheel and as long as you're in control of your faculties it's dangerous to get so high and drunk it you don't know what you're doing that's how a lot of people are no longer with us on the earth right how many people died in car accidents every year because of this stuff many many other things people do crazy stuff stupid stuff stuff they don't even remember well that that should shake you up right you mean I'm saying and doing stuff and I'm not even aware of it then who's driving other spirits that you're yielding to this is real now the Holy Spirit by contrast is not a manipulator he will not control you here sometimes people pray so God just please just take me over help me you know turn my mind off and take me over and make me do it not going to happen you're praying a prayer he can't answer he told us to yield ourselves to him the Holy Spirit's not going to make you do anything if he was going to make anybody do anything did make people get saved make them receive Jesus because that's heaven in hell that's eternity he doesn't do that if he won't do that he's certainly not going to make you do it lesser things it's up to us whether we yield to him or not Jesus is not the good cowboy cowboy drives a herd he's not going to drive you he's the good what Shepard and if you read the passage it describes the the old-style Eastern shepherding the Shepherd calls the sheep by name and they follow nobody's driving them they follow of their own accord this is the only way it works with God he won't have it any other way you follow him because you want to or you won't but we want to I said we want to but how do the people that will follow God of course that's that's the right idea how do I know it's him how do I know what's the spirit and what's just flesh sure what's even a wrong spirit the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit is the quickening spirit of life the Holy Spirit is the spirit of peace somebody say follow peace go to first Peter please first Peter the third chapter really valuable things we're talking about right now you've had to make a decision hmm an important one that you needed to get right how can you be sure you get it right you need to be led by the spirit well how can I identify what's him here's a big way the Holy Spirit is the spirit of peace and we're told to follow peace go ahead set out loud follow peace follow peace in first Peter 3 and 10 first Peter 3:10 he that will love life and see good days now let your stuff out here how many want to have a good life and a long one if you if you look up where he's quoting this from the original from the Old Testament includes this from the Psalms and other places includes the ideals long life good days and lots of them and a good life so basically he said who wants a good life and a long life everybody should do it me me me then he tells you what to do refrain your tongue from evil and that's a whole message right there but you know the Bible calls the ten spies that spoke bad about the Kanaan's land said that they spoke evil evil report talk and unbelief is evil many things and your lips that they speak no guile now guile is anything false if you want if you want to have a good life and a lot of days you need to talk faith and agree with God and don't tell a lie ever ever you don't have to lie now it'd be hard to find a person in the room that had never lied just look straight ahead don't raise your hand but that's the past I said that's the past and the blood cleanses us from all sins but if you want it to go well for you your words matter Jesus was the Apostle and high priest of our confession of what we say and we need to talk faith and say what he says and we don't need to say anything except what we believe to be true honesty big thing to having a good life let him his shoe evil despise evil do good and what else should you do seek peace and ensue now that's the King James others say pursue two things about peace what do you say seek it and pursue it let me sit like this we this may be more close to our modern language look for it and follow it when it comes to peace he told us two things to do we've already seen it in Hebrews he said follow peace look for peace and then what when you find it follow that follow that look for peace and follow it Phyllis and I often talk about how precious and valuable it is to begin to learn a few things about how to be led by the Spirit it just changes your life so wonderfully and amazingly because people are making decisions based on all kind of stuff I mean much of the world they never asked God what they should do they don't even check in they don't even ask many don't know there is such a thing as being led by the Spirit of God far in concept but it ought not be because as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God sons of God can expect to be and should be ought to be led by the Spirit of God who is the spirit of peace look for peace seek it and pursue it or follow it when you got a decision do I do this or do do that do I get to forward or the Chevy he do I get the three-bedroom house of the four-bedroom house hmm toodaloo somebody do it do I get don't take this job I'm going to take that job do do I pursue this is my main thing in school college my degree my major or not do I go this way do I continue to see this person and get engaged or not do I live here or do a live there what should we do you should be led if you find and follow the leading of the Spirit you're going to get it right every time and the further you go the more right you gonna find out it was because he never makes a mistake he knows the end from the beginning and he's never gonna lead you wrong when you wind up at the wrong place and did the wrong thing he's won because you were being led by the spirit led by the flesh led by something else many people are led by price hmm led by price there are people that have left good churches moved to the other side of the country for a few dollars more per our job didn't he match the Lord all kind of things like this happen people you know they're they're looking you know looking on the menu chose this one because it was a dollar cheaper and got food poisoning I'm telling you you can get in trouble drive across town to a place you shouldn't even been to get gas for a dollar cheaper wind up in the intersection get hit by somebody this happens wound up being somewhere you shouldn't have been because you didn't ask not even trying to be led and it's not like you have to stop drop and stop and pray for three hours before I go to the grocery store before I go get gay all you got to do is develop an awareness of the somebody else inside me who knows everything I want to do know somebody will say you mean about that that there's somebody else inside me besides me the Holy Spirit and he will lead me and he will guide me he's endeavoring to do it all the time if I'll just acknowledge him I mean the proverb said that in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths well what if you don't even look if you don't even ask were you not acknowledging him and he said acknowledge him in how many ways all your ways because truth is you need help you need help in everything you can't just say well I got this god I'll die checking with you on the big stuff no honey you don't know it but you need help in this too you need help and tying your shoes I mean you need help in everything you may not think so but you do and all you got to do is just check check check inside check ins I'm going to my trying to hear voices I'm not talk about trying to see angels just check inside because the Bible said Romans 8 the Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit not our head not our intellect not our emotions not our feelings not our senses he bears witness with our spirit causes us to know look with me in Kailash please thanks be to God thanks be to God Colossians 3:15 I'm getting excited in my spirit there's some of that quitting quickening quitting that's southern quit quitting it's like shortening some of that quickening because I could see some folks are going to do this and going to be spared some problems and they're going to do this and go find some good things hallelujah glory to God when maybe before before might not even check might not even look might not have known what to look for but we'll know and we'll check and it'll be spared via I'm moving too quick here we're not quite ready for Colossians go to first Corinthians are actually just stay where you are and we'll put it on the screen in first Corinthians 14:33 just put this on the screen for me please first Corinthians 14:33 since God is not the translators added those words when you see them in brackets like that that's not part of the original text he's not of confusion or some say he's not in confusion but he's the god who's of and the God who's in peace God's not in confusion he's not up confusion didn't come from him for one thing he don't have any he's not confused about anything he's not God's not confused never do you come to him with a problem or an issue and he go quite when did this happen Michael Gabriel what are we gonna do about this never never never never he knows the end from the beginning he saw it coming before you ever where it could come and he's already got the answer in place he think he's not trying to come up with an answer or figure out a solution so he couldn't minister confusion to you because he's not confused he couldn't give you something he don't have but all the evil spirits all the spirits of the enemy they are vexed you can't be cut off from God and not be vexed God can't give you confusion the devil can't give you peace can't he don't have it he couldn't give it to you if its existence depended on the devil and his cohorts they're real they're spirits they are not happy campers they lost their place they're looking at a future of condemnation and destruction and torment they want to control everything down here and even after they got they got a lot of control but they still have not been able to crush the church and the Bible tells them at the end that just bothered to read they're not going to be able to people are getting born again all over this planet getting filled with the Spirit finding out who they are in Christ we've got more churches and bigger churches and we've ever I mean it just ain't going well for him now like he wants it to they're not happy and and what they endeavor to do is to instigate strife and angst and vexation and confusion well and you'll find that the more of that is going on the less God is in any of that involved in the situation he's not in any confusion but the more confusion that's in the situation the less God's doing anything in the situation and the more the enemy is manifesting God is not in confusion but he's in peace the Youngs literal says God's not of tumult but of peace tumultuous upheaval frustration vexation anger all of these are words that describe no peace no peace we've been reading in Isaiah and you'll find more than once where it says there is no peace to the wicked we're not the wicked we're the righteous we've been made righteous by the blood of the left we're not supposed to be without peace we're not supposed to be anywhere inside in tumult look with me in James please the book of James on the third chapter now you're still holding the place to write Colossians don't forget about that I need some help I get you to remind me here later James three James 3 and verse 14 if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts glory not and lie not against the truth this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly sensual devilish it's the wicked that don't have any peace Jesus told us in John he said my peace I give to you not as the world giveth don't let your heart be troubled don't let it be afraid I've given you my peace when you're born again that's the first thing it happens it washes over your being and you know I ain't going to hell you know I'm saved you know I'm accepted in the beloved this doesn't frustrate you this doesn't confuse you this doesn't vex you this gives you peace your soul your heart your mind your body is able to relax and go praise God thank God somebody say thank God I'm safe thank God my name is in the Lamb's Book of Life when you believe that and you receive that what does that do to you gives you peace gives you peace I don't have to lie awake tonight and toss wondering if I'm gonna go to hell or not some people say why I wish I was that sure well if you leave the Bible you can't be it's a matter of believing it and it's not God who wants you vexed and upset learning how to do things in the spirit versus in the flesh when you're doing stuff in the flesh and you're going the wrong way it's going to bother you on the inside we talked about you have a check inside something bothers you now you can ignore it and if you ignore it day after day and week after week month after month you get where you hardly notice it but that just means you're dull and in college it doesn't mean you're lost but you're just dull and unaware you want to keep yourself sensitive inside you want to see you don't want to be hard-hearted you want to be tender-hearted and if something bothers you don't ignore it stop if you take if you say something to somebody you shouldn't have said if you're doing decently spiritually your hearts going Bobby as soon as it I mean soon as it comes out of your mouth before you're finished saying it your hearts going to smite you you're going to I sometimes people so the Holy Ghost condemned me no he didn't no he didn't that's your own heart that your own heart condemning you not the Holy Spirit he will convict you convince you of the truth but he's not condemning you but your own heart will your own heart or smudging you go I shouldn't said that well don't ignore it don't let your pride choke it admit it confess it stop right there humble yourself and say I shouldn't have said that to you say it out loud you know when you're in that kind of situation speak right up or if whatever reason you didn't do it and you get home and your heart bothered you on the way back to the house well call them don't let the Sun go down on your wrath and don't let the night pass with your heart bothering you same idea what are we looking for we're looking for peace and we're going to follow peace what if something's bothering us some sachet ating us we need to quit that we need to quit what's doing that to us we need to quit going that way but you know people's pride I said I was going to do it we've been planning it for eight months we already got all our stuff some friends of mine had been planning their Christmas vacation try don't know a year or better and they were going to I guess it was Thailand and had two young girls here going to the beach they're going spend time in the warm Sun and on the beach and as they got closer to it time to go they got the tickets they got their hotel they got all the stuff it began the man of the house the father begin to bother him something begin to bother him and these are friends of us Phyllis in mind personally and people's been in the ministry for years and he tried to ignore it because the girls are so excited and everybody been planning this for a year or whatever and and finally it just kept bothering him because he's they're continuing to go like they're going and the closer they get to it the more it bothers him what does he not have he didn't have peace what should we be looking for all the time peace and what do we follow peace what do we not follow confusion agitation unrest tumult finally these are people that pray in and believe God finally he he's told his wife he said I I don't want to say this but something's bothering me about us going doing this trip and vacation but she wasn't happy about it either but she's a spiritual woman and so they prayed and and days went by and he just couldn't couldn't get clear that he said I I don't know what it is well what is I don't know so they didn't he said we just not gonna go I'm and he told the girls they were disappointed the same days they were supposed to be there was when that big tsunami came and wiped out that whole area somebody say Wow now if they had been washed away with the many other people that were people would have sister I don't understand that these are good people good ministers why'd God let that happen to them it's not God's fault that's the wrong question because you can be sure every one of God's people he's doing the same thing with them many just are not listening not checking not looking or even if they get it every one of us have ignored that and went on and found out why and how many times if you heard people say people say I knew I shouldn't well if you knew you should know why did you people have not been taught pay attention to what you get in here pay attention to that don't over don't override that don't ignore that because if everything is okay you normally don't even think of it then in cross your mind everything's great everything's good you just got peace right but when something starts bugging you something starts grating you don't just keep blaring and pushing through stop start praying start looking I'm going to tell my fear now I'm just talking about check and look and if you can't get clear put it on hold even if it messes with your plans how many things they were thankful that they weren't on that beach there are two girls two young girls I mean that whole place was I don't remember the name of that place but that whole thing you know what I'm talking about few years ago it was just completely washed away many people died they were supposed to be there thank God for the leading of the Holy Spirit when he finally quit trying to go and kept going that way and they decided they weren't going to go guess what happened peace he's like he's okay now didn't know why couldn't tell his wife why couldn't tell his girls why girls are unhappy but the girls are alive that's pretty big deal hmm the peace of God that passes understanding it keeps you heart it keeps your mind if you follow it and keep you life hallelujah keep you from being at the wrong place at the wrong time the enemy is always trying to set us up he's killer he's a thief he's a murderer he's always trying to set up some scenario to get you and me at the wrong place at the wrong time something bad happened to us I know it's not that's not a nice thought but that's just how it is that's how this world is he's always trying to do that to you and me but the bigger one the greater one the smarter one the wiser one is in US and he will help us to not be ignorant of Satan's devices and if we learn to be led by his spirit you know what will happen the devil - work work work and try to set this up set this up and you'll have us all primed for he might have been working on it for months or even years and we start to go and go ah hmm you know I think I'll just go this way today and just miss the whole thing and those demons got to be pulling their hair going no no oh no we set this up too cuz ain't much course you wouldn't know it because it didn't happen you just know everything's ok no problems friend when you go day after day week after week month after month no significant problems you're getting help you're getting help because this world's dangerous place there's a lot of bad stuff going on down here you just keep you keep going through life and you're being kept being kept being kept being kept you're dwelling in the secret place of the most high under the shadow of the Almighty hallelujah somebody said that's me that's me James 3 are you there verse 16 for we're envying and strife is there's what confusion and every evil work where you see strife in manifestation and you see confusion in manifestation the devil is in manifestation and when he's in manifestation there's going to be evil or bad stuff happening one of his favorite things is rioting and even better for his concern is war where people get so enraged that there is this mob madness and people just get in that they don't know what they're doing people die in these situations don't they and to take that much further is all-out war he's a killer he's a destroyer that's what he wants to do but when everybody is in a peaceful state of mind and a loving and wise state of mind it's hard to get them to kill each other they're just not even close to it so how does he get them from hi you guys good I'm good yeah you yeah let's go do sisters together next week how do you get them from that all the way to killing each other did I just go do it off the cuff what do we do you start by getting them to believe some lies about each other getting them confused about what's really going on come on can't you see this and get getting this one to say something they shouldn't say and that one to say something back they shouldn't say and get some strife going come on can you see this you get enough confusion and enough strife it just compounds it gets worse and worse until somebody not only says something they should have done they do something they shouldn't have done and then they retaliate and then they retaliate and you have a war people die stuff is destroyed but we don't ever have to allow the enemy to work us up into that state we can be protective of our hearts and we can keep our peace we need to be protected out of your heart are the issues of life and you need to grab hold and go nothing is stealing my peace nothing I'm going to hold on to the peace of God that passes understanding I'm not going to follow strife and confusion I'm not going to yield to that I'm not going to go that way when you see things start spiraling out of control you see conversations start going don't just keep going stop just stop they say you know this is not going well let's take a break I don't want to well I insist I'm going hmm do not just keep going down that pack because this guy's going to get worse and it's gonna get worse quick look at it again for envy and strife is what what else is there confusion and every kind of evil work but the wisdom that is from above is first pure and then what peaceable when the direction that really is coming from God it's not going to work you up it's not going to confuse you it's not going to vex you when you're really getting some direction and wisdom and help from him you're going to go ah that's it peace peace answers from him give you peace the wisdom that's from above is first pure then peaceable gentle easy to be intreated it's easy to talk to full of mercy good fruits without partiality without hypocrisy verse 18 and the fruit of righteousness is shown in peace of them that make peace the holy spirit is the spirit of peace if I'm going to be led by the spirit if I'm gonna do things in the spirit I need to be looking for that peace and I need to be following that peace we live in a world where all kind of stuff's going on many voices in the world some of them coming through people you know trying to lead you this way trying to lead you that way there's all kind of reasoning good because of this you do it because we need it do it because I want you to do it because it's the cheapest it's the best it's the quickest it's the you don't to be led by any of that you don't to be led by what you want to do you want to be led by the one who's inside you because you trust that he knows what's best he knows the things going causes turn out in the best possible way look in Colossians in Colossians where you've been holding you place I think you're ready for it now hmm Colossians 3 and 15 it says let the peace of God do what rule in your hearts to the which also you're called in one body and be thankful let the peace of God do what rule where in your heart we know we're supposed to look for the peace we know we're supposed to follow the peace and another way of saying follow it is right here let it rule listen to the amplified let the peace from Christ rule let it act as umpire continually in your hearts deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds just like the umpire who's at the base is it safe are they out who gets to call it hmm the the person defending the base the guy running to the base who gets to call it the crowd the announcer who gets to go there's a lot of people trying to call he was out he was out not even safe what do they go by you don't get to call people playing the game don't get to call the announcer don't get to call it right the arm the Empire he gets to cover well what gets to call your decision what you see what you think what you want what they said what the report said there's a lot of stuff trying to call it let the piece call it you think about doing this just can't get settled about that then don't do it think about doing this mm-hmm more you think about doing it looks good sounds good but then when you start that way something's bugging you by not up here not out here it's in here yes don't ignore it don't push past it but when you when you think about doing this thing more you think about it for lack of a better phrase better you feel it's not a physical feeling but it's it's a witness more you look at it more you think about it more you pray about it it just increases so if it's God today it'll be God tomorrow he's not changing day in and day out and so the more you pray about it the more you look at it the more you go towards that you got peace you got peace it may be stopped what they think you are to do maybe it's not the cheapest or the easiest but let the peace of God act as umpire let it cause what you do and what you don't do and the more you pray in the spirit and check on the inside of you trust the Lord with all your heart don't lean to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths instead of asking everybody what they think you ought to do quit doing that yeah instead of just continuing to try to get all information that you can get you find out information use your mind but you can never find out enough you don't know the future you can never find out everything about it but there's somebody in you who already knows already knows get quiet turn off everything quit texting yeah actually turn it off turn it off if you can't stand it put in another room but I'm serious because this kind of stuff can hinder you from hearing from God if you're if you're just continually your minds interrupted and you can't stay on a train of thought more than a few seconds that's been Carly and Andy it's important that you make the right decision on these things life is a series of choices decisions determine direction direction determines destiny destination where you wind up it a decision puts you on a course you stay on that course you want to put a certain place if you depict this way different course different life pretty important how we're gonna make our decisions I don't have to know everything I don't have to understand everything how am I gonna make it I let the peace of God rule in my heart Lord gave me a song along this line let it quiet my mind from fearful thoughts when problems rise like storms on the sea the peace of the Lord is on me can you say mammy stand on your feet everybody y'all think we can sing that all right a little my heart oh yes why my my [Music] when the proper proxy oh yes [Music] we'll sing it out like let it quiet my [Music] and when the problem right from that our machines are useful we sing it again peace of God rule in my heart [Music] [Music] explore machine here we swing the worst world going [Music] when they try [Music] you're not [Music] we were all left to be said let peace of God rule in my heart and with Oh
