rise [Music] it's time you here with us which are our southeast regional directors uh but their region goes beyond that even because they all help in like four or five other states alabama tennessee i mean they're just they're all over the place and so uh but but the thing is their region is just exploding i mean it is moving and it just goes back to what they're doing with their teams and so they're always an example of how leaders should function they lead by example and they lead in the truth they keep the message pure and they're doing a great job so this morning we've asked marie if she would share with us and so she's going to take the nine o'clock service and share the word of god with you amen let's welcome marie gonzalez amen amen and you've got a mic so we're good all right all right am i ready to go bless you my sister thank you all right okay now we're ready open up your bibles to proverbs chapter four please take out your pen and paper you're going to need it um i don't know if it's possible to get the dry erase board but i'd like to draw something for everybody real quick would be nice to have okay that would be nice all right so brother curry said something this seminar that stood out to me and i had already prepared something just in case but it took a twist when he said this so i prepared something and i believe that this is what the body of christ needs right now um i'm used to teaching for three hours so i'm going to condense it into 47 minutes because brother curry took a minute or two of mine so but um i really need you to pay attention i need you to open your ears open your eyes look at the word look at what is what god is saying and you know take it seriously you know and don't back off of what god has said and that's the point that i'm going to be making you know as far as what we're doing as far as tightening the maturity level in the believers all right so brother curry says that as the deep as the deeper the ship goes the tighter things have to be right you heard that okay so when i when i was thinking about that and meditating on that you see because when you hear brother curry teaching you have to meditate on some of the things that he says we actually separate his his messages in like 10 to 12 segments when we hear it and we concentrate on the point that he's bringing out in those 10 12 minutes because he always brings something out that is like okay i need to be living this i need to be walking this out and there's like tons of scriptures behind those 10 minutes that he just doesn't quote but it's in there okay so when you think about tightening something the first thing that i thought of to for the sake of maturity is tightening up life stewardship so write that down you know you have a life that god has given you that you need to steward you know how many times you is in the new testament are the things that you should be doing all right so another word for life stewardship is lifestyle your lifestyle and where does your lifestyle need the training well brother curry went over that yesterday in your soul and we're going to go a little bit over that today okay now in proverbs chapter 4 let me open to it real quick even though i should know it by heart right which i do but i'm just going to read it directly because i want to stop at certain words proverbs chapter 4 it stars by the lord saying my son right my son give attention to my words incline your ear to my understanding now you give attention you incline your ear god doesn't do that for us you do that right i'm making an emphasis on this because in raising disciples and in raising leaders and raising people one of the things that that a lot of times is is the weak part of their life is the inclining the giving attention to because there are details that god wants you to get in your life he wants you to he doesn't want you to be so um focused on the details that you're not effective he wants you to be focused on the details where you incorporated with the big picture you know if you've been through mind renewal you realize that your brain god made your brain that way that your brain one side goes from detail to big picture the other side goes from big picture to detail well god wants you involved in both he wants your mind renewed to both because that's where the training the transformation takes place the biggest transformation is going to take place in your mind and we know that i mean guys have been in this message long enough to understand that that's the way it works man um then in verse 20 i'm in verse 20 now in verse 22 it says do not let them depart from your eyes so how do you give attention you don't let them depart from your eyes so what do you do same thing brother curry was just saying yesterday you look and see the ratio of time that you spend in the word the majority of your time has to be spent with your eyes on the word now i'm going to talk to you about the word too because people have a definition of the word that is very loose we're going to define the word just as we've been defining it here at john j lake ministries you know rightly divided in context not deviating anything not finding fault with god that's the thing that i see most in some of the questions you can't find fault with god god is good you look at god now for new testament eyes god has been revealed to you in jesus christ we even have a book of the revelation of jesus christ purposeful he is genuinely good in every aspect there is no darkness in him so if anybody tries to talk you out of that from the old testament because they don't see him in the light of who he really is you have to stand up to it and say nope that's not the god i know you know and if he did do some of those things he had a reason for it because my god is just he's not only my god he's my father who happens to be god ruling all these things and he is just he's not going to do something unnecessarily so my mind doesn't even go to find fault with him my mind goes to know him walk with him and realize that everything that he has and everything that he is is going to be right amen because we are his righteousness we have the testimony we have the testimony of righteousness the bible says we are his righteousness we've been made his righteousness second corinthians 5 21 right okay then it says keep keep them in the midst of your heart okay here's where i want to draw something real quick for you and i'm going to try to imitate what curry did yesterday brother curry did yesterday um all right so we have in the one of you one of my favorite teachings is the spiritual embodies so you have to get into that teaching you have to listen to all the teachings brother curry has out there it's just awesome if you get that you're going to get a lot so first we have this circle then we have this other circle then we have this other circle and all that represents something okay what does it represent all right very good so we have um spirit on this side we have soul here and then we have the body here all right all right so in the center of it all we have what's called the heart when the bible talks about the heart it's the core of everything now it involves everything because god made it so that everything works it works well you know when okay when you think of uh father son and holy ghost do you think that there's anything in there that's not true that's not righteous that's not just that's not awesome that's not good that's not light that's not life no because all that is in here in the heart of who they are it's their character and nature coming out of here right and so here's another point that i want to bring out concerning this aspect and i want glad i have different colors these are really nice christina take a look at these we need to get these so anyways so another aspect that brother curry brought out here and it's what the bible says here's the eyes here's the ears am i spelling that right yeah not the hearing the ears okay here's the ears and the eyes that's where things come in and it comes in not through your spirit necessarily but through your soul you know what comes in through the eyes what comes in through the ears now you also have spiritual eyesight i understand that but the the thing is that the spirit here's what the spirit has and here's how the spirit looks that's where truth is at truth is here right and so if you have truth in your spirit you don't need to teach train your spirit to anything your spirit doesn't need its mind renewed when the bible says in ephesians the spirit of your mind needs renewing is the spirit of your mind here not the spirit of the mind of the spirit the spirit the spiritual mind is the mind of christ which is perfect and right now the mind of christ reigns right now the mind of christ does not think bondage it does not think sacrificing on a cross because if you have been dead in christ and you've been buried with him you have been raised with him in life and that's what you have in your spirit all right so truth the truth of god wants to get more of you want to get more of the truth of god in here right how do you do that well it doesn't just flow this way it also has to flow this way like brother curry was talking about yesterday concerning the you know the aspects of when you're living in the world and the things that you're listening to you know the things that are coming in you have to challenge all those things you have to set the barrier and challenge the things that come in whether you were taught them whether you were in church and you most of the time it's the things that you learn in churches you know whether you were um brought up that way no matter what it is it has to be challenged because you want to line up your soul with what is true in your spirit if you're born again you know the bible says if you're born again you have the spirit of god if you have the spirit of god you're gonna have the spirit of truth you're gonna have the spirit of strength you're gonna have the spirit of wisdom you're gonna have the spirit of direction of purpose you're gonna know who you are in christ you're going to know who christ is in you that's what's going to be trained up in you the bible says if you know god if you know him you have been taught of him you have been taught of him by the truth we're going to go go and look into some of those scriptures now keep reading in um proverbs four i want you to see the truth you have to seek the truth as believers we have to be responsible of god we live by what's happening to do out there they're trying to make it so you just live what's out here no no no no no there's something going on in here that i need to be living by i live by what is in my inner man not by what is out here this does not out here does not dictate to me what's going to come out of here you your faces say your faces your body it's not going to dictate what's in here coming out the truth is going to come out the training is going to come out how we have to live for father how we have to live for jesus is going to come out because we don't live by what's out here we live by what's in here that is solid that is true that has been arrived at the bible says that there are silly women in in timothy it says that there were silly women that were so laden with with um sins and it doesn't necessarily mean sins of you know of adultery or anything like that it could be sins of unbelief sins of just rejecting god sins of denying god sense of just listening to everything and not paying attention to what's going on on the inside they were laid in winston's they were weighed down with sins right and they said that they studied and studied and studied and never arrived to truth i'm sure they had devotionals in those days little devotional packages you go through the scripture do this clock in oh yeah i did my word for the day and then they sit there and sat there for four or five hours gossiping i don't hang around women that gossip i could tell you that you start gossiping i'm walking i'm not gonna do that that's garbage i wanna be fruitful for the kingdom of god and to be fruitful as a woman to as a woman to be fruitful for the kingdom of god you better have some truth you better know what you're talking about you better know that god is with you that god is in you and that god is for you and you also better know that you are responsible all right you are responsible for what they're hearing from you and if you lead people to bondage you will have to give account to god for that you can fluff it up here out here all you want but if you're a woman and you're taught you're sitting around you're just talking talking talking talking and you're not paying attention to your words you better be very careful because god wants truth coming out of us god wants edification coming out of our mouths god wants our children and everybody that knows us to say now that's a woman of god and not just because she dances or she looks pretty or because she raised banners in the air or because she walks around you know like whatever no because she knows god and she walks with god and she's energized with the spirit of god and she can train you up to be strong what's wrong with that what is wrong with people standing up and saying no you need to be strong stop with it with your weakness stop it with your griping and complaining stop it with your whiny stop why because god is a god of strength and that is not god that is my enemy working in your life and we're going to get him out and the way to get him out is for you to agree with me because you need to if i'm walking strong you need to agree with me because i got what you need make the connection learn to make the connection with what's going on around you don't hang around weak people now when it says like-minded people for us to hang around like-minded people make sure you hang around like-minded people that are strong in the like-mindedness don't say oh yeah they're like-minded they i hear this a lot they kind of sort of believe our message and uh what does that mean no no no no no what's the message that they believe from the bible because if they deviate in any way they're weak because we're here to make people stronger in the word of god amen okay now i said all that to say these scriptures that i'm going to go into now it says here in verse 23 keep your heart with all diligence remember that word diligence for out of it brings the issues of life okay so what are you keeping your heart right you're keeping your heart with all the religions let me see what what let me use this color you're keeping your heart with all diligence what is in your heart everything the whole thing is in your heart you know because everything flows from here to everything flows in here to flow out of you where does it flow out of you through your mouth through your lips what what is what is in your mouth and your lips words how did god create everything words what did jesus what is jesus the word so the word is identified as the word of truth amen the word of truth the what is truth well pilate asked that question and he was looking straight at him okay what is truth you know what truth is john says it where the lie liars you know when they come and they insist on their things i go no no no romans 3 4 you're the liar god is true i'm sticking with god plain and simple moving on to somebody who wants this like brother curry has taught us keep moving to find the people that want it keep moving to grow the good trees keep moving to produce the good fruit people have a problem with that you know what people have a problem with a lot of times not you guys now you guys you guys are trained you guys are trained well people have a lot of problem with moving on they get stuck with things that don't matter they get stuck and you can't do that if you're going to be fruitful and you're going to give an account to god oh good i have 30 minutes still i think i can do this praise the lord you have to you have to be able to assimilate all this you have to be able to internalize all this as a life as a life stewardship to think to yourself this is the fear of god see the fear of god is not that i fear god and i can't be i can't be around him you know it's like i'm timid no because the but he tells me don't be timid i don't want you timing around me talk let's talk let's reason together let's get things done amen that's how father talks to us let's get things done now if you can get to that point in your life you're gonna get revelation but like brother curry has taught us god's not gonna reveal things to you if you're not gonna share it you're not gonna do anything with it because it's the doers of the word that are not deceived it takes lies to be deceived doers of the word have truth because doers of the word don't believe the lies they don't give heed to the lies doers of the words want the truth they want it plain they want it simple they want action they want to know what to do and they want to go do it so that's what we are in our dna we're doers of the word you have jesus you have a doer of the word because he's the word that wants to get done on this earth amen all right so write this down here it says notice that it says that they that find him that they that for they are those in verse 22 life to those who find them in health to all their flesh notice that it doesn't say life to those who find them and peace to other flesh it says it says health now how many of you know that peace brings health because god jesus is our peace right there's health in peace now okay in romans chapter five i wrote it down verses because i want to make sure i had the right verses i knew it was in this chapter but five through nine if you read that along with this you realize that peace and health go together in the sense that if you're spiritually minded what are you going to be spiritually minded with truth you're going to be spiritually minded with truth when you're spiritually minded with truth you are under orders truth gives you orders all right truth doesn't just say oh look look i'm truth here i am no no truth is like come on let's get on the move let's go we got things to do we got people to see we got things to say you need to stand up straight you need to hold your head high not in pride and truth teaches you that see truth says don't be prideful anybody can do what you can do you know you're no special you're just doing what's required of you you're not really going beyond what you're supposed to be doing this is what you're supposed to be doing right so truth says hold yourself up carry on do my word do it because my word is right we are no longer in the time of ritual we're no longer in the time of having to obey a checklist of laws we are now where the heart has a little bit more control than it did back then and the heart is mentioned so much in the new testament all right so now open to um john chapter 17. and another thing that i want you to write down write down the scripture matthew 12 33-37 that one is the one that says that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks what is the mouth gonna speak whatever mix whatever mixture you have in there the more of the word the more of the truth gets in the more of your soul agrees with it that's what's gonna come out of your mouth out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks everything that's in you that you don't see you don't see your soul you don't see your spirit but at this part that's in you comes out this way that's why the bible says in romans 12 1-2 it says that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice that scripture is working its way backwards here you know here i'm teaching you how to do this flow this way romans is teaching you how to go this way in the sense like what's you need to pay attention to what's coming out because it has to be pure it has to be right it has to be based on truth so it's telling sacrifice your body make it liv a living sacrifice living meaning that it comes from your spirit so when you infamous um scripture that says that the only means of transformation is through the renewing of the mind so it actually encompasses all three parts you renew your mind that comes in you renew your mind to everything that gets processed in there this is a processor your soul is a processor but you your will which is this is what i'm letting process and this is what i'm not stay out come in stay out come in these thoughts i don't care who they came from if they're wrong they're wrong i'm not sitting there deciding i don't we don't have time to sit there and decide did it come from the flesh did it come from the devil did it come from where did it come from how did it get there i don't care it doesn't matter it's a waste of time that's another thing that truth teaches you learn not to waste your time be judicial with your time be judicial with your time because your time is life or death is it gonna be for life or for death amen and so this is how we train now if you don't like strength like this you don't like talk like this you're in the wrong place you're in the wrong station because god wants you strong and able he says it time and time and time again it's repeated time and time and time again he wants to strengthen you he wants you to get around people that are strong that are doing things that are not afraid you know that are not afraid what people are doing out there that are not afraid of some of the mandates that are out there not i'm not afraid of that stuff no don't be afraid god says no don't be afraid how many times did he told joshua do not be afraid you know how many times did he tell the prophets don't be afraid of their faces you stand with me i'll protect you i'm with you if god is with you who can be against you oh yeah we sing it in songs but do we really live it out we sing it we sing these things we have to live them out we have to really walk it out step by step like like we've been taught concerning faith one step in front of the other where in faith and confidence towards god in truth confidence towards god is going to be based on truth well he's not going to lie he's not going to lie to you he's not going to lie to me he's not going to lie to us he's going to tell us exactly where we're at if we really listen you know and he doesn't tell us where we're at sometimes for the sake of coming down on us he tells us where we're at so we can see what we need to adjust what we need to fix what we need to strengthen you know even there's a scripture i think i don't know where it's at right now but strengthen the feeble arms you know he is a man of war he strengthens your arms for war why because we've been in the midst of the war ever since jesus put his foot on this on this earth from the time he put his foot on this earth to the time he ascended we've been in a state of war right up to then there was no state of war you know why you know why there was no state of war like it is now because the devil was not exposed there was a natural war that the devil was in but they didn't know it was the devil now we're in a war the devil is exposed in every single chapter of the bible pretty much every single letter of the bible the devil is exposed but you know what what we focus on is a god consciousness where we are working together with god with god's goods so he's exposed for the sake of god saying here's his playbook get with it now you you got everything you need you got everything you need in written form of his side now get to know my side work on my side be transformed in in the by the renewing of your mind get working with us put your hands to it and you're gonna see the supernatural happen because god says that he confirms his word he doesn't confirm our experiences he doesn't confirm what we say because we want to say it that way he confirms his word amen okay so now let's get back to this john 17. i hope you're prepared for a lot of scripture because and at the end before we dismiss i'm going to give you an assignment if you're willing to take it i can't force you to do the assignment but i can tell you right now that if you do the assignment you will be better for it you will be more mature at the end of the assignment you will be more you will be stronger in mind your mind will be disciplined to see things better you know you at least will start that way and then you have to keep it going you know we can't keep it going for you you have to keep it going you know and you know we train in florida we train people we train them we truly train them they know they're right here they can tell raise your hand raise your hand okay okay so go see them and they'll tell you because i'm not the only one that can tell you about training they can tell you about training too um and you know we can't live with people you know and i know when somebody's winging it you know i know it because i know what it takes to get up and to to speak the oracles of god to speak the truth of god and really have it in you you know i've been trained that way since 2014. it's awesome you know i spent 18 20 years you know trained to just the fluff you know oh yeah that was good that was good and when you get here it's like fire you know that emoji with a fire thing and the explosive thing that's the one i share with that's my favorite one forget the smiley faces i'm like fire the one with the with the arm like this the one with the fist bump and like yeah that's what's going on right because you know you have to be what you want to attract if you want to attract people that are like-minded and strong in the things of god you have to be that if you're going to make excuses for it you're going to hang around the people that are making excuses you have a choice everybody has a choice we all have a choice all right and so the choice is you know am i going to be am i going to be weakened or am i going to be strengthened you know do you see how simple this gets though when you start really thinking about it there are certain words that the holy spirit is attracted to one of those words is truth another of those words is diligence doesn't it say in timothy i think it's first timothy 2 15 doesn't it say um be diligent a diligent worker you're diligent workers you're here at a seminar taking notes talking to people receiving don't let that go to nothing don't go back home and say oh that was a good seminar wow when is he gonna do number three no don't do that no that's baby talk that's childishness you're among the mature you know what we say man we got to transcribe this we got to write this down we got to rewrite it we got to look at our notes we got to go we got to go order the tapes we got to listen to this over and over again and see what we missed you know make sure that we get it all make sure that we understand it all make sure that scripture is what you know the scripture is what we know about what we're saying like when you d when you say the principles the four principles of the dht you you should know the scriptures that back up those principles because we didn't just put those principles together for nothing i mean not we hit you know brother curry and stuff in the dht he didn't just put those principles together out of you know out of the air he got it from the word of god you have to know where in the word of god is that found and in context we have the habit of not just reading one scripture like i just wanted to read one scripture from proverbs but i read what was around it so you can get where it's coming from and where it's going when you read the scripture you have to know where it's coming from and where it's headed and where's the key scripture right so you can't just read one little scripture put it on a pillow and think you got it like people do they take one little scripture put it on a pillow and they address that they put that scripture to everything in life um no no in context that doesn't make any sense so i'm going to read to a scripture to you now in context okay this scripture is a scripture that brother curry quoted during the last three days as in john 17 17. but in context i'm going to show you a little bit more about this about truth about everything about who you are in christ about who christ is in you if you're looking for who i am in christ who christ is in me and what truth is doing you're going to realize that this says it this says a lot so starting in verse 16 look what it says they are not of the world just as i am not of the world we agree to that okay so jesus said this it was in red letter jesus said this so these are words we need to pay attention to okay it says sanctify them by your truth you know if he would have said that and just ended there and moved on it would have been like okay anybody can define what truth is but he didn't he made it very clear look what he says your word is truth what did jesus say about himself i am the truth the life and the way right he is the truth your word is truth what does the bible say to us in corinthians to the baby church beholding us in a mirror the glory of the lord we are transformed into that image what image the word the word made flesh into his image right and so it says here as you sent me into the world i also have sent them into the world how did god send jesus to the world one with a mission to with truth how do i know that i'll show you in a minute but he was born and he was brought into this world for the sake of truth all right let's keep going and for their sakes i sanctify myself that they also may be sanctified by the truth now that's the way see that's the way a worker a good worker a good doer looks at it for your sake i sanctify myself i am god did it god sanctified me in the spirit but i sanctify my soul for the sake of what i want to be doing for the sake of what i want to be speaking and that's when the rubber meets the road that's when you know really does god have a disciple or does he just have a hearer does he just like does he does he just have somebody that likes to hear and participate in seminars and do the little thing do the little dance or does he have a disciples does he have the attention of a son because if he has the attention of a son this is what you're gonna do you are going to separate yourself more and more and more to do the things that god once done and it's all in the doing watch it says i do not pray for these i'm in verse 20. i do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in me that's you and i all right so he took this into the future there's a lot of scriptures in there that jesus spoke in the old in in the gospels that he took things into the future but they could not get it because they did not have the spirit of truth abiding in them so what happened what happened with the disciples this is why you don't identify with them because they were they were double-minded in that sense you know they couldn't be firm settled they couldn't settle things why because they would re they would see something they would receive the truth and then all of a sudden they would turn around go into the next thing that jesus wanted done and they couldn't even meet meet him where he was at why because they were forgetful listeners they would go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth you know and so jesus had to speak things into the future for us to get today and anything you know since the scripture was written all right so they they were not able to carry it all out but guess what we are because we have the abiding spirit we are able to start carrying the fullness of everything he wants we are able we are the army of god we are his movement you know when you go to when you go to places and circles and christian circles or whatever and they tell you oh we're waiting for the next move oh god i go nice to meet you what are you wait you waiting for who the winner i am the next move of god you you oh you've never heard of me oh you you need to know what we're doing because we are the next move of god that's what we're doing we're moving god into this world amen so you have to look at yourself and say i am the next move of god i don't care what they're saying out there i know what we are the truth tells me i'm going to stand with the truth at all cost you know i'm not going to believe the lies you know and and if anything you run them in circles if they don't want to get it you just run them in circles with what the truth says and then just move on and do like jesus said you really really you're gonna throw me over the precipice really you're gonna do that and he knew the truth he goes i have to live i had a lot of things to do this is not gonna happen they didn't believe it they they got caught up in the lie and the light took them right to the precipice where did he go that's going to be you you're going to run them in circles with the truth and then you're just going to keep moving and they're like wait wait did our argument finish where did they even go i'm busy i don't have time for this you know i'm the little okay in the hurricane in the hurricane like brother curry is talking about there's tornadoes sometimes you have to bring out a tornado okay tornado card keep going you know because my the piece moves peace moves peace doesn't peace moves okay by what i see in the word peace doesn't settle down and sit peace moves i don't see a hurricane saying you know well it might for a little bit it make but it keeps moving and peace goes with it right the inner circle because that's what drives everything around it that's our life get used to it your life is that everything around you is going nuts but you you keep moving for bringing the strength you keep bringing the damage except that it's not damaged to a world is damaged to the kingdom of darkness your hurricane is damaging and tearing up the kingdom of darkness and making light everywhere you go making that light shine making that light come everywhere you go amen right so here in verse we're in verse 21 that they may well let's let's do 20 again i do not pray for these alone but also for those who will be believing in me through your word through their word whose word the word of those that had the truth now you see that in the new testament peter attest to this paul attest to this john attested this we were witnesses we have the truth we're sharing it with you don't believe these judaizers don't believe these other people believe me because i'm sharing what god gave us entrusted to us it says that they all may be one as you father and one as you father are in me and i am in you now i know i added that but it's in there they're one right god is in him he isn't god that's the way it works for us he is in us we are in him see that's the thing you can't think oh he's in me and that's it no no i'm in him there's a collaboration there's a workmanship there there is a a you know joining forces the bible says in 1st corinthians 6 17 he who is joined to the lord is one spirit with the lord now one spirit with the lord to you you have to see it like okay when it says one spirit with the lord i don't compartmentalize this and say one spirit i'm one spirit with the lord i got everything he's got okay right yeah but you you're connected to other sources of your life which is your soul and your body and your heart brings it all together so you're one spirit with the lord that means that you're going to let the lord influence you the most you're not even going to let me influence you the most unless what i'm speaking comes from father comes from spirit comes from truth and you can attest to it and say okay you know i need to be influenced by this person because they are of the truth first peter 4 11 says you know if you're going to speak the oracles of god if you're going to speak the word of god you better be speaking as god would speak that puts you in a mold of transformation what's the transformation i'm not going to speak anything that god wouldn't speak i'm not going to speak it now do you get caught in that okay repent quickly change your mind and move to speaking what god is speaking you know close the gap on those incidents see it's not sin see oh my gosh i can take off on this the sin issue we've been dead to sin and alive unto god we're supposed to serve righteousness in order to serve righteousness we have to be diligent we have to be about the business of truth we have to be about the business of knowing what god wants what is his will ephesians five it says you need to be wise and know the will of god know it you know you don't need to put a seminar here's the will of god no no no just give me a bible i know the will of god and you know what nowadays you better get the bible in you the word in you because this is why i'm bringing out the truth because what i'm seeing in the world is that they're trying to rewrite it they've been trying since jesus brought out the word of the new testament you know why because the devil looked at it says oh wow they're writing letters now this is going to get around so they started it in the beginning it wasn't just now it's not just now it just has escalated because of the times that we're living but they're trying to rewrite it they're trying to change the intent of what god put there and god gave us you need to challenge all those things you need to know that you that you have the truth amen okay so it says here and you can keep reading this you know it goes on to say he's in us we we're together they're together i pray for them because they need to be together with us so that they can properly represent us all right now we're gonna move on to the next scripture let's go to first timothy chapter two i don't stress easily but i get a little stressed sometimes with the time i i can't wait to be in heaven where there's no time um okay so first timothy chapter two there are a couple of things that i do want to say before we before we leave okay when you go when you look at the truth you're gonna see two things happening in the new testament okay you're going to see those that are those writings from paul peter john you're going to see those things that they said concerning truth that you have to be about and then they're going to give you warnings there's two things that happen the the the teaching of the truth the the strengthening of the truth and then the warning against the lies the warning against those that defy the truth that don't want to obey the truth there are people that do not they plain do not want to obey the truth read romans one and two chapter chapters one and two you're gonna see that the whole aspect of that right is that why they're giving to those things is because they do not want to obey the truth people say oh why did he send a delusioning spirit why does god do this no god doesn't do this he removes himself and they are deluded right he they are deluded because they do not want to obey the truth there is not a one in them god cannot control the heart of people that's where the will is god can't control you can't control the will of people you know i've had to tell people not everybody but a couple of people in my lifetime you don't will what i want so we can't have a relationship i can't be your discipler when the day you will what i want will come together see what i'm saying and don't you think if that could happen at a natural level us that there are people that don't want him does he push himself on them no he removes and when you remove god when you totally remove god out of the picture what do you get total darkness chaos confusion you know dead works evil so it doesn't surprise us the things that are in the world it shouldn't surprise us what we should look when we look at the things of the world we should say i'm standing up against it and i'm going to be the light i'm going to be the truth i'm going to be the voice that god needs against those things and i'm going to train up people around me to be just as strong and just as able to stand up to it as well so that i'm not alone so that god's you know purposes on the earth are being brought forth amen so it says here in uh ii timothy i mean first timothy two starting in verse three it says for this is good and acceptable in whose sight in the sight of god our savior right it says who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth he desires that well i desire right now to have a hot fudge sundae but it's not here you know he desires that this happens well i really don't desire that right now but maybe a coffee maybe a coffee coffee latte um anyways okay he desires that but it's not always what what happens what how does he desire for men to to not perish and be saved through what through the knowledge of the truth right now i i had a lady to come up to me and talk to me about you know um confronting a buddhist and and stuff like that and i'm like you know you have to stand by the truth you you stand by this so just don't talk religiously to them when you're talking to people out there don't be religious don't use religious words talk sense ask to make it so that they think because knowledge requires thinking to have a knowledge of something requires thinking you know and so the truth is that jesus came into the world the truth is that it's not only written in the bible it's written in other books it's written in roman literature it's written in greek literature you know the truth is he did come into the world now the question that i ask you do you know why he came into the world i'll tell you why he came into the world if you read a story and if you're bold enough and not scared this is what i would tell somebody because i don't know i don't know much about buddhism i don't know much about all the religions so i don't you know i know the truth i know the genuineness so i'm trying to make sense with that what do i say to them well you know look into it if you really really this is an eternal thing people you know i'll tell them this is an eternal thing you want to look into it before you make the final decision yeah your little your little thing may be working for you now but is it going to work for you when you die and move on you need to pay attention to that because there is a heaven and there is a hell and there is choices that you have to make while you're on the earth you have to make choices and those choices have to be based on truth if you're going to go into eternal life so be careful with that investigate thoroughly quickly and good and strongly make sure that you got your facts straight so that's what i would that's the common sense that i would bring to that person because i have no idea what they're thinking because i don't know anything about that so i would just try to bring them to common sense to start thinking so that they can pursue truth amen okay so it says here got a lot okay listen quickly because i got two minutes to say a lot of stuff i haven't even gotten to the middle on my first page okay okay so here we go i'm in verse five for there is one god and one mediator between god and men the man jesus christ now i have to move on i can't continue reading you continue reading that chapter actually read the whole chapter read the whole the whole book of timothy first and second timothy it's just awesome now i already quoted this one um let's go to second timothy chapter two real quick second chimney chapter two this one is really good brace yourselves this one is so good i love the word of god don't you love the word of god you know that's ought to be your declaration too look lord i love your word i'm gonna be about your word your word impresses me your word just just changes me your word is light it's life i love it you know i can't get enough of it i want to hear it i want to devour it in my spare time i want to be talking to you about it you know love the word of god that way you know love love the word of god more than you love anything love the word of god have a relationship with the word of god amen but rightly divided in truth in context not finding fault now going into the old testament without your new testament goggles or glasses you know make sure that you have you know the the when you're looking at things and then the answers are you'll have more answers and questions when people come to you with questions you have some more answers you you be confident with that why because god is in me he reveals himself to me i read amen okay so here it says we're going to read from verse 11 through 19 it says this is a faithful thing for if we died with him we shall also live with him if we do the bible says time and time again to those who endure to the end oh my gosh i got one second okay um oh gosh okay if we endure we shall also reign with him you know a person doesn't reign in weakness double mindedness and all that other stuff a person reigns knowing stuff knowing things rightfully with the people in mind with goodness for the people look you have to realize all you have for people is goodness it's truth it's light is righteousness don't ever back off don't let fear get you in between you and the people that you're supposed to be ministering to fear of of speaking fear or failure feel a fear of all those things that's getting in the way of your calling get it out of the way say no no no i don't pay attention i'm gonna i'm gonna try this then at least try it just go for it give it some time too give it two three months don't just say oh two days it didn't work i'm not no it needs time you need time with this stuff okay keep going keep going i don't want to get into leadership because then i'll really oh my gosh okay if we deny him he will also deny us if we are faithless he remains faithful why because he's the constant the constant if they fail you're not gonna fail if they are weak you're gonna be strong if they don't get it you're gonna get it right you stay faithful right he cannot deny himself and that's what you can say to people too i've learned to say what he says about himself i cannot deny what i have received i cannot deny what i have been given can't deny that so if you don't like this i can't deny it amen now listen i'm just going to read this and we're going to finish remind them of these things charging them before the lord not to strive about words to no prophet gossip is in there you know sitting around talking about stuff that don't matter okay to the ruin of the hearers ruin you we ruin people when we go in that direction be diligent to present yourself approved of god a workman who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth this is the word of truth know how to rightly divide it word of truth now you can go on reading because they're talk it's just so awesome because it talks about um you know if you're going to be in truth you have to you have to depart from iniquity and these people that came they violated the truth they mixed the truth with other things that's why we're so strict on our live teams we don't want mixture of other things we don't want the truth messed with amen and so anyways i'm going to put on the board i don't know if you could if you is it on there the scriptures real quick okay yeah that's how we train listen go home and read those scriptures in that order these scriptures contain context it contains the context of what i was going to say in 45 minutes actually you know and i think i said some of it in there but it contains the context of truth you're going to find in there that my one of my favorite ones is john 18 where jesus said jesus told pilate you know for this cause i was born i was born to testify of the truth all right he says he was born to testify of the truth and then pilate says what is truth and you know what's funny if you read later he says i don't find any fault with this man at all he spoke truth and he didn't even know what it was he had to say that i have i have no i find no fault with this man right and so if you read that you're gonna it's gonna all connect together so take this home read it spend some time with it and there's your training that's how we train we use the word so bless god i'm done and on 9 50 you still got 10 minutes to take a break i had more but some other time sorry sorry sorry not sorry [Laughter] all right well and is it any wonder that their region is exploding so that's some good stuff is it not well yeah but now that was some good stuff and what we're doing and we're going to print those out and then hand them out to you so you can have them so that way i know you took pictures but at least you'll those of you that didn't take pictures you can get the hand out now we're going to take a real quick about and at 10 o'clock be right back in here and be seated in the meantime if you don't have to go far don't go far shake hands meet people around you greet them and just have fellowship in the lord amen all right god bless you we'll be back in nine minutes praise the lord good morning i just have a real quick uh request um we there's a lot of us here this morning which is awesome amen we had a conference this weekend uh and uh so a lot of us stayed over for the conference so uh we're gonna ask that you do our best that we all do our best to squeeze in real tight and if you're in the back kind of make your way forward to the empty seats so that we can accommodate everybody is that is that fair to ask yeah we had to rent some chairs so that we could hopefully uh fit everyone so please don't just sit there and look at me if there's seats next to you if there's seats in front of you please move forward um because it's really gonna help us out otherwise we're just gonna place people and have people sit next to you and and get real chummy so um so please help us by doing the right thing first and then if not then we'll make sure we find the sweatiest people and sit them next to you uh otherwise bless you and uh we'll be starting very soon thank you hey all right well good morning good morning let's take your seats we are going to get started here in just a moment got a couple of announcements maker real quick and then we will move right on into the opportunity to worship amen all right first things first things first let's see uh tuesday this tuesday june 1st uh will be my wife's birthday so amen amen now she is she's out there and coming in here but uh yeah it will be her birthday uh this tuesday and we had some other birthdays i think coming this week but i don't have them listed here possibly they will have those for you now very quickly wanted to announce also if you have not downloaded the jglm app please do so that is one of the ways we will be able to remain in contact even if certain other platforms decide not to continue allowing us to share the jjli map will allow us to continue to bring truth to you now and before i go too far well actually it's right here uh tomorrow is memorial day and on memorial day in 1989 my daughter rebecca was seven years old and that's when she fell from the window and was dead for 45 minutes and so tomorrow is the anniversary of that event so it's always a big deal to us whenever we remember back and see her now and now uh she was seven years old when that happened and now she has a seven-year-old herself amen and so amen now very quickly also uh just kind of a thing to think about you know runners like marathon runners when they run they don't focus on the other runners because they focus on the finish line if they focus on the other runners and how the other runners are running for instance the other runner has a strange uh stride a different way of doing things if the runner starts looking at that stride it'll mess up their own stride and they end up tripping and falling that's something to remember why because the enemy will always try to divide and one of the ways he does that is he tries to get you to look at the other runner's stride don't focus on the other runners focus on your race focus on doing what god has called you to do and move forward in doing that and the enemy always loves to try to separate you isolate you because when you're isolated and separated you are an easier target it's always good to have people around you to help you move forward now next very quick september september 1st will be a wednesday and starting september 1st that wednesday and thursday we are starting a month-long healing campaign we will be going monday through thursday every evening from 6 p.m to 8 p.m now the way we're we'll be doing that like i said monday through thursday now if god does something in the middle of that and we have to expand it or whatever we need to do we can also do that but that will be the start of it and that will be we will go through the month of september it is basically at this point we're just saying it's going to be healing for everyone and the idea is that we get everyone that comes healed and so jesus healed them all and we want healing for everyone and so we're going to be emphasizing this now i'll be doing some teaching we're going to have leaders come in from all over to do some of the teaching uh we have not discussed it in full yet of course with marie and johnny but i fully expect at some point for them to be here and do some of the teaching amen and be able to share and minister and we're going to have a great time it's going to be amazing we do believe this is specifically god ordained to move in this direction and we will see where we go from there now last thing so remember put that on your calendars starting september 1st which is a wednesday we'll do wednesday and thursday and then we'll come back the next monday we will we will have church on sunday as normal but then the next monday start will go every day uh from from about six to eight pm so anybody that can come if you're going to come from out of town please contact us let us know you're coming we expect this to be pretty so if you're coming you might want to contact us ahead of time let us know when you'll be here and um but it's going to be um well i believe it's going to be something as they say it's going to be something all right now and then the last thing before moving to worship i just want to read this to you real quick uh this is something that smith wigglesworth said it says i was traveling from egypt to italy god was visiting wonderfully visiting me wonderfully on this ship and every hour i was conscious of his blessed presence a man on the ship suddenly collapsed and his wife was terribly alarmed and everybody else was panicking some said he was about to expire or die but i saw it was just a glorious opportunity for the power of god to be manifested oh what it means to be a flame of fire to be indwelt by the living christ we're in a bad condition if we have to pray for power when an occasion like this comes along or if we have to wait until we feel a sense of his presence the lord's promise was you shall receive power after that the holy ghost has come upon you and if we will believe the power of god will always be manifested when there is a definite need when you exercise your faith you will find that there is the greater power in you than that is in the world oh to be awakened out of unbelief into a place of daring for god on the authority of his blessed book and the redemptive work of christ so right there on board that ship in the name of jesus i rebuked the devil and to the astonishment of the man's wife and the man himself he was able to stand he said what is this it's going all over me i've never felt anything like this before from the top of his head to the soles of his feet the power of god shook him god has given us authority over all the power of the devil oh that we may live in the place where we realize this always and that we're completely submitted to that authority amen amen so all he's saying is live it live it know it believe it and notice he didn't go back to what he felt he went back to the authority of the book he went back to the authority of that name and that authority was what allowed him to do that he didn't have a feeling he had the word and that's what he did amen all right well let's go into worship father we thank you we do love your word we love your truth we love your name we love all the blessings that you've given us father we love you and we are so glad that you love us so father we bless you today and we say take pleasure in what takes place here today receive this worship as what it is worship in spirit and in truth the truth of your word in jesus name amen amen all right one last thing well no we're good that's it that's it i'm good all right i can just get everybody to stand to your feet and just turn to your neighbor right now lay your hands upon them and in jesus name just speak life over them speak healing and wholeness over them in jesus name peace joy happiness we thank you

wasn't that good this morning that was awesome i'm telling you i i love it when i hear a message that i immediately want to go to michael and say michael g give me a copy of that i want to i want to put it in the car when we're driving we'll listen to it and listen to it listen it's just good stuff amen and so it's good to have people in our organization that we like to listen to amen i've been in organizations where that wasn't the case so um you know we don't have to go outside generally jg lim to hear good preaching amen and not just hear good preaching but stuff that you actually grow from and actually put into action in your life and you see change and you can help others with it amen you realize all that she did up here this morning that wasn't just for you that's for you to take ends so that you could turn around and help others with it amen what goes in your ear should come out your mouth amen so now hebrews chapter 10 we are going to look at let's see what verse do i want to go to yep yep okay it says in verse we'll start at verse yeah yeah well i might as well start verse four verse four is not necessarily talking about what we're talking about but it's a good verse it says for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sin what does that tell us it's the blood of jesus amen now look at verse five wherefore when he cometh into the world he says sacrifice an offering thou wouldest not but a body has thou prepared me a body thou hast prepared me now automatically people think well yeah of course jesus came here and he was given a body and he walked with the earth and he did these things okay well turn with me to ephesians ephesians chapter 1 and we are going to look at where do i want to go with this yep verse we're going to start at verse 7 17 sorry chapter 1 verse 17 that the god now this was the prayer that paul had for the church of ephesus it's also a prayer that you could pray every day he says that the god of our lord jesus christ the father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know no what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints in other words he wants you to know the inheritance that's in you you have an inheritance in you he has an inheritance in you right something for him that has been deposited in you which you have to get out of you for it to be his inheritance in actuality or an experience and and verse 19 and what is now this is what he's praying that we would know what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the working of his mighty power hear about that that's power twice right there what power was that verse 20 which he wrought in christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places now notice this power was used and displayed when he raised him from the dead well if you think from the natural man or natural mind we would even say you would think well that was a little late and we know the power was displayed when jesus was alive but why would you wait and display all that power when he was raised from the dead after his ministry on earth was done and it's because it took that power to raise him from the dead and create a new species of being known as christians and now when he raised him up he used this degree of power and that was just to show it was the greatest display ever but it was a display of the power that is inherent in us when we are born of his spirit and have his spirit amen that's the inheritance that's in you you inherited that power when the holy spirit came in right now let's keep going and he says when he raised him from the dead and set him in his own right hand in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in this world but also in that which is to come and now look at verse 22 and hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church which is his body the church which is his body wherefore he says when he came into the world he said what you didn't want sacrifice and offering you prepared me a body with the church which is his body now we know he prepared a physical body for jesus and jesus was here in the physical body but guess what now he's here in this physical body we are the body he prepared for him from before the foundation of the world we are that body do you get that the church which is his body was prepared before the foundation of the world whenever jesus was slain as the lamb before the foundation of the world when all the works of god were accomplished in other words they were set in motion they were good as done it was counted from that time and now we're that body and we are the body of christ amen so if christ is going to do something in this world he's going to do it through his body you get that we determine how much he impacts this world so i want to talk to you a little bit about the will of god now we've talked well i mentioned that during this week during the conference because we all have a will we have the human will we have the will of god we have the will of the holy spirit there's the will of jesus himself there's the will of mankind demons have a will satan had a will he exerted his will which got him kicked out of heaven and so all of these beings have wills and sometimes we talk about the will or or will in itself we have to go back and actually look at it and determine what kind of will we're talking about because we can talk about well i will do this well just because i will do it doesn't mean it's my will to do it on a surface level now if you get down far enough you do nothing except what you actually will to do you're sitting in that chair and you can say i'm going to stand up i'm going to stand up but until you will to stand up you won't stand up so there has to be an action of the will for something to happen right so we could say all kinds of different ways and we're going to look at a couple of them as a matter of fact right here now go with me uh well yeah go with me we can go first to mark chapter three mark chapter three and while you're turning there i want you to realize two things now of course we're told to love one another we're told to love people so there's there are many things we're told to heal the sick we're told to or lay hands on the sick as we would even say it we're told different things right to do things but there are two things specifically that specifically say do this okay one is this we are told in james to be doers to do the word isn't that right that's what we do we do the word now but we're also now watch this go with me to uh mark chapter three as we said and we're going to go to verse let's see go to verse 31 there came then his brethren and his mother and standing without sent unto him calling him and the multitude sat about him and they said your mother outfit out seek for thee and he answered them saying who is my brother my mother or my brethren i mean i mean you would think well that's kind of strange i mean you don't know who your mother is i mean what's what's the deal and and here they're outside they couldn't even get in now i remember my daughter one time somebody said you know would you help me get an uh you know a chance to talk to your dad and she said you kidding me i have to make an appointment to talk to my dad well it's usually not that bad but sometimes it does kind of get hard whenever things are as busy and when there's a crowd and things like that go on it's kind of hard sometimes but usually the family can get through usually somebody you know you would think someone said oh that's america's mother and they would have made room to come through the actual the idea here if you study all the gospels together they didn't want in they thought he was beside himself his his mother and his brothers and sisters thought he was crazy think about that so it might give you an idea of why he said well who is my mother who are my brethren and then he answers that question because it says in verse 33 and he answered them saying who is my mother or my brethren and he looked round about on them which sat about him and said behold my mother and my brethren for whosoever shall do the will of god the same is my brother and my sister and my mother over and over again you're gonna see he that does the will of god shall endure forever that's the scripture now that's the the idea and so we are told to do the word now think about this we are told to do the word we are told to do his will those are the two primary things now we know we're told to love one another like i said before but the two primary things we are told to do we are told to do his will and do the word now here's the thing we do both of those at the same time why because his word is his will this is this would be the root of almost every problem people have especially if they think they have some issue with god or they think there's a you know why didn't god hear why didn't he answer why didn't he do this the answer is very simple is because they have not yet completely integrated the idea that his word is his will because they'll say well here's what the word says but then why hadn't this happened you know well it might not be his will but but the word says right there the word says lay hands on a sick and they'll recover well but i don't know if it's god's will that i recover well he can't tell me to lay hands on the sick because you're sick he didn't say which sick he just said sick that means any sick so if it's his will that i lay hands on the sick any sick and they will recover then it has to be his will that you be healed do you see the natural progression of that right so i just want to nail this down a little bit today i want to show you some scriptures and give you some things to to remember and to go over now as we look at this uh we're going to go through scripture and quite a few actually if we if we can now i also want to take you let's just to tie this up go with me to 1st john first john if i can get over there first john we're going to go to chapter 2. wow there we go first john chapter 2 and we're going to look where are we going to look here we go verse they might as well go to verse 15. love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him he's not talking about people they tell us to love people he's talking about the systems of the world the way the world does things that and even the things in the world he says for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the father but is of the world and the world passeth away and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of god abideth forever you know that he that doeth the will of god abideth forever all these other things will pass away so he said who is my brother who is my sister but he that does the will of god amen so we're told to do the will of god and we're told here to do the will of god if we do we will abide forever now go with me to romans i'm just going to take you through several scriptures kind of nail these things down and then we're going to move from that okay romans where am i going romans yeah i want to go to romans chapter eight romans chapter eight and we're going to look let's see i'm going to start about we'll start in verse 26 likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities now these infirmities that word infirmities there does not mean sickness and disease and you can tell by what it means by looking at the word because the word is the same many times but here it means it helps us when we have a lack in some area so an infirmity is not always just sickness or disease it can be but it is also a lack in any area you have an infirmity in that area right likewise the spirit also help with our infirmities for we know not what we sh what we should pray for as we are in other words we don't know exactly all the time exactly how to pray for everything that we have need of because we don't always know well be honest with you sometimes we don't even know what we have need of you know you think this is a problem in reality it's this thing over here that the problems sprung from and so but the holy spirit it says he helps our infirmities for we know not what we should pray for as we are but the spirit and the king james says itself we know the spirit is a hymn it's a he okay the spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered now watch and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of god so when the holy spirit prays for you he prays for you he prays the perfect will of god and he prays the will of god as it is because he knows what god's will is in that situation amen and he might not pray what you would pray for he goes to the root of the thing and prays for the thing that'll remove the log jam that'll let everything else flow amen people say well why do i need to pray in tongues to heal the sick no no you can do it by faith you can even do it by a gift necessarily or whatever it is but you get to pray in tongues and and it will help you in ministering to the sick but the main thing is whether it has to do with this thing or that thing the main thing about it is god wants you to receive him he wants you to speak in tongues he wants you to pray in tongues he wants you to experience tongues in its full manifestation in various ways so it shouldn't be a matter of do i have to you know that's like saying uh they're throwing you a birthday party do i have to go well if you want the gifts you might have to go right and so we we should always want everything god has for us and we should always want everything god wants us to have amen so he says that he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of god and we know that all things work together for good to them that love god to them who are the called according to his purpose now notice that now that is not saying that car wreck was for your good people say that kind of thing no it doesn't say that he's you have to take it in context in context he is talking about the holy spirit praying the perfect will of god for you and we know that what he prays amen what he prays it will always work together for your good it may not always feel good but it'll be for your good and the holy spirit will pray these things for you good so he's not talking about incidents in your life necessarily but now notice he says who is this true for here's another thing we need to realize for whom he did for no well let's go back and we know that all things work together for good to them that love god so if people don't love god everything wouldn't work together i mean automatically we can see this just in the natural thing people say well let's talk about these things that are happening well we know that wouldn't be these other things because people don't love god so things wouldn't automatically work together for their good but now when the holy spirit prays now we know that what he does he prays for those who love god amen and he prays utterings that can't or groanings it can't even be uttered then it says to them who are thee called according to his purpose for whom he did for no he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son so now we know that the prayers of the holy spirit are going to be used to conform us to the image of his son so this has really nothing to do with things it has to do with you and changes in your life in your character in your spirit in your attitude when i say in your spirit i'm talking about you know how we would say the esprit de corps you know you're someone is of good spirits right it doesn't mean in your spirit it means well like marine was talking earlier in the in the be renewed in the spirit of your mind well it's not the spirit of the mind it's not even the mind of the spirit like she said it was excellent how she brought that out it is in in essence how your mind sees things the spirit of your mind would be like this you can quote scripture you can memorize scripture you can be around people and yes well you know how's it going oh i'm blessed and highly favored and you got all this kind of stuff and then you walk outside and you say you know well i know that you know by his stripes i was healed but you know i just don't see it happening and i just don't say okay the spirit of your mind so you can be negative in the spirit of your mind or you can be positive in the spirit of your mind the spirit of your mind will will naturally cause your mind to think a certain way you ever see people it's just no matter what i don't care what's going on you know did you hear i just you know that i heard you just won the lottery yeah but you know the government's going to take 30 percent of it see that's the spirit of their mind automatically you know no matter what happens there's something negative right and so we have to realize that in talking about his will the holy spirit is working in us and praying through us that's a that's one of the main reasons why you should pray in other tongues it's just so that his will can be prayed for you i mean you say well but i'm sure he can get somebody to pray in the holy spirit for me really you want to take that chance you know look at your life does it look like somebody's praying for you you might want to pray for yourself a time or two all right just saying okay so now go with me to romans chapter 12. because what are we talking about we're still talking about the will of god right and i want to i want to narrow it down here in just a minute but in romans chapter 12 verse 1 it says i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that you present your bodies god ain't going to take you and make you present your body you have to willingly present your body now watch a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind why so that you may be able or that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of god so god has a will and his will is good it is acceptable and it is perfect god does not have three wills he doesn't have a good will and he doesn't have an acceptable will and he doesn't have a perfect will and i've heard all the days growing up in some different churches they used to talk well you know i may not be in god's perfect will but at least i'm in his acceptable will no his will is good it is acceptable and it is perfect so any his will now get this so if you're going to be in his will you're going to be in his perfect will and his perfect will is acceptable and his perfect will is good amen so so don't think about well i'm over here you know i'm just i may not be in this perfect will but at least i'm still in the family no he has one will now listen carefully we're gonna we're gonna have to to divide this a little bit his will he he has a will and that will i'm gonna i'll give you have anyone know what the will is you want to know what the will is okay i can wrap it up in a nutshell i just read it to you that you be conformed to the image of christ that is his will now now there are other plans that he has for you and he guess what his plans are good right now his will now get this his will is that you be conformed to the image of his son but now he has plans now his plans can be for you to be a store clerk a car salesman or different things those are plans that will help you but his will even in all his plans is going to direct you toward being conformed to the image of christ right so if you're in a an industry where the industry is known to be you know uh not have much integrity then his plan for you there is to be conformed the image of christ and bring christ into that and bring integrity into that industry right but now i understand this and and the thing is his plans change they can change there are seasons right there are seasons of his plans most people have a season of preparation and then whenever they start to walk out what they were preparing for that season changes and many times the job will change the place where you're located will change where you live will change things will change based on it now but now notice his plans for this time is this and then but now that plan leads up to this plan and now it's a new plan right but it's still in his will of his will of conforming you to the image of christ does that make sense now watch because we're going to go forward with this in um go with me to yeah go with me to ephesians back to ephesians ephesians chapter 6 and we're gonna start here at about verse six and the only reason i'm not reading more in context is just for the sake of time because if you go back too far you have to read the whole book and we just don't have time but in ephesians 6 and verse 6. now watch this well we will have to go back to verse 5. servants be obedient to them that are your masters okay and and believe it or not that could be translated to employees right be obedient to them that are your employers okay it's kind of the same thing we could go there and that'd be a whole sermon by itself be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh masters according to the flesh right with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart as unto christ not with eye service in other words don't just do what they want you to do whenever they're watching you right as men pleasers but as the servants of christ doing the will of god from the heart you hear that you can now understand now in their time they were talking about slaves servants and they had masters and he said slaves servants do what your masters tell you and do it with with all your heart do this thing but now notice he says do it with well well yeah as servants of christ so what he what your master tells you to do you're doing your master's will okay your employer as we would say today you're doing his will but you're doing it as to christ right and you're doing the will of god from the heart so now you doing the will of your employer i understand if it's you know godly and not you know sinful or whatever it is unethical then you are doing the will of god in that situation why because that's conforming you to the image of christ you say how is that happening you're learning to obey you're learning to obey to be obedient you're learning to be how to submit even sometimes when you don't want to do certain things right and so he goes on now notice verse 7 with good will doing service as to the lord and not to men now if you do it as to men without as he said with eye service being men pleasers then you only get the credit of whatever they see you do but if you do it as unto him then even what your boss doesn't see you do you get credit with god as doing the will of god because you're being obedient and promotion comes from god not your boss amen there was a story i heard just recently there was a a person a woman that went to work at a company and they were notorious for not having women in higher positions and she knew that where she was at she would never really be promoted and she had a boss that was apparently the culture was kind of anti-women and so she had a boss that was derogatory and you know kind of harsh toward her and kind of treated her because we would say country to like dirt you know just you know used her basically told her what to do washed around that kind of stuff and so she was praying and god said i put you there she said god i want to quit i want to go no i'll put you there. and she said god but look how i'm being treated he said i put you there and so she stayed she and he said do it as unto me and she said okay i'm going to get him out of my mind i'm going to do it as unto you and she started working and just kind of put her head down did the job and lo and behold shortly after that her boss took an early retirement and now now get this the only now he was the only person that knew how to work a certain machine but because she worked right next to him she knew how to work it too nobody else knew how to work it so when he retired she had to be promoted and she got put in his place and then she was there now notice what she did whenever she got in that place she hired other people men and women she taught them how to work the machine she didn't hide it see he didn't he hid it because he didn't want somebody to replace him but she taught everybody in her department how to work the machine and their department started to really produce and made the company a lot of money and right after that the vice president decided to take an early retirement and she got put in the position of the vice president why because her department had so prospered they said we want her over more of the company why because she worked as unto the lord and not as unto the guy that treated her bad now think about that promotion doesn't come from people it comes from god and if the people in your company or wherever you're at won't promote you god can promote you out of the company to another company that they are looking for people that work as under the lord they don't know that it might not be in the job description but if you do that you will get promoted in that area amen so now but she worked as unto the lord now in uh let's see what i want to go yep let's go to the next one we'll just run through these colossians chapter 4. now you will notice how many different books we're going to what does that mean that means that the will of god is talked about in every book why well because first off the will of god is the word of god amen god cannot give a word that is not his will do you understand that in that situation now that doesn't mean that he always wanted everything to happen the way it happened but if he gave a word about that then it had to happen that way because the people would not change or would not do something or that was the only thing he could do so in that case it was his will do you realize that when the law was in effect the law was his will why because of who he was dealing with but it was to bring us to christ which is his will amen so he he cannot give a word that's not his will right that's why he always said things like if you do this i'll do that right because he couldn't do it if they didn't do that they had to get into a position where he could bless them okay see god can't bless sin so he had to tell them if you will obey me come out from among them touching on things all that he said if you obey me then i can bless you why because his will is to bless and then people say well i'm a christian you know i walked down the aisle i shook the preacher's hand why don't i get blessed uh because you're not a christian you walked down the aisle and you shook a preacher's hand you know i could train a dog to do that amen i mean come on you can train a dog to shake isn't that right that doesn't make the dog christian right so you have to realize it's he that does the will of god and when you do the will of god you walk in a place where god can bless amen so colossians chapter 4 and we're going to go to uh we'll go to 12. we're going to start at 12. epaphras who is one of you a servant of christ salute you always laboring fervently for you in prayers that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of god hear that so god's will obviously would be that you stand perfect and complete in all the will of god amen now listen you have to realize god's will is not a tightrope amen his will is this word now sometimes you walk more in it than others sometimes you obey better than others sometimes you might stray a little bit over here right when when you don't fulfill the word when you're not doing his will that kind of thing but his will is not a tightrope where oops i'm out oh i stepped over i didn't realize that i didn't realize i'm out of the will of god no you don't get out of the will of god unknowingly you step out do you get that and by the same token you step in by being obedient to the word of god because his word is his will right well i just don't know god's will no the bible says that his will the knowledge of his will has been put in our heart and that we are not to be foolish but to know the will of god and he's put that will in us and he puts that in us when we get born again now admitted many times our head is so full of other stuff that we don't know the will even though we know the will and so we have to have our minds renewed to the will so that we can also know the will so that we can walk out the will that makes sense okay now and again go with me to first thessalonians chapter four we're already there might as well just go page or two over first thessalonians chapter four starting in verse three yeah for this is the will of god even your sanctification that means to be separated from that which is wrong and bad to be separated unto god right so the will of god is that you separate yourself from whatever is not of god and that you separate and sanctify and make holy and consecrate yourself to god to do his will you got that so this he tells right here this is the will of god your sanctification now sanctification is also closely and even uh by the word itself is connected to holiness so his will is that you live holy not that you just be made holy in spirit but that you live the holy in your flesh that your spirit has been made when you get born again right you're to live holy amen he talks about in true holiness we have been recreated in righteousness and true holiness and that true holiness means your outside looks like your inside you ever see some people well you know but i mean i know he did this i know he did that but you know deep down he's a good man yeah real deep real dead you got to dig real deep to find the good part right and so you need to realize that what is inside needs to be on the outside and that's exactly what it talks about in romans when he tells you have your minds renewed to the word of god that that he said don't be conformed don't let the world shape you don't be conformed to this world but be transformed that's like a butterfly as we know from the word picture that let what is inside you be seen on the outside that you be metamorphosed okay and that you be changed and that change that means that you're if you were made holy inside it's going to come on the outside if it ain't on coming out on the outside you might want to check what's on the inside amen because we're not talking about church membership we're talking about true holiness and being recreated all right now so ephesian now i'm sorry first thessalonians look go with me to well let me read the rest of it for this is the will of god even your sanctification that you should abstain from fornication that's pretty blunt right and he's writing to the thessalonians and telling them uh okay god wants you to be sanctified he wants you to separate yourself from what the people around you are doing that's why it's important that you surround yourself with good people again like marie was saying this morning that it's not just a matter of people oh yeah i've heard that oh yeah i you know no being with like-minded people you have to find people are like-minded let me tell you i said this the other day a while back and people got a lot as soon as i said it was like you know like they couldn't believe i said it man let me tell you i would rather be around a positive center than a negative thing because positive centers are fairly easy you know to change around and if they're positive now i'm not talking about positive in their sin okay i'm talking about i'm talking about the mindset of just being positive you know because you can you can work with that it's easier to work with that than it is take a negative mindset and try to get them to turn around you know god wants you well well he might not you know and then you tell a sinner you know well god wants you well oh thank really man that's awesome i believe it why yeah i mean i i try my best you know and i mean if i was god i'd heal me i mean come on you know you know you know and you might have to calm him down a little bit and go way way way right now might have to work on you with some some humility but uh but i'd rather hang around that than the negative you know naysayer right i said that and people got shocked right it just means you hadn't been around enough christians like himself so first thessalonians chapter five go to chapter five and we're going to look at about verse yep 18. birthday no i love thessalonians here too because well verse 15 he says see that none render evil for evil unto any man but ever follow that which is good both among yourselves and to all men and then he gives a list of just good advice just good ways to live he says rejoice evermore man just spend your time rejoicing right pray without ceasing stay in contact with god don't make a phone call once a day and hang up right just stay in contact just live in communion with him right now watch verse 18 in everything in everything in not for everything give thanks what for this is the will of god for will of god in christ jesus concerning you this is the will of god what that in everything in every situation you give thanks to god not for it right oh i heard you got diagnosed with this disease yes thank god for the disease i just thank god no no that's you can't okay you can't thank him for something he didn't do you can thank him in something heard you got diagnosed with a disease yes you know what thank god by his stripes i'm healed i thank god that he provided jesus way before i ever even got sick i mean he made the provision i don't know why they don't call it pre-vision instead of provision but it's preview i guess you know pro is okay but he made the provision before i ever needed it you know thanks be unto god so you can thank him in something without thanking him for that thing right i mean you see some christians there were christians on television you know a couple of years ago i saw him well okay there were church people on television let me rephrase that there were church people on television and whenever they were doing funerals for the veterans these people out there had the signs you know you god killed you because you are this and you were wrong and you did this thing and they were out there and these are people supposedly representing christ now think about that that that's not how christians are supposed to do right where at the very least you comfort right you don't stand there and blast people god did this to you god's doing this to teach you a lesson god's doing this to show you no no no at least you know if you're going to say god say which one the god of this world maybe you know he did it but still all right so first thessalonians 18 in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ jesus concerning you so you notice i'm giving you scriptures here that i'm telling you what god's will is so when you leave here you can't say you don't know what god's will is you know it's god's will for you to abstain from fornication and that his will for you is your sanctification isn't that right we know that his will for you is that your mind be renewed to the word of god so that you can prove his will right so all these things when he says something and and you know uh that for this purpose was the son of god manifested it might destroy the works of the devil well if he was manifested for that purpose then guess what god's will is that the works of the devil be destroyed it's real simple right yeah and i mean it's amazing how simple it is and how at what length people have gone to to twist it all up if you just read what it says it's pretty amazing so we'll go next to hebrews hebrews chapter 10 back to hebrews hebrews chapter 10. and we're going to look at well yep okay we will look at verse oh let's see let's look at verse 35 cast not away therefore your confidence what does that mean keep your confidence don't cast it away keep it right which has great recompense of reward your confidence has great recompense of reward you hear that just you having confidence obviously in god in the truth has great recompense of reward and he says for you have need of patience that after you notice read this along with me if you want to even out loud i don't care after that you have done the will of god you might receive the promise do you hear that now notice the order you get that notice this order that is here number one confidence confidence what that after you have what done the will of god so the first step there is doing the will of god then you will because you're going to develop patience now notice the patience you have to do the will of god and notice when you do the will of god sometimes the promise is an instant you do the will of god and you keep the confidence and you develop patience that after having done the will of god you will get the reward you will get the promise amen so first you have to have confidence right that if you do the will then the promise will come so you have the confidence and then you do the will then patience which is not putting up with and you know oh when's it going to happen no patience the word patience literally means consistency so he says once you've done the will of god be consistent and you'll receive the promise the promise comes after you do the will of god most people want the promise first well god when you prosper me i will tithe sorry you got that backwards right so why because first you do the will of god then the promise comes and the you doing the will proves you believe god and you trust him and then the promise will come so and you need the patience of consistency meaning that you don't do the will of god and then when you don't turn around and see it right then you don't stop and go well i guess it ain't working well i guess that part ain't true like we ripped that page up that didn't work okay you just threw away your confidence why because you did not let patience have its work in you you have to be consistent once you have done the will of god do you get that now so he says for you have need of patience verse 36 that after you have done the will of god you might receive the promise now watch it says for yet a little while and he that shall come will come and will not tarry now the just shall live by faith but if any man any person draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him why because the only way you can please god is through faith you know that but we are not of them who draw back unto perdition you know where they didn't walk away remember if you were here yesterday remember we're in the book of hebrews and we're talking about this was written specifically at that point two hebrew christians that had come to christ and now they had gone back under the law back to the temple to do these things because they didn't see things happening real quick and so they just kind of fell away they drew back unto perdition in many cases but we are of them that believe to the saving of the soul notice believe to the saving of the soul so there is a a process of your soul being saved what's that called renewing the mind the more your mind is renewed with the word of god the more your soul is saved do you get that now i'm not saying if your mind isn't renewed and you die then you know your spirit's going to go to god and your soul is going to go to hell i'm not saying that okay but your soul is saved saved means to be protected it means to be delivered it means to be put on the right footing so to speak right so now notice here also we're going to go just a couple more verses actually uh we're going to go to first peter first peter chapter 2 and we're going to start about verse 12. yeah now let's start in verse 11. that's a good verse dearly beloved i beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lust which war against the soul do you see that having your conversation your lifestyle that's what conversation means in the old english it meant your lifestyle okay having your lifestyle honest among the gentiles that whereas they speak against you as evildoers they may by your good works which they shall behold glorify god in the day of visitation so they're going to call you an evil doer but if you maintain and you do what you're supposed to do then they will see your good works now we know that when we do our good works we're supposed to do our good works and that they will be done and men shall see our good works and glorify god isn't that what jesus told us well here he says that the gentiles the people will see your good works right and they're going to glorify god in the day of visitation notice peter's just saying the same thing jesus said he said submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the lord's sake whether it be to the king as supreme or unto governors or as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers you hear that for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of them that do well for so is the will of god that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men by well-doing you got that as free and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness but as a servant of god he says honor all men love the brotherhood fear god honor the king amen this is the way we are to live on our daily life now go with me next yes i'm going to go go with me to john chapter 5. we're going to start winding it up here and tie it all together what i'm doing you right now i'm backing you into a corner where there's no escape [Applause] okay john chapter 5 verse 29. and shall come forth they that have done good unto the resurrection of life and they that have done evil under the resurrection of damnation he says i can of mine own self do nothing as i hear i judge and my judgment is just because i seek not mine own will but the will of the father which has sent me you hear that he said i judge my judgment is just because i don't seek my own will i seek the will of god that's in me the father that's in me right he's now watch this go with me now notice the difference here jesus said jesus himself notice this he said i do not seek my own will but the will of him that sent me jesus had his own will his will was not separate now i understand his will it was separate from god's but meaning his ability to will right do you get that and we know that in the garden he said lord let this cup pass from me nevertheless not my will but your will so we know that they had separate will abilities but jesus had submitted his will to the point where he would do the will of god even though he didn't feel like it jesus didn't feel like oh yes blasphemous jesus didn't feel like doing the will of god uh yeah i said he was tempted in every manner just like us okay and every temptation you face is a temptation to do or not do the will of god that's what it comes down to you see that sick person in the grocery store and you decide uh you know you know i don't have to go i i i i'm you know i'm kind of tired with time i need to go here and do this okay you're making a decision for or against the will of god why because the will of god is that that person be free that's the will of god and the will of god is that you do it now if you don't maybe maybe somebody else will be there that god can move on and that we'll see it and be able to go do it but okay let me just ask you this how many people how many of you are dht's okay so you've been to the dht you've seen the dht you've heard it if you go home and you go to let's say a walmart right and who knows how many people are in there how many other people do you think are in there that have seen the dht right probably not right why so that means that more than likely you might be the only jesus they see do you understand what i mean by that i'm not saying you're the only christian but you might be the only one that knows that it is your right and responsibility to bring freedom to that person there may be other christians in there that that look at and say oh isn't that pitiful wow i wonder what the lord is trying to teach him i mean come on that's that's the typical teaching among christians isn't it you might be the only person that knows it is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt god's will to get that person free that might be their only chance god might have awakened them and said get to walmart why because he knew when you were going and here they're walking around and they may not even have a reason to be there but their reason for being there is because you were going to be there and then you may not even do what you were sent there to do you know you start at the last minute well i need to run by the walmart and grab this and i'm just in and out i'm in a hurry i got to hurry already and you're missing the divine appointment that god set up just for you think about that okay we'll move on now real quick in jeremiah 29 11 what does he tell you and i know the plans i have for you plans of good not of evil do you hear that god's plans are good and not evil that word that he spoke to jeremiah was his will his will is that his plans for you are good and not evil he does not will evil for you do you get that so no evil that tries to come upon you can be his will do you get that okay the only suffering that is his will is for you to suffer doing good and possibly being persecuted for it you get that why his will in that sense that suffering that you would get from that that's the only because he talks about suffering according to the will of god it's not talking about suffering sickness or disease it's talking about suffering from persecution because that's the one thing that jesus promised us as believers right so we shouldn't be surprised when it happens now so if god's will is that he has plans for us that are good and not evil right well now let's look at this go with me to acts the book of acts and we're going to go to acts chapter 10 acts 10 okay there we go and let's go to verse 30. and cornelius said four days ago i was fasting until this hour and at the ninth hour i prayed in my house and behold a man stood before me in bright clothing and said cornelius thy prayer is heard and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of god now notice at this point cornelius was not born again why because the angel that stood there said go here find this man peter and he will tell you how to get saved so cornelius was not saved but an angel was dispatched to speak to him why because he was praying and he fasted and he did good things he gave alms and all these things are mentioned you know what he said he said this angel said cornelius your prayer is heard and your alms are head in remembrance in the sight of god so here's an unsaved person whose prayers were heard and the good deeds and the things that he did was in god's remembrance and was seen in the sight of god and christians think that god doesn't hear him when they pray he said sin therefore to joppa and call hither simon whose surname is peter he is lodged in the house of one simon a tanner by the seaside who when he comes shall speak unto you immediately therefore i sent to thee and thou hast well done that thou art come now therefore are we all here present before god to hear all the things that are commanded thee of god in other words here i'm telling you stories why so what have you got to say god told me to send for you and you would tell us what we need tell us talk right then peter opened his mouth and said of a truth i perceive that god is no respecter of persons but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is accepted with him how did why did peter say that because of the testimony cornelius just gave that here's a gentile unsaved praying and god heard him and he said i perceive that god is not a respecter of persons in other words god listen god doesn't care if you call yourself a christian he doesn't care what you call yourself what he cares is do you do the will of god that's what counts you can claim whatever you want bottom line is it's not what you claim it's how you live it's what you do do you get that i know we've had the idea well if you just make jesus lord and you drop dead you'll go to heaven yep i have no problem with that right some people should have i'm gonna say that anyway anyway but now notice let's put these things together if god is not a respecter of persons then the plans he has are good and they're right so he's not a respecter of persons that also means if you heal this person he'll heal that person and then you can see evidence of that in the atonement that it was for everyone amen now so we want to go one more well two more places probably in luke chapter 10 we know this because we actually read this also during the conference he said he that hears you hears me well guess what god's no respecter of persons he's not even a respecter of persons between jesus and you think about that he holds you in the same esteem do you get that that's how closely united yeah that's why jesus said paul saul why do you persecute me so i never persecuted jesus but he did persecute jesus because he persecuted jesus's body the body of christ the church right now and finally we're finally getting there go with me to matthew chapter 8. and i say finally that means the last section of scriptures matthew chapter 8 verse 1 when he was come down from the mountain great multitudes followed him and behold there came a leper and worshipped him saying lord if thou wilt if it's your will you can make me clean jesus put forth his hand and touched him saying i will be thou clean and immediately his leprosy was cleansed now notice what jesus said jesus say that he did not say be cleansed that would be a process if he said be cleansed that could be a process going on he didn't say that he said i will be thou clean what does that mean right now right now be in a state of clean you cannot be in a state of leprosy do you get that he called the end from the moment he spoke he said this is where i want you to be and this is what i'm going to give to you now amen do you get that but now notice this and if you've been through the dht you know we talked about this because the word will here is a particular word and it literally means to desire from the innermost being based on the character and nature of the person he didn't just go uh lord if you will you know if you'll do it lord if you will do it if you'll if you will you can make me clean if i can get you to do it you can make me clean that didn't what he was saying he said lord if it is your innermost desire to to heal me you can make me clean you can do it if it if it comes from in you if it's your desire this is the thing that's amazing here because i'm going to read it to you also from the uh what we would say is the literal greek it's a translation from the literal greek into uh english but it's really amazing because he says here and having come down from the mountain now this is matthew 8 1-4 roughly and having come down from the mountain great crowds followed him and behold a leper having come fell upon his knees and touched the ground with his forehead in an expression of profound reverence before him saying master in the event that you may be having a heartfelt desire you are able to cleanse me and having stretched out his hand he touched him saying i am desiring it from my heart be cleansed at once now this is again the literal greek and immediately his leprosy was cured by being cleansed away and jesus says to him see to it do not tell even one person but be going away showing your show yourself at once as evidence to the priest and offer the gift which moses enjoined as a testimony to them and the funny thing is if you read and this is actually in two other places also matthew mark or yeah matthew mark and luke so three accounts are given to this and they all said the same thing but one of them adds in this and he went away and immediately told everybody and jesus fame spread now that right there goes against some theology because people say well if you're in disobedience or you sin then you won't get healed or if you've been healed and you go into disobedience or sin you will lose your healing but jesus said don't tell anyone and immediately he went and told people and didn't lose his healing a direct disobeying of what jesus told him and that amazing so that idea of well i must have done something to make myself lose my healing no he didn't have to do anything it wasn't god taking it back it was a devil trying to make you sick again he was attacking again he attacked the first time he attacked again you just maybe didn't know how to stand right now so now notice this here's the point that i want to get to he says this over and over again actually and the point is this it is god's will it is his heartfelt desire now think about this that notice the war two words stand out here every time it's mentioned matthew mark and luke heartfelt desire okay first off heartfelt in other words inside this is the nature this is the character of jesus it's the character of god it is his heartfelt nature to want people healed right and desire now the amazing thing here is that the word desire actually says if it is your desire if it's your heartfelt desire if you want to do this you can do it and yet we're told whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe you receive them and you shall have them it goes back to the same thing and it goes back to the will what is your will about being healing i've met so many people that you would think that that would be their heartfelt desire that would be the thing they think about this is the thing they they've got to get this but i'm telling you i've met so many people that were sick and literally they acted as if it didn't matter and they didn't care if they got healed or not usually it's because of the wrong teaching they've had they've been taught well maybe not maybe and so it's almost like well why i put my hope in it well i get my hope built up because it might not happen so if god gives it to me and and then i have people that always ask me well you know i'm scheduled for surgery two days from now so you know would you pray uh you know so i don't have to go through the surgery so you're telling me that unless you see a difference you're still gonna go through the surgery and say and i'm not telling you not to do that i'm just saying you have a plan b and when you have a plan b plan a hardly ever works why because you've already made provision for the flesh to fail and so many times you have to set the things now and unfortunately many people come to me you know and sometimes just because they hadn't heard ahead of time or whatever it is but but we're the last stop on their way to the hospital sometimes they didn't know about us before but they didn't contact us or whatever it is now we help you wherever we're at and wherever you're at you know along that path but the bottom line the whole purpose of this morning is to get you to realize this is his will you don't see one place in here where jesus ever made anybody sick you don't see one place in here where he ever told a sick person sorry i only do what i see my father do and i just don't see that happening he never said that he didn't say sorry my father's working in you no instead what we see is this how god anointed jesus christ of nazareth who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil and for this purpose was the son of god manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil the reason he showed up was to destroy the works of the devil and every time he saw a sick person he saw the works of the devil smith wigglesworth when i read the story at the beginning he was on that boat and he saw this man and everybody was panicking and everybody thought this man was going to die everybody saw the man on the floor everybody saw the man about to die not wigglesworth what he saw was an opportunity for god to be glorified by the power of god and he just happened to believe the word of god that said whenever you receive the holy ghost you receive power and you can fix these situations and he believed it and then i should have read the next thing right after that because there was a quote after that and he said this it is an offense unto god to ask him for power after you have received the baptism of the holy ghost why because with that baptism with that holy spirit you receive the power of god to meet any need now the only difference there is what do you believe do you believe you act do you believe the word of god and believe you have actually received something now let me ask this how many of you have received what generally is known as the baptism of the holy spirit you speak in other tongues you know you're filled amen all right now so those of you that are that you may have an an ailment or something right now i'm telling you the holy spirit that's in you is the same one i've got and i'll be glad to lay hands on you but i'm telling you all i'm going to give you is what you already got what because he's the same there is no difference amen now the only difference between us is maybe i've seen a few more things so there would be some experience so maybe my faith in that area may have grown a little bit because i've seen him do some amazing things but i'm telling you it all goes back to you know why i see things because before i saw them i believed this if i had not believed this i would not have seen them why because you believe first and then you see and that's what wigglesworth was trying to get across he believed he didn't feel he believed and i'm telling you every one of you are miracle workers every one of you are healers of the sick why if you believe and like wigglesworth would say if you only believe right don't get all that other stuff in there only believe and if you only believe you can do the same thing for yourself that you can do for anybody else and you can do the same thing for yourself that i can do for you i can i could not tell you the number of times i have literally and this sounds kind of silly if you think about it but i've actually laid hands on myself i laid hands on my foot and to be honest with you at that point it didn't really work that great and i had to have some help but then i grew up where i could lay hands on myself and get a response so that's what you need to do that's the first thing i'll be glad to lay hands on you and i'm going to dismiss you because it is noon but we're going to dismiss you but if you need us to lay hands on we'll be glad to do so we will set you free because the bible says whoever i lay hands on they shall recover end of story right so if you come up and i say okay what can i do for you well you know do this and okay then we're gonna do that well i hope it works well now just go sit down you've already cut yourself out of it right that would be what dr sumrall would tell you so you have to decide no this is the way it's going to be we're going to lay hands you're going to recover amen now i'm glad to work with you based on the fact that you're a believer but if you want to take the role of the sick then i will take the role of the believer and i will lay hands on you and the results will be you will recover amen you got that that's pretty i know that song i don't want to admit that but i know it so amen amen do you get that okay how many let's do this first before i lay hands on you why don't we get you to lay hands on you y'all y'all want to do that [Laughter] okay now i got a plane in my head nah okay gotta get focused there okay but now so first off all right how many of you need healing let me see your hands all right so here's what we're going to do first we're going to get you now well let me say it this way how many of you that need healing you are believers well let's just stay there let's just say you're a believer okay you need healing but you're a believer okay because if you're not a believer then you need somebody to lay hands on you do you understand if you're not a believer you can't do this for yourself but if you're a believer you can do this for yourself now if you're not a believer and you need hands on it then we'll be glad to lay hand things if you are a believer and you need a slay anther we'll be glad to lay hands in right but for right now i'm talking to believers if you're a believer and you need hands laid on you to be healed you're going to do it first for yourself and then if you still need me i always want to give jesus first opportunity to deal with you directly then we're going to do that amen all right so agree with me let's agree together amen if any two shall agree it shall be done so let's agree father we thank you your word is true it's not just true it's truth so father we thank you we love your word we do it we appreciate that you have given us the opportunity to believe your word that it is an opportunity to have faith in your goodness so father in the name of jesus right now we agree together that the sick under this roof the sick watching by internet the sick that will hear this message in the future whether online or in any other format they're right now in the name of jesus by the stripes of jesus they are healed and that right now in the name of jesus father you said that believers lay hands on the sick and they shall recover so right now we lay hands on ourselves and we say i am laying hands as a believer onto a sick body and therefore this sick body shall recover in jesus name right now in jesus name amen amen isn't that simple now if you couldn't do something begin to do it and let's give jesus a chance to show you that you got healed amen and if you couldn't do it begin to do it now when you see when and you can tell that something changed let me just see your hand let me just say if there's something going on in your hand back there okay you just move around a bit yeah whatever it was you couldn't do and as you can tell you couldn't do something you couldn't do then that means you got healed amen so as you can do something you couldn't do let me see your hand let me see it you got to move around there's a hand right there you're moving around you're moving around there we go begin to move begin to move begin to do the things amen and just begin to think and begin to think it right it's by your the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony right and you can testify to these things now all right now beyond that okay next okay if you're an unbeliever you just you don't you don't know christ you've never given your life to christ you're not saved you know you're not saved people next to you probably know you're not saved where i don't know that for a fact but they might i don't know it depends on who brought you or who you came with or whatever it is but god wants to heal you why because he wants to show you how good he is he wants to show you how much jesus won victory over all the work for the devil so in the name of jesus right now in the name of jesus that name above all names that name above cancer that name above leukemia that name above hiv that name above everything right now right now everything has to bow its need to that name so right now in jesus name by the authority of the word of god i say to you be healed be healed now in jesus name amen it's just simple as that now you can even begin to move and see what god has done in your body because whatever it was that was there now many times sickness there'll be a sickness and then there'll be something else that's in a pain or something like that sometimes they're not even connected most of the time god will heal the pain to let you know that the other thing's healed too right that's just the way it works even though we didn't pray for both and you were really concerned about the one thing a lot of times he does the other thing just so you can go wow he did that then yeah of course he did that he's not going to do one leave the other right he's not going to do the lesser and leave the worse why because he's just that good amen so now if you still need ministry i'd be glad to lay hands on you my staff will put that together and we'll get you up here and we'll get you ministering but the point is this god has a will he wants you in his will and that will he has told us he has shared with us in this word this word is his will there is no separation between the will of god and the word of god amen why because jesus was the word in that right made flesh is that right and he did what he came not to do his own will but he came to do the will of the father so everything he did was the will of the father and everything in here is the word so the word and the will is the same you have to see this as god talking to you this is his will for you and that means get saved it means get filled with the holy spirit it means lay hands on the sick it means for you to receive it it means for you to give it in jesus name amen amen father we thank you your word is true it is truth we bless these people as they go we say in the name of jesus be blessed in the name of jesus god bless you you are dismissed if you need ministry my team will put it together other than that god bless you we'll see you again soon amen amen you
