Keith Moore Hungry for the Holy Spirit Pt 3 Differnet Kings of Tongues Part 2

turn with me please this evening the first Corinthians the twelfth chapter and if you didn't bring a Bible with you hold up your hand we have extra Bibles would be glad to let you use one of ours it's important that you uh you know show respect for the Bible for the word let your eyes rest on these verses and check up on me make sure I'm reading it right make sure I'm telling it right I don't care who it is if it's a politician or doctor lawyer preacher or somebody that's got degrees or his published book serves well known or unknown don't just swallow something that a man or woman tells you right you check it out you check it out by the Holy Word of God how much then this is the standard this is the standard everything's supposed to be checked and measured by and then also if the Spirit of God is speaking to somebody else you got the very same spirit in you if you're a born again child of God and you you can know by the witness of the Spirit where something's right or wrong and you're not that's what the Bible says you're not just dependent in first John on somebody else to teach you he said you don't need any man to teach you well we know God put ministry gifts in the church so what does that mean you're not just dependent on somebody else to tell you what's right even if you're listening to them you got the same Holy Ghost in you and he'll let you know and give you a witness about what's good what's right what's wrong what's not in first Corinthians the twelfth chapter we begin a couple of weeks ago talking about being hungry for the Holy Spirit and being hungry for the things of the Spirit and I think we're on the right track I believe it's of the Lord that we be on this and that we think about this and feed on this and our faith grow in this and that we just get stirred up about the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit first Corinthians 12 verse 31 he said but covet earnestly the best or the Greek third another word is greater gifts and yet show I unto you a more excellent way the good news says set your hearts then on the more important gifts or the greater gifts the Wiest says be constantly zealous after the greater spiritual gifts and yet I point out a super excellent way what is the super excellent way the love way that's another way of saying the God way because God is love usually when you see the word covet which has to do with the idea of strongly desiring something usually in the Bible when you see the word covet it's talking about coveting something you shouldn't be and and negatively telling you don't covet like for instance you know even back in the law is that don't covet your neighbor's wife are your neighbor's donkey are your neighbor's house or anything that your neighbors well understand love would be if they've got a wonderful life love would be glad that they have a wonderful wife if they got a great house love would be glad they've got it and not just wish I had it as selfishness God is love and the New Testament the Christian commandment is the commandment of love that we love one another as he has loved us how has he loved us he loved us so much that he laid down his life force and he loves us so much that he ever lives to make intercession for us he has laid down his life and he continues to give give give the greatest expression of love is giving say that out loud the greatest expression of love is given so how can you tell somebody that really is a Christian they're a giver when I just talk about money now we talk about all things they're givers how can you tell somebody that's really keeping the love command y'all awake is it true that giving is the greatest expression of love is it the Lord spoke that to me years ago in a time of waiting on him and when I first heard it I thought is that right and saying a lot the greatest expression of love and while I was pondering it it came to my remembrance with force for God so loved the world that He gave right so I didn't question it anymore obviously the greatest expression of love is giving so people who are strong Christians and really walking with God and really obey in the command our continual givers they're so errs on the other hand you got a whole world full of takers right they want something from you right they're much more interested in what you can do for me and what you're going to do for me and they stay upset about half the time or more about what somebody didn't do for huh they didn't call me they didn't check on me they didn't give me time hmm they didn't give me place I wanted him to sit down and let me explain my idea to him but they didn't do it we'll see you think they owe you something are you listening that I don't understand the world is full of people that think everybody owes them their time their consideration and it's not for us to judge anybody else but you keep watching yourself and when you begin to get perturbed you begin to get upset you begin to get hurt or angry about something somebody didn't do for you you're wrong everything that includes your husband it includes your wife it includes mom and daddy kids are y'all with me now what if you're really growing up in God what if you're really keeping the love command you're a giver you're again instead of wanting something from somebody you're ready to give them something right let me help you what can I do and you're not thinking what am I gonna get out of this now I'll scratch your back if you reciprocate yeah we'll do this and you know the world is full of this and there's far too much of this in Christian circles well we'll sew into your project if you put our name on it if you'll give us some PR you know if you'll put if you'll put an ad in the paper let everybody know we did it right I mean do what I told my is that sewing no that's trying to buy something that's trying to buy some exposure that's why the whole advertising world exists that's why they make tons of money right getting somebody's name or message or idea out there and so that kind of undercurrent is happening all the time well yeah we'll do this and then they turn around right around and ask you for something well know if something's a gift you don't ask for anything in return let me go on with this if you get all upset and go I've been there for you I was there when this happened and I did this and this is the least you can do for me watch out watch out then that means all these things you're talking about you didn't give to them you didn't give it to him it was a trade you did something and now you want something in return you want your pay if it was a gift you ask for nothing in return now you're expecting if you're so err you're expecting harvest from God come on now you're expecting a blessing you're if you did something good for somebody you are expecting a return you are expecting a harvest but your eyes must not be on them it doesn't have to come through them at all right and if you're really really a giver and really is sower than in your mind they owe you nothing yeah but you did all that for them so I didn't do it hoping they'd do something back now I'm paraphrasing things that Jesus said didn't he say to talk about giving to people hoping for nothing in return then he talked about their this is the love law and the love way if you really give there can be no strings and you don't bring it up and say hey now I did this for you so you're supposed to do this for me then it wasn't a gift you really didn't give them anything you were trying to buy something you're trying to trade for something and you want your pay it can be as simple as this somebody says you know pass me that they hand me that pencil hand me that water and they hand it to you and hold on to the other end and go isn't there something you want to say oh oh thank you thank you I'm so they want acknowledgement they want something it's not okay that means you're not a giver you want something you want acknowledgement you want verbal appreciation you want something in return somebody said out loud but I don't care how you fit in the past by faith said out loud I'm a giver I'm a giver I love to give I live to give no strings asking nothing in return I'm a giver that's the more excellent way right that he goes on into the thirteenth chapter talking about to covet means to have fervency and warmth of feeling for desire do we fervently earnestly desire the gifts of the Spirit well you can hear the thunders response and it's not I'm not trying to work you up this is just our state this this really is where the church is at does the church hunger and desire for the gifts of the Spirit no no they don't we're not to judge any other group or anybody else but how about us well that's why we're talking about that's why faith comes by hearing right and hearing by the Word of God so could we just at this point decide yes I want to be hungry while I'm willing to desire and what's going to cause us to desire and hunger more well it's just like anything else I mean you you weren't desirous of that new car until you found out that it was out right and then oh they just made it and then you found out you know I was looking at one the other day kind of stirred me up I mean this thing's fast this thing to singe your eyebrows I mean this and I didn't I didn't know that they had that out I got to look at it I thought wow and so the more I looked the more I thought yeah kind of like to have that but hadn't even desired it at all until I saw it right well why don't people desire the gifts of the Spirit don't know about them don't hear about them I don't understand in many many many many many churches the Holy Spirit is not talked about right and supernatural gifts of the Spirit aren't even believed in so they're certainly not preached and talked about and as a result people do not desire them they're not hungry for but we're getting hungrier if the Bible tells you to covet something earnestly what should you do then we should covet earnestly than any natural thing right it's okay to sow seeds for a house and claim a house but you don't want to have house on the brain right our car on the brain our jewelry on the brain or clothes what do you you know what I mean by jewelry on the brain but does that mean you think about it all the time that's not ok set your affection on things above not on things beneath I don't care how nice a car it is how nice of a house it is in a few more days it's just gonna be ashes nothing you can't take any of it with you it's only to be used for a real short time and it really doesn't matter that much not in the big picture of things but these things last forever because these things affect people's lives including your own so skip down to the 14th chapter let's go for we but we begin on this last week but let's go further into it the 14th chapter and the 39th verse wherefore brethren covet there it is again covet - what were you thinking that today were you thinking man I like to prophesy mmm I want to prophesy who's the scripture to covet to prophesy is it just written to preachers it just is it just written to a few super spiritual people no in fact we're gonna read in a few more minutes in this same chapter he said you may all prophesy most of the church doesn't believe that or even know what it is or what he means and you can see when he starts off this twelfth chapter first Corinthians by saying I would not have you ignorant concerning spiritual gifts why would he say that because he knew he knew what was coming and that is the current state of so much of the church world just you know great are sometimes complete ignorance of this but that's being corrected with faith Life Church right we are thinking about it we are looking at it and we're going to keep on looking at it right until we get hungry and we actually desire these things we desire covet more than we ever wanted any car or house or natural thing we we desire the manifestation of the Spirit of God we desire these things and here he says specifically he said covet earnestly the greater gifts and here he says covet to prophesy are you supposed to be coveting to prophesy I'm not a prophet he didn't say you had to be prophesying doesn't make you a prophet and a lot of folk just don't know what it is we're gonna talk about it as we go but if the Bible says you are to covet it would you just take that by faith and say this is something I ought to be coveting right what's something you ought to be coveting prophesying prophesy can you tell what a long road we got ahead of a circuit can you sense it and see we call ourself a Holy Ghost Church and here's where we are where does that leave folks that don't even believe in the Holy Spirit well let's we claim to be Word people we claim to be Bible people so let's lay hold of this but how many stand this is the New Testament this is right smack in the middle of the New Testament and if the Lord told us through the Holy Spirit you are to covet these covet them earnestly then that's what we ought to be doing coveting he said covet to prophesy and forbid not to speak with tongues don't say you can't talking tongues a lot of churches ought to read that heading verse 40 just let all things be done decently and in order now that that alone tells you we have a lot to do with it because if it was all the Holy Spirit you don't have to tell him to do it right right prophet least talk about two things specifically prophesying and talking in tongues and yet he and that's what this whole chapter is devoted to we got a whole chapter in the New Testament instructing about talking in tongues and prophesied it must be important listening a whole chapter in the New Testament but really if you if you doubt it read it for yourself and see the whole thing is too about speaking in tongues and prophesied and that's how he ends up by saying covet to prophesy don't forbid to speak in tongues but let it all be done decently or one translation says properly and in order well we must have a lot to do with speaking in tongues and prophesying right because if it was all holy ghost' you certainly wouldn't have to tell him to do it decently and in order right the Holy Ghost is always perfect but he manifest through us and we might make a mistake right why do we need a whole chapter of instructions on something that the Holy Ghost does the Holy Spirit doesn't need instructions but we do because there's a human side to the gifts of the Spirit and even though the Spirit of God is legitimately moving we could mess it up we could sense something right but yield and try to act on it wrong the Spirit of God could be given us something and we can jump to a wrong conclusion about what it means or what it is that's why we need to use our phraseology according to the Bible even when you're talking about you know what the Lord said people say well the Lord told me this well now that's a strong way to say it and it can be that that's how it was but a lot of times looking back over the whole thing it turned that it was obvious it wasn't the Lord so the Lord wasn't wrong huh if he told you something it was right and if he told you something was gonna happen then that's what's gonna happen but see people can make mistakes they can sense something and in their own mind decide what that means or they can sense something and jump to conclusions about what that's going to mean and how that's gonna work out so a lot of times we need to say it like this I sense this well what the Lord say I wouldn't say that he said that I sense this what does that mean and many times you need to say I don't know what does that mean you need to say I don't know what that means but I sense this and yet there can be something come so strong for instance through the prophets ministry that he should say thus saith the Lord this is what the Holy Ghost said this is not what I think he said he said this and yet that's a very strong statement isn't it you don't hear me say that all the time or every day or every service and yet there's times you've heard me say it and in all of our lives that's the way it is well we've got a lot to learn don't we are you interested in learning about it are you hungry about this we're supposed to be spiritual people spirit let not just mental people not just natural people spiritual people and we're supposed to be weird and strange we're supposed to live like this it's just supposed to be our normal way of life covet he said to prophesy and forbid not to speak with tongues let all things be done decently and in order now let's go back to chapter 12 first Corinthians 12 and read in verse 1 now concerning spirituals our spiritual gifts brethren I would not have you ignorant you know that you were Gentiles carried away under these dumb idols even as you were led wherefore I give you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed and that no man can say that Jesus the lord but by the holy ghost he's talking about speaking by inspiration anybody can say off the top of their head Jesus is Lord people don't even believe in God could say that you can find somebody drunk on the street and say how I'll give you $100 if you'll say Jesus is Lord well they might slur it and they might use profanity before it and after it and that don't mean they were speaking by the Holy Spirit right he's talking specifically and you read this and the the 14th chapter with it and you see very obviously he's talking about speaking by inspiration and speaking by inspiration includes speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues and prophecy now we're about to read the nine gifts or manifestations of the Spirit that are listed in 1st Corinthians 12 and you'll see that they follow logically into three groups of three three of these say something three of these do something powers manifested and three of these reveal something revelation comes through and we're talking about the three that say something in fact God through three of these God reveals things that he knows and sees through three of these God manifests his power he does things through three of these and through three of these God speaks God speaks somebody say glory to God is it is it desirable to hear God speak should it be coveted that God had revealed something he knows to us something he sees should it be coveted manifestations of what God can do with his power and ability we should cover these things above what should be high on early right he said don't be ignorant about these things and he begins to teach and he says in verse 4 there are diversities of gifts but the same spirit there are differences of administration's are the margin says ministries but the same Lord there are diversities of operation but it is the same God which works all in all you see a lot of threes here don't you huh the Father the Lord the Holy Spirit and then three groups of three he said the manifestation verse seven of the Spirit is given to who who can expect to have these things the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal now this is something we need to get our mind renewed because a lot of people believe that you know some people believe that these supernatural things just don't happen anymore period and then other people a lot of people believe that they might happen through some special men and women of God you know usually ministers they they might happen through all Robert's and that happen through Benny Hinn they might happen through this one or that one they might happen but the Bible says come on now and free let the Spirit of God does what read it with me the manifestation read it out loud with me the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with all people soil I'm not a preacher what's that got to do with it this is not just preacher equipment well I don't claim to be a great prayer okay so what's that got to do with it so we thought wrong I said we've thought wrong every believer every Christian is to have some of these manifestations in their life it's true enough somebody say every man includes me I can have these manifestations in my life and I desire them now the Holy Ghost goes and manifests himself where he's desired where he's respected the more he's respected the more he manifests himself and that's why one reason I'm a preaching tonight I'm believing that faith Life Church family is going to be one of the most respectful to the Holy Spirit right one of the most hungry for him and desirous that when he thinks about us he smiles come on if I got anybody with me tonight when he thinks about the faith Life Bunch the faith life family he smiles and goes oh they're easy to work with oh yeah they love me they respect me they want me they're not afraid of me they're hungry for me they desire me they want me to speak they want me to reveal they want me to do they want me to move and if we really do he will he's already done some things he's already doing some things but it's just the tip of the iceberg of what it's his will to do he begins to mention them one by one verse eight to one is given by the spirit the word of wisdom say I desire the word of wisdom I covet the word of wisdom I don't even know what it is well you know if the Bible said it's good and covered it I don't to be enough for you and if you'll keep coming you'll find out right but how many understand if it's of God if it's the Holy Ghost you want it you won't it didn't say the word of dumbness the word of what wisdom you know that's good just you wouldn't have to know much about it to know it's good to another the word of not ignorance the word of knowledge and it's by the same spirit to another faith by the same spirit now this is something different than faith that comes by hearing the word this is something beyond to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit to another the working of miracles to another prophecy to another discerning the spirits to another divers kinds of tongues to another the interpretation of tongues but all these worketh that one in the self same spirit dividing to every man severally or individually as he will there he said it again every man every man are you one of every man huh do you have a right to these things in your life now when people do see that and they begin to say yeah I believe that a whole lot of folk though start trying to water these things down to something they can relate to that they think they already have oh yeah wisdom God gives you wisdom that's not what he said word of wisdom well yeah God gives you discernment that's not what he said I have the gift of discernment Bible didn't say that discerning of spirits we can believe for a miracle that's not what it said it's the working of miracles it is a specific way that the Holy Spirit moves supernaturally in the church none of these are natural they're all supernatural you can't get the word of knowledge by going to college he well I've studied the studies and I got several degrees obviously God gave me the gift of knowledge that's not what it said doesn't talk about a gift of knowledge it's the word of knowledge but because people don't know them and they're ignorant of them they try to relegate everything to something natural that they can understand speaking in tongues is supernatural prophesying is supernatural right word of knowledge word of wisdom discerning the spirits I've one of them Supernatural all of them supernatural do you desire them said out loud I desire I greatly desire the word of wisdom I greatly desire the word of knowledge I greatly desire faith I greatly desire gifts of healings I greatly desire working of miracles I greatly desire discerning the spirits I greatly desire different kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues I greatly desire prophecy we want to get to the place where we're fervent in our desire we think about it night and day we're hungry looking for it expecting it believing and yielding now in this 12th chapter he goes on talking about the gifts of the spirit and the body of Christ because that's where they manifest but then in the 14th chapter like we said before this entire chapter is devoted to speaking in tongues now if if some people would try to tell us that tongues were only for a few days in as recorded in the book of Acts for the so called early church and that all that's passed away why in the world with the Lord put a whole chapter in the New Testament of instructions to the church for something that was only going to last for a few days and didn't even apply to us are we really to take this whole chapter out of the New Testament and say well you know that's really not for us today an entire chapter in the New Testament I'm understand if this one Falls which one's coming next hmm you say well you know you don't even have to read that because you know they talked in tongues in the early days and the Apostles had that and they needed some instruction but that was just a sign that God was doing right then and and that's all passed away and that's all ceased so in other words just ignore the 14th chapter of first Corinthians no I said no no no no speaking in tongues was for them and speaking in tongues is for us it's for us it's for us and faith Life Church is gonna be one of the speaking in tongues list Bunch you ever saw oh brother Keith you liable to run some people off like that I hope not I hope to come join us soon as we can we come if we don't speak in tongues certainly certainly but you'd be missing out but I'm not gonna hide it hmm I'm not gonna hide it for fear that I might offend somebody no y'all talk in tongues yes sir yes ma'am every day talking tongues a lot a lot a lot I mean we just talk in tongues all the time we are tongue talkers and make no apology for it when I blow the key that's it ain't for everybody it is for everybody it certainly is well I don't believe it that way well I'm sorry but I believe I can prove it to you from the Bible numerous ways and don't misunderstand me doing if you said well I don't I don't talk in tongues and it makes me uncomfortable well I'm sorry but I'm on the side of it I was a Christian for years who did not speak in tongues can you be saved and not speaking - certainly you're not a candidate to be filled until you are but now of course it can happen in a split second both you can be saved and filled faster you can blink your eyes but no certainly you can be saved and go to heaven and love God and never speak in tongues certainly what some folk don't say so well I'm sorry but you can't if you're born again you can be born again not speaking tongues certainly millions are and I was someone who was born again knew God love God but didn't speak in tongues for years but then I did I got filled with the spirit spoke in tongues and have spoken in tongues now for many more years and so since I have experience in both areas I'm qualified to say if you've only had experience in one area not speaking you don't know you're not qualified to say anything about it right are y'all with me and how many else with me in here would testify that speaking in tongues with you know our being a Christian I should say with speaking in tongues is better better much better much better I mean that's an understatement much better holds place in first Corinthians 14 there go to acts the second chapter and let's let's look back at where this thing started I'm excited there's some revelation here tonight I I'm believing to get to I I mean some answers some understanding of these things so believe with me I don't want to stay longer than we ought to but on the other hand you got to watch about rushing you you'll miss things if our whole purpose was to see how quick we could get out we could have just stayed home right how much then that's the quickest of all you just you're there for you ever leave [Laughter] but if there was a reason why we came out huh and something really is going on then let's see to it that we got what we were supposed to get when we came and we take it back with us right and besides that this modern version of service length where did it come from well a sermon is supposed to be 30 minutes 45 minutes 55 minutes a service is supposed to be you know an hour or two hours are certainly not over 3 where did that number come from when did that numbers start how long did Jesus go do you know how long did Jesus speak when he spoke do you know we know there were times when they were all out there on the hillside for days is that right we know there were times when Paul went all night long is that right all night long - the Sun came up and he still preaching now what would people say about that today poor people say if I did that what would they say I can't believe he just went on and on it oh but he just wouldn't shut up I mean the man preached oh no Paul did Jesus went for days some is that right sure well yeah but you ain't Jesus well who should I use as an example instead of him don't get scared I'm not planning on going to daylight but what I am saying is what people hold up as the standard what are we measuring it by when did it start where did it come from so many times it's just a tradition that people have gotten used to and so when something gets to a certain limit they think oh no that's it that's long enough that's far enough based on what the important thing is the will of God be done that's the important thing and that's what we ought to all be believing for are you in acts the second chapter anybody know what happened is recorded in acts 2 do you believe it happened just like it's written right here huh Jesus has gone to the cross he has paid the price it was awful he was in the heart of the earth three days and three nights he rose from the dead glory to God he spoke to his disciples he ascended on high out of their sight and the angel said just like you see him going that's how he's gonna come how many believe it just like that he how many believe he has lit he was literally dead was he was Jesus physically and literally dead did he physically and literally in spiritual every other way raised from the dead is he alive right now is it true that nobody will ever find Jesus bones because they're not here they're not on the planet they're with him where's Jesus bones in his body didn't he say after he had raised from the dead what did he say touch me this is after he was crucified after he was cold and dead in the grave he told him touch me a spirit does not have flesh-and-bone like you see me notice they didn't say flesh and blood why because his blood is on the mercy seat where where it has bought you and paid for you and redeemed you missus what's flowing in his veins God spirit same thing is going to be flowing in your veins the life of the flesh is in the blood right are the life of our flesh has been contaminated and corrupted our blood has been contaminated and corrupted through the curse and through the sin and through the fall but soon and very soon this corruptible is going to put on incorruptible hallelujah this mortal is going to put on m-more tell what's going to happen to our but I don't know but it's not gonna be the same we're gonna be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye never again subject to aging our death or decay or any kind of weakness means you'll never have a headache forever you'll never get a new wrinkle ever ever you will never have a off day for eternity you will never feel a little bit weak or off ever again because you won't be mortal anymore immortal say you really believe all that really really do Jesus has raised from the dead he told them to tarry in the city of Jerusalem till they be endued with power from on high so that's exactly what they're doing they were staying there a praying and awaiting on God just like he told him to do and acts 2 verse 1 says and when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one Accord in one and suddenly there came a sound from heaven and served like a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting who's in the house huh the Holy Spirit is in the house manifested somebody say what an entrance and there they filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared to them cloven tongues tongues tongues tongues of fire and what's about to happen to their tongues tongues of fire is going to sit on them and then the Holy Ghost is moving on them and filling them and they're going to speak with their tongues other tongues and people are going to hear them in their tongues somebody say tongues turns tongues tongues brother Keith some people are not comfortable with all that well I'm sorry but I'm reading the Bible you can't apologize for the Bible if you did what kind of preacher are you no no listen tongues are distinctive of this this age in which we live the church age this is the Holy Ghost age this is the church age all of these other manifestations of the Spirit you can find in the Old Testament working the miracles you can find discerning the spirits word of knowledge where you can see them but not this this began here this is something unique to us haha the last days bunch the church bunch right and if you fully identify with the church as it began then you have to fully identify with tongues tongues they spoke in other tongues say that loud they spoke in other tongues and so do we if we've got the same spirit they had we ought to have some of the same manifestations that they had right we ought to have the same help they had and the more you learn about tongues you see what a help it is what what enough supernatural ability to build yourself up to pray to pray out mysteries to pray out the will of God because otherwise if you don't pray in tongues the only praying you have is limited to your understanding which is severely limited don't care who you are how smart you think you are how many staying compared to what God knows and I know you know there were times before I was filled with the Spirit of God I pray I knew so I knew something needed to happen in my life and I'm hungry for God I know if something's not right I can't tell what it is didn't know at the time but I found that since then it was a call on our life something we were supposed to do in him didn't know that but I try to pray with my understanding I pray everything I could think of to pray in five minutes right and then say it again for another thirty times just keep repeating myself and yet you knew you weren't touching it you knew you weren't getting it out until glory to God begin to speak in other tongues and then you touch it you touch what you couldn't touch with your mind you express what you didn't know how to say oh come on can you say Amen well what good does it do I'm trying to explain it to you right now they had a supernatural means of building their self up spiritually of praying out the mysteries of mysteries and will of God do you need this as much as they needed that then certainly you do does everybody need it certainly everybody needs it that's why it's available to every body everybody the Spirit of God these tongues of fire appeared like as a fire set upon each of them can the Holy Ghost sit on you you don't even sit on you yeah you do yeah yeah yeah I'm telling you he can get in the car with you I've had him do it to me glory to God mmm now when he does you don't have to ask somebody is he here he cannot ask anybody but I thought the Holy Ghost is with us always he is but not always in manifestation to the same degree he can be in you and you don't sense him at all and yet I've had him come get in the bed with me I mean come on me lay there and cry tears of joy and shout and now I'm in rosin I was in Georgia one time in a meeting got to be I I got stirred up about something in the word saw something I'd never seen before I got so excited I praised God about you by myself Bible said right by myself I praise God praise God I got up and kind of moved around the bed a little bit and then I laid down I felt minutes later I got to get up early in the morning it's 2 o'clock you know how to get up some I'm laying there trying to sleep and Anna and I got excited and I thought God you were so good you're so good and you come got in the bed oh god glory to God I got up I run around the bed by myself ain't nobody there to see me it's all calm down a little bit laid back down in the bed it's 3 o'clock now you know some thank you and I got to go to sleep got to get up in the morning and I got to lay in there goin you're so good oh you're so good and the more you said he manifests himself to you I got excited got third time got out of the bed run around it again I just by myself something said why would you do such a thing some things is better felt than tailed if you ain't been there don't knock it right but I'm telling you God is real the Holy Ghost is real and he sat on these guys did me he sat on him he sat on him come under stand if I came to a chair right now and set on you would you know it well wonder if the Holy Ghost came and sat on you would you know it yes do you want him to set out loud Holy Spirit sit on me anytime anytime right what are you saying manifest yourself to me manifest your presence to me manifest yourself in my house and in my car anywhere anytime I respect you I want you I desire you hungry for you glory to God it's already begun there's people right here in this room it's already begun especially in the next few days you're gonna have stronger manifestation to the presence of God then you've had before now because you're beginning to desire it you beginning to be hungry and those that hunger and thirst after these things they're the ones that will be filled these are the righteousness right things of God hallelujah verse 3 there appeared to them cloven tongues like his a fire and set upon each of them verse 4 read it out loud with me and they were all coming in how many of them who mustace before if it was just a sign it wasn't necessary for it to happen to all of them it could have been a sign just happening to Peter or two or three of them right all they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin unless you stop out here who begin they all begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance who begin to speak with other tongues they did they all do did to speaking they did didn't say the Holy Ghost spoke they spoke as he gave them utterance now all this is significant reason us I take time to say because this is what's keeping a lot of folks from speaking in tongues they think the Holy Ghost is just going to take them over and make them speak and speak through them apart from them just kind of take them over it's not how it works when yours and the reason I know it so well is because I messed up in this area there were years I tried to get filled with the spirit unsuccessfully through ignorance and not even say I tell people well if you ever hear me speaking in tongues it won't be me thought I was I don't know what I thought but I was wrong because if you if they ever hear you speaking in tongues well it ain't me speaking in tongues it's you it ain't your brother it ain't your sister and if you don't speak in tongues you never will I don't know I mean I want to hold it goes you mean you want the Holy Ghost to get filled with the Holy Ghost no no I want him to do the talking that's not what it says he doesn't do the talking you do the talking right you have to use your lips your tongue your vocal cords just like when you're speaking a known language you have to speak and if you don't speak you won't speak the difference is it's not coming out of your understanding the utterance is coming out of your insides the utterance comes from him read it again verse four what happened they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin who began who began they all begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance they're doing the speaking he's given the utterance tell me one more time who's doing the speaking they are the fact that they're speaking is not supernatural the supernatural part is where the utterance is coming from now he goes on to say they were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews devout men out of every nation under heaven and when this was noised abroad the multitude came together and were confounded because every man heard them speak in his own language this is a sign they were all amazed and they marvel they said one to another behold or not all these which speak galilaeans and how here we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born actually the Greek word for tongue there's dialect they weren't just hearing languages they were hearing the various dialects of the specific languages these people out there in the street are hearing them like they grew up in their country and these people don't know a word of what they're saying somebody say supernatural and it said how do we hear every man in our own tongue our dialect wherein we were born parson's Medes Elamites dwellers in Mesopotamia in Judea Cappadocia Pontus Asia Phrygia Pamphylia in Egypt parts of Libya abouts are any strangers of Rome Jews proselytes creats Arabians how many languages is that huh then we know why first Corinthians 12 says divers kinds different kinds of tongues are languages and first Corinthians 13 says if I speaking the tongues plural of men plural and angels plural it is possible for you or me to speak in any language a man has ever spoken and to speak in languages men don't speak languages angels speak true or not so now let me talk about this I know one of the first times I spoke in tongues like I said it took me entirely too long it took me hey Phyllis nose oh man what was it two or three years or more which is sad because it shouldn't take this long to be filled with the spirit speaking tongues but I was too heady and I'll kept saying I kept saying well now if you ever hear me speak it won't be mean as long as I believe that I never did and then another thing was I'd heard other people talk about their experiences and I focused too much on that cuz sister so-and-so in the church when she got failed she rolled under the peel and saw a bright light and brother so-and-so when he got filled he sang ins he sang song you know different songs and tongues for 30 minutes you know and I'm looking for something spectacular and yet that's not what the Bible said for instance and Mark is that these signs will follow them to believe among other things in my name they will speak with new tongues people may have different experiences but don't focus on that focus on believing you receive and yielding and speaking who said it had to be fireworks going off hmm that's people just assume all that stuff and I was doing that and one day thank God a fine I got a hold of a book by brother Kenneth Hagin I didn't know him we'd never been to Rome at that time and I read it went seven steps how to receive the Holy Ghost holy spirit I read it and when I got through reading I thought yeah can't be that easy of course if it is all this stuff I've been doing for three years totally unnecessary and that's what a lot of people don't want to admit you know well I did this I was prayed for I tried and I didn't speak so it must not be from me absolutely not all that proves is that you didn't receive what's also prayed for me and they're a good brother means nothing it's still God's will for you same isn't any other thing in the Bible and so finally I know it was the Holy Ghost came up in me well you've tried everything else and I had they told me if you shave off that mustache Carl for you with the Holy Ghost so I shaved it off well if you're wearing long sleeves I tried that well if you'll do this well if you'll quit that well if you'll start this brother I tried it no holy goes that's what the Lord with sentiment you've tried everything else why wouldn't you do this because he said ask the Father to fee with the Holy Spirit and by faith speak everybody say by faith come on now by faith speak and that's that's the thing the reason people don't speak in tongues is not because it's not for them it's not because they don't have enough information it's a lack of faith you speak by faith what am I going to say you don't know how am I gonna say it you don't know that either how does it work you don't know I'm gonna say something I don't know what I'm gonna say by faith by faith by faith somebody say by faith by faith faith is the substance of things hoped for evidence of things not seen so I did I just I said okay alright I stood up in our little 1969 Marriott mobile home with no insulation with the red shag carpet and genuine imitation leather couch it was well used for we got it and I stood up there by myself that will book I said lord I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit I'm a child of yours you said if we'd asked you'd give I ask I believe I receive thank you for giving me utterance in a new tongue and by faith I speak prolong from sunda kelapa d din Jenny baby we're good my so caught you Lacey and then I stopped and said now I ain't seeing no bright lights I feel anything and that just sounds like gibberish to me I now that the reason I said all that is this have you heard all languages that men have ever spoken have you ever heard some languages that didn't sound like a language to you oh I have you're thinking that's a language what about the languages of angels how would you know what that sounded like so what's my point you are not qualified at all to judge what's coming out of your mouth to say if it is or is not a language are not with me now so what do I do you just speak so I read the books morning he talked about when you pray what good does it do when you're speaking it undone tongue you're speaking mysteries to God you build yourself up do it by faith by faith thank God for the message of faith by faith we ought to know that how you get born again everything in the Christian walk is by faith you don't wait till you feel everything amazing and then you're gonna say I confess Jesus is Lord you do it first right then you begin to see the results it's that way in every area of life and so the or I did the better the flow was and thank God you know been doing this ever since now go back to first Corinthians twelve my word where'd my time go first Corinthians twelve man that is just point one but uh you know you're not ready to go to other things until you got the more basic thing it's first Corinthians 12:14 rather 14 we're talking about the speaking in tongues interpretation of tongues and prophecy do we desire these things then we ought to know what we're desiring and the more with know about them the more it'll make us desire how many understand God is so good the more you know about him the more you want to know about him is that right he is good and that's the way all these things are of him these things are from him the more the reason people don't want them is because they don't they're completely ignorant of them like he said don't be and the more you find out about them the more you desire now in 1st Corinthians 14 like we said this whole chapter is devoted to this let's begin reading follow after love charity and desire spiritual gifts there it is again how many times have we seen this desire must this be a part of them happening in our life is there a connection between how much we want them and them happening got to be if it didn't matter he wouldn't be telling us every other chapter desire these if it didn't matter if it didn't play any part in it but it does desire spiritual gifts but rather are particularly that you may prophesy this must be important let me give you a quick example of prophecy you just you and I just got through reading in the scriptures about Jeroboam and reborn anybody remember that if you don't just look straight ahead and be quiet said out loud everybody at faith Life Church reads their chapter every day Monday through Friday now if you've got behind well you know get get caught up or if you're so far behind you don't know what to do we'll just start where we are now and but don't quit don't quit and we saw that who was it real Boehm Solomon son and came into power and then Jeroboam led Israel off separately and that's when Judah and Israel split and right after that that under real boehm Judah gathered the armies together and he's gonna go and fight with Israel now think about this and it said a man of God came out and prophesied and said do not go out and fight because this thing is from the Lord and they turned around and went home a whole war didn't happen because of one prophecy are y'all listening now could God still do that today is this valuable is this precious and powerful you you see that happened more than once in the scriptures he said a man of God came and they prophesied what what that means is God spoke through him and the people heard it and he did it and it changed history it averted things it changed things how many people lives were spared that day how many homes spared protected people got to keep their husbands and daddies and cetera et cetera somebody say one prophecy one prophecy changed nations could it still happen today could one prophecy change your life individually that's why we order desire and be hungry for now some people have gotten a hold of a little bit of what we're talking about and as a result they just started prophesying to everybody all the time about everything and a lot of it wasn't God it was just them and mistakes were made and people were hurt and so then people getting one ditch or the other they either all they want to do prophesy to each other or they don't want to have anything to do with it but let's get in the middle of the road I said let's get in the middle of the road with the rightly divided word of the Lord right the Bible said don't despise prophesied why would he have to say that because there's enough people missing it that you could get that way right and when somebody piped up and said thus saith the Lord you could go out no not again here we go again baba said don't do that don't despise it why cuz this time it might be God right and yet the scripture tells us specifically to judge prophecies we are supposed to we're not just supposed to because somebody said thus saith the Lord we're not supposed to scho oh well that was God mm-hmm we're supposed to judge them whether it's me prophesy on you prophesy on anybody you're supposed to judge it somebody say all prophecies are to be judged what do you mean judged whether it was God or not well it's the Holy Ghost talking to me you're not going to yeah but it ain't all him it's coming through you right and even if it was him you could still mess it up that's why it's got to be just if it was all him there wouldn't be any Scripture in here about judging it and yet the Bible says - boy this is big 1st Corinthians 14 let's keep reading he said desire spiritual gifts rather that you may prophesy he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men but unto God for no man understands him howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries how many understand if this is not far all the successive generations after the acts record why would this be in the Bible why is he why would it need to be here this is for us what good does it do to talk in tongues you're speaking directly to God what good does it do to speak in tongues you are speaking in the spirit mysteries mysteries divine mystery what's the mystery something you don't know something other people don't know something the devil don't know I think really part of this that God does through prayer through other things is he wants things pray it out but he don't want to show his hand to the enemy right and you and I can just pry all kind of things about to plan to God never even know what we prayed about and the devil never even know you know for three years particularly before Phyllis and I moved here we did a lot praying not praying because boy something was working in us and we knew we're supposed to come off the road off the road from helping the Hagins and then we've done that for two decades and that was our life and and he wasn't too excited about it and you need to know you've heard from God and then there were some things just at the last part of it came up about Branson we hadn't thought about Branson it's not like it was a lifelong desire and what and man it happens so quickly we got here boom boom boom next thing you know we got a church full of hundreds of people just like add water and it's the church and it's the church right I was telling a brother of mine right after some of the things happened you know God gave us the property and the church grew so fast and the money came in is quick and and we were eating and after we're eating a few minutes wit on another subject he laid his fork down he said brother Keith that's got to be God I said yeah it's got to be God has to be we couldn't have done it God and I was talking to brother Kenneth Copeland about it one time actually on the broadcast it came out it was aired and he looked at me across the time but he said Keith he said I think y'all were there for the devil didn't knew what was going on God kept it a secret and it just happened so quick who the devil what can he do to keep him from heaven he didn't know what's gonna happen he's like where'd that church come from the devil doesn't know everything and yet through us and through a number of other people I'm sure God was praying it out speaking it out we were asking him to do things that would allow it to happen and didn't even know it come on now are y'all with me or not what values are in speaking in tongues well how about that is that valuable or not in your own personal life it's exactly the same thing what do you do you know it's not right you're not satisfied with the way things are you know God's got more for you and you've prayed everything you know in your head and you're not satisfied what do you do it's time to talk in tongues yeah talking tongues talking tongues say God help me to pray I don't know what to pray I've run out of gas here I'm at my in the mine you're standing out how can you pray about the future how can you pray about the future plan of God that you don't know what it is and all these different things how can you pray divine mysteries only one way by faith in other tongues can you say Amen by faith and so you pray when you're speaking in an unknown tongue unknown to you might be known to somebody it's the language somebody spoke somewhere doesn't mean it's completely unknown of course God knows it but whether it's a language of a man the language of an angel you're speaking in it by faith you're speaking to God and no man understands it well that would include you you don't understand Europe you're a person you don't understand what you're saying but in the spirit you are speaking mysteries one translation says divine secrets brother Hagin My Father in faith used to say this all the time he'd say mysteries pray doubt brings revelation and I've seen it again and again you may pray about something you don't know what you're praying about and when you get up and get through you may not still know what you're praying about but then here it comes later on might be the next day might be the next week but here it comes some light cane some Direction some revelation some favor and a lot of times you'll have it in your spirit that's what I was praying about that's what I was praying about what good does it do to speak in tongues I'd have to talk in tongues to tell you how much good it does stand on your feet everybody I don't let's do some of it right now right now hmm that's not much enthusiasm I said huh how about we do some of it right now how many believe God's got a plan for your life huh how many understand you don't know what all that plan is and you don't know what he has for you all in the future but you know he's not surprised by you he already knows everything that's right for you through your whole life he's already got a whole plan and will mapped for you but you need to ask him for it so everybody said I said right now and you might say well I don't talk in tongues how can I do it you can do it right now by faith it's not complicated at all you just follow us and just jump right in everybody said out loud father God thank you for filling us with your Holy Spirit thank you that we can speak divine secrets mysteries thank you we can build our self up on the holy faith we're asking you help us to ask what we need to ask to say what we need to say about your perfect wills your perfect plan for our lives help us to pray about the next steps we are to take the next phase the next part of what you've already planned and prepared for us give us utterance in another tongue to pray beyond our minds by faith we speak now provolone ghosting Lavely manda of RAM bagging on Sakhalin Brady may live in a meetings and ago knows you love ready porosity bear LaVon

scripture said what is it then I will pray with the understanding and I'll pray with the spirit also could you say I'm gonna pray with my understanding right now could you initiate it on your own Paul
