Keith Moore Living By Faith Pt.1 Living By Faith

romans chapter 1 and praying about what to do tonight i i this is not a part of a previous series this is either a single let's see yeah y'all think that's real funny that's and you're probably right you're probably right or the beginning of a new series which has been the case most of the time romans 1 and 15. romans 1 15 he said for as much as in me is i am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at rome also for i'm not ashamed of the gospel of christ hallelujah you feel the same way i'm not ashamed gospel means good news christ refers to the anointed one the good news of the anointed one for it is the gospel is the power of god unto salvation to everyone that believes to the jew first and also to the greek for therein in the gospel is the righteousness of god revealed from faith to faith as it is written the just shall live by faith hallelujah the title of this tonight is living by faith the just shall live by faith the amplified says it like this verse 17 in the gospel a righteousness which god ascribes is revealed both springing from faith and leading to faith as it is written now that you know the brackets those are things added by the writers of the amplified as it is written the man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith this is good i believe this is good translation from the original greek and notice this distinction not only will you uh live by faith but you will live the just don't perish by faith we don't go down by faith we don't go under by faith we're not destroyed by faith we live hallelujah how can you live and not die when everything around you says you have to die now young prematurely how can you how can you live anyway is it possible it is but all things are possible only to a select group is it not to everybody but to who all things are possible jesus said to him that believes it's faith all things are not possible to everybody it's only to those that believe and if you're going to be an overcomer if you're going to be one that lives when they say you have to die one that comes out and has your needs met when everything says you have to go under hmm then you will be one who has lived and overcome by your faith in him oh hallelujah you know this uh this phrase is in other places in the word of god i mean it's quoted from habakkuk 2. you can just you have to turn there they can put it up on the screen for us habakkuk 2. the lord answered me and said write division you ever heard that one before habakkuk 2 2 and make it plain upon tables that he may run that reads it for the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it shall speak and not lie though it tarry wait for it because it'll surely come it'll not tarry how many have not given up on some things on your vision list you got got to hang in there not everything happens in a month or two or even a year or two just have to hang in there verse 4 behold his soul which is lifted up now this refers to pride and haughtiness is not upright in him but the just shall live by his faith now see this is what the writer of romans is quoting actually the spirit of god through paul is quoting himself in habakkuk you know it's humorous that some of these folks there's some people around trying to say that jesus what jesus said in the scriptures the four gospel accounts is not in agreement with what paul said in some places you know the letters to the corinthians ephesians galatians well then that means you believe it's not inspired you believe it's not the word of god either one of them or perhaps both of them because if you believe the truth you know it's the holy spirit speaking through the writer of matthew mark luke and john different human writers but the same author is that right and it's the same one speaking in romans or in first corinthians or same one if it's not the same one then it's not inspired and it's not the word of god very serious i i'm convinced it is i'm happy about it i'm not perplexed or struggling with it how about you and uh galatians talks about this look in fact you can turn to this one galatians 3 11. galatians 3 11 he said that no man is justified by the law in the sight of god it is evident for the just shall what live by faith verse 12 and the law is not of faith but the man that doeth them shall live in them say it out loud the law is not of faith he said previously that the just shall live by faith now go to galatians 2 216. 2 16. he said knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by what faith of jesus christ even we have believed in jesus christ that we might be justified by the faith of christ and not by the works of the law for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified keep reading actually skip down to 20 for time say i am crucified with christ nevertheless i live yet not i but christ lives in me and the life which i now live in the flesh that's talking about right here and right now i live how. the just live hou those justified by faith in him live in this life here by the faith of the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me verse 21 i do not frustrate the grace of god for if righteousness come by the law then christ is dead in vain so he's talking about living by faith and coupled with living by faith he's talking about grace is there a disconnect between living by faith and understanding grace go to timothy please second timothy 2 15. ii timothy 2 15. he said study to show yourself approved unto god a workman that needs not to be ashamed now um he's writing to a young man who's a minister then of course this applies to all of us on some level the more ignorant you are of the word of god the more easily you are deceived and tricked and misled it makes you vulnerable and the the real issue is not just how much you know it's did you take advantage of the opportunities the lord gave you because if you genuinely didn't have the opportunity to see it and know it and learn it in those cases the lord will protect you by his mercy he only holds us accountable of the light he knows we have but if you had every opportunity to see it and to hear it you but it just wasn't important enough to you and you week after week and month after month and year after year had no time for it well that's a different situation and really even though you don't know it or we don't know it we should by now we had the opportunity and so it comes it comes down to doing what you know in your heart but notice the rest of this phrase rightly dividing the word of truth say that phrase out loud rightly dividing the word of truth does the word of truth need to be divided had two nods and a grunt it must i said it must why would the the word of god need to be divided well there's a number of reasons i don't know that it's our purpose to get into right now but how many thing how many numbers do you have to have to divide something huh you can't you can't divide with one it takes two right you divide one by another how do you divide the word of truth by by dividing it against another truth you have to have more than one truth to rightly divide the word of truth and that's worthy combing your hearing coming out tonight right there is that right why i can't take credit for that the lord just gave me that this this this afternoon i was thinking about something else and he just i thought oh that's good lord why if the truth this book is full of truths truth about this truth about that truth about the other many different areas the truths are the wisdom of god in fact the whole bible is called the wisdom of god and the wisdom of god encompasses all the truths about every area but if you or many of us take a truth and make it the only truth then now you are not dividing it by other truths and you will get into error and you'll get off and that's any truth maybe you're stirred up and gung-ho about prayer well that's great prayer is one of the most wonderful things but there's more in the bible than prayer is that right if you are a prayer only person you're going to get off i said you're going to get off you'll wind up making prayer the salvation for everything and the answer for everything and it's not going to i have faith in prayer i have a lot of faith in prayer you should have faith in god the god who answers prayer well that's what i meant no you said what you meant that's what i'm talking about you get off well there's great truth concerning that god's a god of abundance right yes but if that's all you focus on is material things and and financial things and abundance and abundance and above that's not all the truth in the word of god there's other truth and you'll get off if all you i mean sowing and reaping is one of the greatest truths jesus referred to it as you might say a granddaddy principle that affects the whole kingdom the whole kingdom operates by this principle but if all you ever talk about is offerings and sowing and reaping you're going to get off you're going to get off why because you're not rightly dividing that truth by these other truths you have to have more than one truth to divide is that right and and it's the same thing uh if you talk about healing if you're talking about deliverance whatever you tell if you're talking about tithing all great truths but they are not the only truth rightly somebody say rightly dividing the word of truth hallelujah look with me in first john 4 please first john 4 and then i think we'll go to james 3. we'll see thank you lord are you there first john 4 and 1. first john 4 1 says beloved believe not every spirit now in order for you to do this you'd have to ign you'd have to recognize something's being said and you've got to identify what to believe and what not to don't believe every spirit in other words saying that don't believe everything you hear hmm is that bible counsel don't believe every spirit uh corinthians talks about there are many voices in the world none of them's without signification there's a bunch of voices saying a lot of different things and you're not supposed to believe all of it that's right but what are you supposed to do try the spirits whether they are of god because many false prophets are going out into the world we're to try test and try the spirits say it out loud try the spirits with that in mind go to james chapter 3 try the spirits how do you do that why would you do that what what are you looking for just because scriptures are quoted and religious phraseology is used does not mean you should just blindly accept it right or completely embrace it we are to try another word another way of translating that word is test test with the idea of uh approving or disapproving accepting or not accepting and the scripture tells us here in in first john the the same epistle we just got through reading from that you have an unction of the holy one is that right in fact you ought to read that go over there i'll move too quick first john chapter 2 first john first john 2 back up to verse 27. well let's read verse 20 then we'll read 27. verse 20 are you there first john 2 but you have what an auction another word for that is anointing you have an anointing from the holy one and you know all things that doesn't make you omniscient but everything you need to know he will cause you to know by the anointing that's in you in verse 27 he talks further about it verse 27 but the anointing this time he calls it anointing instead of unction the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you that word abide means to live dwell to stay you have an anointing if you're born again you have an anointing that's in you 24 7. notice what this anointing will do you need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teaches you of all things in his truth and is no lie and even as it has taught you you shall abide in him now instead of saying unction or anointing it says him the anointing is a hymn the unction is a hymn the holy spirit is a person and that anointing teaches you oh thank god for the anointing thank god for the anointing i'm believing you're getting some things right now and you'll get some good things throughout the service tonight and as you do it'll be the anointing that taught you hallelujah the anointing in me and on me and the anointing in you and on you but it's the same one holy spirit hallelujah it's the anointing and what he says in in the first part of that verse you need not that any man teach you now again what do you have to do with truth how do you rightly divide the truth by other truths of the truths and uh if you say well i don't we don't need any men teaching well then you're ignoring scripture right because the lord gave gifts to men is that right and part of those gifts were apostles prophets evangelists pastors teachers and they're given for the perfecting of the saints for the building up of the body of christ etc so what's he talking about well yes but like we just got through saying if you're helped through these ministry gifts it wasn't just the flesh or the intellect of that individual it was the anointing and so it's the anointing that's teaching us yes hallelujah and it is beyond analytical examination and it is beyond just adding knowledge to your memory we're not talking about you or i figuring these things out ah the anointing you know and the anointings in this room right now it's in sarasota it's manifesting with people that are genuinely hooked uh over the internet now if you've got five other things you're not half paying attention then there's not going to be much anointing there which is why it helps to be in the building it actually makes it easier because the anointing can be stronger with a bunch of folks focused is that right can make it easier and uh in that in his presence in the anointing of the holy spirit being manifest you just see things you didn't figure it out you just didn't know it and now you do you didn't see it now you do hallelujah you didn't understand it and now it's crystal clear to you you didn't figure it out some man you weren't dependent on a man being smart and figuring it out and explaining it to you if they got it they didn't figure it out either it was just revealed to them said out loud the anointing is teaching me all things hallelujah glory to god and he had also said here that was chapter two and then just what is it a couple of chapters over he said don't believe every spirit for one but do what try the spirits now the the lord gave me this phrase and i've been criticized for it and i've had ugly letters written to me for it but as you'll notice i'm going to say it again i must still be convinced of the accuracy of it a man's or woman either one when i say man until my male or female a man's spirit is more important than their doctrine amen amen it's more important that you determine and discern and detect what kind of spirit they are than uh their doctrine now i'm a bible teacher and preacher so you could assume that i take doctrine and teaching seriously and i'm not saying that's not important what i am saying is something that's even more important and that's the spirit of the man or the woman doing the teaching the spirit because notice here in 4 1 he didn't say try the doctrines that's right what'd he say try the spirits the spirits and what kind of spirit should we be looking for he said don't believe every spirit what do we look at go with me to james and i believe there's some things very very helpful here this is a little different isn't it but you're believing with me right we're going to get it just right and as you notice we're looking at scriptures here not just theories and opinions and ideas we've already given several several scriptures james 3 james 3 and 13. who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom you know jesus said come and learn about me learn about who i am what i am what's the next thing he said i am meek lowly of heart of all the things he could have said he said i'm humble now a lot of folks that don't understand to them meek means weak and nothing can be further from the truth it's actually the weaker individual who is haughty and proud and and won't control their temper that's a weak individual it takes a lot more strength when your flesh wants to be recognized and noticed and you bite your lip and don't say anything or do anything when you do get angry or upset but you put your flesh under and do what the spirit of god leads you to do in walking in love and in faith that takes more strength right and jesus is the perfect example of the strongest of the strong hallelujah he wasn't led by anger or frustration or fear or rage he was he said i only do what i see the father do and say what i hear the father say who is a wise man endued with knowledge among you let him show out of a good conversation way of life his works with meekness of wisdom keep reading but if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts glory not and lie not against the truth this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly sensual devilish well that's a wrong spirit right that'd be a wrong spirit and yet it was wisdom it was wisdom but it didn't come from god is there an earthly sensual and when we hear sensual we think people's minds usually go towards sexual things but that just means by the senses the senses and devilish or another word would be demonic is there a demonic wisdom a wisdom that comes from earth not heaven well then that be the spirit that was speaking that is the one you would not want to receive right you need to try the spirits and discern no that's not i'm not receiving that verse 16 for where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work again wrong spirits god is not the author of confusion the scripture said he's not in it so where you see people struggling and fighting with each other and envying well i want that well you can't have that i'll that's going to be mine i'm going to get that confusion people don't even know what's going on there are wrong spirits involved in that that's not god whether it's in your house or in your business or in your church strife confusion are the manifest presence of wrong spirits we're not supposed to give them any place we need to go on a crusade to stamp out strife right zero strife right zero tolerance for strife at my house at our place and how many think for sure you ought not have it at church whether it's behind the scenes or out front either one verse 17 here he begins to tell you the right spirit he told you how you can identify the wrong spirit verse 17 he begins to tell you how you can identify the right spirit the wisdom that is from above from god is first what pure then is what peaceable gentle easy to be entreated full of mercy good fruits without partiality doesn't play favorites and have its little clicks little groups and it's without hypocrisy no zero lying zero deception and covering and hiding that's how you can tell beware of these whisperers yeah don't tell anybody that that's nobody needs to know all of that amen look at the amplified well i didn't read the last verse and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that what so he's mentioned peace what three or four times right here together one of the ways you can identify a right spirit is peace in contrast to what confusion and fussing and fighting you know there's wrong spirits involved yes when there's that in the amplified verse 17 the wisdom that's from above is first of all pure undefiled then it is peace loving courteous considerate gentle someone say consider it gentle he said it's willing to yield to reason it'll listen i said it'll listen somebody who's of a right spirit will listen didn't say they'd always agree with you on everything but they'll listen and they're easy to talk to full of compassion good fruits straightforward impartial unfeigned free from doubts wavering and insincerity now the enemy is continually trying to get us off he didn't take a break from it i mean he's trying to get you off he's trying to get me off he's trying to get the church off and not just us in our groups everybody all over the world he's endeavoring to mislead and deceive and confuse the bible says in second corinthians 4 4 the god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not lest the glorious light of the gospel should shine unto them and so we're cautioned and warned to be on our guard because our adversary is on the prowl like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour don't you like that phrase may that means there's some he may and there's some he may not how many volunteer to be the ones he may not he that he can't he just can't do it well it'll become it'll be because you do something different from the ones that do get devoured now one thing that i think we ought to touch on some is that there is a controversy in the church right now over grace and there are folks that are dividing and saying well i am of the grace camp and others are saying i'm of the faith camp and there is this idea that there is a disconnect between grace and faith y'all are quiet now i'm not i'm not saying this because of anything that's happened recently or i don't have any particular person or group in mind the only reason i do these kind of things is because i believe the lord impressed me too and most of the time i just speak generally but sometimes you need to be specific so that folk know what you're talking about right yes that uh there's this idea that grace is the way and folks would say well well yeah we believe in faith too but but it's grace and other folks say well no faith it's always been faith and still is faith it's faith kind of reminds you go to first corinthians 3. first corinthians 3. first corinthians 3 he said in verse 3 first corinthians 3 3 you are yet carnal for where is there is among you what envying strife and division let you stop right there we just got through reading the same words in james what do we know just seeing those three words what do we know wrong spirits is that right wrong spirits are you not carnal and what walk as men mere unsafe men for while one says i'm of paul and another said i'm of apollos are you not carnal were they dividing into groups and were they having well verse three look at it again as a result of this what's happening envying strife and now what did jesus say a house divided cannot stand see the enemy knows this this is his tactic to bring envying and strife and division because when you divide it you weaken it and you are a big step closer to destroying it and this has become an issue in the body i travel i talk to pastors i talk to ministers and i endeavor you've heard me talk about it before i endeavor to stay away from judging we're talking about that on sunday we're going to talk about it some more and yet you can see people are getting hurt over this thing you can see i don't know i i'm just off the top of my head i'm thinking of this one and this one and this one and this one and this one who've had church splits people i know churches i know some of them small some middle size some of them very very big and they've had large numbers of people break off from that group that they were with and say well y'all don't have this revelation on grace and so we're going where we can get the real gospel this is not an isolated incident or instance well we know something's wrong there somewhere oh yes don't we because of the envy and the confusion and arguing and the strike we know there's some wrong spirits there somewhere don't we and we need to identify and believe not every spirit and try the spirits and one thing we'll be talking about before we finish our series on judging is that there's a big difference between judging a doctrine and judging a person very big difference you do not want to get into judging a person because you do not know what they saw or didn't see or what the lord told them or didn't tell them and i'd be one of the first ones to say i have said things that weren't right in my ignorance there's been times i've had to come back the next sunday and say i was wrong about that i said that but that's not right and the big question is what are the things that i said that i didn't realize and nobody you know nobody you know including you is right about everything nobody you know including yourself is right about everything why because paul himself the spirit of god through paul said we know in part is that right we know in part we prophesy in part well if you only know part of it what's the rest of the the sinners there are parts you don't know and it's the part you don't know that can lead you to some wrong conclusions and some wrong ideas and you don't have to be you know wrong at heart you could be trying to do the wrong right thing and yet you've jumped to some wrong conclusions and again and again you'll see a partial truth here and a partial truth there these folks are partly right partly wrong these folks are also partly right and partly wrong they're just right and wrong about different parts and because they are not rightly dividing truths they are claiming this is the truth the only truth no this is the only truth and neither one of them are the only truth and neither one of them have a full revelation of any of the truths that they're talking about brother kenneth copeland said a fellow came to him some years ago all upset he said he said you are not preaching the whole counsel of god he said i don't know the whole counsel of god so how could i preach the whole counsel of god that's someone who has some awareness none of us know the whole counsel of god and as we're saying that that's why i've said before a person's spirit is more important than their doctrine why because all of us are imperfect in our doctrine all of us all of us are imperfect in our doctrine so that being said and known what becomes the important thing god is looking at our heart he's not he's not examining us based on our perfection of knowledge compared to him what must our level of understanding be like when he calls us his little children it's not a figure of speech to him we are in the very very beginning levels of development i sometimes get the glimpse that you know we think man we are we're so advanced in our understanding of this and we present it to him and it's like a daddy or a mother looking at a three-year-old's crayon coloring and he looks at it and goes oh that's pretty baby that's pretty let me see that and to him it's scrolling with crayons but he don't want to discourage you he's further than you been just come on come on next time we'll color the cat inside the lines it'll be even better but to get to thinking you have arrived and you got it and you got the full orb manifest and you no longer know in part you got it all now you are deceived and you can detect that by a haughty unteachable judgmental spirit and it's instead of you know focusing on the critiquing of the doctrine what should you be looking at try spirits pay more attention to that certainly you pay attention to the scriptures but you have to admit our understanding of them is imperfect that's every one of us it's our standard no question but we only know and understand it in part i know when i was oh what would this have been 30 years ago or so first starting in the ministry helping brother kenneth hagin at his place there in broken arrow oklahoma you talk about green so green so ignorant of the word and yet after i'd been there for a couple of years man compared to what i used to know man i'm i'm a giant compared to my previous self but that's just compared to me previously well can you see this but i and by the grace of god uh we had been diligent i know a friend of mine that we went we studied together and we'd be in school all day long uh all morning and then prayer school and healing school and then at night we'd go back and go over the scriptures that we went through in the class and we'd be up half the night studying scriptures and eating nachos and we met we grew we grew quick and we grew uh strong i mean you think things are popping in our understanding i mean every day and night we're just seeing and going glory to god and our life's being changed and we're being changed and it's wonderful and after two or three years of that then another year or so of me helping and volunteering at the ministry i'm involved now with some of the ministry and and i was there every afternoon when brother hagin taught and preached at the healing school well along in that time there began to be an excitement all over tulsa about some particular ministers and ministry and it was very exciting and i was i went to some of the meetings and man there were some surprising things happened and and amazing things happened and and uh uh boy the scriptures were right there and uh we were so excited about it and a bunch of the folks going to rhema got excited about it and and some of the staff got excited about it and and we uh uh we were going to these meetings uh different you know sometimes a couple of times a night during the week and we're also doing things at raymond all excited this went on for months and then brother hagin began to teach in in healing school one one week and he began to touch on some of the things that were happening and didn't call any names didn't uh focus on anybody personally but it was pretty obvious by the third day or so he don't agree with that he don't believe that's right or not just that he doesn't agree with it he's saying according to the word well that bothered everybody including me i thought well now hold on we've got scriptures for this we've got scriptures for this and he's the one taught us based everything on the word and so you begin to have to make a decision and several people like i said some of the staff there didn't accept what he said about it and pursued it even stronger and a bunch of the students continued to go and i continued to go but then during the day i'm hearing him talk about this other and i'm realizing he's he doesn't condone that he doesn't approve of that and then you hear people begin to say well brother hagin's getting older and you know moses didn't go into the promised land god's raising up a young joshua generation and he's showing new light to them that the older folks are are not going to get somebody say disrespectful this is one of the indicators of a wrong spirit even if the lord allowed you to see something beyond your elder would you have ever got there without them and all these people that were saying some of these things they found out what faith was 10 years ago 20 years ago through this man's ministry one of the ways you can tell the wrong spirit it is it is disrespectful and it is unthankful doesn't remember doesn't value doesn't show respect but i'll be open with you i struggled with this because we're we're young and we want to see a move of god right and we're believing for miracles and for signs and wonders and we feel like we're seeing some of them have we got scriptures the enemy quoted scriptures he had scriptures when he came is that right when he came to jesus real scriptures what should you be testing though not just that somebody's got a scripture what should you be testing the spirit of it i said the spirit of it well i i struggled with it for for a while and thank god brother hagin was just patient he just kept on every once in a while he'd get back on it again and he'd talk about it some more and he he shared personal you know he's a great storyteller and he'd share stories he said yeah when he's a young pastor it was popular in their area to have loosening meetings meetings so he said well i we he thought that's what's happening we should have loosening meetings so he said they had loosening meetings and he said we through the course of our loosening meetings we had every kind of manifestation you ever heard about and some you shouldn't heard about it but man there were gyrations and there were manifestations and there oh there was stuff happening and he said and a few months after that it became popular to have deliverance meetings deliverance meetings everything was a devil and you know there was devils in the flower pots and devils under the mats and devils devils everywhere and and so he said we had deliverance meetings and he said the same thing he said through the course of those weeks and months we had every kind of manifestation you ever heard of and some you shouldn't heard of and months after that there was a new move called get free sounds similar but some different get free and so he said then the same people that had gotten loosened and then they had gotten delivered came and got free and he said over the course of months we had every manifestation you ever heard of and some you shouldn't have heard of it and he said but i'm there pastoring and there with them he said we're in a country church out in the country most of my folks were farmers or ranchers and i'd go out to visit with he said sometimes i'd go out to the they're getting corn in and i just walk down the road with them and pull off some ears of corn and talk to them while we're doing this and he said and i knew that these folks have the same problems they had three or four or five years ago they're no better they're in no better shape and they've been through the loosening and they've been through the deliverance and they've been through to get free and they still are dealing with the same things no better maybe worse and he thought lord something's not right here something's not right here and so he begin to seek the lord earnestly and pray and do some fasting and he said the lord spoke to him i believe he said at the end of a third day or this he said son you're trying to get results from prayer that only my word will bring. and he made some adjustments does that mean something's wrong with prayer prayer is amazing and wonderful is anything wrong with grace only a foolish person would say anything negative about grace right has faith then been done awaited way with and replaced with grace how do you rightly divide a truth with other truths and your ability to do that is connected with the holy spirit but it's also connected to your experience the more you've done this and the longer you've worked with the lord the better armed you are and the quicker you are to see through things and quicker you are to detect a wrong thing which is why god gave us leaders elders spiritual fathers and mothers espos we're supposed to derive protection from this but many are not the lord said to me some years ago many of my people are not deriving the full benefit out of the gifts i've given them because they refuse to give them a place in their life that they should have oh it's great dazzle me with good teaching and preaching but don't get into my business don't think don't try to tell me this or that well the scripture says otherwise it should be protection for us and thank god by the grace of god the lord helped me to see that during that period of time i was sitting there i was pulled i'd go to these services at night and i think well and they've got scriptures there's scriptures we've got scriptures we've got scriptures for this i thought and i'd go back and listen to him and one day it dawned on me he's talking about again the get free meetings the deliverance meetings the loosening meetings i thought he's seen all this he's seen all this and i thought i don't see it but this man's got at that time 50 years of experience in the ministry and walking with god on me he said multiple visitations from the head of the church he's the one the lord sent me to get under to learn that's right yes sir right and lord if he's wrong about this show him and show me but i'm going to acknowledge i am ned in the first reader i am preemie baby and so i'm going to sit i'm going to sit and listen and pay attention i'm on a hook from that and i'm going to give this thing some time i'm not saying they're right or wrong i'm not saying he's right or wrong but i'm going to stay where god sent me and i'm going to show respect and not realizing it now looking back oh man it saved my hide it saved my hide it took me two years to see it all right so there's two years i'm thinking maybe brother hagin's wrong about this it was two years no i didn't talk it i certainly didn't say anything to him or anybody else i just kept my mouth shut and over the course of the time the lord showed me something here then he showed me something here i learned something here and over the course of time it came together for me and i saw no that's not right that's not right it wasn't a matter that he was right it was the spirit of god is right and the word is right but what i didn't realize is by me doing what the spirit of god led me to do it gave the lord time it gave him time to get to me and teach me and help me because he knew how ignorant i was and how easily confused and misled i was at that time he knew it if i had said well i'm going with the new move of god i'm doing this so bye bye brother hagin y'all are the old generation the moses that's not going into the new promised land here we go then exactly what the enemy warning would have happened he would have gotten me disconnected from the part of the body god had joined me to yes yes that was my link to getting the enlightenment i needed and now following off after a wrong thing not only would i not have gotten the enlightenment i needed i would have gotten further and further into darkness and confusion oh come on can you see this and might have woke up 10 years later when it became glaringly obvious but not what would have not happened those 10 years my training my development my growth a 10-year chunk of your life is nothing to throw away what did he say to try try the spirits we saw here look here again in james and i think i'm closing james 3 17 look at him well i tell you back up to 14 again get this whole thing because in this passage we're shown how to try the spirits and identify the wrong ones from the right ones when i say the right ones i mean of course the holy spirit and then those who are of a right heart and spirit thus listening to him and following him if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts glory not and lie not against the truth that's a wrong spirit verse 15. this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly sensual devilish keep going for where envying and strife is there's confusion and every evil work verse 17 but the wisdom that is from above is first pure it's not it's not mixed with a bunch of stuff it's pure then it's peaceable gentle easy to be entreated i noticed these folks that got so adama and what happened there were several people on staff they left they left i'm talking about teachers ministers that i really liked that were obvious i mean i was in some services with them where they were obviously a no i mean anointed move of the lord gifts of the spirit but then they decided they knew more than the folks god brought them in under them forgot that 10 years ago they were lost as could be didn't know how to get it out of the rain spiritually speaking and god used these people see a wrong spirit's going to be disrespectful and start talking like yeah well these folks don't have this revelation and so god's been showing them things for 60 years and now you after three have caught up and passed them now this is a sign and no wonder here in it if it was remotely true easy to be entreated easy to talk to and these folks weren't wrong spirit is prideful why because the devil is the most prideful of all a wrong spirit is pushy this is the only way i mean if you don't accept this then forget you we can't fellowship we can't that's acting like it's the only truth in the book well we have to disconnect from everybody and go on with this new thing god's showing us oh beware beware beware god shows you something and it's really him it's just going to add to what he's already been telling you it's not going to discount everything he's shown you it's not going to contradict what he's shown you full of mercy good fruits come on can you can you hear you don't have to understand all the details but are you getting what kind of spirit he's talking about wise godly wise kind easy to talk to no pride no i'm right you're wrong that's not a right spirit whether it's at your house or in church it's not a right spirit if you know the truth you see part of some things i see partisan things let's thank god for the part we see right and acknowledge there's a lot of parts we don't see but don't come telling us that your truth is the only truth that matters because you're not dividing it by anything else and that's a sign of error and don't be pushy inadequate like this is all there is and everybody else just spinning their wheels you'll find folks that get off then they start talking down to everybody including all the ministers like you poor chumps they might not say it but you can hear in the tone of their voice y'all don't even know what the gospel is you mean we just been blind wandering around out here in ministry for 30 40 years ain't got a clue who jesus is what the gospel is [Laughter] hmm keep read rest of it full of mercy good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy they're not different with this group than they are with this group they're the same they're consistent they're kind i'm so fine i'm not taking credit for the the scenario i just described to you it was the mercy of god i made it through that chapter in my life i'm pretty sure if i had been prideful and disconnected from brother hagin that god sent me and joined me to that i would not be looking at you today and our ministry would be nowhere uh in fact i i doubt i'd be in the ministry looking back at some things that phyllis and i were able to overcome and get through it was because of the supply of the spirit and the anointing and grace we had been under and the people that were joined to us hallelujah the following 10 years and the 10 years after that there's a place you're supposed to be it's a god joined god connected come on do you believe it and it's not surprising that the enemy will do his best to get you offended or hurt or lifted up in pride so that you disconnect from that why because he can't do much with you unless he can get you separated from your supply separated from the protection that comes when you're under what you're supposed to be under and in what you're supposed to be in a predator isn't he he's described as the lion as the wolf what he wants to separate you from the rest of the pack he wants you to be independent little sheep i don't need a shepherd i don't need anybody telling me what's right and wrong well independent little sheep get eat they get eaten you don't want to get eaten you know the psalmist said lord my soul follows hard after thee what does that mean that means if he stops quick you're going to plaster his back oh sorry lord sorry lord i was just i didn't know he was going to stop you want to be close to the lord you want to be close to what he joins you to you want to show it respect men and women even the ones god joined you to they can make mistakes we've already said they don't know everything but don't be in a rush to disconnect and unhooked looking back now i'm so thankful by the grace and mercy of god what happened is by me not breaking and disconnecting and running after what i thought was the great new revelation it gave god time time to get to me to help me in my ignorance and and some pride there was a lot of pride there and a lot of other things and over the course of the i told you it took two years for me to really begin to see that's not right and i mean i'm in the word every day but see the enemy is tricky isn't he he's very deceptive and he quotes scriptures doesn't he friend i'm so thankful just thinking back now i mean it must bring you to tears what phyllis and i would have missed if we had done that because i mean this when i'm talking about now it was before i had a place in the healing school out there it was long before i taught in the training center and it was decades before we traveled personally with the hagins and had fellowship with come on are you listening we would have missed all of that and looking back now all of that was so vital to us being able to do what we're doing today we needed every one of those years and the input and the help and what we didn't realize is what we were learning that wasn't even being said just watching how they lived you don't even realize you're learning it oh glory to god it is so precious and it is so devilish to speak disrespectfully of that it is so ungodly dax so pride proud and haughty like you don't need them you're beyond them now so such a wrong spirit what did jesus say come learn about me how is he i'm meek lowly of heart come you'll find rest to your soul hallelujah and you'll find your your place and you'll find your course and you'll stay on it and you'll look up one day and you're just where god wanted you to be you're at the right place at the right time you're trained you know what to do oh hallelujah that's what the devil's trying to disrupt that's what he's trying to stop but you're not going to let him is that right everybody's standing on your feet you're not going to let him we'll be talking more about some of these things i think don't put any words in my mouth don't say what i said or didn't say about anything remember what we talked about partial truths right there's truth about grace there's truth about faith which one's right both of them's right is that right you don't pick one over the other both of them's yours in fact all things are yours it all belongs to you you don't have to pick and choose it's all mine anyway hallelujah so believe with me over the course of these next weeks as the lord would help us that we see exactly what we need to and we get light go ahead and play softly just close your eyes hallelujah say it out loud father god forgive me for being haughty proud unteachable forgive me for any disrespect towards my elders towards my leaders towards those you sent me to join me to toward those you have used to feed me and help me any disrespect for that could not be from you i ask you to give me discernment show me how to try the spirits show me how to rightly divide the word of truth i seek not to judge any person but to know the truth and to live free hallelujah hallelujah in jesus name
