More In Mind - Pastor Ron Vietti - Valley Vegas Church

father God come through the words today and talk to us and we're gonna believe you to do that thank you ahead of time in Jesus name Amen if you're around me at all when I pray I always say and I do not believe in long prayers and I always pray a short prayer I give these people prays long prayers and I go they say Amen and I go what am we saying amen - I don't even know what you prayed you praise sentence after sentence after sentence after sins I don't even know what we prayed we don't need long prayers father come and heal father come and talk father clear up my confusion I tell you we'd be smart if we just prayed little sentences are - and Amen then we know we're saying Amen - so be it I'm the people sometimes I'm not used to Pentecostal circles when I was younger I did but you'll get together and usually we get together one person prays everybody else is silent but you eat with Pentecostals they're all going and Jesus hallelujah whole thud they're all praying and I'm confused I'm gonna can hear my I'll just start saying amen to what this person saying next to me you ever see that is this everybody's pregnant there's no unity there's no there's no direction you know and you're going yeah god bless his confusion we just finished the sentence we've just finished a series called more in mind ah Scott has more in mind for us than we realize a way more we're living below the Status got one slip remember those bracelets WWJD what would Jesus - today some people think you're kind of corny if you wear those and I hope no one has one on right now but I'm not saying we should bring the bracelets back but I think we threw out the idea too quickly we should always be asking ourselves what would Jesus do because we are the body of Christ see Jesus he didn't live the way we live what would Jesus do I know one thing he blasted the religious Pharisees Jesus did that now have you thought about it the religious Pharisees oh they just represent a group of people who wanted to please God without Jesus I say that again they wanted to please God without Jesus you can't please God without Jesus you can't please God without the Holy Spirit but Jesus he broke all the rules he was not a traditional rule keeper he was a biblical rule here but not a traditional rule keeper he hung out with a rough tough crowd Jesus brought the wine to the party one day he made it go go think about that for a while I've had Christians two years ago but it was just like grape juice it really well-known oh the the people said the stuff where the punch was the best stuff last that a punch - where'd that come from they said Jesus made it Jesus you know he hung out with the prostitute and the tax collector in the commercial fishermen mmm he didn't put anybody out of the group he loved everybody he was not exclusive Jesus didn't condemn the lady caught in sin today we talk about him we gossip about him I mean the day she was caught in the very act it was like I see Jesus chewing on a blade of grass going sweetheart where are those that condemned you who were who's gonna stone you here go sweetheart and don't stand again you hear me that's all I mean Jesus you know he never as far as I know named a heretic by name but all we we write books on them and we name him Jesus didn't have a judgmental spirit he really didn't he allowed for diversity in the church I was reading the other day where he said he who is not against you is for you in Luke Knight but then two chapters later in Luke 11 it seems as though he contradicted himself when he said he who is not with me is against me did he contradict himself absolutely not just look at the context of those two two things that he said in Luke 9 he was talking to some people you've always really taught me the disciples disciples came to Jesus said we see this group of people over there and they're casting demons out of people but they're not part of our group and Jesus spoke to that I think the spirit of that whole thing is there's gonna be groups of Christians that don't do every little thing the way we do it but there's still part of our family they don't have to be a part of Valley Vegas and so Jesus looked at them said no they're doing the right thing they're there they're promoting the kingdom and he says in the context of that he says who is not against you as for you but later in Luke 11 he reversed that because he was casting demons out of people the Pharisees came along and they said he's doing this by the power of Satan this is evil this is this is not good and Jesus said something we need to all hear he's a few see me casting demons out of people by the finger of God realize the kingdom of God has rested upon you we're one of the few churches that doesn't do deliver we do deliverances and that just means the kingdom of God is here it seized upon you so what Jesus said in the second instance he goes you know what he says for people who were saying that were not of God were of the devil people who are denying the basic foundation of what we believe in those people aren't with us and he said in the context of that he who's not with me is against me so you see the difference he's given a lot allowance for a big diversity in the Church of the people who believe in their same foundation they believe that Jesus is the Son of God but then the people who were out here not believing in the foundation he said there they're not with us and so it makes perfect sense there's no hypocrisy there whatsoever Jesus was radical and we don't get Jesus today we're not studying his life enough to know that he was totally different than us I mean last week if you were here I live streamed in and I tore apart a portion of scripture verse says it Jesus one day would to get fruit off of a fig tree they had no fruit so he cursed it and in the next day or two it was totally dead and the Apostles go wow that is crazy he's don't think that's crazy just have faith in God he says if you say to the mountain be removed and cast in the sea it will obey you for whatever you pray and say it's gonna happen and I told you last week I know you get nervous would I bring out those texts that Jesus spoke to the fig tree he said speak to the mountain that bothers you and you say heresy you say no you're speaking to brother cells like the faith movement I didn't say it Jesus did heresy is usually a truth pushed too far but jesus said there are times you got to speak to your problems whoa that's not heresy it's that's what what he said and Mark you got to have a problem with him and not all the time but there are times and it was so funny because God is so good sometimes because he knows me he said I want to always encourage you that you're on the right track in between services last Sunday one of our tech team members came back says oh my gosh you got a pray for me pastor I got better pain all morning ever since I got up in my thigh I said on the basis of 1 to 10 what is it a 10 plus please and I started laughing aha I said I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you I said watch this father got to need your help in Jesus name paint I get out of my hands and knees I said in Jesus name pain be gone I said be gone I said be gone be gone be gone be gone she was all my gosh it's gone it's gone I said ok God just did that to demonstrate in some situations she went back I was about 15 minutes later still gone still gone 30 mins later still God is still gone now see in the context of that teaching last week I made it very plain that you can't do those kind of things unless there's faith in your heart you can't have faith in your heartless God spoke it God told me to do that there was a reason for it you can't do that arbitrarily in all situations but she had a job to do and she couldn't do it she's very very needed back there she couldn't do with that pain that was God's will and I knew it immediately so I spoke to the problem and it worked and it's done that for 47 years in the situations where God's telling me to do it Jesus didn't go around curse and fig trees arbitrarily we already know in context but Jesus as I do nothing less the father says to do it or whatever so he had told him to do that under certain conditions there will be times when the spirit guides you to speak to the problem you'll have to know from God when those times are or it'll turn into heresy do you understand that I hope so now we're following Jesus we should pattern our lives after him Gandhi I did a term paper on him in college even though there's a lot of quotes that are attributed to him that he did not make Gandhi apparently he liked the person of Jesus but he didn't like Christians even though he didn't make some of the quotes they attribute to him if you read Gandhi Gandhi basically said you Christians are poor representations of Jesus and you know Jesus can I use this word for lack of a better one he was pretty cool I believe with all in my heart if Jesus came back here today he'd be very popular with a certain crowd of people because he was just cool I mean just just cool and I believe if Jesus came back today now sir people would hate him and the religious community would hate him as usual on and on but I think he would have a pretty big following I could see Jesus today if he came back to Vegas probably up and down Fremont Street pretty regularly talking to people praying with him he might be having lunch with a Hells Angel maybe a head of the LGBT community having lunch with him we go what's he doing with him ministering to them and talking to them if you caught him out in the streets on CNN or Fox News he'd probably look at the camera and say I'm telling you now America repent repent come back to God if he was here in Vegas he'd probably have his services up at Red Rock Canyon maybe people get their lawn chairs out on the hill up there saying some radical things I'm with Gandhian I love Jesus in that fact I think I just think he's cool just sound of God but I hate religion don't like it at all see we need to make Jesus happen on this earth stay with me this is gonna get a little better it's gonna be a little a little bit easy today but it's gonna get better see the series has been more in mind God has so much more in mind for us than we realize most Christians are living way below the level that God wants him to live Paul got it stay with me Paul got it look at real quickly some verses look at Ephesians 1:18 1923 Paul says I pray that the eyes of your heart might be enlightened Paul says there's no way the average Christians gonna get this without prayer I've gotta pray that they see it in their heart he says that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you will know what is the hope of his calling in other words you will finally get it why God has put you on this earth you'll finally get the calling that's what I pray and for that's what I pray for for the Vegas church that will get the hope of his calling and he says what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints and what is this surpassing greatness he doesn't just use the word greatness he really gets into it he's time praying that God's people will see the surpassing greatness of his power Dunamis toward us who believe now if that's true we'll not get in them because we should have power these are in accordance with the working of the strength of his might and he put all things all things all things in subjection under the feet of Jesus and gave him as head over all things to the church which is his body the church is his body the fullness of him who fills all along Jesus went back to heaven he's the head were the body were still connected we're supposed to be doing the work of Jesus still today regardless of what the religious folks tell you well the gifts of God had passed away Bologna Bologna Bologna we are still the body of Jesus Christ in this world I know it's redundant but let me just say real quickly sometimes I feel sorry for God because we're the only body he has and right now I met a lady the other day and I can't even fathom it she's walking through cancer it has no relatives no friend has a nobody she's walking through it all alone and Jesus looks down and God looks down the Father and he goes if I had a body I'd go out of my way to walk through this with her Jesus sees the prisoners in prison and he's made his plain as a nose on her face were to visit them were to write them letters some of them get no mail every week and he's saying walk with them I could go on and on he sees the person in the hospital saying I need so I feel sorry for God his hearts breaking what if I just had a body I would go I would help them had a pastor here three days ago right me arguing scripture one to argue scripture argue doctrine and I basically said to my wife and to myself I don't have time I'm too busy loving and caring for God's people I don't have time this is some past this is their whole world arguing scripture like that's what were put on the earth to do you know some churches have classes on how to argue I'm not gonna argue I'm just gonna love him into the kingdom no God put us on this earth and he strengthened us and empowered us to do a job Old Testament story Samson Samson was put on this earth with a plan in mind God had a plan for him for his even born putting him on this earth empowered him with physical strength to accomplish this detailed plan now when I was in Sunday school when I was young they'd have to flannelgraph someone have a story of Samson it'd be this big old you know roided-out dude steroid it out there's Samson see the Bible says no one knew where his strength came from he might look like Barney Fife he might look like mr. Rogers in the neighborhood we don't know they said they couldn't figure out where the man's strength came from ah listen to me this is so important I got a lot to say what time is it got about 25 more minutes can you hang okay Samson lived with a supernatural strength that God gave him to do his will on earth unfortunately he didn't do it right that's a whole different sermon for a different time but like Samson I have been given super natural strength in order to accomplish God's will on this earth now listen to me this is important you get this liket look at 2nd Corinthians 4 and start with verse 3 it says and even if our gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing look at the Greek word for perish it means to destroy fully to loose to be deprived to be deprived of eternal life look at the next two verses these people who the gospel is veiled to the god of this world Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ whose the image of God for we do not preach our sales but we preach Christ Jesus as Lord and ourselves as your bond service for Jesus sake for God who said light shall shine now the darkness is the one who has shone in our hearts to give through us the light of the knowledge of the glory of the gospel of the face of Christ same verbiage as verse number four you say what is that saying Satan has blinded the eyes of the unbeliever they don't see this glorious thing that we're living they can't see these blinded them but God says I have anointed you and empowered you to live the life before them in such a way that it will overpower their blindness and they'll get a glimpse of what's going on our job is to employ the supernatural strength of God to overcome their blindness and let them get a glimpse of what this kingdom life is about when when I say something that comes from the throne room and I get real stoked about I usually repeated a couple times but I saw acts 1 and 8 as I said a week or two ago totally different some time ago when I was reading it it says but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit come upon you and you'll be my witnesses in these places in my mind with a Holy Spirit's guidance I really believe there should have been a pause in that verse but you will receive power Dunamis dynamite when the Holy Spirit has come upon you I think it should be paused and by the way you're going to be witnesses in all these places and remember I brought out to you the definition of Dunamis power and I'll read it to you again it says inherent power residing in the thing by the virtue of its nature once you get acquainted with a Holy Spirit and his power you're gonna start doing all these crazy stuff all these God stories and by the way you're gonna be a witness to everybody around you we've cheap in that verse they well God's given us power so we'll go out and share the spiritual laws no he's given us power and through that power walk people are gonna be witness to everywhere you gotta go oh my gosh is that really true see stop depending on your strength your wisdom and your knowledge to do what God's called you to do he tried to tell us we're like branches hooked into the vine where to get our sustenance from him see stop trying to use your power to love the unlovable because you're gonna fail ask God give me the power to love this unlovable person and let him flow through you I'm gonna preach it thank you I'm going to when someone asked you to pray for them don't depend up on your own mind too pricey right now Lord God I'm gonna pray for them give me the prayer you want me to pray in Jesus name and make it short for pete's sake to persuade people that God loves him you cannot persuade them you have no power to persuade them just do what God tells you to do and say and leave the rest to him because you're yoked with him let him do his part you do your part let him do his part I mean I love living this life it's the pressures not on me had a lady write me on Facebook the other day she said please would you help me with a young lady that I'm communicating with this little girls through hell and back and she's suicidal I think would you help me I said have her write me the girl wrote me I said what's up she said pastor I don't think God's even real hardly she said I I was born my parents tried to abort me before I was born they gave me away gave me to a family that abused me I only had a brother and somebody else they died I just need God to speak to me and let me know he loves me I said okay we got a deal I want you to go to VBS org scroll down 10 or 12 sermons get down on your knees right there and pray a very simple prayer say god I need for you to talk to me in Jesus name show me which sermon to pick then pick one randomly get a notebook out in notes sweetheart cuz he's gonna start talking to you and I just left it I did my part now God the rest is up to you do you believe he did I haven't heard back yet I haven't been on I haven't been on Facebook but I'm sure that if she was open that was crazy when you get acquainted with the power that Paul prayed that you would see that lives in you you'll just start accomplishing God's will it's crazy and I know this is rendered I know it's simple redundant but don't you get it I know I'm simple but the Bible is said it I'm gonna do a sermon some time ago is right there unless you become converted and as a little child trial-like faith see a Bible says that when you come to God you must believe that he is and that he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him I believe that with all of my heart know when I get up in the morning this is my my thing every day I go for it god I see okay god I get it all the junk out and I got a bunch of junk in here I got to get out but I'm as mad as anything it's so and so I wish you would just spank him real hard God but I give him to you is just you deal with him they're a jerk sometimes but you deal with them I don't want to carry it and then I go to God I said gal you know my granddaughter's need to marry the right guys you got to get a get the right guys in their life that love God you've got to do that and I pour all my tears out in him because he says cast your cares on me I care for you and there's a reason for it so I cast them all on him I was okay now he's working he's worked oh yeah he's working why because I believe he's working let it be to you according to your faith if you don't believe he's working he won't work for you but it worked for me because I believe he's working and then what I do is I said god I want your mind today I want your spirit and I asked for it let's say I'm going to work and I work at a secular place of employment let's say and I go into the speedy store to get some gas nice turnout see the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Wow I think I'll get two dozen of those and bring them to work with me today because Jane and Sally both say that they never have time to eat breakfast in the morning and they would probably pretty hungry so you come in and you say hey guys I was in the store today and I felt like God told me to buy these doughnuts because Jane and Sally's here I know some of you don't eat breakfast and and I don't want you to go hungry so I I feel like God told me to give these to you and they'll go wait a minute you say God's in this he cares that we're hungry in the morning yeah he cares see the Bible says that the kindness of God leads to repentance and repentance is a change of mind and change of heart when they start seeing that enough through your logo wait you're serving a god that cares that we're hungry this morning oh yeah let me tell you a story in the Bible Jesus was out preaching one day and he had compassion because they hadn't eaten that's the god I serve it is our job to knock this blindness to blow through this blindness with an anointed love to show the world what our God's like that's what Jesus did okay clock stopped moving stop moving in Jesus name stop moving someone has a headache and you oh man hey yeah you got a headache like took three advil the other day and it really helped me you got some advil yeah and you walk away you're going probably pray for them wait a minute I asked God to create thoughts in my mind today you go back so you can I pray for you did you see how easy it is I know I have to keep modeling this for you over and over again this is the way I've lived 47 years my family thought I was crazy when I birthed a church back when no one started churches they thought it was crazy when the Holy Spirit's that started get a little closet and started started Church for me and I'm like garlic wants a ton we had 15 teenagers and and now let me leave you today with three real simple things you need to see in order to be more of what God wants you to be you guys see these three three things there's always a bunch of but I just give three extra ones the first one I want to see this right here if you want to be more than what you are now you have to see that our destiny is affected by obeying the Word of God take you back to first Kings 13 but let me give you an overview after King Solomon's reign in the Old Testament the Kingdom of Israel was divided into two different kingdoms two of the tribes said we want as our King King Raya boum who was Solomon's son 10 of the tribe says no no we want King Jeroboam we don't want King rebel and so the kingdoms split and so when it's split and in the Bible when you're reading about the two kingdoms after the split one is called Judah one is called Israel so Jeroboam he took his ten tribes and went away up northern Israel if you go to Israel we'll take you up there and he found a city called dan and beth-el two cities and he goes you know what I need to make a place for the people to worship because if I don't they're gonna travel back down to Jerusalem where the two tribes are out they're gonna worship down there and I'll lose their loyalty so we said I'm gonna I'm gonna do my own thing I'm going to set up these two cities Bethel and Dan as the holy places don't want to tell you about you don't have the authority to make a holy place we've got a lot of men and women going to the ministry today as a vocation it is gonna work you have to be called by God and then he took and he made some altars and got some golden calves and put on there he started mixing idolatry and he went and appointed some self-appointed priests the warning of the tribe of Levi and he set up his own thing up there and God was ticked it was basically idolatry now with that in mind I want you to see something first Kings thirteen one and two now behold there came a man at God from Judah that's the good part okay to Bethel up north by the word of the Lord while Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense on these idolatrous altars and this man of God cried against the altar by the word of the Lord and said Oh Walter Walter he's he's talking to the altars stay with me he's talking to the altar remember what I just told you sometimes you talk to things he said Oh alter alter thus says the Lord behold a son shall be born to the house of David and Josiah by name this was decades and decades and decades before Josiah was even born and he says this Josiah guy shall come up here and she'll sacrifice the priest of the high places who burnt incense on you and human bones will be burned on you altar and then he went on and and this was a prophecy from a man of God now many many decades go by Josiah is born and Josiah was a man of God he's probably one of the best kings that Judah ever had Josiah wasn't like his father and grandfather they were very wicked men but here's a young man who broke the succession of wickedness some of you are called to break the person your families lives they've been alcoholic alcoholic alcoholic and you come along say no I'm breaking the curse I'm coming to Jesus I'm gonna stop this thing our family I came along and I know they were called to be ministers some of them they never did it never did it I came along and did it and now my son's preaching the Bakersville today my son-in-law is preaching in Ventura say my grandson told me the day I'll probably go into ministry we broke the curse now now listen to me so Josiah says we got it we got it we got to come back to God and so the temple I want you to see it as spiderwebs it's just it's been dilapidated and Josiah says we're going to refurbish so simple the temple we're gonna redo it so we sent crews in to start working the temple over to get it back in good order and while they were in there they discovered the law of God which is tantamount to our Bible and I pictured it over in a corner under a bunch of trash all dust all over and they go Josiah we found the Word of God the law of God in the temple enjoys oh my gosh bring it here start reading it too many things I know why we've I know why we've fallen now we've got away from the Word of God just like America is doing at the moment we need to rediscover the Word of God in America is what we need to do and so they took the Word of God and just I said read it to me and as they read it to it and he began to cry and weep and tear his clothes they said we're gonna go back and obey the Word of God and that's exactly what he did he made a rededication and started going back and obeying the word now with that in mind second Kings 23 15 through 17 furthermore the altar was at Bethel and the high place II by this time the ten tribes had been taken by the Assyrians and so Josiah goes up there and he finds the altar these blasphemous altars and it begins to tear him down and he breaks them down and he demolishes all of the altars and let's go to the next verse and when Josiah turned he saw the graves that were there on the mountain of the priests they takes the bones from the graves and burns them on the altar exactly what is said 100 200 years early had he did it and then the next verse and why he's doing this he says what does this monument that I see and the men of the city told him it's the grave of the man of God who came from Judah years and years ago generations ago and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel he said that's that's the man of God's grave who said you would come and do this very thing that you're doing now listen to me Josiah by following the will of God that he knew from the Word of God fulfilled his destiny I'm telling you I could take this a long ways when you obey the Word of God you are making your destiny when I first got leukemia I said God I had a four year Destin as I was definitely going to die what do i do what do I do and at that time we were making trips to Mexico he says you keep on going to Mexico keep on building houses keep on feeding these people you keep on doing what Matthew 6:33 says seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be given to you you keep doing that and your problems become my problems and tada Here I am today just by obeying the written word of God by obeying the written word of God what if we actually start obeying the Word of God I mean I'm not saying this beyond God it says to bless those who persecute you you know pray for your enemies what if you went up to your biggest enemy let's say he's a big employer and you go you know I brought you a present today and I'm praying for you that goes wide what if that's a guy that turns around it gives you a job making $300,000 a year you found your destiny by obeying the Word of God don't put anything past God I've heard stories that are that are equal look at Luke 6:38 it says given it'll be given to you they people we're gonna say yes to they will pour into your lap a good measure pressed down shaken together running over for your standard a measure we measure back to you what if we really gave our time energy and money just obey that God says there will be some stuff it'll come back to you divinely look at this next verse what if we obeyed this verse honor your father and your mother that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord God gives you you might lengthen your days by honoring your mother father month slow down right your mother and your father you say Ronnie don't understand I got a horrible mother and father they they were I understand that and I'm sorry for you but still find a way to honor them forgive them and honor them Oh XS 20 and 12 if any of you lacks wisdom come to God I can give you a verse I'm not going to cover the rest of these but if we would study the word and understand and then obey it I'm telling you it can lead you to your destiny that's what it says here me and the Great Commission I didn't know much when I first got saved but I just started going out and I told you I went door-to-door in a real rough neighborhood all myself every Saturday knocking on door say hey do you know Jesus I I got a few Bibles I did it by myself over and over again I was just obeying the Great Commission and again this is where I ended up at it's part of my destiny by obeying the word ok enough I get a look at two real quick number two to get where you want to go and God has more in mind for you believe in the goodness of God let me make these really short believe and the goodness of God if you do if you change your thinking and you believe in the goodness of God it'll make a loud statement to everybody we sing songs in the church a good good father we love that song a good good father our God is so good we sing all these songs but do we believe it do we believe that our God it's good I'm telling you gang I'm telling you telling you that our God is good but you must understand that our God does not view this life in the same way we view it we're made for heaven we're not even made just to be this this is just an interruption of the story listen to me you've got to understand that God has a different perspective than we do he sees from eternity he looks down from heaven see in this world we have been taught consciously and subconsciously to believe that we're going from light to darkness that's what we believe I mean we're always seeing stuff so negatively because of the way we've been taught but God believes the opposite if I had time I take you back to the six days of creation in Genesis and if you'll notice there it's very interesting on day one he did us stuff and day one was evening and then it was morning day two he did this thing and it was evening and then it was morning God goes from darkness to light he doesn't go light to darkness if you go with me the Israel on the Sabbath day everything changes we go into Tiberias Lake in Galilee and every evening the people love after we've toured all day they go into the town and all the lights are going the music's going there's fish markets everywhere everybody's the party boats boom boom boom are going in and out and it's just like almost so much fun well we come back in on Friday night and everything's dark now watch what happened it's the start of the Sabbath day the Sabbath day starts at night and goes in today in celebration God has always worked from darkness to light but in the world we work from lights darkness people get old and they get bitter if you ever see needs bitter people and their mouths are shaped like this and you don't cross them because they're miserable and they're gonna make you miserable too you know who they are there's a natural proneness from going from light to darkness that we go my life is over there none of my dreams can throw and now I have nothing to look forward to oh you do let me tell you something I have an advantage over you young people because I'm much closer to heaven than you are probably I feel bad for you I feel excited for me what does the Bible say about aging look at this first verse it says therefore we do not lose heart but though our outer man is decaying yet our inner man is being renewed day by day look at this next verse for we know that if the earthly tent which this our house is torn down we have a building from God a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens we know that next verse for momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison while we look not at the things which are seen but we look at the things which are not seen for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal that's why people look at me silly when I say I've asked God if I can live to be eighty five feet grant said I will have a dying birthday party at 85 if he grants it I'm gonna die it in five I'm excited I get my family to gonna go this is my dying your man [Music] Joshua's what you're gonna do Jemma so you should I I want to go out that way people saying that guy was so crazy in love with God he even told us when he's gonna die I'd like to die right in a pulp when I say Amen last sermon fall over they dragged me off not good for you great for me you say my wife says no you'll change your mind at 84 you watch me I will not I will not why because I'm going from darkness to light my life hasn't even started yet it's gonna start the day I walk into the kingdom of heaven I've gone from darkness to light oh my goodness where do I go from here I gotta quit let me say one last thing and then I'm gonna show you a video right here you gotta believe in the radical guidance of the Holy Spirit you'll never get to where you're going I'm gonna show you a movie clip that is a sermon all this self as we end I showed this clip oh gosh I think a decade and a half ago and I lost the clip I could never find it again I've tried googling it I found it again this clip although they don't mean to do it is the perfect clip to illustrate how we walk in the spirit see the Bible says the Holy Spirit is sent to us as a helper to come along side of us to help us in this clip you've got Tom Cruise there's a blind girl he's walking with and she's close to him the Holy Spirit alongside of us she's telling him to do things that he doesn't know why he's just obeying and it's leading him to his destiny take a look at the clip it'll speak for itself [Music] can you see them brother take it take it a man in a blue suit he drops it quick you see a woman in a brown dress she knows your face hey turn in here [Music] let's go wait can't stop here you see the balloon [Music] wait wait are we waiting for wait-wait-wait anybody got an ID anybody all right Scott Ramos take these stand everyone else follow me let's go he knows don't go home we've got eyes on me work and winter drop some money can't you put it in my hand [Music] is that not an amazing illustration of walking in the spirit how many times two weeks ago I want to do some of God says wait wait wait run just two weeks ago just lead me to my destiny by listening to him and the Word of God gang I don't know how to tell you I've lived this life for 47 years I can't come and just pump myself up to get you pumped up I hope you can tell I literally get excited about this life because it works and the more we learn how to walk with the Holy Spirit the more we're willing to obey the written word whether we understand it or not as we do that we will find our destiny so simple it's like connecting the dots let's pray father God Lord we are an extension of the church in the book of Acts nothing's changed we're to continue to walk with your spirit or to continue to pray the way you teach us to pray whether it makes sense or not we're to look like Jesus in this world and we must know that as we do it the religious communities not gonna like us because they're trying to practice religion without Jesus Jesus is our source help us to look more and more like Jesus let these people leave today knowing God has spoken he's here he's spoken to us now Lord I've done my part I've come I've shared I leave now and I don't worry about what happens it's yours to do with whatever you want
