go to and fro from day to day that we might be ready when you come and hear your voice saying that good and faithful servant you've been faithful over a few things I'm gonna make your rule over many as your will has been carried out in us according to your grace and mercy by the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit Lord you will be glorified and we will be blessed in Jesus name Amen god bless you you may be seated [Music] you have your Bibles handy turned over the city fish in Chapter four and we're gonna begin reading we're just simply going to search the scriptures because that's what the Lord said do search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life there's no substitute for the Word of God and the theme has been thoroughly expounded on throughout this past week starting with pastor Pennock last Sunday night and of course pastor lamb but on Tuesday night and brother Bali Wednesday there's n Friday and of course last night the youth service and here we are again to see what the Lord would say to us through these lips of clay out of his word let's begin reading at the seventeenth verse this I say therefore and testify in the Lord that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind we're going to use except the rainiest method I think we get more out of the word when we do that we want to be excited and we look forward to excitement but if we are not receiving the word the excitement doesn't mean anything neighbor you can get excited about a lot of things and a lot of things can be said that appealed for your emotions and stir you but if you don't receive the word and sometime we get so carried away with the process of excitement that we omit the importance of our being in the service we need to receive from God so we're going to use extemporaneous method and that's the Lord that directs we will follow these are Christian people that the Apostle Paul is writing to that Ephesus former idolatrous who idolized Diana and who had false gods and who lived according to the flesh whose minds were blinded by the gods of this world and now they have come into the family of God they must understand the principles that they must apply on a daily basis and not only is that true for them that is true for us while we're new creations in Christ Jesus there's a process of receiving and growing as we receive the old life must be abandoned and for some people that is not easy for some people because of their lack of communication with God their lack of receiving the word their lack of spending time in his presence makes it extremely difficult for them to eliminate those hazardous activities that their mind has gathered up and they are still dealing with some of us don't even know what is in us until the tests come and that's why it's good that we are tested so we can determine where we are sometimes we think we're in a total control of everything and something will happen and we will find ourselves in a situation where we are reacting just like the old man well we need to come to grips with that we need to recognize that and that's why James said count it all joy when you enter into diverse tests in knowing the testing work it patient let patient have a perfect that you might be complete that you might be mature secure in Christ Jesus wanting nothing the eighteenth verse having the understanding darkened being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their hearts while he's talking to believers here he's reminding them of their former lifestyle in the lifestyle of those who are around them and he's reminded them of the importance of totally abandoning the old habit the old thought pattern the old lifestyle and not allow themselves to be influenced by the former characteristics that existed in their lives before salvation that is so important to us believe it God beloved God has done everything that needs to be done for time and eternity for us you see we have a responsibility we like to we like to harp on the grace of God and that's important because we wouldn't even be in the body of Christ but for the grace of God and but for the grace of God we would be down there in the gutter but then God want to make sure that we understand that there's a responsibility on our part that is to say that we must develop the growth that he has provided for us and we have to do that by applying his principles who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness or excessive lust to work all uncleanliness with greediness but ye have not so learned Christ that is the key are we learning Christ and I'm saying over and over again Saints first of all think use your mind don't get tired away so excited so emotionally excited and grad seeking emotional gratification that you're not thinking about what God is saying to you receive what he said to you how does you learn about Christ the gospel the Apostles wrote the gospel the Lord raised up Apostle Paul to give us the procedures whereby we are to implement what has been written in the four Gospels we must apply it and if we receive the word like we received the natural food to sustain our natural man what a difference it would make you see the word we learn about Jesus because he is the author of the world and if we learn that Jesus is so far superior to anything we knew before all of his teachings are superior to anything now these people were not ignorant people they were first-class in when it comes to art when it comes to philosophy they were very astute students they had a lot going for them in the natural politically and socially but their mind Dakin and we can find people in the congregation who has been running up this way for 40 years who hasn't learned anything yet they can shout and dash and press and make a lot of noise but when it comes to the Nitty Gritty of living holy living godly on a daily basis they don't have it and Paul is saying that you've got to make sure that you abandon all that you've brought along with you park it at the door leave it on the outside of your life you're entering into a relationship with Christ to learn about Christ to learn his way you've learned the ways of the world but do not let the world pour you into its mold you what you are because of and we like to talk about our our reach and some of us want to go back to our roots some others want to identify with our roots forget it neighbor if you found out the truth about your roots you might be some so embarrass that you want to forget it it's not where we came from it's not who who we are culturally it's who we are spiritually if you want to go back to Africa goodbye you want to be an African goodbye I want to be a child of God I'm not going to live in Africa I'm gonna live in heaven until Jesus bring me back and clean this earth and help me reign with him I'll have all kinds of Bibles that trying to convince me of who the biblical characters were where they came from and their contribution I could care less about that Jesus is my teacher and if you keep letting the devil take you back you're never going to move forward so Paul says I'm forgetting those things that are behind me and I'm trusting I'm putting forth all of my energy up I'm putting everything that I've got into it that's how important it is to get where I am supposed to be I'm not satisfied where I am I don't want to go back where I was I want to move ahead hallelujah the because and beloved let me tell you something else it's a dangerous thing to sit under the Word of God and ignore it you're playing Russian roulette because the Word of God is a judge mental process whereby God judges you you got to be judged by the word the word is living the word is powerful the word is sharper than a two-edged sword it pierces the dividing asunder of soul and spirit where nothing else can enter in the word is dead do you not know that God spoke everything into existence the word God said let it be where did it come from it came from the mind of God and God put it in burbled context and it happened don't you know that God's Word is forever settled in heaven and heaven and earth shall pass away but his words shall not pass away so if you want to learn about Jesus and you need to learn about Jesus you need to overcome the past by focusing on the present and the future and you do that by focusing on the word of the Living God you learn about you so what do you learn about Jesus well you learn that he and we will get to that a little bit later being past feeling haven't given themselves over to lasciviousness but we have not so learned Christ if so be that you have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in him not only is the truth in him he is the truth he is the truth in coronated in human play and he said you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free free to be honest free to be wholly free to live godly in a godless world that he put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts abandon the old traditional and and we need as believers we need to learn the importance of moving with God moving in the Holy Spirit not just coming to church and shouting and getting happy and falling out and but moving on in God in love in faith in dedication and commitment and sincerity in holiness and righteousness and truth that you put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust the old man the old nature when you've been born into the family of God you have escaped the old corrupt nature that does not mean that you don't have to deal with some of the past habits some of the past principles some of the past characteristics that you have embraced because your mind have been so so so fully engulfed by them and as we said last Sunday because we are prone to live by the five senses in many instances we miss God because we are not focusing on the sixth sense the five senses has been trained to deal with circumstances and conditions and needs in a certain way the sixth sense takes God at His Word and if we learn the importance of or this is this is beautiful I love this everybody is quiet everybody is listening I hope nobody's going to sleep if we learn if we learn and we need to learn that's why I say to you think don't just come to church to have church come to church to receive what God has provided for you don't get caught up in doing things because this is the way it is done follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will direct you and edify you and build you up and be renewed and the spirit of your mind that is where the battle is fought in your mind there's a battle for the minds of men the Holy Spirit is like a dog he will not force you he respects your will Paul says he's the one that teaches us how to pray he's the intercessor he indwells us he wants to lead us he wants to direct us into all truth he's the author and when he comes as Jesus he will take of mine and he will show it unto you he will give you the true revelation of who I am and neighbor to know Jesus is to want more than anything in this world to love Jesus we don't just have church to have church we have church to glorify Jesus to learn about Jesus to worship Jesus to honor Jesus to carry out his instructions in our lives and the mind is a battlefield for the enemy let nobody kid you if you think it you keep thinking it is going to become a part of your lifestyle and the Bible teaches us that we are to change our lifestyle we are to walk in the spirit walk in the Bible a new lifestyle we have to walk in the spirit so if you're going to be changed in your mind the spirit of your mind then your mind is going to become a channel for God's thoughts you're going to the best you're going to develop the spiritual sensitivity that will enable you to receive from God if you are not in communion with God only when you come to church you've got some problems God water direct us in all of our tears God want us to walk in the spirit our lifestyle must be changed to the point that we have the spiritual sensitivity that if we are about to do the wrong thing we're about to say the wrong thing our attitude is improper as it relate to glorifying God in what we are doing we ought to be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit our minds should be so influenced by him that we can use the sixth sense and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit the just shall walk by faith not by feeling and we think if we don't feel it if I don't feel it we have a head Church we've got to be able to shake and jump and shout and hoop and holler and run that's fine thank God you can do that thank God for all of that that's important your emotions must be healthy they must be sustained but beloved Baelor beyond your emotion there is a deeper depth jesus said he that believeth on me as the scripture said out of his belly or the center of his being shall flow rivers of living water if the Holy Spirit is going to take that which were long to Jesus and imparted unto us the first thing he's going to do if we are open to him and allow him is to give us the mind of Christ renewing your mind but you see that's a constant process because we are constantly being been bombarded by our surroundings and we are influenced by our surroundings rather than being influenced by the Spirit of the Living God I we started this process of building this church purchasing this land in an economic chaotic condition a recession if we had listened to people and had listened to the enemy we had never been here we start actual building during a recession but you see the God's economy has nothing to do with the world status the world state and we've got to learn to look beyond in our personal life with our families with with our friends with our relatives with the people that we associate with we've got to learn to be in a position in the Lord that we can relate to the Lord in every situation never getting caught up in a situation that you are totally out of control and you are frustrated and you angry bitter you were so hurt that you want to give it all up and how many times have I heard people say oh but they hurt me oh but I don't feel anything anymore well you're not living by feeling you're living by faith the five senses tell you that you feel you feel bad about it so you to nurture that feeling well listen what the Apostle Paul says about that and being renewed in the spirit of your mind and that ye put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness you see if there's a true holiness there must be a false one then God said come out from among them and be separate set the law then I will dwell in you and I will be your father and you will be my sons and daughters saith the Lord God Almighty therefore cleanse yourself you have a responsibility don't expect God to do everything and don't think it's going to happen because you shout because you scream because you holler because you before because you fall out because you speak in tongue you're gonna have to make the application of God's Word that's where the victory come when you begin to apply God's Word what did Jesus do when he was being tempted at his weakest moment he's a devil it is written and the devil will use the word to deceive you if you know if you're not thinking if your mind is not sensitive enough to the moving of the Holy Spirit to recognize the difference you will think because it is spiritual it is great it's got to be right because it is spiritual it is supernatural that's the way people are going to be deceived during the Great Tribulation because they're looking for something supernatural people are looking for a wonder work or 90 wonder when it's so simple in God's Word God want you as a person to be in his particular place in him so he can use you to his glory hallelujah the 25th verse wherefore putting away lying people will look you in the face and lie like a dog and I don't understand that kind of religion I don't understand that kind of holiness people will borrow money off you and tell you I'm gonna pay your surgeon said your time and you don't see them anymore and they don't have the grace to come and tell you you know I mean well but I just don't have it we've had people to leave the church because they got in the church of debt they got in my debt if you want to test the reality of a friend loaned them some money you'll find out how friendly they are people don't take anything of lying and the Bible said God hates a life a liar will not carry any sight and there's no such thing as little lied little white lies are lies a lie and God hates a lie and Paul said listen don't do it anymore you see their principle that we have to ignore and their principle that we have to embrace in the old man the old nature allowed us to get away with it but not anymore I know to God be the glory we're for put away line don't don't speak it if you can't do it you know we have people coming out so I need volunteers they'll come down by droves but they don't show up Monday morning that's a lie people sing a lot some of that stuff you're singing these songs you know you're not doing it you know it doesn't apply to you I'm saying you think think about who you are to whom you belong and what you are saying into who you are indebted to you're not indebted to the flesh to gratify the flesh or to satisfy the play you don't have to tell anybody anything that you can't do to please them you don't have to make people feel that you so important what's great about you every man speak every man truth with his neighbor but we are members of one another you see the body of Christ is like the Godhead and everybody who claimed to be a member of the body of Christ is not in the body Pride and people look at the church organization in this arrow I don't want to go to that church as too many hypocrites because people out of the church has had shown their old nature but you see the church has nothing to do with the with the the hypocrites the Church of blood wash born-again believers in Jesus Christ who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ who honored Jesus Christ in their lives being grants and not let not the Sun go down on your wrath in other words God is saying that you don't have to deny you emotions be realistic realize that you have emotion if you get angry don't Harbor a grudge don't even let it remain over night my brother and when your wife doesn't respond as you think she ought to turn over and go to sleep and say thank you Jesus I'm just bringing it down where the rubber meets the road you know what I'm talking about get up mad go to work mad come home bad dog Harbor a grudge in your heart get rid of it because if you don't you're gonna give the devil an opportunity to work you over you're gonna take the advantage governor you gonna miss God and you're gonna miss God's blessing and you're not going to grow in the Lord because you're not dealing with you you see your pride is involved here and God cannot grant grace to the proud he grants more grace to the humble so we need to realize the humbling of our souls and the presence of God will make everything work out alright Oh hallelujah don't be long the angry but don't let it turn into a garage and then the other side of that corn is that as we mentioned a few minutes ago we're so some of us are so sensitive emotionally until we never develop the spiritual sensitivity that we need to overcome our emotional traumas to grow in the Lord he hurt my feeling you know we used to pray together and you know I used to call that sister I used to call that brother and we'd have such a time we had church on the phone honey but I saw her in church Sunday night I kept trying to wave to you know she turned a head the other way so the next Sunday when I went back to church I walked down the other aisle I didn't even want to talk to you I'm so hurt well bless God who are you serving you don't you know hurt return to bitterness and bitterness will destroy you and that person may be praying all they know how for you they just wanted what a we give you an opportunity to get off of their back and get on with Jesus you don't hear me you want a shout and I ain't gonna let you shop I'm gonna make your thing I hope hallelujah you see we can't have what God had for us until we meet the condition that God has given us to live now we don't have to worry about the devil because Jesus has defeated the devil everything from the bottom of the pit to the top of heaven has been defeated powers and principalities has been spoiled openly we've got to deal with us oh I've been praying praying and praying and you know I just don't understand it I know I'm living right you need to deal with the little foxes you see it's the little foxes that spoil upon those things that people tell you it ain't no harm everybody's doing it well everybody is not doing it and God is not going to accept it so if you want to be real for God and you want to have God's favor in your life remember that God said he would not withhold any good thing from them who who walk upright who change their lifestyle who ought to be in their lives who obey me and serve me and trust me I won't withhold any good thing from them Oh bless God be not angry and still not let not the Sun go down on your wrath swallow your pride and say listen I am sorry and that's the hardest thing in the world for some of us to say especially when it comes to husbands in bars I am sorry turn it over to the Lord and pray for them and pray about it I had to learn that neighbor I had to learn the importance of dealing with me if I'm affected by everything that come against me where is that god-given grace and authority that he has imparted to me if I can't rise above the circumstances in the condition if I'm going to make excuses because somebody did something because somebody acted on seemingly because somebody disagreed with me if I'm going to be affected by don't you know the devil is killing two birds with one stone I'm not gonna let your problem become my problem if I can't deal with it and I can't handle it then there's something in me is telling me you're not where you ought to be you see sometimes people are weak and the devil take advantage of them that but the Bible said the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak but God said be strong in the Lord and in the power of his mind if we want to be strong in the Lord got to obey the Lord we've got to trust the Lord we've got the honor the Lord with us behind closed doors of mothers in the sanctuary anybody can be saved and sanctified in the sanctuary when the sounds are being sung and the preacher is preaching and the teacher is teaching anybody can feel good but it's more than a feeling neighbor the just shall live by faith the just shall take authority over the devil it bind the enemy and live godly when the enemy come against you with testing and trials and persecution you've got to be strong enough to stand and after you've done all to stand God says stand there for and after you stood for a while and the devil took off he'll come back but when he come back he won't find you standing in the same place you moved up maybe you was down here when he attacked you before but you stood your ground and because you stood your ground he had to back off so when he come back he got to come back with more ammunition because you moved up a little bit to see what God is doing to you he's spitting you he's testing you and I can pass the test he promotes you and you're a little bit higher so that devil that came against two dead will come back he'll bring some more but when he come back he'll pride that he still needs some more because you're a little bit yeah when you was when he were there a lot of times we blame the devil for things that he's not guilty of we're giving him glory instead of giving it to God instead of looking at me and say go hard I know that I ought to be able to handle this thing because you said to me behold I give you power to tread ha and Jesus is my head and because my head has defeated every demon every devil everything from the bottom of the pit to the top of heaven and I'm part of his family I don't have to put up with the devil's mess but the minister said the other night the devil has to get permission from God so stop glorifying the devil if you and I've been saying this all for years and years if you live in where you ought to live the devil should not have anything in you and if you don't have anything in you there's nothing he could do with you the only thing you can do it get you from where you are to where you ought to be you see some of us are not going to get down to business with God until it seemed like everything is wrong and nothing is working and we are not making any progress and we're not getting any strong and we're not growing in the Lord that looked like everything is going against it and then we go to God we go to God because everything else has failed go to God in the first place rather than the morning the psalmist said God you hear me in the morning in I'll be calling on you but God don't go away because I'm coming right back at noontime Lord I want you to be there in the evening because I'll be back you know why because my soul cries out for you deep call it on to the deep my soul Pat it out to be not as children cold I don't want to be famous I don't want to be popular I don't want to be recognized God I want more of you in order to get more of you I've got to come to you I've got to seat you so I'm gonna be like Jacob I'm going to get ahold to you and I'm not going to let you go until you bless me there's breaking I can't help it I've got to have the blessing give it to me God you said it the devil can't stop it I believe it I've got to receive it I won't let you go [Applause] if your mind tell you God say you hold on to it I don't care what to see I don't care what you feel I don't care what you say if your mind said God said it you could have it just hold on to it just stand still until Shiloh come don't move don't back off don't take down both run away go give up stand still and see the salvation of the law if you stand long enough shall overcome and when shallow comes joy will come and do for the night but job comes in the cars I'm waiting for daylight [Applause] stand on your feet [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] stop and get all of his garbage out of you mind from childhood you go to psychiatrists or psychologists and he can stretch you out on the on the card and take you back to you to your roots if you wanna but you can get into your secret closet and call up heaven If any man be in Christ Jesus he's a new creation I got a new mind I've got a new heart let the same mind being you which was also in Christ Jesus he was God yet he come descended and descended virgin born lived a sinless life died of a Paris death rose on the third day took the victim key from the devil took the Saints out of the prison and move paradise to the third heaven and said the holy goes back to indwell us and said when he he has called on the day of Pentecost he came down and when he came down the Saint went up [Applause] [Applause] halleloo I want to stop [Applause] you don't belong to the past cut all ties of the pack you belong to the now and the future what's happening now neighbor what's happening now I'm walking with God I'm living to live forever I'm living on Victory Boulevard I'm living over on overcoming Avenue yeah somebody says I once was lost but now I'm found blind but now I see the old life have nothing in me the new life is
