Scott Shelton | Session Three: M.E.A.T. Meeting Annapolis | May 2021

i want to read something to you john chapter 14 verse 30 hereafter i will not talk much with you for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me now that's the king james i want to read that in the passion translation i won't speak much with you i won't speak with you much longer for the ruler of this dark world is coming but he has no power over me for he has nothing to use against me he has no power over me because he has nothing to use against me i want to read luke chapter 8 verse 16 17-18 brother middleton mentioned this last night when he was leading prayer multiple times brother wright has mentioned it today and it i'm going to read it luke 6 8 16-18 no man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a vessel or pulleth it under a bed but setteth it on a candlestick that they which enter in may see the light for nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest neither anything hid that shall not be made known and come abroad take heed therefore how you hear for whosoever hath to him shall be given and whosoever hath not from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have now i want to read that again in the passion translation no one lights a lamp and then hides it covering it over or putting it where no one sees its light no he places the lamp on a lamp stand so others benefit from its brightness because this revelation lamp now shines within you nothing will be hidden from you it will all be revealed every secret of the kingdom because this revelation lamp now shines within you nothing will be hidden from you it will all be revealed every secret of the kingdom will be unveiled and out in the open made known by the revelation light so pay careful attention to your hearts as you listen to my teaching for to those who have open hearts even more revelation will be given to them until it overflows and for those who do not listen with open hearts what little light they imagine themselves to have will be taken away now bishop has said this two or three times tonight or more tonight and today two people can hear the same word and both get a different message out of it for to those who have open hearts even more revelation will be given to them to the point it begins to overflow and for those who do not listen with an open heart what little light they imagine themselves to have will be taken away that's what the truth will do i i i i find myself um i hate jury duty and i've had to do it five times well i had to do it four times i got out of that fifth one because that little clerk come rolling up in that little room where we were in gatamero it's such a patriotic opportunity to be on jury duty i said the devil is a lie and you only get to do this maybe once or twice at the most in your life the devil is a lie has anybody in here ever been on jury duty anybody been on jury duty more than once sir how many times have you been on jury duty four four yes well do you have any reason why you can't be on jury duty today no sign me up because i'm to set him free that's what i told the little clerk they set me free yeah now i heard it different than other little people in there that had never been on jury duty oh i'm going to be a patriot and i'm thinking oh my god i hate it one of the reasons i hate jury duty is because you're in there now don't start on me about all this law and order i understand all that and i'm not against it and i understand that we need law and order but the problem i have with juror duty is and it's just me it's not something's wrong with our system on jury duty you're not you're not making your decision on why they did what they did you're making your decision on what they did now i've been called more than four times been called more than five times one of them was a little brother stole the sack of groceries out of somebody's pickup truck left the tools left the radio stole the groceries because the brother was hungry but more than that his wife and kids that were in the car around the corner were hungry and he couldn't find a job but they didn't want us to make a decision based on why he did it they just want us to make a decision on was he wrong for doing it well i got out of that one too i don't remember what calamitous event took place to make that happen but the lord delivered me our flesh wants to look at what we do the holy ghost probe is deeper than that and the holocaust wants to know why you did it he wants to reveal the why of the what and we have made absolute profound decisions in our own lives and in the lives of others based on what they did would never stop to look and find out why they did it and you can deal with what all day long but if you don't address why it may not resurface in the same way but it's coming back and why is going to show back up over and over and over and over and over the holy ghost goes much deeper than that in the church we believe in praying everybody through if 20 people show up in your church on sunday your goal is to get every last one of them prayed through unfortunately that's that's where a lot of times our focus ends i know of a situation where a man was deaf when i say death i'm talking about the brother could not hear anything well a man of notable reputation that god uses powerfully was their preaching and god healed that deaf man completely totally restored his ability to hear hadn't heard since he was a little bitty child well a year later this guy was back in that same church preaching again he looks up and that little brother is in the deaf department again so he leans over to the pastor he said is he just down there you know how sometimes the person signing will sit and take a break and then somebody because i know that got to get tiring and so he asked he said is that what's going on the guy said oh no no he's he's not there to help do sign he's he's there to be signed to he said i thought god healed him last year he's well he did well why is he over there again what happened he said oh he willed himself deaf again he asked god to make him deaf and this evangelist said are you kidding me he said oh i wish i was but no no that's what happened why would he want to be deaf all over again he said because we didn't take time to teach him how to live with his miracle he didn't know that the people of god said ugly things about one another he didn't know that while he was sitting in church people were making fun of him behind his back he didn't he had never heard people murmur and complain against the pastor while the pastor was preaching until he had gotten a miracle and he couldn't deal with it he didn't know how to cope with it and so he went deaf again and uh it was by his choice and whether the lord made him deaf again or not or just let him have it his way i don't know how it happened but the brother couldn't hear again i do like principles and i understand them somehow other i don't get but the principles i i can land a plane on that i understand all that we're real good sometimes at getting one thing out and i mentioned this i guess last night or to day one we can get stuff out of people we can pray junk out but we don't go to the next step we don't we don't stay with them long enough to deal with the next step it's like when david gets talking about his exploits as the under shepherd to his father's sheep he said you know he told the king he said i chased down that bear and i chased down that line because they had stole two of my daddy's sheep and what happened son he said oh i overtook him he said when i got to that line he said i i smote him he knocked him unconscious he said well what happened after that he's well i delivered him out of the mouth of that line and then he rose up on me well what'd you do then well i killed him he said you know what that bear did the exact same thing i chased that rascal down and i knocked him unconscious i delivered that lamb out of his jaws and would you believe that old boy raised up on me and went after me well what'd you do i killed him too now i can't tell you that those two sheep were never taken again but i can tell you for a fact that that particular lion and that particular lamb never got another one we have people come in and out of our churches over and over and over and over and over and over and over and we are so spiritually enlightened that if we're not careful we'll sit on our sanctified pews and make statements like well i wonder how long they're going to stay this time well if they ever get the same holy ghost i got they'll stick no they'll be gossip like you are pray to god they don't get the same kind you got so i asked the lord about it i said why did people do that he said because you've you've never made their enemy your enemy you think that they want to go out there you think that they want to be lost you think they want to stray you think they want to be a drug addict or a liar or whatever he said something keeps taking them but all you ever concern yourself is with is what they did you never stop long enough to figure out why they keep doing it or you keep doing what you keep doing we we get miraculous things done in our life and god does things for us sometimes that we just we literally do not have the words to explain are to be grateful like we should and then six weeks later we're standing in the need of prayer again for the same thing over and over and and don't celebrate that you just well at least i didn't go out in the world oh god bless you you should have i mean you might as well have because we sat dead on a pew because we never i'm going to tell you the inner man has been the most neglected part of all of what we are above and beyond everything else we get prayer for our situations we get prayer for our circumstances we get prayer for our family we get prayer for our jobs we get prayer for our health we have a lot of temple concerns we do a lot of temple maintenance praying but that's about as far as we get a lot of times we don't go to the next step and deal with what's on the inside we don't we just pray long enough to get somebody home we don't pray long enough to keep them home we don't pray long enough to defeat what keeps coming and prying them out of the grasp of the master i think sometimes this is a hard statement to make i guess but it'd be okay i think some people have been saved too long really good i think i think memory lane gets so crooked and long that while we shouldn't dwell on yesterday i think there's some folks that are so sanctified they can't remember the mess jesus dug them out of brethren if a brother be overtaken in a fault ye which are spiritual restore such one in the spirit of meekness considering thine own self lest at any point you find yourself being tempted the implication is if you don't restore someone with a spirit of meekness you you don't even want to have you don't want to even be tempted i promise you you do not want the enemy tempting you if you don't learn the art of restoration you better learn how to restore somebody and i've seen people restore cars and and other people who didn't understand really what was going on come by and stand and look at them and ask them what are you doing why don't you just go get a new one you're spending so much money on this piece of junk if we're not careful we're going to let the old carnal man make us see one another that way god why why do you want me to work with this person why do you want me to deal with this why do you want me to spend the effort and the time why don't we just go win some new people well because they're still our brothers and they're still our sisters really it's a big deal i've got three children and on any given day one or all of them may just jump stupid and just be the most disobedient little children you ever saw but it does not negate the fact that they're still my children and if one does something ridiculous the other two are not allowed to talk about them and the other two are not allowed to get in their business and my children hear this all you better mind your business you need to be out of your sister's business you need to leave your brother's business alone you better mind your own business for us to have the value in the kingdom that we are supposed to have it can only be as a result of his righteousness in us the writer said the prince of this dark world's coming but he's not going to have power over me because when he gets here and gets to looking around he's going to find that he has nothing on me now he didn't say he was perfect he didn't say he had done everything exactly up to par the effects were prayer of a righteous man remember that one i don't remember when i said it but that word righteous means repentant the effectual fervent prayer of a man or a person with a repentant spirit availeth much now i'm not saying this is a license to go out and just do asinine deeds and everything's gonna be fine and god's not gonna have a problem with it that's not the case somewhere along the way we we've gotta stop beating ourselves up so brutally over what we've done and get honest about why we keep doing it people that really want to obey god and really want to go to heaven and really want to be used in the kingdom don't stop with what they move on to why the gifts of the spirit are awesome when they flow through us but they're even greater when they can work on us it's kind of hard to trust somebody with gifts that only operate through them but they are never allowed to operate on them you can be in prayer all alone and discernment can come upon you you can be in prayer all alone and revelation can come you can be in prayer all alone in a word of wisdom and a word of knowledge can come and god will begin to speak to you for you but if if i'm not willing to let that work on me how can god trust me for that to work through me in regards to anybody else the outer man will will line up with wherever the inner man is allowed to be and if the inner man is you know we say body soul spirit but if if we can get it to be spirit soul and body if we can get the spirit up here in the primary position to where the spirit now has the primary influence over the soul and the body then christ is not only birthed in us and formed in us but he's manifest through us i don't think the problem has ever between us in heaven i don't think the problem has ever been god trying to get his spirit in us i think the issue has always been god trying to get his spirit out of us well i want to be used in the holy ghost well i'm sure we all say that but at what price are we willing to be used by the holy ghost i said it today enoch walked with god and was not for god took him i really hope the day can come that i know a few years ago somebody wrote a book about them circles i don't the circle maker or some nonsense well a guy called me or texted me late at night and he said what are your ministry goals i knew exactly he'd been reading that little book and i said i'm not answering that question why not i text him back i said because you've been reading that little circle book and i know that my answer is not going to make you happy and when i tell you my answer you're going to think that your little buddy is just the most lazy slouch that god ever gave the holy ghost to no i won't man i promise i won't well i ignored him twelve o'clock came and went finally at one o'clock he caught me just eating him up he called me at one in the morning tell me what your goals in ministry are i said oh kid ducky i don't have any what see i told you you have no goals no then i stopped i said no actually i do i do have one i want to be obedient that's all i really want to do in the ministry is just be obedient but i found out that that sometimes i have a problem with obedience because i i have found myself in such great enlightenment at times that i was able to share with the lord a much better way to do what he wanted done that never pans out so i have concluded in my short life on this great planet of ours that the best thing for me to do is get me out of the way as far as i can so i begin to think about it how do i know if i've got me out of the way and then i read that verse of scripture for the prince of this world cometh repeatedly comes over and over and over he comes to see if the house is unswept and unkept to see if after i put one thing out did i replace it with something else that i allow the lord to impart to me the opposite of what he delivered me from if god delivers me from anger then i need to let him give me the opposite of anger if the lord delivers me from depression and hopelessness then i need to stay there long enough to let him infuse me with the opposite of that so that when the enemy comes he doesn't find me vacant and void and available but then i think one of the biggest tricks of the enemy has been to get us to embrace doubt and uncertainty and i've said this a lot all over the place and i'm gonna say it again i think one of the prevailing spirits if not the prevailing thing that we find ourselves dealing with oftentimes is hopelessness not just in the world but in the church we got people in the church who struggle to live consistently the way god wants us to live not perfectly but just consistently striving that are living like this most of the time just up and down and up and down and up and down just emotions all over the board and will be delivered for a while from whatever it is and just be running the aisles and just happy for jesus just full throttle and then all of a sudden there's a trigger and it gets pulled and it sends us back into this tumultuous season of emotions and mind games and whatever else and then here comes despair and despondency and hopelessness and i'll never i'm never i'll never i'll never i don't know what i don't know what i don't know what's going on i'm never gonna i thought i was i thought well here's all that self-doubt here it comes now well that's all the enemy needed he don't need me to go out here and rob a bank to have something to work on with me all he needs is for me to open a door in my brain unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think i said it last night if the enemy can affect what you think he'll change what you're speaking as a man thinketh in his heart so is he if it stays in your head long enough it becomes a part of your spirit and your spirit starts regurgitating all of that negative mess i don't like saying stuff like i don't know what i'm going to do well that's a lie you might can say honestly i don't know if i'm going to do what i need to do but we do know what to do take it to jesus lay aside every why did he say that first you ever stop to think about that one why didn't he say lay aside every sin and wait that does so easily beset you because sometimes the enemies the enemy's process of getting us to sin is to get us first to take a hold of weights because again we're not repulsed by weights they don't look like sin they don't smell like sin they don't feel like sin and we can justify having it in our life and the enemy is not trying to get you to take ownership or us to take ownership of stuff we can't justify having he's trying to be sneaky and get us to take ownership of stuff that we can justify letting being he he's all into getting the people of god to cohabitate with stuff jesus said run out so when he gets us to the place that we cohabitate with doubt i remember one time sister freeman was talking about the time brother freeman got his arm cut almost completely off at the shoulder and she said it was just a little sliver of meat holding his arm on and don't cringe if you just listen to that story about all that corruption running out of his leg and i don't all i said was a brother got his arm cut off nobody squeezed on nothing yet in my story so just hang on and um i listened to her talk about while they were in africa putting up this tent getting ready for a big crusade or something i forgot exactly the details of the story but whatever accident happened to him it cut his arm at the shoulder almost completely off and the doctors were wanting to just go ahead and cut that final piece of skin and be done with it and she wouldn't let them and she talked about how the lord gave her such peace and over the years and the lord healed his arm put it right back together and and it worked just like the lord intended it to up until the day he died a very old age but i thought a lot about how people go through and maybe i'm the only one that thinks this stuff but how how have some of these elders live the lives they've lived in harder times than what we live in and they went through things i'm not going to say they were worse than what you and i go through today although they may have been but i think each generation's trials are significantly difficult for that generation circumstances but people have gone through things throughout time that it's mind-boggling to think about how they got through sickness i heard a story about a preacher who was driving through louisiana one time and um he got to a pine thicket about where the tioga campgrounds are now in in tioga the upc campgrounds there used to be a pine thicket there and no dirt road he was on went right up through that pine thicket and he was getting low on gas it was late at night and they just pulled over on the shoulder there in the ditch really and he went off out in that pine thicket and cleared an area built a fire and told his wife he said get get what coffee we've got make a pot of coffee and she said well the kids are hungry they had two boys and he said i know we all are just let me go pray a little bit and see what the lord will do so he went out in the woods and began to pray and the lord spoke to him that everything would be all right and he was gonna he was gonna supply so he walked back to where the campfire was and his wife had coffee ready and he just sat down on a log and she said are you through already he said yeah the lord said he'd supply food our supplier needs well they look up and a german shepherd come loping out of the woods and had a brown paper sack in his mouth and he walked up to the fire and set that paper sack down turned ran back out in the dark well the preacher got up looked in that paper sack and there were four big old fresh cut steaks and his wife cooked those steaks up in day eight now there could have been something that had prevented that from happening not a devil on the outside but a doubt on the inside not not a circumstance in front of them but a crisis inside of them what if that man had gone out into the woods brother wells and charged god foolishly because there's something in him that in that moment the enemy said oh i can mess with his whole family he's got a root of bitterness in there and he's never dealt with it but i am going to exploit that tonight and i'm going to make him charge god foolishly i'm going to make him assault god and if he had done it that way there may yet have been a dog come loping up in the campfire but he may have three stakes instead of four the lord may have fed her and him two children let him fast till he wasn't bitter no more but sometimes those roots that get inside of us we don't realize they're there until we're going through some junk and then when crisis comes and when events take place that are seemingly beyond our control in that moment if we're not careful we start seeing things about ourselves and in that moment if i'm going to be an apostolic i have got to make one of my primary characteristics that of honesty with me about me and when god shines the light inside me and says that root right there i know you think you can live with it but you better hear me son that root right there is going to destroy you and your household deal with that mess internally well we can just we can just go right on for jesus we can have revival and god use you to do great things in the ministry and then all of a sudden i was in a church service one time with with nearly 600 people in it there was one man that one man that would not move i guess his mantra was i shall not be i shall not be moved and the whole place was just literally going up in smoke i mean the lord was among the people of god and that brother jumped up went and grabbed that microphone shut all things going on down and laid thee thunder to 599 worshiping saints of god in an effort to round about rebuke the one guy in there that wouldn't move 599 people were worshiping their face off but one little old buzzard sitting on the pew wouldn't even move his head okay well i understand that and if you've ever had a mic in your hand worship leading or leading a service or singing a song or preaching a message there's going to be times you're just going to get hung up on that one stump out there that just will not bishop was talking about that earlier well yeah the guy didn't move but there could have been a hundred reasons why but without dealing with why without walking down to where he was and talking to him and brother how are you find out what's going on with the guy no no we're going to shut 599 people down and rebuke him by rebuking everybody else and then got mad at everybody else again because everybody else after that shellacking they just got wouldn't get back in the spirit of worship he turned around looked at me he said i don't know what's wrong in here well i'm thinking no no sparky don't ask me um let me think today to inquire he said what do you think the problem is i said do you really want me to tell you the truth yes i said you are the problem and i'm not preaching what you heard me um ain't gonna do it i said now if you want me to preach you go apologize he didn't and i didn't so there were two problems one we still don't know why that guy wouldn't respond to the holy ghost and we still don't know why that guy responded to that guy instead of the holy ghost everybody else was oblivious to it we got to talking after church he said what would you have done differently i said well first of all i wouldn't have done anything the scripture says let them that are willingly ignorant be ignorant still if he's sitting back there out of ignorance i'm not going to go try to talk him out of it the holy ghost is moving the waters of trouble people are falling out talking in tongues it's insane in this place and you're going to shut the whole joint down because you got one little thread-sized root in you and the prince of this dark world and right up in the middle of a move of god that we have no idea what all god intended to do in that building you let the enemy pluck the one string you got on your little banjo and you were used by the enemy to derail whatever all god was going to do well the truth of it was he had some bitterness he had some anger he had some resentment he had some issues that he hadn't dealt with i know sometimes we say well i've dealt with it now there was a time when i told you the story i told you today about i don't want to name names but i got left on the curb i'm not going to say anybody's name i don't believe in calling people out like that but there was a day when i'd tell that story i meant well with it but it hurt it really did i mean when i tell you it hurt sister wright wanted me to write a book about it one day she said we need a cover you just and let's title it left on the curb and the only image i could get was a mad little fat kid sitting on the side of the street me as a child just this little boy that was just mad because i still hurt there was a wound it was done right god used it it was the greatest day of my life up to that point but i had some unresolved mess in me that when that truth he spoke to me that night was spoke to me you remember that night on that pier out at ruby's i bet you hadn't blocked that one out that was that was traumatic for both of us and everybody else at that table you you don't i can't remember i forget either one of them i remember every enunciated syllable that came out of your mouth and my reaction was deplorable and i walked out of that i'm going to be honest with you he he was right but i was not in my happy place it was not a good season what he said had to be said and quite honestly it had to be said exactly like he was saying it but joel scarred from that weekend too he was there we were sharing a hotel room until that all blew up he switched rooms got his own hotel room our relationship's never been the same not really i mean it's true he did switch hotel rooms he he got his own room but we're still close but there was a time when i thought about that because there was still something in me it wasn't easy to talk about i can laugh about it now that night on that pier ruby's i wasn't sure if i was going to be saved before that was all said and done well you push it enough times you find out i'll tell you and i never forget i walked out of that restaurant and him telling me to sit you sit down i'm not sitting down i'm not proud of this either in fact i'm saying it in great trepidation for yet on today judgment could yet still fall you want to talk about the grace of god it was manifested on the end of that pier that day and i walked out of that restaurant and him telling me to sit down the whole time mother was all upset and i went and found me a bench out on that beach and i just sat on it and i thought i i i'm done the first plane i can get on and get out of long beach california and go home i'm going home i am done well there was something in me that gave up a little too easy and god was trying to get it out of there but it was kind of like that that curb issue i thought well the brother's coming he's going to come out here on this beach and look for me he did not i never saw him when they came down that pier all i know is brother howard came and found me and when he came walking up to me had my jacket and he said oh god you're coming with me i said brother howard don't make me go get in that van with him i i don't think i can take it you're not riding with him you're riding with me okay you promise yes i promise we walk up to that parking lot and he is sitting behind the wheel of that minivan in the nine and three locked down position out that windshield and i thought they have conspired against me it's over and brother howard sensed that fight-or-flight deal and there was no fight there was flight i was icefix turned around walked back down on that beach i just couldn't i and the door opened on that minivan do you remember this brother joel wright he burned your brain too didn't it the door opened on that van and the bishop got out and i thought oh god it's over now he's fixing to rip my head off and he put his arms around me and hugged me and whatever had been in me died i thought god would have had to have burned it out but he didn't just one embrace and that thing in me that just would not die suffocated and died right then there are things that are hidden in all of us that we really don't know are there until things come that challenge us not externally but internally be careful not what you hear not if you hear be careful how you hear there was a lot of instruction not long after that my daddy said to me he said if you will listen to that man and do everything he tells you you're going to make it if he'd have told me that before i went to long beach i'd have probably resisted it because we'd already been having conversations one day the phone rang and i was at my grandmother's house and he calls and i was standing on the back steps of her porch looking down through that valley behind grandmama's house there and there was some deer down there under the pecan tree and had a cup of coffee in my left hand i can't get it out of my head and the phone rings and i picked the phone up off the porch rail and i see it's him i said hello he said you know what your problem is no sir you're not dead yet i said what do you mean i'm not dead yet do you have you forgotten how what my world looks like right now he said the fact that you're arguing with me about it proves that god's right you're not dead yet and he hung the phone up on me because the prince of this world was coming because what i haven't told you is the day after that night on the curb and i know some of you will say i don't believe that stuff happens i don't care what you believe the night after that that night on the pier and the night on the curb two separate nights or was that the same night same night that's right it was ah yeah i mean i have surrendered at this point i get in the van with the brother and then get left on the curb after all of my dying but what i did not know was that on the morrow after brother howard and i went to eat lunch and he brought me back to my room i don't know have i ever told you about this and they were playing golf probably trying to get as far from me as they could i'm sitting on the foot of that bed looking out the window and all of a sudden i hear something i felt something and i turned and looked and a dark shadowy man stood about ten feet from me wasn't what i thought i saw he was tangibly standing in my room and he said i'll never treat you like he did and he said if you'll give me those gifts that you were born with all your sensitivities and the gifts that god gave you i'll never leave you on that curb if you'll give me who you are and what you are i will never let you go through another season in life like this one i will give you notoriety i will give you wealth and everybody will love you which was a straight up lie but he said i need you to trust me and i'll give you everything you want well something i learned a lesson that day you better figure the difference out between a blessing and a bribe they're not the same look the same feel the same and sometimes spin the same way but if you had not done it if you had not been that hammer when he came that day only the lord knows what my response to him might have been only god knows because the prince of this world is going to come one way or another and when he gets there if he finds any little bitty string or button he's going to poke it or pull it and in one swift smooth movement he can unravel everything god has tried to put together careful how you hear if you can't hear the word of god with a pure heart and a right spirit my recommendation is find an altar and stay there until it doesn't hurt to hear it anymore because if we have darkness and if we have something obstructive in our heart and we cannot hear truth with an open heart that spoken truth will rob you of all you think you have we don't just hear it differently but it does a different work inside every one of us if our heart is pure when we hear the word we take that word to the altar and say lord do this in me work on me but if we're bitter if we're full of doubt if we're full of fear that's why when you get sick at your stomach the last thing in the world you want to do is eat because if you're nauseated and throwing up guess what you put more food in there it's coming up too and when there's stuff in our spirit that should not be their stuff in our heart that should not be there and the word of god has preached to us guess what happens we just regurgitate not just that i've been so sick at times and i don't know how you are i hate to throw up even though you generally feel better when it's over i will lay on a cold tile floor i will put a wet rag on my throat one on my head just all kind of stuff to try to keep from throwing up and the last thing i want is to even smell food and i think to myself if i can just not eat or swallow anything right now i think i can keep this down and we don't realize that our spirit man gets in that same condition and we come into the presence of god and we get into where the word's being preached and we're in a bad spiritual condition and all of a sudden that preached word comes and we take it into our spirit when it hits that sour spirit guess what happens everything that we thought we had we just regurgitate it all out the prince of this world is coming and if he finds anything when he gets there he is going to exploit it for his benefit and for your ruin our ruin i don't i don't want to ever get that close again to the enemy having something in me that he had that much access to that's as close to that as i ever want to be again which is why i keep saying that 2020 should have been for all of us a time of inflection where we start looking inward to find out what's in here see if there be any wicked way in me because anything in me that should not be will cause me to lose what little ground i think i've gained when truth comes stand with me now i realize it's almost 10 o'clock but i think i would be out of the will of god if i didn't say and encourage us to spend a few minutes praying somewhere if you want to walk and pray walk and pray but get honest with god about you for a few minutes even if it's just 10 minutes get honest with god for a few minutes about you lord would you search me and try me and see if in me there is any wicked thing go ahead find yourself a place to pray and again you can sit where you are walk stand lay down whatever you want to do but take a little bit of time before you leave and and open your spirit up to god open your don't don't leave anything off limits to him
