Stay on Fire 🔥 // Anointing (Part 1)

they are going to start a series called the anointing and I want to start the first message today that will would talk about what is the anointing why we need the anointing how to receive the anointing and how to walk in the anointing the title of my first message will be called today stay and fire somebody say hey man stay on fire church a neighbor's they stay on fire check the other neighbor say it's time for you to get on fire anointing really makes the difference in the Bible prophets were anointed Kings were anointed priests were anointed sometimes they even anointed objects on a board Jacob anointed a pillar and he said that this would be the house of God priest would anoint different objects in the temple to consecrate them to god the word anointing is simple it means to smear an ointment on something we know that Jesus was anointed Jesus Christ Christ is not Jesus's last name Christ is just a Hebrew word for anointed so Jesus Christ thought it was necessary for him to be anointed how much more it is for you and I to be anointed by the Holy Spirit Jesus had no sin and he still need anointing on his life because the Bible says that he was anointed to preach see without the anointing your motivational speaker with the anointing you have preacher with the difference without the anointing you are a singer with a talent with the anointing you're a worshiper with the difference without the anointing you have a title of a father with anointing you're a dad that makes a difference in the life of your kids without the anointing you know we just preach information with the anointing we release importation revelation manifestation and every other Asian that is there in a book in Jesus name can somebody say Amen an orange makes the difference anointing is not about the numbers anointing is not about two looks anointing is not about the eloquence emotionalism anointing is not really about the manifestation anointing is the unction it's the it's the power of God that moves a person you can write this down anointing is the overflow of the life of God that's flowing through his dedicated servant anointing of the Holy Spirit is the overflow of the divine life of God through you as a consecrated servant of the Lord really what the noising is is when the overflow of God life comes through you in every area of your life it's very important to understand that Satan fights anointing the spirit of Antichrist that is at work today and eventually there will be the Antichrist a person that's going to fight the anointing but right now what's at work is the spirit of Antichrist the spirit of Antichrist is a spirit that typically works through religious people to fight and to try to belittle make fun or mock anything that has to do with genuine move of God Satan is afraid of the anointing because the anointing is his only threat the Bible says the talents don't break the yoke anointing does emotionalism don't heal people anointing does you know screaming and yelling as great as that is passion it's not what really changes people's life it's the anointing that changes people's lives and Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit he went about doing God's work and the Bible says destroying the works of the devil the anointing is that threat to the kingdom of the devil and that's like what he will do is he will raise accusation he will raise all kinds of Google stories and news stories against anyone who is anointed to try to blemish the reputation so that people be intimidated and frightened by them it's a spirit of Antichrist he fights the anointing he's ok with you knowing that jesus is the son of it Jesus is a good teacher he is ok with you knowing that Jesus is a good man but the moment you start going to decide that Jesus is full of the Holy Ghost and you can be full of the Holy Ghost that Satan trips over that and he will do whatever it takes to try to stop from that but we're going to be an anointed church we're going to be anointed Christians we're going to be anointed we have anointed homegroups and we're gonna have anointed houses anointed cars everything we touch will be anointed because we're full of the holy spirit can somebody say Amen when we were in the world we were full of darkness that's why we cursed that's why we lied that's why we slept around smoke got drunk and did all the stuff we were full of the devil being in church we are not full of religion we are full of the holy spirit and therefore we will live in the anointing of God can somebody say Amen put your hands together for Jesus Christ I want us to open the first samuel chapter nine verse 19 and verse 20 we will tackle the story of Saul and it says the following samuel answered saul and said i am a seer go up before me to a high place and you shall eat with me today and tomorrow i will let you go and tell you all that is in your heart but as for your donkeys that will last three days ago don't be anxious for them they've been found i want you to see something samuel meets Saul wants to see this Saul comes to Samuel about the donkeys because they were lost and Samuel tells them he says I will tell you tomorrow what's on your heart means that donkeys were not on his heart oh by the way he says the donkeys they've been found that means the donkeys were on his mind what was on his heart the next day Saul sends the servant away and noise him with oil and says you are the next king of Israel that's incredible Saul carried inside of his heart a dream to be a king of Israel but he was so embarrassed to tell anybody and the reason why he hid it so deep in his heart because Israel has never ever had a king does anybody here has a dream that has never happened in your family do you care is something that is so radical is so crazy that if you tell other people they will say you're nuts you're crazy what you have a dream are you going to do this you're going to do that and Saul had a dream to be a king he carried that dream he comes to Samuel because he had problems with donkeys and so Samuel says I'm going to tell you tomorrow what's on your heart about your donkeys that actually found so the donkeys were never really on his heart what was in his heart was his dream and his destiny see the problem many times in our lives is that the donkey's cloud the destiny sometimes the enemy uses our circumstances to cloud the real dream and the real vision and the real purpose that you and I have in a heart because the devil wants you to chase donkeys all your life if you want you to just live your life from paycheck to paycheck just finish school literally get a girlfriend get a car get a new iPhone getting you watch getting your shoes get this and get this if you want your life to be spinning in the donkey world but deep on inside you were born with a destiny and sometimes that destiny inside of you is something nobody ever has seen in your family tree and you close your eyes when you get in the presence of God and you see the picture of your dream tears rolling down your eyes but there is a fear in your heart because what you are dreaming about is beyond your wildest dreams that means that dream is from God because if that would have been from you it wouldn't fit in your tiny small little limited heart but if it's from God it will bury deep deep in your heart never apologize for the dreams deposited by God never shy away you might not be able to see them come through today or tomorrow but you have to understand through prophetic ministry is not to tell me what my donkey problems are through prophetic ministry cuts through the donkeys and gets into what's buried inside of your spirit which is a dream from heaven it doesn't take a prophet to tell me what my sin are they're putting much all the same all of us struggle the same but it takes a prophet to cut through the spin and get into your spirit what is extreme that is laying good from God and pull that out and say what you think is crazy it's God see when I worship and I close my eyes I see this large stadium full of people cheers begin to roll down my eyes when I see that because I know this is so scary I see a little bit of roll or wheelchairs and I see as I'm walking up pow pow pow people just getting up from the wheelchair I close my door in my eyes and I realized hey we just have 10 people at morning prayer I see the Holy Spirit will always get through the mess you are in right now into what's in your spirit and still less than that which you carry in your heart is from me some of you here in your spirit right now there is an idea to have a business but the very idea of having a business throws you in a cold sweat the very idea that you will be free the very idea that one day you will be a millionaire and the you sponsor build orphanages that ideas but today I'm struggling and asking God where will I get money to pay for my gas listen if your donkeys are not a reflection of the destiny you have in your spirit the destinies from the Holy Ghost the donkey's will be solved hallelujah hallelujah anybody here has a dream from God anybody here if you be very honest you see that dream it's unrealistic that means it is from God maybe you're saying but that's not so that's not me that which I'm believing and keeping in my heart that's why there's a prophetic word for you today God says I will tell you what's on your heart the donkey's come to cloud that there's some of you here today you're insane but you're called to be a pastor your donkey is the sin signal wraps you around it and you may be sitting here today and you you don't see one day you will be you're having a homegroup you have never been to a homegroup in your life but in your heart and in your spirit there's a dream from heaven don't let the donkeys cause you to live your life in just a donkey world because you're destined for greatness you will create it by God not just to go to work at 8:00 and get off its life and just eat and watch the TV series and the rest on Saturday and play golf you were created by God to live for a reason and for a purpose the Bible says through abundance of grace and through the gift of righteousness we were destined to reign in Jesus Christ in life not just get through life did not just survive through life not just make you through get it by but to reign means to thrive to rise above and fulfill the true destiny God placed inside of our spirit if somebody would have told me 16 years ago that this is what I would be doing the once a month I will be invited to speak at conferences and youth camps and that I will be mentoring other people I will say you are out of your mind you are crazy you mistake me for someone else but deep inside I had that when I saw a preacher preaching in our large church where I came from in Ukraine it was about two-and-a-half thousand member church I saw that summer deep inside I said I would love to do that one day I didn't know that I would love to do that one day was actually God's voice speaking through a insecure 12 year old teenager saying I buried that in your heart hallelujah and so I want you to remember the destiny was in his heart donkeys were on his mind unrealistic dreams require the Holy Spirit and that's why Samuel not only said you have a dream so he said the Holy Spirit will come upon you and he said you will be a changed into a different man you can see to fulfill the dream God placed in you requires God's enablement requires God's anointing you have to understand in the Old Testament in the New Testament God didn't require a degree for destiny he required anointing you don't see Jesus going to a four-year college and then God said now you're ready to cast out demons you see Jesus filled with Holy Spirit and God begins to use them you don't see David finish a presidential university and God says now you're ready to be a king you see David being anointed by the Holy Spirit to an a degree is important connections is important and natural abilities is your eloquence is important your background is important all of these things are important but if you want to fulfill something that came from above you will need the power that comes from above and that power is the Holy Spirit God anoying saw and saw begins to step into his destiny you're calling your vision without the anointing is really not going to happen it's a heavy burden without the anointing with the annoyed you may say but I'm in the business world what is anointing has to do Saul wasn't a priest Saul ruled the country you need anointing for your business the same way preacher needs anointing for his preaching you need anointing for your family to raise your family the same way that our postal means anointing to raise churches and knowing is not limited to religion you have to understand when God created the world he never created religions he only created humans and he created this world the Holy Spirit was never religious spirit we boxed him into a religion we divided everything into Christianity Baptist Pentecostals and everything but in God's heaven there is no boxes God fits into there is no there is a sacred and there is a secular and God's world there is only God who fills everything he created the world and he wants your world to be impacted by his anointing can someone say Amen without the anointing are calling is dangerous with the anointing you are dangerous come on hallelujah once all drifted from the Lord and the anointing lifted from his life he was anointed to fight Philistines we know where soul died he died in a battle with Philistines his anointing when it was lifted because of different things that he did the calling soul had was no longer a blessing to him it was not only a burden it became his graveyard those of us who think the success of life is dependent on how great your career is our have I have a newsflash for you if you're not anointed in your place of work and place of success your success is dangerous the Bible says the soul when the anointing lifted he became madman he became insane things start going so bad the weight of his office the weight of his calling the weight of his influence started to crumble on him so badly he chased his own tail all his life he would chase David who wanted no harm to him we know that Saul started to literally become a coward he couldn't fight a battle the only victory he would get is because his son would rebel against his protocol and that's how God would give victory little Saul became trapped in his own throne because the throne doesn't give you success it's the anointing that gives a success it's the anointing that pushes you to the throne and you need that anointing to keep you sane in the throne many people think that if you just get a nice car if you just get a nice house if you just get you know a beautiful family that alone gives you success yes it will make it good an Instagram picture if you using a filter and good lighting but the inner happiness and inner success the Bible says the blessing of the Lord enriches and add no sorrow the blessing the grace the favor and the goodness of God the anointing of the Holy Spirit makes it smooth make great makes it enjoyable makes you want to go to church in the midst of imperfect people list your hands and say I love my god I love my family I love my life makes you go through life in the hardships or in the good times and there is a sense of purpose there is a sense of fire in your eyes that is offensive flame in your soul there is a sense of intention your life has a meaning your light has a purpose you don't look at your dog and realize you know what you're living better life than I do because you at least don't have to work for it I work for you but I have to work for it nobody takes care of me and when I cry nobody answers when you cry I answer you look at your dog the man always I would have been like you that's when you know you lost the anointing your dog has it if you don't you the anointing is a living life of purpose living a life on fire living a life with the sense with the flame I see sometimes people 25 years of age and they're dead we're gonna have the funeral 40 years later but they die already no flame they burned out I say you haven't done anything burnt from what if you already they're exhausted or tired why we cannot because the college the subtle I thought of them life is demanding life is like a vacuum religion is like a vacuum even church can be like a vacuum everything will suck things out of you and if you don't have a flow of the anointing of God there will be a time you will be training on inside and you know you can't blame the vacuum it just there is nothing to take from you no more that's why you have to have a life of God constantly flowing flowing flowing on your school on your College on your work and your parents flowing flowing flowing flowing anointing comes by association but it grows by desperation I wants to say this with me say anointing comes by association but it grows by desperation anointing comes by association but it grows by desperation and this is the let's get to the meat part of the message first samuel chapter 10 verse 11 says the following and it happened when all who knew him formally saw that he was indeed prophesied the he indeed prophesied among the prophets sought King Saul and the people said one to another what is this that has come upon the son of Kish if Saul also among the prophets a Holy Spirit came upon Saul when he was in the company of prophets the anointing upon Saul's life came when Saul was hanging out with the prophets and it was so crazy that people actually said is Saul among prophets it became a proverb in Israel means it was so unlike Saul it was so unnatural to him it was so his family none of them ever kind of like they're not the prayer warriors they're not the kind of passion they're not the people who would fast they were not the people who were interested in the things of God like that and here is their son one of their you know this handsome tall good-looking son and he's hanging out with the Prophet and he goes around thus says the Lord with us is the Spirit of God he's speaking in tongues he's walking with the Prophet and looking at him they say is this Saul is all among the prophets see when you start hanging out around prophets used to prophesy you can ask Adrian when he shared today when he started to being around people who see visions from God and prophesy now he goes on the street and look what he said I was shocked myself what came out of my mouth why because anointing gets released by association when you watch youtube clips of deliverances you will begin to notice when you minister demons started to manifest why because that anointing rubs on you by association on the other side if you watch someone who curses every other word 2 weeks and by accident f-bombs will be released by you you will notice you like where did that come from and no inkling is released by association like we have some businessmen here in our church who who would literally in the area of their business they reach out to the other businesses they read the books and everything and you're looking at their business you like man just two years ago this guy's business wasn't doing so good this lady's business wasn't doing so well but because they got surrounded themselves with the associates with their association became they put themselves among the profits see they grew up in the house of the Kish but where you put yourself is where really the anointing is going to change your life and see you can change your future by changing the company you're around that is why Apostle John she came to our conference that is why Bob Larson came to our conference that is why we encourage people who eat Derek Prince read pastor Benny hinting on the Holy Spirit we dr. young is your wife we want you to be surrounded and your life not to reflect your past but to reflect the association you put yourself in because anointing comes by association you want to see the anointing move on your life associate yourself with the anointing if you want success to move in your life associate yourself with success did you know that Jesus got filled with Holy Spirit not when he was fasting not when he was praying by himself when Jesus went to a minister of God who was anointed by God his name was John the Baptist but John the Baptist did not help miracles he was just annoying to preach repentance and Jesus the Son of God comes to John's ministry and so John baptized me if that would have been me or you you would be like John he just sit down and take notes from me because I am the son of God you have so much to learn from me cousin because he was his cousin but when Jesus comes to John and he says John baptize me John says no no no no you are the one that's going to fly and Jesus says I know but right now I need a jumpstart and when John baptized is in the Bible says the Spirit of God comes upon Jesus anytime you associate yourself with the anointing it comes on you you may have a greater grace and your life and the people you associate with it but remember it works by Association come on somebody can you say Amen the Bible says equal walks with the wise is wise but the companion of fools will be destroyed you know what that means he who walks with a successful is successful he who kicks it with the idiot will be that he who hangs out with the wealthy will be wealthy he who always hangs out with people who criticized the wealthy and blame their poverty under something else will be just like that he hangs out with people who heal the sick will heal the sick he hangs out with people who don't sleep around he will live in purity see who you want to be if you want to be this change who you hang out here you cannot hang out with the wise and be a fool and you cannot hang out with the fools and be wise and no anything works by association and no anything came upon salt because he was connected with the prophets anointing will come upon your life because you were connected by that as well in Jesus name see if you can hang out someone said this if you run with the walls you will learn how to howl if you associate with the Eagles you will learn how to sort the great heights I remember this it is better to be alone than to be in a wrong company as a mirror reflects men's faith face but it is really shown same thing as the mirror reflects your face your friends we will reflect who you are I just want to bring can you give me few napkins and I think I'm getting too excited here remember I said anointing is not emotionalism but it could produce great emotions what I found out with young people is this as many times they want to associate themselves with very successful people in their prospective callings and they get disappointed when those successful people they don't have time for them so instead of finding a different route they blame those successful people by saying well see you became proud now you don't even respond to my in a 300 word message on Facebook you no longer like my pictures you became too arrogant and everything and I want to teach you a lesson or a secret that I've learned if you find people that you want to be like but they don't have time for you don't ever seek their mentorship offer them service if you if you attack them and say you're so arrogant you so I had people write to me literally like an essay I wrote shorter essays in high school that they wrote to me messages one guy had more questions to me recently than job had to God and I didn't know where to start I wanted to start with the first question by the time I got to the end how's that there's no way I can answer that and people think that the only thing I do is sit on Facebook and look who's at questions I can answer I don't have time for that and so with people many times do and they will message you back and you say you're proud because you can respond to my 300 questions and many times people like that in our church they have this early I want pastor to mentor me I want this apostle to mentor me it's not like that when you start moving into with God your time becomes to be limited and if you want to get the attention of the person you look to don't come for mentorship come with service see Saul didn't come to Samuel for a word the Bible says the Saul asked his servant he says do we have anything to bring to the man of God really so why do you need to bring anything to the man of God because he's very busy and the Bible says the gift that makes the room for the king when he offered something it was something very small the Word of God was released I saw that last year when Apostle John she came to our church and you know we our church blessed him and everything and we started to call John XI every Friday for a few weeks but actually about a few months and Jan she would you know mentor to what men mentor us Anna this is going to talk to us pray for us in everything but he got so busy and he got so busy and we got so busy and things kind of stopped this year that he came and I really just just got into my heart saying no Lord I want this man to just continue to bless me pray for me and everything and so and instead of asking hey apostle can can you call me every Friday I said apostle I see you Apple watch is not working can I give you mine have you tried this earpods is it no I said you should try them in put them on it they're so nice I said do you like that how they feeling I'm like they're yours and ask them is there anything I can help you with and then notice there's one area that he needed help with and I said can I offer to help you once a week no strings attached two weeks later apostle calls me he said Vlad how you doing nice you're doing great as they say anything he says no just call me just let you know I'm praying for you two weeks later he calls again he says I just want to let you know I miss you so much another oh Jesus fire of God hallelujah whoa he spent ten minutes talking to me to the point I had to ask him to hang up because I had nothing to ask him because I know the anointing works by association and if I cannot get associated with him by mentorship I'll always get associated by serving this serve ask where you can be serving and another thing the second thing about Association that you have to keep in mind the reason why many times people ahead of you don't give you association it's because people behind you you don't give it to them either God looks at you how do you treat people who want to be like you how do you treat people who want to start a business in the same field you're starting and when you feel insecure and threatened what we do is we shut them down and we say you know good you won't succeed we shut them down and then we go to someone who we want to be like and you show me and they treat us the same way we treat them if you want to improve how your association treats you change how you treat your associates you know what happened to Saul Saul was looking for Samuels advice but when David rose up and wanted to be a king he chased 20 years trying to kill him God says I can't bless you why because when somebody wants to be like you you stomp them that's why I'm not going to let someone else mentor you to be like them that's why I asked myself today not only how can I serve my pastor instead of just kind of milking all the wisdom as I serve him God will release the wisdom but secondly I look at people who look at me and say Vlad how can you help us in this in this area and I say how can I help them like I just came from a trip last week and when I was in South Dakota amazing youth group as they went to visit them and I saw that a lot of mistakes that they were making that we made just few years ago and I was so busy there at the trip that I wanted to work on the internship lessons and so many other things I planned out that the whole week I'm going to finish all of my lessons as I am their Holy Spirit convicting means a lot they need your advice they need your input I want you to begin to mentor them because they're looking to you guys to get to your level and see but I don't have time for that I see the loss that convicting me he says you can't expect an apostle to pick you out to his level if you don't take them to yours I want to challenge if you want to have association watch how you treat your associates what how you treat people who want to be like you and you might say well you know there's not too many see those people who look to you for advice give them the same attention you want someone else you will look to to give it to you allow sowing and reaping will always work in your favor if somebody say man come on put your hands together for Jesus Christ and knowing three comes by Association I want to say this with is the anointing comes by association but it grows by desperation said again anointing comes by association but it grows by the spiration and so I want you to focus on this now anointing grows by desperation and the verse that we read is this and he also stripped off his clothes so and prophesied before Samuel in like matter and lay down naked all day and all all that night therefore they said is all among the prophets for samuel 1924 I want you to see this verse looks so familiar to the virtue after 10 or chapter 9 we just read except in this story you see Saul now sent one set of soldiers to Rama to capture David they go there and it's a prophesy anointing was by association amen he says the second set of soldiers dates a prophesy he sends the third set of soldiers there's the prophesy his soul is afraid to go that he knows what's going to happen and then finally he mustered up the strength and he goes Linda but he doesn't go there to see to see change in his life he goes in there to capture David because David is there and the Bible says as he goes in there this is what happens God's Spirit comes upon and he starts prophesying in Jericho global awkward weird way almost looks like a demonic manifestation this would have been an artist who is coming out out in Jesus name but because it's Old Testament I'm pretty sure this was acceptable in like Mara lay down in the Bible says he stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like matter and lay down naked in the day and that night so day and night he prophesied but I want you to see something Association without desperation for God equals tribulation equals problems so get up from this prophesying experience and went back to his old life sooner or later every association every manifestation and experience with God has to fill our hunger for Jesus otherwise those experiences the only enlarged up right and they actually hinder us from going to God Seoul had Association so had even manifestation he experienced but one thing so lacked in his life which I believe why the anointing never remained on his life if Saul was never hungry for God hunger for God grows and maintains the anointing from God Saul had experiences but he never to repented he never became hungry for God and therefore anointing always lifted actually there was another salt in the Bible remember the New Testament when Saul went to Damascus I was in Israel eyes over saw where Damascus is from Jerusalem to Damascus is actually a very long way to walk to ride a horse Saul went for a very long way to go to Damascus he wasn't going to Damascus to a prayer meeting he was going to Damascus just like King Saul he wanted to attack Christians Saul wanted to attack David and Saul in a Bible wanted to attack Christians and Jesus an ox so out of his horse he falls on the floor he goes blind just like this Saul he falls on the floor it goes naked but I wants to see the difference one Saul gets up and goes back to his old life this Saul while he was there with encounter with God he asked two questions he said who are you lord and secondly what would you have me do that's all shaked and baked lathe and rolled spoke in tongues feel the spirit so the goosebumps got up and he said I was good and went back that's all said God who are you I want to know you I'm hungry for you i persecuted you Jesus I thought you forced Messiah but I just have I have a change of heart now I see you are truly the Son of God what would you have me do and God leaves him blind for three days because for the first three days in his life he could actually see and after three days we see his eyes get open and he gets filled with the Holy Spirit he gets baptized in water he goes to Damascus the next day and he starts to preach the gospel see King Saul became an apostate my soul in the New Testament became an apostle because it's not experiences that change you it's the hunger of God you derive from your experiences God replaced a man who knew it all and had it all with the boy who was after his heart Saul knew how the kingdom works Saul had the servants he had the reputation he had everything but he didn't have one most important thing that God looks for in every person is hunger for him and one time when Saul in the peak of his pride when he didn't obey God and he instead of being concerned with the callousness of his heart and repenting before God he grabbed the robe of Samuel and sandal but honoring me before people meaning I don't care the God rejected me I just make sure my reputation stays intact and Sammy looks back at him and he says the way you ripped my rope is the way God lifts your kingdom from you and God has found a man he's a boy he doesn't have experience in raining he doesn't have military experience he's nobody nobody knows him but he is after God's heart he doesn't have a God's heart he's not perfect but he's fascinating he's captured and he's captivated by God and God says this he is God he loves people that are passionately in love with him and he's the soul he will raise that boy up and he will give him your throne and he will bless him and protect him and boy David was not perfect David committed worse sin than Saul but see when you're hungry for God you repent when you're passive you make excuses when you hungry for God you make mistakes but you never make excuses when God even wink to you and says that something is wrong there's you drop on your floor and you say God I am sorry I'm not gonna blame it on my mama I'm not gonna blame it on my daddy I'm not gonna grab it blame it on my posture I'm not gonna blame it on my sister my brother God it was my fault and I'm sorry and when you do that your hunger stays for God but Saul when you're not hungry you make excuses you blame everybody you lose that I want to let you know if you want to keep fire for God in your life you got to keep repentance in your life many of us don't fall out of love with God we only fall out of repentance are you into me I wants to open this verse with me at the end Revelation chapter 2 verse 4 and 5 nevertheless I have this against you that you have left your first love remember therefore from where you have fallen I repent and do the first works or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent this verse used to intimidate me when I heard preachers talk about this verse I just felt so sick in my stomach it's kind of one of those like yeah they're gonna tell me again right now how bad I've fallen from God but now this verse has become one of the greatest encouragement to my life because the fact you can lose your first love and find it again gives me source of comfort every single person in here your first love for God it's when you got saved your passion for Jesus was all-time high you little you were curiously this like Curious George you're just curious about God you're just like passionate about God you literally complain because they didn't need a church every single day today you barely have time to come to church once a month but when you just got safely with every prayer meeting every single thing no sacrifice was too high nothing what Jesus was too difficult today anything for God is a burden but before it was just a passion it was a privilege to do this for God and see what time sometimes we lose that and I love the fact that God comes and he always gives me a second chance and he said listen you can relive those experiences for the rest of your life if you do this remember repent and do the first works it's a recipe to find that passion again for the word in my experience as a youth minister for over 14 years I found out four things that always killed my fire number one it was a fence any time I got offended at somebody I lost my fire people leave the churches because of a fence actually 99% of people to leave the churches today leave because of a fence and for those of us who think yet about church do something and change so that people stop leaving the church because of a friend's actually in one meeting Jesus had 75 of his key leaders leave him if you think that if the church will get perfect less people will leave the church because of a fence if the church will get perfect more people will be because of the offense because they could not live up to that perfectionism offence is unavoidable we can only stop causing offenses but we cannot ever stop having offenses you will be offended an offense is the devil strapped to cause your fire to die out it's just a devil's trap that's all it is if you look today somebody offended you tomorrow you can unknowingly you can offend somebody and it's the devil strapped to kill your fire that's all it is the second thing that I've seen in in my ministry and and personally in my life or what kills the fire is disappointment it's when you dream you believe you fast you pray and it doesn't happen you prayed for somebody who wanted you believe that they're going to be healed you had a word from God you knew it and nothing happened and next didn't happen is that become like a water that goes on your fire and it's very important I want you to see this when you get offended honestly Jesus doesn't really go after you and tries to butter you up when the guys got offended Jesus didn't go up to him so he let me explain I didn't mean you to eat my flesh I meant communion Jesus didn't do that but when guys left him what left Jerusalem walked the city of Emmaus he walked beside them encourage them with preachers until their hearts caught on fire again anytime you disappointment Jesus will walk behind you and remind you of his word so your heart will catch fire again and the third thing that kills our fire is honestly busyness it's when we become so busy that we don't have time to spend time with the Lord we don't have time to even make it to church and please understand intimacy makes you fruitful not busy busyness could be a result of intimacy but business itself does not make you successful only intimacy with God makes you successful if you are too busy to pray you are too busy if you are too busy to be with God you are too busy and this is what I know about busy people you actually don't make more money you make less because you break God's a rule God ordered for us to rest on Saturday if you say but I'm going to work three jobs for Jobs and Mark this you will not make more money because God blesses order and you're out of order god bless this order not our award I mentioned how chick-fil-a decided not to open its fast food restaurant chain and Sundays and people said did you know that on Sundays all the fast-food restaurants make the most money and the main guy of chick-fil-a he says I know but God said and people should take a rest at least one day and he says and I'm gonna choose the most busiest day to rest average fast food restaurant makes 1 million dollars a year chick-fil-a makes 5 why because when you but it doesn't make sense nothing with God makes sense but when you follow the order God blesses you same thing when you give it seems like like you're gonna lose money and somehow you have enough when you hold on to that it seems like it's never enough business is good if it comes out of your fruitfulness and it doesn't affect your intimacy with God but the moment you see usually your feels your file is dying out your fire is dying out cut back on some things catch your breath relax you're still gonna die why work so hard that you you you you waste your you ruin your health to get more money and then you spend your money to get your health back why don't you just keep both at the same time because this is not just about relationship with God this is about your health being this is about your kids knowing who you are it's about your family this is about your spouse this is about everyone everything being intact and the last one is materialism it's materialism is not when you have stuff it's when the stuff has you I have this Apple watch I have this watch this watch doesn't have me if at any moment this watch can be yours not today the most freeing thing for my relationship with God has been is when I can hold things without holding on to them when God has the right to take anything out of my hand and I have the privilege to take anything out of his pocket because he some of us you slip your hand into God's pocket and God has his hand denied to catch your pocket materialism kills fire is when we run after things when we think that the more things we have the more happy will be materialism a young boy came to Jesus he was morally sound everything was great with him and he had a lot of things but it's not the things that he had it's that when Jesus signaled and he says could you give sell everything you have and it's amazing you didn't ask him to give it to his ministry he said I want you to sell everything you got and give it to the poor and then come and follow me in the Bible says that man's heart was hurt he went with grief why because he didn't have things those things have had him anything you cannot give has you now that doesn't mean God will always ask us to give everything but there are times when the Lord leads you I found out when my passion for the Lord dies out and the Lord promised me to sacrifice something that alone literally shoots it through the roof and it's not the act of giving it's the act of obedience in giving I want to call those people who got baptized today to the front let's give them a round of applause [Music] please please come for the front right here your honor someone you know I want you to look at these precious people you know some of you know how this young lady came a month ago drunk to the conference drunk people are welcome by the way God touched her at the conference and delivered her from his evil spirits she got saved and spent since that time she's been free from alcoholism and she came on on Wednesday because on Wednesday she got filled with the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues gave God gave her his influence and she looked at me issues of life my life is changing too fast and I look at her I look at Kayla and one thing that that does something inside of me is how I'm familiar with God and how fascinated I have with him there's that curiosity that nice sometimes when I hear their story literally it's like that fire gets poured on my own heart because I'm reminded of my stuff when God baptized me with the Holy Spirit handled the fire in your eyes the fire in your mouth and that's why it's so important to associate yourself with brand-new believers in the home good wine because so that your flame can remain the same you know distant lady she doesn't have anything today she just got her house a place delivery she had no place to live one day she'll share her full testimony and it's heartbreaking testimony by one thing that she does have that many of you here today you don't if she has a love for Jesus and that is what David had and God raised them up but it's important when God begins to raise you up that you don't lose that love of Jesus because it's that thing that will keep you on track same thing with Kayla some of you remember that that through night prayer when Kayla was manifesting and God delivered Kayla from from the bondages there and then that the liver is continued and you saw now that her son start coming to the Lord other people still coming to Jesus Christ and simply in Kayla you know people have to pick her up she doesn't have a car but she has a passion for God and today [Music] Scott Key's [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] and the reason and the reason why we wanted to bless them is because we wanted to be reminded seek first the kingdom of God and everything else shall be happy I understand understand some of you may say you know but you are enabling these girls are hard-working these girls are going to serve God and these girls are going to make a difference in our community and I want to pray today that God will give fire in your eyes fire in your soul for Jesus and knowing she comes by association but anointing grows by desperation we are a hungry generation we're hungry for God we're hungry for the move of the Holy Spirit with hungry poo Jesus every eye closed every head bowed if you're in this room this morning maybe you've been coming for some time but you realize today you walked away from God or maybe used to be as a child that's not when you're serving garden and something is stirring inside of you and you know that this is your time you're that person could used to repent and come back to God or maybe you haven't made a decision to give your life to Jesus we would love to give you that opportunity for Jesus to come into your heart today for Jesus to forgive you of your sin for Jesus to come inside of you like the fire of the Holy Spirit and live inside of you maybe you brought a friend with you today and they want to come if you can come with them just bring it to the front and view the pacifically I want to get say pass the word I want to give my life to Jesus just come just come to the front that's all it is your simple account we're going to pray for there's nothing
