The Message of the Last Apostle - Mark Morgan | TP 2013

Revelation chapter 2 and verse number one and to the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write these things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them which are evil and then ice tried them which say they are apostles that are not and has found them liars it has born and has patience for the for my namesake has labored that you've labored that's not fainted nevertheless what would have been good if he'd have stopped right there these people could have said man we're good but nevertheless I have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first love remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent pretty strong in it would you agree it's pretty strong statement I well this is not probably the best sermon or message to end it but it's what I feel on the Holy Ghost I want to talk to you tonight about this message that John's given that fact I want to call this the message of the last apostle and and by that I'm talking about foundational apostles message of the last apostle Lord I love you I thank you for your word that is forever settled thank you for your presence your goodness your mercy I now ask God that you would speak to us let it go beyond our minds and let it get into our spirit let it find the rightful resting place let it find fallow ground let us receive it so that it can take and come to fore tation we ask it in the name of Jesus confirm your word tonight with signs following and everybody said amen all right turn around somebody next to you shake their hand and say I love you can you can you stand a little a history lesson here tonight I John's on the Isle of Patmos and he's he's there in the will of God not the most pleasant place to be matter of fact I've tried to figure out how John probably looked historians tell us that he had been put in a boiling pot of oil it didn't kill him we don't know if he was disfigured by it but after that little experience he was banished or sent to the Isle of Patmos and you want to serve God tickles me as these people went through what they did and we fuss about giving up a few trinkets for God but he's on the Isle of Patmos and he receives tremendous insight best way to explain the book of Revelation is not just so much as a book of apocalypse but it is the revelation of Jesus Christ it's as though that God is putting the finishing touches to the portrait of Jesus Christ so everybody can see it amen and now I don't plan on getting too hungry tonight I had a handful of cashews before I come to church tonight so I'm okay amen but John's on the Isle of Patmos and God's beginning to speak to him and show him some things and he comes to this moment that he addresses what we call the seven churches of Asia Minor each one of these churches received things about it that were positive that God wanted to commend them about and then he would lead into the things that they needed to be corrected on because after all if he is your true father he chastises those that he loves if you don't receive his chastisement or his correction Bible calls you an illegitimate child and so we watched as his correction comes into place one of the things that I've noticed about God and the devil when the devil's talked it to you always tells you your problem and never gives you a solution he just leaves you hanging he condemns you and leaves you hanging there but when God deals with you he not only points out the problem but he gives you the solution and tells you how to fix it which to me is a tremendous thing so all these seven churches they had positive things about them than they had negative things but out of all seven of these churches there's only one church that had its candlestick threatened to be removed now if you read down through here you've got some churches that had Jezebel teaching in them Koller oh Jessie everybody sealed Jessie Oh jazzy was teaching in the church some had all sorts of problems but it was only Ephesus that was threatened for its candlestick to be removed and he tells them the reason why their candlestick is threatened to be removed is because you have left your first love everybody say Ephesus he's talking to the Church of Ephesus now he tells them you need to you need to go back from whence thou has fallen you need to repent you need to go back and fix this and take care of this now I find it ironic now I'm gonna give you a little history here tonight I find it ironic that John's writing this and he addresses unto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus most people feel like when he talked about the Angel of the church that he was addressing the pastor of the church the bishop of the church it was he that is the messenger when some angelic being it was actually the pastor of that church that he was addressing it was the pastor that was going to have to give the message the angel of God wasn't gonna come stand in the pulpit preached to the church he was talking to the pastor's of the church here's the problem here's what you've done good and here's where you need to do better and I want you to fix this I want you to take care of it and so he addresses the aims of the Church of Ephesus or the pastor and those days probably would be better to call them the Bishop of the church and so he addresses this when he tells what he needs to do to fix it and he leaves it there now historians get a little cloudy through some of this stuff and all because a lot of them they they give different dates when John wrote the book of Revelation now here's where I need you to stay with me connect with me on some history and some some theology stuff here John and the reason why I'm saying this is is because I had a boy come priest from who one time he had just graduated from Bible School and he preached the whole sermon thinking that John the Baptist and John the Beloved was the same guy and I'm sitting here thinking Sunday school kids know better than that so I want to make sure that we understand who I'm talking about tonight and so John the Beloved writes the Gospel of John he writes his epistles and he writes the book of Revelation now when you understand history you recognize that John is going to outlive all the other original apostles they're all dying off the same dead and gone Peters gone Jameses gone all these apostles are gone Paul's even gone at this point and so John is the last living apostle that was there and the scripture calls him a father he was there walking with Jesus he was an eyewitness to his divine majesty other people could talk about the things they had heard about in history but John was first-person I was there when he was transfigured I was there when he did the miracles I was there at Calvary and so it's John he has the last voice of the original apostles riding to the church now when he's on the Isle of Patmos and he's riding somewhere early 990s or midnight he's somewhere through there and the fact is and this is where I want you to kind of see some things that connect when he writes to the church at Ephesus and he addresses the Bishop of the Angel of the Church of Ephesus historians let us know that Timothy was perhaps still alive he didn't die until he was eighty-eight years of age they drug him through the streets of Ephesus and then they stoned him to death and so there's great possibility and I feel like it actually happened because of what I'm about to tell you there's great possibility that it was Timothy that John was writing this letter to about the Church of Ephesus and stay with me now amen and so it's also amazing that after John when the Emperor died people were they were set free and all this and so I can't remember the name of the Emperor but when he died John was released from the Isle of Patmos and he is released and he goes historians tell us that he moved to Ephesus it was Ephesus that he wrote and said you better fix this because if you don't get it fixed you're going to have your candlestick removed now the candlestick is the seven churches of Asia Minor John seen Jesus walking through the midst of the seven golden candlesticks which was these seven churches that he's going to address is this boring now Joe I don't want to lose you here so just just hang on here second now he's threatened them and I find it ironic that John goes to Ephesus and it's at Ephesus that he writes are you with me it's an Ephesus that he writes his gospel and his epistles he is in the very place that it was threatened to be removed because they had left their first love and it's there at Ephesus that John writes his gospel in his epistles now to understand all of that you you have to realize that John didn't address a whole lot of things there was only just a few things that John wanted to address remember he is the last voice he's the last apostle and he's going to deal with some things now Paul had already dealt with a lot of things how to put the church in order he had dealt with creative order dealt with gender he dealt with all of these things he dealt with the rift from the Jews that persecuted him and followed him around trying to stop he dealt with all of those things but when John decides to deal with the problems at hand and he said old man now and he's looking around and he sees the situation and there's just two or three things that he really strongly wants to deal with the first one is he wanted to deal with what's called the Gnostics it's the best way for me to put it and some of the doctrines of the Gnostics the Gnostics taught that there is actually nothing tangible there's nothing real everything was logos logos logos just simply means the thought or expression of thought and so they said that everything that you see is nothing nor but logos it's just a thought another words let me put it to you like this we're not sitting in this building actually tonight some God somewhere thinking all this so if you get your finger caught the door that's not real pain that's going through your body that's just some twisted God somewhere thinking all this kind of stuff and you are nothing more but a fault you're just like itll spirit something running around now this is what the Gnostics were teaching now the reason why that John had to deal with that is because that was coming into the church and the problem with that coming into the church was is it removed oh I got what I wanted mmm it removed the flesh from the picture that's how come John said he didn't deny that Jesus came in the flesh is of the spirit of the Antichrist because if you remove the flesh from the picture then there is no excuse oh there's no problem with sin because you are not accountable by what you do in the flesh and so the atonement was not necessary what you sin and what you do is not your problem it's just some God thinking that you're doing all the stuff that he was coming into the church and still floating around the church just kind of comes in a different dress every once in a while and this is how it sounds nowadays doesn't matter about my temple or my outside it's all in the heart well that went over real well amen the body and the flesh doesn't matter it's all about my inner man you ever heard anybody say that dawn looks at the heart that's actually a form of Gnosticism you just don't know what amen and so boy it's tied in here right now and so John deals with that he takes care of that that's the reason why he said this is he that came by water and blood even Jesus Christ that came because when he talks about water and blood some people say that's the church but it did not say this is she that came because the church is always in the feminine it was not talking about the church that came by water and blood John is using water and blood because it's the components of humanity to prove the humanity of Jesus Christ hmm is this too far out there do I need to come back in you better thank God he came in a human form because if he didn't come in a human form there's no atonement and if there's no atonement there's no forgiveness of sins and that means you're gonna stand before a just God guilty of all sorts of stuff that you don't need to be guilty of but thank God that God looked at humanity and said I'm going to send a sacrifice he's going to leave your affiliation of all sins and he's going to take care of this are you with me here tonight now this is some of the stuff that John starts dealing with but the real issue that John is going to deal with that he spends most of his First Epistle and he spent several chapters and his gospel talking to us about oh boy is this boring okay good because I don't want to be boring now when you read in the Gospels from John chapter 14 to John chapter 17 it's one long conversation actually what is happening is is Jesus is leaving the Last Supper and he's on his way to Calvary and this is a conversation that Jesus is having with his disciples it's just a private conversation that he's having with his disciples and when he gets into this conversation he's trying to prove something to them he's talking about abiding he's talking about abode and he's talking about being connected and he's talking about on the vine and you're the branches you ever read down through there the 14th chapter he starts talking about he's going away coming back again and the comforter is going to come the actual translation says I'm not leaving you like a bunch of orphans I'm coming back again we're going to connect and then he gets into this vineyard deal and the fact is is when he starts teaching about on the vine and the branches if you follow his footsteps he is literally walking through a vineyard while he's teaching that to the disciples so he's got this backdrop of a vineyard and when he gets to the fifteenth chapter he drops the hammer on him because he starts talking about I'm the fine and you're the branches folks I'm telling the Holy Ghost gonna talk to us tonight I'm the vine and you're the branches and as long as you stay connected to me you're going to produce fruit now III want to say this and I want to say it very carefully cuz I'm not trying to argue with anybody but I've heard people use this verse of scripture and they use it for the wrong reason because jesus said if you're not producing fruit you're in other words he said when you get disconnected you're gonna wither and die you're not going to be producing fruit men are going to gather gather you and cast you into into the fire and I've heard people say that if you're not producing fruit and you're not producing souls that you God's gonna cast you into the eternal lake of fire and they try to use that verse for that argument well there's a few problems with that because number one if you read down through there the fruit that Jesus is talking about is not Souls the fruit is love it's love all this gonna make sense here in just a second it's love it's love and he's telling them the only way that my love can be in your life and you can produce this is you've got to stay connected to me because this is not your love that you're going to produce this is the love of God that you're going to produce this is the fruit of it but if you get disconnected you wither and die and Men will gather you and cast you into the fire he doesn't say the eternal like the fire he said the fire and he said that men were going to cast you into the fire I got some of you looking at me really funny right now men are going to cast you into the fire I want you to tell me in the book of Revelation where it talks about being people being cast into the eternal like a fire show me one man casting another man into the eternal like the fire it's not men that cast into the eternal lake of fire it's angels that cast into the eternal lake of fire now if you study that verse of scripture what Jesus is actually saying is this as long as we stay connected my love is going to flow from the branch of the fine into the branch but if we get disconnected you're gonna wither and die and that loves not going to be there and I am going to allow people to put you into situations that's going to consume you and I'll tell you how it does it y'all ready for this when you ready for the bomb it's called relationships see what we fail to realize all the folks run around said I don't need anybody any relation either stiff enough you you you don't even know because God put us in this earth to connect with one another and to develop these relationships because this is the only place that this can really happen in oh I'm having fun here tonight have you have you ever been kind of out of source with God I have don't sit there and act like a bunch of hypocrites come on put your hand you're honest I have I know some of you been walking with Jesus you've never been had a bad day you've never won a while without really praying at all and God like you should I have and let me tell you what starts happening people start really irritating me yeah they do things that normally wouldn't bother you they start bothering you and you get a little edge to you all you people in Australia act like you know you ain't doing that to me you're you're human just like you listen the Gnostics are not in this building tonight you are in flesh and you're here and you have to deal with the same nonsense we have to deal with and when you start getting disconnected from your source you start having trouble in your relationships with people oh yeah you do yeah you do [Applause] boy it's here we are now here's John he said to the church at Ephesus on the Isle of Patmos you've left your first love right so let's figure this out left you first love so I was doing study on this literally in this subject I'm talking to you about tonight it has been an ongoing subject for several years because it's not just a subject to study it's a life lesson and I the the best translation of that verse and revelation to this emphasis you're in trouble because you quit loving the Brethren no no no really where he said you left your first love okay all right all God needs to know about you and how you're connected to him is how you treat your brother that's it [Applause] that's it now we're gonna have a little fun here tonight see John had some folks like I got here tonight now I'm not calling you this but John did he said you're lying he said let me tell you cuz now you're into me now you're into his epistles and he deals several chapters about how we treat each other and how we love one another isn't it amazing that Jesus said by this shall all men know that you are my disciples watch him not because you're casting out Devils not because you're healing the sick not because you're raising the dead that's the power of the kingdom but what's the law of the kingdom with James told you what the Royal law of the kingdom was James called it the Royal law though I fixed to set the plough down I'm afraid right here you want the royal law yes it is the law that supersedes all lost in the kingdom and the Kingdom is governed mostly by this abiding law it's called the royal law and it's the Royal law of the kingdom and James said love the Brethren he said what's wrong with you people supposed to be spirit-filled he said you're going to battle you fighting each other he said from whence cometh wars and rumors of wars from among you that stuff ought to be coming from God's people that's just proving the fact that you are disconnected from your source because there's only a few things that the scripture says God is God is truth God is light God is the spirit and you ready for the next one god is love and john said if you can't love your brother whom youth he said quit lying on the Holy Ghost he said oh boy he said here's how you tell if you're in life or death if you love your brother boy it's not gonna be fun tonight I'm afraid mm ain't talking about sensual love well let's just dive a little further he comes down through there and he says no listen he said because God laid down his life for you you all lay down your life for the Brethren let me tell you why I never believed in the Trinity we tell you I could never believe in the Trinity because that one statement God is love and the love of God lays down itself and if you got a Trinity and you got a one God in three persons three persons co-equal Co eternal coexisting and you got the father who's supposed to have the love of God in him and the love of God the Father looks over at jr. and says you go die for him now think about it you go die for him now if it was really what it ought to be and the Trinity was actually true and God was in the Father then the father should have been the one I'll come on here all you Father see if you're a real father if somebody come in here the guns gonna shoot some folks you would get between the bullet and your son yes you would one in the world's wrong with people when they get some twisted idea that God looks over to over jr. and says you go die for him I don't want to go die for him you go die for him now if I have been the son out of said hey you're the father you go die for him and the Holy Ghost were trying to catch him because he's a floating dove he's not even part of the equation do you think that Jesus got the short end of the straw and had to come what kind of father's looking at his son getting this ever-loving brains beat in and doesn't do anything to stop it now if we understand that for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that just simply means that God put himself in a body and said I fix it to pay the price to redeem you I'm gonna show you what the love of God really is now no no no no we got a hurt he got a hurt I got hurt now listen here still he comes on down through there Oh trust me you don't need to put your seat belts on we're gonna hit some turbulence here just a little bit some of you don't know what to think I'm telling you where did you find this preacher at let's ship him back now he comes on down through there and he starts to make his statements like this he said here's how we tell you've passed from darkness and the light here's how we know fear of the truth you love the Brethren John teaches us that there's only two commandments now two Commandments does anybody know what those two Commandments are believe on the name of his son which if you understood what that means is John is taking from the Old Testament the first commandment here o Israel the Lord your God is one Lord and he just shows you who that one God is when he told you to believe on the name of the son he's pointing out that Jesus is that god of the Old Testament and he says along the brethren those are the only two Commandments that John gives you and there's only two Commandments is this too is this too slow now the reason why there's only two Commandments like this because if you got those down you wouldn't need the other eight do you think you're gonna steal from somebody if you love them you think you're going to commit adultery with their wife or their husband if you really love them like you should do you think you want no no no no no no this is so simple you get this love business right everything else falls into place [Applause] if you don't get it right now you got to have some other laws well because you don't love God like you should you love each other like you should we got to give you some of the laws please don't steal one from another please don't lie one on another now just just just give me a moment here just give me now when you get come on down through there here's where it really starts getting interesting and he starts making statements like this and if you see your brother have need and you shut up your bowels of compassion now say he the love of God about is within you you're not to love and word only but in deed or in action matter of fact the word love and the Greek is agape and it's a verb if you understand how that works is you can't say it you can only do it boys now let's rock along here a little bit now he gets into that and then John decides to go all the way back here's where it gets really fun he goes all the way back to Cain and Abel and he says now I'm going to show you a little something and I'm gonna tie all this together he says now the problem is is he said a lot of you were still like this because here's Cain and Abel they're offering a sacrifice and Cain decides to slay his brother because God had respect for his brother's sacrifice and not his and in his mind if I put my brother out I'm the only thing left God has to accept me so I can murder my brother which moves me into the position I'm the only thing left God has to accept me and after he slays his brother and God comes on the scene he says where's your brother now watch his statement what does anybody know what his response is am I my brother's keeper oh now why did put John put all of that into his epistle because he's trying to show you if you shut up your bowels of compassion and you don't help your brother he said you're saying the same thing that Cain said about Abel am I my brother's keeper am I my brother's keeper am I responsible for him my responsible for him my god he lives in Fiji and I live in San Francisco I'm not responsible for him I know they got some needs and not those people's got needs but am I my brother's keeper and besides that if they perish then you know the whole concept of humanity a lot of times is is if you put their candle out yours burns brighter and this gets in the church listen I've been at this long enough to know we're plowing pretty deep right now but you're saying on now he really comes down through here he starts talking about this commandant business and he comes on down through there and he says and if thy heart condemn me not then it's thou confidence toward God if thy heart condemn me not that's not confidence toward God that what sort of things we ask we receive of him because we keep his commandment but if thy heart condemn me he said you have no confidence toward God and you know who he's still talking about he's still talking about Cain and Abel and the fact that when Cain stood before God knowing he had just murdered his brother he's standing now in condemnation and his heart is going to condemn him it's going to judge him and what John is trying to say is is here's how you get your prayers answered and here's how you don't get your prayers answered if you're trying to stand the presence of God and have faith and you subconsciously know that you're not treating your brother right he said it's a subconscious thing in you to condemn you I'm gonna tell you exactly why there's a lot of prayers not being answered in the church because we can't quit biting and devouring one another and somebody just something you don't like you already got your sword out all you wouldn't literally do it but I tell you how you can do it you got me yeah you got McDonald's here so after church you know y'all sitting at McDonald's that you'd never take a gun and just walk up to her and blow her brains out but I tell you what you will do you'll be sitting at McDonald's and you'll start something like this now I'm not gossiping but I'm gonna tell you something and you'll take a knife out this sharper than any knife you could have in your pocket it's called your tongue and you'll slander and you'll kill in your murder and you're crippled and not think one thing about it because after all am I my brother's keeper listen folks if you really want to have revival in Australia I'm giving you the key to true apostolic revival there is no other way around it and you're deceiving yourself to think there is another way I'm just you know what I'm 51 I've been preaching since I was 17 I've been at this a long time and I heard brother stone King say something the other day he said I'm getting so old I just don't care you know I said I'm not that old but trust me I'm not that old but I'm just kind of getting to the point where I'm just tired of playing games with the Pentecostals come to church you can't even talk to somebody across the aisle and you think you're rapture ready and then you wonder why your relationships get all messed up and you wonder why you can't keep friends and you wonder why you can't get along and why jealousy rules and reigns oh come on that's crazy now I tell you what you learn to do though let me tell you what you learn to do well I feel a little preachy let me tell you what you learn to do you learn how to come to church and dance around a little bit and go looking for Jesus and you're talking tongues a little something you've learned and then you walk out the same way you've always been and you still got that big disconnect between you and the love of God and everything in your life's all messed up can I just be honest with you your houses are filled with confusion your kids can't get along there's nothing but turmoil where is the peace of God and all this stuff I'm asking you where is the peace of God and all this stuff peace is supposed to be like an umpire in your life well I'll tell you where the peace of God you me tell you where it's at let me help you something of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no man now I started by telling you it's the Royal law of the kingdom so we're still talking about the kingdom the royal law of the kingdom is love got that and the prevailing spirit of the kingdom is peace because wherever God governs there's peace now hang on so look at your life and tell me the air in your life that there's no peace hand and I'll show you the area of your life that God does not govern is this too heavy too much hanging we're gonna get there we're gonna give that so here's the hold it we good it's the last night no refunds and here's here's the deal here's still Paul even picked up on this son he got into it with the Corinthian church or some of stuff cuz man the Corinthians they come together they just come together yet they do too just like got the gifts of the Spirit like a ball bat just beating the snot out of each other have you ever been a church service with somebody used tons of interpretation to get a message to somebody else thus saith the Lord you hypocrite [Applause] hey I've been that murder yeah you have to they used to get spit I mean Corinth it's just all crazy just won't stuff no and so Paul has to come here he's teaching on the gifts of spirit and right in the middle of the gifts of the Spirit he says oh by the way let me tell you about something that's very important we call it the thirteenth chapter first Corinthians it's called the love chapter now this one you're gonna have to fix seriously I think what Paul said when I was a child I speak as a child I understood as a child but when I become a man I put away childish things because when you really understand spiritual maturity the highest dimension of spiritual maturity according to Peter add to your faith virtue and to virtue none am i born young add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge and knowledge temperance of temperance patience basis brotherly kindness and the seventh one is love now what's the difference between brotherly kindness and love so you think because you're nice to one another it's love I think that love has a lot to do with something called for give [Music] not just being kind to him but brother when they are when they're really messing with you and you have the power to slay them Cain and you don't and you forgive now think about the term for gift that's already predetermined in your mind by the love of God doesn't matter what you do to me I have already for given to you the mercy of God but just just you know Peter said how many times we got to forgive them seventy times seven daily now that one day I said how many times would that be how many seconds will that mean I had to forgive somebody and I figured that's either three seconds or every eight seconds I'd have to forgive you know what Jesus was actually saying every time it comes back into your mind forgive them now I don't care who tells you when you forgive them you forget all bow baloney that's humanly impossible just about time you think you forgot they walk in [Music] [Applause] they lied on you they stole from you they cheated did all that stuff and there they are singing in the choir [Applause] wearing new shoes and they still owe you money I'm trying to make this as real as I can make it and you're sitting there struck I know that's elementary but you're sitting there struggling with it and if you get disconnected guess what the love of God this the love of God it's the see this is what we fail to realize we think it's the love we produce it is the love of God in us and the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost and as long as I stay connected to it and I see them you know what I do I come back to Calvary okay Jesus help me Lord help me Lord help me Lord I'm strung with us right now and he says do good unto them that spitefully use you is this to elder's this to much here's what tickles me everybody wants to be like Jesus us we'll be like Jesus uh-huh yeah sure you do let me tell you about Jesus he calls Judas the devil and he goes who's got betrayed him he calls Peter the devil and he calls Judas friend now Judas is pulling the sword going to fight for him and Judas is Peter and Judas is selling him out and then he's hanging on the cross and he looks at the people that's crucifying him and he makes the statement Father forgive them for they know not what they do I'm fixing the mass with some of you so bad right now you don't even see this one coming coming brother Nathan [Applause] you ready for this one and so gosta so you want to be like me that means you got to get crucified now crucify yourself here put your hand up their own Calvary the cross they can take it you can out you can actually hold a nail right through there you got a hammer in that hand and now that hand on there yeah go ahead and nail it on there okay you got your hand nailed to the cross you got a good ok now finish off the rest of the crucifix you want do it oh he can't done so you know what God needs in your life they're called the agents of crucifix well shoeless fibbing you don't even understand how God works now he's gonna send people into your life their job this this sermons not goin over too well no no no their job is to finish you off their job is to crucify you watch me to make sure you're dead cuz after all to be like him you've got to die out that's what Calvary is all about dad I'm dead I'm dead I die except the corner grain fallen to the ground and die it abideth alone see our problem is we don't want to die out and so every time somebody comes with the nail and the hammer rest god you ain't touching me you got me I'll shoot you I'm sorry from America we shoot people break in my house there you go call 9-1-1 will launch and pray the prayer of faith but you shouldn't have broken here here's the deal God's gonna pick them out they're gonna come into your life and they own the state do you really have my love in you can you pray the same thing well I'm gonna tell you I got them lined up about a mile long and every time I see them coming to my oh it's just too real or too honest for some of you here tonight some of you got me worried this is life and this is what's entering us from having revival cuz none of us want to die out let the love of God flow through us and we want to keep living we want our little deal to go through okay now you better go sit down cuz I gotta wrap your sermon up so Pierce Paul he gets in this whole thirteenth chapter and personally I believe we starts talking about I don't care if you understand all mysteries and you have all this knowledge and you got faith to move the mountain now once you think about this if we had a man like that and the Apostolic s-- who some he'd be powerful he'd be preaching everything there is to preach he'd be gone and Paul said if you can move mountains by your faith and you understand on mysteries and all revelations been given to you but you don't have love he listened he said it didn't profit you one thing he said I don't care if you give all your possessions and give your body to be burned at the stake if you didn't have love it didn't profits you one thing now do me a favor when you get home tonight instead of doing something you shouldn't listen go to the thirteenth chapter and read all the characteristics about love love not puffed up love vaunteth not itself love is pure read all of that stuff about love and what you're going to find out is you're not gonna like the thirteenth champion force Corinthians because it shows you were you ought to be and then you see where you're at and Paul had the same problem and I'm convinced we spoke about when I was a child I spake as a child what he's saying is what's just when I was operating all that stuff I really was in spiritual and maturity but when I become a man I put away childish things now listen to me this is what the Holy Ghost is trying to get this endtime Church - it's called spiritual maturity because if anybody ought to be getting it it ought to be Holy Ghost filled Pentecostals are you listen to me but you think your tongues gives you a right to devour now I'm gonna change it and close here's what I find ironic you ready Ephesus apparently didn't get it because a few years later guess who tucked the city over anybody now somebody tell me anybody know the Muslims they took it over the religion of fear and here's Timothy struggling struggling because Paul writes to him and his first letter he writes to him he's trying to help him understand this I put the church in order when he writes his second letter to him it's very apparent that fear is beginning to Timothy and Timothy is operating in fear because Paul has to remind him God did not give you that spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind oh by the way Timothy why don't you stir up the gift that's in you now you got to understand Timothy it's at Ephesus you got the temple to the goddess Diana stay with me I'm not through you got the temperature the goddess Diana you've got all this stuff going on you got spiritual opposition Paul talked about it he talked about wrassling with the beast of Ephesus you talk about a hard place to pastor Ephesus was tough it's very apparent that Timothy has been stricken by fear and that's the reason why when you watch the John's let her being wrote to him from the Isle of Patmos God has to remind him you better go back and take that Turks back from once you've fallen because if you don't get a handle on this fear and can I tell you what the opposite see we all say what's the opposite of love well it's hate no it's not the opposite of love is fear now two Pentecostals listen to me we are fastly approaching a day in an hour in the end time where the enemy is going to use everything he can against your mind listen to me to strike fear I can prove to you from the Book of Daniel where it talks about he will seek to wear out the saints of the Most High that that's dealing with the mind and your battle right now is in your mind and in your mind is all the fear and the scenarios and the what-ifs are you listening to me the reason why some of you cannot walk in the power of the Holy Ghost is because the enemy holds you paralyzed by fear [Applause] you got that now I'm gonna share some with you that I don't normally go into have it for a long time in 2000 we went to the Philippines 2001 we did the Crusades we come back in January of 2001 and in February the 19th of 2001 martin morgan fell off the end of the world into the deepest darkest we hit you can imagine and for years for years I struggled with panic and fear I've said in my room for days not even coming out with the mini blinds drawn and curled up in a fetal position because somebody would warn me prophetically you're getting ready to go through something and there's darkness coming and you are going to literally meet Satan himself you will know what it's like to be in a room was Satan himself that's why some of you don't intimidate me you got a little measure of fear working out of you but you try to intimidate people but trust me I met him I can take you to the spot where he come in the room and I'm gonna tell you what the room feels like when you're in a room was Satan himself are you ready for it it's called hopelessness not violence not evil it's hopelessness because he has chained in everlasting chains of a hopelessness he has no future he has no hope so he wants to strike fear into your life and to paralyze you and to make you feel that you have absolutely no hope it's not going to change you're not going to be delivered you're never going to come out of this are you listen to me right now in the Holy Ghost when I start talking to you about the love of God and fear it's not just a tooth sermon to me it is a revelation because years ago when God would I told you all that I told you about this morning about operating and the gifts what I didn't tell you us is I figured it out real quick most of the people that I ever knew that I operated the gifts went crazy they went off somewhere went nuts somewhere and I kept thinking what future is that who wants all of that you listen to me and I pushed away from it and telling the old prophetess by the name of maryland's Chennault she's almost 80 now one of the most godly women you'll ever meet in your life has spoken into my life so profound I can't begin to tell you the time she's perfectly spoke to me and save me and I pushed away from the gifts and I pushed away from all the stuff I preached about the day and one morning she called and she said have you not been praying how can you operate that gives the spirit not be destroyed he was about 6 something I want to sit straight up and dead I said I asked she said I'll tell you how it works the gifts of the Spirit operate from through and by love and the first time you start operating them out the out of the confines of the love of God she said you're on your way to destruction son do you hear me because those gifts the Spirit is not to make you look spiritual and it's not to make you look powerful are you listening to me and when Paul said covet the best yes let me tell you what I think that means when I look at you sir and I am moved by compassion for your situation in your need and I realize that I have nothing within myself to help you with that problem I covered that God would give me some kind of a gift because I will not say I am NOT my brother's keeper because I am your keeper are you listening you let me finish the story real quick I know I'm born some of you I'm sorry but just listen I'm setting her in that room that day and I can't be in tell you the thoughts when we take the time to and I'm sitting there asking God you got to help me please listen to me because I'm trying to help somebody here right now I said God please help me I'm not asking you take me out of this battle I'll learn whatever is I gotta learn but I'm asking you to give me some kind of a weapon or something that I can use motei some folks are spirit of fear that's trying to our world right now you don't know what the future holds the Middle East is heating back up the world's economies still teetering or right now are you listening to me all the stuff we don't understand we don't know we know we know what the endtime the scripture says and all we're facing all that and you get all the stuff that starts going through your brain and all cuz this make a sense and then you got to spare the Antichrist and I'm gonna wear you out I'm gonna keep attacking you with fear and blasphemy and I want to question the Word of God in your life and I'm gonna make you question whether or not you even think God loves you that's what exactly means it's so set if I gone too long so sitting there that day the whole of your said look at the story of job and I got man I said oh my god you gotta be kidding I've heard that story so many times I'm not frontwards and backwards please tell me you're joking that's exactly what I said please tell me you're joking look at it closer did not Satan have to have permission to get to him and that even made me even more man I know that God I've heard that all my life he said then you're missing it and so what am I missing show me where he ever worn Jobe what he was going to I said what show me where he ever went to jail with Suffolk's kill your kids I fixed take your money I'll fix the mess with your health I said he didn't he said that's exactly right because when I give him permission to come into your life I don't give him permission to warn you and I don't give him permission to brag I only give him permission to do it so whatever it is he's telling you this day that he's going to do means he doesn't have permission the dirt because if he had permission the dirt he wouldn't be telling you about it he'd be doing it so I'm trying to tell somebody here and that little spirit of fear that's crippling year right now about the future and how what's gonna happen whatever it is the enemy is telling you he's going to do to you means that he can't if he could he already would have hang on with Nixon close he already would have if he could kill you would be singing at your funeral right now and so I started kind of getting the handle I'm closing and so here's the deal I start looking all this innocent okay and I was very privileged to have some people coming to my life that were people that epitomized the love of God one of them was my old bishop called Merle Ewing I've seen people spit on him lie about him tell stories weren't true and watch him go fall on them and pray for them and help them and help them out financially and help them with their kids on the whole time these people were destroying him and his family I asked us to Ewing one time about the song they wrote when I've said at supper time with an old friend of mine and in return my love is betrayed but if to the bitter end I can still call him my friend then I can say I've loved on a morning hot and steel if I could be climb that hill with a cross that's too heavy to bear if I could learn to pray father forgive that others might live then I can say I've loved I said brother Ewing where did she get two words to it he said wisdom one of our deepest trials and a person that we loved dearly that was a comrade-in-arms hurt us so deeply said it was almost unbearable and said we were up early one morning praying and Jones sit down and pinned the words of that song then I can say I've loved see your true spiritual maturity is not denoted by how many miracles you can do it's how much love you can give I'm wrapping it up I really am so I kept looking at I'm sorry I've taken way too long tonight but let me just finish right here where are the miracles again why are we not seeing more miracles I'm asking us where are the miracles here tonight and you know we're all gonna say well if we had a little more faith no no no let me tell you where the miracles are gonna come from when you look around at each other and you move with compassion don't listen this has not Pat me on the back where's the lady at that brought the people from the home today right there so you brought those people from the home and you had me pray for their minds you don't you don't you manager the home and you bring can I pick on you a second so you guys kept bringing people up here a lot of people said why are you praying for those people Matteo I'm praying for him we tell you I'm praying for them because the experience teaches you compassion and the first one you brought to me I had a little flashback that could be me right there because I know what it's like to stand on the brink of a nervous breakdown so the total mental collapse and the doctors telling everybody you'll never survive he'll never make it and I'm watching all these people and it wasn't faith that I was asking for this morning I was wanting God to move me with compassion that I would remember when God healed me and he me tell you how God healed me from all of that He healed me through his word I would get up every morning I'd read the Word of God for two or three hours at a time and that's why I told you first thing in the morning you get those people down and read to them the Word of God because the Word of God we [Applause] the endtime revival is going to come through love when you look at the world in your love it like Jesus does and you look at each other and you love each other like Jesus does so I can't think of a better way to end Turning Point 2013 than this the miracles that you're after the revival you're after it's gonna come through a fresh baptism of the love of God because you are my brother you are my brother if there's any way that I can help you so we won't have to beg for offerings if people just learn this I know you're tired not free it's way too long we'd have to beg for money we'd have to beg for help people just respond now the love of God that's what moves euros l'm so they seen him giving and helping one another at all things in common that's when great miracle signs and wonders happened among them and the old city was moved and five thousand people received the holy ghost not because some great super apostle but because they seen them have all things in common and when Australia in Sydney and Fiji and all this region starts in the Apostolic and the spirit filled people loving one another like they should and having all things in common trust me something will happen in that dimension that your tongue talking cannot do and you're prophesying cannot accomplish is this too far in too deep there's miracles in this building tonight they're not coming by faith they're gonna come when you look at that person next to you and you say I am my brother's keeper and it's my responsibility to pray for them tonight and to believe God for something to happen and I'm asking the Holy Ghost to use me right now and impart to me whatever gift that is
