Todd White - Questions and Answers at the Gym

i'm just doing my my sets i'm listening to um john 16 and john 17 over and over and over again and they came up i was actually praying in the spirit and they came up and started talking to me i remember her getting prayer last night i remember her specifically looking at me like like is that it like is there more her first question was if we came to the fire tunnel for the baptism of fire we didn't feel anything does that mean we didn't get it he didn't say to walk my feelings i mean it happens a lot and it's happened to a lot of people but i would say out of if i got prayed for ten times he's with us he's my friend so out of one out of ten one out of 10 times i feel something tangible but that's one out of 10 times so i'm not like a real big feeler but i'm a i'm a knower so faith isn't knowing that you know that you know she shared other questions but it all had to do with the cross it actually all had to do with the message that i shared this morning which was cool because they missed it because they're only coming for the night sessions [Music] i want to live a life more like how you live your life if i go up to someone how do i know like what you're dealing with you know like and if i if i assume something it's okay but like what if you walk up to somebody and you just told them that hey i just want to tell you that jesus loves you and has a plan for your life and what if they say thank you so much what is it then you're like uh to give you life that's perfect that's amazing like try not to premeditate what you're gonna say because the holy spirit will give you what you're gonna say just walk in love and care about people like with girls approaching guys there's always the hit aspect especially when like because like when a guy talks to a girl in a gym a lot of times it's to hit on her like it is so to avoid the hit bring the conversation to jesus immediately like don't leave jesus out of the equation at all because we train women how to witness and so like if you're a woman and you're going to witness and you're going to be at a club like this you better bring jesus into the equation because the guy's thinking completely opposite but it's it's one person at a time one step at a time one day at a time it's not like oh my gosh like all these people what do i do just pick somebody just tell them that god loves them and cares for them most people say thanks and walk away don't ever be condemned for not sharing enough but be thankful that you were able to share what you did and don't be condemned because it's growing it's growing in faith moving from faith to faith and glory to glory so it's never about oh my gosh i coulda i shoulda and i didn't and man or if you knew you wanted to pray for somebody and then you turn around they're gone man god i miss the opportunity give me another one and you'll turn around there'll be another person right in front of you okay it's easy but there's no condemnation in this thing and it's growing and it's just learning how to be a witness it's moving from doing witnessing to being a witness she wants to witness and her questions were what if i go to pray for somebody or i go to talk to somebody and they start asking questions and that's a lot of people like what they're thinking like how am i going to respond i said well give me a risk give me an example she said well suppose like someone says well you know my my my sister died or like my marriage dissolved like what do you do and i said well what would you say to the one that sister died it was amazing what she said what do you think about that like if someone's sister died did that kill him i would say the enemy you know there's a devil and there's god and the enemy comes to kill and destroy anything you know that's not love is not for god it's awesome she said you know what i would tell them that like the thief comes to steal kill and destroy and jesus came to give us life and life abundantly and out of her mouth came the very thing that i would have told them because the devil comes to steal kill and destroy god doesn't take people out he receives people but he doesn't take him out he's not the one that kills people [Music] you know how god [Music] should you pray those things in silence oh no i would let him hear you talk to your father give me an example if you were to pray like please please provide good health for our families yeah and the devil hears that he's like well now i'm gonna try to i thank you for the divine health that you've promised my family lord we're in covenant with you father we thank you you're amazing god thank you for the covenant that you have given us god and divine health is part of that covenant because when jesus paid the price on the tree he died for my sin but he also was whipped and bruised for my for my healing so father thank you that healing is in the atonement you're amazing [Music] i have never been able to see myself like how god sees me yeah like do you know how i can start yeah start to read the scripture and start to realize that the whole new testament is actually the last will and testament it's the inheritance that you've been given so when you read the bible start to read and start to see through the lens of right standing with god so god sees you as right with him so the first thing to realize is what the cross did the cross paid a price to forgive you of all your sin of all your transgressions he didn't just forgive it but he forgot it so part of the problem with seeing ourselves is when we look we see yesterday instead of today so when you look and you see today that god doesn't remember yesterday i'm telling you this is everything that's why it's the good news when you see that god doesn't see you for where you came out of that god sees you right now for your faith in jesus that's where he sees you so when you realize that with your heart that god sees you for who you are now in love with jesus forgiven in love with god don't even have it in your heart to do the things that you once did it's not your life that girl's dead you're alive in christ so when you start to see that's how god sees you it's no problem so the most important place in your life is going to be the secret place that's every christian's life where they could actually go away get quiet and pray to a god that they can't see i i love to camp in like ephesians philippians colossians galatians because it's real intimate when it comes to identity and so it really solidifies identity and who god's called you to be how he's called you to live how he calls you to walk like of course jesting joking all that stuff it cuts it off like it just ends it and so they're only small books but they're only four or five pages each easy reading easy so like camping in there like philippians says think about things noble of things pure and things lovely and put your mind on these things and so it tells you how to think and so the bible and so the more we start to think like god thinks the more we say what god says and the more we can look in the mirror and when you look in the mirror it says it said corinthians 3 verse 17 it says the lord is the spirit where the spirit of the lord is there's liberty in other words where the spirit is there's freedom [Music] i talked today about how your past has no voice in your future and talked about how the blood of jesus how it removes your sin as far as the east is from the west it doesn't just he doesn't just forgive you he forgets it as though it never existed so in the father's eyes he doesn't see who you were like he doesn't see who you were before you got married he has to see i understand i get it but i'm talking to you about it because like but he doesn't dig it up to try to fix you he wants you to let it go because he already did there's nothing you can do you can't go back and fix it but revisiting your past apart from the blood of jesus is illegal because the blood of jesus is what set you free so without the blood you have nothing to hold on to and satan will drudge it and dig it and poke you and prod you and try to get you to get psychological help in order to be free from it but no psychology can set you free only jesus can set you free and so like i had 22 years of a wrecking ball of a life and jesus went not guilty but everybody around me told me why i needed to go through this and go through this go through this and then and hopefully i could get free after i go through this and go through this and go through this but jesus really set me free if i have to continue going through to get free i i probably won't ever be free because it's something i continually have to go through to see if this is really gone or not and a feeling doesn't mean it's still there a memory doesn't mean it's still there it's not a voice inside trying to get out it's a voice i'll try to try to get back into it it's really safe because the gospel because there's lots of voices that try to whisper into everybody's life jesus said my sheep will know will hear and obey my voice and the strangers they won't follow so a stranger is constantly whispering trying to get back in because there's no room at the end like when you're occupied by the holy ghost like there's no room god doesn't share the house ever so the enemy wants you to think and tries to make you guilty ashamed or condemned so that you think it's something in you that still needs freedom does that make sense it's stuff that every every christian gets nailed with i shared about peter peter denied jesus like if anybody had to get free it had been peter like paul killed christians they're two people in the bible that if they couldn't get free from where they came out of they could never get this thing over jesus speaking to your heart it's awesome because it's real because it's freedom it's freedom he says this he says i started today in romans 8 at the end the last verse in romans says i am fully persuaded i think neither life nor death right talks about life death things present things to come doesn't say things past it says things present things come skips right over your past because the cross dealt with it it says no other creative thing shall be able to separate you from receiving the love of god that's in christ jesus your past is the only thing that has the ability to separate you and if you give the enemy a voice to your past it'll separate you from receiving god's love so the holy spirit's in you because you're born again last night we prayed for him to be upon you you pray in tongues yet okay it's okay it's all right just come out because i don't want to like think i'm doing it and then not be you know no like the problem is you won't always get the interpretation for what you're praying but tongues are a communication with just you and god like i was sitting here praying in times when you guys walked up when i was a kid i went to summer camp and they were doing the brain in tongues and i did start saying stuff but i wasn't sure so your mind goes and says wait a minute that doesn't that's freaky yeah no just no one has to be around be by yourself just you and god it actually says that it edifies and grows your spirit man so it's really powerful it is but in in second corinthians 3 17 it says the lord is the spirit where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty and we all with unveiled face beholding is in a mirror the glory of the lord and we are being transformed from glory to glory so what he's saying is that the holy spirit god is spirit and when the holy spirit comes and makes us humming you it's god getting to man it's not man getting to god it's jesus paid a price for god to get to man so now he lives inside of us so when i look in the mirror i can actually see christ in me the hope of glory god likes to live in you so you should like that he likes delivering you love god with all your heart your soul your mind your strength love your neighbor as yourself you can't love your neighbor unless you can love you you can't love you unless you see god's love for you because when you see the price that he paid for you and find out what god thinks about you all of a sudden it's easy to love that so when i tell people i love me it's not the old me it's the new me that's filled with him so i love the me that he created me to be and i'm finding out every day more of me because i find out more of him but he's faithful and he's just and he really wants to have all of us he doesn't want to have party once at all amen awesome all right so nice to meet you proud of you how do you bro appreciate it all right really really cool that i got to have that encounter with them um and just pray for them and just just be there and then um encountered another guy and he told me that his wrist was really messed up and and i just shared my testimony shared about brian head welch with tattoos and did you know different stuff prayed for his wrist he went over and lifted heavy it was knee he was walking out he goes yo i tested my wrist it's good man that's really cool because like his wrist was messed up and he couldn't lift heavy so he went and pushed it right away that's in the gym someone has an injury and you tell him you prayed for it how does it feel they immediately check out the equipment to see so that was really neat he believes in god um he's not like on fire pursuing jesus but he does believe which was really cool but just planting seeds and sowing seeds you don't have to seal the deal i mean you'll know when someone's ready they're ready and it's awesome and and you can pray with them and they can receive jesus but don't neglect the reality of sowing seeds because seeds are really important remember seeds grow it says in mark 2 it says when the seed is grown or when the seed is sown it grows up which is the law of seed if i sow a seed in faith i believe it has to grow in faith and that's pretty amazing so yep talked to a couple other people but it was amazing got my workout in and worked out the gospel at the same time
