Walking In A Double Portion Of The Anointing - Part One | Nancy Dufresne | Wednesday PM

I am thrilled about what God has for us in these services as Jesus said to dad Hagen I have a plan for every single service we've not come for anything less amen and I'm excited about the next few services that I get to have with you because it's landmark services for us I I think back about if I could call it this divine appointments that I've had in my life and that no doubt you've had in your life to where somebody preached a sermon you had a conversation God spoke to you personally or someone ministered to you something by the spirit or you had a visitation from God and those became divine appointments in some cases they rescued your life some cases they just helped you make corrections to live more accurately other times it helped you chart your course so thank God for divine appointments I'm ringing up I'm ringing up here so if y'all can address that for me and so I want to share with you tonight about a divine appointment that I recently had and it's not just for me it's for you you know dad Hagan's book I believe in visions sits by my chair because they're mine he had him they were given to him but they were given for us and so don't ever take what God has given to someone that's a divine appointment treat it like it's solely theirs take ownership of it take ownership of it you know what Paul said my gospel but yet the Bible says men were they wrote as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost that was what the Holy Ghost said that wasn't what Paul said but he took ownership and called it my gospel amen and so don't just treat what I'm gonna talk about tonight is something that happened to me it's for us it's for us and you'll forgive me if I follow my notes quite closely because I don't want to leave out what's for us and we'll we'll just will I want it to land in you in a way that you go we had a divine appointment this week amen I was I I got to go to Saint Petersburg Russia with Pastor Craig and Ginny field and Pastor J and Debbie Everly and pastor Noel and Ruby Ramos and I don't know I don't know if you can have seven Musketeers but we had a great time we went last year and said okay now we're addicted and we it's a precious Church we get to go to and I mean revival is moving in that place I but every time I've gone there God speaks to me God visits me there because when you obey Him and inconvenience yourself there's reward with that and it's the will of God and so God talks to you when you're in the will of God right and I've the will of God's my home the will of God is my home so it doesn't matter where he sends me wherever he wherever he sends me that's my home because his will is my home his will is where I recline and I'm comfortable in that's I don't treat it like his will is never grievious never it's my home it's it's where I'm comfortable it's where things meet me and it's where God speaks to me and right and so every time we go there in his will he heareth us and we have wonderful services there but we have I don't know how many services a day we do two services a day in the building but we have so many services because we go to dinner before and after every service and and we sit around the table and I tell you the things that God brings us into it's we walk out of there just changed but whenever we went in April we left the last day of April in you we're there the first week of May and about a week before we left God spoke to me and said when you get to rush I'm going to talk to you and so I was kind of keeping my spiritual antenna up for when that would happen there on the trip and so on Saturday night we had gone to the service I'm talking when we have multiple services our shortest our shortest time a fellowship together around the dinner table was three hours that was our shortest and our longest was at what five and a half six now almost six hours and we did that every meal before and after you know everybody's services and I'm talking just a wealth of God's blessing and so Saturday night I don't know what hour we were in at that point of our fellowship and and sister pastor Ginny got the the waitress saved and they've had a rapport going on for a couple of years now and so then she came up to the table and she just got saved that morning and so the Spirit of God spoke to pastor Noel said lay hands on her so she comes over and she kneels down so sweetly in front of him and he lays hands on and then all of a sudden because I believe Jesus is the one that said to him lay hands on her because then he came over and stood by me and I sit there and I just kept shaking myself because the anointing was so strong the degree of it was so strong I just said and shook myself and so we continue and I and I wasn't quite you know you know sometimes that you just kind of have to what do we do next you know when that shows up so we set maybe another 20 minutes or so I don't know and then we went back to the room and as I went back to the room there almost is what we back to my room and as we're walking that anointing gets stronger that presence gets stronger and stronger and so it dawned on me ah this is what he said he said he would talk to me so I went in the room and I grabbed a pen and paper and for the next hour Jesus spoke to me and what he talked to me about was the price of the double portion anointing and so I want to share that with you over the next several services and I don't know how much of it we'll get through tonight seeing that I have over 40 pages of it and what I didn't save over 40 pages I'm I'm taking I'm taking each line that he said and we're going to talk about it in light of the word so it was interesting because I was hesitant to say because he was present it wasn't just something the inner witness he was present and so I was hesitant I thought no is this an angel or is this Jesus because my husband would see him but I don't see him I can tell you where they're standing or you know when he's present like that and I was hesitant to say is this an angel is this Jesus and then I was sharing a bit of portions of it with the group and they pointed out they said did you notice in certain places he's talked to you in first-person he said I and then he and then pastor Jay said this he said also what he said to you carry doctrine angels don't deliver doctrine anytime you see the word doctrine with an angel its doctrines of demons angels are not authorized to deliver doctrine and if if doctrine is delivered through a being it's a demon primarily amen so they anyway praise the Lord so for the next hour he spoke to me and I want to first of all just read to you what he said during that and it came out is actually two visitations because that night he was present in the room and I was acting as his secretary just writing what he dictated the next morning when I got up he said I want you to put this in a book and then he gave me further further points and so during these meetings I want to talk to you about it and to do two different parts he gave it to me and so the first is talking about that what he said to me that Saturday night now when I say this you understand he said the price of the double portion anointing we know this that Jesus paid the price to make everything available but we have to pay a price to walk in what's available we're not paying the price he paid but his price made available to us something and that if we will bring our part to what he made available we'll walk in it so that's why we're accurate in saying the price that we pay but I'm going to tell you it's a bargain at any price it's not a price of hardship it's not a price of a deprivation or something that you're depriving yourself it's a complete joy and I don't presume to say that everything he said to me that night is all that there is about what it takes to walk in the double portion 90 that's just what he's spotlighted he didn't refer to walking in love he didn't refer to walking in faith yet we know these are all part of their foundational things that must be in place to walk in anything that he has for us but yet so I don't presume to say this is inclusive but I'm giving you totally what he gave that night but before I read that to you I want to go something stood out me out to me in Luke chapter 1 if you would turn there Luke chapter 1 and in verse 17 and I'm going to read out of the amplified translation Luke chapter 1 verse 17 and this was speaking of and referring to John the Baptist and it was recorded of John the Baptist and he will himself go before him before Jesus in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn back the hearts of the father's to the children and the disobedient and incredulous and unpersuadable to the wisdom of the upright which is the knowledge and holy love of the will of God which goes hand in hand with what pastor Jay was talking about during the offering about loving God's will and then it says this in order to make ready for the Lord now this is the part I want to emphasize in order to make ready for the Lord a people perfectly prepared in spirit adjusted and disposed and placed in the right moral state so this life's phrase stands out to me that with every era we have to make sure we're in position that we are the right things are moving in us the right way of thinking is moving in us the right way of walking out his plan is moving in us so when I see these phrases that the amplified says look at this perfectly prepared in spirit perfectly means fully maturely it doesn't mean without flaw it means it means mature perfectly a matured spirit wouldn't that be referring to a developed spirit you have to develop our spirits right the next word is adjusted so I'm looking I know you are too looking I want to make any adjusted adjustments I want to make them why so I'm perfect because I want to be prepared I want to be prepared for the fullness of his plan to come to pass the next thing disposed this word disposed means which means to put in a particular or proper order in arrangement so things have to be properly ordered for there to be an uninterrupted and unhindered carrying out of his plan and his will in our lives things have to be in order we can't have things out of order and think that we can flow to the full potential can have marriages out of order can't have finances that can't have a way of thinking out of order there must be order the order of the word and then be in a right moral state why now see you'll remember what edie said by the spirit about this last day era that all fivefold office's would operate at their full potential power 100% potential of their office in full manifestation now when we MOOC would be in debt Hagen's meetings now some of you who were in his meetings might have heard him say different percentage the highest percentage I ever heard him say was he operated 70% of that profits office he would he was able wasn't just here's his ability to get there was about would the people move would the people move and respond to the flow of that office and he could only get people to respond to a certain measure now some of you may have heard him state a higher percentage but I'm saying I never heard him say I got 200% he might have and we of course not have been there but I'm saying it's not a common thing that we would ever hear him say loosely or lightly but Ed said in this last day era all the five fold gifts operating full potential power and then he said all nine manifestations of the spirit also operating at full potential power now we've heard testimonies by different ministers of certain meetings when everybody in the building got healed but that not that's not to be a random thing in this era that is to be a flow of this era now what we're reaching for is the fullness the fullness of these gifts the fullness of the offices the fullness of it now then that means we have to be perfectly prepared and things have to be in order amen hallelujah so what God shared with me will help us that's why he was sharing this with me it isn't just for me I'm of course it is for me but it's also for anyone who wants the fullness hallelujah now what he spoke to me that night was opposed I mean when he came and stood by me at the table I recognized because there was a reverence a holy awe I mean it was rightly fearful rub reverence I mean it was hmm but then also came a evil spirit to try to interrupt and caused me to miss what he had and you remember dad Hagin talked about that when Jesus appeared to him and going to talk talk to him about how demons and evil spirits operate and get hold of people even Christians if they let him and remember a spirit came in between him and Jesus and threw out a smoke screen so he couldn't see him and then started saying yakety yak yakety yak so that he couldn't distinguish the words what we've got to do stop the revelation interrupt the revelation don't let him get the revelation why because revelation is the light if people get the light the darkness cannot stay so he opposes the light and so that night that evil spirit I recognized it was in the room and it was pressing on on my mind you know not to give it glory but recognize these things aren't going to be the devil will not congratulate us at these times right and the whole time Jesus was speaking to me that evil spirit was if I could say this boldly loudly saying you cannot fulfill this you will fail in this do not agree do not agree do not agree mm-hmm and I've had enough experience and probably most of you have with opposition to know you just ignore it but this a couple of weeks before this experience I was at home and up out of my spirit just came these words any time the devil is going to speak to you or oppose you he will also come with an influence to cause you to believe what he says to be true no I know that because I have had experience and no doubt you have some of you who have had any kind of experience with opposition that just like the spirit of fear the devil doesn't just speak something fearful you can feel fear what is he doing there comes an influence of what he's saying to persuade you to believe what he's saying when we get in the presence of God you can sense the anointing what is that that is God's presence to help you believe to influence you to believe and help you to believe what he's saying to your what's going on well the devil of being an imitator of God does the same thing when he says something he sends an influence but it's not the anointing but it is something felt and when fear comes you can feel fear when doubt comes you can feel doubt that night when he said that the devil kept saying to me that demon that kept saying do not agree do not agree to this do not agree to that do not agree to this you will fail if you agree and if you fail in this you will die and I mean just but you know I've heard threats before so but what I'm saying I'm not magnifying that I'm teaching you I'm showing you so that when you have times with God don't don't believe everything you feel during that time because I felt as though I will fail the feeling of failure was overwhelming but I ignored it just ignored it and he was trying to draw my mind why so that I would shut down on receiving with my spirit trying to draw me in that mental arena so I'd say this is instruction to you and then when God said this to me that when a demon or an evil spirit speaks to your mind tries to he's trying to he will also send an influence to get you to believe what he's saying to be true I knew there's a reason he's saying that and I found that reason that night but so what now prepares the table before me in the presence of mine enemies just because they're present doesn't mean they're winning and if you want if they're gonna be present make them walk make the demons watch you eat your victory make the demons watch you eat what is spread on the table if you're gonna be present I'm gonna let you watch me I'm not gonna be impressed with you I'm gonna let you watch me amen so at the end of what Jesus said to me out of my spirit came the answer to that demon I mean and I just wrote it down exactly as it came out of my spirit and I answered that in the moment I and after I did all of that influence of that that he was trying to distract me from it left and there again the presence of God and its really what Pastor Edwin Anderson was talking about this morning just realizing you have Authority and not being not be impressed by what opposes you remember this when you're dealing with opposition you are only feeling all he feels all the time when you feel fear that's his that is his existence he is a tormented being when you feel failure that's because that's what he feels all the time he's a tormented being that's not your failure that's his your feeling that's not your fear that's he is your feeling and when he comes your only feeling all that he constantly exists in and it's not yours Amen so this is what are you ready for him they've got what took me what 20 minutes to say all that here we go so this is what Jesus said to me that night to walk accurately and in the fullness of this era and season you'll notice he said accurately and fullness fullness requires accuracy we can't we can't be inaccurate and have fullness and I'll talk further about that I'll try not to teach throughout this let me read this to walk accurately and in the fullness of this era and season do not misspeak under the anointing bring great consecration to the tongue and speech not speaking lightly inappropriately or with exaggeration only truth can be in your mouth for God and his power only flow through truth I only said what I heard my father say I only did what I saw my father do you have the help you need for this task with the tongue through the Holy Spirit notice that you have the help you need for this task with the tongue through the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit will help you choose to a guard set over your mouth to have your tongue tamed by the power help and reliance upon the Holy Spirit no man on his own contained the tongue it requires divine help of the Holy Spirit slowness to make changes is unacceptable there is to be prompt obedience now see then he's talking about getting us in the fullness right there is to be prompt obedience to correction direction and instruction that slowness of change is a bad habit of the flesh that can be broken through the power of the Spirit walking in the spirit is a requirement and a must for that change to take place when Elijah asked for a double portion of the anointing upon Elijah Elijah told him he asked a hard thing it was not hard for God but it was it would call for a hardness of Elijah toward his mind in his flesh he could not be tolerant toward weakness of his mind and flesh if he was to carry a double portion of the anointing then he said this to me you have called out for that place in the anointing which God appreciates but you also must realize to be sober about the responsibilities that anointing calls for talking about the double portion anointing it pleases God to bless you with that anointing but then it also calls for you to be pleased to bring yourself in line with the responsibilities of that anointing notice he said be pleased with those responsibilities and then he said this Smith Wigglesworth is an example isn't that nice of him to yea give a name of someone we admire and honor Smith Wigglesworth is an example of the consecration and responsibility toward that anointing he lived and walked in the spirit with ease freedom and liberty now this is what Jesus said about him he lived and walked in the spirit with ease freedom and liberty as he spent his days in feeding and meditation of the word and in fellowship with God through his ongoing devoted prayer life be mindful and purposeful to give yourself to the lifestyle of the intake of the word and fellowship with me through continued prayer my yoke is light and easy this can be accomplished with lightness and ease as you give yourself to focusing on these two things continually feeding and meditating on the word and continual prayer and fellowship with God those two things he was referring to doing these two things will help you keep the door closed to the mind and the flesh through which Satan and his strategies gain entrance meditate often and much on the lightness and ease of my yoke that you might think right toward these things in my presence is fullness of joy carry out my plan in my presence then you will hold yourself in the joy of this flow where the mind and the body are always kept under the dominion of your spirit then he said be an example in this for you have the help of the greater one to carry this out there is no burden to the responsibilities of the anointing as you take up your cross to follow me that cross lifts you into the lightness and ease of my float I never conducted my earthly life as being under a burden of the price I was to pay life for me was a great joy and delight I only experienced being a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief for a few brief moments on the cross but I carried sorrows and griefs so that you would never experience it for a moment I freed you from it so that you would only live your life under that which is light and easy amen so if life is not like neezy we're missing it now that doesn't mean we still have responsibilities but the responsibilities are not burdensome so let me break down can I because he gave me teaching about each of these so let's go back to the first phrase that he said to walk accurately and in the fullness of this era in season do not misspeak under the anointing so to misspeak under the anointing will keep us from being accurate it will keep us from being accurate and not being accurate will keep us out of the fullness now let me give you an example I would love to use you as an example in this a miss speaking under the anointing but I'm only can use me so let me give you an example of what he was talking about and we sit around the table and some of us told different examples but I won't tell theirs although I would years ago there was when I years ago in pastoring there was a flu epidemic that was going around and I had at the end of the week like on a on a Friday something like that I had a very big event an important event that I was supposed to minister at a few days before that event I was standing in my home and just audible almost audible to me it wasn't audible but seemed almost audible the devil said to me you're gonna get the flu I mean just those words are clear Isabel and I said oh no I won't and I answered it right back and just went on and didn't think anything about it now let me tell you this then I didn't start resisting the flu you understand if you resist what he threatened you with it's because you fear what he threatened you with resist the spirit of fear that spoke that to you I didn't start resisting the flu I resisted the spirit that spoke that he was trying to put fear see so when he said that I was a couple days later I was conducting a certain midweek service and I was referring about something about this event and I said I was in the middle of saying this and I said this because this event was at a particular church and I made a statement and said this church did not believe in women preachers and right before I said that I'm in the middle of that sentence and the Holy Ghost grabs me anybody ever been great I don't know how to say it other than that I mean it's like turn and you know and you and I'm in mid-sentence and I thought well I'm in mid-sentence I'm just finished the sentence but I recognized the Holy Ghost grabbed me but I just finished the sentence and I didn't call that he know I just said what I just said to you so as soon as I walked out of the service close the service walked out and as soon as I did every flu symptoms alone was on me in an instant it wasn't something that had to just get progressively worse full-blown flu symptoms in an instant so I went home and I could not I couldn't plead ignorance and I said I can't plead ignorance I said I recognize your spirit tried your spirit was very pronounced in trying to stop me and I went ahead and said it so I can't plead ignorance I wish I could but I can't so since I can't plead ignorance I plead mercy and I said would you be merciful because I have to in the morning go to this event and I am in full-blown symptoms and I said would you give me mercy I asked for mercy and the word of the Lord came to me and said all right just like a parent you know all right I will give you mercy but when you get up on Sunday morning before your congregation you repent to them over that statement and if you don't as soon as the service is over full bones flu symptoms will be back and I said you got a deal I can do that now as ministers and pastors there are many times we will miss speak just because we're speaking more than you are in a service because we're doing more talking there's more opportunities to say something wrong and God's not going to require you to get up every time and repent over everything because then the whole congregation lose confidence in you right but there are times when the Spirit deals with you specifically he won't let some things pass and it's for our own development and maturity that he doesn't now how many of you know it wasn't God putting the flu symptoms on but anytime you misspeak under the anointing now the devil is you've opened the door to the devil so I give you that as an example so I certainly got up and I've told the congregation on sudden this is what I said and this is what I repent of now let me tell you something repentance is not weakness repentance is the reason you get to have fellowship with God it is a blessing in your life to be quick to repent it is the door closer to the devil the door closer it will keep sickness and disease off of you and off of your family if you will be quick to repent and it shows depth of maturity to repent amen I was reading something where it was I believe Donald G was had been somewhere with Smith Wigglesworth and they had had conversations and evidently brother wiglesworth had said something that later he checked himself on or the Holy Ghost checked him on whatever and he came back to Donald G the next time he saw him and said you know he repented to him and Donald G said when that man repented it broke something in me he said I have never heard a repentance that carried the presence of God and a sincerity and a depth that he said it did something in me when I saw this man's level of repentance and I thought I don't know I don't quite know quite what he's talking about I don't know that I've ever seen that until brother Copeland called me one day and I had communicated with him and he I knew that he was it was after a convention so I knew he went away to rest after a convention and I did not expect any form of communication back from him but about ten days later he came back and found my communication there and he realized that he wanted to respond to that and he called me and I said brother Copeland I you know I'll tell you this I was telling them this is the table when you pick up your and you see brother Copeland's name is like I cannot tell you how many times I go do I answer or not do I answer it or not do i insert or not because I'm not prepared to answer it I mean my my under stun all of a sudden you know when you see is no and I'll call them back in just a few minutes after I gather myself and repent and get everything get profit ready you know and you know not tell anybody have people somebody like that in their life that yeah and I don't mean that as a negative I mean it as uh and so you know it's like you almost but I don't have anyone set off right now and so and so you know so you pick up the phone and okay wait get calm hi brother Copeland how are you cold as a cucumber you know and this particular day he said Nancy he said I am not very well now go oh that mean for me you know and then he said I never say these words but he says I'm saying I'm he says I am so so so so sorry and then he said I just received saw such-and-such and you know I was not able to respond to you quickly I did not see it and he said that is unacceptable all of a sudden on the phone he turns to he starts talking to God and I heard that man repent to God in a way that broke me and then he repented again to me and I brother Copeland don't know I mean I already continue I mean I can think of a lot of things right now that I can repent to you about no but I mean there was such a debt it brought a reverence ice it did not make me think less it made me be more impressed with walk with God this man had in repentance is what demonstrated that what I'm trying to say to you is this to walk in this anointing will have to be clean and we're going to have to be we're going to have to be upfront with God and upfront with people and if that calls for repentance that's not a negative that is a wealth of maturity spiritually amen I didn't mean to say all that but that helps us doctor some are also this is what I'm talking about miss speaking under the anointing when the gnawing of God is upon you and that Holy Ghost checks you you can't just same thing you your mouth is hears at that time under the anointing your vessel is his and you can't use that vessel for your own purpose under that anointing it's for his use only under the anointing and he said at one point he had said it's dangerous to misspeak under the anointing it's a dangerous doctor Summerall made this statement and it always it landed in me so big he said others may but I may not in other words what standard works for others won't work for me and I just because someone else does that is not my permission to do it just because someone else may say it is not my permission to say it because they are not responsible for the anointing I walk under the anointing is the greatest power in existence so we can't handle it lightly or irresponsibly think of the great precautions and care that they take when they're dealing with radio accurate radioactive and atomic power and think of this the way they're dressed can we stay on that a little bit they don't just dress any a way to handle that stuff because it is they recognize there such power here that they will where they'll be suited out long theta it does matter when when we're handling the anointing that the way God is honored and that is people say well God's not concerned I love something brother Keith Moore said in a convention recently because he spent quite a bit of his sermon talking about the honor of how you conduct yourself and people will say and this is what he said people will say God doesn't care about how we dress and he said well he used to and since he never changes [Applause] because the Old Testament is quite full a descriptive detail about the garb you say well we're not under the Old Testament but we're still under a covenant on earth and since the new covenant is a greater covenant shouldn't it have greater honor just and people will say well it's not about clothes but see the thing is the way someone looks out here is governed by what's in here and I can't see your insides I can only see what your spirit allows you to put on out here and I'll know some things about your insides by seeing this now if you're on top that's different but when you're taught there's an accountability today amen amen because those who handle radioactive things and atomic things they are they're suited a particular way and if one decide well I you know I'm just that's just and there's just not me that big a white suit with the helmet and so that's just not me that's fine that's fine yeah how's that working out for you you know it's not about what you it's about what honors him it's about what honors him and if they mishandled atomic power this this power the great danger associated with that and we have to realize we're talking about the anointing of this era we have to be sober about the handling of that measure of anointing and power how much more the anointing they they couldn't be careless in handling couldn't be careless and that's really what Jesus was impressing upon me get rid of all carelessness and lightness toward the handling of the anointing it's really called a reverence isn't it it's called that some people have dismissed as being out of style or out of fashion or out not relevant anymore you know it's it's it's it's about it's really a carelessness that has come in yeah and it's dangerous it's dangerous to be careless because and you heard it say there's so many times if you'll be casual and careless in your dress you will be with the opposite sex you will be with how you conduct your thought life it won't just stay in one arena of your life that carelessness and casualness will move into every single other relationship and arena because it is a earmark of something so the next phrase he said to me tells us now he said he said to us he said to walk accurately and in the fullness of this errand season do not misspeak under the anointing then the next phrase tells us how to not misspeak under the anointing he said bring great consecration to the tongue and speech not speaking lightly inappropriately or with exaggeration a consecrated life calls for a consecrated tongue if you say I consecrate my life to God then you can't leave the tongue removed from that consecration that tongue has to be part of that consecration because you cannot separate your tongue from the direction your life goes a consecrated tongue calls for a consecrated discipline thought life you can't consecrate your tongue and let your mind just think anything it wants about anybody it wants about any situation at once you can't think doubt and unbelief and think that the consecration of the tongue is going to show up we must guard our thought lives to guard our tongues a consecrated tongue is a disciplined tongue one that's under great control if we miss speak in daily life just in carrying out our daily life we will most likely miss speak when were under the anointing because the way we speak outside the pulpit will show up in the pulpit so what's this mean we have to discipline our we have to discipline our thought life in our tongues in daily life we have to be mindful mindful and we'll talk more about this in a minute wrong speaking and wrong words are an open door to the devil and that's where he gains entrance he's counting on your tongue to do it wrong because he can get in well I didn't mean it that way you know what my dad planted cotton and for some reason there was still some wheat seeds left or some other kind of seeds left and they fell in the ground they say a tomato seed was there and it grew up right there by the cotton because it fell into this soil at the same time he planted the cotton that he wouldn't go out and seen the ground I meant to grow cotton why'd you go to the tomato because that's a seed that came in it's not in your life doesn't grow what you meant and your life grows what you say in the ground done grow up my dad meant to grow it grows what's planted James and I'll just read it to you James chapter 3 verse 2 the amplified says for we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things and if anyone does not offend in speech never says the wrong thing he's fully developed he is a fully developed character and a perfect man a perfect man means mature man able to control his whole body and de curb his entire nature so it's possible and then first Timothy chapter 6 verse 20 again the amplified Paul writing to Timothy said o Timothy guard and keep the deposit entrusted to you then he tells him how to keep what's entrusted him what's entrusted to us the anointing the call of God the influence God gives us because God what about the voice God gives us to the people that we speak into their life those things are to be and they're entrusted to us and we're to keep that and be reverent and responsible toward that and then Paul tells Timothy how to keep it turn away this is the amplified turn away from the ear reverent babble godless chatter and the vain and empty and worldly phrases what do you think makes you cool makes you not handling your deposits right being around listen so the greatest honors is to be around some of the men of God we've gotten to be around with and still get to be around I noticed this they were not men of loose tongues men of faith knows that their words are spiritual currencies their words purchase something so they didn't speak mindlessly or just sitting rattle at a table their words carried purpose one thing when you were around dr. Summerall he was not interested in what the weather was don't sit and ask him how how's the weather back in South Bend you just look at you like I've got something bigger to talk about than that I mean you would just want the floor to open up and carry you wherever it carried you to because he had absolutely no tolerance for just filler conversation now we're talking about double portion anointing right but let me qualify it this being around these men that I'm talking about they still weren't religious sounding every every statement was not a scripture every statement was not a confession they were so comfortable in the flow of this life of faith in this life of consecration that it flowed from the naturally and easily and it was natural and it sounded natural and they were so normal they were so normal they weren't weird they weren't trying to sound spiritual this thing had become such a part of the way they operated that it was so natural to them that they sounded so normal and it wasn't religious sounding when somebody asked Charles Finney one time about Father Nash now if you ever have studied anything about these two men of course Finney was a great revivalist had some of the greatest three Bibles recorded and try and finish other Nash had was a man that traveled with him and really didn't go to his meetings but he would go into the cities before he was going to have a revival and he'd spend days or weeks whatever praying and he would just pray all during the meetings even he wasn't even participating in the services and so he brought a great contribution to Charles phinny's ministry and somebody said to Charles Finney what is father Nash like because they never really got to be around him he was a private man and father Nash made this stuff excuse me Charles Finney made this statement said he's a quiet man like any man who prays much what was he saying he when he's so he's in a place of conducting business his words are for God amen now I'm not saying that you have to turn into a boring person I'm talking about being mindful that this is another errand it's gonna call for something more than what we might have been used to considering because this is what Paul was telling Timothy to keep this deposit that's entrusted to you turn away from irreverent babble godless chatter and the vain and empty and worldly phrases so when Jesus said to me bring great consecration to the tongue he then told me how in this he said not speaking lightly not speaking inappropriately or with exaggeration now not speaking lightly let's look at that I mean years ago God dealt with me because among us four kids I was the youngest of four so I couldn't beat him up the by two oldest brother you know I had my two oldest were bought or my brothers and then my sister was three years older than me so I was number four and I couldn't beat him up so I used my mouth that's why your younger children are usually louder and more verbally combative because they're trying to survive in a sea of older people and it's not that they're bad they're just trying what what's my leverage I got again gain some leverage so my leverage became my mouth and my wits and my dad was one of the funniest most witty persons you would ever want to be around and precious man but I mean that man's wit was admirable we all aspired to it he would be in Steven and him were daddy loves Steven they got he Steven got to spend a lot of time with him and Steven loved my dad and my dad would just sit in the car just one right after the other and then Steven would be crying laughing so hard cuz daddy knew didn't no time no time for a comeback he did not think about it it was on the tip of his tongue and it would bury you in a moment you know and Steven would just laugh I've seen him just tears or undone his face and he's laughing so hard he can get his breath hard he get his breath then we get out of the car and I said now I know he's funny but don't you do that don't you talk don't you repeat any of that but when I was years and years ago you know I was pretty good at that wit thing until I had a visitation and God dealt with me about it and he said that will always hold you back there's I'm not saying you can't show personality and have fun I'm not saying you can't do that but I'm saying you can take it across a line and when it goes across that line now it hurts your spiritual life and it will hurt things that God has for you in the future and in this era what was okay in previous seasons of our lives we're gonna have to maybe measure now amen and I'm not saying you can't tell you I'm not saying you can't have fun just saying be aware be aware that if there's something more we have to is something if it's anything that we're currently doing holding us out of something more is it gonna restrict us in that amen so we must what's this mean for if we want to walk in this double portion anointing is that means we're gonna have to discipline ourselves not to just speak mindlessly not even thinking I mean considering not being mindless toward conversations or statements we make I'm so glad that brother Richard Roberts had the service he did of laughing last night so that you can now you know it got you happy now that we can hear this right it helps our hearing of this I mean yeah I'd rather have a laughing service maybe well not really I'd rather do this but I'm just saying we need it all right and don't don't forget your laughing last night to help you swallow and you have we have to learn in our maturity as we mature that just because their silence is not the invitation for you to feel it right my mother used to tell us kids because there's four of us in a house and four time we lived in a very small house very small I mean like my sister and I slept in a twin bed together till she went to high school and in fact when they sold out that house the people who bought it said oh this is a nice walk-in closet that was our bedroom what do you mean I'm talking so you can understand what six of us living in this very small place but mother used to tell us kids often quit rattling quit rattling just your mind yet your tongue just they don't know these kinds of things have an effect on spiritual development amen there again here this with your heart and not with legalism this is not meant to make us legal and dry and boring and no fun but it's meant to be aware that we measure things rightly for this era about ourselves if God's been dealing with you about something address it if he hasn't enjoy yourself now when Dad when Jesus was telling me this the book that came to me and he was talking about this was dad Hagen's mini book five hindrances to growth and grace I don't know if you've ever read that but if you haven't get hold of it it's a it's a power punch book and he talked about five things that will keep you back out of the best God has for you and it was lightness looseness laziness lacasa T and like other people the five things and the quasi means talks too much he talked about that these five things will hinder your spiritual growth so you might want to you might want it sometime find that and grab it and then he said how to as we as you said there's how to bring great consecration to the tongue not speaking lightly inappropriately or with exaggeration now those things are about speaking lightly now let's real quick refer to not speaking inappropriately inappropriate speech would be include include being irreverent about spiritual things joking too much about spiritual things because we have some good times in these services don't turn them into a joke don't go home and mock it don't go home and make it a playtime don't even though even when we're in hilarity and it's the joy of the Lord it's still to be treated with reverence and not turn into a circus mentality and just mock the thing because it's inappropriate and Jesus said that that would that would hinder that double portion anointing so we don't go home and make fun of people or you know what I'm saying you know what you know what I'm talking about I don't have to elaborate then it's not speaking appropriate it would be of course off-color jokes off-color conversations comments about the opposite sex all these things don't trade them in for the anointing inappropriate speaking would also include not talking about things that aren't your business it's inappropriate you'll never be spiritual until you learn another man's business is not yours mind your own business those who walk in a double portion anointing are not interested in including themselves in something that's not their business because to walk in a double portion Oien ting cause for your full attention upon yourself you don't have time to be monitoring someone else amen when you're keeping yourself mindful of what you must do and we all know this what is it keep your own backyard clean right another inappropriate speaking would include oh my gosh she picked up another section of pages I'm almost done with this this part inappropriate speaking would include getting our opinion opinionated people will always hinder their spiritual lives well I'm not a P I'm not overly opinionated I said opinionated let me tell you what an opinion is it's the thought of someone without authority because if you had authority over that it would be a decision not an opinion and if it's an opinion it's because you don't have authority over and so you're just stating what you would do if you were the boss about amen when we got delivered we got delivered from having to have an opinion when we got freed we got freed from having to have an opinion your opinions will pollute the soil of your heart if you're not careful inappropriate speaking would include speaking against people and I'm talking about all people but especially the local church the body of Christ you're a pastor the leadership to speak inappropriately to anyone or especially in front of your own children we think of child abuse is only being somebody who hits the body but child abuse for the believer is someone who plants something in their children of offense and ill-will and bitterness and disregard and disrespect for the local church for leadership for the pastor all of that is child abuse for the believer because now you have set your child back from their spiritual progress it will always something can go into your children and they hear you talk about a brother in the church or talk against the pastor because one day your child is going to need a miracle through the pastor and if you've spoken things against the pastor it will hinder their their faith their believing their reverence their regard and then people will say things like I don't know I can't get my child to come to church what do you say at home because at our home you're not put you're not talking bad about people in the church our kids want to be a church why because we speak so flower ly about those in the church and all of this will affect the flow of in Owenton amen inappropriate speaking would include someone who's given to use their mouth for anger gossip all of these sins of the mouth right that we know of combating a stripe Joe people well bless God I'm just gonna I'm just gonna give him a piece of my mind but what you gave away was you know you you stepped back from moving further well I did you know no I didn't say it from anybody but the thing is God's trying to bring us all or he's trying to get our hearts in such a place that we can go further and every time we do something against our spirits every time we say something against our spirits it sets us back from maturing and going further in things right and then the third thing not speaking with exaggeration how many times when I'd hear dad Hagin talk about I don't exaggerate about anything is there any reason that Jesus walked in that we know of that we know of eight times and talked to him face-to-face for an hour and a half had those eight major visions not to mention all the others and not to mention all of them ones he never told anyone about is there any wonder when he says I refuse to exaggerate I'm not gonna exaggerate Smith Wigglesworth would say I don't exaggerate because exaggeration is not the truth and God can only bless truth exaggeration can be a habit with people drama is nothing but an exaggerated version of an incident can I tell you this if you want to if you want your life to be blessed stay away from people of drama first of all don't be a person of drama please because it's it's an ink it's an inappropriate speech stay away from drama people who create drama or people who are attracted to drama maybe they don't speak it but they'll sure show up for the show because drama makes something bigger for effect or for attention if you need your attention through drama you have you are far away from knowing who you are in Christ amen we've all heard the phrase evangelistically speaking that shouldn't be associated with ministers or ministries to give accurate results accurate numbers and all of that because exaggeration about something never makes it true and it doesn't bring credibility at ruins credibility about it amen and only truth can be in our mouths for God and his power only flows let's see this is what Jesus said to me only truth can be in your mouth for God and his power can only flow through truth how many of you know the devil doesn't need truth to flow he can't flow where there's truth I said he can't flow where there's truth praise the Lord so for truth to be in our mouth with in the pulpit it has to be in our mouth in the house in the car on the job Amen well I think I will stop there for now and then we will pick up maybe in the morning or whatever so these are the kinds of things that you can't just hear once Amen I don't know if it'll be the highest selling CD of the service but of the conference but these are the things that if we're going to go forward it's called the renewing of the mind amen these things renew us because when we're believing because every day I call out God I believe you for full measure the fivefold offices full measure the non manifestations of the Spirit we can call for him but if we don't qualify for them so now we're talking about how to qualify for what we call for and for what he has said belongs to us amen well are you help tonight hallelujah father we thank you tonight we're so grateful we're so appreciative for what you're bringing us into we're so expectant and we don't want to be left out we want to be right in the middle of what you're doing every day and father we're thanking you so much for not leaving you like you found us as you correct us and as you show us things that can be made better we thank you that that correction is a flow of your love toward us for whom you love you correct and we say thank you for not leaving us like we were and we embrace it and we thank you for it and everybody said stand with me to your feet if you would tonight [Music] hallelujah allelujah I think we ought to sing something don't you miss Regina where are you love [Music] be glorified today in my life here [Music] be glorified [Music] Oh [Music] to Hideo church Hey [Music] we glorify No me horrified today [Music] [Music] real or if I today father we're so grateful and we bring ourselves to another level of concentration in your plan because what you have for us we're not willing to exchange for anything less and we thank you for it we give you praise we give you honor and we're just so expectant about what this era holds and father we thank you by your word and use in your spirit you help prepare us for all that your plan holds and we give you things and everybody said amen Alleluia we'll turn to turn to somebody before you're dismissed or not of course don't miss in the morning ten o'clock but turn to somebody before you're dismissed tonight and say I want all God has for me and you can be dismissed god bless you [Music]
