[Music] [Music] move [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] hi everybody my name is willie bell and i'm here to tell you about uh giving my testimony about uh being deliberate from the i colorado to the doctor i went to emergency uh march 25th they determined right away they said oh you have it i said where they say you have the virus then you have the virus and you have pneumonia um and it's stemming from the virus so we need to admit you i said okay uh they came back and said well we have no rooms so i um i'm like okay so you want to admit me but you have the rooms so what are you gonna do they said well we're gonna find out where we can send you and they finally ended up sending me uh to uh university of michigan medical center in ann arbor nonetheless i i was positive i was optimistic i was faithful of course and that's what you have to do you have to be faithful the whole time if you believe that god has healed you um then you have to exhibit that in your in your whole ordeal as you go through every stage of the way you have to exhibit that and that's what i was doing and then so finally he told me this one particular morning they said uh mr bell you're doing good and then um we like where you are by seven o'clock that same evening it appeared like my angels angel was just just bombarded my room i mean i had seven doctors come in and flick the lights on while i'm watching tv around seven o'clock in the evening and i'm lying in bed i'm feeling great i thought i was doing great the doctors delivered the news and they said well mr bell um your oxygen is turned uh it's taking the turn for the worst we're gonna have to put you on a ventilator and i said i thought they told me this morning i was doing fine yeah well mr bill you may have been doing fine but um it's taking a turn forward so we're gonna have to send you and this is our only answer right now by the way i had my wife and my mother-in-law my father loved one um uh facetime and uh we're talking and telling her about what's going on and she said well 30 things would be just fine and finally this doctor leans into my phone and speaking directly to my wife without my permission and he says like a demon just came out of nowhere he says well i want you to know this may be the last time you see your husband [Music] and i look to the store and i said man make it out of here then he leans back and he says well i just want to be i just want to be transparent um you know this may be the last time you talk to your wife because you're going on a ventilator so finally got him on away from there got an elevator and went on to icu went on to icu and i'm talking to my wife and she's crying for a second here she's kind of breaking down a little bit um and i understand why because he just emotionally impacted her you know her uh her her life and um so we went back in the faith and we stood in faith and we uh you know stood on what we agreed on and what we prayed about the ventilator was fine i got on the ventilator and i was only on the ventilator 40 hours i wasn't even on a ventilator two days they opened up my chest uh i shouldn't say my chest my lungs open up my lungs and got my lungs uh clear um immediately i was able to so to to function a lot better i started getting better the fever broke never came back and um that was a turning point for me and the next day after getting back into my regular room and i'm getting stabilized and getting stronger and breathing better and everything else uh they send a young man into my room and uh as a you know as a um a roommate and this this this this man he was he was struggling he was um you know he had the virus but his body was was painting him all over he explained to me that it was from head to toe that it was continuous and so it's okay brother you're healed i just spoke the word into him right away right away right away smoke the word into him and every morning uh we would get up and i would start prayer with him every morning and um um and then i would make sure we we ate together when we ordered our breakfast together our lunch and dinner together um so one morning i i wake up and i say i say hey brother i say you ready to order your breakfast he said no man i painted so bad i'm not going to eat this morning i said brother remember i said this fight is twofold i'll say it's spiritual and it's flesh i said you gotta feed your body and so i said you gotta do it to stay strong he said okay okay brother all right all right so he he ordered his food and we ordered our food as normal we kept going and over the next couple of days um they were talking about sending me home and so we talked about that felt real bad that i was leaving him and so uh finally the day came and uh um i got dressed and he's standing at the door of our room as i'm getting ready to leave and this brother stood six foot five and so he had his gun on i had my regular clothes on and i gave him a hug because we bonded find it that quickly i said you're coming home man so you're coming home he said hey man amen yes i am i'm coming home come on two or three days later uh he calls me said he said uh brother bill i'm home oh i said oh praise god well i mentioned this brother because i believe god allowed me to be transferred from role of bulma to encourage this brother to give him hope and to pray with him uh so he'll have hope to come home so finally i'm in my home i'm in my bed i'm i'm with my wife and my my 18 month old son and what a joy and uh we're just happy to see each other it's just a beautiful thing to be home after after going through this ordeal right and one of the things that my mother-in-law did she gave me a song and i've been testing my lungs the whole time trying to see if i if i could sing because i've been wanting to sing while i was in hospital you know seeing some praise i worship it but my my my throat and my you know coming off that that ventilator just wouldn't let me do it and i'm still healing from that right now as you can probably hear my voice but the song is it's your breath in our lungs so i pour out my face for my praise yeah yeah so i'm able to

i know it's the work night and all of that amen but praise god you made the way and i believe when you make special effort greater things come your way hallelujah amen open your bibles to philippians 4 please praise the lord amen philippians chapter 4 we're going to begin reading very familiar texts verse 15. paul says now you philippians know also in the beginning of the gospel when i depart departed from macedonia no church communicated with me with giving and receiving but you only no church entered a partnership with me and to me that was an astonishing statement you know how many churches paul planted and for him to say praise god no one communicate or enter into partnership with me concerning but notice giving and receiving not just giving not just receiving but you did even in thessalonica you said once again to my necessity paul said not because i desire something for me but i desire fruit that may abound to your account that word abound in the greek means superbound praise god that word account a lot of times we read the word account and we think a bank account but that word account praise god has a different meaning that that word is the word logos in other words praise god you're putting action to your words hallelujah and one of the actions we put to our words is by giving he says now i have all on the bound i'm full i received from epaphroditus the things that were sent from you they are an odor of sweet smell a sacrifice acceptable well pleasing to god but actually in the greek text now my god shall supply praise god and that word supply plural amen it means he will cram your net full praise god all your necessities knees praise god lack according to his riches in glory by christ jesus you'll find that riches in glory praise the lord throughout the word of paul's writings and the riches in glory is who the holy spirit will then bring about the circumstances necessary to produce your need being met oh praise his holy name so when we give we're not losing anything when we give we're receiving and blessing praise god it's offering time hallelujah amen now lots of two-thirds of our people give online nowadays so if you're doing that do that but then there's still some of us who are old school like me and they still have an offering envelope and if you're one of those and you would like an offering envelope that i should be honored to give you if you need one if there's not one in the pew pocket in front of you praise god and of course you can give online by text giving at two four eight two hundred fifty four ninety you can give by text at two four eight two hundred fifty four ninety or you can give online at word of faith dot cc forward slash giving that's word of faith dot cc forward slash giving praise god during these times we receive offers a little different than the way we we used to we actually walk and do it amen like when i grow up as a boy in church this is the only way we received offers so we're just kind of going back to the way we used to do it amen praise the lord so i'm going to ask you to stand in jesus name and and i trust hallelujah that you are ready for what you're going to do about your giving amen but first of all praise god lift your arm to the great high priest the lord jesus christ amen praise god father we thank you for the honor and privilege to sow seed into a good ground harvest comes from it in souls one in the word of god going forth now angels go forth and bring harvest unto us we've obeyed the lord we do it with love in our hearts and we thank you father for the harvest we receive it and we thank you for it in that holy name above all names the name of jesus and by his precious blood and authority and everyone in agreement with this prayer said amen we're going to walk today if you're in the center aisle on a lower upper bowl you go to your right hand aisle you come by the center table praise god if you're on the west side auditorium you go to your right hand turn go to your right praise the lord there's a table here on the west side if you're here on the east side praise god you go to your left hand aisle amen and you come past the table praise god here on the east in jesus name and rest follow amen and let's do it in jesus name go ahead and sing whatever you got prepared [Music] because the lord [Music] he lets me rest in the meadow's grass [Music] and he let me do [Music] that's why i'm safe that's why i'm safe [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] lord is my shepherd i have everything i need he lets me [Music] [Music] [Music] that's why i'm safe that's why i'm safe [Music] [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Applause] is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] let's all stand to our feet please praise god [Music] now the bible said that he gave some apostles prophets evangelists pastors and teachers reason why for the perfecting of the saints working the ministry edifying of the body of christ till we all come in that unanimity of the faith knowledge of the son of god till we grow become mature men to the measure of the stature of fullness of christ no more children tossed this way in that way every kind of winter destruction and whereby they deceive but we learn to speak the truth of love grow up into him see how many times he says grow up into him and all things even christ hallelujah and so our speaker tonight praise god it's been a while since he's been here we are glad that we happen to have him with us tonight that's brother keith moore praise god amen praise the lord now one of the reasons why i like brother keith you know they always talk about the his he and i went to the same bible school graduated etc and uh when we grew up we we always had to deal with the magnificent kenneth's [Music] kenneth hagin ken of copeland and all that special names kenneth one reason why i like keith moe is because he's got a special name keith and even though he doesn't like to admit it even my son's name my son's real name is not andre his name is keith he's keith ii amen that's a special name boy i'm just teasing them up here praise god keith moore is the founder and president of more life ministries and faith life church he has pastors two churches one in branson missouri and another one in sarasota florida praise god and of course many of you have seen on tv victory and other places you're very familiar with his ministry praise god to the viewing audience you're about to be blessed as well we have of course uh material from him at least he'll tell you how you can get his material praise god and uh because i highly endorse it praise the lord and he and i have a and pastor deborah praise god and his wife fellas have a long lineage we were talking about how we were blessed praise god to be able to sit at the feet of brother kennedy we really work so i want to give a word of faith welcome once again to the reverend key hallelujah amen hallelujah praise god thank you brother keith thank you sir thought i was am i on check hello hallelujah [Applause] [Music] thank you sir what a privilege it is to be with you in this great meeting in light of uh all the things that have happened the last couple of years don't we enjoy getting to come together don't we don't we you know the bible said don't forsake the assembling of yourselves there are many reasons why many reasons why but it is in environments like this where the anointing teaches not not just men and women but the anointing teaches you in in the environment of the anointing you just start to see things you start to understand things things start to come together and that's the ministry jesus talked about where the holy spirit would lead and guide you into all the truth he would bring everything to your remembrance that the lord has said to you he would even show you things to come so you begin to see things in your heart and in your mind and so it's already begun and it's happening tonight and it's happening in this meeting somebody say i'm seeing things i'm getting things i'm hearing things how what are you talking about we're hearing from the lord we're seeing what he's showing us we're we're getting what he's putting into us and um some of the greatest miracles happen in situations just like this but it's not obvious the bible talks about the incorruptible seed of the word of god oh what a what a phrase the incorruptible seed and in situations like this that seed is sown by the anointing and the holy spirit into the ready ground of your heart and you can be sitting right beside somebody and an eternal incorruptible seed word gets sown into them and it may not be obvious at the moment or the next day but that seed is going to germinate it's going to put roots down it's going to begin to flourish and produce upward and outward in the course of days months and years they'll be a different person a different person conformed to the image of christ they'll have a different life because it changes your trajectory it changes your direction hallelujah somebody say it's happening tonight it's it's happening in this meeting [Applause] it's happening in me [Music] hallelujah [Applause] father we worship you we worship you we thank you for hearing all the prayers that have already gone before we thank you for your presence and your spirit here thank you for receiving our praise and our worship thank you for receiving our offerings and lord we open up ourselves to receive from you this eternal incorruptible word seed hallelujah we give you the praise in jesus name amen i want you to say one thing before you before you seeded the only people that get results don't say this part but i'm working up to it the only people that get results are the doers of the work not meeting goers not program watchers not note takers i'm telling you the only people who get results it's possible to go to church for 30 years and not get results that's sad but it's possible tell me church who gets results come on who gets do works though not just the hearer only not the forgetful hearer but the person that remembers it and implements it somebody say i [Music] a doer of the word of god praise god okay you can be seated i'm a doer i get results hallelujah i'm a doer turn with me please to second timothy the second chapter second timothy the second chapter are you believing with me tonight for utterance thank you it's not all up to the minister you know that right it's uh utterance is affected by the hearer and i i desire that his will be done in this amen in second timothy the second chapter towards the end of the chapter this wasn't written in chapter and verse originally you know but towards the end of the chapter said verse 23 223 foolish and unlearned questions avoid [Music] knowing that they do gender strifes we live in a strife-filled world and it is all too easy to get caught up in it i said it's all too easy don't don't look at me like you never have it's all too easy to get caught embroiled in arguing huh strife and he said he's saying that avoid things that wind up there and one of them is dumb questions huh sometimes people say well i was just asking a question well maybe you shouldn't have d do you say it foolish and unless there are some questions you shouldn't ask amen that was worth coming to church right there right there and said the servant of the lord is that you how many servants of the lord do we have in it the servant of the lord must not strive but be gentle until all men apt to teach patient in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves we don't need to oppose them they're opposing their self they got enough problems without us being on their case we're to have and be governed by and led by a different spirit than the spirit of this world the spirit of this world we're going to see that very clearly in just a moment here but the spirit of this world it's pushy pushy prideful demanding argumentative you go you're gonna you're gonna see that spirit in the next few words here but how many understand you and i that are born again we're of a different spirit somebody say i'm i'm of a different spirit think about the fruit of the spirit and that's the holy spirit in your spirit love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness that's a different spirit somebody say different that's that's so different than all of the institutions of the world the ungodly is different from the ungodly business world it's different from the ungodly educational institutions it's different different from the the ungodly part of the entertainment all of that you're going to stand out as different amen if you yield to the spirit you're of you know one occasion jesus was going to a certain place and and the disciples saw that the folks didn't receive him he didn't didn't show him respect and they said lord you want us to call fire down you know like elijah did he said boys you don't know what spirit you're of amen i didn't come to destroy men's lives but to save them yeah they they had scriptural precedent but they didn't understand what spirit they are of now he said in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if god per adventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will that's our desire not judgment not destruction but repentance and salvation and restoration that's the spirit we're of and that's what we always want to see we realize men and women have a free will and they may they may not choose god but our first act and our first attempt to believe is that they will repent because we don't know who will and who won't we don't know hearts so we want to treat everybody like they could and like they will and then if they surprise us and won't well as long as there's breath there's hope we believe god to get them back to that place again right but we are not quick to call down the fire we don't seek judgment against human beings that are lost and without god when you when you realize the real situation i don't care how mean they have been how cruel how destructive they have been if they are lost man they're a breath away from hell it doesn't get any more serious than this and if they're really yielding to the enemy they're on a fast track to eternal destruction and our desire because we got the the compassionate one inside us our desire is that they would be saved come on help me church is this true or not i desire but it takes grace and it takes faith to think about someone like that when they're hurting you when they're causing you problems huh when they're putting substantial hindrances in your way and restrictions and causing you expense and effort and problem it's so easy to to get uh pulled into the strife that they're about it's so easy to get pulled into the flesh but the scripture said we don't wrestle i guess flesh and blood come on help me out we we don't somebody say we don't say it out loud i don't i don't wrestle against flesh and blood but you're gonna have to be more spiritual than most people are not to do that because it will pull on you and there are things that will make you mad oh don't look at me like oh no i'm i'm sanctified i don't [Laughter] you're not in church all the time i know i know you're not and and you've got flesh and i've got flesh and the more carnally you live and the more you let the flesh dominate you the quicker you're going to be to respond in the flesh and the flesh says you slapped me i'm going to slap you back the flesh said you hurt me i'm going to hurt you you knock me down i'm going to put you down but that's not god i said that's not god that's that's not the spirit we are of keep reading this flows into chapter 3 here just keep reading he said this know also know this he said in the last days perilous times shall come does all this flow together with what he just got through saying certainly certainly for men will be lovers of themselves now he mentions i mean boom boom boom boom he mentions 19 things in these next few verses and there's enough here for a three-week seminar but you said you're believing with me right so huh why would he tell us all of this why would he tell us all this men will be lovers of themselves you'll find multiple times in this list this this compound greek word uh filio and then something else which means you you are fond of or you love this are you you we we use the word today uh philharmonic has to do with the love or fondness of music uh there's all kind of words that are still around and in that in this writing if you saw it in the original it keeps going that same word love of love of fond of fond of multiple times it starts out with love of what love of yourself and really that is the the anchor of everything that follows and you'll find that we must be in some last days because you see all these things in the list and you hear so much about self-love that that's the biggest thing is is loving yourself and you gotta uh you know really love yourself and and and but that's not what the scripture says oh did i lose somebody huh let me just read the list men will be lovers of their own selves covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truce breakers false accusers incontinent fierce that that one's used as a positive thing today oh they're fierce despisers of those that are good traitors heady high-minded lovers of pleasure more than lovers of god see that's that same compound word that he started off with lover of self lover of pleasure lover of god and this whole passage is about what you love and what he's saying is in the last days there'll be all these folks that love all this other stuff except god except god you know our our dear elder brother billy graham who's gone home to be with the lord he made a statement before he went home that i thought was outstanding he said some have changed the gospel of the new testament to easy believism listen to that phrase easy believism and they are uh so concerned about possibly offending anybody accept god that's wisdom coming through an elder right there did you did you hear that concerned about offending anybody and everybody except displeasing god and he was talking about that you know the people preach a message that god's there to help you but he's nothing's required of you nothing except to just say i believe in god and come and you'll find that that has a lot of spillover in different christian groups and you'll find a lot of people perturbed because they feel like god hasn't done enough for them and they actually much of the teaching and preaching they've heard is that god is basically an important add-on to their life and that god is here to help you live your best life i'm pausing for a faith but that's not the bible i said that's not the bible the bible said that god has created all things and for his pleasure they are created oh come on somebody help me out here god doesn't exist to help you we exist to please him and and if we if we begin to realize our place in creation and what's really going on it will change you radically and you will realize you you got to get rid of any of this thinking that maybe god owes you something and maybe he owes you more you owe him your every breath you owe him your existence come on are y'all with me you owe him your service hallelujah he went on to he went through this whole list like i said these are some 18 things before you get to this last one did you hear the list lovers of their self covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truth-bakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers are those that are good traitors heady high-minded lovers of pleasure more than lovers of god having a form of godliness whoa huh these are church-going people huh no they got a form is that right that's right what's what's a form of godliness it's some form of religion that's right right these are not just heathen satan worshipers they got a form of godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away now i believe the lord gave me a phrase tonight before i got here i don't say that kind of thing lightly but how many would say your heart and your desire is not to be in this list huh to be a truly a genuine godly person amen right not just a former godliness but genuinely godly person who confesses and has the power of god and the lord gave me this this phrase about how to secure that and how to make that happen two things two things number one don't be conformed hallelujah don't conform i'll give you the second one here in just a moment go to romans 12 let's talk about this one a little bit don't be conformed don't be conformed romans 12 is talking about this romans 12 1 he said i beseech you brother therefore brethren by the mercies of god that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to god which is your reasonable service some say your your your worship and and isn't that what we were just talking about god doesn't exist to service us right we exist to bring service to him to serve him jesus is the ultimate example and don't you remember what he said he said i didn't come from heaven to do my own will but the will of him that sent me he said i do always those things that please him was he completely submitted to the father every day of his life even to the death on the cross well the servant's not not above his master if you say i'm a christian i'm a christian he's your example is that right and so every day we need to get up and go father i am and i mean at your service i am yours to command everything i am everything i have is under your hand i am yours i serve you gladly willingly nobody's making me and that will change your life instead of trying to get god to help you live your best life there's so much you in that right you trying to get god help you live your best life something wrong with that i said there's something wrong with that no no you hear your parents tell their children incorrectly their daughters their sons you know son daughter dear you're beautiful you're smart you're strong you can be anything you want to be when you grow up you anything you want to be what scripture is that what what verse is that that's that's not even true i said that's not true what do you mean brother keith i'm just trying to encourage my child well don't lie to them though if you're a christian if they're going to be a christian it's already been decided for them what they should be and what they should do it's not for them to decide it it's for them to discover it and commit themselves to it and follow you're not going to be blessed just doing anything and everything you decide to do you can do what you decide to do but it won't be blessed and you can achieve fame and success and lose it is quicker than you got it and wind up miserable and alone and i mean no the blessing of god is not on any and everything just decide to do there's a people say you know you just you're just narrow-minded and saved there's a broad way that leads to destruction it's wide anything goes and there's a lot of people but there's a straight and a narrow way and relatively few but in this straight and narrow is the full measure of the blessing of the lord and fullness of joy and fullness of peace and it's the only path you will be fulfilled on it's the only one that you lay down at night and you sleep like a baby and you're glad in the lord and you're happy because you know he's pleased with you that's the that's your best life i said that's your best life when you can sense that he's pleased with you oh when you sense that the lord is pleased with you the sky is bluer the grass is greener do you know what i mean i mean everything is just so much better because you don't just live in detroit or the u.s or europe where you live in this space and in this space you live in your heart and your mind so whatever's going on in there determines what kind of life you're having and only he can give you the peace that passes understanding and the joy which is your strength oh somebody say hallelujah he said don't be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of god there's a lot of churches and preachers and theologians that try to tell us that everything that's happening is the mysterious will of god if that were true this verse doesn't make sense why would i need to get my mind renewed so i can discern what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of god if everything that's happening is the will of god no it's not true what i need though is the right feeding and the right nourishing and the words of faith so that my thinking is right and i recognize right and i can distinguish between god and what's not god and what's right and what's not right i have been alarmed maybe is the word and watching a lot of the body of christ in the last few years and the lord keeps prompting me and i've talked to our folks about it and i'm sure your pastor is talking to you too we must not be gullible and naive what do you mean brother keith i've had people that should know better ministers that should know better all up in arms about this or that and they say well such and such is happening i said how do you know was so and so know somebody that told them it was for a fact come on have you been around long enough to know that so much stuff you hear even from supposed authorities is not correct it's simply not true it's not right and there's all this talk about data data data data data well data is only as good as the people collecting it it depends on your baseline it depends on the parameters of your study it depends on the suppositions you started with i mean and if people did it right or not and suffice it to say that when somebody tells you something you still don't know anything you know they told you something but if you weren't there huh you're not a climatologist you're not a virologist you're not of this or that and most of people are telling you they're not either [Applause] so they're believing something that somebody told somebody that told them that told them [Music] come on y'all with me or not you might thought brother keith you've digressed don't be conformed oh come on y'all listen or not don't don't just hear something and go well yeah well that's what you know all the experts agree now when you hear that you know somebody lied you know you know somebody lied because all the experts never agree in any area [Laughter] what do i do you already know what to do you actually have someone who lives inside you who actually does know who actually does know and is right about everything all the time with that exception he's called the greater one the greater one the greater one lives on the inside of me trust him i think sometimes well i know i've seen it sometimes church people have misunderstood they they they hear and they endeavor to practice faith trusting without understanding trusting without knowing all the parameters trusted yes trusting god that way you don't trust anybody else that way whatever the lord said to you in his word you believe it immediately you believe it without question you believe it completely whatever he tells you to do you act on it everybody else you better ask some questions you bet everybody even if they're good people they can be wrong [Applause] even paul who had visited heaven multiple times who had visions of the head of the church he says we know in part well it's the part you don't know that can be the gaping holes where you make wrong assumptions are we still talking about don't be conformed don't be con just because you hear some things just because a trend is happening even amongst christians do not just swallow everything you hear and see and a lot of situations you just need to say well i don't know about that what do you mean you don't know just what i said i don't know what do you mean uh i actually had there was a situation some years ago where the uh some people were making some investments and some things and it looked fine to me phyllis now we didn't have much but we thought well maybe we'll invest into this too and and i hadn't got much in prayer about it and the day that we're supposed to meet the people and give them some money and i said well let me i'm in the room at the hotel i got down on my knees i said lord what what about this are you having so much but he and he spoke to my heart he said son i've said nothing to you about these people you have no reason to trust them i've said nothing to you and people have kind of turned that around and said well the lord didn't tell me i couldn't do it he will let you do all kind of stupid stuff you you can absolutely destroy your life huh and i i realized so i that was that was enough for me i told phyllis she said well that's good enough for me and we still had a meeting and so uh in the meeting i started asking some questions and they got uncomfortable and then before it was over they decided well maybe it wasn't available to us after all and so we weren't going to jump in anyway and turns out it was the biggest scam and people lost money oh it was terrible but the lord spared us but that has stayed with me what he said i've said nothing to you about them do you remember when peter was up on the housetop in the trance and the people came down in the front remember what the holy ghost said i've sent them go with them nothing died well now you've got a word come on can you see that it's not just about trusting them you don't know them but the spirit of god told you something now you got something to stand on and i found out when it come i've had people get upset with me well why didn't i get involved in this meeting with them or in this project with them or that and and i try to stay as kind as i can you know listen i don't need a reason not to do something i need a leading to do it church are you all awake or not come on say it out loud i don't need a reason not to do something i need a leading to do it man there's 10 million things in life there's none of my business that i got no business being part of or being involved and the ones that i do need to be a part of the spirit of god is not going to be not going to let me miss out on the big things he will prompt me he will quicken me he will give me a witness he will help me and if i don't have anything about it i do not need to go jumping in i don't care who else is involved or who said it trust who you get inside and don't be conformed to stuff happening round about you trust what the holy spirit gives you trust in the lord with all your heart don't lean to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and what he shall direct your paths and if you're not getting something from him about it leave it alone just just leave it alone give it some time back off and if somebody's trying to pressure you and push you that's a bad sign because faith puts no pressure on people faith in god is looking to god not putting pressure on people i said faith puts no pressure on people because you're not dependent on them you're dependent on the lord go with me please over to the book of galatians and the sixth chapter are you all okay i want to go over this list kind of quickly that he mentioned there in second timothy 3 because the revelation is you don't want to be a churchgoer religious person and be doing any of these things well what what kind of things did he say lovers of their own self the next one was covetous and that actually is a similar word love of self that the greek is love of silver love of self love of money and the next well actually uh uh we can act on this as we go uh say it out loud i don't love myself more than god i don't love money period years ago the the lord helped me uh change my vocabulary to quit using the word love on everything you know people say i love uh my car i love my house i love pizza i love coconut cake i love that's too strong the word for things and money so i quit saying any of that i love god and i love people things i can enjoy them i can be thankful for them they need to be able to flow just as easy as they come and go right but i don't love them everybody said out loud i do not love money i don't love things he goes on to say proud proud blasphemers that's being slanderous and abusive speaking disobedient to parents that actually means unpersuadable it's not just letting your parents run your life the idea is you're not listening to elders you're not teachable unthankful means just what it says ungrateful unholy just what it says not holy without natural affection that means not having a love and it's that same word love of this love of that it's not loving your kin folks not loving kindred why because it's just natural to love your immediate family your kids your grandkids your parents and he said in the last days there are people don't even have that natural affection and love truth breakers that means you're untrue to your promise you break your word false accusers that's that's pretty obvious slanderers incontinent means having no control without self-control fierce means savage savage despisers of those who are good means hostile to virtuous ones hostile to virtue you know we need to rejoice if especially if a fellow believer is doing better than us yes i said we need to rejoice because if you don't you can judge yourself unworthy of going further if you if you're unhappy because a friend of yours gets a nicer house a car or whatever than you or gets it before you do then that proves you care more about that stuff than you do them so you got back to that other one too much love of money too much love of things and everybody likes to sit up in church and go oh no i don't care about that i don't care but they just spend most of their life trying to get some now money is a thing oh y'all are too quiet on that one you know you know money's a deal money's a thing and it's part of our being faithful and being good stewards with god is handling it the way he wants us to should should the lord be lord over all your life including your finances one pastor said he thought if people were honest when they got baptized when they went down they'd hold their wallet or their purse out because they're not they're not sanctifying that part they're going to run that part [Laughter] no you want the lord in all of your business you don't you traitors heady heady means reckless and headstrong we'd say today high-minded i like this one it says enveloped with smoke puffed up high-minded these are the folks who are a legend in their own mind and and literally head in not just the clouds but in the smoke but then he he sums it up by saying lovers of pleasures and again it's that compound word uh phileo of that lover or fond of pleasure more than love or fond of god and this is all of the things he's been saying that's what it boils down to all of us got flesh and we came in on that one all of us got flesh and your flesh and my flesh will do anything you let it do don't you think it won't your flesh didn't get saved that's right born again i should say it is saved it's part of redemption but it hasn't been changed yet the man on the inside got born again but the man on the outside just exactly like he was before you got born again which is why you've got to get a hold of it and control it and there is a pull on us for all these things to fight to fuss to battle to be proud to prove that we're right to correct other people to to get entangled in all the strife but you have to love something more than being right you have to love something more than getting your way amen you have to love something more to the point you're willing to sacrifice for it and that's not what you hear about in this whole world system you will hear about loving yourself you won't hear about making sacrifice sacrifice sacrificing what you want sacrificing putting yours off so that somebody else can get theirs now huh why would you do that because you love them more then you love that stuff and you have faith faith says i'll get mine go on get yours today i'll help you enjoy yours in the back of your mind you also know they make new ones every day and the new ones are improved somebody say i'll get mine but i don't love that see you love the people and so you're willing to like the scripture talks about esteeming other better than yourself doesn't he talk about that better than yourself go with me to galatians please galatians this is the second part of the phrase i believe the lord gave me for tonight anybody remember what the first one was don't be conformed don't be conformed will you have to be on your watch not to be conformed you will be you'll have to be on your watch you'll have to have made up your mind you know it's just not going to just swallow everything you're not just going to go with the crowd you you you learn to listen to the lord for yourself the second one is don't condemn don't be conformed and don't condemn now it's easy all these things that we just got through reading and i think many times we've done that we've read that list and we thought without natural affection traitors you know high-minded lovers of pleasure you know on and on you're thinking whoo some bad folks and then we just found out they go to church they got a form of godliness and here is one of the biggest church are y'all awake are you all the way one of the biggest things that i've learned that phyllis my wife and i have learned about how to keep from falling ourself y'all awake say these two things out loud what you must not do don't be conformed and what else don't condemn read this uh 6 1 if a man be overtaken in a fault you which are spiritual yes do what condemn huh tell them how disgusted you are huh and how you would never do it that's that's a sure way for you to fall what did jesus say don't judge why because not judging spares you from being judged i i'm just convinced most of the church does not understand this or either doesn't believe it what do you mean well for one thing people refuse to call it what do you mean well if you say well now you know don't judge what's usually the response you'll hear right after that oh i wouldn't i wasn't judging i wouldn't i wasn't judging well when when does it ever happen this judging thing is mysterious it's like it's obviously a big issue jesus talked a lot about it the word talks a lot about it but it seems like maybe it was done away with a long time ago and churches people just because because i mean nine times out of ten people gonna say oh i wasn't judging what were you doing what are we calling i would just i'm just saying [Applause] that's not a complete sentence you're saying what well i i just don't think it's right that's judging i said that's judging you have judged that they are wrong and they did wrong and somebody said well what if they did you're not their judge what if it's obvious they broke 12 scriptures doing it what if it's obvious it may be obvious that what they did is wrong but judging them would require you knowing their heart would require you knowing why they did what they did and how they got to that point and sin is not just a standard listen to james to him that knows to do good and does it not tell me the next two words to him it's sin what do you mean i mean sin is sin uh-uh sin is violation of light why would you say to him it sin because he knew he knew sin is violation of light and one of the reasons we are commanded not to sin one of the biggest is to spare yourself from getting judged but another big reason why is because we are woefully unqualified to judge how in the world do we know what they knew and what they didn't know and what they understood and you don't know their background you don't know their mindset you don't know how everything that happened and sometimes people they ratchet it up and go i've never even been tempted well that's nothing to brag about what do you mean brother you didn't overcome anything in that area and it's likely because you were so weak that the lord didn't even allow you to be tempted in that area [Laughter] oh [Laughter] somebody needs a scripture on that okay first corinthians i got you one right here first corinthians 10 hold your place in galatia first corinthians 10 13. this all goes together do you know what i'm talking about people brag about oh i'd never i'd never well why did galatians say consider yourself lest you be tempted that's not even relevant if you could never maybe you have never yet but life ain't over and oh man first corinthians 10 13. there has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man but god is faithful and other times we holler about that but read the rest of the verse he's faithful to do what very specific thing he's talking about here god is faithful he will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you're able he won't allow you there's no such thing as a situation where the enemy came in and just overwhelmed somebody with temptation and they they couldn't have resisted it it was just too much the lord won't allow that he won't allow it any time and every time there's some kind of situation he will also make a way of escape there's a way out of it there's a way victorious out of it and so if you if you say well i've never been tempted like i said it could be because the lord knows you couldn't handle that i mean in the beginning of temptation you just go paul and no fat you know no no even resistance and and so he he's merciful to you but a good thing you need to know i used to do some sport fighting back when i was younger a long time ago and and so anytime you get in the ring with somebody you uh you're sizing them up you know can i take them can i take them and sometimes you're right and sometimes you're not right but i like i think this way because of that that background if anything gets in the ring with me in life i know i can beat it because of this verse is that right it wouldn't be in the ring with me if i couldn't overcome it with the greater one helping me come on can you see that it wouldn't it wouldn't be in the ring if it's in the ring i know i can win i know i know all i got to do is stay with him you don't want to be saying bragging about i've never been tempted you are you're saying is i have no experience in this area which which the next question is why are you talking [Applause] [Laughter] you hadn't been through it you hadn't overcome it you hadn't done anything with it this includes physical attacks sickness come on are y'all with me you know you'll see sometimes people in our circles word in faith circles that somebody gets attacked with something and they're like oh you know just uh just just kick the devil out of there and and and don't let him put that on you and when did you overcome it when and you will see the people are the most vocal like that any little thing get on them they're like no i'm a faith person this is not supposed to be happening to me no honey child we're just now finding out how much faith you got never having to deal with it you never haven't overcome anything galatians 6 go back there let's finish that if somebody is overtaken in a fault now this includes this entire list that we are talking about well i tell you what you need another verse before we get there go to romans the second chapter romans chapter 2. romans 2 1 he says you're inexcusable o man whoever you are that does what that judges why what's inexcusable about it for wherein you judge another you condemn yourself why because when you judge you do the same things friend of mine back when i was teaching at rhema he was in one of my lab classes to speak and he came out of a traditional church and a lot of folks smoked in his group and church and he got delivered from smoking and so uh they asked him to speak he's just a young preacher they asked him to speak and and he he took the sunday pulpit man he laid it on him he said he said sin is sin and smoking's a sin and man you know one sin send you to hell just as quick as the other will all that's wrong it's not this is not right and the deacons they were sitting out front they all smoked and he just he just let him have it i said what did they do with you they said well the brother has brought the message that he had on his heart and they were kind to him i said wow that's spiritual people right on the other side of it but you'll find sometimes people that are young and get delivered then they think they are the holy ghost police huh and they're going to pull you over and they're gonna tell you that's one of the surest ways to relapse is everybody listening that's one of the surest ways to lose your deliverance and relapse is to judge other people because what you need to get free and stay free is grace and god doesn't give his grace to the proud and the judgmental he gives his grace to the humble and the humble will acknowledge the truth what did he what does he mean here the one that judges does the same things that's what i was getting to he was smoking four days ago but now because he's been delivered he can sit in judgment on his elders oh [Music] this is how you fall and fall again and fall hard you want to in order to judge you have to be a hypocrite no exceptions in order to judge you have to be a hypocrite are you there in galatians what did he say if somebody falls what should happen you which are spiritual you can tell who's spiritual by this do what not condemn not judge not blame do what restore everybody say restore restore do you want to see people judged that's too weak guys that's too weak do you want to see people judged no you don't you don't even the meanest people on the planet you don't want to see them judged you hadn't been to hell i hadn't been to hell i heard somebody the other day you know bragging about that they weren't afraid uh of going to hell when they died because it didn't exist man i cringed i it hurt my heart because i thought what a full thing to say yes cause man you know brother hagin senior who's in heaven now the lord let him experience going to hell and have you ever heard him tell that i'm telling you i mean it's it's awful beyond description and beyond words we don't want anybody being judged in this life especially not the next somebody say restore restore restore that's that's our heart we know not everybody will they got a choice of their own but if it was up to god and if it was up to us they'd be restored everybody lift a hand and say i vote restore you know like the uh the ancient leader in the wrong the rome did with the games you know finger up or finger down you know we all we all go yeah let him live right let him live restore and you want to remember it's so easy to forget i see parents do this with their kids they get so indignant and so shocked that their child did something that was only half as bad as what they did come are you with me or not 40 years ago that's being a hypocrite and even if your child doesn't know all the details something in them tells them that something's wrong about that you coming down on them like a ton of bricks like you never missed it before it's because yeah but that was before i got saved yeah but you still did it don't act like you didn't do it you act like it doesn't exist yeah but i got forgiven and cleansed they can get forgiven and cleansed too saved they're not saved they care this is the same thing even if you did it 50 years ago don't act like you don't know no you don't want to live in that you don't want to rehash that you don't but don't be a hypocrite don't act like you've never done that or you don't know anything about that you you want to act like somebody that has been shown mercy and you want to show that same mercy is that right that you have been shown to other people in the last days evil people the bible said will get worse and worse and we're seeing some of it there are some things people are saying and doing publicly and boldly on tv and everything else you wouldn't have heard 50 years ago i mean it no so things have not gone the right way but if you and i don't want to fall tell me two things we've got to do come on help me out don't be conformed but this other one's just as important right do not put your hand on your hip and look down your holier than thou nose put your bony finger towards somebody many times church are y'all awake come on help me if y'all away many times whether it's a family member or a stranger co-worker whoever they do not need to hear a sermonette they don't need to hear 12 scriptures come on y'all listening they need compassion and mercy they they need you to look at them and go i've been there don't act holier than that i've been there i've made mistakes even if it was 70 years ago right i i made mistakes too but let me tell you you know god helped me he forgave me he'll help you too is that right but there are too many situations where people think they think we can't relate to them i think i can't you know people that might might maybe should have stopped and come into church tonight but they think man i'm too i'm too nasty i'm too defiled i can't go in there with those holy christians well the spirit of god talks about paul he mentions this list of some of the most vile stuff you've ever heard he says such were some of you such were some of you but you've been sanctified you've been you've been washed by the blood you've been redeemed but we must never forget where he brought us from we must never act hypocritical like we don't know you know i know where god brought us from we don't live in that but when we see somebody in some of the same kind of stuff we should immediately remember i i'm you know i'm not going to say what you're doing is right but i'm not judging you right i want to see you restored how can i help now you don't get embroiled in the sin with them you don't let them pull you in that's not being conformed right that's back to the first one don't be conformed but at the same time if they have any interest in getting out they need to know i'm not judging you i've made too many mistakes of my own stand on your feet everybody lift up your hands let's pray in the spirit for a bit god's doing some things in hearts and minds okay looks stychy
