Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Did God Say That? (Part 2) | October 22, 2025
- Maybe god is telling you to start a business.
- 00:00:03.068 --> 00:00:05.403
- That's something you've never dreamed of doing before.
- 00:00:05.403 --> 00:00:07.639
- You've never been in management, but god is choosing you.
- 00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.341
- He has confirmed it.
- 00:00:10.341 --> 00:00:11.709
- You have heard it by the holy spirit.
- 00:00:11.709 --> 00:00:13.411
- Now it's time to move by faith. and you had that.
- 00:00:13.411 --> 00:00:16.147
- Maybe that one sunday when you came down to the altar.
- 00:00:16.147 --> 00:00:19.784
- God confirmed it and you surrendered it over to him.
- 00:00:19.784 --> 00:00:23.788
- You're ready to move by faith.
- 00:00:23.788 --> 00:00:27.392
- Any of you have a friend that you talk to almost every day
- 00:00:27.392 --> 00:00:31.463
- Like they can walk into this room,
- 00:00:31.463 --> 00:00:33.298
- And as soon as they start
- 00:00:33.298 --> 00:00:34.365
- Talking, you already know they're here.
- 00:00:34.365 --> 00:00:36.534
- You don't have to see them.
- 00:00:36.534 --> 00:00:38.069
- You don't have to feel their presence.
- 00:00:38.069 --> 00:00:39.370
- As soon as you hear that voice,
- 00:00:39.370 --> 00:00:41.272
- Either you're saying, oh, god, my friends here,
- 00:00:41.272 --> 00:00:42.907
- Or you're saying, oh, no, my friends are here like i'm on.
- 00:00:42.907 --> 00:00:45.110
- I don't have time for this.
- 00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:46.144
- I can't talk all day like i know that they're here.
- 00:00:46.144 --> 00:00:48.413
- Listen.
- 00:00:48.413 --> 00:00:49.481
- God is trying to communicate like that with you,
- 00:00:49.481 --> 00:00:52.917
- Okay?
- 00:00:53.151 --> 00:00:54.352
- Paul is saying, i know
- 00:00:54.352 --> 00:00:57.055
- The voice of jesus.
- 00:00:57.055 --> 00:01:00.058
- I know his voice.
- 00:01:00.058 --> 00:01:01.693
- I know that you guys don't understand.
- 00:01:01.693 --> 00:01:04.462
- And you're trying to protect me.
- 00:01:04.462 --> 00:01:06.030
- You're trying to help me.
- 00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:07.265
- But i am so close with him.
- 00:01:07.265 --> 00:01:09.100
- I know when he is speaking into my life.
- 00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:13.438
- I know, because let me also say like this.
- 00:01:13.438 --> 00:01:16.241
- If god stopped speaking, then why would we pray?
- 00:01:16.241 --> 00:01:20.678
- If he stopped speaking to you,
- 00:01:21.279 --> 00:01:22.947
- Why would we even need to pray?
- 00:01:22.947 --> 00:01:26.184
- David said this in psalms chapter 86, verse seven.
- 00:01:26.184 --> 00:01:29.420
- David said, i'll call to you whenever
- 00:01:30.221 --> 00:01:33.124
- I'm in trouble,
- 00:01:33.124 --> 00:01:35.260
- And you answer me.
- 00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:38.229
- Look at the words.
- 00:01:38.229 --> 00:01:40.431
- All the youth in the room right now.
- 00:01:40.431 --> 00:01:41.599
- Look at the words right there.
- 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.735
- Whenever you're in trouble.
- 00:01:43.735 --> 00:01:46.104
- Trying to do the right thing.
- 00:01:46.104 --> 00:01:47.539
- Whenever you feel alone.
- 00:01:48.072 --> 00:01:50.441
- Whenever you feel like everything's out of control.
- 00:01:50.441 --> 00:01:52.443
- All you have to do is pray.
- 00:01:52.443 --> 00:01:54.579
- The lord will answer you.
- 00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:57.582
- He is always there for you.
- 00:01:57.582 --> 00:01:59.517
- He will never abandon you.
- 00:01:59.517 --> 00:02:00.518
- He would never leave you.
- 00:02:00.518 --> 00:02:01.319
- And this is for everybody here.
- 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.255
- Are you praying?
- 00:02:04.255 --> 00:02:06.758
- Are you spending time with the lord?
- 00:02:06.758 --> 00:02:09.294
- I think some of us right now are saying, hi, pastor.
- 00:02:09.294 --> 00:02:11.529
- See, i didn't doubt that.
- 00:02:11.529 --> 00:02:14.632
- I didn't doubt that the lord speaks today.
- 00:02:14.632 --> 00:02:16.568
- I know that he speaks today.
- 00:02:16.568 --> 00:02:17.869
- The problem is, i don't know if he's speaking clearly to me
- 00:02:17.869 --> 00:02:21.206
- Because i want to be as clear as paul was with the lord.
- 00:02:21.206 --> 00:02:24.809
- I want to have that type of clarity,
- 00:02:24.809 --> 00:02:26.010
- Because there are a lot of loud voices around me
- 00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:29.347
- Telling me,
- 00:02:29.681 --> 00:02:30.582
- And they love me,
- 00:02:30.582 --> 00:02:31.349
- But they're telling me to turn around
- 00:02:31.349 --> 00:02:33.151
- Or to stay still, and i just don't know who to listen to.
- 00:02:33.151 --> 00:02:36.221
- The voices around me or loud.
- 00:02:36.221 --> 00:02:38.756
- By the way, those voices never leave,
- 00:02:38.756 --> 00:02:41.926
- Okay?
- 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.361
- Those voices will never leave.
- 00:02:43.361 --> 00:02:44.629
- There will be people that never understand.
- 00:02:44.629 --> 00:02:46.497
- And sometimes the loudest voices are your own.
- 00:02:46.497 --> 00:02:48.900
- Voice is your own voice in your own head.
- 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.869
- Telling you i don't know about this, i don't know.
- 00:02:51.869 --> 00:02:53.838
- I don't know if this is going to work.
- 00:02:53.838 --> 00:02:54.739
- I don't know if it's going to be okay.
- 00:02:54.739 --> 00:02:55.873
- How can we be certain, like paul again?
- 00:02:55.873 --> 00:02:59.110
- Here's a simple yet profound answer right here.
- 00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:02.080
- Filter out your feelings
- 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.749
- By checking god's word.
- 00:03:04.749 --> 00:03:07.185
- Let me make it very clear today.
- 00:03:07.185 --> 00:03:08.453
- All right. god has put this heavy on my heart.
- 00:03:08.453 --> 00:03:10.255
- If it did not come from god's word,
- 00:03:10.255 --> 00:03:13.891
- If it doesn't line up with the word of the lord.
- 00:03:13.891 --> 00:03:17.095
- Okay?
- 00:03:17.095 --> 00:03:17.962
- It did not come from the holy spirit.
- 00:03:17.962 --> 00:03:21.199
- It came from something demonic.
- 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.468
- It came from confusion.
- 00:03:23.468 --> 00:03:25.303
- It came from flesh.
- 00:03:25.303 --> 00:03:26.738
- It came from people's personal agendas.
- 00:03:26.738 --> 00:03:29.674
- But if it goes against the word of the lord, please listen.
- 00:03:29.674 --> 00:03:33.411
- It did not come from god.
- 00:03:33.411 --> 00:03:35.847
- It did not come from the holy spirit.
- 00:03:35.847 --> 00:03:38.149
- For the longest time, i used to think.
- 00:03:38.916 --> 00:03:40.618
- This is a simple concept.
- 00:03:40.618 --> 00:03:43.021
- And it is biblically.
- 00:03:43.021 --> 00:03:44.289
- Yes, it is that you should align
- 00:03:44.289 --> 00:03:45.790
- Everything in your life with the word of god.
- 00:03:45.790 --> 00:03:47.925
- But i have seen as a pastor over the years,
- 00:03:47.925 --> 00:03:50.428
- People becoming easily deceived,
- 00:03:50.428 --> 00:03:53.631
- Easily deceived by lies,
- 00:03:54.165 --> 00:03:56.434
- By confusion, by what other people have said.
- 00:03:56.434 --> 00:03:59.704
- That it misled them to turn from the word of god,
- 00:03:59.704 --> 00:04:03.508
- All because of the way that they feel,
- 00:04:03.508 --> 00:04:07.445
- Because feelings have led them.
- 00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:10.748
- And so i started praying to the lord god,
- 00:04:10.748 --> 00:04:12.317
- Why is it that i'm seeing people fall for these things?
- 00:04:12.317 --> 00:04:14.485
- Why is it that i'm seeing so many people
- 00:04:14.485 --> 00:04:16.387
- Walk away from your scripture?
- 00:04:16.387 --> 00:04:17.622
- Here it is.
- 00:04:17.622 --> 00:04:18.222
- God revealed this to me
- 00:04:18.222 --> 00:04:19.190
- Because my people are not reading the bible.
- 00:04:19.190 --> 00:04:23.194
- Let's get down to it.
- 00:04:23.695 --> 00:04:24.896
- We're not reading the word of god.
- 00:04:24.896 --> 00:04:26.698
- We're not reading the bible.
- 00:04:26.698 --> 00:04:28.099
- And what does satan do?
- 00:04:28.099 --> 00:04:29.167
- Satan will come to you.
- 00:04:29.167 --> 00:04:30.401
- That one verse sounds good.
- 00:04:30.401 --> 00:04:32.670
- Seems like it's going to help your situation.
- 00:04:32.670 --> 00:04:34.339
- And what does he do with the verse?
- 00:04:34.339 --> 00:04:35.373
- He twist it, he twist it.
- 00:04:35.373 --> 00:04:37.542
- He brings something else out there
- 00:04:37.542 --> 00:04:39.043
- To get you to go the opposite direction.
- 00:04:39.043 --> 00:04:41.946
- Satan twists the verse of god.
- 00:04:41.946 --> 00:04:44.549
- The words of the lord and all.
- 00:04:44.549 --> 00:04:47.552
- We got to be in the word of god.
- 00:04:47.552 --> 00:04:50.288
- I'm telling you right now, this has been so heavy.
- 00:04:50.288 --> 00:04:52.090
- We're not reading enough.
- 00:04:52.090 --> 00:04:55.159
- This is how you fight.
- 00:04:55.159 --> 00:04:57.862
- We are praying over this church.
- 00:04:57.862 --> 00:05:00.064
- We are praying over you.
- 00:05:00.064 --> 00:05:02.033
- I'm praying for those who have completely gone astray
- 00:05:02.033 --> 00:05:05.370
- Because they're not in the word of god.
- 00:05:06.170 --> 00:05:08.439
- Remember
- 00:05:08.706 --> 00:05:09.941
- We talked about it last week, the temptation of jesus.
- 00:05:09.941 --> 00:05:13.444
- Satan took scripture and he twisted it.
- 00:05:13.444 --> 00:05:15.513
- I want to show you something here.
- 00:05:15.513 --> 00:05:17.014
- Matthew chapter four, verse six.
- 00:05:17.014 --> 00:05:19.083
- Satan said to jesus, if you are the son of god, jump off.
- 00:05:19.083 --> 00:05:23.855
- For the scripture say, he will order his angels to protect you,
- 00:05:23.855 --> 00:05:28.693
- And they will hold you up with their hands
- 00:05:28.693 --> 00:05:30.862
- So that you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
- 00:05:30.862 --> 00:05:34.031
- All right.
- 00:05:34.332 --> 00:05:35.466
- What satan is implying is this is the pride of life.
- 00:05:35.466 --> 00:05:37.802
- Live however you want to live.
- 00:05:37.802 --> 00:05:39.370
- God is obligated to save you and rescue you.
- 00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:41.806
- No, he isn't.
- 00:05:41.806 --> 00:05:44.075
- Why would he protect a life that you haven't
- 00:05:44.075 --> 00:05:45.743
- Surrendered over to him?
- 00:05:45.743 --> 00:05:47.478
- You're living for the world. god's like. alright.
- 00:05:47.478 --> 00:05:48.980
- You want to live for the world?
- 00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:49.781
- I'll hand you over to the world.
- 00:05:49.781 --> 00:05:51.215
- But my arms are wide open
- 00:05:51.215 --> 00:05:52.483
- When you want to come back and get your life right.
- 00:05:52.483 --> 00:05:54.952
- But listen.
- 00:05:54.952 --> 00:05:56.020
- When you live for the world, bad things may happen.
- 00:05:56.020 --> 00:05:58.423
- Destruction will come your way at times.
- 00:05:58.423 --> 00:06:00.691
- Okay? but look at what satan did.
- 00:06:00.691 --> 00:06:02.860
- He said, i, son of god, prove it.
- 00:06:03.594 --> 00:06:06.697
- Jump off.
- 00:06:06.697 --> 00:06:07.865
- Try to hurt yourself. here's a scripture.
- 00:06:07.865 --> 00:06:10.134
- You know what i love about jesus, okay?
- 00:06:10.134 --> 00:06:11.502
- He is the word.
- 00:06:11.502 --> 00:06:14.205
- Satan left that apart
- 00:06:14.205 --> 00:06:16.541
- In this sentence.
- 00:06:16.541 --> 00:06:17.575
- I don't know if you've ever heard that before.
- 00:06:17.575 --> 00:06:19.110
- You wanna look at the real scripture that he quoted.
- 00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:21.546
- It's out psalm chapter 19 one, verse 11 and 12
- 00:06:21.546 --> 00:06:25.349
- For he ordered his angels to protect you.
- 00:06:25.349 --> 00:06:27.084
- Here it is, wherever you go.
- 00:06:27.084 --> 00:06:30.521
- Don't miss that.
- 00:06:30.922 --> 00:06:31.856
- Satan left out that part on purpose,
- 00:06:31.856 --> 00:06:35.626
- Because what it meant is this as you walk in obedience
- 00:06:35.626 --> 00:06:40.531
- To god, as god, the holy spirit leads you,
- 00:06:40.531 --> 00:06:44.869
- Then he will protect you and you won't be able
- 00:06:44.869 --> 00:06:47.972
- To hurt your foot against the stone.
- 00:06:47.972 --> 00:06:49.640
- Satan twisted it and said, live!
- 00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:51.275
- However you want, then you won't be hurt.
- 00:06:51.275 --> 00:06:54.745
- He left out a part of the verse.
- 00:06:54.745 --> 00:06:58.483
- And i'm telling you, so many of us today
- 00:06:58.483 --> 00:07:00.384
- We're hearing one verse.
- 00:07:00.384 --> 00:07:02.887
- One verse.
- 00:07:03.187 --> 00:07:03.754
- That sounds good.
- 00:07:03.754 --> 00:07:04.822
- I don't care if it's your favorite tiktok page.
- 00:07:04.822 --> 00:07:08.159
- I don't care if it's your favorite youtuber.
- 00:07:08.159 --> 00:07:10.061
- I don't care if it's your favorite pastor.
- 00:07:10.061 --> 00:07:11.796
- I don't care if it's your favorite teacher,
- 00:07:11.796 --> 00:07:13.231
- Your favorite bible study.
- 00:07:13.231 --> 00:07:14.532
- If what they are teaching and preaching goes
- 00:07:14.532 --> 00:07:16.634
- Against the word of god, they do not come from the holy spirit.
- 00:07:16.634 --> 00:07:20.238
- It didn't come from the holy spirit.
- 00:07:21.038 --> 00:07:22.840
- It came to confuse you, to entice you, and to drag you away
- 00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:26.878
- From the truth of god's word that will actually set you free.
- 00:07:26.878 --> 00:07:31.716
- I just committed and we got to read our bibles.
- 00:07:32.650 --> 00:07:35.720
- Let me encourage you today.
- 00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:37.421
- Make a plan.
- 00:07:37.421 --> 00:07:39.323
- Go home.
- 00:07:39.323 --> 00:07:39.957
- Families go home.
- 00:07:39.957 --> 00:07:42.026
- Pray over your families.
- 00:07:42.026 --> 00:07:43.327
- Talk to your children. make a plan.
- 00:07:43.327 --> 00:07:45.730
- How can we all be in our bibles
- 00:07:46.364 --> 00:07:49.433
- Individually in the presence of god every day?
- 00:07:49.433 --> 00:07:52.570
- How can we hear from the lord?
- 00:07:53.170 --> 00:07:55.806
- Because i'm telling you, i've witnessed
- 00:07:55.806 --> 00:07:56.874
- So many people who convinced,
- 00:07:56.874 --> 00:07:59.110
- Who are convinced that they heard from god
- 00:07:59.110 --> 00:08:00.378
- Just because they got the chills
- 00:08:00.378 --> 00:08:02.480
- And the feelings, but they've been misled.
- 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.282
- Listen, a lot of times
- 00:08:04.282 --> 00:08:05.449
- People are misled because of past trauma,
- 00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:08.352
- Past trauma, church hurt are things that have happened.
- 00:08:08.352 --> 00:08:11.756
- They're looking for this answer.
- 00:08:11.756 --> 00:08:12.924
- As soon as somebody says that, that's what they go towards.
- 00:08:12.924 --> 00:08:16.761
- And there's all kinds of lies that i'm hearing right now.
- 00:08:16.761 --> 00:08:18.829
- And i got to make it clear.
- 00:08:18.829 --> 00:08:20.231
- One of the lies that says there is no hell,
- 00:08:20.231 --> 00:08:23.534
- That is a lie straight from hell.
- 00:08:23.534 --> 00:08:25.603
- People say there is no hell.
- 00:08:25.603 --> 00:08:27.071
- No, no, no, jesus was just talking
- 00:08:27.071 --> 00:08:28.506
- About a physical location.
- 00:08:28.506 --> 00:08:29.974
- It was a garbage dump
- 00:08:29.974 --> 00:08:31.409
- Where people burn things outside of the nation of israel,
- 00:08:31.409 --> 00:08:34.645
- And they saw this place of jesus just using it as a metaphor.
- 00:08:34.645 --> 00:08:38.049
- Right?
- 00:08:38.049 --> 00:08:39.050
- They used to do child sacrifices in this place
- 00:08:39.050 --> 00:08:40.918
- Long before that.
- 00:08:40.918 --> 00:08:42.153
- So jesus is just talking about this place, a physical location.
- 00:08:42.153 --> 00:08:45.122
- All right.
- 00:08:45.122 --> 00:08:46.023
- And then there's some people that say,
- 00:08:46.023 --> 00:08:47.191
- Why would a good god, a loving god, send people to hell?
- 00:08:47.191 --> 00:08:50.361
- God's not sending you to hell.
- 00:08:50.962 --> 00:08:53.364
- He came to rescue you from hell.
- 00:08:53.364 --> 00:08:55.933
- Jesus came to say you free so that you do not go to hell.
- 00:08:55.933 --> 00:08:59.770
- Hell was created for the demons and for satan,
- 00:08:59.770 --> 00:09:03.541
- For the antichrist
- 00:09:03.541 --> 00:09:04.709
- And those that follow the world and reject jesus christ.
- 00:09:04.709 --> 00:09:08.279
- He's giving you a way out.
- 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.781
- We send ourselves to hell,
- 00:09:10.781 --> 00:09:13.150
- But wait for the people trying to say that there is no hell.
- 00:09:13.150 --> 00:09:15.119
- Listen, jesus had a lot to say about hell.
- 00:09:15.119 --> 00:09:17.822
- You know that. it's out of the bible.
- 00:09:17.822 --> 00:09:19.690
- Matthew ten, verse 28.
- 00:09:19.690 --> 00:09:21.592
- Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body.
- 00:09:21.592 --> 00:09:24.128
- They cannot touch your soul.
- 00:09:24.128 --> 00:09:25.463
- If you're only god who can destroy both the soul
- 00:09:25.463 --> 00:09:28.733
- And the body in hell.
- 00:09:28.733 --> 00:09:31.502
- Mark chapter nine, verse 43.
- 00:09:31.502 --> 00:09:33.371
- If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
- 00:09:33.371 --> 00:09:36.741
- It is better to enter eternal life with only one hand
- 00:09:36.741 --> 00:09:42.313
- Than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell.
- 00:09:42.313 --> 00:09:45.349
- Underline that right there.
- 00:09:45.349 --> 00:09:46.984
- This is not a physical location.
- 00:09:46.984 --> 00:09:49.020
- This is something spiritual for eternity.
- 00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:51.355
- Unquenchable fires of hell with two hands.
- 00:09:51.355 --> 00:09:55.793
- Listen to verse 48, where the maggots never die
- 00:09:55.793 --> 00:10:00.531
- And the fire never goes out.
- 00:10:00.531 --> 00:10:04.135
- Two revelations here.
- 00:10:04.635 --> 00:10:05.903
- This is eternal. and somehow bugs don't die.
- 00:10:05.903 --> 00:10:08.673
- I don't know, like even maggots are in hell.
- 00:10:08.673 --> 00:10:11.509
- You know,
- 00:10:11.509 --> 00:10:12.777
- Look at this.
- 00:10:13.144 --> 00:10:14.111
- I bet cockroaches are there too, for sure.
- 00:10:14.111 --> 00:10:15.579
- I and my wife said amen to that.
- 00:10:15.579 --> 00:10:18.049
- All right. revelation
- 00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:20.484
- Also confirms revelation chapter 20, verse ten.
- 00:10:20.484 --> 00:10:24.055
- Then the devil who had deceived him was thrown into the fiery
- 00:10:24.055 --> 00:10:28.292
- Lake of burning sulfur,
- 00:10:28.292 --> 00:10:30.461
- Joining the beast and the false prophet.
- 00:10:30.461 --> 00:10:32.697
- They will.
- 00:10:32.697 --> 00:10:33.931
- They will be there tormented day and night for a little time.
- 00:10:33.931 --> 00:10:37.768
- Forever and ever.
- 00:10:38.202 --> 00:10:40.404
- It doesn't stop.
- 00:10:40.404 --> 00:10:41.972
- But listen to this. verse 15.
- 00:10:41.972 --> 00:10:44.642
- And if anyone whose name was not found
- 00:10:44.642 --> 00:10:46.177
- Recorded in the book of life,
- 00:10:46.177 --> 00:10:47.278
- They were also thrown into the lake of fire.
- 00:10:47.278 --> 00:10:50.948
- Jesus had a lot to say about hell.
- 00:10:51.682 --> 00:10:54.752
- But the reason
- 00:10:55.086 --> 00:10:56.187
- Sometimes people are misled is because they don't
- 00:10:56.187 --> 00:10:58.255
- Want to believe in something like this.
- 00:10:58.255 --> 00:11:00.491
- And so what you're going to hear a lot is this. open your mind.
- 00:11:00.491 --> 00:11:03.527
- Open your mind.
- 00:11:03.894 --> 00:11:05.062
- Hear me out. no no no, no, i'm not gonna open my mind.
- 00:11:05.062 --> 00:11:06.664
- I'm gonna open up the bible.
- 00:11:06.664 --> 00:11:08.899
- I'm gonna listen to the lord.
- 00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:09.834
- I don't need demonic confusion in my life.
- 00:11:09.834 --> 00:11:12.303
- Trying to leave me a straight from god's word.
- 00:11:12.303 --> 00:11:14.238
- There are people who've been saying, you don't need jesus.
- 00:11:14.238 --> 00:11:16.040
- Let me make it very clear today. you need jesus.
- 00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:18.909
- You can't get to heaven.
- 00:11:18.909 --> 00:11:20.044
- You cannot be saved.
- 00:11:20.044 --> 00:11:21.312
- You can't save yourself.
- 00:11:21.312 --> 00:11:22.379
- You need jesus christ.
- 00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:24.482
- Romans 323 and 24 every everyone has sinned,
- 00:11:24.482 --> 00:11:29.386
- But we all fall short of god's glorious standard.
- 00:11:29.386 --> 00:11:32.723
- Yet god, in his grace
- 00:11:32.723 --> 00:11:34.158
- Freely, freely makes us right in his sight.
- 00:11:34.158 --> 00:11:36.727
- He did this through christ jesus.
- 00:11:36.727 --> 00:11:38.596
- You can't do it on your own. you can't be good enough.
- 00:11:38.596 --> 00:11:41.532
- You only received this because of jesus christ, because
- 00:11:41.532 --> 00:11:44.769
- He's the one that freed us from the penalty of our sins.
- 00:11:44.769 --> 00:11:49.774
- That's what the
- 00:11:50.141 --> 00:11:50.708
- Bible clearly states.
- 00:11:50.708 --> 00:11:53.711
- But feelings complicate the truth.
- 00:11:53.711 --> 00:11:56.881
- Feelings will make things confusing.
- 00:11:57.681 --> 00:11:59.150
- People don't like that.
- 00:11:59.150 --> 00:11:59.984
- There's only one way to heaven.
- 00:11:59.984 --> 00:12:02.119
- People don't like that they will be held
- 00:12:02.119 --> 00:12:03.621
- Accountable of their sins. people don't like that.
- 00:12:03.621 --> 00:12:05.923
- There's certain relationships you can't be in.
- 00:12:05.923 --> 00:12:08.125
- People don't like to be told what not to do.
- 00:12:08.125 --> 00:12:10.060
- Let's be honest.
- 00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:11.495
- That's what it is.
- 00:12:11.495 --> 00:12:13.497
- Nobody likes to be told what you can't do.
- 00:12:13.497 --> 00:12:15.599
- But thank you, jesus.
- 00:12:15.599 --> 00:12:18.402
- I would rather god tell me every day.
- 00:12:18.402 --> 00:12:19.804
- But i can't do and save me.
- 00:12:19.804 --> 00:12:22.940
- The me
- 00:12:23.140 --> 00:12:24.341
- Being led into destruction, doing whatever i wanted to do.
- 00:12:24.341 --> 00:12:28.245
- I just wanna make it clear.
- 00:12:28.846 --> 00:12:29.747
- I got to be in the word.
- 00:12:29.747 --> 00:12:32.983
- Protect your family.
- 00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:35.586
- Protect your children.
- 00:12:35.586 --> 00:12:36.387
- There's a lot of lies out there.
- 00:12:36.387 --> 00:12:37.588
- Satan is clever.
- 00:12:37.588 --> 00:12:38.956
- One third of the angels fell from heaven.
- 00:12:38.956 --> 00:12:42.693
- This is not a game.
- 00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:45.129
- You can't skip around and think this is going to be easy.
- 00:12:45.129 --> 00:12:47.898
- There's going to be days when it comes hard into your life.
- 00:12:47.898 --> 00:12:51.202
- Temptation may come hard into your life.
- 00:12:51.202 --> 00:12:53.337
- The lies may come hard into your life.
- 00:12:53.337 --> 00:12:55.139
- You need the word of god.
- 00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:58.409
- Because when feelings are king over your life and not jesus,
- 00:12:58.409 --> 00:13:01.345
- You will always fall for false teachings
- 00:13:01.345 --> 00:13:04.548
- That only demons love.
- 00:13:05.015 --> 00:13:06.483
- By the way,
- 00:13:06.483 --> 00:13:07.952
- First john chapter four, verse one.
- 00:13:07.952 --> 00:13:09.320
- Dear friends,
- 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.521
- Do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the spirit.
- 00:13:10.521 --> 00:13:12.823
- You must test them.
- 00:13:12.823 --> 00:13:16.227
- Notice that right there.
- 00:13:16.227 --> 00:13:17.728
- Please pay attention.
- 00:13:17.728 --> 00:13:18.696
- You must test them to see
- 00:13:18.696 --> 00:13:20.965
- If the spirit they have comes from god.
- 00:13:20.965 --> 00:13:23.667
- For there will be many false prophets in the world.
- 00:13:23.667 --> 00:13:27.071
- A lot of people are going to walk up to you
- 00:13:27.071 --> 00:13:29.106
- And say, i heard from god.
- 00:13:29.106 --> 00:13:31.475
- You got to test them.
- 00:13:31.976 --> 00:13:33.944
- Something i've spoken to our staff many times.
- 00:13:33.944 --> 00:13:35.846
- Is this god's doing supernatural things for this ministry?
- 00:13:35.846 --> 00:13:39.350
- God is sending people okay.
- 00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:42.453
- But at the same time, so is satan.
- 00:13:42.453 --> 00:13:45.890
- And we have to be cautious over that.
- 00:13:45.890 --> 00:13:47.191
- We have to protect the flock.
- 00:13:47.191 --> 00:13:49.159
- We have to be in the word of god.
- 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.194
- We have to pray.
- 00:13:50.194 --> 00:13:50.928
- We have to set people free
- 00:13:50.928 --> 00:13:52.730
- Because he has some people come in fullness
- 00:13:52.730 --> 00:13:54.398
- With the holy spirit ready to go.
- 00:13:54.398 --> 00:13:55.566
- Some people come in ready to find jesus.
- 00:13:55.566 --> 00:13:57.501
- Some people come in with demons.
- 00:13:57.501 --> 00:13:58.602
- Let's be honest.
- 00:13:58.602 --> 00:14:00.804
- Maybe trying to cause division or hurt.
- 00:14:00.804 --> 00:14:03.374
- And so we have to be cautious over these things.
- 00:14:03.374 --> 00:14:05.276
- We must test them
- 00:14:05.276 --> 00:14:06.343
- To see if the spirit they have comes from god.
- 00:14:06.343 --> 00:14:08.679
- And listen.
- 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:09.914
- Just because something looks spiritual doesn't mean it is.
- 00:14:09.914 --> 00:14:11.882
- Second corinthians 1113 and 14.
- 00:14:11.882 --> 00:14:14.585
- These people are false apostles.
- 00:14:14.585 --> 00:14:16.287
- Listen to this.
- 00:14:16.287 --> 00:14:17.254
- They are deceitful workers who disguise
- 00:14:17.254 --> 00:14:20.925
- Themselves as apostles of christ.
- 00:14:20.925 --> 00:14:22.826
- For i'm not even surprised.
- 00:14:22.826 --> 00:14:24.161
- For even satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
- 00:14:24.161 --> 00:14:28.832
- Satan will pretend to be your friend.
- 00:14:29.633 --> 00:14:31.869
- He will pretend to give you everything that you need.
- 00:14:31.869 --> 00:14:35.439
- Why are we not in our bibles?
- 00:14:36.073 --> 00:14:39.143
- Why are we and everything else?
- 00:14:39.143 --> 00:14:42.613
- Or anything about it?
- 00:14:42.613 --> 00:14:43.514
- Why are we so consumed with everything?
- 00:14:43.514 --> 00:14:46.917
- If you know that you're going to struggle
- 00:14:46.917 --> 00:14:48.252
- With being distracted because you don't like to read
- 00:14:48.252 --> 00:14:49.920
- And do it first thing in the morning,
- 00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:52.990
- I do a first thing.
- 00:14:52.990 --> 00:14:54.992
- Set boundaries. set up a schedule.
- 00:14:54.992 --> 00:14:57.161
- Do what you got to do because the bible is very clear.
- 00:14:57.161 --> 00:14:59.563
- Psalms 119 105.
- 00:14:59.563 --> 00:15:01.598
- Your word is a lamp
- 00:15:01.598 --> 00:15:04.268
- To guide my feet
- 00:15:04.268 --> 00:15:06.403
- And a light for my path.
- 00:15:06.403 --> 00:15:08.973
- All right, let me show you something.
- 00:15:08.973 --> 00:15:11.175
- Go ahead and in the light, just a little bit.
- 00:15:11.175 --> 00:15:14.678
- Here's what the bible says, okay.
- 00:15:14.678 --> 00:15:17.114
- The word of god is a lamp.
- 00:15:17.114 --> 00:15:18.482
- Something different
- 00:15:18.482 --> 00:15:20.017
- Between a lamp and a flashlight, a flashlight.
- 00:15:20.017 --> 00:15:21.785
- You can see you know,
- 00:15:21.785 --> 00:15:23.620
- Far out as you point it to whatever direction you need.
- 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:26.590
- But with a lamp, when you hold it,
- 00:15:26.590 --> 00:15:28.792
- It covers you with light, and then it covers
- 00:15:29.693 --> 00:15:32.262
- Kind of what's right in front of you. right?
- 00:15:32.262 --> 00:15:34.198
- So pretty much you can see what's around you
- 00:15:34.198 --> 00:15:36.166
- And you can see what step to take.
- 00:15:36.166 --> 00:15:38.135
- And so the bible says, listen, the word of god is a lamp
- 00:15:38.135 --> 00:15:40.838
- For your feet.
- 00:15:40.838 --> 00:15:41.839
- And what you're going through,
- 00:15:41.839 --> 00:15:42.840
- There are verses out of the bible
- 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:44.942
- That will answer the questions you have today.
- 00:15:44.942 --> 00:15:47.111
- Specific verses okay, god,
- 00:15:47.111 --> 00:15:50.214
- Should i be in this relationship with an unbeliever?
- 00:15:50.214 --> 00:15:53.217
- The bible is very clear.
- 00:15:53.217 --> 00:15:54.251
- Do not be unequally yoked.
- 00:15:54.251 --> 00:15:56.887
- Do not be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever.
- 00:15:56.887 --> 00:15:59.890
- It's not going to go well for you.
- 00:15:59.890 --> 00:16:02.092
- Going to be a lot of heartache. all right. god.
- 00:16:02.092 --> 00:16:03.794
- Well, what about when it feels right? and.
- 00:16:03.794 --> 00:16:06.697
- But your word says differently. look at the next verse.
- 00:16:06.697 --> 00:16:09.299
- It says there's a path that seems right.
- 00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:11.802
- But at least where leads to destruction.
- 00:16:11.802 --> 00:16:14.772
- God is shedding or shining his light,
- 00:16:14.772 --> 00:16:17.775
- Showing his light around that destructive path.
- 00:16:17.775 --> 00:16:20.878
- I'm going to turn around because i'm worried.
- 00:16:20.878 --> 00:16:25.716
- I have anxiety and i have fear.
- 00:16:26.350 --> 00:16:29.119
- Don't worry about anything.
- 00:16:29.119 --> 00:16:32.022
- Look at how good the light can be.
- 00:16:32.022 --> 00:16:34.091
- Don't worry about anything.
- 00:16:34.091 --> 00:16:34.992
- But pray about everything.
- 00:16:34.992 --> 00:16:36.660
- Tell god what you need
- 00:16:36.660 --> 00:16:38.162
- And thank him for all that he has done.
- 00:16:38.162 --> 00:16:41.265
- This is the word of god that you can hold around you
- 00:16:41.265 --> 00:16:45.736
- Wherever you go.
- 00:16:45.736 --> 00:16:48.972
- But what about those questions, pastor?
- 00:16:48.972 --> 00:16:52.543
- What about those questions that are just harder and more broad,
- 00:16:52.543 --> 00:16:56.947
- Like, god, should i move to hickory, north carolina?
- 00:16:56.947 --> 00:17:00.284
- Yes you should.
- 00:17:00.284 --> 00:17:01.018
- We would love to have you.
- 00:17:01.018 --> 00:17:01.919
- And we would.
- 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.888
- No, seriously.
- 00:17:04.888 --> 00:17:05.856
- Take your time on those things. pray, pray.
- 00:17:05.856 --> 00:17:08.292
- Ask the lord.
- 00:17:08.292 --> 00:17:08.992
- Give you, give you
- 00:17:08.992 --> 00:17:10.194
- Patience and confirmation because those are big things.
- 00:17:10.194 --> 00:17:12.963
- But even if the bible doesn't specifically
- 00:17:12.963 --> 00:17:15.099
- Have a verse about your situation,
- 00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:16.767
- So the bible will give you guidance.
- 00:17:16.767 --> 00:17:19.570
- The bible gives you direction.
- 00:17:19.570 --> 00:17:20.971
- You know the character of god,
- 00:17:20.971 --> 00:17:22.706
- And you know how to confirm this with the lord.
- 00:17:22.706 --> 00:17:25.075
- Okay, when other godly people
- 00:17:25.075 --> 00:17:26.677
- You know how to pray and have patience
- 00:17:26.677 --> 00:17:28.512
- And also, you know, if this decision
- 00:17:28.512 --> 00:17:30.447
- Aligns with the character of who god is.
- 00:17:30.447 --> 00:17:33.684
- So the holy spirit in the bible will lead you.
- 00:17:33.684 --> 00:17:37.121
- And if it doesn't line up with god's word, guess what?
- 00:17:37.121 --> 00:17:39.056
- Don't let it lead your walk.
- 00:17:39.056 --> 00:17:40.691
- Don't let it lead your life.
- 00:17:41.291 --> 00:17:43.327
- For his light is a lamp upon my feet.
- 00:17:43.327 --> 00:17:47.397
- And i know where to go.
- 00:17:47.898 --> 00:17:48.699
- Because i know his voice.
- 00:17:48.699 --> 00:17:52.236
- My second point is this.
- 00:17:52.769 --> 00:17:55.372
- Be careful who you call confirmation for,
- 00:17:55.372 --> 00:17:58.675
- But be careful whom you call for confirmation.
- 00:17:58.675 --> 00:18:01.678
- Again, we're going to.
- 00:18:01.678 --> 00:18:02.546
- We're going to tackle this point okay.
- 00:18:02.546 --> 00:18:03.814
- But this is going to be a lot of people notice this on your
- 00:18:03.814 --> 00:18:05.916
- On your journey with getting closer to jesus.
- 00:18:05.916 --> 00:18:07.818
- It's going to be a lot of people that come out of the woodworks
- 00:18:07.818 --> 00:18:10.254
- Saying they heard from god.
- 00:18:10.254 --> 00:18:12.055
- And let me tell you, ladies, right now,
- 00:18:12.055 --> 00:18:13.323
- If there's a man
- 00:18:13.323 --> 00:18:14.258
- That comes up to you and says, god told me
- 00:18:14.258 --> 00:18:15.492
- You're going to marry me, you better run.
- 00:18:15.492 --> 00:18:17.895
- That man did not hear from the lord.
- 00:18:17.895 --> 00:18:19.329
- Can i get an amen with that? okay.
- 00:18:19.329 --> 00:18:20.697
- You run away, okay.
- 00:18:20.697 --> 00:18:22.633
- He did not hear from the lord holding his own flesh.
- 00:18:22.633 --> 00:18:24.801
- Right?
- 00:18:24.801 --> 00:18:25.402
- But look here in the story
- 00:18:25.402 --> 00:18:27.237
- I 21 verse four again we went ashore, found the local
- 00:18:27.237 --> 00:18:30.307
- Believers, stayed with them a week.
- 00:18:30.307 --> 00:18:32.042
- These believers prophesied to the holy spirit
- 00:18:32.042 --> 00:18:35.345
- That paul should not go to jerusalem.
- 00:18:35.345 --> 00:18:37.347
- Again, they're telling him not to go.
- 00:18:38.081 --> 00:18:39.183
- Acts 21, verse 12.
- 00:18:39.183 --> 00:18:40.384
- When we heard this, we and the local believers
- 00:18:40.384 --> 00:18:42.553
- All begged paul, not to go to tourism high.
- 00:18:42.553 --> 00:18:47.691
- Let's make sense of this.
- 00:18:47.691 --> 00:18:49.626
- The holy spirit speaking to them.
- 00:18:49.626 --> 00:18:51.728
- The holy spirit speaking to paul.
- 00:18:51.728 --> 00:18:53.230
- Is there a contradiction? no.
- 00:18:53.230 --> 00:18:56.733
- They're actually saying the same thing.
- 00:18:57.534 --> 00:19:00.737
- It's actually confirmation for paul.
- 00:19:00.737 --> 00:19:03.440
- Okay. let me help you understand.
- 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:05.642
- The believers, the christians, even luke himself.
- 00:19:05.642 --> 00:19:08.712
- Okay.
- 00:19:08.712 --> 00:19:09.913
- Heard from the lord, the prophet agaba heard from the lord.
- 00:19:09.913 --> 00:19:13.317
- When you go to jerusalem, paul, you're going to suffer.
- 00:19:13.317 --> 00:19:16.520
- You're going to go through trials.
- 00:19:17.254 --> 00:19:19.356
- So they thought being a good friend
- 00:19:19.356 --> 00:19:21.992
- Meant saying, okay, you shouldn't go.
- 00:19:21.992 --> 00:19:25.429
- You don't need to be led there.
- 00:19:25.429 --> 00:19:26.630
- You're going to be hurt.
- 00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:27.931
- They heard the same thing that paul heard,
- 00:19:27.931 --> 00:19:31.501
- But paul heard it in acts chapter 20
- 00:19:31.501 --> 00:19:34.238
- And his private prayer life with the lord, where god said,
- 00:19:34.238 --> 00:19:37.541
- The holy spirit's going to lead you to jerusalem into suffering
- 00:19:37.541 --> 00:19:41.178
- And trials and jail.
- 00:19:41.645 --> 00:19:44.281
- So when agaba says you're going to go through a lot,
- 00:19:44.281 --> 00:19:47.251
- It confirmed it
- 00:19:47.251 --> 00:19:49.319
- For paul.
- 00:19:49.620 --> 00:19:50.387
- I heard from the holy spirit.
- 00:19:50.387 --> 00:19:53.457
- I know the people around me don't understand because, again,
- 00:19:53.457 --> 00:19:56.593
- I have a piece of the puzzle they don't have
- 00:19:56.593 --> 00:20:00.063
- Because i spoke to the lord in my private prayer life.
- 00:20:00.063 --> 00:20:03.700
- It just proved that he should go.
- 00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:06.403
- It was a perspective thing again.
- 00:20:06.403 --> 00:20:08.472
- Acts 20, verse 22 and 23 paul
- 00:20:08.472 --> 00:20:11.308
- Said, i'm bound by the spirit to go to jerusalem.
- 00:20:11.308 --> 00:20:15.145
- I don't know what awaits me
- 00:20:15.746 --> 00:20:18.282
- Except the holy spirit tells me to go.
- 00:20:18.282 --> 00:20:21.985
- Some of you going to have some hard conversations
- 00:20:22.986 --> 00:20:24.755
- With people you love, and that's going to be your answer.
- 00:20:24.755 --> 00:20:28.558
- I don't know,
- 00:20:28.925 --> 00:20:30.827
- But i do know that the holy spirit told me to go.
- 00:20:30.827 --> 00:20:34.464
- I do know that the holy spirit told me to let this heal.
- 00:20:34.464 --> 00:20:37.067
- I do know the holy spirit told me
- 00:20:37.067 --> 00:20:38.368
- To let these things go out of my life.
- 00:20:38.368 --> 00:20:40.137
- I do know the holy spirit told me to move by faith,
- 00:20:40.137 --> 00:20:42.639
- To start this business, to move to,
- 00:20:42.639 --> 00:20:44.474
- To be in his word, to, to pray over people,
- 00:20:45.342 --> 00:20:47.411
- To be in ministry, whatever it may be.
- 00:20:47.411 --> 00:20:51.848
- I don't have all the answers,
- 00:20:52.482 --> 00:20:53.450
- But the holy spirit told me to come.
- 00:20:53.450 --> 00:20:56.520
- And so let me make it clear.
- 00:20:56.520 --> 00:20:57.487
- God gave the people the warning,
- 00:20:57.487 --> 00:20:58.755
- But only paul understood the calling.
- 00:20:58.755 --> 00:21:02.392
- Everybody received the warning.
- 00:21:03.026 --> 00:21:05.395
- But only paul understood the calling of the lord in
- 00:21:05.395 --> 00:21:09.433
- His ministry, what god was doing specifically through him.
- 00:21:09.433 --> 00:21:12.836
- And again, i want to make this clear.
- 00:21:13.637 --> 00:21:15.238
- There's going to be a lot of people
- 00:21:15.238 --> 00:21:16.206
- That come up to you and say, you know what
- 00:21:16.206 --> 00:21:17.441
- I've heard from the lord,
- 00:21:17.441 --> 00:21:19.776
- And this is what you should do,
- 00:21:19.776 --> 00:21:21.244
- And this is where you should go.
- 00:21:21.244 --> 00:21:22.579
- Be cautious because again, god, since people
- 00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:26.583
- So does the devil.
- 00:21:27.017 --> 00:21:28.618
- And some people proclaiming to hear from the lord
- 00:21:29.653 --> 00:21:31.755
- Will also plan to lead you astray and twist scripture.
- 00:21:31.755 --> 00:21:36.126
- This is good right here.
- 00:21:36.126 --> 00:21:37.160
- Maybe you need to write this down
- 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:38.328
- And i pray that this helps you.
- 00:21:38.328 --> 00:21:40.130
- Okay?
- 00:21:40.130 --> 00:21:40.897
- The voice of other people
- 00:21:40.897 --> 00:21:44.034
- Should be confirmation of what god
- 00:21:44.034 --> 00:21:46.803
- Has already spoken into your life.
- 00:21:46.803 --> 00:21:51.007
- Meaning god has already spoken it.
- 00:21:51.742 --> 00:21:54.978
- You've already heard from the lord.
- 00:21:54.978 --> 00:21:57.147
- So when somebody comes up to you and listen, a lot of times
- 00:21:57.147 --> 00:21:59.950
- The confirmation comes from a person that doesn't even know
- 00:21:59.950 --> 00:22:03.153
- They're bringing you confirmation.
- 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.189
- They're just telling you something.
- 00:22:06.189 --> 00:22:08.024
- They're saying something.
- 00:22:08.024 --> 00:22:09.126
- You're like, what would you say to that one more time?
- 00:22:09.126 --> 00:22:11.561
- Because god just spoke that to me.
- 00:22:11.561 --> 00:22:13.430
- I just saw the verse.
- 00:22:13.430 --> 00:22:14.297
- He just he just placed it upon my heart.
- 00:22:14.297 --> 00:22:16.867
- There have been many times that god has spoken to me
- 00:22:16.867 --> 00:22:19.102
- And my wife
- 00:22:19.102 --> 00:22:20.437
- And our private ministry, and all of a sudden, publicly,
- 00:22:20.437 --> 00:22:23.440
- Other people and leaders heard the same thing.
- 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.675
- It just confirmed. it
- 00:22:25.675 --> 00:22:27.077
- Confirmed what the lord was speaking.
- 00:22:27.911 --> 00:22:29.713
- But listen, i again,
- 00:22:29.713 --> 00:22:32.182
- The voice of other people should be confirmation
- 00:22:32.182 --> 00:22:34.151
- Of what god has already spoken to you,
- 00:22:34.151 --> 00:22:35.852
- But never take direction from someone
- 00:22:35.852 --> 00:22:40.190
- You don't know that well
- 00:22:40.190 --> 00:22:42.259
- And from someone, saying something
- 00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:44.394
- That you have not heard from the lord yourself,
- 00:22:44.394 --> 00:22:48.331
- Meaning somebody coming up to you, telling you something
- 00:22:48.331 --> 00:22:50.500
- You have not heard from the lord,
- 00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:52.068
- Hasn't been on your radar, hasn't been confirmed.
- 00:22:52.068 --> 00:22:55.272
- You haven't heard it at all.
- 00:22:55.272 --> 00:22:56.673
- But they're telling you they got all the
- 00:22:56.673 --> 00:22:58.074
- All the chills and everything.
- 00:22:58.074 --> 00:22:58.975
- No, no, no, i heard from the lord.
- 00:22:58.975 --> 00:23:00.577
- You need to do this.
- 00:23:00.577 --> 00:23:01.278
- Be cautious of it.
- 00:23:01.278 --> 00:23:03.713
- Be cautious.
- 00:23:03.713 --> 00:23:06.149
- Let me make it very simple.
- 00:23:06.149 --> 00:23:07.217
- Direction.
- 00:23:07.217 --> 00:23:08.752
- Direction comes from the lord.
- 00:23:08.752 --> 00:23:11.721
- But god will send people to confirm
- 00:23:11.721 --> 00:23:14.591
- What you've already heard
- 00:23:15.158 --> 00:23:17.794
- From the lord.
- 00:23:17.794 --> 00:23:20.230
- This means you got to spend time with god.
- 00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:22.032
- Stop chasing people
- 00:23:22.032 --> 00:23:25.135
- All the time to just hear from god.
- 00:23:25.135 --> 00:23:28.305
- Why you have to spend time
- 00:23:28.305 --> 00:23:31.074
- With the lord by yourself
- 00:23:31.074 --> 00:23:34.244
- In his word.
- 00:23:34.244 --> 00:23:35.312
- What is he specifically speaking to you right now?
- 00:23:35.312 --> 00:23:39.182
- My last point very quickly is this god's
- 00:23:40.050 --> 00:23:42.786
- Voice brings peace.
- 00:23:42.786 --> 00:23:46.022
- That's the great thing about listening to the lord.
- 00:23:46.022 --> 00:23:47.624
- Again, paul said in acts 21 verse 13,
- 00:23:47.624 --> 00:23:50.160
- He said, why all this weeping?
- 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.563
- It says, you're breaking my heart,
- 00:23:53.563 --> 00:23:56.099
- But i'm ready to go.
- 00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:59.803
- I know you don't understand, but i'm ready to be heard.
- 00:23:59.803 --> 00:24:02.372
- I'm ready to be jailed.
- 00:24:02.372 --> 00:24:03.373
- I'm ready to even die for jesus christ.
- 00:24:03.373 --> 00:24:06.042
- Because i have a peace.
- 00:24:06.042 --> 00:24:08.378
- I have a peace in my life.
- 00:24:08.378 --> 00:24:09.613
- And i know it's hard for you to get it, but it's here.
- 00:24:09.613 --> 00:24:12.616
- It's in me.
- 00:24:12.616 --> 00:24:14.351
- And so we had peace.
- 00:24:14.351 --> 00:24:15.552
- Not because it was going to be easy, but because it was god
- 00:24:15.552 --> 00:24:19.189
- Who was in control of all things.
- 00:24:19.923 --> 00:24:21.391
- Colossians chapter three verse 15 states like this.
- 00:24:21.391 --> 00:24:24.261
- Let the peace that comes from christ rule in your hearts.
- 00:24:24.261 --> 00:24:28.164
- For as members of one body, you are called to live in peace
- 00:24:28.164 --> 00:24:32.469
- And always be thankful.
- 00:24:32.469 --> 00:24:37.541
- Let me say like this i.
- 00:24:38.041 --> 00:24:41.378
- When you're close to the lord,
- 00:24:41.978 --> 00:24:45.181
- When you're listening to jesus.
- 00:24:45.181 --> 00:24:48.652
- Let's be honest with each other.
- 00:24:48.652 --> 00:24:49.819
- You know what it feels like to have peace from jesus.
- 00:24:49.819 --> 00:24:53.757
- Have you ever had that peace before you?
- 00:24:54.624 --> 00:24:56.826
- You never had that peace for that
- 00:24:56.826 --> 00:24:57.794
- Makes sense in your situation.
- 00:24:57.794 --> 00:24:59.262
- But you know what it is.
- 00:24:59.262 --> 00:25:00.964
- You know the peace came from jesus.
- 00:25:00.964 --> 00:25:02.666
- You also know when there's no peace.
- 00:25:02.666 --> 00:25:06.570
- You also know when god is saying no.
- 00:25:07.337 --> 00:25:10.707
- Stop forcing it.
- 00:25:11.107 --> 00:25:12.909
- Stop trying to make it work.
- 00:25:12.909 --> 00:25:14.411
- There's no peace. listen. listen to the lord.
- 00:25:14.411 --> 00:25:17.180
- Never go against the peace that god is offering for you.
- 00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:21.985
- All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
- 00:25:23.053 --> 00:25:25.422
- But i pray that today's message bless your life.
- 00:25:25.422 --> 00:25:29.159
- There is a reason you heard this word today.
- 00:25:29.159 --> 00:25:31.695
- It's not by mistake.
- 00:25:31.695 --> 00:25:33.163
- You're here for a reason, and god has a plan for you.
- 00:25:33.163 --> 00:25:37.067
- And listen, if you love this church
- 00:25:37.067 --> 00:25:39.235
- And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
- 00:25:39.235 --> 00:25:42.105
- Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
- 00:25:42.105 --> 00:25:46.009
- And it's very easy to give.
- 00:25:46.009 --> 00:25:47.544
- And once you give, listen,
- 00:25:47.544 --> 00:25:48.778
- You're helping change lives because of your faithful giving.
- 00:25:48.778 --> 00:25:53.083
- We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
- 00:25:53.083 --> 00:25:56.820
- We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
- 00:25:56.820 --> 00:25:59.289
- Into everyone's home as much as we can.
- 00:25:59.289 --> 00:26:02.692
- So that they know the love of god.
- 00:26:02.692 --> 00:26:05.695
- And listen.
- 00:26:05.695 --> 00:26:06.596
- If you want to hear more sermons as well.
- 00:26:06.596 --> 00:26:07.731
- Don't forget you can join us live every sunday,
- 00:26:07.731 --> 00:26:10.767
- 815, 10:00, and 1145.
- 00:26:10.767 --> 00:26:13.970
- So thank you for watching today
- 00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:16.306
- And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
- 00:26:16.306 --> 00:26:24.080
- Be me.
- 00:26:24.280 --> 00:26:43.033
- And the
- 00:26:43.266 --> 00:26:44.067
- Reason i even bring it up tonight
- 00:26:44.067 --> 00:26:47.003
- Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus
- 00:26:47.003 --> 00:26:50.774
- The man, the gospel message is all about
- 00:26:50.774 --> 00:26:54.711
- Your understanding of the message about the man
- 00:26:54.711 --> 00:26:59.015
- Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man. he.
- 00:26:59.015 --> 00:27:32.215
- Says this job doesn't work out for me.
- 00:27:33.049 --> 00:27:35.452
- What if i move my life by faith?
- 00:27:35.452 --> 00:27:38.321
- And it all just crumbles to the ground?
- 00:27:38.321 --> 00:27:40.757
- What if it works?
- 00:27:40.757 --> 00:27:42.092
- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:27:42.092 --> 00:27:45.028
- But i would rather move by faith and even fail and fail
- 00:27:45.028 --> 00:27:48.498
- And fail and know that i follow god and i ended up
- 00:27:48.498 --> 00:27:51.434
- Exactly where i needed to be.
- 00:27:51.434 --> 00:28:23.466
- You know what?
- 00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:24.200
- Today is
- 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.835
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:28:25.835 --> 00:28:28.972
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:28:29.405 --> 00:28:32.642
- Woo! you better
- 00:28:33.009 --> 00:28:35.044
- Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
- 00:28:35.044 --> 00:28:38.782
- I came here to remind you
- 00:28:39.349 --> 00:28:41.117
- You need the holy spirit.
- 00:28:41.117 --> 00:29:10.847
- Maybe.
- 00:29:11.047 --> 00:29:11.047
