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

  • 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
