Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - When God Feels Silent (Part 1) | February 12, 2026

She. hears the good news that i have for you today.
00:00:01.067 --> 00:00:04.635
Did you know that
00:00:04.635 --> 00:00:05.669
One of the gifts of the holy spirit in your life
00:00:05.669 --> 00:00:08.372
Is discernment?
00:00:08.372 --> 00:00:09.573
Let me let me also be clear on this discernment between
00:00:09.573 --> 00:00:12.643
What is the spirit of god versus what is demonic.
00:00:12.643 --> 00:00:16.647
I pray that you guys
00:00:16.647 --> 00:00:17.548
Have been enjoying this, this series,
00:00:17.548 --> 00:00:19.249
And i pray that it's been blessing you
00:00:19.249 --> 00:00:21.218
Because we've been talking about
00:00:21.218 --> 00:00:22.252
Just relying on the lord like you're not meant
00:00:22.252 --> 00:00:24.288
To fight the battles alone in your life.
00:00:24.288 --> 00:00:26.423
You're not meant to go through these trials alone.
00:00:26.423 --> 00:00:28.592
And god is with you and he's fighting for you.
00:00:28.592 --> 00:00:31.462
And so do me a favor before we dive into the word today.
00:00:31.462 --> 00:00:35.065
Look to somebody next to you and remind them
00:00:35.065 --> 00:00:37.201
God hears your prayers. god.
00:00:37.201 --> 00:00:39.870
God hears your prayers.
00:00:40.370 --> 00:00:43.073
Because let's be honest, sometimes it feels like
00:00:43.073 --> 00:00:44.908
He doesn't. right?
00:00:44.908 --> 00:00:46.677
I want to i want to remind you of this very powerful
00:00:46.677 --> 00:00:49.313
Psalm and psalm 34.
00:00:49.313 --> 00:00:52.282
And i love just looking back at david,
00:00:52.282 --> 00:00:53.684
Because if there's anybody
00:00:53.684 --> 00:00:54.885
That went through a battle, it was david.
00:00:54.885 --> 00:00:57.087
David was very honest about his feelings here.
00:00:57.087 --> 00:00:59.723
But he says in verse 17
00:00:59.723 --> 00:01:00.924
And 18, in psalm 34, he says, the lord hears his people.
00:01:00.924 --> 00:01:04.761
When they were, when they called to him for help.
00:01:04.761 --> 00:01:09.333
Let me encourage you today.
00:01:09.933 --> 00:01:11.068
If you're going through a battle, call upon the lord.
00:01:11.068 --> 00:01:13.670
Call upon jesus.
00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:14.905
Ask him to show up in your situation.
00:01:14.905 --> 00:01:17.107
For david stay to like this.
00:01:17.107 --> 00:01:18.308
He rescues them from all of their troubles.
00:01:18.308 --> 00:01:22.579
And here's a very famous verse right here
00:01:23.413 --> 00:01:25.749
That has been quoted many times.
00:01:26.383 --> 00:01:27.584
The lord is close to the way
00:01:27.584 --> 00:01:30.587
You got a broken heart.
00:01:30.587 --> 00:01:33.724
You go and do something.
00:01:33.724 --> 00:01:37.161
The lord is with you and he can heal you.
00:01:37.161 --> 00:01:39.663
So don't stop praying.
00:01:39.663 --> 00:01:42.032
And he not only does that, but he rescues
00:01:42.032 --> 00:01:43.800
Those who spirits are crushed.
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:46.670
And so again, this is king david.
00:01:46.670 --> 00:01:48.338
And at this point david has been running for
00:01:48.338 --> 00:01:50.741
His life, is not yet king, and he's seeing all the battles.
00:01:50.741 --> 00:01:53.877
And so really, the context here is that david had to pause
00:01:53.877 --> 00:01:56.980
And look up,
00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:58.081
And he realized that in every battle that he's faced,
00:01:58.081 --> 00:01:59.516
The reason he has victory is because of god showing up.
00:01:59.516 --> 00:02:03.120
So he starts praising the lord.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.821
This is the conclusion that he has in psalms 34.
00:02:04.821 --> 00:02:08.025
But the crazy thing,
00:02:08.025 --> 00:02:09.993
We all go through this struggle.
00:02:10.627 --> 00:02:12.596
Like i said, sometimes it feels like god isn't listening.
00:02:12.596 --> 00:02:15.999
Sometimes it feels like you just keep praying
00:02:15.999 --> 00:02:17.701
And you're hearing nothing.
00:02:17.701 --> 00:02:19.570
Sometimes it feels like you're believing,
00:02:19.570 --> 00:02:21.038
But you're not seeing the miracle.
00:02:21.038 --> 00:02:22.306
And so even though david has come
00:02:22.306 --> 00:02:24.241
To this conclusion in psalms 34,
00:02:24.241 --> 00:02:25.876
If you just go back just a little bit,
00:02:25.876 --> 00:02:28.579
Psalms chapter 22, verse one and two, listen to this.
00:02:28.579 --> 00:02:31.448
David also said, my god, my god, why have you abandoned me?
00:02:31.448 --> 00:02:36.186
In other words,
00:02:36.553 --> 00:02:37.554
This is exactly what jesus said up on the cross.
00:02:37.554 --> 00:02:40.123
Why have you forsaken me?
00:02:40.691 --> 00:02:42.893
David said, why are you so far away?
00:02:42.893 --> 00:02:45.429
When i groan for help. now listen to this.
00:02:45.429 --> 00:02:47.164
Every day i call you my god.
00:02:47.164 --> 00:02:49.233
But you do not answer.
00:02:49.233 --> 00:02:51.401
And every night i lift my voice.
00:02:51.401 --> 00:02:53.403
But i find no relief.
00:02:53.403 --> 00:02:55.939
And so doesn't it seem like psalms 34 contradicts psalms
00:02:55.939 --> 00:02:59.710
22, where psalms 34 says that the lord hears
00:02:59.710 --> 00:03:02.813
You when you cry out to him.
00:03:02.813 --> 00:03:04.081
But in psalms 22 it states that the lord are you even there?
00:03:04.081 --> 00:03:08.118
God? do you even hear my prayers?
00:03:08.852 --> 00:03:10.921
Because i don't know
00:03:10.921 --> 00:03:11.989
If you're in my situation and so i want to be very
00:03:11.989 --> 00:03:16.460
Honest about this.
00:03:16.893 --> 00:03:17.928
What's happening here is that david is talking
00:03:17.928 --> 00:03:20.030
About his feelings in psalms 22.
00:03:20.030 --> 00:03:23.834
And he's being open and saying,
00:03:24.468 --> 00:03:26.637
It feels like the lord has abandoned me.
00:03:26.637 --> 00:03:29.706
It feels like god is gone from my situation.
00:03:30.607 --> 00:03:34.811
But some way, or somewhere along the way to psalms
00:03:34.811 --> 00:03:39.149
34, we see god show up in the scripture.
00:03:39.149 --> 00:03:42.486
We see god show up in david's life and god
00:03:42.486 --> 00:03:45.989
Is proven to david, i never left you.
00:03:45.989 --> 00:03:49.860
I never abandoned you.
00:03:50.327 --> 00:03:52.362
And i know
00:03:52.362 --> 00:03:53.597
Life may seem very difficult right now, but i am always here,
00:03:53.597 --> 00:03:56.800
For i am close to the broken hearted.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.102
That's how david came to this conclusion.
00:03:59.102 --> 00:04:01.972
But here's a powerful truth for you today.
00:04:02.839 --> 00:04:05.575
You can have a lot of faith
00:04:05.575 --> 00:04:09.112
And have a lot of frustration at the same time.
00:04:09.112 --> 00:04:12.382
You can walk by faith
00:04:12.883 --> 00:04:14.384
And still be frustrated.
00:04:14.384 --> 00:04:17.688
This is david
00:04:17.688 --> 00:04:19.890
Because it felt like god had left him in the dark.
00:04:19.890 --> 00:04:23.593
But the story of david in the scriptures prove otherwise.
00:04:23.593 --> 00:04:26.830
So the title of today's message
00:04:26.830 --> 00:04:28.932
Is this when god, if you're silent,
00:04:28.932 --> 00:04:32.169
Sing in the darkness.
00:04:32.669 --> 00:04:35.205
When god feels silent, when it feels like
00:04:35.205 --> 00:04:37.107
He's not listening to you,
00:04:37.107 --> 00:04:38.875
When it feels like he's not in your situation, i'm
00:04:38.875 --> 00:04:40.977
Going to encourage you today.
00:04:40.977 --> 00:04:42.279
When life feels broken and it feels dark.
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.248
I want to encourage you to praise the lord and watch him
00:04:45.248 --> 00:04:48.185
Show up in a miraculous way.
00:04:48.185 --> 00:04:51.254
So if you have your bibles, you can turn to acts chapter 16.
00:04:51.254 --> 00:04:54.591
Acts chapter 16.
00:04:54.591 --> 00:04:56.026
I'm going to focus on two godly men today, paul and silas.
00:04:56.026 --> 00:05:00.230
Now, just recently we talked about paul's
00:05:00.230 --> 00:05:02.532
First missionary journey into asia minor.
00:05:02.532 --> 00:05:05.435
He's traveling through europe, but this time in acts chapter
00:05:05.435 --> 00:05:08.638
16, we're talking about paul's second missionary journey,
00:05:08.638 --> 00:05:12.476
And he brings some new people with them.
00:05:12.476 --> 00:05:13.944
So he's bringing silas.
00:05:13.944 --> 00:05:15.512
He's also bringing luke, and he's bringing timothy.
00:05:15.512 --> 00:05:18.682
Timothy is like his young protege.
00:05:18.682 --> 00:05:21.017
He's teaching timothy how to be a pastor.
00:05:21.017 --> 00:05:22.986
Sit down. timothy's rolling with him as well.
00:05:22.986 --> 00:05:25.756
And the bible tells us in acts chapter 16 that they end up
00:05:25.756 --> 00:05:29.092
Traveling to macedonia, which is modern day greece.
00:05:29.092 --> 00:05:32.629
Now, here's what i want to stop for a second.
00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:34.531
It's very interesting why they went there.
00:05:34.531 --> 00:05:38.101
The reason they went to macedonia
00:05:38.101 --> 00:05:40.570
Is because god spoke to paul in a dream.
00:05:40.570 --> 00:05:45.175
That's the whole reason they win.
00:05:45.876 --> 00:05:47.677
Acts chapter 16, verse nine and ten.
00:05:47.677 --> 00:05:51.381
It states that that night paul had a vision
00:05:51.381 --> 00:05:54.284
And a man from macedonia and northern greece
00:05:54.284 --> 00:05:56.920
Was standing there.
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.321
Now listen to this. he was pleading with him.
00:05:58.321 --> 00:06:01.057
Come over to macedonia and help us.
00:06:01.057 --> 00:06:04.761
Now paul wakes up from this dream,
00:06:04.761 --> 00:06:06.563
But listen to the wording here.
00:06:06.563 --> 00:06:07.998
We decided to lead to macedonia at once
00:06:07.998 --> 00:06:11.301
And have concluded that this dream came from god.
00:06:11.301 --> 00:06:15.572
Paul knew the voice of the lord.
00:06:16.206 --> 00:06:18.842
He knew when god was speaking to him,
00:06:18.842 --> 00:06:21.411
And a lot of us would have a dream like that,
00:06:21.411 --> 00:06:23.313
And we'd be like, oh, is this a dream? right?
00:06:23.313 --> 00:06:26.116
A lot of us was kind of just just shrug it off.
00:06:26.116 --> 00:06:28.318
It's just a dream. i don't need to go anywhere.
00:06:28.318 --> 00:06:30.821
That was a little weird. little different.
00:06:30.821 --> 00:06:33.089
But paul understood the voice of the lord.
00:06:33.089 --> 00:06:35.492
He'd been intimate with the lord.
00:06:35.492 --> 00:06:36.760
He knew his voice. he knew who? when god shows up.
00:06:36.760 --> 00:06:39.196
And so he knew in this dream
00:06:39.196 --> 00:06:40.831
That the lord was telling him to go somewhere and notice this.
00:06:40.831 --> 00:06:43.133
He was ready to go.
00:06:43.133 --> 00:06:44.901
He decided to lead the macedonia at once,
00:06:44.901 --> 00:06:47.370
Concluding that it was god, and he went to do what?
00:06:47.370 --> 00:06:49.372
To preach the gospel, the good news.
00:06:49.372 --> 00:06:51.608
Because in the dream this man is like, hey, i need saving.
00:06:51.608 --> 00:06:55.479
And so
00:06:55.679 --> 00:06:56.780
Make no mistake about it,
00:06:56.780 --> 00:06:57.948
God still speaks to us today in dreams.
00:06:57.948 --> 00:06:59.850
Did you know that?
00:06:59.850 --> 00:07:02.052
I truly believe that god speaks to us today in dreams?
00:07:02.052 --> 00:07:04.554
This church got here because of dreams.
00:07:04.554 --> 00:07:06.223
My family moved to north carolina because of dreams.
00:07:06.223 --> 00:07:09.793
But let me also back it up with scripture here.
00:07:09.793 --> 00:07:12.095
Job chapter 33, verse 14 and 15 states it like this.
00:07:12.095 --> 00:07:15.332
For god speaks again and again.
00:07:15.332 --> 00:07:16.933
Now listen to the wording here,
00:07:16.933 --> 00:07:18.034
Though people do not recognize it.
00:07:18.034 --> 00:07:21.037
How can we don't recognize when god is speaking?
00:07:21.037 --> 00:07:23.206
Because he will speak in way in dreams.
00:07:23.206 --> 00:07:27.377
He's speaking visions of the night
00:07:27.377 --> 00:07:28.745
When deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds.
00:07:28.745 --> 00:07:32.782
Now let's ask the question
00:07:32.782 --> 00:07:34.417
Why does god speak to us in our dreams?
00:07:34.417 --> 00:07:36.086
Here's the reason why.
00:07:36.086 --> 00:07:37.420
Because when you're awake, you're distracted.
00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:41.191
Let's be honest.
00:07:41.591 --> 00:07:42.792
It's hard to hear
00:07:42.792 --> 00:07:43.793
God when you're on your phone all day long.
00:07:43.793 --> 00:07:45.829
When you're busy at work, when you're
00:07:45.829 --> 00:07:47.264
Dealing with family problems
00:07:47.264 --> 00:07:48.832
Or you're busy running around and you got sports to go to.
00:07:48.832 --> 00:07:52.168
And so it's very distracting
00:07:52.168 --> 00:07:53.937
And it's very hard to hear the voice of god.
00:07:53.937 --> 00:07:55.672
So sometimes god will wait till you're asleep
00:07:55.672 --> 00:07:58.208
And he'll show up and be like, surprise!
00:07:58.208 --> 00:08:00.477
Can't go anywhere.
00:08:00.477 --> 00:08:01.745
Can grab your phone.
00:08:01.745 --> 00:08:02.646
You're going to listen to this message.
00:08:02.646 --> 00:08:06.116
Thank you jesus that he speaks to us in our dreams.
00:08:06.116 --> 00:08:08.151
Now, let me also go to the other side of that, okay?
00:08:08.151 --> 00:08:10.921
Not every dream you receive came from god.
00:08:10.921 --> 00:08:14.457
Also understand that that god created us to dream.
00:08:14.457 --> 00:08:17.027
That's part of the human process,
00:08:17.027 --> 00:08:18.995
Because i've had people come up to me
00:08:18.995 --> 00:08:20.630
And they're like, pastor
00:08:20.630 --> 00:08:21.765
At this crazy dream about a chicken
00:08:21.765 --> 00:08:23.800
And a cow and all these and i think it came from god.
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.870
I'm like, you sure you didn't come from
00:08:26.870 --> 00:08:27.804
Ben and jerry's the night before?
00:08:27.804 --> 00:08:29.906
Like, did you eat a lot of candy?
00:08:29.906 --> 00:08:31.174
A lot of pizza right before you went to bed.
00:08:31.174 --> 00:08:33.710
And so let me clarify here.
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:35.779
A god given dream is different.
00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:39.349
A god given dream is different.
00:08:39.983 --> 00:08:41.718
It will be very detailed.
00:08:41.718 --> 00:08:44.187
Sometimes god is going to give you
00:08:44.187 --> 00:08:45.455
Revelations about somebody else, okay?
00:08:45.455 --> 00:08:48.258
And you need a
00:08:48.258 --> 00:08:49.326
If you have a god given dream, if you feel like it
00:08:49.326 --> 00:08:50.660
Came from the lord, write it down, pray over it.
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:52.195
Ask god for confirmation.
00:08:52.195 --> 00:08:53.797
God may speak to you about somebody else.
00:08:53.797 --> 00:08:55.498
Come speak to you about your life
00:08:55.498 --> 00:08:57.801
And what you're going through.
00:08:57.801 --> 00:08:59.002
I've shared countless illustrations of my wife
00:08:59.002 --> 00:09:03.206
Having dreams about people and going to them and saying,
00:09:03.206 --> 00:09:06.009
Hey, the lord showed me this and praying over them
00:09:06.009 --> 00:09:08.044
And we find out that it was true.
00:09:08.044 --> 00:09:09.946
Okay.
00:09:09.946 --> 00:09:11.114
But we would have known that by just our human nature.
00:09:11.114 --> 00:09:12.716
We heard from the lord in a dream.
00:09:12.716 --> 00:09:14.317
And by the way, this is not the first time
00:09:14.317 --> 00:09:16.586
That god has spoken to somebody in a dream
00:09:16.586 --> 00:09:18.622
About going a certain direction in life.
00:09:18.622 --> 00:09:21.758
God also spoke to joseph in a dream and said,
00:09:21.758 --> 00:09:25.095
Take mary and jesus into egypt
00:09:25.095 --> 00:09:27.263
Because king herod is trying to kill jesus.
00:09:27.263 --> 00:09:29.599
Matthew chapter two, verse 13 states like this.
00:09:29.599 --> 00:09:31.835
And angel of the lord appeared to joseph in a dream.
00:09:31.835 --> 00:09:34.938
Now i just think that's cool.
00:09:34.938 --> 00:09:37.040
Like god is so supernatural,
00:09:37.641 --> 00:09:39.342
So powerful that he can send an angel into your dream.
00:09:39.342 --> 00:09:42.712
And so the angel of the lord appeared to joseph in a dream
00:09:42.712 --> 00:09:45.348
And said, get up.
00:09:45.348 --> 00:09:46.583
Flee to egypt with the child and his mother.
00:09:46.583 --> 00:09:49.152
The angel said, stay there until i tell you to return.
00:09:49.152 --> 00:09:52.789
So god was going to speak to him again about where to go,
00:09:52.789 --> 00:09:55.225
Because king herod is going to search for the child
00:09:55.225 --> 00:09:57.527
And try to kill him.
00:09:57.527 --> 00:09:58.862
So being courageous means being willing and obedient
00:09:58.862 --> 00:10:03.500
To the voice of god, even when it looks crazy.
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:08.772
Because i guarantee you, if you walk up to somebody
00:10:08.772 --> 00:10:11.975
And you say to them, i'm
00:10:11.975 --> 00:10:13.443
Going to do this because of a dream from god.
00:10:13.443 --> 00:10:15.412
They're going to look at you sideways.
00:10:15.412 --> 00:10:17.113
They're going to think you're crazy.
00:10:17.881 --> 00:10:19.883
But that's what it means to be courageous.
00:10:19.883 --> 00:10:21.851
I know that the lord has spoken this over my life.
00:10:21.851 --> 00:10:24.220
And listen, sometimes
00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:25.255
God will give you a dream to save your future.
00:10:25.255 --> 00:10:28.491
There are many examples out of the bible,
00:10:28.491 --> 00:10:29.959
As well as warnings that god gives in a dream
00:10:29.959 --> 00:10:32.629
To protect you, to save your life.
00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:35.865
And so paul receives this dream.
00:10:35.865 --> 00:10:37.701
He says, all right, boys, pack up. let's go.
00:10:37.701 --> 00:10:40.503
Let's go to macedonia.
00:10:40.503 --> 00:10:41.638
We're going to go down there.
00:10:41.638 --> 00:10:42.839
And so they go down to this riverbank and acts chapter 16,
00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:45.175
And they see these women praying by the riverbank.
00:10:45.175 --> 00:10:47.711
So paul is like, you know what i came here to preach.
00:10:47.711 --> 00:10:49.646
That's what i'm going to do.
00:10:49.646 --> 00:10:50.880
And he starts preaching.
00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:52.215
And this woman named lydia
00:10:52.215 --> 00:10:53.883
Listens to every word that he says.
00:10:53.883 --> 00:10:57.253
And so she gives her life to christ.
00:10:57.253 --> 00:10:59.389
This is the first convert in this area.
00:10:59.389 --> 00:11:02.092
Nobody's ever heard the gospel before.
00:11:02.092 --> 00:11:04.994
She gives her life over to jesus.
00:11:04.994 --> 00:11:07.163
It's a revival breaking out.
00:11:07.163 --> 00:11:09.065
Everybody's excited and she's so excited.
00:11:09.065 --> 00:11:11.401
She goes, hey, paul, you got to come over my house.
00:11:11.401 --> 00:11:13.503
We're going to have a party.
00:11:13.503 --> 00:11:15.338
Paul's like, i don't really want to go over your house.
00:11:15.338 --> 00:11:16.973
I could just i could just hear it now.
00:11:16.973 --> 00:11:18.475
He's like, i got other things. she's like, no, no, no.
00:11:18.475 --> 00:11:20.677
I'm not taking no for an answer. you're coming over.
00:11:20.677 --> 00:11:23.079
I'm going to host you guys
00:11:23.079 --> 00:11:24.280
And we're going to celebrate because jesus changed my life.
00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:28.084
And so they started going to her house.
00:11:28.084 --> 00:11:30.920
And it looks like this god moment.
00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:32.722
And it is okay, okay.
00:11:32.722 --> 00:11:35.658
But please
00:11:35.658 --> 00:11:36.926
Remember what i've taught you over and over and over again.
00:11:36.926 --> 00:11:39.829
Sometimes the holy spirit
00:11:39.829 --> 00:11:41.631
Is going to lead you places you don't want to go.
00:11:41.631 --> 00:11:44.801
Sometimes the holy spirit's going to lead you places
00:11:45.869 --> 00:11:47.837
You don't want to go, because god
00:11:47.837 --> 00:11:48.838
Spoke to them in a dream to go to macedonia.
00:11:48.838 --> 00:11:51.107
Somebody's already got and say another, go into lydia's house.
00:11:51.107 --> 00:11:53.409
But on the way to lydia's house, they encounter another woman.
00:11:53.409 --> 00:11:56.412
And this woman is demon possessed.
00:11:56.412 --> 00:11:59.415
And this is when the story completely changes.
00:11:59.415 --> 00:12:02.418
Okay, so for the note takers in the room,
00:12:02.418 --> 00:12:05.288
You can go ahead and write this down.
00:12:05.288 --> 00:12:06.523
Point number one is this not every voice that says god
00:12:06.523 --> 00:12:11.661
Comes from god?
00:12:11.661 --> 00:12:14.297
I'm excited about this message today,
00:12:15.131 --> 00:12:18.101
Because what i'm going to show you in scripture
00:12:18.101 --> 00:12:20.904
Is how to know the voice of god versus
00:12:20.904 --> 00:12:24.941
The lies of the world and the lies of the devil.
00:12:24.941 --> 00:12:28.311
Okay, how do i know when god is speaking to me
00:12:28.311 --> 00:12:31.114
Compared to just people telling me what to do,
00:12:31.114 --> 00:12:34.284
Or even demons speaking to other people?
00:12:34.284 --> 00:12:37.387
So like i said this,
00:12:37.387 --> 00:12:38.488
When the story gets very interesting, follow along.
00:12:38.488 --> 00:12:40.123
Acts 1616 to 18.
00:12:40.123 --> 00:12:43.193
Okay, one day as we were going down to the place of prayer,
00:12:43.193 --> 00:12:46.563
We met a slave girl, though, who had a spirit
00:12:46.563 --> 00:12:50.300
That enabled her to tell the future.
00:12:50.300 --> 00:12:52.969
Now when the bible states this,
00:12:52.969 --> 00:12:55.738
The bible is not stating that demons know the future.
00:12:55.738 --> 00:13:00.109
In fact, this scripture right here is just clarifying
00:13:00.109 --> 00:13:02.879
Her reputation.
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.581
So people knew her as a fortune teller.
00:13:04.581 --> 00:13:07.050
They knew her for telling fortunes of the future.
00:13:07.050 --> 00:13:09.485
So the bible is just making that clear to you right here.
00:13:09.485 --> 00:13:12.288
But demons do not know the future.
00:13:12.288 --> 00:13:14.858
Demons do not know the future.
00:13:14.858 --> 00:13:16.059
Only god knows the future.
00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:17.360
And god is in control of the future.
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.495
Now, maybe one day i'll do a whole lesson on this alone.
00:13:19.495 --> 00:13:23.032
But there can be also familiar spirits.
00:13:23.032 --> 00:13:25.401
What they call they're just demons
00:13:25.401 --> 00:13:27.303
That kind of know what's going on in your life.
00:13:27.303 --> 00:13:29.839
And they'll manipulate people pretending they're
00:13:29.839 --> 00:13:32.275
They're speaking to the dead,
00:13:32.275 --> 00:13:34.310
Speaking to old family members that have left you
00:13:34.310 --> 00:13:36.579
And talk about situations that they've seen in your life.
00:13:36.579 --> 00:13:38.815
It's all demonic.
00:13:38.815 --> 00:13:40.817
You're going to see today that the bible says
00:13:40.817 --> 00:13:42.585
The bible forbids it.
00:13:42.585 --> 00:13:44.120
They don't go towards these things.
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:45.622
It's an open door for demons to manipulate your mind
00:13:45.622 --> 00:13:48.992
And come into your life.
00:13:48.992 --> 00:13:49.893
But she is known for the fortune telling
00:13:49.893 --> 00:13:51.961
And she also now listen to this.
00:13:51.961 --> 00:13:53.229
She earned a lot of money for her masters.
00:13:53.229 --> 00:13:55.932
They're profiting off of her by telling fortunes,
00:13:55.932 --> 00:13:59.202
And she followed paul and the rest of us, shouting.
00:13:59.202 --> 00:14:01.704
Now this is where it gets really interesting.
00:14:01.704 --> 00:14:03.473
She starts shouting, this man,
00:14:03.473 --> 00:14:06.809
Her servants, the most high god
00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:10.847
And some bad, okay?
00:14:11.314 --> 00:14:14.050
And they have come to tell you how to be saved.
00:14:14.050 --> 00:14:17.754
Now i take a second.
00:14:17.754 --> 00:14:20.657
This woman is demon possessed, yet she is saying that
00:14:20.657 --> 00:14:24.994
I'm telling you, it can be very tricky.
00:14:25.795 --> 00:14:27.830
Tricky?
00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:28.965
Sometimes when the enemy is speaking through people.
00:14:28.965 --> 00:14:30.900
Because sometimes it sounds right.
00:14:30.900 --> 00:14:33.336
It sounds like it's from the lord.
00:14:33.336 --> 00:14:35.271
But now listen to this part of the story.
00:14:35.271 --> 00:14:37.040
It went on day after day until paul got so exasperated.
00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:41.978
He got annoyed that he turned
00:14:41.978 --> 00:14:44.113
And said to the demon within her, i command you
00:14:44.113 --> 00:14:47.483
In the name of jesus christ, to come out of her
00:14:47.483 --> 00:14:51.020
And instantly the demon left this woman.
00:14:51.020 --> 00:14:55.458
How did paul know
00:14:55.458 --> 00:14:58.528
That this was a demon speaking through her?
00:14:58.528 --> 00:15:00.296
Okay, so lean in
00:15:00.296 --> 00:15:02.098
Because this story is so important.
00:15:02.865 --> 00:15:04.634
It shows us how to tell the difference
00:15:04.634 --> 00:15:05.902
Between the voice of god and the lies of the enemy.
00:15:05.902 --> 00:15:09.806
Here's the good news that i have for you today.
00:15:09.806 --> 00:15:11.341
Did you know that
00:15:11.341 --> 00:15:12.375
One of the gifts of the holy spirit in your life
00:15:12.375 --> 00:15:15.111
Is discernment?
00:15:15.111 --> 00:15:16.312
Let me let me also be clear on this discernment between
00:15:16.312 --> 00:15:19.349
What is the spirit of god versus what is demonic
00:15:19.349 --> 00:15:23.086
Discernment over what is the spirit of god,
00:15:23.987 --> 00:15:26.522
The voice of god versus what is a demonic spirit?
00:15:26.522 --> 00:15:31.194
First corinthians chapter 12, verse ten.
00:15:31.194 --> 00:15:34.464
He talking about the holy spirit,
00:15:34.464 --> 00:15:36.099
Gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message
00:15:36.099 --> 00:15:41.404
Is from the spirit of god or from another spirit.
00:15:41.404 --> 00:15:46.776
All right.
00:15:47.076 --> 00:15:47.944
This is why i want to bring this up,
00:15:47.944 --> 00:15:48.945
Because i've had so many people come up to me
00:15:48.945 --> 00:15:51.914
And they're like, pastor, i got on brag,
00:15:51.914 --> 00:15:56.052
But i have the gift of discernment,
00:15:56.853 --> 00:15:59.322
Okay, gift of discernment.
00:15:59.322 --> 00:16:01.791
And i'm just telling you right
00:16:01.791 --> 00:16:02.792
Now, that person over there, something's off.
00:16:02.792 --> 00:16:05.361
Something's off right.
00:16:05.361 --> 00:16:08.064
It is not the gift of assumption.
00:16:08.064 --> 00:16:10.299
Okay?
00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:13.036
Please hear me on this.
00:16:13.036 --> 00:16:13.970
It's not the gift of, like, i'm
00:16:13.970 --> 00:16:16.039
Going to
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:16.406
I'm going
00:16:16.406 --> 00:16:17.106
To put my agenda into your mind
00:16:17.106 --> 00:16:18.207
So that you don't like the person that i don't like,
00:16:18.207 --> 00:16:20.476
Or this person keeps showing up.
00:16:20.476 --> 00:16:21.711
I feel like something's off with them.
00:16:21.711 --> 00:16:23.112
I got the i got the gift of discernment.
00:16:23.112 --> 00:16:25.415
I just don't know about them.
00:16:25.415 --> 00:16:27.316
No, no, no, it's not about your assumptions.
00:16:27.316 --> 00:16:30.453
It's not about reading people.
00:16:30.453 --> 00:16:32.288
It's about recognizing spirits.
00:16:32.288 --> 00:16:35.458
Let me say that again.
00:16:35.458 --> 00:16:36.125
It's not about reading people.
00:16:36.125 --> 00:16:38.061
It's about recognizing spirits.
00:16:38.061 --> 00:16:41.230
Okay. let me also share another story with you.
00:16:41.230 --> 00:16:43.132
And i'm not trying to scare you.
00:16:43.132 --> 00:16:45.635
Don't ever be scared of these things.
00:16:45.635 --> 00:16:46.869
I don't usually share stories like this,
00:16:46.869 --> 00:16:49.072
But i think it's relevant for the sermon.
00:16:49.072 --> 00:16:50.840
About a couple years ago,
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.542
There are two ladies that walked into this church.
00:16:52.542 --> 00:16:54.844
Something was off and
00:16:55.344 --> 00:16:56.579
I could tell immediately the way that they spoke to me,
00:16:56.579 --> 00:16:59.615
The way that they would look into my eyes,
00:17:00.516 --> 00:17:03.586
Some of the things that they said were off
00:17:03.586 --> 00:17:05.555
And they said that they would like to talk after service.
00:17:05.555 --> 00:17:07.523
And so i thought maybe they needed some prayer.
00:17:07.523 --> 00:17:09.559
And i try to do that the best that i can.
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.261
And so i started talking to them and immediately,
00:17:12.261 --> 00:17:15.098
One of the lady said, i am a prophetess.
00:17:15.098 --> 00:17:17.600
And i had the gift of discernment.
00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:19.502
So, you know, in my head it's like red flag, right?
00:17:19.502 --> 00:17:21.904
They're like, okay, what are you going to say?
00:17:21.904 --> 00:17:24.040
She also started to state that she she speaks like moses.
00:17:24.040 --> 00:17:27.343
And, she needs to cleanse this church and cleanse me.
00:17:27.343 --> 00:17:30.913
And at this point i'm like, all right,
00:17:30.913 --> 00:17:32.415
Let's let's go
00:17:32.415 --> 00:17:33.616
Where we're leaving now
00:17:33.616 --> 00:17:34.917
Because i can recognize that this is demonic.
00:17:34.917 --> 00:17:37.220
And before they left, i was like, you know what?
00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:38.888
I'm gonna i'm gonna do this anyway. i'm gonna pray over you.
00:17:38.888 --> 00:17:41.090
And then they wanted to pray over me and i'm like,
00:17:41.090 --> 00:17:43.292
No, no, no, i'm gonna pray over you.
00:17:43.292 --> 00:17:44.327
And it's like this prayer war
00:17:44.327 --> 00:17:45.828
Going on, and i'm just like, in the name of jesus, you know?
00:17:45.828 --> 00:17:49.765
And i start praying over one of them.
00:17:49.765 --> 00:17:51.534
Now i have my eyes closed,
00:17:51.534 --> 00:17:53.569
But one of the leaders here at the church said
00:17:53.569 --> 00:17:56.038
That the other woman was physically becoming super angry.
00:17:56.038 --> 00:17:59.242
As i was praying over the other one,
00:17:59.242 --> 00:18:01.310
She even said that,
00:18:01.310 --> 00:18:02.778
The the eyes of the woman that
00:18:02.778 --> 00:18:04.213
Was praying over was kind of going up a little bit,
00:18:04.213 --> 00:18:06.582
And come to find out, these two women were actually witches.
00:18:06.582 --> 00:18:10.253
And because i would not allow them
00:18:10.987 --> 00:18:12.855
To do what they wanted to do
00:18:12.855 --> 00:18:13.890
Here, they curse the church in my family.
00:18:13.890 --> 00:18:17.927
But listen, the blood of christ runs thick in this place,
00:18:17.927 --> 00:18:21.898
And the blood of christ runs thick over my family.
00:18:21.898 --> 00:18:25.701
Without going into details, it was a spiritual battle, though.
00:18:25.701 --> 00:18:28.804
It was a scary situation, and we saw
00:18:29.605 --> 00:18:32.275
God do a miracle in my family, especially for my children.
00:18:32.275 --> 00:18:35.811
Okay, so let me also encourage you pray for your pastors
00:18:35.811 --> 00:18:39.348
Because you never know what they're going
00:18:39.348 --> 00:18:40.716
Through behind closed doors
00:18:40.716 --> 00:18:42.952
Or the spiritual warfare that they're dealing with.
00:18:42.952 --> 00:18:45.922
Okay, now that i got your curiosity going,
00:18:45.922 --> 00:18:49.392
I just want you to be aware
00:18:49.392 --> 00:18:50.660
There's going to be a lot of people
00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:51.794
That will come into your life and say, you know what?
00:18:51.794 --> 00:18:53.196
I have to get to the sermon,
00:18:53.196 --> 00:18:54.730
And you need to be
00:18:55.164 --> 00:18:56.232
Aware when somebody's speaking by a demon, okay?
00:18:56.232 --> 00:18:59.735
Because what they want to do is bring division
00:18:59.735 --> 00:19:01.971
And heartache into your life.
00:19:01.971 --> 00:19:03.472
They want to hurt you.
00:19:03.472 --> 00:19:04.807
Listen to this first john chapter four, verse one.
00:19:04.807 --> 00:19:07.009
Dear friends, do not believe everyone
00:19:07.009 --> 00:19:11.881
Who claims to speak by the spirit.
00:19:11.881 --> 00:19:15.585
Be cautious of those that come into your life
00:19:15.585 --> 00:19:17.720
And say, i hear from god, so you need to do this.
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.691
I know jesus, and so you need to do this with your life, okay?
00:19:21.691 --> 00:19:26.062
But you must test them to see if the spirit
00:19:26.062 --> 00:19:28.965
They have comes from god. why?
00:19:28.965 --> 00:19:32.501
Because there are many false prophets in the world.
00:19:32.501 --> 00:19:37.607
Meaning not everyone who sounds spiritual is speaking truth.
00:19:37.607 --> 00:19:42.878
I'm going to show you another kind of short
00:19:42.878 --> 00:19:45.147
Example out of the old testament in first kings chapter 22.
00:19:45.147 --> 00:19:49.018
You don't have to turn there. it will be on the screen.
00:19:49.018 --> 00:19:51.254
But in first kings chapter 22, there's a king named ahab.
00:19:51.254 --> 00:19:54.590
He is a ruthless, evil king of israel.
00:19:54.590 --> 00:19:56.926
He's married to queen jezebel.
00:19:56.926 --> 00:19:58.227
You probably heard of that name before,
00:19:58.227 --> 00:20:00.196
And he has killed many of the prophets of god.
00:20:00.196 --> 00:20:03.232
He doesn't like it when prophets speak out against him,
00:20:03.232 --> 00:20:05.501
So they've murdered many.
00:20:05.501 --> 00:20:07.036
When now king ahab is in a situation,
00:20:07.036 --> 00:20:09.538
He's about to fight the king of assyria.
00:20:09.538 --> 00:20:12.475
So he reaches out to the king of judah
00:20:12.475 --> 00:20:14.210
To help him, jehoshaphat.
00:20:14.210 --> 00:20:16.145
And he says, hey, bro, let's let's go into this together.
00:20:16.145 --> 00:20:19.215
We're going to fight this battle
00:20:19.215 --> 00:20:20.149
Together, and we're going to see victory.
00:20:20.149 --> 00:20:22.585
He says, you know what?
00:20:22.585 --> 00:20:23.552
I'm going to call my boys got 400 of them.
00:20:23.552 --> 00:20:26.722
I'm gonna call them in.
00:20:26.722 --> 00:20:27.957
I'm asked my prophets, hey, are we going to win this battle?
00:20:27.957 --> 00:20:30.726
Here's what happened.
00:20:30.726 --> 00:20:32.261
Verse kings 22, verse six.
00:20:32.261 --> 00:20:34.597
So the king of israel summoned the prophets,
00:20:34.597 --> 00:20:37.033
About 400 of them, and asked them,
00:20:37.033 --> 00:20:38.901
Should i go to war against ray
00:20:38.901 --> 00:20:40.636
Smith, goliad, or should i hold back?
00:20:40.636 --> 00:20:44.373
And they all replied, yes, go right ahead
00:20:44.373 --> 00:20:48.611
And the lord will give the king victory.
00:20:48.611 --> 00:20:51.947
So my mind, i'm imagining this are probably all clapping
00:20:51.947 --> 00:20:54.317
Like, you got this. now you got this thinking.
00:20:54.317 --> 00:20:56.686
It's like the wwe he's walking in like ready to go
00:20:56.686 --> 00:20:59.922
And he's going to see victory.
00:20:59.922 --> 00:21:01.290
But joseph, that the king of judah
00:21:01.290 --> 00:21:04.860
I kind of wonder if he like kind of
00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:05.861
Crossed his arms a little bit
00:21:05.861 --> 00:21:07.096
And was like, i don't believe any of these people.
00:21:08.130 --> 00:21:11.100
I don't care
00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:12.201
If you got a big group of people saying the same thing,
00:21:12.201 --> 00:21:14.670
They're not hearing from the lord.
00:21:14.670 --> 00:21:17.139
Be cautious of that.
00:21:17.139 --> 00:21:19.075
Make sure you hear from god before you hear just
00:21:19.075 --> 00:21:22.011
From a big group of people telling you what to do.
00:21:22.011 --> 00:21:25.815
And joseph is like, you know what?
00:21:25.815 --> 00:21:27.817
And like the question
00:21:27.817 --> 00:21:29.251
That he asked, though, he says to king ahab,
00:21:29.251 --> 00:21:31.520
He goes, don't you have at least one prophet?
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:34.590
Like, isn't there like one prophet of the lord here?
00:21:34.590 --> 00:21:38.027
And literally this is what king ahab says to him.
00:21:38.027 --> 00:21:41.430
He says, yeah, i don't like him.
00:21:41.430 --> 00:21:44.600
I mean, he always speaks things i don't like.
00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:46.702
He's he's mean.
00:21:46.702 --> 00:21:47.970
And every time i
00:21:47.970 --> 00:21:49.071
Show him up
00:21:49.071 --> 00:21:50.306
Or have him show up, he doesn't say the things that i like.
00:21:50.306 --> 00:21:53.476
Right.
00:21:53.676 --> 00:21:54.377
This is literally what he said.
00:21:54.377 --> 00:21:55.911
He said, i don't like to be around this prophet
00:21:55.911 --> 00:21:58.748
Because he never says anything nice about me.
00:21:58.748 --> 00:22:02.151
But call him anyway.
00:22:02.151 --> 00:22:04.053
And so
00:22:04.253 --> 00:22:05.721
They reach out to the true prophet name micaiah,
00:22:05.721 --> 00:22:08.824
And i want you to hear what he reveals.
00:22:09.625 --> 00:22:10.826
Now, this is really cool because not only is
00:22:10.826 --> 00:22:13.095
He speaking from the lord, he's giving us a glimpse
00:22:13.095 --> 00:22:16.432
Of the spiritual world.
00:22:16.932 --> 00:22:18.801
And here's what he states.
00:22:18.801 --> 00:22:19.668
He says, listen to what the lord says.
00:22:19.668 --> 00:22:22.538
I saw the lord sitting on his throne
00:22:22.538 --> 00:22:25.975
With all of armies of heaven around him,
00:22:26.842 --> 00:22:29.945
On his right and on his left.
00:22:29.945 --> 00:22:32.815
Also want you to understand that
00:22:32.815 --> 00:22:34.517
This is a heavenly courtroom right here.
00:22:34.517 --> 00:22:37.753
This is not a paradise.
00:22:38.254 --> 00:22:39.455
This is a heavenly courtroom because you're going to see
00:22:39.455 --> 00:22:41.257
Demons appear. okay?
00:22:41.257 --> 00:22:44.026
And then the lord said, who can entice king ahab
00:22:44.026 --> 00:22:49.098
To go into battle against raymond khalid
00:22:49.098 --> 00:22:51.834
So that he can be killed?
00:22:51.834 --> 00:22:53.769
There are many suggestions.
00:22:53.769 --> 00:22:55.971
And finally, a spirit.
00:22:55.971 --> 00:22:57.740
Now this is a demon.
00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:59.642
A spirit approached the lord
00:23:00.242 --> 00:23:01.577
And said, i, i can do it.
00:23:01.577 --> 00:23:05.147
How will you do this?
00:23:05.648 --> 00:23:06.949
The lord asked.
00:23:06.949 --> 00:23:07.917
Now i also wanted to explain this as well.
00:23:07.917 --> 00:23:10.619
When god asked how it wasn't
00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:13.856
Out of curiosity, okay, it was control.
00:23:13.856 --> 00:23:17.860
When god asked how it's not out of curiosity
00:23:17.860 --> 00:23:20.496
Because he already knows what you're going to do, you're
00:23:20.496 --> 00:23:22.131
Going to see that in the text very soon.
00:23:22.131 --> 00:23:24.033
He knows what he was going to do.
00:23:24.033 --> 00:23:24.967
He knows how it's all going to unfold again.
00:23:24.967 --> 00:23:26.869
God knows the future.
00:23:26.869 --> 00:23:28.504
But he's asking how, because the demons, even demons,
00:23:28.504 --> 00:23:31.807
Have to submit their plans to his authority, right?
00:23:31.807 --> 00:23:35.978
If you're a parent in the room, maybe you're going to ask
00:23:35.978 --> 00:23:39.315
Your child a question.
00:23:39.315 --> 00:23:41.116
You already know their answer,
00:23:41.116 --> 00:23:42.618
And they think it's going to be easy.
00:23:42.618 --> 00:23:43.853
You know, it's going to be more difficult.
00:23:43.853 --> 00:23:44.987
So when they tell you their answer,
00:23:44.987 --> 00:23:46.922
Sometimes you may say, all right, but how?
00:23:46.922 --> 00:23:49.692
You already know what they're going to say.
00:23:50.593 --> 00:23:52.862
You're still in control.
00:23:52.862 --> 00:23:54.630
You're still the one that's going
00:23:54.630 --> 00:23:55.798
To give wisdom and guidance.
00:23:55.798 --> 00:23:57.533
But when you ask how you want to see if they can understand
00:23:57.533 --> 00:24:01.437
What they need to do, so god has how
00:24:01.437 --> 00:24:04.707
Now listen to this,
00:24:04.707 --> 00:24:07.142
The spirit replied, i will go out and inspire
00:24:07.142 --> 00:24:11.914
All of ahab's prophets to speak
00:24:11.914 --> 00:24:15.951
Lies all 400 of them.
00:24:15.951 --> 00:24:18.687
I'm going to speak lies through the mouth.
00:24:18.687 --> 00:24:21.056
And god says, it's how we know. god knows the future.
00:24:21.056 --> 00:24:23.225
You will succeed, said the lord.
00:24:23.225 --> 00:24:26.061
Go ahead and do it.
00:24:26.061 --> 00:24:27.663
So you see, the lord is putting lying
00:24:27.663 --> 00:24:31.133
Spirits in the mouth of all your prophets,
00:24:31.133 --> 00:24:34.403
For the lord has has pronounced your doom.
00:24:34.403 --> 00:24:37.907
Now he's speaking from god.
00:24:37.907 --> 00:24:40.109
But remember, it's very hard sometimes to speak the truth.
00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:43.078
People don't like the truth.
00:24:43.078 --> 00:24:44.480
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:24:45.548 --> 00:24:47.950
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:24:47.950 --> 00:24:51.687
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:24:51.687 --> 00:24:54.223
It's not by mistake.
00:24:54.223 --> 00:24:55.691
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:24:55.691 --> 00:24:59.595
And listen, if you love this church
00:24:59.595 --> 00:25:01.730
And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
00:25:01.730 --> 00:25:04.667
Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
00:25:04.667 --> 00:25:08.571
And it's very easy to give.
00:25:08.571 --> 00:25:10.072
And once you give, listen, you're helping change lives.
00:25:10.072 --> 00:25:13.642
Because of your faithful giving, we're able to reach
00:25:13.642 --> 00:25:16.612
Not only the nation, but the world.
00:25:16.612 --> 00:25:19.315
We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:25:19.315 --> 00:25:21.784
Into everyone's home as much as we can,
00:25:21.784 --> 00:25:25.220
So that they know the love of god.
00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:28.190
And listen.
00:25:28.190 --> 00:25:29.325

So thank you for watching today
00:25:36.498 --> 00:25:38.834
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:25:38.834 --> 00:25:41.837
All right,
00:25:41.837 --> 00:25:42.771
Before you go, i got one more announcement
00:25:42.771 --> 00:25:43.906
To make, and this one's a big one.
00:25:43.906 --> 00:25:45.541
Okay.
00:25:45.541 --> 00:25:45.908
This year
00:25:45.908 --> 00:25:46.675
We held our very
00:25:46.675 --> 00:25:47.743
First awaking conference in hickory, north carolina
00:25:47.743 --> 00:25:51.013
For authentic church.
00:25:51.013 --> 00:25:52.247
And we saw
00:25:52.247 --> 00:25:53.415
People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
00:25:53.415 --> 00:25:57.252
And even outside of the country
00:25:57.252 --> 00:25:58.954
To experience what god is doing here.
00:25:58.954 --> 00:26:01.223
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:26:01.223 --> 00:26:06.595
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:26:06.595 --> 00:26:09.465
And if you want to look into more details
00:26:09.465 --> 00:26:11.834
Over the conference,
00:26:11.834 --> 00:26:12.801
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:26:12.801 --> 00:26:14.570
In fact, here's a recap video to show you with all god did.
00:26:14.570 --> 00:26:18.207
We have faith and we?
00:26:18.707 --> 00:26:30.919
Need.
00:26:31.153 --> 00:26:42.464
And the
00:26:42.698 --> 00:26:43.499
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:26:43.499 --> 00:26:46.435
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus
00:26:46.435 --> 00:26:50.239
The man, the gospel message is all about
00:26:50.239 --> 00:26:54.143
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:26:54.143 --> 00:26:58.414
Who inform your methods of getting to know the man.
00:26:58.414 --> 00:27:31.647
This this job doesn't work out for me.
00:27:32.481 --> 00:27:34.883
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:27:34.883 --> 00:27:38.620
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:27:38.620 --> 00:27:41.523
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:27:41.523 --> 00:27:44.426
But i would rather move by faith
00:27:44.426 --> 00:27:46.261
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:27:46.261 --> 00:27:50.132
And i ended up exactly.
00:27:50.132 --> 00:27:51.366
Where i needed to be.
00:27:51.366 --> 00:28:22.865
You know what?
00:28:23.198 --> 00:28:23.632
Today is
00:28:23.632 --> 00:28:25.234
Pentecost.
00:28:25.234 --> 00:28:26.101
Sunday.
00:28:26.101 --> 00:28:28.837
Pentecost sunday.
00:28:28.837 --> 00:28:32.074
Woo! you better
00:28:32.441 --> 00:28:34.443
Not ask a holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:28:34.443 --> 00:28:38.213
I came here to remind you
00:28:38.781 --> 00:28:40.582
You need the holy spirit.
00:28:40.582 --> 00:28:40.582
