  • Again to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:16.706 --> 00:00:19.142
  • For the past few weeks, we've been looking about the four
  • 00:00:19.142 --> 00:00:22.178
  • Different conduits through which god pours the power of
  • 00:00:22.178 --> 00:00:26.349
  • His holy spirit into our lives.
  • 00:00:26.349 --> 00:00:28.685
  • And just as there are things that hasten his power, there are
  • 00:00:28.685 --> 00:00:32.522
  • Things that we do that hinder god's power.
  • 00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:35.792
  • So, today, i'm going to describe what i call
  • 00:00:35.792 --> 00:00:38.394
  • Four "spirit-quenchers."
  • 00:00:38.394 --> 00:00:40.763
  • Now, a quick word of caution.
  • 00:00:40.763 --> 00:00:43.133

  • Marital intimacy that may not be suitable for everyone, so please

  • Be a mystery to believers.
  • 00:01:11.995 --> 00:01:14.197

  • 00:01:40.256 --> 00:01:45.895
  • Jeffress: my grandfather grew up in a small town north of here of
  • 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:49.265
  • About 5000 people, and he always told us stories about growing up
  • 00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:53.169
  • In this small town.
  • 00:01:53.169 --> 00:01:54.771
  • And one of the stories he told us was about a rash of fires
  • 00:01:54.771 --> 00:01:57.807
  • That hit the city.
  • 00:01:57.807 --> 00:01:59.275
  • On a regular basis, the residents were awakened to the
  • 00:01:59.275 --> 00:02:02.045
  • Shrill sound of a fire engine racing to a fire.
  • 00:02:02.045 --> 00:02:05.515
  • Fortunately, they had a very dedicated fire chief who was
  • 00:02:05.515 --> 00:02:09.018
  • Always there, working to put out the fire.
  • 00:02:09.018 --> 00:02:12.088
  • One night, the telephone rang in the middle of the evening and
  • 00:02:12.088 --> 00:02:15.091
  • Awakened my grandfather, telling him that his own dry goods
  • 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:18.728
  • Business was on fire.
  • 00:02:18.728 --> 00:02:20.663
  • And so he got dressed as quickly as he could, he went down to his
  • 00:02:20.663 --> 00:02:24.801
  • Business, saw it engulfed in flames, and there was the fire
  • 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:28.438
  • Chief and the firemen, and my grandfather worked the hose with
  • 00:02:28.438 --> 00:02:31.241
  • The fire chief to try to salvage what was left of his business.
  • 00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:35.545
  • Finally, after a series of investigations, the cause of
  • 00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:40.016
  • This rash of fires was determined.
  • 00:02:40.016 --> 00:02:42.619
  • It wasn't faulty wiring, it wasn't a group of delinquent
  • 00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:46.022
  • Teenagers, it was discovered that the fire chief himself was
  • 00:02:46.022 --> 00:02:51.394
  • Setting the fires.
  • 00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:53.263
  • He was a pyromaniac who actually would go and start the fires and
  • 00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:57.900
  • Then work to put out the fires.
  • 00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:01.604
  • Now, you can hardly imagine anything more ludicrous.
  • 00:03:01.604 --> 00:03:04.841
  • Somebody working to start a fire and then working feverishly to
  • 00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:09.712
  • Put out that fire.
  • 00:03:09.712 --> 00:03:11.247
  • It's hard to imagine anything more idiotic until you look at
  • 00:03:11.247 --> 00:03:16.185
  • Your own life.
  • 00:03:16.185 --> 00:03:18.354
  • You know, in this series on the holy spirit, we've been talking
  • 00:03:18.354 --> 00:03:21.457
  • About what we can do to ignite the power of the holy spirit in
  • 00:03:21.457 --> 00:03:25.628
  • Our lives.
  • 00:03:25.628 --> 00:03:26.963
  • We've said that god has provided the heat, that is the
  • 00:03:26.963 --> 00:03:30.033
  • Holy spirit of god the moment we trust in christ as our savior.
  • 00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:33.336
  • But you know, a fire needs two things, it needs heat
  • 00:03:33.336 --> 00:03:36.005
  • And energy.
  • 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:37.507
  • God has supplied the heat, we have to supply the energy.
  • 00:03:37.507 --> 00:03:41.577
  • And in this series, we've said there are four combustibles that
  • 00:03:41.577 --> 00:03:45.081
  • God uses in our life to ignite the spirit's flame in our life.
  • 00:03:45.081 --> 00:03:49.619
  • Combustible number one is the word of god, the bible.
  • 00:03:49.619 --> 00:03:52.622
  • That's one energy source for the christian.
  • 00:03:52.622 --> 00:03:55.425
  • Combustible number two is conversation with god, prayer.
  • 00:03:55.425 --> 00:03:59.262
  • Combustible number three we looked at last week was the
  • 00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:01.964
  • People of god, that is the church.
  • 00:04:01.964 --> 00:04:03.866
  • And today we're going to look at the fourth combustible, and that
  • 00:04:03.866 --> 00:04:07.737
  • Is obedience to god.
  • 00:04:07.737 --> 00:04:10.707
  • And yet, here we work with god to put this fire, to get this
  • 00:04:10.707 --> 00:04:14.577
  • Fire of his power and his spirit going on inside of us, and then
  • 00:04:14.577 --> 00:04:18.848
  • We who are the ones who start the fire, many times we're the
  • 00:04:18.848 --> 00:04:22.985
  • Very ones who extinguish the fire by our own disobedience
  • 00:04:22.985 --> 00:04:27.490
  • To god.
  • 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:28.858
  • And i think it's that phenomenon that god had in mind when,
  • 00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:31.961
  • Through the apostle paul, he wrote, in 1 thessalonians 5:19,
  • 00:04:31.961 --> 00:04:36.532
  • "do not quench the holy spirit of god."
  • 00:04:36.532 --> 00:04:41.871
  • Don't put out the flame of god's spirit in your life.
  • 00:04:41.871 --> 00:04:46.876
  • That's what he's talking about, quenching the flame, the power
  • 00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:51.147
  • Of the holy spirit of god.
  • 00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:52.949
  • How do we do that?
  • 00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:54.384
  • Well, today, we're going to talk about four spirit-quenchers to
  • 00:04:54.384 --> 00:04:58.287
  • Avoid if you want to keep the power of the holy spirit burning
  • 00:04:58.287 --> 00:05:02.125
  • Brightly in your life.
  • 00:05:02.125 --> 00:05:03.526
  • If you have your bibles, i want you to turn to 1 corinthians
  • 00:05:03.526 --> 00:05:06.095
  • Chapter 6, as we look at the four spirit-quenchers every
  • 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:11.100
  • Christian needs to avoid.
  • 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.703
  • This whole series is built around the premise that you want
  • 00:05:13.703 --> 00:05:17.106
  • More in your relationship with god, i know i do.
  • 00:05:17.106 --> 00:05:20.042
  • You want more of god's power in your life.
  • 00:05:20.042 --> 00:05:22.979
  • Well, the way to experience more of god's power in your life is
  • 00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:27.016
  • To avoid the spirit-quenchers.
  • 00:05:27.016 --> 00:05:29.419
  • And spirit number-- spirit-quencher number one that
  • 00:05:29.419 --> 00:05:32.355
  • Is mentioned here is immorality.
  • 00:05:32.355 --> 00:05:35.625
  • Immorality will extinguish the power of god's spirit in
  • 00:05:35.625 --> 00:05:39.996
  • Your life.
  • 00:05:39.996 --> 00:05:41.330
  • Look at 1 corinthians 6:18 to 20.
  • 00:05:41.330 --> 00:05:43.733
  • You know, by the way, before we look at that, have you ever
  • 00:05:43.733 --> 00:05:46.169
  • Heard people say, "all sin is the same to god.
  • 00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:51.107
  • God doesn't grade sin.
  • 00:05:51.107 --> 00:05:53.009
  • All sin is the same in god's eyes."
  • 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:54.844
  • Have you ever heard that before?
  • 00:05:54.844 --> 00:05:56.879
  • Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.515
  • Now, it's true that any sin is sufficient to separate you and
  • 00:05:59.515 --> 00:06:04.487
  • Me from god, okay?
  • 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:06.589
  • All sin separates us from god, but there are some sins that
  • 00:06:06.589 --> 00:06:11.127
  • Have more serious consequences than other sins.
  • 00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:14.997
  • You know, nobody has ever gone to prison for harboring hateful
  • 00:06:14.997 --> 00:06:17.834
  • Thoughts to another person.
  • 00:06:17.834 --> 00:06:20.136
  • Hate is wrong, but you don't go to prison for that.
  • 00:06:20.136 --> 00:06:22.472
  • Nobody has ever sat in the electric chair for not paying
  • 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.874
  • Their income tax.
  • 00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:26.309
  • I mean, the fact is, there are some transgressions that have
  • 00:06:26.309 --> 00:06:30.012
  • More consequences in this life than others.
  • 00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:32.882
  • The same is true with god.
  • 00:06:32.882 --> 00:06:35.318
  • Yes, all sin can separate us from god, but there is some sin
  • 00:06:35.318 --> 00:06:39.222
  • That has more consequence to it than others, and number one at
  • 00:06:39.222 --> 00:06:43.059
  • The list, at the top of the list of sins that have greater
  • 00:06:43.059 --> 00:06:46.062
  • Consequences than others is the sin of immorality.
  • 00:06:46.062 --> 00:06:49.866
  • Look at what paul says in 1 corinthians 6, beginning with
  • 00:06:49.866 --> 00:06:52.768
  • Verse 18, paul says, "flee immorality, for every other sin
  • 00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:59.275
  • That a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man
  • 00:06:59.275 --> 00:07:04.614
  • Sins against his own body."
  • 00:07:04.614 --> 00:07:06.916
  • Now that word, immortality-- immorality is "porneia"
  • 00:07:06.916 --> 00:07:12.455
  • In greek.
  • 00:07:12.455 --> 00:07:13.823
  • We get our word "pornography" from it.
  • 00:07:13.823 --> 00:07:16.092
  • It is an umbrella term that describes any sexual activity
  • 00:07:16.092 --> 00:07:20.863
  • Outside of marriage.
  • 00:07:20.863 --> 00:07:22.198
  • It could be fornication, that is pre-marital sex.
  • 00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:25.668
  • I hear that there are a lot of christians who are single adults
  • 00:07:25.668 --> 00:07:30.306
  • Who say, "well, you know, where does it say in the bible, 'you
  • 00:07:30.306 --> 00:07:32.909
  • Can't have sex before you're married?'"
  • 00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:34.777
  • Anytime the bible talks about fornication, it's talking about
  • 00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:38.047
  • Sex before marriage.
  • 00:07:38.047 --> 00:07:39.949
  • The bible, over and over again, says, "flee fornication," that
  • 00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:43.986
  • Is sex before marriage.
  • 00:07:43.986 --> 00:07:46.255
  • Adultery, sex with somebody else in the marriage relationship.
  • 00:07:46.255 --> 00:07:50.860
  • Homosexuality, pornography, all of those are a form
  • 00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:56.132
  • Of immorality.
  • 00:07:56.132 --> 00:07:57.667
  • God's not against sex, he thought it up, it's his idea!
  • 00:07:57.667 --> 00:08:01.137
  • But he said the way the sexual relationship works the best is
  • 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:04.840
  • Within the security of the marriage relationship.
  • 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:08.010
  • So he says, "flee immorality," and notice how he makes the
  • 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.680
  • Distinction between immorality and every other sin.
  • 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.183
  • He said, "every other sin," covetousness, hatred, lying,
  • 00:08:14.183 --> 00:08:20.289
  • Stealing, all of those sins "a man commits outside the body,
  • 00:08:20.289 --> 00:08:25.161
  • But the immoral man sins against his own body.
  • 00:08:25.161 --> 00:08:28.230
  • Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the
  • 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:31.334
  • Holy spirit who is in you, whom you have from god, and that you
  • 00:08:31.334 --> 00:08:35.037
  • Are not your own?
  • 00:08:35.037 --> 00:08:36.505
  • For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify god in
  • 00:08:36.505 --> 00:08:41.344
  • Your body."
  • 00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:43.079
  • Immorality is in a special category all of its own.
  • 00:08:43.079 --> 00:08:47.617
  • And there's certainly physical consequences to immorality,
  • 00:08:47.617 --> 00:08:50.620
  • Aids, stds.
  • 00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:52.989
  • There are emotional consequences to having sex outside the
  • 00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:57.326
  • Marriage relationship.
  • 00:08:57.326 --> 00:08:58.694
  • There is a bond you form with that other person that is very,
  • 00:08:58.694 --> 00:09:02.131
  • Very difficult to break.
  • 00:09:02.131 --> 00:09:04.500
  • But there are also spiritual consequences to immorality that
  • 00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:08.270
  • Are unlike any other spiritual consequences to any other sin.
  • 00:09:08.270 --> 00:09:13.275
  • Because, you see, when you commit immorality, you're not
  • 00:09:13.275 --> 00:09:16.379
  • Sinning outside the body, you're sinning with your body.
  • 00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.081
  • You say, "well, what's the big deal about that?"
  • 00:09:19.081 --> 00:09:21.150
  • He says, "for you do you not know that your body is the
  • 00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:24.987
  • Temple of the holy spirit."
  • 00:09:24.987 --> 00:09:28.190
  • Immorality quenches the spirit's presence in your life.
  • 00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:34.797
  • Now, i'm about to paint a very disgusting word picture, but
  • 00:09:34.797 --> 00:09:39.702
  • It's necessary for you to understand exactly what paul is
  • 00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:44.073
  • Saying here.
  • 00:09:44.073 --> 00:09:45.608
  • For those of you who are married.
  • 00:09:45.608 --> 00:09:48.277
  • I want you to imagine being forced to watch your mate have
  • 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:53.282
  • Sex with another person.
  • 00:09:53.282 --> 00:09:58.087
  • For those of you who are parents, i want you to imagine
  • 00:09:58.087 --> 00:10:00.656
  • Being forced to watch your teenage child have sex
  • 00:10:00.656 --> 00:10:04.293
  • With someone.
  • 00:10:04.293 --> 00:10:06.962
  • Can you imagine anything more disgusting?
  • 00:10:06.962 --> 00:10:10.132
  • Only the sickest voyeur would find any pleasure in that.
  • 00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:15.404
  • Why, if you were placed in front of that situation, if you were
  • 00:10:15.404 --> 00:10:18.641
  • Able, you would run out of the room as quickly as possible.
  • 00:10:18.641 --> 00:10:24.246
  • And yet, when you as a christian, who has the
  • 00:10:24.246 --> 00:10:27.650
  • Holy spirit of god in you, when you engage in immorality, you're
  • 00:10:27.650 --> 00:10:32.788
  • Not only asking the holy spirit to watch you commit that act,
  • 00:10:32.788 --> 00:10:37.860
  • You're actually asking him to participate in that act
  • 00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:41.697
  • With you.
  • 00:10:41.697 --> 00:10:43.766
  • So the next time you're tempted by premarital sex, by adultery,
  • 00:10:43.766 --> 00:10:51.674
  • By sitting in front of a computer screen watching
  • 00:10:51.674 --> 00:10:55.377
  • Pornographic images, i want you to imagine yourself saying,
  • 00:10:55.377 --> 00:11:00.216
  • "holy spirit of god, i want you to sit here with me and watch
  • 00:11:00.216 --> 00:11:03.519
  • This with me."
  • 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.721
  • "holy spirit of god, i want you to have sex with this person,
  • 00:11:05.721 --> 00:11:09.859
  • As well."
  • 00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:11.227
  • "i want you to join me in this immoral activity."
  • 00:11:11.227 --> 00:11:16.031
  • That's what he's talking about.
  • 00:11:16.031 --> 00:11:18.067
  • Every other sin is outside the body, immorality is with your
  • 00:11:18.067 --> 00:11:22.571
  • Own body, and more importantly, with the holy spirit of god.
  • 00:11:22.571 --> 00:11:25.975
  • What is the remedy to that kind of immorality that quenches the
  • 00:11:25.975 --> 00:11:30.379
  • Presence of god's spirit?
  • 00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:33.182
  • You see, the fact is, the holy spirit, in a theological
  • 00:11:33.182 --> 00:11:36.218
  • Sense, doesn't leave you, but whenever you ask him to
  • 00:11:36.218 --> 00:11:40.022
  • Participate in a sexual activity with you, i guarantee you he's
  • 00:11:40.022 --> 00:11:44.493
  • Not gonna hang around.
  • 00:11:44.493 --> 00:11:45.961
  • He is gonna get out of there as quickly as possible.
  • 00:11:45.961 --> 00:11:49.165
  • So in a very practical sense, you lose the presence of the
  • 00:11:49.165 --> 00:11:53.435
  • Holy spirit in your life whenever you engage
  • 00:11:53.435 --> 00:11:56.705
  • In immorality.
  • 00:11:56.705 --> 00:11:58.474
  • What's the remedy to that?
  • 00:11:58.474 --> 00:11:59.809
  • Notice what he says here, "it's the realization," he says in
  • 00:11:59.809 --> 00:12:03.078
  • Verse 19, "that you are not your own.
  • 00:12:03.078 --> 00:12:06.615
  • You have been bought with a price."
  • 00:12:06.615 --> 00:12:09.318
  • You're not free to do with your body whatever you want to do
  • 00:12:09.318 --> 00:12:12.555
  • With it, because you have been bought with a price.
  • 00:12:12.555 --> 00:12:15.424
  • That word "bought," the word "redeemed" had a special meaning
  • 00:12:15.424 --> 00:12:18.127
  • To paul's audience.
  • 00:12:18.127 --> 00:12:19.495
  • Remember when paul wrote these words, one-third of the roman
  • 00:12:19.495 --> 00:12:22.064
  • Empire were slaves!
  • 00:12:22.064 --> 00:12:24.633
  • And so they were very familiar with this concept of redeeming.
  • 00:12:24.633 --> 00:12:28.604
  • That word "redeem," "exagorazó," is a word that means "to buy out
  • 00:12:28.604 --> 00:12:33.275
  • Of the slave market."
  • 00:12:33.275 --> 00:12:35.344
  • If you wanted to purchase a slave, you would go down to the
  • 00:12:35.344 --> 00:12:37.947
  • "agora," the marketplace.
  • 00:12:37.947 --> 00:12:40.082
  • And there, the slaves would be on display and people would bid
  • 00:12:40.082 --> 00:12:43.319
  • For the slaves, and if you wanted to purchase a slave,
  • 00:12:43.319 --> 00:12:46.555
  • You would pay the highest price.
  • 00:12:46.555 --> 00:12:47.990
  • And once that slave became yours, it was like chattel
  • 00:12:47.990 --> 00:12:52.394
  • Property, you're free to do with it whatever you wanted to.
  • 00:12:52.394 --> 00:12:54.997
  • If you wanted to mistreat it, abuse it, if you want to slit
  • 00:12:54.997 --> 00:12:57.266
  • Its throat, you were free to do so, the slave was your property.
  • 00:12:57.266 --> 00:13:02.171
  • You had redeemed it, you had purchased it out of the market.
  • 00:13:02.171 --> 00:13:06.408
  • That's what the word "redeemed" means.
  • 00:13:06.408 --> 00:13:08.611
  • Now, ladies and gentlemen, listen to this.
  • 00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:10.679
  • The bible says, when we are born into this world, we are born
  • 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.549
  • Not free.
  • 00:13:13.549 --> 00:13:14.884
  • We are born slaves of satan.
  • 00:13:14.884 --> 00:13:18.153
  • He is our master, and all he has planned for us is a lifetime and
  • 00:13:18.153 --> 00:13:23.092
  • An eternity of misery.
  • 00:13:23.092 --> 00:13:25.828
  • That is what satan's plan is for your life and my life.
  • 00:13:25.828 --> 00:13:29.565
  • All of us were born into this world in bondage.
  • 00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:32.534
  • We had no future and no hope, but god, for no other reason,
  • 00:13:32.534 --> 00:13:37.773
  • The bible says, than the great love with which he loved you.
  • 00:13:37.773 --> 00:13:41.110
  • He sent jesus, his son, to shed his blood, to pay the price to
  • 00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:46.348
  • Redeem us from the bondage of satan, so that we can enter into
  • 00:13:46.348 --> 00:13:50.185
  • Everlasting life.
  • 00:13:50.185 --> 00:13:52.021
  • That's what it means to be redeemed.
  • 00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:54.189
  • God has purchased us, he has bought us with his blood.
  • 00:13:54.189 --> 00:13:57.927
  • Now, what's the result of that?
  • 00:13:57.927 --> 00:13:59.695
  • The result of that is he says, "therefore you are not your own.
  • 00:13:59.695 --> 00:14:04.133
  • You have been bought with a price."
  • 00:14:04.133 --> 00:14:07.102
  • Therefore, glorify god in your bodies.
  • 00:14:07.102 --> 00:14:11.206
  • I read the story one time about abraham lincoln when he was
  • 00:14:11.206 --> 00:14:14.944
  • A congressman in illinois.
  • 00:14:14.944 --> 00:14:16.845
  • He had heard about slave auctions, but he had never
  • 00:14:16.845 --> 00:14:18.981
  • Attended one.
  • 00:14:18.981 --> 00:14:20.349
  • And there was one going on in his community and so he thought
  • 00:14:20.349 --> 00:14:23.352
  • He would attend and see exactly what happened at
  • 00:14:23.352 --> 00:14:26.588
  • A slave auction.
  • 00:14:26.588 --> 00:14:28.157
  • And there, in the crowd, was a young, teenage african
  • 00:14:28.157 --> 00:14:31.794
  • American girl.
  • 00:14:31.794 --> 00:14:33.162
  • They had her up on the auction block and people were bidding
  • 00:14:33.162 --> 00:14:36.098
  • For her.
  • 00:14:36.098 --> 00:14:37.466
  • And so abraham lincoln entered into the bidding process and the
  • 00:14:37.466 --> 00:14:41.103
  • Price kept going higher, and higher, and higher, and finally,
  • 00:14:41.103 --> 00:14:45.040
  • Lincoln offered the winning bid and the auctioneer said, "sold!"
  • 00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:49.078
  • And the girl, the young african american, was brought to
  • 00:14:49.078 --> 00:14:51.747
  • Abraham lincoln.
  • 00:14:51.747 --> 00:14:53.215
  • She didn't dare look up at him.
  • 00:14:53.215 --> 00:14:55.017
  • She had her head bowed.
  • 00:14:55.017 --> 00:14:56.652
  • And lincoln said to her, "you're free."
  • 00:14:56.652 --> 00:15:00.889
  • She said, "mister, i don't know what that means."
  • 00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:04.460
  • He said, "it means you're free to do whatever you wanna do.
  • 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:08.263
  • You're free to say whatever you wanna say, you're free to go
  • 00:15:08.263 --> 00:15:11.500
  • Wherever you want to go."
  • 00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.902
  • She lifted up her head and said, with tears streaming down her
  • 00:15:13.902 --> 00:15:16.705
  • Face, "then, sir, i'll go with you."
  • 00:15:16.705 --> 00:15:22.511
  • That's the response to somebody who understands that
  • 00:15:22.511 --> 00:15:26.915
  • They've been redeemed.
  • 00:15:26.915 --> 00:15:28.784
  • God purchased us out of the marketplace of satan, and sin,
  • 00:15:28.784 --> 00:15:32.988
  • And death, not so that we could be free to do what we wanna do,
  • 00:15:32.988 --> 00:15:37.092
  • So that we are free to follow him to serve him with all of
  • 00:15:37.092 --> 00:15:41.096
  • Our heart.
  • 00:15:41.096 --> 00:15:42.464
  • That's the reason we flee immorality.
  • 00:15:42.464 --> 00:15:46.468
  • You're not your own, you have been bought with a price.
  • 00:15:46.468 --> 00:15:51.240
  • Immorality quenches the spirit's presence in our life.
  • 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.477
  • Spirit-quencher number two is bitterness.
  • 00:15:55.477 --> 00:15:58.947
  • Bitterness quenches the spirit's power to heal our hurts.
  • 00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:04.820
  • You know, every one of us, sooner or later, and probably
  • 00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:07.356
  • Sooner, is gonna be hurt by somebody, and hurt deeply.
  • 00:16:07.356 --> 00:16:12.227
  • We don't have any choice over that.
  • 00:16:12.227 --> 00:16:14.563
  • And some of you, this morning, some of you watching on
  • 00:16:14.563 --> 00:16:16.665
  • Television, you've been hurt by a friend who betrayed you, or
  • 00:16:16.665 --> 00:16:21.670
  • Maybe a business associate who cheated you.
  • 00:16:21.670 --> 00:16:24.807
  • It may be a child who's ignored you, or a mate who has
  • 00:16:24.807 --> 00:16:28.710
  • Abandoned you.
  • 00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:30.779
  • We can't control what happens to us, but we can control our
  • 00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:36.251
  • Response to those hurts.
  • 00:16:36.251 --> 00:16:38.253
  • We can either hold on to those hurts and turn them over and
  • 00:16:38.253 --> 00:16:41.390
  • Over in our minds until they metastasize into a tumor of
  • 00:16:41.390 --> 00:16:44.726
  • Bitterness, or we can respond to the grace of god to heal
  • 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:49.364
  • Those hurts.
  • 00:16:49.364 --> 00:16:50.766
  • You see, the bible teaches, for a christian, every time you're
  • 00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:54.303
  • Hurt by somebody, god provides an antidote to that hurt.
  • 00:16:54.303 --> 00:16:59.074
  • A soothing balm called "the holy spirit of god," and he
  • 00:16:59.074 --> 00:17:02.644
  • Gives you an extra measure of grace in order to deal
  • 00:17:02.644 --> 00:17:06.682
  • With that offense.
  • 00:17:06.682 --> 00:17:08.650
  • He doesn't give it to other people, he gives it to you.
  • 00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:11.653
  • And that's why, by the way, you should never get angry and take
  • 00:17:11.653 --> 00:17:15.090
  • Up somebody else's vengeance, you know, when they're
  • 00:17:15.090 --> 00:17:17.659
  • Mistreated and make that your cause, because, the fact is, god
  • 00:17:17.659 --> 00:17:21.130
  • Has given that person an extra measure of grace that he hasn't
  • 00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:25.167
  • Given you or me.
  • 00:17:25.167 --> 00:17:27.436
  • But we have a choice what to do with that grace.
  • 00:17:27.436 --> 00:17:30.139
  • We can either accept it or refuse it.
  • 00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:32.975
  • And that's why hebrews 12:15 says, "see to it that no one of
  • 00:17:32.975 --> 00:17:37.012
  • You come short of the grace of god; that no root of bitterness
  • 00:17:37.012 --> 00:17:41.517
  • Springing up defiled--causes trouble, and by it many
  • 00:17:41.517 --> 00:17:46.388
  • Are defiled."
  • 00:17:46.388 --> 00:17:47.723
  • He says, when these hurts come into your life, don't fall short
  • 00:17:47.723 --> 00:17:51.460
  • Of receiving that grace that god offers you, because the only
  • 00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:56.532
  • Alternative is bitterness.
  • 00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:58.867
  • A bitterness that destroys you and will destroy everything and
  • 00:17:58.867 --> 00:18:03.205
  • Everyone around you.
  • 00:18:03.205 --> 00:18:05.140
  • How can you make sure that you don't fall short of the grace of
  • 00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:08.510
  • God and fall under the trap of bitterness?
  • 00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:10.846
  • Four quick suggestions.
  • 00:18:10.846 --> 00:18:12.181
  • First of all, realize that offenses are inevitable.
  • 00:18:12.181 --> 00:18:15.784
  • Have you come to the place in your life where you realize you
  • 00:18:15.784 --> 00:18:18.453
  • Can't control other people?
  • 00:18:18.453 --> 00:18:20.722
  • Now, that's one of the greatest realizations.
  • 00:18:20.722 --> 00:18:23.125
  • We spend so much effort trying to control what people do or
  • 00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:26.228
  • Don't do to us, and usually we're helpless.
  • 00:18:26.228 --> 00:18:29.398
  • The fact is, it doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't keep
  • 00:18:29.398 --> 00:18:32.501
  • That boss from firing you if he really wants to fire you.
  • 00:18:32.501 --> 00:18:36.138
  • You can't keep that mate from leaving you if he or she really
  • 00:18:36.138 --> 00:18:39.308
  • Wants to leave.
  • 00:18:39.308 --> 00:18:40.809
  • You can't keep that child from rebelling against you and god if
  • 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:43.845
  • They really want to rebel.
  • 00:18:43.845 --> 00:18:45.814
  • We can't control what people do to us, but we can control
  • 00:18:45.814 --> 00:18:50.185
  • Our response.
  • 00:18:50.185 --> 00:18:51.553
  • Realizes that offenses are inevitable.
  • 00:18:51.553 --> 00:18:53.355
  • Secondly, reflect on god's forgiveness of you.
  • 00:18:53.355 --> 00:18:57.593
  • You know, there is an inseparable link between our
  • 00:18:57.593 --> 00:19:00.395
  • Receiving god's forgiveness and our willingness to forgive
  • 00:19:00.395 --> 00:19:04.166
  • Other people.
  • 00:19:04.166 --> 00:19:05.834
  • While we were on this mission trip to argentina, the choir
  • 00:19:05.834 --> 00:19:08.537
  • Heard this message so many times they could all preach it by
  • 00:19:08.537 --> 00:19:10.906
  • Memory, right now.
  • 00:19:10.906 --> 00:19:12.674
  • But i preached that message on forgiveness, the parable from
  • 00:19:12.674 --> 00:19:15.611
  • Matthew 18.
  • 00:19:15.611 --> 00:19:16.945
  • Remember the story about the slave who was brought in before
  • 00:19:16.945 --> 00:19:19.548
  • The king?
  • 00:19:19.548 --> 00:19:20.916
  • He owed him 10,000 talents of gold?
  • 00:19:20.916 --> 00:19:24.253
  • A talent was about 80 pounds of gold and i did the calculation
  • 00:19:24.253 --> 00:19:28.023
  • On the trip, that would be about $16 billion.
  • 00:19:28.023 --> 00:19:31.460
  • Now, since we've been back from the trip, gold's gone up again
  • 00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:33.829
  • Past $1800, so make that about $18 billion!
  • 00:19:33.829 --> 00:19:37.766
  • Here was a slave that owed an $18 billion debt, but the king
  • 00:19:37.766 --> 00:19:41.470
  • Chose to forgive him, to release him of the debt, and that slave,
  • 00:19:41.470 --> 00:19:45.907
  • Who had just been forgiven an $18 billion debt, goes out and
  • 00:19:45.907 --> 00:19:48.844
  • Finds a fellow slave who owes him $18.
  • 00:19:48.844 --> 00:19:53.115
  • And the slave who had been forgiven $18 billion was
  • 00:19:53.115 --> 00:19:56.852
  • Unwilling to forgive that paltry, measly $18 debt.
  • 00:19:56.852 --> 00:20:01.590
  • And when the king heard about it, he was so enraged he brought
  • 00:20:01.590 --> 00:20:04.559
  • That first slave in and said, "you wicked slave!
  • 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.363
  • How could you, who have been forgiven of so much refuse to
  • 00:20:08.363 --> 00:20:13.101
  • Forgive so little?"
  • 00:20:13.101 --> 00:20:14.970
  • And he threw the slave into prison and turned him over to
  • 00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:18.740
  • The torturers until he should repay everything.
  • 00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:22.277
  • And then jesus added the zinger.
  • 00:20:22.277 --> 00:20:24.813
  • He said, "so shall my heavenly father do to each of you if you
  • 00:20:24.813 --> 00:20:30.352
  • Do not forgive your brother from your heart."
  • 00:20:30.352 --> 00:20:34.856
  • See, before you get all high and mighty and self-righteous and
  • 00:20:34.856 --> 00:20:37.959
  • Say, "i'm not gonna forgive.
  • 00:20:37.959 --> 00:20:40.062
  • I refuse to forgive!"
  • 00:20:40.062 --> 00:20:43.565
  • Remember the great debt from which you've been forgiven.
  • 00:20:43.565 --> 00:20:48.036
  • God's not diminishing at all the hurt some of you
  • 00:20:48.036 --> 00:20:50.872
  • Have experienced.
  • 00:20:50.872 --> 00:20:52.207
  • Some of you have been abused sexually by your parents.
  • 00:20:52.207 --> 00:20:56.345
  • Some of you have been betrayed by those closest to you.
  • 00:20:56.345 --> 00:21:00.182
  • God is not diminishing what has happened to you.
  • 00:21:00.182 --> 00:21:03.985
  • He's saying put your hurt into perspective.
  • 00:21:03.985 --> 00:21:08.357
  • You see, the difference between how much somebody has hurt you
  • 00:21:08.357 --> 00:21:12.961
  • And how much you have hurt god is the difference between $18
  • 00:21:12.961 --> 00:21:18.100
  • And $18 billion.
  • 00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:22.037
  • Forgiveness is the obligation of those who have been forgiven.
  • 00:21:22.037 --> 00:21:26.808
  • Number three, release your offender from his obligation
  • 00:21:26.808 --> 00:21:29.711
  • To you.
  • 00:21:29.711 --> 00:21:31.046
  • You know, forgiveness isn't about forgetting.
  • 00:21:31.046 --> 00:21:32.414
  • It's not about sweeping something under the rug or
  • 00:21:32.414 --> 00:21:34.616
  • Playing like it never happened.
  • 00:21:34.616 --> 00:21:37.052
  • Real forgiveness, first of all, acknowledges that a wrong
  • 00:21:37.052 --> 00:21:39.688
  • Has occurred.
  • 00:21:39.688 --> 00:21:41.089
  • "you meant it for evil," joseph said, but god used it for good.
  • 00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:44.626
  • Go ahead and acknowledge that you've been wrong.
  • 00:21:44.626 --> 00:21:47.662
  • Calculate the debt of what is owed you because of the wrong,
  • 00:21:47.662 --> 00:21:51.333
  • But thirdly, forgiveness releases the other person
  • 00:21:51.333 --> 00:21:54.803
  • Of that debt.
  • 00:21:54.803 --> 00:21:56.438
  • Forgiveness is giving up your right to hurt somebody else for
  • 00:21:56.438 --> 00:21:59.474
  • Hurting you.
  • 00:21:59.474 --> 00:22:00.842
  • That's what forgiveness is.
  • 00:22:00.842 --> 00:22:02.177
  • Turning it over to god, letting god deal with that person rather
  • 00:22:02.177 --> 00:22:05.680
  • Than you.
  • 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.015
  • And then, number four, remember the consequences
  • 00:22:07.015 --> 00:22:09.184
  • Of unforgiveness.
  • 00:22:09.184 --> 00:22:11.386
  • We've talked in past messages before, there are very real,
  • 00:22:11.386 --> 00:22:14.723
  • Physical consequences when you refuse to forgive.
  • 00:22:14.723 --> 00:22:18.493
  • The leading christian psychiatrist in america today
  • 00:22:18.493 --> 00:22:21.163
  • Said pent up anger, bitterness, is the leading cause of death
  • 00:22:21.163 --> 00:22:25.867
  • In america, today.
  • 00:22:25.867 --> 00:22:27.602
  • There are physical consequences.
  • 00:22:27.602 --> 00:22:30.305
  • There are emotional consequences when you refuse to
  • 00:22:30.305 --> 00:22:33.608
  • Forgive somebody.
  • 00:22:33.608 --> 00:22:35.343
  • I mean, just think about it.
  • 00:22:35.343 --> 00:22:36.678
  • Here is somebody--just imagine, you're grabbing hold of somebody
  • 00:22:36.678 --> 00:22:41.016
  • Who is continually punching you in the face.
  • 00:22:41.016 --> 00:22:44.519
  • Now, what would be the wise thing to do, to keep on holding
  • 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.122
  • To that person--holding on to that person or letting them go?
  • 00:22:47.122 --> 00:22:50.892
  • I mean, why would you hold on to somebody who is continuing to
  • 00:22:50.892 --> 00:22:55.030
  • Hurt you?
  • 00:22:55.030 --> 00:22:56.398
  • It's the same thing when you're holding on to an offense that
  • 00:22:56.398 --> 00:22:59.734
  • Has been committed against you.
  • 00:22:59.734 --> 00:23:01.069
  • It's like you're reliving that hurt over and over and
  • 00:23:01.069 --> 00:23:04.506
  • Over again.
  • 00:23:04.506 --> 00:23:06.374
  • Instead, release it.
  • 00:23:06.374 --> 00:23:08.577
  • There are emotional consequences to unforgiveness, but the most
  • 00:23:08.577 --> 00:23:11.546
  • Serious consequences to bitterness are the
  • 00:23:11.546 --> 00:23:13.982
  • Spiritual consequences.
  • 00:23:13.982 --> 00:23:15.817
  • Jesus said it very clearly in matthew 6:15, "if you do not
  • 00:23:15.817 --> 00:23:19.421
  • Forgive others, neither will my father in heaven forgive you."

  • Jeffress: sins like bitterness and immorality have an
  • 00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:08.923
  • Especially potent ability to quench the holy spirit's power
  • 00:26:08.923 --> 00:26:12.727
  • In our lives because they destroy us from the inside out,
  • 00:26:12.727 --> 00:26:17.966
  • And the holy spirit cannot have full control when someone's
  • 00:26:17.966 --> 00:26:21.536

  • Behaviors that you need to turn away from in order to allow the

  • Jeffress: immorality quenches the spirit's presence,
  • 00:26:47.562 --> 00:26:50.965
  • Bitterness quenches the spirit's power to heal your hurts, greed

  • Extinguishes the spirit's purpose in your life, and worry
  • 00:26:55.403 --> 00:27:00.275
  • Extinguishes the spirit's peace in your life.
  • 00:27:00.275 --> 00:27:03.778
  • What's the antidote to all of these spirit-quenchers?
  • 00:27:03.778 --> 00:27:07.215
