  • (soft music)
  • 00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:03.746
  • - welcome friends to the broadcast.
  • 00:00:04.547 --> 00:00:06.015
  • I'm so glad that you've tuned in today.
  • 00:00:06.015 --> 00:00:08.484
  • We're beginning a brand new series
  • 00:00:08.484 --> 00:00:10.553
  • On unbelief: the enemy of our faith.
  • 00:00:10.553 --> 00:00:14.657
  • Did you know if you are born again,
  • 00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:16.592
  • If you have received jesus christ as your personal lord
  • 00:00:16.592 --> 00:00:20.196
  • And savior, you have the exact same faith as jesus.
  • 00:00:20.196 --> 00:00:25.134
  • You really don't have a faith problem,
  • 00:00:25.134 --> 00:00:27.403
  • But what you have is an unbelief problem.
  • 00:00:27.403 --> 00:00:29.905
  • Stay tuned and find out how
  • 00:00:29.905 --> 00:00:31.841
  • To walk in victory through faith.
  • 00:00:31.841 --> 00:00:34.677
  • (upbeat music)
  • 00:00:34.677 --> 00:00:54.029
  • I am gonna be sharing today
  • 00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:55.798
  • On unbelief: the enemy of our faith.
  • 00:00:55.798 --> 00:00:59.702
  • And actually, one of my secretaries saw this,
  • 00:00:59.702 --> 00:01:03.506
  • It's an old series i taught years and years ago,
  • 00:01:03.506 --> 00:01:05.474
  • And i hadn't taught for a long time.
  • 00:01:05.474 --> 00:01:07.643
  • And she said, "pastor, you ought to teach on that."
  • 00:01:07.643 --> 00:01:09.845
  • And so recently, when i was praying about what to teach,
  • 00:01:09.845 --> 00:01:12.815
  • A number of things came up.
  • 00:01:12.815 --> 00:01:14.150
  • But this came up and i felt like the lord did
  • 00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:16.085
  • Want me to teach this.
  • 00:01:16.085 --> 00:01:17.520
  • And so i wanna begin by saying, you know,
  • 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.589
  • The fact is if you're born again
  • 00:01:20.589 --> 00:01:22.591
  • And if you know jesus,
  • 00:01:22.591 --> 00:01:24.593
  • You don't need an increase of faith.
  • 00:01:24.593 --> 00:01:28.464
  • If you're born again, the same spirit
  • 00:01:28.464 --> 00:01:31.600
  • That raised up jesus from the dead dwells in you
  • 00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:35.171
  • As a believer according to romans eight, verse nine
  • 00:01:35.171 --> 00:01:38.073
  • Through verse 11.
  • 00:01:38.073 --> 00:01:39.475
  • "and you have the exact same spirit
  • 00:01:39.475 --> 00:01:43.012
  • As jesus living on the inside of you,
  • 00:01:43.012 --> 00:01:46.248
  • And that spirit is a spirit of faith."
  • 00:01:46.248 --> 00:01:50.386
  • Two corinthians chapter four, verse 13 says,
  • 00:01:50.386 --> 00:01:52.788
  • "we then having the same spirit of faith,"
  • 00:01:52.788 --> 00:01:56.892
  • That means the exact same spirit of faith.
  • 00:01:56.892 --> 00:02:00.696
  • And if you have the spirit of christ in you,
  • 00:02:00.696 --> 00:02:02.731
  • And and according to romans eight, nine through 11,
  • 00:02:02.731 --> 00:02:06.202
  • If you're born again, if you're a believer,
  • 00:02:06.202 --> 00:02:08.137
  • You have the spirit of jesus christ in you.
  • 00:02:08.137 --> 00:02:11.140
  • The bible actually says this in galatians chapter five,
  • 00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:14.343
  • Verse 22 and verse 23,
  • 00:02:14.343 --> 00:02:16.579
  • "the fruit of the spirit is love,
  • 00:02:16.579 --> 00:02:19.215
  • Joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
  • 00:02:19.215 --> 00:02:23.485
  • Meekness and temperance."
  • 00:02:23.485 --> 00:02:25.454
  • You have the exact same faith as jesus on the inside
  • 00:02:25.454 --> 00:02:29.992
  • Of you the moment that you are born again
  • 00:02:29.992 --> 00:02:33.429
  • And you do not need an increase of faith.
  • 00:02:33.429 --> 00:02:37.333
  • What you need to do is learn how to use the faith
  • 00:02:37.333 --> 00:02:41.370
  • That has already been given to you as a believer.
  • 00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:45.708
  • But what we actually need is a decrease of unbelief
  • 00:02:45.708 --> 00:02:51.046
  • Because there's not only faith,
  • 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.082
  • There's this aspect of unbelief.
  • 00:02:53.082 --> 00:02:54.984
  • So before i move into the main text
  • 00:02:54.984 --> 00:02:57.720
  • That i'm gonna use in this series,
  • 00:02:57.720 --> 00:02:59.755
  • I'm gonna talk just a little bit about
  • 00:02:59.755 --> 00:03:02.324
  • That you have faith in what that looks like.
  • 00:03:02.324 --> 00:03:04.994
  • So turn with me to luke chapter 17, verse five.
  • 00:03:04.994 --> 00:03:09.565
  • We'll start reading,
  • 00:03:09.565 --> 00:03:10.799
  • "the apostles said unto the lord,
  • 00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:13.202
  • 'increase our faith.'"
  • 00:03:13.202 --> 00:03:16.138
  • Do you know what?
  • 00:03:16.572 --> 00:03:18.040
  • If you live very much life,
  • 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:19.775
  • You're gonna probably feel like as a believer,
  • 00:03:19.775 --> 00:03:22.745
  • These were jesus handpicked apostles,
  • 00:03:23.512 --> 00:03:25.514
  • That you need a faith increase.
  • 00:03:25.514 --> 00:03:29.018
  • And jesus said to them,
  • 00:03:29.518 --> 00:03:30.919
  • "if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed,
  • 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.624
  • You might say to this sycamine tree,
  • 00:03:36.392 --> 00:03:38.260
  • Be thou plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea,
  • 00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:41.797
  • And it should obey you."
  • 00:03:41.797 --> 00:03:44.433
  • If you have faith, did you know what,
  • 00:03:44.433 --> 00:03:48.037
  • You're gonna say some things.
  • 00:03:48.037 --> 00:03:51.206
  • And if you really have faith,
  • 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.709
  • You can't help but say some things.
  • 00:03:53.709 --> 00:03:56.445
  • You know the world is spouting off all kinds of doubt
  • 00:03:57.513 --> 00:04:00.382
  • And unbelief in garbage all the time
  • 00:04:00.382 --> 00:04:02.017
  • And you as a believer, don't need to be intimidated
  • 00:04:02.017 --> 00:04:05.120
  • And you need to rise up and say some things.
  • 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.023
  • And then jesus began to share more on the subject of faith.
  • 00:04:09.224 --> 00:04:12.061
  • In verse 7 through 10, here in luke 17, he said,
  • 00:04:12.061 --> 00:04:14.930
  • "but which of you having a servant
  • 00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:17.333
  • Plowing or feeding cattle will say unto him, by and by,
  • 00:04:17.333 --> 00:04:21.270
  • When he's come from the field,
  • 00:04:21.270 --> 00:04:22.971
  • 'go and sit down to eat.'
  • 00:04:22.971 --> 00:04:25.441
  • But you will not rather say,
  • 00:04:25.441 --> 00:04:27.242
  • 'make ready wherewith i may sup,
  • 00:04:27.242 --> 00:04:29.745
  • Fix my food and guard yourself
  • 00:04:29.745 --> 00:04:34.049
  • And serve me till i have eaten and drunk
  • 00:04:34.049 --> 00:04:36.685
  • And afterward, you will eat and drink.'"
  • 00:04:36.685 --> 00:04:39.254
  • In other words, faith is your servant
  • 00:04:39.254 --> 00:04:42.424
  • And faith will do what you tell it to do.
  • 00:04:42.424 --> 00:04:46.295
  • Praise god.
  • 00:04:46.628 --> 00:04:48.030
  • And you should expect your faith to work for you.
  • 00:04:48.030 --> 00:04:51.700
  • Does he thank that servant
  • 00:04:52.267 --> 00:04:55.237
  • Because he did the things that were commanded of him?
  • 00:04:56.338 --> 00:04:59.675
  • I think not.
  • 00:04:59.675 --> 00:05:01.543
  • In other words, you should expect your faith to work
  • 00:05:01.543 --> 00:05:04.113
  • And you shouldn't be surprised when it does.
  • 00:05:04.113 --> 00:05:07.483
  • And he finally says this in verse 10.
  • 00:05:08.283 --> 00:05:10.853
  • "so likewise, when you have done all those things,
  • 00:05:10.853 --> 00:05:14.223
  • Which are commanded of you,
  • 00:05:14.223 --> 00:05:15.691
  • Say, 'we are unprofitable servants,
  • 00:05:15.691 --> 00:05:18.527
  • We have done that, which is our duty to do.'"
  • 00:05:18.527 --> 00:05:22.231
  • In other words, when you're really living by faith,
  • 00:05:22.231 --> 00:05:24.333
  • You shouldn't go out and make a big deal of it.
  • 00:05:24.333 --> 00:05:26.335
  • You just gotta get up every day and live by faith.
  • 00:05:26.335 --> 00:05:29.772
  • Why? because that's what believers do.
  • 00:05:29.772 --> 00:05:32.174
  • You shouldn't expect everybody just to celebrate
  • 00:05:33.175 --> 00:05:35.444
  • Because you're a person of faith.
  • 00:05:35.444 --> 00:05:36.678
  • You ought to just be a person of faith
  • 00:05:36.678 --> 00:05:39.148
  • Because you are.
  • 00:05:39.515 --> 00:05:40.649
  • Praise god.
  • 00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:41.850
  • So you don't need a faith increase.
  • 00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:43.919
  • What you need to do is learn how to use the faith
  • 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:46.755
  • That's already been given to you as a believer.
  • 00:05:46.755 --> 00:05:50.092
  • And if you learn how to use it, praise god,
  • 00:05:50.993 --> 00:05:53.562
  • You're gonna say some things, amen.
  • 00:05:53.562 --> 00:05:57.733
  • And you can't help say some things.
  • 00:05:57.733 --> 00:05:59.668
  • And not only are you gonna say some things,
  • 00:05:59.668 --> 00:06:02.304
  • But you're gonna command some things.
  • 00:06:02.304 --> 00:06:05.507
  • You know, there's this roman centurion came to jesus
  • 00:06:05.507 --> 00:06:09.545
  • Because he had a servant who was very sick
  • 00:06:09.545 --> 00:06:12.748
  • And jesus said, "i will come and heal him."
  • 00:06:12.748 --> 00:06:16.018
  • And he said, "no, you don't have to come and heal him,
  • 00:06:17.119 --> 00:06:19.121
  • But speak the word only
  • 00:06:19.121 --> 00:06:20.989
  • And my servant shall be healed
  • 00:06:20.989 --> 00:06:24.393
  • For i have servants under me.
  • 00:06:25.027 --> 00:06:26.795
  • And i say to one, go and he goes,
  • 00:06:26.795 --> 00:06:29.064
  • And another come and he comes."
  • 00:06:29.064 --> 00:06:31.767
  • In other words, my servants do what i tell them to do.
  • 00:06:31.767 --> 00:06:35.170
  • And this man understood authority
  • 00:06:35.904 --> 00:06:38.273
  • And understood that jesus had authority in the realm
  • 00:06:38.273 --> 00:06:41.143
  • Of sickness and disease.
  • 00:06:41.143 --> 00:06:42.811
  • And he said, "no, you don't need to come to my house."
  • 00:06:42.811 --> 00:06:45.013
  • Jesus marveled and said,
  • 00:06:45.013 --> 00:06:46.381
  • "i haven't seen faith like this in all of israel,"
  • 00:06:46.381 --> 00:06:50.219
  • Because this man had an understanding of faith.
  • 00:06:51.153 --> 00:06:54.223
  • And jesus said, "did you know what?
  • 00:06:55.023 --> 00:06:57.426
  • There are many that are that are on the inside
  • 00:06:57.426 --> 00:07:00.262
  • That are gonna be cast out
  • 00:07:00.262 --> 00:07:01.530
  • Because they didn't use what was given to them.
  • 00:07:01.530 --> 00:07:04.132
  • And yet this one who's an outsider
  • 00:07:04.132 --> 00:07:07.836
  • Has become an insider
  • 00:07:08.337 --> 00:07:09.838
  • Because he understands the principles of the kingdom."
  • 00:07:09.838 --> 00:07:13.242
  • Faith is a principle of god's kingdom.
  • 00:07:13.242 --> 00:07:17.145
  • Faith is a spiritual law.
  • 00:07:17.145 --> 00:07:20.015
  • The bible actually says in romans chapter three, verse 27,
  • 00:07:20.015 --> 00:07:23.819
  • That boasting is excluded because of the law of faith.
  • 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:29.157
  • And believe it or not, your faith or your lack thereof
  • 00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:34.429
  • Or not using it is working for you.
  • 00:07:35.163 --> 00:07:36.899
  • Amen. praise god.
  • 00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:39.668
  • So you don't need an increase of faith,
  • 00:07:40.502 --> 00:07:43.472
  • But what you really need is a decrease of unbelief.
  • 00:07:43.472 --> 00:07:47.976
  • And i want you to turn with me now to mark chapter nine.
  • 00:07:47.976 --> 00:07:52.748
  • And in mark chapter nine, this man came to jesus.
  • 00:07:52.748 --> 00:07:58.020
  • And when he came to jesus,
  • 00:07:58.587 --> 00:08:00.122
  • He came because he had this son who was being oppressed
  • 00:08:00.122 --> 00:08:04.693
  • By the devil.
  • 00:08:04.693 --> 00:08:06.328
  • And it says in verse 17,
  • 00:08:06.328 --> 00:08:07.896
  • "one of the multitude answered and said,
  • 00:08:07.896 --> 00:08:09.932
  • 'master, i have brought to you my son
  • 00:08:09.932 --> 00:08:13.735
  • Who has a dumb spirit.
  • 00:08:13.735 --> 00:08:16.805
  • And wherever he takes him, he tears him and he foam
  • 00:08:16.805 --> 00:08:22.144
  • And gnashes with his teeth and pines away.
  • 00:08:23.045 --> 00:08:25.113
  • And i spoke to your disciples that they would cast him out
  • 00:08:25.113 --> 00:08:28.984
  • And they could not.'
  • 00:08:28.984 --> 00:08:31.186
  • And jesus answered and said,
  • 00:08:31.186 --> 00:08:32.888
  • 'oh, faithless generation, how long shall i be with you?
  • 00:08:32.888 --> 00:08:37.626
  • How long shall i suffer you, bring him to me.'"
  • 00:08:37.626 --> 00:08:41.196
  • And did you know what?
  • 00:08:41.196 --> 00:08:42.965
  • Most people that if they worked for you and they came
  • 00:08:42.965 --> 00:08:46.068
  • And they couldn't get something done,
  • 00:08:46.068 --> 00:08:47.636
  • And you call them a faithless generation, they'd just,
  • 00:08:47.636 --> 00:08:51.306
  • We have raised such a bunch of wimps.
  • 00:08:51.306 --> 00:08:54.076
  • (audience laughing)
  • 00:08:54.076 --> 00:08:57.346
  • We have raised a bunch of whiners and complainers.
  • 00:08:58.380 --> 00:09:01.216
  • And jesus says this about his top people.
  • 00:09:01.216 --> 00:09:04.953
  • Man, jesus did not mince words.
  • 00:09:05.587 --> 00:09:08.857
  • He called the spade a spade.
  • 00:09:08.857 --> 00:09:11.493
  • "and so they brought him unto jesus.
  • 00:09:12.294 --> 00:09:14.596
  • And when he saw him, immediately, the spirit tear him
  • 00:09:14.596 --> 00:09:18.467
  • And he fell on the ground and he wallowed, foaming.
  • 00:09:18.467 --> 00:09:22.137
  • And he asked his father,
  • 00:09:22.638 --> 00:09:23.872
  • 'how long ago since this came to him?'
  • 00:09:23.872 --> 00:09:26.875
  • And he said, 'of a child.
  • 00:09:26.875 --> 00:09:29.111
  • And oftentimes it cast him into the fire
  • 00:09:29.111 --> 00:09:31.613
  • And into the waters to destroy him.'"
  • 00:09:31.613 --> 00:09:33.582
  • Do you know what? the devil wants to destroy people.
  • 00:09:33.582 --> 00:09:36.685
  • That's frankly what it's about.
  • 00:09:36.685 --> 00:09:39.755
  • But if you can do anything, this man was so overwhelmed
  • 00:09:40.889 --> 00:09:44.693
  • With the situation.
  • 00:09:44.693 --> 00:09:46.762
  • You know, most people in the church today believe
  • 00:09:47.696 --> 00:09:50.298
  • That god can, if he will.
  • 00:09:50.298 --> 00:09:54.069
  • This man was, he said, if you can't,
  • 00:09:54.836 --> 00:09:57.906
  • But i'm gonna ask you a question.
  • 00:09:57.906 --> 00:10:00.409
  • What is a more serious accusation against god,
  • 00:10:00.409 --> 00:10:04.946
  • Accusing him that he can but he won't,
  • 00:10:04.946 --> 00:10:10.485
  • Or accusing him that he may not be evil?
  • 00:10:11.353 --> 00:10:14.322
  • See, this man asked, said, "if you can do anything?"
  • 00:10:14.322 --> 00:10:17.359
  • It was a question of his power.
  • 00:10:17.359 --> 00:10:19.594
  • But when you question not his power, you say, "well,
  • 00:10:20.629 --> 00:10:23.532
  • God's an all powerful god, but i don't know that he will."
  • 00:10:23.532 --> 00:10:27.269
  • That is a question of his love.
  • 00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:29.371
  • That is a worse accusation against the father god
  • 00:10:29.371 --> 00:10:33.942
  • Than accusing him like you don't know if he has the power.
  • 00:10:33.942 --> 00:10:37.713
  • You know, years ago when we first started our church
  • 00:10:38.780 --> 00:10:41.383
  • In kit carson, i had this man that came to me
  • 00:10:41.383 --> 00:10:44.686
  • And asked me if i'd pray for him.
  • 00:10:44.686 --> 00:10:46.321
  • And i said, "yeah, i'll pray for you."
  • 00:10:46.321 --> 00:10:48.190
  • And he was sick, but i said, "i'll pray
  • 00:10:48.190 --> 00:10:50.325
  • For you under one condition that when i pray for you,
  • 00:10:50.325 --> 00:10:53.261
  • You believe god that he'll heal you when i pray for you."
  • 00:10:53.261 --> 00:10:58.100
  • And he said, "well, i don't know,
  • 00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:59.534
  • Maybe god's putting his sickness on me
  • 00:10:59.534 --> 00:11:01.436
  • To teach me something."
  • 00:11:01.436 --> 00:11:03.371
  • And i just asked him a question.
  • 00:11:04.005 --> 00:11:05.407
  • He had three daughters at that time.
  • 00:11:05.407 --> 00:11:07.042
  • I said, "do you love your daughters?"
  • 00:11:07.042 --> 00:11:09.211
  • He said, "yes."
  • 00:11:09.211 --> 00:11:10.612
  • I said, "would you take a vial of aids and shoot it
  • 00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:13.815
  • Into their body to try to teach them something?"
  • 00:11:13.815 --> 00:11:17.119
  • "no, absolutely, i'd never do that!"
  • 00:11:17.119 --> 00:11:20.555
  • I said, "well, how can you then accuse god
  • 00:11:20.555 --> 00:11:24.493
  • Of putting this sickness on you to teach you something?
  • 00:11:25.627 --> 00:11:28.497
  • This is ridiculous.
  • 00:11:28.497 --> 00:11:30.398
  • If god was putting sickness on you to teach you something,
  • 00:11:30.398 --> 00:11:33.368
  • Why would you go to the doctor to try to get healed?"
  • 00:11:33.368 --> 00:11:37.506
  • That is like crazy.
  • 00:11:37.973 --> 00:11:40.275
  • But people get religious and they act totally crazy.
  • 00:11:40.275 --> 00:11:43.545
  • And after i explained that to him, he agreed that he believe
  • 00:11:43.545 --> 00:11:47.015
  • That when i prayed for him that god would heal him,
  • 00:11:47.015 --> 00:11:49.518
  • And then i went ahead and prayed for him.
  • 00:11:49.518 --> 00:11:53.388
  • (bright music)
  • 00:11:53.755 --> 00:11:56.792
  • You know, my grandmother told me
  • 00:11:56.792 --> 00:11:58.193
  • When i was just a little bitty child, she told me,
  • 00:11:58.193 --> 00:12:00.796
  • "birds of a feather flock together."
  • 00:12:00.796 --> 00:12:03.498
  • And then a preacher told me a few years later,
  • 00:12:03.498 --> 00:12:05.801
  • "flocks fly the same place."
  • 00:12:05.801 --> 00:12:08.103
  • You know, there are some flocks you fly with,
  • 00:12:08.103 --> 00:12:09.871
  • You're not gonna get what you want
  • 00:12:09.871 --> 00:12:11.973
  • And so you wanna hang around the right people.
  • 00:12:11.973 --> 00:12:13.809
  • It's very important the relationships that you have.
  • 00:12:13.809 --> 00:12:23.351
  • And you know, there may be people that feel like that,
  • 00:12:24.452 --> 00:12:26.621
  • But god is not your problem.
  • 00:12:26.621 --> 00:12:28.423
  • God is your answer.
  • 00:12:28.423 --> 00:12:30.559
  • And jesus turned the thing around on him
  • 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.328
  • And said unto him,
  • 00:12:33.328 --> 00:12:34.696
  • "if you can believe all things are possible to him
  • 00:12:34.696 --> 00:12:38.600
  • Who believes."
  • 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.035
  • Jesus said, "i'm not the problem here."
  • 00:12:40.035 --> 00:12:46.441
  • Jesus said, "i'm your answer, if you can believe,
  • 00:12:47.475 --> 00:12:50.745
  • All things are possible to him that believes."
  • 00:12:50.745 --> 00:12:54.015
  • You know what?
  • 00:12:54.015 --> 00:12:55.150
  • There's a lot of people that accuse god,
  • 00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:56.351
  • That think god is the problem.
  • 00:12:56.351 --> 00:12:57.986
  • I'm here to tell you that god is not the problem,
  • 00:12:57.986 --> 00:13:01.089
  • God is the answer.
  • 00:13:01.089 --> 00:13:03.959
  • And so if there's a challenge, it's not with god,
  • 00:13:04.993 --> 00:13:07.562
  • The challenge is with us.
  • 00:13:07.562 --> 00:13:08.797
  • And so jesus turns it back,
  • 00:13:08.797 --> 00:13:10.498
  • And immediately the father of the child cried out with tears
  • 00:13:10.498 --> 00:13:14.302
  • And said, "lord, i believe, help my unbelief."
  • 00:13:14.302 --> 00:13:19.608
  • It's kind of like the disciples, "lord, increase our faith."
  • 00:13:20.775 --> 00:13:22.777
  • And jesus is like, "well guys,
  • 00:13:22.777 --> 00:13:24.746
  • You don't need a faith increase.
  • 00:13:24.746 --> 00:13:26.481
  • If you had faith, you'd start saying some things,
  • 00:13:27.482 --> 00:13:29.885
  • You'd start doing some things,
  • 00:13:29.885 --> 00:13:31.152
  • You'd start living in a different way."
  • 00:13:31.152 --> 00:13:33.622
  • Praise god.
  • 00:13:33.955 --> 00:13:35.590
  • And so he just cries, and i don't know about you,
  • 00:13:36.591 --> 00:13:39.194
  • But sometimes i'm like that, i'm human.
  • 00:13:39.194 --> 00:13:44.065
  • I deal with issues just like you.
  • 00:13:44.065 --> 00:13:46.401
  • I'm like, lord, i believe, help mine.
  • 00:13:47.202 --> 00:13:50.338
  • (chuckling)
  • 00:13:50.672 --> 00:13:52.807
  • Amen.
  • 00:13:52.807 --> 00:13:54.109
  • I don't know about you, but i'm a real person
  • 00:13:54.109 --> 00:13:56.011
  • And i deal with real problems
  • 00:13:56.011 --> 00:13:58.146
  • And i have difficulty sometimes,
  • 00:13:58.780 --> 00:14:00.548
  • And i have to ask god for help.
  • 00:14:00.548 --> 00:14:03.318
  • And it's okay to ask him for help.
  • 00:14:03.318 --> 00:14:05.086
  • He understands.
  • 00:14:05.086 --> 00:14:06.755
  • And when jesus saw that the people came running together,
  • 00:14:07.923 --> 00:14:11.192
  • He rebuked this foul spirit saying to him,
  • 00:14:11.192 --> 00:14:13.962
  • "you dumb and deaf spirit, i charge you to come out of him
  • 00:14:13.962 --> 00:14:18.300
  • And enter him no more."
  • 00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:20.702
  • And the spirit cried and tore him and came out of him.
  • 00:14:20.702 --> 00:14:24.773
  • And he was as one dead in so much that many said he is dead.
  • 00:14:24.773 --> 00:14:28.643
  • But jesus took him by the ham and lifted him up
  • 00:14:28.643 --> 00:14:31.579
  • And he arose.
  • 00:14:31.579 --> 00:14:33.248
  • And when he has come into the house, his disciples said
  • 00:14:33.248 --> 00:14:35.750
  • To him privately, "why couldn't we cast him out?
  • 00:14:35.750 --> 00:14:40.555
  • And jesus said unto them,
  • 00:14:41.122 --> 00:14:42.424
  • "this kind does not come forth
  • 00:14:42.424 --> 00:14:44.526
  • Except by prayer and fasting."
  • 00:14:44.526 --> 00:14:47.095
  • I submit to you that jesus was not talking about this kind
  • 00:14:48.263 --> 00:14:51.900
  • Of a devil.
  • 00:14:51.900 --> 00:14:54.569
  • He was talking about this kind of unbelief
  • 00:14:55.470 --> 00:14:59.341
  • Because prayer and fasting doesn't change the devil.
  • 00:15:00.375 --> 00:15:05.246
  • Prayer and fasting doesn't change god.
  • 00:15:06.081 --> 00:15:11.119
  • Prayer and fasting changes you.
  • 00:15:11.753 --> 00:15:14.022
  • Prayer and fasting is to deal with your flesh,
  • 00:15:14.956 --> 00:15:17.192
  • To get your flesh under control, under the control
  • 00:15:17.192 --> 00:15:21.463
  • Of your spirit to where you can hear god better.
  • 00:15:21.463 --> 00:15:25.066
  • And so jesus is really talking about the situation here.
  • 00:15:26.167 --> 00:15:29.804
  • Jesus said, "listen, it's not a problem with me.
  • 00:15:29.804 --> 00:15:33.174
  • I want to see your son healed more
  • 00:15:33.174 --> 00:15:35.510
  • Than you want to see him healed."
  • 00:15:35.510 --> 00:15:37.512
  • God loves us more than we, you know, god wants
  • 00:15:38.413 --> 00:15:41.583
  • To bless us, help us heal us more than we want
  • 00:15:41.583 --> 00:15:44.219
  • To even receive it from him.
  • 00:15:44.219 --> 00:15:46.821
  • But the challenge is we've got to believe.
  • 00:15:46.821 --> 00:15:49.624
  • And he says, "if you can do anything."
  • 00:15:50.425 --> 00:15:52.227
  • And jesus said, "well, if you can believe all things."
  • 00:15:52.227 --> 00:15:54.295
  • "lord help my belief."
  • 00:15:54.295 --> 00:15:55.864
  • At least he admits,
  • 00:15:55.864 --> 00:15:57.632
  • I am the one that's challenged in this situation.
  • 00:15:58.666 --> 00:16:01.569
  • So there's certain things that will feed unbelief.
  • 00:16:02.604 --> 00:16:06.941
  • And if you're a believer
  • 00:16:07.442 --> 00:16:09.377
  • When you're born again,
  • 00:16:09.377 --> 00:16:10.812
  • You have the exact same faith as jesus in your spirit,
  • 00:16:10.812 --> 00:16:15.083
  • The moment that you're born again.
  • 00:16:15.083 --> 00:16:17.952
  • And you don't need an increase of faith, so to speak,
  • 00:16:17.952 --> 00:16:21.456
  • You need to learn how to use your faith and how faith works.
  • 00:16:21.456 --> 00:16:25.894
  • But what you really need to do is pull the plug on unbelief
  • 00:16:25.894 --> 00:16:29.764
  • Because you got a world out there that is full of unbelief.
  • 00:16:30.932 --> 00:16:35.470
  • And there's different things that feed unbelief.
  • 00:16:36.471 --> 00:16:38.740
  • And we're gonna talk about some
  • 00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.375
  • Of those things in this series.
  • 00:16:40.375 --> 00:16:44.446
  • Somebody, for instance, asked me, i think it was yesterday,
  • 00:16:45.647 --> 00:16:49.451
  • They said, "pastor, do you read any secular books?"
  • 00:16:49.451 --> 00:16:52.320
  • I'm like, "if i read any, almost none."
  • 00:16:53.154 --> 00:16:59.627
  • I read the bible, amen.
  • 00:17:00.128 --> 00:17:03.998
  • And i read it over and over and over and over
  • 00:17:03.998 --> 00:17:07.836
  • And over and over.
  • 00:17:07.836 --> 00:17:10.238
  • And you know what? it never grows old to me.
  • 00:17:11.172 --> 00:17:14.476
  • The word is alive and the word speaks to me.
  • 00:17:14.476 --> 00:17:17.579
  • I do read some christian books, not a lot, but i read some,
  • 00:17:18.746 --> 00:17:22.650
  • But i don't read a lot of them.
  • 00:17:23.284 --> 00:17:25.854
  • But i read the scripture.
  • 00:17:25.854 --> 00:17:28.857
  • Do you know, if you'll feed on the word of god,
  • 00:17:29.791 --> 00:17:32.994
  • The bible says that faith comes by hearing
  • 00:17:32.994 --> 00:17:35.396
  • And hearing by the word of god.
  • 00:17:35.396 --> 00:17:38.566
  • And you know what?
  • 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.301
  • You're in a world that is full of unbelief.
  • 00:17:40.301 --> 00:17:43.271
  • You're in a world that is full of all kinds of information
  • 00:17:43.271 --> 00:17:47.575
  • And all kinds of different things
  • 00:17:47.575 --> 00:17:49.277
  • That have absolutely nothing to do with god.
  • 00:17:49.277 --> 00:17:53.414
  • For instance, if you're sick,
  • 00:17:54.048 --> 00:17:55.550
  • Do not go google the symptoms.
  • 00:17:55.550 --> 00:17:59.187
  • That's like the worst thing you can do.
  • 00:17:59.187 --> 00:18:01.789
  • Man, the first thing that you need to do
  • 00:18:02.657 --> 00:18:04.125
  • Is go to the word of god
  • 00:18:04.125 --> 00:18:05.593
  • And look at what the word of god says
  • 00:18:05.593 --> 00:18:08.530
  • And begin to feed on the word of god.
  • 00:18:08.530 --> 00:18:11.866
  • Lester sumrall talked about the first time that he went
  • 00:18:13.001 --> 00:18:15.236
  • To meet smith wigglesworth.
  • 00:18:15.236 --> 00:18:17.238
  • He was in england
  • 00:18:17.238 --> 00:18:18.773
  • And when he went to meet smith wigglesworth,
  • 00:18:18.773 --> 00:18:21.042
  • He got on a train and he had bought him a paper.
  • 00:18:21.042 --> 00:18:24.245
  • And when he got to the area, he had to get off,
  • 00:18:24.245 --> 00:18:26.047
  • He was going to smith's house.
  • 00:18:26.047 --> 00:18:27.448
  • And he got there, it was pretty early in the morning,
  • 00:18:27.448 --> 00:18:29.784
  • He knocked on the door
  • 00:18:29.784 --> 00:18:30.952
  • And smith wigglesworth came to the door
  • 00:18:30.952 --> 00:18:32.520
  • And he said, i had this paper stuck under my arm.
  • 00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:36.491
  • And he said, the first thing i did when he came
  • 00:18:36.491 --> 00:18:39.093
  • To the door, i said, "smith, how are you doing today?
  • 00:18:39.093 --> 00:18:42.630
  • Well, that was the first thing he did wrong.
  • 00:18:42.630 --> 00:18:44.332
  • Smith said, "listen, i don't ask myself how i feel.
  • 00:18:44.332 --> 00:18:47.535
  • I tell myself how i feel!
  • 00:18:47.535 --> 00:18:49.470
  • I get up every day and i dance 10 minutes before the lord!"
  • 00:18:49.470 --> 00:18:54.642
  • Praise god.
  • 00:18:54.976 --> 00:18:56.144
  • And then he went on to say, he said, "you know what?
  • 00:18:57.212 --> 00:18:59.981
  • You're welcome to come in this house,
  • 00:18:59.981 --> 00:19:01.482
  • But that newspaper stays outside.
  • 00:19:01.482 --> 00:19:03.484
  • Put it, you know, somewhere else."
  • 00:19:03.484 --> 00:19:06.054
  • He said, "i don't allow any bad news in my house."
  • 00:19:06.054 --> 00:19:08.856
  • And the only thing he'd allow in his house was the bible.
  • 00:19:08.856 --> 00:19:12.994
  • Praise god. do you know what?
  • 00:19:13.628 --> 00:19:15.196
  • As a whole, i do not feed on a lot of worldly information.
  • 00:19:15.196 --> 00:19:19.267
  • Now, barbara spends lots of time in the word,
  • 00:19:20.168 --> 00:19:22.470
  • She spends lots of time worshiping god and meditating
  • 00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:25.340
  • And seeking god.
  • 00:19:25.340 --> 00:19:26.841
  • But barbara watches the news.
  • 00:19:26.841 --> 00:19:28.343
  • As a whole, she watches real america's christian voice
  • 00:19:28.343 --> 00:19:33.014
  • And they do about everything on there but preach,
  • 00:19:33.014 --> 00:19:35.483
  • And sometimes they preach too.
  • 00:19:35.483 --> 00:19:37.952
  • But barbara fills me in on all the nonsense that's going on
  • 00:19:37.952 --> 00:19:41.823
  • Around the world.
  • 00:19:41.823 --> 00:19:43.358
  • And i get about as much as i can stand just with
  • 00:19:43.358 --> 00:19:46.060
  • What she tells me, all the crazy information.
  • 00:19:46.060 --> 00:19:48.663
  • And there's some good news too.
  • 00:19:48.663 --> 00:19:50.431
  • But at the same point in time, i am just not
  • 00:19:50.431 --> 00:19:53.334
  • That focused on a lot of this stuff in the world.
  • 00:19:53.334 --> 00:19:56.504
  • But i am very focused on who god is and who christ is,
  • 00:19:56.504 --> 00:20:00.775
  • And who we are, who the holy spirit is.
  • 00:20:00.775 --> 00:20:04.379
  • And you know, i still have to deal with my flesh,
  • 00:20:04.379 --> 00:20:08.783
  • I still live in this world.
  • 00:20:09.384 --> 00:20:11.119
  • I still deal with problems.
  • 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.553
  • I still have to deal with myself.
  • 00:20:12.553 --> 00:20:15.957
  • And so i know that if i have to deal with myself,
  • 00:20:15.957 --> 00:20:18.526
  • You gotta deal with yourself.
  • 00:20:18.526 --> 00:20:21.396
  • Amen.
  • 00:20:21.629 --> 00:20:22.864
  • So you know, what is some of the challenges?
  • 00:20:23.765 --> 00:20:26.901
  • You know, what feeds unbelief?
  • 00:20:26.901 --> 00:20:29.070
  • That's what we're gonna be talking about.
  • 00:20:29.070 --> 00:20:30.938
  • Well, the first thing that feeds unbelief is circumstances
  • 00:20:30.938 --> 00:20:34.942
  • That are contrary with what god promises.
  • 00:20:34.942 --> 00:20:38.546
  • And i just got done teaching a series,
  • 00:20:38.546 --> 00:20:40.481
  • And we based it on the scripture
  • 00:20:40.481 --> 00:20:41.949
  • In two corinthians chapter 12, verse nine,
  • 00:20:41.949 --> 00:20:44.986
  • Where paul prayed three times
  • 00:20:44.986 --> 00:20:47.488
  • Because he had this demonic attack
  • 00:20:47.488 --> 00:20:49.457
  • And this attack didn't leave.
  • 00:20:49.457 --> 00:20:51.793
  • And he asked the lord,
  • 00:20:51.793 --> 00:20:53.194
  • And jesus said, "my grace is sufficient for you,
  • 00:20:53.194 --> 00:20:56.531
  • For my strength is made perfect in weakness."
  • 00:20:56.531 --> 00:20:59.767
  • Jesus was not telling paul, paul suffer with it.
  • 00:20:59.767 --> 00:21:03.705
  • What jesus was saying is, paul, learn how
  • 00:21:03.705 --> 00:21:06.307
  • To rest in my grace, learn how to rely on me.
  • 00:21:06.307 --> 00:21:10.478
  • And as you learn how to rely,
  • 00:21:10.478 --> 00:21:12.013
  • And if you read the context, you can see, he says,
  • 00:21:12.013 --> 00:21:14.682
  • "i take pleasure in these difficulties
  • 00:21:14.682 --> 00:21:17.185
  • Because when i am weak, then i'm made strong."
  • 00:21:17.185 --> 00:21:20.988
  • I take pleasure in these challenges that the power
  • 00:21:20.988 --> 00:21:23.624
  • Of christ may rest upon me.
  • 00:21:23.624 --> 00:21:25.560
  • Paul was not giving a message that was without hope.
  • 00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:29.163
  • He was given a message of hope.
  • 00:21:29.163 --> 00:21:30.598
  • But if you don't have an immediate answer, when you pray,
  • 00:21:30.598 --> 00:21:34.068
  • Don't accuse god of wrongdoing.
  • 00:21:34.068 --> 00:21:37.605
  • Amen.
  • 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:39.040
  • Look at where the real enemy is.
  • 00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:40.708
  • And when you look at this, i want you to see,
  • 00:21:40.708 --> 00:21:42.844
  • Notice what happens when these guys bring this man.
  • 00:21:42.844 --> 00:21:47.415
  • He says, "i brought to you," in verse 17, "my son,
  • 00:21:47.415 --> 00:21:50.785
  • He has this dumb spirit.
  • 00:21:50.785 --> 00:21:52.286
  • He's dealing with this demonic attack on his body.
  • 00:21:52.286 --> 00:21:57.658
  • And wherever he takes him, he tears him and he foams
  • 00:21:58.693 --> 00:22:01.729
  • And gnashes with his teeth and pines away.
  • 00:22:01.729 --> 00:22:05.166
  • And i talked to your disciples
  • 00:22:05.166 --> 00:22:06.667
  • And they could not cast him out."
  • 00:22:06.667 --> 00:22:09.337
  • So he's dealing with this manifestation.
  • 00:22:09.337 --> 00:22:12.340
  • And i wanna say this, my dad was an epileptic
  • 00:22:13.274 --> 00:22:16.511
  • And i love people.
  • 00:22:16.944 --> 00:22:19.480
  • In fact, one reason that i was really attracted
  • 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.083
  • To dr. lester sumrall's ministry
  • 00:22:22.083 --> 00:22:24.285
  • Is because he cast out devils.
  • 00:22:24.285 --> 00:22:27.688
  • But you know, when you understand a demon spirit,
  • 00:22:28.689 --> 00:22:31.659
  • My dad was born again
  • 00:22:31.659 --> 00:22:33.127
  • And jesus christ lived on the inside of him,
  • 00:22:33.127 --> 00:22:37.131
  • But he had this challenge in his physical body.
  • 00:22:37.131 --> 00:22:41.169
  • So it is possible to be a believer,
  • 00:22:41.169 --> 00:22:43.738
  • And in your spirit, you are born again
  • 00:22:43.738 --> 00:22:46.140
  • And christ lives in you
  • 00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:47.942
  • And yet to be attacked in your physical body
  • 00:22:47.942 --> 00:22:51.946
  • And/or in your soul and it not affect your spirit.
  • 00:22:51.946 --> 00:22:57.084
  • And so my dad dealt with some of these same things.
  • 00:22:58.085 --> 00:23:01.088
  • I saw some of these same things.
  • 00:23:01.088 --> 00:23:03.157
  • And you know, most of the time when somebody has epilepsy
  • 00:23:04.292 --> 00:23:06.928
  • Or something, my dad had these major seizures
  • 00:23:06.928 --> 00:23:09.130
  • And he would fall over and roll in the street
  • 00:23:09.130 --> 00:23:11.799
  • And foam at the mouth.
  • 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.201
  • If anybody had faith, most of their faith left,
  • 00:23:13.201 --> 00:23:16.804
  • You know when that happened.
  • 00:23:17.405 --> 00:23:19.607
  • This is one reason the full gospel was so attractive
  • 00:23:19.607 --> 00:23:22.443
  • To me when i first heard it,
  • 00:23:22.443 --> 00:23:24.378
  • Because it brought hope that there is healing.
  • 00:23:24.378 --> 00:23:28.249
  • It brought hope that we can believe god.
  • 00:23:28.249 --> 00:23:31.252
  • And so he said, "i brought him to jesus
  • 00:23:31.252 --> 00:23:33.054
  • And this is the challenge i'm dealing with."
  • 00:23:33.054 --> 00:23:36.224
  • And jesus calls his own disciples a faithless generation.
  • 00:23:36.224 --> 00:23:40.061
  • So they brought this boy to jesus
  • 00:23:40.061 --> 00:23:43.931
  • And when he saw him immediately, the spirit tear him
  • 00:23:43.931 --> 00:23:46.968
  • And he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming.
  • 00:23:46.968 --> 00:23:50.238
  • Do you know what? the devil doesn't like god.
  • 00:23:50.238 --> 00:23:53.774
  • There's sometimes people
  • 00:23:54.275 --> 00:23:55.510
  • That we'll see even when we're driving
  • 00:23:55.510 --> 00:23:58.212
  • And barbara will look at them
  • 00:23:58.212 --> 00:23:59.814
  • And she'll say, "the spirit in them does not like the spirit
  • 00:23:59.814 --> 00:24:03.384
  • On the inside of you."
  • 00:24:03.384 --> 00:24:06.287
  • And they'll react.
  • 00:24:06.721 --> 00:24:08.256
  • Even we have no knowledge even of who they are, whatever.
  • 00:24:08.256 --> 00:24:11.292
  • But they'll just react.
  • 00:24:11.292 --> 00:24:13.561
  • We can tell the spirit in somebody is reacting negatively.
  • 00:24:13.561 --> 00:24:18.666
  • But you know what? you got the spirit of jesus.
  • 00:24:19.600 --> 00:24:21.636
  • You got the same spirit in you
  • 00:24:21.636 --> 00:24:23.037
  • That raised up jesus from the dead.
  • 00:24:23.037 --> 00:24:24.672
  • So immediately this thing came
  • 00:24:24.672 --> 00:24:28.142
  • And jesus said, "how long has it been?"
  • 00:24:28.976 --> 00:24:32.079
  • And he said, "many times, oftentimes it's come,
  • 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.216
  • It's been since its child and it's cast him into the fire
  • 00:24:35.216 --> 00:24:38.586
  • And water to destroy him."
  • 00:24:38.586 --> 00:24:40.821
  • But if you can do it, did you know the devil comes
  • 00:24:40.821 --> 00:24:44.125
  • To steal, to kill and destroy?
  • 00:24:44.125 --> 00:24:47.328
  • This demonic spirit was not from god.
  • 00:24:47.328 --> 00:24:50.064
  • This sickness, this disease was not from god.
  • 00:24:50.064 --> 00:24:54.368
  • Jesus says, "it's the thief that comes to steal,
  • 00:24:54.368 --> 00:24:57.538
  • To kill and destroy.
  • 00:24:57.538 --> 00:24:59.140
  • But i have come that you might have life
  • 00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:00.975
  • And life more abundantly,"
  • 00:25:00.975 --> 00:25:02.176
  • In john chapter 10, verse 10.
  • 00:25:02.176 --> 00:25:04.612
