♪ music ♪ pastor matt hagee: the reason
00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:14.842
Pastor matt hagee: the reason that i choose the title
00:00:14.909 --> 00:00:15.643
That i choose the title for this message,
00:00:15.709 --> 00:00:16.277
For this message, "the god that we ignore,"
00:00:16.343 --> 00:00:17.812
"the god that we ignore," is because when you begin
00:00:17.878 --> 00:00:19.413
Is because when you begin to discuss the holy spirit
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.515
To discuss the holy spirit in churches today,
00:00:21.582 --> 00:00:22.950
In churches today, you typically get one of
00:00:23.017 --> 00:00:24.718
You typically get one of two responses.
00:00:24.785 --> 00:00:27.488
Two responses. when you say,
00:00:27.555 --> 00:00:27.888
When you say, "we're going to teach about
00:00:27.955 --> 00:00:28.756
"we're going to teach about the holy spirit,"
00:00:28.823 --> 00:00:29.523
The holy spirit," there's one group that pulls
00:00:29.590 --> 00:00:30.591
There's one group that pulls up all of their guards
00:00:30.658 --> 00:00:31.759
Up all of their guards and all of their defenses,
00:00:31.826 --> 00:00:33.294
And all of their defenses, and they say, "no, thank you.
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:34.762
And they say, "no, thank you. i've got all i need with god,
00:00:34.829 --> 00:00:36.497
I've got all i need with god, the father.
00:00:36.564 --> 00:00:37.031
The father. i'm cool with jesus christ,
00:00:37.098 --> 00:00:38.466
I'm cool with jesus christ, the son.
00:00:38.532 --> 00:00:38.966
The son. but you leave that holy ghost
00:00:39.033 --> 00:00:40.101
But you leave that holy ghost stuff to the snake-handling
00:00:40.167 --> 00:00:41.302
Stuff to the snake-handling pew jumpers.
00:00:41.368 --> 00:00:42.002
Pew jumpers. i'm not one of them."
00:00:42.069 --> 00:00:43.771
I'm not one of them." (laughter)
00:00:43.838 --> 00:00:46.040
(laughter) and let me help you understand
00:00:46.107 --> 00:00:46.974
And let me help you understand something.
00:00:47.041 --> 00:00:47.508
Something. snake handling has nothing
00:00:47.575 --> 00:00:48.742
Snake handling has nothing to do with god.
00:00:48.809 --> 00:00:49.477
To do with god. it has to do with idiocy.
00:00:49.543 --> 00:00:51.779
It has to do with idiocy. (laughter)
00:00:51.846 --> 00:00:52.813
(laughter) if there is a snake
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.714
If there is a snake in this sanctuary,
00:00:53.781 --> 00:00:54.748
In this sanctuary, let it be on your boot.
00:00:54.815 --> 00:00:57.084
Let it be on your boot. (laughter)
00:00:57.151 --> 00:00:59.787
(laughter) then there's another group,
00:00:59.854 --> 00:01:01.755
Then there's another group, polar opposite of
00:01:01.822 --> 00:01:02.756
Polar opposite of the first group.
00:01:02.823 --> 00:01:04.024
The first group. "we're going to discuss
00:01:04.091 --> 00:01:05.059
"we're going to discuss the holy spirit in church
00:01:05.126 --> 00:01:06.227
The holy spirit in church today."
00:01:06.293 --> 00:01:06.694
Today." "whew!
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:07.995
"whew! hallelujah!"
00:01:08.062 --> 00:01:10.831
Hallelujah!" (laughter)
00:01:10.898 --> 00:01:11.665
(laughter) break out the tambourines
00:01:11.732 --> 00:01:12.867
Break out the tambourines and let's run and shout
00:01:12.933 --> 00:01:14.268
And let's run and shout and dance because the louder
00:01:14.335 --> 00:01:15.436
And dance because the louder we are,
00:01:15.503 --> 00:01:16.036
We are, the holier we get.
00:01:16.103 --> 00:01:17.171
The holier we get. no, you don't.
00:01:17.238 --> 00:01:19.373
No, you don't. (laughter)
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.876
(laughter) the reason that i call
00:01:21.942 --> 00:01:22.576
The reason that i call this ignorance is because both
00:01:22.643 --> 00:01:24.311
This ignorance is because both positions are equally wrong
00:01:24.378 --> 00:01:26.113
Positions are equally wrong and they're filled with
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.314
And they're filled with the ignorance of man rather
00:01:27.381 --> 00:01:28.516
The ignorance of man rather than the wisdom of god's word.
00:01:28.582 --> 00:01:31.118
Than the wisdom of god's word. [amen.]
00:01:31.185 --> 00:01:31.819
[amen.] and they prevent us from
00:01:31.886 --> 00:01:32.820
And they prevent us from receiving the promised gift
00:01:32.887 --> 00:01:35.222
Receiving the promised gift that heaven wants you to have.
00:01:35.289 --> 00:01:36.757
That heaven wants you to have. read acts 2:38.

"when you are baptized for the remission of sins,
00:01:41.395 --> 00:01:42.463
The remission of sins, you shall receive the gift."
00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:46.667
You shall receive the gift." who gives you this gift?
00:01:46.734 --> 00:01:48.736
Who gives you this gift? god in heaven gives you

God in heaven gives you this gift.
00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:51.605
This gift. some people,
00:01:51.672 --> 00:01:52.306
Some people, in their ignorance,
00:01:52.373 --> 00:01:53.007
In their ignorance, they say, "well, that gift
00:01:53.073 --> 00:01:53.741
They say, "well, that gift is not for me."
00:01:53.807 --> 00:01:54.508
Is not for me." read the verse.

It's for your children. and it's for their children,

And it's for their children, too.

Too. what did jesus have to say
00:02:00.748 --> 00:02:01.882
What did jesus have to say about this gift?
00:02:01.949 --> 00:02:02.583
About this gift? matthew 7:11,

He says, "you being evil," he was speaking to fathers
00:02:06.453 --> 00:02:07.788

To give good gifts to your children,

The holy spirit in john 16, he said to his disciples,
00:02:35.749 --> 00:02:37.251
He said to his disciples, "it is to your advantage
00:02:37.318 --> 00:02:39.019
"it is to your advantage that i go away,
00:02:39.086 --> 00:02:40.354
That i go away, because if i do not go away,
00:02:40.421 --> 00:02:42.156
Because if i do not go away, the helper will not come."
00:02:42.223 --> 00:02:44.725
The helper will not come." [amen.]
00:02:44.792 --> 00:02:46.227

Of truth." [amen.]

John 16, it is to your advantage that

It is to your advantage that we receive him in our life.
00:02:58.606 --> 00:03:00.674
We receive him in our life. the message is very clear.
00:03:00.741 --> 00:03:02.076
The message is very clear. you need the holy spirit in
00:03:02.142 --> 00:03:04.812
You need the holy spirit in your life because you cannot
00:03:04.878 --> 00:03:06.780
Your life because you cannot afford to live in this world
00:03:06.847 --> 00:03:08.482
Afford to live in this world without him.

Without him. [amen.]
00:03:09.917 --> 00:03:11.051

Of your life. it is the kind of power that

It is the kind of power that will give you the ability to
00:03:17.992 --> 00:03:19.193
Will give you the ability to look at the world and say,
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:20.394
Look at the world and say, "greater is he who is in me
00:03:20.461 --> 00:03:23.030
"greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world."
00:03:23.097 --> 00:03:26.467
Than he who is in the world." (applause)
00:03:26.533 --> 00:03:31.238
(applause) but many people are ignorant
00:03:31.305 --> 00:03:32.906
But many people are ignorant of the power
00:03:32.973 --> 00:03:33.507
Of the power of the holy spirit
00:03:33.574 --> 00:03:34.608
Of the holy spirit because they ignore what they
00:03:34.675 --> 00:03:36.777
Because they ignore what they don't know.
00:03:36.844 --> 00:03:38.646
Don't know. that's ignorance,
00:03:38.712 --> 00:03:40.347
That's ignorance, when you ignore what you don't
00:03:40.414 --> 00:03:42.283
When you ignore what you don't know.
00:03:42.349 --> 00:03:44.118
Know. when it comes to
00:03:44.184 --> 00:03:44.752
When it comes to the holy spirit,
00:03:44.818 --> 00:03:45.552
The holy spirit, you cannot afford to be
00:03:45.619 --> 00:03:47.554
You cannot afford to be ignorant about what you
00:03:47.621 --> 00:03:48.856
Ignorant about what you don't know.
00:03:48.922 --> 00:03:49.423
Don't know. what you don't know,
00:03:49.490 --> 00:03:50.424
What you don't know, you need to find out
00:03:50.491 --> 00:03:51.759
You need to find out because it is your connection
00:03:51.825 --> 00:03:53.661
Because it is your connection to power.
00:03:53.727 --> 00:03:54.962
To power. [amen.]
00:03:55.029 --> 00:03:55.729
[amen.] now there are four reasons
00:03:55.796 --> 00:03:56.930
Now there are four reasons why people are ignorant
00:03:56.997 --> 00:03:58.799
Why people are ignorant of the power
00:03:58.866 --> 00:03:59.600
Of the power of the holy spirit,
00:03:59.667 --> 00:04:00.534
Of the holy spirit, and i'm going to share them
00:04:00.601 --> 00:04:01.368
And i'm going to share them with you.
00:04:01.435 --> 00:04:01.869
With you. the first reason
00:04:01.935 --> 00:04:03.003
The first reason is your traditions.
00:04:03.070 --> 00:04:05.506
Is your traditions. jesus had trouble getting over
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:07.641
Jesus had trouble getting over the pharisees' religious
00:04:07.708 --> 00:04:08.942
The pharisees' religious traditions.
00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:09.576
Traditions. as much power as he had,
00:04:09.643 --> 00:04:11.578
As much power as he had, when they would use tradition
00:04:11.645 --> 00:04:13.013
When they would use tradition in their argument,
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:13.847
In their argument, he never demonstrated
00:04:13.914 --> 00:04:15.015
He never demonstrated his power in their life.
00:04:15.082 --> 00:04:17.284
His power in their life. this is what he said
00:04:17.351 --> 00:04:18.452
This is what he said in matthew 15:6;
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.421
In matthew 15:6; he said,
00:04:20.487 --> 00:04:20.988
He said, "you have made the commandment
00:04:21.055 --> 00:04:22.389
"you have made the commandment of god to no effect
00:04:22.456 --> 00:04:24.425
Of god to no effect by your traditions."
00:04:24.491 --> 00:04:27.261
By your traditions." jesus was saying,
00:04:27.328 --> 00:04:28.228
Jesus was saying, there's power that's
00:04:28.295 --> 00:04:29.163
There's power that's available to you,
00:04:29.229 --> 00:04:30.431
Available to you, but you're not plugged into it
00:04:30.497 --> 00:04:32.132
But you're not plugged into it because you've allowed
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:32.966
Because you've allowed the traditions of your father
00:04:33.033 --> 00:04:34.535
The traditions of your father and the religious practices
00:04:34.601 --> 00:04:35.736
And the religious practices of your life to remove you
00:04:35.803 --> 00:04:37.705
Of your life to remove you from the source of power.
00:04:37.771 --> 00:04:39.807
From the source of power. that's what the holy spirit
00:04:39.873 --> 00:04:40.708
That's what the holy spirit is.
00:04:40.774 --> 00:04:41.342
Is. he is your point of contact
00:04:41.408 --> 00:04:43.277
He is your point of contact so that you can accomplish
00:04:43.344 --> 00:04:44.611
So that you can accomplish the purposes of god
00:04:44.678 --> 00:04:45.579
The purposes of god in your life.
00:04:45.646 --> 00:04:46.880
In your life. let's look at this handy
00:04:46.947 --> 00:04:48.949
Let's look at this handy appliance here.

"silver and gold, i do not have.
00:09:38.038 --> 00:09:39.139
I do not have. but what i do have,
00:09:39.206 --> 00:09:40.273
But what i do have, i'll give it to you."
00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:41.475
I'll give it to you." "in the name of jesus christ,
00:09:41.541 --> 00:09:43.477
"in the name of jesus christ, rise up and walk."
00:09:43.543 --> 00:09:44.645
Rise up and walk." now they had power to bind
00:09:44.711 --> 00:09:46.580
Now they had power to bind and to lose.
00:09:46.647 --> 00:09:47.381
And to lose. now they had power to set
00:09:47.447 --> 00:09:49.016
Now they had power to set captives free.
00:09:49.082 --> 00:09:50.317
Captives free. now they had power to shape
00:09:50.384 --> 00:09:52.085
Now they had power to shape the very gates of hell.
00:09:52.152 --> 00:09:53.754
The very gates of hell. child of god,
00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:54.655
Child of god, what i'm saying to you is this;
00:09:54.721 --> 00:09:56.556
What i'm saying to you is this; the same power that was in
00:09:56.623 --> 00:09:58.158
The same power that was in genesis is the same power that
00:09:58.225 --> 00:10:00.127
Genesis is the same power that was in luke,
00:10:00.193 --> 00:10:01.294
Was in luke, is the same power
00:10:01.361 --> 00:10:02.329
Is the same power that was at pentecost.
00:10:02.396 --> 00:10:03.597
That was at pentecost. and it's the same power
00:10:03.664 --> 00:10:04.965
And it's the same power that's here today!
00:10:05.032 --> 00:10:07.367
That's here today! (applause)
00:10:07.434 --> 00:10:11.738
(applause) [whew!]
00:10:11.805 --> 00:10:12.739
[whew!] (applause)
00:10:12.806 --> 00:10:14.174
(applause) the question is not,
00:10:14.241 --> 00:10:15.242
The question is not, does god have the power?
00:10:15.308 --> 00:10:16.843
Does god have the power? the question is,
00:10:16.910 --> 00:10:17.577
The question is, are you plugged into
00:10:17.644 --> 00:10:18.812
Are you plugged into the source?
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:19.980
The source? [amen.]
00:10:20.047 --> 00:10:20.714
[amen.] [yes.]
00:10:20.781 --> 00:10:22.015
[yes.] if you're not plugged in,
00:10:22.082 --> 00:10:23.016
If you're not plugged in, it's not god's fault.
00:10:23.083 --> 00:10:24.851
It's not god's fault. [amen.]
00:10:24.918 --> 00:10:26.987
[amen.] you plug yourself in
00:10:27.054 --> 00:10:27.954
You plug yourself in through the word of god.
00:10:28.021 --> 00:10:28.922
Through the word of god. you plug yourself in
00:10:28.989 --> 00:10:29.856
You plug yourself in through praying.
00:10:29.923 --> 00:10:30.624
Through praying. you plug yourself in
00:10:30.691 --> 00:10:31.525
You plug yourself in through faith and obedience.
00:10:31.591 --> 00:10:34.027
Through faith and obedience. but the second that you pick
00:10:34.094 --> 00:10:34.995
But the second that you pick up your tradition instead of
00:10:35.062 --> 00:10:36.930
Up your tradition instead of his promise,
00:10:36.997 --> 00:10:37.764
His promise, you have disconnected yourself
00:10:37.831 --> 00:10:39.533
You have disconnected yourself from where god wants you
00:10:39.599 --> 00:10:40.333
From where god wants you to connect.
00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:43.070
To connect. a second cause of ignorance
00:10:43.136 --> 00:10:45.105
A second cause of ignorance and disconnection
00:10:45.172 --> 00:10:46.440
And disconnection is personal experience.
00:10:46.506 --> 00:10:49.609
Is personal experience. the second group might not
00:10:49.676 --> 00:10:50.644
The second group might not have that much religious
00:10:50.711 --> 00:10:51.912
Have that much religious tradition,
00:10:51.978 --> 00:10:52.612
Tradition, so what they do is they base
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.147
So what they do is they base their beliefs on what
00:10:54.214 --> 00:10:55.515
Their beliefs on what they have seen,
00:10:55.582 --> 00:10:56.616
They have seen, what they have heard,
00:10:56.683 --> 00:10:57.551
What they have heard, and what they have felt.
00:10:57.617 --> 00:10:59.486
And what they have felt. now what you need to
00:10:59.553 --> 00:11:00.053
Now what you need to understand is your experiences
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.955
Understand is your experiences are not invalid.
00:11:02.022 --> 00:11:02.989
Are not invalid. your experiences are yours.
00:11:03.056 --> 00:11:04.558
Your experiences are yours. but your experiences are not
00:11:04.624 --> 00:11:06.026
But your experiences are not more powerful than
00:11:06.093 --> 00:11:07.360
More powerful than god's truth.
00:11:07.427 --> 00:11:08.795
God's truth. [amen.]
00:11:08.862 --> 00:11:10.297
[amen.] experiential people,
00:11:10.363 --> 00:11:11.732
Experiential people, they say things like,
00:11:11.798 --> 00:11:12.666
They say things like, "i know what the word of god
00:11:12.733 --> 00:11:14.134
"i know what the word of god says,
00:11:14.201 --> 00:11:14.601
Says, but let me tell you what i've
00:11:14.668 --> 00:11:15.635
But let me tell you what i've seen."
00:11:15.702 --> 00:11:18.105
Seen." experiential people say,
00:11:18.171 --> 00:11:19.239
Experiential people say, "well, based on what i've
00:11:19.306 --> 00:11:20.907
"well, based on what i've seen..."
00:11:20.974 --> 00:11:21.742
Seen..." i'll give you an example.
00:11:21.808 --> 00:11:23.810
I'll give you an example. an experiential person would
00:11:23.877 --> 00:11:25.078
An experiential person would say,
00:11:25.145 --> 00:11:25.712
Say, "every time someone gets saved
00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:27.781
"every time someone gets saved and they say
00:11:27.848 --> 00:11:28.281
And they say the sinner's prayer,
00:11:28.348 --> 00:11:28.982
The sinner's prayer, they cry.
00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:30.650
They cry. so if you don't cry when you
00:11:30.717 --> 00:11:32.452
So if you don't cry when you receive jesus,
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.153
Receive jesus, you're not really saved."
00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:34.988
You're not really saved." (laughter)
00:11:35.055 --> 00:11:36.323
(laughter) now that sounds silly,
00:11:36.389 --> 00:11:37.390
Now that sounds silly, but often times,
00:11:37.457 --> 00:11:38.325
But often times, that's just about how deep
00:11:38.391 --> 00:11:39.292
That's just about how deep we get.
00:11:39.359 --> 00:11:41.495
We get. here's what the bible says.
00:11:41.561 --> 00:11:42.763
Here's what the bible says. romans 10:9,
00:11:42.829 --> 00:11:44.464
Romans 10:9, "if you confess with your
00:11:44.531 --> 00:11:45.832
"if you confess with your mouth that jesus christ is
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:47.400
Mouth that jesus christ is lord and you believe
00:11:47.467 --> 00:11:48.468
Lord and you believe in your heart that god raised
00:11:48.535 --> 00:11:49.936
In your heart that god raised him from the dead,
00:11:50.003 --> 00:11:50.871
Him from the dead, you will be saved."
00:11:50.937 --> 00:11:54.040
You will be saved." [amen.]
00:11:54.107 --> 00:11:54.775
[amen.] now who reads in that verse
00:11:54.841 --> 00:11:55.909
Now who reads in that verse that tears are a required part
00:11:55.976 --> 00:11:58.345
That tears are a required part of the event?
00:11:58.411 --> 00:12:01.014
Of the event? believe in your heart.
00:12:01.081 --> 00:12:01.748
Believe in your heart. confess with your mouth.
00:12:01.815 --> 00:12:02.816
Confess with your mouth. you will be saved.
00:12:02.883 --> 00:12:04.618
You will be saved. no tears required.
00:12:04.684 --> 00:12:07.120
No tears required. (laughter)
00:12:07.187 --> 00:12:08.455
(laughter) so an experiential christian
00:12:08.522 --> 00:12:09.723
So an experiential christian says, "oh, no. no. no.
00:12:09.790 --> 00:12:10.657
Says, "oh, no. no. no. i've seen people get
00:12:10.724 --> 00:12:11.825
I've seen people get emotional."
00:12:11.892 --> 00:12:12.325
Emotional." i have, too.
00:12:12.392 --> 00:12:13.059
I have, too. emotions are good.
00:12:13.126 --> 00:12:13.927
Emotions are good. but emotions do not validate
00:12:13.994 --> 00:12:15.562
But emotions do not validate the work of god in your life.
00:12:15.629 --> 00:12:17.531
The work of god in your life. [amen!]
00:12:17.597 --> 00:12:18.632
[amen!] (applause)
00:12:18.698 --> 00:12:21.635
Do you pray as a family?
00:12:22.169 --> 00:12:23.937
Do you write down your prayers?
00:12:23.937 --> 00:12:26.106
Keeping a prayer
00:12:26.106 --> 00:12:26.873
Journal is more than a habit,
00:12:26.873 --> 00:12:29.009
It's a legacy.

A testimony of god's
00:12:29.876 --> 00:12:31.211
Faithfulness.
00:12:31.211 --> 00:12:32.145
Written across the pages
00:12:32.145 --> 00:12:33.580
Of your life,
00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:34.447

That he moves on your behalf
00:12:38.151 --> 00:12:40.220
And that he is
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:40.821

Jhm.org/answers
00:13:17.557 --> 00:13:23.196
When you base your theology
00:13:23.263 --> 00:13:24.364
When you base your theology on an experience,
00:13:24.431 --> 00:13:25.265
On an experience, you immediately begin to drift
00:13:25.332 --> 00:13:26.733
You immediately begin to drift towards your understanding
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:28.635
Towards your understanding instead of god's leading.
00:13:28.702 --> 00:13:30.070
Instead of god's leading. god's power is not hemmed in
00:13:30.136 --> 00:13:32.138
God's power is not hemmed in by your tradition
00:13:32.205 --> 00:13:33.006
By your tradition or your experience.
00:13:33.073 --> 00:13:34.007
Or your experience. he is god.
00:13:34.074 --> 00:13:35.175
He is god. he can do what he wants,
00:13:35.242 --> 00:13:36.509
He can do what he wants, when he wants,
00:13:36.576 --> 00:13:37.344
When he wants, like he wants,
00:13:37.410 --> 00:13:38.345
Like he wants, any way that he wants.
00:13:38.411 --> 00:13:39.913
Any way that he wants. (applause)
00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:40.547
(applause) and the question is not,
00:13:40.614 --> 00:13:41.348
And the question is not, who is god?
00:13:41.414 --> 00:13:42.015
Who is god? but the question is,
00:13:42.082 --> 00:13:42.716
But the question is, are you connected?
00:13:42.782 --> 00:13:45.518
Are you connected? [amen.]
00:13:45.585 --> 00:13:46.019
[amen.] now here's the third reason
00:13:46.086 --> 00:13:47.354
Now here's the third reason for ignorance.
00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:48.021
For ignorance. and it takes tradition
00:13:48.088 --> 00:13:49.456
And it takes tradition and it takes experience
00:13:49.522 --> 00:13:50.957
And it takes experience and it creates something else.
00:13:51.024 --> 00:13:52.492
And it creates something else. and this is called
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.159
And this is called "misconception."
00:13:53.226 --> 00:13:55.729
"misconception." when your tradition
00:13:55.795 --> 00:13:56.463
When your tradition and your experience
00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:57.230
And your experience become the basis of
00:13:57.297 --> 00:13:58.265
Become the basis of your understanding,
00:13:58.331 --> 00:13:59.366
Your understanding, you are most of the time
00:13:59.432 --> 00:14:00.967
You are most of the time in a misconceived position.
00:14:01.034 --> 00:14:03.403
In a misconceived position. they have a little bit of
00:14:03.470 --> 00:14:04.104
They have a little bit of tradition.
00:14:04.170 --> 00:14:04.604
Tradition. they have a little bit of
00:14:04.671 --> 00:14:05.305
They have a little bit of experience.
00:14:05.372 --> 00:14:06.006
Experience. they have a lot of immaturity.
00:14:06.072 --> 00:14:08.041
They have a lot of immaturity. and they need more
00:14:08.108 --> 00:14:08.708
And they need more understanding.
00:14:08.775 --> 00:14:09.376
Understanding. but instead,
00:14:09.442 --> 00:14:09.910
But instead, they just take all these bad
00:14:09.976 --> 00:14:11.077
They just take all these bad ingredients and they cook up
00:14:11.144 --> 00:14:12.379
Ingredients and they cook up a story and start telling
00:14:12.445 --> 00:14:13.480
A story and start telling people,
00:14:13.546 --> 00:14:13.980
People, "well, this is what
00:14:14.047 --> 00:14:14.514
"well, this is what i believe."
00:14:14.581 --> 00:14:15.215
I believe." if it's not in the book,
00:14:15.282 --> 00:14:16.416
If it's not in the book, don't believe it.
00:14:16.483 --> 00:14:18.151
Don't believe it. [yes!]
00:14:18.218 --> 00:14:18.785
[yes!] [woo!]
00:14:18.852 --> 00:14:19.519
[woo!] (applause)
00:14:19.586 --> 00:14:26.426
(applause) and this brings us to
00:14:26.493 --> 00:14:27.260
And this brings us to the fourth source of ignorance
00:14:27.327 --> 00:14:28.862
The fourth source of ignorance and that is a lack of desire.
00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:33.300
And that is a lack of desire. and that's the most dangerous
00:14:33.366 --> 00:14:34.301
And that's the most dangerous one of all.
00:14:34.367 --> 00:14:36.002
One of all. your traditions can be
00:14:36.069 --> 00:14:37.137
Your traditions can be overcome by the power of
00:14:37.203 --> 00:14:38.305
Overcome by the power of the holy spirit the second
00:14:38.371 --> 00:14:39.739
The holy spirit the second your life connects with
00:14:39.806 --> 00:14:40.607
Your life connects with the source.
00:14:40.674 --> 00:14:41.741
The source. your experiences can be
00:14:41.808 --> 00:14:43.209
Your experiences can be overshadowed by the power of

Your life connects with the source.
00:14:46.646 --> 00:14:47.247
The source. your misconceptions can be
00:14:47.314 --> 00:14:48.615
Your misconceptions can be erased by the power of
00:14:48.682 --> 00:14:49.783
Erased by the power of the holy spirit the second

Your life connects with the source.
00:14:51.885 --> 00:14:52.452
The source. but if you don't have
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:53.286
But if you don't have an appetite for god,
00:14:53.353 --> 00:14:54.654
An appetite for god, there's nothing he can do
00:14:54.721 --> 00:14:55.989
There's nothing he can do about it.
00:14:56.056 --> 00:14:56.656
About it. it's up to you.
00:14:56.723 --> 00:14:58.058
It's up to you. [that's right.]
00:14:58.124 --> 00:14:59.526
[that's right.] jesus said that blessed are
00:14:59.592 --> 00:15:01.728
Jesus said that blessed are those who hunger and thirst
00:15:01.795 --> 00:15:03.196
Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
00:15:03.263 --> 00:15:04.731
After righteousness, for they shall be filled.
00:15:04.798 --> 00:15:06.700
For they shall be filled. [that's right.]
00:15:06.766 --> 00:15:07.267
[that's right.] in john 6, he said,
00:15:07.334 --> 00:15:08.435
In john 6, he said, "i am the bread of life.
00:15:08.501 --> 00:15:10.203
"i am the bread of life. and whoever comes to me shall
00:15:10.270 --> 00:15:11.538
And whoever comes to me shall never hunger.
00:15:11.604 --> 00:15:12.405
Never hunger. and whoever believes in me
00:15:12.472 --> 00:15:14.240
And whoever believes in me shall never thirst."
00:15:14.307 --> 00:15:15.709
Shall never thirst." the psalmist wrote,
00:15:15.775 --> 00:15:16.409
The psalmist wrote, "oh, taste and see that
00:15:16.476 --> 00:15:18.144
"oh, taste and see that the lord is," what?
00:15:18.211 --> 00:15:20.246
The lord is," what? "good."
00:15:20.313 --> 00:15:20.880
"good." but what do you have to do
00:15:20.947 --> 00:15:21.982
But what do you have to do before you get to
00:15:22.048 --> 00:15:22.649
Before you get to his goodness?
00:15:22.716 --> 00:15:23.683
His goodness? taste and see.
00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:26.553
Taste and see. you know where appetite
00:15:26.619 --> 00:15:27.420
You know where appetite comes from?
00:15:27.487 --> 00:15:29.456
Comes from? eating.
00:15:29.522 --> 00:15:31.858
Eating. if you don't eat it,
00:15:31.925 --> 00:15:32.926
If you don't eat it, you don't have an appetite
00:15:32.993 --> 00:15:33.827
You don't have an appetite for it.
00:15:33.893 --> 00:15:35.295
For it. but the second that you
00:15:35.362 --> 00:15:36.162
But the second that you eat it,
00:15:36.229 --> 00:15:37.063
Eat it, based on your experience with
00:15:37.130 --> 00:15:38.498
Based on your experience with what you're taking in,
00:15:38.565 --> 00:15:39.566
What you're taking in, your brain tells your body
00:15:39.632 --> 00:15:41.334
Your brain tells your body good or bad.
00:15:41.401 --> 00:15:44.037
Good or bad. you don't have to feed
00:15:44.104 --> 00:15:45.038
You don't have to feed ice cream to a kid but once
00:15:45.105 --> 00:15:46.539
Ice cream to a kid but once before they have an appetite
00:15:46.606 --> 00:15:47.574
Before they have an appetite for it.
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:49.109
For it. [amen.]
00:15:49.175 --> 00:15:49.776
[amen.] why?
00:15:49.843 --> 00:15:51.177
Why? because based on what they've
00:15:51.244 --> 00:15:52.212
Because based on what they've eaten,
00:15:52.278 --> 00:15:52.779
Eaten, their appetite says
00:15:52.846 --> 00:15:53.713
Their appetite says up or down.
00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:55.882
Up or down. and if you don't have
00:15:55.949 --> 00:15:56.483
And if you don't have an appetite for the things
00:15:56.549 --> 00:15:57.417
An appetite for the things of god,
00:15:57.484 --> 00:15:58.184
Of god, it's because you haven't taken
00:15:58.251 --> 00:15:59.452
It's because you haven't taken the bread of life and ingested
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.287
The bread of life and ingested it and allowed it to work
00:16:01.354 --> 00:16:02.689
It and allowed it to work in your life.
00:16:02.756 --> 00:16:03.590
In your life. if you don't have a thirst
00:16:03.656 --> 00:16:04.557
If you don't have a thirst for god,
00:16:04.624 --> 00:16:05.291
For god, it's because you haven't drank
00:16:05.358 --> 00:16:06.593
It's because you haven't drank from a well of living water
00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:08.028
From a well of living water and been quenched in
00:16:08.094 --> 00:16:09.029
And been quenched in a dry season.
00:16:09.095 --> 00:16:10.964
A dry season. here's what paul said to

[amen.] hebrews 12:27,
00:18:55.461 --> 00:18:57.263
Hebrews 12:27, it starts to discuss a nation
00:18:57.330 --> 00:18:58.765
It starts to discuss a nation and a world that's shaking.
00:18:58.831 --> 00:19:01.034
And a world that's shaking. "everything that can be shaken
00:19:01.100 --> 00:19:02.302
"everything that can be shaken will be shaken until what
00:19:02.368 --> 00:19:03.836
Will be shaken until what remains is unshakable."
00:19:03.903 --> 00:19:07.774
Remains is unshakable." and then verse 29 says,
00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:09.709
And then verse 29 says, "our god is a consuming fire."
00:19:09.776 --> 00:19:11.945
"our god is a consuming fire." say that with me.
00:19:12.011 --> 00:19:12.912
Say that with me. "our god is a consuming fire."

Now remember, i stated earlier that every
00:19:17.350 --> 00:19:18.585
I stated earlier that every time you see or hear fire,
00:19:18.651 --> 00:19:20.386
Time you see or hear fire, it is a manifestation of god's
00:19:20.453 --> 00:19:21.921
It is a manifestation of god's presence and god's power.
00:19:21.988 --> 00:19:25.625
Presence and god's power. so we live in a world that's
00:19:25.692 --> 00:19:26.359

00:19:26.426 --> 00:19:27.760
Shaking. ♪ music ♪

♪ music ♪ and in this shaking world,
00:19:29.529 --> 00:19:30.463
And in this shaking world, i believe that the holy spirit
00:19:30.530 --> 00:19:31.564
I believe that the holy spirit of god is asking us,
00:19:31.631 --> 00:19:34.234
Of god is asking us, "do you trust me?
00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:36.803
"do you trust me? do you trust me?
00:19:36.869 --> 00:19:40.106
Do you trust me? are you going to clutch to
00:19:40.173 --> 00:19:42.175
Are you going to clutch to the things of this world?
00:19:42.242 --> 00:19:45.545
The things of this world? or are you going to cling to
00:19:45.612 --> 00:19:47.280
Or are you going to cling to the promise of god?"
00:19:47.347 --> 00:19:49.782
The promise of god?" and you say,
00:19:49.849 --> 00:19:50.216
And you say, "what's the difference between
00:19:50.283 --> 00:19:51.117
"what's the difference between clutching and clinging?"
00:19:51.184 --> 00:19:53.353
Clutching and clinging?" when you clutch to something,
00:19:53.419 --> 00:19:54.988
When you clutch to something, you're holding on to it
00:19:55.054 --> 00:19:56.689
You're holding on to it hoping that it won't get away
00:19:56.756 --> 00:19:57.924
Hoping that it won't get away from you.
00:19:57.991 --> 00:19:59.859
From you. when you cling to something,
00:19:59.926 --> 00:20:03.096

The things of this world and try to hold on to them?
00:20:12.972 --> 00:20:14.340
And try to hold on to them? or are you going to cling to
00:20:14.407 --> 00:20:15.475

Your life. if you're connected to

If you're connected to the source of power,
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:28.821
The source of power, which is the holy spirit,
00:20:28.888 --> 00:20:30.023
Which is the holy spirit, then the fire of god burns
00:20:30.089 --> 00:20:32.025
Then the fire of god burns in your life.
00:20:32.091 --> 00:20:33.660

Them and they'll tear your life apart.
00:20:43.603 --> 00:20:45.171
Your life apart. [amen.]
