♪ music ♪ pastor matt hagee: jesus is
00:00:13.874 --> 00:00:14.708
Pastor matt hagee: jesus is having a conversation
00:00:14.775 --> 00:00:15.676
Having a conversation with more than 500 people
00:00:15.743 --> 00:00:17.845
With more than 500 people in acts 1:4.
00:00:17.912 --> 00:00:20.414
In acts 1:4. we know that there's more than
00:00:20.481 --> 00:00:21.382
We know that there's more than 500 people,
00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:22.483
500 people, because later
00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:23.150
Because later in the new testament,
00:00:23.217 --> 00:00:23.984
In the new testament, paul writes that he appeared
00:00:24.051 --> 00:00:25.719
Paul writes that he appeared to 500 witnesses.
00:00:25.786 --> 00:00:28.489
To 500 witnesses. whenever we read that he,
00:00:28.556 --> 00:00:29.857
Whenever we read that he, jesus, was assembled
00:00:29.924 --> 00:00:30.758
Jesus, was assembled with them,
00:00:30.825 --> 00:00:31.358
With them, it's not just the 11
00:00:31.425 --> 00:00:32.660
It's not just the 11 disciples,
00:00:32.726 --> 00:00:33.594
Disciples, but it's the 11 disciples plus
00:00:33.661 --> 00:00:35.663
But it's the 11 disciples plus those who had heard that jesus
00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:37.465
Those who had heard that jesus who was crucified had been
00:00:37.531 --> 00:00:38.899
Who was crucified had been risen again.
00:00:38.966 --> 00:00:39.934
Risen again. and now they wanted to see
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.135
And now they wanted to see for themselves if it was true.
00:00:41.202 --> 00:00:44.038
For themselves if it was true. to all who were there,
00:00:44.105 --> 00:00:45.439
To all who were there, jesus gives the command,
00:00:45.506 --> 00:00:47.875
Jesus gives the command, "do not leave jerusalem."
00:00:47.942 --> 00:00:50.744
"do not leave jerusalem." how many of you know what
00:00:50.811 --> 00:00:51.545
How many of you know what a command is?
00:00:51.612 --> 00:00:52.746
A command is? how many of you know what
00:00:52.813 --> 00:00:53.414
How many of you know what "do not" means?
00:00:53.481 --> 00:00:54.915
"do not" means? [yep.]
00:00:54.982 --> 00:00:55.282
[yep.] okay.
00:00:55.349 --> 00:00:56.250
Okay. (laughter)
00:00:56.317 --> 00:00:57.084
(laughter) so just a few days later,
00:00:57.151 --> 00:00:58.486
So just a few days later, when the day of pentecost
00:00:58.552 --> 00:00:59.620
When the day of pentecost had come in acts 2,
00:00:59.687 --> 00:01:01.755
Had come in acts 2, there's not 500 people
00:01:01.822 --> 00:01:03.190
There's not 500 people in the upper room;
00:01:03.257 --> 00:01:03.991
In the upper room; there's 120 in the upper room.
00:01:04.058 --> 00:01:08.095
There's 120 in the upper room. why?
00:01:08.162 --> 00:01:09.663
Why? one reason is many people are
00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:12.466
One reason is many people are interested to hear the promise
00:01:12.533 --> 00:01:14.201
Interested to hear the promise of god,
00:01:14.268 --> 00:01:14.902
Of god, but they're not willing to do
00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:15.870
But they're not willing to do what needs to be done to
00:01:15.936 --> 00:01:17.271
What needs to be done to receive the promise of god.
00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:20.174
Receive the promise of god. [amen.]
00:01:20.241 --> 00:01:20.941
[amen.] and the promise that he spoke
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:21.976
And the promise that he spoke about was not just something
00:01:22.042 --> 00:01:23.277
About was not just something that was coming from
00:01:23.344 --> 00:01:24.078
That was coming from the father,
00:01:24.145 --> 00:01:24.645
The father, which was the holy spirit,
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:25.913
Which was the holy spirit, but it was a promise that
00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:26.914
But it was a promise that brought something with it,
00:01:26.981 --> 00:01:28.182
Brought something with it, and that was power.
00:01:28.249 --> 00:01:31.152
And that was power. power to do what?
00:01:31.218 --> 00:01:33.220
Power to do what? look at the description
00:01:33.287 --> 00:01:34.488
Look at the description in acts 17:6
00:01:34.555 --> 00:01:37.091
In acts 17:6 about those who received
00:01:37.158 --> 00:01:38.359
About those who received the power of the promise
00:01:38.425 --> 00:01:40.060
The power of the promise of the holy spirit
00:01:40.127 --> 00:01:40.861
Of the holy spirit in their lives.
00:01:40.928 --> 00:01:41.929
In their lives. it says,
00:01:41.996 --> 00:01:42.763
It says, "these are they who have
00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:44.465
"these are they who have turned the world upside down."
00:01:44.532 --> 00:01:48.335
Turned the world upside down." [amen.]
00:01:48.402 --> 00:01:49.003
[amen.] the power of the holy spirit
00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:50.437
The power of the holy spirit in the life of new testament
00:01:50.504 --> 00:01:51.872
In the life of new testament believers was such
00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:53.274
Believers was such an awesome thing that
00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:54.875
An awesome thing that it disrupted every norm
00:01:54.942 --> 00:01:57.111
It disrupted every norm and every standard.
00:01:57.178 --> 00:01:58.245
And every standard. it disrupted rome
00:01:58.312 --> 00:02:00.080
It disrupted rome and its government.
00:02:00.147 --> 00:02:01.315
And its government. rome had a sword that was
00:02:01.382 --> 00:02:03.417
Rome had a sword that was attached to the hip of
00:02:03.484 --> 00:02:04.451
Attached to the hip of every soldier.
00:02:04.518 --> 00:02:05.452
Every soldier. but the church had a weapon
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:06.787
But the church had a weapon that was greater than
00:02:06.854 --> 00:02:07.588
That was greater than the sword that rome held.
00:02:07.655 --> 00:02:09.890
The sword that rome held. (applause)
00:02:09.957 --> 00:02:12.259
(applause) he said,
00:02:12.326 --> 00:02:12.927
He said, "you shall receive power."
00:02:12.993 --> 00:02:14.395
"you shall receive power." say that with me.
00:02:14.461 --> 00:02:15.429
Say that with me. "you shall receive power."
00:02:15.496 --> 00:02:18.432
"you shall receive power." and that power is so that you
00:02:18.499 --> 00:02:20.501
And that power is so that you will be a witness --
00:02:20.568 --> 00:02:22.102
Will be a witness -- [yes.]
00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:22.770
[yes.] -- not a secret agent.
00:02:22.836 --> 00:02:24.672
-- not a secret agent. (laughter)
00:02:24.738 --> 00:02:26.407
(laughter) you didn't get saved
00:02:26.473 --> 00:02:27.474
You didn't get saved and join the witness
00:02:27.541 --> 00:02:28.309
And join the witness protection program.
00:02:28.375 --> 00:02:29.877
Protection program. (laughter)
00:02:29.944 --> 00:02:32.746
(laughter) it's not that you don't want
00:02:32.813 --> 00:02:33.547
It's not that you don't want people to know who you are
00:02:33.614 --> 00:02:34.615
People to know who you are and what you're about.
00:02:34.682 --> 00:02:36.684
And what you're about. but this power is so that you
00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:39.653
But this power is so that you will tell the world who he is.
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:42.256
Will tell the world who he is. [that's right.]
00:02:42.323 --> 00:02:42.890
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:02:42.957 --> 00:02:43.424
[amen.] one of the reasons why we
00:02:43.490 --> 00:02:44.358
One of the reasons why we struggle with this idea
00:02:44.425 --> 00:02:45.859
Struggle with this idea is because we are operating
00:02:45.926 --> 00:02:47.595
Is because we are operating on the wrong system.
00:02:47.661 --> 00:02:50.664
On the wrong system. who's program are you
00:02:50.731 --> 00:02:52.333
Who's program are you operating on?
00:02:52.399 --> 00:02:53.834
Operating on? our lives,
00:02:53.901 --> 00:02:54.835
Our lives, now much more than ever,
00:02:54.902 --> 00:02:56.303
Now much more than ever, are reliant upon technology.
00:02:56.370 --> 00:02:58.205
Are reliant upon technology. how many of you would agree
00:02:58.272 --> 00:02:59.106
How many of you would agree with that?
00:02:59.173 --> 00:03:00.507
With that? i mean you used to know how to
00:03:00.574 --> 00:03:01.642
I mean you used to know how to read a map.
00:03:01.709 --> 00:03:03.644
Read a map. now your phone knows more
00:03:03.711 --> 00:03:05.012
Now your phone knows more about where you're going
00:03:05.079 --> 00:03:05.946
About where you're going than you do.
00:03:06.013 --> 00:03:07.248
Than you do. (laughter)
00:03:07.314 --> 00:03:08.015
(laughter) you used to remember
00:03:08.082 --> 00:03:08.983
You used to remember phone numbers.
00:03:09.049 --> 00:03:10.451
Phone numbers. [yes.]
00:03:10.517 --> 00:03:11.919
[yes.] with area codes.
00:03:11.986 --> 00:03:14.488
With area codes. now your phone asks you
00:03:14.555 --> 00:03:16.223
Now your phone asks you if you would like for it
00:03:16.290 --> 00:03:17.291
If you would like for it to make a call.
00:03:17.358 --> 00:03:20.027
To make a call. we used to get together
00:03:20.094 --> 00:03:21.662
We used to get together at barbecues and talk about
00:03:21.729 --> 00:03:23.564
At barbecues and talk about preferences like,
00:03:23.631 --> 00:03:24.765
Preferences like, "are you a ford
00:03:24.832 --> 00:03:25.899
"are you a ford or a chevy man?"
00:03:25.966 --> 00:03:27.501
Or a chevy man?" (laughter)
00:03:27.568 --> 00:03:29.103
(laughter) and now we talk about,
00:03:29.169 --> 00:03:29.970
And now we talk about, "are you an apple
00:03:30.037 --> 00:03:31.138
"are you an apple or an android?"
00:03:31.205 --> 00:03:33.240
Or an android?" (laughter)
00:03:33.307 --> 00:03:34.942
(laughter) "lyft or uber?"
00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:37.511
"lyft or uber?" (laughter)
00:03:37.578 --> 00:03:40.347
(laughter) in this world of technology,
00:03:40.414 --> 00:03:41.982
In this world of technology, there are three major
00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:42.916
There are three major components of every piece of
00:03:42.983 --> 00:03:45.019
Components of every piece of technology.
00:03:45.085 --> 00:03:46.420
Technology. there's hardware,
00:03:46.487 --> 00:03:48.289
There's hardware, there's software,
00:03:48.355 --> 00:03:50.190
There's software, and then there is an operating
00:03:50.257 --> 00:03:52.192
And then there is an operating system.
00:03:52.259 --> 00:03:53.594
System. and if any of these three
00:03:53.661 --> 00:03:55.229
And if any of these three don't work,
00:03:55.296 --> 00:03:56.563
Don't work, something with your system
00:03:56.630 --> 00:03:58.232
Something with your system is wrong.
00:03:58.299 --> 00:03:59.566
Is wrong. for example,
00:03:59.633 --> 00:04:00.601
For example, look at this device here.
00:04:00.668 --> 00:04:03.037
Look at this device here. it's a computer.
00:04:03.103 --> 00:04:04.905
It's a computer. this is hardware.
00:04:04.972 --> 00:04:06.407
This is hardware. the monitor,
00:04:06.473 --> 00:04:07.308
The monitor, the keyboard,
00:04:07.374 --> 00:04:08.142
The keyboard, everything that's physical
00:04:08.208 --> 00:04:09.376
Everything that's physical that you can touch is what
00:04:09.443 --> 00:04:11.345
That you can touch is what we could call hardware.
00:04:11.412 --> 00:04:12.846
We could call hardware. now, somebody wrote some
00:04:12.913 --> 00:04:16.183
Now, somebody wrote some instructions that tells
00:04:16.250 --> 00:04:17.618
Instructions that tells the hardware how to operate,
00:04:17.685 --> 00:04:19.420
The hardware how to operate, so that whenever you turn it
00:04:19.486 --> 00:04:20.487
So that whenever you turn it on,
00:04:20.554 --> 00:04:20.988
On, it turns on,
00:04:21.055 --> 00:04:21.955
It turns on, and whenever you swipe up,
00:04:22.022 --> 00:04:23.157
And whenever you swipe up, it swipes up.
00:04:23.223 --> 00:04:24.091
It swipes up. whenever you hit on
00:04:24.158 --> 00:04:25.125
Whenever you hit on the keyboard,
00:04:25.192 --> 00:04:25.726
The keyboard, the letter you hit shows up
00:04:25.793 --> 00:04:27.061
The letter you hit shows up on the screen.
00:04:27.127 --> 00:04:28.629
On the screen. the written instructions
00:04:28.696 --> 00:04:29.930
The written instructions of technology,
00:04:29.997 --> 00:04:30.864
Of technology, that's not hardware;
00:04:30.931 --> 00:04:32.433
That's not hardware; that's software.
00:04:32.499 --> 00:04:34.768
That's software. that's the programming that
00:04:34.835 --> 00:04:36.103
That's the programming that tells the hardware what to do,
00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:38.305
Tells the hardware what to do, when to do it,
00:04:38.372 --> 00:04:39.139
When to do it, and how to do it.
00:04:39.206 --> 00:04:40.774
And how to do it. now, another unseen part of
00:04:40.841 --> 00:04:44.111
Now, another unseen part of this system is called
00:04:44.178 --> 00:04:46.180
This system is called the operating system.
00:04:46.246 --> 00:04:47.481
The operating system. now, people,
00:04:47.548 --> 00:04:48.515
Now, people, who work in technology,
00:04:48.582 --> 00:04:50.150
Who work in technology, love acronyms.
00:04:50.217 --> 00:04:52.152
Love acronyms. (laughter)
00:04:52.219 --> 00:04:52.920
(laughter) and i heard them talking about
00:04:52.986 --> 00:04:53.854
And i heard them talking about the os.
00:04:53.921 --> 00:04:56.056
The os. and i'm kind of illiterate
00:04:56.123 --> 00:04:58.225
And i'm kind of illiterate about stuff,
00:04:58.292 --> 00:04:58.826
About stuff, but i just nod really well,
00:04:58.892 --> 00:05:00.861
But i just nod really well, and be like,
00:05:00.928 --> 00:05:01.428
And be like, "oh, yeah, the os and the cig,
00:05:01.495 --> 00:05:05.232
"oh, yeah, the os and the cig, and the ram,
00:05:05.299 --> 00:05:06.667
And the ram, and the tct."
00:05:06.734 --> 00:05:10.070
And the tct." (laughter)
00:05:10.137 --> 00:05:11.004
(laughter) but i found out by asking
00:05:11.071 --> 00:05:13.273
But i found out by asking somebody after the meeting,
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:14.708
Somebody after the meeting, "what's the os?"
00:05:14.775 --> 00:05:16.610
"what's the os?" (laughter)
00:05:16.677 --> 00:05:17.778
(laughter) they said,
00:05:17.845 --> 00:05:18.178
They said, "it's the operating system."
00:05:18.245 --> 00:05:20.381
"it's the operating system." so between the hardware,
00:05:20.447 --> 00:05:22.015
So between the hardware, the stuff you see,
00:05:22.082 --> 00:05:24.284
The stuff you see, and the software,
00:05:24.351 --> 00:05:25.319
And the software, the programming that's
00:05:25.386 --> 00:05:26.286
The programming that's written,
00:05:26.353 --> 00:05:27.521
Written, there's also an operating
00:05:27.588 --> 00:05:29.056
There's also an operating system.
00:05:29.123 --> 00:05:30.324
System. and it's the job of
00:05:30.391 --> 00:05:31.291
And it's the job of the operating system
00:05:31.358 --> 00:05:32.526
The operating system to make sure that
00:05:32.593 --> 00:05:33.660
To make sure that the written instructions
00:05:33.727 --> 00:05:34.895
The written instructions are understood by the hardware
00:05:34.962 --> 00:05:36.997
Are understood by the hardware and that the hardware
00:05:37.064 --> 00:05:37.898
And that the hardware understands the written
00:05:37.965 --> 00:05:39.099
Understands the written instructions.
00:05:39.166 --> 00:05:40.768
Instructions. now here's the thing;
00:05:40.834 --> 00:05:42.469
Now here's the thing; if you have the right hardware
00:05:42.536 --> 00:05:44.838
If you have the right hardware and you have the right
00:05:44.905 --> 00:05:45.873
And you have the right software,
00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:46.673
Software, but you have the wrong
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:47.908
But you have the wrong operating system,
00:05:47.975 --> 00:05:49.243
Operating system, then things don't work
00:05:49.309 --> 00:05:50.377
Then things don't work like they're supposed to work.
00:05:50.444 --> 00:05:52.112
Like they're supposed to work. [right.]
00:05:52.179 --> 00:05:52.746
[right.] said it this way,
00:05:52.813 --> 00:05:53.747
Said it this way, "you can't run macintosh
00:05:53.814 --> 00:05:55.849
"you can't run macintosh operating systems
00:05:55.916 --> 00:05:56.950
Operating systems on microsoft products."
00:05:57.017 --> 00:05:59.319
On microsoft products." [amen.]
00:05:59.386 --> 00:05:59.920
[amen.] you can't run apple
00:05:59.987 --> 00:06:01.422
You can't run apple on android.
00:06:01.488 --> 00:06:02.923
On android. [right.]
00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:03.524
[right.] if you do,
00:06:03.590 --> 00:06:04.491
If you do, they don't work right.
00:06:04.558 --> 00:06:06.493
They don't work right. it's too slow.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.861
It's too slow. things that should be open
00:06:07.928 --> 00:06:09.229
Things that should be open are closed.
00:06:09.296 --> 00:06:10.130
Are closed. things that should be closed
00:06:10.197 --> 00:06:11.498
Things that should be closed are open.
00:06:11.565 --> 00:06:12.399
Are open. things that shouldn't run,
00:06:12.466 --> 00:06:13.834
Things that shouldn't run, run.
00:06:13.901 --> 00:06:14.368
Run. things that should stop
00:06:14.435 --> 00:06:15.335
Things that should stop running,
00:06:15.402 --> 00:06:15.869
Running, keep running.
00:06:15.936 --> 00:06:17.838
Keep running. you won't be able to do what
00:06:17.905 --> 00:06:18.939
You won't be able to do what you need to do if you're on
00:06:19.006 --> 00:06:20.741
You need to do if you're on the wrong operating system.
00:06:20.808 --> 00:06:23.243
The wrong operating system. now some of you say,
00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:23.844
Now some of you say, "pastor matt,
00:06:23.911 --> 00:06:24.478
"pastor matt, what does this have to do with
00:06:24.545 --> 00:06:25.446
What does this have to do with the holy spirit?"
00:06:25.512 --> 00:06:26.113
The holy spirit?" i'm so glad you asked.
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.881
I'm so glad you asked. (laughter)
00:06:27.948 --> 00:06:30.551
(laughter) you and i are made up
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:34.488
You and i are made up of several components:
00:06:34.555 --> 00:06:36.290
Of several components: heart, soul, mind, and body.
00:06:36.356 --> 00:06:39.693
Heart, soul, mind, and body. our hardware,
00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:40.794
Our hardware, our physical bodies,
00:06:40.861 --> 00:06:42.262
Our physical bodies, the things that you can see,
00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:44.898
The things that you can see, are not intended to operate on
00:06:44.965 --> 00:06:47.267
Are not intended to operate on the world's instructions.
00:06:47.334 --> 00:06:49.136
The world's instructions. [amen.]
00:06:49.203 --> 00:06:49.736
[amen.] the bible says,
00:06:49.803 --> 00:06:50.270
The bible says, "we are in this world
00:06:50.337 --> 00:06:51.672
"we are in this world and not of this world."
00:06:51.738 --> 00:06:52.873
And not of this world." this is the software that god
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:55.776
This is the software that god intended for our lives
00:06:55.843 --> 00:06:57.110
Intended for our lives to operate in.
00:06:57.177 --> 00:06:58.545
To operate in. this is what we are supposed
00:06:58.612 --> 00:06:59.947
This is what we are supposed to be ingesting
00:07:00.013 --> 00:07:01.482
To be ingesting and functioning on.
00:07:01.548 --> 00:07:02.516
And functioning on. this is the lamp
00:07:02.583 --> 00:07:03.750
This is the lamp unto our feet.
00:07:03.817 --> 00:07:04.985
Unto our feet. this is the light
00:07:05.052 --> 00:07:06.119
This is the light unto our path.
00:07:06.186 --> 00:07:07.287
Unto our path. this is the programming that
00:07:07.354 --> 00:07:09.156
This is the programming that brings health to your navel,
00:07:09.223 --> 00:07:10.724
Brings health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
00:07:10.791 --> 00:07:11.992
And marrow to your bones. this is a shield of protection
00:07:12.059 --> 00:07:14.094
This is a shield of protection and a two-edged sword
00:07:14.161 --> 00:07:15.028
And a two-edged sword in your mouth.
00:07:15.095 --> 00:07:15.729
In your mouth. this is what does not return
00:07:15.796 --> 00:07:17.631
This is what does not return void.
00:07:17.698 --> 00:07:18.198
Void. this is what opens the windows
00:07:18.265 --> 00:07:20.000
This is what opens the windows of heaven and closes the gates
00:07:20.067 --> 00:07:22.002
Of heaven and closes the gates of hell in your life.
00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:23.437
Of hell in your life. these are the written
00:07:23.504 --> 00:07:24.838
These are the written instructions that you are
00:07:24.905 --> 00:07:26.039
Instructions that you are designed to live upon.
00:07:26.106 --> 00:07:27.875
Designed to live upon. that's why david said,
00:07:27.941 --> 00:07:29.142
That's why david said, "i'll hide your word
00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:30.644
"i'll hide your word in my heart;
00:07:30.711 --> 00:07:31.478
In my heart; that i might not sin against
00:07:31.545 --> 00:07:33.313
That i might not sin against you."
00:07:33.380 --> 00:07:33.881
You." that's why the psalmist says,
00:07:33.947 --> 00:07:34.948
That's why the psalmist says, "your word has given me life."
00:07:35.015 --> 00:07:37.084
"your word has given me life." that's why acts tells us
00:07:37.150 --> 00:07:38.886
That's why acts tells us that in him do we live,
00:07:38.952 --> 00:07:40.254
That in him do we live, and in him do we move,
00:07:40.320 --> 00:07:41.655
And in him do we move, and in him do we have
00:07:41.722 --> 00:07:42.856
And in him do we have our being.
00:07:42.923 --> 00:07:43.524
Our being. guess what, church?
00:07:43.590 --> 00:07:44.625
Guess what, church? this software is
00:07:44.691 --> 00:07:45.926
This software is incorruptible.
00:07:45.993 --> 00:07:47.160
Incorruptible. there is no malware that can
00:07:47.227 --> 00:07:48.996
There is no malware that can come and take it over.
00:07:49.062 --> 00:07:50.464
Come and take it over. there isn't anything that can
00:07:50.531 --> 00:07:51.632
There isn't anything that can hold it hostage,
00:07:51.698 --> 00:07:52.833
Hold it hostage, because it's pure,
00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:54.067
Because it's pure, it's true,
00:07:54.134 --> 00:07:55.035
It's true, it's been tried by fire,
00:07:55.102 --> 00:07:56.803
It's been tried by fire, it endures forever,
00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:58.171
It endures forever, it cannot be broken.
00:07:58.238 --> 00:07:59.773
It cannot be broken. "the grass may wither
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.008
"the grass may wither and the flower may fade,
00:08:01.074 --> 00:08:02.309
And the flower may fade, but the word of the lord
00:08:02.376 --> 00:08:03.744
But the word of the lord endures forever."
00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:04.945
Endures forever." give the lord a handclap
00:08:05.012 --> 00:08:06.480
Give the lord a handclap of praise!
00:08:06.547 --> 00:08:08.448
Of praise! (applause)
00:08:08.515 --> 00:08:13.687
(applause) the problem is not with
00:08:13.754 --> 00:08:14.955
The problem is not with the program.
00:08:15.022 --> 00:08:17.524
The program. the problem is with
00:08:17.591 --> 00:08:19.159
The problem is with the operating system.
00:08:19.226 --> 00:08:20.661
The operating system. [that's right.]
00:08:20.727 --> 00:08:21.228
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:08:21.295 --> 00:08:22.563
[that's right.] whenever you try to run
00:08:22.629 --> 00:08:23.730
Whenever you try to run god's program on
00:08:23.797 --> 00:08:25.232
God's program on the world's operating system,
00:08:25.299 --> 00:08:28.602
The world's operating system, they don't connect.
00:08:28.669 --> 00:08:30.170
They don't connect. [nope.]
00:08:30.237 --> 00:08:31.171
[nope.] your life was not meant
00:08:31.238 --> 00:08:32.472
Your life was not meant to run on the world system.
00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:34.875
To run on the world system. your life was meant to run on
00:08:34.942 --> 00:08:36.743
Your life was meant to run on the operating system
00:08:36.810 --> 00:08:37.911
The operating system of the kingdom of god,
00:08:37.978 --> 00:08:39.112
Of the kingdom of god, which comes to you through
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:40.280
Which comes to you through the power of the holy ghost.
00:08:40.347 --> 00:08:42.616
The power of the holy ghost. [amen.]
00:08:42.683 --> 00:08:44.151
[amen.] until you open up his os,
00:08:44.217 --> 00:08:47.955
Until you open up his os, everything in your life
00:08:48.021 --> 00:08:49.222
Everything in your life is o-f-f.
00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:51.291
Is o-f-f. (laughter)
00:08:51.358 --> 00:08:51.925
(laughter) off.
00:08:51.992 --> 00:08:52.793
Off. (laughter)
00:08:52.859 --> 00:08:53.827
(laughter) you need a reboot.
00:08:53.894 --> 00:08:55.429
You need a reboot. (laughter)
00:08:55.495 --> 00:08:55.696
(laughter) you need a download.
00:08:55.762 --> 00:08:56.563
You need a download. you need an update.
00:08:56.630 --> 00:08:58.098
You need an update. (laughter)
00:08:58.165 --> 00:08:58.665
(laughter) [yeah.]
00:08:58.732 --> 00:08:59.666
[yeah.] (laughter)
00:08:59.733 --> 00:09:00.267
(laughter) because you can't run god's
00:09:00.334 --> 00:09:01.368
Because you can't run god's system on the world's ways.
00:09:01.435 --> 00:09:04.371
System on the world's ways. 1 corinthians 2:10 through 12
00:09:04.438 --> 00:09:07.608
1 corinthians 2:10 through 12 tells us these things;
00:09:07.674 --> 00:09:09.610
Tells us these things; it says,
00:09:09.676 --> 00:09:10.010
It says, "the things of god are
00:09:10.077 --> 00:09:10.911
"the things of god are revealed by the spirit.
00:09:10.978 --> 00:09:12.446
Revealed by the spirit. and the spirit searches
00:09:12.512 --> 00:09:14.147
And the spirit searches all things,
00:09:14.214 --> 00:09:15.182
All things, yes, the deep things of god."
00:09:15.248 --> 00:09:18.585
Yes, the deep things of god." verse 11 lets us know that,
00:09:18.652 --> 00:09:20.554
Verse 11 lets us know that, "man knows the things of man
00:09:20.621 --> 00:09:23.590
"man knows the things of man except the spirit of man
00:09:23.657 --> 00:09:25.025
Except the spirit of man which is in him?
00:09:25.092 --> 00:09:26.126
Which is in him? even so no one knows the
00:09:26.193 --> 00:09:28.128
Even so no one knows the things of god except --"
00:09:28.195 --> 00:09:29.596
Things of god except --" who?
00:09:29.663 --> 00:09:30.631
Who? "-- the spirit of god."
00:09:30.697 --> 00:09:32.399
"-- the spirit of god." you can't know anything about
00:09:32.466 --> 00:09:33.734
You can't know anything about god unless you've got the
00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:35.102
God unless you've got the operating system of the spirit
00:09:35.168 --> 00:09:36.603
Operating system of the spirit working in your life.
00:09:36.670 --> 00:09:38.839
Working in your life. [amen.]
00:09:38.905 --> 00:09:39.406
[amen.] and then it says,
00:09:39.473 --> 00:09:39.940
And then it says, "we received,
00:09:40.007 --> 00:09:40.741
"we received, not the spirit of the world,
00:09:40.807 --> 00:09:42.242
Not the spirit of the world, but the spirit
00:09:42.309 --> 00:09:43.577
But the spirit who is from god,
00:09:43.644 --> 00:09:45.812
Who is from god, that we may know and freely
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.148
That we may know and freely receive the things given to us
00:09:48.215 --> 00:09:50.317
Receive the things given to us by god."
00:09:50.384 --> 00:09:51.785
By god." how are you going to receive
00:09:51.852 --> 00:09:53.153
How are you going to receive the things that have been
00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:53.854
The things that have been given to you by god unless you
00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:55.722
Given to you by god unless you have the system that god
00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:57.457
Have the system that god intended for you to
00:09:57.524 --> 00:09:58.258
Intended for you to operate in,
00:09:58.325 --> 00:09:59.126
Operate in, which is his holy spirit
00:09:59.192 --> 00:10:00.560
Which is his holy spirit in your life?
00:10:00.627 --> 00:10:02.195
In your life? without the power and the
00:10:02.262 --> 00:10:03.163
Without the power and the presence of the holy spirit,
00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:04.665
Presence of the holy spirit, you are operating on
00:10:04.731 --> 00:10:06.400
You are operating on the wrong system.
00:10:06.466 --> 00:10:07.968
The wrong system. [that's right.]
00:10:08.035 --> 00:10:08.435
[that's right.] you've got to get that old
00:10:08.502 --> 00:10:09.336
You've got to get that old program out and get
00:10:09.403 --> 00:10:10.871
Program out and get god's program in.
00:10:10.937 --> 00:10:13.507
God's program in. (applause)
00:10:13.573 --> 00:10:18.011
(applause) in order for you to witness,
00:10:18.078 --> 00:10:19.379
In order for you to witness, you have to have the power
00:10:19.446 --> 00:10:20.747
You have to have the power of the holy spirit.
00:10:20.814 --> 00:10:21.648
Of the holy spirit. you can't do it
00:10:21.715 --> 00:10:22.315
You can't do it in your strength.
00:10:22.382 --> 00:10:23.817
In your strength. in order for us to change
00:10:23.884 --> 00:10:24.918
In order for us to change the world,
00:10:24.985 --> 00:10:25.686
The world, we have to have his power,
00:10:25.752 --> 00:10:27.754
We have to have his power, which means we have to operate
00:10:27.821 --> 00:10:29.222
Which means we have to operate in his word.
00:10:29.289 --> 00:10:32.059
In his word. some of us want to use
00:10:32.125 --> 00:10:33.560
Some of us want to use a number of things when it
00:10:33.627 --> 00:10:34.661
A number of things when it comes to this topic of
00:10:34.728 --> 00:10:36.029
Comes to this topic of the promise of
00:10:36.096 --> 00:10:37.030
The promise of the holy spirit.
00:10:37.097 --> 00:10:37.664
The holy spirit. you hear the word
00:10:37.731 --> 00:10:38.532
You hear the word "holy spirit,"
00:10:38.598 --> 00:10:39.299
"holy spirit," and immediately,
00:10:39.366 --> 00:10:40.400
And immediately, people want to tell you,
00:10:40.467 --> 00:10:41.735
People want to tell you, "oh, i know where he's going.
00:10:41.802 --> 00:10:42.736
"oh, i know where he's going. i know what he's going
00:10:42.803 --> 00:10:43.403
I know what he's going to say."
00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:45.105
To say." and the second that you
00:10:45.172 --> 00:10:45.906
And the second that you believe that,
00:10:45.972 --> 00:10:46.873
Believe that, you immediately start to talk
00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:48.208
You immediately start to talk about two things primarily.
00:10:48.275 --> 00:10:49.876
About two things primarily. one is your tradition,
00:10:49.943 --> 00:10:53.447
One is your tradition, whatever you were raised in
00:10:53.513 --> 00:10:54.815
Whatever you were raised in denominationally.
00:10:54.881 --> 00:10:56.817
Denominationally. and you start to talk more
00:10:56.883 --> 00:10:57.984
And you start to talk more about what your denomination
00:10:58.051 --> 00:10:59.186
About what your denomination taught you than what
00:10:59.252 --> 00:11:00.320
Taught you than what god's word says.
00:11:00.387 --> 00:11:02.522
God's word says. what you need to know is that
00:11:02.589 --> 00:11:03.790
What you need to know is that tradition does not explain
00:11:03.857 --> 00:11:05.792
Tradition does not explain the power of the holy spirit.
00:11:05.859 --> 00:11:07.461
The power of the holy spirit. the bible explains the power
00:11:07.527 --> 00:11:09.796
The bible explains the power of the holy spirit.
00:11:09.863 --> 00:11:10.831
Of the holy spirit. [yes.]
00:11:10.897 --> 00:11:12.032
[yes.] the holy spirit is god.
00:11:12.099 --> 00:11:14.668
The holy spirit is god. he is god's promise to
00:11:14.735 --> 00:11:15.936
He is god's promise to the church.
00:11:16.002 --> 00:11:17.771
The church. he's not a denominational gift
00:11:17.838 --> 00:11:19.940
He's not a denominational gift that has cornered the market
00:11:20.006 --> 00:11:21.541
That has cornered the market in one section of our faith
00:11:21.608 --> 00:11:22.943
In one section of our faith and not in the other.
00:11:23.009 --> 00:11:23.677
And not in the other. he is for everyone.
00:11:23.744 --> 00:11:25.612
He is for everyone. [yes.]
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:26.480
[yes.] and when you begin to talk
00:11:26.546 --> 00:11:27.481
And when you begin to talk about your religious
00:11:27.547 --> 00:11:28.415
About your religious traditions,
00:11:28.482 --> 00:11:29.049
Traditions, the problem is,
00:11:29.116 --> 00:11:29.983
The problem is, is that you are putting
00:11:30.050 --> 00:11:30.717
Is that you are putting limitations on
00:11:30.784 --> 00:11:32.219
Limitations on the unlimited one.
00:11:32.285 --> 00:11:33.754
The unlimited one. [that's right.]
00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:34.287
[that's right.] [that's right.]
00:11:34.354 --> 00:11:35.322
[that's right.] consider what ephesians 3:20
00:11:35.388 --> 00:11:37.090
Consider what ephesians 3:20 says.
00:11:37.157 --> 00:11:37.657
Says. "to him who is able to do
00:11:37.724 --> 00:11:39.960
"to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above
00:11:40.026 --> 00:11:41.695
Exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think."
00:11:41.762 --> 00:11:43.163
All you could ask or think." how many of you find
00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:43.997
How many of you find any limitation there?
00:11:44.064 --> 00:11:45.298
Any limitation there? there's none.
00:11:45.365 --> 00:11:47.167
There's none. it says,
00:11:47.234 --> 00:11:47.567
It says, "to him who is able to do
00:11:47.634 --> 00:11:48.568
"to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above
00:11:48.635 --> 00:11:49.870
Exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think,
00:11:49.936 --> 00:11:51.271
All you could ask or think, according to the power --"
00:11:51.338 --> 00:11:53.306
According to the power --" according to what?
00:11:53.373 --> 00:11:54.641
According to what? "the power."
00:11:54.708 --> 00:11:56.109
"the power." "-- that works in us."
00:11:56.176 --> 00:11:58.779
"-- that works in us." the power that works in us
00:11:58.845 --> 00:12:00.380
The power that works in us is the holy spirit.
00:12:00.447 --> 00:12:01.381
Is the holy spirit. and it is an exceedingly
00:12:01.448 --> 00:12:02.816
And it is an exceedingly abundantly above all that you
00:12:02.883 --> 00:12:04.217
Abundantly above all that you can ask or think
00:12:04.284 --> 00:12:05.185
Can ask or think kind of spirit.
00:12:05.252 --> 00:12:06.219
Kind of spirit. but the second you start to
00:12:06.286 --> 00:12:07.220
But the second you start to put your denomination on it,
00:12:07.287 --> 00:12:09.022
Put your denomination on it, suddenly,
00:12:09.089 --> 00:12:09.556
Suddenly, you've put a limit on
00:12:09.623 --> 00:12:10.590
You've put a limit on the unlimited one."
00:12:10.657 --> 00:12:11.691
The unlimited one." [yes.]
00:12:11.758 --> 00:12:12.659
[yes.] "oh, the holy spirit doesn't
00:12:12.726 --> 00:12:13.627
"oh, the holy spirit doesn't do that."
00:12:13.693 --> 00:12:15.495
Do that." i sat in seminaries
00:12:15.562 --> 00:12:16.563
I sat in seminaries and heard that.
00:12:16.630 --> 00:12:17.230
And heard that. "the holy spirit did that
00:12:17.297 --> 00:12:18.365
"the holy spirit did that then,
00:12:18.431 --> 00:12:18.698
Then, but he doesn't do it now."
00:12:18.765 --> 00:12:19.833
But he doesn't do it now." if he's god,
00:12:19.900 --> 00:12:20.967
If he's god, he's like god,
00:12:21.034 --> 00:12:22.002
He's like god, he doesn't change!
00:12:22.068 --> 00:12:23.270
He doesn't change! [amen.]

00:12:24.304 --> 00:12:26.807
Chaos, addiction.

By 16, i was lost, spiraling.
00:12:29.676 --> 00:12:32.646

Have you ever been going through something,
00:13:46.553 --> 00:13:47.053
Through something, and all of a sudden,
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:47.587
And all of a sudden, you remembered a scripture,
00:13:47.654 --> 00:13:48.588
You remembered a scripture, and you don't know how or why
00:13:48.655 --> 00:13:49.656
And you don't know how or why you remembered that scripture?
00:13:49.723 --> 00:13:51.057
You remembered that scripture? [yes.]
00:13:51.124 --> 00:13:51.691
[yes.] the holy spirit did that.
00:13:51.758 --> 00:13:52.826
The holy spirit did that. how many of you have trouble

How many of you have trouble remembering things?
00:13:54.227 --> 00:13:55.595
Remembering things? [yes.]
00:13:55.662 --> 00:13:56.463
[yes.] jesus said in john 14:26,
00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:58.965
Jesus said in john 14:26, "he will bring to
00:13:59.032 --> 00:13:59.799
"he will bring to your remembrance all that
00:13:59.866 --> 00:14:01.468
Your remembrance all that i have said to you."

I have said to you." the holy spirit gives you joy.
00:14:04.271 --> 00:14:06.006
The holy spirit gives you joy. it's that holy spirit joy
00:14:06.072 --> 00:14:07.641
It's that holy spirit joy that gave the apostle paul
00:14:07.707 --> 00:14:09.209
That gave the apostle paul the ability to write,
00:14:09.276 --> 00:14:10.310
The ability to write, "rejoice in the lord always,
00:14:10.377 --> 00:14:12.746
"rejoice in the lord always, and again, i say, rejoice."
00:14:12.812 --> 00:14:14.714
And again, i say, rejoice." do you know where he wrote
00:14:14.781 --> 00:14:15.615
Do you know where he wrote those words from?
00:14:15.682 --> 00:14:16.783
Those words from? he wrote those words
00:14:16.850 --> 00:14:17.851
He wrote those words from a prison cell
00:14:17.918 --> 00:14:19.085
From a prison cell awaiting execution.
00:14:19.152 --> 00:14:20.654
Awaiting execution. staring in the face of death,
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.489
Staring in the face of death, the man had joy that the world
00:14:22.555 --> 00:14:24.557
The man had joy that the world didn't give and the world
00:14:24.624 --> 00:14:26.059
Didn't give and the world didn't take away.
00:14:26.126 --> 00:14:26.993
Didn't take away. you can't do that if you're
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:28.395
You can't do that if you're not operating on heaven's
00:14:28.461 --> 00:14:30.130
Not operating on heaven's system.
00:14:30.196 --> 00:14:31.031

That hope and that confidence understands that jesus christ
00:14:38.171 --> 00:14:40.407
Understands that jesus christ is not a man
00:14:40.473 --> 00:14:41.174
Is not a man that he should lie.
00:14:41.241 --> 00:14:42.275
That he should lie. it gives you the confidence
00:14:42.342 --> 00:14:43.376

00:14:48.481 --> 00:14:49.082
To say, "i know in whom i have
00:14:49.149 --> 00:14:50.784
"i know in whom i have believed,
00:14:50.850 --> 00:14:51.318
Believed, and i believe that he is able
00:14:51.384 --> 00:14:52.986
And i believe that he is able to keep that which i have
00:14:53.053 --> 00:14:54.554
To keep that which i have committed to him even to
00:14:54.621 --> 00:14:56.156
Committed to him even to the day of christ jesus."
00:14:56.222 --> 00:14:58.558
The day of christ jesus." [amen.]
00:14:58.625 --> 00:15:00.994
[amen.] it's better for you and i now
00:15:01.061 --> 00:15:04.998
It's better for you and i now than it was in the time
00:15:05.065 --> 00:15:06.099
Than it was in the time of christ.
00:15:06.166 --> 00:15:09.269
Of christ. i know sometimes we want to
00:15:09.336 --> 00:15:10.370
I know sometimes we want to believe that the grass is
00:15:10.437 --> 00:15:11.338
Believe that the grass is always greener somewhere else.
00:15:11.404 --> 00:15:13.974
Always greener somewhere else. and we think to ourselves,
00:15:14.040 --> 00:15:14.941
And we think to ourselves, oh, if i could just have been
00:15:15.008 --> 00:15:16.076
Oh, if i could just have been there on the day of pentecost.
00:15:16.142 --> 00:15:19.079
There on the day of pentecost. jesus said,
00:15:19.145 --> 00:15:20.246
Jesus said, "i tell you the truth.
00:15:20.313 --> 00:15:21.314
"i tell you the truth. it is to your advantage
00:15:21.381 --> 00:15:22.582
It is to your advantage that i go away;
00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:24.284
That i go away; for if i do not go away,
00:15:24.351 --> 00:15:26.353
For if i do not go away, the helper will not come...
00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:29.723
The helper will not come... but if i depart,
00:15:29.789 --> 00:15:31.491
But if i depart, i will send him to you."
00:15:31.558 --> 00:15:35.362
I will send him to you." now, how is it better
00:15:35.428 --> 00:15:36.162
Now, how is it better for us that jesus is
00:15:36.229 --> 00:15:37.330
For us that jesus is in heaven instead of down here
00:15:37.397 --> 00:15:38.932
In heaven instead of down here on earth?
00:15:38.999 --> 00:15:41.234
On earth? the bible says in john 1 that
00:15:41.301 --> 00:15:43.236
The bible says in john 1 that jesus was the word made flesh
00:15:43.303 --> 00:15:46.439
Jesus was the word made flesh and he dwelt among us.
00:15:46.506 --> 00:15:48.375
And he dwelt among us. as the word of god,
00:15:48.441 --> 00:15:49.976
As the word of god, he had the power of god.
00:15:50.043 --> 00:15:52.479
He had the power of god. with the power of god,
00:15:52.545 --> 00:15:54.247
With the power of god, all of the promises,
00:15:54.314 --> 00:15:55.415
All of the promises, the yes and the amen,
00:15:55.482 --> 00:15:57.083
The yes and the amen, were wrapped up in
00:15:57.150 --> 00:15:58.351
Were wrapped up in a flesh suit,
00:15:58.418 --> 00:16:00.887
A flesh suit, which means that wherever
00:16:00.954 --> 00:16:01.955
Which means that wherever he was,
00:16:02.022 --> 00:16:02.756
He was, the power was.
00:16:02.822 --> 00:16:04.557
The power was. if he was there,
00:16:04.624 --> 00:16:05.658
If he was there, the winds and the waves
00:16:05.725 --> 00:16:06.559
The winds and the waves would stop.
00:16:06.626 --> 00:16:07.594
Would stop. if he was there,
00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:08.661
If he was there, the blind would see,
00:16:08.728 --> 00:16:09.696
The blind would see, the deaf would hear,
00:16:09.763 --> 00:16:10.597
The deaf would hear, the dead would live again.
00:16:10.663 --> 00:16:12.298
The dead would live again. this is why mary and martha
00:16:12.365 --> 00:16:13.633
This is why mary and martha sent someone to jesus
00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:15.435
Sent someone to jesus and said,
00:16:15.502 --> 00:16:15.869
And said, "come quickly.
00:16:15.935 --> 00:16:16.903
"come quickly. lazarus is sick.
00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:18.238
Lazarus is sick. you need to heal him."
00:16:18.304 --> 00:16:19.272
You need to heal him." and jesus didn't go
00:16:19.339 --> 00:16:20.373
And jesus didn't go until he died.
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.408
Until he died. but when the word made flesh
00:16:21.474 --> 00:16:22.809
But when the word made flesh showed up,
00:16:22.876 --> 00:16:23.410
Showed up, the dead lived again.
00:16:23.476 --> 00:16:25.745
The dead lived again. [amen.]
00:16:25.812 --> 00:16:26.579
[amen.] now, when jesus rose
00:16:26.646 --> 00:16:29.382
Now, when jesus rose from the grave,
00:16:29.449 --> 00:16:31.351
From the grave, he told the disciples
00:16:31.418 --> 00:16:32.585
He told the disciples in matthew 28,
00:16:32.652 --> 00:16:34.954
In matthew 28, "lo, i am with you always."
00:16:35.021 --> 00:16:38.158
"lo, i am with you always." "lo" does not speak about
00:16:38.224 --> 00:16:39.626
"lo" does not speak about altitude.
00:16:39.692 --> 00:16:41.494
Altitude. what jesus is saying is i,
00:16:41.561 --> 00:16:44.431
What jesus is saying is i, even i,
00:16:44.497 --> 00:16:45.732
Even i, me personally,
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.267
Me personally, i am going to be with you --
00:16:47.333 --> 00:16:49.669
I am going to be with you -- how often?
00:16:49.736 --> 00:16:51.037
How often? -- always.
00:16:51.104 --> 00:16:53.573
-- always. now how could he be with you
00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:55.642
Now how could he be with you on monday and with me
00:16:55.708 --> 00:16:57.310
On monday and with me on monday unless we're
00:16:57.377 --> 00:16:58.511
On monday unless we're together?
00:16:58.578 --> 00:17:00.780
Together? i'll tell you how.
00:17:00.847 --> 00:17:02.449
I'll tell you how. the word made flesh has gone
00:17:02.515 --> 00:17:04.117
The word made flesh has gone to heaven,
00:17:04.184 --> 00:17:04.918
To heaven, and the spirit of god has come
00:17:04.984 --> 00:17:06.686
And the spirit of god has come to earth.
00:17:06.753 --> 00:17:07.454
To earth. and the spirit of god goes
00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:09.322
And the spirit of god goes where you go.
00:17:09.389 --> 00:17:10.457
Where you go. the power of god is now
00:17:10.523 --> 00:17:12.258
The power of god is now no longer in a person.
00:17:12.325 --> 00:17:13.626
No longer in a person. the power of god is living
00:17:13.693 --> 00:17:15.061
The power of god is living in you.
00:17:15.128 --> 00:17:15.862
In you. wherever you go,
00:17:15.929 --> 00:17:17.163
Wherever you go, he goes.
00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:17.797
He goes. whatever you need,
00:17:17.864 --> 00:17:18.998
Whatever you need, he has.
00:17:19.065 --> 00:17:19.999
He has. 2 corinthians 3:17 says,
00:17:20.066 --> 00:17:22.268
2 corinthians 3:17 says, "the lord is the spirit;
00:17:22.335 --> 00:17:23.736
"the lord is the spirit; and where the spirit
00:17:23.803 --> 00:17:24.571
And where the spirit of the lord is,
00:17:24.637 --> 00:17:25.438
Of the lord is, there is liberty."
00:17:25.505 --> 00:17:27.207
There is liberty." what is liberty?
00:17:27.273 --> 00:17:28.274
What is liberty? "liberty" is the overthrowing
00:17:28.341 --> 00:17:30.310
"liberty" is the overthrowing of oppression,
00:17:30.376 --> 00:17:31.478
Of oppression, so that you can walk in
00:17:31.544 --> 00:17:32.946
So that you can walk in freedom.
00:17:33.012 --> 00:17:33.580
Freedom. whenever christ comes into
00:17:33.646 --> 00:17:35.548
Whenever christ comes into your life and the holy spirit
00:17:35.615 --> 00:17:37.217
Your life and the holy spirit comes in with him,
00:17:37.283 --> 00:17:38.518
Comes in with him, you now have freedom from

You now have freedom from the oppression of the world,
00:17:40.253 --> 00:17:41.721
The oppression of the world, of the flesh,
00:17:41.788 --> 00:17:42.489
Of the flesh, and of the devil.
00:17:42.555 --> 00:17:43.490
And of the devil. wherever you go,
00:17:43.556 --> 00:17:44.724
Wherever you go, because the spirit of god
00:17:44.791 --> 00:17:46.059
Because the spirit of god is with you,
00:17:46.126 --> 00:17:46.860
Is with you, that liberty goes with you.

Against you, the constitution and

The constitution and the bylaws of your faith have
00:18:11.818 --> 00:18:13.953
The bylaws of your faith have declared that whatever you ask

The gates of hell shall not prevail,
00:18:23.363 --> 00:18:24.531
Shall not prevail, and the keys to the kingdom,
00:18:24.597 --> 00:18:26.166
And the keys to the kingdom, they belong to you!
00:18:26.232 --> 00:18:28.968
They belong to you! (applause)
00:18:29.035 --> 00:18:32.071
(applause) the holy spirit is god.
00:18:32.138 --> 00:18:36.009
The holy spirit is god. just as god is,
00:18:36.075 --> 00:18:37.877
Just as god is, the holy spirit is.
00:18:37.944 --> 00:18:40.480
The holy spirit is. god is unchanging.
00:18:40.547 --> 00:18:41.981
God is unchanging. the holy spirit is unchanging.
00:18:42.048 --> 00:18:44.450
The holy spirit is unchanging. god is all-powerful.
00:18:44.517 --> 00:18:46.286
God is all-powerful. the holy spirit
00:18:46.352 --> 00:18:47.754
The holy spirit is all-powerful.
00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:49.722
Is all-powerful. god is consistent
00:18:49.789 --> 00:18:51.891
God is consistent and unmoving.
00:18:51.958 --> 00:18:54.594
And unmoving. james said,
00:18:54.661 --> 00:18:55.261
James said, "there is no shadow
00:18:55.328 --> 00:18:56.029
"there is no shadow or variation of turning
00:18:56.095 --> 00:18:57.230
Or variation of turning with him."
00:18:57.297 --> 00:18:59.432
With him." so then what is it that makes
00:18:59.499 --> 00:19:02.068
So then what is it that makes us feel like there's times
00:19:02.135 --> 00:19:03.403
Us feel like there's times when he shows up and there's
00:19:03.469 --> 00:19:04.804
When he shows up and there's times when he doesn't?
00:19:04.871 --> 00:19:07.240
Times when he doesn't? i'll tell you what it is.
00:19:07.307 --> 00:19:09.642
I'll tell you what it is. it's our tradition
00:19:09.709 --> 00:19:11.911
It's our tradition and it's our experience.
00:19:11.978 --> 00:19:14.480
And it's our experience. i'm guilty of doing the same,
00:19:14.547 --> 00:19:17.383
I'm guilty of doing the same, letting my tradition trump
00:19:17.450 --> 00:19:19.519
Letting my tradition trump what the holy spirit
00:19:19.586 --> 00:19:20.386
What the holy spirit and the word of god say,
00:19:20.453 --> 00:19:22.522
And the word of god say, letting my experience tell me
00:19:22.589 --> 00:19:24.991
Letting my experience tell me instead of the word operate
00:19:25.058 --> 00:19:26.826
Instead of the word operate in me,
00:19:26.893 --> 00:19:27.160
In me, so that i understand how to
00:19:27.227 --> 00:19:28.194
So that i understand how to live and move and have
00:19:28.261 --> 00:19:29.462
Live and move and have my being in his power
00:19:29.529 --> 00:19:30.797
My being in his power and in his strength.
00:19:30.863 --> 00:19:31.831
And in his strength. if the spirit is god
00:19:31.898 --> 00:19:34.033
If the spirit is god and jesus is with us,
00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:35.735
And jesus is with us, how could he be with us always
00:19:35.802 --> 00:19:37.937
How could he be with us always and we feel like the spirit
00:19:38.004 --> 00:19:39.205
And we feel like the spirit shows up and then disappears?
00:19:39.272 --> 00:19:42.675
Shows up and then disappears? i mean,
00:19:42.742 --> 00:19:43.209
I mean, we've often talked about,
00:19:43.276 --> 00:19:43.843
We've often talked about, "well, the holy spirit
00:19:43.910 --> 00:19:44.777
"well, the holy spirit really showed up today."
00:19:44.844 --> 00:19:45.912
Really showed up today." you ever describe the service
00:19:45.979 --> 00:19:46.813
You ever describe the service that way?
00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:48.214
That way? i have.
00:19:48.281 --> 00:19:48.848
I have. i mean, nobody says,
00:19:48.915 --> 00:19:49.449
I mean, nobody says, "hey, bob showed up today."
00:19:49.515 --> 00:19:51.884
"hey, bob showed up today." no, we mark them when
00:19:51.951 --> 00:19:52.719
No, we mark them when the holy spirit shows up.
00:19:52.785 --> 00:19:55.088
The holy spirit shows up. but the truth is
00:19:55.154 --> 00:19:55.588
But the truth is he's always there.
00:19:55.655 --> 00:19:57.357
He's always there. ♪ music ♪

00:20:05.265 --> 00:20:05.698
He said, "be filled with
00:20:05.765 --> 00:20:07.500
"be filled with the holy ghost."
00:20:07.567 --> 00:20:08.368
The holy ghost." "speaking to one another
00:20:08.434 --> 00:20:09.569
"speaking to one another in psalms and in hymns
00:20:09.636 --> 00:20:11.871
In psalms and in hymns and spiritual songs...
00:20:11.938 --> 00:20:13.206
And spiritual songs... and making melody
00:20:13.273 --> 00:20:13.940
And making melody in your heart to the lord."
00:20:14.007 --> 00:20:16.142
In your heart to the lord." verse 20 says,
00:20:16.209 --> 00:20:17.577
Verse 20 says, "giving thanks always for all
00:20:17.644 --> 00:20:21.648
"giving thanks always for all things to god the father
00:20:21.714 --> 00:20:23.416
Things to god the father in the name of our lord
00:20:23.483 --> 00:20:25.118
In the name of our lord jesus christ."
00:20:25.184 --> 00:20:28.121
Jesus christ." so he's saying,
00:20:28.187 --> 00:20:28.688
So he's saying, spirit-filled people are not
00:20:28.755 --> 00:20:31.124
Spirit-filled people are not complaining people;
00:20:31.190 --> 00:20:33.326
Complaining people; they're praising people.
00:20:33.393 --> 00:20:34.594
They're praising people. [yes.]
00:20:34.661 --> 00:20:35.828
[yes.] "the lord inhabits the --"

"the lord inhabits the --" what?
00:20:36.896 --> 00:20:37.563
What? [praises.]
00:20:37.630 --> 00:20:38.197
[praises.] "-- the praises of his people."
00:20:38.264 --> 00:20:40.266
"-- the praises of his people." you enter into his gates
00:20:40.333 --> 00:20:41.234
You enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:20:41.301 --> 00:20:43.036
With thanksgiving, and into his courts
00:20:43.102 --> 00:20:44.070
And into his courts with praise.
00:20:44.137 --> 00:20:45.438
With praise. when you walk into church
00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:46.506
When you walk into church and you've got nothing
00:20:46.572 --> 00:20:47.173
And you've got nothing but complaint on your lips,
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.775
But complaint on your lips, you're operating on the world
00:20:48.841 --> 00:20:50.710
You're operating on the world system and not god's.
00:20:50.777 --> 00:20:52.712
System and not god's. [that's right.]
00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.212

Is something that you have to do intentionally.

It's a statement that means to submit your life under

The fountain. [that's right.]
00:21:29.048 --> 00:21:29.716
[that's right.] whenever we live our lives
00:21:29.782 --> 00:21:31.217
Whenever we live our lives saying that the holy spirit
00:21:31.284 --> 00:21:32.518
Saying that the holy spirit showed up,
00:21:32.585 --> 00:21:33.319
Showed up, this is what it looks like.
00:21:33.386 --> 00:21:34.587
This is what it looks like. it's not his inconsistency;
00:21:34.654 --> 00:21:37.123
It's not his inconsistency; it's ours.
00:21:37.190 --> 00:21:39.425
It's ours. we come to church,
00:21:39.492 --> 00:21:40.560
We come to church, and we say, "wow!
00:21:40.626 --> 00:21:41.961
And we say, "wow! the holy spirit showed up."
00:21:42.028 --> 00:21:43.696
The holy spirit showed up." we go to work on monday
00:21:43.763 --> 00:21:44.664
We go to work on monday and we lose the spirit.
00:21:44.731 --> 00:21:45.598
And we lose the spirit. "i got the spirit today."
00:21:45.665 --> 00:21:47.433
"i got the spirit today." and then we lose it
00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.134
And then we lose it because something
00:21:48.201 --> 00:21:48.634
Because something in the middle of the week
00:21:48.701 --> 00:21:49.335
In the middle of the week went wrong.
00:21:49.402 --> 00:21:49.869
Went wrong. and then i got the spirit
00:21:49.936 --> 00:21:50.737
And then i got the spirit today.
00:21:50.803 --> 00:21:51.404
Today. "i saw pastor on youtube
00:21:51.471 --> 00:21:52.739
"i saw pastor on youtube and he encouraged me."
00:21:52.805 --> 00:21:53.806
And he encouraged me." and what happens is we keep
00:21:53.873 --> 00:21:55.241
And what happens is we keep moving our lives in and out
00:21:55.308 --> 00:21:58.111
Moving our lives in and out of what god is pouring out
00:21:58.177 --> 00:22:00.179
Of what god is pouring out from heaven on a daily
00:22:00.246 --> 00:22:01.314
From heaven on a daily and a consistent basis.
00:22:01.381 --> 00:22:03.983
And a consistent basis. and this is why we can't
00:22:04.050 --> 00:22:05.218
And this is why we can't function in the victory
00:22:05.284 --> 00:22:06.552
Function in the victory that christ has promised us.
00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:09.789
That christ has promised us. go read the bible.
00:22:09.856 --> 00:22:11.557
Go read the bible. it doesn't tell you
00:22:11.624 --> 00:22:13.059
It doesn't tell you that christ is trying to win.
00:22:13.126 --> 00:22:15.228
That christ is trying to win. it says he's already won.
00:22:15.294 --> 00:22:16.796
It says he's already won. [amen.]
00:22:16.863 --> 00:22:18.064
[amen.] and then he said,
00:22:18.131 --> 00:22:19.465
And then he said, "you have the keys."
00:22:19.532 --> 00:22:21.901
"you have the keys." [yes.]
00:22:21.968 --> 00:22:23.469
[yes.] we're not fighting for
00:22:23.536 --> 00:22:24.771
We're not fighting for victory.
00:22:24.837 --> 00:22:25.538
Victory. we're standing in it.
00:22:25.605 --> 00:22:26.873
We're standing in it. [amen.]

[amen.] [yes.]
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:28.374
[yes.] but what happens is we move
00:22:28.441 --> 00:22:30.510
But what happens is we move our lives in and out of
00:22:30.576 --> 00:22:33.212
Our lives in and out of the victory that he has
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:34.347
The victory that he has already won.
00:22:34.414 --> 00:22:35.348
Already won. and then we wonder why god's
00:22:35.415 --> 00:22:36.883
And then we wonder why god's so inconsistent.
00:22:36.949 --> 00:22:37.950
So inconsistent. he's not inconsistent!
00:22:38.017 --> 00:22:41.421
He's not inconsistent! we are.
00:22:41.487 --> 00:22:42.321
We are. [yes.]
00:22:42.388 --> 00:22:43.923
[yes.] so what do you have to do?
00:22:43.990 --> 00:22:46.259
So what do you have to do? you've got to put your life
00:22:46.325 --> 00:22:47.860
You've got to put your life underneath the outpouring
00:22:47.927 --> 00:22:49.162
Underneath the outpouring of his promises.
00:22:49.228 --> 00:22:50.296
Of his promises. you've got to live your life
00:22:50.363 --> 00:22:51.531
You've got to live your life baptized in his word.
00:22:51.597 --> 00:22:53.299
Baptized in his word. you've got to say
00:22:53.366 --> 00:22:54.133
You've got to say on a daily basis,
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.168
On a daily basis, "this is the day that the lord
00:22:55.234 --> 00:22:56.903
"this is the day that the lord has made.
00:22:56.969 --> 00:22:57.937
Has made. i will rejoice

All things he would work out for my good according to
