 Here we go. The Lord is my shepherd, everybody. My chef. He goes before me. He goes before. Defender behind me. Defender. Be filled with an orgy. I'm filled with... Hello and welcome to Prophecy Files Briefing. I'm Pastor Joey Rogers. Glad that you've joined us today. I want you to take this opportunity to share out this broadcast right now on your social media platform. It's information that you're going to need to know, especially in the days that we're living in, where we are under the influence of a lying spirit in the United States of America and the world. And this article is one more proof of that fact. The Durham report, this article says, exposes the media's tyranny of lies. As we soak in the damning findings of the Durham report, one thing becomes crystal clear, this article says, that the American news media, whether winningly or not, has been misleading us since the moment Donald Trump became a political figure. He goes on to say, in many ways, a tyranny of lies is harder to fight against than a tyranny of brute power. That's why George Orwell focused so much on language in his book and movie, 1984, and words of warning how that fascism creeps into our lives and news speak, not guns is the real threat. It goes on to say, so for now, there is a stalemate. The news media lies, the public doesn't believe them, and little to no action, actual discourse can occur. It is not sustainable, but how it ends, nobody knows. Well, I can tell you that the scripture is very clear concerning it. In the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter number two, verses 7 down through 12, the Bible says that that spirit of Antichrist, the lawless, lying spirit of Satan himself, is already loose in our world. And it says in verse number nine, even him, talking about the Antichrist, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders, verse 10, and with all deceivalmeness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because and this is the key, because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved. The Bible goes on to say that the people that don't love the truth of God's word and truth who is Jesus Christ will believe that lie and strong delusion will come to them. One of the signs in the last days is that people will not endure sound doctrine. In fact, they would give way to lies and the perpetration of that through seducing spirits, the Bible says, and doctrines of devils. Our culture has invented words that actually deceive the masses today, but the book of Proverbs 12 and 22 says lying lips are an extremely disgusting to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight. The loss of the trust in the news media, politicians and preachers for that matter, Jesus warned about in Matthew 24 when He said, take heed that you be not deceived. Now Jesus' warning comes with several things, and I want to share with you now. First of all, we should learn to recognize the warning signs of deception. Well, what is that? Simply put, first of all is doubting God and His word. 1 Timothy 4 and 1 says in the last days that some would depart from the faith. So doubting God and doubting God's word is a setup for deception. Not only that, but living with lies. That is accepting lies or acting truth. That's a setup for you to walk right into that lying spirit. What does that mean? What are you talking about when you say that? Well, that men can have babies. That's an absolute lie. The Bible tells us that it was Satan who came to deceive Eve in the garden, and she believed that lie that if she partook of the fruit and Adam as well, that they would not die, but that was a lie. When we face that kind of untruth and deception, as a matter of fact, accepting lies as truth, we are set up for the spirit of lying. In fact, in the time we're living in right now, calling men women and women men is one more indictment against us as we literally are forcing back on the Word of God. Here's another thing. It's important for us to combat the spirit of lies by placing our complete trust in God's Word as the standard of truth. The Bible says in 1 John 4 and 1, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits. Try every spirit to see if it's of God. And then finally, refuse to be part of misinformation and lies. That's where we find 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 giving us very pointed and specific instruction in and things that we need to know about because we do not love the truth, receive the love of the truth than everything else is a lie. We're living in that atmosphere where people are not believing God and actually having pleasure, the Bible says there in verse 12, in unrighteousness. Well, there's one thing that I know, my friends. In the last days, Jesus said these things would take place. But the Word of God is true and the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the truth and the life. It's important for you today to embrace the truth who is Jesus Christ. And I hope that you'll share this out and remind everybody that Jesus Christ is coming soon. Amen. Do you believe that tonight? Hallelujah. Man, let's give the Lord a hand. Aren't you glad to be here on Wednesday night? Welcome out, Pace family. Let's go ahead and stand to our feet, if you will. And again, the Lord in prayer. Now, the Bible says that the name of the Lord is a strong tower that the righteous run into it in our safe. I don't know about you tonight, but I'm glad I have somewhere to run with my needs and all my concerns. And I know, like me and many of us here, we came in heavy tonight, and I'm praying that the Lord is going to, we're not going to leave the same way we came in tonight. Amen. If you'll take out your prayer and praise, there's a lot of needs here that are represented. So let's take it to the throne of grace right now. Father, we thank you God that you hear us tonight, Lord. That we can come boldly, Lord, and we can receive in our time of need, Lord. And we lift up our brothers and sisters, God, and we ask for a touch from heaven tonight, Lord. God, that you would be glorified, Lord. You purchase healing on the cross. So tonight we ask that by your stripes, they are healed, Lord. God, we know it's your heart that no one pairs. So we're asking that salvation would come, Lord, to the lost loved ones and relatives, Lord. That you would save to the uttermost, that you would deliver God, that you would restore families tonight, Lord. And, God, I know that many came in here heavy tonight, Lord. Let us leave light and encourage and refresh. Knowing that you go before us. Knowing that you fight our battles tonight, Lord. Knowing that you said we're more than conquerors in Christ Jesus tonight, Lord. We thank you that you're faithful and we can stand on your promises tonight. And it's in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Come on, give my hand tonight. He's faithful. Cross the aisle. Greet a friend, brother. As I greet our online guests, we're so grateful that you're with us tonight. Let us know where you're watching from and how we can pray for you. We're honored that you would be a part of the Face Family and we just honor you this evening. So grateful that you're here. God bless you tonight. Wherever you're watching from. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. It's so good to see everyone tonight. High five your neighbor. Let them know how good they're looking tonight. Amen. Hallelujah. Let's give our online family a big hand tonight. Let them know how much we appreciate them. Hallelujah. Well, the Bible says that the Lord loves a joyful giver whose heart is in their giving. Amen. Hallelujah. I've never come up short since I've trusted the Lord with my finances. I just want to say. So let's pray for the offering. Father, we thank you tonight for the gift and the giver like Lord. We ask that you would bless it to meet the needs Lord. And God will be careful to give you all the glory in Jesus name. We have our buckets in the back and also the QR codes online and you can always stick it in the mail. Bless you. A little crowd here tonight. So glad to see you. Are you glad to be here? Amen. Amen. Take your Bibles please and open up to Psalm 92. Psalm chapter 92. Students are out on the ball field tonight enjoying I think they call it something bonanza. And they're having a great time as the end of the school year has closed and they always do a big deal out on the ball field and wear them out so they'll go to sleep tonight. How's it going? Amen. I want to just hit a couple of two, three things here for you before we get into this lesson. First of all this coming weekend of course is Memorial weekend. It's also Pentecost Sunday and we look forward to having you in service with us this coming weekend. And especially to be praying for the family beach fest. It's going to be happening on Saturday. If you're a mind to help and assist in any way don't hesitate to make contact with Ben. You just saw him up here in Cherie. They'll be happy to get you to help volunteer out there. A lot of things going on. One thing is going to be going up off of that beach is worship and the word and celebrating the military and I want you to make sure that you're praying earnestly for it this coming weekend. And then for those of you that haven't yet to register for the Super Summer Sunday on June the 4th at 5 o'clock and Sunday afternoon be sure to do that. We need you to sign up so we can know what we need to get as far as items for that particular event. So you can do that on the way out or you can do that online and we encourage you please to sign up with all of our hearts, soul mind and strength. It helps to be able to know how many hot dogs to dish out and how many hamburgers and all of that. We want to be able to accommodate everybody so nobody walks away empty. God forbid especially when I'm talking about fullness here tonight. How's that? Now I'm going to make a statement in just a moment and I'm going to read a portion of this article and I'm going to ask you to do something that for some may be a total offense and I'm just going to tell you that if Christians do not stand their ground as I preached this past weekend in a culture that has lost its mind and is in a anti-God mentality all the way around but more than that when you target on purpose pardon the pun children and you lower your agenda to pervert them to destroy them to cause confusion inside of their soul and their spirit and their physical body if Christians do not rise up at that moment and take a stand then we are not worth our salt. End of story and that's the reason why that it is critically important that you participate and I need you to do it tonight or first thing tomorrow. So if you're not already aware the target stores and they're not the only ones but target seems to be on the forefront of this and if you haven't been in there and seen the displays and and I want to feel confident about what I'm about to say that while you may voice your opinion concerning Bud Light and their transgender agenda I think there's enough beer drinkers out in the world that will take care of that I trust that there are none in here that are popping the top but when it comes to target this is not the first time they've done this and it's not the first time that I've called for this action so this article is from the American Family Association which stands for if you're not familiar with them you can go online stands absolutely in firm for families for the God-designed family and the article reads that the Target Corporation has been holding emergency meetings in a growing number of stores to move the LGBTQ and transgender merchandise away from the front of the stores a target insider told Fox News that they were emergency calls and that some managers and district senior directors were told to tamp down the pride section immediately especially in the south it seems a little politically incorrect to label everybody in the south but whatever we were given 36 hours the article says to take all of our pride stuff the entire section and move it to a section in the third of its size in the back of the store target pride merchandise now if you're offended then you'll just have to be offended because I am not going to sugar coat what's going on you need to know what's happening because this is your children and your grandchildren and your little nieces and nephews and I'm going to tell you I'm a pastor I pray God give me the calmness of spirit and the fruit of the spirit love, joy, peace and all that but I'm just going to tell you when you come after one of these little ones I'm going to tell you on my street as I was growing up there was some mamas at both ends that would take care of business we didn't have no gang activity on my street we didn't have no drive-by nothing like that because the grandmas and the mamas and the aunts and uncles and whoever else was on there well if you got in trouble you got 36 weapons before you got back to the house to get the initial one the original weapon but this Arlo says that target pride merchandise includes female style swimsuits and don't be taken by surprise that we're not talking about just adult swimsuits we are targeting children that can be used to tuck male genitalia products labeled thoughtfully on multiple body types and gendered expressions a gender fluid mug a variety of adult clothing with slogans such as super queer, party supplies home decor multiple books and a grow at your own pace saucer planner the critics are particularly peeved about target pride merchandising for children which includes onesies and rompers for newborn babies and along with other apparel for kids of all ages this is just a short part of this article from the American Family Association I'm going to ask you to do two things I'm going to ask you to go online and we'll have petitions this coming weekend that you can sign if necessary but you need to go online fill out one of those petitions there's a number of different people that are doing this but the American Family Association will be one and they'll give you more information including a telephone number that you can call and voice your concerns and no reason to get mad just give the thus sayeth the Lord we taught you this past weekend how to do it as a Daniel come on somebody you can do it like Daniel and be able to correctly speak and let your voice be heard and so you need to do that Rita and I are going to do that first thing tomorrow and get that petition in and then the second thing that we're going to do this because I found out you know I tried to negotiate with one person years and years ago about how that they were building our church there at Destin and how they left things undone and didn't do what was necessary and I waited a year for them to come back and fix the problems at the church and eventually I took pictures and went down to the banker and laid it open to the banker because there was thousands of dollars that was in the bank that was supposed to be signed over to this contractor but I understood at that moment that only thing he understood was money and the only thing that these merchandisers understand is money and if you've ever seen the love of money in operation you're seeing it right now on every scale so the only way to stop that is to be able to stop shopping at target period don't do it now I'm asking you to do that as a pastor of this church and I'm asking you to do that and here's what I want you to do before you leave here tonight there's going to be children that are going to come out of here that are small babies from infants all the way up that are going to come through this sanctuary and when they do I want you to look at them and I want you to see that evil is coming after them and the only thing standing between them and now the evil is you and me as believers and salt and light more than half of the youth group that is on that ball field tonight their parents do not come to this church about the same for the children that are out here if we do not take a stand in this hour and push back on this I know everybody's got their opinions and you can keep your opinion to yourself because I'm of the persuasion if you don't take a stand now you never will did you hear what I said you better let your voice be listen your voice is heard on facebook on opinions and all that kind of stuff all the time this is worthy of action and it's worthy of you speaking about to friends and neighbors to help them get involved in what's going on right here are you hearing what I'm saying so I'm asking you to do that and I'm telling you I'm not doing because from time to time we've been in there at Target and I can feel that spirit inside of that place I wanted to get out well I can tell you that there will be no shopping from our house in that location they will not get our money and anybody else any other group in organization is not going to get the money from the Rogers house we're not going to support it I'll go out back and plant me some tomatoes and it'll be on and on and I don't even necessarily like tomatoes or anything I won't go starving but I will not support evil I said evil ladies and gentlemen you hear me it's evil if an adult wants to make up their mind to do something that's up to them and it's up to me and you to be able to give them because that's what I'm going to do this coming weekend this is pride weekend out on the beach they call it the Gay Riviera in Pensacola Florida now that there has been a tax that has come against our own state and accusations of racism and we don't like black people in the state of Florida and we don't like people period in the state of Florida let me just tell you something the state of Florida is open and there are more black-owned businesses in the state of Florida than any other state in the union how you like that for not liking a race that's a wrong and it's a lie and I'm going to call it out and I'm calling it out tonight because we must stand and it makes no difference if it's your children or mine it's up to us to make the stand that's necessary can you say amen to that now on the heels of that I got something else for you and thank God that there is a man of God that's bold enough instilled in him by his father and a man brought to the kingdom for such a time as this he puts his money where his mouth is he puts his action wherever hurting people are every time and Franklin Graham spoke at the national religious broadcasters in Orlando just a few days ago and I want to brief you on his comments to the national religious broadcasters Reverend Franklin Graham I'm just parsing some of this Reverend Franklin Graham means no words regarding faith in today's society he told all those gathered there's a storm coming and we've all got to get prepared Reverend Graham also said that every demon from hell has been turned loose in our culture today he said quote the world has deteriorated so quickly we cannot be deceived we can't be fooled we need to get ready and prepared why does he say that he asked the question of that crowd he said to them who owns the data who owns the data and the answer was Amazon he says Reverend Franklin Graham says as he was delivering the keynote speech we're living in a cancel culture a big corporation wants to destroy Christian organizations he said they want us to shut our mouths they don't want to hear from us quote we're living in a cancel culture and big corporations want to destroy Christian organizations they want us to shut our mouths they don't want us they don't want to hear from us he goes on to tell them we need to be prepared to defend ourselves against the growing cancel culture listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you in business this is what he said in business insurance and technology and challenge them to continue sharing the hope of Jesus Christ in the face of increasingly difficult circumstances he said quote if you're going to try to proclaim the gospel they're going to try to shut you up this is some bold preaching right here noting that if one doesn't talk about sin now listen to this this was a shot to the pastors and to the NRB if one doesn't talk about sin or preach the gospel then that person doesn't have anything to worry about in society but if you're going to try to proclaim the gospel then they're going to try to shut you up he goes on to say the LGBT agenda is leading the charge culturally I love them enough to try to warn them this way of life is sin he added the gospel says this is sin he also noted that many today want to soft-pedal any message of salvation in order to be friendlier to all groups not hurt feelings and make waves he said quote I love them enough to try to warn them that this way of life is sin just tell it he says just tell it the way it is preach don't back up don't make excuses thank you Franklin Graham the man of God in this hour I've heard a lot about this and talking with some other pastors about this situation I'm on teaching just a second but I feel it necessary to bring this to you because some people don't understand how to deal with the situations that we're in this Saturday I'm going to have the privilege to go out there and preach the gospel to people that probably are not going to be listening very much as they're swimming in the ocean and everything else and the idea in the modern pulpit is to just say that you're just supposed to love everybody and just tell them that Jesus loves them and that's part of it but it's not all of it because love without truth will send a soul to hell love without truth does not tell them what sin is and Paul said not the law I wouldn't even know what sin was I wouldn't know right from wrong so it's wrong to say that I'm just going love somebody into the kingdom without telling them that the kingdom is consisting of truth and here is that truth not based upon my opinion but right out of the Word of God Jesus said, thy Word is truth and why did he tell us then watch this he says speak the truth so it doesn't mean you need to be hateful but this coming Saturday I'm going to preach people's appointment with God and I'm going to tell them they've got an appointment they're going to stand before God and sin is sin and hell is real heaven is real and you get the awesome choice but one day every person on this people planet is going to stand before a holy God and give an account for what you've done with Jesus not because you smoke more than the other guy not because you drank more than the other guy what did you do with Jesus did you receive him as Savior and Lord then ladies and gentlemen that constitutes your name written in the Lamb's book of life according to Romans 10 verses 9 and 10 now did you follow after the Lord follow after truth or did you go your own way because if you go your own way I'm preaching now you're going backslide and if you fall away from coming to church and reading your Bible and praying then what I'm going to talk to you about tonight about the fullness your life will be empty, vain and useless for the kingdom of God now ladies and gentlemen what would you do if your house was on fire and the fire department showed up with no water in the truck you are useless why did you even come did you just want to drive down the road with lights and sirens to make a great big thing out there that I go to church on Sunday and hey look at me carry my Bible or have you got some water to put this fire out that's going to burn my house down y'all can fill in the blank whatever you want to on your paper with all of that so I'm going to give them the gospel we're going to love people and we're going to tell them the truth and when you put truth and love together I'm just going to tell you for all of you that are looking at me kind of funny right now the only reason why you're here is because you got truth and you got love and I can tell you those two are inseparable because they're all constituted and combined in the life of Jesus Christ the way the truth and the life thank you very much praise God pastor that's good preaching go on with your bad self now open your Bibles and let's go to the Word of God because if you're not full of the Spirit then you will be full of the culture that we're living in and what I have a problem with is not the people that are out there that I know sin sinners sin that's what they do but as a believer I have problems today talking with people who want to argue with me about the Bible or about biblical doctrine or truth from the Word it's not my opinion it's the Word you got an opinion I got opinion we can sit around and debate about what we think about something all day long but at the end of the day you cut to the chase and sever the argument in a moment ladies and gentlemen the Word is the truth and the necessity of you and me being filled with the Spirit is the only thing by the Holy Spirit is the only thing that is going to keep that culture that mindset of the world from invading our space now why is that so important because whatever you receive will come out if you got more of that world out there or you try to mix the two which God hates you hear me I mean he even taught us in the Word of God now listen this is how I know that it's evil to the core because the seeds that God had in the ground in the very beginning were not manufactured injected with mRNA vaccines and all kind of Monsanto junk put in there that's going to affect our physical bodies I was reading this past week how that many I'll probably get letters on this one how that many of the main fast food restaurants what you're eating that's called chicken in some cases is actually wood pulp manufactured pressed down shaken together and running over and dropped into your salad or fried in the fryer and we eat it up and we go home and we go oh lord what was that I mean it's online you can see it they name all the restaurants that have got this kind of ingredients in it that's killing us why am I saying that because it is needful it is of necessity Jesus said this it is expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away the God come because he can't be all in me and in you at the same time so Jesus the body the Christ the spirit ascended back to the father he prayed the father send the spirit my spirit to them and fill ever one of them and what happened on the day of Pentecost they were all filled and they all spake with tongues so away with all the arguments the discrepancies about people talking about tongues is not you know necessarily the physical sign you are way too late this thing has been operating since the book of Acts in the upper room and it's not holy laughter and it's not tears and it's not joy and it's not falling out on the floor biblically without going outside of the Scripture the Bible declares over and over again to this very day that the initial physical evidence of being baptized in the Holy Ghost is speaking with other tongues as the spirit gives utterance whether you're afraid to do it you haven't received the baptism yet whatever it is I will tell you there is no Holy Ghost from God that comes into your life that will not be manifested in the initial physical evidence of speaking with other tongues so I don't argue with people that have ideas that they just got up yesterday with or that you can be possessed by a demon as a Christian let me take that one on because I can tell you emphatically that is impossible Jesus will not share his house with the devil well Pastor Ma I had this incredible experience I'm thankful for your experience but you are doctrinally and biblically wrong love you but you cannot be possessed by a devil and be a Christian at the same time if you have to have a devil cast out of you after you've been born again and went to the cross then why in the world is Jesus in the mix anyway if Jesus can't deliver you from every demon spirit at the cross then ladies and gentlemen he is powerless let me make a plane for you you're dealing with your flesh I'm not saying there's not demons out there believe me there are demons out there there are demons all over the place and in fact somebody asked one preacher one time can Christians be demon possessed or can Christians have a bad spirit that was the remark and he said they can have whatever spirit they want so if you invite one to come in but I can assure you on the moment the entrance of a demon spirit Jesus is out well has he got more power than Jesus the only power the only power that possesses your life is the one you give the preeminence to you give your life over to Jesus Christ and there is no power that the devil has that can drive him from that as long as you keep your faith firmly in the cross of Jesus Christ the devil can't touch you he can oppress you he can mess with you all kinds of outside interference but on the inside I'm washed I'm clean I'm sanctified I'm filled I'm gloriously filled with the power of the Holy Spirit now why am I saying that because Christians leak that's why I'm teaching this lesson tonight in the book of Ephesians the Bible says give no place to the devil say that with me give no place to the devil come on say it again give no place now that would not be possible if the scripture didn't say it so what does that mean well pastor I'm not letting the devil in I know I get it I'm not letting the devil in either but to the degree that I that I maintain my fellowship with the Holy Ghost on a daily basis the very Christ man and stay filled with the Holy Spirit renewed every day of my life according to the book of Ephesians is the degree to which I will operate with a carnal mind or a spiritual mind Romans chapter 7 Romans chapter 8 so important that we are filled full with the Holy Spirit filled full with the Holy Spirit so I'm picking up from the lesson I'm not going to reteach all of that that was my introduction but I want to pick up here in Psalm 92 because the promise comes to us the promise comes to us from the book of well through the whole Bible for that matter but verse 10 says but my horn shall be exalted like the horn of a unicorn that actually translated would be better said ox I shall be anointed with fresh oil say that with me I shall be anointed with fresh oil how many times well Lord baptize me as many times as I needed every day of my life I mean I might I might expend a whole lot of energy and a whole lot I can assure you I need your prayers on Saturday Sean Foyt and all of those that are working out there on that beach because there is debauchery that's going on all around that and right in the middle of it we're going to step in there and turn the light on now the devil don't like that stuff but until we invade the darkness with the light then all kinds of things like hanging out in darkness you hear what I'm saying when you disturb it you can expect things to come out my new neighbors came across the street and met my wife and I yesterday just moved in they said of course I went right into preacher mode inviting them to church I said it's closer than the one you're going to you said come on down no but they came over to tell us that there would be someone arriving there today on their property that we needed to know this because it is the season it is the time when snakes are laying their eggs right now and that they have hired somebody to go in and start mulching up the area of woods behind their house that they just purchased across the street and that there's possibility that there may be some movement just for us to be aware ladies and gentlemen when you start mulching up stuff spiritually speaking even physically you can expect the attack come on somebody you can expect all kinds of things to come and bite you and hiss at you and all that kind of thing but can I tell you greater I'm about to have a fit that is in you then he that is in the world stop being a wimpy Christian ladies and gentlemen and rise to the occasion in this hour you should listen if you're not going to work for the kingdom and call yourself a Christian then let the Lord take you on to heaven right now what we need is an army of people who will say I will not be deterred come on let's just call them let's just call them Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and sound the horns but we will not bow and we will not burn because the Lord is going to be with us so with that in mind staying full of the Holy Spirit is what causes you to have right thinking causes you to be kind to one another my little granddaughter said today I went and picked her up on our last day of school and she said she said Pa I got the award for kindness and friendship I said way to go baby you probably didn't get it from me but way to go I'm kind come on why are you laughing all of that is part and parcel of the Holy Spirit and he doesn't work on he doesn't operate by fruits it's the fruit of the Spirit so all of the Holy Spirit he's not depositing a quarter of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you when you got say when you got filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit he came in completely all of him all of the Christ man so why is that so important because the church needs the fresh oil of the Holy Spirit when you're battling like we are in this culture let me just say to you and the reference here in Acts 4 31 is that fact that Peter and John were on their way to the temple to pray as it was their custom the Bible says and there's this lame man laid at the gate he's been there for years and years and years and nobody cared anything about it but the sensitivity the Holy Spirit leaped up on the inside of them and said let hands on this man and rise him up off his bed and let a miracle happen so they did he gets up he goes into the synagogue I love this story I love this story because that lame man who had been laid there at the gate and everybody who went to worship for years walked right past him and didn't care nothing about it they might have dropped a little coin in there whatever he said hey I need some alms alms for the poor said we don't have no silver and gold but what we do have such as we have we give unto thee in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk they took him by the hand and lifting him up off of his bed and he took off running inside of that synagogue and messed up their service I see it right now the rabbis hollering sit down sit down and he said are you kidding me I've been sitting down for 38 years it's my day to run so they go through that and it's wonderful and people are rejoicing and the haters are hating and the people that are mad or mad and they don't know what to do with it so they take the two preachers that cause the disturbance in jail beat them up told them you don't ever preach in the name of Jesus again if we do we're gonna we're gonna find you we're gonna arrest you just like they did the guy in the UK for passing out Bibles just like they did the guy the preacher up in Canada for preaching the gospel it's happening what I'm saying is what we see in the scripture in Acts 4 is happening right now the only reason why you don't hear about it more is because there's not enough believers out on the street doing what they need to do that's the reason why you need the fullness of the Holy Ghost cause he's gonna make you bold in the moment that you need to be bold so they go through all of this Peter and John are loose from jail they go over to the house said what y'all doing we're praying good glad y'all showed up they got inside of the house they said in Acts 4 and 31 and when they prayed the place was shaken where they were at the presence of God came in the Bible says they were all filled with the Holy Ghost there's the key they were refilled with the Holy Ghost why because they had listen you don't arrest your pastor and everybody in the church go you know oh it's okay everything's good it's pulling energy out of you pulling prayer out of us pulling all kind you're having all kind of mental problems and dreams and what's gonna happen now is the church gonna shut down blah blah blah I can imagine all the conversation going on and all of that energy is tapping on the Holy Spirit I didn't say that they didn't remain baptized in the Holy Ghost what they needed was not the original baptism they needed a refilling of the glass so that's what they did they took another drink and they were baptized in the Holy Ghost fresh they were freshly filled and then the Bible says the third ingredient is that they spoke the Word of God with boldness now that's a key because had they not been refilled the boldness would not have been there because that's exactly why the Holy Spirit's come to take away our excuses of shyness and all kinds of stuff because it's not dependent upon us it's the Christman on the inside are you here when I'm saying if you're depending on your ability and your intellect and your human and most people are not gonna do it because they're gonna go well they don't like me and I'm not sure that they would receive it and they're looking mean at me listen if that was true I wouldn't be preaching every week you should see the faces coming back at me y'all better smile at me right now you're on camera around the world why is that so important because we must remain full the church needed refilling and this was the only time it happened it happened continually in fact I submit to you it probably happened it daily because the Bible says that the apostles went from house to house breaking bread daily which where they were receiving communion and enjoying fellowship together and they would speak the Word of God back and forth that filled their lives as they talked about Jesus they the more they talked about Christ the more filled they became are you hearing what I'm saying I can get on the phone with some preacher friends of mine and next thing you know they're gonna be they're gonna be depositing what they preached last week or whatever it may be and we start chatting back and forth and talking about next thing you know we say goodbye it wasn't even about how was the weather and all that it was about the fact that we've just fed off of one another and he hooked his motor up to me and I hooked my motor up to him and there was a charge of the Holy Ghost because we were talking about Jesus the more you talk about Jesus the more full that you're going to become so the church needed this filling and we need listen if the church in acts needed this filling constantly you and I need this filling can you say a man we need fresh oil when something gets in the ointment we talked a little bit about it last week when you get flies in the ointment it's it's not good I'm just telling you if a fly dropped on to your some of y'all getting grossed out right now aren't you if a fly flew into your kitchen dropped into your pan of oil that you were heating up so you could fries and french fries you'd throw that oil out and get you some more because you don't know that little fly has laid a million eggs in your grease you hear what I'm saying that's what he says here and Ecclesiastes 10 and 1 he says when the flies get in the ointment it starts stinking so what's the key the anointing becomes offended or grieved when we become stagnant or too familiar and let me tell you I've talked to some classic pentecostal people before and they thought they could predict everything was going to happen in that service and the moment a church gets predictable is the moment they better get on their face and call on God because I'm too familiar with the Holy Ghost I don't care what you call yourself first assembly fire baptized PHCOG come on I don't know what you are I don't care about that I want to know is there a fresh flow of the Holy Ghost that's keeping the flies away they just shut down a restaurant in here in this in this town which I will remain nameless and last time we ate in there we had some friends with us the last time we ate in there there were so many flies I couldn't even get to what I was eating is that grossing you out? I hope it does because you need to be that offended when stuff gets inside of your spirit and starts contaminating you things like anger and bitterness and unforgiveness come on and malice and hatred and on and on and on you hear what I'm saying that means you got to get the oil you got to get fresh oil going in here something is grieving the Holy Spirit from operating and flowing in my life y'all quiet bunch but I know I'm speaking truth we can grieve the Holy Ghost it actually implies that we have power over him in other words when we think a thought different than what the Holy Spirit would identify as being true we're actually offending the Holy Ghost and the presence and power of God will not flow in our lives we're saying my opinion about this matter is greater than what the Word of God has to say are you hearing me? look at this to grieve the Holy Spirit means to cause him sorrow grief and heaviness these are factors that takes place now the Holy Ghost is always going to be joy grieve when we grieve we push back in other words we become empty void of the fullness void of the peace void of the truth so now that heaviness is not the Holy Ghost that heaviness is on us because the joy of the Lord that is our strength through the power of the Holy Spirit is not resident moving inside of our life how many of you know what I'm talking about you know because you've experienced that before I hope I'm helping you here tonight because the Holy Spirit has a mind Holy Ghost Holy Spirit synonymous terms the Bible says in Romans chapter 8 verse 27 that he has a will we can pray in the Holy Spirit because he knows the mind of the Father he already knows what the mind of the Spirit is there is the spirit of the mind and then there is the mind of the Spirit if you're thinking with your own thoughts your own ideas against the Word of God then you're thinking with the Spirit of the mind but the mind of the Spirit knows the things of God and he will always glorify Jesus and point you to the truth of God's Word so let's run this down real quick the Holy Spirit loves the Bible says he's not doing love he is love are you understanding what I'm saying he is love what else does he do he guides us where does he guide us into all truth he will never lie to you he will never speak a what do you call it untruth misinformation he will never bend the truth to suit it for your occasion are you hearing me God knows we need that right now don't we he will do what he will intercede for us he's doing that right now for you he's interceding for you what else is he doing when his fullness is in my life he's strengthening me you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you so since the Holy Ghost lives in Christians and convicts us of our sins then we grieve him then by sinning which is probably the top issue of grievance to the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit then works and this is the reason why he was sent he works to reveal sin to reveal truth and to reveal his glory according to John chapter number 16 so when we close our eyes to the light this is exactly what Franklin Graham was trying to do to the national religious broadcasters turn the light on guys we have a national media that's lying to us we have people that are lying all the way around and I don't see accountability in there so what does that mean that means you as a Christian individual must search for the truth that's important for us that's important for us when we close our eyes to the light we're guilty of resisting the Spirit or what the Bible calls quenching the Spirit in 1 Thessalonians 5 19 so consider these illustrations real quick as we move along first let me bring this character to you named Eli the high priest Eli the high priest had two sons, Hoppe and I, Phineas they were a couple of clowns standing at the back door of the church propositioning every woman that comes in the door and use their power as the sons of the high priest to be able to get one over on everybody but eventually they've met their match but here's where did it start watch this, the Holy Spirit a symbol of the Holy Spirit type and symbol of the Holy Spirit is light or the glory of God so here's what the Bible says about Eli, long before long before Hoppe and I and Phineas stole the Ark of the Covenant tried to go out and win the battles with it long before they ever got caught up at the front door with prostitutes and everything else Eli Eli had already been reducing his authority and influence in their life and here's what the Bible says and air the lamp of the Lord went out in the temple oh Lord the guys who were supposed to be keeping the wicks trimmed and the oil fresh in the lamp to show the light in the Holy place they weren't doing their jobs, they were busy doing something else and as a result the light of God, the glory of God went out of the temple and Eli didn't even recognize it here's another character in the Scripture Samson what happens with Samson well Samson was a he-man with a she-problem he does all these wonderful feats the Bible continually says to him about him that the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson he rips the gate and runs up the hill ties fox's tails together and lights them on fire all these incredible feats and strength and ability that was done by the Spirit coming upon him not in him, upon him and what happened, now watch this because this is where your fullness can leak out many times the Bible says that Samson after these feats you see started dabbling down in Gaza he said mom and daddy I want that unsaved that woman down there that's not a Jewish woman I want her well no you don't need her no I want you go get her so little by little these things took place and along comes Delilah by the time she gets there Samson had fought battles and done all kinds of stuff and the man was physically tired hear what I'm saying there is a danger when we get physically tired mentally tired emotionally tired that we become in a state of vulnerability and Samson laid his head down in the lap of Delilah and went to sleep he wasn't even interested in being able to be with Delilah he just wanted a soft pillow to lay down on he went to sleep and she tempts him and wakes him out of sleep how the Philistines are upon you he rises up breaks the bonds and Spirit of the Lord come upon him and every time watch this physical strength even though the Holy Spirit was upon him he was draining and it drained him to the point of such tiredness that by the time that he had listen man there is so much teach right here I'm trying every time a temptation comes your way every time a battle and sometimes we don't recognize that little battle or that situation or whatever it may be has drained something from me you get in an argument with somebody how many of you know what I'm telling me you ever got in an argument with your spouse don't raise your hand watch all do it you ever got in an argument with somebody that you care about and all of a sudden it drains you you feel mentally physically tired of it are you hearing what I'm saying and you wonder why what's going on listen the renewal of the Spirit is absolutely necessary because every temptation every attack every battle everything is coming to sap that strength you I mean you argued with your spouse and the next thing you know y'all make up and you wonder what were we arguing about what was that all about I'll tell you what was all about it was all about the enemy trying to sap your strength come on somebody the targeting of your life there are vulnerabilities that somebody all pastor that's not true I'm strong in the Lord that's real fine and good but I'm telling you when you get physically tired mentally tired it affects your spirit and if you don't replenish in the presence of God sometimes my replenishment comes by just turning on some praise music and shut my mouth I know it's hard for you to believe that I could do that but I actually do that how many of you know what I'm talking about just listening to music that supplies and strengthens my soul before I got here tonight and I'll probably bring this up next weekend here but the Bible says praying in the Holy Ghost building up yourself on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit are you hearing what I'm saying that's part I'm building myself up that's part of replenishing myself so all of that is putting a it is putting a tax on you I must be replenished day after day if I don't I can become like Samson and he laid his head in the lap of Delilah she pulls out her shears and she cuts off his hair because why because she he gave up he if there was a Facebook in Samson's time he said I am so sick and tired of this woman nagging on me about my power that he types out just so you know if you cut my hair off I'll lose my power see the enemy wants to keep hitting hitting hitting until he wears you down until you say forget it here's the deal you hear what I'm saying she cuts his hair off and what happens this is so incredible the Bible says that the spirit departed from him and Samson didn't even know it are you hearing what I'm saying oh God I think that's where I hear the cry of David saying to God take not thy Holy Spirit from me look at David that's what he says in Psalm 51 take not thy Holy Spirit from me but what does David constantly do right here in Psalm 92 what does he do in Psalm 23 he says this in his prayer thou anointest my head with oil my cup runneth over surely goodness and mercy shall fall thou anointest my head with oil go ahead and anoint my head Lord anoint my thinking, anoint my spirit thou anointest my head with oil what does he say and I love this story too in 2 Samuel chapter 21 the Bible says because sometimes our physical man feels stronger than our spiritual man and sometimes our spiritual man feels stronger than our physical man and the older you get the more your spirit is ready to run out and fight giants like you used to when you were 20 problem is and now you're out on the battlefield and what's going on and David said I took Goliath this ain't no match I'll take him too and David jumps out runs out into the battlefield by Goliath's brother giant and here comes Abishai and he slays the giant pulls David back in now listen to what he says pulls David back behind the fortress there and there they are his mighty men are gathered up and said this is the last day that you're going to go out watch this lest the lamp the light of Israel goes out if we lose you king to some old devil will be scattered man I feel the anointing of God coming upon me right now hey daddy hey mama in your house for your children for your grandchildren for your great grandchildren if you fool around at this late hour and you miss what God has told you to do and the way you're supposed to live come on now I'm talking to some people that are online right now that you ought to be in the house of God and your children and grandchildren are not here is because they've looked at you and the lamp of the Lord has gone out I'm not trying to indict you I'm just trying to tell you you have influence in generations behind you so get up and defy the devil and go to church and let them know the light is on in my life the spirit is full I need the presence and the fellowship of God's people one of the main ingredients for refilling is the fellowship of God's people so the Bible says we have 41 or 40 and 31 but they that come on y'all reading the same Bible with me they that wait wait wait upon who the Lord wait upon who you're waiting on the Lord don't worry about waiting on people he didn't say wait on people he said they that wait on the Lord if you'll wait on the Lord he will renew your strength he didn't say maybe he said shall renew your strength why is that so important because he's saying to us stay at it wait on the Lord if you can't figure out what's going on wait on the Lord if the Lord's not speaking wait on the Lord what's he gonna do he's gonna fill me up with what I need for the next battle that I do not even know that I'm about to get in he's gonna strengthen me with something that I'm gonna need for the next battle I'm telling you and it's just the way it is and I say this for myself and I feel like I'm gonna be in the company of friends here tonight too many times probably 98 plus percent of the time we don't know that the battle that we have just come through what it was all about and how much energy it took and more importantly how we made it through until we get on the other side and go oh that's what that was all about and you even look at yourself and people look at you say oh man you're a great man of God great woman of God of power strength and faith look at you look what you came through and you going yeah yeah yeah and then you go back home and go I don't know how in the world I made it through that Jesus I just want to thank you because if it had not been for the Lord who was on my side I wouldn't be sitting in this building here tonight somebody ought to thank God right now so what did Jesus say? Jesus said these disciples go tarry in Jerusalem till you be in due with the promise power from on high we're so used to fast food drive up bank windows in a fast lifestyle that we don't know how to tarry anymore the Bible tells us in Acts 3 and 19 look at this repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out now watch this you ought to underline this when the times of refreshing now come from the presence of the Lord he's giving you the ingredients for the necessary refreshing what is it repent well well pastor I ain't done nothing wrong repent well I don't feel like I've done anything wrong repent fall on your face and beg for forgiveness from God put your faith fresh in the cross of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and then wait for the refreshing of the presence of God to renew you pastor I don't feel saved go to the cross repent before God for doubting him because he said he would save you to the uttermost I preached Tuesday morning to millions on King TV across Pakistan and I told him the same thing I'm telling you here tonight first John 1 and 9 if we confess the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart he said he would forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness there is no p.s. to that there is nothing that we have to do he comes and says put your faith right in me confess your sins and God is faithful and just to forgive you of your sin come on he's faithful is he faithful is he just if he said he would do it forgive you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness now what are you waiting on I'm waiting on the wind of the Holy Ghost to blow through my soul because as soon as I cleanse the temple there is a wind there is an oil there is a water that's going to come and refresh me in the presence of God can you say amen to that tonight praise God God is calling us he's sending a fresh anointing question is do you want it so from Psalm 92 finally got to my text in verses one through nine the Psalmist is writing down about the greatness of God and the threats that are on him from a variety of different enemies and verse number ten he comes and tells us speaking of God giving strength like he says the unicorn but the term is ox power like the power and strength of an ox since the wild since this wild ox is referred to here is an ancestor of the domesticated cattle it symbolizes strength coming and the metaphor means that God is giving to the Psalmist right here renewed power much the way the animal finds their renewal so the word I shall be anointed the word anointing here or anointed is actually a picture of a person watch this I might be reading your email right now is a picture of a person who is worn out who is tired who is spent and in need desperately of a renewing with fresh oil the anointing the anointing is a symbol of the fresh energy and life and rejuvenating strength that comes and the vitality of a spiritual life that has been renewed and full of the Holy Ghost so what is it so God is the source for us when we are spiritually spent when we are emotionally flat when we are mentally dull and when we are physically exhausted we have never been there before why do I get in that condition pastor because sometimes there's long periods of stress you ever been there you ever had the illness of a loved one or someone that you are concerned about going on and you didn't know that it was drawing on you so much it's not that you're not baptized on the Holy Ghost, it's not that you're not believing but I have found in my life that the more intense the battle is the more I use up let me draw an analogy if you've got to drive faster to get somewhere you're going to utilize more fuel in your car and whether you like it or not sooner or later depending on how far you've got to go I'll be getting this how far you've got to go how much energy you spend between now and then how much fuel you use up at some point you're going to have to stop and refuel if I've got a long way to go I'm I'm notorious I know there's men in this room that knows what I'm talking about because we don't like stopping for nothing if I could fuel up and have a reserve tank and not have to stop for nothing my wife is saying would you please pull over I need to stop at the rest stop right here well look at the time we got to go it ain't going to be good if you don't stop this wagon okay where is it at you just ran past three of them men actually get excited when they've run past three of them and they see the next stop is 52 miles okay baby we're going to stop sooner or later you're going to stop sooner or later you're going to have to pull over and refuel and the cost of it might be really painful I might feel like I'm losing time are you tracking with me now God knows the trip God knows that 10 miles down the road on the interstate there's been a major wreck that you would be in had you not stop for fuel right here and you get back out on the road and you turn on your ways which incidentally is a Jewish app that shows you where everybody is and what's going on and what's happening on the road and you go man I got to get down the road I'm stuck I mean we were coming home from Nashville and we get down there and there was a wreck on the road and my ways app said turn here I'm preaching right now I know you think I'm just telling a story but I am preaching I hope you're getting all of these subliminal messages in here turn here it's giving me the route I see other cars pulling off but the first thought in my mind is I'm about to lose control because I'm on this road and I'm not sure I can trust that come on somebody even though other people I see I'm tracking that way and even though it's going turn here turn now turn now and if you don't turn two things are going to happen you're either going to stop in that traffic and burn up all your fuel and get bitter and mad and angry and all that kind of stuff and then you're losing all your ghost or you're going to make this turn and trust the one who's telling you where to turn I got on that app and it said turn here turn left at the next light make a sharp left turn and follow it for the next three miles we had to go I had no idea the road was even oh god help me Jesus I had no idea that the road was even there all I saw was backed up traffic but this road was running parallel with the interstate and all I had to do was trust the voice of the leader that was guiding me into all truth and by the time it was over with we popped back out on the interstate past all of the stuff that was going on and didn't lose any time whatsoever in fact we were doing better than we ever had you know what? Cause the Holy Ghost will lead you and guide you into all truth I gotta hurry why y'all stopping me like that sometimes a lack of discipline in ourselves for times of renewal and rest even physical exhaustion or maybe ignoring the need to go back to the well spiritually that's where I really feel like a lot of people are man oh man why did y'all make me preach so long here tonight? I won't get it all done tonight guess I gotta trust the Holy Ghost cause I've been flowing there an hour for the past half hour y'all all frustrated cause you can't fill in your blanks can you I'm frustrated cause I can't give you something to fill into blank with cause I might not see some of y'all next week I don't know I share with you because I know you're gonna face it at some point or another you may have some decisions that are on your mind right now that you're not even able to focus in this service because it's weighing so heavy listen he didn't send the Holy Ghost for us just so we could speak in tongues run around the building shout and fall out he sent the Holy Ghost to be our helper our helper anybody need any help in here tonight let me see your hand can't tell from your faces come on now I'm just telling you he's come to be our helper our paraclete the one come alongside there's some people in this building whenever I say this they're gonna go see you read too much before you came in this building but I'm just gonna tell you the Holy Ghost knows more than all the AIs in the world that they call it AI artificial intelligence you know what I've got living on the inside of me the real intelligence I've got divine intelligence come on somebody anybody got some divine intelligence in here oh my god so I want to say to you before we leave out of here because I won't finish this you know it I'm not even gonna try we take it in small bites this is hors d'oeuvres you're gonna run up against something between now and the end of the week you're gonna run into your trial you're gonna run into your temptation you're gonna run into situations that's gonna drain you whatever you do whatever you do are you hearing me here tonight whatever you do find a place that you can pull over on the side of the road spiritually speaking and refill refill your tank before listen you know what I'm talking about how many of you have ever operated on fumes before you know what I'm talking about yeah you thought you were strong and then you got in the middle of the mess and the next thing you know you found out oh man I just stepped into the rink with Muhammad Ali and he's beating my head off I might need to turn into Mike Tyson and bite an ear or something I don't know you gotta stop this thing because I'm getting beat up you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about I think that's the only reason why I bit the ear he was tired of getting beat up he just said we gotta do something stop this fight because when you've been fighting and fighting and fighting and I'm just gonna tell you it could be physical sickness it could be a diagnosis that you got from the doctor that you came to this church and you don't even realize you don't even realize how much that it's drawing on that anointing I'm just gonna tell you here and all of you that are watching online the mere fact that you're listening to this word in the frail way that I'm bringing it the mere fact that you're in this place and you're receiving the Word of God here's what the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so I know I'm getting my faith built up because I'm hearing the Word I'm not hearing opinion and I'm not getting some pablum I'm getting some Word in my spirit here tonight but here's the real thing the Holy Ghost is gonna strike the match in your soul and light that Word on fire and you're gonna be full of fire and Holy Ghost to be able to make the right decisions that you need to make those folks came across the street they said we bought this house because it was in our price range in the time we're living just because something looks good and you feel like you can fit it into your deal does not necessarily mean that you need to that's the reason why you need the Holy Ghost in this hour to lead you and guide you into all truth why because he knows the future and if I get and hawk up to my eyeballs I might not be able to give and I know that I need to and now I'm in a dilemma because I didn't listen to the Holy Ghost when I needed to do that friends hear the spirit he is speaking if you'll open your ears he's speaking to the people who know that they need strength from God how many of you know that you need that tonight let me see your hand come on just lift that other hand towards heaven and let's just ask for it right now in the name of Jesus Lord there are situations that are going on in this room and watching online around the world that we have no idea what all of it is and Lord it's not for them to tell me and it's not for them to be in some counseling session to try to figure it out with other human beings who don't know what to do but your spirit knows exactly you know the end from the beginning you know everything in the middle and you know how to replenish and how to restore Lord be able to renew every life I pray that the spirit of God would rush through this place into the souls of every individual right now give them wisdom give them knowledge come on somebody ask for it give me wisdom I don't know how to raise these kids God give me wisdom give me knowledge I'm trying to be able to make decisions and Lord give me wisdom give me knowledge give me understanding of the spirit you are the spirit of understanding the spirit of wisdom you're the spirit of life you're the spirit of knowledge so bring that spirit fresh into my soul right now fill me God to overflowing I give you praise for it right now in Jesus name amen will you receive this tonight in the name of the Lord come on give God praise for the infilling of the Holy Ghost amen do you love one another that was a little weak over here this might be the hater bunch over here so all you that love one another I want you to get up go find your hater and go shake their hand and tell them how much smile like a chess eye or cat right in their face and tell them you love them with the love of the Lord I'll see you this weekend right here it's Memorial weekend and Pentecost Sunday don't miss it
