 Prophecy Files briefing. We're glad that you've joined us for just a few moments here today and I want to bring you this information and call for you to step into action concerning what's taking place with Target and how important it is that the voices of Christian people, those that have values and beliefs that are steeped in the Word of God and for the protection of our children and free speech even will take action immediately. You have been hearing the controversy and you've been seeing the numbers that as it's been declining for different corporations that have chosen to take its cause up with ungodly activity and it's been nothing short of a serious backlash towards Target that has lost millions of dollars as a result of it. This is not the first time that they've done this but the push that has been happening in the Target stores has been the push of the pride garments, the pride wear as it's called and in combination, interestingly enough, the combination is with satanic type t-shirts and the like. Those that believe in Satanism are actually behind the garments that are being pushed towards children and adults but you need to understand that this is a serious time for Christians to take action and I make a bold statement to you now that if you are a Christian you will take action because in the time we're living this is not a time for you to sit back and wait for someone else to do something. It's time now to stand to the cause because the Target is just one of many the Target corporation with its pride push. Interestingly enough it was pride that brought Satan down and will bring down every individual that involves himself with it but you're seeing that push coming from different corporations all around and unless Christians and those of biblical values will stand up in this hour then certainly there is a tsunami that is coming. In fact I'm thankful for Franklin Graham who stood at the National Religious Broadcasters just a few days ago and reminded everyone and told all of us that there is a storm coming and that storm is going to wind up being over First Amendment rights. You could read the article but it's so important that we take the stand in this hour against evil. I want to draw your attention very quickly and this is prophetic because Jesus said as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man. Well what was it like in the days of Noah? Genesis chapter 6 the Bible says this that the Lord saw, that's a dangerous thing when the Lord sees that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination and intention of all mankind's thinking was only evil continually. Can you see that happening at Target? Certainly it is. In fact I know that the scripture directs it towards young believers but I can tell you to offend, to take advantage, to abuse, to pervert children and try to persuade them that somehow that they are of a different gender than what God created them to be is absolutely evil at its very core and heart. The Bible says though that right in the middle of all of that Noah found grace and favor in the eyes of God and as a result of that Noah of course built an ark to the saving of his household. I want to also draw your attention quickly to this prophetic statement that comes as Paul is writing to his young protégé Timothy and he says in the last days perilous times will come where men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, here we are, blasphemers, disobedient parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers without self control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure, more than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. They go to church, they proclaim their religion and I believe that what we're seeing here is the formation of an actual religion from a from what you might call a woke religion that is taking over our land today and we're asking the question is there anybody in leadership that is standing up? Is there anybody that's going to be the voice of protection and the voice of the Lord in faith and in strength in these last days? Well, if you're looking towards Washington, you're going to miss it. But if you're looking to those of this area and in your area that can stand up for biblical values and make their position heard, then the time is now. I want to encourage you today in light of these prophetic events, letting us know in the last days that we're living in it right now because of what you see to take the opportunity to write and to call target. There's numbers that are already set up, call their corporate headquarters and with kindness but firmness of faith, let them know that you voice your opposition to it. Sign the petitions that are being circulated and also be ready to stand in the days that are ahead. Franklin Graham's warning to us is very critical. There's a storm coming and we better be prepared for it as we're looking on the horizon for more and more of evil and darkness to encroach upon our society. That's why there must be individuals just like Noah who would stand as pillars of faith and strength in the last days and that's you. And I want to remind you whatever you do, keep looking for Jesus because I believe Jesus Christ is coming soon. Amen. You believe that? Hallelujah. So good to see you. I mean, I love Wednesday nights being with my brothers and sisters and encouraging and loving on one another. How many know we need that? Amen. If you'll stand with me, we'll go the Lord in prayer. How many here tonight would say, Hey, I need a healing or someone in my family needs a healing. I believe the healer is in the house tonight. Amen. He said we're two or three are gathered. He's in our midst. So right now, Father, we come to you in Jesus name, Lord, God, and we're asking on behalf of our brothers and sisters, Lord, that you would reach down and you would touch God that healing would flow through your veins. Lord, do Emmanuel's veins of virtue of healing that you would touch the body of Christ tonight. Lord, God, we need you. We're desperate for you like never before. God, you said you to do it. Seedently above all that we could dare to ask think or even imagine. So, Lord, tonight we want salvation to come to our families. Lord, God, we need you. God, our families need you. God, healing touch right now the one watching through livestream sitting in that hospital bed with no hope. God, reach out right now and bring hope into that room. Lord, God, we don't know what else to do but to call on you, Lord. But we rest tonight in your faithfulness knowing that you always answer, Lord. And God, we give you all the praise, all the glory, all the honor in Jesus name. Give him a hand tonight. He's worthy. He's worthy. Cross the aisle, greet a neighbor, shake a hand. As I greet our online guests, we're so grateful that you're here tonight. We're honored that you would choose to be with us on this Wednesday night. Hey, let us know where you're watching from. We'd love to know how we can pray for you. And again, we're just honored that you would be a part of the Pace family. God bless you tonight. Amen. So good to be in the house of the Lord. Can we give our online guests a big round of applause? Come on, let them hear it. Amen. And as we get ready to bless the offering, don't forget we have the buckets in the back. You can give online. There's a QR code. You can also mail in a check. But Father, right now we thank you, Lord, for the gift and the giver. God, we ask that you would bless it to meet the needs God in this hour. And we give you all the praise in Jesus name. Amen. Please welcome Pastor Rogers as he comes to the platform. Amen. Jesus is all I can say. He's the only one worthy. Glad for you to be here tonight. And I believe that the Lord is going to speak to us this evening. If you've got your Bibles, I want you to turn them over to the book of Psalm chapter 92 and put a finger there. And then I want you to come back to Ephesians chapter 3 verse 19. And while you're doing that, I want to thank all of you that participated last weekend in signing petitions concerning Target. You know, I often speak of, well, let me say before I say that the latest numbers that I hear is that there's some $25 billion that's been lost by them alone. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Some 12 to 15, as I understand, by them alone. And their stock value is going down. And rightfully so. And so there are other corporations that are wanting to do that. But I want to be able whether you know them or not, I certainly don't, but I'm grateful because I do have a lot of times things to say concerning Hollywood and actors and actresses and sports stars that a lot of times whenever they get a pocket full of money, that that's all that they look at. But I'm thankful to know that there are Christian major league baseball players this past week who have stood up and said, you know what? I believe in Jesus Christ dot on the cross for my sins. And I do not endorse what's taking place with the Dodgers and all the others that are going on. So I want to tell you if we'll just keep standing and prayerfully pushing back on the darkness and keep turning the light on when there's that momentum and especially when it affects the dollars. I found out that that's the only thing that seems to speak to people a lot of times. And so when you won't shop there and you won't endorse it by your shopping there, it sends a loud signal. And so I encourage you to continue to do that. If you haven't already signed the petition, you can go online and do that. There's multiple ways that you can do that. And I encourage you to be able. Tonight is the last night that we will have before Sunday for you to sign up to be a part of the summer Sunday celebration this coming weekend. And it's going to be happening at five o'clock this coming Sunday afternoon. We're going to have blow ups on the field for the kids. We're going to have rock climbing wall out there for the adults. We're going to have insurance and ambulances are on the way on the way down. It's going to be a terrific time. We are pairing for what is effectively the very first churchwide event since COVID. And we want you to be a part of it. There's already close to 450 people that's already signed up to be there. We're planning on more. You invite your friends and neighbors, let them come. And if you will sign up, if you haven't already, you can do that online or you can do that in the four year this evening. We're just needing a number so we make sure that we are covered to make sure that we can take care of you. Everything will be free. All you need to do is come and enjoy fellowship together. When you're coming in the gate, we're going to actually just put your first name down on a little sticker so we can get to know one another. And they're going to have kickball out there for everybody that can still kick. And for those of you that can raise a chicken leg to your face, we're going to have no chicken. We'll have hamburgers and hot dogs. How's that? I just about went off the edge right there. All of those that were planning went, what? So staff's been planning and getting things together. And so we want you to make sure that you're here. It's going to be a wonderful time. I'm excited about it. The enemy wanted to put us out of business, but we're just going to rise back up and enjoy fellowship with one another like God's people need to, amen? So make plans for that. And again, the information for you to sign up is in the four year and we'd ask you to be able to take time to do that. Welcome all of you that are watching online tonight from around the world. We're blessed to be able to have you. Hope you'll share it out on your social media so that you can be a blessing to other people as we take up this study that I and you know, I said this at the house to myself coming here, but it sounds self serving, but it's not. I honestly am telling you, someone was telling me on the phone late this afternoon how much that this message series has been a blessing and has been feeding them. I said, well, let me tell you, I don't give you something that I haven't eaten already and enjoyed. And if it's good for me, I'm going to serve it up to you. And I have enjoyed this series because I believe that it is one that is so needful in the vacuum of our soul many times from day to day that we just get zapped and sapped from strength. The Holy Spirit has come alongside to help us in more than just spiritual ways. He's come along to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually the complete and total person. And so I'm thankful for that. So open your Bibles up and let's go to the book of Psalm chapter 92 and our text scripture that we've been using Psalm 92. Verse number 10 is where we are there. And hopefully you've got this one in your spirit already, but I want you to read it out loud with me. Will you do that? Thank you for those three people that are going to read. So all the rest of you I am commanding you to read now. Ready? But my horn shall be thou exalted like the horn of a unicorn. I shall be, oh Lord Jesus. You know I just saw myself taking you all into battle with me and I just see people scattered all over the battlefield running for their lives. Can you please read this out loud with strength? I know that you are tired. You've worked all day. Some of you have slept all day because you're retired. But I want you to open your voice up and read it aloud. Amen? Here we go. Everybody ready? But my horn shall thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn. I, come on say that again. I, one more time. I, now it's getting out. I'm not fearful running into battle with you. Amen. I was afraid to give you all a weapon because I might get shot. But now I think we mobilize here. Amen. I want you to flip over with me to the book of Ephesians chapter number three and I want you to look down in one verse of Scripture. Uh, actually we're going to back up a little bit. I want to look at a couple, a few passages right here. Ephesians chapter three, look at verse 16. Follow this, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. That Christ, now remember when you see the word Christ or the name Christ, uh, you could insert there the anointed one or the anointing. So if we were reading it in that frame, that anointing may dwell in your hearts by faith that you be rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth and the link and the depth and the height. Verse 19 is where I want to zero. And to know the love of Christ, the love of the anointing, which passeth knowledge, here it is, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. And if you read on to the next statement, unaware of what I was going to use as this text as well here tonight, Ben started quoting it, now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all, pardon me, pardon me, that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us, the literal translation of what he said a few moments ago, that we can ever ask, think, or imagine. So being, so just think with me for a moment, that the God of heaven, the Christ man wants to fill you with all of the fullness of God. Consider the fact that Christ Jesus is the expressed image of the Godhead bodily and in him was the fullness of the totality of the power of God in one man. And yet God had to reduce him to a seed to be implanted by the Holy Spirit into the virgin womb of Mary. For he, Mary's body could not contain the totality, completeness, and fullness of the Godhead inside of her own physical body. Christ had all of the power, Jesus had all of the power, all of the manifest power of God dwelt in him bodily. When he went back to the Father, he prayed that his Christ, he prayed the Father that his Christ, his anointing would come and dwell continually in the hearts and lives of those people. That's not a secondary Christ or a lesser Christ. It is the same spirit that raised up the three day dead body of Jesus dwells in you and in me. Now, why am I wanting you to get at this? Because there is no way whatever you think that you have in the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you and power. It is impossible. That's the reason why the Scripture says just up above that we may comprehend with all the saints. What? The breath, the length, the depth, and the height. In other words, the magnitude of God. And yet the prayer of the Apostle Paul is that all of that could somehow come and fill us with the fullness of the Almighty which is an impossibility in and of itself. That's the reason why you and I now I'm free flying right now. That's the reason you and I our once we once the rapture takes place, we will no longer because we cannot contain the fullness of the Godhead inside of these particular vessels. This is a vessel of clay. This is the human body cannot contain the fullness of God. Therefore, First Corinthians, we shall be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. This corruptible shall put on eat corruption. This mortal shall put on immortality. And what happens? We are totally filled. So this process and this this walk with God in the fullness of the Spirit while we're here right now. I have to safely say, he whatever fullness that we have experienced in our life, has anybody ever experienced the fullness of the power of God, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the overflowing power of God? Okay, if you haven't, then you need to seek because you'll never know the depths, the height, the breadth or any of God unless you first seek first the Kingdom of God. Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness, they shall be filled. How how how full? Well, what's full to you may not be full to somebody else. I was thinking about it this afternoon. Some folks can sit down at a Thanksgiving buffet and they only get a little bit of this and a little bit of that and then you go and oh I'm so full and then there are those of us who will eat the full meal and about two hours later we're making a turkey sandwich. Come on somebody. If I got any help in this building whatsoever, call me whatever you want to call me. Another word, somehow somehow I wasn't yet satisfied on the first one or I somehow expended that energy and burned that up pretty quick. I need more. Y'all just sit there. I'm coming at you. You're going to be slow tonight but I'm going to get you there. He said the prayer this is not on your paper so I'm just I'm I'm just giving you a little something some freshness. He said I want you to be filled with the fullness of God which is the ultimate purpose of God inside of our lives. Meaning according to Colossians two and ten you are complete in him in Christ so we're not it's not that we're not full of the Spirit but living an empty or a or a full of self life will always be disappointing and dangerous because if the Spirit of God does not continually fill us then the Spirit of disobedience the Bible says goes to work and we fall into sin. Did you hear what it just said? The Spirit of disobedience. In other words it it wasn't it wasn't some blatant sin that kept the the that we might call or classify number five sin number seven sin that kept the children of Israel out of the Promised Land. Let me tell you what it was disobedience. They simply did not believe God and take him at his word. What happened the garden? They failed in the garden and sin came in because of disobedience. They rebelled against the Word of God. They simply did not believe God and take him at his word. So what what is necessary is for us to hunger and thirst to continually be filled. I ask the Lord for that refilling before I ever hit put my feet on the floor this morning because to be strengthened on the inner man that we've just read to you about is to have the Spirit of God filling up your life and giving you the God's energy God's power in your life that will manifest itself watch this in your in your motives in your desires in your feelings in your thoughts in your purpose when we say Holy Spirit take control of my life when we say fill me or or or make me full we're saying take control more control of my life anybody ever had your attitude take control of your life you just sit there because all I didn't even see this is this is the deal if I ask for a man and you don't say a man then okay but if I don't ask for a man and you sit there quiet you're guilty and you know what we're all guilty of attitudes taking over more than the Holy Spirit how many times have we run over the Holy Spirit when he was saying stop be quiet be still don't say that and this is not a Chinese proverb this is a this is a joeyism he who talks much larger foot is inserted in mouth anybody know what I'm talking about anybody ever been hung by the tongue before but here is Paul praying for us here's the Holy Spirit saying let me have more of you and I will I will work through you the manifestation of the Christ in every part of your life your motives your attitude see we don't see motives so we we discount them but it is one of the five things the bible says that we will give an account before god for every motive go look it up we will stand before god for every motive the hidden intents of our heart I'm gonna help you day here in a minute just so god's presence through the Holy Spirit should be filling us and saturating us continually in our lives and the more we get to know the Christ on the inside of us and for me he's taken over then that fullness means watch this the fullness means that there is nothing lacking in our relationship between us and god there's nothing that I need of him the lord is my shepherd I shall not want what is it that what is it that pulls us away to make other decisions or maybe even attracts us by temptation or whatever there may be it is something that we feel like that we are lacking between us and god thus the need for the fullness of god because if there is some this this this was the thing the lord hit me with this afternoon even he said there's the fullness and there's the satisfaction look here this this one right here I don't know who drank out of that but that's I'm glad you did it's my illustration the the bottle is satisfied because it has water in it but it is not full of the water and we find I feel like preaching right now we find too many times that too many people calling themselves spirit filled are satisfied with what they've got because it cost them too much to be full they've got enough of the spirit to still have a little bit of the control but not enough to have to throw their hands up and say lord I don't know what to do help me holy spirit are y'all with me out there now I want all of you to know here that this teaching is not for anybody in this room this is for the people that are online watching that are the heathen center people backslidden carnal christians but all of you please adjust your halo at this time and what does he what does he constitute it in this prayer right here then I'm going to give you something to write down because some of your nervous what does he constitute it on he said that you may know that you may know comprehend that you may know verse nineteen the love of christ and there's so much in here the love of christ that you may comprehend that you may know that you may have relationship with the love of christ now if the holy spirit is represented by the water inside of the bottle and we're not full of the holy spirit then there's something that's going to take that place because in a vacuum whatever that it is there will whatever it is will be full in a vacuum so there's a vacuum in this glass left there's room left in here but it's not empty there's air in there so it's filling the empty space or what's the problem it's there in that empty space that void that the enemy plays you to tell you things like this god don't love you those people don't love you you might as well quit you're no good you'll never amount to anything why do you keep doing this why are you praying god doesn't answer your prayer he plays on he plays on the lack of the christ relationship in love now he uses love here in this prayer as the key element for us to be able to have relationship with the lord can i comprehend how do i comprehend the love of christ since it is far beyond my ability to know the breath the height the length the breath all of that it's so far out of my mind how can i know that the holy spirit the christ on the inside of me if if i'm full there's no place for the enemy to insert hate or even my own will i am so full of the holy spirit that he's reminding me constantly the lord loves you the lord needs you are you here are you getting what i'm saying let me make it plain for you three o'clock monday morning i wake up and i go straight into battle in warfare right between my ears me god and the devil and all of this is coming attacking things that are taking place he's shooting the arrows and you know that holy spirit knows that i'm only halfway awake at that point aren't you glad you got a helper come on somebody and you know what he starts doing he starts bringing all things back man oh man come on he comes bringing all things back to my remembrance that i've studied learn in fact one of the key things that happens for me is he'll start inserting songs in there so in my spirit not out loud so i wake up my spouse i start singing in my mind these songs it's your breath just from Sunday it's your breath in my lungs pour out your praise and the more i worship in the spirit right there and the more those scriptures in between songs the lord's just giving me this grace anybody ever had that happen to you before let me tell you what is the lord doing in the middle of the night well what is that three o'clock all about it's the time when jesus stepped out on the boat at three o'clock in the morning and the fourth watch of the night and he said peace be still that's when the attack is going to come that's when the enemy is going to try to shoot darts into your mind but if your spirit is full there's already an answer before he ever comes y'all all right out there just flip over here real quick and we'll give you this scripture and you need these scriptures in your spirit right here in Ephesians 1 verse 19 here's what the bible says down through 23 and then we're going to give you something to write praise his name this is just some this is just some residual from from what the lord is dealing with here that today just got stirred in my spirit Ephesians 1 verse 19 says this and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe according to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in christ in the anointing when he raised him up from the dead and set him at his own right hand in heavenly places far above principalities and powers and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in this world but also in that which is to come my god you're to circle 21 you hear me and have put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church look at verse 23 which is his body what about it the fullness of him that filleth all in all what is he saying he's saying right here that his body is going to be full of his spirit his christ and the confirmation in your spirit that god himself through the manifestation of jesus christ through through the moving of the christ the holy spirit on the inside of you is going to give you the assurance day by day that god now verse 21 tells you god has got everything under control i can assure you there is nothing that is wiggling out from underneath god's big toe that's going to attack you and get victory he puts all things under his feet and he gives us the fullness his body the body of christ he gives us the fullness so that we can have an assurance that everything is taken care of look what he says all he filleth all in all what happened on the day of pentecost it was fully come they were all in one mind one accord suddenly there came a sound from heaven like it's of a rushing mighty wind and it come on and it filled it filled what it filled all the house where they were sitting in clothing tongues of fire set upon them they were all filled with the baptism and holy spirit what is he saying there wasn't one inch of that upper room that didn't have the power and the presence and the manifestation of the christ that was manifesting inside of that room thing empty everything in the room got filled that day my god if you were going to get a chair you were to get an anointed chair that came from the upper room because it got filled on that day too are you hearing me this is why i'm saying to you that the fullness of christ is a key to to your walk with the lord in the hour that we're in because whatever you fill the vessel with is what's going to come out and it has the power to depress you or the fullness of the spirit is always going to be there to encourage you and love joy peace all of that kind of thing are you hearing what i'm saying and doesn't mean you won't fight but you're fighting the good fight of faith remember the battle has already been won we're not talking about me having to fight the devil or fight my sin if you're fighting with sin you're fighting the wrong thing Jesus already nailed your sins in mind to the cross it is finished what is our fight it is to keep our faith at the cross because it's the only thing the holy spirit is going to endorse but if we keep our faith in the cross whatever the enemy throws at us the holy spirit steps in and said i got this what is the fight that's going on paul tells us clearly it's the good fight of faith so what's the key to winning that fight is the fullness of the holy spirit that gives me strength to remain in faith where i need to be so i can get all the help that i need my god i feel like running right now so here's three things that are not on your paper that you can use as a practical experience of the fullness of God write these down real quick first of all is to be humble to be humble is to be empty just write empty beside humble what does that mean if you want to fill a cup up with the fullness of God it necessitates that you get empty first he will empty you before he fills you secondly be diligent that is seeking seeking the Lord Hebrews tells us that without faith it's impossible to please him they that come to him must believe that he is and that he's a rewarder of them that diligently seek him you're not going to get anything if you don't seek the Lord in this hour stop seeking for the stuff and start seeking the Lord if you seek the Lord you'll get the stuff that you need come on somebody and sometimes that has nothing to do with material things sometimes i just need some peace up in here Jesus sometimes i just need an extra dose of joy today come on like a b12 shot i'm going to give me a joy shot i need something that's i need you hold it you know what i need before i even need it so i'm just going to seek you and whatever it is you need to put in me today to face what i've got to have today then just fill me up with everything that i have need of tomorrow i don't know what tomorrow is going to bring i'll seek you before i get there but today i need what you need give me this day our daily bread third thing is is obedience being humble being diligent and being obedient because once the Lord says once the Lord says to you by the confirmation of the spirit on the inside do this or do that now you've got to be obedient to that and step out in faith right come on and what is he going to ask us to do he's going to ask you to forgive the person that hurt you that was a stinger missile wasn't it he's going to ask you to do the things that you didn't want to do before that are like him yeah but pastor you don't understand i'm going to tell you don't talk to me please tell the holy spirit holy spirit you just don't understand it's like people that that say you know i don't know i'm thinking about paying my ties i might not i'm going to see you i'm going to wait around to find out one person came to a preacher one time said you know pastor i just want to let you know that i have decided that i'm not going to pay ties he said okay he said will you kneel with me right here so they knelt down together he said i want you to pray this prayer right here after me and and repeat after me dear lord jesus dear lord jesus i've decided to rob you i've decided to wait wait pastor wait now come on now i had a couple walk up to me after sunday morning service who were paying their ties before they ever started coming to this church here i had no idea the testimony was pastor i not only have an interview but i feel like i've got this job that's coming my way that's going to give me a 30 000 a year increase and i'm not even going to have to leave town to see it i asked this question are you paying your ties he said we were paying our ties here before we ever started coming to this church i said it's a direct connect please let me connect the dots for you the lord saw your faithfulness and he said i can trust them so i can give them more than what they ever thought they could imagine think or imagine now somebody in this room is saying well bless god i wish that happened to me that never happens to me i mean i've been playing the lottery for years and i've never hit anything you keep playing that lottery and burn your money down and then blame god because you don't have anything because my friends let me just say to you they're not able to give 10 million dollars in the lottery earnings because everybody won if that was true then your casinos would be in a shack on the side of the road they're not they're the biggest the brightest lights all that kind of stuff going on because they win it's the world's way god's way said prove me here with and see when you give your tithe into the storehouse well pastor i feel like my tithe or to go over here to them then call them when you get sick what does that have to do with the fullness of god it has everything to do with it because if you don't obey the lord if you don't obey the lord in the small what's maybe considered small to us how can he give you more let me let me let me take a closer scripture for that obedience the bible says is better than sacrifice you know that literally translates to be it would be better for you to obey than to come in here and lift your hands up and fake worship to him when you know you haven't done the word of god he says your worship is not accepted until you obey me so the three things are humble yourself empty yourself be diligent seeking after the lord and your obedience and in that my friends when you ask the lord to feel you then he will feel you hey here's a bulletin you don't have to be in church for that fullness to take place how many have you been driving down the road before and suddenly the spirit of the lord just came in and you went man that's what i needed right there so let's take another step here tonight see if we can finish this 82 part lesson have you got me back there guys i'm clicking but i ain't moving behold there it is so let's look at this real quick because because in Ephesians 4 verse 22 he wants us to be renewed in our mind now why is this important because the fresh anointing where does the fresh anointing come first comes upon your head covering your mind flows down as the bible says in psalm 133 from Aaron's head down to his beard even to his skirts for there the lord commanded the blessing even life forever more renewing of our mind is what it takes for a fresh anointing inside of our life and how does that come about what it comes about through prayer a fresh anointing comes through prayer i don't like to pray well you'll pray you'll pray uh there's a tropical storm out there right now that's swirling for the first one and we haven't even hit the first day of hurricane season you let that thing get 50 miles offshore and there'll be heathens that will be praying come on somebody you'll pray the thing you don't want to do is be a crisis prayer you want to be a relational prayer that says lord i want to focus on my relationship with you so every day i come before you and i'm seeking your face in prayer prayer will draw the anointing into your life it's the replenishing through prayer talking to god secondly the word of god refocusing your faith in christ and him crucified the word when i read the word of god when i study the word of god and it's not how much you consume that does it it's what you digest you can eat a whole loaf of bread in one sitting but it will give you a belly ache what do i need to do sometimes it's just one word i shall be anointed with fresh oil i shall be anointed with fresh oil that thing got in my wife's spirit she went home a couple of weeks ago and typed out on the computer i shall be anointed with fresh oil and duplicated it on a piece of paper and she's cutting it out and putting it up everywhere she can see it because i need an anointing at my home and i needed anointing at my work and i need an anointing in the car and i need an anointing come on some how many of you know some people need anointing in the car come on how many of you drove here tonight how many of you know there's some folk that need some anointing in their car amen you need a fresh anointing every day i shall be anointed with fresh oil that reminder of that word is going to keep you connected to christ and faith right thirdly the presence of god refocusing on worship is the renewal of my spirit the refreshing the fresh oil that comes when i worship don't let all of your worship be in this building it's good that we get together corporately and that's what's supposed to happen and you should be in a place where you walk in the door and you're ready to praise god you prepared your heart before you walk in the door and if you don't let me just say this to you as a pastoral thing right now uh don't wait till you get here to prepare your heart 30 minutes later while you're still praying to get your mind right so you can focus on what's going on the worship the the music portion the worship portion is over and you're standing there wondering what happened saturday night instead of staying up all night watching something stupid on television get your mind right get prepared to enter into the house of god get let listen stop the frustration get your granimal tags and lay out your clothes for your kids and everything tonight before come on i do i mean it soon as my wife gets my clothes laid out out there i'm just telling you i'm ready to go what's the point too many times we don't prepare for the presence and if you're not prepared for the presence the presence will go right past you and you won't even know it and that fresh anointing that you need has just passed you by because you weren't prepared to receive so go to prayer go in the word of god get your mind cleaned out on a saturday night and then when you walk through the doors of this assembly you're ready to enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise be thankful and bless his name for the lord is good right nobody has to pump you up it won't even make any difference what songs they sing you're ready to worship the lord i'm lifting up my hands in the sanctuary behold i'll dance before god i'll worship him because why because there's a fresh anointing that's going to come in your worship right the presence of god and then the power of god will follow the follow the presence the power of god always follows the presence of god he will never leave you powerless he will increase power to the faint the bible says are you with me what does that mean it means refocusing on a holy spirit renewal don't think because you got baptized in the holy ghost and you spake in tongues in 1973 that you got all that you need you need a fresh anointing today and the holy spirit is waiting to fill you full not fill you and leave some empty for you to control fill you full right i don't know what's going to happen this next week i don't know what's going to happen between now and sunday but the holy ghost does you understand what i'm saying he will lead you and guide you into all the truth the bible says one of his one of his duties one of the three duties of the holy spirit in preparing the bride of christ for the coming of jesus christ and for the groom is he will show us things to come well how can he show us things that come if he don't have the if he doesn't have the knowledge of that well he has the knowledge of it because he's god come on he knows the mind of god so he knows what's going to happen in your life three days from now he knows what you're going to need three days from now so lord renew me in the spirit of god that's the reason why getting together like this on wednesday night and sundays and any other time bible classes whatever that it may be you're you're adding you're building up your faith you're building up your life and then what always happens whenever the holy spirit renews is that he sets you in motion on purpose you understand what i'm saying by that let me make it plain for you what good is going to school and getting a degree in underwater basket weaving and then you never use it right what good is all this power if there's never a draw on it are you hearing what i'm saying so so he's going to put you in a place once he fills you full he's going to put you in a place where there are some thirsty people and somewhere between sunday and now somebody got thirsty enough to come up here and drink the water and therefore i will not drink after another lest i be contaminated and die i'm just telling you that if you bring cold water somebody's going to be waiting and and if you'll pray god will set you in the place that he wants you to be at the right time with the right people and once you open up your conversation take the lid off break the vessel and you start pouring it out you start pouring it out they may drink it all in that one location the lord may let you go to somebody else and pour out a little bit more over here i'm going to tell you when when when uh when we had the farm out here as a small boy uh i couldn't drive the tractor because the one time that i did i ran it in the fence and just raked it clean and dad wouldn't let me drive the tractor so so my job was to water the tomato plants and there were hundreds of tomato plants now daddy didn't want you going over there and putting a sprinkler on because it messed up the leaves and all that kind of stuff so my job an empty number 10 can fill with water and a little cup and my job because i was closest to the ground i had to take that and water every one of them plants out there in that field we didn't have a hose that we could drag out there i had to go back to the well get some more water literally they didn't have my grandparents didn't have water inside of the house there was a pump in there but but there wasn't normal water in spigot there's a well out there and it tasted nasty so i was glad to give it to the tomato plants but uh my job was to do that sometimes you're not pouring it all out there's another plant waiting on you and if you oh god i love it when the Lord does this if you give a cup of cold water in the name of the Lord don't worry about trying to convert them just give them the cup of cold water when they get thirsty again they're going to know where to come back to come on preach pastor i think i will so let's go a little deeper here tonight because the fullness of the holy spirit means this it means not let me wait wait wait before i open that uh let me just tell you this right here is the crux of what this series to me has been all about and bringing it to you because when i started thinking about the fullness of god and the fact that we're not getting like a secondary holy ghost or secondary christ or we're not getting like a lot of people say the fruits of the spirit he's not multiple he's a collection he's the cluster bomb coming at you all at one time meaning that he's not going to work on you in just love love love love he's going to bring some joy and all of it comes at the same time so if we are full then this was my thinking to bring this to you if then we are full of the holy spirit then whatever the holy spirit is whatever he brings to us which is the character and the nature of christ working in us the attitude all of that then he brings it in his fullness so that means if i am full with the holy ghost or i have need of a refilling to be full then that means everything the holy spirit is should bring fullness of that into my life let me help you we should be joyful full of joy the bible says what is the bible saying to us there in psalm 16 and 11 psalm 16 and 11 that will show me the path of life in thy presence is fullness of joy and out there right hand there's pleasure forever more if i can get in the presence of god and his fullness comes in then i will be joyful i will not ever leave the presence of god without being full of joy if i've allowed him to take control of my life now why is that so important the time we're living in right now because i was just reading some articles just today about how the depression is taking over the lives of people and i submit to you i understand that there may be times of of chemical issues and maybe in situations where there's great grief but let me tell you something the lord never intends for you to stay in that position not when you have the holy spirit who is the fullness of joy now what is that that the devil's trying to do i don't want to go to church i'm just going to stay home i'm going to stay away from people all that kind of what is he trying to do he's trying to isolate you from what from the presence of god because the devil knows that in the presence of god is the fullness of my joy and if i can ever get there if i can move the distractions if i can shut off everything else and get in the presence of god i will not leave disappointed or depressed i cannot be angry with my friends and praise god so something's going to have to empty in my vessel so that joy full can come in are you all with me right here i think you're tracking with me now so get this right here not only that but if the holy spirit comes in we should be full of faith this is not something that we get as a as a secondary gift the holy spirit came in and he brought faith with him we are faithful faithfulness is the remedy of unfaithfulness or weakness or no endearing endurance or fear faith and fear cannot exist in the same location so we've had a lot of people over the past several years that have been caught up in this fear thing and the next thing you know they they've let their faith slide well what happened somehow they did not come back and fill up the rest of the bottle they still wanted to control it and there are people that are still controlling and let me just say this to you the holy spirit will let you control he's not going to fight you the bible said he will not always strive with men so the last thing you want to do is resist the holy spirit or grieve the holy spirit he's reading your email your text he hears every telephone call he knows your conversation what's coming out of your mouth from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks are you speaking faith for whatever you're full of that's what you speak i think i'm preaching better than you're saying amen right here Hebrews 10 and 17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god is there a regular dose of the word of god coming into your life because you can't be full of faith unless there's word coming your way and let me just tell you because i know that you eat more than one time a week now there should have been a gigantic amen i know that you eat more than one time a day well not me pastor i'm you can lie to me but you can't lie to god what does that mean that means this you cannot survive in the fullness of the spirit off of one Wednesday night meal a week or one sunday meal a week you need to eat every day come on somebody assures there's a drive in your spirit and guess what it's one of the things that is the the unsatisfied portion of our lives right because we eat 20 minutes later i need something to eat all y'all we heads down i know you right now you should look straight up at me you know what i'm talking about all right i'm just eating a full meal and you know i'm just hungry for something i told her that on monday we we'd eating the meal two hours later i said you know i just got the munchies or something i just went in there started looking let me a little bit of that a little bit of this a little bit of that come on somebody i was so crazy apparently yesterday that after she made the little all grotten potatoes i wasn't paying attention i thought it was chicken and i dipped it in barbecue sauce but it was good i done found a new recipe you know what i'm talking about you got to get hungry for the lord he says if you'll be faithful unto death i'll give you a crown of life is that all right what else is it i'm just giving you a few you need to research these on your own i'm just these are just a few that i brought to you how about being full of gratefulness gratitude i'm grateful are you grateful we're in a society that is not grateful at all they could care less it's all about them it's all about me it's all about whatever but here's what the bible says for the believer who's supposed to be full of the spirit oh i'm full of the spirit i speak in times well are you grateful because if you're not grateful you don't have all the fullness that you need come on say amen somebody because the bible says in 1st Thessalonians 5 18 in everything in everything in every way wait wait wait wait i thought it was just the good stuff no the bad stuff too and that's hard isn't it that's where you need the holy ghost to love somebody right come on because you don't even like them come on i wish you would say amen i wish you'd say amen for somebody sitting beside you know they would say amen but they're not going to so go ahead say amen for them you know what i'm talking about i know you're preaching to my next door neighbor right now go ahead and tell them pastor tell them tell them in everything give thanks in everything give thanks watch this for this is the will of god concerning you in what in what come on in what in the anointing of Jesus concerning you so we talk about the anointing don't we you know it's what's so funny people outside of the church have no clue when you talk about the anointing we got our we got our isms in church don't we we got our we got our cliches we got our colloquial isms we got our little statements that we're going to be anointing and they go what is the anointing i've told you this before when we were pastoring in destiny we had to take up while they were building the building down there we had church inside of the community center for a whole year we had to rent the whole place and and one day i mean we we took it over and built boxes for our equipment all that stuff and curtains and that whole nine yards and and one week somebody forgot to put up the a little anointing oil bottles that we had up there so whenever we got there that next week the head director of the athletic association who runs the whole deal said pastor i need you to come into my office okay sir we need to know what is this in this little bottle right here because if you're doing something illegal you're not going to be able to have church in here anymore i said are you kidding me that's olive oil from walmart well what are you doing are you selling there are you sniffing it what what's going on so when we talk our talk you know the anointing i will i will hope you're understanding what i'm saying here this is the will of god concerning christ in christ in the anointing concerning you so you can't talk about i speak in tongues and i'm full of the holy ghost and you're not grateful you're missing something preach pastor okay so what does he say in verse 19 what does he say in verse 19 this is how you know he's talking about the holy ghost what's verse 19 say quench not the spirit in other words if you're not grateful then you're quenching the spirit and that's not just in service when you feel like it it's at the window when somebody doesn't give you the right order this is rough for Wednesday night isn't it come on let me back up come on let's just let's just pray let's just pray here's one more real quick well i had i think truthful is on your paper truthful is on your paper if you are full of the spirit then you are full of truth yes praise god i've got jesus no i'm not just talking about jesus truth i'm talking about when you speak out of your mouth you speak truth and not a lie the holy ghost will never lie mama didn't like a liar and she had like esp in the holy ghost and then a plug-in switch from my behind when she found out i was lying to her don't look at me like judgmental right now like you didn't never lie to your mom and daddy that rod of correction drove that stuff from me right i can't get no help in here ain't no sympathy nobody grateful for that but the bible says that we're supposed to be full of truth i can tell you this friends if you're not full of truth then you're a setup for deception truthfulness is the remedy against deception so that means i don't just sit down and watch abc and believe everything they say i don't just sit down with the media because they've lied to me so much i'm not going to believe everything they say are you hearing what i'm saying i mean one time several years ago i can't even remember what the the media company was but they were on there talking about how these bombs were going off and they were showing pictures of bombs and and tanks being blown up all this kind of stuff going on until somebody actually researched it and found out that that was a place in kentucky it wasn't even overseas it was in kentucky where they were doing ordinances on these tanks and stuff that was footage that was not even from over there but if you just saw it you would think that it was friends this is not a time for you jesus said in the last days the number one thing he told his disciples do not be deceived the only remedy for deception is truth not your truth not my truth the truth of the word of god and if i don't read this book then the holy spirit can't reveal truth to me then there is then there is peaceful this one i had to add in here because the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness peace i submit to you tonight that that we would be full of peace why do we need the fullness of the holy spirit for this one portion of the fruit of the spirit alone as a matter of fact everything of the fruit of the spirit actually connects itself in one way or another everywhere through it with peace you can't have joy without peace you can't be kind without peace are you hearing what i'm saying you can't be patient without peace you can't have love without peace so peace happens to be in the scripture the connecting element for all the rest the peace of god have you got the peace of god well i'd like to say i do well the only way you can have the peace of god is to have peace with god if you got peace with god then peace comes along peace within ourselves peace is the fruit of the spirit bible says we should seek peace and if it is within our power to make peace right sometimes it's not in your power but that doesn't mean peace is not the absence of conflict peace is knowing Jesus is on board the boat and everything's going to be all right have you ever been there before where the the wind and everything else was swirling the storm is on the outside but on the inside now i've heard people say to me well i have peace about a situation well please don't mistake the difference between being led by the spirit and your feelings a lot of people make decisions based out of what they feel is peace i just i just have a i just feel peace about the situation well you better know first of all that it lines up with the word of god before you make that call and it's not wrong to test the spirit there are you hearing me he says to us to try the spirit now we're not talking about you saying to the holy ghost prove something to me you know let let let snow fall out of a 92 degree weather outside in florida okay that's foolishness i'm talking about have and all of these things we've talked to you about already here tonight should build up in your life so that when you say i have peace you're not talking about a feeling you're talking about an assurance that comes from god through the holy spirit that i'm going to take this step and i'll have confidence with the next step that i take whatever that that may be and and and i'm going to tell you just consider the fact that peace peace is peace is the fruit of the spirit but consider the fact the opposite of that what is the opposite of of peace it's it's war it's torment it's chaos so what am i walking into every day you may be walking into a war zone spiritually speak you might be walking into some kind of chaos if you're the carrier of a peaceful spirit here's the question why why do all the rest of the employees want you around anyway because you're the only one who can solve the conflict when everybody's fussing over something you step into the situation hey what's going on right because you bring peace to the situation right you don't add more chaos to it do you come on i promise you i promise you none of the fruit of the spirit is the fruit of chaos if you're full of hate then you don't have the spirit so here's the here's the ingredient that he speaks to us of he says he said love is how this thing is going to manifest itself through you because love overflows from a pure heart love overflows from a good conscience i'm going to tell you there is something to be said about laying your head on a pill i don't care if you bought every one of mike lindell's my pillows dot com if you don't have love in your spirit and can lay down at night with a clear conscience then the best mattress in the world will never satisfy a sleep for you but i can tell you right now i can lay down on the ground and make a rock my pillow if my conscience is clear between god and other people come on now some of you men are not sleeping because you're angry with your wife bible says the lord don't even hear you when you pray if you're angry with your wife you better get that thing right then you'll have some sleep and peace and you won't have to sleep with one eye open wondering is there a baseball bat laying on the other side how did i get myself all the way on this little cord running around my mattress my whole body love overflows from sincere faith when it's genuine you know what genuine faith is you don't you you know what genuine love is there's so much faith that goes on but if you'll just be genuine with it and not not look for backslaps and all that then you're going to find out sometimes you may walk in a situation and in your hand gets slapped or your face gets slapped it's not you it's the christ on the inside of you are you hearing what i'm saying uh song 9210 says i shall be anointed with fresh oil say with me one more time i shall be anointed with fresh oil look at john 10 and 10 the thief comes but for to steal kill and to destroy that's a method that's a scheme that's a while of the devil but jesus said but i have come here's the dichotomy that i have come that you might have life and life more abundantly so the so the fullness you could say in that word abundance he's come to give me the fullness of my life if you're only living a half life then you're not in the fullness of of the life of god but he's saying i've come to give you life and life more abundantly i want you to live an abundant right here right now before you make it to heaven can you imagine that the lord wants you to be full of the life well here's the question who is the life it's the christ he gives me life when the breath of the almighty leaves my body they put my body on a cold slab and put me in a casket and wheel me out but as long as the christ man is living on the inside of me i can have an abundant life and death won't even i won't even taste the sting of death because the fullness of the holy spirit dwells in me are you hearing what i'm saying so lord renew me day by day with fresh oil i want you to anoint me with fresh oil every day thou anoint my head with oil my cup runneth over now i want to conclude here tonight on this lesson and i think i've got one more coming your way next week in this series but i want to i want to bring to you and i wish i had the clip i don't have the clip here but some of you seen it it was on the news last night there's been great debate as a matter of fact tomorrow night i will meet with pastors tomorrow afternoon to talk about a prayer meeting for the iskandia county school system and over the past weeks now and months there has been great controversy that's been going on over there and it was only exacerbated and i'm not trying to get in the political realm of it i want you to see this as a picture and i believe of the spirit of christ that we're talking about here in the fullness of the holy spirit you can go online and hear the hear hear this statement this speech that was made but whenever the school system fired the superintendent in iskandia county of course that left a vacancy and the deputy school superintendent an african-american woman was in that seat and she could have and perhaps rightfully so moved into the interim position to take over the superintendent's position by right but there were there was there was chaos going on and has been and some people may not like me for saying this but i'm i'm bringing it to the illustration here because we saw the display of what it means to humble yourself even though you may rightfully feel like and everybody around you says you deserve this the school board put another individual into that position you could tell i was just listening to the report of how that his anguish was about even taking it because it's it's it's tough right now over there that's the reason why we need to pray for them and we've got administrators that are in this building and teachers they're in this building right now that i want you to know i'm meeting over there with these pastors because we got one goal and that is before the school year we're going to gather you together and we're going to pray for you and believe god that next year you will be anointed every day with fresh oil okay but here's what happened this this woman i don't know i can't i i have to believe that she's a christian filled with the spirit i've never met her i don't know i don't even know what her name is some of you may know her name already but here's the point last night what she could have rightfully taken argued the case the whole bit and more importantly ripped to shreds the county and divided it along racial lines and gender lines opened her mouth and she said i'm going to tell you and i'm not saying it in the words that she put it you go and watch it if you want to i'm going to back down from this position i'm gonna she's saying effectively i'm gonna humble myself and i'm gonna step out away from it for the sake of the children and the unity of our district oh what a breath of fresh air came in the building that doesn't mean that everything was done right all the all that kind of stuff but what she did was look beyond her own personal self now that's the reason why i have to believe there must be the spirit of god living on the inside because nobody does that do you hear what i'm saying i mean when was the last time that you know somebody gave the position to someone else and backed away from it on purpose it's it's a fuss a fight i mean are you kidding me what do we got right now in in in presidential candidates in the republican party like 82 i don't know i think my dog got into the race this past week and i don't even have a dog come on somebody so everybody's vying and for this woman this precious woman who we will pray for just like we will the the interim superintendent all of the school system there and we're going to do it right here in center osa county and paces him he's going to lead the way because ladies and gentlemen this spirit that came into that room took all the argument out of the room and the peacemaker stepped into the room and made peace for the sake of the children and interestingly enough nobody talked about the children until she did we've gotten our minds way off we're not focused on what's supposed to be going on here it's about the children when i go over there and speak to that daycare and all those teachers over there i remind them every year it's about the kids not you why don't we do what we're doing right here because it's not about me not about you you're how many of you are saved let me see your hand okay if you're not saved give your life to jesus christ tonight but let me tell you if you're born again you and i owe this world the gospel we owe this world a seat in this room we owe the center a seat in this room did you hear what i said they're owed that they're owed the gospel we're already saved you can't get like saved her you either is or you ain't right so what's the highest calling upon our life is not for us to get more of god or have another revival i spoke to i spoke to someone that i'm planning uh for an extended services at the beginning of the year if we get there and i want them to come in and preach and they're going to do that but i'm just going to tell you it's not about us just doing cpr on the saints it's about winning another soul to put as a jewel in the crown of the savior and when it's all said and done ladies and gentlemen that's what the Lord is looking for and for us to act in a way in the public eye man what a refreshing i i'm going to write her a letter i haven't done it yet to thank her for stepping into that place and saying you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna look at the big picture man i i'm just telling you i feel the anointing just saying what i'm saying to you right now because that's christ right there i said that's christ right there it's all about it's all about jesus said i didn't come for myself i came for others right i want to admonish you now as your pastor to stay full every day with the spirit will you do that will you seek to be full of the spirit remember it means taking him taking complete control i've been praying that for myself because at any moment we can go off and be joey i told you sunday i'm superman in my suit but when i come out of that it ain't good i don't need to i don't need to come out of it i need to stay full of the spirit i never know what i'm going to have to deal with you don't either so let us be a church let us be a church not to say more lord give me more to consume it upon myself more lord for you to take more control of my life and and by the way lord i'll be back tomorrow for another drink can you say amen to that father i thank you for the word of god tonight that's made us strong in you and in the power of your mind i pray that you would seal this word right now in the hearts and lives of people both here and those that are watching online and maybe walk in that word lord to be pleasing to you in jesus mighty name everybody believes it says a good amen god bless you tonight stand to your feet with you and i want you to reach across the aisle and if you're full of love and full of the spirit surely you won't walk past people shake their hand hug their neck let them know how much you love them right now amen go thank you for watching all of you that are online may god bless you will look to see you this coming weekend it's going to be a great time right here for lord terries we'll see you then
