1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,880 Thank you for listening to this message from Life House Church. 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Good morning. 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,160 Good morning. 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,600 Hey, it is good to be in the house of Lord to worship together. 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,600 I heard the worship. 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,180 I heard the voices coming, you know, and while I was up there praising them, the Lord reminded 7 00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:29,180 me of something. 8 00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:30,600 I don't know if you realize this or not. 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:37,200 Sometimes we come into church, we look around, we see 100, 150 people here, and we forget 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,720 how large the kingdom of God is. 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,000 God was reminding me that there'll be millions, maybe billions of people around the globe 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,640 meeting and worshiping him. 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800 I don't know if you know this or not, but if you're saved, you know Jesus Lord and Savior. 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,280 You're part of the biggest organization on the face of the planet, right? 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,160 And if we could get us all together, it will blow our minds how big it is, the kingdom, 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,100 and then I can't even imagine one day when we walk into heaven, right? 17 00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,040 From all of time, the billions of people. 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,040 So as I heard your voices just coming in one accord, I was just kind of reminded, and the 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,040 Lord's like, yep. 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,620 And I'm like, man, it's awesome. 21 00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:11,620 It's awesome, right? 22 00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:13,420 All over the globe, people are worshiping today. 23 00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:14,920 So good, so good. 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,640 Well, listen, we're in the third message of Loud and Clear, this series that we began 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,860 several weeks ago, and I hope that your ears have got spiritually attuned to what's taking 26 00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:29,920 place in the spiritual and in the heavenly realm. 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,080 And we're looking forward. 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,560 I got one more week I want to preach on this after this week, and hopefully it's fed your 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,560 spirit and opened your ears both. 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,480 But I want to pray before we go into God's word and pray over his word one more time. 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,160 Lord, we thank you for this day. 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,580 God asked Lord that your word would go forth and God that would go into our spirit, into 33 00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:48,580 our hearts and minds. 34 00:01:48,580 --> 00:01:51,680 And Lord, God, your word never returns void. 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,720 The word of God says that. 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,240 So Lord, I pray that it accomplishes the work that is set out to do this morning in hearts 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,240 and lives. 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,200 God, here in the house, God, those that are listening online, at East Shore, God, in all 39 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,080 those places, God, that this would take place and we give you glory in Jesus' name. 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,080 Everybody say it together. 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,080 Amen. 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,080 Amen. 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,080 That's a good amen. 44 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,640 Well, listen, here's been the big idea of this, really this message series from the 45 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:19,940 very beginning, and it is this, that hearing God is a matter of spiritually positioning 46 00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:22,500 ourselves to hear from God. 47 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:28,400 It's not some kind of spiritual voodoo, some kind of special whatever. 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,760 It's really about positioning ourselves. 49 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,840 And as we've gone along in this series, we've talked about God speak to those who are his, 50 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,840 right? 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960 Those who are born again, those who call him by name. 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,780 He speaks on the regular to those who call him Lord and Savior. 53 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:47,000 We also learned that he will only speak according to his will. 54 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120 He doesn't speak outside of his purpose, outside of his will. 55 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,400 If you hear something from God and it is truly from God, it is going to line up with scripture, 56 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,760 it is going to line up with his will, it is going to line up with his purpose, right? 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,000 And we also learned last week that when we come and we want to hear from God, we got 58 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,760 to come in a humble sheep-like manner, right? 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Say baa. 60 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,760 Baa. 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,760 No, right. 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Come on. 63 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,360 We got to come in a humble sheep-like manner and that he's the good shepherd and the sheep, 64 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,000 hear him, right, when he calls us by name. 65 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,640 It's in the Word of God. 66 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,480 And that he's given us a living proof and that is the Holy Spirit. 67 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520 He has come to reside inside of each believer. 68 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,140 We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. 69 00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:38,760 God sent the Holy Spirit to come and to speak to us and he is not a silent partner. 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,600 When you got saved and the Holy Spirit came to reside in you, he is not a silent partner. 71 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:50,120 He came, he wants to baptize you in his presence so that you hear him more and more and more, 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,120 right? 73 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,920 But there's even more to positioning ourselves to hear God. 74 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,920 We're not done yet. 75 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,920 Say we're not done yet. 76 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Tell somebody. 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Come on. 78 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:00,920 We're not done yet. 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,880 We can talk, you know, we cannot talk about hearing God and not talk about prayer. 80 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Not talk about prayer. 81 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,160 We got to talk about prayer. 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,160 And I can say this with great confidence that we will not hear God on the regular if we 83 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,160 are not praying on the regular. 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,280 We're not going to hear God on the regular if we're not praying on the regular. 85 00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,120 I'm not hearing God on the regular. 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,200 I'm going to say it a third time unless I'm praying on the regular and I won't hear God 87 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,080 on the regular if I don't want, say want, right? 88 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,260 I don't want to pray on the regular. 89 00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:38,400 What do I mean by that little change in that statement? 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400 What am I trying to say with all that? 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,080 We don't do what we don't want to do. 92 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,080 Right? 93 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Amen. 94 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,080 Come on, just say it. 95 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,080 You know it's true, right? 96 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,580 We don't do what we don't want to do. 97 00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:53,400 We don't do what we're supposed to do the way we're supposed to do it. 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,920 If I don't want to do it in the first place, we don't. 99 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,920 If I don't really want to do it in the first place, as soon as someone's not looking, I'm 100 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,720 not going to do it. 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,040 If someone forces me to do what I don't want to do, right? 102 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,840 I'll actually rebel against that. 103 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,920 You might even fight against that and not do what I'm supposed to do. 104 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,280 And what am I saying? 105 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,360 There's got to be a want to in prayer. 106 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,580 There has to be a want to. 107 00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:21,880 There has to be a want to in seeking God and searching God out. 108 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,480 There's got to be a desire to communicate with Him. 109 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640 And it's true about anything that you're doing. 110 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,760 You don't do what you don't really want to do, right? 111 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,080 If you don't really want to go to the gym, you won't, even if you've got a gold card 112 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,080 status, right? 113 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,320 Gym membership. 114 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,640 It's hanging on your mirror in your car collecting dust, right? 115 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,700 And you got the membership, you pay every month, they suck it out of your bank account 116 00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:49,700 every single month. 117 00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,200 And you got gym membership. 118 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,200 Yep. 119 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,200 Right? 120 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,200 When's the last time you've been to the gym? 121 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,200 Can't remember. 122 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,200 Okay. 123 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,200 Right? 124 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,200 Yeah, you know, it does. 125 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,240 If you don't want to go, you won't go. 126 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,880 If you don't want to go to the doctor, come on. 127 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,880 So I'm going to get some amens here. 128 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,680 How many don't want to go to the doctor? 129 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360 If you don't want to go to the doctor, you're not going to go until someone either makes 130 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,780 you and your family or your body forces you to, right? 131 00:06:11,780 --> 00:06:15,880 If you don't want to go to church, we want, we find 1000 and one excuse is not to go to 132 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,880 church. 133 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,880 I could write a book. 134 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,880 I've heard them all. 135 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:19,880 All right. 136 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,880 It's true. 137 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,300 If we don't want to eat well, we sneak junk food every chance we get, right? 138 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,220 It's true. 139 00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:28,140 We do what we want to do. 140 00:06:28,140 --> 00:06:29,520 We really do. 141 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,600 And I know we can know in our head it's good to pray. 142 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480 We can know that it's right. 143 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,800 According to scripture, I can know in my, in my mind that it's beneficial. 144 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:48,160 I know that, that I hear God when I pray, but if I don't really want to pray, guess 145 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,640 what I don't do. 146 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,160 I won't what I won't pray. 147 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,160 I won't. 148 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200 I was keeping it real this morning, right? 149 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Just keeping it real. 150 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:02,040 I was preaching pie in the sky and the apostle Paul knows what I'm talking about in Romans 151 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,040 chapter seven. 152 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,040 If you got your Bible's head to Romans chapter seven, I'm going to start out verse 13. 153 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,040 Paul was really talking about the law. 154 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,580 He's talking about the rules. 155 00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:15,120 He's talking about the good rules that God's laid out, the laws and how they're beneficial. 156 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,760 But he says this, I know I should do it, but I don't really do it. 157 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,820 And he says it in a really unique way. 158 00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:23,400 It says this in Romans seven 13. 159 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Has then what is good become death to me? 160 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,360 Certainly not. 161 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,960 But sin that it might appear sin was producing death in me through what is good so that the 162 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,720 sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 163 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,360 Now listen, Paul talks a lot of double talks. 164 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,760 You got to listen closely, right? 165 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720 For we know that the law is spiritual, right? 166 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,000 The law, God's law, his rules are spiritual, but I'm carnal, sold under sin. 167 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,040 For what I'm doing, I do not understand. 168 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,580 For what I will to do, right, what I know in my will, what in my head to do that I do 169 00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:57,800 not practice. 170 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,760 But what I hate that I do. 171 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,920 Even then I do what I will not to do. 172 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,280 I agree with the law that it is good, but now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that 173 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,480 dwells in me. 174 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:16,240 For I know that in me that is in my flesh, nothing good dwells for to will. 175 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,240 That's my head knows, right? 176 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,920 That's back to will again. 177 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,700 Is present with me, but how to perform what is good, I do not find. 178 00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:30,960 For the good that I will to do, I do not do, but the evil I will to do, that I practice. 179 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,880 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in 180 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,880 me. 181 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,440 How many know that's a unique way to say something? 182 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,060 That's a lot of do's, amen? 183 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:44,120 That's a lot of do-do right there, okay? 184 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,440 I know it is good in my heart, but for some reason I just don't do it. 185 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Things like praying, I just don't do it. 186 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:58,640 My flesh, this fleshly side of me, this sinful nature that's in me, stops me from doing what 187 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,400 I know to do in my head is right and what is good. 188 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160 And I know that it's going to be beneficial, right? 189 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:11,000 And it takes want in our prayer life, even though I know it's good to do it, it takes 190 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,180 the want. 191 00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:17,480 And Paul continues with this idea in verse 21, he says, I find then a law that is evil 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,800 is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 193 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,680 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man, but I see another law in 194 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:31,320 my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the 195 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,880 law of sin, which is in my members. 196 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,320 And he even disclares, he says, oh wretched man that I am, right? 197 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,720 This dichotomy that's going on inside of me. 198 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Who will deliver me from this body of death? 199 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Then he answers his own questions, kind of rhetorical. 200 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,040 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 201 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,280 So then with my mind and myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of 202 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,280 sin. 203 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,380 And then he goes into Romans a one and this gets quoted a lot. 204 00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:03,000 There is therefore no condemnation to those who are on Christ Jesus, who do not walk according 205 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,860 to the flesh, but according to the spirit. 206 00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:15,000 For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin 207 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,620 and death. 208 00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:18,560 What is Paul say? 209 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:24,040 We will not pray because there's a rule that says we should pray, right? 210 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,040 No matter how good we know or think the rule is, I will not pray because I just think it's 211 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,280 a good idea to pray. 212 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,360 I will not pray because I know in my head that it's beneficial to pray. 213 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,560 I will not even pray if I think I might even hear from God sometimes when I pray. 214 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:47,840 We pray when our spirit is convinced to pray, not when just my mind or my emotions or my 215 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,800 self will is engaged in it. 216 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680 I pray when my spirit, right? 217 00:10:52,680 --> 00:11:00,080 I want to, the want to in me is activated when my spirit is convinced that it is beneficial 218 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,700 to pray, right? 219 00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:07,000 When the spirit starts to control what is on the inside or in that spirit, man starts 220 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,620 to control what's on the outside and I begin to do what I'm not doing normally, right? 221 00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:15,280 It's not just my head. 222 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,840 It's just not my emotions that convinces me to do something, right? 223 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,840 It really doesn't. 224 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,280 It's my spirit that changes my actions. 225 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,980 People don't change because their spirit doesn't change. 226 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:30,560 We change people's minds all the time, right? 227 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:36,160 If all I needed to do was convince my head to change my actions, education would fix 228 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,160 everything. 229 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,680 We could just go to a class and it would fix everything. 230 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,840 All it took was just, you know, pouring the right information into my head. 231 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,640 How's that working out for us, right? 232 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,520 We're the most educated generation on the face of the planet and we've got problems 233 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,040 in every corner. 234 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,040 Why? 235 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,360 Because it's a spirit thing, right? 236 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,720 We all know in our minds. 237 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,600 We all got the knowledge in our minds that it's bad to eat chips and soda for lunch every 238 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,220 day. 239 00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:09,760 But some of us eat chips and soda for lunch every day. 240 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,760 Why? 241 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,760 Right? 242 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,500 Because your spirit isn't telling you not to eat chips and soda every day, right? 243 00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:22,760 Our prayer life will take off because we won't take off because we've read more scripture. 244 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Now I highly recommend reading all the scripture you can, but it's going to take more than 245 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,240 that. 246 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,240 It's your spirit. 247 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,360 This is a spirit thing. 248 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,440 Your spirit's got to change. 249 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:38,520 You can read in Psalms, David was a man whose spirit, his heart, it says, right, he had 250 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,920 a heart after God. 251 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,960 He was a man after God's own heart. 252 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,960 He's spirit. 253 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,580 We use heart and spirit sometimes interchangeably. 254 00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:48,640 Sometimes I don't know if heart's a good word to use because sometimes we tie heart with 255 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,380 emotion, but he's talking about your spirit. 256 00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:55,440 You can read Psalms 25, one, it says to you, oh Lord, I lift up my soul. 257 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,440 This is David, right? 258 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Oh my God, I trust in you. 259 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Let me not be ashamed. 260 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,120 Let not my enemies triumph over me. 261 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240 Indeed, let no one who waits on you be ashamed. 262 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,720 Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. 263 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,040 Show me your ways. 264 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,460 Oh Lord, teach me your paths. 265 00:13:11,460 --> 00:13:15,240 Lead me in your truth and teach me for you are the God of my salvation. 266 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,600 On you I wait all the day. 267 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,480 His spirit is convinced that God has the, that God is the only one with an answer. 268 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,420 He said, I will wait all day. 269 00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:29,680 This is King David, right? 270 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:35,040 David's head, his heart, his soul, his spirit is convinced that God is the only one that 271 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,040 has the answer. 272 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,920 It is our spirit that convinces us, that convicts us to do something different. 273 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,000 Let me show you another verse that'll prove what I'm talking about here. 274 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,720 Romans 812 says this, therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh to live according 275 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,280 to the flesh for if you live according to the flesh, you will die. 276 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,480 But if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 277 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,840 For as many that are led by the spirit of God, these are the sons of God by whom we 278 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,760 cry out Abba Father. 279 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,640 Now catch this next phrase. 280 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:15,200 The spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. 281 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,100 And if children then heirs and then heirs of God and join heirs with Christ, if indeed 282 00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:22,560 we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together. 283 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,320 The spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. 284 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520 Do you know how you know and realize that you're a child of God? 285 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:37,240 When the Holy Spirit bears witness with your spirit, then you're convinced that you are 286 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,680 a child of God. 287 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,980 The enemy, Satan does not want you to hear from the Holy Spirit. 288 00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:49,160 He's okay if you read and build your intellect to no end. 289 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,760 He's okay if you even come into church, get a little emotional and passionate and I'll 290 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880 probably do that more than anybody. 291 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880 He's okay with that. 292 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,480 But what he does not want you to do, he does not want your spirit getting connected with 293 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,640 the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit will start convincing you of something. 294 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,600 See it's the spirit of God that comes and convinces you that you're a son or a daughter 295 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,760 of the Most High. 296 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280 And that's dangerous for the kingdom of darkness. 297 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,800 Because when you know that you are a son or a daughter of the Most High, you begin to 298 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,620 walk in your authority in the kingdom of God. 299 00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:18,920 You begin to understand. 300 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Your identity begins to wrap up in being a son or a daughter of the Most High and not 301 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,040 in anything else. 302 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,920 And man, you can take down the enemy. 303 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200 Satan has no power over the father. 304 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,360 He has no power of the son. 305 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,680 He has no power of the Holy Spirit. 306 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,320 And he has no power over a child of God who knows who they are and walks in that authority. 307 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,760 He does not. 308 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:45,880 So the word of God tells us that the Holy Spirit, right, speaks into our spirit and 309 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,600 you become convinced. 310 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,480 We use that word heart all the time. 311 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,980 It's not your emotions he's speaking to. 312 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:53,980 It's your spirit. 313 00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:56,240 It is the eternal part of you. 314 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,560 It is that spirit man or woman who's going to go on forever. 315 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,040 And when that happens, when that happens, I won't be able to hold you back from praying 316 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:14,080 when the spirit convinces you that that that you when you pray, when you get convinced 317 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,240 by the Holy Spirit that prayer changes things, I will not be able to hold you back. 318 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800 No one will be able to hold you back from praying. 319 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,120 You'll be like David. 320 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,200 You will talk about it. 321 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,440 You will sing about it. 322 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,440 Right. 323 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280 You will declare it and you will live it. 324 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,600 That's what David did. 325 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,600 If you look in scripture, right, if you want your spirit man or woman to be convinced, 326 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,240 get with the Holy Spirit. 327 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,100 See sometimes we see people who are prayer warriors, you know, and we think, well, man, 328 00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,240 they got some kind of special call in their life. 329 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,400 We're just prayer warriors. 330 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,160 You know, God called them out. 331 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,160 They're separate. 332 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,160 They're different. 333 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,600 Let me tell you what's different with this with a prayer warrior. 334 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,000 A prayer warrior is convinced that God can do something. 335 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,840 They're convinced in their spirit. 336 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Right. 337 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,200 They're they're so convinced it's spooky almost. 338 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,200 It's true. 339 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,200 Right. 340 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,280 You talk to somebody's a prayer where there's they're so convinced that God's going to do 341 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,280 something. 342 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,480 It's almost spooky to talk to them. 343 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,540 They'll just talk it in outside ways left and right. 344 00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:12,640 And they know they know. 345 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,640 Right. 346 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,720 So if you want prayer to skyrocket, what is your spirit listening to? 347 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,120 Because you change when your spirit changes and the Holy Spirit. 348 00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:25,120 Amen. 349 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:26,120 Amen. 350 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:27,120 Come on. 351 00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,120 It's in God's word. 352 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:29,120 One more thing I want to give you about prayer today. 353 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,120 Right. 354 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,120 One more thing I want to give you about prayer. 355 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:37,560 You may not be hearing from God on the regular if we're not meeting at a God spot on the 356 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,560 regular. 357 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,560 OK. 358 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,560 Say spot. 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,560 Good. 360 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,560 You're with me. 361 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,000 I'll never forget hearing a pastor that I highly respect. 362 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,720 Bishop Mitchell told a great man of God. 363 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,880 He's probably I don't know in his 70s now. 364 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,640 And I remember hearing him preach and minister. 365 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,600 And any time I got to hear him, I would just sit and I actually got that I don't know him 366 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,600 personally. 367 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,400 I got to sit and talk with him one time for 15 minutes. 368 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800 I don't know if he wanted to talk to me, but he was all alone in a room. 369 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,800 So I took advantage. 370 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,800 I just I did. 371 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,600 I just laid right in beside him like because when you talk to him, it's like, honey, man, 372 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,520 I was listening to I was like, I got you alone. 373 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,520 I'm just doing it. 374 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,760 So I sat down and he was forced to talk to me because that's what happens when somebody 375 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,600 awkwardly sits right beside you. 376 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,600 Right. 377 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,320 And we got into conversation and it was amazing. 378 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,320 We just spent 15 minutes. 379 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,040 I remember later on that week hearing him preach a message and I was sitting there in the congregation 380 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,840 as he was preaching. 381 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:36,160 And and he said, listen, you need to have a spot where you meet with God in prayer. 382 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,160 And I kind of got a little miffed. 383 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,160 Do you ever get miffed listening to somebody preach? 384 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,160 Right. 385 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,120 I got a little ticked off listening to someone preach. 386 00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:44,400 I got a little miffed in my spirit. 387 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,900 Now, I'd never say it out loud. 388 00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:47,800 And I certainly won't say to him because I highly respect him. 389 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,800 But I got a little miffed. 390 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,320 I thought I don't need a spot to pray. 391 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,320 I pray all the time ish. 392 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,360 OK, right. 393 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,920 I pray all the time and and I don't need a spot to pray. 394 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,640 And I started getting all theological in my mind. 395 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,640 Listen, God's omnipresent. 396 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,640 Right. 397 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,680 I know that to be true. 398 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,800 You know that to be true. 399 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,180 He can be anywhere at any time. 400 00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:12,920 I can pray to God anywhere I am. 401 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,920 Right. 402 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480 And I'm going through all these things because he's kind of he kind of convicted me just 403 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,480 a little bit. 404 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,480 Right. 405 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,480 You need to have a spot. 406 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,160 And then just to insult me just a little bit more in my mind. 407 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,160 Right. 408 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,840 He starts talking about his prayer spot. 409 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,360 He says, I got this place in my house. 410 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,520 He said, I go up to the third level. 411 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,840 And he said, I got a bench there. 412 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,640 He said, that's where I just pray. 413 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,140 That's where I hear the Holy Spirit. 414 00:19:32,140 --> 00:19:33,640 That's where I meet God. 415 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,720 And he starts to describe his bench a little bit that he's got up there. 416 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,080 And he started talking about the finish. 417 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,080 And he started talking. 418 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,760 I think he's talking about a throw or a prayer shawl that he had over. 419 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,760 I don't know. 420 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,400 I kind of tuned out because I was still a little bit miffed. 421 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,400 Right. 422 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,840 And I'm like, I'm going through this thing in my and he describes in great detail. 423 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,400 And you know, this this spot where he comes to pray. 424 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,640 And I'll tell you what, by the time I got done listening to him, I was convinced that 425 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:01,720 he met God there because he started talking about how he met God and in this spot. 426 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,000 And I thought, well, you know, one of us is right. 427 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000 One of us is wrong. 428 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,040 And the reality is that he wasn't he wasn't trying to say he wasn't coming off. 429 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,440 He was saying you don't place you can pray in one spot. 430 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,440 That's not what he was saying. 431 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,480 He was not coming in and saying he's a bright guy. 432 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,880 He was not saying that God's not omnipresent and God can't be everywhere. 433 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,200 He was just saying you need a place to meet with God. 434 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,360 You need a spot to go and pray. 435 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:27,240 You need a place where you get with God and you can hear God and God can hear you. 436 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,400 And the Holy Spirit speaks into your spirit. 437 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,400 And right. 438 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,320 And there's communion that takes place there. 439 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,120 And as I began to look at this, I began to look in in scripture because that's where 440 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,120 we go. 441 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,120 Right. 442 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:44,400 And it's true in the Old Testament, there's this leader named Moses, say Moses, one of 443 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,760 the greatest leaders, if not the greatest leader in the Old Testament. 444 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,760 And when we talk about Moses all the time, right, we always think about the burning bush. 445 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,880 If you know by if you've been to Sunday school or Bible training of any kind, we always talk 446 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,120 about what Moses was this great leader. 447 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,600 He was going to lead the children of Israel out of slavery. 448 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,040 And God meets him in the wilderness on the backside of a desert at a burning bush. 449 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,760 There's this bush burning and it doesn't get consumed, catches his attention in the desert. 450 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,840 So he walks over and God begins to speak to him out of the burning bush. 451 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,840 We preach about it. 452 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,840 We teach about it. 453 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,480 But how many know that was only a one shot deal? 454 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,520 That only happened one time in scripture. 455 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,240 If you read it in scripture, it happened once in one time only. 456 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000 But God met with Moses on a regular basis. 457 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,940 If you go to Exodus 33 and seven, it says Moses took his tent and pitched it outside 458 00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:31,940 the camp. 459 00:21:31,940 --> 00:21:33,640 Israel, they were a nomadic people. 460 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,720 They moved about in tents and they lived in tents and moved from place to place. 461 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,120 He took his tent far from the camp and called it the Tabernacle of Meeting. 462 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,720 A tabernacle, by the way, is a habitation for worship and it's a mobile habitation for 463 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,760 worship. 464 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,920 Your spot can be mobile, by the way. 465 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,960 And it came to pass that everyone who sought the Lord went out to the Tabernacle of Meeting, 466 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,000 which was outside the camp. 467 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,880 So it was whenever Moses went out to the Tabernacle that the people rose and each man stood at 468 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,280 his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the Tabernacle. 469 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,240 And it came to pass when Moses entered the Tabernacle that the pillar of cloud descended 470 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,760 and stood at the door of the Tabernacle and the Lord talked with Moses. 471 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,600 And the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the Tabernacle door and all the people 472 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,020 rose and worshiped each man in his tent. 473 00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:26,960 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend and he would return 474 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,960 to the camp. 475 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,520 But his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the Tabernacle. 476 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,120 The Holy Spirit wasn't dwelling on the earth at that point. 477 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:39,180 He wasn't in every believer's heart. 478 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:44,600 That would take place after Jesus came to earth, died, was crucified, died, rose from 479 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,320 the dead and actually went to the right hand of the Father. 480 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,880 He sent the Holy Spirit back. 481 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,360 But here, Moses would go to a spot. 482 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:59,480 He would go to the Tabernacle of meeting and he would meet and he would hear God. 483 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,240 And I know some of you are going, well, that's Old Testament. 484 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,640 It's different now, right? 485 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,640 The Holy Spirit's here. 486 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,640 You're right. 487 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:10,320 But let's go to the New Testament to the greatest leader of all time, Jesus, because Jesus had 488 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,520 a spot. 489 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,700 He did. 490 00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:17,840 At the beginning of his earthly ministry, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist. 491 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:24,200 And immediately after he's baptized by John the Baptist, he goes out into the wilderness 492 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,200 to spend time. 493 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,280 He says this in Matthew 3, 16. 494 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,800 When he had been baptized, he just came up immediately from the water and behold, the 495 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,480 heavens were open to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and a lighting 496 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,480 upon him. 497 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,200 And suddenly a voice came from heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. 498 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,440 And Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 499 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,840 And he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights. 500 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,160 If you read that whole account, Jesus is in the back side of the dead or out in the wilderness 501 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240 and he's praying and he's fasting. 502 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,560 He's getting connected with the father. 503 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,480 He's hearing the father speak to him, which he always did. 504 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,060 And the devil comes and tempts him three times, tempts him in every way that we would ever 505 00:24:05,060 --> 00:24:06,060 be tempted. 506 00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:08,680 And Jesus overcomes the temptation. 507 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,580 And it's his spot. 508 00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:12,000 He's in the wilderness. 509 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Just fast forward just a bit in his ministry, Jesus is about to make the decision to choose 510 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:24,000 his 12 disciples, the 12 men that would carry the gospel to all the world, literally. 511 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,840 And out of a group of his disciples, Jesus is praying. 512 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,000 And in Luke 6, 12, it says, now he came to pass in those days that he went out to the 513 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,400 mountain. 514 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,000 He went out to the wilderness. 515 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,540 He went out to a spot and continued all night in prayer. 516 00:24:37,540 --> 00:24:40,340 And when it was day, he called his disciples to himself. 517 00:24:40,340 --> 00:24:46,180 Among them, he chose 12 from whom he named and he named the word of God names the apostles. 518 00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:49,480 He chooses 12 in Luke 5 and 12. 519 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,560 Jesus heals a man from leprosy, tells the guy that he heals, go to the priest because 520 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,080 when a leper was healed, they had to go to the priest. 521 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,820 They had to be okayed by the priest that they were actually healed so they could go back 522 00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:06,320 into society and amalgamate back into normal life in society. 523 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,000 And Jesus says, don't tell anybody. 524 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,940 But the news gets out, the word gets out that Jesus heals and crowds show up and Jesus begins 525 00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:17,540 to teach and he begins to heal. 526 00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:22,880 And the word of God says that after this takes place, that he withdraws into the wilderness 527 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,080 to pray. 528 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:31,240 It actually says in that verse of scripture, so he himself often withdrew into the wilderness 529 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,240 to pray. 530 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,240 Jesus had a spot. 531 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,360 He had a spot. 532 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:43,160 Always in a different town, always in a different location, but in the wilderness going away 533 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,920 to a spot. 534 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,940 Always going to here. 535 00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:48,240 This is Jesus. 536 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,920 This is God's son. 537 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320 This is Immanuel, God with us. 538 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,320 And he had a prayer spot. 539 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,560 He had a place to go. 540 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,200 You can argue with me, you can argue with Bishop Mitchell Toll, you can do that all 541 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,200 day long. 542 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,120 But if Jesus needed a spot to pray, I'm thinking maybe we do too. 543 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:05,120 Amen. 544 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:13,840 I'm going to ask you to stand this morning. 545 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,000 Hearing from God, we want you to hear from God. 546 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,360 As you stand at this campus and prepare your hearts really to hear from God this morning, 547 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,280 maybe as you're standing at the East Shore
