Can we stand in the presence of God for a moment? Holy Spirit, we ask you 8 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:05,240 now to come. You already are here. We sense your awesome presence and power. But now Lord, 9 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:11,080 will you come and teach us concerning yourself that we will know how wonderful you are in 10 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:17,040 our lives, that everything we possess comes from the Holy Spirit. Help us, we pray in 11 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,280 Jesus' name. And all the people said, you may be seated. Thank you. 12 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,200 Jesus, there's no one as important beside Jesus and the Father to you than the Holy 13 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:41,160 Spirit. This is the period when the Holy Spirit lives on the earth. Everything has come from 14 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:49,040 God. It has come through Jesus Christ. Everything we have is because of Jesus. But it's always 15 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,560 manifest through the Holy Spirit. Years ago, God showed me Corinthians where it says that 16 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,120 God is the source. It was about the gifts of the Spirit. It says very clearly that God 17 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,800 is the source of everything. Maybe you can turn to it if you wish. I didn't plan to, 18 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:14,160 but maybe it would be good to see that for a minute. That God is the source of everything. 19 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:25,000 This is chapter 12 of 1 Corinthians. You should have known that. It says there are differences 20 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,560 of administration, which means diacony, that Jesus is the means, but the same Lord, that's 21 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Jesus. There are diversions of operations. That's one about God, which is an anagram 22 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,680 of the source of all is God. But the phalaerosis, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to 23 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,800 every man to profit. It's all of the Father, it's what to the Son, and it's in fellowship 24 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,880 with the Spirit. You walk today all because of God. Everything comes is of God, the peace 25 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:03,800 of God, and so on. It is all through Jesus Christ. He is the vicar of Christ upon the 26 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:12,200 earth. The means of everything is Jesus, the Holy Ghost. I don't think we ever see Jesus 27 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,120 in person in the sense the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to you in a vision. He never leaves 28 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,480 the Father's side. He's always there, but because he's omnipresent, the Holy Spirit 29 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,360 brings Jesus to you in a vision, if you have a vision of Christ. Now, when Jesus Christ 30 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,320 was upon the earth, he spoke so much about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Just before 31 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,960 he left this earth, he kept emphasizing constantly. For example, in chapter 14 onwards, we have 32 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,960 that message of Christ. It's the last message he preached in, I believe, around the feast 33 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,360 of the Passover. And he says in verse 16, I will pray the Father, he will give you another 34 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,400 member that means, alos, the same as if I was here. Could have used the word hetero, 35 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,400 he didn't use the word alos, as if he was here, that he may abide with you forever. 36 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:14,000 How long? Even the spirit of truth from the world cannot receive, but you see him because 37 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000 he dwelleth with you and shall be in you. I will leave you comfortless. I will come 38 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,600 in the person of the Holy Spirit. Verse 26, but the comfort, which is the Holy Ghost, 39 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,160 the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you, O things. And 40 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,560 nearly every chapter onward here, it talks about the presence, just for a few chapters, 41 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:45,360 and the coming of the Holy Spirit. And we today are the recipients and the ones that 42 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:54,760 can walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit and receive all that the Holy Spirit is to 43 00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:02,960 us. It tells us to walk in the Spirit, to commune in the Spirit, to have fellowship 44 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:10,200 with the Spirit. We should be people that give great deference and honor and place in 45 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:16,440 our lives to the presence of the Holy Spirit. And if you're walking in the Spirit, you'll 46 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,600 have much more that God has for you. Amen. When you walk in the Spirit, you will not 47 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:31,680 fulfill the lust of the flesh or the works of the flesh. So God gives us so much, and 48 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,800 it's all because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. He's the means. Can you say 49 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,920 amen? It's because of him, because of that covenant, and the Holy Spirit manifests. 50 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,320 Now I'm going to give you some scripture. We're just going to go through the Bible. 51 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,440 The things that are very precious to me, that's what I'm doing tonight. That's not preaching, 52 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:58,360 that's just sharing. In Psalm 32, and we'll notice there in Isaiah 32, in the first part, 53 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,440 it speaks about the King coming to reign. This is, of course, I believe, finally in 54 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,840 the righteous, in the reign of Jesus Christ, and also what happens when the King reigns. 55 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,720 Then he talks about, he appeals to the women to understand the judgment that is coming 56 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:24,720 upon the face of the earth, and he appeals to them, and so on. And then finally says 57 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:33,200 this, all this devastation is on the earth until, verse 15, the Spirit be poured out 58 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:41,360 from on high, and the wilderness becomes like a fruitful field, and the fruitful field, 59 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,960 that's what Berkman means, becomes like a forest. When the Spirit comes, he changes 60 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:55,440 things. Can you say amen? He transforms life. He transforms circumstances. He transforms 61 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:04,200 everything around us until the Spirit comes. And if we can make room for that Holy Spirit 62 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,040 and in our lives, and then of course it speaks about quietness and assurance, and so on. 63 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,560 In Ezekiel 36, just then, again, as we pour through the scriptures for tonight in Ezekiel 64 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,880 36, when he speaks about Israel, what he will do to them, and he's gathered them from all 65 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,000 over the world, and of course that applies to us, he says in verse 26, and your heart, 66 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,800 verse 26, will I give them, Ezekiel 36, 26, and your spirit will I put within them, and 67 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,800 take away this stony heart of flesh and will give you a heart of flesh. And I give you 68 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,560 mine, put my spirit within you. It's all to do with what the Holy Spirit. You shall walk 69 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,720 in my statutes and keep my judgments. It comes how? Out of the presence he enables us to 70 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:56,600 walk before God, he changes us. Come on, church. We need the Holy Ghost to give us that desire, 71 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,840 that longing, that to follow him with all of our hearts and minds and souls and beings, 72 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:12,200 and to honor him in everything that we do. It also says to us in Ezekiel 38, I think 73 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:18,880 it is, if I got the scripture correct, or 39, 29, it says, me will I hide my face from 74 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:26,720 them. I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel. When the Spirit is outpoured, 75 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,840 the face of God or the favor of God or the glory of God comes to us. I want you to see 76 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:41,920 how precious this person of the Holy Spirit is and how much you should learn to really 77 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:51,400 depend upon him. He should be everything to you, but he never forces himself upon you. 78 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:59,000 You have to open your heart to receive him, to make room for him. I endeavor when we worship 79 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,440 God to make room. I am so passionate about that, to make room for the Holy Spirit in 80 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,240 the worship and the ministry that we have in here, in the touch of God that people should 81 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,160 be touched by. As Sister said, I can't be full for that. Remember the testimony I had 82 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:23,400 the other day from somebody when I was in Naur that was nearly totally deaf, had damaged 83 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:32,440 ears, came to Garden City, and she kept coming out constantly for healing. One day, God healed 84 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:39,800 those ears and she is now in the ministry of music in the church. She came especially 85 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:47,080 to tell us of the miracle, praise God. She still has the ears, but she can hear perfectly. 86 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,640 The doctor says, how in the world can you hear? God did it. Amen. But you see, what 87 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:59,560 I am trying to say is, don't give up. Pursue after. Amen. Go after until your faith is 88 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:06,280 strong enough to receive what God has for you. Can you say amen? Thank you for your 89 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:16,680 enthusiasm. Bob is not here yet tonight. In Proverbs 1 verse 23, it says, I will pour 90 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:23,920 out my spirit unto you, and I will make known my words unto you. Through the Holy Ghost, 91 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:30,000 he does what? He makes known his words to us. Do you know what that means? When you 92 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,640 open the Bible and suddenly it lives, amen, church. Suddenly God speaks, it is the Holy 93 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:44,680 Ghost making known his words, amen, church, unto you. Hallelujah. Praise God. I am just 94 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:50,240 giving you scriptures just to start with about the Holy Ghost. You see, everything in Jesus, 95 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,400 as you will see in a moment, happened because of the Holy Spirit. And everything in us should 96 00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:02,280 happen and should be understood because of the presence and person of the Holy Spirit 97 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:11,000 who will make known to us the wonderful words of God. In Isaiah 63, Isaiah 63 and verse 98 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:19,920 14, amen. Interesting, he is talking about Israel further earlier in verse 9, he says, 99 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,240 in all their affliction he was afflicted, the angel of his presence saved them, and 100 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,000 his love and in his pity he redeemed them and he bear them up and carried them, but 101 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,320 they rebelled and vexed his Holy Spirit. The word vex, I think in the Hebrew is the word 102 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:42,680 vex, which literally means tongue. In other words, they vexed the Holy Spirit by what 103 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:50,560 they said. Amazing. Remember what they kept saying, Israel, they kept saying things that 104 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:57,520 weren't correct, weren't right. They vexed the Holy Spirit. We don't want to do that, 105 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:06,720 when you say within, amen. It says, then you remember the days of Moses, verse 11, and 106 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440 his people saying, whereas he brought them out of the sea and with the shepherd of his 107 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:17,880 flock, was he to put his Holy Spirit within them. Even there they had such a presence. 108 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,760 Then it says in verse 14, and the beast goes down in the valley and the spirit of the Lord 109 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:30,680 causes him to rest. Even God can touch the animal world. God can touch creation by his 110 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:37,680 spirit. Come on, church. God can quicken every part. This Holy Ghost, this Holy Spirit is 111 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:44,640 the most, even remember when Saul became king, the Holy Spirit was then he was turned into 112 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:53,600 another man. He was transformed into another man. Now, how can we maintain that fresh oil 113 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,200 within us? How can we, like somebody said, and it was better him that said, we know when 114 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:06,200 he comes, he comes with tremendous force and wonderful ways and power, but we don't know 115 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:13,800 when he leaves. And that's the danger part. It's often demonstrated by a lack of fellowship, 116 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:23,880 a lack of hunger, no desire for the word, for the works of God, no desire for souls 117 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,800 anymore. But we don't know when he, and I don't want him to leave. Can somebody join 118 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:37,400 me? I want him to be with me. And how can we maintain that fresh oil? He says he will 119 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:44,520 give us fresh oil. I want what? Fresh oil. You know, there's something very powerful 120 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:53,400 that when Sister was talking today about a shepherd and so on. In 1 Samuel, I can find 121 00:13:53,400 --> 00:14:04,000 this. I was so blessed by it the other day, 22, when David is running from King Saul and 122 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:18,200 he runs to his father, his spiritual father. He runs to Samuel. I think this is the scripture. 123 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:35,680 I've got this right. Oh boy, I've got this one right. Yeah, I think it is. And he sends 124 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:51,320 out his servants. Where is this? Here we are. Chapter 20, I think. I hope I'm right. And 125 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:59,640 he sends out his servants to go because David is now fleeing from King Saul. And he sends 126 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:06,640 the first bunch. And here is Samuel with the prophets together. And it says in verse 20, 127 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:12,240 and Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the company of the prophets, 128 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,840 when they got into that presence of God prophesying, Samuel was standing as an appointed, he was 129 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,000 the spiritual father. The Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul. And they also 130 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,200 prophesied. They couldn't touch David. They came to get David. And here this anointing 131 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:36,440 of God's presence was so powerful that they themselves got amongst them and the Spirit 132 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:43,360 of God arrested them. So it says in verse 20, he sent another messenger, others, and 133 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,360 they prophesied likewise. And he sent the third time, what did he send them for? To 134 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:56,200 get David. The whole purpose was he's trying to kill David in this whole chapter. And David 135 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,280 is in the presence of the anointed, Amen, Church, and the anointing of God. And the 136 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:13,880 saints, so finally, Saul himself comes and he slips his clothes off and prophesies. Nobody 137 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:22,040 could touch them. Amen, Church. Oh, you're enthusiastic. You can't find it. Your Bible 138 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:32,000 hasn't first Samuel chapter 19. You should have known. First Samuel 19 from about 18 139 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,000 to the end of that scripture. It's an amazing scripture how when you get close to the presence 140 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:48,640 of God, it has an impact on you. Hello, Church. It has tremendous power to affect your life. 141 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:55,480 And I'm supposed to be an anointed servant, otherwise I won't do this stuff. If I'm not 142 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,560 anointed, I don't want to be an appointed, I don't want to do this. And there should 143 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,880 be an anointing flowing to this room. Can you say, Amen? And it has been flowing. It's 144 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,640 been happening gloriously. I know this is a holiday weekend, but it's been happening 145 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:16,280 gloriously. Hallelujah. Can you say, Amen? So how can we maintain that fresh oil in our 146 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,800 life? And this first thing I want to look at, it says in Corinthians chapter three, 147 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:31,760 I better get the right scripture before you tell me off. It says chapter four, the last 148 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:38,040 verse, second Corinthians chapter four, the last verse, we look at the things which are 149 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:45,080 seen, the things which are what? Unseen. But the things which are seen are temporal, the 150 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:53,480 things which are unseen are eternal. You have to ever keep your mind away from the temporal 151 00:17:53,480 --> 00:18:01,600 thing that afflicts your life. It says, I like affliction. That's why I got this affliction 152 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,680 effect wrong. In the previous verses, I'm just for a moment. And if you allow them in 153 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:14,520 the presence of the eternal, they work in you as far and exceeding eternal. Wait, of 154 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:22,040 course, glory. Amen. They have the power to change things, even the temple. If you keep 155 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:31,520 looking on the eternal. And so we have to fix our days, our life, our lifestyle, not 156 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:38,480 just one moment here. It's a whole lifestyle on eternal things because they will, and if 157 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:45,400 you have affliction, if you have things that are happening to you, the only temporal, but 158 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,520 they can work in you a lot, far more exceeding. And that's that previous verse we asked me 159 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:58,760 where it is. Eternal weight of glory, verse 17. So if we get involved, number one, too 160 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:05,240 much with our problems, we cannot have that presence of the Holy Spirit. We've got to 161 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:14,520 watch that we don't allow the human needs to overpower us and cause us. Now, I said, 162 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,160 aren't they important to God? They are very important to God. The Bible says in 1 Peter 163 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:28,200 5, casting all your care upon him. How many? All your care because he cares. And I think 164 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:35,320 what Ken Copeland once said this, they're very important to God, but they should be insignificant 165 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:41,800 to you because God's looking after them. Can you say, Amen? You should throw them upon 166 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:48,000 God. Come on, church. So you've got to learn to don't let the afflictions get into your 167 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,080 mind and get into your spirit because they're very hard to get out of. And then the Holy 168 00:19:53,080 --> 00:20:00,240 Spirit can't work in your life. You must be renewed in the spirit of your what? Mind. 169 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:08,120 In Psalm 51, the psalmist, when he failed, prayed, when you arrive, spirit within me, 170 00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:13,400 in verse 10, create in me, Psalm 51, verse 10, create in me a clean heart and cast not 171 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,120 away from your presence, take not your Holy Spirit from me. Cleanse me, prepare me, and 172 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:24,480 don't let your Holy Spirit be taken away. And you must understand the blood, the blood 173 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:31,520 of Jesus ever keeps away those things that could hinder the work of God in your life. 174 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:38,280 And your mind and your spirit must be full, watched at the problems. You remember what 175 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:47,280 it says in Proverbs, I think, four, it says, Oh boy, stay with me, Proverbs four, it says, 176 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:54,960 thank you, brother. It says, guard your spirit or guard your heart, verse 23, for out of 177 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,120 them are the issues of life. Proverbs four, 23, where did it come out of? Your heart. 178 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:06,080 You've got to guard your heart that the temporal things, that the things of time and sense, 179 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:15,320 that you don't peh. What does peh mean? Use your tongue to grieve the Holy Ghost. Say 180 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:24,880 things you shouldn't, God's not with me. Button your lips. Be careful what you say, 181 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,400 because you can, the afflictions can cause you to say things that shouldn't be on your 182 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,560 lips. We'll be talking about that some other time when we get into the covenant, because 183 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,600 it's the covenant of promises, the covenant of words. And as we go through it, we're going 184 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:46,400 to see this very powerful. So you have to guard your lips, guard your life and guard 185 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,720 your mind. You renewed in the spirit of your mind ever in the presence of the Holy Ghost. 186 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,960 Can you say amen? And this to me takes that, that anointing, that fresh oil away from you 187 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:04,280 and look at yourself and ask, you say, you know, is the anointing fresh in me? Are the 188 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:12,680 things I'm allowing in my life, are the words I'm saying, are there some peh that is grieving 189 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:20,520 the Holy Spirit that is stopping me because they may be the afflictions may be very real. 190 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,880 Let's say, but what kind of afflictions are they? Light affliction. They're just for a 191 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:31,320 moment. Do you think the early church had no afflictions? They had more than you've 192 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:38,080 ever seen in your life. They went on the intense, unbelievable suffering for the, because of 193 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:45,520 the witness. We don't do much witnessing today. We're too comfortable because of the witness 194 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:52,840 for Christ. They suffered much, but it was a light affliction and your affliction might 195 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,080 be different, but it's still what? Light. And if you allow this, it work it in you. 196 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:04,400 If you keep looking at the things which are what? Unseen. Because the things which are 197 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:14,240 seen are what? Temple. See, most Christians still think like the world. Forgive me. We 198 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:21,360 live in the body of flesh that is just like any other sinner's body to start with. And 199 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:27,440 although we are saved, there's tremendous dangers to have a carnal mind, a natural mind, 200 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,000 and not a mind living in the world. We're going to talk about that in a minute. We can 201 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:39,080 lose out with the living word of God in our hearts and lives. We've got to be careful 202 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:49,000 that this flesh, that's why we die daily, that this flesh doesn't predominate in our 203 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,640 lives, the carnal mind, rather than the spiritual mind. Remember in Romans what it said? It 204 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,440 said very strongly about the natural mind and the spiritual mind, Romans chapter 8, 205 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:07,040 to be carnal minded is what? Death. To be spiritually minded is life and peace. For 206 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:12,400 the carnal mind is envy against God, it can't sub you to the law of God and so on. And 207 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,240 then in verse 13 we're going to talk about that in a minute. We live, there's some very 208 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:22,000 powerful things we must do every day. We shall die. So I'm saying to you, although we are 209 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,760 dead, that body is still there and we've got to know how to handle it. Can you say 210 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,080 amen? How to bring it to death, how to bring that flesh to death so that the Holy Ghost 211 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:37,240 can predominate. You see, even what I said this morning about the new covenant, all that 212 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,480 you have, it gave you what? All of health, that all the sickness might go. I mentioned 213 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:50,320 some and it's sometimes hard for us to grasp this because we're still in this body of ours. 214 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:57,160 And if you can get hold of it in your spirit, it can revolutionize your life. Totally revolutionize, 215 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:04,520 come on, totally revolutionize your life. Amen. God, you see, don't think like the world. 216 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:10,200 Let the Holy Ghost come over your life. Let the spirit, mind of the spirit, let your spirit 217 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:16,920 be quickened with the mind of the spirit. Then to live in the Sonon you must live in 218 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,200 the Word. It's very simple, this message, but boy, how important. You must live in the 219 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:28,960 Word. Your life, that's why God gave us His Word because the Word renews us. The anointing 220 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,400 is always in the Word. Can somebody say amen? The anointing always quickens the Word to 221 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:42,840 us, inspires the Word to us, brings the freshness of God to us. So you say, what can I do to 222 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:49,000 aid the anointing? Get into the Word. Live in the Word and the Word must be quickened 223 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:57,680 to you. You don't just read it, let the Word come alive to you. As you read it, the Holy 224 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:04,160 Ghost will take, because it says take the sword of the spirit, Galatians, remember that, 225 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:11,880 which is what? The sword of the spirit. What does the spirit use? The Word, which is the 226 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,680 Spirit of God. So you quicken your life in the Word, can you say amen? You open yourself 227 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,920 up to the Holy Ghost, you quicken your life, you cry to the Holy Ghost to come. This is 228 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:30,240 going to Dr. Cho's church. He was so conscious of the Holy Ghost, he'd never get up and say, 229 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,840 come on Holy Spirit, let's go. He made real to us many years ago, before Benny Hinn came 230 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:43,240 along, that presence, that partnership with the Holy Spirit. That is in fellowship. He 231 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:49,480 says the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you. The fellowship, you've got three things, 232 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:57,560 the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and what? The fellowship, the fellowship 233 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:04,440 of the Holy Ghost. These aren't just words, church. You're overcome with unconditional 234 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,640 love every day of your life, otherwise you wouldn't be saved. Can you say amen? You made 235 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,360 a covenant and the grace of God is in that. We talk about what that grace means and we're 236 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:21,200 talking more about that in the covenant relationship. But then also what is it? The fellowship, 237 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:29,480 can you say amen? See, the Holy Spirit is a person who brings that Word alive to you. 238 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:36,480 When you go and read the scriptures, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Ask the Holy Spirit 239 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:46,720 to, can you say? Live in the Word, discover its authority, discover its cleansing power, 240 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,880 discover its life element. Know when the life of God is in that book and get a hold of it 241 00:27:52,880 --> 00:28:00,960 with that life reality. Can you say amen? Amen. And get a hold of that powerfully in 242 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:09,840 the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You see, we're not just here to have church. We're here to 243 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:17,520 meet with the Father, Son, and especially the Holy Spirit who's here to meet your needs, 244 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:23,640 who's here to come close to you. I want God to meet every need in this room. Can you say 245 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,800 amen? I want God to affect every one of our lives. When you leave here, you have a greater 246 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:39,000 passion, a greater hunger, a greater zeal, a greater desire for God until that life flows 247 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,960 through you with awesome power. Can you say amen? And gives you direction and so on. And 248 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:52,400 also can I say the Holy Spirit is very much involved in doing things in the ministry. 249 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:59,080 He's not selfish. He's ever ministering to you and now he wants to minister through you. 250 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:05,040 All those manifestations of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 or 14 rather are all things 251 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:13,120 that flow through us to other people. And so you've got to keep in your calling. You've 252 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:21,240 got a desire to do something for God. There's no place of retirement. When you get to heaven, 253 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:27,920 I don't care how old I am until the last moment on this earth, I'm going to serve God. Amen. 254 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:36,880 I don't have a mentality to say, well, it's time to retire, but not retire. Because you 255 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:43,760 see ministry, God always wants to use us. Look at Smith. Look, I love these. I love 256 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:50,160 reading the lives of mighty men. They live to the last moment for the kingdom. I would 257 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,840 live like that. Amen, church. I will live for him because you see, I've got to keep 258 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:02,520 in my, I call this in my calling on the things that God wants to do through me. I never want 259 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:12,800 to stop helping people, touching people, blessing people, doing something for God. Amen. Try 260 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,040 to witness to somebody. I missed it the other day. I think I was, went down the road and 261 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:23,440 had some, I found a nice meal for beautiful piece of pumpkin and chicken and potato, which 262 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,520 I shouldn't have had, but for $4. It's good. Old steam cooked, beautiful. And I bought 263 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:36,080 some from my wife, but there are two ladies sitting just up there a bit. And God says, 264 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:43,720 go and tell them why I didn't go. I said, I think I'm crying. I cried, Ray, Ray. It 265 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:50,440 happened to Burtis and one day he was in a brother, the Burtis and the great Lutheran 266 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:57,720 spiritual minister. What's his name? God said to him, he was in the bus, it talked about 267 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:07,080 Jesus. So he didn't, she cried, Ray. And he was obedient to God. He was learning how to 268 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:17,240 walk with God, but he paid a price for it. So the devil told me to my cry right. I was 269 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,600 going to go up to him and tell him just about Jesus. Don't laugh. It's serious to me. I 270 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:27,800 missed the moment. You never know what would have happened if I'd minister and obeyed the 271 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:34,480 Holy ghost, obey the Holy ghost. He will lead you to people over time. If he a sick person, 272 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,320 just say, can I pray with you? Don't tell them some who could poke with stuff because 273 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,800 they'll be scared stiff, but just say, I'm going to pray with you. I believe Jesus can 274 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:47,160 heal you. You'd be surprised how many people will he can heal. Then invite them, get them 275 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:54,520 into the family of God. Somebody say, amen. Learn how to walk with the Holy ghost. Can 276 00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:05,040 you say amen? Now, how can you intensify his presence? How can we get that presence of 277 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:11,160 God more powerfully into you? I could go all night tonight because the Holy ghost is so 278 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:18,480 real to me. These are simple thoughts, but in my life, the practical nature of my life 279 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:26,520 started. How can we intensify? Firstly, don't despise the little things. Don't just look 280 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:32,120 for big things. Too many are looking for, I don't know how they're healing ministers. 281 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:40,920 In Luke 16, we have some powerful words concerning this. Or am I? You are right. In verse 16, 282 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:49,400 in verse 10, it says, he that is faithful in that which is least is also faithful in 283 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:59,680 much. So you've got to learn to be faithful and to not despise the little thing. And God 284 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,120 will give you more. Can you say amen? Don't despise the little things that God does with 285 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:12,120 you. Don't despise the beginning. Amen. And God will entrust you because if God gives 286 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:19,040 you all at once, can you handle it? Well, yes, I can. You know what you're talking about. 287 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:25,080 Benny Hinn-Often says, you do not know what price I pay for that anointing. You have no 288 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:32,200 idea what price he pays. Some of us have moved a bit further and we have some idea, but don't 289 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:45,840 despise the little things. Number two, you intensify it by association. How? By association. 290 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:57,040 In Acts 4.13, they said they had been with what? Jesus. They saw the difference of their 291 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:08,720 lives by the association they had with what? Jesus. See, Joshua had Moses. Elijah had, 292 00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:16,520 Elisha had what? Elijah. David's mighty men in 1 Samuel 22, that's the one I had before 293 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:24,880 which I mixed up. These were not very marvelous people when they came to it first. It says 294 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:34,000 in 1 Samuel 22 verse 2, where am I? And everyone in distress and everyone in debt, that's why 295 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,840 we're all here. And everyone that was content and gathered themselves unto him and became 296 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:48,840 captain over them by four hundred men. And they became the mighty men by association. 297 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,240 Can you say, well, out of it there were great men raised up to be worship leaders. They 298 00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:59,280 became worshipers. He trained them to begin some of those great psalms you read. I'm not 299 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:05,120 David's psalm. The psalms of some of the men that he trained by association. Can you say 300 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:14,760 amen? So Paul had Timothy. So there's something about, you notice I love to be in the presence 301 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:21,600 of men like Benahim and others because my anointing gets intensified under that anointing. 302 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:30,360 And like in the Bible, there's something about relationships that produce that presence of 303 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:36,880 the Holy Ghost. Also, it intensifies, you get broken in spirit and contrite in heart. 304 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:43,320 You're never proud in this. Once pride comes, the Holy Ghost goes. He's not a spirit of 305 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:49,880 pride. Blessed are the poor in spirit or the hungry for God or those that long for God. 306 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:58,160 And I told you before to give yourself to the word. Notice in Psalm, in Act 6, when 307 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:05,560 the apostles got busy in things they shouldn't have got busy in, they said, take out men 308 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:12,320 to serve tables and so on full of the Holy Ghost. Even this, that minister, he says in 309 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,640 verse 4, but we will give ourselves of Act 6 to the minister of the word and to prayer. 310 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,680 There came the Holy Ghost in many aspects, but you see, it's in that word that God gave 311 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:31,160 them the power to be divinely effective for them. Can you say amen? Amen. Amen, church. 312 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:38,120 We won't be too long tonight. You say, I want more. My question to you is, and it may be 313 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:44,200 a difficult one, can you carry more? Because it's so we all get hungry for more. I get 314 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:50,680 hungry for more. But can you really sometimes Sunday night I go to hell when I get home? 315 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:56,520 So how can that be? The other men of God have said the same thing, especially with it's 316 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:03,040 a night when I've moved and tremendous power, demons come against me. You say, aren't you 317 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,360 strong? You've heard others say, who's that guy that's got that tape, one of the powerful 318 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:14,760 men Beth that we have a video of. I want to share this with you one day. Yes, it was Michael 319 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:20,400 who interviewed him, Paul Kane. He says he doesn't move into this realm because when 320 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:27,080 he does, it brings him under such attacks. You say, oh, how can this be? You're dealing 321 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:32,880 with another realm. You're dealing with a supernatural realm. I thank God for a good 322 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:38,320 wife. Can you say amen? You have no idea. You want to, I want to do this. That's fine. 323 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:44,520 But can you handle it? Can you, can you function in a greater, that brings you reproach? Can 324 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:50,240 you handle it? You must live in repentance and brokenness. Amen. Church, can you say 325 00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:55,920 amen and, and, and, and know how to function. Remember the gifts and callings of God are 326 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,280 without repentance. In other words, when God gives, he doesn't take it back. See my, my 327 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,220 mother asked for things and God gave it to her. But later on, she said to me, I wish 328 00:38:06,220 --> 00:38:10,840 I'd never asked for it because she moved in such a relationship. You could see things 329 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:17,080 all the time about human needs. I mean, there was my mother, there was Jesus, there was, 330 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:22,120 or rather there was God, there was Jesus, there was my mother. You couldn't sin in the 331 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:27,600 presence of my mother. Impossible because she moved. That's interesting. I was trying 332 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,120 to find the scripture. Now it's, did I put it down? Maybe I didn't put it down. Yes. 333 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:39,920 That's 20, please, in your Bible. Remember when, when Miriam and Aaron turned against 334 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:54,920 Moses, why was Miriam punished and why wasn't Aaron punished? Because he wore the garments 335 00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:04,360 of the priest. And notice at the end of this chapter, it says, and verse 26, Aaron's coming 336 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,000 to the end of his life. He's on Mount Horus. Strip the garments, put them on El-Jazar, 337 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:18,720 release his son. Numbers chapter 20 verse 26, Mrs. K, Queen Elizabeth, and others can 338 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,880 put them on El-Jazar and his son. And Aaron shall be gathered unto his people and shall 339 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:30,080 die at the moment the garments, see they wouldn't touch him while the garments were on him. 340 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,600 The gifts and corners of God are without repentance. So be careful what you ask for. Now that's 341 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:40,640 tough. That sounds hard. As long as you can handle it. A lot of men in this world haven't 342 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:46,920 had tremendous gifts, but couldn't handle it. So by pastors fading, a lot of pastors 343 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:53,160 can't handle it. They get very natural and carnal in the ministry and not supernatural 344 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:58,720 and guardian in the ministry. Amen. I want to finish in a few minutes. I think I've said 345 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:05,880 enough tonight to scare you stiff. But there's always, we're talking about the presence. 346 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,520 We're talking about the anointing. I want more. I hunger for more. And I know there's 347 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:20,320 a price and I'm conscious of the price. Now often say, Lord, can I handle this? Amen. 348 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:30,800 Hallelujah. But notice Jesus as I close here, everything came. He was conceived by the Spirit. 349 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:38,760 Then at the river Jordan, he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then Luke chapter four, one, 350 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:44,760 he came back in the power of the Spirit and spent some time in Galilee. And then he came 351 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:51,200 and looked for his and spoke upon me in John six, 63 says the words that I speak unto you 352 00:40:51,200 --> 00:41:02,440 that what spirit their life notice in Hebrews chapter nine, the Holy Spirit, I quoted that 353 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,600 scripture, but it don't forget what it says in the midst of this. It says who through 354 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:15,720 the eternal spirit, how do you do this? So the eternal spirit offered himself up without 355 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:22,560 spot to God. How did you do that? Through the power of the Holy Ghost. He could do nothing 356 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:30,280 without the Spirit his whole life. Now remember as he is in the world, so are we. He could 357 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:35,580 do nothing without the Holy Ghost. Nothing without it. Notice just before you leave already 358 00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:46,280 he is a risen Christ, but even then it says in Acts chapter one and verse two, it says 359 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:53,120 unto the day which was taken up when after that he through the Holy Ghost, when he was 360 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:59,680 taken up had given how to do this to the Holy Ghost, had given us commandments unto the 361 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:09,160 apostles whom he chose. He did this how through the Holy Ghost when he returns back from heaven 362 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:16,640 in all his power and majesty and glory. It says verse eight of second Thessalonians when 363 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:23,760 wicked shall be revealed, when the Lord shall consume with a white spirit of his mouth, 364 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:30,360 he comes with the power of the Holy Ghost in that day, in that hour that is coming very, 365 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:37,080 very soon. He comes how? With the power of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Notice in second 366 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:46,920 Peter chapter one, all these things, all the things we possess, it says in verse four, 367 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:54,200 thereby are given us exceeding great and precious promises. No, no, no, no. Verse three, according 368 00:42:54,200 --> 00:43:04,160 as is divine dunamis, what is that? The Holy Ghost. Divine power has given unto us what? 369 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:12,080 All things that pertain to what? Life and godliness. How is it come through the power 370 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:18,640 of the dunamis of God, through the power of the Holy Ghost? He gives us all things that 371 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:27,240 pertain unto life. And notice as I close tonight, and I'm nearly there, not really there, but 372 00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:34,960 I close. It says in first Peter one five, who are kept, and the better word would be 373 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:42,840 in the dunamis, first Peter one five, in the power of God through faith. How are we kept? 374 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:49,840 In the power of God. It's all to do with the Holy Ghost. It's all to do with the presence 375 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,880 and power of the Holy Spirit. Bring it to nothing without him. Can you say amen? It 376 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:03,080 all comes. And that's why he told them, he told them to tarry in Jerusalem, brother, thank 377 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:09,120 you, until you be endured with power from at high. And some of us maybe have to go understand 378 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,120 that I'm going to stay in that presence of God in the front here for a while. I'm going 379 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,680 to ask the Holy Spirit to come with more and give us more. Can you say amen? But remember, 380 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:26,520 more power, more responsibility. It's not for who class. It's for anointing to serve. 381 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:33,040 Amen church. And not only do the will of God on this earth, empower to do God's purpose, 382 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:38,240 you have to live, we understand. But I'm just saying to you, I want to spend a bit of time. 383 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:44,480 We're going to sing, Come Holy Spirit, I need you. Remember that chorus, come Holy Spirit, 384 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,080 I need you. We'll be in a minute. We're going to just open this altar up for those who want 385 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:55,080 to be with me in the front. We're going to pray for you. We're going to cover you. Remember, 386 00:44:55,080 --> 00:45:00,000 let that, let the Samuel anointing in that sense be here. That when the soul comes, he 387 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,800 can't get near unless you prophesize. Amen. We want that presence. Amen. But nobody can 388 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:17,160 touch us. Amen in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. 389 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,940 Thank you again for tuning in in today's powerful message from Dr. Reginald Climinop.
