WEBVTT 00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:18.679 We're going to do a little Q &A here before we 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.940 let you go and go get your lunch and then come 00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:24.260 back tonight for prayer. Everybody heard prayer? 00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:27.199 Come on, praying in the spirit at 6 o 'clock. 00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:29.539 The fact is you can even pray a little further 00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:31.859 than 6 o 'clock. You can pray in tongues on your 00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:33.899 way out here. Hallelujah. That would be even 00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.579 great. That's part of the reason God put us in 00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:39.560 Harrisburg, to help your spiritual life pray 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.719 to get here. Hallelujah. All right. Glory to 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.409 God. Let's do a little Q &A. And I'd like to 00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:52.310 frame it in. So here's the framing in right now 00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:56.210 for this section. I want you to stay within the 00:00:56.210 --> 00:00:59.329 boundaries of what we talked about this morning 00:00:59.329 --> 00:01:03.509 on hearing God, okay, with Dr. Jan Venter. So 00:01:03.509 --> 00:01:07.769 this category of how to hear the Lord and operating 00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:12.170 in that seeing, hearing realm as well. So that's 00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:14.170 kind of the... That's kind of going to be my 00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:16.890 set category this morning. And so I want you 00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:18.909 just to think about that a little bit. Pray in 00:01:18.909 --> 00:01:22.329 tongues. What is my question? And if you have 00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:25.189 a question, make it intelligent as much as you 00:01:25.189 --> 00:01:27.609 can. And I'm going to come out and bring the 00:01:27.609 --> 00:01:30.769 mic to you and let them answer your question. 00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:33.109 So anybody have a question right off the bat 00:01:33.109 --> 00:01:37.370 in that arena that you would like to ask? Hallelujah. 00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:44.340 You lifted your hand first. Okay, I'm embarrassed 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:45.819 to ask the question, but I'm going to ask you 00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:49.319 anyway, Tony. When I find myself praying in tongues 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.780 at night, I stay awake. Speak a little louder. 00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:53.439 Okay, excuse me, I'll speak up a little bit louder. 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:55.859 When I pray in tongues at night as I'm falling 00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.280 asleep, I find I don't go to sleep. I just stay 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:08.900 awake. When do you stop? Yeah, seriously. Here's 00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:13.900 what I would do if I were you. Okay? I would 00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:19.020 pray in tongues earlier in the evening, but I 00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:24.919 would do soft instrumental music if that relaxes 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.039 you and helps you go to sleep. Does that do that 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.180 for you? Christian music. Okay? That's answer 00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:35.379 one. Answer two. Because I sometimes do that. 00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:38.639 Because sometimes I get so excited, I'm awake. 00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:42.340 Okay. So sometimes I'll do soft instrumental 00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:44.520 Christian music because it has the atmosphere. 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.759 Second thing I'll do is sometimes I will go on 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.419 YouTube and listen to like the Gospel of John 00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:57.560 or like Matthew and listen to the word until 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.939 I fall asleep. And just listen. And it's amazing 00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:06.900 how the word of God will just relax you. And 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:08.780 you're receiving that word into your spirit. 00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:13.419 OK, and then it'll relax you and then you could 00:03:13.419 --> 00:03:16.319 actually move from that into a spirit of revelation. 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.000 OK, and then let me let me share this with you. 00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.460 Sometimes what you're what you'll do is you'll 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:27.819 have a dream and it's just anxiety dream or just 00:03:27.819 --> 00:03:31.780 crazy stuff. All right. And then all of a sudden, 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.080 in the midst of that, God will insert something. 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.840 And then you need to catch it. Like last night, 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:45.020 I'm just dreaming some stuff. Okay? But in the 00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:47.939 middle of all of that, I had a dream where God 00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:51.240 spoke to me personally. And then in the middle 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.039 of it, I heard a word on a subject that I'm now 00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:00.560 researching. But I had to recognize it. And so 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.400 then when I wake up. I go, okay, now I have to 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.639 start looking up scriptures on this subject because 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.860 the Holy Spirit obviously now wants to direct 00:04:09.860 --> 00:04:14.060 my attention toward it. Okay? And then the other 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:16.279 thing had to do with the Lord revealing something 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:22.160 to me about me that I needed to know. A correction. 00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:26.620 And look at somebody and say, and that's always 00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:32.759 a wonderful thing. And also, if that don't work, 00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:39.319 just take the book of Numbers and read and try 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:46.800 and pronounce every name, you know. Okay. Well 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.319 spoken. All right. Another question in regard 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.500 to that. Okay. Yes, sir. Hang up. Hang up. I'm 00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:59.639 coming. My name is Daniel, and I'm Native American. 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.420 I do speak my language, and it's sort of like 00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:07.040 meditating in a sweat lodge, but it's kind of 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.600 hard to open up to do the tongues. It's a different 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.360 environment, different way, but I'm really trying 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.560 to figure out how to open up to talk tongues, 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.839 but I usually just speak my native language. 00:05:22.819 --> 00:05:29.100 How could I go about working on that? I speak 00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:33.879 seven languages, and I can tell you right now 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.100 that the connection between earthly languages 00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:41.199 and the spirit language, there's no connection. 00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:45.240 You have to disconnect. No matter what kind of 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.040 language you speak, you have to learn how to 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.339 disconnect from the natural to the spiritual 00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:53.639 because the natural man does not understand the 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.500 things of the spirit of God. And that's why that 00:05:56.500 --> 00:06:00.319 when you speak in tongues, even to you, it'll 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.720 sound like a brabble noise in the beginning. 00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:07.019 Because it's an unknown language. It's an unknown 00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:10.019 tongue. Maybe known to other people that understands 00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:12.959 the language. But when you speak in tongues or 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.319 you want to speak in tongues, you have to allow 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.779 your natural man to disconnect and to connect 00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:24.629 to the spirit. That was good. All right. Yeah, 00:06:24.629 --> 00:06:27.990 okay. Yes, I'm going to try to just move to sections. 00:06:28.069 --> 00:06:31.949 Anyone right here in this section, okay? Thank 00:06:31.949 --> 00:06:34.949 you. I'm just curious, how often is it appropriate, 00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:38.629 the instance where I've seen people be delivered 00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:41.029 and then it's after the deliverance, they just 00:06:41.029 --> 00:06:42.410 raise their hand and start speaking in tongues 00:06:42.410 --> 00:06:44.550 and they're obviously being filled with the Holy 00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:46.310 Ghost, but they're not even doing it. They're 00:06:46.310 --> 00:06:48.689 not trying to do it. Now, we're trying to speak 00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:53.430 in tongues. Is there a separation between that 00:06:53.430 --> 00:06:56.310 and God's having it happen versus you having 00:06:56.310 --> 00:06:59.290 it happen? Does that make sense to you guys? 00:06:59.810 --> 00:07:04.110 Want me to take this one? Yeah. Let me explain 00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:06.029 this because this is a great question, by the 00:07:06.029 --> 00:07:10.389 way. How did they get delivered? They yielded 00:07:10.389 --> 00:07:16.089 to God. And they said yes to the Lord. And so... 00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:21.660 And so they stayed in a state of yieldedness. 00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:25.060 Their spirit yielded. And so they stayed in that 00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:28.519 state and then they just started speaking. Because 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.620 when they felt that urge through the Holy Spirit 00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:34.540 to speak. See, here's what's funny to me. I really 00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:38.980 struggled. Okay. I hope this don't bother you 00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:42.180 because I just, what you see is what you get. 00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:46.279 I really struggled to be able to speak in tongues 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:53.079 because I had control issues. I like to analyze 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.620 stuff and figure it out. And I couldn't figure 00:07:56.620 --> 00:08:04.019 it out. I couldn't figure it out. And so, okay, 00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:08.079 see, this is what's funny. How do you speak any 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.279 language? You move your lips and you roll your 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:16.819 tongue. So when the day of Pentecost fully came. 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.319 There were one accord in one place, and suddenly 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.379 there came a sound from heaven, rushing mighty 00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:23.740 wind, divided tongues like as a fire. They were 00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:25.660 all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke. 00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:28.180 Look at somebody say, you got to move your lips 00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:37.139 and roll your tongue. So, I'm moving my lips 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:40.379 and roll my tongue. That's my act of faith in 00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:46.840 yielding. And I sometimes, even now to this day, 00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:51.690 From 72 now, I'll be praying in the spirit and 00:08:51.690 --> 00:08:54.590 go, wait a minute, I'm speaking in tongues. And 00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:56.110 I wasn't even aware I was speaking in tongues. 00:08:56.809 --> 00:08:59.090 And I become conscious I'm praying in the spirit 00:08:59.090 --> 00:09:02.549 because I'm yielding. And then there's times 00:09:02.549 --> 00:09:06.649 when I have to voluntarily, by faith, speak. 00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:11.309 And as I speak, I'm yielding. So you have the 00:09:11.309 --> 00:09:16.269 sovereign and you have the voluntary yielding. 00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:19.299 Sometimes people are yielding, but they don't 00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:21.759 even know they're yielding. And that's what happens 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.639 in deliverance. That's really good. Excellent. 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.700 You see, you also must remember that you can 00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:29.980 never bring the natural into the supernatural. 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.399 You cannot take the spiritual into the carnal 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.240 and vice versa. It's two different worlds. And 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.500 so when you want to speak in tongues, once again, 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.559 you have to disconnect from the carnal, the natural. 00:09:47.129 --> 00:09:49.070 Because the natural man doesn't understand these 00:09:49.070 --> 00:09:52.149 things. So it's a total disconnect and you accept 00:09:52.149 --> 00:09:56.809 that the Holy Spirit will just lead you from 00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:00.570 that moment on. Excellent question. Okay, next 00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:10.669 one. Richard. Being frontline men of God, how 00:10:10.669 --> 00:10:14.480 many times are you two attacked each day? By 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.580 Satan? And then do you have a standard way you 00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:26.059 address that? Very good question. Because once 00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:32.740 your spirit becomes sensitive to the spirit realm, 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:39.259 now you have to learn the world of spirits and 00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:43.279 you learn the person of the Holy Spirit. But 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.000 you're going to encounter, when a person gets 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.759 baptized in the Holy Spirit, they're just opened 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.840 up to the world of spirits. And so you learn 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.940 the person of the Holy Spirit, but you're going 00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:58.539 to also discover that there's other spirits out 00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:02.899 there from the realm of darkness who, from time 00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:05.620 to time, they're going to talk to you. Now, let 00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:07.240 me say this, and you can do with this whatever 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.460 you want. Not every spirit, evil spirit that 00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:15.799 talks to you, will say you. They will sometimes 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.960 say I to get you to believe that it's the voice 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.279 of your own spirit, to get you to adopt their 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.159 lie so that they can be empowered to work against 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.379 you. Look at somebody saying, not every thought 00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:37.059 shows. And some thoughts are spirits. So one 00:11:37.059 --> 00:11:39.059 of the reasons it's critical for us to learn 00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:42.259 the word of the Lord is to say, is this thought, 00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:47.080 is it in keeping with what is written or the 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.500 character of God? And if not, even if it says 00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:55.120 I and mimics the voice of my human spirit, it 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.480 is to be rejected, casting down imaginations, 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.720 right? St. Corinthians chapter 10, four and all. 00:12:01.660 --> 00:12:07.919 Okay, so you're going to have some level of warfare, 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.519 but I don't allow myself to get caught up into 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.440 it. So if a spirit comes to me and gives me a 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.019 thought, rather than engaging the enemy, I just 00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:20.320 simply say, Lord, I send that one to you. And 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.340 I keep right on going because I'm not going, 00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:25.940 we're not going to play that game. Where the 00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:28.639 enemy going to wear me out wrestling with a thought, 00:12:28.779 --> 00:12:34.379 a thought. Seriously? Really? No. Lord, I send 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:36.139 that. See, even when I say, Lord, I send that 00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:40.840 to you, I'm still focused on Jesus. I'm still 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.500 focused on Jesus. So, I'm not doing that. Or 00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:48.480 I simply say, it is written. And I'm still focused 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.039 on Jesus. I'm not going to let the enemy catch 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.980 me up in spiritual warfare where he becomes my 00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:59.059 focus. Jesus said, it is written. He kept the 00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:04.759 Father his focus. Very good. Do you want to add 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:09.559 anything to that? Yeah. I personally also feel 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.259 that people oftentimes involve themselves too 00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:15.879 much and unnecessarily with spiritual warfare. 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.559 You're not supposed to be involved in spiritual 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.419 warfare. You walk in victory. You walk in the 00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:26.720 spirit. So you don't give way to those thoughts. 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.740 Sometimes I think, and the church especially, 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.039 is too enamored by a spiritual warfare that Paul 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.299 dealt with in the book of Ephesians. You'll notice 00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:44.700 that in the teachings of Jesus, it was you run 00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:47.899 across demons and you cast them away. And that's 00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:53.110 it. Live your life in such a way that in any 00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:55.090 case, and it's too much of a subject, but in 00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:57.409 any case, the Ephesian subject, I personally 00:13:57.409 --> 00:14:00.710 believe, was Paul's teachings about fallen angels 00:14:00.710 --> 00:14:03.710 and the encounters of fallen angels, not demons. 00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:08.230 And so that's not stuff that you're supposed 00:14:08.230 --> 00:14:10.909 to even get involved with. You are in victory. 00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:13.980 You have been blessed with all spiritual blessings. 00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:16.679 And you need to walk like that. Walk in victory. 00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:20.200 And like we said here last night, you know, talking 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.679 about angels. You have angels that stands by 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.379 to help you walk in victory. Keep your mind on 00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:32.799 Christ and away from Satan. That's good. That's 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.340 good. Tony, I'm going to do a follow -up question 00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:40.080 for you. Yeah. In regard to just... confirming 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.159 even what you guys both said, the Bible says 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.340 in John, John writes, test all things, right? 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:51.519 Oh, okay. If you have a lot of experience with 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.779 angels, the angels of God, which, you know, because 00:14:54.779 --> 00:15:01.360 I need so much help, I have. Because, yeah. I 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:06.360 remember this, that a demonic angel came to me. 00:15:08.020 --> 00:15:12.460 posing as an angel of God to talk to me, and 00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:16.399 he kind of sounded like one, but I was looking 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:26.480 at him, and I caught a glimpse of darkness. So, 00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:32.220 when in doubt, if an angel says something, make 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:34.899 sure it's in keeping with what is written, the 00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:39.529 character of God, right? Right? And then you 00:15:39.529 --> 00:15:42.309 can actually make the, you can challenge the 00:15:42.309 --> 00:15:45.409 angel to confess that Jesus Christ came in the 00:15:45.409 --> 00:15:49.230 flesh and that Jesus Christ is his Lord and master. 00:15:49.429 --> 00:15:53.509 That is so, that is so true. Make him say it. 00:15:53.610 --> 00:16:01.830 So I busted this angel out. Okay. Okay. I should 00:16:01.830 --> 00:16:04.830 probably explain this. The name Kemp means warrior. 00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:10.250 my real name is Phillip Anthony. Everybody calls 00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:13.049 me Tony, but Phillip means lover of horses, which 00:16:13.049 --> 00:16:18.049 is military. And so sometimes I get real aggressive. 00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:24.590 And so I busted his behind out and he left. Okay. 00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:27.889 So all I'm saying is I'm not afraid of being 00:16:27.889 --> 00:16:34.049 deceived. The very fear of deception can lead 00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:38.669 to deception. All you got to know is the Father, 00:16:38.870 --> 00:16:43.370 Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and it is written. So 00:16:43.370 --> 00:16:46.730 ain't no big deal. Sooner or later, one's going 00:16:46.730 --> 00:16:51.210 to come to try to trick you. Just bust his behind 00:16:51.210 --> 00:16:56.710 out and send him off in the name of Jesus. Okay, 00:16:56.769 --> 00:17:02.580 now I'll come back down. That's great. And springing 00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:04.980 off of that, the reality is when it says test 00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:09.579 all things, the written word is so critically 00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:13.900 important to every level of the supernatural. 00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:18.579 Yeah. Because as you've said, and we've talked 00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:23.349 about the level of intrigue. of people of how 00:17:23.349 --> 00:17:26.190 they're hearing you know we we hear it all the 00:17:26.190 --> 00:17:31.529 time well my departed daughter or son they visit 00:17:31.529 --> 00:17:34.630 me or they talk to me and you hear those type 00:17:34.630 --> 00:17:37.329 of things that are clearly unbiblical but there's 00:17:37.329 --> 00:17:40.950 no training in the word of god and so people 00:17:40.950 --> 00:17:45.910 having wisdom Not from above. That is pure. And 00:17:45.910 --> 00:17:48.170 that's the key again. Knowing the scriptures. 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:52.230 It's pure. It's noble. It's righteous. It's connected 00:17:52.230 --> 00:17:56.109 to God's word. His character. His truth. His 00:17:56.109 --> 00:17:58.970 holiness. If that's not there. That's why you 00:17:58.970 --> 00:18:03.250 have to test it out. Test it out in every form 00:18:03.250 --> 00:18:07.440 of revelation. A word to anything. Let's talk 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.960 about, and then I'll get a couple more questions. 00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:13.140 Let's talk about discerning of spirits as in 00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:18.319 the list in 1 Corinthians 12, discerning of spirits. 00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:23.319 Doctor? In what sense? Well, just whatever sense 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:25.579 you want to talk about it. Well, you know, if 00:18:25.579 --> 00:18:28.559 you want to discern the spirits, it's just like 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.019 you said. You know, you've got to judge them 00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:37.670 by... what comes from them. You know, it's got 00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:42.210 to be tested on the level of the word. You know, 00:18:42.230 --> 00:18:44.349 you cannot believe everything or anything that 00:18:44.349 --> 00:18:46.789 comes to you. It's got to pass the test of the 00:18:46.789 --> 00:18:52.450 word. Number two, it's got to pass the test of 00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:57.009 the character of God. If it doesn't have the 00:18:57.009 --> 00:19:00.029 character of God, it doesn't pass my test. It 00:19:00.029 --> 00:19:01.549 doesn't matter what they say. It doesn't matter 00:19:01.549 --> 00:19:03.930 how intelligent they sound. It doesn't matter 00:19:03.930 --> 00:19:06.390 how convincing they sound. They've got to pass 00:19:06.390 --> 00:19:09.109 the character of God. And then number three, 00:19:09.269 --> 00:19:13.190 are they surrounded by love? Is what is happening, 00:19:13.390 --> 00:19:22.410 is it covered by love? God is love. So if there's 00:19:22.410 --> 00:19:25.769 an absence of love or the presence of malice, 00:19:25.829 --> 00:19:29.910 it's clear. That's how I test them. Yeah, the 00:19:29.910 --> 00:19:34.289 other thing of it is I try to look at my, okay, 00:19:34.410 --> 00:19:38.970 I try to examine my own heart in the light of 00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:41.210 the written word of God and the Holy Spirit. 00:19:41.589 --> 00:19:46.789 Because if your spirit's wrong, your discernment 00:19:46.789 --> 00:19:52.470 is not clear. Okay. And so Dr. Yon said something 00:19:52.470 --> 00:19:55.109 that I think is real, real important. And I do 00:19:55.109 --> 00:19:57.130 want to mention this because a lot of times people 00:19:57.130 --> 00:19:59.210 want to enter the realm of the supernatural in 00:19:59.210 --> 00:20:03.470 Jesus, but they really suffer from guilt. Now 00:20:03.470 --> 00:20:06.490 you have two types of guilt. You have guilt that's 00:20:06.490 --> 00:20:08.630 genuine because you really did something wrong. 00:20:08.630 --> 00:20:11.269 You didn't repent. And look at somebody and say, 00:20:11.309 --> 00:20:14.910 just repent. And then believe the word. If we 00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:16.849 walk in the light as he's in the light, the blood 00:20:16.849 --> 00:20:19.589 of Jesus constantly and continuously cleanses 00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:22.990 us from all sin. Okay, so once I've repented, 00:20:23.049 --> 00:20:26.210 and now I have boldness to enter into the most 00:20:26.210 --> 00:20:29.269 holy father through the blood of Jesus. Once 00:20:29.269 --> 00:20:31.630 I've repented, once I've confessed that he's 00:20:31.630 --> 00:20:34.750 faithful and just, 1 John 1 and 9. Now, now you 00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:37.170 need to hear this. Now I'm in a state of innocence. 00:20:39.789 --> 00:20:45.200 I'm in a state of innocence. Romans 5 and 1, 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.779 therefore being justified by faith, I have peace 00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:50.980 with God through my Lord Jesus Christ. So I stand 00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:53.839 before God just as if I've never sinned. Now 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.920 through a sense of innocence because of the blood 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:58.940 of Jesus and his resurrection from the dead, 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:04.240 now I have no real sense of sin. So now if the 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.799 enemy brings something, it's false guilt. Therefore 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.039 there is now no what? condemnation to them who 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.619 are in Christ Jesus, right? So now in this state 00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:21.480 of innocence, now my faith operates, right? Because 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:23.859 whatsoever we ask of him, we receive because 00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:27.019 we keep his commandments, right? So beloved, 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.920 if a heart does not condemn us, we have what? 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.359 Confidence and peace toward God, right? So now 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.900 in this peace, in this peace, I can receive revelation. 00:21:38.890 --> 00:21:43.390 But if I let the enemy convince me of a false 00:21:43.390 --> 00:21:46.789 guilt that the blood of Jesus is taken care of, 00:21:47.009 --> 00:21:49.109 then it's going to be hard for me to receive 00:21:49.109 --> 00:21:52.529 revelation from God. Does that make sense to 00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:56.509 you? So I just want to mention that. And it's 00:21:56.509 --> 00:21:59.390 going to be hard for me to minister by the Spirit 00:21:59.390 --> 00:22:02.150 or receive ministry by the Spirit if I'm in a 00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:04.589 state of guilt. That's why I always try to help 00:22:04.589 --> 00:22:07.690 people to repent first. And, you know, the Bible 00:22:07.690 --> 00:22:10.589 also speaks of, you know, the saints being equipped. 00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:14.210 You know, you must always remember that you are 00:22:14.210 --> 00:22:16.890 equipped. He makes sure that you are equipped. 00:22:17.049 --> 00:22:18.549 He's not going to just release you to just go 00:22:18.549 --> 00:22:21.069 out there, even if you don't have, you know, 00:22:21.069 --> 00:22:25.170 a high level of experience in this realm we're 00:22:25.170 --> 00:22:27.630 talking about. And one of the equipping of the 00:22:27.630 --> 00:22:31.460 saints is the anointing. The anointing, that's 00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:34.460 what John says, you have an anointing. And so 00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:39.079 the anointing bears witness of the truth. And 00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:42.980 so that should be a very strong guide for all 00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:46.680 of us, you know, with the anointing. It not only 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.059 breaks the yoke of bondage, but it bears witness 00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:53.539 of the truth. That's really good. Really good. 00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:56.940 Okay, one more question here. Who's got a great 00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:59.059 question. It's just burning, you know, the Holy 00:22:59.059 --> 00:23:08.960 Spirit sent it to be answered. Karen. Thank you, 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.500 first of all, for the great blessing of you guys 00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:16.720 sharing your experiences with God. I know early 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.619 in my walk, I was attacked because of a lot of 00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:23.039 stuff that was passed down. God taught me personally. 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.680 And one thing that, as I was struggling with 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.779 self, which to me is the biggest warfare that 00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:33.400 we have, was motivation. And I just kept begging 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.880 and begging God for motivation. And then as I 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.480 walked the walk, I saw how that relationship 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.640 was the motivation. I was wondering if you guys 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.079 could talk on that. You want to go first? Okay, 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.579 you know, the thing is, to become aware of... 00:23:50.809 --> 00:23:56.170 of one's purpose. You know, that, I believe, 00:23:56.309 --> 00:23:59.369 is the strongest force that will motivate you, 00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:01.930 is when you become aware of really what your 00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:06.109 purpose is. Because that's the thing with so 00:24:06.109 --> 00:24:09.089 many people is they live aimlessly or without 00:24:09.089 --> 00:24:12.069 purpose. It's amazing that when you come into 00:24:12.069 --> 00:24:16.690 that area or that awareness of what your purpose 00:24:16.690 --> 00:24:19.819 is, what you were created for. The moment you 00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:23.640 come into that thing there, that becomes an incredible 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.160 motivational force. You cannot live aimlessly. 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.519 You've got to come to a place where you say, 00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:33.319 wow, that's what I'm here for. Now, once you 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.140 find out that's what I'm here for, guess what? 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.819 You're not going to need no encouragement. You 00:24:38.819 --> 00:24:40.799 know, because you remember what Jesus said, where 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.660 your heart is, there will be what? Your treasure. 00:24:46.590 --> 00:24:51.250 So once you find out where is my heart, you're 00:24:51.250 --> 00:24:55.349 going to discover your treasure. Yeah, and in 00:24:55.349 --> 00:24:58.190 connection with that, remember Philippians, Paul 00:24:58.190 --> 00:25:01.529 said this. He says, God's working in you, giving 00:25:01.529 --> 00:25:04.829 you both the desire and the ability to do his 00:25:04.829 --> 00:25:09.269 good pleasure. So questions, okay? One of the 00:25:09.269 --> 00:25:11.029 things the Lord really taught me to do is ask 00:25:11.029 --> 00:25:15.200 questions. So what is it that you love? What 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:20.299 is it that you hate? What moves you to have compassion? 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.460 What is it you want to fix? Okay? And not just 00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:31.039 that, but if I can say it to you like this, one 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.880 of the reasons the Father and Jesus put all these 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.460 different ministries in the church and speakers 00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:39.240 come through, and sometimes you'll listen to 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.599 a speaker, man or woman, and you'll go, you know, 00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:46.299 I think... That resonates with it. It rings your 00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:49.140 bell. It makes your baby leap Okay, just like 00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:51.599 John the Baptist leaked when he heard the voice 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.019 of Jesus and it's like yeah I want to be like 00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:58.009 that when I grow up And so sometimes what happens 00:25:58.009 --> 00:26:00.490 is you're listening to a speaker and something 00:26:00.490 --> 00:26:03.490 on the inside of you says, that's it, that's 00:26:03.490 --> 00:26:06.329 it, that's it.

We have to have a 00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:15.950 model. We have to have a picture. And then we 00:26:15.950 --> 00:26:19.089 say, okay, now what steps do I have to take to 00:26:19.089 --> 00:26:22.509 cause that revelation to become a personal reality? 00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:37.779 Wow.
