[0:00] Hallelujah. Thank you for tuning in to this powerful message by David Entry at Karis Phase 2, our Christ Centred Youth Services.
[0:10] You can never find Christ outside of the open Word of God. May Jesus Christ reveal Himself to you as you listen.
[0:19] Are you ready for God's Word? Are you sure you're ready? The good news is something is burning in my heart.
[0:30] There's a word burning in my heart. Jeremiah said in the verse 29, he said, if I said I will not speak, I cannot because it is like fire shatter.
[0:48] It's like liquid fire. It's like Jeremiah said, it's like fire shatter. 29. It's like fire shatter in my bones.
[1:01] The Word of God is coming. What makes our meetings Christian is not our gospel singing.
[1:16] It's not our chandelier chandelier.
[1:22] What makes our meeting Christian is the dominance of God's Word.
[1:27] Where God's words dominate.
[1:33] Where God's words. In Acts 19, verse 20, it said, so the word of God increased mightily, grew and prevailed.
[1:44] The Bible says that when the apostles in Jerusalem, Acts 8, verse 15, when they heard that Samaria had received the word.
[1:52] So it is about the word.
[1:54] So it is about the word finding a place.
[1:58] When the word of God doesn't have a place amongst us, God doesn't have a place.
[2:05] You can't call it Christian unless it's word determined.
[2:09] Never expose yourself to Christian gatherings that are void of the teaching of God's Word.
[2:20] Never. Even if it's a musical concert and it's Christian, there must be something about a word spoken.
[2:28] And not what somebody believes God is saying, but what we all know the word of God is saying.
[2:35] Many people have been deceived to think that what a man of God is saying is God's Word.
[2:42] What a man of God says is not God's Word.
[2:45] That's God's Word. The Bible. This.
[2:47] Whatever this says is God's Word.
[2:52] So when we gather, the best time of our gathering is when the word begins to speak.
[3:02] I actually feel like preaching.
[3:04] Let the Bible speak.
[3:06] Are you ready?
[3:07] Oh Lord, as we get into your Word, we pray that get into us.
[3:14] Reveal Jesus to us.
[3:16] And let your name be glorified.
[3:18] In Jesus name.
[3:20] Amen.
[3:22] Ephesians chapter 4.
[3:25] I want to pick it from verse 15.
[3:28] Verse 15 says that,
[3:29] But speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in all things which is the head, even Christ.
[3:41] From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplied, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, make it increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
[4:03] I took a whole service last week just for this text.
[4:06] So today God has something good in stock for somebody.
[4:11] Amen.
[4:13] Well, in Ephesians, we just read it.
[4:19] The body grows by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of the every part, make it increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
[4:35] Now, we started the verse 17, but I couldn't go further because of time.
[4:41] And today, let's sink our teeth into it.
[4:45] Verse 17.
[4:47] Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
[4:49] Mmm.
[4:51] So good.
[4:53] So good.
[4:55] Verse 17.
[4:57] Let's read our last one. Let's go.
[4:58] This is our Savior.
[4:59] Therefore, I will testify in the law that ye henceforth walk, who has done Gentiles walk.
[5:05] In the privacy of their mind.
[5:08] So, he said, how do Gentiles walk?
[5:11] In the privacy of their mind.
[5:14] Here, Gentiles, we're talking about people who don't have a relationship with God.
[5:19] They walk in the...
[5:22] It's a very strong statement.
[5:25] They walk two major ways.
[5:29] They walk not in their mind, but the vanity part.
[5:33] They are vain thinking, making decisions on vain philosophy.
[5:40] Did you understand what I said?
[5:41] Making decisions on vain.
[5:43] If you buy something from a 419 person, a selling computer in a box, you buy the...
[5:51] By the time you get home, you realize it's stones.
[5:55] That computer, you can't work with it.
[5:58] Because it doesn't work.
[6:00] Because you bought something vain.
[6:01] You have invested into something vain.
[6:03] It said Gentiles and unbelievers, they walk in the vanity of their minds.
[6:12] NIV.
[6:16] It says that the Gentiles...
[6:19] That you must no longer live as the Gentiles do.
[6:23] In the futility of their thinking.
[6:27] It's a thought pattern.
[6:28] It's a philosophy.
[6:29] The way you think...
[6:32] Your assessment of life.
[6:37] Your understanding about life.
[6:40] The way you think about girls.
[6:43] Yeah.
[6:44] Some of you know your cast.
[6:45] You speak to her about boys and...
[6:49] She says, ah!
[6:50] After this boy, I would do anything for him.
[6:52] I don't know him, but when I see him, I'm like, ah!
[6:56] Can you have organized for me to just meet him one night?
[6:57] You see, the futility...
[7:00] It's a philosophy.
[7:02] Some of you, he said, and such were some of you.
[7:07] But now, yes.
[7:09] 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9.
[7:11] He said, verse 9, verse 9 to 11.
[7:15] And such were some of you.
[7:17] And such were some of you.
[7:20] But now, you have been sanctified.
[7:23] You have been cast.
[7:24] You know the way you used to think about boys.
[7:29] It's 1 Corinthians instead.
[7:31] And such were some of you.
[7:33] But you are washed.
[7:35] But you are sanctified.
[7:36] Yeah.
[7:37] But you are justified.
[7:39] In the name of the Lord Jesus and the spirit of the...
[7:42] And the spirit of our God.
[7:44] You used to...
[7:45] Remember the way you used to think?
[7:46] Some of you here used to have different girls, girlfriends.
[7:49] Yesterday, I found out that sometimes, one guy will send the same message about three girls.
[7:54] Send a message, what did you say?
[7:55] Broca.
[7:56] Broca, yeah.
[7:57] What's that broadcast?
[7:59] So, you are part of the list.
[8:00] And they send you, girl, all night I couldn't sleep.
[8:01] I was just thinking about you.
[8:02] But you are not the only one receiving that message.
[8:04] Three other girls are receiving that same message.
[8:06] And as soon as she received the message, she said, oh.
[8:07] What?
[8:37] your friend said I want to go but my mom said I can't go
[8:41] and you tell him your mom said but you're afraid of her
[8:43] just leave you see you have a problem
[8:47] your mindset and so
[8:50] many people especially in our generation
[8:54] and in our world their philosophy about
[8:57] sex about women about men
[9:00] about money it's so foolish
[9:04] some of you your philosophy about church
[9:06] after me I only spend 30 minutes in church
[9:10] but you spend 30 minutes watching pornography
[9:12] yes you will do anything for money
[9:20] see some of us we have aunties who tell you that guy has money
[9:24] go with him you see she's not a wicked person but she's
[9:28] futile she makes decisions from the futile mind
[9:32] vain thinking
[9:33] vanity so when you are not in Christ the best of you
[9:40] it's vain thinking
[9:41] it doesn't matter how educated you are
[9:44] because people who are highly educated
[9:47] they wouldn't do that if education solves mental problems
[9:51] and moral problems
[9:54] some of the well educated people are so immoral
[9:58] immoral some of you know you used to go out with somebody's husband
[10:01] and he is a priest
[10:03] P.I.G. holder
[10:04] yes P.I.G. holder and you pay a lot of money
[10:08] give you but he bought that first car for you
[10:10] yes
[10:13] and you too when you were because of your vain thinking
[10:16] you felt like he has money what
[10:18] there's a young lady I met
[10:20] and she came to see me
[10:23] so she has a few problems
[10:25] and she was telling me about how promiscuous she was being
[10:29] and she told me she actually likes married men
[10:32] I said that the time she was talking to me
[10:36] she was having an affair heavyweight affair
[10:39] with her boss who was a married man
[10:41] yeah
[10:43] and around that time I think she was in her early 20s
[10:47] so
[10:48] that's the first time I heard anything like that
[10:51] that a young lady said
[10:53] some of the young ladies we prefer older men
[10:56] people who are already married
[10:59] you see vain thinking
[11:00] vain thinking
[11:02] because of the vanity of your thinking
[11:06] you were sleeping with aunties
[11:08] vanity of your thinking
[11:14] you think lottery will make you rich
[11:17] that's why you've been gambling and gambling gambling
[11:23] hoping you'll be rich one day
[11:24] I don't blame you
[11:28] do you know what I blame?
[11:30] vain thinking
[11:30] but when you become a Christian
[11:33] Bible says that we have the mind of Christ
[11:35] so when he saves us
[11:39] he doesn't only save us
[11:41] from Satan's control
[11:43] he also saves us from vain thinking
[11:46] that is why in Romans chapter 12 verse 1
[11:49] he said
[11:49] I beseech you therefore brethren
[11:51] that be ye transformed
[11:53] by the renew
[11:54] your mind
[11:55] your mind needs an update
[11:58] or an upgrade
[12:01] your thinking must be upgraded
[12:04] to a standard
[12:05] normal
[12:06] common sense thinking
[12:08] because sometimes
[12:09] when you are not in Christ
[12:10] your thinking is so
[12:11] it lacks common sense
[12:13] you don't even know
[12:13] you lack common sense
[12:15] it's usually when
[12:16] how many of you
[12:17] when you became born again
[12:18] you realize how much
[12:19] you lack common sense
[12:20] you lacked it
[12:21] yeah
[12:22] why didn't you notice
[12:24] because of the vainness
[12:25] of our imaginations
[12:27] vain thinking
[12:28] so it says that
[12:29] Gentiles
[12:30] godless people
[12:32] ungodly people
[12:34] they live
[12:35] and make decisions
[12:37] and run their lives
[12:39] based on futile thinking
[12:42] futile thinking
[12:44] and futile mind
[12:47] that also means
[12:48] mindsets
[12:49] so now
[12:52] going back to the text
[12:53] he says that
[12:54] this I say therefore
[12:56] and testify in the Lord
[12:57] that you should no longer
[12:59] tap somebody and say
[13:01] no longer
[13:02] no longer
[13:02] no longer
[13:05] no longer
[13:06] no longer
[13:08] no longer
[13:11] no longer
[13:12] no longer
[13:12] you should no longer
[13:15] walk
[13:16] you should no longer
[13:18] walk
[13:18] as the rest of the people
[13:20] who are not in Christ do
[13:21] your lifestyle
[13:23] and what
[13:25] what directs your life
[13:27] must be different
[13:28] from what directs
[13:28] their lives
[13:29] when your family
[13:32] is doing a party
[13:33] you're having a party
[13:33] and you are there
[13:34] your cousins are there
[13:35] your cousins who are not
[13:37] born again
[13:37] or your family members
[13:38] who are not born again
[13:39] they must see that
[13:40] you are a different person
[13:41] you are a different person
[13:45] not because you
[13:46] you think you are better
[13:47] than them
[13:48] no no no
[13:48] it's not about that
[13:49] but it's because
[13:50] your mind has been sanctified
[13:52] you can now think right
[13:55] you can now see right
[13:57] you can now think straight
[14:00] and you can now think
[14:02] godly
[14:03] in a godly way
[14:05] so he said
[14:06] we're no longer
[14:07] it's hard to say
[14:09] there are people
[14:09] who have
[14:10] become born again
[14:11] and there's no change
[14:13] in their living
[14:14] they still walk
[14:16] the same way
[14:16] no no
[14:18] it's a sign
[14:19] you're actually
[14:19] not born again
[14:20] because one of the signs
[14:23] of a genuine believer
[14:25] if you are a child
[14:27] of god
[14:27] one of the signs
[14:29] I think
[14:29] 1st John chapter 2
[14:30] verse
[14:31] 28
[14:32] or 29
[14:33] he who is born
[14:35] of god
[14:36] so when
[14:37] when you are
[14:38] born of god
[14:39] you
[14:40] 1st John
[14:41] chapter 2
[14:43] verse 28
[14:44] and 29
[14:44] let us
[14:45] abide in him
[14:46] that when he appears
[14:48] oh this is the one
[14:48] I like
[14:49] ah
[14:49] when I see
[14:50] when he's appearing
[14:50] appearing means a lot
[14:52] to me
[14:52] he says
[14:52] when Jesus appears
[14:53] we may have confidence
[14:55] and not be ashamed
[14:56] before
[14:56] let's look at
[14:57] that's the one
[14:59] I'm looking for
[14:59] if we know
[15:00] that he is righteous
[15:01] you know
[15:02] that everyone
[15:02] who practices
[15:03] righteousness
[15:05] is born of him
[15:06] what shows
[15:09] that you are
[15:09] the seed of god
[15:10] is your practices
[15:12] as well
[15:12] where he said
[15:13] since he is righteous
[15:14] if you say god
[15:16] as you are born
[15:17] of god
[15:17] then there will be
[15:18] a reflection
[15:19] of righteousness
[15:19] in your life
[15:20] so how come
[15:22] you say you are
[15:22] born again
[15:23] but your life
[15:24] has not changed
[15:25] it doesn't show
[15:25] your life
[15:26] it doesn't show
[15:27] your behavior
[15:28] no
[15:29] that means
[15:30] not true
[15:30] you are just
[15:31] religious
[15:31] so back
[15:35] to our text
[15:36] you should
[15:38] no longer
[15:38] somebody say
[15:39] no longer
[15:40] lift up your
[15:41] right hand
[15:42] your right finger
[15:42] and say
[15:43] I will no longer
[15:44] I shall no longer
[15:47] I shall no longer
[15:48] walk as the Gentiles
[15:49] do
[15:49] in the futility
[15:52] of their minds
[15:53] by the help
[15:54] of the Holy Spirit
[15:55] so help me god
[15:57] in Jesus name
[15:59] amen
[16:01] look at verse 18
[16:03] now this is still
[16:05] a reflection
[16:07] of Gentiles
[16:08] see what the Bible says
[16:10] it says
[16:10] their understanding
[16:11] is darkened
[16:12] how many of you
[16:15] have been in a room
[16:16] and the light goes off
[16:17] and you find
[16:17] your way around
[16:18] you are groping
[16:19] trying to find
[16:21] your way
[16:21] how many of you
[16:23] have been
[16:24] or sometimes
[16:24] you are in your room
[16:26] you are sleeping
[16:27] you are in bed
[16:28] you share room
[16:28] with your sister
[16:29] your brother
[16:30] and
[16:31] they are very
[16:33] light sleeper
[16:34] so they don't like
[16:35] the light on
[16:35] you didn't want
[16:36] to disturb them
[16:36] so you woke up
[16:37] in the middle of the night
[16:39] to go and use
[16:39] the restroom
[16:40] and you are trying
[16:41] to
[16:42] find your way
[16:45] Bible says that
[16:47] Gentiles
[16:47] in their mind
[16:49] they are finding
[16:49] their way
[16:50] Gentiles
[16:52] if you are knowing
[16:53] God
[16:53] I don't care
[16:54] how intelligent
[16:55] you are
[16:56] whether you have
[16:57] PHG or ABC
[16:58] it's like
[16:59] you are groping
[17:01] in the dark
[17:01] it's like
[17:01] having their
[17:02] understanding
[17:03] darkened
[17:04] that's why
[17:06] you have to be
[17:07] very careful
[17:08] who advises you
[17:09] about spiritual things
[17:11] because for all
[17:12] you know
[17:13] their understanding
[17:14] is darkened
[17:15] but they are
[17:16] very formidable
[17:17] they are very
[17:18] convincing
[17:19] in their suppositions
[17:20] some people
[17:21] can be very
[17:22] convincing
[17:22] some people
[17:23] are gifted
[17:24] with speech
[17:25] but after they
[17:27] finish talking
[17:27] I wonder
[17:28] so what did
[17:28] you say
[17:29] it said
[17:31] having their
[17:32] understanding
[17:34] darkened
[17:34] being
[17:35] oh
[17:36] just serious
[17:37] yeah
[17:38] when it comes
[17:40] to the life
[17:40] of God
[17:41] some people
[17:41] are aliens
[17:42] it's very
[17:43] foreign
[17:43] that's why
[17:44] when
[17:45] you start
[17:46] serving God
[17:47] people
[17:47] in the world
[17:49] don't understand
[17:49] why are you
[17:50] going to church
[17:50] always
[17:50] what time
[17:53] do you start
[17:53] church
[17:53] two
[17:54] and what's
[17:55] the time
[17:55] it's almost
[17:56] four
[17:56] you are still
[17:56] in church
[17:57] what time
[17:58] do you close
[17:59] we don't
[17:59] know
[17:59] and you see
[18:08] unbelievers
[18:11] think
[18:11] why are you
[18:12] doing this
[18:12] meanwhile
[18:14] they are fine
[18:15] with watching
[18:15] football all day
[18:16] yeah
[18:20] they travel
[18:21] people will
[18:21] travel
[18:22] to broad street
[18:24] yes
[18:24] people will
[18:27] travel
[18:28] people will
[18:28] do anything
[18:29] some of you
[18:30] he said
[18:30] I don't like
[18:31] to travel
[18:31] far to church
[18:32] but you will
[18:33] travel to
[18:33] restaurants
[18:34] and you
[18:35] see
[18:36] when you are
[18:37] doing church
[18:37] they think
[18:38] it's too much
[18:38] there was a
[18:41] time
[18:41] for
[18:42] every day
[18:43] of the year
[18:44] for 365 days
[18:45] plus one month
[18:46] we were having
[18:48] service every day
[18:49] and I was
[18:51] preaching
[18:52] every day
[18:52] and I'm not
[18:54] coming to say
[18:55] the same things
[18:55] yesterday
[18:56] I was preaching
[18:57] every day
[18:58] and we are not
[18:58] tired
[18:59] we start the
[19:00] service at
[19:00] 7 and finish
[19:01] at 10
[19:02] sometimes
[19:02] 10.30
[19:03] yes
[19:04] and every day
[19:06] service
[19:07] and people
[19:07] will be saying
[19:07] how can you
[19:09] go to
[19:09] service every
[19:09] day
[19:10] how can you
[19:11] be watching
[19:11] tv every
[19:11] day
[19:12] but you
[19:14] watch tv
[19:15] every day
[19:15] yeah but
[19:16] that's tv
[19:17] but that's
[19:18] church
[19:19] and I get
[19:22] more from
[19:22] church than
[19:23] when I
[19:23] watch tv
[19:23] but how
[19:27] can a
[19:27] church be
[19:28] go you
[19:28] can open
[19:28] every day
[19:29] just go
[19:30] yeah
[19:33] just go
[19:35] peace
[19:35] every day
[19:36] and tv
[19:37] every day
[19:38] now 24
[19:38] 7
[19:39] every day
[19:39] tv is
[19:40] good
[19:40] so what
[19:41] is it
[19:42] that I
[19:42] can do
[19:43] but when
[19:44] others do
[19:44] it's okay
[19:44] and they
[19:48] feel
[19:48] you are
[19:49] wasting your
[19:50] time with
[19:50] god
[19:50] excuse me
[19:51] wasting my
[19:52] time
[19:52] how do you
[19:54] define wasting
[19:54] of time
[19:55] when I
[19:58] wasn't going
[19:58] to church
[19:58] I was going
[19:59] around
[20:00] and that
[20:01] you never
[20:01] said I was
[20:02] wasting my
[20:02] time
[20:02] now that
[20:06] I found
[20:06] what brings
[20:07] meaning to
[20:07] life
[20:08] now that
[20:09] my life
[20:09] is a
[20:10] guttum
[20:10] abstraction
[20:11] now that
[20:12] I'm happiest
[20:13] in my life
[20:14] than ever
[20:14] what makes
[20:16] me what
[20:16] is making
[20:17] me happy
[20:17] life is
[20:18] not meaningful
[20:19] to me
[20:19] you are
[20:20] telling me
[20:20] I'm doing
[20:20] it too
[20:21] much
[20:21] do you
[20:23] know what
[20:23] because of
[20:24] their way
[20:25] of reasoning
[20:26] there are
[20:28] people who
[20:28] tell you
[20:29] they are
[20:29] pastors
[20:30] they are
[20:30] Christians
[20:31] and they
[20:31] don't see
[20:32] why you
[20:32] should be
[20:33] in church
[20:33] for more
[20:33] than one
[20:33] hour
[20:34] but football
[20:36] is even
[20:37] football
[20:37] it takes
[20:39] you
[20:39] 90 minutes
[20:40] yes
[20:41] I don't
[20:42] understand
[20:43] I don't
[20:44] understand
[20:44] I don't
[20:46] understand
[20:46] yeah
[20:48] telling me
[20:49] church is
[20:49] too far
[20:50] but
[20:51] restaurant
[20:52] you've been
[20:53] you used
[20:53] to travel
[20:54] and even
[20:54] come and
[20:55] take pictures
[20:55] at
[20:55] Harkazan
[20:56] just
[20:59] pictures
[21:00] and look
[21:02] here's
[21:03] in
[21:03] metropole
[21:03] you come
[21:04] in here
[21:04] come in
[21:05] underground
[21:05] you can
[21:06] basement
[21:06] to come
[21:06] and take
[21:07] pictures
[21:07] you won't
[21:07] do it
[21:08] come and
[21:08] worship
[21:08] you won't
[21:09] do it
[21:09] you used
[21:10] to take
[21:10] pictures
[21:10] here
[21:10] but you
[21:14] see
[21:14] the world
[21:15] because of
[21:16] the darkness
[21:17] of their
[21:18] minds
[21:18] think that
[21:19] we
[21:20] are wrong
[21:22] and they
[21:23] use words
[21:23] like
[21:23] you are
[21:24] being
[21:24] brainwashed
[21:25] oh yes
[21:27] my brain
[21:27] needs a lot
[21:28] of washing
[21:28] my brain
[21:34] needs a lot
[21:34] of washing
[21:35] by the
[21:35] word of
[21:36] God
[21:36] by the
[21:37] word of
[21:38] God
[21:38] by the
[21:39] word of
[21:39] God
[21:40] addictions
[21:41] people have
[21:43] all kinds
[21:43] of addiction
[21:44] for once
[21:45] in your
[21:45] life
[21:45] you have
[21:46] been able
[21:46] to go
[21:47] six months
[21:48] without
[21:48] that addiction
[21:50] addiction
[21:50] addiction
[21:51] problem
[21:51] and such
[21:52] freedom
[21:52] the more
[21:54] you are
[21:54] why won't
[21:55] you push
[21:56] yourself
[21:56] more
[21:56] into it
[21:57] does that
[21:58] mean that
[21:58] all you
[21:59] do is
[21:59] being in
[22:00] church
[22:00] it's
[22:01] not
[22:01] realistic
[22:01] we will
[22:02] close
[22:03] will you
[22:03] stay here
[22:03] no
[22:04] the
[22:04] security
[22:05] will sack
[22:05] you
[22:05] so we
[22:06] are not
[22:06] always
[22:06] in
[22:07] church
[22:07] but I'll
[22:08] grab it
[22:09] with both
[22:09] my arms
[22:10] and legs
[22:10] any opportunity
[22:12] to have
[22:12] church
[22:13] that's why
[22:13] some people
[22:14] are so
[22:14] determined
[22:15] to serve
[22:16] God
[22:16] sometimes
[22:16] you come
[22:17] to church
[22:17] you are
[22:17] in a hurry
[22:17] to go
[22:17] where are you
[22:18] going
[22:18] wait
[22:26] think about
[22:27] it
[22:27] doesn't mean
[22:27] that we
[22:28] it's different
[22:29] if you have
[22:29] an exam
[22:30] if you have
[22:31] exam
[22:31] you shouldn't
[22:32] spend too
[22:32] much time
[22:33] out
[22:33] just come
[22:34] hit
[22:35] and run
[22:35] when we close
[22:36] tell them
[22:37] we'll talk
[22:37] later
[22:37] bye
[22:38] because you
[22:39] have an exam
[22:40] you have an
[22:41] exam
[22:41] the coming
[22:42] week
[22:42] so if you
[22:43] have exam
[22:43] coming
[22:44] week
[22:44] you should
[22:45] leave
[22:45] as soon
[22:46] as we
[22:46] close
[22:46] run
[22:46] out
[22:47] but you
[22:47] see what
[22:48] I'm talking
[22:48] about
[22:48] what do you
[22:52] spend your
[22:52] time doing
[22:53] video games
[22:56] or gym
[22:57] how long
[22:58] do you
[22:58] spend
[22:59] in the
[22:59] gym
[22:59] after work
[23:02] what do
[23:02] you do
[23:02] TV
[23:03] social media
[23:06] TikTok
[23:08] you keep
[23:09] doing
[23:11] scrolling
[23:11] four hours
[23:13] scrolling
[23:14] scrolling
[23:15] and you
[23:16] have enough
[23:17] time to
[23:17] even
[23:17] comment
[23:18] some people
[23:25] they are
[23:25] scrolling
[23:25] to keep
[23:26] commenting
[23:26] keep
[23:27] commenting
[23:27] waste
[23:28] of your
[23:29] life
[23:29] waste
[23:31] of your
[23:31] life
[23:32] and you
[23:32] don't read
[23:33] your Bible
[23:33] you don't
[23:35] have time
[23:35] and look
[23:36] some of us
[23:37] you struggle
[23:38] to pray
[23:39] privately
[23:39] you struggle
[23:41] to read
[23:41] your Bible
[23:42] privately
[23:42] when we
[23:43] come to
[23:43] church
[23:43] why don't
[23:44] you take
[23:44] advantage
[23:45] and just
[23:45] bask in
[23:46] the
[23:46] environment
[23:47] atmosphere
[23:47] just in
[23:49] case an
[23:49] energy
[23:50] or strength
[23:51] will rise
[23:52] in you
[23:53] to be able
[23:54] to take
[23:54] it privately
[23:55] and practice
[23:56] the word
[23:56] of God
[23:57] read the
[23:58] word of
[23:58] God
[23:58] and pray
[23:59] privately
[23:59] it is never
[24:02] a waste of
[24:03] time spending
[24:03] time in
[24:04] church
[24:04] unless the
[24:06] word of
[24:06] God is not
[24:06] being taught
[24:07] that one
[24:09] is a waste
[24:09] of time
[24:10] some of
[24:18] us have
[24:18] lived our
[24:20] lives
[24:20] like this
[24:22] church
[24:22] and I
[24:24] love it
[24:25] I've not
[24:27] lost anything
[24:28] so
[24:29] it says
[24:31] that
[24:31] having their
[24:32] understanding
[24:33] darkened
[24:34] being
[24:35] alienated
[24:35] from
[24:36] what
[24:36] not from
[24:38] life in
[24:39] UK
[24:39] but the
[24:41] life of
[24:42] God
[24:42] watch this
[24:43] that means
[24:43] there's a
[24:44] certain life
[24:44] in God
[24:45] which others
[24:46] don't have
[24:47] and that
[24:49] is why
[24:50] the
[24:50] understanding
[24:51] is darkened
[24:51] because this
[24:52] light
[24:53] enlightenment
[24:53] of understanding
[24:54] comes first
[24:55] of all
[24:56] from the
[24:56] life of
[24:57] God
[24:58] Bible said
[24:59] in him
[24:59] was life
[25:00] John chapter
[25:01] 1 verse
[25:02] 4 and
[25:03] the life
[25:04] was the
[25:04] light
[25:05] the life
[25:06] was the
[25:06] light
[25:07] of man
[25:08] John 1
[25:09] 4 let's
[25:10] already
[25:10] allow
[25:11] let's go
[25:11] I thought
[25:16] you would
[25:16] have read
[25:16] it louder
[25:17] in him
[25:18] was life
[25:18] and the
[25:19] life
[25:19] was the
[25:20] light
[25:20] of man
[25:21] the life
[25:22] in him
[25:22] is what
[25:23] gives us
[25:23] illumination
[25:24] so that's
[25:25] what lightens
[25:26] your
[25:26] understanding
[25:27] so your
[25:28] understanding
[25:29] is not
[25:29] darkened
[25:29] when the
[25:30] life of
[25:31] God
[25:31] gets into
[25:32] you
[25:32] your
[25:32] understanding
[25:33] becomes
[25:33] bright
[25:34] suddenly
[25:37] you begin
[25:37] to understand
[25:38] properly
[25:38] so
[25:42] he said
[25:42] they have
[25:43] their
[25:44] understanding
[25:45] darkened
[25:45] being
[25:46] alienated
[25:47] that causes
[25:48] the alienation
[25:49] from the
[25:49] life of
[25:50] God
[25:50] 1 John
[25:51] chapter 5
[25:52] verse 12
[25:53] John
[25:54] chapter 3
[25:55] verse 16
[25:56] John
[25:56] chapter 3
[25:57] verse 36
[25:58] John
[25:59] chapter 10
[25:59] verse 10
[26:00] Colossians
[26:01] chapter 3
[26:01] verse 4
[26:03] 1 John
[26:05] chapter 5
[26:06] verse 12
[26:06] that's already
[26:08] allowed
[26:08] logic
[26:15] let's read the
[26:20] first line
[26:20] one more
[26:23] time
[26:24] it's like
[26:28] he who has
[26:29] a book
[26:30] or he who
[26:32] has a suit
[26:33] can come for
[26:34] the party
[26:35] or can
[26:36] come for
[26:36] the event
[26:37] he who
[26:37] does not
[26:38] have a
[26:38] suit
[26:38] cannot
[26:39] come
[26:39] that
[26:40] means
[26:40] you must
[26:41] be alive
[26:41] first
[26:42] to have
[26:44] the suit
[26:44] in other
[26:45] two
[26:46] do you
[26:46] understand
[26:46] that
[26:47] you have
[26:47] to be
[26:48] alive
[26:48] because you
[26:49] are not
[26:49] dead
[26:49] so he
[26:51] said
[26:51] he who
[26:51] has
[26:52] the
[26:52] son
[26:52] to have
[26:53] the
[26:53] son
[26:54] you must
[26:54] be alive
[26:55] to have
[26:55] him
[26:55] oh
[26:58] some of
[26:58] you are
[26:58] not
[26:59] getting
[26:59] it
[26:59] how can
[27:01] you be
[27:01] dead
[27:01] and you
[27:01] have
[27:02] something
[27:02] you must
[27:05] be alive
[27:05] to have
[27:06] so if
[27:08] you have
[27:08] the son
[27:10] you must
[27:11] be alive
[27:11] to have
[27:11] the son
[27:12] and he
[27:12] said as
[27:13] soon as
[27:13] you have
[27:14] the son
[27:14] or you
[27:15] get the
[27:16] son
[27:16] what you
[27:16] get
[27:17] life
[27:17] but I'm
[27:19] not at
[27:19] the cemetery
[27:20] John 10
[27:23] 10
[27:23] Jesus said
[27:23] the son
[27:24] the thief
[27:26] comes to
[27:26] steal
[27:27] kill
[27:27] and destroy
[27:28] but I have
[27:29] come
[27:29] that he
[27:30] did you
[27:31] think he
[27:32] was standing
[27:32] at the
[27:32] cemetery
[27:33] when he
[27:33] was saying
[27:33] this
[27:34] he was
[27:35] talking to
[27:35] human beings
[27:36] but they
[27:37] have life
[27:38] but that's
[27:38] not the
[27:39] life he's
[27:39] talking about
[27:40] that's
[27:41] that
[27:41] it says
[27:42] that he
[27:42] who has
[27:43] the son
[27:43] even though
[27:44] you are
[27:44] alive
[27:45] there's a
[27:45] certain
[27:46] life you
[27:46] don't
[27:46] have
[27:46] but how
[27:49] do you
[27:49] get it
[27:50] if you
[27:50] have the
[27:51] son
[27:51] you have
[27:52] the life
[27:53] that's
[27:53] why it
[27:54] says that
[27:54] being
[27:55] alienated
[27:56] from the
[27:56] life
[27:57] of God
[27:57] they don't
[28:00] have the
[28:00] God
[28:01] kind of
[28:02] life
[28:02] Ephesians
[28:02] chapter 2
[28:03] verse 1
[28:05] it says
[28:06] that
[28:06] and you
[28:07] has he
[28:08] quickened
[28:08] who were
[28:09] dead
[28:09] and you
[28:10] he made
[28:11] alive
[28:11] who were
[28:12] dead
[28:13] in your
[28:14] trespasses
[28:15] and sins
[28:15] ah
[28:16] he made
[28:17] you alive
[28:17] you were
[28:18] dead
[28:18] when did
[28:18] I die
[28:19] when did
[28:21] I die
[28:22] so long
[28:22] as I'm
[28:22] concerned
[28:23] and I've
[28:23] never
[28:23] died
[28:23] but anyone
[28:26] who is
[28:27] not in
[28:28] Christ
[28:28] anyone
[28:29] who does
[28:29] not have
[28:30] the son
[28:31] because we
[28:31] saw it
[28:32] if he was
[28:33] 1st John
[28:34] chapter 5
[28:35] he who
[28:36] has
[28:37] the son
[28:38] he who
[28:40] has the
[28:40] son
[28:41] what do
[28:41] you have
[28:42] life
[28:42] if you
[28:43] have the
[28:44] son
[28:44] you have
[28:44] life
[28:45] if you
[28:47] have the
[28:48] son
[28:48] John
[28:49] 3
[28:49] 16
[28:49] let's
[28:50] go
[28:50] but have
[28:58] what
[28:59] but have
[29:01] what
[29:01] a life
[29:03] that cannot
[29:04] be destroyed
[29:04] is called
[29:05] zoe
[29:06] the life
[29:07] of God
[29:08] the very
[29:08] life of
[29:09] God
[29:09] is what
[29:10] you get
[29:11] when you
[29:11] have
[29:11] Christ
[29:11] your nose
[29:14] might be
[29:14] the same
[29:15] your color
[29:16] complexion
[29:16] might be
[29:17] the same
[29:17] your hair
[29:18] might be
[29:18] the same
[29:19] your eyes
[29:19] might be
[29:20] the same
[29:20] your
[29:21] height
[29:22] might be
[29:23] the same
[29:24] well it
[29:24] will be
[29:24] the same
[29:25] nothing
[29:26] physically
[29:26] changes
[29:27] about you
[29:28] but something
[29:29] has happened
[29:30] in your
[29:30] inner man
[29:31] that's called
[29:33] so when you
[29:33] come to
[29:34] Jesus
[29:34] what you
[29:35] get is
[29:36] the life
[29:36] of God
[29:37] the life
[29:38] of God
[29:39] and you
[29:39] begin to
[29:40] that's why
[29:40] he said
[29:40] if any man
[29:41] be in Christ
[29:42] he said
[29:42] new creation
[29:43] so that's
[29:44] when you
[29:45] now begin
[29:46] to grow
[29:46] that life
[29:47] through fellowship
[29:48] through the
[29:49] word of God
[29:50] through prayer
[29:50] through sharing
[29:52] the life
[29:52] you begin
[29:53] to grow
[29:53] it
[29:53] you begin
[29:54] to
[29:54] that's what
[29:54] is called
[29:55] spiritual
[29:55] maturity
[29:56] that life
[29:58] in you
[29:58] must grow
[29:58] and must
[29:59] begin
[29:59] to spread
[30:00] every human
[30:01] being
[30:01] is a soul
[30:02] spirit
[30:03] and a body
[30:03] so
[30:04] every human
[30:05] being
[30:06] is what
[30:06] is called
[30:08] tripartite
[30:11] three parts
[30:11] okay
[30:13] first
[30:13] thessalonians
[30:13] chapter 4
[30:14] verse 24
[30:14] verse 23
[30:15] sorry
[30:16] said now
[30:16] may the
[30:17] God of
[30:17] peace
[30:17] himself
[30:18] sanctify
[30:18] you
[30:19] completely
[30:19] and may
[30:20] your
[30:20] whole
[30:21] spirit
[30:22] soul
[30:22] and body
[30:23] so
[30:23] you have
[30:24] you have
[30:24] three parts
[30:25] you have
[30:25] your spirit
[30:26] soul
[30:26] and body
[30:27] every human
[30:28] being has
[30:29] got spirit
[30:29] every human
[30:30] being has
[30:30] got a soul
[30:31] and every
[30:31] human being
[30:32] has got a body
[30:32] when you die
[30:34] it's your body
[30:34] that dies
[30:35] your soul
[30:36] lives on
[30:36] and in your
[30:39] spirit
[30:40] you have
[30:40] connectivity
[30:41] with the
[30:42] spiritual
[30:42] world
[30:43] and that
[30:43] demons
[30:44] so when
[30:44] demons
[30:45] invade your
[30:45] life
[30:45] they go
[30:46] into your
[30:47] spirit
[30:47] if you
[30:48] don't have
[30:48] Christ
[30:49] and they
[30:50] can influence
[30:51] your soul
[30:52] your soul
[30:52] is where
[30:53] your mind
[30:53] is
[30:54] where
[30:54] I will
[30:55] I will
[30:55] I will
[30:56] do it
[30:56] I will
[30:56] where your
[30:57] will is
[30:58] and where
[30:58] your feelings
[30:59] some of you
[31:00] don't know
[31:00] why you feel
[31:01] this way
[31:01] about that
[31:01] guy
[31:01] demons
[31:02] are influencing
[31:03] your soul
[31:03] yeah
[31:04] but your soul
[31:06] can be saved
[31:07] do you understand
[31:08] that
[31:08] so your
[31:09] intellect
[31:10] the way
[31:10] you think
[31:11] the way
[31:12] you process
[31:12] things
[31:13] is in your
[31:13] soul
[31:14] the way
[31:15] the decisions
[31:16] you make
[31:17] your way
[31:18] I will go
[31:19] there
[31:19] I will go
[31:20] you know
[31:20] some of you
[31:20] sometimes
[31:21] you say
[31:21] no
[31:22] I will do it
[31:23] I don't care
[31:23] what anyone
[31:24] think
[31:24] I will do it
[31:25] and it's bad
[31:25] you are not
[31:26] supposed to buy
[31:26] I will
[31:27] I will
[31:28] or sometimes
[31:28] you don't want
[31:29] to do it
[31:29] but later
[31:30] I will do it
[31:32] that's in your
[31:33] soul
[31:33] so your soul
[31:35] is made up
[31:35] of three parts
[31:36] your soul
[31:37] is made up
[31:38] of your
[31:38] will
[31:39] your
[31:40] intellect
[31:42] and your
[31:42] feelings
[31:43] that's why
[31:45] you cannot
[31:46] serve God
[31:46] based just
[31:47] on your
[31:47] feelings
[31:48] because feelings
[31:51] can change
[31:51] and can be
[31:52] influenced
[31:52] don't make
[31:54] major life
[31:55] decisions
[31:55] based on how
[31:56] you feel
[31:57] don't make
[31:59] major
[32:00] permanent
[32:01] life decisions
[32:02] don't choose
[32:03] someone you
[32:04] want to marry
[32:04] because of
[32:05] how I just
[32:05] feel about
[32:06] him
[32:06] what if
[32:08] he's a thief
[32:09] how many
[32:12] of you
[32:13] genuinely
[32:13] have
[32:14] feelings
[32:15] for the
[32:15] wrong
[32:15] person
[32:16] before
[32:16] feelings
[32:18] is natural
[32:19] most of
[32:19] you are
[32:20] not lifting
[32:20] your hands
[32:20] you are
[32:21] the ones
[32:21] who have
[32:21] been doing
[32:21] it more
[32:22] listen
[32:24] feelings
[32:26] is part
[32:26] of life
[32:26] but
[32:29] if your
[32:30] feelings
[32:30] become your
[32:31] master
[32:31] you are
[32:32] in trouble
[32:32] if your
[32:34] feelings
[32:35] control you
[32:36] addiction
[32:37] your feelings
[32:38] are controlling
[32:39] you
[32:39] anyway
[32:41] so in
[32:42] your
[32:42] soul
[32:43] you have
[32:45] your feelings
[32:46] you have
[32:47] your intellect
[32:48] and you have
[32:50] your decision
[32:51] making power
[32:52] will
[32:52] in your
[32:54] spirit
[32:55] that's where
[32:56] you have
[32:56] communication
[32:57] with the
[32:58] spiritual world
[32:58] and that's
[33:00] where God
[33:01] Bible says
[33:01] John 4
[33:02] 24
[33:03] God
[33:04] is a
[33:04] spirit
[33:05] and so
[33:06] those who
[33:06] worship him
[33:07] must do
[33:07] it well
[33:08] in spirit
[33:09] and in truth
[33:10] so when you
[33:11] become born
[33:12] again
[33:12] watch this
[33:12] people who
[33:13] don't have
[33:13] born again
[33:14] they are
[33:15] in your
[33:16] spirit
[33:16] there's what
[33:17] is called
[33:17] the life
[33:18] of God
[33:19] or life
[33:20] and then
[33:20] fellowship
[33:21] so when we
[33:22] have fellowship
[33:22] with God
[33:23] it's from
[33:24] our spirit
[33:24] from our
[33:26] spirit
[33:26] Romans chapter
[33:27] 1 verse
[33:27] 9
[33:28] our fellowship
[33:29] with God
[33:29] is from
[33:30] our spirit
[33:31] God is my
[33:32] witness
[33:32] whom I
[33:33] serve
[33:33] how do I
[33:35] serve God
[33:35] I serve
[33:38] with my
[33:39] spirit
[33:40] in the
[33:40] gospel of
[33:41] this
[33:41] you can
[33:41] only relate
[33:42] with God
[33:43] from your
[33:43] spirit
[33:44] so then
[33:46] anytime you
[33:47] become born
[33:47] again
[33:48] your spirit
[33:49] the life
[33:49] of Jesus
[33:50] the life
[33:51] of God
[33:52] come into
[33:53] your spirit
[33:54] but your
[33:55] thinking is
[33:55] still the
[33:56] same
[33:56] your feelings
[34:01] are still
[34:01] the same
[34:01] so you
[34:02] can be born
[34:03] again but
[34:03] you still
[34:03] have feelings
[34:04] for your
[34:04] ex
[34:04] you can
[34:06] be born
[34:08] again and
[34:08] still have
[34:08] feelings for
[34:09] the alcohol
[34:10] you used
[34:10] to drink
[34:11] Jack Daniels
[34:12] Ray and
[34:14] Kesson
[34:15] you can
[34:16] be born
[34:16] again and
[34:17] you still
[34:17] have feelings
[34:18] for watching
[34:19] pornography
[34:19] how many
[34:20] of you since
[34:21] you became
[34:21] born again
[34:22] you have
[34:23] had feelings
[34:24] for watching
[34:24] some wild
[34:25] pornography
[34:26] before
[34:26] yeah
[34:26] look at
[34:28] the hypocrites
[34:28] they are
[34:28] afraid to
[34:29] lift their
[34:30] hands
[34:30] you were
[34:30] last night
[34:31] you were
[34:31] watching it
[34:32] yes
[34:37] so
[34:38] you are
[34:39] born again
[34:40] genuinely
[34:40] but your
[34:41] spirit
[34:42] and your
[34:42] soul
[34:43] needs to
[34:44] be saved
[34:45] transformed
[34:46] so in
[34:47] Romans chapter
[34:48] 12 verse
[34:48] 1 it
[34:49] says I
[34:49] beseech you
[34:50] therefore
[34:50] brethren
[34:51] by the
[34:51] mercies
[34:52] of God
[34:52] that
[34:53] you present
[34:54] your bodies
[34:55] as a
[34:55] holy and
[34:56] acceptable
[34:56] which is
[34:57] original
[34:58] and verse
[34:59] 2 says
[35:00] that
[35:00] and do
[35:01] not conform
[35:02] to this
[35:03] world
[35:03] but be
[35:03] transformed
[35:04] by the
[35:05] renewing
[35:05] of your
[35:06] mind
[35:06] so your
[35:06] mind
[35:07] can be
[35:07] renewed
[35:08] that's
[35:09] why your
[35:09] transformation
[35:10] takes place
[35:10] so you
[35:11] are born
[35:12] again
[35:12] that's why
[35:13] you constantly
[35:14] have to be
[35:14] in church
[35:15] be in fellowship
[35:16] be in bible
[35:17] reading
[35:17] and then as you
[35:18] feed your
[35:19] spirit
[35:19] your spirit
[35:20] as it grows
[35:20] begins to
[35:21] spread into
[35:22] your soul
[35:22] so your spirit
[35:25] is having
[35:25] so the more
[35:26] spiritually matured
[35:27] you are
[35:28] the more the
[35:28] spirit has
[35:29] control over
[35:30] your soul
[35:30] Galatians chapter
[35:32] 5
[35:32] Galatians chapter
[35:33] 5 verse
[35:34] 16 it
[35:35] says that
[35:36] walk in the
[35:37] spirit
[35:37] and you
[35:38] will not
[35:38] wash it
[35:39] the desires
[35:39] of the flesh
[35:40] is not talking
[35:41] about the body
[35:42] the flesh
[35:42] is the seat
[35:43] of you
[35:43] the flesh
[35:44] is your soul
[35:45] outside of God
[35:46] when people say
[35:48] as for you
[35:48] you don't like
[35:49] friends at all
[35:50] as for you
[35:51] you don't like
[35:51] you're always
[35:52] laughing
[35:52] as for you
[35:53] you are very
[35:53] kind
[35:54] it's you
[35:54] before you
[35:55] were born
[35:55] again
[35:55] that's how
[35:56] you are
[35:56] your temperament
[35:57] your personality
[35:58] the soul
[35:59] is the seat
[36:00] of your personality
[36:01] so you
[36:03] without God
[36:03] is what
[36:04] is called
[36:04] flesh
[36:05] and you
[36:06] flesh
[36:07] in your flesh
[36:08] you naturally
[36:09] never migrate
[36:10] towards God
[36:11] and so you
[36:12] can be born
[36:13] again
[36:13] and still
[36:14] become fleshly
[36:16] it's called
[36:17] carnal
[36:18] Christian
[36:18] you are
[36:20] carnal
[36:20] even though
[36:21] you are born
[36:22] again
[36:22] you are living
[36:22] in the flesh
[36:23] you are living
[36:24] like an
[36:25] unbeliever
[36:26] so you can
[36:27] be born
[36:27] again
[36:28] and still
[36:28] live in
[36:28] the flesh
[36:29] that's why
[36:30] it says
[36:30] that we
[36:30] should make
[36:31] sure we
[36:31] no longer
[36:32] walk
[36:32] as the
[36:33] Gentiles
[36:34] do
[36:35] because
[36:35] they don't
[36:35] have the
[36:36] life of
[36:36] God
[36:36] but
[36:37] it's there
[36:37] see
[36:38] verse 17
[36:39] this I
[36:40] say therefore
[36:40] and testify
[36:41] in the
[36:42] Lord
[36:42] that you
[36:42] should no
[36:43] longer
[36:43] walk
[36:43] as the
[36:44] rest of
[36:44] the
[36:44] Gentiles
[36:45] walk
[36:45] in the
[36:46] futility
[36:46] of their
[36:46] minds
[36:47] next verse
[36:47] having the
[36:48] understanding
[36:49] that is
[36:49] being alienated
[36:50] from the
[36:51] they don't
[36:52] have the
[36:52] life of
[36:52] God
[36:53] in them
[36:53] so they
[36:54] cannot
[36:54] afford
[36:54] to live
[36:55] based
[36:56] on
[36:56] scripture
[36:56] they don't
[36:59] have the
[36:59] life of
[36:59] God
[37:00] but when
[37:00] you are
[37:01] born again
[37:01] you have
[37:02] the life
[37:02] of God
[37:03] repository
[37:04] in you
[37:04] John
[37:06] chapter 3
[37:06] verse 26
[37:07] you have
[37:08] the life
[37:08] of God
[37:09] repository
[37:10] in you
[37:10] said he
[37:11] who believes
[37:11] in the
[37:12] son
[37:12] he who
[37:13] believes
[37:14] in the
[37:14] son
[37:14] what
[37:14] you have
[37:15] life
[37:16] you don't
[37:18] have to
[37:18] do anything
[37:18] just believing
[37:19] Jesus introduces
[37:20] you to the
[37:20] life of
[37:21] God
[37:21] it introduces
[37:23] Galatians
[37:24] sorry
[37:24] Colossians
[37:25] chapter 3
[37:26] verse 4
[37:27] it says
[37:27] Christ is
[37:28] our life
[37:29] so when
[37:32] Christ
[37:32] who is
[37:33] our life
[37:34] appears
[37:36] appears
[37:36] appears
[37:37] appears
[37:38] has appeared
[37:38] here again
[37:39] Christ
[37:41] somebody say
[37:41] Christ is
[37:42] my life
[37:42] Christ is
[37:44] my life
[37:45] so you
[37:47] have the
[37:47] life of
[37:48] God
[37:48] so when
[37:48] you have
[37:49] the life
[37:49] of God
[37:50] now
[37:50] you depend
[37:52] on your
[37:53] spirit
[37:53] watch this
[37:53] you depend
[37:54] on your
[37:55] spirit
[37:55] to live
[37:56] the Christian
[37:57] life
[37:57] so Galatians
[37:59] chapter 5
[37:59] verse 16
[38:00] he said
[38:00] walk in
[38:03] this
[38:03] what does
[38:04] it mean
[38:04] to walk
[38:04] in
[38:04] does it
[38:04] mean you
[38:05] should
[38:05] jump
[38:05] into
[38:05] something
[38:06] or does it
[38:06] mean you
[38:07] should be
[38:07] wearing
[38:07] strange
[38:08] dresses
[38:08] and look
[38:08] hello
[38:11] hmm
[38:12] hmm
[38:14] no no
[38:14] that's not
[38:15] spirit
[38:15] some people
[38:16] they have
[38:17] a mindset
[38:17] that the
[38:18] more you
[38:18] look
[38:19] pious
[38:19] you are
[38:19] spiritual
[38:19] please
[38:20] it's not
[38:21] got to
[38:21] it's not
[38:22] it's
[38:22] you can
[38:22] put up
[38:23] the front
[38:23] and the
[38:25] Pharisees
[38:26] were good
[38:26] at that
[38:26] you can
[38:28] wear a
[38:29] presentation
[38:30] most of
[38:31] us when we
[38:32] come to
[38:32] church
[38:32] you are
[38:33] in your
[38:33] presentation
[38:34] mode
[38:34] you are
[38:36] in your
[38:36] presentation
[38:37] mode
[38:37] that's not
[38:38] the real
[38:38] you
[38:39] that's not
[38:41] the real
[38:41] you
[38:41] let's finish
[38:42] and go
[38:42] home
[38:43] and finish
[38:44] the food
[38:44] you see
[38:44] your attitude
[38:45] sometimes
[38:47] when there's
[38:47] reception
[38:49] and people
[38:50] have been
[38:50] giving you
[38:50] food
[38:51] and they
[38:51] didn't give
[38:52] you some
[38:52] you see
[38:52] your thing
[38:53] comes
[38:53] your thing
[38:54] comes
[38:54] yeah
[38:55] is somebody
[38:55] learning
[38:56] something
[38:56] so
[38:57] Galatians
[38:58] 516
[38:58] says
[38:59] walk
[38:59] in the
[39:00] spirit
[39:00] and you
[39:01] shall not
[39:01] fulfill
[39:02] the desires
[39:02] of the
[39:03] flesh
[39:03] now look
[39:03] at the
[39:04] 17th
[39:04] something
[39:04] interesting
[39:05] is going
[39:05] to happen
[39:05] look at
[39:06] the 17th
[39:07] for the
[39:07] flesh
[39:07] lasts
[39:08] against
[39:09] the
[39:09] spirit
[39:09] now
[39:10] the
[39:10] holy
[39:11] spirit
[39:11] lives
[39:12] in your
[39:12] spirit
[39:13] alright
[39:14] the holy
[39:15] spirit
[39:16] of god
[39:16] when it's
[39:17] coming
[39:17] on you
[39:17] it doesn't
[39:18] come
[39:18] on your
[39:18] body
[39:19] it doesn't
[39:19] come
[39:19] in your
[39:19] soul
[39:20] it comes
[39:20] into your
[39:21] spirit
[39:21] because god
[39:23] it says
[39:23] spirit
[39:23] so in
[39:24] your spirit
[39:25] you have
[39:25] god
[39:26] consciousness
[39:27] in your
[39:28] soul
[39:28] you have
[39:28] self
[39:29] consciousness
[39:29] in your
[39:30] body
[39:31] you have
[39:31] world
[39:31] consciousness
[39:32] you need
[39:33] this body
[39:33] to live
[39:34] in the
[39:34] world
[39:34] it doesn't
[39:35] matter how
[39:36] spiritual
[39:36] you are
[39:36] without
[39:37] this body
[39:37] you can't
[39:38] stay here
[39:38] you are
[39:38] dead
[39:39] that's why
[39:40] a christian
[39:41] must be
[39:41] wise enough
[39:42] to take
[39:43] good care
[39:43] of his
[39:43] body
[39:44] take
[39:46] good care
[39:46] it's
[39:47] right
[39:47] because you
[39:48] need your
[39:49] body to
[39:49] do evangelism
[39:50] you need
[39:53] your body
[39:54] to lead
[39:54] praise and
[39:54] worship
[39:55] you need
[39:56] your body
[39:56] to do
[39:56] the
[39:57] ashram
[39:57] so you
[39:59] take care
[40:00] of your
[40:00] spirit
[40:00] take care
[40:01] of your
[40:01] soul
[40:02] take care
[40:02] of your
[40:03] body
[40:03] you are
[40:03] three
[40:04] past
[40:04] triapathites
[40:05] so you
[40:07] are a
[40:08] spirit
[40:08] you have
[40:09] a soul
[40:10] and you
[40:10] live in
[40:10] a body
[40:10] when the
[40:11] body dies
[40:12] the soul
[40:13] cannot stay
[40:14] here
[40:14] it goes
[40:15] on
[40:15] because the
[40:17] earth
[40:17] to live
[40:17] on this
[40:18] earth
[40:18] that's why
[40:19] spirits
[40:19] they need
[40:20] bodies
[40:20] so that's
[40:21] why spirits
[40:21] like entry
[40:22] into human
[40:23] beings
[40:23] because you
[40:24] can't operate
[40:25] you don't
[40:25] have legal
[40:26] jurisdiction
[40:27] and audacity
[40:28] to operate
[40:29] on this
[40:29] earth
[40:30] without
[40:30] material
[40:31] physical
[40:32] things
[40:32] that's why
[40:35] when it was
[40:35] time for
[40:36] God
[40:36] to save
[40:37] us
[40:37] he needed
[40:38] a body
[40:39] so Hebrews
[40:39] chapter 5
[40:40] it said
[40:41] a body
[40:42] that has
[40:42] prepared
[40:43] for me
[40:43] yes
[40:45] he needed
[40:46] a body
[40:46] you can't
[40:48] exist on
[40:48] this earth
[40:49] without a
[40:50] body
[40:50] it's illegal
[40:51] you are
[40:52] an illegal
[40:53] alien
[40:53] so Satan
[40:55] and the
[40:56] demons
[40:57] they look
[40:58] for human
[40:58] beings
[40:59] to inhabit
[41:00] that's why
[41:01] when the
[41:01] spirit
[41:02] leaves a
[41:03] man
[41:03] he goes
[41:05] into that
[41:06] and he
[41:06] later
[41:06] comes back
[41:07] because
[41:08] their dry
[41:09] places
[41:10] is not
[41:10] good for
[41:10] them
[41:11] because
[41:11] places
[41:12] don't
[41:13] move
[41:13] but
[41:13] human
[41:14] beings
[41:14] move
[41:15] so when
[41:16] Jesus
[41:16] was
[41:16] casting
[41:17] the
[41:17] demon
[41:17] out
[41:18] of
[41:18] the
[41:18] man
[41:18] in
[41:18] the
[41:19] Gadara
[41:19] he said
[41:20] cast us
[41:20] into
[41:21] the
[41:21] pigs
[41:21] we have
[41:22] to be
[41:22] in
[41:22] something
[41:23] that
[41:23] moves
[41:23] we want
[41:24] to dwell
[41:24] in
[41:24] something
[41:25] so
[41:29] he says
[41:34] look at
[41:34] verse 16
[41:35] Galatians
[41:36] chapter 3
[41:37] verse 16
[41:37] verse 17
[41:39] verse 17
[41:40] says that
[41:40] for the
[41:41] flesh
[41:42] lasts
[41:42] against
[41:43] the
[41:43] spirit
[41:43] and
[41:44] the
[41:44] spirit
[41:44] against
[41:44] the
[41:45] flesh
[41:45] and
[41:46] these
[41:47] are
[41:47] contrary
[41:48] one to
[41:48] another
[41:49] so that
[41:49] you do
[41:50] not
[41:50] do
[41:50] the
[41:51] things
[41:51] that
[41:52] you
[41:52] wish
[41:52] so
[41:53] your
[41:53] spirit
[41:54] which
[41:54] I
[41:56] didn't
[41:56] want
[41:56] to
[41:56] go
[41:57] to
[41:57] the
[41:57] permit
[41:57] me
[41:58] to
[41:58] go
[41:58] a
[41:58] little
[41:58] deep
[41:59] permit
[42:00] me
[42:01] just
[42:01] for
[42:01] explanation
[42:02] you see
[42:03] the
[42:03] spirit
[42:03] there
[42:04] he
[42:05] didn't
[42:05] say
[42:05] the
[42:05] Holy
[42:06] Spirit
[42:06] when you
[42:12] read
[42:12] Galatians
[42:12] and
[42:13] Romans
[42:15] from
[42:16] chapter 8
[42:17] most of
[42:17] the time
[42:18] he says
[42:19] the
[42:19] spirit
[42:19] the
[42:20] spirit
[42:21] the
[42:22] spirit
[42:22] what's
[42:23] the
[42:23] difference
[42:24] between
[42:24] the
[42:24] spirit
[42:25] and
[42:26] the
[42:26] Holy
[42:26] Spirit
[42:27] in
[42:30] first
[42:30] you want
[42:31] to know
[42:31] in
[42:33] first
[42:34] Corinthians
[42:34] chapter 6
[42:35] verse 17
[42:35] it says
[42:37] that he
[42:37] who is
[42:38] joined
[42:39] to the
[42:39] Lord
[42:40] no
[42:42] one
[42:42] body
[42:42] so
[42:45] in
[42:45] your
[42:46] spirit
[42:46] you
[42:46] have
[42:47] union
[42:47] with
[42:48] Christ
[42:48] when
[42:49] you
[42:49] are
[42:49] born
[42:49] again
[42:49] the
[42:50] life
[42:52] of
[42:52] God
[42:52] that
[42:52] has
[42:52] come
[42:53] into
[42:53] you
[42:53] is
[42:54] not
[42:55] an
[42:56] isolated
[42:56] situation
[42:57] once
[42:58] he
[42:58] comes
[42:58] how
[42:59] many
[42:59] of
[42:59] you
[42:59] have
[42:59] had
[42:59] tea
[43:00] before
[43:00] tea
[43:01] tea
[43:02] yeah
[43:03] how do
[43:04] you prepare
[43:04] tea
[43:05] tea bag
[43:07] and you put
[43:08] the tea
[43:08] bag in
[43:08] and then
[43:10] that's
[43:10] tea
[43:10] that's
[43:10] water
[43:11] does it
[43:12] become
[43:12] tea
[43:13] just by
[43:14] putting
[43:14] hot
[43:14] water
[43:15] tea
[43:15] bag
[43:16] in
[43:16] hot
[43:16] water
[43:16] what
[43:17] happens
[43:18] it
[43:19] becomes
[43:19] tea
[43:20] it
[43:20] does
[43:20] what
[43:20] it
[43:21] fuses
[43:21] so
[43:23] if you
[43:23] remove
[43:23] the
[43:23] tea
[43:23] bag
[43:24] it
[43:24] stops
[43:24] it
[43:25] still
[43:26] tea
[43:26] oh
[43:27] so
[43:28] can
[43:28] you
[43:28] get
[43:28] your
[43:28] water
[43:29] back
[43:29] are you
[43:30] sure
[43:31] you can't
[43:32] separate it
[43:33] are you
[43:34] sure
[43:34] you can't
[43:37] get your
[43:37] water
[43:37] back
[43:37] unless you
[43:38] go through
[43:38] the process
[43:39] of evaporation
[43:40] and all that
[43:41] precipitation
[43:41] and all
[43:42] even
[43:42] but
[43:43] so
[43:43] when
[43:44] when you
[43:45] become
[43:45] born again
[43:45] the spirit
[43:46] of Christ
[43:47] Christ
[43:48] you and
[43:48] Christ
[43:48] have become
[43:49] like tea
[43:50] hot water
[43:52] and the
[43:53] tea
[43:53] it's he
[43:56] who is
[43:56] joined to
[43:56] the Lord
[43:57] in the
[43:57] spirit
[43:57] is one
[43:58] spirit
[43:59] who is
[43:59] joined to
[44:00] the Lord
[44:00] is one
[44:01] spirit
[44:01] so
[44:01] it's like
[44:02] this is the
[44:03] spirit of
[44:03] the Lord
[44:03] and this
[44:04] is your
[44:04] spirit
[44:05] and then
[44:05] you are
[44:05] one
[44:06] spirit
[44:06] you can't
[44:06] separate
[44:07] them
[44:07] you can't
[44:08] you can't
[44:09] separate
[44:10] I'm trying
[44:11] to teach you
[44:12] something
[44:12] you can't
[44:13] separate
[44:13] and most
[44:14] of the
[44:14] time
[44:14] when you
[44:15] come across
[44:16] back to
[44:16] Galatians
[44:17] when you
[44:18] come across
[44:18] the flesh
[44:19] last against
[44:20] the spirit
[44:21] that
[44:22] okay
[44:22] Romans chapter
[44:23] 8 verse
[44:24] 14
[44:24] or verse
[44:25] 16
[44:25] as many
[44:33] as are
[44:33] led
[44:34] by the
[44:35] spirit
[44:35] of
[44:35] Lord
[44:36] verse
[44:38] 16
[44:39] so you
[44:44] see
[44:44] we have
[44:45] our human
[44:45] spirit
[44:46] and we
[44:46] have
[44:47] the
[44:47] spirit
[44:47] so
[44:48] the
[44:48] spirit
[44:49] bears
[44:50] witness
[44:50] most of
[44:51] the time
[44:51] when we
[44:51] say the
[44:52] spirit
[44:52] it's not
[44:52] just
[44:52] the
[44:53] Holy
[44:53] Spirit
[44:53] it is
[44:54] the
[44:54] Holy
[44:54] Spirit
[44:55] but
[44:55] it's
[44:55] called
[44:55] the
[44:56] indwelling
[44:57] spirit
[44:57] the
[44:58] spirit
[44:58] of
[44:59] God
[44:59] who
[44:59] is
[44:59] living
[44:59] in
[45:00] you
[45:00] usually
[45:01] is
[45:01] called
[45:02] the
[45:02] spirit
[45:02] and
[45:02] sometimes
[45:03] when
[45:04] the word
[45:05] the spirit
[45:05] is used
[45:05] it's
[45:06] the
[45:06] mingled
[45:08] spirit
[45:08] so your
[45:09] spirit
[45:09] and the
[45:09] Holy
[45:09] Spirit
[45:10] become
[45:10] so in
[45:11] your
[45:11] spirit
[45:11] the spirit
[45:12] is in
[45:13] you
[45:13] so when
[45:14] it says
[45:14] the flesh
[45:15] lasts
[45:15] against
[45:16] the spirit
[45:16] it's
[45:17] like
[45:17] the flesh
[45:18] stands
[45:18] and it's
[45:18] trying
[45:18] to fight
[45:19] your
[45:19] spirit
[45:20] who is
[45:21] indwelled
[45:21] by the
[45:22] Holy
[45:22] Spirit
[45:22] so
[45:24] is it
[45:25] fighting
[45:26] your
[45:26] spirit
[45:26] or the
[45:27] spirit
[45:27] of God
[45:27] your
[45:28] spirit
[45:28] and the
[45:28] spirit
[45:28] of God
[45:29] have become
[45:29] one
[45:29] like
[45:30] tea
[45:30] that's an
[45:32] important word
[45:33] mingled
[45:34] they have become
[45:36] mingled
[45:36] he who is joined to the Lord
[45:38] is one spirit
[45:39] not one flesh
[45:40] one spirit
[45:41] so we are mingled
[45:43] that you
[45:44] you can't separate
[45:45] me from
[45:45] what shall
[45:46] separate us
[45:47] from the love
[45:48] of God
[45:49] which is in
[45:49] Christ Jesus
[45:50] so we are
[45:52] mingled
[45:52] and intertwined
[45:54] and one
[45:54] and so
[45:55] when you become
[45:56] born again
[45:57] that is where
[45:58] the life
[45:58] the life of Christ
[45:59] that comes into you
[46:00] is the spirit
[46:01] of Christ
[46:01] you have the
[46:02] indwelling spirit
[46:03] in you
[46:04] the indwelling
[46:06] spirit of God
[46:07] he dwells
[46:08] in you
[46:08] that's what makes
[46:09] you a child
[46:10] of God
[46:10] that's what makes
[46:11] you a special
[46:12] creation
[46:12] that's what makes
[46:13] you a new creation
[46:14] that's what makes
[46:15] you an extraordinary
[46:16] person
[46:16] that's what makes
[46:17] you
[46:17] that gives you
[46:18] the relationship
[46:19] with God
[46:19] that's what makes
[46:20] you be able
[46:20] to pray to God
[46:21] and that's why
[46:22] you go to heaven
[46:23] you are not going
[46:26] to heaven
[46:26] because you
[46:27] behave 100%
[46:28] right
[46:28] you are going
[46:29] to heaven
[46:29] because
[46:29] your spirit
[46:30] is
[46:31] so
[46:33] listen
[46:35] listen
[46:35] listen
[46:36] listen
[46:37] you
[46:38] I want to
[46:39] I want to
[46:40] teach you something
[46:41] deeper
[46:41] in your spirit
[46:42] watch this
[46:43] in your spirit
[46:45] you have
[46:45] perfection
[46:46] so when you
[46:49] become born again
[46:50] you never
[46:51] become better
[46:52] in your spirit
[46:53] any day
[46:54] than the day
[46:55] you got Christ
[46:55] so the very moment
[47:00] you become born again
[47:01] the spirit of God
[47:02] is called
[47:04] the life of God
[47:05] Christ himself
[47:07] he says that
[47:07] in John chapter 14
[47:09] verse 21
[47:10] and 23
[47:11] in John chapter 14
[47:12] verse 21
[47:13] and 23
[47:13] he said
[47:14] he who
[47:14] he who has my commandments
[47:16] and keeps them
[47:17] it is he who loves me
[47:19] and he who loves me
[47:20] I will love
[47:21] will be loved
[47:22] be
[47:23] will be loved
[47:23] by my father
[47:24] and we will love him
[47:25] and manifest ourselves
[47:27] to him
[47:28] look at verse 23
[47:29] ah
[47:29] Jesus said
[47:31] if you love me
[47:32] if anyone loves me
[47:35] he will keep my words
[47:36] and my father
[47:37] will love him
[47:38] and we will come
[47:39] and make our home
[47:41] inside the
[47:41] we will come
[47:46] me the father
[47:47] me Jesus
[47:48] and the father
[47:49] and the holy spirit
[47:50] we will come
[47:50] and live inside the person
[47:52] then the person
[47:53] becomes a temple of God
[47:54] so
[48:03] when you are born again
[48:05] you have the spirit of God
[48:08] indwelling you
[48:09] and it's mingled
[48:10] with your spirit
[48:11] that's why
[48:12] you will never be
[48:13] more beautiful
[48:14] in the spirit
[48:15] than you are
[48:15] since you became born again
[48:16] so
[48:18] in my spirit
[48:19] and your spirit
[48:21] I'm not better than you
[48:22] you are not better than
[48:23] but the difference
[48:25] is in our soul
[48:25] because now
[48:30] if you can live the life
[48:32] from your spirit
[48:33] Christian life
[48:35] is lived from
[48:36] the spirit
[48:37] I thank God
[48:38] whom I serve
[48:40] from my spirit
[48:42] the time is coming
[48:45] and now
[48:46] is when the truth
[48:47] shall worship the father
[48:49] in the spirit
[48:50] and in the truth
[48:51] so
[48:55] it's not an ideology
[48:57] it's a
[48:58] it's a reality
[49:00] it's tangibility
[49:01] it's real
[49:02] so you see
[49:03] those who practice religion
[49:05] when they see us
[49:06] living a Christian life
[49:07] they think
[49:08] it is an ideology
[49:10] but you know
[49:12] that's why
[49:12] sometimes they try
[49:13] to convince you
[49:13] oh you are praying too much
[49:14] you are good
[49:15] but the thing
[49:16] is not an ideology
[49:17] it's a breath of life
[49:19] the breath of life
[49:20] the life of God
[49:21] is inside you
[49:23] the life of God
[49:24] has consumed you
[49:25] inside you
[49:26] you are not trying
[49:28] to be something
[49:29] you are
[49:31] you are
[49:34] you are
[49:36] so it says
[49:38] that
[49:39] the spirit
[49:41] Galatians chapter
[49:43] 5 verse 17
[49:44] it says
[49:45] the flesh
[49:46] lasts against
[49:48] the spirit
[49:48] so
[49:49] and
[49:49] the spirit
[49:50] the flesh
[49:51] and the spirit
[49:52] against the flesh
[49:53] so that
[49:56] these are contrary
[49:57] to each other
[49:58] so when you want
[49:59] to live your spiritual life
[50:00] you have to ignore yourself
[50:01] and enter your spirit
[50:04] if you don't enter your spirit
[50:07] you are born again
[50:08] but you still be masturbating
[50:09] you are preaching
[50:11] you are born again
[50:12] and you still be kissing somebody
[50:14] who you are not married to
[50:16] you are born again
[50:18] and you don't understand
[50:18] why
[50:18] I feel so
[50:20] honey every morning
[50:21] so
[50:22] your
[50:23] flesh
[50:24] lasts against the spirit
[50:25] and the spirit
[50:26] lasts
[50:27] the word is
[50:27] the spirit is not lasting
[50:28] but the spirit is also
[50:30] what it's doing
[50:32] the flesh doesn't like it
[50:33] so the spirit is moving
[50:34] in a direction
[50:35] and the flesh
[50:36] now
[50:36] let me show
[50:37] I've explained this before
[50:38] so
[50:40] that's your flesh
[50:42] and that's your spirit
[50:44] what does
[50:47] from the text
[50:48] what does the flesh do
[50:49] against the spirit
[50:50] and what does the spirit do
[50:52] also
[50:54] so
[50:56] your flesh wants to go here
[50:57] your spirit wants to go here
[50:58] who wins at the end of the day
[51:00] which other one is strong
[51:01] so the more
[51:04] you read your bible
[51:05] the more you pray
[51:06] the more you fast
[51:08] the more you are in church
[51:10] your spirit is winning
[51:11] your spirit is winning
[51:13] the more you stop coming to church
[51:14] the more you stop praying
[51:16] and the more
[51:17] oh
[51:17] I don't want to fornicate
[51:19] but I don't know why
[51:19] I don't want to masturbate
[51:21] ah
[51:21] then you begin to open your sleep
[51:23] and your
[51:23] your flesh is
[51:25] strong
[51:26] the spirit is willing
[51:28] but the flesh is
[51:29] the flesh
[51:32] is weak
[51:33] towards the things
[51:34] so
[51:38] if you don't
[51:39] empower
[51:40] your spirit
[51:41] your flesh
[51:42] will never
[51:43] go towards
[51:44] the
[51:44] you remember
[51:44] oh
[51:45] wretched man
[51:46] the body of death
[51:47] the flesh
[51:49] will never
[51:49] move towards
[51:50] the things of God
[51:51] the flesh
[51:52] will always
[51:52] move away
[51:53] from the things of God
[51:54] and your spirit
[51:55] needs to be
[51:56] strengthened
[51:57] so
[51:58] I have an answer
[51:59] for your question
[52:00] pastor
[52:00] why am I trying
[52:01] to stop this
[52:02] and I can't stop
[52:03] I keep getting
[52:04] overtaken
[52:05] I keep struggling
[52:06] with this same problem
[52:07] it's the answer
[52:08] it's what I just gave
[52:09] when you empower
[52:10] your spirit
[52:10] your spirit
[52:11] now you charge
[52:12] flesh
[52:13] and your spirit
[52:14] will just be doing
[52:14] what it has to do
[52:15] you're going to church
[52:16] you are preaching
[52:17] you are not fornicating
[52:18] you are not masturbating
[52:19] you are not
[52:20] and your spirit
[52:20] is winning
[52:21] laying on of hands
[52:27] will not make
[52:28] your spirit weak
[52:29] we lay hands
[52:32] for function
[52:33] for you to receive
[52:36] the spirit
[52:36] to do the things
[52:37] the work of God
[52:38] but not to live
[52:39] the life of Christ
[52:40] so people who can
[52:43] be operating
[52:44] under the anointing
[52:46] but their spirit
[52:47] is still weak
[52:47] so they are struggling
[52:51] some of you
[52:52] you are active
[52:53] in church
[52:53] sometimes when you
[52:54] are preaching
[52:54] people they are crying
[52:55] but last night
[52:56] you were watching
[52:56] pornography
[52:57] and yet you preached
[52:58] somewhere they were crying
[52:58] and you are confused
[53:00] what's going on now
[53:01] God
[53:02] yes
[53:02] God is going on
[53:04] but when it comes
[53:05] to the work of God
[53:06] it's anointing based
[53:07] but when it comes
[53:08] to your work with God
[53:10] it's spiritual development based
[53:12] thank you Jesus
[53:20] is someone getting something
[53:24] so your spirit
[53:27] your soul
[53:28] and your body
[53:30] it said
[53:31] may the Lord
[53:32] sanctify you
[53:34] 1 Thessalonians 5 23
[53:36] spirit
[53:38] soul
[53:39] body
[53:40] and may your whole
[53:41] may the Lord
[53:42] sanctify you completely
[53:43] and may your whole
[53:44] spirit
[53:45] soul
[53:46] and body
[53:47] be preserved
[53:48] living to say
[53:51] present your bodies
[53:52] as a living sacrifice
[53:53] Romans chapter 12
[53:55] verse 1
[53:56] present your bodies
[53:57] your body is part
[53:59] of the deal
[53:59] your body is part
[54:02] of the deal
[54:03] Christian sister
[54:05] Christian brother
[54:06] your body is part
[54:08] of the deal
[54:08] but
[54:09] after your body
[54:10] is the slave
[54:11] of
[54:12] one of these
[54:14] that's the body
[54:15] so which of them
[54:17] is stronger
[54:17] will win
[54:18] the body
[54:18] will be doing
[54:19] the body
[54:21] doesn't have a say
[54:22] it's a slave
[54:23] to either your soul
[54:24] or your spirit
[54:25] because what you are doing
[54:27] is coming from
[54:29] your inner man
[54:29] your soul
[54:31] or your spirit
[54:33] and your spirit
[54:34] you have the life
[54:35] of God
[54:36] so that God
[54:37] has not left you
[54:38] to go and do it
[54:39] your own
[54:39] he actually
[54:40] is with you
[54:41] the spirit
[54:42] to empower you
[54:44] to live the life
[54:46] that brings glory
[54:47] to God
[54:47] did you understand that
[54:49] is somebody
[54:51] learning something
[54:51] it's so nice
[54:56] to know God's word
[54:57] having the understanding
[55:03] darkened
[55:03] being alienated
[55:05] from
[55:05] that's so good
[55:06] I'm trying to move
[55:08] past the life
[55:09] but
[55:09] the life is so good
[55:12] watch this
[55:14] you have something
[55:15] and others
[55:16] are not permitted
[55:17] to share
[55:17] to partake of
[55:19] it's the life of God
[55:21] he said
[55:21] they are aliens
[55:22] that explains
[55:24] their behavior
[55:25] that explains
[55:27] their extremities
[55:28] that explains
[55:29] their pride
[55:31] and arrogance
[55:32] that explains
[55:33] they are not
[55:34] appreciating
[55:35] your drive
[55:36] towards God
[55:37] that is what
[55:39] explains it
[55:40] alienation
[55:42] from the life
[55:42] of God
[55:43] they are naturally
[55:45] intelligent
[55:46] but they are aliens
[55:47] yeah
[55:48] they are beautiful
[55:50] ladies
[55:51] but aliens
[55:52] handsome brother
[55:54] young man
[55:55] but it's not a brother
[55:56] it's young man
[55:56] handsome man
[55:57] but alien
[55:58] well educated
[56:01] but alien
[56:02] to the life
[56:03] of God
[56:04] may that not be
[56:05] your story
[56:06] one of the things
[56:09] that you realize
[56:10] is when you are
[56:11] an alien
[56:11] from the life
[56:11] of God
[56:12] when you come
[56:13] to church
[56:13] it's like
[56:13] sometimes you
[56:15] don't understand
[56:16] why are they
[56:16] so happy
[56:17] oh yeah
[56:18] if you had
[56:20] what I have
[56:21] it's so good
[56:27] I'm telling you
[56:29] I'm telling you
[56:31] being alienated
[56:33] from the life
[56:34] of God
[56:36] aliens
[56:38] from the life
[56:40] of God
[56:41] aliens
[56:42] from the life
[56:44] of God
[56:44] it's affected
[56:46] their minds
[56:47] their understanding
[56:48] is so dark
[56:49] they are groping
[56:50] to understand
[56:51] even basic marriage
[56:53] they are struggling
[56:53] to define
[56:54] definition of a woman
[56:58] has become
[56:59] is that something
[57:00] that can
[57:00] that can
[57:05] understand
[57:07] having the
[57:13] understanding
[57:14] that can
[57:15] being alienated
[57:16] from the life
[57:17] of God
[57:17] because of the
[57:18] ignorance
[57:19] that is in them
[57:20] that word
[57:22] ignorance
[57:22] there
[57:23] is not suggesting
[57:25] not knowing
[57:26] it's suggesting
[57:27] willfully
[57:28] choosing
[57:28] not to know
[57:29] how many of you
[57:31] have tried to
[57:32] talk to somebody
[57:32] say I don't
[57:32] want to know
[57:33] one day
[57:34] we witnessed
[57:35] it to somebody
[57:36] my wife
[57:36] and I
[57:36] in a cab
[57:37] and she said
[57:38] but we want
[57:39] to talk to you
[57:40] about Jesus
[57:40] okay
[57:41] is that
[57:42] what version
[57:43] is that
[57:43] their moral
[57:44] understanding
[57:45] is darkened
[57:47] and their
[57:48] reasoning
[57:48] is beclouded
[57:50] they are
[57:52] alienated
[57:52] estranged
[57:53] self-barnished
[57:55] from the
[57:55] life of God
[57:56] with no
[57:58] share in it
[57:59] this is because
[58:01] of the
[58:02] ignorance
[58:03] the want
[58:05] of knowledge
[58:07] and perception
[58:08] the willful
[58:11] blood
[58:11] it's a choice
[58:12] it's a choice
[58:15] my wife and I
[58:17] were trying to
[58:17] witness to a
[58:18] 13-car driver
[58:19] that is about
[58:21] six years ago
[58:23] or so
[58:23] and then
[58:25] he said
[58:26] well
[58:26] I believe
[58:28] there is something
[58:30] God
[58:30] there is something
[58:31] so when you die
[58:33] he said
[58:33] I don't want
[58:34] to think about
[58:34] it because
[58:35] whatever happens
[58:38] I just don't
[58:39] want to think
[58:40] about it
[58:40] so it's a
[58:41] willful blindness
[58:42] they know
[58:44] there is something
[58:44] God
[58:45] they know it
[58:46] because
[58:47] the classic
[58:49] definition of
[58:50] stupidity
[58:50] absurdity
[58:52] intellectual suicide
[58:54] is to say
[58:54] there is no
[58:55] God
[58:55] they know it
[58:57] but they don't
[58:58] want to say
[58:59] the Bible
[59:00] says
[59:00] they are
[59:00] estranged
[59:01] from the
[59:01] life of
[59:02] that
[59:02] because
[59:03] of their
[59:03] willful
[59:04] ignorance
[59:06] it's a choice
[59:07] willful
[59:08] blindness
[59:09] they choose
[59:10] not to know
[59:11] they won't
[59:12] I don't want
[59:13] to know
[59:13] I don't want
[59:15] to know
[59:15] sometimes
[59:16] when you
[59:16] have mother
[59:17] and they
[59:17] tell you
[59:18] maybe your
[59:18] son
[59:19] he's in
[59:19] 18
[59:20] years
[59:20] and you
[59:21] say
[59:21] your
[59:21] son
[59:21] is
[59:21] stealing
[59:23] and doing
[59:23] drugs
[59:24] they know
[59:25] they suspect
[59:26] but they
[59:26] have to
[59:27] deny it
[59:27] and sometimes
[59:29] when you
[59:29] are a
[59:30] loved one
[59:31] die suddenly
[59:32] and they
[59:33] shock
[59:33] most people
[59:34] deny it
[59:35] it's not
[59:35] dead
[59:36] it can't
[59:36] be dead
[59:37] that's the
[59:38] human nature
[59:38] I don't
[59:40] want to
[59:40] accept it
[59:41] maybe it's
[59:42] true
[59:42] tell me it's
[59:42] not true
[59:42] it's not
[59:43] true
[59:44] it's the
[59:46] nature
[59:46] of man
[59:47] to
[59:47] willfully
[59:48] reject
[59:50] the
[59:53] knowledge
[59:53] of God
[59:54] because
[59:55] once you
[59:56] admit it
[59:56] you have
[59:57] to live
[59:57] according to
[59:58] that
[59:58] and they
[59:59] are not
[59:59] ready to
[1:00:00] do that
[1:00:00] light has
[1:00:02] come into
[1:00:02] the world
[1:00:03] but because
[1:00:04] men love
[1:00:05] blindness
[1:00:05] John 3
[1:00:06] 19
[1:00:07] they are
[1:00:08] evil
[1:00:08] they love
[1:00:10] the darkness
[1:00:10] allow me to
[1:00:12] stay in the
[1:00:13] dark
[1:00:13] don't bring
[1:00:13] light
[1:00:14] how many
[1:00:15] of you
[1:00:15] have been
[1:00:15] in the
[1:00:15] room
[1:00:15] and you
[1:00:16] didn't
[1:00:16] want the
[1:00:16] light
[1:00:16] to be
[1:00:16] on
[1:00:17] hey
[1:00:23] turn on
[1:00:24] who is
[1:00:24] that
[1:00:24] or when
[1:00:25] the light
[1:00:26] is turned
[1:00:26] on
[1:00:26] sometimes
[1:00:27] you go
[1:00:27] and park
[1:00:28] your car
[1:00:28] in a
[1:00:28] dark
[1:00:29] place
[1:00:29] and the
[1:00:30] glass is
[1:00:31] sweating
[1:00:31] you don't
[1:00:32] want any
[1:00:32] light
[1:00:32] to come
[1:00:33] around
[1:00:33] yeah
[1:00:38] those times
[1:00:39] you don't
[1:00:39] want any
[1:00:39] light to
[1:00:40] come
[1:00:40] around
[1:00:40] why
[1:00:41] somebody
[1:00:42] turn
[1:00:42] you on
[1:00:42] the
[1:00:42] light
[1:00:42] please
[1:00:43] then you
[1:00:44] stop
[1:00:45] when you
[1:00:48] are doing
[1:00:48] something
[1:00:49] bad
[1:00:49] you don't
[1:00:49] want
[1:00:50] the
[1:00:50] light
[1:00:50] let's
[1:00:55] look at
[1:00:55] the other
[1:00:55] versions
[1:00:56] then
[1:00:56] new
[1:00:58] american
[1:00:59] standard
[1:00:59] version
[1:00:59] said
[1:00:59] being
[1:01:00] dark
[1:01:00] in the
[1:01:00] understanding
[1:01:01] excluded
[1:01:02] from the
[1:01:02] life of
[1:01:02] god
[1:01:03] because of
[1:01:03] the
[1:01:03] ignorance
[1:01:04] that is
[1:01:04] in them
[1:01:04] because of
[1:01:05] the
[1:01:05] oh
[1:01:06] i didn't
[1:01:06] even talk
[1:01:07] about
[1:01:07] the
[1:01:07] hardness
[1:01:07] of
[1:01:07] heart

[1:01:29] hardened
[1:01:30] heart
[1:01:30] hardened
[1:01:31] heart
[1:01:31] hardened
[1:01:32] heart
[1:01:32] their
[1:01:34] hearts
[1:01:34] are
[1:01:34] hardened
[1:01:35] a heart
[1:01:36] is supposed
[1:01:36] to be
[1:01:36] soft
[1:01:36] a hard
[1:01:38] heart
[1:01:39] hard
[1:01:40] heart
[1:01:40] Mark 6.52
[1:01:43] probably will take the hardness of heart next week.
[1:01:46] For they
[1:01:46] had not understood about the
[1:01:49] loaves because their heart was
[1:01:51] hardened.
[1:01:55] Your heart
[1:01:55] can be hardened.
[1:01:58] You have to be careful who has been
[1:01:59] talking to you. Your heart can
[1:02:01] be hardened.
[1:02:03] Your heart can be hardened and it will cost
[1:02:05] you so much.
[1:02:08] 2 Corinthians 3.40
[1:02:10] but their minds were
[1:02:13] blinded for until now.
[1:02:16] So that were there.
[1:02:17] Give us New American Standard Version.
[1:02:20] See, their
[1:02:20] minds were hardened.
[1:02:25] The mind there
[1:02:27] is also part of the
[1:02:29] heart. I didn't tell you the heart because I showed you the
[1:02:31] spirit, the soul and the body. So where
[1:02:33] is the heart?
[1:02:36] Where is your heart?
[1:02:40] So body, spirit and soul.
[1:02:43] Okay.
[1:02:43] Now in your spirit, you have what is called
[1:02:46] conscience.
[1:02:48] Okay.
[1:02:49] You have what is called
[1:02:50] conscience.
[1:02:52] And so that's your spirit.
[1:02:54] In your spirit,
[1:02:56] you have what is called
[1:02:57] conscience.
[1:02:58] conscience.
[1:03:00] You have life
[1:03:02] of God,
[1:03:02] Zoe.
[1:03:03] And you have fellowship
[1:03:04] with God.
[1:03:06] So when you are not born again,
[1:03:08] the only aspect of your spirit that is
[1:03:10] active is your conscience.
[1:03:13] Okay.
[1:03:14] So when you are not born again, you don't have the
[1:03:16] life of God.
[1:03:17] So when you are not born again,
[1:03:18] this aspect of your spirit
[1:03:20] is dead.
[1:03:20] Yeah.
[1:03:21] Because you don't have the life of God,
[1:03:24] but your conscience is still alive.
[1:03:27] Now watch this.
[1:03:31] So when you are born again,
[1:03:34] this is your, what's this?
[1:03:35] Your human being,
[1:03:36] your soul.
[1:03:37] And this is your spirit.
[1:03:41] Your spirit and your soul are not the same.
[1:03:43] But when you talk about your heart,
[1:03:46] your heart is an aspect of your spirit
[1:03:49] together with your soul.
[1:03:54] So your thinking is part of your heart.
[1:03:58] Your conscience is part of your heart.
[1:04:01] Because your thinking is in your soul.
[1:04:04] Your conscience is in your spirit.
[1:04:05] But your conscience is part of it.
[1:04:08] So Jesus said,
[1:04:09] why do you think this in your heart?
[1:04:12] And he says that your heart does not condemn you.
[1:04:17] Condemnation comes from the conscience.
[1:04:19] So if you don't have a relationship with God,
[1:04:21] what God has installed in your life to guide you
[1:04:24] between wrong and right, right and wrong,
[1:04:27] is your conscience.
[1:04:29] But you can get to a place where your heart is hardened,
[1:04:32] your conscience can be seared.
[1:04:35] Like 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 2.
[1:04:38] So we've seared conscience,
[1:04:40] like it's numb.
[1:04:41] There are people,
[1:04:42] that's why people can do some bad things
[1:04:44] and they don't feel anything.
[1:04:45] Because their conscience is seared.
[1:04:48] Conscience is seared.
[1:04:50] You are lying against somebody
[1:04:53] and you know the person is going to go to prison.
[1:04:55] The person has not done anything.
[1:04:56] And you say,
[1:04:57] I don't know.
[1:04:58] And you know he hasn't done anything.
[1:05:00] But you're doing it.
[1:05:01] And you don't feel any guilty about it.
[1:05:03] Seared conscience.
[1:05:03] How many of you have done something bad
[1:05:06] and afterwards you felt very bad?
[1:05:09] That is a good thing.
[1:05:11] But when you do bad and you don't feel it again.
[1:05:14] So since you became born again,
[1:05:15] when you went to kiss,
[1:05:17] you felt bad.
[1:05:18] The second one,
[1:05:19] you felt bad,
[1:05:20] but not as bad as the first one.
[1:05:22] The third one,
[1:05:23] you felt bad,
[1:05:24] but not so bad.
[1:05:25] The fourth one,
[1:05:26] now you are fine.
[1:05:27] You say,
[1:05:27] oh, come on, let's go.
[1:05:28] Now your conscience has become seared.
[1:05:33] Initially,
[1:05:34] you had a conscience.
[1:05:35] It was working for you.
[1:05:37] But now it's common.
[1:05:38] Now it says that
[1:05:39] speaking lies in hypocrisy,
[1:05:41] having their own conscience
[1:05:43] seared with otayon.
[1:05:46] New living translation.
[1:05:47] Let's see how I put it.
[1:05:49] These people are hypocrites and lies.
[1:05:51] And their conscience are dead.
[1:05:53] When you get to a place
[1:05:56] where your conscience is dead,
[1:05:58] you are doing things
[1:05:59] that you don't feel anything wrong.
[1:06:01] That's why terrorists,
[1:06:02] they can kill somebody
[1:06:02] that don't feel anything wrong.
[1:06:04] They can take a knife
[1:06:04] in the name of their God
[1:06:06] and catch your head.
[1:06:07] No, a demon has jumped on them.
[1:06:09] It's a demon.
[1:06:10] It's a demon.
[1:06:12] Yeah.
[1:06:13] And so their conscience
[1:06:15] is part of your heart,
[1:06:17] even though it's in your spirit.
[1:06:19] So anytime we talk about your heart,
[1:06:21] we are talking about
[1:06:22] an aspect of your spirit
[1:06:25] together with an aspect of your soul.
[1:06:28] So when said they have
[1:06:29] hardenedness of hearts,
[1:06:32] their hearts are hardened,
[1:06:34] it's talking about
[1:06:35] an aspect of their spirit
[1:06:38] and their soul.
[1:06:39] So when you are not born again,
[1:06:40] you still have a spirit.
[1:06:42] But you don't have the life
[1:06:43] of God in your spirit.
[1:06:44] So your spirit is classified as dead.
[1:06:47] But your conscience is still alive.
[1:06:48] That's why before you became born again,
[1:06:50] when you do something bad,
[1:06:51] you feel bad.
[1:06:52] Even though you're not born again.
[1:06:53] Why?
[1:06:54] Their conscience is guiding you.
[1:06:55] Their conscience.
[1:06:56] And after you become born again,
[1:06:58] your conscience becomes
[1:06:59] sanctified by the spirit.
[1:07:01] So your conscience
[1:07:02] even works better.
[1:07:04] So the spirit of God
[1:07:04] still uses your conscience
[1:07:06] to speak to you.
[1:07:08] Amen.
[1:07:10] Did you receive something?
