It tends to throw me off 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: a little bit, but by popular demand, she's back my 4 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: wife of near forty years, Annabelle. How are you I 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: throw you off? What does that mean? Well, I mean 6 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, I see right there, see right there. You 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: threw off my introduction. It's unpredictable when you're on the show. 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: We never know what she's going to come up with. 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: She asked me questions. And last time we got into 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: a marriage therapy session around Christmas time when you were 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: talking about I don't know what I said. I said, 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: would you like for Christmas? And he said something like 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to have some more time with my husband? 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: Not opened up pant doors. 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: No, you said, you said what would you change about me? 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: And I said, you're a schedule and you were like, 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: how could you say that so quickly you said? 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: My hair practically went straight back in my face. Could 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: have slowed motion to gop. Okay, now I'm wrestling with 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: this thing. So what I want to talk to you about. 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a Bible study today because you know 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: Adam Bell and I we originally scheduled this is a 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: Bible study, and this is going to be a very 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: unusual Bible study because it's unscripted. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: That time you sounded like harshot. 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 3: Unusual unusual Bible study. My friend from Sri Lanka, who 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: wishes to be a man anonymous, now no accent, a 28 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: perfectly neutral accent, he told me that he and his 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: wife said that they grew up in in SriLankan and 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: we were told that that the reason why they like 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: working with Sri Lanka, this is because of a perfectly 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: neutral accent. 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: And she said, yeah, that's what they told us. And 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: I laughed so hard that they were told they had 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: a perfectly neutral accent, which meant that all English is 36 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: sounded like they were the most anyway in our perfectly 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: neutral accent. We're going to go into today's Bible study. 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to go to something in Galatians. That's what 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: I chose to What a coincidence. Now, listen, I was 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: in Gerald Durstein's Christian retreat. There's a Christian retreat in Bradenton, Florida, 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and I was teaching down there last week. And this 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: is where you know, we had an unusual honeymoon. We 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: went down there for our honeymoon. 44 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: Part of it, because I remember part of. 45 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: It, my mother protested that I was going to go 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: in these unusual Christian places. James Kennedy went to James Kennedy, 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: d James Kennedy Cararidge Presbyterian Church, went and saw Derek Prince, 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: my great deliverance mentor, and Gerald Durstein Christian retreats. Anyway, 49 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: these are the charismatic heroes of my day. 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: Well, that calubn balance us. 51 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: What did she do? 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: She sent us Tocot and Disney World, so we had. 53 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: To counter bounce us. Yes, and Kennedy and James Kennedy 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: wasn't charismatic, which which shows the eclectic nature of my 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: attraction to all of the diversity of the Bible and 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: the and the preachers and so listen. I was at 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: Gerald Urson's Christopher treat and I was reminded of the 58 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: great teaching that I got from Brother Durstein. And I 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: don't want to lose it because I mean, I need 60 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: to practice it. Because these people that if they're really 61 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: an annoyed to gift ministry, they deposit something in you 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: because it's not them, it's the spirit of Christ in 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: them that is teaching. Really great preaching, and great teaching 64 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: should be transformational because it puts something in you from 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: them and it kind of shapes you. Right. So did 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: you ever hear Geraldurstein by the way, Yeah, I met. 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: Him, he and Beulah when we were down there, wife 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: of like what sixty something years, right, that's. 69 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Right, they married for like sixty seven years. Remarkable. So anyway, anyway, 70 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: but my purpose in telling you this is the impact 71 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that he had was in the teaching, and the teaching 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: was on I think you taught something I never heard before. 73 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: It was on the fruit of the spirit. So go 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: to Galatians chapter five, and I want to discuss with 75 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: you and see if you can remember this message. Annabelle, 76 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: I almost hesitated on teaching on this because it's such 77 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: a challenge, but I want to go there. Galatians chapter five. 78 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: Now the apostle Paul is speaking here about spirit life. 79 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: Look at verse sixteen, so powerful, I say, then, I'm 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: reading from the New King James. I think, walk in 81 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of 82 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: the flesh. Interesting statement. Now, you always are going to 83 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: have the luss of the flesh if you're not walking 84 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: in the spirit. This is like the law of gravity. 85 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: If you're not you know, if you're not flying, then 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: you're falling. So walking in the spirit is something we 87 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: should really learn how to do, because walking in the 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: spirit's capital at So the translators are thinking, this is 89 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: walking in the Holy Spirit. How do you walk in 90 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit? Beautiful? And if you do that, you 91 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: won't fulfill the lust of the flesh, the appetites, the inclinations, 92 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: the you know, the desires of the fallen nature. And 93 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: what are those desires? Well, he says, right here, the 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: flesh lusts against the things of the spirit. It has 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: its own competing desire, and the spirit, curious enough, has 96 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: its own competing desire against the flesh. These are contrary 97 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: to one another, so that you do not do the 98 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: things you wish. So Paul's acknowledging that you have a 99 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: nature in you that wants to do the wrong thing. 100 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: It's the fallen nature. And the only way that you 101 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: can do that is to be led by the spirit. 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: So Paul says, if you're led by the spirit, you're 103 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: not under the law. There's so much depthiness because what 104 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Paul's saying is, you know what you're really wrestling with 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: is the law, and so I mean I won't go 106 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: there now. Now, the works of the flesh are evident 107 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: when they're manifest adultrey, fornication, on cleanness, lewdness, and so 108 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: those are all like the more obvious sins of the senses. 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: Sexual immorality would be the category. But then look at 110 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: idolatry and sorcery. Sorcery is listed there. Sorcery is curious 111 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: because that's witchcraft as a work of the flesh. 112 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: It's a different source, it's. 113 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: A different sorcery. It's kind of like sorcery with witchcraft 114 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: is when you're doing spells and incantations and working with 115 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: demons basically in order to orchestrate demons into someone's life 116 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: to do something. But if sorcery is a work of 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: the flesh, it's that form of manipulation and control and 118 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: psychological manipulation which is done by the soul, not done 119 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: by demon spirits, but done by the lower nature flesh. 120 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Because all these are works of the flesh, not works 121 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: of demons. So there is a there is a sorcery 122 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: that is done in the flesh, and it's a form 123 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: of intimidation and manipulation and control it's a form of witchcraft, 124 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: which is a work of the flesh. Interesting, witchcraft is 125 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: a work of the flesh, which is the inordinate desire 126 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: to control and dominate, manipulate other people apart from their awareness, hatred, contentions, jealousies, 127 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, 128 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: revelries and the like and the like. Basically just making it. No, 129 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: this isn't a definitive list. Is just Paul saying, you've 130 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: all seen this behavior. This is the flesh which I 131 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: tell you beforehand, just as I told you in time passed, 132 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom 133 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: of God. Now that's a scary statement because what he's 134 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: saying is if this is dominant in your life, any 135 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: of these then is he's saying, you're not going to 136 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: inherit the kingdom, You're not going to go to heaven. 137 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like what he's saying, if these 138 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: things are these works are your everyday constant experience, then 139 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: you're not going to inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Now 140 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: someone could argue with me on that, but I mean 141 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: it's a you're not going to inherit the Kingdom of God. 142 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: You're not going to inherit. This is something you receive 143 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: after your you know, a death, You're not going to inherit. 144 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: You're not going to be going that's a scary thought. 145 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: But the fruit of the spirit, the fruit of the 146 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering. Now Paul gets 147 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: into the works of the flesh contrasted with the fruit 148 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: of the Spirit. So this is he's he's using a 149 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: distinction here. He's saying works are of the flesh Verse nineteen. 150 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: But now fruit of the spirit. Why would he contrast 151 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: a work with a fruit because the work is the 152 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: outgrowth of the fallen nature. But a fruit is something 153 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: that grows on a vine. It grows on something. And 154 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: he's saying, you actually are grafted into or connected to 155 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Therefore, this is fruit that comes from 156 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. It's not coming from your fallen nature. 157 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: So if you have Christ a catch it. This is 158 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: kind of complex, but it's beautiful. You don't have to 159 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: live in the flesh. You can live in the spirit. 160 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: You don't have to walk in the flesh. You can 161 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: walk in the spirit. You don't have to be doing 162 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: the desires even though there's an inclination in you which 163 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: is human. You can go in the other direction and 164 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: the fruit is attached to something, and the fruit of 165 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: the spirit he lifts, and he lists nine specific types 166 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: of fruit that grow on a Christian life attached to 167 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. So we're going to take a break 168 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: right now and we come right back. I'm going to 169 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: delve into the supernatural fruit that you're allowed to demonstrate, 170 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: in fact, you're called to walk in as a result 171 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: of your attachment to the vine, which is Christ. We'll 172 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: be right back in some mercedes you were saying to 173 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: me on the break. During the break, of course, she's 174 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: always trying to make sure that people aren't needlessly distressed. 175 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: I said, those do such I'll not inherit the Kingdom. 176 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: And I'm reading it. I used to teach, well, you're 177 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: going to go to heaven. It's just you don't inherit 178 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the Kingdom down here, which is Righteous's peace and joy 179 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: and the Holy But I'm saying, well, I could stretch 180 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: it to say that, but I could read it the 181 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: way it's written and say, hey, if you and you clarified, 182 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: in what sense would someone not enter the kingdom with 183 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: these characteristics, I thought, you're saved by faith. 184 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I was reading where you were because you know, 185 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: you think hatred. Okay, well man, sometimes somebody cuts me 186 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 4: off in. 187 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: Traffic, I geet a little angry at them, you. 188 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: Know, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions. I mean that 189 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: that is sid nature one. Oh what, that's all inside 190 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 4: of us? And so but when he gets down into 191 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: Galatians five twenty one and it says those who practice 192 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God, and 193 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: I thought, huh, I wonder what that word practice actually 194 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 4: means in the Greek. And so then I went and 195 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 4: looked it up on Blue letter Bible, and it's the 196 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: word prasos. Prassos. Yeah, it's hard to say prass so okay, 197 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 4: but that means to perform repeatedly or habitually, which is 198 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 4: a distinct difference from a different word that would be 199 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 4: used as a single act. So this is implying that 200 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: this is something that's habitually done over and over and 201 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: over again. It's like your way of life is that 202 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: you're living this lifestyle, not the occasional. 203 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: I got angry and not I. 204 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 4: Just I felt conviction. I repented, but it's almost like 205 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 4: this lifestyle of I don't even feel conviction over it anymore. 206 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: I love that. Okay. So it's a habitual life, so 207 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: you can habitually practice the fruit. Now practice it's an 208 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: interesting word because it implies you're working with it, you're 209 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: practicing it, you're developing it. The fruit of the spirit 210 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: is love, joy, and peace. Let's start right there. So, Annabelle, 211 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: you got your Bible there, Go to Colossians. Go to 212 00:12:51,120 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Colossians chapter one, verse twenty seven. Something kind of interesting here. 213 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: It says in Colossians chapter one, verse twenty seven that 214 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: there's a mystery that was hidden from the beginning of time, 215 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: but it has now been revealed to us. And I 216 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: think it's the mystery that has to do with Christ 217 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: and the spirit of filled life that was reserved for 218 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: the New Covenant. 219 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: You got it there, No, only pages are stuck together 220 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: new Bible. Here it is Colossians what they couldn't get 221 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: it to open? 222 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Our Bible pages are stuck together. People. 223 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: It's just bought me this Bible, and I'd really only 224 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 2: use it a few times so far because it's. 225 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: It's the Borean Bible, by the way, has a spirit 226 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: of Stuney, it's a Brian Bible. 227 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 2: I'm just like, what do you want me to read? 228 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: Washing's one on twenty seven one. I practiceing the fruit 229 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: of patients on my Bible study. 230 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: I would be a fruit inspector. 231 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: Do not have any patience? No patience? Okay, back to you, 232 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: chet to them. 233 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: God has chosen to make known among the gentiles the 234 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, 235 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: the hope of glory. 236 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: So Christ in you is the mystery. The reason I'm 237 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: saying that is because where does the fruit of the 238 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: Spirit come from. It comes from Christ in you. A 239 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: christ Jian is someone who has Christ in them. So 240 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: when you say Lord Jesus, you know forgive my sins 241 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: or whatever He comes in to you. By the Holy Spirit, 242 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Christ comes into you. Remember the Trinity, it's all three 243 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: is one. So when the Holy Spirit comes in, Christ 244 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: comes into your heart. And technically this is where it 245 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: becomes very interesting. Christ does not come into your body 246 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: though he's inside you. Christ isn't coming into your soul. 247 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: Although your soul begins to get saved. Christ comes into 248 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: your spirit, which means your spirit is transform made new. 249 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: The Greek word there says that your spirit is transfigured 250 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: into a new entity. So the deepest part of you 251 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: Christ and you dwell together as a new creature. If 252 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. So 253 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: you could say, the fruit of a spirit comes out 254 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: of your spirit as it works its way through the 255 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: layers of your soul and your body, and it's manifested 256 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: the world around you. Okay, And so this is a 257 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: beautiful mystery of working out your own salvation with fear 258 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: and trembling, working out from your spirit man through your mind, 259 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: your emotions, your will, your personal history, your personality, and 260 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: then your body, how you feel that day, what's going on. 261 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: And then it goes on to say him we preach 262 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: in verse twenty eight, warning every man and teaching every 263 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: man in all wisdom that he may present We may 264 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end, 265 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: I labor and strive according to His working which works 266 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: in me mightily. That word for working is the word 267 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: get this one E N E R G E I A. 268 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: It's where you get the word energy. 269 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: Yes, what mine says with all his energy, working power, Oh. 270 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: So your translations says, with all his energy. The English 271 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: word energy comes from this word energy, oh, usually describing 272 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: the working of God, but also can be used of 273 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: Satan with empowering the Antichrist. It's say, so the Antichrist 274 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: isn't working with anything other than what you're working with 275 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: is just spiritual power energizing. But here it's the spirit 276 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: of God's working in you, mightily working in you. What 277 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: working from your spirit man out through your mind, through 278 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: your words, through your thinking. This is why that great 279 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: verse in the Bible says in Romans, be not conformed 280 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of 281 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: your mind, letting that soul which is where your emotions 282 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: and your will, and your memory and your imagination and 283 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: your logic, having that altered by the word of God 284 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: and your regenerated spirit working it out. You go over 285 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: here to verse twenty two of chapter five of Galatians. 286 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace. 287 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: Make a note of this. Somebody pointed this out to 288 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: me once, that the first three concern our relationship with God. 289 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: That God gives you love and joy and peace. That 290 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: this is a fruit that comes right from heaven. Peace 291 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: I leave with you. Jesus said, not if the world gives, 292 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: and these things, I say to you that my joy 293 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: may be. So you've got the peace of God, the 294 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: joy of God, the love of God. Romans five to 295 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: five shed abroad in your heart. 296 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: Well, two of them are part of the kingdom. Is righteous, 297 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 2: is peace, and joy. So two of those fruit are 298 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: part two thirds of the kingdom. 299 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: The thirds of the Kingdom of God, according to the 300 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: Word of God, is right there in the first three. 301 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: So the first three are from Heaven to you. They're 302 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: for you. But now I think long suffering, kindness, and 303 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: goodness are really they deal with other people. Let's just 304 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: do a little Bible study here. Human The second three 305 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: are the virtues that we extend to others. Long suffering 306 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: and kindness and goodness. Those are relational. Now I could 307 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: use a little more fruit of the spirit manifest in 308 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,239 Speaker 1: the area of long suffering, kindness, and goodness. And then 309 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: I believe the final three third group describe vibes what 310 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: it is that we minister back to the Lord. In 311 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: terms of self control, in terms of faithfulness. Let's see 312 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: it says, yeah, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I think 313 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: those three are like God word. The third group describes 314 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: principles a guide to Christian's conduct generally so, but those 315 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: they break down into God to you, you to others, 316 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: and then these are enable you to walk in Christian 317 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: conduct that honors God, which is that self control and 318 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: faithfulness to God, and gentleness. 319 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 4: Don't you think though they could all be for God 320 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 4: and all be for other people? 321 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: Well, they certainly could be. Just wondering, they certainly could be. 322 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 4: I mean, I just gentleness like you are with little 323 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 4: lex or I am with liberty, gentleness, gentleness. 324 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: For your Yeah, you know you're right. The generalists kind 325 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: of like is throwing me off there, except the actual 326 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: word there is in gentleness. The actual Greek word is meekness, 327 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: which means the yielding of the will, Which is why 328 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the meekness and self control of thing. 329 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: I just remember these that I get that I remember 330 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: these three were talked to me by divinity professor I 331 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: nerver I, but I can't remember the third category. The 332 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: first one was from God to you, the second one 333 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: is from you to others, things that God ministers to you, 334 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: things that your minister to others. And then I thought 335 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: the third one has to do with you walking the 336 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: Christian walk. 337 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: But it was like Bill Gothard to me, we should 338 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: go find your Bill gothert books. 339 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: No find my Bill Gothard, noeboocking and get that out, 340 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: because I would. 341 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: Think love and joy also are for other people, you know, 342 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 4: like not just for the Lord. I would think, like 343 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: I love you know, and the question is what type 344 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: of love? 345 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: But I agree, I do agree with you. I think 346 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: I think that we minister. So now I don't have 347 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: any thoughts on this before I go to the going 348 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: to the board. Right now, I'm going to go to you. 349 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: I thought that as long as I want, I could 350 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: do two more minutes if I want, I want to 351 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: just say longer for one of my own shows. 352 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: All I want to say is the fruit inspections not 353 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: just for other peoples, for ourselves. So if we don't 354 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 2: inspect ourselves or think about it, we may never even 355 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: notice if we're not having any of these or some 356 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 2: of these. So I actually think it's an amazing art 357 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: form to be your own fruit inspector and think about it, 358 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: because sometimes we just let ourselves be very sloppy agape 359 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 2: or very just sloppy in general. And when you pull 360 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: pull up and look at some of this stuff, it 361 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 2: actually might be a little bit of a rebuke from 362 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 2: the Lord. But you can hear it just because. 363 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: You're open to it. Well, how can you tell? How 364 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: can you tell? 365 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: Because you know yourself really well if you're in the 366 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: word of God. The more you're in the Word of God, 367 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: you can kind of like a mirror. 368 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: Right. 369 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 2: So all I'm saying about it is it wouldn't it 370 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: be a big, a big difference for many people to 371 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: think about these words. Like you might think, oh, I 372 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: really am fruitful and all these ways, but you might think, 373 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to work on this one fruit 374 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 2: right now. You know, I'm going to add a little 375 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: bit of time in this and try to you know, 376 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: self control. I think that's my worst fruit of all 377 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: of them, because I give myself permission to do whatever 378 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 2: I want. Sometimes I'm like, oh. 379 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: That, I mean, well, self control sometimes is like why 380 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: fasting is so challenging. I can remember why I didn't 381 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: want to wear the blue shirt in front of here 382 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: before because I got lost in the back drop. You 383 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: do look like a flame. I should probably draw an 384 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: outline of my shirt and yellow all right, so hey. 385 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 4: Can I just say that was a really good word 386 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: that Animel just shared. 387 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good word. What was she saying? 388 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 4: Well, what I when I heard she said a lot. 389 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 4: But my takeaway was essentially, you know, you kind of 390 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 4: read this and you like, maybe you apply it to 391 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: your spouse, maybe apply it to co workers, you know, 392 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 4: but you should be applying it to you, that you 393 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 4: should be your own fruit inspector, and saying, well, hold 394 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: on a second, what am I exhibiting here? My exhibiting 395 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 4: the flash? Am I exhibiting the fruit of the spirit? 396 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: And maybe my bananas look good? But my coconuts need 397 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 4: some maturing, you know, I don't know, but I'm just 398 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: saying that we should be inspecting our own fruit. 399 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 5: Well, I got your bananas and coconuts, people, That's all 400 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 5: I can say. 401 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: So Jesus. 402 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: In you. 403 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: So what we're learning here is we're gonna we're gonna 404 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: study this together. All the fruit and ning fruit of 405 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: the spirit are for are for people. I'll agree, I 406 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: think everybody needs them. I mean it's not like they 407 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: don't need love, they don't need joy, they don't need peace, 408 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: they need all of it. What I learned from doctor Durstein, philed, 409 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: you know Gerald Durstein and his son phil is that Jesus. 410 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: Gerald is I was a Mennonite preacher and it was 411 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: really educated by the Lord in a revival. And the 412 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: Lord started speaking to him and said, I want you 413 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: to minister the kingdom. And of course he saw aa Allen, 414 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: he saw great preachers, Oral Roberts, and he said he 415 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: thought that was the ministry. And the Lord spoke to 416 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: him and said, there's two ways that you actually get 417 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: to discover who Jesus is. Jesus says both a character 418 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: are personality, and Jesus also has an ability. Any person 419 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: is known by their character and known by their ability 420 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: what they can do and their personality, and then what 421 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: their talents are personality until you could say this could 422 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: be the personality and their particular talent what it is 423 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: or skill makes them unique. Now, what the Holy Spirit 424 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: showed Gerald Durstein, which I never forgot, is that the 425 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: character of Jesus is revealed in the fruit of the Spirit. 426 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: So Annabel, the reason why those words are so important 427 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: is because Jesus is both a personality and an ability. 428 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: And if Christ is in you, then in you you 429 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: have his ability, and you have his personality. What keeps 430 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: us from manifesting it is we really never put it 431 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 1: together this way. So the fruit attached to the vine 432 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Jesus is love and joy and peace and patience. What 433 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: else do we have? Our annabel and kindness yep, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, goodness, 434 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: faithless and self control, tullness and steal one two, three, four, five, 435 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: six seven self control. 436 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if you got gentlemen, and. 437 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to put gentleness in there. 438 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: It's in the Bible. I just read them right in 439 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: a row. 440 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: But here's the point. You have all these in you. 441 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,239 Speaker 1: You might say, well, I'm not very loving, Yet the 442 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: Bible says in Romans five five, God has shed his 443 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: love abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit who 444 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: is in you. So the Holy Spirit is going to 445 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: minister Jesus through you. You have all nine of the attributes. 446 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: And here's what made Jered Durstein's revelation is so interesting that, 447 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: as Mercedes said, you might think that you're only ministering all. 448 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: I wish I could be spiritual enough to pray for 449 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: the sick and they be healed, or to have words 450 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: of knowledge like a prophet. But we'll come over to here. 451 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: That's going to be the ability of Jesus. But you 452 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: have the fruit of the spirit, and people can taste 453 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: the love of God, the joy of the Lord, or 454 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: the peace of God. Those three things particularly, you can 455 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: minister to them because christ In you can actually minister 456 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: through you the love of God. Christ In you came 457 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: minister through you Peace. Christ In you kime minister through 458 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: you the Joy. And I think I've seen this, and 459 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: I think you've done it, and I don't think you've 460 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: properly analyzed what's going on. Whenever you're ministering in your 461 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: someone else's spirits lifted strengthen in some way. We are 462 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: ministering to each other. You're not. Your flesh isn't going 463 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: to refresh somebody. It's going to be the spirit of 464 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: Christ in you is actually can indicating through impartation. Through impartation, right, 465 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: this is what comes through you. 466 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: You're dispensing the life. 467 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: You have this, you have this ability on it. But 468 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: I really believe this. I believe you minister your minister 469 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: joy and you minister life. Have you ever had people 470 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: come up to you and say, you know, I feel 471 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: better just talking to you. What they're saying is something 472 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: here of Jesus left a residue on them. So when 473 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: they left you, they're a little calmer they left you, 474 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: they're a little more hopeful. They left you, they were stronger. 475 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: Christ in you was ministering to them. Now the gifts 476 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: of the spirit, which are in Corinthians chapter twelve, first Grinthians, 477 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: chapter twelve, and those you can group together. They are 478 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: the revelation gifts, they are the verbal gifts, and they 479 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: are the power gifts. That's why I was wonder if 480 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: there's categories here. You see where my brain has gone, 481 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: because I know that there's categories for the gifts or 482 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: the ability of Christ. Now the ability of Christ. So 483 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: what do we have listed at the top of the 484 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: list of revelation gifts? 485 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 4: Mercedes, The first one you're saying is a word of wisdom. 486 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: So it's a word of wisdom. Next one is a 487 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: word of knowledge, word of knowledge, next one faith, gifts 488 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: of faith, and each of these is a teaching in themselves. 489 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: What is the difference between a word of wisdom and 490 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,959 Speaker 1: a word of knowledge? And then we have the gifts 491 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: of prophecy. 492 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 4: Healings, healing, and then the working of miracles. 493 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: Working of miracles, and then prophecy and prophecy. 494 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 4: Let them keep going, or you gonna what else do 495 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: we have discerning of spirits? 496 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Discerning of spirits? 497 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 4: Buckle up for those who don't believe this one different 498 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 4: kinds of tongues, and then there's tongues, and then an 499 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 4: interpretation of tongues. 500 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: An interpretation. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Oh, 501 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: look at this we have, as we're running out of ink. 502 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: Here we have nine fruit of the spirit, and we 503 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: have nine gifts of the spirit. Isn't that curious? So 504 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: the high priest had on them of their garment. Watch 505 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: this down here they had a bell and a pomegranate, 506 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: and a bell and a pomegranate, and a bell and 507 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: a pomegran and perfect symmetry. What in the world is 508 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: God saying? God wants you as his priest, to have 509 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,479 Speaker 1: the fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the 510 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: spirit working in symmetry in your personality, so that you 511 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: have the bell, which is the gift, and the pomegranate, 512 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: which is the fruit, both of these working together, both 513 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: of these moving in harmony. One is the sound that 514 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: is a sign it's calling you to see something. The 515 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: other is something you could taste. That's the fruit. People 516 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: come up against you and they taste your spirit. People 517 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: are impacted by you through your gifts, talents, and abilities 518 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: that are infused with the gifts of the spirit. 519 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: Well, our friend Coiletta teaches about the fragrance that you 520 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 2: leave behind in the room. 521 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. 522 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: It's an interesting concept. 523 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: Like for it is I want walk the comment too. 524 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 4: I don't know, we have a little bit left. 525 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 526 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 4: Well, I was just going to say, you know, an 527 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 4: interesting aspect of being in ministry and kind of serving 528 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 4: in ministry for as long as you know, you guys 529 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 4: have and I know Larry and I are in and 530 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 4: out of it, that just because somebody has a gift 531 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 4: of the spirit doesn't mean they're operating in the fruit 532 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 4: of the spirit. And I think oftentimes in the body 533 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 4: of Christ, you can look at a man or a 534 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 4: woman of God and say, but they're prophesying and they're 535 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 4: doing these things, but then it's they don't have the 536 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 4: corresponding fruit to go with it. And so I just 537 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 4: thought that was like an interesting. 538 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: That's what That's what Dave Yarn't was just saying before 539 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: he's like Matthew seven, Jesus is saying, I never knew you. Yes, 540 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 2: like you did the prophecy, you did this, you did 541 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: all this stuff. 542 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: But I never knew you. 543 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 4: That's the scary. 544 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: That's scary for me. 545 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: That's like the scariest word in the Bible of that 546 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 4: we cast out demons in your name, we prophesied in 547 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 4: your name. And Jesus says, away from me, for I 548 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 4: never knew you. And it's like, that's that's why Anna 549 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: belt Animal's point. You got to be your own fruit inspector. 550 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 4: You can't be living and practicing those habitual fleshly things. 551 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: And I have to say also, you need to have 552 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: genuine Christian relationships because if if any man, you know, 553 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: if a man sins, you go to him and tell 554 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: him his fault between you and him alone. If you 555 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: don't have anyone that could ever tell you your fault or 556 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: your sin or I am it's so healthy when you're 557 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: with people that will call you fruit inspect your behavior. Hey, 558 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: that wasn't right, what you did was wrong. That was 559 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: It's helpful. Hey, listen, you want to come right back 560 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: after this break, because we're not done yet welcome back 561 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: to the landswalling up, Preble said, we're having an argument here, 562 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: a debate about the thready the brief break about the 563 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: fruit of the spirit. And what could be more ironic 564 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: than a debate about the fruit? But uh, such as 565 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: the nature of the flesh that Mercedes gets in. 566 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 2: Oh, now hilarious. 567 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: But you know, like I just want to say, but 568 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: have you ever read these stories that are really cool 569 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: about people that have gone to heaven and you have 570 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: you noticed the stories that that one of the one 571 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: of the characterism is the fruit that's there. I don't 572 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: know if you've been reading this, but I mean, I'm serious. 573 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: I got these great testimonies that people that have gone 574 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: to heaven and they you know, and they there, they 575 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: and they describe the fruit trees because the tree of 576 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: life is there. And I'm not saying this is like theology, 577 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: but these are great testimony. Book let's like Paradise. There's 578 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: one book I read by the End Time Handmaids or 579 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: Swing years ago. I never forgot it. It's about a 580 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: person's journey to heaven to see how heaven is. Jesse 581 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: de Planets has been there. He's talked about what other 582 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: people have talked about it, but it talked about the 583 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: Tree of life is there. Michael Kropts. The man the 584 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: center of that died and went to heaven and came 585 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: back to those friends of ours. He said, the tree 586 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: of life was there. He saw it. Now, this tree 587 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: is It grows all over the place in heaven, and 588 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: there's fruit on the tree. Remember thou shalt not eat 589 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: of the fruit of the tree. Well, the tree has fruit. Anyway, 590 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm reading the I'm reading various books, and these people 591 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: didn't even know each other. They describe their heavenly experience. Wow. 592 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: And they said when they got there, when they get 593 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: to heaven, they can barely handle the glory. I mean 594 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: they're in there, they're in a spirit form, but still 595 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: getting actmate it to that environment. You know what it's 596 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: like when you go down under the power. If you're Pentecostal, 597 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: if you're in a meeting, we could barely stand up. 598 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: In the Old Testament, the priests fell down because of 599 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: the glory. Well, in heaven like, people would get there 600 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: and they could barely handle the journey. They just got 601 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: there and they could barely handle the journey entering in 602 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 1: and coming in. But someone would come along to encourage 603 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: them and give them fruit, and they'd eat the fruit, 604 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: and the fruit suddenly strengthened them. And the fruit that 605 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: came from the tree of life was like different colors, 606 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: and it was like a metallic looking gold or a 607 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: silver or a copper or this, different colors than on 608 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: earth that you see. But the fruit would give you 609 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: a certain virtue of the Spirit of God would go 610 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: into your spirit man, and you would suddenly be It's 611 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: almost like the fruit of peace and the fruit of 612 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: joy or the fruit of love coming off the tree 613 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: of life, because the fruit of the spirit comes off 614 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: of the life of the Holy Spirit. And so you say, 615 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a very kind or a very patient person. 616 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: But that's true in your soul and in your history, 617 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: but not in your capacity, because now you have the 618 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: ability of Christ. And I think what we do is 619 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 1: we live in a very shallow realm of experiential Christianity. 620 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: And what these great mystics of my early years were 621 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: teaching me is that, oh, you can minister peace to 622 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: someone else, but you might first have to minister peace 623 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: to yourself. So then how do you first of all, 624 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: is it even biblical? Because we're word people. And what 625 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: you see here is if you go to Colossians, chapter three, 626 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 1: verse thirteen for fifteen fourteen says, above all these things 627 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: put on love. You put on love. It's like you 628 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: put on a coat, or you partake of the fruit. 629 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, 630 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: to which you're called in one body, Let the peace rule. 631 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: Let the peace be the umpire. So that I mean, 632 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,919 Speaker 1: I've had it happen, haven't you. I've had it happen 633 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: with both of you where we're an intense home situation 634 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: or intense work situation. And I might not be acting 635 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: in the fruit of the spirit, but I feel the 636 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: peace is lifting. I feel his sense of uneasiness. Well, 637 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: let the peace of God rule, meaning umpire. When the 638 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: peace lifts, it's time to stop what you're doing and 639 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: start to inquire, because God will call balls and strikes. 640 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: Peace will rule and go that's not me, or that's 641 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: not what I want right now, or that's not the 642 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: disposition of Jesus. And you could tell, if you're spiritually 643 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: grounded that the something this isn't right, and you actually, 644 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: if you have the ability, you could stop as I 645 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: had to do today and apologize and say I was wrong, 646 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: you apologize. I actually did apologize. 647 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 4: Not to me though it wasn't even to me, although maybe. 648 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: It was Mercedes. But the fact of the matter is 649 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: that the peace of God can be an umpire and 650 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: tell you when you're when you're right, and when you're wrong. True, 651 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: but letting the piece. The part that I'm saying is 652 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: what Gerald Durstein taught me is you may need to 653 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: minister peace to yourself because you can let the peace 654 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: of God rule in you. And so that's why I 655 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: have my little keyboard over here. You see. It used 656 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 1: to be that I used to play in my library 657 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: at night and worship and occasionally I'd invite you to 658 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: come in to the periscopian room and I would sing 659 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: until I became self conscious that I'm merely not a 660 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: great performer. So I felt I felt this for me 661 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: and the Lord, not for people. You're a great worshiper, 662 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: though I love worshiping. And so the point is I 663 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: would sing to the Lord, and then the peace of 664 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: God in some way, peace of God would come, probably 665 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: come up out of me, but it seems like it's 666 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: coming down on you. The point is you can let 667 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: the peace of God rule in your heart. And look 668 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: what it says right here, being thankful and let the 669 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: Word of Christ dwell in you richly. How do you 670 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: do that? You read, you study, you listen, You do 671 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: what we're doing now. You take time with the Word 672 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: of God, so that in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing 673 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: one another like we're doing here, we're talking. I know 674 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: I'm dominating because it's my platform. But sharing with each 675 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: other is how you let the Word dwell richly, let 676 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: the peace of God rule. Put on love. It's a 677 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: system where the Word and the Spirit and you and 678 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: I are interacted. But notice what catalyzes it, teaching and 679 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 680 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: singing with grace God's ability in your heart to the Lord. 681 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: So the singing, I believe, is a great activator. It's 682 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: why worship is more than just the song service before 683 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: the preaching. Worship is an environment catalyst. When you sing 684 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: about the peace of the Lord and sing to the 685 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: love of God, then the love of God begins to 686 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: rise up. The piece of God begins the rise because 687 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 1: it's actually it's in you. 688 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: It's like putting on putting on the garment of peries 689 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 2: for the spirit of heaviness, like you're doing the opposite, 690 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: and it works because it's it's what the Lord told 691 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 2: us to do. 692 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: So and you've been living proof of that. You are 693 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: living proof of that because Annabel's got this thing she 694 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: wants me to do. You know, I share all of 695 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: our gadgets with you all. So she's had brain scans. 696 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: Doctor Amen's brain scan. He's a friend of ours, and 697 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: he shows us. He does these brain scan and show 698 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: how your brain's working. Well, she did, she had She 699 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 1: wants me to get mine. I'm not ready for mine yet. 700 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: She she had hers done and she had some interesting 701 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: feedback when the doctor said, wow, you know, while they're 702 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: working with her in a brain scan, they go, you 703 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: have remarkable positivity, is what they said. 704 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 2: Yes, well, they do other tests besides the scan. The 705 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 2: scan showed that I should be depressed, have anxiety, and 706 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 2: be freaking out all the time, but because I have 707 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 2: this big positivity side, it eclipses all that. And I 708 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,919 Speaker 2: told doctor Johnson that basically it's because I'm spirit filled 709 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 2: Christian and I love to intercede and pray and God 710 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 2: just displaces all that because I just give it over 711 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 2: to him. I have friends and very close to people 712 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 2: in my life who have that, and I know it's 713 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 2: not me. I don't have that. I see it come 714 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 2: in and I send it right now, Elilia. 715 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: But let's see, that's just risus real people. I mean, 716 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: this is like she's saying that you know, and then 717 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: the doctor says, you know, you should be having this, 718 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: but you don't because we have another skill over here 719 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 1: you have which is called hope, it's called faith, called 720 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: holy ghost. Brother, it's called holy ghosts. It is the holy. 721 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 2: Ghost changes everything. 722 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: You know. That's true, the Lord, I would say too. 723 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 4: In this passage, a thing that stands out to me 724 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 4: is actually the fellowship of the brethren. That you're not 725 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 4: doing this by yourself, that this is being done with 726 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 4: a community around you. So whether you are going to 727 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 4: church actively or you have your own ecclesia or small group, 728 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 4: that this is something where you're teaching and monishing one 729 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 4: another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. So anyways, I 730 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 4: just thought that was fascinating that we're designed to do 731 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 4: life together in community. 732 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: Life together. Is he going to the board again, I'm 733 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: going to the board again. I just want to I 734 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: want to summarize. We only got two minutes left here. 735 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: Only I want to say that Christ is in you. 736 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: Jesus is in you. The Holy Spirit doesn't ever leave you. 737 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: So you've got Christ in you. Now. You may not 738 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: feel like the love of God is there, but it's there, 739 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: because if the Holy Spirit's in you, then the love 740 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: of God is there. The love of God is there, 741 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: The peace of God is there. The joy of God 742 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: is there. Hey, how about this, The patience of God 743 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: is there. The kindness of God is there, the goodness 744 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: of God. Self control is a fruit of the spirit, 745 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: not a gift. And therefore gifts are given to you 746 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 1: without your effort. Gifts are under the Christmas tree. Pine 747 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: cones grow on the Christmas tree. I think whatever gifts 748 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: are under the tree, you don't do anything for these. 749 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: But I want you to catch this great revelation that 750 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: came by the way of the Holy Spirit to brother Dursteme. 751 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: Jesus is in you. And a person is known by 752 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: their personality and their ability, and you have the personality 753 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: and character of Christ in you. Because the fruit of 754 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: the Spirit is the personality of Jesus. Jesus is the 755 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,720 Speaker 1: love of God. He is the joy of the Father. 756 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: He is the peace of God. He is patience and kindness. 757 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: He is that the goodness and gentleness. He is faithfulness, 758 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: he is self control. And if Christ is in you, 759 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: then you can become a partaker of the divine nature. 760 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: We didn't even go to that verse in the Bible. 761 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: Become a part taker of the divine nature. You can 762 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: partake of that nature so that that fruit that is 763 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: His becomes yours, and you become looking more and more 764 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: like a Christian. People see you, they see him. They 765 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: see you, and they see him because Christ in you 766 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: becomes a manifestation if you will of who He is, 767 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: and you look like a Christian. But not only that, 768 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: you have ability. Nine gifts here, nine fruit here, and 769 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: we can begin to experience and grow in prophecy and 770 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: words of wisdom, words, and we'll talk more about how 771 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: these gifts are being I believe that the gifts are 772 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: operating more than we think. We don't know how to 773 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 1: yield to them. A friend of mine, Kim Clement, used 774 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: to be visiting. He'd have images and cartoons and stuff 775 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: happening during meetings, and he started to realize the cartoon image. 776 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: Was it a distraction or his flesh or the devil. 777 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: It was a window into an insight, and the spirit 778 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: of God was talking to him in images, and he 779 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: started to say oh, and he started moving in prophetic 780 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 1: words of knowledge based on what he saw. There's ways 781 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: God might be talking you don't even realize. But there 782 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: are gifts of the spirit, the ability of Christ and 783 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 1: the character of Christ can float out of you because 784 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: it's not you, it's Christ in you, the hope of glory. 785 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: What an exciting life, What an exciting thought. And then 786 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: when we can learn how to minister or how to 787 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: take the fruit, boom off that and partake. You need 788 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: to partake of these. You can't give what you don't have. 789 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 1: And if you're not gentle with yourself, you can't be 790 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: gentle with others. If you're not patient with yourself, you 791 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: can't give patience. So there's a sense in which you 792 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 1: have to be partaker of the fruit to minister the fruit. 793 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 1: And that's going to be where I'm going to. I'm 794 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,399 Speaker 1: gonna land this stuff thought right now, there's and over 795 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: here I said earlier, the fruit of the spirit and 796 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,240 Speaker 1: the gifts of the spirit should be the symmetry balance 797 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,919 Speaker 1: that the High priest had a pomegranate and a belle, 798 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: a pomegranate and a belle, a fruit and a gift, 799 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 1: the fruit and the gift. All the way around the garment. 800 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: You could hear the gifts coming. But the pomegranate was 801 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: a symbol of the fruit, of the character of who 802 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: was there. We're called to be that manifestation of both. 803 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: Go to Lancewella dot com, sign up and join me. 804 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 1: You can go to Lance Willow dot com, Forward Slash 805 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: Podcast and stay connected.
