1 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Lance Wall Now Show. Today, we have 2 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: a very special guess one. It tends to throw me 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: off a little bit, but by popular demand, she's back 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: my wife of near forty years, Annabelle. How are you I. 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: Throw you off? What does that mean? 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: Well, I mean you know, I see right there, see 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: right there, you threw off my introduction. That's unpredictable when 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: you're on the show. We never know what she's going 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: to come up with. She asked me questions. And last 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: time we got into a marriage therapy session around Christmas 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: time when you were talking about I don't know what 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: I said. I said, would you like for Christmas? And 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: he said something like I'd like to have some more 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: time with my husband? Not opened up pandars. No, you said, you. 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: Said what would you change about me? 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: And I said, you are a schedule and you were like, 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: how could you say that so quickly you said? 18 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: My hair practically went straight back in my face. 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: Could have slowed motion to go. Okay, Now I'm wrestling 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: with this thing. So what I want to talk to 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: you about. We're gonna have a Bible study today because 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: you know Adam bel and I we originally scheduled this 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: is a Bible study, and this is going to be 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: a very 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 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: Unusual unusual Bible study. Our friend from Sri Lanka who 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: wishes to be man anonymous, now no accent, a perfectly 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: neutral accent. He told me that he and his wife 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: said that they grew up in in SriLankan and we 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: were told that that the reason why they like working 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: with Shriloana this is because a perfectly neutral accent. And 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: she said, yeah, that's what they told us, and I 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: laughed so hard that they were told they had a 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: perfectly neutral accent, which meant that all English is sounded 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: like they were the most anyway in our perfectly neutral accent. 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: We're going to go into today's Bible study. I'd like 37 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: to go to something in Galatians. That's what I chose 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: to What a coincidence. Now, listen, I was in Geraldurstein's 39 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: Christian retreat. There's a Christian retreat in Bradenton, Florida, and 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: I was teaching down there last week. And this is 41 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: where you know, we had an unusual honeymoon. We went 42 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: down there for our honeymoon. Part of it? Can I 43 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: remember part of it? My mother protested that I was 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: going to go in these unusual Christian places. James Kennedy 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: went to James Kennedy, d James Kennedy, Craviridge Presbyterian Church, 46 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: went and saw Derek Prince, my great Deliverance mentor, and 47 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Gerald Durstein Christian retreats. Anyway, these are the charismatic heroes 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: of my day. 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: Well to caliber balance us, what did she do? She 50 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: sent us Tocot and Disney World, So we had. 51 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: To counter bounce us. Yes, and Kennedy and James Kennedy 52 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: wasn't charismatic, which shows the eclectic nature of my attraction 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: to all of the diversity of the Bible and the 54 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: and the preachers and so listen. I was at Gerald 55 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: Ursine Christopher treat and I was reminded of the great 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: teaching that I got from Brother Durstein, and I don't 57 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: want to lose it because I mean, I need to 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: practice it. Because these people that if they're really an 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: annoyed to gift ministry, they deposit something in you because 60 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: it's not them, it's the spirit of Christ in them 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: that is teaching really great preaching, and great teaching should 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: be transformational because it puts something in you from them 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: and it kind of shapes you. Right. So did you 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: ever hear Gerald Durstein. 65 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, I met him, he and Beulah 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: when we were down there. 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: His wife of like what sixty something years, right, that's. 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Right, they married for like sixty seven years. Remarkable. So anyway, anyway, 69 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: but my purpose in telling you this is the impact 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that he had was in the teaching, and the teaching 71 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: was on I think he taught something I never heard before. 72 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: It was on the fruit of the spirit. So go 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: to Galatians chapter five, and I want to discuss with 74 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: you and see if you can remember this message. Annabelle, 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: I almost hesitated on teaching on this because it's such 76 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: a challenge, but I want to go there. Galatians chapter five. 77 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Now the apostle Paul is speaking here about spirit life. 78 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: Look at verse sixteen, so powerful, I say, then, I'm 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: reading from the New King James. I think, walk in 80 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: the flesh. Interesting statement. Now, you always are going to 82 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: have the luss of the flesh if you're not walking 83 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: in the spirit. This is like the law of gravity. 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: If you're not you know, go, if you're not flying, 85 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: then you're falling. So walking in the spirit is something 86 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: we should really learn how to do, because walking in 87 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: the spirit's capital at So the translators are thinking, this 88 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: is walking in the Holy Spirit. How do you walk 89 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: in the Holy Spirit? Beautiful? And if you do that, 90 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh, the appetites, 91 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: the inclinations, the you know, the desires of the fallen nature. 92 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: And what are those desires? Well, he says, right here, 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: the flesh lusts against the things of the spirit. It 94 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: has its own competing desire, and the spirit, curious enough, 95 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: has its own competing desire against the flesh. These are 96 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: contrary to one another, so that you do not do 97 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: the things you wish. So Paul's acknowledging that you have 98 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: a nature in you that wants to do the wrong thing. 99 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: It's the fallen nature. And the only way that you 100 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: can do that is to be led by the spirit. 101 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: So Paul says, if you're led by the spirit, you're 102 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: not under the law. There's so much depthiness because what 103 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Paul's saying is, you know what you're really wrestling with 104 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: is the law, and so I mean I won't go 105 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: there now. Now, the works of the flesh, you're evident 106 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: when they're manifest adultrey, fornication, on cleanness, lewdness, and so 107 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: those are all like the more obvious sins of the senses. 108 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Sexual immorality would be the category. But then look at 109 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: idolatry and sorcery. Sorcery is listed there. Sorcery is curious 110 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: because that's witchcraft as a work of the flesh. 111 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: It's a different source. 112 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: It's a different sorcery. It's kind of like sorcery with 113 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: witchcraft is when you're doing spells and incantations and working 114 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: with demons basically in order to orchestrate demons into someone's 115 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: life to do something. But if sorcery is a work 116 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: of the flesh, it's that form of manipulation and control 117 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: and psychological manipulation which is done by the soul, not 118 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: done by demon spirits, but done by the lower nature flesh. 119 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: Because all these are works of the flesh, not works 120 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: of demons. So there is a there is a sorcery 121 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: that is done in the flesh, and it's a form 122 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: of intimidation and manipulation and control. It's a form of witchcraft, 123 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: which is a work of the flesh. Interesting, witchcraft is 124 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: a work of the flesh, which is the inordinate desire 125 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: to control and dominate, manipulate other people apart from their awareness, hatred, contentions, jealousies, 126 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, 127 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: revelries and the like and the like. Basically just making 128 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: it this isn't a definitive list, is just Paul saying, 129 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: you've all seen this behavior. This is the flesh of 130 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: which I tell you beforehand, just as I told you 131 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: in time passed, those who practice these things will not 132 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: inherit the kingdom of God. Now that's a scary statement 133 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: because what he's saying is if this is dominant in 134 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: your life, any of these then is he's saying you're 135 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: not going to inherit the kingdom, You're not going to 136 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: go to heaven. I mean it sounds like what he's saying, 137 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: if these things are, these works are your everyday constant experience, 138 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: then you're not going to inherit the kingdom of Heaven. 139 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Now someone could argue with me on that, but I 140 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: mean it's a you're not going to inherit the Kingdom 141 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: of God. You're not going to inherit. This is something 142 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: you receive after your you know, a death. You're not 143 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: going to inherit. You're not going to be going that's 144 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: a scary thought. But the fruit of the spirit, the 145 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering. 146 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: Now Paul gets into the works of the flesh contrasted 147 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: with the fruit of the Spirit. So this is he's 148 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: he's using a distinction here. He's saying works are of 149 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: the flesh Verse nineteen. But now fruit of the spirit. 150 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Why would he contrast a work with a fruit because 151 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: the work is the outgrowth of the fallen nature. But 152 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: a fruit is something that grows on a vine. It 153 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: grows on something. And he's saying, you actually are grafted 154 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: into or connected to the Holy Spirit. Therefore, this is 155 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: fruit that comes from the Holy Spirit. It's not coming 156 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: from your fallen nature. So if you have Christ a 157 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: catch it. This is kind of complex, but it's beautiful. 158 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to live in the flesh. You can 159 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: live in the spirit. You don't have to walk in 160 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: the flesh. You can walk in the spirit. You don't 161 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: have to be doing the desires. Even though there's an 162 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: inclination in you which is human, you can go in 163 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: the other direction and the fruit is attached to something, 164 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: and the fruit of the spirit he lifts, and he 165 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: lists nine specific types of fruit that grow on a 166 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: Christian life attached to the Holy Spirit. So we're going 167 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: to take a break right now and we come right back. 168 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to delve into the supernatural fruit that you're 169 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: allowed to demonstrate, in fact, you're called to walk in 170 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: as a result of your attachment to the vine, which 171 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: is Christ. We'll be right back in some mercedes you 172 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: were saying. 173 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: To me on the break. 174 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: During the break, of course, she's always trying to make 175 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 1: sure that people aren't needlessly distressed. I said, those that 176 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: do such, i'll not inherit the Kingdom. And I'm reading it. 177 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: I used to teach, well, you're going to go to heaven. 178 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: It's just you don't inherit the Kingdom down here, which 179 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: is Righteous's peace and joy and the Holy Ghost. But 180 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, I could stretch it to say that, 181 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: but I could read it the way it's written and say, hey, 182 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: if you and you clarified in what sense would someone 183 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: not enter the kingdom with these characteristics, I thought, you're 184 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: saved by faith. 185 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, well I was reading where you were because 186 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: you know, you think hatred. Okay, well man, sometimes somebody 187 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: cuts me off in traffic. 188 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: I get a little angry at them. 189 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 5: You know, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions. I mean 190 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 5: that that is sid nature one. Oh what, that's all 191 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 5: inside of us? And so but when he gets down 192 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 5: into Galatians five twenty one and it says those who 193 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God, 194 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 5: and I thought, huh, I wonder what that word practice 195 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 5: actually means in the Greek. And so then I went 196 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 5: and looked it up on blue letter Bible, and it's 197 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 5: the word prasos. Prassos. Yeah, it's hard to say prass 198 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 5: so okay, but that means to perform repeatedly or habitually, 199 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 5: which is a distinct difference from a different way that 200 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 5: would be used as a single act. So this is 201 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 5: implying that this is something that's habitually done over and 202 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 5: over and over again. It's like your way of life 203 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 5: is that you're living this lifestyle, not the occasional. 204 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: I got angry and not. I just I felt conviction. 205 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 5: I repented, But it's almost like this lifestyle of I 206 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 5: don't even feel conviction over it anymore. 207 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: I love that. Okay. So it's a habitual life, so 208 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: you can habitually practice the fruit. Now practice it's an 209 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: interesting word because it implies you're working with it, you're 210 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: practicing it, you're developing it. The fruit of the spirit 211 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: is love, joy, and peace. Let's start right there. So, Annabelle, 212 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: you got your Bible there, Go to Colossians. Go to 213 00:12:51,200 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: Colossians chapter one, verse twenty seven, and you'll see something 214 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: kind of interesting here. It says in Colossians chapter one, 215 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: verse twenty seven that there's a mystery that was hidden 216 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: from the beginning of time but has now been revealed 217 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: to us. And I think it's the mystery that has 218 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: to do with Christ and the spirit filled life that 219 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: was reserved for the New Covenant. 220 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: You got it there, No, only pages are stuck together 221 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: Bible here it is Colossians. What they couldn't he get 222 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 2: it to open? 223 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Our Bible pages are stuck together. People. 224 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: It's just bought me this Bible, and I'd really only 225 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: use it a few times so far because it's. 226 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: It's the Brian Bible, by the way, has a spirit 227 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: of Stuney. 228 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 4: It's a Brian Bible. 229 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 3: I'm just like, what do you want me to read 230 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: Washian's one. 231 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: On twenty seven one? I have to seeing the fruit 232 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: of patients on my Bible study. 233 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: I would be a fruit inspector. Are do not have 234 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: any patience? 235 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: No patience? 236 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Okay, back to you, chet to them. 237 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: God has chosen to make known among the gentiles the 238 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, 239 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: the hope of glory. 240 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: So Christ in you is the mystery. The reason I'm 241 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: saying that is because where does the fruit of the 242 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: spirit come from. It comes from Christ in you. A 243 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: christ Jian is someone who has Christ in them. So 244 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: when you say Lord Jesus, you know forgive my sins 245 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: or whatever He comes in to you. By the Holy Spirit, 246 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: Christ comes into you. Remember the Trinity, it's all three 247 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: is one. So when the Holy Spirit comes in, Christ 248 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: comes into your heart. And technically this is where it 249 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: becomes very interesting. Christ does not come into your body 250 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: though he's inside you. Christ isn't coming into your soul. 251 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: Although your soul begins to get saved. Christ comes into 252 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: your spirit, which means your spirit is transform made new. 253 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: The Greek word there says that your spirit is transfigured 254 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: into a new entity. So the deepest part of you 255 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: Christ and you dwell together as a new creature. If 256 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. So 257 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: you could say, the fruit of the spirit comes out 258 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: of your spirit as it works its way through the 259 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: layers of your soul and your body, and it's manifested 260 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: the world around you. Okay, And so this is a 261 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: beautiful mystery of working out your own salvation with fear 262 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: and trembling, working out from your spirit man through your mind, 263 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: your emotions, your will, your personal history, your personality, and 264 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: then your body, how you feel that day, what's going on. 265 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: And then it goes on to say him we preach 266 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: in verse twenty eight, warning every man and teaching every 267 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: man in all wisdom that he may present We may 268 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end, 269 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: I labor and strive according to His working, which works 270 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: in me mightily. That word for working is the word 271 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: get this one e n E r g eia. It's 272 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: where you get the word energy. 273 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: Yes, what mind says with all his energy, working power. 274 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: Oh. So your translation says with all his energy. The 275 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: English word energy comes from this word energy, oh, usually 276 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: describing the working of God, but also can be used 277 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: of Satan with empowering the Antichrist. It's say, so the 278 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: Antichrist isn't working with anything other than what you're working with. 279 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Was just spiritual power, energizing. But here it's the spirit 280 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: of God's working in you, mightily working in you. What 281 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: working from your spirit man out through your mind, through 282 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: your words, through your thinking. This is why that great 283 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: verse in the Bible that says in Romans, be not 284 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing 285 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: of your mind, letting that soul, which is where your 286 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: emotions and your will, and your memory and your imagination 287 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: and your logic, having that altered by the word of 288 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: God and your regenerated spirit working it out. You go 289 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: over here to verse twenty two of chapter five of Galatians. 290 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace. 291 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: Make a note of this. Somebody pointed this out to 292 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: me once, that the first three concern our relationship with God. 293 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: That God gives you love and joy and peace. That 294 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: this is a fruit that comes right from heaven. Peace 295 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: I leave with you. Jesus said, not as the world gives. 296 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: And these things I say to you that my joy. 297 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: Maybe so you've got the peace of God, the joy 298 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: of God, the love of God. Romans five to five 299 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: shed abroad in your heart. 300 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: Well, two of them are part of the kingdom, is righteousness, 301 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 2: peace and joy. So two of those fruit are part 302 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: two thirds of the kingdom. 303 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: The thirds of the kingdom, according to the Word of God, 304 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: is right there in the first three. So the first 305 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: three are from heaven to you. They're for you. But 306 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: now I think long suffering, kindness, and goodness are really 307 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: they deal with other people. Let's just do a little 308 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: Bible study here. Human The second three are the virtues 309 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: that we extend to others. Long suffering and kindness and goodness. 310 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: Those are relational. Now I could use a little more 311 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: fruit of the spirit manifest in the area of long suffering, kindness, 312 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: and goodness. And then I believe the final three third group, 313 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: what it is that we minister back to the Lord 314 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: in terms of self control, in terms of faithfulness. Let's 315 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: see it says yeah, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. I 316 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: think those three are like God word The third group 317 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: describes principles a guide to Christian's conduct generally so, but 318 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: those they break down into God to you, you to others, 319 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: and then these are enable you to walk in Christian 320 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: conduct that honors God, which is that self control and 321 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: faithfulness to God, and gentleness. 322 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 5: Don't you think though they could all be for God 323 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 5: and all be for other people? 324 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: Well, they certainly could be. Just wondering, they certainly could be. 325 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I just. 326 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 5: Gentleness like you are with little lex or I am liberty, gentleness, gentleness. 327 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: With your Yeah, you know, you're right. The generalists kind 328 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: of like is throwing me off there, except the actual 329 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: word there is in gentleness. The actual Greek word is meekness, 330 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: which means the yielding of the will, Which is why 331 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the meekness and self control of thing. 332 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: I just remember these that I get that I remember 333 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: these three were taught to me by divinity. Professor I never, 334 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: but I can't remember the third category. The first one 335 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: was from God to you, The second one is from 336 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: you to others, things that God ministers to you, things 337 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: that your minister to others. And then I thought, the 338 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: third one has to do with you walking the Christian Walk. 339 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 3: But it was like Bill Gothard to me, we should 340 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 3: go find your Bill gotherrit books. 341 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: Go find my Bill Gothard notebooking and get that out, because. 342 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: I would think love and joy also are for other people, 343 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 5: you know, like not just for the Lord. I would think, 344 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 5: like I love you know, and the question is what 345 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 5: type of love? 346 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: But I agree, I do agree with you. I think 347 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: I think that we minister. So now I don't about 348 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: any thoughts on this before I. 349 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 4: Go to the going to the board. 350 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm going to go. I thought that as 351 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: long as I want, I can do two more minutes 352 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: if one. 353 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: I want to just say longer if I want of 354 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: my own show. 355 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 3: All I want to say is the fruit inspections not 356 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 3: just for other peoples, for ourselves. So if we don't 357 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 3: inspect ourselves or think about it, we may never even 358 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 3: notice if we're not having any of these or some 359 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: of these. 360 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: So I actually think it's an amazing. 361 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: Art form to be your own fruit inspector and think 362 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: about it, because sometimes we just let ourselves be very 363 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 3: sloppy agape or very just sloppy in general. 364 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: And when you pull pull up and look at some 365 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: of this stuff. 366 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: It actually might be a little bit of a rebuke 367 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 3: from the Lord, but you can hear it just because 368 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: you're open to it. 369 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: Well, how can you tell? 370 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: How can you tell? Because you know yourself really well 371 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: if you're in the word of God. The more you're 372 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: in the Word of God, you can kind of like 373 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 2: a mirror. 374 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: Right. 375 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: So all I'm saying about it is it wouldn't be. 376 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: A big a big difference for many people to think 377 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: about these words. Like you might think, oh, I really 378 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 3: am fruitful and all all of these ways, but you 379 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: might think, I think I'm going to work on this 380 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: one fruit right now. You know, I'm going to add 381 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 3: a little bit of time in this and try to 382 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: you know, self control. I think that's my worst fruit 383 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 3: of all of them, because I get myself permission to 384 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 3: do whatever I want. Sometimes I'm like, oh. 385 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: That, I mean, well, self control sometimes is like why 386 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: fasting is so challenging. I can remember why I didn't 387 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: want to wear the blue shirt in front of here 388 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: before because I got lost in the back drop. 389 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 4: You do look like a flake. 390 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I should probably draw an outline of my shirt and 391 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: yellow all right, So. 392 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 5: Hey, can I just say that was a really good 393 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 5: word that Animel just shared. I think that's a really 394 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 5: good word. 395 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: What was she saying? 396 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 5: Well, what I when I heard she said a lot. 397 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 5: But my takeaway was essentially, you know, you kind of 398 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 5: read this and you like, maybe you apply it to 399 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: your spouse, maybe you apply it to cool workers, you know, 400 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 5: but you should be applying it to you that you 401 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 5: should be your own fruit inspector and saying, well, hold 402 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 5: on a second, what am I exhibiting here? My exhibiting 403 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 5: the flash? Am I exhibiting the fruit of the spirit? 404 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 5: And maybe my bananas look good, but my coconuts need 405 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 5: some maturing, you know, I don't know, But I'm. 406 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: Just saying that we should be inspecting our own fruit. 407 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: Well, I got your bananas and coconuts, people, That's all 408 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: I can say. So Jesus in you. So what we're 409 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: learning here is and we're gonna we're gonna study this together. 410 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: All the fruit and nine fruit of the Spirit are 411 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: for are for people. I'll agree, I think everybody needs them. 412 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they don't need love, they 413 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: don't need joy, they don't need peace, they need all 414 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: of it. What I learned from doctor Durstein philed you know, 415 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: Gerald Durstein and his son phil Is that jesz Us. 416 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: Gerald is I was a Mennonite preacher and it was 417 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: really educated by the Lord in a revival. And the 418 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: Lord started speaking to him and said, I want you 419 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: to minister the kingdom. And of course he saw aa Allen, 420 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: he saw great preachers, Oral Roberts, and he said he 421 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: thought that was the ministry. And the Lord spoke to 422 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: him and said, there's two ways that you actually get 423 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: to discover who Jesus is. Jesus says both a character 424 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: are personality, and Jesus also has an ability. Any person 425 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: is known by their character and known by their ability 426 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: what they can do and their personality, and then what 427 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: their talents are personality until you could say this could 428 00:24:53,760 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: be the personality and their particular talent, what it is skill, 429 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: what it is that this makes them unique. Now, what 430 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit showed Gerald Durstein, which I never forgot, 431 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: is that the character of Jesus is revealed in the 432 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: fruit of the Spirit. So Annabel, the reason why those 433 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: words are so important is because Jesus is both a 434 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: personality and an ability. And if Christ is in you, 435 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: then in you you have his ability. And you have 436 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: his personality. What keeps us from manifesting it is we 437 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: really never put it together this way. So the fruit 438 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: attached to the vine Jesus is love and joy and 439 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: peace and patience. What else do we have? Our Annabel 440 00:25:49,440 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: and kindness yep, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, kindness, goodness, faithfusess and 441 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: self control, gent illness and self contul one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 442 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: self control. 443 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if you got gentlemen, and I'm. 444 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: Going to put gentleness in there. 445 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 2: It's in the Bible. I just read them reading in 446 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: a row. 447 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: But here's the point. You have all these in you. 448 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: You might say, well, I'm not very loving, yet the 449 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: Bible says in Romans five five, God has shed his 450 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: love abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit who 451 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: is in you. So the Holy Spirit is going to 452 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: minister Jesus through you. You have all nine of the attributes. 453 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: And here's what made Jered Durstein's revelation so interesting that, 454 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: as Mercedes said, you might think that you're only ministering 455 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: all I wish I could be spiritual enough to pray 456 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: for the sick and they be healed, or to have 457 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: words of knowledge I can prophet, but we'll come over 458 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: to here. That's going to be the ability of Jesus. 459 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: But you have the fruit of the spirit, and people 460 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: can taste the love of God, the joy of the Lord, 461 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: or the peace of God. Those three things particularly, you 462 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: can minister to them because christ In you can actually 463 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: minister through you the love of God. Christ In you came, 464 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: minister through you Peace. Christ In you ki minister through 465 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: you the Joy. And I think I've seen this, and 466 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: I think you've done it, and I don't think you've 467 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: properly analyzed what's going on. Whenever you're ministering in your 468 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: someone else's spirits lifted, strengthen in some way. We are 469 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: ministering to each other. You're not. Your flesh isn't going 470 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: to refresh somebody. It's going to be the spirit of 471 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: Christ in you is actually communicating through impartation. Through impartation, right, 472 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: this is what comes through you. 473 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: You're dispensing the life. 474 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: You have this, you have this ability on it. But 475 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: I really believe this. I believe you minister your minister 476 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: joy and you minister life. Have you ever had people 477 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: come up to you and say, you know, I feel 478 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: better just talking to you. What they're saying is something 479 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: here of Jesus left a residue on them. So when 480 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: they left you, they're a little calmer they left you, 481 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: they're a little more hopeful. They left you, they were stronger. 482 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: Christ in you was ministering to them. Now the gifts 483 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: of the spirit, which are in Corinthians chapter twelve, first Grinthians, 484 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: chapter twelve, and those you can group together. They are 485 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: the revelation gifts, they are the verbal gifts, and they 486 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: are the power gifts. That's why I was wonder if 487 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: there's categories here. You see where my brain has gone, 488 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: because I know that there's categories for the gifts or 489 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: the ability of Christ. Now the ability of Christ. So 490 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: what do we have listed at the top of the 491 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: list of revelation gifts? 492 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 5: Mercedes, The first one you're saying is a word of wisdom, So. 493 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: It's a word of wisdom. 494 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: Next one is a word of knowledge, word of. 495 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: Knowledge, next one faith, gifts of faith, and each of 496 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: these is a teaching in themselves. What is the difference 497 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: between a word of wisdom and a word of knowledge? 498 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: And then we have the gifts of prophecy. 499 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 4: Healings, healing, and then the working of miracles, working of miracles, 500 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 4: and then prophecy and prophecy. Let them keep. 501 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 5: Going, or you gonna what else do we have discerning 502 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 5: of spirits? 503 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: Discerning of spirits? 504 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 5: Buckle up for those who don't believe this one different 505 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 5: kinds of tongues, and then there's tongues, and then an 506 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 5: interpretation of tongues. 507 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: An interpretation. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Oh, 508 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: look at this we have, as we're running out of ink. 509 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: Here we have nine fruit of the spirit, and we 510 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: have nine gifts of the spirit. Isn't that curious? So 511 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: the high priest had on the hem of their garment. 512 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: Watch this down here they had a bell and a pomegranate, 513 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: and a bell and a pomegranate, and a bell and 514 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: a pomegran and perfect symmetry. What in the world is 515 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: God saying? God wants you as his priest, to have 516 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: the fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the 517 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: spirit working in symmetry in your personality, so that you 518 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: have the bell, which is the gift, and the pomegranate, 519 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: which is the fruit, both of these working together, both 520 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: of these moving in harmony. One is the sound that 521 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: is a it's calling you to see something. The other 522 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: is something you could taste. That's the fruit. People come 523 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: up against you and they taste your spirit. People are 524 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: impacted by you through your gifts, talents, and abilities that 525 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: are infused with the gifts of the spirit. 526 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 3: Well, our friend Coiletta teaches about the fragrance that you 527 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 3: leave behind in the room. 528 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. 529 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: It's an interesting concept. 530 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 4: Like for it is I w walk comment too. I 531 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 4: don't know, we have a little bit left. 532 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 533 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 5: Well, I was just going to say, you know, an 534 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 5: interesting aspect of being in ministry and kind of serving 535 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 5: in ministry for as long as you know, you guys 536 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 5: have and I know Larry and I are in and 537 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 5: out of it, that just because somebody has a gift 538 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 5: of the spirit doesn't mean they're operating in the fruit 539 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 5: of the spirit. And I think oftentimes in the body 540 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 5: of Christ, you can look at a man or a 541 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 5: woman of God and say, but they're prophesying and they're 542 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 5: doing these things, but then it's they don't have the 543 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 5: corresponding fruit to go with it. 544 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 4: And so I just thought that was like an interesting. 545 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: That's that's what Dave Yarne was just saying. Before he's like, 546 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 3: Matthew seven, Jesus is saying, I never knew you. Yes, 547 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 3: like you did the prophecy, you did this, you did 548 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 3: all this stuff, but I never knew you. 549 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: That's this scary. 550 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: That's scary for me. 551 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 5: That's like the scariest word in the Bible of that 552 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 5: we cast out demons in your name, we prophesied in 553 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 5: your name. And Jesus says, away from me, for I 554 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 5: never knew you. And it's like, that's that's why annabelt 555 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 5: Animal's point. You got to be your own fruit inspector. 556 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 5: You can't be living and practicing those habitual, fleshly things. 557 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: And I have to say also, you need to have 558 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: genuine Christian relationships because if if any man, you know, 559 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: if a man sins, you go to him and tell 560 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: him his fault between you and him alone. If you 561 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: don't have anyone that could ever tell you your fault or 562 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: your sin or I am it's so healthy when you're 563 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: with people that will call you fruit inspect your behavior. Hey, 564 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,239 Speaker 1: that wasn't right, what you did was wrong. That was 565 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: It's helpful. Hey, listen, you want to come right back 566 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: after this break because we're not done yet. Welcome back 567 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: to the landswalling up, Preble said, we're having an argument here, 568 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: a debate about the ready the brief break about the 569 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: fruit of the spirit. And what could be more ironic 570 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: than a debate about the fruit, but such as the 571 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: nature of the flesh that Mercedes gets in. 572 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 4: Oh now, hilarious. 573 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: But you know, like, I just want to say that, 574 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: have you ever read these stories that are really cool 575 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: about people that have gone to heaven and you have 576 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: you noticed the stories that one of the characterism is 577 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: the fruit that's there. I don't know if you've been 578 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: reading this, but I mean, I'm serious. I got these 579 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: great testimonies that people that have gone to heaven and 580 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: they you know, and they're there and they and they 581 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: describe the fruit trees because the tree of life is there. 582 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this is like theology, but these 583 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: are great testimony. Book let it's like Paradise. There's one 584 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: book I read by the End Time Handmaids or Swing 585 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: years ago. I never forgot it. It's about a person's 586 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: journey to heaven to see how heaven is. Jesse de 587 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: Planets has been there, He's talked about other people have 588 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: talked about it. But it talked about the tree of 589 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: life is there. Michael Kropts, the man the center of 590 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: that died and went to heaven and came back to 591 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: those friends of ours. He said, the tree of life 592 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: was there. He saw it. Now, this tree is it 593 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: grows all over the place in heaven, and there's fruit 594 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: on the tree. Remember thou shalt not eat of the 595 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: fruit of the tree. Well, the tree has fruit. Well, anyway, 596 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: I'm reading the I'm reading various books, and these people 597 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: didn't even know each other. They describe their heavenly experience. 598 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 4: Wow. 599 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: And they said when they got there, when they get 600 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: to heaven, they can barely handle the glory. I mean 601 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: they're in there, they're in a spirit form, but still 602 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: getting acclimated to that environment. You know what it's like 603 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: when you go down under the power. If you're Pentecostal, 604 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: if you're in a meeting, we could barely stand up. 605 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: In the Old Testament, the priests fell down because of 606 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: the glory. Well, in heaven like, people would get there 607 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: and they could barely handle the journey. They just got 608 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: there and they could barely handle the journey entering in 609 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: and coming in. But someone would come along to encourage 610 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: them and give them fruit, and they'd eat the fruit, 611 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: and the fruit suddenly strengthened them. And the fruit that 612 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: came from the tree of life was like different colors, 613 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: and it was like a metallic looking gold or a 614 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: silver or the copper, or different colors than on earth 615 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: that you see. But the fruit would give you a 616 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: certain virtue of the Spirit of God would go into 617 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: your spirit man, and you would suddenly be It's almost 618 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: like the fruit of peace and the fruit of joy 619 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: or the fruit of love coming off the tree of life, 620 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: because the fruit of the spirit, it comes off of 621 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: the life of the Holy Spirit. And so you say, 622 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm not a very kind or a very patient person, 623 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: But that's true in your soul and in your history, 624 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: but not in your capacity, because now you have the 625 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: ability of Christ. And I think what we do is 626 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: we live in a very shallow realm of experiential Christianity. 627 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: And what these great mystics of my early years were 628 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: teaching me is that, oh, you can minister peace to 629 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: someone else, but you might first have to minister peace 630 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: to yourself. So then how do you first of all, 631 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: is it even biblical? Because we're word people, and what 632 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,760 Speaker 1: you see here is if you go to Colossians chapter three, 633 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: verse thirteen for fifteen fourteen says, above all these things 634 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: put on love. You put on love. It's like you 635 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 1: put on a coat, or you partake of the fruit. 636 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 1: And let the peace of God rule in your hearts 637 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: to which you were called in one body. Let the 638 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: peace rule. Let the peace be the umpire. So that 639 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I've had it happen, haven't you. I've had 640 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: it happen with both of you where we're an intense 641 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: home situation or intense work situation. And I might not 642 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: be acting in the fruit of the spirit, but I 643 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: feel the peace is lifting. I feel his sense of uneasiness. Well, 644 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: let the peace of God rule, meaning umpire. When the 645 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: peace lifts, it's time to stop what you're doing and 646 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: start to inquire, because God will call balls and strikes. 647 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: Peace will rule and go that's not me, or that's 648 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: not what I want right now, or that's not the 649 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: disposition of Jesus. And you could tell, if you're spiritually grounded, 650 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: that the something this isn't right, and you actually, if 651 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: you have the ability, you could stop as I had 652 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: to do today and apologize and say I was wrong, 653 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: you apologize. I actually did apologize. 654 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 4: Not to me though it wasn't even to me, although maybe. 655 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: It was Mercedes. But the fact of the matter is 656 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: that the peace of God can be an umpire and 657 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: tell you when you're when you're right, and when you're 658 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: wrong true. But letting the piece. The part that I'm 659 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: saying is what Geraldurstein taught me is you may need 660 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: to minister peace to yourself because you can let the 661 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: peace of God rule in you. And so that's why 662 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: I have my little keyboard over here. You see. It 663 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: used to be that I used to play in my 664 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: library at night and worship, and occasionally I'd invite you 665 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: to come in to the periscopian room and I would 666 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: sing until I became self conscious that I'm merely not 667 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: a great performer. So I felt I felt this for 668 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: me and the Lord, not for people. 669 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 2: You're a great worshiper, though. 670 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: I love worshiping. And so the point is I would 671 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 1: sing to the Lord, and then the peace of God 672 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: in some way, peace of God would come, probably come 673 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: up out of me, but it seems like it's coming 674 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,479 Speaker 1: down on you. But the point is, you can let 675 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: the piece of God rule in your heart. Now, look 676 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: what it says right here, being thankful and let the 677 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: Word of Christ dwell and you richly. How do you 678 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 1: do that? You read, you study, you listen, you do 679 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: what we're doing now. You take time with the Word 680 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: of God, so that in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing 681 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: one another, like we're doing here, we're talking. I know 682 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm dominating because it's my platform. But sharing with each 683 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: other is how you let the Word dwell richly, let 684 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: the peace of God rule. Put on love. It's a 685 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 1: system where the Word and the spirit and you and 686 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: I are interacted. But notice what catalyzes it, teaching and 687 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 688 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: singing with grace God's ability in your heart to the Lord. 689 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: So the singing, I believe, is a great activator. It's 690 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: why worship is more than just the song service before 691 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,760 Speaker 1: the preaching. Worship is an environment catalyst. When you sing 692 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: about the peace of the Lord and sing to the 693 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: love of God, then the love of God begins to 694 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: rise up, the piece of God begins to rise because 695 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: it's actually it's in you. 696 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 3: It's like putting on putting on the garment of peries 697 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 3: for the spirit of heaviness, Like you're doing the opposite 698 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 3: and it works because it's it's what the Lord told 699 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: us to do. 700 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: So and you've been living proof of that. You are 701 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: living proof of that because Annabel's got this thing she 702 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: wants me to do. You know, I share all of 703 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: our gadgets with you all. So she's had brain scans. 704 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: Doctor Amen's brain scan. He's a friend of ours, and 705 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: he shows us he does these brain scan and show 706 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: how your brain's working. Well, she did, she had She 707 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: wants me to get mine. I'm not ready for mine yet. 708 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: She she had hers done and she had some interesting 709 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: feedback where the doctor said, wow, you know, while they're 710 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: working with her in a brain scan, they go, you 711 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: have her remarkable positivity is what they said. 712 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 3: Yes, well, they do other tests besides the scan. The 713 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: scan showed that I should be depressed, have anxiety, and 714 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 3: be freaking out all the time, but because I have 715 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 3: this big positivity side, it eclipses all that. And I 716 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 3: told doctor Johnson that basically it's because I'm spirit filled 717 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 3: Christian and I love to intercede and pray and God 718 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 3: just displaces all that because I just give it over 719 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 3: to him. I have friends and very close people in 720 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 3: my life who have that, and I know it's not me. 721 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 2: I don't have that. 722 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 3: I see it come in and I send it right now, Elilia. 723 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: But let's see, that's just rissus real people. I mean, 724 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: this is like she's saying that you know, and then 725 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: the doctor says, you know, you should be having this, 726 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: but you don't because we have another scial over here. 727 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: You have which is called hope, it's called. 728 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 2: Faith, called holy ghost, brother. 729 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: It's called holy ghosts. 730 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 2: It is the holy ghost changes everything. 731 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 3: You know. 732 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 4: That's true. 733 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 5: The Lord, I would say too in this passage, a 734 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 5: thing that stands out me is essentially the fellowship of 735 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,439 Speaker 5: the brethren. That you're not doing this by yourself, that 736 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 5: this is being done with a community around you. So 737 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 5: whether you are going to church actively or you have 738 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 5: your own ecclesia or small group, that this is something 739 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 5: where you're teaching and monishing one another in psalms, hymns 740 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 5: and spiritual songs. So anyways, I just thought that was 741 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 5: fascinating that we're designed to do life together in community. 742 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: Life together. 743 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 4: Is he going to the board again, I'm going to 744 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 4: the board again. 745 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: I just want to I want to summarize. We only 746 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 1: got two minutes left here. Only I want to say 747 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: that Christ is in you. Jesus is in you. The 748 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit doesn't ever leave you. So you've got Christ 749 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: in you. Now. You may not feel like the love 750 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: of God is there, but it's there, because if the 751 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit's in you, then the love of God is there. 752 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: The love of God is there, the peace of God 753 00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: is there, The joy of God is there. Hey, how 754 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: about this, The patience of God is there. The kindness 755 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,280 Speaker 1: of God is there, the goodness of God. Self control 756 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: is a fruit of the spirit, not a gift. And 757 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: therefore gifts are given to you without your effort. Gifts 758 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: are under the Christmas tree. Pine cones grow on the 759 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:29,439 Speaker 1: Christmas tree. I think whatever gifts are under the tree, 760 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: you don't do anything for these. But I want you 761 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: to catch this great revelation that came by the way 762 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit to brother Dursteme. Jesus is in you. 763 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: And a person is known by their personality and their ability, 764 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: and you have the personality and character of Christ in you. 765 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 1: Because the fruit of the Spirit is the personality of Jesus. 766 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: Jesus is the love of God. He is the joy 767 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: of the Father. He is the peace of God. He 768 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: is patience and kind, he is that goodness and gentleness. 769 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 1: He is faithfulness, he is self control. And if Christ 770 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: is in you, then you can become a partaker of 771 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: the divine nature. We didn't even go to that verse 772 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 1: in the Bible. Become a part taker of the divine nature. 773 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: You can partake of that nature so that that fruit 774 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: that is his becomes yours, and you become looking more 775 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: and more like a Christian. People see you, they see him. 776 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: They see you, and they see him because Christ in 777 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: you becomes a manifestation if you will of who He is, 778 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: and you look like a Christian. But not only that, 779 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: you have ability. Nine gifts here, nine fruit here, and 780 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: we can begin to experience and grow in prophecy and 781 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: words of wisdom, words, and we'll talk more about how 782 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: these gifts are being I believe that the gifts are 783 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: operating more than we think. We don't know how to 784 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: yield to them. A friend of mine can Clement, used 785 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,240 Speaker 1: to be visited. He'd have images and cartoons and stuff 786 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: happening during meetings, and he started to realize the cartoon 787 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,760 Speaker 1: image was it a distraction or his flesh or the devil. 788 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: It was a window into an insight, and the Spirit 789 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: of God was talking to him in images, and he 790 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 1: started to say oh, and he started moving in prophetic 791 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 1: words of knowledge based on what he saw. There's ways 792 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: God might be talking you don't even realize. But there 793 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: are gifts of the spirit. The ability of Christ and 794 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: the character of Christ can float out of you because 795 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: it's not you, it's Christ in you. The hope of glory. 796 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: What an exciting life, What an exciting thought. And then 797 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: when we can learn how to minister or how to 798 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: take the fruit, boom off that and partake. You need 799 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: to partake of these. You can't give what you don't have. 800 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 1: And if you're not gentle with yourself, you can't be 801 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: gentle with others. If you're not patient with yourself, you 802 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: can't give patience. So there's a sense in which you 803 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: have to be part hakre of the fruit to minister 804 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 1: the fruit. And that's going to be where I'm going to. 805 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna land this stuff thought right now, there's and 806 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: over here I said earlier, the fruit of the spirit 807 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 1: and the gifts of the spirit should be the symmetry 808 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: balance that the High priest had a pomegranate and a 809 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: bell a pomegranate and a bell a fruit and a gift. 810 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: The fruit and the gift. All the way around the garment. 811 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: You could hear the gifts coming, But the pomegranate was 812 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,919 Speaker 1: a symbol of the fruit, of the character of who 813 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,399 Speaker 1: was there. We're called to be that manifestation of both. 814 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: Go to lancewillow dot com, sign up and join me. 815 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: You can go to Lance willow dot com, Forward Slash 816 00:47:43,520 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: podcast and stay connected.
