WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.100 I'm trying to feel what feels right to start this. 00:03.000 --> 00:10.220 I don't like the interruptions, like the mic doesn't work and this, that and the other, 00:10.240 --> 00:13.720 because it gets your mind off of where it should be. 00:17.080 --> 00:21.560 It's another reason I try not to make myself too available before services, 00:22.540 --> 00:26.640 because inevitably someone will come in with some kind of complaint that they want to talk about. 00:27.520 --> 00:32.360 And it's like... and it takes your... it's not that you can't talk about it. 00:32.620 --> 00:38.880 It gets your mind off of and onto thinking about stuff it shouldn't be thinking about. 00:38.980 --> 00:40.220 So let's just start with some prayer. 00:42.380 --> 00:45.060 Thank you Father for your goodness and your mercy. 00:46.260 --> 00:48.160 Thank you Father for your children. 00:49.240 --> 00:54.180 Thank you for your overwhelming love and kindness towards us. 00:55.820 --> 00:59.040 Thank you for everything you do for us. 01:01.100 --> 01:02.500 We worship you. 01:04.060 --> 01:05.400 We give you praise. 01:08.220 --> 01:11.280 We worship you. We worship you. We worship you. 01:14.620 --> 01:18.220 Le'eremono sananete menesiotto comonota. 01:18.440 --> 01:19.840 We welcome you Holy Spirit. 01:20.260 --> 01:21.560 Come speak to us. 01:22.600 --> 01:24.900 Talk to us. Work with us this morning. 01:24.900 --> 01:27.520 Not only during the prayer time, but during the service time. 01:28.580 --> 01:31.340 Speak to us. Work with us in Jesus' name. 01:32.720 --> 01:33.740 In Jesus' name. 01:35.400 --> 01:38.420 So I want to talk about something this morning I've talked about before. 01:38.660 --> 01:42.100 The Lord asked me this question maybe that's a few years. 01:42.820 --> 01:46.040 I'd say two or three, but it's probably five or six, 01:46.120 --> 01:49.100 because the older I get the worse I am on. 01:49.980 --> 01:51.260 It didn't seem that long ago. 01:51.260 --> 01:52.840 Really, it was that long ago. 01:53.480 --> 01:54.580 So it's back a ways. 01:55.960 --> 01:57.400 He asked me this question. 01:57.920 --> 01:59.080 He said, when you pray, 01:59.980 --> 02:04.380 why do you pray like you're trying to convince me to do something 02:05.140 --> 02:06.860 that I already want to do? 02:10.820 --> 02:12.700 Which really made me stop and think. 02:14.480 --> 02:17.620 Because, well, most of us learn to pray by watching somebody else. 02:18.300 --> 02:20.140 If we grew up in a Christian home, 02:20.220 --> 02:22.640 we probably learned to pray by watching our parents 02:22.640 --> 02:26.120 or if we went to church and watched the people pray there, 02:26.880 --> 02:28.320 we learned to pray that way. 02:28.920 --> 02:30.720 And this is something interesting 02:32.280 --> 02:33.840 that I've noted over the years. 02:34.440 --> 02:37.200 And it's just, I just say it as a point of 02:38.760 --> 02:40.480 you were given what you were given, 02:40.600 --> 02:42.980 now you're going to have to deal with that. 02:43.440 --> 02:46.820 For instance, I was raised in an assembly of God background. 02:48.000 --> 02:50.200 And there's some really good things about that. 02:50.200 --> 02:51.720 And there's some things that are not all that great. 02:52.860 --> 02:55.120 When it comes to prayer, there's some good things. 02:56.380 --> 02:58.900 And then there's some things that are not all that great. 02:59.700 --> 03:03.540 So I learned to pray like the assemblies of God prayed. 03:07.840 --> 03:10.160 And my experience, of course I'm not, 03:10.500 --> 03:12.260 I didn't know the assemblies of God around the world. 03:12.740 --> 03:14.540 I knew my church that I grew up in. 03:14.540 --> 03:17.220 And my experience there was 03:18.620 --> 03:20.980 what God asked me the question about. 03:23.120 --> 03:26.400 Why are you asking me to do something 03:26.400 --> 03:28.860 in a way where you're trying to convince me 03:30.600 --> 03:32.520 when I already promised it? 03:34.400 --> 03:36.160 And I'll give examples of that. 03:36.260 --> 03:38.300 So I won't sit there long because we'll come back to that. 03:38.980 --> 03:41.600 If you were raised in, 03:41.600 --> 03:46.560 I had my best friend in high school was a Baptist 03:49.220 --> 03:52.880 and had a few Baptist friends, good friends. 03:53.260 --> 03:54.620 So it's nothing against them. 03:54.740 --> 03:56.340 This is how they prayed, though. 03:57.280 --> 04:01.100 Very short, very choppy, 04:02.460 --> 04:05.020 because it's like it didn't flow out of them. 04:05.480 --> 04:07.960 They had to stop and think what would be the next phrase. 04:09.000 --> 04:11.160 And at least once in the prayer, 04:11.740 --> 04:13.460 it would be if it's your will, God. 04:15.360 --> 04:18.120 If it's your will, it would be nice. 04:19.220 --> 04:20.640 And that's how they prayed. 04:24.260 --> 04:26.740 My Lutheran friends, we had a few. 04:26.980 --> 04:28.500 There was a small Lutheran church in town. 04:29.300 --> 04:32.420 My Lutheran friends didn't pray much at all. 04:32.840 --> 04:33.820 You never heard them. 04:35.000 --> 04:36.940 And my Catholic friends never prayed. 04:36.940 --> 04:38.060 They were quiet. 04:39.900 --> 04:41.680 They never prayed out loud. 04:42.020 --> 04:43.500 I mean, they prayed the rosary and stuff, 04:43.840 --> 04:45.660 but it was quiet. 04:46.340 --> 04:48.080 They didn't verbalize anything. 04:48.280 --> 04:49.340 At least that was our community. 04:50.880 --> 04:53.180 So when you come into adulthood, 04:54.200 --> 04:55.440 that's what you bring with you. 04:58.100 --> 05:00.060 So if as an adult, 05:03.480 --> 05:06.180 you experienced Christ in a salvation way 05:06.180 --> 05:08.300 that was different than early on 05:08.300 --> 05:10.380 when you were growing up, 05:11.680 --> 05:13.660 as an adult, then you're going to bring 05:13.660 --> 05:14.960 that habit pattern with you. 05:15.000 --> 05:16.600 You're going to really struggle to pray out loud 05:17.580 --> 05:18.440 as a Catholic. 05:22.040 --> 05:23.740 It's nothing wrong with you 05:23.740 --> 05:25.640 other than that's how you were trained. 05:26.360 --> 05:27.140 That's how you were taught. 05:28.520 --> 05:31.300 So to pray out loud is going to take some practice. 05:31.420 --> 05:32.440 It's going to take some work. 05:34.140 --> 05:36.340 If you were like my Baptist friend, 05:36.700 --> 05:38.300 to learn how to flow 05:39.680 --> 05:42.060 and get rid of the attitude of, 05:42.200 --> 05:44.140 well, we'll pray and we'll just see what God does 05:44.140 --> 05:45.660 because we don't know what his will is, 05:46.140 --> 05:47.620 you're going to have to lose that 05:48.760 --> 05:50.600 if you want to pray scriptural prayers. 05:52.140 --> 05:53.840 And you're going to have to be able to pray. 05:56.060 --> 05:58.120 It will eventually, as you practice, 05:58.360 --> 06:00.820 it will eventually get past one sentence, 06:00.820 --> 06:03.140 two sentences, chopped up, broken. 06:04.000 --> 06:05.640 That's just, in my experience, 06:05.800 --> 06:06.860 that's how they learned how to pray, 06:06.940 --> 06:07.700 and that's how they pray. 06:08.700 --> 06:11.220 If you were raised full gospel, 06:11.580 --> 06:13.620 faith, charismatic, this, that, and the other, 06:14.060 --> 06:16.180 if you were, and I'll just come from my perspective, 06:16.360 --> 06:18.720 everybody was probably brought up differently 06:18.720 --> 06:20.400 whatever church they were tied into. 06:21.020 --> 06:22.720 But if you were raised like me, 06:23.780 --> 06:25.400 we would convince God 06:28.180 --> 06:30.020 that he needed to do something. 06:31.180 --> 06:32.780 And I'll just give you some examples. 06:32.880 --> 06:34.120 Like, for instance, coming to a service, 06:34.240 --> 06:36.480 I presume everybody prays for the services. 06:37.260 --> 06:39.080 If not, we should teach a lesson 06:39.080 --> 06:41.120 on why you need to pray for the church service. 06:42.660 --> 06:45.300 But I'm presuming everybody prays for the church service, 06:45.300 --> 06:46.680 so let's start at that presumption. 06:48.540 --> 06:51.800 Lord, we really want you to move this morning. 06:52.040 --> 06:53.860 If you could come and do something, 06:53.860 --> 06:58.100 we would, God, we're just hungry for you to show up. 06:58.120 --> 07:01.440 We're just hungry for you to do something with us 07:01.440 --> 07:03.220 and work in the service 07:03.220 --> 07:04.940 and that your spirit would manifest. 07:05.340 --> 07:07.540 And please, God. 07:10.180 --> 07:12.540 See, everything we just prayed 07:13.920 --> 07:17.180 according to the word he already wants to do. 07:18.940 --> 07:21.400 Why are we trying to talk him into it? 07:26.150 --> 07:27.630 We're saying a lot of words. 07:27.770 --> 07:30.270 We might even be very, very sincere in what we're praying. 07:31.130 --> 07:33.110 But it's a very unscriptural prayer. 07:35.890 --> 07:37.370 He already wants to do it. 07:37.470 --> 07:40.190 He already promised to do it. 07:41.250 --> 07:43.770 So we're not really exercising faith on it. 07:45.910 --> 07:47.730 We're just asking him to do it. 07:48.730 --> 07:50.610 Well, he already said, if two or three agree, 07:51.630 --> 07:53.210 come together in my name. 07:53.730 --> 07:54.770 I'm in the midst of them. 07:55.370 --> 07:56.990 That's his desire. 07:59.850 --> 08:00.370 Healing. 08:01.930 --> 08:02.690 Another one. 08:03.930 --> 08:06.650 Lord, if it be in your will, 08:06.830 --> 08:08.410 if you could heal this person, 08:08.530 --> 08:11.570 Lord, we believe by his stripes they are healed. 08:11.990 --> 08:13.750 So Lord, if you would do this, 08:14.070 --> 08:15.390 we're asking you to do this. 08:15.430 --> 08:17.590 And there's nothing wrong with asking once or twice. 08:17.590 --> 08:20.010 But when that becomes the whole prayer, 08:20.730 --> 08:21.830 that becomes a problem. 08:22.790 --> 08:24.830 So Lord, we're wanting you to do this. 08:24.970 --> 08:26.890 You know that it would bring you glory. 08:27.210 --> 08:30.210 You know that it would be an awesome testimony. 08:30.970 --> 08:34.010 So we're just praying and believing, God, 08:34.070 --> 08:36.190 that you're going to step in here and you're going to do something. 08:37.990 --> 08:39.910 We're trying to convince him to do something. 08:42.070 --> 08:44.310 He's already convinced he wants to heal. 08:45.870 --> 08:49.690 I mean, that was one of the major things in the prophecies 08:49.690 --> 08:52.210 that he died for is our healing. 08:53.470 --> 08:55.650 So he is absolutely... 08:55.650 --> 08:57.250 you don't have to talk him into it. 08:58.870 --> 09:04.310 He wants to do it more than we want at times. 09:08.070 --> 09:12.170 Oh, let's hit something that's real relevant right now. 09:12.490 --> 09:12.910 New building. 09:13.430 --> 09:14.910 We're believing for a new building. 09:16.610 --> 09:19.250 So Lord, if you could give the money for that building, 09:19.610 --> 09:22.590 we don't have the money, God. 09:23.110 --> 09:24.370 You know we don't have the money. 09:25.190 --> 09:27.830 So if you could find a way to make this happen, 09:27.970 --> 09:30.070 I mean, without you we can't get this done 09:30.070 --> 09:33.210 and we're waiting for you to do something in this. 09:33.330 --> 09:35.670 So if you could do it sooner rather than later, 09:35.810 --> 09:36.530 that would be better. 09:36.990 --> 09:39.970 And Lord, we're just looking forward 09:39.970 --> 09:43.070 to tap somebody on the shoulder 09:43.070 --> 09:45.310 that has money so they give. 09:48.670 --> 09:50.490 Okay, now stop and think about that prayer. 09:52.530 --> 09:54.110 We're trying to convince him. 09:56.750 --> 09:58.030 We're trying to convince him. 10:00.110 --> 10:01.970 So the question is... 10:03.370 --> 10:05.790 and again, it's just the way... 10:05.790 --> 10:07.750 that's the way I was taught to pray. 10:08.870 --> 10:10.370 To beg, to plead, 10:13.950 --> 10:17.510 to lay hold to the horns of the altar. 10:20.360 --> 10:22.780 If any of you were raised A.G., you probably heard that. 10:25.320 --> 10:28.140 Grab the horns of the altar and don't let go. 10:29.640 --> 10:31.740 And it's like, well the picture in my mind, 10:31.940 --> 10:33.960 it's a nice Old Testament picture. 10:34.120 --> 10:35.320 I have nothing wrong with the picture, 10:35.560 --> 10:37.580 but the picture that it comes up in me 10:37.580 --> 10:39.580 is you're going to just stay there and beg and plead 10:39.580 --> 10:41.800 and just hang on, 10:42.120 --> 10:43.680 hoping God does something. 10:44.720 --> 10:45.560 And see, that's not faith. 10:48.980 --> 10:51.100 So, what are we supposed to 10:51.100 --> 10:52.900 approach some of these like? 10:53.220 --> 10:55.400 What are we supposed to pray like? 10:56.420 --> 10:58.900 Well, we know if we don't pray in faith, 10:59.100 --> 10:59.720 nothing happens. 11:01.600 --> 11:03.440 Faith has to be the core. 11:04.160 --> 11:05.260 Faith has to be the source. 11:06.600 --> 11:07.600 What is faith? 11:08.580 --> 11:11.260 Hebrews 11-1, somebody tell me what faith is 11:11.260 --> 11:12.620 in the NIV version. 11:13.540 --> 11:15.220 That's King James, but that's all right. 11:15.280 --> 11:15.900 We'll go with that. 11:18.280 --> 11:19.520 Give me the King James. 11:19.660 --> 11:23.260 Faith, substance of things hoped for. 11:26.420 --> 11:28.540 Okay, does anybody know the NIV? 11:31.040 --> 11:32.620 It'd be good to learn that one too. 11:33.740 --> 11:35.440 Amplified too, if you've got extra time. 11:37.700 --> 11:41.680 Faith is being sure of what you hope for. 11:42.160 --> 11:44.520 They put sure in for the word substance, 11:44.780 --> 11:47.880 which is another definition to that Greek word. 11:48.580 --> 11:50.280 Faith is being sure of what you hope for 11:50.280 --> 11:55.040 and certain of what you do not see. 12:04.420 --> 12:06.100 What comes before faith? 12:06.580 --> 12:07.760 According to that verse. 12:08.680 --> 12:10.220 Hope, what's hope? 12:13.960 --> 12:17.180 Joyful, confident expectation of something good. 12:18.560 --> 12:21.500 How do you get hope according to the Scripture? 12:22.280 --> 12:23.840 I believe it's found in Romans 15. 12:26.520 --> 12:27.880 Word and... 12:27.880 --> 12:28.620 You got half of it. 12:31.060 --> 12:32.100 Starts with the S. 12:35.350 --> 12:39.450 You get hope by the Word and the Spirit. 12:42.270 --> 12:42.750 Okay? 12:43.250 --> 12:45.490 By the Word and the Spirit, you get hope. 12:46.670 --> 12:46.910 Okay? 12:48.630 --> 12:51.270 For us to get hope, and we have to have hope 12:51.270 --> 12:52.070 before we can have faith. 12:53.810 --> 12:57.450 For us to get hope, something has to be said to us. 12:57.510 --> 13:00.770 Let's just coin that Word and Spirit together 13:00.770 --> 13:02.610 as something needs to be said to us. 13:03.510 --> 13:06.150 This is the Ramah word, this is the spoken word of God. 13:06.630 --> 13:10.950 Faith comes by hearing the Ramah. 13:10.950 --> 13:11.670 Word. 13:12.330 --> 13:14.950 The spoken word of God. 13:15.890 --> 13:17.910 The Logos word, the written word, 13:18.050 --> 13:20.370 we can read that all day long and get a lot of knowledge 13:20.370 --> 13:21.210 but have no faith. 13:22.770 --> 13:25.730 We can quote it and have no faith. 13:27.090 --> 13:30.630 Faith comes when God speaks something into our heart. 13:31.110 --> 13:32.490 Remember Romans 10. 13:33.290 --> 13:36.770 With our heart, we believe. 13:37.510 --> 13:39.830 And with our mouth, we confess. 13:39.830 --> 13:42.450 Faith originates in the heart, not the head. 13:43.710 --> 13:45.170 Logos goes to the head. 13:45.910 --> 13:48.170 The written word goes to the head, it's knowledge. 13:48.810 --> 13:52.510 When God speaks something to you, you get it in your head 13:52.510 --> 13:54.890 but it drops into your heart 13:54.890 --> 13:56.550 and the King James word is correct. 13:56.710 --> 13:58.950 It becomes like a substance in you. 14:00.390 --> 14:02.950 That you just know that you know. 14:03.070 --> 14:04.770 That's what Paul is talking about in Ephesians. 14:05.270 --> 14:07.650 He was praying for the church to have knowledge 14:07.650 --> 14:11.290 that they know beyond knowledge. 14:11.990 --> 14:15.390 They know beyond knowledge. 14:16.330 --> 14:17.990 They may know in their head 14:17.990 --> 14:21.070 but he's praying that it drops into their heart 14:21.070 --> 14:21.890 and they know. 14:22.510 --> 14:24.350 So when God speaks something to us 14:24.350 --> 14:25.710 and it drops into our heart 14:25.710 --> 14:29.510 the first thing that pops up is hope. 14:30.750 --> 14:34.670 A joyful, confident expectation. 14:34.670 --> 14:35.770 Whoa. 14:37.030 --> 14:38.470 Meaning God wants to do that? 14:38.750 --> 14:39.130 Wow. 14:39.710 --> 14:42.690 And it drops in there and it takes form. 14:43.330 --> 14:46.250 A joyful, confident expectation of something good. 14:47.170 --> 14:48.630 That's not faith yet. 14:50.090 --> 14:50.870 That's hope. 14:52.710 --> 14:54.490 And a lot of Christians will stop right there 14:54.490 --> 14:55.270 and think they're in faith. 14:55.430 --> 14:56.110 No, you're in hope. 14:57.690 --> 14:59.990 The difference, hope has to stay there 14:59.990 --> 15:03.550 and then faith becomes sure of that hope. 15:03.550 --> 15:06.370 The difference between hope and faith 15:06.370 --> 15:09.190 is faith is certain. 15:10.450 --> 15:12.750 Hope you can still be talked out of. 15:14.430 --> 15:15.410 It's an excitement. 15:15.710 --> 15:16.270 It's a joy, boy. 15:16.330 --> 15:16.850 This is coming. 15:17.150 --> 15:18.090 This is what God spoke to me. 15:18.810 --> 15:19.270 Whoa, whoa, whoa. 15:19.450 --> 15:21.390 Ah, that'll never happen for you. 15:21.770 --> 15:23.210 Let me tell you some stories. 15:24.370 --> 15:25.970 And by the time they're done 15:27.110 --> 15:28.890 what's going on inside of you is like, 15:29.670 --> 15:31.050 well, I don't know. 15:31.210 --> 15:32.350 I thought God talked to me. 15:32.350 --> 15:34.230 Yeah, I was all excited. 15:34.470 --> 15:35.070 Now I'm confused. 15:35.790 --> 15:39.090 And that's what happens to hope. 15:40.370 --> 15:43.490 When you get the Lord speaks to you, 15:43.610 --> 15:44.550 Holy Spirit speaks to you, 15:44.630 --> 15:46.690 and it drops into your heart and you get hope. 15:48.210 --> 15:51.510 At that point, my recommendation is always this. 15:51.850 --> 15:52.650 Don't go tell anybody. 15:54.510 --> 15:55.730 Don't go tell anybody. 15:56.330 --> 15:58.610 Just conceal that, cover that, 15:59.210 --> 16:01.990 nurture it, and turn it into faith. 16:03.770 --> 16:04.950 Once you have faith, 16:05.130 --> 16:06.670 now if you feel to share it, that's fine. 16:06.790 --> 16:08.670 Once you have faith, nobody can talk you out of it. 16:09.990 --> 16:11.090 Once you have faith, 16:11.210 --> 16:12.770 when people say it won't work for you, 16:13.570 --> 16:14.630 what comes up in you? 16:14.750 --> 16:15.490 Oh, it's too bad. 16:15.970 --> 16:17.790 You got to be too late because I know. 16:19.050 --> 16:20.150 This isn't a, 16:20.670 --> 16:22.610 we're going to figure this out in our head thing. 16:23.070 --> 16:25.090 This is I know in my heart. 16:25.230 --> 16:26.850 This is what God said. 16:26.850 --> 16:29.290 And you can't talk me out of it. 16:30.090 --> 16:32.590 But you have to nurture hope 16:32.590 --> 16:35.410 to bring it to that point of faith. 16:35.850 --> 16:37.250 You say, how do you nurture it? 16:37.670 --> 16:39.530 Hope is a joyful emotion, 16:40.610 --> 16:41.170 confident, 16:42.870 --> 16:44.170 still kind of an emotional thing. 16:44.230 --> 16:45.790 It can be somewhat in your heart. 16:46.910 --> 16:48.010 Expectation, emotion. 16:49.510 --> 16:52.110 Joyful, confident expectation of something good. 16:53.050 --> 16:55.990 So we have a lot of emotion being stirred in hope. 16:55.990 --> 16:57.570 And that's okay. 16:59.590 --> 17:02.110 Emotion was actually given to help us, 17:02.150 --> 17:04.950 not hurt us in the original design. 17:06.150 --> 17:07.930 Now we have to fight with it some 17:07.930 --> 17:09.450 as we're in this fall in creation. 17:09.730 --> 17:11.530 But you have to control the emotion 17:11.530 --> 17:13.830 and keep a handle on it. 17:14.230 --> 17:16.510 But God still uses emotion. 17:21.550 --> 17:23.770 See, I'm going to talk about supernatural this morning 17:23.770 --> 17:26.290 and my mind immediately jumps to 17:29.920 --> 17:31.840 some of the things I'm going to share there. 17:32.700 --> 17:34.840 But I'll just throw this one thought in. 17:39.230 --> 17:40.370 It can happen. 17:41.070 --> 17:42.710 You can never say God can't, 17:42.790 --> 17:45.110 because God can do what God can do. 17:46.150 --> 17:47.330 It can happen. 17:48.530 --> 17:51.390 But the people who receive the quickest 17:51.390 --> 17:53.670 and the easiest and retain 17:53.670 --> 17:56.590 are the ones who will engage emotionally 17:56.590 --> 17:58.570 with the supernatural when it takes place. 17:59.590 --> 18:01.850 Now that doesn't always look the same. 18:03.310 --> 18:05.390 My emotions and my wifey emotions 18:05.390 --> 18:06.670 look totally different. 18:08.550 --> 18:11.030 And that's okay. Everybody's made different. 18:12.510 --> 18:15.590 But if we're going to be stoic and solid 18:15.590 --> 18:17.090 and I'm going to feel nothing, 18:17.430 --> 18:18.050 pray for me. 18:20.290 --> 18:21.830 You might get something. 18:24.590 --> 18:26.430 But my experience is 18:26.430 --> 18:28.830 those people get a whole lot less 18:29.310 --> 18:30.930 if they get anything at all. 18:33.070 --> 18:37.110 Did you know that hunger triggers an emotion? 18:39.290 --> 18:41.190 Thirst triggers an emotion? 18:43.350 --> 18:45.550 It's not like we're driving down the road 18:45.550 --> 18:46.890 and all of a sudden we think, 18:47.010 --> 18:48.890 you know, I think I feel hungry right now. 18:49.970 --> 18:51.310 So I will be hungry. 18:52.190 --> 18:53.550 Huh, I should find a place to eat 18:53.550 --> 18:55.650 because I'm pretty much hungry right now. 18:55.730 --> 18:56.410 I've decided that. 18:58.390 --> 19:01.230 No, hunger starts in the physical body, 19:01.230 --> 19:02.430 starts calling for food. 19:02.690 --> 19:04.970 And the next thing that follows it is emotion. 19:06.590 --> 19:07.510 I'm hungry. 19:08.370 --> 19:09.410 I need something to eat. 19:10.870 --> 19:13.150 Well, we're not eating for five more hours. 19:13.350 --> 19:13.610 What? 19:15.250 --> 19:17.390 That emotion stirs right up 19:18.270 --> 19:20.870 because hunger touches, thirst touches emotion. 19:22.390 --> 19:24.190 You get somebody really thirsty, 19:25.290 --> 19:26.590 especially if they're a child. 19:27.130 --> 19:29.430 I feel like I'm dying. I'm so thirsty. 19:29.790 --> 19:30.890 What are they talking? Emotion. 19:33.470 --> 19:36.070 So to hunger and thirst after righteousness 19:36.070 --> 19:37.850 will move emotion. 19:39.490 --> 19:42.010 Pure emotion less is not God. 19:43.950 --> 19:44.910 So hope 19:46.090 --> 19:48.330 dwells more in emotion than faith does. 19:48.330 --> 19:49.970 Faith is almost pure logic. 19:51.250 --> 19:53.330 There's not much emotion tied to it. 19:54.450 --> 19:58.130 The only emotion that I find tied to my faith 19:58.130 --> 20:00.450 is when there's an obstacle, 20:00.810 --> 20:03.730 and it's demonic usually, there's an obstacle, 20:04.190 --> 20:06.810 and I've been believing and believing and believing and believing 20:06.810 --> 20:08.690 and all of a sudden something will rise up in me 20:08.690 --> 20:09.690 and it's like I'm killing you. 20:10.870 --> 20:12.550 I'm done with you now. 20:13.370 --> 20:16.130 And that emotion of almost a 20:16.130 --> 20:20.170 a holy anger comes up. 20:20.350 --> 20:22.250 But that's the only emotion that I've really experienced 20:22.670 --> 20:24.370 tied to faith. Faith is a very logical. 20:24.510 --> 20:25.710 It's done. It's mine. I own it. 20:26.170 --> 20:28.470 Amplified says faith is the title deed 20:29.770 --> 20:31.030 of things hoped for. 20:31.870 --> 20:33.070 We own it. It's ours. 20:33.590 --> 20:35.210 This is just a logical fact. 20:38.290 --> 20:40.870 So to pray in faith 20:42.170 --> 20:44.110 we have to have heard 20:44.110 --> 20:45.470 from God 20:50.120 --> 20:52.300 more than just reading out of the book 20:52.300 --> 20:54.100 and there's nothing wrong with reading out of the book 20:54.100 --> 20:56.220 but more than just reading out of the book 20:56.220 --> 20:57.900 we've had to 20:57.900 --> 21:00.000 heard from God. 21:02.280 --> 21:04.560 Faith comes by hearing 21:04.560 --> 21:07.620 the reima, the spoken word. 21:07.820 --> 21:10.200 Not the logos. There's two words in the New Testament 21:10.780 --> 21:13.240 that are translated W-O-R-D. 21:13.780 --> 21:15.560 Word. One is logos. 21:15.840 --> 21:18.100 It's the written, printed, it's the book you carry. 21:18.100 --> 21:21.100 The other is reima. It's the spoken 21:21.100 --> 21:22.880 that God has given into your heart. 21:24.460 --> 21:28.460 Faith comes by the spoken word. 21:30.080 --> 21:32.740 One scripture spoken to us 21:33.820 --> 21:36.700 will do as much as five books we memorized 21:37.340 --> 21:38.280 or more. 21:39.560 --> 21:41.420 Because just because we memorized them 21:41.420 --> 21:44.260 doesn't mean God spoke it into our heart. 21:44.540 --> 21:46.840 Once it's spoken to our heart, hope appears 21:46.840 --> 21:50.020 and then we nurture that and we get into the word 21:50.020 --> 21:51.360 and we find more scriptures. 21:52.480 --> 21:55.220 I always ask Holy Spirit, give me more confirmations 21:55.220 --> 21:57.800 of this. Give me more scriptures to surround this. 21:58.240 --> 22:00.420 I want the wet concrete now 22:01.160 --> 22:04.000 to become very solid and hard 22:04.000 --> 22:07.240 in my heart. I know that 22:07.240 --> 22:10.920 I know and here's what scripture says about it. 22:11.640 --> 22:12.540 Now we've got faith. 22:13.760 --> 22:18.320 Okay, so has God spoken to us 22:18.320 --> 22:19.760 about the building? 22:21.840 --> 22:23.820 So then how do we pray about it? 22:26.910 --> 22:28.290 We already own it. 22:29.770 --> 22:32.530 In the spirit. It's already ours. 22:34.230 --> 22:37.310 So if you already have a car parked in your driveway, 22:37.310 --> 22:39.070 why do you keep asking God for one? 22:40.790 --> 22:42.510 Yeah, but it's not physically there. 22:42.510 --> 22:45.930 Yeah, but faith calls those things that are not 22:45.930 --> 22:48.790 physically there yet as though they were 22:49.550 --> 22:50.570 Romans 4. 22:54.360 --> 22:56.520 So we start with praise and thanks. 22:56.700 --> 22:58.700 Lord, thank you for the new building. 22:59.640 --> 23:02.740 We have received it. 23:03.920 --> 23:06.060 See, once you receive it, you know it's yours. 23:07.280 --> 23:09.780 Once I give you a gift 23:09.780 --> 23:12.340 and you take it, 23:14.040 --> 23:15.620 whose gift is it at that point? 23:15.760 --> 23:16.120 It's yours. 23:18.340 --> 23:19.640 Christmas is coming this week. 23:19.860 --> 23:21.820 Just take a child and give them a gift 23:21.820 --> 23:22.780 and then say, ah, joking. 23:23.860 --> 23:26.300 It's not yours, mine.
