WEBVTT 00:01.780 --> 00:04.420 Well, we are at war, in case you didn't notice. 00:05.420 --> 00:12.560 Just have to announce that. I do it so casual, because I think I'm never not in it, right? 00:12.780 --> 00:18.880 So it isn't like, you know, it isn't like all of a sudden, oh no, we're at war, and I got to get all hyped. 00:19.360 --> 00:22.600 We're in it on a continual basis. We're fighting the fight of faith. 00:23.820 --> 00:28.320 The biggest war we fight is between our ears, and that's on the mainland. 00:29.060 --> 00:41.300 And controlling that, you know, and getting that under control within ourselves is the power of God really operating so that we can be obedient. 00:42.600 --> 00:48.440 And so in any case, we're going to go back and talk a little bit about the dross this morning. 00:48.540 --> 00:56.560 And then I want to gather in groups and or altogether and pray regarding Red Lake and some other places. 00:56.560 --> 01:04.020 I will tell you that demonic flare up has been a little interesting. 01:04.800 --> 01:14.400 We had some of this when we were in Colorado, you know, we came out one morning and our dog was cut in half, and the pieces laid ritualistically all just perfectly. 01:14.980 --> 01:23.020 So it was kind of like, you know, or there'd be messages left on our answering service from the satanic church, you know, clearing messages, 01:23.020 --> 01:25.980 and they'd be speaking backwards like they do or whatever. 01:26.360 --> 01:30.340 And, you know, I could just keep naming things. 01:31.200 --> 01:34.340 And I want to give glory to that, but I do want to say we're at war. 01:35.100 --> 01:44.000 And so there's something about, though, that churches that have been taken over already by the power of witchcraft that look a form of religion, 01:44.180 --> 01:50.300 but look like there's no witchcraft here. Everything's wonderful. We're all just wonderful. 01:51.580 --> 01:57.340 They don't know what's taking place. They don't know the war that's against them. 01:57.840 --> 02:03.700 When you're a church that follows the spirit, when you're a church that addresses things governmentally, 02:04.240 --> 02:09.080 or like we address witchcraft in a region, just witchcraft in a region. 02:09.200 --> 02:10.900 I mean, that's pretty big statement, right? 02:11.460 --> 02:19.160 And so when that happens, you take some things off and some things were already ticked off that they readjust themselves. 02:19.160 --> 02:23.920 But people are actually being sent. There's people being sent. 02:24.320 --> 02:28.560 We're dealing with another church in the north that we're going to go and minister at together. 02:28.860 --> 02:32.940 I've ministered there once where there's been some attacks. 02:34.980 --> 02:41.340 Down closer to us, there's been some churches that it's like full on witches are showing up. 02:41.780 --> 02:45.920 And by the spirit, the pastors know, I see you, right? 02:45.920 --> 02:48.960 The Lord's highlighting them and they're getting addressed. 02:49.260 --> 02:50.840 Well, things get hot when that happens. 02:52.080 --> 02:55.520 So we got a little activity that goes on here also. 02:57.120 --> 02:58.140 Just so you know. 02:58.480 --> 03:02.300 So we've been talking about the dross. 03:02.980 --> 03:08.880 And the dross for us is important to get that putrid stuff out because that's one of the things. 03:09.080 --> 03:13.260 That's the description of the dross, the stuff that's impure, the stuff that's gross, 03:13.260 --> 03:18.620 the stuff that it brings harm, the stuff that doesn't show the real picture of who you are. 03:19.460 --> 03:24.460 Just like in silver, if you take a look at a piece of silver and you can go online and look this up, 03:25.160 --> 03:26.920 you'll see it just looks like a funky rock. 03:27.700 --> 03:30.100 There's nothing really attractive about it or whatever. 03:30.660 --> 03:34.720 But who it is can't be seen because of the stuff that's hanging on it. 03:35.120 --> 03:36.920 And that gets burned off first. 03:37.100 --> 03:41.900 Then they run it through again to pull out the dross that's in the inside of it. 03:42.540 --> 03:45.480 You're just dropping off chunks of things and melting things. 03:45.880 --> 03:50.480 And then you're pulling out the dross that no one could see up to this point. 03:51.040 --> 03:57.440 Then there's a period of time you'll go through as God does this in whatever areas he's doing this for the church or whatever. 03:57.980 --> 04:01.160 If you look at a piece of silver, okay, so now the dross is out. 04:01.360 --> 04:07.800 It's kind of, I don't know, looks kind of not shiny or it's just kind of still looks like a rock. 04:07.800 --> 04:12.120 A silver rock, but it looks like until it's buffed. 04:12.120 --> 04:14.160 And God will take you through a buffing time. 04:14.680 --> 04:16.380 Then we're first ready. 04:17.300 --> 04:20.320 God will use you at all different levels in all different areas. 04:20.600 --> 04:31.600 But overall then we become first ready to shine and to also to see the reflection of Christ out of because you've been buffed up. 04:31.600 --> 04:38.360 So now there's going to be such an influence when people come near you. 04:39.200 --> 04:43.720 God will use you in a way where you're standing there and they see their reflection. 04:44.320 --> 04:46.760 When they're looking at that silver they see themselves. 04:48.940 --> 04:53.440 They see themselves and salvation can come out of that. Conviction can come out of that. 04:53.880 --> 04:55.100 They might get mad and leave you. 04:55.340 --> 04:57.580 Something comes out of it because they saw themself. 04:58.140 --> 05:01.440 Because when we're under the power of sin we can't see ourselves. 05:02.360 --> 05:04.880 We know something's jacked but we don't know what it is. 05:05.260 --> 05:06.380 We're just like we're just a mess. 05:06.580 --> 05:11.100 But what is it really until the Holy Spirit shows you and you see yourself? 05:11.460 --> 05:15.340 The same way in the temple when you go through the temple you'd come through the gates of praise. 05:15.660 --> 05:19.800 And as you're walking through there's a place where you would look at yourself. 05:20.860 --> 05:24.340 You'd wash your face and take a good look at yourself. 05:24.340 --> 05:26.120 That's giving an estimate of yourself. 05:26.320 --> 05:31.020 That's giving something where you're seeing that reflection. 05:33.000 --> 05:35.140 And God's wanting us to see that. 05:35.460 --> 05:36.340 Here's what I'm seeing. 05:37.120 --> 05:40.300 It's happening all over the place but people don't want to look. 05:42.980 --> 05:45.620 They don't want to look because we have been trained. 05:46.100 --> 05:48.960 Seeker-sensitive, user-friendly means you stay to yourself. 05:49.120 --> 05:49.840 Everyone's smiling. 05:50.360 --> 05:52.420 You carry your Bible a certain way. Praise God. 05:53.900 --> 05:55.600 We just have a wonderful life. 05:55.820 --> 05:58.960 And you fight all the way home with your family. 05:59.880 --> 06:03.060 And there's big accusations at home that no one can know about. 06:03.220 --> 06:05.800 You keep everything concealed so nothing can be healed. 06:07.900 --> 06:09.640 That's what the practice has been. 06:10.260 --> 06:18.040 And I have found that deliverance comes when I talk about how God pulled some of the dross out of me. 06:19.020 --> 06:20.640 Like if I'm going to share my testimony. 06:20.640 --> 06:24.880 It's more powerful to me to share how I pulled the dross out. 06:25.180 --> 06:29.680 Then I have found it to be like in 1981 I gave my heart to Christ. 06:30.060 --> 06:32.100 And God changed my life forever. 06:32.380 --> 06:33.520 And those are wonderful things. 06:33.660 --> 06:34.840 Those are like, yeah, testify. 06:35.500 --> 06:37.860 But when I start talking about the dross, 06:38.020 --> 06:40.540 it gives other people permission to see themselves. 06:43.460 --> 06:46.640 Right? They're looking at my life and where it's been buffed. 06:47.440 --> 06:48.800 I still need some buffing out. 06:48.920 --> 06:49.960 I still need some fire. 06:49.960 --> 06:51.160 I still need that. 06:51.360 --> 06:54.960 But the areas that is buffed, they see themselves and suddenly it's like, 06:55.120 --> 06:58.020 wait a minute, I need God. 06:59.580 --> 07:00.460 I need God. 07:01.160 --> 07:09.020 So it's important that we know that this is not a thing that is a bad thing. 07:09.200 --> 07:11.980 You know, like, oh, now we're going to have to go through something again. 07:12.340 --> 07:14.200 You're going to go through fire either way. 07:15.140 --> 07:18.540 It's either the fire hell that's already present here on the earth. 07:19.940 --> 07:21.480 This is hell on earth. 07:22.560 --> 07:22.800 Right? 07:23.100 --> 07:25.960 Then when a person goes to hell, that's a whole other level of hell. 07:27.560 --> 07:28.360 I'm just saying. 07:28.800 --> 07:31.160 And you can bring heaven down to earth, 07:31.300 --> 07:33.740 but it's nothing like heaven and heaven. 07:34.360 --> 07:34.440 Right? 07:35.260 --> 07:37.900 We're pulling on it, though, to get this to cross over. 07:38.020 --> 07:40.440 So you have hell on earth and you have heaven on earth. 07:40.480 --> 07:43.700 And so when you get born again, the kingdom of God is right at hand. 07:44.340 --> 07:44.960 We just repent. 07:45.120 --> 07:45.980 It's like right there. 07:46.640 --> 07:47.920 We grab ahold of it, right? 07:47.920 --> 07:51.120 And so the kingdom sets up inside of us and rules, 07:51.300 --> 07:54.180 and he rules with fire, with wind. 07:55.200 --> 07:59.000 He rules by the washing of the water of his word. 07:59.540 --> 08:01.720 He cleanses us all kinds of different ways, 08:01.820 --> 08:03.300 but the fire is a pure fire. 08:03.880 --> 08:06.240 That's the thing that draws out, the draws. 08:06.760 --> 08:09.720 So people go, I don't want to get real, 08:09.920 --> 08:12.100 because if I get real and I see myself, 08:12.720 --> 08:15.320 then if I talk about it, it's just like, 08:15.320 --> 08:18.100 then where's the positivity in church? 08:19.340 --> 08:22.800 Where's, why do we always have to be so dark, one lady said? 08:23.780 --> 08:24.440 We're not being dark. 08:24.500 --> 08:26.640 We're actually talking about what's real. 08:27.640 --> 08:28.360 That's not dark. 08:28.600 --> 08:31.560 And if it was dark when it happened, yeah. 08:31.920 --> 08:34.080 But we're talking about, here's what happened. 08:34.220 --> 08:35.300 How do I get free of that? 08:35.660 --> 08:38.580 And we're getting permission to just be real. 08:39.160 --> 08:43.260 Now what we're finding as I travel and as I talk to other ministers 08:43.780 --> 08:47.160 is when they go to try to minister in a church that doesn't know how to be real, 08:50.230 --> 08:51.230 you can't get anywhere. 08:52.230 --> 08:54.910 The word just goes and they're like, yes, we all know that. 08:55.090 --> 08:57.470 Yes. Yes, amen. Praise God. 08:59.370 --> 09:02.130 And everyone does their little plastic thing that they do. 09:03.210 --> 09:06.070 But there's some churches, like Bruce Fanata was sharing about 09:06.070 --> 09:10.090 one of the churches he had gone to where somebody just started confessing stuff. 09:10.370 --> 09:12.410 I'm not talking about you have to hang all your sin out there, 09:12.430 --> 09:14.350 but they were like, I need deliverance from this. 09:14.350 --> 09:15.650 And this is what's real, right? 09:16.270 --> 09:19.130 This is, you know, it's almost like saying the dross is coming out. 09:19.450 --> 09:22.070 I don't know what to do. You know, they've been under fire. 09:22.230 --> 09:24.510 There's something pulling there to get that out. 09:24.810 --> 09:28.310 And the whole church comfortable enough to gather around go, OK, 09:28.490 --> 09:29.810 yeah, that just happened to me last week. 09:29.930 --> 09:33.250 So let's, you know, there's a comfortability. 09:33.710 --> 09:35.490 We're going to have to have that for revival. 09:37.250 --> 09:41.930 This house is not going to see a pretty revival because a pretty revival is not a real revival. 09:43.230 --> 09:44.570 Because dead stuff stinks. 09:46.830 --> 09:50.230 And the resurrection power comes on it and makes it all things new. 09:50.850 --> 09:52.430 You got to start out with some smell first. 09:52.890 --> 09:55.430 You got to start out with Lazarus and the tomb first. 09:55.610 --> 09:57.270 You got, there's going to be some stinky stuff. 09:58.790 --> 10:03.690 And then what happens also I want to kind of warn you about is that 10:04.710 --> 10:10.710 when you're helping another person and the fire of God is on them 10:10.710 --> 10:14.450 and you're helping them through the draw time, you're coming alongside of them. 10:15.170 --> 10:18.850 The fire that's on you keeps burning and the fire that's on them 10:18.850 --> 10:21.850 can add to the fire that's on you and vice versa. 10:23.050 --> 10:23.890 It gets really hot. 10:24.470 --> 10:27.650 Suddenly you're like, I was fine until I started helping this person. 10:28.210 --> 10:31.710 Yeah, well, apparently the fire that it's going to take for them to be purified 10:31.710 --> 10:36.870 is also you ministering and it's also God increasing that fire in your life. 10:36.990 --> 10:38.530 It's going to purify you all over again. 10:39.510 --> 10:43.570 And this is why people back out of ministry because it gets hot up in here. 10:45.930 --> 10:51.230 You know, we have a sauna. It's a infrared sauna and I put it on 140. 10:52.270 --> 10:54.230 You couldn't do this in the past. 10:54.850 --> 10:57.890 It's probably nothing like Pastor Igor does with the saunas. 10:58.010 --> 11:00.450 That's probably even higher, 200 or something crazy. 11:01.030 --> 11:06.930 But this is infrared and so I started out like 100. 11:06.930 --> 11:10.850 It was just like, oh, I got a sin. It's already been 10 minutes. 11:11.890 --> 11:15.870 You know, I know it's like the fiery furnace is a whole lot hotter than that. 11:15.990 --> 11:19.450 But I just, I had to build into the heat. 11:20.090 --> 11:22.590 He is building our body into the heat. 11:22.930 --> 11:24.690 So we run hot all the time. 11:27.030 --> 11:28.730 We run hot all the time. 11:29.490 --> 11:32.890 Now there is a place for the water and the word, right? 11:32.890 --> 11:37.710 And they'll take a piece of silver and it's gone through stuff 11:37.710 --> 11:41.730 and now it's starting to harden and then they'll, shh, as it's... 11:41.730 --> 11:43.550 and they'll put it in the water of the word. 11:43.870 --> 11:45.810 Let me help you out. We're going to reform this. 11:46.270 --> 11:48.270 And then many times you go back into the fire. 11:51.130 --> 11:55.210 All through the 90s, this has been forgotten for most places. 11:56.110 --> 11:58.690 And now it's like, God's doing something new. 11:59.070 --> 12:01.210 The fire has been here since Pentecost. 12:03.370 --> 12:06.030 But it's new. There's a whole new move of the spirit. 12:06.310 --> 12:09.630 No, repentance has been here from the beginning of salvation. 12:11.410 --> 12:13.390 They tried to repent in the Old Testament. 12:13.610 --> 12:16.230 They just had to do it a different way and they were building fires. 12:17.390 --> 12:20.470 And then it became very spiritual when the Holy Spirit showed up. 12:21.310 --> 12:26.250 And he shall baptize us with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12:27.330 --> 12:30.230 And our flesh right away goes, that's right, I got the fire. 12:30.230 --> 12:32.950 God, when I come into a house, I just wave my hand. 12:33.150 --> 12:36.070 People are falling down. I need that fire, you know. 12:36.190 --> 12:38.970 It's like, no, the fire is a purifier first. 12:39.350 --> 12:42.470 It's not going to do anything outward until it's done something inward. 12:44.890 --> 12:48.670 And I think it's wild how they saw it on their heads. 12:49.930 --> 12:53.710 Right over our little thinker here, our little gray mass. 12:54.330 --> 12:55.710 They saw the flames. 12:58.150 --> 13:00.170 He purifies us in our thoughts. 13:01.290 --> 13:03.750 And it's a wrestling match in our thoughts. 13:05.810 --> 13:09.810 And sometimes it's actually easier to go through, 13:10.570 --> 13:16.450 I don't know, take a class on deliverance and be feeling like you're just casting this and casting that. 13:16.530 --> 13:18.370 Because it can be an easier in the mind. 13:18.910 --> 13:23.730 It can be an easier thing where we think we're having a big effect. 13:23.730 --> 13:26.990 We're just going around speaking to demons and things like that. 13:27.810 --> 13:31.810 But God's like, stop. This is where the fire belongs first. 13:32.690 --> 13:35.970 Right? You can't even minister that out truly. 13:36.330 --> 13:38.250 Because that's the working of miracles, by the way. 13:38.410 --> 13:40.930 Deliverance is the working of miracles. 13:43.150 --> 13:45.410 So yes, we should stand for what's right. 13:45.570 --> 13:48.230 Yes, we should confess things. Yes, we should do that. 13:48.450 --> 13:51.050 But the continual thing is like, light me up, God. 13:51.730 --> 13:55.610 On a burn on your altar, I just sacrificed my life for you. 13:56.230 --> 13:58.870 Burn out whatever doesn't belong. 13:59.410 --> 14:02.190 Draw out the draws. I want to shine for you. 14:02.350 --> 14:03.650 I want that to happen. 14:03.730 --> 14:08.030 By the time you've gone past the draws and you've been buffed, 14:08.590 --> 14:10.270 you forget that you're silver. 14:11.490 --> 14:14.050 Because all the pride and all this stuff just comes out 14:14.050 --> 14:18.330 and people will say, wow, I just felt the power of God. 14:18.330 --> 14:22.930 And you're like, huh? I'm saying, Jesus was really in the house. 14:23.070 --> 14:25.090 Yeah, he was. How'd that happen? 14:25.430 --> 14:28.690 It doesn't come to, it was me. I was there. 14:29.530 --> 14:30.690 I had the fire of God. 14:32.370 --> 14:34.850 That's a worldly kind of way of looking at the fire. 14:35.210 --> 14:37.950 The fire is a refining agent first. 14:39.370 --> 14:43.090 So I'm bringing this up because he's taking us through this. 14:43.090 --> 14:48.610 And it isn't God being mean, which one person had asked me, 14:49.110 --> 14:51.370 well, why does God do this? I'm just like, he enjoys this. 14:51.790 --> 14:53.010 He enjoys when we suffer. 14:53.690 --> 14:57.250 We will suffer more staying impure 14:58.810 --> 15:01.890 and having the demonic realm come against us 15:01.890 --> 15:05.750 than if we suffer some and purify up 15:05.750 --> 15:08.770 and have some more oomph to minister out. 15:09.310 --> 15:10.910 So he's doing it out of his grace. 15:11.410 --> 15:13.110 He's like, let me grace you with some fire. 15:13.770 --> 15:15.510 Oh, like, you need to go through the fire first. 15:15.690 --> 15:17.030 Come on, let's do this. 15:18.310 --> 15:20.410 He's doing that out of love. 15:21.690 --> 15:24.950 And when I figured that out, that's when I accepted it. 15:25.650 --> 15:28.970 Otherwise, we end up spending more time fighting the fire. 15:31.550 --> 15:32.910 We're fighting the fire. 15:33.430 --> 15:35.230 We're like, God's trying to draw us into something. 15:35.370 --> 15:37.490 We have a big argument in our head, our flesh, 15:37.830 --> 15:39.430 and I'm still out of pressure, 15:39.430 --> 15:40.750 and I got to take care of this, 15:40.830 --> 15:42.550 and a lot of distractions start coming in. 15:42.870 --> 15:45.250 Rather than just lay down on the altar. 15:45.930 --> 15:46.530 Just lay down. 15:48.050 --> 15:49.330 What are you going to do there? 15:49.590 --> 15:51.710 You know, just lay down and let it happen. 15:52.790 --> 15:53.250 Amen? 15:54.230 --> 15:56.750 And he'll show you things as you go through that. 15:57.390 --> 15:59.150 Now Psalm 6610 says, 15:59.350 --> 16:01.250 For you, O God, have tested us. 16:02.170 --> 16:05.230 You have tried us as silver is tried. 16:07.950 --> 16:11.110 Remember when I shared about going across the lake? 16:11.370 --> 16:12.710 I have a series on that. 16:13.170 --> 16:16.250 It was after I came out having cancer. 16:17.130 --> 16:18.950 And we're going across the lake 16:18.950 --> 16:21.570 and all the preparation it takes to get across the lake. 16:21.670 --> 16:24.110 The story, you know, where the winds picked up 16:24.110 --> 16:25.650 and Jesus had to calm the storm 16:25.650 --> 16:27.270 and he turns to the disciples. 16:27.410 --> 16:29.510 Instead of babysitting them, he said, 16:29.550 --> 16:30.470 Why are you so afraid? 16:31.150 --> 16:32.990 He dealt with their fear and everything. 16:32.990 --> 16:34.790 They had all this happen. 16:34.930 --> 16:38.330 Why? Because he knew they were headed toward the legions of demons. 16:39.970 --> 16:41.210 He knew where they were going. 16:41.590 --> 16:43.450 He knew what was on the other side of that lake. 16:43.730 --> 16:45.990 There was a higher power that was needed. 16:46.250 --> 16:48.770 There was a higher demonstration that was needed. 16:49.030 --> 16:51.010 The purifying thing was going through the storm. 16:52.150 --> 16:53.510 Let's get the fear out of you. 16:53.690 --> 16:54.610 Why are you so afraid? 16:54.990 --> 16:56.830 You don't need to be up doing this, you know? 16:57.110 --> 16:58.070 That kind of thing. 16:58.670 --> 17:00.910 It didn't say he hugged them and rocked them. 17:00.910 --> 17:02.790 I'm so sorry, you're scared right now. 17:03.130 --> 17:04.470 I'm here for you. 17:04.890 --> 17:06.710 He's like, why are you so afraid? 17:07.650 --> 17:10.950 Because that's something that is dross within us. 17:11.310 --> 17:12.830 That's something that's unbelieved. 17:12.950 --> 17:14.130 That's something of the world. 17:14.630 --> 17:17.230 And so as we're crossing over that many times, 17:17.350 --> 17:19.990 this stuff, you're going through something 17:19.990 --> 17:21.990 to get rid of something at the same time 17:21.990 --> 17:22.910 you're going through something. 17:24.490 --> 17:27.930 So use those opportunities of the thing that stinks. 17:27.930 --> 17:29.930 I'm not saying God caused sickness 17:30.530 --> 17:32.590 or your dishwasher to break down 17:32.590 --> 17:33.770 or any of that kind of stuff. 17:33.990 --> 17:36.730 The stuff that happens, yeah, take authority over it, whatever. 17:37.110 --> 17:39.050 But constantly when you're doing that, 17:39.470 --> 17:42.010 being like, I need the fire to burn out of me. 17:42.130 --> 17:44.990 Any attitudes I have because I am going through this 17:44.990 --> 17:46.590 and my attitude stinks. 17:48.590 --> 17:50.790 How can I go through this and still be full of joy? 17:51.370 --> 17:54.030 How can I go through this and still quote the word? 17:54.190 --> 17:54.870 How can I go through? 17:54.870 --> 17:58.130 Everything seems to shut down when it starts to get hard. 17:58.690 --> 18:01.210 Good warfare is when it ramps up. 18:02.810 --> 18:05.130 That's how you know there's no dross blocking. 18:05.290 --> 18:08.750 Suddenly, instead of you going down and being less joyful 18:08.750 --> 18:12.350 or in unbelief and all that, your faith comes up. 18:13.350 --> 18:16.330 Your faith comes up when you go through this world. 18:16.690 --> 18:18.230 We're just pilgrims walking through here. 18:18.770 --> 18:20.390 So we're going to see stuff. 18:21.490 --> 18:22.290 That ain't pretty. 18:22.950 --> 18:24.110 We're going to see some stuff. 18:24.790 --> 18:27.630 But if we let that hit us with fear 18:27.630 --> 18:29.430 or let that do those different things, 18:29.550 --> 18:31.930 then we know there's something in us that needs to come out. 18:32.990 --> 18:36.990 So a lot of times I'll say, Lord, forgive me for having that 18:36.990 --> 18:38.590 or whatever it is, wash that out of me. 18:38.990 --> 18:40.130 Well, wash it out of me. 18:40.190 --> 18:42.330 He does that by his blood and by the word. 18:43.270 --> 18:46.670 So I have to apply the word and the blood. 18:46.910 --> 18:48.090 The blood is his grace. 18:48.270 --> 18:49.170 I mean, that just happens. 18:49.610 --> 18:52.350 The word now I have to get into his word 18:52.350 --> 18:55.990 and be washed by it, which means wherever I am an unbelief 18:55.990 --> 18:59.550 regarding that thing, I have to come over into belief, 18:59.810 --> 19:03.090 which means I have to have a word that I'm trying to believe. 19:04.830 --> 19:05.070 Amen?

24:51.650 --> 24:52.750 Because I've had so many people, 24:52.770 --> 24:53.750 I've had people come up, 24:53.830 --> 24:55.130 I just have a word for you 24:55.130 --> 24:56.270 and it's so off the wall, 24:56.330 --> 24:57.150 it's not even funny. 24:58.930 --> 25:00.050 They're not tithers, 25:00.270 --> 25:01.530 they're not this, they're not that. 25:01.530 --> 25:02.950 I can name all kinds of other things. 25:03.250 --> 25:05.430 So the obedience level is really low 25:05.430 --> 25:07.710 but they're being used in the gifts so high. 25:08.350 --> 25:09.750 There's a problem with that 25:09.750 --> 25:13.050 because he puts a high priority on obedience 25:14.290 --> 25:16.870 and obedience comes through the fire. 25:18.590 --> 25:19.590 The gifts of the Spirit 25:19.590 --> 25:21.150 are the frosting on the cake. 25:22.390 --> 25:23.630 You got to have a cake first. 25:24.830 --> 25:26.230 No cake and then you got this, 25:26.330 --> 25:27.070 this just gets weird. 25:27.770 --> 25:28.830 It's weird frosting, 25:28.930 --> 25:30.270 like you're going to get high off of that 25:31.110 --> 25:32.530 because you're just eating sugar. 25:32.690 --> 25:33.510 That's what you're doing. 25:34.150 --> 25:35.090 I'm telling you, 25:35.230 --> 25:37.270 you have to have some umph underneath it 25:37.270 --> 25:38.690 and that is just the glaze, 25:38.990 --> 25:39.890 that's just the woo, 25:40.090 --> 25:41.630 that just topped it off. 25:42.150 --> 25:43.010 That brought it home. 25:43.210 --> 25:44.990 But if there was no gifts of the Spirit, 25:45.350 --> 25:47.770 we would have to live an obedient Christian life. 25:49.190 --> 25:50.270 Everything of it that way? 25:52.870 --> 25:54.310 The obedient are blessed. 25:55.750 --> 25:57.510 Blessed means to be empowered to prosper, 25:57.650 --> 25:58.930 to have success down the road. 25:58.930 --> 26:01.070 The obedient are blessed. 26:02.350 --> 26:02.650 Amen?
