WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.580 We're talking about the dross, and next week we'll pick up, if the Lord allows us to, we'll 00:05.580 --> 00:11.240 pick up where we left off with that. But the Lord told me to deal with something this morning. 00:11.560 --> 00:16.240 That has to do with that. But it's kind of a side-tagent. And we're going to call this 00:17.220 --> 00:23.300 the principle of the thing versus the reima of a thing. And you know we've taught here 00:23.300 --> 00:26.860 on reima quite a bit. You get a reima word on something. 00:27.520 --> 00:34.560 But there's, the principle word is living in, we've been talking about climbing the watchtower, 00:34.880 --> 00:41.040 right? And in the watchtower, you get revelation. That's where reima comes. That's when 00:41.040 --> 00:47.080 the word comes alive. But that means on the mainland where you live, the word has to be in you, 00:47.220 --> 00:52.420 and it has to come alive as you're climbing up the tower. It's revelation will come. 00:52.980 --> 00:59.280 And so the principle of the thing is knowing the principle of the thing, right? It's knowing 01:00.520 --> 01:06.240 what is the main root here? What is the meat that I'm holding onto? What do I need to eat 01:06.240 --> 01:11.940 of daily? What is the main truth? So principle means most important aspect 01:12.820 --> 01:19.560 or foundational truth. Most important aspect or foundational truth. So if you're going 01:19.560 --> 01:25.640 after your finances and you want revival on your finances, something so dead, but you want it to 01:25.640 --> 01:31.240 come alive, you can't just like they used to call it blab it and grab it. You can't just be like, 01:31.280 --> 01:37.080 ah, here's a good one and pick a scripture. And then just start blabbing it, especially if 01:37.080 --> 01:42.880 you don't really know the principle of it, right? You're building a foundation in your 01:42.880 --> 01:46.840 knowledge area and your understanding. And when you build that foundation, that means 01:46.840 --> 01:52.860 you're rehearsing it, you're digging into it. It's the main thing that you're putting attention on 01:52.860 --> 01:59.420 at the moment. Sometimes a moment can be a whole week. Sometimes a moment can be God trying to 01:59.420 --> 02:04.800 teach you a principle over years, period of time. Sometimes when he deals with me, he's like, 02:04.840 --> 02:10.360 how long do I have to tarry with you? Because I'm trying to get a principle, right? You know, 02:10.380 --> 02:13.620 some of you have the same thing where you're like, I've been working on this project 02:13.620 --> 02:21.040 for a bit here. And I'm trying to see the truth of something. So generational curses like people 02:21.040 --> 02:25.700 bring up are very much just lies that have been passed down, because that's what gives 02:25.700 --> 02:32.200 the demonic any right. Take away the lie with truth. Well, can't stay there. And so 02:33.040 --> 02:38.260 the principle of the thing is so foundational. It's a foundational truth. And it's the most 02:38.260 --> 02:43.400 important aspect of something. You know, that's why when we say, I have principles. 02:44.220 --> 02:49.900 Well, what are they? Well, that's the very thing that you believe as truth. And some, 02:50.160 --> 02:53.400 you know, sometimes we believe as truth something that's a lie from the pit of hell. 02:54.900 --> 02:58.640 I got a lady tell me, I don't believe in prosperity. I'm like, hmm, 02:59.940 --> 03:05.900 that stinks for you, you know, because that's your truth, which really is a lie. That is 03:05.900 --> 03:11.820 not what, you know, God died on the cross for. He brought us the blessing to be blessed in all 03:11.820 --> 03:16.340 things and all ways at all times that we might give that we might participate in the kingdom. 03:16.500 --> 03:21.920 And the kingdom is always prospering. And it's always moving and advancing. And those who lay 03:21.920 --> 03:27.720 hold of it, right? Move with it. And when you move with the kingdom, it's full of blessing. 03:27.840 --> 03:31.620 And it just gets on you. You know, I always like to say you got run over by the blessing 03:31.620 --> 03:36.880 truck. You hang out out in the, in the highway where God is, you'll get run over by the blessing 03:36.880 --> 03:44.420 truck. But there needs to be a foundational truth for that to happen. It isn't like you're walking along 03:44.420 --> 03:48.300 and all of a sudden just got all of a sudden hit you with something. You're like, oh, I don't 03:48.300 --> 03:51.520 know where that came from. I don't even know if I believe that or whatever, but it's happening 03:51.520 --> 03:56.280 in my life. You know, there's some things that, that he'll reveal to you through what 03:56.280 --> 04:01.520 happening, but you're sort of moving into truth in that area to begin with looking. And he'll 04:01.520 --> 04:06.400 give you a little bit of revelation. But that doesn't mean you have the foundational truth enough 04:06.400 --> 04:13.980 to stand there for. When you have a principle, you stand there for. When you've identified 04:13.980 --> 04:21.540 something as truth, you stand there for. See, the church has gone, this is the truth. Now, 04:21.560 --> 04:25.880 it's not kind of the truth, but it sort of has some truth. Now we're like, that's not truth at 04:25.880 --> 04:31.200 all. I mean, it's so mixed. All you have to do is turn on services online and be like, 04:31.200 --> 04:35.320 well, they don't believe that this one does, you know, they're making excuses for this, 04:35.320 --> 04:43.280 because the principles of truth have been messed with. So the only way you can fix that is not 04:43.280 --> 04:48.980 to get a stronger opinion, because opinions are what's coming out of your heart in the 04:48.980 --> 04:54.620 moment or out of your head based on your information. How many of you know we've 04:54.620 --> 04:59.880 all been touched by sin? So our information has been messed with. And so the principle is 04:59.880 --> 05:04.920 that most important aspect, that foundational truth. So you go to the word, which is absolute 05:04.920 --> 05:12.140 truth. Remember, I said, you have to have absolute truth to dispel a lie. You can't just tell 05:12.140 --> 05:17.780 a lie, go away in the name of Jesus. Stop talking to me in the name of Jesus. You 05:17.780 --> 05:23.920 have to have a truth to bring to that lie. And so it's very, very important that we be a 05:23.920 --> 05:29.280 word church. So the other reasons it's important, if we just try to climb the 05:29.280 --> 05:33.640 wall to be the watchman, we want to see deep spiritual things, but we have no 05:33.640 --> 05:40.100 principle. The devil kind of likes that. He's like, go for it. Climb on up there. 05:40.540 --> 05:45.620 I want you to see into things you have no, no foundational proof or truth for, 05:45.920 --> 05:51.400 and I will take you out. I'll use the very revelation of God to take you out. 05:52.040 --> 05:56.380 So it's dangerous if we don't make the principle thing the principle thing. 05:57.080 --> 06:02.040 And so we're going off to the most important aspect of foundational truth. Now, 06:02.040 --> 06:06.880 Reema is revelatory truth. That means you have a foundational truth. Now we're going to 06:06.880 --> 06:11.300 take it to a higher level like the watchman should. You have a main truth you're 06:11.300 --> 06:15.680 living by and you want more revelation on that. So you start climbing the tower 06:15.680 --> 06:21.640 and he begins to reveal even more truth about the truth. Then you're seeing yourself, 06:21.960 --> 06:26.180 you're seeing, you know, the valley below, you're seeing the enemy, you're seeing, 06:26.320 --> 06:31.260 you get to see all kinds of stuff. But if we don't have the foundational truth 06:31.780 --> 06:35.960 on the mainland where we live, then we're operating in religion. 06:37.420 --> 06:41.760 It's religion many times. I mean, I used to bring my very pretty 06:42.300 --> 06:46.140 Bible that had the gold edges that you never took out of the box or you didn't 06:46.740 --> 06:50.260 to church. I used to bring that there and set it because that's what you're supposed to do. 06:50.420 --> 06:53.860 We didn't actually read it though, because that was the pastor's shop. 06:55.220 --> 07:02.360 So talk about be limited to whatever truth he had was the truth I got when I was listening. 07:03.680 --> 07:09.740 And a lot of it wasn't truth. You know, when I came into the church, I got born again. 07:09.740 --> 07:16.440 I got saved at a church. My Bible was happening. Over 100 people were saved in a small town just 07:16.440 --> 07:21.860 in a short period of time. It was like, woo, praise and worship was like the piano, the guitar, 07:22.120 --> 07:29.480 all kinds of stuff was happening. And for that area, it would be equal to the music we have here 07:30.100 --> 07:33.800 for that area, because they still wear a lot of churches were just the organ. 07:34.280 --> 07:37.080 And there was no wild willy on the organ. It was just... 07:39.280 --> 07:44.380 And they always started that way. It doesn't matter which song, you know, you played a few chords 07:44.380 --> 07:50.180 and then everyone go. And then they tell you sing the first or the third verse. You know, 07:50.180 --> 07:53.780 you don't sing the whole hymn, you don't sing, they just pick a couple of verses and 07:53.780 --> 08:02.560 then we'll crank that off, right? And so you're getting very little truth about who God is 08:02.560 --> 08:10.860 and it's a format of behavioral modification, right? Let's tell your kids, I need you to stop 08:10.860 --> 08:16.700 doing this. Okay. You know, or I need you to start doing this. All right. There's no role 08:16.700 --> 08:21.940 modeling. There's no revelation. There's no truth about it. Just dad said or mom said. 08:23.440 --> 08:28.020 You know, so they'll be doing something until they get old enough to go, I ain't doing that 08:28.660 --> 08:33.460 because they have no truth or principle thing built inside of them. So it's very important 08:33.460 --> 08:39.020 that there's a lot of discussion with them about the principle of why we do things or don't do 08:39.020 --> 08:44.860 things. And so it's the same thing with Christianity and growing, right? So Ezekiel 33, 08:45.100 --> 08:49.720 we've talked about verse six where it says, but if the watchman sees the sword coming and does 08:49.720 --> 08:54.560 not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned and the sword comes and takes any one of them, 08:54.560 --> 08:59.640 he is taken away because of his corruption and sin, but I would require his blood from the 08:59.640 --> 09:06.160 watchman's hand. Well, it makes you wonder, why was that guy up there if he's going to 09:06.160 --> 09:11.460 mishandle this like this? Why is he in that spot of authority? 09:13.420 --> 09:19.180 Right? Sometimes we've sat in places, whether it be at our job or, you know, 09:19.200 --> 09:22.320 at a church or whatever you're thinking, how did that guy get behind the pulpit? 09:23.500 --> 09:29.940 Because the job isn't bringing truth, it isn't fulfilling something. And it very much, 09:30.220 --> 09:35.480 there's a lot of people who do this as a job. So, you know, I had one guy tell me, my pastor, 09:35.480 --> 09:39.220 he said, my pastor told me, I like being in the ministry because you can golf on Fridays, 09:39.640 --> 09:43.900 and then I'm part of the bowling team and everything. I'm like, he's telling me that, 09:43.980 --> 09:52.300 I'm like, since when would we have time to do that? You know, because when you're doing what 09:52.300 --> 09:57.300 a job, so the truth coming across the pulpit, a lot of times will come down from headquarters. 09:57.640 --> 10:03.320 They don't even do the sermons. Like in the Synod that we were in, I'll just say it that way. 10:03.960 --> 10:10.860 I found out that, you know, the big dog sends all the churches, this is a sermon for the week. 10:11.100 --> 10:14.660 So you just read it beforehand and look a few things up and get in the pulpit. 10:16.920 --> 10:20.020 That you're not going to get the foundational truth out of that. 10:20.020 --> 10:24.900 So revelation that comes across, one person can say the truth about something, 10:25.040 --> 10:31.700 and one person can be spirit lit about the truth about something. And when the spirit comes over 10:31.700 --> 10:38.180 you off of them through influence, or, you know, the spirits of truth would be like ethereal 10:38.180 --> 10:43.220 fluid, you know, it's like rivers of living water are coming out of them. Suddenly, 10:43.520 --> 10:48.360 you're going to connect into and it's like, I hear the truth. If we just leave it there, 10:48.360 --> 10:52.240 the congregation that leaves it there, the person coming to a church and hears something 10:52.240 --> 10:57.700 and just leaves it there, they have enough, they know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know. 10:58.960 --> 11:03.660 It's not a good spot to be in. Because the devil will challenge whatever truth comes on you. 11:03.960 --> 11:08.940 And if it's this, it's just hung there, that's really wonderful. But if you don't grow that 11:08.940 --> 11:15.080 truth, he's challenging all the time. He'll get at that truth. And, you know, the word 11:15.080 --> 11:20.180 talks about that, like the seed falling on the ground where it was rocky and all these different 11:20.180 --> 11:24.180 things. You can't play around with the seed. You got to watch over the seed. You got to pay 11:24.180 --> 11:28.640 attention to the seed. And it's not how many different seeds. It's pick the thing 11:29.120 --> 11:33.520 that he's trying to reveal to you and stay on it like white on rice. 11:34.580 --> 11:41.120 You'll get the principle thing. And so the principle thing is the principle thing, 11:41.120 --> 11:47.420 most important aspect, or it's the foundational truth, then revelation does come, right? 11:48.000 --> 11:53.480 So we don't want to be on the wall and have people looking at us and saying, 11:54.440 --> 12:00.880 how'd you get up here? You're not even watching. You're not even paying attention. You're not 12:00.880 --> 12:06.580 even in the truth of what a watchman is. You don't even recognize the responsibility. 12:06.580 --> 12:12.820 So it's the job of the fivefold ministry and the pastors especially to grow the church. 12:13.080 --> 12:17.780 That means we better be grown out ahead of you a bit because I can't take you somewhere 12:17.780 --> 12:24.520 where I haven't gone and I can't give you what I don't have. So I got to understand these 12:24.520 --> 12:31.300 things. And this is just principle of learning how to move in the spirit. 12:31.880 --> 12:37.340 We have to have the principle thing first. So what is the truth you are standing on? 12:37.980 --> 12:44.440 Just the foundational principle, you know, for your life right now, whatever's trying to come 12:44.440 --> 12:49.000 against you, whatever's the weak area, whatever's your achilles heel, you have to 12:50.040 --> 12:55.540 have the anchor of his truth. And the anchor is built in hope. Hope was a joyful, confident 12:55.540 --> 12:59.560 expectation. Something good's going to happen because it's built in truth. You see the 12:59.560 --> 13:06.100 truth and you're like, I have something here. Now I need revelation on it. I need revelation 13:06.100 --> 13:16.620 on it. So let's just take the scripture that God is not a man, this is Numbers 2319. He is not 13:16.620 --> 13:21.680 a man that he can lie. And the rest of the scripture goes on to talk about and he doesn't 13:21.680 --> 13:28.580 need to repent because he's not a man that will live in a lie. So there's no need for God to 13:28.580 --> 13:34.600 repent. Us on the other hand, we have lies all around us, lies that were built into us, 13:35.000 --> 13:40.480 lies, lies, lies. They're trying to get it in every... which way? From 5G to whatever. I mean, 13:40.480 --> 13:45.840 you think about how we record everything through our five senses. They ain't missing a beat on all 13:45.840 --> 13:50.800 five senses. It's like at you, at you, at you, the lies. And so we need the spirit of God 13:50.800 --> 13:57.920 more now than ever. As lawlessness increases, we have to increase in our knowledge of the 13:57.920 --> 14:04.080 truth. So it's not how many, you know, I spoke this somewhere else and a lady said, 14:04.780 --> 14:10.040 well, I don't understand because I know the story of Moses. I know no one, you know, 14:10.160 --> 14:13.980 they'll give me the thing. I mean, a lot of people can crank that off and I'm like, 14:14.060 --> 14:17.820 I have to look that up to even know what you're talking about. You know, I haven't 14:17.820 --> 14:23.520 read that for a bit or whatever. And but they're not getting any results. It's better to 14:23.520 --> 14:29.060 not know the stories in such a detail, just so you can say, I know the whole thing of Moses. 14:30.100 --> 14:37.200 But to know how does Moses actually apply to me? I need to know how Noah's ark even counts. 14:38.200 --> 14:42.200 Well, you know, the rainbow, we give such like little kid answers a lot of times are like, 14:42.480 --> 14:48.380 God's love and he made promises. And it's like, oh no, we have a really shallow revelation 14:49.280 --> 14:55.480 of Noah and that whole, I'm just using that one situation. So if we look at, let's just take a 14:55.480 --> 15:00.240 scripture like this, a lot of times we'll pull truth like healing is the children's bread, 15:00.460 --> 15:06.460 for instance, when we go after healing. And, and how do you eat of that bread? Where do I get 15:06.460 --> 15:10.540 the bread? I mean, those are all questions that come up. But if you, you look at something 15:10.540 --> 15:14.980 that's a principle statement, like this is how God rolls is more of how I would, 15:14.980 --> 15:21.100 would say it. He's not a man that he can lie. And you take that scripture. That's a principle thing 15:21.100 --> 15:27.260 that you have to have believed and you're working on believe and you're establishing that 15:27.860 --> 15:34.340 belief. It's foundational for you. This is now my truth. He is never, ever going to lie to me. 15:34.380 --> 15:39.580 He never has, he never will. He's the same yesterday, today and forever lies not possible 15:39.580 --> 15:44.820 from him. So you take your situation, you measure yourself against that and you're like, 15:44.940 --> 15:48.720 so I never can point my finger at him because it ain't a God thing. 15:49.840 --> 15:55.000 So that means it's a me thing or the enemy's coming against me. But here's the thing, even 15:55.000 --> 15:59.860 when the enemy's coming against me, he's coming against the weak thing that I believe. 16:01.660 --> 16:04.840 I mean, his enemy's always been here. It's not like a new thing. 16:05.400 --> 16:12.180 But if I am in belief and I have a foundational truth, I'm aware that there's these attacks 16:12.180 --> 16:16.960 coming against us and, you know, whatever. We have to just navigate our way through. But here's 16:16.960 --> 16:22.700 the principle thing I'm standing on. And here's the revelation about that principle thing. So just 16:22.700 --> 16:27.780 take that. He's not a man that he can lie. And let's put that on like healing. You're laying 16:27.780 --> 16:33.540 in bed, you had a diagnosis. Well, is the doctor lying? No, they saw the cancer or whatever 16:33.540 --> 16:39.600 on the x-ray. There it is. So you came, I refuse that. That's what a lot of people do in doctors. 16:39.860 --> 16:45.360 I like denial. Because you're seeing into something, you're trying to pretend is not there. 16:46.280 --> 16:52.720 So it might be a fact, but what is the truth about the fact? We have to have a principle 16:52.720 --> 16:57.440 thing that comes up inside of us and says, oh, I see that too. But here's the truth. 16:58.860 --> 17:03.320 I see how it's trying to take my life. I see how it's trying to suck our finances. 17:03.320 --> 17:09.260 I see how it's trying to stop me from parenting or grandparenting. I see how I see this bigger 17:09.260 --> 17:16.600 picture, but God is not a man that he can lie. And he said, see, watchmen are really good at, he said. 17:17.800 --> 17:23.760 Right? And you can blab it. God, you said trying to manipulate him. But when it's 17:23.760 --> 17:29.340 foundational truth in you and you say, God, you said, and you're not a man that you can 17:29.340 --> 17:34.300 lie. So if anything is wrong here, it's not on your end. It's not on your side. I'm not even 17:34.300 --> 17:39.800 going to look to that. I'm going to be searching my own heart. I want you to reveal to me if I'm 17:39.800 --> 17:44.320 doing anything that's blocking something or whatever and you go through it. But his word is true. 17:45.300 --> 17:52.780 He's the same yesterday, today and forever. So doubt and unbelief, it questions the principle 17:52.780 --> 17:57.500 thing. While we're looking for revelation, we're questioning the principle thing. 17:58.280 --> 18:03.100 Well, I don't know, did it really mean that? That we're by his stripes were already healed? 18:03.740 --> 18:07.460 That could just be like a metaphor or he's trying to just draw a picture. 18:08.160 --> 18:15.200 And I heard, and one time someone said, and we'll go down that while we're contemplating this, 18:15.420 --> 18:21.540 when one principle truth can be like, he said it and it's true. He's not a man that he can 18:21.540 --> 18:28.020 lie. And then to pray that you incorporate that into your prayer. It's not manipulative. 18:28.240 --> 18:33.680 It's reminding yourself and the atmosphere and the demonic realm and the thing that's coming 18:33.680 --> 18:42.390 against you. I don't serve a God that lies. So when he said healings for me, it's for me. 18:42.970 --> 18:49.690 It's mine. And the foundational truth will give you the right to stand on something 18:49.690 --> 18:54.750 while revelation is coming even deeper. I'm standing on the foundational truth. 18:55.050 --> 19:01.410 I'm not standing on the revelation. You'll get revelation about the foundational truth, 19:01.490 --> 19:05.890 but let's say you found out something and you chose to believe it and now the war is on. 19:06.310 --> 19:09.190 I don't know where the very thing you found out now you're being challenged. 19:09.610 --> 19:13.590 Well, what he's doing, God's not causing it, but he's going to use the situation 19:13.590 --> 19:20.070 for you to stand so firm on that foundational truth that as you're standing there for having 19:20.070 --> 19:26.330 done all, this is still true. I believe this. This is still true. As this is going, all of a sudden 19:26.330 --> 19:32.610 revelations will come and you're like, I see it now. You're not a man that you can lie. 19:33.190 --> 19:37.430 And I have to have truth to come against this thing. Well, what is this thing? 19:37.770 --> 19:43.470 How is cancer? How is kidney disease? How is financial problems? How is that lying to me? 19:43.590 --> 19:48.470 And you keep peeling the onion, you'll get to the core. Many times the core is right in you, right? 19:48.890 --> 19:54.250 And the core might look like I've never felt like I deserve anything. I know that, you know, 19:54.510 --> 19:59.790 sometimes, you know, I haven't been the best of person, so I'm probably being punished now. 20:01.510 --> 20:06.050 It's a lie from the pit of hell. You can open yourself up to demonic stuff, 20:06.910 --> 20:11.150 but forgiveness is forgiveness. There is a great sending away. 20:12.670 --> 20:16.390 See, but if you don't have that core foundational truth that he doesn't lie, 20:17.250 --> 20:23.750 you're going to spend so much time, what we call, in warfare. And where's the warfare between our 20:23.750 --> 20:29.090 ears? And between our ears, we're having the argument of whether or not we should believe 20:31.770 --> 20:38.670 foundational truth. Foundational truth. So we have to come back to that, 20:38.670 --> 20:46.790 and then Reima begins to be the revelation. It comes across as revelatory, where you have those 20:46.790 --> 20:53.870 aha moments, you're like, I see it now. I see that, that truth is so true that I'd die for it. 20:55.650 --> 21:01.650 I'd die for it. It's the truth, no matter what, it's the truth. So there's that. First Corinthians 21:02.190 --> 21:07.990 15, or I want to read something when it comes to prosperity. I've read a couple weeks ago, 21:07.990 --> 21:14.770 but I want to show you how to pray this, and then we're going to pray. Proverbs 11, 25, 21:15.150 --> 21:21.970 the generous man is a source of blessing. This is in the amplified, and shall be prosperous 21:21.970 --> 21:28.750 and enriched. He who waters will himself be watered, reaping the generosity he has sown. 21:29.570 --> 21:33.690 Sometimes we'll read a scripture like that and we'll be in like, that's a good truth. 21:34.270 --> 21:38.830 Okay, well, you, you just are picking at the frosting at the top. You haven't even gotten 21:39.670 --> 21:46.390 to the all of the ingredients, right? And so when we look at this, we look at the fact that 21:46.390 --> 21:52.370 you can take this apart is a source of blessing. What does it mean to be a source? What is the 21:52.370 --> 21:58.570 blessing shall be prosperous and rich? How does, what does enrichment look like? 21:59.350 --> 22:06.670 You can sit on this word for months, till it's so a part of you, you know the ins and the outs of it. 22:06.810 --> 22:12.010 And even years later, the Lord will bring the scripture back to you and you remember the revelation 22:12.010 --> 22:19.970 of it and he'll take even deeper. Just one scripture. That's what happens when we go after 22:21.430 --> 22:28.690 revelation by going after our foundational truth. So the situation that you are in 22:29.570 --> 22:35.830 is going to be the thing that you have to conquer, but you have to conquer 22:36.250 --> 22:42.350 it through the principle thing first. Living on the mainland, we conquer the area, 22:42.530 --> 22:48.690 we rule and reign by foundational truths. What is our principle? If you've ever 22:48.690 --> 22:53.130 been blindsided, you've ever had your feet kicked out from underneath you and I have, 22:54.510 --> 22:59.090 you know, I can be talking about this. It's not like all of a sudden it's like, 22:59.250 --> 23:04.070 and there's a perfection. No, this is a work that we'll be doing, learning how to rule and reign 23:04.670 --> 23:10.450 through how the word comes alive for the rest of our life. You've ever had it where, 23:10.750 --> 23:16.130 you know, he got one in on you or something like that. The only way you can restore 23:17.270 --> 23:22.790 to a level of peace is go back to the foundational truths. 23:24.790 --> 23:28.470 A lot of times what we look for is like, I'll just climb the wall 23:28.470 --> 23:31.230 and I'm going to get up there and God's going to give me some big revelation 23:31.230 --> 23:34.190 and I'll go to this conference and I'll do whatever, and I'm waiting for the 23:34.190 --> 23:38.250 prophet to say, you already have the foundational truth. If you have the 23:38.250 --> 23:42.470 foundational truth, whatever truths you have, go back and visit them 23:43.610 --> 23:50.430 and reestablish what was already established or the foundation of who you are could get 23:50.430 --> 23:55.230 kicked out from underneath you. And you'll go into absolute doubt and unbelief. 23:55.850 --> 24:01.430 And it always takes the word of the, and the spirit. It always takes the word and 24:01.430 --> 24:06.110 the spirit. The word is the principal thing and the spirit brings it to life. 24:07.970 --> 24:11.390 It brings it to life. Hallelujah. Let's stand. 24:16.040 --> 24:21.400 I'll make this even simpler. To parent, you have a child 24:22.720 --> 24:27.960 and you know, however you didn't like your parents parenting you, remember that? 24:28.340 --> 24:31.520 And know what they're doing and when you get older, you're going to do it different 24:31.520 --> 24:34.820 because somehow you have all this wisdom, but you've never been there. 24:36.000 --> 24:38.140 And remember, they never had a practice family. 24:39.420 --> 24:44.300 Right? So they're practicing on you and then they might have all kinds of 24:44.300 --> 24:47.160 truths, ones that are 50 years old that they didn't have when you were little. 24:48.580 --> 24:54.440 So we have to grace some of that, right? But they come into your life and it puts a pressure 24:54.440 --> 24:58.260 on something. You know what it puts a pressure on? What is it that I believe? 24:59.980 --> 25:04.560 In everything. How you're going to correct them? What foods you're going to feed them? 25:04.640 --> 25:09.500 All of a sudden it's like, I have to think about somebody else. What do I believe about that? 25:10.480 --> 25:16.820 That's like finding the foundational truth. When we go to serve, it'll put a pressure on you that 25:16.820 --> 25:21.700 will grow you. We've read that scripture where in the Amplified it says put on the apron, 25:21.900 --> 25:28.120 there'll be this growth that'll take place through servanthood. Because it puts a demand 25:28.120 --> 25:33.980 on us to go, now what was my truth again? Is that really the truth or was that a lie? 25:34.860 --> 25:37.720 So we grow like crazy when we serve especially. 25:40.320 --> 25:44.700 Let's begin to just begin to thank him for the foundational truths we already have. 25:45.360 --> 25:49.760 Thank you Lord God for salvation power. For what little knowledge we have, 25:50.300 --> 25:54.180 for what little understanding we think we got Lord God. There's so much to you, 25:54.200 --> 26:00.580 you're so vast. But we're so thankful for what we do have. I know when we get home 26:00.580 --> 26:06.960 to be with you, I'm telling you we're going to see things. Those aha moments are going to be 26:06.960 --> 26:14.300 through the roof. We'll get things that we're not seeing right now. But Lord you promised by your 26:14.300 --> 26:20.120 spirit that you would bring Ramas, that you would bring revelation power, that you would bring 26:20.120 --> 26:27.520 comfort, that you would bring that counselor part of who you are, Holy Spirit. We're open to that. 26:29.000 --> 26:35.220 We need your counseling right now and I'll tell you on the side of the prayer, he only counsels with the 26:35.220 --> 26:38.840 truth. Right? 26:39.980 --> 26:41.540 He said he brought the most secret. 26:45.580 --> 26:51.800 So when you pray in unknown tongues it edifies your spirit and the spirit of God lights up 26:51.800 --> 26:57.500 the truth you're already living in. And then whatever comes in, you know, we're going to 26:57.500 --> 27:02.900 when you do devotions is good to pray in the spirit and let him edify. Let him build that. 27:03.080 --> 27:07.740 Let that be so strong that all of a sudden you see the word that you are standing on, 27:07.860 --> 27:16.560 totally different. God we're looking for Ramah words to sit right on top of foundational truths. 27:19.620 --> 27:27.220 Show us. Show us where there's lies and show us where those truths of just the basics 27:27.220 --> 27:33.920 of salvation are. Who are you to us? Who are we to you? 27:42.200 --> 27:44.060 Let's just have the band come and get ready. 27:54.260 --> 28:00.380 A lot of us are going through something right now or have, you know, went through something where 28:00.380 --> 28:05.180 you took a hit, a pretty hard hit or you're in the middle of it right in this moment. 28:05.560 --> 28:09.860 What is your truth? What is the truth? You shall know the truth and the truth 28:09.860 --> 28:16.720 will make you free. Revelation on the truth we already know. Draw us in Lord God. 28:17.980 --> 28:25.500 Draw us in to more revelation about the truths we already know. We know that we're loved. We know 28:25.500 --> 28:30.720 that you will never leave us or forsake us. We know that you are not a man that you can lie. 28:31.080 --> 28:36.540 We know that you are absolute truth. We know Lord God that you are the king of kings 28:36.540 --> 28:41.780 and the Lord of lords and you rule. We know that you're sovereign, but we know that your word gives 28:41.780 --> 28:50.440 principles that we can live by. It gives us the structure that brings us back to what's real. 28:51.320 --> 28:57.780 What is real is your absolute truth. Truth through our pain. Truth through the things 28:57.780 --> 29:06.160 that have tried to come against us. Your truth. Your truth. We submit our lives 29:06.160 --> 29:13.200 to the truth of who you are this morning. Now think about this in a revelation way. 29:15.160 --> 29:18.460 Jesus says the word, he was the word, right? First John. 29:21.160 --> 29:27.860 So if he just stood here before you right now, the all of the word, the power of the word, 29:27.980 --> 29:35.100 would be present. That means no matter what lies, no matter whatever, absolute truth 29:35.100 --> 29:42.580 would be standing here. Well, absolute truth is standing here right here. It's right here. 29:43.840 --> 29:52.740 So, you know, so valuable. So, we had a kid one time in Colorado. He was very angry child, 29:53.320 --> 29:58.780 but he was in our children's church and all of a sudden he took the Bible that was given 29:58.780 --> 30:02.880 and he checked it against the wall. And I remember my heart just going like, 30:03.060 --> 30:07.100 now this is a physical book. You can get another one or whatever, 30:07.800 --> 30:11.660 but it was an act of saying, I don't want the truth. 30:13.800 --> 30:22.640 You see that? So the truth is foundational. And when we grab onto that, we can pull that in 30:22.640 --> 30:28.440 and ask God then to reveal even more about that truth, but it is your anger. 30:30.440 --> 30:35.620 If you're floating, if you're ramping up, if your emotions are through the charts or whatever, 30:35.760 --> 30:41.000 you have to go back to the anchor and put the anchor down.
