0:1319 we'll be reading the first to the
0:16seventh
0:22verse says is
0:25end it
0:26happened that while Apollos was in
0:29Corinth
0:31Paul passed through the Inland country
0:34and came to
0:36Ephesus there he
0:38found some
0:41disciples and he said to
0:43them did you
0:47receive the Holy
0:50Spirit when you
0:54believed and they said no
1:00we have not even
1:02heard that there be a Holy
1:06Spirit and he
1:08said and to then what were you
1:13baptized they said into John's
1:18baptism and Paul said John
1:22baptized with the baptism of
1:26repentance telling the people to believe
1:28in the one who was the to come after him
1:32that is
1:35Jesus on hearing this they were baptized
1:39in the name of the Lord
1:41Jesus and when Paul had laid his hands
1:44on
1:48them the Holy Spirit came on
1:53them and they began to speak in
1:57tongues and prophesy
2:00there were about 12
2:02men and all I want to take my topic from
2:05verse two it says and he said to them
2:09did you receive the Holy
2:12Spirit when you believed and they said
2:16no we have not even
2:19heard that there
2:21is a holy
2:25spirit I'll take from my
2:28topic something
2:34missing God we thank you for this

3:11ourselves for your
3:15will give me the
3:19words to speak to your
3:22people I remove myself out of the
3:25way and allow you to do your work in
3:29this
3:30place in Jesus name we pray
3:34amen look to your neighbor and say
3:36something
3:38things
3:41missing
3:44something's missing something is missing
3:50something
3:52is missing
3:55family might I pose this thought
4:00that often times we live in a state of
4:06bondage not because we lack
4:10resources but because we lack
4:16Revelation often times we we
4:20live stuck in a state of
4:23bondage not because we lack
4:28resources but because we lack
4:31Revelation bondage bondage bondage
4:34bondage bondage is the state of being
4:38bound to Seasons situations and
4:41circumstances that you are not capable
4:44of getting yourself out of within your
4:47own
4:48strength bondage bondage and might I
4:51suggest to some and introduce to others
4:55that if if if in fact that you're going
4:57to see freedom in the area you are
5:00searching for and freedom in the areas
5:03you've been seeking for what we do not
5:06have you need to understand that what
5:08you do not have do not
5:10compensate it's not enough to compensate
5:13of what you do
5:14have let me say that again what it is
5:17that you have is not enough to
5:19compensate of what you don't
5:23have if in fact you're going to
5:25experience God like God intended it you
5:29must have it
5:34all you must have it all and one of the
5:38worst things and one of the worst
5:39colloquial statements one of the things
5:41the most common is said in our
5:43communities often times is is the
5:45probably the most craziest thing that I
5:47ever heard but people actually believe
5:48it they they they believe that what you
5:51don't
5:52know won't kill
5:55you it it is a statement that implies
5:59that that that ignorance is a good
6:02thing it is a statement that that
6:04implies that ignorance is blessed and if
6:08you stay unaware of something some type
6:11of way it won't harm you you've heard
6:14the story you heard the saying uhuh no I
6:16don't want to I don't want to hear
6:18nothing I don't want and and and I
6:20understand because some people may have
6:22lived in situations uh uh um some of
6:25your parents may have fa that they
6:27didn't have to expose you to certain
6:30things just to keep your mind pure just
6:32to just to not to move you in maturity
6:35faster than you what what you needed to
6:37be I understand the reason behind the
6:40message I do understand that some of us
6:42grew up in communities where it was good
6:44not to know everything why because why
6:47why why because snitches get stitches
6:50and and it's better it's better off you
6:52don't know the
6:57information so that nobody won't ask you
7:00who did
7:01what so I understand in some situations
7:06maybe it was good for you not to
7:10know yeah yeah but though though
7:12ignorance may have watch this but though
7:14ignorance may have kept from kept you
7:17from one thing it robbed you
7:20of another
7:22thing have you ever been in a place in
7:25your life in your adult life and you're
7:27kind of upset with your parents that
7:30they didn't expose you to certain things
7:32were trying to protect you have you ever
7:34been in a place that if they would have
7:36told me I would have been better
7:38prepared for what it is that I'm facing
7:41right now if they would have told me how
7:43much things were and and how much we was
7:46broke and their their struggle and how
7:48they barely paid the rent and they
7:51barely had food in in in the refer if
7:54they would have told me I would have
7:56been better prepared at least I would
7:57have know how to balance a checkbook at
7:59least I would have had some financial
8:01literacy if they wouldn't have tried to
8:03protect me and gave me the whole
8:06story yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe
8:10some of us that like me that grew up in
8:11church that that that that that kind of
8:13look back and wish they would have
8:15taught things a little different that
8:17that that maybe if they would have
8:18taught a little Grace H HH and maybe
8:20they would have taught a little more
8:21love and not so much a hell and I
8:24shouldn't be and it was going to consume
8:26me maybe I would have had a better ident
8:29of my father that he was trying to love
8:32me and not trying to punish me so when I
8:34got in my sin and when I got in my back
8:36sing State I would have ran to him
8:38instead of running away from him if they
8:40would have told me the whole
8:43story if they would have told me the
8:45whole story what what what if if they
8:48would have told me the whole story about
8:50the bird and the bees see they told me
8:53about the bird and the bees but they
8:55didn't tell me that that sometimes the
8:57bird will like the birds and the bees
8:59will like the bees or sometimes
9:01everybody will like everybody they
9:03didn't tell me that there was certain
9:05nuances to our nature that there was
9:08certain Shades to her Sheen and a little
9:10H to his
9:14henness and if they would have told me I

12:12identified you must know how to break
12:16them Hosea 4:6 says my
12:20people
12:22perish for the lack of knowledge so in
12:26actuality it is the things that we don't
12:28know
12:30that impacts Our Lives the
12:34most and because I'm about to graduate
12:36at the end of the
12:40semester I took the liberty to walk in
12:43my prebudding
12:45Theologian
12:47era okay and yeah yeah yeah so so I'm
12:50almost a theologian and I will be a
12:52scarl Le Source after this okay you can
12:55quote me at
12:57Y at tag
13:01me but here it is when I was looking at
13:04the scripture what I mean what I'm
13:05looking at the text and looking at the
13:06story what stood out to me was something
13:08that God brought he said this is
13:10invisible
13:12impact yeah yeah yeah what they don't
13:14know is having an invisible impact and
13:18what an invisible impact is it occurs
13:20when the lack or absence of something
13:24produces negative
13:26consequences in our lives that are felt
13:30but cannot be
13:32fixed until we
13:35realize what's
13:37missing yeah yeah yeah I I yeah yeah I
13:40know there are problems um but how do I
13:44fix them yeah yeah I I I I know that I
13:47have a
13:49tendency a proclivity towards certain
13:52things but how do I fix it yes I know
13:56sometimes I can be crazy
14:03put in the right situation yes I can be
14:06really
14:10Petty oh yeah say the right thing and I
14:13can be real
14:17subliminal yeah there are certain things
14:19that run in my family that that
14:21everybody
14:23got and I can't seem to shake
14:27it why why why but I came to encourage
14:31you that if any of these things are
14:33similar things that is going through
14:36your life com through your mind that
14:38that that that things haven't been
14:40really set up the way you wanted them to
14:41be set up um through your family or or
14:44or your neighborhood or or or your
14:46opportunities or even your ethnicity uh
14:49but some type of way you understand that
14:52God hand is still on you in spite of I
14:56came to prophesy to you today that
14:58something is about to break in your life
15:02uh I don't know what it is maybe it's
15:04your finances or your faith maybe it's
15:07in your mind or in the life of your
15:09momentum I came to tell you that
15:12something is about to break you're about
15:15to move from potential to production
15:18you're about to move from lack to Lavish
15:22you are about to move out of pain into
15:25purpose you're about to move from
15:27settling to being actually satisfied now
15:31if you believe that I need you to jump
15:32to your feet and open up your mouth and
15:35say something is about to
15:37break in my life clap your hands and
15:40give God glory that you won't be the
15:42same
15:442025 will not be the same look to your
15:47neighbor and say something
15:49is about to
15:51break something is about to break
15:55something is about to break cuz God
15:58watch this God is Not only interested in
16:02forgiving you he is committed to freeing
16:07you yeah yeah yeah he is not just want
16:10he don't want to just forgive you of
16:12sins he wants to free you of
16:14circumstances he don't want you to live
16:17blessed and bound he wants you to be
16:21free from what is bounding you and God
16:24sent this message for you today not
16:26because he wanted to just tell you
16:28something he wanted to equip you with
16:31the adequate information about what he
16:34wants to do in your life darus Daniel
16:37said it like this you can't take
16:39advantage of what you're not aware of so
16:41I came to make you aware of what God has
16:45for
16:47you but write this down say your release
16:50will require
16:53Revelation your
16:55release requires
16:58Revelation in the text Paul the
17:02traveling evangelist has been sent on
17:04assignment by God to Ephesus and when he
17:08got there he found some disciples now it
17:13is important that you understand that
17:14these disciples were not Jesus disciples
17:17these disciples was John's disciples and
17:20Paul's find these particular disciples
17:23and asked them a question h h h uh not
17:26to be interrogative but to be
17:28investigative ative he asked him the
17:32question have you received since you
17:36believe now this question may sound like
17:38a question but this question just a
17:39regular question this question was a
17:41question of identity who it is you
17:45walking with I know you look like me I
17:47know you talk like me but I need to ask
17:50you a question who are you walking with
17:53now some of y'all need to get the
17:54boldness of Paul and ask some people in
17:57your life I know you trying to look like
17:59me and I know you smell like me and I
18:01know we go to the same places and I know
18:04we like the same things but who you
18:06walking with I need to know who you
18:08walking with in order if I'm going to
18:11allow you close proximity to
18:16me Paul was being investigative he
18:21discerned that
18:23something was
18:27different he saw
18:29that even though they talking the same
18:33talk something was missing verse two it
18:39says have you received since you believe
18:43they responded no we have not even heard
18:46that there be a holy spirit now how in
18:50the world did they did not even have the
18:53Holy Spirit or did not even
18:55know that there was a Holy Spirit
18:59as watch this
19:03Believers how how did this happen and
19:07might I suggest that that Paul's
19:09question suggests to us that you can
19:12believe in Christ but lack the benefits
19:15of what it brings to your
19:18life have you received since you believe
19:20CU believing and receiving are not
19:24synonymous one doesn't automatically
19:27come packaged with with the other it is
19:31possible to accept Christ but your life
19:35don't look like
19:44it I pause because it got a little
19:47tight and I'mma cause you to expand your
19:50heart to hear what God is trying to say
19:51to
19:53you it is
19:56possible to take it
19:59advantage of God's resources and still
20:03not receive God
20:07results I go to church what's the
20:09problem I I I I sing on the praise team
20:12what what what's the problem I join all
20:15the small groups what what what's the
20:17problems I'm doing my invites a Sunday
20:20uh uh what's the problem I checked off
20:22all the boxes I crossed all my eyes and
20:24dotted all my teeth but yet and still
20:27I'm not seeing the result I'm forgiven
20:29but I'm not free I'm gifted but I still
20:32live a life of guilt I'm washed but my
20:35life is
20:39weak I came to help you
20:47today
20:49disciples they was
20:51living in a life that they didn't have
20:54to live because they didn't know what
20:57they needed to know
20:59however watch this because we listen and
21:03we don't judge at least they was on the
21:07right
21:08path sometimes you got to celebrate that
21:11even though you don't have it all
21:13together at least you're on the right
21:16path I wish I had some people to know
21:19that listen I'm still in process and God
21:22is still working on me about some stuff
21:25but I can praise God where I am because
21:28I'm not where I used to be I used to be
21:32a wretch undone and now I'm just a
21:35little
21:41wretched just a little
21:44bit sometimes we have to encourage
21:46ourselves watch this that at least we're
21:49on the right path at least I haven't
21:52substituted Sage for being my savior at
21:56least I still believe that weeping may
21:59endure for a night but joy comes in the
22:03morning at least I still believe that he
22:07is the head and he made me the head and
22:09not the tail above and not believe at
22:12least I still believe what it is that he
22:15said about me things are not perfect but
22:18at least I still believe what AM say I
22:21still believe I still believe I'm on the
22:25right path I'm on the right path I'm on
22:28the right path
22:29path you're on the right path the text
22:33says upon hearing
22:36this they were
22:39baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus
22:42the text says and upon hearing this he
22:46was baptized they were baptized all 12
22:49was baptized in the name of the of the
22:51Lord Jesus now watch this Paul rolled up
22:55in their
22:57City Paul came in their
23:00space Paul came on their
23:04territory asking
23:06questions that probably wasn't the
23:09easiest thing to
23:11answer yeah yeah yeah it wasn't really
23:14what they were expecting from another
23:17believer I thought you supposed to be on
23:19my side I thought we supposed to been
23:20doing this again who do you think you
23:22are you don't even know
23:25me like that but interesting enough
23:30interesting enough their response even
23:33though they were lacking something they
23:36had enough of what they had to hear that
23:40what it is that Paul had for them they
23:43had enough to
23:45hearh that what Paul had that they
23:48needed and they was a they was mature
23:51enough to listen to know that what he
23:53had for them was going to take them to
23:55the next level
23:59they was mature enough they they they
24:00they they they they they they they they
24:03understood that even though I don't have
24:05it all together at least I know
24:07that at least I can identify whose God
24:09is calling to my in my life and watch
24:12this God will send people in your life
24:15who are filled in areas you are not to
24:19help you get to the place you need to
24:23be God will
24:25send people
24:32people that scared all the introverts
24:38people God will send people in your
24:43life
24:45people
24:47people people at this point the
24:49disciples watch this was was was
24:52following a person that had been dead
24:54for 25 years
24:59John was dead already for 25
25:04years and they were living underneath
25:08the umbrella of incomplete
25:11information and it took God sending Paul
25:14to Ephesus to free
25:17them 25 years later they could not get
25:21unstuck by
25:25themselves God is sending
25:29people I know you like to be by yourself
25:31oh I'm just in my uh um me

25:43God and we just doing our thing and and
25:46and and and no you're doing your thing

25:54he sends people to put you there
26:00you can't get there by
26:04yourself I know we live in a generation

26:12ourselves all the
26:14time but God is going to get you you're
26:16waiting on God to send power and he sent
26:19power through a
26:22person with the what Revelation to equi
26:26you with power
26:30and this is where we miss what God is
26:32trying to do in our lives this is where
26:34we miss it this is where we miss it and
26:36we miss it because we don't want to be
26:38held accountable we want to grow alone
26:41we don't want nobody to call us out we
26:43don't want nobody to say no no no no you
26:46said you wasn't doing that no more you
26:48don't want nobody to hold you
26:49accountable so you don't tell nobody
26:51what you're trying to do just in case
26:52you decide to bik Sid next week uh uh I
26:55don't want you in my business I don't
26:57want you doing all I ain't going to post
26:58on Facebook cuz I don't want them to be
27:00all in my business what I'm trying to
27:05do yeah yeah that that that that is what
27:08we do that and and and that is where we
27:10miss God that is where we miss God and
27:12when people do send people in your lives
27:14we end up being jealous or we end up
27:15being comparing or we end up being in
27:17competition with them because we're not
27:19used to people being in proximity that's
27:20doing better than we
27:25are so we scroll down Instagram and we
27:27scroll down on Tik Tok and we get upset
27:29instead of be happy for people we don't
27:31we don't we we don't Rejoice with those
27:33that
27:35Rejoice now we good at mourning with
27:37those who mourn because that make us
27:38feel
27:41good but can we Rejoice with those who
27:45that that's
27:46rejoicing can we Rejoice with people
27:49that got stuff that you're praying
27:55for can we can we are we spiritually
27:59mature
28:00enough to send people that for God to
28:02send people in our lives and that are
28:05successful in the areas that we want to
28:06be successful
28:08in and we leave inspired instead of
28:11leave
28:16insecure spiritual
28:19maturity spiritual maturity heals
28:21instructions and say this is trying to
28:23build me up not trying to beat me up
28:29because watch this all of the
28:33loners God is not talking much audibly
28:38in this
28:40season he's not doing it he's not he
28:43he's not talking straight to people and
28:46saying
28:49[Music]
28:51yes he's not doing that no
28:54more very rarely watch this we are in a
28:58place that we are capable to hear his
29:01voice that
29:03clearly because our world is so
29:05saturated and perverted with the things
29:08of the world that we can't hear what
29:11he's trying to say so he don't even
29:13bother to speak because your ears are
29:15too clouded so he sends a person that
29:17you can
29:19see and that can see
29:24you he sends a person that go and you
29:27don't believe me because I got Bible I
29:29got Bible Romans 12:2 said do not be
29:32conformed to the things of this world
29:35but be ye transformed by the renewing of
29:38your mind I came to help somebody here
29:40so that you can discern what is the will
29:43of God what is good what is acceptable
29:46and what is perfect if you love the
29:49world you can't discern
29:53it if you love the world you can't
29:56discern what is good
30:02if you love the world what good it looks
30:05bad and what bad looks
30:07good it's in the word it say it says you
30:10got to be transformed by the renewing of
30:13your
30:15mind that's why you got to be careful of
30:17everybody that's always got a
30:20word you got to be careful oh the Lord I
30:23was praying for you and and the Lord
30:25told me this and and and you know what
30:27the Lord is to do this in your life I'm
30:29sorry if you love the world I can't
30:31trust your
30:34word because what you are hearing is
30:39distorted oh I prayed about it and God
30:43told me
30:47really wasn't you just cussing somebody
30:49out last
30:51night and God told you what how do you
30:55know it was God oh he came to me in the
30:57dream and that's how he deal with me
31:01really how do you know it was
31:04God when your hearing is perverted with
31:06the
31:07world how do you know that it was God
31:10how can you distinguish the voice of God
31:13to know the perfect will of God if
31:16you're married to the world look to your
31:18neighbor say are you too worldly Lord
31:22Jesus this a a prophit little message is
31:24not a viral message but it is a freeing
31:26message
31:29that is why as your pastors we have to
31:30live at another level because we have to
31:33let you know that it is possible to live
31:36here and live here holy that your
31:38Humanity does not exempt you from living
31:40holy that yes we are human that doesn't
31:43mean we are
31:48sinful and that's why you cannot be
31:50intimidated by people that live
31:53holy that's why you can't run from
31:55people that live holy God has placed
31:58those people in your life to expose you
32:01to a level of spirituality that you're
32:03going to need in order to get what God
32:05has for
32:07you because you can't get it in your
32:10flesh some things somebody say you got
32:12to be spiritual to get
32:14this it is the principle of
32:17exposure the principle of exposure the
32:20suggests that God will use
32:23exposure to awaken an appetite for
32:27something you didn't know you need it
32:30because you didn't know it
32:33existed the principle of
32:36exposure and you are on the cusp of
32:39something great if you utilize what God
32:43has exposed to you and when they testify
32:47you celebrate that testimony why because
32:49the testimony is not to tease you the
32:52testimony is to teach you that if he did
32:54it for them he is powerful enough and he
32:57is able abled enough to do it for you if
33:00you align yourself
33:04with his word his assignment his purpose
33:10for your life so when you hear
33:13instructions that you don't
33:17like because you got to have people in
33:19your life that is not advising you but
33:21instructing
33:26you there's a difference
33:28advice is say okay that sound good
33:30instructions like okay yes
33:33ma'am you see the difference and that's
33:36why everybody want coaches but they
33:37don't want
33:44pastors that's why everybody want
33:47mentors ment and
33:51mentees and nobody want nobody to
33:53instruct them
34:04oh that triggers me when you talk like
34:05that
34:09good it's good that it triggers you
34:11because it's letting you that you need
34:12to change not
34:16me a trigger is not for
34:19me the trigger is for you to let you
34:21know that you are you are living in the
34:23past that you need to and it's something
34:26that you need to get healed from
34:28triggers are real but triggers are
34:31traps and you can utilize traps as an
34:34excuse to stay where you
34:47are your trigger is a trap your trigger
34:49is trying to keep you in the place where
34:51you oh that triggers me that triggers me
34:53good good good pray about it give it to
34:55God and let him heal you give it to God
34:57and let him heal you give it to God and
34:59let him heal you cuz if he don't heal
35:01you you're going to be stuck where you
35:03are for the next 10 years of your
35:07life and then you're going to be mad at
35:18God I'm trying to free
35:20you trying to feel you
35:23Paul tells these
35:25disciples you are
35:28missing the most important
35:32aspect of your spiritual
35:38life the Holy
35:41Spirit you're missing it there there's
35:43something in your
35:45life and you're missing
35:48it as
35:50Paul after Paul asks the disciples and
35:54he lays hands on them and they receive
35:57the Holy Spirit and then they see
35:59receive the giftings of the Holy Spirit
36:02after this Paul goes into hostile
36:06territory he goes into hostile territory
36:09to preach the gospel and a and I'm under
36:12impression because I am a budding
36:13Theologian and and and and and and and
36:16because I am a scholarly source as I
36:18read this I am under the impression and
36:24assumption that if they did not receive
36:26the Holy Ghost
36:29maybe they wouldn't have been allowed in
36:30the
36:32room he explains this this this
36:35environment has been very
36:36hostile very
36:38aggressive uh very even uh uh persuasive
36:43to those that wasn't strong
36:46enough now the text do not say I I I
36:49utilize my scarlety skills to get to to
36:52pull that out but what I do know is bad
36:56environments can inate good
37:01people corrupt communication that's what
37:03the Bible
37:05says messes up good people and watch
37:10this God would not allow you to go into
37:13certain places in certain spaces not
37:16because you're not qualified enough it's
37:19because you're not Sanctified
37:24enough not because you're not gifted
37:29not because you don't have a you're well
37:33educated uh uh you know something that
37:36you was well overly qualified
37:39for it's not about whether or not you're
37:43qualified it's rather not you're
37:45Sanctified Sanctified is a whole old
37:47word they used to live they used to use
37:49in the old church but it's biblical and
37:51it's in the Bible being Sanctified means
37:53to be set apart to be Sanctified means
37:55that you spent some time with God and
37:57got mature you spent some time with God
38:00and became stronger you spent some time
38:02with God that you can discern what is
38:04good what is perfect and what is
38:06acceptable somebody shout
38:09Sanctified Sanctified in God watch this
38:12he would rather to hurt your ego than to
38:14hurt your
38:18eternity he's not trying to save your
38:21pride he's trying to save your purpose
38:23and if he got to keep you out of the
38:25room he'll keep you out of the room and
38:27if he have to break up some
38:29relationships he'll break up some
38:30relationships and if he have to take the
38:32job he'll take the job and if he have to
38:35take the marriage he'll take the
38:37marriage why because he is more
38:39interested in your
38:45purpose then your
38:50preferences you know I don't
38:54really he don't
38:56care you know you know why because you
38:59got a soul that the enemy is trying to
39:01steal you have a soul that the enemy is
39:03trying to destroy and he's more
39:05concerned about your
39:09soul than anything
39:13else after
39:15Paul decides to leave this hostile place
39:20he says disciples come on let's roll
39:21with me and they go on this two-year
39:24Journey they're teaching in they're
39:26teaching in the schools but not only are
39:29he's teaching in the schools he's going
39:31on this basically Miracle Marathon to
39:34where he is healing um people are are
39:36being sick and he's healing them um he
39:39had he's so he he's walking in so much
39:41Authority and so much power to where the
39:44sweat that is coming off of him is put
39:46on handkerchiefs and sent to the
39:48hospital rooms and they are being healed
39:50this is the kind of power that Paul is
39:53working in somebody say power power
39:56power he is C casting out evil spirits
39:59and and and and he's not doing this in
40:01secret everybody is seeing it so much so
40:05the Jewish Exorcist the seven songs of
40:07this high priest this Jewish priest on
40:10the sides like listen he's doing a whole
40:13bunch of stuff in jesus' name let me try
40:19it he said that's they say oh that Paul
40:24guy is pretty
40:26powerful let let me
40:28try what he's
40:31doing so Acts 19 it say 13 it says and
40:35then some of the itinerate je Jewish uh
40:37uh exorcists took it upon themselves to
40:39invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over
40:42those who had evil
40:44spirits saying I command you by the
40:49Jesus whom Paul
40:53proclaims not that Jesus they Proclaim
40:57but the Jesus Paul proclaimed but watch
41:02this the evil spirits answered
41:06them Jesus I
41:11know
41:14Paul I
41:16know
41:21but God I'm familiar with this powerful
41:25man Jesus
41:29I'm familiar with
41:31Paul
41:36but
41:39who are you so that means to tell me
41:43that calling on the name of Jesus is not
41:45just a call calling on the name of Jesus
41:47is a
41:49claim come on you don't just call the
41:52name of Jesus just to call a name when
41:55you call the name of Jesus you are
41:56claiming that I am under his submission
41:59I am claiming I am under his authority
42:01so I don't come by my own agenda I don't
42:04come by my own will I don't come by my
42:07own power in the name of
42:12Jesus in the name of Jesus that's why
42:14when we pray we pray in the name of
42:17Jesus cuz what that says it seals it and
42:19say I don't know what I just prayed I
42:21don't know whether it's in your will I
42:23don't know whether or not you want it to
42:25happen but I seal it in the name of of
42:27Jesus cuz it wipes out everything I just
42:30said because I don't want what you don't
42:32want me to
42:37have in the name of not in my name but
42:43in the name of
42:46Jesus what we do know we know that they
42:50didn't go about at the right way but two
42:51lessons we can pull out of this number
42:55one you cannot call his name and do your
42:59own
43:02thing you
43:05cannot call the name of
43:08Jesus and still do what you want to
43:12do oh I came to freeze somebody
43:16today you can't do
43:19it why why why because it is not an
43:23announcement it's an adjustment
43:30give me give me give me that
43:32uh what happens
43:35is when it is that we accept the gift of
43:42the holy
43:43spirit that God is trying to give to
43:46us everything in our lives
43:53changes if you don't have it
43:57you just doing your
44:01thing but as soon as you accept the gift
44:05everything
44:09changed I can even Shake let me try to
44:12shake your hand you see the adjustment
44:14that has made I can't do it it had to be
44:17an
44:20adjustment everything
44:22adjust why because I'm holding
44:26something that is not of my own not of
44:29of my own nature it is not of My Flesh
44:32that has to be careful my talk change my
44:34walk changed my decisions make
44:37change why because I'm not just living
44:39on my own
44:42anymore the Holy Spirit comes in and it
44:45makes an adjustment number two watch
44:50this not only you cannot call his name
44:53and do your own thing you cannot have
44:55dual devotion
45:01you cannot have dual devotion the sons
45:06the seven sons was trying to stay on one
45:09side but utilize the power on the other
45:13side and then it backfires on
45:16them it backfires on it and the demon
45:19watch this jumps on them that's why you
45:22got to be careful the environment you in
45:24because if you're not ready it's going
45:26to backfire and what you're
45:30trying am I ready for that environment
45:33watch this the demon jumps on them I got
45:35to go and left them naked and
45:39wounded you can't have dual
45:41devotion dual devotion is this it is the
45:45attempt to
45:48please your
45:49flesh and the spirit
45:54simultaneously yielding to what whatever
45:57desire is strongest in the
46:03moment Paul said there's a Waring in my
46:06members there's there there's a fight
46:08that is going on between my flesh and
46:11the
46:12spirit but watch this you can't have
46:15dual devotion why because the same
46:17spirit that you are rebuking on Sunday
46:19is the Same Spirit you sleeping with on
46:24Monday it's the same Spirit you drinking
46:26with it's the same Spirit you're
46:28stealing with it's the same Spirit you
46:30manipulating with it's the same spirit
46:32that you enjoy sinning with it's the
46:34same spirit that got you
46:40depressed it's the same spirit and and
46:43watch this you lose your Authority when
46:46you have split
46:52loyalty you lose your Authority when you
46:55have split loyalty
46:57when you he one day and over here the
47:00next day because watch this you can't
47:03cast out what you in Covenant
47:10with you can't cast out what you in
47:13Covenant with you got to choose whether
47:16you want to be in church or do you want
47:17to be in the club which one which one
47:19which one you got to choose whether or
47:21not you want to be righteous or you want
47:23to get high in righteousness or you want
47:24to get high on weed which one which one
47:26which one you got to choose at some
47:29point you got to choose which one you
47:32want to do whether you want to be drunk
47:34on the Holy Spirit or be drunk on
47:36Hennessy which one you want to do both
47:39get you
47:45drunk both get your
47:48high that's all right y'all got quiet on
47:51me but that's all
47:52right both do what it is you trying to
47:55do
47:57let's not get it twisted because
47:58everything the enemy does he does it
48:00well it is a direct replica of what God
48:03wants to do in your life so everything
48:05God wants to provide the enemy has
48:07already put it in your
48:10face as a
48:18counterfeit but you got to choose
48:20because one of them is trying to keep
48:22you and one of them is trying to kill
48:24you
48:27you got to choose
48:29which one and the Holy Spirit is not
48:32interested in being your secret lover
48:35the holy spirit is not interested in
48:37being your side piece the holy spirit is
48:40not interested in hiding with you in
48:43private and then taking off the ring in
48:46public that's not the holy spirit that
48:48is something else that is something else
48:51that is something else the Holy Spirit
48:53wants to marry you and be in public
48:56partnership with
49:04you that is what he
49:09wants and it's not for his
49:20good it's not because he just needs to
49:23be validated
49:30it's because he wants
49:33to protect
49:35you he
49:37wants to comfort you he
49:40wants to guide you he
49:45wants to correct you he
49:49want it it's not a self-serving thing
49:51for
49:53him he could be doing anything he can be
49:57still on the
50:00throne but he comes down into
50:04imperfection for
50:07us something
50:13is
50:17missing I want to ask
50:22you and you may been for one
50:25day or 10

50:42there's one feeling but there's many
50:44refilling implying that you can go
