In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of receiving revelation from the Word of God and being open to new teachings that may challenge old traditions. The speaker warns against jealousy, selfish ambition, and the lust of the flesh, which lead to disorder and evil. They highlight the wisdom from above, which is characterized by peace, gentleness, reasonableness, mercy, and good fruits. The sermon also touches on the importance of approaching God with humility and sincerity, rather than relying on external displays of emotion.

When anyone receives revelation in the Word of God, it sometimes conflicts with what he has previously been taught. This causes you to have to deal with old traditions or wrong teaching. These tapes may contain some new light from God's Word, and it may be opposed to some traditions you have previously learned. Therefore, follow through these messages in your Bible, in sequence, in order that you may be able to make a choice for the Word of God rather than the traditions of men. This is tape number seven in a series. We urge you to listen to all the tapes in the series in numerical order, so that the whole teaching can be received and understood. Listening to a part of the series or to the tapes out of sequence can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature, the intent, and the importance of this series. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Lord. Praise Jesus. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise Jesus. Praise you, Jesus. Praise you, Jesus. Praise the Lord. Well, amen. Praise the Lord. Praise Jesus. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Praise Jesus. I felt like when I got out of bed this morning, it's gonna be an unusual day. I see a few more of you found out you're free. We're so blessed by the grace of God and the presence of God. I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, blessed with all spiritual blessings, in the heavenly places, right now, in the Lord Jesus. You sound a lot different today. I'm born again, kept by the power of God. I'm redeemed by the blood. I'm born again by the Word of God. I'm complete in Jesus. My sins are nailed to the cross. I'm sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise in Jesus at the right-hand throne of God. My weapons are mighty in God to tear down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every thought up here that exalts itself against the Word of God. And I bring every thought captive to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the Word of God. I'm more than a conqueror. I take dominion. I rule and reign in the name of Jesus.

Through Christ who strengthens me, I'm strengthened in all power by the might of the Lord. We learn a lot about the Lord in His precious Word, aren't we? Don't we? It's kind of worth being talked about, isn't it? Boy, I'm telling you what. He who keeps his mind on me, I'll keep in perfect peace. I tell you, take every thought captive, isn't it? What really matters is what God's saying, what God's doing. Now, that matters. What do you think? You know what brokenness is? Brokenness is when you come to a place that you're more concerned about what God thinks and what folks think. I pray to God you'll leave here a free person. Now, you can be. We just haven't found out about it. We just learned about it. We're free. Liberty and freedom. Boy, praise Jesus. I'm seated in the heavenly places. I rule and reign in the name of Jesus. All things are on the feet of Jesus. He's been given to be the head of all things. To the church, the body, which is us. The fullness of him. That filleth all in all. All the works of darkness are under our feet in Jesus' name. He's disarmed them. He made a public display of them. And now in the name of Jesus, from the throne of grace, I receive the word in the blood. I remove all oppression from me and this building in Jesus' name. All heaviness is removed in Jesus' name. I remove all the works of tiredness and fatigue in Jesus' name right now. I'm strengthened in all power by the mouth of the Lord, from the throne of God. I now receive strength. Strength is flowing through me now. I remove all the works of unbelief, doubt, traditions, legalism, distractions, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And you'll see it just such a humble and just a gift of love and that mind just totally stays on the Lord all the time and it just it just it just frees the Lord to just do things when when he gets around these kind of people and you you've got a few hundred people around it's just you know, just just like a child they don't already know it all they hadn't got it all figured out and that's a kind of atmosphere like Brother Jess's right here and you know when in India, you know, if you're just real close friends, you know You could just walk around holding hands and I I just found myself, you know Just I'm telling you what the Lord just did something Now I want you to know he really means business now Hey, I learned the last time when I was there in 76 and I was in this room.

There wasn't no one there to accuse us and so We didn't we just really enjoy let's pray Father in the name of jesus. I thank you that you've called us into liberty and freedom Lord I thank you that i'm free that we're free from intimidation fear I thank you lord in the name of jesus That we're free from what folks think that our eyes are fixed on you lord And now in the name of jesus, we thank you for the freedom that you've given us in the spirit of god I thank you that we always triumph in your name and now lord jesus. We boast in the victory at calvary And we just know we don't know one another after the flash but we know one another just jesus crucified Because everything is you and there's nothing of us in the name of the lord. Jesus christ And now lord, we just come to receive your word. We boast in your understanding. We boast in you We boast in your word. We boast in your spirit. We boast in your grace and we just think it in christ. Jesus That we are more than conquerors that we take dominion that we always drive in your name And now in the name of jesus we receive your word And we receive and the word perform this work in him and now lord I just pray that this day in your word lord I ask you in jesus name to your glory that you would move through as you heal deliver and set free And I thank you for your holy presence and in the name of jesus I agree as we just speak blessings peace grace love healing deliverance in jesus name well, amen praise the lord Would you rest well presence and peace and grace of god Well, I want you to know something i can already tell you something he's here And that's what makes a difference That's what our focus is isn't it the lord jesus his grace and word well folks we uh got a little into the uh spirit and the flesh and how the powers of darkness operate in this and uh I hope I hope it began to give you some freedom. But today is going to be A most unusual day I don't want to say something to the shepherds right now They just so much responsibility and everything on the shepherd today and uh I think more of attack comes on the shepherd than it does anyone today the enemy And he particularly attacks with fear and intimidation And brother shepherd If when you start seeing some things in this word and you start uh Trying to figure out how to line them up In some of the traditions that we've been programmed for let me just tell you When you start letting your mind trying to fit it in the box then the enemy Intimidates you whatever Whatever teaching you're gathered around or whatever that you're going to be they're going to try to put intimidation And they put all fill your mind full of all kind of thoughts It'll just not work can't work and it's going to the enemy i've tried to put the responsibility on you to make it work And that fear and intimidation and I I see uh one shepherd after another that uh No, particularly maybe after the second day they go home. They'd be attacked in their sleep Waking up in the night And there it is try to get you to work all this out. Listen. I'm gonna tell you something The lord is the one that works all things out Why don't you just uh get out from under the law and get under grace? He's the one that has to work it out Now what we have to do Is proclaim the word we say what god says and the lord's building church. He'll do it his way And you'll always know that he's doing it right because you'll see it right there in the word the way he's going to do it and so there's been such a such a Particularly A it's been more difficult probably few shepherd over the years than uh You even probably comprehend now or I even comprehend And I want to tell you that I just want to speak peace and love to you And uh, oh I'll tell you what I love you and I'll tell you what is uh, as the lord spirit and as he Does the thing that he's doing and support Because it's traditions brother pastor To a large extent has taught you not to have to trust god. You've been taught in many ways that you don't have to trust god Because traditions get you to trust in so many other things And uh that you don't have to trust him and then when you come to a place where you're confronted with it Well, then the enemy wants to bring these things that you've been taught to trust and bring them with fear and intimidation against you Now I want to tell you it It works Well, we'll put it totally on the lord I want you to know that what's happening What we're sharing here in the word Is totally up the lord total trust in lord. That's the rest. That's the rest that he's called us in We don't know how what he's doing or how he's doing it. I just got a part. You've got a part all of us got a part or brother pastor You've got a church in a church Now, you know I mentioned this thing I'll say it again when billy graham was talking about 75 the church laws and most anyone It'll travel any of that. He'll see the laws and senate now what we're saying in our hearts before god When someone wants to come and take this bible right here and deal with this lawlessness Let's kill him Let's stone him He's going to split us off from these devils. There's 75 of these devils It sounds like to me a church is already split doesn't it our lost folks in the body of christ folks You know, only thing that does is exposes a foundation of numbers And good reports instead of righteousness I'll set you free pastor You won't be run off no more Only the sheep can hear the word On the sheep will follow you Now I want to tell you something there's nothing that man has set up and created more more important than this word of god If you can ever read and get anything out there besides one church and this church Can hear the word? This church right here at heart is turned totally to the lord jesus christ This church wants to bring all the glory of the lord. Jesus christ. There's no jealousy and ambition and there is no are you ready politics in it? Get free from folks God must doesn't have much confidence in folks Just his spirit working through them is what he has confidence in him. That's why once again, he said all mankind is stupid And devoid of knowledge All right Now let's stop and look at something Let me say it again. If you fell down get back up again That's what jeremiah said if you fell down get up Call it what god goes there Why what does the church produce? This church in his word Produces righteousness and holiness It has discernment discernment's not hid from them This church right here overcomes the world and the flesh and the devil This church right here produces in the temples Love joy peace long-suffering goodness jealous meekness tempered faith. You can't produce that in a devil sitting in a church building You can't produce that in a tire That won't repent And so what we've done Is tell the stubborn and stiff neck on sunday morning how righteous he is Because he's part of our group You know what that is That's teaching the security of the unbeliever What do we produce works? Are the fruit of the spirit? Unless he has to ask herself Where is god in all this we've been doing? Where's what is he doing? We'll see Where this numbers foundation comes from all this counting That's not to count we had to count here to have Help to know how many to set up to know how many is coming in and so forth like that But there's a different counting than letting your heart go to the thing Our heart goes to the grace of god that chose a few to bring you here Our heart goes to him that we can fellowship together My heart goes to the lord because he got about got a part. You've got a part your part's just important my part I'm telling you it's jesus and either one of us. So what we got to boast about right? Turn to romans 8, please The pharisees had some traditions set up didn't he few? When his disciples and jesus and john the baptist started put his start touching these gold caves The scribes started writing didn't they? the pharisees started Started yelling Particularly the chief priest preachers The responsibility is not on the chief preachers. The responsibility is on the lord And that is the rest oh there is a responsibility but you know what i'm saying there now in romans 8 Verse 2 I read this yesterday. I want to see it For the law of the spirit of life in christ. Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death Now the law of sin and the lust of the flesh you're set free. You're under grace I mean, you don't have to obey the lust of flesh. You're free from it. I'm telling you the lord. Jesus christ You died with him at calvary You don't have to be a slave to it unless your heart that's where your heart is And you put yourself under law when that's where you you live for the lust of flesh now verse 4 In order that the law that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us Who do not walk according to the flesh I'm If you're walking according to the flesh You've not died to the flesh. Is that correct? So the law is not fulfilled in you if you're not dying the flesh But it's being fulfilled In the ones who are walking there it is according to the spirit now you're led by the spirit of god And that frees you And you always know that the spirit of god is going to lead you right here and what this bible says right here He wrote this law on your heart how do you write this law in your home when the spirit of god Join your spirit right there. He knows the whole bible. He's got it right there for you What you need in any situation so you will always know if that's where your heart is what to do now I want you to turn back to roman 7 I don't want you to look at me here right now A person in his heart. I now let's forget about whether he's he's uh, what kind of uh, uh Denomination or what we label a church member or whatever like that He is i'm going to tell you one if his heart if his heart right here, that's this inner man lives For the see you're married to this this when if when your heart lives for the lust of the flesh That's what you're married to you are married to that old man. Do you hear me? You're married to this thing I mean you're joined together. Your heart is joined together to your flesh and I want to tell you You are under the law If that's where your heart is You're not under grace Now you might have said somewhere and gone through some form of godliness or whatever So it's a person's heart that goes to the lust of flesh is not being led by the spirit of god Now that's just plain and simple. Now. I want to show that we want to look at an adulterous right here in chapter and roman 7 verse one Or do you not know brethren for i'm speaking to those who know the law That the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives Now, let me just put as long as you live in the flesh this law you're going to answer everything in it and judgment I mean you're under it You hear me? and if you and if you're in the flesh, you're you're before god, you're uh, you're the Obligated to obey ever last word of it If you're going to do it without the lord jesus christ without grace and you can't do it Of course, you can't even pay the 10 commandments now verse two For the married woman Is bound by the law and that's when you like let's talk about when you're married to the flesh you're bound By the law to her husband. You're bound to the flesh Now the husband Right here in this situation is the old man. You're on the law. You're bound to the law You're not out from under it until you died the flesh and breathed in the lip of the spirit of god Now we're going to see this She's bound to her husband the old man while he is living now while he is living out there means he hasn't died Or dying are you hearing me? All right, let's go on But if her husband dies look at how to start we don't go too fast if the old man dies That's what he's saying She is released from the what? Because when you die to this you're under the spirit and you release my law you're not under the law. Amen you're released from a law concerning the husband Amen This old man dies you're kind of free to get you another husband, aren't you? Huh? All right, let's go on in three So then if while her husband is living that means the flesh hasn't died The flesh is not being put to death Sons of god do put the flesh to death. Is that right? That's what you're doing. So then while her husband is living She is joined to another man now. Now look at me right here Let's just let's just stop there while the husband is living That means while this old man is still alive what he's fixing to say and you're going to be joined to jesus You're going to get you another husband and you know, that's like having your two husbands They're supposed to die She is joined to another man. She is called of what? Is that playing? Try to fit that in a box. Let's go back and read that again verse three So then if while her husband is living that means this is alive right there if this is alive right there You know what that proves that's where your heart is Because the lord has put a made a provision to put it to death. Is that correct? You choose with your will that this is going to lie because that's where your heart is Of course people who have a form of godliness are not innocent dying that They don't know and they don't even resist the devil. It comes to stir it up ignoring See we did see over in first peter 5 that the faith of all is resisting the devil and suffering and dying the flesh Is that correct? So then if while her husband is living, that's the old man. She had joined to another man You're going to find out that this is jesus. She shall be called Adulteress, but if her husband dies now, this is this flesh right here. It has people of the law I mean when you understand, I mean you're free from sin And i'm telling you what as you had if you If you do have the sin and single sin i'm not talking about practicing sin I mean the lord has made a provision at calvary that where we can call dirt dirt and we can get back Under grace, we're not under law I know that's what a repentant heart is. It calls things what god calls it It's agreeing with him But if her husband dies That means a flesh She is what? You're free from law, you know under this law, you're not under works, I mean you're in liberty and freedom you're under grace You know why you have to tell the devil when he comes with guilt and condemnation Devil Why he comes to attack your body? I'll not receive it. I'm under grace And you're attacked in a dead body That's where you walk and that's where you say and you it's no works is I mean You don't have to get a running start or anything disagree with god and get in on it Folks, we've just fixed it intermittent things We're on the threshold right now of grace God's moving us into a place where we get our eyes off of folks Start giving him all the glory all the praise That tears up systems It's been getting glory folks, it's been getting glory don't like this I'll tell you I'll tell you what stopping it's like you ever get in front of a freight train and tell it to stop But if her husband dies she is free from the law so that she is not a what Now I don't want to go too fast. I want you to just meditate on this look here what it's saying If her husband dies, you know, this is why it's called the old man. That's your old man Where your heart lives the old man no lust there this garden So if her husband dies That means there's only way that I can die That's in christ jesus. You know that don't you? Now a lot of people want to do this without the grace and it just don't work It won't work But if you die if if this old man dies, then you're free from the law. That means you're not on the law So that you're not an adulteress Now, is that pretty plain? That's not double-minded. Exactly. Is it? Oh, that's sinking a little bit. It's right there in your bible Though she is joined to another man. And who do you think that man is? This other man is jesus, you're not an adulteress because you've died to this I think i'm hearing a little harlot ring seeing what a harlot is You know what a harlot is that's a pretender one who pretends obedience to the lord A form of godliness. That's a harlot Don't try to fit this in the boxes. It won't work You won't see what the bible's saying if something up here is trying to probe it trying to fit it in a box It won't go Now Therefore verse 4 my brethren You also were made to die to the law die to the flesh Through the body of christ And on beyond the law because you're going to die of the flesh that you might be Joined to another now you're going to die to the flesh You're going to get out among the law that you'll be joined to the lord. Jesus christ Who was raised from the dead and then what happens look at me Look at me here Three more need to look Now look at me i'm going along and what is my fruit In my life before I come to the lord. Jesus christ. My fruit is a covenant with satan, right? Here's my walk. That's my deeds back here. It's walking the fruit. It comes all with me. It's satan I come to the lord I see the light I'm in agreement with him in my heart. So I repent Lord I change directions in my heart. I break covenant with you satan the lust of flesh and now Instead of being led by the lust of flesh Which I was a puppet of the powers of darkness when i'm led there a puppet a slave a captive a prisoner I now Receive the lord. Jesus christ is lord. He and I are joined together and the two become one. I have a new identity And I have a new one Putting this to death I've got a hedge around me I walk in peace And if you notice That what I want to the lord wants me to die to this now Let me ask you something. Why do I have to die to this? Look at me I die to this so I can bear fruit for god instead of satan, right? Because when I walk into this i'm bearing the lust of flesh i'm bearing fruit for satan, is that right? Right Now this is brought about by the grace and the power of the cross to put this to death This has to be put to death so that I can bear fruit for god, which means That is being conformed to the image and likeness of god And that's what comes it is to bring us from the image and likeness satan Where adam where we we were cursed in place by adam to move into jesus to become in the image and likeness of god That's what the last adam come what the the first adam put us in his place Last adam come here to covenant to bring us out of back in the image and likeness of god Now form of godliness wants to do it a different way A form of godliness won't turn this loose Because in this thing the form of godliness has to be somebody that has to share the glory This wants some of the glory Okay This needs some attention to help god out. I just read that verse again. I'm not gonna run through this too fast four Therefore my brethren You also were made to die to the law through the body of christ has died the flesh so you'll not be under the law That you might be joined to another now that's being joined to jesus to him. Now you're made to die to the flesh Who was raised when dead you're dying the flesh you join to jesus. There it is right there that we buy bear fruit for who Now is that plain that's not real complicated, is it? Now let's go on For while we were circle were there about three times So when you come back and read these things again, you'll see you were in the flesh Which means you not in the flesh no more are obeying the lust of the flesh. Amen And for some reason in your learning process if you do you repent And you're not on the law in that area of your life Because when you get under the law In an area in your life, that is when the powers of darkness the hedges down for them to attack you And the war gets your spirit. I want war against your soul with your mind will and emotion. Amen So they can war in that particular area where you want to get under the law When you want to get out of the law, that means you don't want to give up that area of your life your your old Lust flesh now But you were in the flesh You were married the old man in the sinful what? I can't hear you Well, that was that mean that means fruit for the devil, right? But Sinful passions which were what we read over relations five that those who belong to christ Jesus have died to the flesh with its passions and desires. Is that what your bible said? I told you a refrigerator verse remember 24 Though you were in the flesh The simple passions which were aroused by the law were at work in the members of your body to bear fruit for what? When your heart and when you live in that the lust the flesh you're bearing fruit for death You're going to know the mother what? You're going to know the mother fruit I'll tell you what this this this fruit business is going to get a lot more interesting in it You look at the fruit and you can tell what's in the heart Young senator if you look at the fruit, you can see who they're listening to You know where they're coming from. Let me tell you something You know, there's one thing satan can't counterfeit and that's love He can't counterfeit it at all Or he can get you know, we're gonna you know in our flesh. We're gonna love somebody into something, you know instead Letting the spirit of god above the word. No god Just hold off. Holy ghost Just hold back here. We're going to do it right here. We're just gonna love somebody into something We're we're gonna do this. Listen, we're gonna put some human compassion on them right here You know Somebody's just fixing to sit and let lecture has a little human compassion don't think What's that got to do with the spirit of god? That's works now That's bearing fruit for death verse six, but now we please circle now and shout But now we have been released from the law by the law but we have what Circle say it again You have died circle died. You've died to that which you were bound and the reason you know You've died to it I don't see any of it coming out of you A form of godliness is say you died and it says and and go on doing it You've died to that which we were bound. So they now We serve in the newness, please underline that the newness of what? I mean, we've changed direction We serve in the newness of the spirit And not in order to the letter not on the law breathe liberty and freedom Liberty and freedom and you know what you know, you know, you know what uh, really the exciting thing of all that the lord And his spirit is today is doing the revelation of all of it that everything right here points to grace And it takes the responsibility off of us to be anything but in Grace and getting in on it, which is the rest which is the sabbath which we're called into in hebrews 3 and 4 We're called into rest because this grace reveals to us it never was us it's all him And that's a process that we're learning more and more it's just all him it's all him I mean it's all god And he simply said get in on it Don't start building your tower into heaven Like he did at babel, you know babel means babel babel babel babel babel words You know, they took brick and used tar tar for mortar And genesis, that's the first one and they come up and say god we're coming to heaven You're obligated to receive us the way we want to come Well, that's the interesting thing happened to them They all began speaking a different language, didn't he? You know somehow that reminds me of today a lot Little confusion a little confusion that everybody Is going to heaven they all speak in a different language I'm telling you folks you better open your spiritual ears The lord's leading you away. You've never been before if you can't hear the word you can't be led to the spirit of god You might turn into a scorn if you you know what a scoffer is A scoffer It's someone whose heart leads here. They've always come against the spirit and work of the lord Can't help it. You're driven. They're hostile Hostile to the word of god. That's a scoffer in his corner He's the one that always wants his flesh blessed That is the scoffer is going to show it to you later All right now So it's natural See when somebody say it's just my nature to do this It's my nature. It's my nature to be like satan. It's all right. Sure. That's a form of godliness That is a form of godliness. That's not godliness That is the mystery of iniquity. That is not the mystery of godliness Let's say So we just want to say god just made me that way He made you you're beautifully made in your body But you've got the nature of the devil and you're in covenant with satan in your heart because that's where your heart is married And you're a puppet When you live for the lust of lech God is not mocked. Whatever your soul you reap you reap to the replace and you reap corruption But we see in second peter one that through these precious promises to be in christ Jesus that we've died to christ that we're freed from the law that we're freed from this old man And now we've taken on a new nature, which is a divine nature and this divine nature Let me tell you this divine nature that we walk in your deeds are in the image and likeness of god All things have passed away. All things have become new That's the reason the lord said you now overcome in this new walk Let me get back over. I want to be walking the same direction And this new walk I overcome by the blood of them overcome everything the world the flesh and the devil everything the flesh I overcome because of the victory at calvary the which is the blood of the lamb The word of my testimony my faith is what god says. I don't lean to what I see smell taste your bill. He said it That's where i'm standing i'm standing on the foundation of the world the rock Overcome the blood of the lamb the word of my testimony and love not my flesh anymore. I'm to death That's the way overcome. But if I don't die to this flesh And if i'm gonna love this that means the door is still open for the powers of darkness to get to me Which means my heart Loves for the gods of this world who are the powers of darkness I love the ministry of them to come and minister to my flesh more than I do God to come to medicine that pulls a hedge down. This is what puts you on the law. Do you see that? When you get on the law and every left here they come the floodgates open and until you repent Do you turn from it? Do you cover this with the blood? They've got a Breach In your life now, let me show you one other thing. Let me just do this one What you're talking about in christ later on we'll see in first john 2 being in christ is obeying the commandments of god Obeying god it says over and over to be a doer of the word to do the will of god do the will of god do the Will of god do the will of god you're not to obey the lust but do the will of god the will of god The will of god. Amen Well, I hear it's a peace walk. Does it say it's a peace walk? All right, when you're in christ jesus, what are you in christ jesus you have repented now If you miss this you're gonna miss a butt Let me take my glasses off so i can see you When I repent the lord shows me of all the sins I repent and turn from him in my heart I'm living i've denied my flesh. I've taken up my cross. I'm falling at the lord. Jesus Christ That's what he said you have to do and you come after me. He said whoever loves this carton is gonna lose it Whoever loves this life is going to lose it But whoever loses his life carton died to it for my sake in the gospel is the ones who's going to Save it There's a little difference in a in a sermonette that tells all the things that disciples supposed to be and do And then then kind of wind it up and just just you know Just one thing now after you finish all this now god knows we can't do that But he just wants you to be willing to That has a big ring of hell in it That has a ring of hell in it. I don't hear the ring of grace in that I hear the Ring that god can't keep us And he can't empower us now I'm in christ I'm in christ I've repented see and I've repented i've turned from all these things And everything the lord shown broken, sorry, I repent I changed I cried out sorry Repentance I didn't change direction up here. I changed right here in my heart And so when I did it you ever see anybody broken crying out the lord You ever notice what peace is all over them and they just stayed down there and just cried the lord Hey They come up and jesus is all over them You know what? That is peace And there you know what to the how that peace is there Maybe one of those angels mighty and strength says demons move out and Shut up And then all of a sudden Here he is Where all these pressures of the world was coming against him the powers of darkness all of a sudden He's in jesus and all those pressures are hitting jesus They're all hitting him and he's just sitting there it's peace and just so much fun The walls are coming down The ceilings falling in table for you in the midst of the enemies. In other words sit down neat Have some bread peace And then comes uh Mr. Unforgiveness over there Bob i'm glad you're still sitting there brother And He shoots one of those flaming missiles in there. They they you know, just a missile. They just shoot it in there and he said You know bob shouldn't have done that to you, but I say shut up Shut up devil ain't coming out Ain't coming out lust ain't coming out lust ain't coming out jealousy Jealousy Here comes here comes envy ain't coming out envy Do you know when I come out? I get my and then that's where They get the ground to war against your mind will and emotions now, is that playing But just get in christ Doing the will of god If you ever wonder what his will is you can always know his word is his will and the spirit will never lead you anywhere except in his word And just don't come out, but if Someone comes with scoffer comes along Ain't coming out. Mr. Scoffer Ain't coming out scorner You remember over nehemiah and ezra when they built the wall, you know, the wall's getting being built today You know what that wall is a glory of jesus And you know how they stopped at him as he built the wall. They mocked him and scorned them Made fun of them, but you think usage folks like that That's the power of the darkness The wall is being built The wall's being built it's being built because god decided for it to be built now Let me ask you something who's going to stop it well who's going to get you if you're not Who's going to get you Hey, this liberty and freedom's good. Who's going to get you? Don't receive that's a real simple thing. If you got god god always showed you do you don't get under any fear any pressure anymore Just don't have to do nothing till you hear it from god because see the body of christ is held together by truth Not fear not guilt Not intimidation They're calling it liberty and freedom And when you're under that stuff You've moved on the law no matter where you've received if you're moving on the law in that areas of your life Which you're moving in the flesh the lust of that repent now It's a natural thing for a man to act like a devil in it Isn't that natural? Let's let's talk something about nature It's natural To take advantage of all opportunities. It's just natural. It's just natural for a man to put himself first. That's it's just nature Clayton It's natural to make a name for yourself See what was the world system teacher control Success Selfish ambition I Me my get all you can can all you can get get to the top step to the whole bunch Make a name for yourself now I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Exalts himself I'm going to humble him All the lord does is just say Sick them and then you know It's up here today But something begins working like a maul fading away Maul fading away It's kind of like rottenness. That's what the curse is. That's what a demon does just slow deterioration and all this ride Do you ever see these little glamour stars, you know their beauty and glory shining and see them later on the inquirer They have them sometimes on the front page They found that they wasn't a star after all They were But then that deterioration comes in and the next thing you know they've slowed to the flesh and they've reaped corruption and just god just uh has a lot of time seems like and uh, Well, this don't have a lot to be proud but on the other hand god says if you'll humble yourself If you'll humble yourself god resists the prowess and gives grace to who? humble yourself then uh I'm gonna make a name for you. I'll exalt you now Who do you think it is? It talks to you when you're something comes about going down the altar and kind of getting on your face And you're just all set to go and you start getting your feet and here it comes. Here they are Boy, i'm telling you what there goes your image there goes your reputation people going to see all these things are wrong with you And then finally you just might build up enough courage to just humble yourself before god almighty or to praise him Of course, that's what you kind of make for anyway supposed to And you finally come down And get an interesting thing That uh, your mind just stays full of what people thinks you don't even get to talk to him a lot of times anyway Because the demon's talking to you and you're listening. Oh, they do get through the same place As a matter of fact, there's uh Just a bunch of them in here right now They're not doing too much right now because uh, the grace of god Has them all bound And if he didn't do it I'm telling this thing would be a disaster All right, natural things are the flesh. They're promoted by demons and they go against god's word. Why don't you turn to james three, please? James three james three. All right now Have you ever wondered? Uh Let's just say that a person don't you look at me just a second. It's a little knife the lust of him flesh That's where his heart is And then he moves into a church or congregation situation And in his heart, he's somebody Yeah See because the word plains you don't even know one another ain't the flesh in the church of god. Do you? Is that what your bible says? If you died to the carton, what what makes anybody anything if you're dead to it? Why are we looking up at cartons if cartons dead? What makes a dead carton anything it's supposed to be dead isn't it and dying So what's man but let's just say if you got some cartons That don't want to die But they want to move, you know, they feel a little religious And they move it and in their heart is selfish ambition. That's you know, i'm something I can i'm a little god's blessed me a little more intellect and he has a Lots of so I can help god out. I'm just smarter and uh So that jealousy and he wants to get the top. He's the one that i'll be running things for god and so You see him right there and let's see what happened because that's what we used to a lot in james 3 verse 14 But it says if you have bitter jealousy at jealousy in your heart jealousy means I mean my and selfish ambition selfish ambition I think a word said who's going to be first going to be last Uh, whoever wished to be first should be last the sound of something like that Who's going to be the least to be the greatest? But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart if that's in your heart Do not be proud arrogant and lie against this word right here. Don't be proud and arrogant lie against this word Because uh watch very closely this wisdom this kind of wisdom Is not it's not it's not now this is a kind of wisdom as selfish ambition is wisdom But it's not that which comes down from above this kind of wisdom don't come from god But what does this wisdom come? But it's earthly natural and demonic. You know what earthly means world Natural means the natural senses which is flesh Let's just say it's what it really is but this kind of wisdom is not that which comes down from above it here it comes You're ready But it's worldly Flesh and it's all stirred up by the demonic Is that plain? I mean it's right there, isn't it? Half god really said yes, sir right there in verse 15 Now, let me ask you something Won't you look at me? When you're in a congregation and a heart goes to the lust of flesh and that not in the lust of flesh How can jesus ever penetrate that? because Hearts are there Busy making a name and seeking position and selfish ambition and all these kind of things to make a name for themselves Get glory for themselves. How can jesus get glory there? That is the ministry of satan and his demons the powers of darkness. That is the world system Which he moves into a church that is the system of the where the flesh is That is the world the wisdom of the world and the flesh and the demonic all three Do you see that shake your head? So when you get into a situation like that that we we only know too. Well, here's what you can expect verse 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition that's I mean my the lust of the flesh exists. There is disorder and every evil thing Is that plain? verse 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure. I'm just going to add this peaceable gentle reasonable full of mercy and what kind of fruits Boy when the wisdom is coming from above it's good fruits Unwavering without hypocrisy not saying one thing and walk another seed whose fruit is righteous is sown in peace by the ones who make peace now I want you to hold your place right there And I want you to turn back and look with me and John 15, please just a minute. I'll show you something John 15, please Hold your place and turn back to John 15 We know all the John 15 is talking about the branch and they can't bear fruit apart from the Lord In other words, though I mean Jesus has to be in you and he had the word has to be biting in you the word working in you But I just want to pick out One verse there Let me ask you something. I Want to ask you something? I'm going to ask you something in a minute Okay now when you're walking in Obedience to the Lord and when you're walking in Christ when you're doing the will of God a veil commandment and put in death Plus the putting death the flesh which Romans 8 clearly say your sons of God are doing. Is that correct? Is that right? You know what? That means when you have this kind of walk you're bearing fruit the Lord You know what? That means you are walking in covenant You're buying you're doing your part of covenant. Amen. Is that what it means? But the only way you can bear fruit is walking covenant. Is that correct? And when you're walking in come, that's what you take a oath to do when you come to receive Jesus Christ as Lord You take a oath a Covenant says I will if you will What do you mean Jesus Christ is Lord? Why do you call me Lord Lord and not do what I say? Why do you call me Lord Lord and do what Satan says? Now walking in covenant of being led by the Spirit of God Which is an obedience to the Word of God. You're not on the law but that is Covenant and I'm going to tell you what when you walk in obedience to the Word when you're led by the Spirit of God you are bearing fruit for God and When you ever see you're bearing fruit for God you that means you're walking in covenant Amen, I now look very closely at verse 7 16 You did not choose me, but I what I Don't I don't I don't think the Lord's gonna choose a bunch of devils. Do you? He chooses people whose hearts turn toward him, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and what? bear fruit and that's your fruit should what Remain that you continue to bear fruit and here that means you're walking in covenant. We bear fruit in that right now let me show you how you get your prayers answered the next part and Whatever you ask of the Father in my name He will give it to you Right now look at me. See if you're dying to the lust of the flesh Then the fruit of God You're bearing fruit for God And I'm telling you that you go before God and he said whatever you ask in my name You're gonna get it. You want that sick person healed? But see now let's see if our ancestors Kind of had a form of godliness and they were not bearing fruit But they's busy helping God out and then they come up and know it was someone at all and They die and they just keep dying Because the Bible this over said it would be restored It didn't say maybe or perhaps or when he got 70 degrees or anything said it and then all of a sudden a little thought comes Up here. Hey That's making you and God both look bad. All these folks die and acting normal at all You know probably what we need to do what you need to do is here they are Once you go There's one right here. What you go around a thick book That God can't do nothing then you can still look good and You won't have to repent and move over here and line up with God In other words when you over here in Egypt, you want God to come over here come over here and line up with us God you see what you see why we're trying to help you out. Come down here cooperate with us God You see why we're what we're trying to do for you And God's just funny He just stays right over there didn't he and So now what's happening? I believe the grace of God is having us just kind of crawl back over there Amen Now he said if you bearing fruit, he said you asked what do you wish to be given now? Why do you say that it's because if you're bearing fruit for God your motives are not on the lust of the flesh Your motives are not turned to the devil you're not trying to make a name for your carton You're not trying to make a name image for yourself You don't have selfish ambition. It means you and the Lord Jesus are One your motives are the same. That's what he wants the town save ask me You want your family save ask me I do anything. I run the whole bunch Get in on it my way covenant now turn back to James 4 and we'll see the opposite of that James 4 Did we see their disorder and every evil thing in this congregation because this was this this congregation was worldly flesh and Demonic Because had the jealousy and selfish ambition and we're not putting a flesh to death. Amen. Shake your head and what we saw in 3 Well, let's look there. God goes wrong. He gonna solve a problem for him verse 4 What is the source verse 1 of the quarrels and conflicts among now? Is that a good question? Hey, you have all this disorder and every evil thing in there. Y'all know what's wrong. Well, let's go ahead and say right there What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among it? Is it not the source here of what? You know what those pleasures are look at me this selfish ambitions alive Jealousy is alive. I mean my is alive. That is a source of the quarrels and conflicts among him What is they an axe that all the church there was mud man? They understood covenant That's why they took everything they owned and throwed it up at the apostles feet because they understood That dying for the lust of the world of the world the lust of flesh You said you have you come to place you found anybody you won't take everything you own and throw it at her feet Not hardly Because see we'll not be seeing the things that axes and still we start acting like them and you won't be knowing it until you're in covenant and then Thousands a day we're coming to the Lord one. That's not too bad evangelism while they cast some demons out everything it moves That's pretty good evangelism get them healed Get them set free and I'll walk with the Lord and tell you get set free All right. Here it is. What's the source of these conflicts? The the and quarrels and conflicts am I is not the source your pleasures. This is your flesh That's waging war in your what? It's a come alive selfish ambition. Here. They are come alive jealousy. Yes, sir. Mr. Devil Not the next verse to you what? There it is last time to the flesh you lust and you do not have just a kind of Put in there your way. You don't have your way Your cartons way so you what You commit murder in your heart you come against him kill him throw him off the cliff sell him to death with words Discredit him so you commit murder when you don't have your way and you are what? In this there's envy and You cannot obtain your way. So you just fight and quarrel You want things to be your end this year might be your way your cartons way. So you fight and quarrel You're not trusting the Lord. You want it your way your cartons gonna work out these things for God You're coming to God with your carton of flesh and no flesh can please God that works Is that clear? You do not have Because you do not ask where it says that's just pray This way you want it your way your cart way come in here and that's my prayer Lord We're down here trying to make a name for herself. Come on in here and cooperate with us Lord We're making a name for herself with our nickels noses and numbers Well, look at my ministry God Come down here and cooperate with me. You see what I'm trying to do for you Satan said to Jesus come over here and jump off this temple right here. You jump in that courtyard They'll all see you down there and look how you can lead them to God junk does it all it's all him I just just go ahead and decide that Jesus is Lord now Where it says right here verse 3 you ask will you put but pray right there you pray you pray Now this opposite of what we saw in some old barbarian fruit and die in the flesh Why didn't walk in and come to a man they ask whatever they wish and they received it, right? But this you don't have the wrong money. You don't walk out the flesh and get God's cooperation figure That's reading you have to take some a scripture not these books that God can't do nothing now verse 3 you pray and You do not receive because you pray with what You have a wrong motive you repent Their own motives ain't the lust of flesh Your pleasures and you have the wrong motives when you pray because you want it to spend it on your what? The pleasures that means listen to me brother and sister that means the flesh is not dead at being put to death And I want you to know it's been exalted and Satan's running the show when I mean he moves in and he becomes Control in the areas where the flesh is alive Now, you know what kind of people that is who wants to walk after the flesh and come to God ate the flesh with these things In heart here. They are right turn verse 4 you want it about that over in Romans 7 Shake your head you pretenders You pretenders You pretend to be this to God You adulterous Do you not know? That friendship with the world that was the kind of wisdom that was in there Is hostility toward God with you know, we already saw over in Romans 8 that the flesh is hostile the world is hostile Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of world walk talk and act like the world Makes himself an enemy of God. Is that plain? Do you understand that? Half God really said you just read it That's in that Bible you've got right in front of you, well, it's all I do is just keep them going on But I tell you let's just continue in that chapter I hadn't planned here we're going to we're going to change the scale Let's go on and see now these things. Hey all of these things I've been reading about There are four chapters in 13 verses before you get to to James 5 14 and 15 where you're going to be all and you'll be able to say there's a bunch of things in James before you come anointing with all And if you're not if you're not hearing and and adhering to the things and the rest of James there you might as well quit Not with all you're gonna die You can't make a name for yourself. No, I'll say I'll be born on dogs get somebody else or they make a name for theirself Huh, you ever know this brother? If you ever go and lay your hands on somebody what? Here he comes he comes talking to you right there and said, you know, they were all looking at you and you know something boy I'll tell you what and this person get healed And you say yes, that's right miss. They weren't paying the powers off. God's not gonna do nothing through you You there just start letting a demon minister you all right, then the one you're praying for right there They're praying for there and you're praying for him And I will show you another way. It's come. Yeah, he's there and Demon starts talking to him. He said, you know God do this for everybody else, but he won't do it for you. It's not gonna work. That's right. It ain't No, I'm gonna get nothing Because you're listening to the devil. You're not listening to the ministry of God. You're listening to unbelief and doubt You won't get nothing You sure want Because your hearts in agreement with the devil you don't believe God that's not what kind of shield of faith is that? Okay You know somebody's time particularly pastors. I'm gonna tell you something faster. They're going to be shepherd. They're gonna be some meetings It's gonna be coming up where you're gonna get to sit there particularly Shepherd Where you're going to get to see folks just stand in front of you and we'll just have meetings where you can just see just watch them transform there and You'll you'll be taught all these little things that we can't get into right now and in a short time We'd be learning from you So we can multiply it somewhere else That's what the body of Christ does when you find out the enemy is not folks and the boar is not after flesh Then you start learning what covenant is and being together and love one another You find out who the enemy is. We love one another God gives something to every part He's given the greatest gift the less honored member. So there'd be no division in the church. I'm telling you your zero You're nothing you understand that You understand that no one is nothing get free from that. That's a well folks are something Joe Well, it becomes that makes me pretty important. I just want to tell you I'm pretty important, but the only reason I'm important is because of Jesus And you're no different I'm no different. None of us no difference your computer here has been full with a bill with lies Now But you know what what's the worst, you know, the word does is when you know the truth the truth begins to work out the computer and The the word the worships out the lies So that's how you know the truth and true sets you free. Glory be to God forevermore now Let's go on. So this person has a problem He's trying to come to God after flesh always always said over in James 1 you double-minded you're not gonna receive anything from God But yes God, I've got another way to come I'm gonna come down there and I'm gonna crawl around and cry a lot So he comes down he has much folks and just real humble and everything and I'm going to show you that later on Hey comes down and crawls around and cries a lot of people come with him. He's knowing he still dies Just show you that's the only thing I'm going to show you on that thing up there right now look here What happens? Here's how you have good soil. Do you understand it? We're God. This is the land This is land you possess right here. So all of this comes before James 5 14 15, by the way starting in verse 6 4 6 James 4 6, but he gives a greater grace God's gives grace Therefore it says God is opposed to the proud but he gives grace to who? Now look at me folks. Do you did we just read about a congregation? It's coming to God. I have the lust of their flesh That's proud folks This concludes tape number seven, please fast-forward this tape to return it to the beginning Please proceed to tape number eight where this message continues
