HOLY SPIRIT TOUR GUIDES

John 16. and then 1 Corinthians 2

I WANT TO BEGIN A SHORT SERIES TODAY THAT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TEACH

IT’S CALLED “GETTING TO KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT”

HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT WE NEED TO KNOW WHO THE HOLY GHOST IS???

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH ON THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE...

I BELIEVE HE IS THE MOST NEGLECTED MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD

I THINK HE HAS BECOME OPTIONAL FOR MANY CHRISTIANS

I THINK TOO OFTEN WE TREAT HIM LIKE....THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT....IS GOD

HE IS NOT OPTIONAL

AND WITHOUT HIM, YOU ARE NOT EVEN ALIVE SPIRITUALLY

IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD....

YOU DON’T BELONG TO CHRIST

FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS

I WANT TO HELP YOU KNOW WHO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS

I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE KNOW ABOUT YOU

OUR CHURCH IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PENTECOSTAL ALL OF THEIR LIFE

BUT OUR CHURCH IS ALSO FULL OF PEOPLE

WHO JUST STARTED COMING TO A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH....TODAY

I THINK THAT TOO OFTEN WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT EVERYONE WHO COMES AUTOMATICALLY...

KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THE PERSON OF HOLY SPIRIT,

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

AND THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER

THE REALITY OF IT IS…

THAT THERE IS SUCH LITTLE TEACHING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

AND IF YOU DON’T HEAR THE TRUTH REGARDING THE HOLY SPIRIT

YOU WILL SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE...

LOVING GOD IN THE SHALLOW END OF THE KINGDOM

OH COME ON...

IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD...

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU AND I TO KNOW

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE FOR US TO UNDERSTAND

I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS LEADING ME TO THIS TASK TODAY

BECAUSE THERE IS A SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION THAT..

HE WANTS... TO REST UPON YOU

HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER???

I DON’T MEAN WEIRD..

I MEAN DEEPER

IT MIGHT SEEM WEIRD TO SOME PEOPLE…BUT

DEEPER IS GOOD

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT...

I JUST WANT ALL OF HIM THAT THERE IS TO HAVE

I WANT TO READ JOHN 16:12-13.

AND THEN I WANT TO GO OVER TO 1 COR. 2:9-13.

LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM.

NEIGHBOR…I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT WHAT YOUR WEARING

BUT YOU LOOK THINNER TODAY THAN YOU DID LAST SUNDAY....LOL

THESE WORDS ARE WRITTEN IN RED IN MY BIBLE

THIS MEANS THAT THEY COME FROM THE LIPS OF OUR LORD

AND HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

OH COME ON….

EVERYONE ELSE HAS TALKED ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT?

John 16:12–13 NKJV

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

1 Corinthians 2:9–13 NKJV

9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

THE TITLE OF MY SERMON TODAY IS..

HOLY SPIRIT TOUR GUIDES

TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR....

TRUST THE TOUR GUIDE

....OPEN IN PRAYER....

HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE FISHING?

I LOVE FISHING

I DON’T GET TIME TO DO IT MUCH

BUT WHEN I GO, I COULD DO IT ALL DAY

THE BEST THING TO DO WHEN YOUR GOING TO GO FISHING IS...

GO WITH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE TO GO (EXPOUND)

I REMEMBER GOING TO GALVESTON BAY WHEN WE LOVED IN TEXAS

AND THERE WAS A GENTLEMEN IN THE CHURCH WHO WAS AN AVID FISHERMAN

I MEAN HE HAD ALL THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

HE HAD THE NICEST BOATS

YOU EVER BEEN FISHING WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD A FISH FINDER/ SONAR

OH BUDDY......IT’S KINDA LIKE CHEATING

BUT IT’S AWESOME

IMAGINE HOW MUCH TIME…PETER, JAMES AND JOHN WOULD HAVE SAVED

IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST HAD A FISH FINDER

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN OUT WITH A TOUR GUIDE???

I USE TO WORK WITH A GUY WHO STARTED HIS OWN TOUR GUIDE SERVICE

AND HE WOULD CHARGE PEOPLE TO TAKE THEM WHERE THE FISH ARE BITING

LISTEN BOTTOM LINE IS THIS...

BEST THING TO DO WHEN YOUR WANTING TO GO FISHING IS...

GO WITH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE TO GO

OR FOLLOW AND TRUST THE TOUR GUIDE

I DO NOT WANT TO GO FISHING AND FOLLOW SOMEONE WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIND THE FISH

I WANT TO FOLLOW A TOUR GUIDE WHO KNOWS WHERE THE FISH ARE

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SITTING IN CHURCHES AND EXPERIENCING CHRISTIAN LIFE

IN WHICH THEY DON’T NEED A TOUR GUIDE

THEY ARE LIVING IN THE SHALLOW END OF CHRISTIANITY

WITH A LITTLE BIT OF JESUS

A LITTLE BIT OF BLESSING

A LITTLE BIT OF GOD

A LITTLE BIT OF HOLY SPIRIT

A LITTLE BIT OF CHURCH

AND A WHOLE LOT OF EVERYTHING ELSE

OH COME ON....

TODAY I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT ....

THERE IS SOMETHING BEYOND THE SHALLOW END OF CHRISTIANITY ....

THAT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERY BORN AGAIN PERSON IN THIS ROOM

UNDERSTAND THIS....

IF YOUR GOING TO LIVE IN THOSE PLACES IN GOD

AND EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF GODS KINGDOM

AND THE FULLNESS OF GOD’S PROMISES

YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE GUIDING YOURSELF

YOUR GOING TO NEED A TOUR GUIDE WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING

IN FACT,

LIVING WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AS YOUR TOUR GUIDE...

IS LIKE DEEP SEA FISHING WITHOUT A SONAR OR DEPTH FINDER

JUST LIKE A GUIDE KNOWS WHERE TO TAKE YOU TO CATCH THE FISH

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GUIDE THAT CAN TAKE YOU TO ALL THAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOU

JESUS SAYS TO HIS DISCIPLES.....AS HE IS GETTING READY TO DIE AND LEAVE THE EARTH.......

I THINK THIS IS FASCINATING

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DISCIPLES DID NOT HAVE THE BIBLE

THEY DIDN’T HAVE THE GIFT OR OPPORTUNITY TO

WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD THROUGH THE WRITTEN WORD

THEY DEPENDED SOLELY ON THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

SO JESUS IN JOHN 16. IS TELLING THEM THINGS THAT ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN

HE IS TELLING THEM THAT HE IS GOING TO DIE

HE TELLING THEM THAT THE SPIRIT IS COMING

AND THEN HE SAYS

HE SAYS TO THEM.....

THERE ARE OTHERS THINGS I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN NOT HANDLE RIGHT NOW

BUT THE SPIRIT IS COMING

AND WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD COMES

HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH

WATCH THIS....

“AND HE WILL TALK AND SPEAK THE THINGS WHICH I SHOW HIM AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS THAT ARE TO COME”

THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NOT....

AN ENERGY

A FORCE

A CLOUD OR SHADOW OUT IN THE MYSTERIOUS BEYOND

HE IS THE....PERSON OF GOD

I DON’T WANT TO GO TO DEEP INTO THIS

BUT WE ARE TRINITARIAN PEOPLE

WE BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER

GOD THE SON

AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

NOT 3 SEPARATE BECAUSE THAT IS MODAL-ISM

WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SO PERFECTLY UNIFIED YET PERFECTLY DIFFERENT

AND THE ONLY WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS THROUGH A SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING OF....

GOD, ALL THREE IN ONE

THAT IS THE PERFECT UNITY OF THE GODHEAD

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A DISAGREEMENT

NEVER BEEN AN ARGUMENT

NEVER BEEN CROSSED BY EACH OTHER

NEVER BEEN UPSET WITH ONE ANOTHER

ALL THREE OF THEM TIED TOGETHER.....ONE IN UNITY

3 DISTINCT, YET ALL 3 ARE ONE

ISN’T THAT A MIRACLE?????

WHEN I SAY THE HOLY SPIRIT...

I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT GOOSE BUMPS

HE IS NOT THE SHAKING IN THE FLOOR BUT.....

SOMETIMES I’VE SEEN HIM TOUCH PEOPLE AND THEY SHOOK ON THE FLOOR

HE IS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE OFF RUNNING

ALTHOUGH I’VE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY HIM, TAKE OFF RUNNING

I DON’T UNDERSTAND PASTOR....WHY PEOPLE DO THAT

WELL YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN THEIR LIFE

I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.....I MEAN JESUS NEVER DID THAT

NO, MAYBE HE DIDN’T…

BUT EVERYBODY HE TOUCHED DID

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ABLE TO BE KNOWN

AND HE WANTS TO REVEAL HIMSELF

AND HE REVEALS HIMSELF AS HOLY SPIRIT TO YOUR SPIRIT...

NOT TO YOUR BODY

HE DOES NOT COMMUNICATE IN AND THROUGH YOUR BODY

ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME???

THIS NATURAL AND TANGIBLE TENT (OUR BODY) THAT YOU AND I ARE IN

IS NOT A MECHANISM THAT GOD GAVE YOU TO

BE ABLE TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATION BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

YOU CAN NOT HEAR HIM WITH NATURAL EARS

SOME PEOPLE STRUGGLE IN FINDING THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT...

BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO FIND HIM AT

IF YOU WANT TO LOCATE THE PLACE INSIDE YOU....

WHERE YOU HEAR THE HOLY SPIRIT

A GOOD PRACTICE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD IS..

BY CLOSING YOUR NATURAL EYES

NOW, I’M NOT SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO

BUT MOST OF THE TIME WHAT YOUR SEEING AND HEARING IN THE NATURAL

DOES NOT COMPLY WITH WHAT THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS TRYING TO TALK TO ME ABOUT

OH COME ON SOMEBODY...

THE BIBLE SAID....

ELIJAH HEARD THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANCE OF RAIN

BUT THERE WAS NO CLOUD IN THE SKY

HOW CAN YOU DECLARE RAIN IS COMING WHEN...

THERE IS NO CLOUDS IN THE SKY......

I’LL TELL YOU HOW.....

YOU OPERATE NOT BY WHAT YOU SEE IN THE NATURAL

BUT WHY WHAT YOU HEAR ON THE INSIDE

IF YOUR NOT AFRAID TO DRAW NEAR TO THE HOLY SPIRIT....AND WALK IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

HE WILL LET YOU HEAR THINGS.....BEFORE YOU SEE THINGS

THE BIBLE SAID HE WOULD SPEAK THINGS AND THEN HE WOULD SHOW THINGS

BEFORE GOD SHOWS IT

HE SAYS IT

AND YOU AND I HAVE TO PICK UP ON IT

AND JESUS SAID....

THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WILL GUIDE YOU IN ......ALL

SOMEBODY SAY....ALL

HE WILL GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH

I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS MORE OF GOD

THAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN

HOW MANY KNOW THAT GOD HAS REVEALED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THINGS TO HUMANITY???

YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT TODAY...

THERE IS MORE OF GOD HIDDEN THAN THERE IS REVEALED

AS MUCH AS WE CAN SEE THAT GOD HAS REVEALED TO US...

WHEN I GO THE BEACHES OF MONTEREY AND SEE THE LANDSCAPE AND THE BEAUTY THAT GOD HAS CREATED

AND THEN I SEE THE WATER ON THE BEACH THAT CAN ONLY COME SO FAR

AND THEN I WALK OUT AT NIGHT SOMETIMES AND LOOK AT THE CLOUDLESS SKY

AND I SEE THE CONSTELATIONS AND THE STARS

AND I’VE BEEN TO THE GRAND CANYON TO SEE ALL THE VAST AND AMAZING THINGS THAT GOD HAS DONE

AND TO THINK THAT ALL THAT GOD HAS REVEALED TO US IN THE BEAUTY OF NATURE ALONE

WHAT ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF A CHILD

AND PEOPLE WHO EVERYONE HAS GIVEN UP ON COME TO KNOW THE THE LORD

AD DECIDE TO GET BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST

AND YET....IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THIS BEAUTY

HE HAS HIDDEN MORE THAN HE HAS REVEALED

OH MY LORD....

THAT IS WHY ETERNITY IS CALLED ETERNITY

IT HAS NO END

BECAUSE ETERNITY IS THE VEHICLE THAT GOD CHOSE TO REVEAL THE FULLNESS OF HIS REVELATION

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT

THERE IS A REASON WHY ETERNITY HAS NO END

IF YOU EVER PUT AN END ON ETERNITY

IT CAN NOT BE THE VEHICLE THAT GOD USES TO REVEAL THE TOTALITY OF WHO HE IS

BECAUSE THE TOTALITY OF WHO HE IS...

WILL NEVER BE COMPLETELY REVEALED

HE IS THAT AWESOME

OH MY LORD

FOREVER AND EVER

THE ANGELS HAVE CIRCLED THE THRONE CRYING HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

AND THEY NEVER GET TIRED.....HOW

OH COME ON SOMEBODY......I SAID IT LAST WEEK

BECAUSE EVERY TIME ANOTHER REVOLUTION IS MADE AROUND HIS THRONE

NEW REVELATION IS PRODUCED BECAUSE....

THE OVERFLOW OF WHO HE IS CAN NEVER BE STOPPED

YOU CAN’T PUT AN END ON IT

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE ETERNITY

WE HAVE TO HAVE A SPACE AND A PLACE WHERE IT NEVER ENDS

BECAUSE HE NEVER ENDS

CAN I GET AN AMEN???

8 TIMES IN CHAPTER 2 OF CORINTHIANS

PAUL CALLS IT....”THE THINGS OF GOD”

AND IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL..

WE WILL LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE IN THE SHALLOW THINGS

AND WE WILL LIVE IN THIS SUPERFICIAL SUNDAY MORNING ONLY EXPERIENCE WITH GOD

WHERE WE HAVE COMPARTMENTALIZED OUR LIFE AND...

SUCCESSFULLY PUT GOD ON OUR SUNDAY CALENDAR

BUT WE DO NOT LIVE WITH HIM BEING OUR TOUR GUIDE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

OH MY LORD....ARE YOU HEARING ME TODAY

WE STAY IN THE SHALLOW END AND...

WE LOVE GOD BUT....

WE LIVE OUR WHOLE LIFE NOT REALIZING THAT....

IT IS BECAUSE WE LOVE GOD

THAT THERE IS MORE FOR US

WHY DON’T PEOPLE WANT THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD

I THINK THAT MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THEY ARE AVAILABLE

UNDERSTAND THIS...

YOU CAN NOT HAVE AN EXPECTATION FOR THINGS

THAT YOU DON’T HAVE FAITH FOR

AND YOU CAN’T HAVE FAITH FOR THINGS THAT YOU DON’T KNOW ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU

THAT IS WHY PAUL SAID…FAITH COMES BY......HEARING

AND HEARING THE WORD OF GOD

OH COME ON....

WHEN I SPEAK TRUTH FROM THE WORD OF GOD...

AND IT GETS DEPOSITED INTO YOUR SPIRIT

IT IS SUPPOSED TO WAKE UP FAITH AND EXPECTATION

MOST PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TAUGHT

AND THE PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT THEM

DON’T BELIEVE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T DISCOVERED THE DEEP THINGS THEMSELVES

1 Corinthians 2:10 (NKJV)

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

THE GREEK WORD FOR DEEP THINGS IS..

BATHOS

IT IS LITERALLY THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEPEST PLACES IN THE OCEAN

WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE GUIDE...

THAT TAKES US INTO ALL TRUTH

LET ME SEE IF I CAN EXPLAIN THIS IN A WAY THAT WE WOULD UNDERSTAND IT...

THE SPIRIT OF GOD...

WENT INTO THE DEEP PLACES OF GOD

AND DISCOVERED EVERYTHING THAT THERE WAS FOR YOU

AND THEN HE COMES BACK TO YOU

AND AS A TOUR GUIDE....

TAKES YOU INTO THE DEEP THINGS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR YOU

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT......

THAT EXCITES ME.....

WHEN I TALK ABOUT THE DEEP AND THE SHALLOW THINGS

I AM NOT TRYING TO CREATE HIERARCHIES

UNDERSTAND THIS...

NO ONE IN HERE TODAY IS MORE SPIRITUALLY ELITE THAN ANYONE ELSE

GOD IS NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS

BUT HE IS RESPECTER OF PRINCIPLES

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE INVITED INTO ACCESSING THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD....

THAT OTHERS COULD HAVE..... BUT DON’T GET INVITATIONS TO

NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE LESS SPIRITUAL THAN THE PEOPLE WHO GOT AN INVITATION

BUT BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE THE PRINCIPLES OF DEVOTION THAT UNLOCK ...

THE DEEP PLACE THAT GOD HAD FOR THEM

PASTOR CHRIS WHAT ARE YOU SAYING??? - I’M GLAD YOU ASKED

THERE IS ONLY ONE STIPULATION GIVEN TO US IN 1 COR 2. FOR KNOWING THE DEEP THINGS THAT GOD HAS FOR US

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)

9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

IF YOU LOVE GOD....I MEAN LIKE SERIOUSLY PURSUE HIM

YOU KNOW WHY I AM MARRIED TO MY WIFE

BECAUSE I PURSUED HER AND LOVED HER LIKE NO OTHER MAN PURSUED HER AND LOVED HER

THERE ARE PEOPLE SITTING IN THIS CHURCH WHO SAY THEY LOVE GOD

AND MAYBE YOU MIGHT LOVE HIM

BUT IT’S ONLY 10-1 ON SUNDAY

BUT GOD SAID...

FOR THOSE WHO REALLY LOVE ME

NOT JUST BLOWING ME KISSES ON SUNDAY

NOT JUST DATING ME ON THE WEEKEND

NOT JUST HITCHED UP TO ME TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO FOR THEM

BUT FOR THOSE WHO DON’T EVEN NEED A REASON TO COME TALK TO ME IN PRAYER

THOSE WHO DON’T EVEN MIND STAYING UP AT NIGHT WITH TEAR COMING DOWN MY FACE

NOTHING IS EVEN WRONG…I’M JUST GLAD I BELONG TO HI AND HE BELONGS TO ME

I LOVE HIM

GOD SAID.....

FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME

IT HASN’T EVEN ENTERED YOUR HEART........

THE THINGS

LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM....

THINGS

MIRACULOUS..THINGS

MIND BLOWING…THINGS

THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO.....

LOVE HIM

ISN’T THIS GOOD NEWS???

OH COME ON SOMEBODY.......

I DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT

I DON’T HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER

I DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A DEGREE IN THEOLOGY

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS LOVE THE LORD MY GOD...

WITH ALL OF MY HEART

ALL OF MY MIND

ALL MY SOUL

ALL MY STRENGTH

AND I REALLY LOVE HIM MORE THAN I LOVE ANYTHING ELSE

HE HAS A WAY OF REVEALING....

THINGS

.....WORSHIP TEAM COME.....

AND THE ONE WHO REVEALS

KNOW WHERE THE THINGS ARE

HE IS NOT FINDING THEM NOW

HE KNEW THEM ABOUT YOU BEFORE YOU GOT HERE

OH MY LORD....

WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS...

THE SPIRIT SEARCHES THE THINGS OF GOD

THIS SEARCH HAS ALREADY OCCURRED

HE ALREADY KNEW MY DAYS BEFORE CONNIE AND ROGER BROTHERS GOT HOOKED UP

AND HAD DINNER TOGETHER

OH I DON’T THINK YOUR GETTING IT

GOD KNEW WHAT HE HAD IN STORE FOR YOU

HE IS NOT TRYING TO FIND OUT A PLAN ON THE FLY

HE IS NOT SURPRISED BY THE YEARS OF FAILURE

AND THE YEARS OF MISERY

AND THE YEARS OF MESS YOU MADE

HE KNEW IT WAS COMING

OH COME ON SOMEBODY.....

I JUST NEED TO TELL YOU....

IT DOESN’T END IN MISERY

IT DOESN’T END IN A MESS

IT MIGHT HAVE STARTED IN A MESS

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISERABLE

BUT IN THE END....HE IS TAKING YOU TO A PLACE....

CALLED THE DEEP THINGS

AND HE HAS ALREADY SEEN YOU THERE

THE DEEP THINGS.....

.....STAND TO YOUR FEET......

YOU CAN’T ACCESS THIS DEEP PLACE WITHOUT INTIMACY WITH GOD

CASUAL CHRISTIANITY IS KILLING THE AMERICAN CHURCH

WE DON’T WANT A GOD WHO IS THE ABSOLUTE OBJECT OF ALL OF OUR AFFECTION

WE WANT A GOD WHO ACCEPTS OUR LEFTOVERS

ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS GOD COULD DO IS...

SEND HIS GLORY TO PEOPLE WHO

HAVE NOT DEMONSTRATED PURE INTIMACY WITH HIM

THINK ABOUT THAT....

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GUIDES US INTO ALL TRUTH

THE REASON THAT THE FISHING GUIDE KNOWS WHERE TO GO

IS BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY BEEN THERE BEFORE

LISTEN TO THIS....

THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS WHERE TO TAKE YOU TODAY

BECAUSE HE HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE TODAY

AND WATCH THIS....

HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO FOR YOU TOMORROW

BECAUSE HE HAS ALREADY BEEN IN YOUR TOMORROW

WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS....HE IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA

THAT DOESNT JUST MEAN HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END

HE IS......BUT HE ALSO EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN BETWEEN

HE GUIDES US......TO THE DEEP THINGS

THAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US

CAN WE JUST CLOSE OUR EYES FOR A MINUTE

I FEEL LIKE TODAY ISN’T JUST AN EXPLANATION

BUT AN INVITATION

FOR SOMEBODY TO SAY...

“I JUST WANT TO LOVE HIM MORE THAN I HAVE EVER LOVED HIM BEFORE”

I WANT TO GIVE HIM ALL OF MY HEART

I DON’T TO JUST SEEK HIM OUT OF CONVENIENCE

OR SEEK HIM FOR THE BENEFITS

I JUST WANT.....HIM

I NEED HIM

COME ON....JUST TELL HIM THAT UNTIL YOUR HEART TELLS HIM THAT

NOT JUST YOUR MIND BECAUSE I’M TELLING YOU TOO

TELL HIM THAT UNTIL YOUR HEART TELLS HIM THAT

I WANT THE TOUR GUIDE

HOLY SPIRIT, YOU KNOW WHAT MY DAYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE

I’M TIRED OF LIVING FOR ME AND BEING MY OWN TOUR GUIDE

YOU KNOW WHAT GOD HAS FOR ME

YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN STORE FOR MY LIFE

OH COME ON.....

THESE ALTARS ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW...

COME

LETS JOIN TOGETHER ALL ACROSS THE FRONT TODAY.........

AND JUST LOVE ON HIM RIGHT NOW.....

COME ON....

I FEEL LIKE THE GOD IS WANTING TO BRING BREAKTHROUGH TODAY

I FEEL LIKE HE WANT TO FREE YOU FROM SOME STUFF

WOULD YOU COME????
