Gateway Essence 16 Feb 2019

Making lunch. God bless her father. Thank you for our time together. Yeah, keep coming. Holy Spirit. We just ask for the yeah the life of the spirit flow in this place and God. Thank you so much for lasting fruit and change that remains. And yeah, the things that take us from glory to glory that we don't want to just stay the same. Anybody want to stay the same. I hope not anybody want to grow in God. Be more anointed, you know by the end of this year than you are right now that takes a process most of it. Maybe not all of you, but some of your going to be here tomorrow to write I'm going to share some things that I really care to my heart regarding this year and what the Lord's been speaking, but all right, so keep calm and holy spirit let your fire fall Open Hearts and give us strength in Jesus name. We love you. Amen. I'm going to go along this direction. It really has to do about going in to the fullest of are calling and Destiny but how it how it relates to our mind in the renewing of our minds and the Power of Positive Thinking by the way, there's forget his name. Emily's husband. Hello. Glad you're here. And that's right, father. Thank you. Yeah, you know because I don't know about you, but I really want to see the fullest of my calling in my destiny. I want to live it out and to have nothing get in the way of that and when the Lord spoke clearly in Romans, is it Romans 12, but he talks about that. We need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind right that there is not this so that this thing that that keeps us in unbelief or keeps us from walking in all God has for us. We have a wrong view of God. Wrong view of ourselves or a wrong view of life. Really what's up in the words of the RTF restoring the foundations people. It would be called ungodly beliefs. But listen to this 49% of the New Testament contains roughly references to spiritual or non-rational experiences to be so to be bound by rationalism or an overemphasis on reason will effectively cut off half of the New Testament. We don't want to do that do it. But what's happened in our society, if you think about the age of reasoning or the you know, the Socrates The Plato the Aristotle and then Aristotle was the tutor of Alexander the Great Alexander the Great went and conquered all of the modern world at that time of how many of you know your history well enough to look know a little bit about that actually the Bible prophecies about Alexander the Great and Daniel 11 It's very clear. And then Alexander the Great's it was all split into 4 Parts after that. But what was that all about? Well, you see the area Plato's are is Socrates Plato Aristotle teaching was really about reasoning and intellect and if you cannot see it tasted tested scientifically prove it therefore it's not significant. For example, Heaven and Hell Soho concept of Heaven and Hell in the whole awareness of the spirit realm became lesser than culturally because of this teaching and and then then then later, you know, what age of enlightenment and all the source of how sad come on how sad do you know what God wants you are Spirit you live in a body. And you have a soul you are Spirit your spirit lives on into eternity. So this body is going to go, you know into the ground or whatever end and yet you are spirits in other words what God wants us to do I believe his live more and more from the spirit. You are led by the spirit to be led by the spirit the spirit Wars against the US the carnal nature. So like for example when I was a child growing up, I used to see demons a lot and now I wouldn't recommend that you desire that I didn't desire that but it was just something that happened and yet you know what we do so many times with kids. Let's say that see demonic things are thank you know, that's not real. You're not really seeing that it's just you're just afraid or whatever but no I saw with my natural eyes things. It's Cuz I think I did have a prophetic gifting or an awareness of that ramp. But yet it is so outside the norm that you know that I didn't know what to do with it. And therefore I tried to really shut off the ability to see and that actually happen for many years until the Lord really spoke to me about opening up the ability to see again, but this time want to see the what God was up to write what God was doing. I'm if you know that God actually wants you to see in the spare room. We can talk about that to can you get me another stand please. So so in other words to just say I am a spiritual Being II had gone through it a season in the fall that was so you know, just something I wouldn't have missed. So he chose to do we were helping our nation's capital Auto on helping the national House of Prayer and that was really thank you a whole other level of spiritual warfare. And I kept feeling in my spirit that we were dealing with like Jezebel or Jezebel entities and yet you know, I was like, what is this just me but every time a prophetic person would come now. Yeah, we feel just like I do to you know, but then it's it's another thing to walk in our Authority isn't it to be able to take authority over those demonic beings? And so this was something that we were endeavoring to do and so I really want that want to talk with this though the renewing of your mind if you know that we have a three levels of Destiny might have been yet put up things 3 levels of Destiny number one or internal Destiny. What is going on in your head your dialogue your inner yourself talk. Sometimes it's called self taught yourself. The inner journey of you. Do you like you do you enjoy life? Do you like being you do you are you full of the joy in the fruit of the spirit? That is so important. You know that because I guess what you go everywhere you go. Did you know that Gloria you can't get away from you? Alright, so another words you you we need to enjoy the journey like love being us. And so when the enemy wants to come with a spirit of accusation of negativity, I am really troubled by how many even young people are verging on a lot of depression or there is a suicide remember giving a call recently Even in our church in Toronto for suicide and I'm thinking okay what you know what I gave this call for suicide can believe it at the 25th anniversary conference 3,000 people in attendance and I'm thinking they paid a lot of money to come to this conference are obviously strong Christians. Oh God, you got to be joking. You're asking me to give a call for suicide will seize our pastors and leaders of the Lord said do it. Well shockingly the front was full of people. And I had afterwards Partners in Harvest pastors come up to me and say I can't be no. I can't believe you gave that call but I have been struggling with thoughts of suicide and it was where you know, the largest boom came in with such power to set these people free. I was speaking in New York earlier this year or no. We're in the new year. I don't know what it was in August. So speaking in New York City very large amazing Church in New York City. This pastor had was telling me a story how he had had a surgery at had an injury had a surgery use an opiate opioid addiction is rampid. It is almost like a state of emergency in certain states in the United States. The actual life expectancy of Americans has gone down over the last three years primarily because of opioid addiction and therefore drug overdose in early deaths. So this pastor was explaining how he had surgery physician sent him afterwards. Just take these pills are painkillers. And he's like no instruction about any of these pain pills pops the pills because it helps with the pain before, you know, what the guys addicted a pastor of a large thriving Church in New York City is addicted to the opioids and there and then he's like realizing it is like I got to get off of this stuff. So he is trying to cut himself off of these pills and has like psychotic type thought was considering killing himself. Isn't that incredible? Anyways, what where am I going with this? I tell you come on church. We need to learn this stuff because if we're going to help the world as well. It's like there is a onslaught of mental bombardment against people lot of young people like, you know, do you know the incidence of panic attacks and fearon on young girls and whatnot is is just markedly on the increase even movies that were watching this movie. Watch it. Anyways for this young girls about 11 years old his mom don't you realize that almost everybody? My age has panic attacks. I was like, oh my goodness in a movie even so what is this the renewing of our minds? There's an internal destiny that we have. Okay, what goes on in your head? What are the thoughts in your brain? What do we allow in their Mark virkler? Who can you would have heard Mark virkler, but he talks about hearing God's voice Baptist pastor, but he puts you did a survey of his own thinking and discovered that 80% of his thinking was negative years ago 20% was positive and then he surveyed the body of Christ and found that that was buying large about the average 80% negative 20% positive. Then he makes a statement everything negative is from the enemy everything positive is from God for you all day shift statement, but I found myself thinking about that and thinking well that makes a lot of sense actually, you know, the enemy's accusation Spirit of accusation. I'm even know that even Satan went before God 2 Q's dope, you know, he does that he'll there's is attacking her mind anyway, so the war in her mind taking every thought captive to The Obedience of Christ. It's just for a moment charged with Fusions for all three of these aspects. We want to get this Fusions for

Says this in verse 22.

But you put off concerning your former conduct the old man, which girls corrupt along with the deceitful s. Okay. Here's the old man. Deceitfulness corrupt you got to put off the old man. Okay, fine. I've got to put off the old man. How do I do that? And then over here verse 24 that you put on the new man, which was created according to God and true righteousness and Holiness. Okay old man new man. Got to put off the old got to put on the new what's the bridge the bridge verse 43 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind be renewed in the spirit of your mind. So this is very spiritual that God wants to renew our minds that we would have the spirit. Lead the spirit would rise that we would not be caught also in our cultural acceptability. Are cultural norms or what? The world says is? Okay. Guess what what the world says is okay is not necessarily what God says. It's okay and it's like I don't know about you, but I want to live from a Biblical worldview. Anybody want to live from a Biblical worldview. All right. What is that? That's the set of lenses for what you view life that is where you know, we view Society. We view morality. We view history review theology. We view our very lives even health and all of this through the lens of what does the Bible say even dating or scripture? That is CBN are 700 Club is doing it a series. I think they did it this past week with in relation to Valentine's Day. They called the it was called the unhooked from a hook-up Society challenging society's view that it's okay to sleep around or it's okay. Live together, you know before marriage will wait a second. How old are we rationalize that with the scriptures, you know the talk about sexual Purity into marriage and on September Stone I'm saying the world is buying it. The church is buying into it. That's what's tragic. The church is buying into all these things in buying into it's okay to ordain homosexuals. I don't see that in the scripture read Romans 1. So in other words, we don't have a clear biblical worldview, then it's hard to see the renewing of your mind second form of Destiny external Destiny would have you called to do in this life. What is it that God has for you to accomplish on planet Earth and the destiny the calling on each of us. We are created in Christ for good works. The the Ephesians 2:10 created in Christ for good works and that I that he ordained beforehand that we should walk in them. So that is where we are going to listen to The Lure also going to come in a line with different. Desires in us all remember there's is Pastor. His name is Robert Henderson. I don't approve everything Robert Henderson is also the courts of Heaven guy, but he had a good talk in our church. The one time you talked about. How do you know what you're called to do I go. How do you know that that let me give you five signs to know your calling number? Enjoy. Number one, you will enjoy what you do. You will enjoy what you do. If you don't initially like what God has called you to do if it's of him, he'll change your heart to enjoy it. I remember sing to the Lord years ago music member saying God don't send me I was a farm girl, right? I don't send me to Toronto. I don't want to live in Toronto here. I am a farm girl and I've lived in Toronto on and off for 23 years and I really do love Toronto. So in other words, even if you don't initially like a God will help you like it. I'm really glad by the way when I was in university, I had a summer job for a bit at Campbell Soup Factory. I cut chicken chickens chicken on the line you had to cut the chicken legs. If you've ever seen that old show from Lucy and I Love Lucy when she's at the Chocolate Factory. My remember the Chocolate Factory is trying to eat The Chocolate Touch together. That was me and the Chicken Soup for the chicken legs going way too fast for me to my God. I hate this job. I'm so glad God did not call me to the Campbell Soup chicken factory. But sometimes you got to do what you do right eye say to young people don't just be thinking that you're going to start with a great your ideal job right away. That's not rust not rational, you know, you use you do want me to put your hand to the plow guess we're God found Elijah when he was called me first the servant of Elijah and then become the prophet with a double portion. What was he doing? He remembers huh? Yeah with oxen he's out there in the field plowing God, you know sends Elijah to go get them. God will knows where you are. Be faithful with what you do? Okay, so that's one thing you'll enjoy it. Maybe not right away, but you will you will be gifted at what you're called to do. So Grace is given to us for what we're called to do in the gifts are attached to that Grace. So in other words, you will start to rise up and some god-given gifting in a certain area. I love with Joyce Meyers says when she was trying to figure out the will of God for her life. So she went to help out in the kids ministry and she got kicked out of the kids ministry. They said please don't come back to help here anymore. How many know that that was not Joyce Meyers calling now. She what she did love to do is she said I could talk talk talk. I love to talk a little more Joyce Meyer is a brilliant talker. I still I'm still Marvel when I watch her online or something in the stadium. It's anybody know what is just full she's a teacher has no Bible School degree. It's all Supernatural but she's a super teacher. Okay, you'll be gifted out at number three, you will have success doing what God calls you to do. In other words, you will be fruitful in it. As you are faithful witness with little more will be given. All right, so you have an element of success number for Eventually, you will make you will be able to make money doing what you are gifted to do.

God wants you to make a living doing what you're passionate about. This may not happen right away and volunteering is important at times, but eventually you'll be able to be financially supported by your god-given calling. Mershon bolt Susie's profit, but he was giving the story of how he was single till he's 37.

And I said how he met his wife was he was speaking the Arizona and his future wife who didn't know it was in the crowd with a few of her friends and he calls out this name that he didn't know an address and it turns out to be one of her friends her friend had a very good corporate job and was making a lot of money but really had a kind of like a holy like a dissatisfaction with the job. Even though is great job good money good benefits all that stuff. He calls her the crown says you the Lord says over you that you have, you know, you have a desire for makeup. You have a desire to beautify and and and there's an artistic expression you for makeup and the Lord says that you'll be able to do this and and this blue this girl out of the water because she really did love to do you know, what's form of art? Really? What do they call it makeup artist art aren't you know, and so she comes out of her corporate position takes this job as a makeup artist and now is doing Makeup for a movie movie stars in the film industry and loves what she's doing. All right. So God, really? I don't believe that he wants us to again hate your job. All right, and sometimes it's a matter of volunteering or going to the processes of doing what you're doing, but you'll be able to make money out at number five the right people will bear witness to what you're called to do. All right. So you have confirmation from those that God has spoken at your like there's just a little indication. Now the witness of the spirit the Lord will open doors I can get on and on too many confirmations my own life about doing what I'm doing right now. Sorry when I'm eight-years-old of this encounter with prophecy two people come to the family farm prophesied over me that I'm going to travel the world tell people about Jesus and it was kept getting confirmed. But guess what I have to keep saying. Yes. has anybody noticed in your life that you don't just say yes once Do you know when you get married you say? Yes at the altar, correct? But then you keep saying yes, don't you you keep seeing us as in as if I choose you and I love you. And I don't know I don't have to tell you I loved you. I told you that 20 years ago when I married you come on and needs to keep getting reinforced. Alright, so they yes in her heart to God keeps getting reinforced in the things that God has for us. This is our external Destiny Eternal Destiny the third one and really crucial obviously, where are you and I going to spend eternity and that's a holder preach, but there's rewards available to us. I know nine different references references in the Bible it speak of heavenly rewards speak of of us ruling with Jesus the crown the Paul said it I I've fought the fight to Finish. The race is a crown set up for me. So it's not just about it's not just about this life. I can't help but just turn to 1st Corinthians 6 let's look at this is it Sixers at 9 we'll find it somewhere. But Paul how many of you know that Paul was in prison, you know that right for quite of. Of time. And if you've ever been to Israel, there's a place called dezerea maritima, which is by the Sea. It's actually 9% is 9 Sol by the sea is sensory ameriteam. It's right by the Mediterranean Sea you have well done.

I'm going again November think it's some I think I might have one spot left. But I mean, this is amazing though. Do you guys remember the Hippodrome? Yeah, I love that place because here is the ruins of herod's Palace on caesarea maritima and there's a prison that Paul was imprisoned in there as well. But you see the Hippodrome which is really the track where the athletes train the Olympians trained by the way Herod a little needless information. But Herod was the one who brought about first second and third place because prior it was only one first place that was at but the Hippodrome the the athletes would be training and running there or also there was chariot races there as well. Paul is seeing this through his cell to his prison cell. He says this 1st Corinthians. I'm starting a verse 24. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run but one receive the prize run in such a way that you may obtain it and everyone who compete for the prize is tempura nothing but they do it for obtaining a perishable Crown but we do it for an imperishable Crown therefore. I run not with uncertainty. That's how I fight not as one who beats the air but I discipline my body and I bring it into subjection less when I have preached to others. I myself should become disqualified. I love this. What is saying there is CC needs guys training and thinking oh my goodness. Look at all the hours that they're putting into their body getting trained and equipped to that. They can receive what a temporal for I you know, that's going to perish anyways, how much more should I discipline myself causing my spirit to come up and come awake and come alive for? Imperishable crown that which goes on into eternity. Guess what there is like when we're talking about the Mind here which will give it back to you in a minute. Do you know that taking every thought captive to The Obedience of Christ takes actually hard work at first but it's worth it because it's even unto any Eternal Crye-Leike meaning when we get our mind renewed when we get ourselves on track with the Lord and with his ways and we start living the fullness of our destiny. This is something that goes on into eternity. Our love for God is of Eternal consequence. Our love here is overturn a consequence of get some 1st Corinthians 3 about you know, what it says. They're about building the foundation Jesus Christ. Was that your salvation is through Jesus, correct? Yes. How do you get into heaven Jesus? But then it also goes on to say no build on that or build your life on this Foundation Jesus Christ with what first it's Lis silver gold or precious stones or with straw hay or stubble What is the difference? Silver gold precious stones does it pass the test of fire? Cuz that passage goes on to say that the pasta testified as it passes has sparked. What is a yes. What about wood? Hay or straw or stubble know another thing by the way is gold silver precious stones tend to be there underground aren't they? They take there's a foundational thing to dig for them the straw that hey there the Woody it's above ground or the point of that is all to say this is that come on. I want to build my life on that which will pass the test of fire on that day when I see him face-to-face on that day when it's like is this the atonement the day of atonement when it's like God. Yes my punishment or my my judgment fell on you Jesus, but I have to give an account for my life. And so do you I hope this motivates us to say God. I just want I want all you I want all you have. I want to discipline myself, by the way, if you want a few other verses on running Hebrews 12 1 2 3

1st Corinthians 9 already gave you that won 24 to 26 Philippians 3 12 to 14 2nd. Timothy 4 68. This is cuz Paul really really paid attention to the run the race run the race run the race for the price at before you run the race for the Eternal prize. Come on search. I like the hell out who drove us here today. She said that's what they earn their husband are participating in the from couch to 5K. Is that crazy that her husband never read before and they're going from sitting on the couch being Couch Potato to write running 5K. Holy moly, you know, we got to do sometimes just get off the couch. Get off the couch. Let us not become Couch Potato Christians. All right, seriously, I do feel it as something of God putting a gumption in us already got sent us or whatever. We call it to say. I'm going to get up. I'm going to fulfill his call him. I like all right. So I want to talk to you in this internal Destiny stuff the renewing of ramayana touching just a lil bit a little bit of what the power of the break. I have a degree in nursing not quite as smart as Matilda cuz she's a medical doctor, but she can correct me if she wants but I want to give you a few things that I find interesting. The brain is the center of the nervous system. There's about 100 billion neurons in the human brain at the same number of star the same number of stars in our galaxy. Wow. Each neuron is linked up with about 10,000 synoptic connections each. So there's about 750 mm mL of blood flow to the brain every minute or about 3 full cans of soda and that minute the brain will consume like 1/5 cups of oxygen for that but it controls the other organs as we know activating muscles secretion of chemicals such as hormones all that sort of stuff. I love this facts about the brain your brains about 2% of your total bodyweight, but it uses twenty percent. Your body's energy just in case you think that it's not doesn't take much energy does speaker preach you I've heard that to preach a full-on sermon is about the same energy that for somebody in an ordinary job of a 628 hour job, not crazy. So I do actually will I will get weary sometimes after preaching, you know, there's a there's an amazing amount of energy that goes to it but 20% of your body's energy the energy used by the brain is enough to light up a 25 watt light bulb more electrical impulses are generated in one day by a single human bring them by all the telephones in the world. Holy moly. How much does a human brain think 70000 is the number of fox that's estimated the human brain produces on an average day 70,000 after age 30 the brain shrinks Accord over percent. Inmessage year Albert Einstein's brain. You can keep exercising it the right Matilda Albert Einstein's brain weight about 1230 grams or 2.71 lb significantly less than the average human actually more of the news about noise last sold interesting about 1389 is the percentage of people who report normally writing with their right hand 10% with their left hand and only .34% with either hand. So then we have the right and left hemisphere. If I know about this left hemisphere of the brain has about 186 million more neurons than the right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is responsible for right body control spoken language number skills written language reading reasoning right hemisphere left body control music awareness three dimensional. Ormes Hardware does intuition imagination. So the left hemisphere of the brain works primarily with analytical functions will the right side purses intuitively and Visionary functions of the we do use both sides of her brain most of us tend to rely bit more on one or the other about 60% Learn towards more left brain 40% more right brain this because maybe because Reading Writing arithmetic or left brain functions are considered required courses in our educational system. What art music drama right brain functions are elective courses right? Brain people baby more active say old hearing God is easy. Just so you know, just you know that, you know that you know, and then the left brain people don't really know. It's got to remind me my husband and I as we were getting married in making decisions and I would say, ah believe God saying this he says that doesn't make any sense. How do you know that where you get that from and my times with god with I'm sitting there in a lounge chair, you know read my Bible journaling like this and my husband would be over here just on the floor Disneyland you sweating is like God God God. There's nothing wrong with pretty like that to okay, but he was just that's his prayer time all the time and it would look over at me and I'm journaling and I'm listening to God and he would like God she's not really praying.

What is she doing and the Lord spoke to him said John? She's listening to me and I'll never forget when this profit this is years ago early in our marriage. This guy comes along you so sure he makes my husband stand up Sir. The Lord says that you need to stop leaning on your wife's ability to hear God because you can hear God. None. Like you think I paid the guy right to know what my husband who knows the Bible inside of an upside-down operates much more left brain. He repented for believing the lie that he couldn't hear God. And something came off of him that day. It didn't know he's still like when we prophesy together, I'll usually start and then he'll come in there with some amazing Rhythm Aces really funny. I know they were trying to they were trying to rip me but we were at these pastors Catch Fire pastors John I were prophesied over their entire team and that the end that Pastor said, oh my goodness. I didn't know it. Was that prophetic. Maybe he's even better than Patricia is this the guy is really that can we just deal with that? Are we? All right. You don't have to tell me if you're right brain left brain doesn't matter. It's really it's more of a function how you learn or what your tendency is, but we want to tune into the what the spirit is saying if it more like that, it's almost like a the intuitive or the the ability to see beyond the obvious. So just say this Lord, forgive me. For anyway, I believe the lie that I can't hear you or it's hard to hear you or anyway, where I've embraced rationalism. Over the spirits I Repent, I believe the truth of your word. That your ship can hear your voice and I can hear your voice. Jesus name so Lord. I'm asking that you lift off every barrier every block every lid every whatever that's tried to keep your people from the intuitive from the prophetic from the from the spare room. We want to really be able to enter into this in the name of Jesus through the power of the blood of Jesus coming sanctify renew our mind. Let me just give you a story from this week. We had normal school prophets in the locks Lane in shaftesbury. Emma Stark was with us. She shared the story that would probably blow your mind. But at you know, I've seen you know, anyways, okay, so she was helping this a note 5 if I hard to believe but there was as high priestess who have been raised to be like the Bride of Satan. If you know, this actually goes on okay, we experienced this way back when we posture when I was in university started the home group and most the second highest capital for witchcraft or occult is in London, Ontario not London your London, Ontario. And that's where I was in university. We had people come into our home group that were in the occult. They wanted to get out of your call. I would get phone calls and then all night from this these coven guys and it was crazy. My eyes were open to the fact that witchcraft Satan worship. All that stuff really does go on. Okay. So do I still hear this lady back to Emma story? She was raised to be like a high priest has she was told to infiltrate the church. She's almost seduced a guy who actually was a pastor to marry her but it really it was like to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. So she married this guy or no church of England or whatever. It was and factors than they had some kids but acting all the while in her secret life. She's part of the coven and as she's also breeder, we had a breeder come to our small group. So I know what this is the breeder in our small group. She was raped repeatedly to give birth to babies that were never registered with the government so that they could be sacrifice to Satan that crazy stuff actually goes on. So in this story this woman who's also want Please breeder. So she's I think they had a couple kids with her husband, but then she's it's just a crazy story. But here is a deal the coven. She started to say I want out now getting ahold of the thing. Okay, and so she had it they actually the occult. It actually implanted a tracking device in her breast so they would know where she was at every moment. And so Emma and two other prophets are there helping her one night and they started to pray God just cause us to come out. I'll let you know Musa Street Revival. It was one woman. I forget her name, but they called her the tumor lady. She can go around with a kerchief in her hand and pray and tumors would fall off. Do you know about that the stories I love the Azusa Street Revival stories limbs would grow out. But tumors. I think there was 200 document to tumors that fell off of people or they would throw up tumors that this lady had prayed for is not awesome. Is it colder than 2 or later? Cuz she had always cared a kerchief because people would get free of tumors anyways, but they were praising God. Could you just caused this thing to come out, you know, not by surgery per se but so there are praying for all of a sudden the coven who know that they're there start to circle the house and they're like, oh no we're in trouble. Oh God, help us are pleading the blood pleading the blood to come and guys are just outside the door. They're both. I don't know how many yards away from the house they pull up their oil and start anointing the oil and sing Old God, you know come in and join the soil and I'll maybe I should have started this crazy story, but Might not be ass back here. But it's okay. I'm trying to blow your body. Like I'm trying to say this is stuff is real. Okay. So anyways, so they're praying there's no God says he's coming guys are there they take their oil the open the door and it just start to flip the oil and say oh God, we plead the blood of Jesus and then the Lord just kind of give them a thought like make it so that they have to move back for a 50ft that they can't come around the perimeter of the house. So they start to flip the oil and pray and plead the blood of Jesus. And guess what these common guys get pushed backwards 50 feet. Like they literally are thrown back in there. And I thought maybe she'd go farther hundred feet hundred feet and there they are just like this stuff really does happen. And so then anyways, so the long story of the show us a story that short of the story is that these this woman gets free of this tracking device thing in the in the coven realize that they have no level of a phone. Against the Living God come on. I really believe that we need to sanctify our minds to realize there is no demon greater than Jesus. There is no Domani Prince. Does it mean like you welcome at all like you can get yourself in trouble by willful sin and all these sorts of stuff but there's something about the sanctification of our mind to realize that we have all authority all power all you know what I mean? And I I just feel like how could we really help a woman like that? Can we really help people that are addicted to drugs if we don't know our Authority. Come on somebody talk to me. Are you guys alive?

We just had remember having this call for a addicts, you know to come forward and the sky chronically getting set free in a moment from alcohol addiction email me afterwards and said how changes I've just received Deliverance in and God setting free people from demonic old. I mean Jesus did it. He said all authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me therefore go. What was one of the first signs Matthew 28 was the first signs that he said that we will do in my name you will what Cast out demons. Is it fun to start there? In my name you will cast out demons. You will cast out demons. Come on church. This is God is wanting us to rise up and on 40 the renewing of our mine, you know, what a distinction between Christianity and other religions that Christianity goes beyond a simple code of ethics is not just a list of rules and laws. It was follow its spiritual experiences with a living. This is a relationship a relationship with the Living God and there was this and rice read this article said she was leaving Christianity her reason why she refused to be Auntie gate anti-feminist anti-science in anti-democrat. I venture to say that Christian is not defined by Auntie anyting. All right, but it's defined by living vibrant personal relationship with the Living God, which I don't believe she actually had Cuz it's not about what we're gangsters who are for. I'm on the Lord's Side member when Elijah said who's on the Lord's Side who is on God's side. Come on over here. Let's prove who is the Living God? All right, it's not about we're not the fine by who are not or what we're against don't let that be your persona if you will see what I mean, but at the same time staying true to the biblical truth scripture we are for this relationship with the living vibrant and credible God. All right. The message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But God has made the foolishness of God has made foolish the wisdom of this world. This is 1st Corinthians. 1 starting over 18th. God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. Come on.

Let's look a little bit of rationalism versus the spirit true reality. Is that the physical world versus the true reality in the spiritual World reality is perceived through the Mind rationalism vs. Reality is perceived through the spirit. Okay, so rationalism vs. Spirit Brushless of my goal is to develop my mind, but in the spirit my goal is to develop my spirit. Is that true story for my husband again? Amazing guy. Love them. When the Holy Spirit came upon him one time. This is 94 95 96 run their the Lord literally flipped him upside down and he was standing on his head for 20 minutes. It is weird and I was like, are you okay and he's like, he was stuck you could move and finally when he came out of it. I said don't like what was what was that about? And he said the Lord spoke to me said down with the mind up with the spirit. And it was like a very dramatic like prophetic. I mean literally he was stuck he was against the wall, but he's upside down.

Like again, I'm not telling you to check your body to the brain. God wants to renew your mind. But if our mind is singularity leading we have a problem. The spirit must lead honestly sometimes like for trying to figure out God for trying to put them in a box and we're trying to say I can understand everything because I know I'll let you know. We got another thing coming my thoughts are not your thoughts as a lord the creator of the universe, you know, the galaxies and billions of stars and Isaiah 40. He stretches out the curtains of the heavens like a curtain he holds the waters in the palm of my hand After Fall by cross-eyed ocean tomorrow night. Let me tell you that's a lot of water he holds it in the palm of his hand. He's way bigger than we think. Alright brushless my live out of my mind My Mind Is Telling Me vs. It is I'm living at it with my spare to tell me my mind direct me through calculated cognitive analytical thoughts versus my spirit directs me through swamps spontaneous blowing thoughts that are placed in it by the spirit of God. So brushless in my mind is cultivating by using academic study versus my spirit is calculated by using a communication with God. Brushless in my direction is receipt for my mind's analysis of stored knowledge again. You you're not going to throw this out, but it shouldn't be the thing that totally dictates Our Lives versus direction is received my spirit by walking quietly upon the Lord waiting quietly upon the Lord waiting for him to inject my heart with thoughts burdens and visions.

A Christian who is only developed his mind flows with a knowledge of of of of logus alone versus a Christian has developed the spirit flows with the power of the spirit and is grounded in the knowledge of the Locust. My grandfather was a man of the word as matter fact. My memories of my grandfather is going to see him literally with whole walls taking up my bookshelves every type of concordance. You could ever think every type of version of the Bible every type of study guide or commentary. My grandfather never was filled with the spirit. He wasn't even mr. Nice guy my mother my grandmother was very sweet and loving I know prophetic per-pupil. I remember my husband having a debate one time with the prophetic guy who's known for prophecy. The only problem was. I remember when he said one time will the 4th trumpet in the Bible in the Book of Revelation that's already blown because in my dream last night, I heard the fourth trumpet blowing like You have no knowledge of the word of God if you're going to say that. Do you know what I'm saying? So here's the the spirit. What the hell did you know? I like that phrase. It's true that if we have the spirit without the word we will blow up and if we have the word like my grandfather without the spirit, we will dry up but we need the spirit and the word to grow up and that's exactly the prophecy from Smith Wigglesworth in your country in 1949. When he prophesied that the greatest Revival the world will see in the end times is a marriage of the spirit in the word bringing it together bringing it together. That's exactly what God is wanting. So in the whole area renew Vermont, it really super sonic Lee helps to tune in to hearing the voice of God. I want to go this quickly because you already know this the keys to hearing God Stillness number one quiet yourself so that you can hear God gets still turn off the TV or get still in your quiet time with the Lord. Just wait listen. Number to Vision look for vision as you prayed. Look look, where's where is Jesus our or picture in your mind if you want, but just look for vision expect something. Three spontaneity tune into a spontaneous flow God's voice often comes a thought switch a light upon your mind. This isn't hearing the still small voice of God or or the thoughts of God. And in the fourth key is journaling or write it down right down the flows in the pictures that come to you. So what we want to do church, we want to Dethrone the mind or rationalism and in Throne the spirit or Spirit control. We want to see the transformation and renewal of the Mind.

Just because I just feel like this is something that sadly societies seen them in the rise anxiety is more of a condition of the mind and depression is more addition of the emotions. Either way. They're very real and prevalent in the church Max Lucado. If you heard that name is at great author. He was speaking recently about the amount of anxiety and Society. Guess what? He said.
