The Adventure Journey to Freedom
last week how many people last week? Thanks.
So it was quite an adventure for me. Let me know if you guys are still overwhelmed by God that it just made Joy just rush out of you and you couldn't control it. That's what being drunk in the spirit as you heard me say I'm drunk It's because I got so overwhelmed by the spirit of God that Joy was radiating out of me and I probably look like a person who's drinking some hard liquor. Well, thank God.
The spirit likes to manifest himself in multiple ways what ways are the moments that I worship the Virgin can have this all and reverence over us when we won't want to move or anything. You don't want to talk. We just want to be still and know that a yes. There's another one called Joy. It's some reason you're just laughing and it's from God. I remember the first time that happened to me, but I can recall I was me and my wife we were beginning to train up. A lot of makes Amish people and then me and her house for Bible study. Now listen, if you know anything about the Amish culture, they don't pray out loud. For them to play out loud me they broke through a barrier and they never prayed out loud or Bible study then one day. We came and I said, okay guys, let's pray and they started the pray out loud. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. There's liberty. I just couldn't help with start laughing and it came out of my belly and it was a belly laugh and I just kept laughing.
Being overwhelmed by in the scripture says for the kingdom of God is nor meat nor drink, but righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Will do you remember about our adventure that we talked about I got to click to show you guys.
If you want to know the name of that movie is called Lord of the Rings by one of my favorites by Tolkien. And this was the beginning. His first book was about the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring where they were getting ready to embark on an adventure a journey that was just like mad talking about it on paper is one thing actually implemented a completely different. Do you ever notice how scripture is? When you open up the Bible talking about it is one thing but understanding how to implement. It is completely different. It's like how does this actually work in my life? How does his actually happen. I don't got it figured out but last week we talked about Roman 7 vs. I want and I have But this week we're going to talk about something completely different. We going to move forward. We're going to find ourselves in Romans 8. So if you have your bottles turn the Romans 8. I'm going to start there. I'm reading out the Amplified version today. This is there is now no condemnation Noah judging guilty or wrong for those who are in Christ Jesus who live in of the Flesh of the spirit. Tell me your version. You might need to have that other part in their walk after this after the flesh, but after the spirit and some translations, they took that out. But if you're going to walk in the spirit condemnation, you're not going to live in condemnation or the reference scripture is John 3:18. Everyone knows John 3:16.
the world damned guilty He's looking at each and every one of us and accept it love receive.
Jesus is always looking at a saying you're accepted your love that will you receive it? And if you will receive that you won't live in, that's when you start but continue going. What the law cannot do its power of man without the Holy Spirit has its own son of simple flesh and offering for sin sin in the flesh subdued overcame deprived it of its power over all who accept the sacrifice and is found in Leviticus a reference scripture for this is a 737 demolish.
You know Jesus like the first Terminator terminated said and he said that he said I'll be back.
But he said he got rid of it. Power said you don't have to you don't have to let your sensual desires that you feel control you any longer our abiding in us being the Holy Spirit. But have you connected with him?
How do you connect with the spirit?
Pacific two questions that come with that How do I connect with the spirit? And how do I let him guide me?
I want you to ask yourself those questions. I want you think about this during the week. How do I connect with the holy spirit because he's a person.
Sometimes we we think that he's this Force anybody familiar with Star Wars Star Wars.
Which sometimes just like the force and invisible energy? Do you know impersonal that is to treat the Holy Spirit like that. He is a person he has emotions. Do not grieve the spirit. Do not quench the spirit of the word of God. He wants to bring up truth to you not only truth in scripture, but truth in your day in the very moment.
Continuances so the righteous and just requirement of the law might be fully met in us and moved the ways of the flesh are live Governor control by the holy spirit for someone to be completely possessed by the Holy Ghost.
That's really what I said. How many people like
Come on. Okay. someone going crazy and everything else You know it by the Holy Ghost looks like it looks like Jesus.
Who was the man led by the spirit of God he was God, but he didn't nothing in his own strength. But he did it as a man submitted to God. And was led by that's what it looks like. And Jesus says follow me imitate me. Is that a scripture? Paul Wright 17c imitate me as I imitate Christ
continuing in our control its Unholy desire set their mind on a suit in our control find on these days with the Holy Spirit.
Open I want to go to the edge Venture. I put it off I was saying no, I didn't want to go there.
Because it's easy to stand in your comfort zone. It's easy to stay surrounded by The Familiar. It's totally not easy to go into something unfamiliar and walk through it with peace. Maybe in here today.
But I really need to connect with God cuz I really need peace because when I have peas that's what understanding comes but I have to get peace first because his peace that surpasses understanding. So once you gain the peace in the store. Can begin to bring you understanding because you're not seeking it in your own strength. What the scripture says you'll set those mine those who set their minds on the flash. They set themselves on what feels good. What's comfortable.
Isn't the following scripture says that's not the mind of the flesh which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit.
The mind of the flesh is reasoning without God. When you're figuring trying to figure things out how many men in here we we try to figure things out. Get get something in the Box. We don't read the directions out figure it out. Come on, come on. directions to work
and then all the sudden we try to put this thing together and now we're six hours. Please send out what it took 2 hours. I've been there. When was it? Why didn't you eat the dress that I didn't need them. I got my tools.
That's reason it without the directions. Do we do that with golf? reasoning without his Direction Without what you say? Will continue to go on and it does its death that that comprises all the misery arising from said both here and Hereafter, but the mind of the holy spirit is life Soul both now and forever.
Some people are looking for peace. But are you reasoning in God with God in from God? Do you have your mind set on how this is going to make you feel how was going to how it's going to affect your life or is your mind set on what does God want? How does God feel? How's it going to affect him? As long as you reason from the place of the flesh you're going to be full of distress.
Try to be like God. Why isn't it? I feel like it's just slipping out of my head.
I did that before.
I've been looking for a reason. So instead of blaming yourself you play that other people. How many people did that before? It's now. Jesus said why would you worry about a splitter and I'm paraphrasing in someone else's eye when you have a beam to buy for sticking out of your own. First kicker to buy for out of the way. and then maybe you can see correctly to get a pair of a tweezers to pull out your brother's splinter
that is because the mind of the flesh with his Cardinal thoughts and purposes hostile. I love that word Hospital hostile towards you. the number to
I want to pull out your crucifix and stick back. I can understand your reasoning in your flesh. You're mine said you're being with hostility towards the spirit of God and the scriptures. Did you know that someone would try to tell you something that the scriptures? I don't want to hear that come on. We don't want I'm not going there. Because it offends the cardinality of the Mind. It offends it.
and it also says the word if your flesh if your tortellini is hostile to God that means It doesn't want to submit. It doesn't want to follow it. Only wants to fight.
It's like watching two wrestlers in the ring and I'm talking about WWE and we go in and made they don't have a much of the show. It's just getting the ring and fight but WWE that each other. I grew up watching it with my granddad. I love it.
What day does dream in a jar then finally end up fighting and then finally when somebody has to submit let me tell you I guess the spirit of God and somewhere you're going to either submit to him or submit to your flesh. Middle Ground here because Jesus said if you're lukewarm.
Who spew you out? But you got to pick your side. Which one do you want to be?
And it says this submit itself to God's law and it cannot. You can try you can try.
Picture right there and freed up all that stuff. Listen, you can muzzle a dog that wants to bite you and it still wants to bite you.
Just can't get to you. Still wants to bite you still wants to go out. You still want to attack?
So that's not the answer what that muzzle represents religion.
It represents our programs try to operate within the program. So we don't have to rely on the spirit sing Frank Sinatra. I Did It My Way?
and we didn't know where And how do you know it's true because ask yourself. Are you still dealing with the problem that you were dealing with 5 years ago?
That's a really good quite where did that I ask myself. Am I still dealing with this problem though is I like to journal some things down. So I have a phone that allows me to write and I look back and see if I'm still dealing with 5 years from now.
Simple because where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. Eddie wants to lead me to Freedom. Catering to the appetizers in the Cardinal nature cannot please or set or be acceptable.
How the hell they put catering. Can you pop that? I love the colorful language that the Amplified gives cuz I'm a colorful man.
Catering. Do you know what that means? That means I'm serving My Flesh. It means that I'm presenting things from my flesh so it can live in
How many people live there? We can we call it our pet and then we go to people say when everyone got something don't tell me you're all squeaky clean. He said he's coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Who's who's using the right? dewrinkler in their laundry Who's Justin the right one?
But you are not living the life of the flesh. You're living the life of the spirit and the Holy Spirit of God really dwells within your within you direct and controls you but if anyone does not possess the Holy Spirit of Christ, he is none of his he does not belong to Christ. It is not he is not truly a child of God if you want to look for a reference scripture that Romans 8:14. But if Christ lives in you, then although your natural body is dead by reason of setting guilt. The spirit is alive because of the righteousness that he imputes to you that word imputed means he he puts it on your account. That's why when you received him you got made right with God yourself into deception.
I'm so big people free. If you disagree with what God says about you, it would set you free from the way you view yourself and if you can get free from the way you view yourself you can be free to view people rightly.
But you have to reason in yourself that your body is dead. So when you fill it and pulse of your flesh. You have to do have to agree with truth and say that's no longer me. Because I died. And he lives in me. Is that a scripture sounds like Galatians 2:20? You must find your reasoning in truth. It must be so much in truth that naturally sets you free when you think about it, and then you give other people the same truth because truth is consistent. How do I know it's true with Jesus consisted in all things. In Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Last picture we're going to be today. And if the spirit of a raised Jesus from the dead dwells in your mortal perishable bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you if you begin to agree with God and allow his Spirit when you go to raise you back up here.
God's going to give us a new body for were called to Stewart something here recalled the Stewart our soul. How many people know of Todd's your life you just need a you just need a reset?
need to reset the scripture says set your mind on things above and not below how many people sometimes get caught up. Swelling on things below. Cuz you're like it's in front of my face daily. I get it. It's pulling me it's really messing with my emotional. And when it starts really get my emotional emotions involved in my thought process it really begins to validate it even if it's a lie.
I'm going to teach you how to reset S7. It's it acknowledging the struggle is real struggle out there. I don't do Romans 8 identify the answer. how to get past the struggle
reset is actually an acronym for remember truth when you find yourself. Indy's Auto Parts in pass in Cycles. I want you to do something. Remember truth. Remember remember what the Bible says remember what God has spoken to you and your prayer closet begin to bring those things up meditate on the word find scripture and meditate on it until you see yourself living in the scripture and you see that scripture becoming Who You Are The next one is exterminate Lies when you begin to remember truth, but lies that you believe I want you to write down make a call and write down what you believe and write down what the Bible says. You can distinguish between the two because the word is sharp as a sword and it wants you to separate the things of the spirit from the things of the Soul be in the flesh. You're so being driven by your foot and it's going to a Sting with lies. You want to know how to get rid of roof identify the roots a lot of times. We looked at behavior of people.
And that's when it speak it out loud. The Bible says life and death is in the power of the tongue. Begin to see the troops remember truth scripture and what he says to believe now, you need to speak it out.
Choose you this day whom you're going to serve choose today to do that with your self. Love yourself enough to do it. Love yourself enough to give yourself a reset. Because God did. He loves you so much. He gave his only begotten son that if you would believe in him you wouldn't care if you have everlasting life requirements that are against you and you and youuuu his acceptance.
What you up to begin to speak it out. How do I know? It's true as this if you confess with your
Wow.
He must be some powerful about me speaking something out. And I do begin to speak it out. I just don't want you to quote scripture over yourself. I don't want you to take a scripture and say.
Don't just put it that way because you speak it out to make this thing personal self. Also prophesied over yourself find the scripture. Where it says this place has is the best in the seat of the scornful tree planted by the rivers of water that bring forth fruit in its season his leash and not with her.
Best we speak it out the word. I'm beginning to speak it out. And then when I turn the word into prophecy is not in the counsel of the ungodly.
This is what I'm saying to myself. This is what I'm declaring over myself. This is how I'm encouraging myself.
Do not let it be when you're going to a distraught moment is when you figure out how to encourage yourself. Do it before you circumstance. That is undesirable. The Bible says rain falls on the just and the unjust.
Because if you don't you're going to get caught in the rain you're going to get wet again. How many times when we we fail and we don't want to try again 50 times the Bible says a righteous man falls seven times, but he does something he tries again. He gets back up. It doesn't give up.
You have to continually try the Bible says don't grow weary in doing well.
Just because you're going to reap a harvest if you don't grow weary. You're going to reap more than what you thought. How many people say I need to reset? I really need a reset at I want you guys to remember this. Did you guys write that down? Remember this remember? exterminate loss You got to do that the first step you got to remember you got to exterminate the lies. You got to speak out to encourage yourself and you got to try again. Try again, cuz you're not a failure. You're not a loser. You're not a failure. You're not worthless. Jesus isn't saying none of that over you. Who are you listening to? And who are you hearing from? Are you hearing from people how people View and see you and think about you or your hearing from God for what he thinks about you you can say well listen to have you got understand for 20 years of my life. People called me this and I'm going to tell you a moment with God can erase 20 years. that mended one moment with God one touch of the Hem of His Garment restored a woman who had seven years montage. One night with the King can can restore things will you let him restore you today? Give you a fresh start. God reset things in your life. Cuz he wants he has the best for you. Jeremiah 29:11 I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you not harm you plans to give you a future that means an expected in.
Please bow your heads.
Jesus is that you reveal the areas in our lives in our hearts that we need to reset at show us on things above but none below but reveal those Cycles to the enemy likes to work in to cause confusion in our lives to help us to recognize it then help us to recognize you. Hope submit to you in all things and all areas of Our Lives. Whatever you get is bald.
If you don't have a relationship with Jesus and you don't know the Lord, you never ever gave your life to him and ask him to be your lord and savior. Put your hands in the air. fiery eyes closed and Head is by
we just thank you now. We thank you for your word. We have said you make it alive in us and we ask that you so practice this week. It was more of a hunger for you. Give us more of a thirst for righteousness in Jesus. Mighty name. Hey, man.
Hey guys. I love you all. God bless
