Conflict Review
So before Father's Day, we were talking about some things you guys remember?
And before I go on I just want us to honor a man in the house if you lie and Leah, would you guys stand up? These guys are missionaries from Nicaragua and they are amazing. We just honored with the hand clap.
They weren't doing that teaching all week long and it was what I could catch was phenomenal my me and my wife we got some books of theirs. They're phenomenal team and they do really cool things in Nicaragua it like the dog bringing the gospel and discipling. So if you have a chance today talk with them. They're amazing.
To what we were teaching about was conflict. And who remembers some of the main points I said about conflict. There were four things that I was letting you guys know in your life that there are four rules.
This is what they are.
Number one. I don't care what relationship you get into where you're at. There's going to be conflict. You really don't like conflict, but it's going to happen. That's weather in a husband-and-wife setting weather in society weather in Ministry. Any relationship will at times have a sense of friction not because you wanted it's just because we're all unique different individuals. We all have our own Scopes that we see life through. From our past experiences and this sometimes will bring conflict out number to conflict is a broke is is a broken relationship. It's a break in a relationship.
Number 3 conflict is spiritual. The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh in. Oh you guys have this one? What what what do we wrestle against?
Oh, so you telling me you telling me this is not my problem then.
No. You told me Zach is in my profile. I have a problem. I mean people know it's not the person I'm fighting with. Sometimes we get it confused. We think humanistic. Let me say that again. The Bible says that the wisdom of this world is for sensual and demonic. We don't like to do or doing.
the wisdom of this world for sensual and demonic human Mystic reasoning is sensual for your senses and God labels it as You guys ready demonic because humanistic reason he will have you trying to create a villain and a victim that I don't know about you I love superheroes at but if we go to anime, I'm a definitely Goku all day Friday men, right? I got to witness put in in superhero Realms. There's always a bad guy when we get in the conflict. It's easy to point fingers and say they're the bad guy in this is what they did to me or she's the bad person, you know sometime in your life. God will allow you to sit next to sandpaper Susie and rough Rodger I don't know but you I probably would rather sit by 10 paper Susan and rough Rodger, but I don't have that and it's it always always always an opportunity.
Number for conflict is an opportunity. It is not something we have to change the way we view it. It is a opportunity. What is an opportunity to do? It's an opportunity to show grace and mercy and demonstrate Christ in you. Who is the hope of Glory any manifest attribute of God's that's not only Power for size wonders and miracles, but it's time that our character produces a sign Wonder in a miracle. But let me say it cuz it's easy for me to pray for the sick and and and it's and cast Devils out. I'm being honest with you. It's actually great school. How do I know it because Jesus said these things follow them that believe did you know, he didn't say your character? Maps
do this is going to be a sermon that cuz we got baptisms like I'm going to go for a moment. Right. So inches to lay hands on the cast that was out there laying hands on the sick. You'll raise the deck this week in New tongues. How many people you know, that's just Elementary School.
What is it Elementary School?
is character
character involves getting to the nitty-gritty of self and allowing Christ to Reign Over It it's getting to the end of you and saying Jesus. I don't like how I'm functioning because of my reasoning because of my heartache. So I need you to do something to my heart which will change my reasoning which will then change how I function.
Comfort is always an opportunity to manifest Christ. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I do good sometimes not so good. You been there you ever lost your temper. Come on, you ever said I wish I would have said that.
One thing that stays in my mind always about words cuz we're in a lot of a verbal Communicator. I process things verbally my wife she's internal. She's like, okay. I got a process. Give me a moment. Give me 5 minutes and my dad just never stops. You told me you were leaving in 5 minutes ago. I'm sorry. It's two hours later. What happened to talk about some very interesting involving the gospel and Jesus show. In that setting with me beautiful communicating processing that way it gives me an opportunity instead of conflict being bad. It's it gives me opportunities. Okay, honey, I want you to think about this and maybe and 25 minutes will come and chat about it. You see how that could have been, because I don't even know how I did it bad a couple times. I sit there and you're not even excited about what I'm talkin about spilling my guts and then you're getting annoyed with me cuz I won't shut up. You ever do that? Yeah, she still has I'm not alone.
To make Conflict for comfort is an opportunity to manifest Christ and serve one another cuz Jesus said by your love for one a day will know you are my come on man. That's how they know. Let's look at it again. And if that is true, then it's all about fulfilling the law of love with someone and saying this is conflict, but I'm going to change it to an opportunity. Man, you know, that's how business is a run.
This is a run over people have in Conflict cuz they see an opportunity. Your car breaks down conflict. mechanic opportunity write Nathan make some money on fixing cars.
It's an opportunity. You have to change the way you see in an order the change the way you see you have to change the way you think because as a man thinks in his. so is come on. I'm just laying precept upon precept for you.
We talked about the major conflicts. There are six major conflict that you can't escape. If you're in this world, you got the six conflicts got versus man, man versus himself Man versus man, man versus society man versus nature and man versus the Demonic. You can't escape those as long as you're living on Earth you're going to have that for God God sees conflict with man got this opportunity. Man sees a conflict with himself may need to see opportunity man having a conflict with man man in society opportunity and we're going to break through the next couple months. We're going to break down every one of those sections one by one and we're going to digest it slowly because Jesus said blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called what?
Could do no no, don't be so shy that you said it out loud. It's good just means scripture slow e.t. The children of God make peace. We don't keep these we make peace. Just come on now. You know it. Keeping peace means knowing nothing. Everything's fine. Nothing's wrong. I'm promise you this and this is how I'm going to promise you if you have a friendship that you never had some conflicts with it because someone suppressing stuff.
someone suppressing something
Because it comes out the funny thing is if it comes out in weird ways like Lorraine. Where's Randy. I was walking with the little one OK Google write like yeah, Randy write something that bothers you you should press it again. And then all the sudden you explode because he put the dish somewhere. It wasn't supposed to go. Are you really upset about the district what he did prior? Idaho stack is it inside? Right. We just pull it out. This is what you do.
A lot of times in relationships. That's what happens. That's why we got to speak the truth to one another in love. But I'm telling you even if that happens to the opportunity. It's an opportunity to grow. I can't tell you how many arguments and fights me and my wife has had in the past. Do we have as many now? No. Do we still get into space sometimes? Yep?
But guess what? We're normally where younger it took.
30 days
it wasn't fasting either.
Call Steve mobile.
Not talking to each other. You see the person?
What's the most uncomfortable place to be in it? I'm going for a walk. I'm going shopping. Whatever. Over time we learn that we can manage when we learn how to manage and understand each other cuz I want to tell you something people are not your problem.
Your spouse's in your problem. Your friend is your problem. The World Isn't your problem it has a problem, but it's not your problem. I'm just giving you some tip it's here. The reason why is because people see through broken lenses.
we all have Hertz that we have that we can remember
we all can remember maybe a friend that might have betrayed us you guys ever had that happen to you. Who said yes in the back? Who is that? that you Otherwise you, okay. Immediately. You can remember that can't you?
To you, I would have compassion on someone else who went through something similar.
Art experience in life and conflict is the built-in us compassion. How do I know it's true? I'm going to give you the biggest conflict ever. Christ Jesus hanging on the cross come on, they're mocking him. They already with him. He looks like ground beef. Seriously. It said he was marred more than any man because you can't even tell stupid. You couldn't even tell how this figured he was.
All you saw was ground beef. You didn't know it was male or female at that point. I said it just like that on purpose cuz he came to regenerate people who don't know what they are at some point.
And he's hanging there. and he said something father for they know not. compassion when you can hang and get crucified not fight back and say forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Come on, do you how many people know Peter knew what he was doing in Jesus still forgive them? Well, let's just take that too. It's not only father forgive them for they don't know what they do father forgive them when they do know what they're doing and still choose to do it. Is that okay with you guys?
The main one that we're going to focus on in the next week is Man versus God we talked about the major conflict was God it with man that was said and we talked about how God was the one to say I'm going to make peace. It was always God reaching out. It was God saying to follow me man said no. God gave this is Law and Order you guys want to follow me? Because if you do I'll make you a nation of priests and set you apart and then you'll lead the people who don't know me to me because they want to experience the life of God you guys have they failed miserably. so Jesus came Adele song is church. Say make peace. We're going to dive into that more next week. I'm going to tell you the three areas as individuals and as a community people have conflict with God number one, man versus the word of God. I said the order of God. You know you have conflict with that you're in conflict with the word. The Bible. yellow comforter Yellow Book You would you pick it up cuz it really say that yet says that. Open it. Again. It was really true it be in there twice.
The other one conflict with the spirit of God or don't grieve don't Quince people in conflict with the leading of God and then we'll talk about is Man versus the Church of God or can I say family of God we look at history is a persecution that is having to church because of man being at conflict as an individual. We can be a conflict with church. Sometimes it sometimes the individual's right? Sometimes it charges right? We're going to look at that, too. We got to know how to deal with it cuz I don't care what happens if Revival shows up tomorrow. It's as soon as the Jews and Ollie's. Guess what? What would you say? That's when the work starts Deliverance is easy. It's easy. You don't have to work for deliverance. Do you know that? What's harder walking in Freedom? To God showing up in the bunch of and miracles in Dracula show up and people are crying and it's not bones are coming everywhere and it's really good time and oh my goodness after work after that kind of lifts. Because it's easy to have a good character when you feel God steps. It's easy to have good character when you feel God.
It's harder when you don't feel him and you still walk like Jesus. And that's what he wants to bring us all to. It's amazing.
when In conflict with God or any of these areas ask God to reveal. Why and where are you hurting?
I need a helper real quickly. two helpers
I'm going to take one for me then pass.
What I did with their heading out to you guys on the back. There's a scripture and I use the TV TV version cuz I like what it said better. It's it in a way that was inviting the original version King James 20 search me God bless any perverse William your wicked way with the tvt says this. You're searching gaze into my heart examine me through and through why do everything that may be hidden within me put me to test and sift through all my anxious cares see if there is any path of pain. I'm walking and Lead me back to your glorious Everlasting way the path that brings me back to you.
But if you see we have boxes here, this is how you resolved some conflict with. So when you guys got some conflict with God and I'm going to show you how to resolve it. The topic is always going to be the what it's what am I even upset about what what what what happened or it's just a subject because sometimes in Conflict you lose side of the subject.
You're in a conflict like me and my wife are consecrate. Hi, sweetie. She just showed up at the right time. And next thing, you know, we're arguing over the coffee cup and that's silly in that. Do no no no no chip my two sons Jackson KY. The plane downstairs and so, why has a T-Rex in a shark and Jackson's playing with his other T-Rex sokai sokai my T-rex killed the shark in Jackson's like but I want to play with the shark now it's dead.
Justice League, but I want to play with you right now cuz it's dead Jackson.
I like to hit him because he wanted to play with the shark and I told him it was dead.
I thought you said you guys got in a fight over.
In that silly.
Play think about this we adults are the same way.
It's always about what are you the topic and then the next thing I want you to write is what I want to do, but you got to be honest with yourself because let me tell you something to be honest with you know, where the Bible says. The heart is deceitful among all else. Do you know why because we're not honest with myself will lie to ourselves and we won't be real basketball. What I want to do second. I want you guys to go to the word of God and see what the Bible has to say about it then write that down and you may not like what the Bible say about it, but the Bible session after that I want you to write what you believe. Holy spirit is saying to you about it, you know when you don't want to do right? You really don't want to hear what God has to say about it. You you ever been angry, you know that that the journalist starts kicking in and you your blood pressure goes up a little bit your heart starts. And now you have this imaginary argument going on in your head.
I really want to hear what God has to say about it, but I'm going to tell you that's when you need to say, holy spirit. What do you want to say about this? It's humbling. The Bible says humble yourself in the sight of God, and he'll do what? A lot of people think that's promotion to another position, but I want to save lift you up in your spirit your soft give you a clearer picture and understand each other ways of God. I mean it's better than any promotion in it and it when God lets you up and now you can see through a list of compassion and not through a lens of her J.
It's how is my heart feeling like the thing you want to do? You got a Scott. How's my heart feel? How am I really feel in my heart and write it down here. I feel hurt. I feel angry or any of those days. I feel rejected.
Then right have I felt or experienced this before.
And then you ask God what do you want me to know about this?
And now you get to the last box and where you say. What am I going to do now? You're getting baptized. Please get ready. Get Ready Get Ready Get Ready on Chucky
But that's what you have to do when you're in concert with the word and what God saying, you got to ask yourself these cuz you know, the enemy never wants you to ask questions.
to God he wants you to question is God good, but he never really wants you to get in the conversation with god. You guys understand what I'm saying? Maybe your struggle. Isn't that maybe maybe you're struggling in an area? I can't talk about drugs. baby, my struggles drugs, right and maybe the topic is hot or let's do something harder. cocaine
and then I can ask what's up? What do you want to do? I want to snort cocaine. What is the Bible say don't snort cocaine.
Ember Street and Henry have chapter 1
Oh good.
What is the holy spirit say to me? If you snort the cocaine you're going to feel guilty afterwards is just better not have last time you sent. It didn't work out good for you about a siren's prison.
How's my heart feeling? I'm overwhelmed and anxious. I feel abandoned. Cuz I felt this way before. Yeah that last break of I had really let me feel this way in the words that were said.
God what do you want me to know about this?
I think I started doing things to you and you can get begin to experience his love in those areas. And next minute, you know, the whole desire to snort cocaine was based off of a bad experience. You had that's been haunting and tormenting you. Come on.
And now it's an opportunity to see what am I going to do now? This is how you work that this is just a tool want to give you guys. The help because sometimes I listen I may be a pastor, but just guess what since I'm in conflict with Papa and Papa still straighten me out till someone earlier Lucy my soul. My spirit is so good and clean, but my soul the Lord's working on me, praise God. Cuz he wasn't have you questioning. Why am I up here? Who is the hell?
I do want to give you guys a scripture and when you examine yourself somewhat you to follow along here. This is what the tvl it says. Oh lord. It's in Psalms 139. We're going to read verse one through seven. Oh Lord, you have examined my heart and you know everything about me. you know when I sit or stand when when when far away, you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Do you know something I'm going to tell you guys this rest is a command from Papa.
That's not a reason to get laid. I see you tomorrow. I'm just going to be late.
The command because when you're not resting I just want to point this out when you don't get adequate amounts of rest, it brings stress and sickness and all this other stuff on you, okay? Just want to tell you got to do is important that you get rest.
Every moment, you know where I am. You know what? I'm going to say before I say it. You both proceed and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head. This is too glorious too. Wonderful to believe. I can never be lost to your spirit. I can never get away from my God.
I'm telling you guys a scripture because the storm is he's riding. He says God already knows everything about me. Anyway, I might as well just get real with them. But I'm going to tell you the truth. Would rather have you yelling and screaming at him and not talking to him at all. I would rather have my child. Zoe scream at me then break a relationship in there with nothing to do with me.
It's kind of tough, isn't it?
But Jackson this morning was funny Marian was calling him come upstairs to get him ready, and he's not in here. So I'm telling them. I like Jackson. Mom said go search. I don't want you.
upstairs door slam
don't fit in my head like I love you.
But I'd rather have that than a strange child with no relationship. God would rather have you being real honest and wrong with him then never talked into him never communicating. You got him angry at you right now you rather have that than you just don't walk and not say nothing because that communication means your heart still soft. Oh snaps. That means your heart is still soft toward him and that's a good thing.
Peter disappointed with God I'd rather have you tell me what I'm disappointed with you. I've never talked to him. So I'm telling you he knows you he knows you in and out through and through until when you're using this get real with them. If you want to use it when you're when you're by yourself or with a team do it get real because it's until you choose to be real you can't get healed.
It's when you're real. That real things can happen, hahaha.
When you're not real that real things can happen if you're hurting you just be like dude. I'm hurt. That is the way that God expected his people to walk and function. We're not saying that nothing bothers us we're saying when it does we know how to overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of Our Testimony and we love our lives.
I'll be overcome by the blood of the Lamb that finish work of Christ. And what the word of Our Testimony what Christ did for me and how because I've been crucified with him. This life is no longer. Mine that is and even when I struggle with that concept, I still submit myself under his hand. Probably talk about conflict. I hope you guys are ready for this. But now we're going to really just want you guys to give a hand clap for someone getting baptized.
What you got going to give her a high-five go for it? She is saying today. I want to get baptized. I want to make an outward Declaration of I am choosing to follow Jesus. That is amazing.
proud of you Would you like to share a little bit?
So I was around 12 when I gave Jesus my heart but for a long time, I wasn't living it at all. But in the last few years has really been working in me and teach me what it is truly follow him and live for him and Jesus has set an example than getting baptized and I chosen to follow that in front of my life to him. So I'm here.
One person with pets one person. There's a party in heaven heaven is rejoicing all my goodness.

baptism is an outward expression of what God has done in word in your heart. So have you all been saved?
Do you all believe that Jesus is the son of God? Do you believe he died? Gyros again and have you asked him to enter into your heart and life and bring transformation?
And you want to get baptized? I must warn you people absolutely.
that Is symbolic of this a heart?
I'm excited that you don't want to get baptized today, and we're going to baptize you. So what I want you to state your name, and I want want you to declare out in front of everyone that I can be.
Hi, I'm Wayne's father. I believe in Jesus Christ as our savior.
And 1000 hours on me. I never believe in Jesus Christ as my savior. And I ain't over and I believe in him. That amazing.
and I am.
I want to hear that you're at work with the first thing that I do so probably thinking never look like I know that Jesus Is My Savior and he has saved me and I'm blessed for that. So, thank you.
I am Carey Robinson and I start believing in Jesus when I was when we started coming here and at our other churches.
Before we baptized if you want to say something. I want to let the church know something. She came up to you probably see could I get baptized this day we didn't have no baptisms land. But just because she wanted to follow Jesus look at the ripple effect. When you choose to follow Jesus in an area of your life, there's going to be a ripple effect that takes place that will affect other lives. I want to encourage the church to continue to follow Jesus if you guys want to come up and watch your more than free and welcome to come up out of your seats and watch cuz this is a family thing.
