Luke 2:13-14
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
I need to make a statement and to those who have a ear to hear and a eye to see let them hear the truth of God’s word and let the truth bring transformation and change so that the lie is revealed and stripped of its power, so that partial truth can be brought to accountability and destroyed in the life of the child of God
They that have a ear to hear and a eye to see let them see that the doctrine that so many of Gods children adhere to is not working and allow him to see why it is not working
For the most part the sick are not being healed
The lame are not walking, the blind are not seeing and the deaf are not hearing
The child of God does not walk free from condemnation and guilt. They do not walk in the abundance and worthiness as a partaker of the glory of Christ,
They do not know the privilege and honor that is associated with the place of being born again.
And the reason is that these things are not taking place in the lives of Gods people is because of what they believe.
Hear the word of God in Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The word of God tells us that these signs shall follow them that believe, so if you believe right, if what you are believing is the truth of God’s word then when you pray, whatsoever you ask for in the name of Jesus the Father will give it to you.
And we as children of God should be seeing the results and the fruit of the truth that we believe.
But that is not reality in the life of the majority of God’s children
Why?
Because as a man so thinks in his heart so he is
Prov 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Here is revelation,
The way that you are is because of the way that you think. I am amazed at the group of Gods people who do not like the way that they are and yet they do not realize that the change that they desire to take place in there lives is not about changing there actions but about changing there minds, their thinking.
Now look at Luke 2:8-14 again
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
To most people these scriptures are associated with a specific time of the year and the tragedy is that we do not understand the truth that is really being proclaimed to the world and to the child of God.
Most people believe that this scripture is proclaiming peace and goodwill among men, most people believe that the angels are proclaiming peace and goodwill among men on the earth because Christ is being born, and that Christ was coming to bring peace among men.
That is a false hood being taught by religion.
And allow me to make one further statement, for the most part this scripture is used only to bring forth a mood and the mood that the church is trying to produce is goodwill and peace around Christmas time
So let’s find truth because truth will make you free
Matt 10:34-37
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
The words of Christ are very plain, if you think that I have come to send peace on the earth,
It is not peace that I bring to this earth but a sword
I have not come to end wars and rumors of wars
I have not come to end divisions and strife and separations among men
I have not come to bring peace but a sword
VERSE 35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Luke 12:49-53
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Religion teaches that Christ came to bring peace among people and that is not true
It is true that peace is a benefit of accepting Christ as your Savior, it is true that if you accept the Prince of Peace as your Savior it allows you to turn the other cheek, it allows you to walk in the presence of peace in the midst of turmoil and persecution and allows you to walk in love like you have never experienced before.
So yes there is a tremendous amount of peace that has come as a by product to them who have accepted Christ as there Savior and Lord but Christ did not come to this earth to bring peace among men.
So what is the message that the angels are bringing forth
Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The message that is being proclaimed by the angels is Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men
And the message is from God
This is God proclaiming to man that his wrath is to be satisfied
His judgment is to be appeased
That His relationship with his creation man is being brought to a place of peace and goodwill.
Hear me
Before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the relationship that God had with man his creation with the exception of a few who had entered into intimacy was wrath,
Wrath was the dominate relationship.
The reason that the relationship between God and man was about wrath was because of sin and rebellion, it was because sin and rebellion lived and reigned within the lives of men and because of sin that relationship was about wrath and fear.
Very few people have grasped the revelation between the Old Testament and the New Testament
In the Old Testament the wrath and the judgment of God
In the New Testament the grace and mercy of God
In the New Testament peace and goodwill has been established between God and man.
The conflict has ended
Christ ended the conflict between God and man
Jesus brought forth peace,
The wrath of God was satisfied with the crucifixion of the Son of God.
Isa 53:8-11
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied : by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied
God is satisfied
And the church today is still proclaiming and teaching that God is still angry
That the wrath of God is still present concerning our sins and our transgressions
They still think that there is a conflict
They still think that God is unsatisfied; they still think that God is angry
They still view Him as a God who is vengeful, who is jealous and who still brings forth punishment and judgment to His creation
They still think that God is a vengeful and jealous God that brings forth punishment and judgment to His creation.
Preachers are preaching and the children of God are believing that the hurricanes and the tsunamis, the fires and the droughts, the tornadoes are all coming from God
The multitudes of babies and children who are being destroyed in all of these disasters are the wrath of God.
That all of the devastation that is taking place world wide is the wrath of God coming upon a godless world
There are preachers teaching that the judgments and the wrath of God are coming upon America because of her sins, there are people who believe that the 9-11 attack on the twin towers was God lifting his mercy and grace and His judgments’ have begun.
There are people who are literally interceding for the evilness of America and they believe that they are standing in the gap to turn away the wrath of God
They believe America is doomed, they believe God is holding America over hell by a slim thread
They believe that America is close to being turned over for the destruction of the devil
They pray
They fast
They intercede and they do it all according to Old Testament mentality.
The message of the New Testament is peace goodwill towards man from God
The conflict has ended
God has been satisfied and Christ has a bride
The angels in the book of Luke understood the message that they were giving
That Christ came to redeem us, that Christ came to buy back the relationship that existed between the creator and his creation that existed in the Garden of Eden
The angels understood that Christ came to pay the price
To stop the wrath of God because of sin and the New Testament church ought to be proclaiming the to good to be true news that the Lord Jesus Christ has paid the price and you are not going to get what you really deserve
The price has been paid and God is not angry
He is satisfied and has extended to you mercy and grace and desires intimacy with you through his Son
For the most part this is not the message that is being preached by the church
Rom 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
What is it that according to the word of God leads to repentance; it is the goodness of God, the riches of His goodness, the riches of His long suffering, His forbearance.
This is the message of the angels
Christ has changed how God deals with his creation
2 Cor 5:17-18
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Who has reconciled us to himself by Christ?
The word reconcile means to bring back into friendship after estrangement, after separation, to bring back into harmony, to establish intimacy.
He has reconciled us to himself through the Lord Jesus Christ
2 Cor 5:18
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
He has given unto us the ministry of friendliness, of bringing people back into harmony with God
I need to say this
God is not mad at you and Christians struggle with this
Allow me to go even one step farther, God is not upset or mad at the unbeliever either
God is not upset with America and he is not going to judge America at least not until the Great Tribulation
And some one is going to say I do not believe that you just said that
You do not believe that America is corrupt; you do not believe that America is evil; you do not believe that America is an abomination
Yes I do believe those things, I believe that America is just as corrupt as Sodom and Gomorra was but I do not believe that God is going to judge America for her sins
I used to preach that if God does not judge America He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorra
But let me tell you something
If God does judge America he will have to apologize to Jesus
Why?
Because Jesus took the wrath of God for man
In penalty, in judgment, in sickness, in deliverance, in forgiveness, in every aspect and God was satisfied
Jesus came and fulfilled the law
This is the message of the angels
Glory to God in the highest
The conflict has ended
The anger and the wrath of God has been satisfied
There is peace and goodwill between God and man
For unto you this day a Savior as been born
I need to address this
2 Cor 5:18
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
All men are not reconciled to God but God is reconciled to all man, He is friendly towards all men.
Why? Because Christ hung between heaven and hell on an old rugged cross and reconciled us back to God.
We who were estranged were brought back into fellowship and all that remains for that fellowship to become fruitful is to believe through grace by faith and to confess that he is Lord
The conflict has ended and God is satisfied.

YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
I HAVE FELT IN THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT I HAVE NEEDED TO BRING ATTENTION AND INSTRUCTION TO HAVING OUR LIVES DIRECTED THROUGH THE UNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
LAST WEEK I BEGAN SHARING WITH YOU HOW THAT THERE ARE MULTIUTUDES OF GOD’S PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER
PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER NOT BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND WHAT I WANT TO BRING FORTH IN THESE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IS HOW TO HEAR THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW TO BE LED AND HOW TO OPERATE IN THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
HOW TO BEGIN HAVING YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
TURN TO
1 Peter 1:8
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
THE SCRIPTURES SPEAK ABOUT REJOICING WITH JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY AND YET MANY OF GODS CHILDREN ARE SURROUNDED BY DEPRESSION, DISCOURAGEMENT, SADNESS AND DISPAIR
HOW DO WE WALK IN THIS JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY
LAST WEEK I TOLD YOU THAT CHRISTIANITY MAKES TWO DEMANDS
#1 YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
#2 YOU MUST BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
WHEN THESE TWO THINGS HAVE TAKEN PLACE THEN COMES THE INSTRUCTION TO WALK AND TO BE LED BY WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH
I KNOW MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY ARE NOT WALKING IN THE BENEFIT OF ALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM
AND SOME ONE IS GOING TO SAY YES BUT THEY SPEAK IN TONGUES AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT TONGUES CAN BE SPOKEN IN THE FLESH
AS DIFFICULT AS THAT IS TO BELIEVE IT IS TRUE
IN FACT TONGUES CAN BE SPOKEN WITHOUT LOVE AND THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS
1 Cor 13:1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
LAST WEEK I SHOWED YOU WHAT SPEAKING IN TONGUES IN THE SPIRIT DOES FOR YOU
LISTEN TO ISAIAH
Isa 28:11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING IN TONGUES REFRESHES YOU AND CAUSES THE WEARY TO HAVE REST
THE SECOND THING THAT IT DOES IS THAT IT EDIFIES YOU
1 Cor 14:4
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;
THE THIRD THING THAT IT DOES IS THAT IT BUILDS UP YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH
Jude 20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith , praying in the Holy Ghost,
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FAITH THAT YOU CAN WALK IN
VERSE 21
Jude 21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES KEEPS YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD
IT KEEPS YOU LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
PRAYING IN TONGUES REFRESHES YOU
IT CAUSES WEARINESS TO LEAVE
IT EDIFIES YOU
IT PROMOTES SPIRITUAL GROWTH
IT BUILDS YOU UP
IT TAKES YOU TO YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH
IT KEEPS YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD
WHY IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN
LOOK AT OUR OPENING SCRIPTURE
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH
NOTICE WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH AND THEN IT SAYS IN I CORINTHIANS THAT HE COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATIONS
2 Cor 1:4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
SO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL TRIBULATIONS
NOTICE THE WORDS------ALL OF OUR TRIBULATION
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS
THERE ARE NO HIDDEN DEALS
HE IS HERE TO LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND HE IS HERE TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL OF YOUR TRIBULATIONS
NOW IF THE DEVIL CAN CONVINCE YOU THAT YOUR SITUATION IS DIFFERENT
THAT YOUR SITUATION IS UNIQUE
THAT YOUR DEAL IS DIFFERENT THAN EVERY ONE ELSE
THEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND TRUTH AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMFORTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMFORT ANY ONE ELSE
Isa 28:11 TELLS US THAT THIS IS THE REST AND THE REFRESHING THAT GOD WANTS TO GIVE TO US
TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THEY NEED TO GET FILLED AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FILLED THEY NEED TO STIR UP THE GIFT THAT IS INSIDE OF THEM
2 Tim 1:6
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY ARE DISCOURAGED
THEY ARE DEPRESSED
THEY WALK AROUND UNHAPPY DESDONDANT
THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN SENT TO GIVE YOU ALL TRUTH
TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL TROUBLES
HE IS SENT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO BUILD YOU UP
AND THEN THE WORD OF GOD TELLS YOU THAT THE REST AND THE REFRESHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
THESE SCRIPTURES REVEAL TO YOU THE TREMENDOUS POWER AND COMFORT THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU
THESE SCRIPTURES REVEAL TO YOU THE BENEFITS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE HE LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
AND WHEN WE HAVE THIS AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IT IS LIKE HAVING IT ALL AND THEN USING NOTHING
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS A LARGE PART OF MY LIFE
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE REST AND REFRESHING THAT GOD GIVES TO GIVE THAT JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY
WHAT EVER YOUR PROBLEM IS
IF YOU ARE REALLY WANTING TO HEAR FROM GOD ONE WORD FROM GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM
LET ME USE FIANCES AND I USE FINANCES BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE UNDERSTANDING CAN RELATE TO FINANCES
IF YOU HAVE A FINANCIAL PROBLEM
ONE WORD FROM GOD
I MEAN ONE WORD FROM GOD AND THAT ONE WORD BRINGS REVELATION
THE REVELATION OF WHO YOU NEED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH
THE REVELATION OF SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
THE REVELATION OF AN IDEA
THE REVELATION OF HIS WORD CONCERNING FINANCES AND THE APPLICATION OF THAT REVELATION
LET ME BRING TO YOU REVELATION
Matt 17:25
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GOD KNOWS WHICH FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH
NOT EVERY FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH BUT GOD KNOWS WHICH ONE’S DO
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF MONEY REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HEAR ON NBC OR ABC
THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THAT FACT IS REALITY ACCORDING TO THE MONEY THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO GO IN DEBT
PEOPLE ARE BOUND BY WHAT THEY HEAR ABOUT HOW MUCH GAS IS
ABOUT THE RECESSION THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN
BUT HERE IS REALITY
NOT EVERY ONE IS GOING THROUGH A RECESSION
NOT EVERY ONE IS AFFECTED BY THE PRICE OF GAS
NOT EVERY ONE IS EFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF JOBS
THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THERE ARE ALSO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT GOD SUPPLIES ALL THEIR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
SO HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER BAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HAS CALLED US TO WHAT
GLORY
AGAIN
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I HAVE ONLY TAKEN ONE ASPECT OF SALVATION WHICH IS PROSPERITY AND I AM SHOWING YOU SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE IF YOU HAVE A HEART TO BELIEVE
IS IT TRUE OR NOT TRUE
MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL MY NEED
THAT WORD NEED IN THE GREEK IS CHREIA AND IT MEANS ALL OF YOUR BUSINESS
ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT
ALL OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS
ALL OF YOUR AFFAIRS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS
IS IT TRUE OR NOT
IT IS TRUE ACCORDING TO WHAT
TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HE HAS CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE
LET ME BRING SOMETHING TO YOU
WE TALK ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS BEING 2.50
3.00 AND EVEN 3.50 LETS GO TO 4.00 AND WE ARE TREMENDOUSLY UPSET BY THAT PRICE
AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN GREAT BRITIAN WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO PAY 4.00 FOR GAS
WHY BECAUSE THEY PAY $12.00 A GALLON
HERE IS MY POINT
IF GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY ALL OF MY NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY THEN MY PRIORITY SHOULD BE ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM
WHY
BECAUSE IT INVOLVES ALL OF MY EMPLOYMENT
AND SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CASH IN MY CLUNKER FOR THE GOVERNMENTS 4500.00 REBATE SO I CAN RECEIVE 30 MILES PER GALLON
I DO NOT HAVE TO TRADE IN MY TRUCK FOR A MOTORCYCLE TO SATISFY SOME ONE ELSE’S FEAR
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF GAS ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE RECESSION ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE HOUSING MARKET ABOUT
FEAR
2 Tim 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
HE HAS NOT GIVEN TO US FEAR
BUT IT IS FEAR THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE BEGIN RELATING TO THE THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THIS WORLD.
TURN TO
John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
THIS IS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SENDING THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS IS SAYING THAT IT IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
THAT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU THAT I GO AWAY SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
I WILL TELL YOU THAT TO MANY IF THEY WERE GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
IF THEY COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN JESUS SPEAKING TO THEM
MINISTERING TO THEM
IF THEY COULD SIT AT HIS FEET
MANY WOULD CHOOSE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YET JESUS HIMSELF TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER IF HE GOES SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
WHY
NOW TURN TO
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
HE WILL BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE
ALL THINGS
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GRASP THIS BUT HE IS THE TEACHER OF ALL THINGS PERTAINGING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS
NOW WHY WOULD MOST PEOPLE TAKE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT EVEN THOUGH JESUS TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER FOR US IF HE GOES
WRONG TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
HOW MANY TESTAMONIES HAVE WE HEARD ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKING SOME ONE MISERABLE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTING US OF OUR SINS
ABOUT HIM MAKING US FEEL UNWORTHY AND CONDEMNED
HIS NAME IS THE COMFORTER AND SOME HOW WE BELIEVER THAT HE IS THE CONDEMNER
THE ACCUSER
THE ONE WHO MAKES US MISERABLE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE
HEAR ME
THE COMFORTER CONVICTS US ONE SIN AND ONE SIN ONLY
John 16:7-11
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
HERE IS THE SIN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT REPROVES THE WORLD
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ON HIM
IT IS AMAZING TO ME THE AMOUNT OF GODS PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN INTELLUCT AND THEY NEVER COME INTO THE REVEALTION OF TRUTH THAT MAKES THEM FREE
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT BRINGS THESE REVLATIONS THAT MAKE US FREE
FROM CONDEMNATION
FROM BONDAGE
FROM SICKNESS
FROM POVERTY
ONE WORD FORM THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TOTALLY RE-ADJUST YOUR LIFE
YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
I HAVE FELT IN THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT I HAVE NEEDED TO BRING ATTENTION AND INSTRUCTION TO HAVING OUR LIVES DIRECTED THROUGH THE UNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FAITH THAT YOU CAN WALK IN
VERSE 21
Jude 21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES KEEPS YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD

SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE REST AND REFRESHING THAT GOD GIVES TO GIVE THAT JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY
WHAT EVER YOUR PROBLEM IS
IF YOU ARE REALLY WANTING TO HEAR FROM GOD ONE WORD FROM GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM
LET ME USE FIANCES AND I USE FINANCES BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE UNDERSTANDING CAN RELATE TO FINANCES
IF YOU HAVE A FINANCIAL PROBLEM
ONE WORD FROM GOD
I MEAN ONE WORD FROM GOD AND THAT ONE WORD BRINGS REVELATION
THE REVELATION OF WHO YOU NEED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH
THE REVELATION OF SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
THE REVELATION OF AN IDEA
THE REVELATION OF HIS WORD CONCERNING FINANCES AND THE APPLICATION OF THAT REVELATION
LET ME BRING TO YOU REVELATION
Matt 17:25
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GOD KNOWS WHICH FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH
NOT EVERY FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH BUT GOD KNOWS WHICH ONE’S DO
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF MONEY REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HEAR ON NBC OR ABC
THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THAT FACT IS REALITY ACCORDING TO THE MONEY THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO GO IN DEBT
PEOPLE ARE BOUND BY WHAT THEY HEAR ABOUT HOW MUCH GAS IS
ABOUT THE RECESSION THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN
BUT HERE IS REALITY
NOT EVERY ONE IS GOING THROUGH A RECESSION
NOT EVERY ONE IS AFFECTED BY THE PRICE OF GAS
NOT EVERY ONE IS EFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF JOBS
THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THERE ARE ALSO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT GOD SUPPLIES ALL THEIR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
SO HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER BAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HAS CALLED US TO WHAT
GLORY
AGAIN
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I HAVE ONLY TAKEN ONE ASPECT OF SALVATION WHICH IS PROSPERITY AND I AM SHOWING YOU SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE IF YOU HAVE A HEART TO BELIEVE
IS IT TRUE OR NOT TRUE
MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL MY NEED
THAT WORD NEED IN THE GREEK IS CHREIA AND IT MEANS ALL OF YOUR BUSINESS
ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT
ALL OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS
ALL OF YOUR AFFAIRS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS
IS IT TRUE OR NOT
IT IS TRUE ACCORDING TO WHAT
TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HE HAS CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE
LET ME BRING SOMETHING TO YOU
WE TALK ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS BEING 2.50
3.00 AND EVEN 3.50 LETS GO TO 4.00 AND WE ARE TREMENDOUSLY UPSET BY THAT PRICE
AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN GREAT BRITIAN WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO PAY 4.00 FOR GAS
WHY BECAUSE THEY PAY $12.00 A GALLON
HERE IS MY POINT
IF GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY ALL OF MY NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY THEN MY PRIORITY SHOULD BE ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM
WHY
BECAUSE IT INVOLVES ALL OF MY EMPLOYMENT
AND SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CASH IN MY CLUNKER FOR THE GOVERNMENTS 4500.00 REBATE SO I CAN RECEIVE 30 MILES PER GALLON
I DO NOT HAVE TO TRADE IN MY TRUCK FOR A MOTORCYCLE TO SATISFY SOME ONE ELSE’S FEAR
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF GAS ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE RECESSION ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE HOUSING MARKET ABOUT
FEAR
2 Tim 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
HE HAS NOT GIVEN TO US FEAR
BUT IT IS FEAR THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE BEGIN RELATING TO THE THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THIS WORLD.
TURN TO
John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
THIS IS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SENDING THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS IS SAYING THAT IT IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
THAT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU THAT I GO AWAY SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
I WILL TELL YOU THAT TO MANY IF THEY WERE GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
IF THEY COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN JESUS SPEAKING TO THEM
MINISTERING TO THEM
IF THEY COULD SIT AT HIS FEET
MANY WOULD CHOOSE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YET JESUS HIMSELF TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER IF HE GOES SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
WHY
NOW TURN TO
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
HE WILL BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE
ALL THINGS
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GRASP THIS BUT HE IS THE TEACHER OF ALL THINGS PERTAINGING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS
NOW WHY WOULD MOST PEOPLE TAKE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT EVEN THOUGH JESUS TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER FOR US IF HE GOES
WRONG TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
HOW MANY TESTAMONIES HAVE WE HEARD ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKING SOME ONE MISERABLE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTING US OF OUR SINS
ABOUT HIM MAKING US FEEL UNWORTHY AND CONDEMNED
HIS NAME IS THE COMFORTER AND SOME HOW WE BELIEVER THAT HE IS THE CONDEMNER
THE ACCUSER
THE ONE WHO MAKES US MISERABLE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE
HEAR ME
THE COMFORTER CONVICTS US ONE SIN AND ONE SIN ONLY
John 16:7-11
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
HERE IS THE SIN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT REPROVES THE WORLD
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ON HIM
IT IS AMAZING TO ME THE AMOUNT OF GODS PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN INTELLUCT AND THEY NEVER COME INTO THE REVEALTION OF TRUTH THAT MAKES THEM FREE
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT BRINGS THESE REVLATIONS THAT MAKE US FREE
FROM CONDEMNATION
FROM BONDAGE
FROM SICKNESS
FROM POVERTY
ONE WORD FORM THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TOTALLY RE-ADJUST YOUR LIFE
YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
