today we continue to you know we've been looking at Visions 1 uh 19 in the Amplified and you know I would like to go back here again because this is we need to be continually aware of uh of how that we are uh we have this incredible uh here in the Amplified so that you may know the prayer of Paul for the Chans and his prayer now is also for us this is for the global Church uh his prayer is for every believer to know and understand to have an experience to have a a face-to-face experience and understanding of what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of his power in in and for us believe as demonstrated in the working of his mighty strength he he uh this you know this great power was demonstrated when God raised him from the dead it was demonstrated uh everywhere in his life I mean if we just pay attention if we just allow uh the scripture to give us Revelation uh upon Revelation upon Revelation and not allow just the uh uh Revelation yesterday is not going to be enough to carry us through the victory we're supposed to enjoy and accomplish today and so let's go to uh again you know um we have been in this topic we have been teaching and preaching on the anointing and the anointed one which is Christ Jesus our lord and the power of this anointing and the expediency the insistence of Jesus reminding us and commanding us in uh John 16 to wait until you're filled with power from on high because it is expedient he says you know you you did the disciples were sorrowed they were sorrowful they were pain they they have no understanding of what the spiritual warfare was doing to them they were so uh even you know at the point I believe of some some kind of depression uh because of the Advent that Jesus is uh leaving and so uh here uh take me there again Jeremy I think it's uh John [Music] 16 yeah uh uh 16 yeah no go to yeah well you know he in verse one he again insisted I have told you these things he's he's he's leaving he's going so that you should not be offended taken unawares and falter or be caused to stumble and fall away because there will be so he tells us all this because there will be a lot of opportunity in the end times to be offended and to be and to falter in other words to miss it to be to go astray to be seduced by uh even the sadness and the sorrow of the living uh of Jesus going away and and then you know and it can because it can cause us stumbling and falling away and uh even here this is very very powerful I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled so in the last days we are looking at uh an opportunity for us to be scandalized and to be repelled by what we see happening and so the expediency of uh the uh and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit In Our Lives is going to be very very uh key and very important but um like over here let me just show you it's not in your notes but uhu I just remember in there's this new this book I've had it since 1983 it's a different kind of translation and um it talks I mean it it's translated evidently from the heart of Paul like this is kind of the heart of Paul and I really believe Paul has been demonstrating and exhibiting his heart for God so that you and I may be affected may be impacted by by it okay so um let me see here um here in verse 19 from this version and translation it says um and that you will be aware you know the prayer of Paul is to make us aware um make us aware of the incredible immense strength all right that's his translation uh which is available to us so what we're pressing on in this study what we're doing is really reminding us and allowing us ourselves to really put our dependence on the holy spirit all right and um yeah let me see let's go I mean you know I I have another not another set of notes but you know me right I mean at the in the morning when I begin to pray and study again uh get a new set of notes and so bear with me um you know because this is um where we will be coming from today is you know like take take me to my my my old my new notes Jer thank [Music] you okay so last week on in the past few weeks on you've been last week more specifically we were talking about the message and The Messengers and uh in this um teaching we were talking about the message the message really is Christ Jesus right and um and we are carriers of The Messengers in the Book of Revelation this pertains to uh um this was talking to John John was the messenger the angel was the messenger appointed by by God and then you know uh the angel announced this to the to to John and then John is announcing it to uh the churches seven churches more specifically and and today this is really uh announcing this to us and we are being raised up this announcement is not just for us to hear it but for us to really walk in it all right so here we say you know in Revelation 12 1910 the testimony this is the testimony uh of Jesus Christ the spirit of Prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ and how is that related to what we're doing all right let's take take a look at the uh The Book of Revelation and I fell at his feet to worship him but he said to me see that you do not do that I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy and uh today I just want to show us what does that mean what is the spirit of uh what is the spirit of Prophecy so it is the revelation of who Jesus Is Right amen and um yeah the point is the spirit of Prophecy our message is Jesus our message is Jesus I'm sorry I'm kind of a little bit distracted here can somebody send our our our our link to Jay J cross he's trying to get in but could not get in and he's messaging me and so I'm distracted okay so the point is the spirit of Prophecy is our in our uh what what it means is that Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy and whenever we preach Jesus whenever we preach the word of God whenever we preach the gospel the spirit of Prophecy is released the heart of God is revealed the presence of God uh leads us and takes us into that place of maturity and so for his message to be impactful we must be led by the spirit of God and um this morning as I was really you know going back to uh listening to what the spirit of God is saying I was actually uh you know getting ready to talk about Romans chapter 3 to chapter 8 um but let's let's be you know let's go to Romans 8 1-5 again you've heard this preached we've taught on this I've preached on this several times I've encouraged us on this many many times but here again today very important uh for us to remember what the scripture is saying it says there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus no more condemnation all right and you know this is I believe the emphasis here is that there is therefore now no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus after we have looked and studied chapter 7 chapter 6 chapter 5 chapter 4 chapter 3 chapter 2 chapter one and all of that Essence and so he brings us Paul by the spirit of God brings us into this place of therefore right you know we thought on that therefore when he says therefore it's because you know we have to look at the context of from chapter 1 to chapter 7 to bring us into this delivery into this narrative and this narrative is now reminding us because of that because of the teachings that uh he spoke in chapter 1-7 understand that there's no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus if you are in Christ Jesus if you've been born again if you've been uh birthed in the spirit of God if you have this experience of newness of life you are a new creation old things have passed away behold new things have come I mean you are a new creation and therefore you do not walk no longer walk according to the flesh you're not instigated you're not inspired you're not uh you're not uh led by your flesh your desires your own craving Your Lust and what are you led by you're led by uh the spirit of God according to the spirit not your former lifestyle not our former ways but according to the newness of life and operation which is according to the spirit of God and that's why you know when when you begin to really see this and and meditate on you begin to see wow what does this really do to us and so we will look at the um this chapter for a little bit until verse five for the law why because the law of the spirit of life in Christ has made me free you are free from condemnation you are free from the agitation of your old ways and habits you are freed you know that's an ongoing activity working in us not just one time but every time we obey God every time we walk in the spirit every time we put our trust in the Holy Ghost every time we allow the word of God to direct us every time we come into the presence of God and Savor his presence and allow his Beauty and his goodness to emanate into our lives to uh that we absorb this presence and we allow that presence to really you know just well over us all right I mean and and and you you we are freed every moment every time even even right now as uh you know as the worship Tim was worshiping as uh uh exhortation for offering was being exalted as an exhortation from Mariel was being being released I mean there is that freedom we are being freed from the law of sin and death that's the reason why Jesus came to set us free from the law of sin and death and uh to release us into the law of the spirit of of life in Christ Jesus take me to verse three uh for what the law could not do see the law of Moses all of those uh uh uh tradition I mean for as long as it was rigidly um done and observed it has no life and so what what caused the law of God to become life is the spirit of God so for what the LA could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful Flesh on account of sin he condemns sin in the flesh that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us see the Fulfillment of the law in US is led by the spirit of God is through the grace of God through his Spirit um and so in us who do not you do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit very very important because the you know we looked at uh as you remember the past few weeks we were also looking at okay what what are the characteristics of an anr Spirit what are these kind how do they how are they manifested and if we're not walking in the spirit of God we will be walking in another spirit and that will be a door open to be to be to be trapped to be uh entrapped and to be seduced by an antichrist spirit that eventually will help us you know resist the reality of who Jesus is Will resist the Obed in obedience to what he tells us next Jeremy verse five and for those so this is for those who live according to the flesh the definition of this is that your minds are set on the things of the Flesh of course that's your mind set and that's why um uh as we obey God as we spend time with with Jesus as we spend time in the word of God as we meditate and eat the word of God and allow it to sustain and nourish us our our Inner Man uh we we expel the inter working of an antichrist Spirit which is a Defiance a denial of what Jesus is all about and that's Antichrist and so so that that is a mindset and part of our deliverance is to be freed from this kind of mindset so and then here uh the emphasis now is but those who live according to the spirit so the the the requirement for us the command for us our naturality now as a born again believer is to live according to the spirit and the things of the spirit so very very important Jeremy take me to the I I sent you a uh a translation from uh from Ben Campbell Johnson this is an old book that I had that I was just reminded and I went back to it and I was reading it and this is a beautiful translation look at this now there is no accusing this is verse one of Romans 8 now there is no accusing boys nagging those who are united are you United to Jesus Christ am I United to him are we together as for runners for Christ United to Jesus Christ then then let us resolve and then let us be convinced that there should be no more accusing voice nagging us continually trying to agitate us continually trying to disu us from believing that we are saved that we belong to Jesus all right so uh those whose lives are directed by the spirit rather than by old attitudes see uh here I love I love this translation because it tells you that you and I as Born Again Believers cannot be cannot be directed by uh uh our old pattern our old attitudes our old habits the old man in us remember Phil uh 2 Corinthians 5:17 was very empathic in telling us you are a new creation in other words there's that old Creation in us and it was removed when we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior and a new creation we we were our spirit man came alive to God and and we are now connected back to him and we are now New Creation because the old Persona the old attitudes the old habits and the old principle of lifestyle has been removed and a new lifestyle has been uh uh born into us we're we're given a new pattern and new lifestyle and uh become and and you know this new principle it says so all the attitudes and patterns they they go away they should not be there although yeah I mean you know we know this that uh some of our old patterns are still kind of insisting to show up and old patterns are we continue to still uh Traverse those Pathways but you know what the power of the holy spirit that that uh exceeding greatness of his power will OU it will violently remove it from us if we violently refuse to go that way so you know those are kind of our attitude so verse two tells us the new principle this is a new principle walking in the spirit is a new principle of Life which Christ revealed has liberated me from the rules that unveiled my estrangement and made me feel my very being threatened all right this new principle of Life In Christ uh liberates us sets us free from being confined to the rigors of the rules and it also opens up unveils to us or gives discloses to us that that we were before all before we were received Jesus Christ Lord and Savior we were EST strange we were separated from God and and receiving Jesus the Lord and savior is what puts us back into that original plan of God for us to be once again joined to be once again enter into his presence given that access to be once again uh be privilege to have this ability to call him as ABA God my father our father and uh all that threatenings of that separation is no longer present in the midst of us verse three what the rules could not accomplish in US humans God accomplished through his son who shared our Humanity he kept his Unity with God while overcoming human estrangement thus revealing the way for us to be United with God very important uh for us to see Jesus in this last days we kept see saying that even in our study of the Book of Revelation is really for us to see Jesus the the ability to see Jesus is very available for this generation of us because we are supposed to be equipped in knowing him in trusting him his leadership in allowing um uh his promises to to take us into those places where otherwise we will get uh we will be trapped into unbelief and doubt and so holy spirit is here to help us walk that truth Jesus said you know he is the spirit of Truth and he will remind you of all the things that I have told you and he will help you he is helper he is Helper and that word help ER also connotes another meaning which means comforter uh you know uh bodyguard is another translation he he he watches over us he walks with us and he talks with us and he opens doors for us that only he can escort us there so here you know our Humanity now even in the human flesh Jesus walked in the spirit and we will look at that in in the Advent of of his uh his baptism and the Advent of his uh being led by the spirit of God in the wilderness and we will see how he exemplified to us and for us how to walk in the spirit of God how to be in the realm of heaven and how to be in the realm of the spirit and how that becomes you know very very important in uh carrying on the ministry that we are assigned like he the ministry he has assigned uh so he kept his Unity with God and this is the calling that we are called to do in the end times in this last days there will be a lot of disruptive uh uh situation disruptive elements distracting situations and Circumstance um uh which you know is is aimed to remove us separate us from God be be be this be you know be be carried away in uh destruction you know makes us makes us you know neutralizes our faith sometimes and it also distracts us from uh the point the focus to which we are called to do which is fix our eyes on Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith so yeah uh revealing to us the importance of this Revelation Matthew 16 once again you know I take as there as because I am I'm still in that revelation of who Jesus is you know who who he is it's a revelation I mean Moment by moment every time and every in in every juncture of our walk with God we must see Jesus in our troubles let's see Jesus in our victories let us see Jesus in our difficulties let us see Jesus because as we see him we will be encouraged because he he too was like us human beings except without sin and he too experienced all the weaknesses all the pains all the sufferings and all the uh rigors that a human being goes through and yet he stuck with God he he allowed himself to be bounded by what only God says and what only God does and what his assignment is all about you see that that's kind of next so the right relations the rules intended can now be achieved in us who live spontaneously out of the spirit rather than rigidly according to the rules you know it's so freeing to walk in the spirit you're not you're not held captive you're not held prisoner by the ways of the world world and the systems of the world regardless of how nice it looks regardless of how reasonable it may Sim or comfortable or easy to accomplish no the thing is you obey God we obey the leadership of the holy spirit because that is the only way and that is the only place next all right go back to our notes so let's continue to move in the Holy Spirit is our encouragement um Jesus continued to say to us you know here we must understand the uh and we must be convinced see these are all empathic you know imperative that to live and have our being in the Holy Spirit is to our advantage to our benefit Jesus said that I I've got to go away you guys you're sadden that I'm leaving but I've got to go away because if I don't go away I will not be able uh the holy spirit will not be able to be sent to you to be released to you to be poured out to you but when I go away the holy spirit will be given to you will be released to you and this is going to be for your advantage so very very again you know I mean I mean I've been talking about this advantage and this benefit for the past few months right because very needful for us to not forget because we forget we're human beings we forget we get distracted by a lot of things things and let's not go the way of Destruction let us recognize that all this an antichrist spirit is present in our midst most specifically in the church for the purpose to dissuade us to uh to entrup us and to uh seduce us from you know having a little bit of God having a little bit of the Holy Spirit and not fully attain to the advantage and the benefit to which we are uh uh to enjoy all right next here John 16 6-7 but because I have said these things to you sorrow has filled your heart but you know the the the things that Jesus was saying John 13 to John 17 was not uh meant aimed to for them to be sorrowful but unfortunately you know the departure of Jesus and whatever was unknown to them and uncertain in uh him going into the cross and in in the Advent of that suffering crucifixion death and burial and Resurrection those are so unknown to them they have no idea of the depths of that you and I we read it we understand it and and and we are we are it's advantageous to us because we we have Holy Spirit to teach us and show us these things and and you know reveal to us unfold to us unveil to us the Deep deeper things and the deeper meaning of uh Jesus going away and going through uh uh the sacrifice so that you know because there is a a Redemption that must be must be uh must be done there is a a you know a um a taking back taking back that's the word I'm looking for a taking back of the earth as God has originally designed it for us his people and his you know his children remember the two things that God's heart has and he has empathized even as you look we look at uh uh Genesis chapter one is that he wanted a family for him he he is a he has a Father's Heart and he would like to have children and he would like to have a family and and that you know that already shows us how he meticulous ly and carefully and fully and you know completely he just kind of created an earth that would be suitable good and uh you know applicable and beneficial to the human being that he was created he was creating and he that's why the primary thing that he did was to create you and me human beings in the image of God and in his likeness that's a huge you think that you know we need to continue to comprehend and understand the value of that the reason for that is because God wants you we're born again in the image of God we are birth to become a part of God that we become his family that we become we be able we have this ability to communicate with him to be drawn to him to love him to go to him as our Vital necessity so he said here it is to your advantage that I go away understand this disciples it is to your advantage that I go away for if I do not go away the helper will not come to you but if I depart I will send him to you so this is the promise this is the power of that conversation of that narrative okay so you know let's let's not forget this and so the significance of Jesus following um here I'd like to yeah I would like to show us the significance of Jesus following uh the timings of his start of ministry observing the how he began submitting to the ministry of John uh the Baptist allowing heaven to be opened as he obeyed God's plan of execution I mean you begin to see that all of that you notice you know in the Life in in the whole Bible I mean it took a while from Genesis chapter 3-15 in the Declaration of God's war against the devil against sin against Darkness he made a confrontative you know declaration that I'm going to fight you I am sending someone to fight you to to destroy you to uh uh crush your head and um you know this is really the conversation God God was declaring I have a Redemptive plan and my Redemptive plan is going to be carried on by the Redeemer My Redeemer whom I'm going to send and we see it you know uh we see it uh generation after generation until the generation of the New Testament when Jesus was born that all of that generation they were all expectant they were all you know crying marata I mean okay where is your Redeemer God where is you know all of these things happening and all that cry is resounding uh more um with with more clarity today with you know with powerful panderos you know sound from Heaven declaring that you know marinata Jesus is coming and that's your cry and my cry and it is important for us to pattern our lifestyle our thought process our boundaries as we are Jesus you know stayed within the boundary which he was called he did not go ahead neither did was he ever late all right and that's one you know thing that I'd like to press on to us think about that and that's you know the scope and that's an image of how uh we are to obey the whole uh obey the promises of God the word of God that's why it is very imminent and very important for us to really develop this uh this strong and intimate relationship with God I mean he's just your all you're just obsessed with God you're just obsessed with Jesus this is he is your uh Magnificent Obsession and when he becomes that to you and to me and as a church oh my goodness the reflection of that how that will affect us how that will you know totally not only Inspire us heaven will breathe on us okay next we see this and of course I'm referring to um you know later on we will look at it um be ready with it uh Jeremy Matthew Mark Luke and John all the four uh gospel talked about the um the baptism of Jesus and actually all all also all four gospel talked about the uh birth of Jesus and and so those are very important juncture in his life those are very important you know narrative uh that that to take us into you know the the Book of Revelation the ending it it you know in this generation of the end times I mean it is very it behooves for all of us to understand the importance of every sequencing in the life of Jesus and in the life of the history of human of human be you know from Genesis to now I mean God continues to speak but the thing that I'd like to take uh get our attention uh to pay attention to is that you know the anointing and the presence of God in this time because we are in the end is going to be so much more powerful so much more manifested you know the the revelation of the seven spirits going to be operative and operating in us because uh the return of Jesus is being accelerated and the return of Jesus is allowing his church to see him as a bridegroom King so that we may know his heart we may know his emotion we may partner with him uh him being the bridegroom we the bridegroom Paradigm the bridegroom Spirit of Jesus reflects upon us that makes us become the bride the more we understand the love of Jesus the love of God the more we become have this tenderness and this emotion in our hearts that really grows us into that identity of being the Bride of Jesus Amen so here uh on you know in his baptism or commencement of his um uh Ministry uh we see the demonstration of an open heaven we see the validation of Heaven father Sent His Holy Spirit to fill him fill Jesus with the holy spirit with the evidence of a DOB a lighting upon him and then the SP the voice of God heard because heaven was split open and then uh and then of course after all that sequence events he was led by the spirit to be tested in the wilderness yes and then of course we begin to see how in 40 days and 40 nights he fasted and he prayed and how he was Victorious over the devices of the devil all right and I'm I'm showing us this because I mean I just I really saw the emphasis here is that Jesus obeyed God every step of the way whether it's timing whether it's doing healing whether it's doing miracle whether it's being baptized all of it are in step and in time with God's timetable no more no less not ahead and not late and why is that important because if we go ahead of God's timing we will miss the empowerment of the spirit of God and that's when you know a lot of people are burnt out a lot of people fail a lot of people get uh discouraged because the effect the result that they're supposed to have fully and holy in God is not experienced is not uh it's not attained why because you went ahead of God God's not there and then the other the other ditch you know those are the two ditches where you go ahead and then the other ditch is that you're late and if you're late again this the presence of God is not there to work with us the spirit of God is Not There to really uh give us the result that we're supposed to have and so uh frustration happens I mean bitterness happens and discouragement happens and pretty soon you know we we go astray and uh uh we leave the faith and you know then we become uh the food for the devil to chew on all right next so what we see here and you know what what I would like for us to really hone in which the Jesus and his explicit obedience to God is very clearly demonstrated here in Luke 4 we hear Jesus pray and declare Isaiah 61 but before we go the journey I mean this was just you know like an addition uh let's go to uh let's go to John uh I think it's John 3 uh it's the um let's take a look at the baptism of Jesus because I want and and you know you guys are are welcome to go to Mark uh to Matthew Mark and Luke and see all all that you know uh it's all validating it's all witnessing to uh what Jesus how Jesus went through the baptism of repentance uh being ministered by John yeah verse uh chapter 1 verse 29 the next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and said Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world already John is you know serving this notification preparing the people to behold to be looking into intently the Lamb of God has come into the Earth to take away the sin of the world that was a declaration and uh you can just imagine how you know hell is trembling at this point because of that declaration ation that is a confrontation declared in the spirit in the through the mouth of John the Baptist and this is he of whom I said after me comes a man who is prepared before me for he was before me so he was talking about the Divinity of Jesus and his position John the Baptist position as the prepare of the way a forerunner a messenger just like you and me all right next so I did not know him in other words I have no personal recognition of his anointing of who this is but that he should be revealed to Israel in the same manner today that Jesus who he is that he is the coming King that he is the uh um the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord that he is coming back he returning to bring judgment to the Earth and he bring judgment to the Nations and those in government and Leadership that has continually resisted them and he would bring to write all the wrongs and uh he will restore the earth into its original design and then and uh and and then lead us into the Millennium in uh you know where uh Satan is no longer present so therefore I came baptizing with water this is the identity of of John the Baptist and John bore witness saying I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dob and he remained upon him next so you begin to see here uh go back there verse 32 I saw John was testifying the evidence of him seeing the spirit of God coming down from heaven in the form of a dove like a dove like in the gentleness of a dove in the Purity and the whiteness of a dog and uh he remained upon Him Jesus is full of the Holy Spirit he walked with the spirit it remained I mean never left him just like uh when we receive the holy spirit of God we're baptized in the Holy Spirit he does not leave us we need to be refilled continually uh by the with the holy spirit's presence in the midst of us uh because we you know ministering is is using the life of God in us and so we go back there to be refilled I mean again on the side note we when when you go and uh uh reread the Gospel of Jesus I mean you will begin to see him you know departing after ministering after business during the day or even in the midst of the day I mean he would uh remove himself from the crowd or remove himself from the disciples and go into a deserted area in the mountain most most usually and there he would commune with God he would come into the presence of God and allow him to be refreshed refilled restored replenished that you know he allows the presence of God to feel him and that's what happens to us when we allow uh when we come before the presence of God and allow Holy Spirit to come to us and be refilled be being filled it is a constant thing that we submit ourselves to God that is not enough for us to just be full to the brim if we are a glass but we must be overflowing with the presence of God because the Overflow is what I keep saying this to you and to me and I keep reminding myself that this is the Overflow is the only thing the only empowerment that I am enable to use really technically to do ministry to preach to whatever I am called to do that's the the uh the Overflow and so the requirement for us to be always overflowing in the spirit is very very important all right verse 33 let's go there I did not know him but he sent he he who sent me to baptize with water said to me upon whom you see the evidence all right which is the holy spirit descending and remaining on him this is he who baptizes with Holy Spirit now here I want to take us here again I know you might have read this but you know reading the scripture is not enough we got a park there we got to assimilate what the spirit is saying we got to wait and understand what he is revealing to us otherwise we're just Flatline again I mean it's just you know shallow but in this last day is you know the importance of really understanding the the uh the execution the workings of the holy spirit in our midst is going to be very important without the leadership of the Holy Spirit you and I we will not you know be able to be to overcome and be victorious in the end times because the rigidity the the violence the uh exceeding terribleness if that's a word of of the end times is going to require an overwhelming presence an overwhelming empowerment and understanding of how to move and walk and be helped and be guided and be led by the spirit of God and uh and so this is also this is John and I've have Sinn and testified that this is the Son of God so in the same manner we are encouraged to do this we are commanded actually Jesus says wait until you're filled with power from from on high the expediency of that waiting also reveals you know the heart of the disciples their heart of the 500 only 120 really waited and separated themselves and settled in the upper room where they were commanded to be to wait there to meditate there to spend time with God there and with each other and to reconcile to repent to remember what they've done true Peter was reme reminded of his denial of Jesus of of his false exaggeration and his false you know emotions in saying I will not you know I will die with you but unwilling to even just acknowledge that he is part of Jesus I mean you see that so so the Holy Spirit uh presence in our lives and the word of God uh anchoring uh you know really in US is this this are uh the elements of Heaven that helps us to be founded and when you're founded you're like a wise man who built upon the rock and though storms and winds and trouble and all of this may come against you you will remain standing upon that rock and that's you know the uh the parable I'd like for us to remember for the end times [Music] next uh yeah so let's take a look here here I mean uh let's look at Luke 4 and even look at Isaiah 61 I mean here I mean you know we were talking about uh the boundaries and and the timetables and the timings uh that Jesus would just allow himself to just do exactly what what God tells him to do no more no less next so here in Luke four we remember that he just finished 40 days of prayer he entered his baptism his ministry was attested by Heaven it is validated by Heaven opening Holy Spirit come down uh Heaven uh opening and holy spirit coming down to him in the form of Dove settling on him the voice of God Was Heard acknowledging his son and validating his appointment now you know he commences Jesus would commence to start his Ministry all right take a look so Luke 4 here he inaugurates his start of ministry by declaring the Fulfillment of the prophecy about him from Isaiah 61 let's take a look at Isaiah 61 uh actually from let's go first from Luke 4:19 or the beginning I think start with uh I think we started with verse um 18 yeah uh go go go over to verse 17 16 yeah that's good so he came to Nazareth remember this is after the 40 days of fasting and praying in the wilderness where he was tested and he proved himself he proved himself Victorious over uh the lies the seduction the Temptation Of The Devil and in its juncture of that testing he had the word of God to rebut what was being you know the attack against him I mean and those scriptures were really good and very nice but it was meant to destruct him and tempt him to uh in fulfilling his uh his calling and the same manner I mean I want you know really all of us should go and really meditate on the 40 days and 40 night that he was in the wilderness because he there we begin to see an example uh of strength and power and yielded to the Holy Spirit and yielded to God he would not dare regardless of what was being offered to him he knew exactly that he's richer than all of those offers being given to him by the devil that he would not he would not in one part there I mean you remember he says uh when he was said you know oh you must be hungry Jesus so why don't you turn the the rock into a bread so that you can eat and he says no man does not live by bread alone but by every word in other words he emphasized okay I don't have to have a bread because I have another life sustainance which is the word of God the word of God I eat the word of God I assimilate the word of God is what nourishes me and I will stay there because the ordinary bread the Earthly bread is just a passing moment bread it's not really going to sustain me in my inner man so here he says so he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read in other words so this has been his practice you know he's been going to the synagogue and uh uh participating in church and he was handed the book of the prophet Isiah and when he had opened the book he found the place where it was written he found the place that talks about him see this is part of uh um 150 chapters uh talking about uh prophesying about the return of Jesus prophesying about the end times and here he found his place where it was written it was written about him by the prophet Isaiah next Verse 18 and he re cited proclaimed and prayed Isaiah 61 saying the spirit of the Lord is upon me so he he proclaimed that he acknowledged that the spirit of the Lord is upon me when did that happen when he was baptized when he was in the Jordan River when he underwent you know the baptism of repentance through the ministration of of John the Baptist and uh at that juncture God opened Heaven because he was being obedient to the timings and the season to which the you know the purposes of God must be established and and you know again on the side note for us to accomplish Our Calling to accomplish our purposes to accomplish our assignment we must allow um an understanding of the timing of the when because we understood the why so here acknowledge the spirit of God is upon me because he has anointed me I'm anointed I'm ordained I'm I'm I'm you know um I'm the purpose of my coming to Earth is here now uh to preach this is this is why I am the Messiah I am the anointed one because I am to preach the gospel to the poor uh the other day I was teaching on The Sermon on the Mount for the Palawan uh Cry of the Bride group and uh one of the things that we emphasize is that poor in spirit is a recognizing of our you know um uh that we're nothing uh our impoverish uh without God in our lives and our actually we're we're rich today you and I as Born Again Believers we're rich because we have been enriched by the life of God by the power of God by the rights and the Privileges and the inheritances to which we are recipients of uh through Jesus Christ and uh to to to recognize that we are poor without God is a submission to him and in that recognition God allows us to see things that are going to be beneficial uh profitable for us through the Holy Spirit and so number one thing there is there are a lot of you know we need to recognize a lot of poor in the spirit and then those are our Target those are our assignment they are the assignment to which we are to preach the gospel to make them rich in the Lord to relieve them of their poverty so he has sent me to heal there goes the healing there's so many people brokenhearted to Proclaim to make a declaration that Liberty to the captive so when we preach the gospel what happens is all the shackles the anointing that breaks the Yoko bondage removes the shackle removes the Captivity removes the darkness into a person and they arrive and they are able to enter into the light of God and the life of God and there's a recovery of sight already almost you begin to see they begin to see the depravity of their lives without God and the richness of their lives with with God and then they're set to Liberty this is the message to set at Liberty those who are oppressed I mean look around you look beside you look at your family look at your neighborhood look at your community so many so much depression oppression captivity brokenheartedness poverty not just poverty because they don't have things or they don't have enough money but the real poverty is so much deeper than that and that's the poverty of the spirit without God I mean Jesus said this to us in John 15 without me you can do nothing and really translation you are poor but if you have me you are the richest dude in town all right so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord which is another word for Jubilee uh which means restoration everything that has been Rob uh robbed you everything that has been taken away from you every opportunity every every um uh every every uh blessings of God that has been taken away from you God is here in the year year of uh Jubilee or in the year of the acceptable year of the Lord uh will be restored back to you there is a part of uh the Redemption that Jesus is returning for and actually his first coming has already opened us the way of the Jubilee and many of us you know we have been restored to the many things that we have been denied or we have lost or we have been robbed of or you know uh and and and God is continuing that that salvation that uh Redemption is continuing uh uh and and growing us into until the return of Jesus face to face physically you know on that day when he's supposed to return next next jman is that the end no that's not the end then he closed the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down and the eyes of all who were in The Synagogue were fixed on him his declaration his um his word the words that he read it was so full of the anointing of God that every eyes was fixed on him it riveted their attention towards him and he began to say to them today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing I mean that's another thunderous declaration and I'm sure hell was rocking at that point in in you know they probably just oh what's going on here you know because to be to for Jesus to declare that today this uh scripture is fulfilled in your hearing that means Heaven is coming down in its violent Force to bring restoration to the world then and progressively to the world we are in now next so all bore witness to him in other words wow you know everybody saw and marveled at the gracious Words which proceeded out of his mouth mouth this is how we're supposed to preach with the anointing we we we we impact those that are listening we impact the atmosphere with the anointing of God and and you know you you begin to Marvel at the wow at what the word just said you begin to see an ex expounding of that word you know maybe you have no language for it but that it would just you know it just overwhelmed you it just filled your heart and you know because those words are are full of grace gracious Words which proceeded out of his mouth and they said here now I want you to see that I'm going to point something here that's why we are here in this verse and they said is this not Joseph's son he said to them you will surely say this Proverbs To Me physician heal yourself whatever we have Heard done in capernium do also here in your country and and here I want to take your attention to here this is another expression and manifestation of an antichrist Spirit they now instead you know they were so taken by the anointing that they were so fixed on seeing Jesus and then all of a sudden that anointing was diluted by a presence that brought them to their attention now uh wasn't this just you know a human being wasn't this just the son of Joseph the carpenter our neighbor and so that is the working of the Antichrist all of a sudden from the Revelation in the spirit all of a sudden you know they were taken back they were influenced by another spirit and brought into a a attention attention and attentiveness to identify Jesus no longer as walking in the spirit but more so just walking in the natural as the son of the carpenter in his natural physicality that's another attack of the Antichrist spirit in that day and I want you to see that every time you know oh but you know over over here and over there but that recognize the spirit of God in you when you preach and Minister yeah you're brothers and sisters you know that's why you and I many times were hesitant to preach to them because they know us as a natural human being uh in our capacity as a brother or a sister or a mother or a a a father and so on and so forth or auntie and so we hesitate because they knew all our bad previous uh attitude and words and sometimes even our present attitude you know uh we are reminded that uh the accusing voice of the devil and the Antichrist would say to her you know you you keep you keep talking about God and godliness and uh you you you just cursed the other person the other day you just made a simangot and you just made a very frustrating remark and so they turn you back they take you back into that you know who you are in the natural rather than who you represent and who you have become you guys see this all right next so then he said assuredly I say to you no Prophet is accepted in his own country uh and and this is also a picture I mean you're not accepted as a prophet in your own home or in your family in the circle of your friends that knows your you know uh Kitz uh you know your your whatever you were doing wrong in the past you've done wrong in the past and maybe continue to exhibit today and so you know you're not accepted and so even even as you walk in the spirit there is that opposition but walking in the SP Spirit already has affected them affected the people the congregation that he spoke to already was astounded at the presence of God it this was just a momentary you know uh event where the spirit of antichrist kind of got in there and just uh you know um brought this doubt and this unbelief and you know the next thing is that verse 25 I tell you truly many widows I mean talk about you know many widows here in Israel in the Days of Elijah when the heavens were shut up three days and six months and there was a Great Famine throughout all the land in other words what he's trying to say here with uh to us today in 2024 is that you know we got to hear we have to hear uh knowing that there will always be opposition number one first of all in our own family in our own Community where we are known sometimes we hesitate preaching there and teaching there because they know us too well but you know um God is uh Jesus is saying that um just in the same manner that the Widow in um in the Days of Elijah he that he was not sent to uh a widow in his hometown except he was sent to a widow outside of his hometown so you and I sometimes our calling takes us to another venue because there is the the grace of God and the anointing of God is uh more prominent all right there will be no Antichrist there to yeah I'm saying that you know sometimes our family releases this Antichrist spirit in our environment in our you know in what we say and what we do resistance is there and it's opposition all right next so just you know but none of them was Elijah sent except to sarapa in the region of sidon to a woman who was a widow so you know this is just telling us that you know move move in the spirit when you move in the spirit of God regardless of where he sends you you must go there it is not about reason it is not about proximity it's not about uh uh convenience it's not about the Comfort it is about obedience to God for God's things to happen and our um our adherence to that obedience is is what makes things happen you know I keep sending us you know uh an emoji or a post uh that you know our obedience really allows God to make history We Make History because we're obedient We Make History because we're we listen to what the spirit of God is saying we allow the the leadership of the Holy Spirit to take us there all right we're almost there so hold on next I know I always get very so the result of the Antichrist spirit is those in the synagogue when they heard these things were filled with wrath you know and you know they were angered by the pronouncement of Jesus and they rose up and thrust him out he was pushed him outside of the city and they were going to you know uh you know uh uh push him into the cliff but Jesus you know knew better and he knew how to dodge this and by the spirit of God he was able to escape and so you see what I want to point over here right now is we're studying the anointing we're studying the Holy Spirit we're allowing ourselves to be immersed into the study into the words into the scriptures into examples of Jesus and examples of prophets and examples of obedience because there will be this Sly uh attacks of antichrist that will uh you know kick us out of time to or out of the city and maybe thrust us into a cliff and make damage to us and our Discerning and our ability and our posture of obedience to the leadership of the holy spirit will prevent us from having an unnecessary accident that's what I'm saying for as men as areed by the spirit of God this are the sons of God they have they exceed it and they manifest Authority and Discerning sharpness in the spirit Discerning where not to go what not to do where not to be next next all right now understanding so no let's let's just move on uh to the next uh yeah I have a few more minutes it's 12:21 my time and and uh I will we will finish on time and the rest we will study another time understanding the command to wait until very empathic and I've been going back on this over and over because it is important to wait because we know you you and I we all know we are in in the microwave generation also you know fast fast fast go go go go AAA you know that kind of thing but we are commanded to wait to have a posture of submitting ourselves to the leadership to the timing to the posturing of where God wants us to go we cannot go ahead and we cannot also be late so understanding his insistence not to sorrow at his departure it's necessary I'm pressing this in it's expedient I am saying that again and to your advantage and I'm taking that to myself even the necessity of being led by the spirit of God the necessity of allowing ourselves to be to come into the boundary of his assignment with his timing with his equipping and whatever however he's preparing all these things Jesus waited until he was 30 years old and evidently the the the age of 30 is uh if you're called to to be a priest or to be in Ministry then this is the age where you are ushered into that uh that Ministry and you know this is exactly when Jesus you know he he did not Minister he did not get baptized when he was 29 and a half or 29 and a few months uh or or one month before his 30th he it had to be 30 and he was very very explicit with that it's not being legalistic but it is understanding the timings and the seasons of God like the man of isachar they knew what to do and they knew the times and the season and they also knew the solution on what to do in those times and Seasons all right next so J showing us that there's a fight the people in his neighborhood saw him as a regular guy and people will fail to see from the spiritual realm you know when you walk in the natural you don't see what is going on in the spirit realm and we are called Born Again Bel we're not supposed to walk in the flesh we're supposed to walk in the spirit of God okay uh next so in this time of the end those who would explicitly obey to observe to obey the leadership of Holy Spirit are the ones who will constantly defy the works and entament of the devil I mean you're there is an exercise there is a skill here to not only understand not only only to uh execute wisdom rightly and in timely fashion but also a deeper Discerning a understanding of what not to do and how to do things a revelation an unfolding of what God is saying and what God is doing even a revelation of of who God is who Jesus is in our individual lives in every juncture and every part of our lives like like when Mar was you know I mean she's getting a revelation of you know who she is and so even in the midst of you know very trying challenging uh opportunities in her schooling in in her day-to-day life as well as for us our day-to-day life is really what exercises us when we apply when we allow the Holy Spirit to take us and walk us see our goal is to walk to live to walk and live in the Holy Spirit and it cannot be shuttling back and forth we can we always have to be in the realm of the spirit otherwise when you move out of that realm you are going to be uh you know at the mercy of the enemy because you're now Target next so in the gospel we see how we he walked Jesus walked in the Holy Spirit guidance and timings only and take me to that scripture I think it's uh um John 5 verse 19 are you there or not yet here in John five very very explicit you know like this is almost as close as after his baptism his his um 40 days in the wilderness all of that preparation all of that you know uh processing and then he was after preaching here in in John 5 and the healing of the one man among the many sick I mean we see here a demonstration of his obedience I mean there are so many people who were sick in this in this in this building and waiting for you know the moving of uh of the water but here Jesus only went to one all right next here in John 5:19 because you know he was being challenged you know he he healed this man on a Sabbath day and I don't know why Jesus always choose to heal people in the Sabbath I mean I think that's part of his Deliverance delivering people from being you know traditional and just being confined to uh Pro uh uh what it call this [Music] um just you know religious jargon and um here he says he declared so I speak to you Timeless truth the son is not able to do anything from himself or through my own initiative I only do the works that I see the father doing for the son does the same works as his father because the father loves his son so much he always reveals to me everything that he is doing he is about to do and you will be amazed when he shows me even Greater Works than what you've seen so far I mean this is our walk this is our lifestyle we don't do anything we did not see the father do this is very mouthful so 21 for just like the father has power to raise the Dead the son will raise the dead and give life to whomever he wants this is the result of obedience to God the father now judges no one for he has given all the authority to judge to the son so it's just kind of uh declaring who he is uh Revelation giving himself giving the hearer revelation of who he is and uh uh attesting to his relationship with the father that the you know his explic his obedience to the father is explicit he's not going to do anything he did not see the father do it and when he does what the the father doeth I mean it's going to be marvelous going to be powerful it's going to be impactful it's going to you know just rock the Earth and and shape it and transform it so that the honor that belongs to the father will now be shared with his son and so I'm I'm just seeing here obedience to God Jesus is saying when I obey the father I mean I give him honor and then he shares with me that honor so if you refuse to honor the son you're are refusing the honor the father who sent me so here again he's emphasizing uh that you know he's telling them who who he is so that they may recognize the father in him and that the the father sent him it is important that he be recognized as the sent one because that's the role and that's the goal and that's the the assignment of the messiah messiah is the sent one Messiah is the anointed one and that's what he was emphasizing to the Israelite Community then and even to us today next all right it's 12:30 and I have one more minute just we will probably end here no on verse 30 we will end verse 30 I speak to you and eternal not yeah verse 13 nothing so again you know after that conversation he is pressing he is bringing back to them the importance uh you know and and the benefit of obedience to God and listening and doing only that which we are anointed to do nothing I do is from my own Initiative for as I hear the Judgment passed by my father I execute judgment and my judgment will be perfect because I can do nothing on my own except to fulfill the desires of my father who sent me amen me take me back to the gallery uh I I believe the that's you know you see what I'm I'm I'm bringing us into here is uh the point the leadership of the Holy Spirit In Jesus is so powerful that if we is encouraging us he's actually commanded us to follow his ways he said I am the way the truth and the life no one goes to the father no one enters and has access into his presence into to his court except through me so we see him we see the truth we see him we find the way and he is the only way he laid the way for us so we may walk through it that is our pathway and he is you know the life when we follow when we obey we find life and that life is an extraord ordinary life it's a very extravagant life it's a very quality filled life it is the life of God and we find that only when we obey the Holy Spirit when we enter into that uh leadership of the holy spirit amen and I pray that uh you see that you understand that you press through that go back to this message I mean I'm really laboring you know cuz I I just am very very uh aware of uh the need for us to always walk in the spirit of God no exception only not not only when it's convenient or we're in the church or we're in a Bible study or we're in a prayer meeting no every every every time every minute 247 is how we should live and walk in the spirit of God so ABA we come before you today with fear and trembling recognizing that you have been very careful very thoughtful and very able to give us the opportunity the privilege to walk in the realm of the spirit where you are in your heaven in your presence where you are in the glory of your environment and when we do that we bring Heaven on Earth as the example of our prayer that Jesus taught the disciples and taught us this is how you should pray how our father we acknowledge you as our father ABA God who art in heaven and you are in that high place of authority and Circumstance and situation and geographical place your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven and then you know the rest that's the acknowledgement we bring every time we obey God everything every time we come into the presence of a holy God we bring when afterwards you know we bring the presence of our God we bring the presence of Heaven on Earth as it is in heaven we bring his kingdom we bring his will be done on Earth and his will is for all men to be saved his will is to have a family his will is to have a bride for his son that he may express to her to him yeah to her his heart and his emotions so father let every knee bow and let every tongue confess that Jesus you are Lord the eminency of who you are we worship you today and we thank you for sending us holy spirit giving us understanding of the advantage and the explicit necessity that we walk in the spirit that we live in the spirit that we forgo and let go of Walking In the Flesh for when we walk in the flesh we are enemies of God but when we walk in the spirit we enjoy the benefits the wealth the inheritances the very presence of a holy God in our MS and I thank you to those who are online and maybe you will be listening to this broadcast one of these days and I hope uh that the I'm praying that the anointing of God will reach out to you will touch your heart will bring tenderness into your heart and will heal your bitterness will heal your anger will heal you from your separation from God and will allow you to be United with the father and the son Holy Spirit who loves you and pay the price to die for you uh may you receive Jesus as your lord and savior today and experience the exuberance of a life eternal in Jesus name we pray amen God bless you all praying that the face of God shine upon your faces lifting up his countenance on you H translating transferring the glory his glory in his face and his being in you giving you peace that wholeness where there is no fragment fragmentation but everything whole everything complete and and Grace to surround you with favor as with a shield in Jesus mighty name we pray God bless you Mara goodbye have a blessed day
