00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.919 Yuri and Marissa Starr, who led worship last week. 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.839 Were you here last week and we were Yuri led worship with Pastor Thomas and Ben out? 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.359 He and his wife delivered their second star baby. 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.359 And they had another little boy. 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.120 And mom and baby are doing well. 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:32.479 Not only that, one of our deacons, George and Jennifer Grubbs, had a little girl on Wednesday morning, early in the wee hours. 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.320 Lily, Lily came through the valley, and uh they have a special story about their lily in the valley. 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:49.600 And uh she uh she came in the world on Wednesday morning, and then uh, you know, when Thomas leaves, all these people in the worship department, because Jennifer sings on our worship team, Yuri leads worship. 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.840 When he leaves and comes back, I'm telling you, things are happening in the worship department. 00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:01.920 This morning, this morning, our business administrator, his wife sings in the choir. 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.719 Had a little boy. 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:10.319 I'm telling you, if you want to get pregnant, get in the choir. 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.400 If you're desiring another child, it's a given. 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.040 I told my wife, don't you get near the choir? 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.400 You have to sit in the back row when they're in the building, baby. 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.719 I'm glad to report all moms and babies are doing well, and uh we just rejoice with them. 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.319 I'm glad you're here this morning. 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.920 Uh if you have your Bibles, open it up to two particular scriptures. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.799 The first one we're gonna look at is Romans chapter 8. 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.200 That's the first scripture we'll look at. 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:43.519 And then if you have a little red stringy thing there, or you can take your bulletin, want you to turn to a second scripture. 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.359 It'll be the last scripture we look at, will be 1 Peter chapter 2. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.719 Romans 8, 1 Peter chapter 2. 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.200 I mean, we're here last weekend. 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.599 Heard Pastor Marcus preach on uh ruling and reigning, how to get heaven to earth. 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.480 I mean, you know, when the big dog's out, the little dogs can do anything they want. 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.639 Well, with the big dog being out, Marcus and I decided we're gonna have our own little miniseries. 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.599 So we got us one. 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.639 I want to talk to you about this this morning. 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.120 How do you get heaven to earth? 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.280 I mean you need a little heaven in your earthly matters. 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.560 I know I do. 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.479 I've got some issues in my own household. 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.000 I've had them for the whole 26, 7 years that I've been saved. 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.120 I've had issues that I needed heaven to act on my behalf. 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.599 I'm gonna show you a picture today of what you're supposed to look like. 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.960 Then I'm gonna give you step-by-step instructions of how to look like that. 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:55.199 I entitled this message, When All Else Fails, read them directions. 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.080 All right, be honest. 00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.599 Don't don't budge on this one. 00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:03.759 I mean, if you ever tried to put that swing set together before reading the directions. 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:05.759 I did it twice. 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.919 Thought I was smarter than most of you. 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.479 Yep, my children came out and they kept looking at the box and they looked at the swing set. 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.080 I'm not getting on that, Daddy. 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.400 I was a little hard-headed. 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.400 I just said I knew I could figure it out and I put it all together and thought and they kept looking at them. 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.439 Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:32.000 I had to take it all apart because I missed the very first step, a key bar that had to be in there, and it can't go in last. 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.280 It had to go in first. 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.199 I find myself in the Christianity doing the same thing. 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:49.840 I try to figure this all out on myself, by myself, all alone, and then when it fails, when it's not looking like it should look, I began to read the instructions. 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.439 So today I'm going to show you two things. 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:56.719 I'm sorry. 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.639 You know, you don't preach real often. 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.919 Every now and you just waddle up with something, and I I've been sitting on this a while. 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.560 So if I just blow up up here, you just have to wipe it off and we'll go on, okay? 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.199 I'm pretty excited about this word, though. 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.000 I want to show you what you're supposed to look like. 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.639 And I want to show you step-by-step instructions. 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.519 If you'll follow these instructions, these are not my instructions. 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.959 If you'll follow these instructions, you will look like what you're supposed to look like. 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:33.040 If there were a picture on the outside of a Bible that says, this is what you're supposed to look like, and then you open it up and say, How do I look like that? 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.319 I promise you, you'll be held. 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.040 Alright? 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.879 Romans 8, are you there? 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.160 Why don't you read this scripture with me? 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.560 Verse 11. 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.160 If the spirit of him, now who is him? 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.120 You can talk back. 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:52.480 That's God. 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.759 If the Spirit of God, all right, we're not talking about anybody other spirit than God's Spirit. 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:06.720 If the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead, did you realize what this spirit has the power to do? 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.480 Read it. 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.759 Has the power to raise people from the dead. 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:12.959 Is that right? 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:24.480 Now, if this spirit has the power to raise people from the dead, do you think the problems that you may have brought into the building today are a little bit under that? 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.720 I mean, if you're alive, the problems you're experiencing on earth are under resurrection of the dead. 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:33.920 Is that true? 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.839 Now, my question to you this morning is, did the Spirit only have that power one time? 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.000 Not so, because we saw many people raised from the dead. 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.040 The little boy fell out of the window, Paul, you know, when the preacher got a little long-winded, Paul got long-winded, boy fell out of window, broke his neck, died, he raised him up, right? 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:52.399 How about Dorcas? 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.480 And how would you like to have that name? 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.240 Might have let her lay there a little bit. 00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:58.879 I don't know. 00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.600 Dorcas. 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.160 That's not I I just thought, what was that mama thinking about that day? 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.199 I mean, my mama named me Jeffrey Allison. 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.560 And I went to my mama and I said, Mama, what what were you thinking that day? 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.000 I know you had to be on drugs. 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.600 What were you thinking that day? 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.800 She said, Honey, it was my best friend's last name. 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.759 I said, Mama, it's a girl's name. 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.000 She said, No, it's my best friend's last name. 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.279 I said, Mama, they call me Alice all the way through high school. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.240 What could you have been thinking? 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.639 I saw a little child up in the uh kid class a couple of weeks ago. 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.800 She's walking down the aisle and I noticed her name was Alison. 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.800 And I said, Oh, that's a great name. 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:41.519 That's my name too. 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.720 And she goes, Nuh-uh I said, Yeah, it really is. 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.959 No, it's not I said, See, mama, it's not working. 00:06:52.240 --> 00:07:00.800 Dorothy was racing that if you see that this spirit has power, the spirit of God has power to raise the dead. 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.160 How many of you have ever seen anybody raise them dead? 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.000 Anybody? 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.680 I've seen a video. 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.759 I'm gonna tell you something about this spirit today. 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:12.319 Watch this. 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:20.160 If the spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead, key word, if you have a pen, underline it, dwells in you. 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:22.560 Get that? 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:34.399 If the Spirit of God, understand who we're talking about, has the power to raise from the dead dwells in you, he, God, who raised Christ from the dead, will also give you something. 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.560 What will he give you? 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.160 Life. 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.079 I mean you need a little life today. 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.480 How do you like a little life from heaven? 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.680 Maybe in your marriage, maybe in your finances, maybe at your job, maybe help raising teenagers. 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.199 I have three teenagers in my house right now. 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:50.639 I need a little heaven. 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.319 Send me a little heaven more, Lord. 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.519 Send me more heaven. 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.199 I need some more heaven. 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.079 Talk to me, talk to me. 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.040 I need I need some wisdom here. 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.199 I'm not just talk to me. 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.800 You might need heaven in your body today. 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.199 Any sickness in heaven? 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.480 Last time I checked, there weren't none. 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.920 Any death and dying in heaven? 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.000 How do we get heaven to earth? 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.120 I'm showing you right here. 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.600 I'm trying to give you a picture of what you're supposed to look like. 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:33.759 If the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, dwells in you, dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give you the same life, the same resurrection power in your mortal body through his spirit who dwells in you. 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:38.720 Now listen, anytime scripture repeats a word, you need to pay attention to that word. 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.360 That key word here is dwell. 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.639 Dwell in you. 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.080 How are you dwelling? 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:51.360 Listen, when Jesus came from heaven, he came from heaven to earth, spent 33 years on the earth, and went back to heaven. 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:59.440 The Holy Spirit was immediately sent 40 days later, and he went into earth from heaven, sent from God who is in heaven. 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.440 If you need heaven today, get the Holy Spirit. 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:08.639 He's already, you can get a deposit today in you from heaven. 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.960 He came from heaven. 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.240 He's going to return to heaven. 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.200 He's going to take as many of us with him to heaven. 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.320 If you need heaven on earth, get the Holy Spirit. 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.399 It's the key to the whole thing. 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.840 This whole life can be boiled down to one key word. 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.679 Dwell with him. 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.320 He's a pipeline to heaven. 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.519 All you have to do is tap into him. 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:39.360 Jesus did no miracle until he had the Holy Spirit come on him. 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:50.799 He was filled with the Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 4, led by the Spirit, walked in the Spirit, spoke what the Spirit says, had the power of the Spirit, and then was anointed by the Spirit. 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:55.600 If Jesus needed the Spirit, how much more us? 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:57.759 Hear me. 00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.600 I'm trying to paint you a picture. 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.120 We've got a direct pipeline into heaven. 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:04.720 He's here on earth. 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.559 All you have to do is tap in. 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.399 How's your fitting into that? 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.279 You get that connection into your spirit and you tighten it down and you don't let go. 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.559 You'll have heaven everywhere you go. 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.360 Listen, folks, I'm very competitive. 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.879 I don't like losing. 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.360 I don't want to lose. 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.840 I lose a lot playing golf lately. 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.320 I don't like it, but I'm still working at it. 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.080 But you know what I hate more than that? 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.159 I hate losing to the devil. 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.799 So I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.879 I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about people who've won. 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.080 I want to know about the people who won. 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.240 I don't want to read about the losers. 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.320 I want to read about the winners. 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.639 I've been reading every book I can get my hand on. 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.480 Smith Willsworth and John D. 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:53.759 Lake and Charles Price. 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.240 These are men that came in and won. 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.320 You know why I know they won? 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.039 They look like the guy that should be on the front cover. 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.159 Jesus. 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:08.399 When I read about Smith's life, I mean you can go to Amazon.com, just download Smith Willsworth, 45 books right there. 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.919 He didn't write a narrow one of them. 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.519 But many people were so impressed. 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.919 They wrote books about him all the time. 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.639 This man won. 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.679 What I like about his life, he got saved at eight. 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.720 At the age of 32, he didn't even know how to read and write. 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.720 He wanted anything special about him. 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.399 He was a plumber. 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.840 But he had his life changed at the age of eight by the Spirit of the Living God. 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.360 And at the age of 32, he's a plumbing and he's working for the Lord. 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.440 Everywhere he goes, he's leading people to Christ. 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.039 He's so impressed with what God's done in his life, he can't get over it. 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.360 At the age of 48, he said, I was filled with the Holy Spirit. 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:53.120 And I want to tell you, for 39 years, up to the age of 87, he turned the world upside down. 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.919 He was in one meeting and the man came in on crutches, had no feet. 00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.360 No feet. 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.559 He said, Tomorrow morning I want you to go buy shoes. 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:04.240 I never bought shoes. 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.440 I said, Go buy tomorrow morning. 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.240 You're gonna need 'em. 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.639 I said, okay. 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:14.159 So he goes into the the uh shoe place the next morning, hobbles down there on his crutches, walks in, they open up the doors. 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.159 He's the first customer who walks in and he says, uh what and then the little servant guy came out and said, What can I help you? 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.120 He said, I need a pair of shoes. 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.240 He said, What size? 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:22.720 I don't know. 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.720 I've never bought shoes before. 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.360 That sounds good. 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.480 I like that number. 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:29.600 Pair of eights. 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.960 He said, What color? 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.720 Man, there's a lot of decisions in buying shoes I've never faced before. 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:36.559 Black one, bring them to me. 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.399 Man brought out a pair of black shoes, unlaced them, put them in there, and he's watching. 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.960 He's like, Man, I've never done this before. 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.559 And this man took his crutch, raised his foot, put the stomp down into a shoe in a foot groove. 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.399 He did a little jig. 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.799 Hey man, I better get that other shoe over here quickly. 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.799 He put it in and a foot group to that. 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.080 How can you get heaven to back you up on earth? 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.080 Tap in in the Holy Spirit. 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.399 He'll tell you, I'm going to show you today. 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.200 He will tell you things that are to come. 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.480 He will show you things. 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.639 Now listen, if you want to live a humdrum life, close your eyes and take you a little nap. 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.440 I don't want to live a humdrum life. 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.799 Smith Wigglesworth died at the age of 87. 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:23.840 When he was 72, he asked the Lord, give me 15 more years. 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.600 I want 15 more years. 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.240 Lord, let's see. 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.080 We got some things to do. 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.600 15 years. 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:34.320 One week within the day that he asked it, 15 years later. 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:39.600 He went to do a man's funeral, walked into the back of the vestry of the church, said hello to a couple of preachers. 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.840 He stumbled, they caught him, and he was gone. 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.120 One week within the 15 days or 15 years that he asked it from that day. 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.080 87. 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.360 Listen, I have no desire to go to nursing home and rock. 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.639 I I'm a card player, but I don't want to play that much. 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.080 I don't have any desire to gum my food to death. 00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.120 I'm not there. 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.759 There's no retirement in my future. 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:04.799 When I'm done, I'm going home. 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.480 But until I'm done, I'm going to work to the very last minute. 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.279 There's nothing in me that wants to quit. 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.879 I don't want to lose to the devil, and I'm finding out ways to quit losing to the devil. 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.000 I'm going to show you this morning. 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.360 I'm trying to paint you a picture. 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:24.960 If you will tap into this source, if you will tap into this channel, if you'll tap into this pipeline to heaven, you can have heaven on earth. 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.360 And I don't care what your circumstances are today. 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.720 You're looking at a man ten years ago who should have lost his marriage. 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.080 My wife was packing and I was excited. 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.320 I wanted her to go. 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.720 You're looking at a man that was filled with anger and rage. 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.639 I'm going to tell you something, I tapped into the Holy Spirit and He set me free. 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.240 I had had addictions and I'm free. 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.080 I'm finding out there's nothing the Holy Spirit can't do. 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.639 It's under resurrection, he's got the ability, and I want every bit of it. 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.200 Smith Willsworth figured it out. 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.759 I'm going to read about every winter I can find. 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.080 Because I'm not quitting until I see it. 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.320 I'm going to see the dead raised. 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.240 You can't stop me. 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.360 I'm the only one that can stop me. 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.480 As long as I tap into him, he's going to raise the dead. 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.759 It's his nature. 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.360 He's going to touch lives. 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.480 He's going to see people saved. 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.279 He's going to do things. 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.159 He's going to heal marriages. 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.039 He's going to heal bodies. 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:22.639 He's going to- That's his nature. 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:23.759 That's what's in heaven. 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:25.519 He's trying to bring heaven to earth. 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:32.960 If you will tap into this, if you'll get this dwelling part, if you will dwell on this dwelling part, it means to inhabit, cohabit. 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.000 It means to remain. 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:39.759 The spirit came on Jesus and looked for, and it's the first time in scripture that he remained. 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.080 And that's the same spirit that wants to come on you and remain. 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.039 He doesn't just want to anoint you, he wants to fill you. 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:51.360 He wants to fill you so full that your clothes will radiate his presence. 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.919 He wants to fill you so full your shadow has power in it. 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:04.639 Smith Wigglerworth used to sit on the train, riding from town to town where he would preach, and people all of a sudden were gathering and he didn't know anything, just reading his Bible, not said a word. 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.200 All of a sudden it starts weeping and say, I need to know the Lord. 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.960 You convict me just by being in your presence. 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.720 Anybody ever said that to you? 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.240 You convict me by being in your presence. 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.960 That's the power of the Holy Spirit. 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.000 Three steps to getting to look in this dwelling place. 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.600 Three steps. 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.360 Three easy steps. 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.639 They go in sequence. 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.440 How many of you know when you put things together? 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.759 Step number one is normally meant to be step number one. 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.399 Not rocket science, they do that for a reason. 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.679 I think it's to trick me most of the time, but it really works. 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.559 If you'll obey the instructions. 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.320 Now listen, these aren't my instructions. 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.000 I didn't create these, okay? 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.039 They came from heaven. 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.120 I just want to point the instructions out. 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.879 Stand in Romans 8, verse 5. 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:57.440 Look at this. 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.200 Instruction number one, you must find and keep heaven's perspective. 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.759 You must find and keep heaven's perspective. 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:04.400 Watch this. 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.559 Romans 8, 5 says, For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh. 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.079 But those who live according to the spirit set their minds on the things of the spirit. 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.119 How many of you see in that scripture there's two choices? 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.799 You can live according to the flesh, or you can live according to the spirit. 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.559 See two choices? 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:24.960 Anybody see three? 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.039 Anyone know of three? 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.640 At the other other services, they didn't either. 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.680 You guys are really smart. 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.279 I'm glad we're up to date. 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.480 Two choices. 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.680 You can live according to the flesh or you can live according to spirit. 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.240 What determines whether you live according to the flesh or whether you live according to the spirit? 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.519 There's a little phrase in there that I want you to underline in your Bible. 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:47.440 Set your mind. 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.480 You know, nobody in the building has any more power over your mind except you. 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.119 No one can control what you think except you. 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.079 If you want heaven on earth, you're step number one, you're going to have to set your mind. 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.720 You are going to have to set your mind. 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.400 I have to set my mind. 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.480 I can have heaven on earth if I will set my mind on what? 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.480 It says right here, on the things of the Spirit. 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.640 Now I wonder what the Spirit is thinking about. 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.200 Well, I'm going to show you. 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.960 You don't have to turn there beyond the PowerPoint. 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:23.359 Like this. 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.559 Colossians chapter 3. 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.039 What is the setting your mind on the things of the Spirit? 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:31.759 If then you were raised with Christ, remember that resurrection power we're talking about? 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.440 If then you were raised with Christ, sounds like the same thing we read in Romans 8. 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.000 Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:46.079 Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth. 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.640 Are you catching it? 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.359 What are you thinking about? 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.799 What are you dwelling on mentally? 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.799 I tell you what you're dwelling on. 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.599 Just listen to your mouth. 00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.720 It'll tell you. 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.480 If you want to know what you're thinking about, just watch your mouth. 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.519 Listen to it. 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.680 Because it'll tell you what you're thinking about. 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.799 As a man thinketh, so is he. 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:10.240 That's what Proverbs said. 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.960 Wisest man that ever lived on the earth said that. 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.680 As a man thinketh, so is he. 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.839 Set your mind on the things above. 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.119 Now watch. 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.440 Jesus, did Jesus ever lose? 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.599 Did Jesus ever lose? 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:26.319 Even when it looked like he was losing, he won. 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:27.279 Did he not? 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.400 I mean when they were crucifying him, devil said, guid him. 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.920 He said, Don't guide me. 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.240 Just wait three days. 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.960 I'm gonna burn your best robe. 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.799 He looked like he lost, but he still won. 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.519 Watch this. 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.720 Jesus in John chapter 5, verse 19 said this. 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:55.839 And Jesus answered and said to them, Most assuredly I say to you, the Son of Man can do nothing of himself, what he sees the Father do, but whatever the Father does, the Son also does in like manner. 00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:02.160 Did you just see right there that Jesus had set his eyes on the Father and watches what the Father? 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.279 Now where's the Father? 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.960 Last time I checked, he was in heaven. 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.559 Is that right? 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.440 You're gonna have to find and keep heaven's perspective. 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.680 And the way you do that is you set your mind in watching in the heavenlies. 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.240 Watch this. 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.119 Verse 30. 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.680 Jesus said, Not only do I see him do things, I can do nothing on myself as I hear, I judge. 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:31.599 Did you just see that Jesus says, I do nothing on myself as I see and as I hear. 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.119 Where? 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.880 In heaven. 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.359 Where's your mind? 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.680 Where have you set in your mind? 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.039 Watch the Holy Spirit. 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.559 This is the one we're supposed to tap into. 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:44.240 Read John 16, 13. 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.799 Watch this. 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.920 However, when he, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth has come, he will guide you. 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:51.359 How many need a guide? 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.640 It's offered. 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:54.960 If you want a guide, a personal guy, he's here. 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.960 He will guide you into all truth. 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:03.839 He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will
