Conscience of your soul is God's plan line as standard for you to live by Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth now let's join the program. Well one thing that you folks don't see that are out there in radio land we get a countdown every day just before we come on the air and Jeff Camp says down for 3 to one and then then we're on you know I think about the space program when they count down and they've got all of you a little bit in the Rock and it's on a it's on the launch pad and they're all over you know the people in the in the spacecraft are all all ready to go but they're what they're looking for is ignition and then that rocket begins to bounce and then it heads right it to the stratosphere and on to an orbit I think about ignition so often that's a point where things change that's a point where power is applied I believe that we Christians need to have an ignition factor by a Holy Spirit who has the power to bring the world to live in our hearts to help us fight the battle of the flesh and if we don't have ignition and Holy Spirit we don't have that power applied then we're just average people studying a historical document and I think the world is saying is that all you Christians do and I think about one man and I wish I could remember his name but he got saved and he came in from a midlife and he said well when do we do this stuff in other words when do we when we pray and see the miracles when doing well you know when you get the power applied here and I look at I look at Christianity like that all the time does that person is speaking to me over television or in person or in a meeting do they have the power do they know how to apply the power and to see things change that decision is made here in Romans 878 are we going to go with the spirit or we're going to go with the flesh and we have to bring the power of the Spirit into a chasm ignition to drive down and to put away those things that are so prevalent in our lives and it's called the flesh the walk of the flesh. We're going to let that rule is we have to make a decision to it's decision time I like the name of Billy Graham's broadcast he's had for so many years the our decision we have to make a decision at some point and bring the power in there that will change things what I'm so sad about Derren is that certain people who get born again they believe it's the end of the line. They believe oh I'm born again now I'm I'm here I'm here I'm here I arrived I did that I did the deal and you remember the story in Acts as Paul was healing and great miracles were taking place this magician saw what was going on and he wanted to pay money good money orders and that can't be bought with money it cannot be bought this Gift of The Holy Spirit cannot be bought with money involved basically said you can go to hell with your money well I mean. What he said you know I mean here we are you well anyway it's like so many people they really believe that just being born again they have arrived and that's just the very beginning we are in the school of sanctification it's absolutely important that we continue on this road and in fact God says here in the fusions one for that we should be holy and blameless before him now can we really achieve that holy and blameless after Paul said Oh wretched man that I am can we actually strive to be holy and blameless in this life and I believe the answer is yes dear and I truly believe that's what this word is for and that's what this school that we're going through is for and it is a school it is the hardest school I've ever been in which I think is really will be in the school for the rest to really we will be and I'll tell you folks how it works you've got to learn to confess to the Word of God because you're going to be content if you're going to be victorious you're going to have to learn to confess the Word of God and it's going to you're going to speak to mounts are going to speak to impossible situations yes and you're going to have to keep your mindset to Jesus here now Jesus how do you and I saw this thing I mean your help you are named Holy Spirit you're here also I need you to direct me to lead me into all truth and what I like about and environment I've just really realize I've got the rain on this I guess finally in my my younger years here that. There is no substitute for truth. Theories there is no substitute for truth it's either true or it isn't and well the world is trying to make you think that there are always turns as they want to get a lot of gray areas here p. Alternative lifestyles and say you know you make up your own god you make up your own rules and you know or you know we're all Zen Buddhists Well no I'm sorry we're not legal by higher power and I want to say this to you folks some of you don't realize that one of the drives behind. Some of these philosophies is that they don't want to submit to a higher power. And they want to run their own lives say well that's really your decision you know and you decide to be a good person and you define good in your own way no Listen Bill Clinton that's not right and we have and I'll tell you so much hurt came into our our society through that administration is is what you mean the data do you didn't do it now which is it and we've got to get down to absolutes absolutes set you free Absolutes don't put you in bondage they give you freedom that's right you really do I was just thinking as a tough message. Right on the money do any of you have as then garden. You know we've got to be very careful very careful that we don't cross the line over into in fact not only worldly but spiritual domain yinz that Satan has. Has he influence in and a lot of that is in these religions like Hinduism Buddhism Oh but they they protect animals and there are so many lies out there and people are beginning to believe the lies they're calling good evil and they're calling evil good and boy if Isaiah 5 isn't right on in this age it will unbelievably you know I'm and I scan our neighborhood I feed the squirrels I've got a squirrel feeder that only squirrel can get into you and I feed the birds and I keep the bird bath full of fresh water but you know some that's not going to get me to heaven that's not you know I enjoy that I knew I enjoy member you know your secular good man with the answer yes oh yeah I'm just set so such a delightful guy you know but folks come and tell you that's not going to get me to heaven you could put squirrels and birds on my tombstone but those squirrels and birds are going to get me to heaven and I love trees and love and trees and hugging trees and I'm going to get me to heaven you know I've got has got about of the Word of God and I've got to go with that and you know when I'm at the end of the string and what are people going to say about Derren he love birds and I played the squirrels you know and I brought some people have that's been in there he'll a-g. Well you know I didn't hear a one time and and the person that died was a homosexual and you know but the partner of this person died and although they were so it's sad to read they've had virgin this world having Aaron Now why would you do the funeral of a homosexual because the Holy Spirit told me to do it and I didn't want to do it but I don't know why did you do it for because he said I want you to go there and present the gospel you did believe me I did it you did it for some Christian friends I did it for you had you through and I love those people and and you know I did I want to do it no. Did I do it. Why did I do it because Holy Spirit said I want you to go and give that funeral message and I want you to present the gospel and I did yesterday and a lot most of those people sat and looked at me like I was a piece of stone but I told them one day you're going to know how to come to Jesus because I've just told to praise God Well here in 1st John 318 it says little children let us not love with Word or with tongue but indeed and Truth and you were just talking about truth dear and we've got to know what the truth is because we've got to deliver the message of Jesus Christ introduced as it says we shall know by this that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before him in whatever our heart condemns us for God is greater than our heart and knows all things beloved if our heart does not condemn us we have confidence before God and I'm introducing this Scripture and it and then it goes on to say whatever we ask we receive from him because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing aside I started with this scripture in 1st John 319 because Romans 8 starts there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus do you know where condemnation particularly comes from and mostly comes from is our very own hearts and those of you listening can understand that you know that yeah I know it makes me feel like crud Sometimes I think I'm totally worthless and I even call myself a scum bollard or you know the worst words in that but you know why that is God has put a conscience and that's and that's the plumb line that's what measures are and their conscience says you're going down the highway of life it says Now don't cross that center stripe this is the right side of the road don't go and don't go in the other side well in traffic we know if you do that you're going to have a head on crash but it's the same thing with our moral natures our conscience is saying don't compromise don't do that to stay away from that stop that stay over. We are and what we say how but it feels so good it tastes so good it looks so good it's is so pleasurable I want to go over there and it's that War of the Worlds the war lords of war the sin versus righteousness but there comes a day Derren there comes a day when we no longer cross that made a lot of straight when we know one no longer are faced with this condemning spirit and I believe it is a spirit and there's a day when we truly believe that Jesus' blood justifies us as if we had and God see this as if we have not seen and we no longer call ourselves you worm or you scum bag or unit or less piece of meat we no longer call ourselves those because because that is slapping God in the face well we no longer condemn ourselves he talked about truth there in John 1613 now we're talking here in this instance about a Holy Spirit when he the Spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all truth. He will guide you in all truth and I'll tell you if you need a Holy Spirit in your life and he can come as simply as asking him if you're born again then you can turn and say I want the 2nd figure that God had in my life I want Holy Spirit to come in and he will but he only comes an invitation he is not a bully and you have to invite him to decide to invite a Jesus in your life then the next step is invite Holy Spirit Well if you call yourself a believer in years still calling yourself a sinner and you and I've heard that dear and I've heard believers columns Well I'm just a sinner no you are not don't say that any longer don't call yourself worthless Don't call yourself a worm it's not that anymore and Romans 81 says there is therefore now no condemnation no condemnation circle that underline that write it on a tablet there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. As set you free from the law of sin and of death this wonderful wonderful thing that Jesus did for us on the cross to bear and it has freed us from the last week am now and I mean to practically here's what happens when you get saved. You're forgiven but you may still feel guilty that is the fault guilt and felt guilt has the same effect on you if you don't rise up and say No listen I'm not there anymore I was forgiven see need to celebrate your conversion Yeah I used to be there used to do those bad things but I don't do those anymore I was so then we have to come against that spirit of faults guilt because it wants to pull us back down and says the devil says Well nothing changed I mean I know what you did I was there when you did all those bad things and he wants to get you to Adana fi with who you were before you came through the cross of Jesus Christ and I've had to say to a lot of people listen if you're still living in the Old Testament it's like Jesus never died as far as you're concerned you don't you don't celebrate your salvation you don't celebrate the fact that you're not that that warm anymore back there in sin you're now saved and there are really 3 times 3 types of guilt you have a child say that's not old enough to really deserve good and evil say the 3 years old Ok but they feel guilty that's false guilt that child is really not guilty and he's really not accountable then when you become an adult you know the difference between right and wrong you know different difference in terms of the laws of the land in the civil courts you know the difference in the morals and moral things that there's the things that you shouldn't do all right and when you do that that's real genuine guilt when you when you commit a sin all right then we have this this skill I'm talking about here this fall to guilt again it's carry over guilt that you need to get away from as a Christian you need to get up and fight that thing say listen that's not a part of my lifestyle anymore I have been forgiven I've been cleansed by the Blood of Jesus I'm a new creation in Jesus Christ and the old is gone and it was kind of taken granted 521 and you need to celebrate the fact and you need to enforce that. Even when you may have friends who want to pull you down say Remember you used to be stolen so years you know you're no better and the rest I was 1st 2nd Christians 517421 asked good 21 is really good. Saying. Anything any man therefore if any man is in Christ he is a new creation God has made you a new creation how Louis of the old is gone and the new is come but you have to fight those feelings of guilt Yes that's right here in Romans 8 verse 3 we see that for what the law could not do weak as it was the law is weak the law the law is the thing that reveals sin in our lives but we are past that we are now under the law of faith the law of works is gone that's performance in the Old Testament but now the what the law could not do God did sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin he condemned sin in the flesh how lujah in order that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh any longer Thank you Lord but according to The Spirit for those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh but those who are courting to the spirit the things of the Spirit for him I will reverse 6 Go ahead of our favorite verse 6 for the mind set on the flesh is death but the mind set on The Spirit is life and peace because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God and I looked up this word hostile Derren in the Greek and it means hatred opposing God I mean this is this is really terrible the mind set on the flesh opposes God It hates God. See I think we need to focus in our. Mental meditations on all that stuff. On the good and not on the bad and many times that again it's a decision we have to decide well I'm I going to focus on my old lifestyle or on my new lifestyle I'm going to go with my old identity or my new identity and sometimes I say to people you know you need to confess the word because Christianity is known as a great confession we need to confess the word to say what does that mean all right let's take a court situation let's suppose that a person has been accused of a crime of standing before a judge and the attorneys and the jury and all this stuff. And the judge says How do you plead. And the defendant who's been charged with the crime says I did it I confessed to the crime. Now that confession means to agree with it means to say my identity. And some people stand of course George I'm tired of fighting it I did kill that person then the judge says are now we're talking about murder here is a Christian if you confess that you're a Christian you're throwing in with the Christians you're throwing in with Jesus you're making that confession of the time Adana firing as one of those I'm identifying him again if you got me right I'm confessing I plead. And you could even say it this way I plead plead guilty yes I'm a Christian as guilty as charged if that's what it is but I. Got my righted Danity here I am saying yes I am a believer in Jesus Christ yes I am born again yes and these parents I just feel so much for them dear and they've got sons and daughters living with them especially sons and they they are disobedient rebellious not honoring dad mom and and the mom says and we've heard this over and over again the mom says now I tell him and I tell him and why doesn't he listen well because his mind is set on the flesh is hostile to work toward God he it can't obey God It isn't able to do so it is not right he will to do so well you're talking to a blank wall here because until the Holy Spirit does something in their lives and I love what you say if you've got a rebellious son or daughter or relative or husband or wife and you're trying to tell him about the things of God You prayed that there is that their heart would be what will their will that's right there will be I believe the devil has incarcerated or controls their will to to be in rebellion so if you're anxious asking a rebellious son or daughter or friend to do something they are paralyzed by that devil controlling and spirit of rebellion they're not able to even do that and that they're not able to give it an Ott do it so I think sometimes you have to remove that person from your space. If they've decided if they've chosen rebellion they've chosen hostility maybe they've chosen blasphemy they want to curse and swear and use the name of your Jesus in vain you have got to get them out of your space whether you like it or not and don't be so bound to the fact will I gave birth to this under this daughter and I mean how can I throw him out and tell you one of the best things you can do is throw him out and bring judgment day to their lifestyle instead of throwing him out maybe there's as I'm giving you an altar made him you be out of this house or a. Straw man that's a different but let me tell you something else and I'm here to try to be so nice and so proper and it doesn't work
