(194) “Expand Your Spiritual Toolset by Speaking in Tongues”

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,280
There are things that God wants us to participate in on earth as it is in heaven.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:13,120
And when we allow His Holy Spirit to speak through us and speak His heart and pray His

3
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:21,400
heart, we are operating with Him, cooperating with Him to bring things into the earth that

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:34,840
need to be spoken into the earth so that the angels can go to work.

5
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,240
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

6
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,240
Welcome to Global Outpouring where we contend for that promise outpouring, we equip for

7
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,840
that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

8
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,200
I'm Philip Bus.

9
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,200
And I'm Sharon Bus.

10
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,120
Welcome to the podcast today.

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,480
We are so excited about what we're going to talk about today because it has everything

12
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,480
to do with contending for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit on all flesh and how we

13
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,720
can all participate.

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,580
Every single one of us can participate in this process because after all, aren't you

15
00:01:12,580 --> 00:01:13,720
and I flesh?

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,300
Yes, we are.

17
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:22,760
When we can participate, we can cooperate with the Holy Spirit in bringing forth this

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:35,720
outpouring of the Spirit of the living God over all people on the earth.

19
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,740
We're so glad that you're with us today on this podcast.

20
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:45,700
We are so pumped, ready for pouring out the things that God has poured into us to share

21
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:51,800
with us, to share with you, uncovering mysteries, uncovering secrets, uncovering things that

22
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,780
we didn't even understand.

23
00:01:54,780 --> 00:02:01,300
But we are encountering the Holy Spirit in a whole new way and we want to share that

24
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,300
with you today.

25
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:06,900
We, well, before we get started, I guess we better say this little thing before we get

26
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:11,700
started, we want to encourage you to go to our website if you haven't already done so

those kind of things so that you can grow with us.

34

37
00:02:55,380 --> 00:03:02,060
These things are there to help you be equipped so that you are ready and prepared for the

38
00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:04,660
things that are coming down the pike.

39
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:10,620
They're coming into our realm, into our existence.

40
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:16,100
We are expecting things from God and we know that there's other stuff happening because

41
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:19,780
the devil knows his time is short and it's really short.

42
00:03:19,780 --> 00:03:22,100
It's really, really short.

43
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,980
And he's shooting with both barrels.

44
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:24,980
That's right.

45
00:03:24,980 --> 00:03:25,980
That's right.

46
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:30,380
You know, sometimes I picture it like, you know, some of those chase scenes with super

47
00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:34,940
duper cars, you know, where the bad guy has oil in the back of his car and he pushes a

48
00:03:34,940 --> 00:03:39,660
button and it puts out an oil slick for the good guy to get, you know, that's what he's

49
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:40,660
trying to do.

50
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:46,460
He's trying to stop us, trying to stop the kingdom of God from coming.

51
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:47,900
But he can't.

52
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,180
He can't.

53
00:03:49,180 --> 00:03:50,180
He's a loser.

54
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:51,180
Okay.

55
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:54,620
He is the forever loser.

56
00:03:54,620 --> 00:03:59,900
And the thing that we're going to talk about today is the power of speaking in tongues

57
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:06,560
and what it will do for you to build you up in the things of God, to equip you, to make

58
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,580
you bold, to give you downloads from heaven, to help you uncover mysteries, all of these

59
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:19,900
things and these are things that the enemy of your soul wants you to never get.

60
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:22,600
So we're going to talk about some of that today.

61
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,140
And the thing that I just discovered, you know, talking about how the enemy of our souls

62
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:32,500
is trying to keep us from getting this.

63
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:39,100
The scripture came to me in my spirit of Ezekiel chapter 28 and how it's talking to the king

64
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,100
of Tyre.

65
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,700
It's a word against the king of Tyre.

66
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,180
It's kind of like a prophecy that is telling what's going to happen to him.

67
00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:52,940
Well then you think at first that it's talking about a person and then it's obvious that

68
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:54,500
it's talking about the devil.

69
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,380
It's not a natural person it's talking about.

70
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:58,380
Right.

71
00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:02,180
And I'm trying to figure out why in the world is this the king of Tyre?

72
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:03,180
The king of Tyre.

73
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:04,180
Yeah.

74
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:05,180
Why is this?

75
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:06,180
Why is this?

76
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:10,300
So there are multiple reasons and I know some of other ones but I'm not going to go there.

77
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:12,940
I'm going to go with what I just discovered.

78
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:17,980
So I'm looking up the word Tyre in the Concordance on my Blue Letter Bible.

79
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:20,180
This isn't the Tyre on your car.

80
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:22,980
Actually this is the British way of spelling.

81
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:24,140
That's true.

82
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:25,140
That's true.

83
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:31,860
It's the city of Tyre, the metropolis of the Sidonians as the Bible puts it.

84
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:32,860
And it's Tyre and Sidon.

85
00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:37,100
You know they're on the Mediterranean coast of it's currently Lebanon but it's part of

86
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:40,580
what's promised to the children of Israel.

87
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:48,820
But the name Tyre comes from a word that also means knife.

88
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:53,180
And we know that the enemy of our souls is the one that's been teaching people how to

89
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:54,180
make war.

90
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:55,180
Yeah.

91
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:56,180
Right?

92
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:57,180
Okay.

93
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:01,220
And that word, the word for knife, it really means rock but it also means like a rock that

94
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:06,140
has been shaped to be sharp like a knife, like flint.

95
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:08,700
Like how they used to make knives.

96
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:09,700
Exactly.

97
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:17,660
And that word comes from the word sur which is the same pronunciation as Tyre in Hebrew.

98
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:27,580
And it means to bind, besiege, confine, cramp, to shut up, to shut in, to enclose, to show

99
00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:31,100
hostility to, to be an adversary.

100
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,940
Well that's one of the names of the enemy of our souls.

101
00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:38,020
In Revelation it talks about the accuser of the brethren.

102
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:39,260
He's our adversary.

103
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:42,940
And that makes a whole lot more sense when you read this now.

104
00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:43,940
Yeah.

105
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:46,860
King of Tyre, it's not talking about a natural king.

106
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:47,860
That's right.

107
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:50,700
It's talking about a spiritual dark king.

108
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:51,700
Yeah.

109
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,100
And in heaven he was the anointed cherub that covered.

110
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:56,100
That covered.

111
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,100
Okay.

112
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:58,980
And that's in Ezekiel 28.

113
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:05,540
So he is trying to cover things up and keep us from discovering things.

114
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:12,060
So one of the things that is so wonderful about the gift of speaking in tongues or the

115
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:15,780
evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit that is speaking in tongues.

116
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:23,500
And to me it's not a hill that's worth dying on to argue about it's the initial evidence

117
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:26,180
of being baptized in the Holy Spirit.

118
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:30,740
I think it probably is, but I don't think it's worth fighting over.

119
00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:32,340
Let's not divide over that.

120
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:33,340
Right.

121
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:41,660
But 1 Corinthians 14.2 says, Paul is talking about tongues.

122
00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:49,380
And a lot of times this chapter is used to keep people from speaking in tongues.

123
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,860
Yeah.

124
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:58,180
Because it's all about, you know, let's keep things in order in church, which of course

125
00:07:58,180 --> 00:07:59,820
we want order in church.

126
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:06,500
And if you really read through this, you'll get it because there's the principle of speaking

127
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:13,980
in tongues as just an exuberance or, you know, you just get really excited in the Spirit

128
00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:17,480
and you just, you can't hold it in and you're speaking in tongues.

129
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,340
And there's a place for that just in the congregation when everybody's doing it.

130
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:27,020
You know, when the Holy Spirit's falling or whatever, there is that place that that's

131
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:29,460
okay, everybody pray in tongues.

132
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:32,800
And that's a corporate prayer.

133
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:39,320
But then there's the speaking in tongues that should be a message from heaven with an interpreter.

134
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:45,780
But there's a praying in tongues that, well, let's just go, let's look at verse 2.

135
00:08:45,780 --> 00:08:50,520
It says, and I'm reading from the Amplified, for one who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks

136
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,820
not to men, but to God.

137
00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:55,040
And that's the first thing.

138
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,460
This is a language for us to speak to God with.

139
00:08:58,460 --> 00:08:59,460
Okay.

140
00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:00,460
Yes.

141
00:09:00,460 --> 00:09:05,420
And we're going to look back at a little history first in a minute, but we'll come back to

142
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,420
that.

143
00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:11,620
For no one understands or catches his meaning because in the Holy Spirit he utters secret

144
00:09:11,620 --> 00:09:15,620
truths and hidden things not obvious to the understanding.

145
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,860
King James talks about he utters mysteries.

146
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:18,860
Okay.

147
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:24,980
So we're uncovering things that have been covered and we don't even understand.

148
00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:31,660
And it's probably best that we don't understand because there are things that God wants us

149
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:35,860
to participate in on earth as it is in heaven.

150
00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:42,260
And when we allow his Holy Spirit to speak through us and speak his heart and pray his

151
00:09:42,260 --> 00:09:50,980
heart, we are operating with him, cooperating with him to bring things into the earth that

152
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:56,720
need to be spoken into the earth so that the angels can go to work.

153
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,260
We have that in Psalm 103 verse 20, where it says that the angels are standing by listening

154
00:10:02,260 --> 00:10:07,180
for and ready to move on the voice of his word.

155
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:08,180
Okay.

156
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:13,180
So when we pray his, when we pray, when we give voice to his word, when we're praying

157
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:19,780
from the Bible, the angels move, they go to work because they hear the voice of his word.

158
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:21,620
They hear the voice of the word.

159
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:29,740
But he is also the word and his spirit, when he prays through us in tongues, is also bringing

160
00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:34,500
forth the word into the earth so that they can go to work.

161
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:38,140
Even if we don't understand, we don't have to understand it.

162
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:44,300
So Paul says in first Corinthians 14, four, he who speaks in a strange tongue or an unknown

163
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:50,060
tongue edifies or builds up and improves himself.

164
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:54,500
And we know that the ones that prophesy or the ones that speak in tongues and bring an

165
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:57,340
interpretation are building up the church.

166
00:10:57,340 --> 00:10:58,780
They're building up the body.

167
00:10:58,780 --> 00:10:59,780
Yeah.

168
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:04,580
And in the passion translation, it says, the one who speaks in tongues advances his own

169
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,380
spiritual progress.

170
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:07,520
Yes.

171
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,800
And that's what this is all about.

172
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,680
We are contending and we are equipping.

173
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:17,620
So in your prayer closet, you need to be praying in tongues.

174
00:11:17,620 --> 00:11:21,140
Let's roll this back to how we got started on this episode.

175
00:11:21,140 --> 00:11:27,580
The last two episodes that we've done with John and Linda Thomas, John shared the story

176
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:33,540
of how he began to pray in tongues an hour a day for 30 days.

177
00:11:33,540 --> 00:11:36,240
And then he did a Daniel fast for seven days.

178
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,820
And God just began to roll off of him addictions.

179
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:45,260
He rolled off of him an addiction to pornography and he rolled off of his wife an addiction

180
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:46,700
to wine.

181
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,980
So there's power in this praying in tongues.

182
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:51,580
Yeah, to change the household.

183
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,260
Exchange the household.

184
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:54,700
And what happened to us?

185
00:11:54,700 --> 00:12:00,340
Well, we just took that as a real challenge because we knew we had to, it's like the word

186
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:05,060
of the Lord to me this last year, you need to step up your game.

187
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:09,420
I think up your game is a phrase we use too.

188
00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:12,100
And that's like in sports and stuff, you have to up your game.

189
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,380
That means you need to improve.

190
00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:20,060
So stepping up, stepping higher, stepping in, come up higher.

191
00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:22,600
You need to come up higher.

192
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,660
And so that was a challenge that I knew was something needed to do, because we all pray

193
00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:28,500
in tongues.

194
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:32,800
Something happens all of a sudden, you just start praying in the Holy Ghost and that,

195
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,780
but they're spending time doing it.

196
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:41,140
That's one thing we haven't done, so we just started doing that an hour in the morning,

197
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:45,700
just getting up and not even together, just in our own prayer time.

198
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,540
We would just pray in tongues for an hour.

199
00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:55,260
And we were praying in tongues some already previous to that, but we increased.

200
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:56,260
We increased it.

201
00:12:56,260 --> 00:13:01,940
And I've been saying that I've been seeing that as a thought comes into my mind that

202
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:07,340
doesn't belong there, I find myself praying in tongues, just speaking to it in tongues.

203
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:10,420
And so my tongues have been increasing as well.

204
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:17,860
But one of the things that Paul says in verse five of 1 Corinthians 14, he says, I would

205
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:21,900
or I wish that you all spoke with tongues.

206
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,740
So this is something for all of us.

207
00:13:24,740 --> 00:13:32,860
But then he goes on in verse 14, he says, for if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit

208
00:13:32,860 --> 00:13:36,060
prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

209
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:40,620
In other words, you're praying something you don't understand.

210
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:43,220
So he says in verse 15, what is it then?

211
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:48,460
I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also.

212
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:52,120
I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also.

213
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,940
And so many times, like if we're in a corporate prayer situation, sometimes if we don't know

214
00:13:57,940 --> 00:14:04,940
exactly what direction to go in prayer, in intercession, we pray in tongues for a little

215
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:11,460
while and then somebody in the group gets a leading from the Holy Spirit.

216
00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:18,100
A scripture will come or a song will come into their spirit or words will come into

217
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:24,780
their spirit, words to pray or words to prophesy or a vision or a vision or word of knowledge

218
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:26,380
or word of wisdom.

219
00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:31,920
Those things are opened up to us as we pray in tongues.

220
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,440
So this is something that all of us should be doing.

221
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,800
And if you haven't got it yet, it's time today to get it.

222
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,740
We're going to pray for you in a little while, but just so that you understand the, we're

223
00:14:46,740 --> 00:14:52,100
going to lay some foundation here to give you a deeper understanding of what this gift

224
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:56,500
is all about and how God wants to use it in your life.

225
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:04,460
So let's go back and even into the Old Testament, Isaiah 28, 11 says, with stammering lips and

226
00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:07,540
another tongue, will he speak to this people?

227
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:15,340
So that's always been shown to me in all my years of study of this and it's taken a little

228
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:19,500
bit out of context, but I think it's one of those things that still fits.

229
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:25,300
It fits that stammering and lips and an unknown tongue describes what you get when you get

230
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:26,580
the Holy Spirit.

231
00:15:26,580 --> 00:15:27,580
Yeah.

232
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:34,580
And in verse 18, you know, this is Isaiah 66, 18, that's in the New King James, for

233
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:37,380
I know their works and their thoughts.

234
00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:43,580
It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues and they shall come and see my

235
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:44,580
glory.

236
00:15:44,580 --> 00:15:45,580
Yes.

237
00:15:45,580 --> 00:15:49,060
And then that happened on the day of the day of Pentecost, right?

238
00:15:49,060 --> 00:15:56,720
When they came from all nations up to the feast and celebrating the feast of Pentecost.

239
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,740
And they all spoke with tongues and they're listening to each other.

240
00:16:00,740 --> 00:16:04,500
You know, all these speaking with tongues and said, aren't these all Galileans?

241
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:06,000
You know, Galilean is the region.

242
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,900
They had their own dialect, you know, and all of a sudden they're speaking languages,

243
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,380
they're speaking their own languages where they came from.

244
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:14,380
Right.

245
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:19,340
Because all these Jews that have come up were those that have been, you know, when the Babylonians

246
00:16:19,340 --> 00:16:26,340
came in and they went into captivity and Ezekiel, he was taken by the Syrians, I think it was,

247
00:16:26,340 --> 00:16:27,340
or the Babylonians.

248
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:29,940
It was the Babylonians and the Syrians.

249
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:34,580
They each took captivity, you know, Israel and Judah.

250
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:38,380
And so, and then from there, they're just scattered all over the world.

251
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:39,380
Yeah.

252
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:40,380
All over the known world.

253
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:45,060
And so they're all back together, you know, they're under Rome, they're under bondage,

254
00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:47,540
but Rome let them keep their feast.

255
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,540
Right.

256
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:52,720
And so here they are coming up from all the nations they've been scattered from.

257
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,780
And we don't know exactly everything they were hearing, but their own, hearing it in

258
00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:57,780
their own language.

259
00:16:57,780 --> 00:16:58,780
Right.

260
00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:04,740
And it's amazing because people can say things, you know, in the spirit like that, and they'll

261
00:17:04,740 --> 00:17:10,700
hear it in their own tongue, but they'll hear it not maybe like we have the English language.

262
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:15,380
We have the British accent and changes all over the UK.

263
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:20,020
You have the Australian accent, you have the American accents, and they're all different,

264
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:21,860
each within their own country.

265
00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:25,540
But they would, many times they would hear something, they hear something in their own

266
00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:29,220
tongue the way they would hear it in their home area.

267
00:17:29,220 --> 00:17:30,220
Yeah.

268
00:17:30,220 --> 00:17:32,300
But not another accent in their home area.

269
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:33,700
You know what I mean?

270
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:34,700
Sure.

271
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,940
It's so precise for them to hear this.

272
00:17:36,940 --> 00:17:37,940
It's true.

273
00:17:37,940 --> 00:17:38,940
You know.

274
00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:44,380
It's really interesting to note in Acts chapter two, because that's where you're talking about.

275
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:51,340
In Acts chapter two, I've heard Dr. Billy Brim talk about how she used to work for Kenneth

276
00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:52,720
E. Hagen.

277
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,860
And he walked into her office one day and he said, have you ever noticed in Acts chapter

278
00:17:57,860 --> 00:18:04,660
two, it says that they heard them speak in their own language?

279
00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:08,740
It's not necessarily that they were actually speaking in their own language, although it

280
00:18:08,740 --> 00:18:09,740
could have been.

281
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:16,740
It could be either way, because we hear testimonies of people that are missionaries to different

282
00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:22,340
places, and they don't have an interpreter or somebody comes as a guest speaker and they

283
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:25,380
don't have a good interpreter and they start speaking in tongues.

284
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:28,900
And the people hear it in their own language, whether they're actually speaking that language

285
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:31,820
or whether they're speaking in tongues, I don't know.

286
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:34,460
But they hear it in their own language.

287
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:41,980
So what's been happening with her and with Dr. Billy Brim in recent, I'm not sure just

288
00:18:41,980 --> 00:18:47,580
how long, I think it's at least two or three years now, that she will speak in tongues

289
00:18:47,580 --> 00:18:49,560
on their prayer call.

290
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,940
And there's a man named Max who has come from Jordan.

291
00:18:54,940 --> 00:18:58,260
And so his native tongue is Arabic.

292
00:18:58,260 --> 00:19:04,020
And when she is speaking in tongues, in tongues, and it sounds to us like tongues.

293
00:19:04,020 --> 00:19:05,020
Yeah.

294
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:10,380
He hears it in Arabic, and he writes down what he's hearing in Arabic.

295
00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:15,220
And often there'll be like a statement and sometimes it's underlined.

296
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:21,780
And then there often will be a scripture reference that describes the thing that was just spoken.

297
00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:24,500
It is absolutely supernatural.

298
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:32,660
And it happens every week that if you go out to Billybrim.org and we'll put a link in the

299
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:40,220
show notes for that, and it's B-I-L-L-Y-E, B-R-I-M dot O-R-G.

300
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:43,100
She speaks, it's under their prayer call.

301
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:47,500
And she speaks in her own tongues.

302
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:51,220
And he gets it in Arabic and then interprets it into English.

303
00:19:51,220 --> 00:19:54,260
It is just so, so remarkable.

304
00:19:54,260 --> 00:20:00,220
So that's yet another version of what happens when we speak in tongues.

305
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:04,860
There are things that are mysteries that God wants us to uncover.

306
00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:06,980
He wants us to know these things.

307
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:11,000
But there are some things that we don't need to know.

308
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,500
We just don't need to know.

309
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:13,500
Yeah, that's true.

310
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:14,500
We can mess things up.

311
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:15,500
Yeah, we can.

312
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:16,500
We can.

313
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:23,380
But that reminds me of Romans 8 and what it says about how the Holy Spirit will intercede

314
00:20:23,380 --> 00:20:28,700
in us and through us for things that we don't know how to pray.

315
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,940
I'm going to read it from the New King James.

316
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:37,840
And Philip, if you see anything in the passion that you want to add, just add that.

317
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:45,020
It says in verse 22, we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs

318
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:47,240
together until now.

319
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:53,260
Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, the first fruits of

320
00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:57,140
the Spirit, the first thing that comes with the Holy Spirit is tongues.

321
00:20:57,140 --> 00:20:59,220
Yeah, the first fruits of the Spirit.

322
00:20:59,220 --> 00:21:04,900
Even we ourselves groan within ourselves eagerly awaiting for the adoption, the redemption of

323
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:05,900
our body.

324
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:12,780
And then verse 26 says, likewise, the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses, for we do

325
00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:16,460
not know what we should pray for as we ought.

326
00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:23,060
But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

327
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:24,780
How does that verse?

328
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:25,780
Verse 26.

329
00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:28,620
How does that read in the passion?

330
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:34,060
And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower

331
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:36,140
us in our weakness.

332
00:21:36,140 --> 00:21:42,700
For example, at times we don't even know how to pray or know the best things to ask for,

333
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:46,860
but the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super intercede on our behalf.

334
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:47,860
Oh, that's beautiful.

335
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:48,860
Yeah.

336
00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:53,580
Pleading to God with the emotional sighs too deep for words.

337
00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:56,100
Growns, okay.

338
00:21:56,100 --> 00:22:02,940
So let me just exhort you that if you don't yet pray in tongues, if it hasn't come to

339
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:06,740
you yet to pray in tongues, and we're going to pray for you to get it.

340
00:22:06,740 --> 00:22:16,580
But if you haven't yet come to that point, you can start by faith when you're praying,

341
00:22:16,580 --> 00:22:24,220
when you're praying, ask the Holy Spirit to just even sigh through you or even groan through

342
00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:25,220
you.

343
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:32,580
Sometimes, sometimes it's like, mmm, mmm, mmm.

344
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:38,060
And that even can give way to speaking in tongues.

345
00:22:38,060 --> 00:22:40,660
But the Holy Spirit knows how to interpret a groan.

346
00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:43,900
Our Father knows what our spirit groaning is saying.

347
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:46,500
He knows our hearts.

348
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:50,180
So if you're praying, especially if you're praying something that you have a little understanding

349
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:55,620
about, a groan says a lot to our Father.

350
00:22:55,620 --> 00:22:59,980
I remember, and this is a little off subject, but I think it goes with it, that William

351
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:07,060
Booth, who was the founder of the Salvation Army, he had someone writing to him and saying,

352
00:23:07,060 --> 00:23:09,660
we have tried everything.

353
00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:12,380
We're preaching the gospel.

354
00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:13,420
We're banging our drums.

355
00:23:13,420 --> 00:23:14,600
We're playing our music.

356
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,060
We're doing all the things that you've told us to, but we're not seeing breakthrough.

357
00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:22,940
And he wrote back to them and he said, try tears.

358
00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:27,900
Because tears, God knows how to interpret tears.

359
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:35,820
He knows how the tears that we cry will write a prayer for God.

360
00:23:35,820 --> 00:23:44,220
And so our groanings, our tears, our sighs, all of these things are an intercession because

361
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:46,820
we don't know how to pray sometimes.

362
00:23:46,820 --> 00:23:52,580
And verse 27 says, now he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is

363
00:23:52,580 --> 00:23:57,480
because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

364
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,860
So if you want to pray the will of God, pray in tongues, you won't miss.

365
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:02,860
You cannot miss.

366
00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:03,860
It's impossible.

367
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:06,640
It's impossible to miss if you're praying in tongues.

368
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,580
And so many times we take this next verse out of context.

369
00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:17,620
We put it by itself, but it fits with the groanings and the intercession of the spirit.

370
00:24:17,620 --> 00:24:21,540
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who

371
00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:24,060
are the called according to his purpose.

372
00:24:24,060 --> 00:24:29,600
For whom he foreknew, remember this is still in context of the spirit making intercession.

373
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:36,460
For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, that

374
00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:41,940
he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

375
00:24:41,940 --> 00:24:47,820
Moreover whom he predestined, these he also called, those whom he called, he also justified

376
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:50,700
and whom he justified, these he also glorified.

377
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:58,980
So understand that when you are praying in tongues, you are praying your destiny.

378
00:24:58,980 --> 00:25:06,020
He designed you, he predestined you, he designed you to be conformed to the image of his son.

379
00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:09,080
He wants us to look like him.

380
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,540
He designed us to look like him.

381
00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:16,260
And we know that when he appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.

382
00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:21,980
He's designed us to work with him that his spirit will be working in us and through us

383
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:28,940
to bring his word into the earth, to bring his glory into the earth.

384
00:25:28,940 --> 00:25:35,660
Remember what John the Baptist said about Jesus in Luke 3, 16.

385
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:38,620
They were asking John, who are you?

386
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:39,620
Are you that prophet?

387
00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:42,120
Are you the Messiah?

388
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:43,820
And he said, no, I'm not.

389
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:45,680
I'm the voice of one crying in the wilderness.

390
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:52,500
But then he goes on to say, I indeed baptized you with water, but one mightier than I is

391
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:57,060
coming, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.

392
00:25:57,060 --> 00:26:00,820
In other words, I'm not even worthy to untie his sandals.

393
00:26:00,820 --> 00:26:05,980
He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

394
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:06,980
Fuego.

395
00:26:06,980 --> 00:26:07,980
Fuego.

396
00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:08,980
Okay.

397
00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:17,060
So let's, let's take that and go back to Acts chapter two.

398
00:26:17,060 --> 00:26:23,620
Acts chapter two comes after Jesus has gone up into back into heaven.

399
00:26:23,620 --> 00:26:26,280
He's gone up in the clouds.

400
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,300
They saw him as he went.

401
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:34,380
He told them, you know, stick around here in Jerusalem because you're going to be in

402
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:36,420
dude with power from on high.

403
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:37,420
Yes.

404
00:26:37,420 --> 00:26:38,420
Amen.

405
00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:39,420
Okay.

406
00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:43,520
So it was like 10 days before the feast of Pentecost, the feast of Shavuot, the feast

407
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,060
of weeks.

408
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:52,260
The Jewish men were commanded to come up to Jerusalem for Passover, for Shavuot and for

409
00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:53,480
Sukkot.

410
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,300
So there's a 50 day distance between Passover and Shavuot.

411
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:02,100
And we know that they went up into Galilee for part of that time and Jesus walked with

412
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,860
them for 40 days and then he went up into heaven.

413
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:07,300
So there's 10 days left.

414
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:12,100
And so he says, just stay in your, don't go anyplace else.

415
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:13,580
Stay in Jerusalem.

416
00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:18,460
And then when the day of Pentecost was fully come, well, now let's talk about what's Shavuot.

417
00:27:18,460 --> 00:27:25,540
Shavuot, the day of Pentecost, the feast of Pentecost is a Jewish feast that commemorates

418
00:27:25,540 --> 00:27:30,260
the giving of the law at Mount Sinai.

419
00:27:30,260 --> 00:27:33,940
So think about Exodus 19.

420
00:27:33,940 --> 00:27:40,820
Think about how the mountain was smoking because this pillar of fire came down on top of it.

421
00:27:40,820 --> 00:27:41,820
And lightning.

422
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:45,940
And lightning and thunder and a shofar blowing.

423
00:27:45,940 --> 00:27:48,580
I never warned ahead of time.

424
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:49,580
Yes.

425
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:52,220
You know, for three days, you know, wash your clothes.

426
00:27:52,220 --> 00:27:53,220
Right.

427
00:27:53,220 --> 00:27:54,220
Prepare yourselves.

428
00:27:54,220 --> 00:27:55,220
Prepare yourselves.

429
00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:56,220
Okay.

430
00:27:56,220 --> 00:27:57,220
Wow.

431
00:27:57,220 --> 00:28:00,980
So Jesus told his disciples to go prepare yourselves.

432
00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:03,740
You are about to have an encounter with God.

433
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:04,740
Talk about a download.

434
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:06,100
I mean, it came down.

435
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:07,820
Oh, yes it did.

436
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:15,220
So in Acts chapter two, it says when the day of Pentecost or Shavuot was fully come.

437
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:22,100
Now remember that the day begins with night as far back as Genesis one.

438
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:24,380
And then the evening and the morning were the first day.

439
00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:26,020
The evening and the morning were the second day.

440
00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:28,820
So day begins with night.

441
00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:29,820
Yeah.

442
00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:30,820
Okay.

443
00:28:30,820 --> 00:28:35,820
So the day of Pentecost began as the sun went down.

444
00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:43,040
And traditionally, at least now, I think they probably did then, they spent the night praying

445
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,180
and reading scripture.

446
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:49,220
So they were preparing themselves for an encounter.

447
00:28:49,220 --> 00:28:53,940
That's how come they were in one place in one accord because they were praying together.

448
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:54,940
Yeah.

449
00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:55,940
Okay.

450
00:28:55,940 --> 00:29:02,380
And traditionally now, at least if you are in Jerusalem at that time, people will be

451
00:29:02,380 --> 00:29:06,020
in their synagogues all night long praying together.

452
00:29:06,020 --> 00:29:13,780
And then while it's still dark, they are headed toward the temple mount, but they can't get

453
00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:15,860
up to the temple mount right now.

454
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:19,820
They have to go to the Western wall, which is the retaining wall of the temple mount

455
00:29:19,820 --> 00:29:22,180
that's the closest they can get.

456
00:29:22,180 --> 00:29:25,320
And they go there to celebrate.

457
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:31,300
But in the days of the book of Acts, they would have gone to the temple.

458
00:29:31,300 --> 00:29:35,660
Because it says that this noise of a rushing mighty wind filled the house.

459
00:29:35,660 --> 00:29:36,660
The house.

460
00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:39,060
And the house is the temple.

461
00:29:39,060 --> 00:29:45,300
Yeah, we've been all this time, you know, because we heard this explained to us.

462
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:51,140
I thought that just makes sense because we think of a hundred, 120 people in this little

463
00:29:51,140 --> 00:29:53,980
upper room and the Holy Ghost falls on them.

464
00:29:53,980 --> 00:29:58,980
And so they have a flame of fire and they run outside, you know, and then 3000 people

465
00:29:58,980 --> 00:29:59,980
get saved.

466
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:00,980
Yeah.

467
00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:01,980
Like how does that happen?

468
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:02,980
Yeah.

469
00:30:02,980 --> 00:30:05,980
But if one, but if they're on the temple mount, right.

470
00:30:05,980 --> 00:30:12,700
Because if you look at diagrams of the temple, it's a big open area on the outside.

471
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:18,300
And you know, an artist proclaim maybe, maybe like a five or six inch little double flame

472
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:21,860
of fire or maybe even two or three inches or two or three inches.

473
00:30:21,860 --> 00:30:26,900
But there are those that have, you know, the Lord has shown them this.

474
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:28,220
It's a lot bigger than that.

475
00:30:28,220 --> 00:30:30,540
I mean, it's a flame of fire.

476
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:36,300
Because the Holy Ghost is like two feet long, like fire, you know, coming down and everybody

477
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:41,140
around, which would have been thousands of people would have seen it.

478
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:45,220
And that's why Peter had an audience and explained what happened.

479
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:48,780
Then he had a boldness because he had the Holy Spirit fall on him.

480
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:54,100
Remember 40 days, 50 days earlier, he denied the Lord.

481
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:56,420
And here he is, 3000 people got saved.

482
00:30:56,420 --> 00:30:59,620
How do you do that within 40, 50 days?

483
00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:00,620
We've had a transformation.

484
00:31:00,620 --> 00:31:01,620
Exactly.

485
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:04,380
And that's just what the Holy Spirit does.

486
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:05,380
Yes.

487
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:06,580
It transforms.

488
00:31:06,580 --> 00:31:08,500
And that makes a whole lot more sense.

489
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:14,060
The fire of God coming down on the temple mount where thousands of people see it and

490
00:31:14,060 --> 00:31:15,660
experience what's going on.

491
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:17,340
And then they hear all the tongues.

492
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:18,340
Yes.

493
00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:19,340
Wow.

494
00:31:19,340 --> 00:31:20,340
Yes.

495
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:23,860
Because these people had come from all of those nations because they were commanded

496
00:31:23,860 --> 00:31:28,140
to come for Passover, come for Pentecost, come for Sukkot.

497
00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:35,780
Now they may not actually do that every year, but probably if they came for Passover from

498
00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:39,820
far, far away, they probably would stay until Pentecost.

499
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:44,660
So these people had come from all these nations where they'd been dispersed.

500
00:31:44,660 --> 00:31:45,660
They were born there.

501
00:31:45,660 --> 00:31:46,660
They grew up there.

502
00:31:46,660 --> 00:31:52,780
They hadn't returned when the other Jews had returned, when the other Israelites had returned.

503
00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:55,920
And so they're coming from these nations.

504
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,740
And it was like they were a seed of what's coming now.

505
00:32:00,740 --> 00:32:01,740
What's coming next.

506
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:02,740
Yeah.

507
00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:07,300
Because Peter was talking about the quote from Joel chapter two, where I will pour out

508
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:09,900
of my spirit on all humanity.

509
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:10,900
All humanity.

510
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:11,900
That's our scripture.

511
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:12,900
Yes.

512
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:18,780
And so he's saying that here's all these people from all these nations.

513
00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:22,180
This is that that's spoken of by the prophet Joel.

514
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:24,580
But if this was a seed form.

515
00:32:24,580 --> 00:32:29,140
Then what we're going to have now is on all flesh.

516
00:32:29,140 --> 00:32:30,140
Yeah.

517
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:39,380
And in the gospel of Mark, in chapter 16, verses 15, 17, 18, he says to them, go into

518
00:32:39,380 --> 00:32:40,380
all the world.

519
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:43,380
This is after Jesus is resurrected.

520
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:48,260
And before he just before he ascended up, go into all the world and preach the gospel

521
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:49,980
to every creature.

522
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:52,620
And these signs will follow those who believe.

523
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:55,060
Okay, the Holy Spirit's not been poured out yet.

524
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,740
You know, that's coming.

525
00:32:56,740 --> 00:33:01,580
So these signs will follow them who believe in my name, they will cast out demons, they

526
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:02,980
will speak with new tongues.

527
00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:06,300
And that's what happened, you know, just later.

528
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:09,580
They will take up serpents and they drink anything deadly.

529
00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:11,060
It will by no means hurt them.

530
00:33:11,060 --> 00:33:14,400
They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

531
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,580
But the key here is where so many denominations have missed it.

532
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:22,900
These signs will follow those who believe.

533
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:23,900
Right.

534
00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:25,540
Whose report will you believe?

535
00:33:25,540 --> 00:33:26,540
There you go.

536
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:32,140
Do you want to go back 2000 years here, read the report of the words of Jesus to those

537
00:33:32,140 --> 00:33:33,140
who believe.

538
00:33:33,140 --> 00:33:39,020
If you believe the Bible, you believe his word, you can believe that speaking in tongues

539
00:33:39,020 --> 00:33:41,460
is of God, it's not of the devil.

540
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:42,460
Amen.

541
00:33:42,460 --> 00:33:45,900
Because those that speak it's of the devil, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

542
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:48,540
I mean, that's an expression we use here in America.

543
00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:51,260
I shot myself in the foot, that means you can't do it.

544
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:55,220
You're jumping around and holding your foot, you can't do nothing, you know.

545
00:33:55,220 --> 00:34:00,900
But they have denominations have literally shot themselves in the foot, totally distracted.

546
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:03,540
They don't have power to do anything.

547
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:06,380
They don't have the Holy Spirit moving in them.

548
00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:09,100
They're fighting the very thing that can save them.

549
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:10,100
That can give them power.

550
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:11,100
That can give them the power.

551
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:12,100
Yeah.

552
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:13,100
And that's the Holy Spirit.

553
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,100
Yeah.

554
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:20,260
If you have enough faith for salvation, it's the same faith for receiving the Holy Spirit.

555
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:22,220
It doesn't take any more faith.

556
00:34:22,220 --> 00:34:23,220
It comes as a package.

557
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:24,220
It's a gift.

558
00:34:24,220 --> 00:34:25,220
It's there.

559
00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:26,220
It's a gift.

560
00:34:26,220 --> 00:34:27,220
Yeah.

561
00:34:27,220 --> 00:34:30,540
I mean, all the gifts of the Spirit, the nine, it talks about the nine fruits of the Spirit.

562
00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:33,380
There's actually more than that, you know, probably.

563
00:34:33,380 --> 00:34:36,780
That's how we categorize them, you know.

564
00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:43,900
But to have the fullness of what God has for you, you really need to believe that God will

565
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:44,900
give it to you.

566
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:45,900
Mm hmm.

567
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:46,900
Yeah.

568
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:48,500
And then that comes through the Holy Spirit.

569
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:49,500
Exactly.

570
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:50,500
Yeah.

571
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:54,460
When I got filled with the Holy Spirit, you know, I was a teenager, it was during the

572
00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:55,700
charismatic move.

573
00:34:55,700 --> 00:35:01,720
So this is probably about 1969, 68, 67.

574
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:04,580
This is when it was just starting, I believe, about 67.

575
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:05,580
Yeah.

576
00:35:05,580 --> 00:35:07,540
You know, Holy Spirit's being poured out.

577
00:35:07,540 --> 00:35:11,240
We're at our camp, youth camp, and the power of God is falling.

578
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:15,020
People are getting filled with the Holy Spirit, and God just used Malcolm Smith.

579
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:18,980
He was an amazing man of God and wrote a book on blood covenant.

580
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:21,820
It was really, really amazing.

581
00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:22,940
And it even surprised him.

582
00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:26,740
And I remember talking to him years later at the Christian Booksellers Convention.

583
00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:28,260
We met him there.

584
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:30,460
And he says, I remember that camp.

585
00:35:30,460 --> 00:35:33,140
I just flew in from New York, and I was tired.

586
00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:37,420
I said, I want to just preach something easy and then just go rest.

587
00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:40,380
And the power of God just hit, you know.

588
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:42,620
It's all week it was there.

589
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:46,740
And I tried and tried to get the Holy Spirit, you know, anything I need, you know.

590
00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:47,740
I never got filled.

591
00:35:47,740 --> 00:35:51,500
And all around me, people are getting filled with the Holy Spirit.

592
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:53,480
And it never happened to me.

593
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,540
And so it happened.

594
00:35:54,540 --> 00:36:01,340
So I was about 12, 22, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, about 14 years later.

595
00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:05,320
You know, and I'm getting prayed for for the Holy Spirit.

596
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,140
And you know, and I'm just out on the floor, you know, and just speaking in tongues.

597
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:13,260
And when I got filled with the Holy Spirit, you know, it was just such a supernatural

598
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:14,340
thing.

599
00:36:14,340 --> 00:36:16,700
My mouth was moving all on its own.

600
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:17,700
And this was coming out.

601
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:22,580
And I thought this is just a mind blower, you know, because I wasn't trying or nothing.

602
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:23,580
It just happened.

603
00:36:23,580 --> 00:36:24,580
Yeah, God took over.

604
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:28,660
God just sovereignly did that for me, you know, and all that.

605
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:30,500
And that's when I kind of woke.

606
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,180
I came off the floor a while later.

607
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:34,380
I don't know how long I was down there.

608
00:36:34,380 --> 00:36:36,500
Just staggered over to Sharon.

609
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,180
You know, I said, how'd you like to get engaged?

610
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:43,620
You know, and I'm half drunk, you know, and she's just I never would have done that in

611
00:36:43,620 --> 00:36:44,620
my right mind.

612
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:50,620
But God had to do that because he had a speed that he wanted things to work at.

613
00:36:50,620 --> 00:36:54,000
And we couldn't let, you know, time and get in the way.

614
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,460
So God just God just did that for me.

615
00:36:57,460 --> 00:36:58,980
Yeah, yeah.

616
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:01,100
And sometimes that's the way it happens.

617
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:06,100
Sometimes people just get that kind of a download where, boom, it hits.

618
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:07,500
Now, how about your dad?

619
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:08,500
Oh, my dad.

620
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:12,100
Yeah, he was trying to get filled with the Holy Spirit.

621
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:13,340
And it didn't happen.

622
00:37:13,340 --> 00:37:16,260
But he woke up in the night and all of a sudden just praying in tongues.

623
00:37:16,260 --> 00:37:21,660
Yeah, after after seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit for months and months and months,

624
00:37:21,660 --> 00:37:23,700
he woke up in the night.

625
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,660
He woke himself up speaking in tongues.

626
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:26,660
That's amazing.

627
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:28,700
And you know, you have nothing to do with it.

628
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:29,700
Yeah.

629
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:33,740
But now for me, when I was prayed for to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, it was the

630
00:37:33,740 --> 00:37:36,420
first I'd heard that there was such a thing.

631
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:37,660
I didn't even know about it.

632
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:42,720
You know, I was raised kind of in Baptist, kind of evangelical church.

633
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,980
My dad was Dutch Reformed.

634
00:37:44,980 --> 00:37:47,660
And this wasn't part of our paradigm.

635
00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:51,220
And so I heard somebody speaking in tongues.

636
00:37:51,220 --> 00:37:53,580
Well, I knew that she had been to Russia.

637
00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:57,100
So I was assuming that she had learned to speak Russian.

638
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,820
And I didn't know.

639
00:37:58,820 --> 00:38:03,740
And whoever prayed for me, you know, they explained that that this baptism in the Holy

640
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:07,260
Spirit would give you the gift of speaking in tongues.

641
00:38:07,260 --> 00:38:13,140
And I was told, just start praising the Lord in your own language.

642
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:19,920
And the more you praise, you're going to run out of words because our God is so great and

643
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,860
so wonderful.

644
00:38:21,860 --> 00:38:23,700
And that's exactly what happened.

645
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:26,980
I just began to speak in tongues because I had run out of words.

646
00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:29,100
A lot of words.

647
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:34,100
I remember hearing someone in prayer line, we were praying for people to receive the

648
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,740
baptism.

649
00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:38,460
And she said to this person, you have to get out of your head.

650
00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:39,460
Oh, yeah.

651
00:38:39,460 --> 00:38:44,340
I thought, oh, that is so good because you can't think about this as a natural thing

652
00:38:44,340 --> 00:38:46,380
because it's a supernatural thing.

653
00:38:46,380 --> 00:38:47,380
Exactly.

654
00:38:47,380 --> 00:38:51,300
And so you just have to throw all your reasoning out the window and all your questions and

655
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:52,300
all that.

656
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:53,300
Yeah.

657
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:56,140
And just kind of like you say, just praise God and just.

658
00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:57,140
Yes.

659
00:38:57,140 --> 00:38:59,700
You know, and just start praising and.

660
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:00,700
Yes.

661
00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:01,700
Boom.

662
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:06,580
So if you already have the baptism in the Holy Spirit and you're not praying in tongues

663
00:39:06,580 --> 00:39:12,900
as much as you want to, or maybe you just have a few syllables and you just repeat that

664
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:15,300
same thing over and over again.

665
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:23,420
Just think about how in heaven, the angels are saying, holy, holy, holy, holy.

666
00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:24,740
And that's all they're saying.

667
00:39:24,740 --> 00:39:25,740
Yeah.

668
00:39:25,740 --> 00:39:29,980
And maybe, maybe you're saying something like that and it's OK that you're just saying a

669
00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:35,620
few syllables, but there is more and you can have more and you can trust God to speak through

670
00:39:35,620 --> 00:39:40,220
you more and just lean into him, lean into him.

671
00:39:40,220 --> 00:39:44,540
But if you haven't received yet, and we're going to pray for you in a moment, if you

672
00:39:44,540 --> 00:39:53,260
haven't received yet, you need to understand this, that when you were saved, what you couldn't

673
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:57,940
have been saved without the activity of the Holy Spirit in you.

674
00:39:57,940 --> 00:40:06,460
But know this, that Jesus said in Luke 11, 9 through 13, he said, So I say to you, ask

675
00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:08,540
and it will be given to you.

676
00:40:08,540 --> 00:40:10,500
Seek and you will find.

677
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:13,580
Knock and it will be opened to you.

678
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:20,300
For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks, it will

679
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:21,720
be opened.

680
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:27,740
If a son asked for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone?

681
00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:34,180
Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead, instead of a fish?

682
00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:37,940
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

683
00:40:37,940 --> 00:40:43,940
If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will

684
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:49,260
your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

685
00:40:49,260 --> 00:40:51,220
So it's a done deal.

686
00:40:51,220 --> 00:40:52,620
He's going to give it to you.

687
00:40:52,620 --> 00:40:54,340
He wants to give it to you.

688
00:40:54,340 --> 00:40:59,620
He wants you to have it because he wants you to be able to communicate with him in a deeper,

689
00:40:59,620 --> 00:41:07,660
more intimate way and co-operate with him, work with him, co-labor with him in the earth,

690
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:13,020
connected to heaven, just like Jesus taught his disciples to pray on earth as it is in

691
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:14,100
heaven.

692
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:19,680
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven as we pray in tongues,

693
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:25,380
as we pray with the Holy Spirit, we're speaking on earth what needs to be spoken to make it

694
00:41:25,380 --> 00:41:27,420
come to pass.

695
00:41:27,420 --> 00:41:30,920
Just like when God said, let there be light and there was light.

696
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,700
It's a freebie from the Holy Spirit.

697
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:33,700
Yes, yes.

698
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:35,740
But we're designed, we're predestined.

699
00:41:35,740 --> 00:41:40,260
This is part of being conformed to the son of God.

700
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:44,540
Just like, remember we talked about groaning in the spirit.

701
00:41:44,540 --> 00:41:45,660
Groaning in the spirit.

702
00:41:45,660 --> 00:41:47,820
Jesus groaned.

703
00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:50,500
Remember at Lazarus' tomb.

704
00:41:50,500 --> 00:42:01,140
So let's pray, but understand that you speak in faith, you start making sounds in faith,

705
00:42:01,140 --> 00:42:06,020
just like when you said in faith, Jesus, come and be my savior, come and live in my heart.

706
00:42:06,020 --> 00:42:07,880
And he came.

707
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:15,780
In faith, you start to make sounds and trust that the Holy Spirit is going to turn that

708
00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:19,500
into a language that he is going to speak through you.

709
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:24,860
You do the speaking, it's your tongue, it's your vocal cords, it's your will that you

710
00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:31,840
are applying to give to the Holy Spirit and trust that that Holy Spirit coming up in through

711
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:37,660
you is going to bubble up like springs of living water out of your belly.

712
00:42:37,660 --> 00:42:38,660
Yes.

713
00:42:38,660 --> 00:42:39,660
Amen.

714
00:42:39,660 --> 00:42:41,380
Rivers, rivers of living water.

715
00:42:41,380 --> 00:42:42,380
Hallelujah.

716
00:42:42,380 --> 00:42:43,380
Hallelujah.

717
00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:47,620
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are praying for our listeners right now.

718
00:42:47,620 --> 00:42:54,100
And for those who need to come up in the amount that they are speaking, Lord, we bless them

719
00:42:54,100 --> 00:43:01,660
to receive right now, right now, to receive of your spirit in a greater measure and an

720
00:43:01,660 --> 00:43:06,460
outpouring that they've never experienced before, that they're going to go deeper into

721
00:43:06,460 --> 00:43:09,980
your word, that they're going to go deeper in your understanding of your word, you're

722
00:43:09,980 --> 00:43:15,580
going to start opening your word to them in amazing ways, and they're going to be able

723
00:43:15,580 --> 00:43:21,420
to increase in the amount of speaking in tongues and they're going to pray things that they

724
00:43:21,420 --> 00:43:22,780
don't know how to pray.

725
00:43:22,780 --> 00:43:25,980
They can pray for their families, they can pray for their loved ones, they can pray for

726
00:43:25,980 --> 00:43:31,780
their nations and nations of the world that your kingdom will come on earth as it is in

727
00:43:31,780 --> 00:43:32,780
heaven.

728
00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:40,180
For those who have not yet received, just receive it right now, receive this Holy Spirit.

729
00:43:40,180 --> 00:43:44,020
Father, we're asking you to baptize that listener right now.

730
00:43:44,020 --> 00:43:45,020
Yes, Father.

731
00:43:45,020 --> 00:43:46,020
Thank you, Father.

732
00:43:46,020 --> 00:43:47,020
Pour your spirit.

733
00:43:47,020 --> 00:43:50,980
Just, you know, Jesus breathed on his disciples and said, receive the Holy Ghost.

734
00:43:50,980 --> 00:43:55,100
So if Jesus exhaled, what did they have to do to receive?

735
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,040
They just had to inhale.

736
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,140
And that's what happened on the day of Pentecost.

737
00:43:59,140 --> 00:44:03,820
There was a great inhalation of the fire of God coming down on them.

738
00:44:03,820 --> 00:44:10,900
So receive of that fire right now, receive of that anointing and begin to give him your

739
00:44:10,900 --> 00:44:13,500
lips, give him your sounds.

740
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:21,900
Just start making sounds and give him those sounds and let him form them into words, into

741
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:27,980
a language that will begin to uncover mysteries, that will begin to build you up in your spirit,

742
00:44:27,980 --> 00:44:35,380
that will begin to build you up in your relationship with him and transform that whole atmosphere

743
00:44:35,380 --> 00:44:40,820
around you that will drive out the devil, that will bring the glory of God into your

744
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:42,600
life like you've never known before.

745
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,900
Just receive it right now.

746
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:44,900
Breathe it in.

747
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:45,900
Hallelujah.

748
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:46,900
Hallelujah.

749
00:44:46,900 --> 00:45:01,900
Phillip, let's just speak in tongues for a moment or two.

750
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:08,700
Father, we thank you.

751
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:09,700
We thank you.

752
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:10,700
We thank you.

753
00:45:10,700 --> 00:45:11,700
We praise you.

754
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:15,620
We give you glory for what you're doing in this listener's life right now in the name

755
00:45:15,620 --> 00:45:17,020
of Jesus Christ.

756
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:23,300
Pour out your spirit on this person and on all flesh in the name of Jesus Christ.

757
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:25,020
Amen.

758
00:45:25,020 --> 00:45:26,660
Amen.
