(231) “Give Your Bod to God” (Part 1)

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320
our sounds and our songs and our motions

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,080
because the Holy Spirit is inhabiting us.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,240
When we have given ourselves to God,

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,600
when we've given our bod to God.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,640
Give your bod.

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Our bod is expressing

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,520
under the leading of the Holy Spirit.

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:30,640
There's something about giving ourselves more.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120
God promises in Joel 2, 28,

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,480
to pour out his Spirit on all humanity.

11
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,280
Welcome to Global Outpouring.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,880
Are we content for that promised outpouring?

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,080
We equip for that outpouring

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,800
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,920
I'm Philip Bus.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,200
And I'm Sharon Bus.

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,120
Welcome to the podcast today.

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,040
We're going to bring something

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,400
that is a follow up to last week's episode

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,040
with Dean Braxton.

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,760
If you were listening last week

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880
and if you didn't go back and listen to it,

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,240
Dean was sharing with us

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,760
some of the things that he's been through physically

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,600
and how the Lord spoke to him

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,680
that he hadn't given his body to the Lord yet.

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,520
And that brought some very deep conviction

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,600
and repentance.

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,760
And we found it very sobering.

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,480
So we are going to go a little deeper

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:28,240
into give your body to God.

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,800
So before we get started,

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,960
just want to encourage you,

34
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,400
if you hadn't already done so,

35

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,760
and make sure that you have gotten yourself

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,320

00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,880
Keep informed about the things

42
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480
that are happening with this ministry,

43
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,600

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,120
and just lots and lots of things

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
that are available to you on our website

46
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,200
and things that we're doing,

our events as they're coming up.

48
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,520
And especially, especially, especially,

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,760
you need to make sure

50
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,200
that you have on your calendar,

51
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,040
May 21st through 24th, 2025,

52
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,320
for Global Outpouring Convention 2025

53
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,720
in St. Louis, Missouri,

54
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,400
at the St. Louis Airport Marriott Hotel.

55
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,360
Please, this is going to be a family camp.

56
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,280
It's going to be for all ages.

57
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,640
Every age will be ministered to.

58
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,200
We want you to come with your family.

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,640
If you don't have family,

60
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,160
come and get connected

61
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,720
and we'll become family to you.

62
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,840
It's going to be an amazing time

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,840
in the anointing of the Lord.

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,680
So today we're going to talk about

65
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,280
giving your body to God.

66
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,920
So Philip, what do you remember about that?

67
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,400
It was our youth group and our church.

68
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,560
And I was probably maybe a freshman

69
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,520
in high school if that, you know,

70
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040
so that was that was the late 60s,

71
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,640
actually early 70s at the expression

72
00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:59,880
that was going around the church.

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,640
Give your body to God.

74
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,640
Of course, not a lot of them did.

75
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,320
It's just expression, you know.

76
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Yeah, I mean, it was it was cool.

77
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,800
It was our slang in those days.

78
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,240
We use the word body

79
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,760
when we were talking about our bodies.

80
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,560
I mean, this is back when you had used the word cool

81
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,080
and you had the word groovy.

82
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120
Yeah, right. Groovy, we kind of lost.

83
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Yeah, cool, cool.

84
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,320
I don't know what happened to groovy.

85
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,640
I thought it was pretty cool.

86
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,760
Well, at least we still have cool.

87
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,680
Anyway, the thing that we were hearing

88
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,400
in those days was talking about Romans,

89
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960
chapter 12 and verse one.

90
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,320
I want to read it out of the amplified classic.

91
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,320
I appeal to you, therefore, brethren,

92
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160
and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God

93
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480
to make a decisive dedication of your bodies,

94
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680
presenting all your members and faculties

95
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560
as a living sacrifice,

96
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,080
holy, devoted, consecrated and well pleasing to God,

97
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,360
which is your reasonable, rational,

98
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400
intelligent service and spiritual worship.

99
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Now, we heard sermons about that back in those days,

100
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,960
and maybe you've heard sermons, too, as you well should have.

101
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,400
If you haven't, you should.

102
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,080
But I want to go a little deeper with the kind of things

103
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400
that Dean was sharing with us last week

104
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,520
about how he was really touched by the Lord.

105
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,360
And I'm telling you, for me, that was very sobering.

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Yeah.

107
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,800
And I felt like, okay, I feel like we need to go deeper.

108
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,600
There's something deeper here that we can follow into.

109
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,720
I remember, and I've told this story before

110
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,160
and even fairly recently, that when I was 18 years old,

111
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,640
I heard the Holy Spirit say, I want you,

112
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,680
I want you 100% and I want you right now.

113
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Well, 100% means 100%, right?

114
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,200
You know, we think of ourselves

115
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,320
as being spirit, soul and body.

116
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,080
And as the Lord spoke to Dean,

117
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,320
you have given me your spirit

118
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,680
and you've given me your soul 100%

119
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,280
and you're working on it.

120
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,640
You're bringing it into heart.

121
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,880
That's the hardest.

122
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080
But you never gave me your body.

123
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,440
And so we've just been meditating on this.

124
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,640
And this scripture here that I just read,

125
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,920
make a decisive dedication of your bodies,

126
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,160
presenting all your members and faculties

127
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120
as a living service.

128
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Now it starts out with,

129
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
I appeal to you therefore, brethren.

130
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
So whenever you find the word therefore,

131
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,240
you have to go up above it

132
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,680
to find what the therefore is there for.

133
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680
There's a reason for this word being there.

134
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640
So what is it that Paul is building on

135
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,240
when he's saying, for this reason,

136
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,240
I'm asking you, I'm begging you, please,

137
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,240
present your bodies, a living sacrifice.

138
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160
So if we go back up into chapter 11,

139
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,480
what do we know about chapter 11?

140
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440
Well, that deals a lot with Israel,

141
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,200
the covenant that God has with Israel

142
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,560
and how we're grafted in.

143
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Yes, exactly.

144
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,120
And how in verse 28, it says,

145
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,800
as concerning the gospel,

146
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,720
they are enemies for your sakes.

147
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,160
Because a lot of the Jewish people,

148
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,720
particularly the Pharisees,

149
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,520
were rejecting Jesus.

150
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,120
Their leaders did, so they did.

151
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,960
You know what I mean?

152
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,720
We'll just follow the leader.

153
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800
So as concerning the gospel,

154
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,440
they're enemies for your sakes.

155
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,040
They were persecuting the Christians.

156
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,800
But as touching the election,

157
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,120
they're beloved for the Father's sakes.

158
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Okay, if you think back about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

159
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,240
and all the promises that were made to them

160
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,720
and to Jacob's sons,

161
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320
who became the fathers of all the tribes,

162
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,160
the promises for the land,

163
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,520
the promised land, were made to these people.

164
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,000
And, you know, Joshua brought them in from Egypt.

165
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Moses had gotten them out of Egypt.

166
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Joshua brought them in,

167
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,920
and they were given the law to live by,

168
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,400
because there was a promise.

169
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,600
Because there was a promise there.

170
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Yeah, and God keeps his promises.

171
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,800
God keeps his promises,

172
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
because he keeps his covenants.

173
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Okay, he made covenantal promises.

174
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Verse 29 says,

175
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,320
"'The gifts and callings of God are without repentance.'"

176
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,160
In other words, they're irrevocable.

177
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,840
That's why you see the nation of Israel today

178
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,880
that's based mostly on the tribe of Judah,

179
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,440
and they are more so.

180
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,080
They're more creative than any other people group.

181
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,200
They're more brilliant than any other people group.

182
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,000
They have more awards and more discoveries.

183
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,120
They're the best lawyers.

184
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,560
They're the best doctors.

185
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,720
I remember seeing a page of all the couple pages,

186
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,880
or more of all the Jewish inventions.

187
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,720
That was just astounding.

188
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,760
They're more so.

189
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,600
More so, yeah.

190
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,880
These gifts and callings are irrevocable.

191
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,080
Yeah. Okay.

192
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720
So even if they're not looking at the new covenant

193
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
the way we look at the new covenant,

194
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,520
and even if they're walking as atheists,

195
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,640
the covenant of God toward them,

196
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,640
the mercies of God toward them are still for them.

197
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,880
Yeah. Let me paraphrase if I can.

198
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,800
This is Paul,

199
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,120
because like the believers,

200
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,720
the Christians say, well, they're not part anymore,

201
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,600
but what it says in 16,

202
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,840
you might say the branches were broken off,

203
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,720
so I'm grafted in.

204
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Well, because of unbelief, they're broken off,

205
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480
and we stand by faith.

206
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,880
So don't be high-minded, but fear.

207
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,200
For if God spared not the natural branches,

208
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,720
which is Israel, take heed lest he also spare not you.

209
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Exactly.

210
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760
This is an eye-opener,

211
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,800
and a lot of churches don't have understanding on Israel,

212
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,160
and they don't read Romans 11.

213
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Right.

214
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,080
So I don't want to get too deep into Romans 11,

215
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,280
but I want to bring out this about verse 30.

216
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,280
It says, for you in times past have not believed God,

217
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,600
or not obeyed God, as it says in the margin,

218
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200
yet have now obtained mercy.

219
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,040
Okay?

220
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,880
Mm-hmm.

221
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Remember in verse one of chapter 12,

222
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,480
I beseech you therefore, brethren,

223
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,080
by the mercies of God.

224
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,920
Okay?

225
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,880
So let's look at these mercies.

226
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,400
You've obtained mercy through their unbelief.

227
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Even so have these now not believed or not obeyed

228
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000
that through your mercy,

229
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,880
they may also obtain mercy.

230
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000
This word mercy here,

231
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600
there's two words for mercy in this part of the chapter.

232
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,320
One of them is eliu, and I'm no Greek scholar,

233
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,200
but just from what I can read about these words, eliu,

234
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,200
it means to be compassionate, to have pity, to show mercy.

235
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,080
This is what God has given to us.

236
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,920
We have obtained mercy, this compassion, extended help,

237
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240
and the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation

238
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,280
of the Hebrew scriptures.

239
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,320
This is the word that's used for chanan,

240
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,280
which means to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior.

241
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,120
In other words, God, our great Father,

242
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,200
is bending down in his kindness to extend mercy to us

243
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,360
who don't deserve mercy.

244
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Oh, wow.

245
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,880
So then it goes on to say in verse 31,

246
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440
that through your mercy, your elios,

247
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,600
and this is kindness or goodwill towards the miserable

248
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,120
and the afflicted, joined with the desire to help them.

249
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Okay, so as we look at people who need mercy,

250
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,480
whether we're talking about the Jewish people,

251
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,920
whether we're talking about Muslims,

252
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,320
whether we're talking about Buddhists,

253
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
whether we're talking about atheists, Hindus,

254
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120
whosoever, the neighbor down the street,

255
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,480
when we recognize that they are miserable in their sins,

256
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,480
our mercy, our kindness extended toward them

257
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,000
gives them mercy.

258
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,840
And then in verse 32, it says that God has concluded them

259
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,560
or shut them up together in unbelief

260
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,960
that he may have mercy upon all.

261
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640
So it's like he's putting everybody into one sack

262
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,640
so that they are like one body of miserable people

263
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,560
that need mercy, so that he can have mercy on all of them.

264
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,880
It's a beautiful thought.

265
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,840
And then verse 33 is I think a key verse here.

266
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Oh, the depth of the riches,

267
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,960
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God,

268
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,240
how unsearchable are his judgments

269
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520
and his ways past finding out.

270
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,520
So it goes on to verse 36, for of him and through him

271
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,560
and to him are all things to him

272
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,960
and to be glory forever.

273
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360
We did a whole podcast on that one verse recently.

274
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,520
So this is what the therefore is there for.

275
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400
It's about the mercies of God.

276
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,280
And this is a little bit different word for mercy

277
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,840
in chapter 12, verse one.

278
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,400
I beseech you therefore, brethren,

279
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,800
by the mercies of God.

280
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,120
This mercies is oik tirmos.

281
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,840
And it's the Septuagint word for rahamim.

282
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,280
Now rahamim is one of the most important words.

283
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160
It's the first word that God says about himself

284
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120
when Moses is up in the mountain with him

285
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520
and asking to see his glory.

286
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,200
The first thing he says about himself,

287
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,520
he shouts his name, roars his name, Yehovah, Yehovah!

288
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,120
And he uses this word rahum.

289
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,440
So he's saying about himself that he has mercies

290
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,920
like a mother has mercies for the child of her womb.

291
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,200
It's womb mercies.

292
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
So this is by the mercies of God.

293
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,520
So this is how God looks on us as his children.

294
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,520
He's looking on us as the offspring of his very being,

295
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,480
okay, his innermost being as though it were a womb.

296
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,920
Okay, he's got that kind of mercies.

297
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,920
So by those mercies, Paul is begging us,

298
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,560
present yourselves, present your bodies, okay?

299
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,240
So let's look a little deeper

300
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,440
at what this body thing means.

301
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,520
We're being presented,

302
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,200
we're presenting our bodies a living sacrifice.

303
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,160
Now it's interesting that a sacrifice

304
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,440
is something that's done in a temple.

305
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,200
In a temple, right.

306
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,640
So where do we see that our bodies are the temple

307
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,040
of the Holy Spirit?

308
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,680
Yeah, Paul says that.

309
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:38,000
In 1 Corinthians 6, 15 to 20,

310
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,080
and this is out of the Passion Translation.

311
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Don't you know that your bodies belong to Christ

312
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,640
as his body parts?

313
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560
Should one presume to take the members of Christ's body

314
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,000
and make them into members of a harlot?

315
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Absolutely not.

316
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Aren't you aware of the fact

317
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520
that when anyone sleeps with a prostitute,

318
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,280
he becomes a part of her and she becomes a part of him?

319
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,440
For it has been declared, the two become a single body,

320
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600
but the one who joins himself to the Lord

321
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400
is mingled into one spirit with him.

322
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,080
This is why you must keep running away

323
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,640
from sexual immorality.

324
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,800
For every other sin a person commits

325
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,000
is external to the body.

326
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,680
But immorality involves sinning against your own body.

327
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple

328
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,160
of the Spirit of holiness who lives in you?

329
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
You don't belong to yourself any longer,

330
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,440
for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit,

331
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,160
lives inside your sanctuary.

332
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,760
You are God's expensive purchase,

333
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
paid for with tears of blood,

334
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000
so by all means then use your body to bring glory to God.

335
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,520
So give your body to God.

336
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640
Exactly, exactly.

337
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,280
So our bodies are sanctified

338
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,240
by the presence of the Holy Spirit,

339
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
and that's why we have to keep them holy.

340
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,240
We have to flee sexual immorality, that's a huge thing,

341
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,880
especially these days.

342
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,760
These days the world has transformed the minds

343
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080
of people who are learning from the world,

344
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,040
learning from TikTok, learning from YouTube,

345
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,160
learning from movies, learning from TV,

346
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,360
learning from whatever's on the internet,

347
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800
learning from illicit books and pornography

348
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,880
and all those kind of things.

349
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560
All of those things are defiling

350
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,840
and they don't belong in our bodies.

351
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,240
When you allow your eyes to take in something,

352
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,080
that's part of your body, right?

353
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120
When you allow your eyes to take in pornography,

354
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,560
you are polluting your body.

355
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,600
You're polluting the place

356
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800
that is inhabited by the Holy Spirit.

357
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Now it's interesting to me that the word in Greek

358
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,720
that's used here for the word temple,

359
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,400
that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,

360
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,160
that word refers to the most holy place,

361
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,000
like the Holy of Holies in the temple.

362
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,760
If you look at the temple of God,

363
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680
like Solomon's temple and Herod's temple and so on,

364
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,080
this is the word that's used

365
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,840
to express the Holy of Holies.

366
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240
So that's even more so.

367
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800
But it's interesting to me that Romans 12.1

368
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,400
talks about being a living sacrifice.

369
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,840
Well, sacrifices are something

370
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,320
that are done in a temple.

371
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,480
Right.

372
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760
So even when the high priest goes once a year

373
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,360
into the Holy of Holies,

374
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880
first of all, he puts incense in there

375
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,040
to burn and fill the place with the smoke of the presence,

376
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,040
to protect him from going in there

377
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
because he's a mortal too.

378
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,560
A mortal, not immortal.

379
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,280
He's a mortal, but he has to come in with blood then,

380
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,840
a sacrifice.

381
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Well, we know that Jesus did the blood sacrifice for us.

382
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480
So because of his sacrifice that he did for us,

383
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,480
we who have asked him to come and be Lord of our lives,

384
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,120
we have this connection to him

385
00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:14,640
that should make us want to present ourselves

386
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,240
a sacrifice all the time, every day, 24-7.

387
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,240
So Romans 8 also goes into the idea of the difference

388
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,840
between the physical body and the spirit.

389
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,000
And what I want to do ultimately

390
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,440
is bring some more information from Dean Braxton

391
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,880
from his book, Deep Worship in Heaven, in just a moment.

392
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,200
But I want to grab this connection that we have

393
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,880
with the Holy Spirit to our bodies.

394
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,680
Because this is what's been working in me

395
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,800
since we had this conversation with Dean last week.

396
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600
It's like, as I've given myself more to the Lord,

397
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,880
I'm finding that I'm feeling more of the Holy Spirit

398
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,880
operating in me in a more conscious way than before,

399
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,240
which I'm always longing for more, right?

400
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,360
Yes.

401
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,120
So I'm finding this difference that's taking place in me

402
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,440
like an awareness, more of an awareness

403
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,120
of the presence of God.

404
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,880
So in Romans chapter eight, it's talking about

405
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,800
there is no condemnation, and here's another therefore,

406
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040
so you have to go back up into Romans seven,

407
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,480
that it's because of Jesus Christ

408
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,480
that we can serve the law of God with our minds.

409
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,600
And then the flesh is busy with the law of sin.

410
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,280
So what I'm seeing here is this transfusion.

411
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320
Is that even the right word?

412
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,560
Like a transfusion of the Spirit into our bodies,

413
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
that we walk in the nature of the Spirit.

414
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
Verse one of chapter eight,

415
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,800
there is therefore now no condemnation to them

416
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,160
which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh,

417
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,400
but after the Spirit.

418
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,400
So the more we cultivate a submission of our bodies to God,

419
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,880
the easier it is to let his Spirit lead us.

420
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Yes, that's true.

421
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,880
You get the flesh under control,

422
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,360
it's easier to follow God.

423
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:22,160
Yeah, because you're letting the Holy Spirit control you.

424
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,800
Instead of, you know, lots of times

425
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,600
we try to keep our flesh in check by our flesh, duh.

426
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Duh, yeah.

427
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,600
It doesn't work very well.

428
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,200
You know, we try to do it by setting our will.

429
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880
I'm not going to do this, or I am going to do that

430
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960
like your New Year's resolutions.

431
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Yeah, or like something fasting for something.

432
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,400
If you're just fasting,

433
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,400
but you know, you have maybe the right intent

434
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,320
with what you're fasting for.

435
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,840
But if you're not spending time with the Lord,

436
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,880
you know, it's kind of like a hypocritical fast maybe.

437
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,920
It's a little strong,

438
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440
but it's kind of like what Jesus says.

439
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,800
They fast and let their faces be long,

440
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,640
and you know, until I'm fast and you know,

441
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,000
I'm on day number five and I feel it, you know.

442
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600
Of course, you know, you can do that

443
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,320
if somebody asks you, why do you feel like this?

444
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Or, you know, and all that, but you don't broadcast it.

445
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,600
It says, he'll reward you in secret.

446
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Right.

447
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,280
You know?

448
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,120
But the thing that I find sometimes,

449
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:26,560
at least when I'm fasting, when I'm fasting by the Spirit,

450
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,360
I've done the other kind too,

451
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,640
that the more you submit yourself to the Lord,

452
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,640
the more his Spirit comes out in front.

453
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,360
And that's really what we're after,

454
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,720
is the interaction between the Spirit and the flesh, you know?

455
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,600
Verse nine of Romans eight says,

456
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,200
but you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,

457
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,760
if it is that the Spirit of God dwells in you.

458
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,640
So in other words, are we letting the Holy Spirit

459
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,640
so indwell us that he's making a difference in us?

460
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,240
Are we letting him work all those fruit

461
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,840
of the Spirit into us?

462
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280
You know, the fruit of the Spirit is just

463
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,800
as wonderful as the gifts are.

464
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,120
If you don't have the fruit of the Spirit,

465
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,360
you're gonna be a clanging symbol.

466
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,200
Yeah.

467
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,040
You know?

468
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,280
So moving on, the idea is that,

469
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480
if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you.

470
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,760
Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,

471
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,640
he's none of his, and if Christ be in you,

472
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,120
the body is dead because of sin,

473
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,600
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

474
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,200
Now, a lot of times before this conversation

475
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,080
we had last week, we have had the idea that,

476
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,440
okay, the body's dead, we just need to treat it

477
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,080
like it's dead and, you know, kind of abuse it.

478
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600
We have had a tendency to abuse it,

479
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960
but I think that this has been a wake-up call

480
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,600
to see that our Father really loves our bodies too,

481
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,160
and that he wants us to present our bodies

482
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,840
in a way for him to work with.

483
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,640
Kind of different than what we've been thinking, you know?

484
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,000
There's a scripture in the Psalms that says,

485
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,360
"'As a father pities his children,

486
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,440
"'so the Lord pities them that fear him,

487
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,800
"'for he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.'"

488
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,640
Okay?

489
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,400
So he's being this pitiful, kind, compassionate father

490
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,120
where, you know, we've kind of thought

491
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,360
that we just need to take a whip to our bodies.

492
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,560
Because, I mean, there is a scripture about,

493
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Paul talks about keeping his body under.

494
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,360
And don't they do that in some Catholic nations?

495
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:45,440
Yeah, the Philippines.

496
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,000
Philippines, flagellation.

497
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,920
Yeah, they self-flagellate, they crucify themselves

498
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,520
on crosses, you know, during Holy Week.

499
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,440
That's not what the Lord is after.

500
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,640
But what he's after is our submission of our bodies

501
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,480
to him so that he can operate in them.

502
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,600
So verse 14,

503
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,120
"'As many as are led by the Spirit of God,

504
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,680
"'they are the sons of God.'"

505
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,680
That's that yos-sonship that is the mature son

506
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080
that knows how the father operates

507
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760
and can operate in the family business

508
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,160
as a mature son able to write checks

509
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,440
and make contracts for dad, you know?

510
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,920
Those kind of things.

511
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,760
So what I wanted to share beyond these scriptures

512
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,160
is a few thoughts from Dean Braxton's book,

513
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,280
"'Deep Worship in Heaven.'"

514
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,280
I just love this book.

515
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,000
And I've been listening to the audible version of it

516
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,200
over and over.

517
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,240
And the more I listen to it, the more I get.

518
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,880
And the more I'm seeing that this is helping

519
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,120
to answer the prayer,

520
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,920
"'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth

521
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,840
"'as it is in heaven.'"

522
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,080
Because when we can see into heaven how it is in heaven,

523
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,160
we get an idea of how it should be on earth.

524
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,240
Here's how we should be operating on earth

525
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,320
because his spirit is working in us.

526
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Yeah.

527
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,200
So in this book,

528
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,080
he describes what worship is like at the throne of God

529
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,080
and how everything in heaven is alive and intelligent.

530
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Every blade of grass is alive and intelligent

531
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,600
and can talk to you.

532
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,440
The mountains, the atmospheres, the colors,

533
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
every single thing is an entity unto itself.

534
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,240
And it is totally individual and totally operating

535
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,640
with the presence of God, operating together.

536
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,960
And he talks about how everything brought its own praise

537
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,360
and everything had its own sound.

538
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:52,720
Everything had its own motions

539
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000
that were individually expressed.

540
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,800
You know, like when the music is going,

541
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,680
some people wanna get up and dance.

542
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,600
Other people wanna tap their toe.

543
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,120
Other people wanna sway.

544
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,360
Other people want to do something,

545
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,880
but they haven't let their bodies do it.

546
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,680
And those are some of the people I wanna speak to

547
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,120
and encourage you, go ahead and do what your body wants to do

548
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,040
in worship to the Lord.

549
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,200
Because every movement, every single movement

550
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760
is its own expression of worship to God.

551
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040
And he sees it that way and he loves it.

552
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,680
He absolutely loves it.

553
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080
So obviously I can't read you the whole book.

554
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,680
I would like to, but we're not gonna take time for that.

555
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,880
But I wanna just read a few paragraphs here and there

556
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,880
that give you an idea of here's how God sees

557
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,720
worship in heaven.

558
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,720
So let's translate that into our bodies here on earth,

559
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,160
letting Holy Spirit work through us,

560
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760
letting Holy Spirit express through us,

561
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,480
letting Holy Spirit give us a new mindset.

562
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Because that's the next verse in Romans 12, verse two.

563
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,400
It says, be not conformed to this world, but be transformed.

564
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,560
And that's like metamorphosis,

565
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,040
like going from being a caterpillar into a butterfly.

566
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,920
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind

567
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,960
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable

568
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,800
and perfect will of God.

569
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,280
So we want to participate with the Holy Spirit on earth

570
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,360
as it is in heaven.

571
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:28,160
So let me just give you some picture

572
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,800
of what it's like in heaven.

573
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,800
So here's Dean talking

574
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,520
and he's watched these other beings giving praise to God.

575
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Now it's his turn.

576
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:40,880
Here I was about to give him praise,

577
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,920
a personal song of love.

578
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,560
I was so excited.

579
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,440
It brought me exceptional delight

580
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,240
in what I was about to do.

581
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,160
I was going to tell my father how much I loved him.

582
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,440
All the time that the angel of God was calling me to praise,

583
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
I had been looking forward to that moment

584
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,880
that I would glorify my father.

585
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Being produced in me was a song of love for him.

586
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,160
As this was taking place,

587
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,360
I was moving into a more joyful moment, a happier moment.

588
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,760
I was moving again from glory to glory.

589
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,320
As the praise song developed in me,

590
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,760
I was moving deeper into his glory.

591
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,600
It was not that the moments before were not great.

592
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,400
It was just that the next occasion of singing to my father

593
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560
was making every second in heaven even greater.

594
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,720
It was like the moment I had been in before had not existed

595
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080
because the moment I was about to enter into

596
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,200
was more remarkable.

597
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,520
It was like I had been so alive before,

598
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,440
but now I was about to access newer life.

599
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Things seemed to get better and better every moment in heaven

600
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,280
as I worshiped my father.

601
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,640
I knew this was happening because of each sound

602
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,840
of pure praise that was coming out of me.

603
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,560
As each love song and real love tributes came out of me,

604
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,720
I was fulfilling my purpose in worshiping him.

605
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,200
I was complete in praising my father

606
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,240
along with all of his creations.

607
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,080
The Holy Spirit residing on the inside of me

608
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,280
was enhancing the praise that was coming out of me.

609
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,960
This great tribute that I was presenting to my father

610
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,000
and great zeal in a love song

611
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,360
joined with his passion

612
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,160
and I had the privilege to give it to him.

613
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,080
It was much more than any love song I had ever sung before.

614
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600
I had only one agenda with this song of devotion

615
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,000
that was to honor him.

616
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,320
I desired to honor him

617
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920
as I had never honored my father before.

618
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,120
I wanted to sing to him how much I welcomed his love for me.

619
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:41,120
I knew in that worship of praise that he cherished me.

620
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280
I wanted my song to bring my father great joy.

621
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,960
It was my personal song of love to him.

622
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,200
I was expressing my affection for him in a song

623
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,920
because I could.

624
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840
It did not matter who else could hear me give my gift

625
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,480
to the gift giver.

626
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,200
I received a gift from him,

627
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,000
a gift of love created by my father for me.

628
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,800
He also created me for his gift of love and I knew it.

629
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,320
I wanted to thank him with my praise song.

630
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,600
I understood my voice was a gift from him.

631
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760
He gave me a voice to thank him.

632
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,600
He created my voice to rejoice in him.

633
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,160
My voice of love was made for my father to hear me.

634
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,480
What a gift.

635
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360
He would listen to me.

636
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720
I had received the pleasure of knowing

637
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
that he is hearing me.

638
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,000
My father is hearing my love song made for him.

639
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,520
I was satisfied with the two of us.

640
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,560
He was hearing me and knowing how much I loved him.

641
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Now was the time to stand.

642
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,080
As I started to rise to my feet

643
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,480
and stand with my arms at my sides,

644
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,320
my excitement grew as I moved inch by inch upward.

645
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,720
As I moved to stand to my feet,

646
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,120
I knew I was moving into a posture,

647
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,680
a stance that had been appointed by God Almighty

648
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,080
for me to take on in worship.

649
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,240
I then started to move my arms,

650
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,520
lifting them from my sides.

651
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,920
As I elevated them upward with my palms open,

652
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,720
I knew I was going to give my praise to my father as a gift.

653
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,120
Standing with arms up and palms open heavenward,

654
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,160
I knew I was ready to worship him.

655
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,000
This position was my gift to him,

656
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,760
my stance of praise to my father at that chosen moment.

657
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,320
Now, I just, I wanna back up and say that before that,

658
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,760
he was prostrate on the floor before the Lord.

659
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440
And he had his hands extended out,

660
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040
giving praise just in that expression

661
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,780
of his posture on the floor.

662
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960
Deep within me was a substance made to present

663
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,480
to my father in love.

664
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,920
What it was, I have nothing on earth to compare it with.

665
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,760
I just knew that it was only for my God.

666
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,640
From this inner part of my inner being

667
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,440
was a sound of praise.

668
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,700
The Holy Spirit on the inside of me helped me to make it,

669
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:57,260
and it came rolling up out of my eternal body

670
00:30:57,260 --> 00:30:58,760
with great joy.

671
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Everything that is passed on the inside of me

672
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,800
expressed extreme happiness.

673
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,780
It was as if the substance of praise

674
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,480
was moving from the core of my spirit

675
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,220
and passing the inner parts of me

676
00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:12,200
on its way to its destiny.

677
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,000
It seemed to give out life in a greater way.

678
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,520
It was like this praise song on the inside of me

679
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,840
had become my food in heaven.

680
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,960
As it passed each part of my inner being

681
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,560
on its way out of me,

682
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560
everything within me was cheering it on

683
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,560
as it moved up through me.

684
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,320
This tribute ran through me for my mighty father,

685
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,440
the one who created me, the one who loves me,

686
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,640
the one who cares for me,

687
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,240
and the one who had brought me there

688
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,640
and would never let me go.

689
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320
As this sound of pure love moved within me

690
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,360
to a place to be launched,

691
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,240
I experienced another expansion of excitement.

692
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760
As this praise song advanced upward,

693
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800
there seemed to be an eagerness from it,

694
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,600
and me, to be presented to my Father Almighty.

695
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,960
As my mouth was opening,

696
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,600
just the very motion of the opening of my mouth in worship,

697
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,560
I was filled with pure joy and love.

698
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,800
That movement of my upper lip,

699
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,720
separating from my bottom lip, was worship.

700
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,960
All of a sudden, my tongue started to form sounds,

701
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,880
and as I was ready to send forth a love song,

702
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,120
a song of true adoration, a song of praise,

703
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,760
a song of me giving myself to my Father in worship,

704
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,160
my mouth seemed like it had its joy,

705
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,960
its vibration of gladness,

706
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,120
and it trembled with pure joy.

707
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,560
It did this as I was forming it

708
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120
to release my song of praise.

709
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Just as this song of praise seemed to jump

710
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,800
from my tongue in joy,

711
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000
another song was rising within me.

712
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040
It was following after the first.

713
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,040
It was like the first song was pulling

714
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,880
the next praise song out of me.

715
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,040
My lips again had great joy in being part of this new song.

716
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600
This tribute and song also launched itself

717
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000
in its joy towards my Father.

718
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,240
These songs of praise that were produced in me

719
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,320
seemed to become faster and faster

720
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,120
as each left my mouth toward the throne of God.

721
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,600
The sounds of praise were coming from my tongue

722
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,440
and my lips with such happiness.

723
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
This joy was happening because I was able to tell him

724
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,720
how much I loved him in song and sound.

725
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,720
The gratitude towards my mighty Father

726
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,680
I could now express in song and music.

727
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,200
And he goes on to tell about how these sounds

728
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,200
that came out of him were joined by the atmospheres

729
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,040
and the colors and even the water in heaven

730
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,360
were joining their praise to his praise.

731
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,480
That's just beautiful.

732
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,360
Yeah, yeah.

733
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,320
And it's so hard to picture, you know.

734
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,360
I'm trying to comprehend what he actually saw.

735
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000
Yeah, I'm just gonna read just a little more.

736
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,200
I'm skipping a good bit.

737
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:43,760
Yeah.

738
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,680
Now it was my turn to bow before him

739
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,400
and give him honor with my actions and with my gestures.

740
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,480
I lowered my hands and my arms to my side slowly.

741
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120
It was like I was moving in slow motion.

742
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Then I took my hands and brought them together

743
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,280
as if praying to my Father.

744
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760
I was not praying, but that is how I wanted

745
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,200
to honor him with my hands.

746
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,520
I then started to bow my head

747
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,680
and experienced much reverence for him

748
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,480
as I made that motion of lowering it in praise.

749
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,880
Do you see what I'm trying to get to

750
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,480
that we begin to see that our sounds

751
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040
and our songs and our motions

752
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,400
because the Holy Spirit is inhabiting us.

753
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640
When we have given ourselves to God,

754
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,080
when we've given our bod to God.

755
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,880
Give your bod.

756
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:32,880
Our bod is expressing under the leading of the Holy Spirit.

757
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,720
There's something about giving ourselves more,

758
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,120
more so than we ever have before.

759
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200
And you can feel that more when you're worshiping.

760
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:41,760
Yeah.

761
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,680
I think it used to be leading worship,

762
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,960
you know, your concentration.

763
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,760
You do anyway.

764
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,960
You have to look at chords.

765
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,520
Mm-hmm.

766
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,920
You know, you're looking at notes maybe and all that.

767
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,080
But you have to kind of let your spirit go to just be free.

768
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,480
You know, and sometimes you close your eyes

769
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,280
and you might mess up a chord, who knows.

770
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,200
But, you know, you just go on.

771
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,480
It's true. It's true.

772
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,440
And you don't stumble.

773
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Secrets of a worship leader.

774
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,440
Confession of.

775
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,000
Yeah.

776
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,840
So he goes on to say, I knew it brought joy to my father.

777
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,600
And we have to get that.

778
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,040
We have to get it that the things that we do

779
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,720
when we're in a worship service,

780
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:22,720
and we're just, you know, sometimes it's we're doing stuff by rote.

781
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:23,280
Mm-hmm.

782
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,080
And that is not what we were born to do.

783
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,040
You know, in a lot of your denominational churches,

784
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,640
they do the doxology.

785
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Yeah.

786
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,760
I love it.

787
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,200
So right after the offering.

788
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

789
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,720
It goes back.

790
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,440
Everybody stand, the piano organ hits the chord.

791
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:42,800
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

792
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,520
And we love it.

793
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,400
We love to sing it.

794
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,440
But how many people realize what they're singing?

795
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,880
I know.

796
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,680
Creatures here below.

797
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,480
Here we are.

798
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,080
You know, we don't have a comprehension of his glory.

799
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,800
Mm-hmm.

800
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,640
Because we go by what we feel.

801
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,360
Yeah.

802
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,720
Unless, you know, you can see your eyes are open

803
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:02,400
that you can see in the spirit.

804
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:02,960
Right.

805
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,560
You know, it's just like, wow.

806
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,960
And people that do that, the experiences,

807
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,400
they can see angels and.

808
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:08,960
Yeah.

809
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,240
What's going on in heaven?

810
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:13,360
Like Dean, I remember he was sitting on the stage once.

811
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000
He says, you know, I can I live in two realms.

812
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,320
I live in two realms a lot of time.

813
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
I'm watching what's going on in the audience.

814
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,400
He wasn't the speaker, but I'm watching what's going on in heaven.

815
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,240
Because he's been there.

816
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:26,880
Right.

817
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,360
You know, and he has that direct connection.

818
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,080
Exactly.

819
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,720
Hotline.

820
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:35,040
So as we give our body to God, even when we're singing something

821
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,880
that we sang a hundred thousand times already without really getting it.

822
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:41,360
Yeah.

823
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,400
Now we can start to get it.

824
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:42,960
Now to get it.

825
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,760
That this is bringing real genuine praise to our heavenly father.

826
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,200
And he is enjoying it.

827
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,720
And, you know, let our hearts be joined to it.

828
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:56,400
Let our hearts be connecting with our father while we're doing this.

829
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,040
So let me just read a little more.

830
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,680
I knew it brought joy to my father.

831
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,600
All I could do was put a smile on my face.

832
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,320
It was not just any smile.

833
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,640
It was a smile of knowing I had brought joy to the one who made me glad.

834
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,440
I knew from that moment that joy was and is a part of me.

835
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:23,440
I could now rest in that joy forever because of the happiness I brought to my father.

836
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,920
So that brings us back to last week's podcast with Dean about the importance of rest.

837
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,160
Being a part of our authority.

838
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,400
That's so good.

839
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,960
As we rest in him, as we trust in him.

840
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,360
It's the interaction that we have with him that increases our authority.

841
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:41,860
Yeah.

842
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,680
You know, sometimes you hear people have an experience and they're flat on their back and

843
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,000
then they're quiet enough, you know, because they're not moving around.

844
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,960
They can't, you know, and they can hear God better.

845
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,120
And sometimes I've heard people say, you know, God, let this happen to me so I would hear him better.

846
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,600
You know, God doesn't do it to you, but he lets things happen.

847
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,520
Yes, he puts us in a position where we have an opportunity.

848
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,800
You have to hear it.

849
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,300
Yeah.

850
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,480
Every terrible thing has a door to God in it.

851
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:14,980
Wow.

852
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,240
So I just want to finish with this.

853
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,960
I've skipped a whole bunch and it's about dancing before the Lord.

854
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,600
So it's my turn to dance.

855
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Now it became my turn to stand up to meet the others in the sky to dance.

856
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,720
I started to lift off the ground and into the atmosphere of heaven.

857
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:39,680
I too was being carried upward by the sounds of praise coming from the music of the skies,

858
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,600
the voices of honor coming from the children of God and the music crafted by the precious creations of God.

859
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:52,000
As I took my place, I started to dance with the atmospheres, trees, grasses, mountains,

860
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,400
flowers, and much, much, much more.

861
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,360
I danced in celebration to my father because of what Jesus had done.

862
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,160
Everything about me wanted to dance.

863
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,800
I seemed just to vibrate with love and joy for my father.

864
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,400
There were no words on earth created to give even a close description of how I danced in praise.

865
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,080
My dance style was very multifaceted in itself.

866
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,520
I did not want to stop.

867
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:25,760
I, a creation of God and a child of the Almighty, had every reason to dance in praise to my Creator.

868
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,560
Beautiful.

869
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,840
You know, let everything that has breath praise him.

870
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,200
For he's the Lord.

871
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,280
And that's about giving our body to God.

872
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,800
Our body has breath.

873
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:42,320
So that's why we are connected in life to him.

874
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,960
And because we've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,

875
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,440
and because we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony,

876
00:39:51,440 --> 00:40:00,960
we have an opportunity to go beyond what our minds have allowed us to do before.

877
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,360
Because there's more.

878
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,040
There's always going to be more.

879
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:12,400
And I just want to challenge us all to give our body to God in a whole new way.

880
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,800
I've got way more material on this that I think we can go into next time.

881
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,880
And I just want to pray.

882
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,480
Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for this challenge

883
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:31,920
that you have given to us to enter into a new mindset of what it means

884
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,880
to give ourselves to you as a living sacrifice.

885
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Lord, you are the one who lives inside of us.

886
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,400
And we are clothed in you.

887
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,800
We're clothed in your righteousness.

888
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,640
We're clothed in your glory.

889
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Lord, help us to grasp even more day by day in the way that we give ourselves to you, Lord,

890
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:02,400
that your purposes will be accomplished in us daily as we give glory to you

891
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,320
for what you have done for us to redeem us from the curse of the law,

892
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:12,080
to redeem us from the fallen ways that our bodies are accustomed to.

893
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Lord, we just thank you that you are giving us a glimpse into heaven

894
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,440
so that we can live on earth as it is in heaven.

895
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,040
In Jesus' name.

896
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:22,320
Amen.

897
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:22,820
Amen.
