00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
the more we give ourselves, but the more we give our body to God, the spirit, soul and body, really,
2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:14,640
the more he's going to be able to bring us into that place of maturity and bring us into that
3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,840
place where we're flowing with him and we're letting his power work through us.
4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:35,600
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out his Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring.
5
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,240
Are we content for that promise outpouring? Are we equipped for that outpouring so that we may engage
6
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,600
in that very outpouring? I'm Philip Bus. And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.
7
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,960
We're going to continue with the subject that we started really two episodes ago with Dean Braxton,
8
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,440
where he was explaining what happened when he had another episode where we almost lost him and how
9
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:08,480
God challenged him. You haven't ever given your body to me. So our last episode was give your body
10
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:19,840
to God part one. And this is give your body to God part two. Thank you so much for joining us today.

25
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:54,000

26
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,680
we were talking about how Paul said to the Romans in chapter 12 verse 1, I appeal to you therefore,
27
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,520
brethren, and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God to make a decisive dedication of your
28
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,880
bodies, presenting all your members and faculties as a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated,
29
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,920
and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable, rational, intelligent service and spiritual
30
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:27,760
worship. Is that amplified? It sure is. How could you tell? And we also talked about how in 1st
31
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Corinthians 6, 19, specifically, it talks about our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit
32
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,040
and how that word temple actually is the word that's used in Greek to express the Holy of
33
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,360
Holy's place. That's just amazing. Yeah. So when he comes to live inside of us, we don't want to
34
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,320
put him in a closet. We want to put him in the most important, most significant, most exalted place
35
00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:01,440
in our lives. And lots of times we haven't been so good about keeping him at the very center of
36
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:09,680
things, but he wants us to understand that he designed us. He made Adam in his image.
37
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Mm-hmm. We are sons and daughters of Adam. Yes. And we are also in our father's image. And he
38
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:27,600
designed us in the most amazing, remarkable ways to work with us, for us to be co-laborers with him,
39
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,760
to co-operate in the earth with him. And so much of the time we have missed it. And we just,
40
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:41,920
we just think in earthly terms. We think of the worldly way of thinking. Yeah. Even in the churches,
41
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,200
it's just like, unless you really studied the scriptures or hear it from the pulpit,
42
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:53,120
you know, the dedication that God really expects what Paul did, went through and what he did and
43
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:59,760
what he became and what was he doing making disciples. Right. And so, you know, there's
44
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,280
denominations, well, disciples of Christ were called that or something like that, but are they?
45
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Well, I mean, it's just like we've lost the contents of what that means. It's not just a
46
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,720
name on it while I'm a believer and, you know, but it's to give your body to God. Yes. 24-7,
47
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,120
be available for him. Right. And you don't hear that, not even in big circles. No, no. And it's
48
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,240
about a whole dedication, spirit, soul and body. Yeah. And so many times, like the Lord said to
49
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,600
Dean, you have given me your spirit a hundred percent. You've given me your soul a hundred
50
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,800
percent. You're working on it. You're working on, on it by reading the word and praying and things
51
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,360
like that and getting your soul regenerated, but you never gave me your body. Yeah. And the reason
52
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,440
we can say these things is just through our, my 40 years over a ministry, you know, here with
53
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,080
Endtime Handmaidens Global Outpouring, we have met hundreds, hundreds of people that have
54
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,520
visitations out of body. I mean, some were dead on the slab, you know, came back and
55
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960
somewhere, somebody was praying for them. Sure. You know, lots of those. There's a lots of those.
56
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,120
And the stories we hear, you know, of the, those that just have a, they just know Jesus, well,
57
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,120
he lives in their heart and that it was like in Tremuros. Everybody loves the book. That book
58
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,920
that we published, we published that. And, but when Jesus approached her, she didn't even recognize
59
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,160
him at first. She did not have a real strong relationship. She knew Jesus, but she didn't know
60
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,040
him. Right. And then there's those, we have that book Paradise, the Holy city, the glory of the
61
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:44,160
throne, those that deeper relationship, you know, they're in the Holy city, but those that had that
62
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,160
real relationship and worship, it's like they have visa to the throne room, right? Because it's an
63
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,640
invitation thing. Right. You know, I've said before, it's just like the blood of Jesus Christ
64
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,920
is your passport to heaven. You know what it is when you try to go to another nation, you can't
65
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:06,000
get out of your own or into another one, you know, unless you have a passport, but many of those,
66
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,320
you have to have a visa and that's an invitation, you know, from another country for you to come
67
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:19,360
and disembark on their shores, but to come to the throne room, that's a relationship with Jesus that
68
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:26,320
we're just all pressing. And for those that have been there, just their experiences, everything on
69
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:34,080
earth, the things that this world grow strangely dim in the light of his glory. Yeah. Turn your eyes
70
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:40,960
upon Jesus. Right. You know, and that's what we're trying to impress on everyone. This life on earth
71
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,440
that you're living right now, this is nothing but a boot camp. Right. You know, this is preparing
72
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:52,320
for all the eternity here. You get your four, your three score, four score and 10, but all the
73
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,920
eternity is with the father. Right. And you try to wrap your mind around that. That's a, you can't
74
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,040
do it naturally. It's a spiritual thing. That's true. It's because God is outside of time. Yeah.
75
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:10,960
So give your body to God. Right. Why you can. Right. Because here's the thing he wants to work
76
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:17,280
with us and through us. Yeah. And that includes our entire being, our spirit, soul and body.
77
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,760
We've got to realize that we're supposed to be unified in our giving of our life to him.
78
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:31,040
And you know, sometimes you just have to stop and think, okay, so if I'm not really in charge of my
79
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,200
body and I've given it to him, what is, what does that look like? You know, I think it has to do
80
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:44,720
with how we live. It has to do with, as I mentioned to Dean, you know, the word that the Lord spoke to
81
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Derek Prince. I don't know how old he was when he won. The Lord said it to him, but he said,
82
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,840
I have a lot of work for you to do, but if you don't change the way you eat and the way you
83
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,280
exercise, your body will not be able to survive long enough to do all of those things that I have
84
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:11,520
for you to do. So he's looking at all of the aspects of our lives and he wants to make sure
85
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:18,960
that we are working with him on those things. The one thing the Dean said was that he's trying to
86
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:26,560
let the Holy Spirit guide him as far as what to eat, for instance. Okay. And I'm working on that.
87
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:34,000
I'm working on exercise. I'm trying to, you know, I've let things go soft, you know,
88
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:42,880
my life is so, my work is so sedentary. You know, I sit at a desk or I sit here in our podcast studio
89
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,200
or we sit in the car when we're driving someplace to go administer. It can be hours and hours. It
90
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,720
can be hours and hours and I just don't get enough exercise. I'm trying. Sometimes at the rest areas,
91
00:09:52,720 --> 00:10:00,800
I would just go jog. Yeah, yeah, I just go just take off jogging to get some in there. Right. So
92
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,720
we're going to talk a little bit more about some of those things, but I want to point out here
93
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:13,360
that where Paul is talking about Jesus being the head over the body, that, you know, that our bodies
94
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,480
are a part of the body of Christ. Yeah. And that was part of the point in first Corinthians six,
95
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,640
where, you know, he says, don't you understand that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
96
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Don't get involved with a prostitute because, you know, your body doesn't have any business being
97
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:36,000
attached to somebody else's body that isn't part of the body of Christ. Your marriage is head and
98
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:44,160
body. You know, the husband is the head over the wife. Amen. Yeah. Amen. But we have, we're well
99
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,960
balanced. Well, we are, but you know, I want to make it clear that just because I do most of the
100
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,240
talking doesn't mean that I'm not that I'm the head of the house because I'm not. But anyway,
101
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:01,680
the point is that if we can get it into our understanding that our bodies belong to him
102
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:09,200
and that makes him the head. Yeah. We've got this head that runs our bodies, right? Yeah. I mean,
103
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,400
you have to have your head. Right. So, you know, life kind of ends when you, when it gets lopped
104
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,960
off unless you're one of those really good martyrs that, that picked up their head and walked away
105
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,880
and then laid down, you know, that's another story. We'll see if we can find that one and, and, and
106
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:31,840
put it in the, either the show notes or whatever. Anyway, you know, what happens in a body if there's
107
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,800
a brain injury or what happens if there's a spinal cord injury where the communications between the
108
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,360
brain and the body are not working properly? Yeah. And that happened to me in our accident
109
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,360
because I had my seat back leaning when we went off 70 miles an hour cruise control into the median
110
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:56,560
and we hit something and I was flung forward. Airbag didn't go off because it, it didn't crunch
111
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,520
the bumper, which would set off the airbag. So I went forward with like a snap to my neck
112
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:08,800
and I blacked out because my spinal cord got pinched. Right. So, so it, it blacked out your,
113
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,320
your consciousness. You were, you became unconscious for a moment. Yeah. So that's one of the things
114
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,960
that can happen when there's a spinal cord injury, when there's a worse spinal cord injury, you lose,
115
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:26,080
you can become a paraplegic or quadriplegic or things like that. Or if there's a brain injury,
116
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,440
you know, there can be a stroke. It can affect your body, you know, a tumor in the brain can affect
117
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:40,320
your body. So what I'm trying to say is that the body and the head belong together. And just like
118
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:46,560
we learned from Romans chapter 12 verse one, it says, present your bodies a living sacrifice.
119
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:52,480
Well, what does verse two say? So verse two, again, from the Amplified Classic,
120
00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:00,720
do not be conformed to this world, this age, fashioned after and adapted to its external
121
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:10,160
superficial customs, but be transformed, changed by the entire renewal of your mind by its new ideals
122
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:16,240
and its new attitude so that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable
123
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,440
and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for
124
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:29,520
you. So if it has to do with the renewing of your mind, picture this, that your brain, your physical
125
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:38,880
brain in your physical body can be transformed by the presence of the Holy Spirit. As you
126
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:47,600
pour the word of God into your brain, it will rewire how you think. Yes, it does. It absolutely
127
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,560
does. When you pray in tongues, it'll rewire things in your head. It'll rewire even things that have
128
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:00,000
happened to you in the past that have been painful. I love what Dr. Caroline Leaf talks about.
129
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,840
That's the brain lady. The brain lady. She's so amazing. And she talks about how painful,
130
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:14,160
bad memories look like a thorn tree or a thorn bush in your brain. And you can renew your mind
131
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:20,640
by bringing the word of God to bear over it and praying. And the Holy Spirit can actually change
132
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:28,240
the physical nature of what's going on in your brain as he changes your mind. So the Lord wants
133
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,720
to work with us to heal us of things that have happened in the past that are even affecting our
134
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:42,400
health. Lots of the things that go on in our body are a result of traumas that have happened in our
135
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:51,360
lives. You just have to look not very far to see that a huge amount, I think it's actually in the
136
00:14:51,360 --> 00:15:02,320
90% area, that 90% of the things that go wrong in our bodies like diseases and so on are a result
137
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:09,920
of how we think. So God really wants to rewire that. He wants us to really get it, that he really is
138
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,680
the healer. That's why speaking the word of, see Kenneth Hagen had the revelation of that. The Lord
139
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:22,720
said, teach my people faith. And it's believing the word. Everything is all believe what is written
140
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,000
in the Bible. Right. Because that's the truth. That's the truth and then quote it. Right. And
141
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,200
don't have doubt. Right. Jesus said to the woman at the well, the time is coming and now is. When
142
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,000
you're not going to worship here on this mountain, which is what the Samaritans were doing. They were
143
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,960
worshiping on Mount Gerizim and neither is it going to be that we worship in Jerusalem, but those who
144
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:54,560
worship God are going to worship him in spirit and in truth. Amen. So even our bodies are going to
145
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:03,280
get involved in our worship. So I just want to think about what it is that God has us on this
146
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,800
planet for in the first place and why we have bodies. Okay. We've talked about this before
147
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:18,480
that because our bodies are made of the earth, we are the earthlings and we are the ones that
148
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,320
have the authority in the earth. The devil can't do anything without the help of an earthling.
149
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:31,120
And neither can God. He set it up so that he says in the book of Psalms that the heavens
150
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,920
of heavens belong to the Lord and the earth he's given to the children of men. So it's not really
151
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:45,520
true that Adam and Eve gave over their authority to the devil. That's one of those doctrines of
152
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:51,920
devils that we need to purge out of our thinking because it's not true. That gives power under
153
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:59,120
unbelief. Yeah. You're empowering unbelief. Yeah. You're also stepping back from your authority.
154
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,920
You're stepping back from what you should be doing. If you think that the devil has the authority,
155
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,840
he doesn't. Yes, he's the prince of the power of the air, but that doesn't give him authority over
156
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:19,440
the earth. The air and the earth are two different things. Oh, that's good. So we're earthlings. So
157
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:27,360
we have earth authority. And we're not airlings. We're earthlings. There you go. But our bodies,
158
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:31,760
our spirit, I mean, excuse me, our spirits, our spirit and our spirits are connected to heaven
159
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,440
when we make Jesus our Lord. Okay. So we're trying to, the thing we're talking about now is
160
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,480
this unification of our spirit, soul and body so that we're in sync with our father. We're in sync
161
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:50,080
with what he has for us to do it then on the planet because he needs us to do something.
162
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:57,200
He's put every single one of us here with a purpose and he needs us to co-operate with him
163
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:04,800
in this. Like Abraham, we've used this illustration before, but Abraham on Mount Moriah where he was
164
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,400
given instructions to go and sacrifice his son, Isaac. It wasn't because God wanted to kill Isaac.
165
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:17,840
That wasn't what that was about. It was about Abraham's willingness, obedience, to be obedient
166
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:25,120
to our father and trust him that even though he was going to kill his offspring, that God said,
167
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:32,720
the promise is going to come through Isaac. So it took faith for Abraham to be able to say, well,
168
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:40,960
I guess if he wants me to kill him, he's going to raise him up again. It was a picture of expectation
169
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:49,920
of resurrection, but he did that on Mount Moriah so that he could do on earth the picture of what
170
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,120
God was going to do on earth. Our father was going to offer his son on that very same Mount
171
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,560
in that quarry that it was quarried out to build the temple up on top of the mountain.
172
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:09,920
But that's where the execution spot was in that quarry. So I just get excited about our
173
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:17,120
position and God's desire for our participation in what he wants to do when we fully give ourselves
174
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:24,880
to him. So here's a couple of thoughts. Like what are the three things that everybody needs to live?
175
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,600
That's oxygen, water, and food.
176
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,160
Right. So if you don't have oxygen for, they say three minutes,
177
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:41,280
you're already going to lose some brain cells, just three minutes without oxygen.
178
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:41,780
Wow.
179
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:47,280
And for water, you can go for about three days without water. Some people have gone longer than
180
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,480
that, but I would recommend if you're going to fast that you just do like Esther did three days.
181
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,520
And I don't think it's wise to go beyond that. Some people do by the leading of the Holy Spirit,
182
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,480
but you got to really know you've heard from God. And then the other thing is that you have to
183
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,000
know you've heard from God and then you can go without food. Well, we know we've fasted a
184
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,800
number of days. You know, we know we can go 21 days. We know lots of people have gone 40 days.
185
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,320
There's an anointing to do that.
186
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Yes. And you have to have the leading of the Holy Spirit. You don't just do it.
187
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,600
It's not a starvation diet.
188
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,100
Right.
189
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,080
It's from the leading of the Lord.
190
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:31,200
Right. But here's what the Holy Spirit kind of led me into that. Okay. So we learned from
191
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,880
Dean Braxton that oxygen is the love of God and it's all around us and we can't live without it.
192
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:45,200
And you can't sense it with your senses either, but you have to have oxygen. You have to have
193
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:51,520
the love of God. It's just part of life. Okay. It's the breath of life. God gave us the breath
194
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:59,440
of life. So what's interesting to me is that we have this natural picture, but there's also
195
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:05,760
a spiritual picture of it. So you've got in Genesis 2, 7, it says, the Lord God formed man
196
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,920
out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils, the breath of life and man became
197
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:15,360
a living soul. So breath came first. Our father, it's like, it's like he kissed him
198
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,240
and did mouth to mouth for suss, well, mouth to mouth, suscitation, because it wasn't resuscitation.
199
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,280
He hadn't been in before. It's the first suscitation. I don't know if that's a word
200
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:36,000
or not. And then it's interesting that in Genesis 6, 17, the Lord says, behold, I, even I do bring
201
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,720
a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh. Wherein is the breath of life from under
202
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:49,200
heaven and everything that is in the earth shall die. So the breath of life is under the control
203
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:59,840
of our father. It had become so evil, so, so evil. Everything had gotten so out of line with what
204
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:07,680
the plan was. So Noah went into the ark with two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of
205
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,320
life. And of course he had seven of the clean animals as well. And I remember what Dean said
206
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,840
when he came back to earth. He says, the whole earth smells of death. Because even we see all
207
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,600
the beauty of all the green, it's eventually going to die. And that's what he, in the spirit,
208
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,800
because he was so sharp in the spirit when he came back to earth. And that just kind of lit up in
209
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:35,200
this verse out of Genesis, everything that is in the earth shall die. Death came because of sin.
210
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:44,000
And if you look at a tree, I remember trying to search for perfect specimens of autumn leaves
211
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,680
some years ago. And you know, you go and you're trying to find perfect specimens so that you can
212
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,800
maybe like put them in between wax paper or something. Remember how we used to do that?
213
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:03,040
Iron it. Yeah, it was great. So I began looking and I never ever found one leaf that was perfect.
214
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:13,120
Every leaf I found had some flaw, you know, whether an insect had nibbled off of it or whether it was
215
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:18,640
dying a little bit or, you know, it had some kind of spot on it or whatever. So, you know,
216
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:26,160
everything's broken here. But the more we give ourselves, but the more we give our bod to God,
217
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:33,680
spirit, soul and body, really, the more he's going to be able to bring us into that place of
218
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:40,960
maturity and bring us into that place where we're flowing with him. And we're letting his power work
219
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,320
through us. Okay. So you've got the breath of life and then you've got this water of life.
220
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:54,640
And Genesis one, one and two, it says that the earth was without form and void and darkness was
221
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:02,400
upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. So the spirit of
222
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:09,600
God had to move on the face of the waters, because there was no life there. So the spirit came over
223
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:18,080
the and hovered over the waters in order to restore life to the waters so that they could later when
224
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,040
one father would say to them, bring forth fish. Yeah. If there wasn't any light, there wasn't
225
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,400
anything to make oxygen. Right. As the light helps to make. Well, there probably wasn't any oxygen.
226
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Yeah. And maybe that's what happened when the spirit hovered over. Maybe it was giving it
227
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,760
oxygen. Remember we had fish tank we have when we were kids and we had some of these plants that
228
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,040
you buy and put in there and the light shining in it. And you could see the bubbles coming off the
229
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:53,200
plants, making oxygen. That's amazing. I thought, wow, that's making what we need. Right. You know,
230
00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:00,240
this little tiny plant, you know, in my aquarium with all these fish, it's supplying oxygen helps
231
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,960
supply oxygen to the fish. Yeah. It's true. It was a really, I mean, that's a real creation thing.
232
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,320
It sure is. It sure is. Let the scientists figure that one out.
233
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:19,760
And if you remember now, see, there's a physical and there's a spiritual. So John 737,
234
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,520
when Jesus was at the feast of Tabernacles and at the end of the feast, there's that last great day
235
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:33,040
of the feast and there's a ceremony that goes on. That's a pouring out of water. And it says there
236
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:39,040
in John 737, in the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying,
237
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:48,560
if any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He's trying to say, I am the source of the living
238
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:56,000
waters. And I remember Pastor Tony Kemp talking about a vision that he had a number of years ago
239
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:04,720
where he was caught up into heaven and he saw like just the arm and leg of the father sitting on the
240
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:12,400
throne. And he saw this water coming out from him. The living water was actually coming from his being.
241
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,160
And we know from the book of Revelation that it comes out from under the throne.
242
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Yes. That the living waters come forth from the throne. And people who have been to heaven
243
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:30,160
will say that, you know, it's not like water. It's actually life. It's life. Yeah. It's not just
244
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:39,520
living waters. It's waters of life. It's actually life flowing from him. So when we give our body to
245
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:50,240
God, he is also giving us life in exchange. Life of the spirit. Yeah. In Revelation 22,
246
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:58,400
1, and he showed me a pure river of water of life. Yes. Yeah. Coming from? Coming from the
247
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:04,080
out of the throne of God and the lamb. And then Revelation 21, verse 6. And he said unto me,
248
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,760
it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is the thirst
249
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:17,760
of the fountain of the water of life freely. Exactly. Water of life. Right. So if we go back
250
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:24,560
to John 7, verse 38, it says, he who believes in me, Jesus has just said, if any man is thirsty,
251
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:30,800
let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on me,
252
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:37,520
as the scripture has said from his innermost being shall flow continuously springs and rivers of
253
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,920
living water. But he was speaking here of the spirit whom those who believed trusted, had faith
254
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:50,640
in him were afterward to receive for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was
255
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:57,840
not yet glorified or raised to honor. So it required his death and burial and resurrection
256
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,920
to be glorified. That's another whole podcast. Isn't that kind of what happens to happen to us?
257
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Yes, we have to we have to keep laying down our lives. We have to keep giving our body to God. We
258
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,160
have to keep saying yes to him and no to our own desires of how things should be. I think Paul
259
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:22,560
word and I killed the old man when she was referring to his flesh. Right? Yeah. And that's
260
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,480
what we have to do. That's the start. That's the first thing you have to do. Yes. You got to let
261
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:32,880
the old man and you die. The thing that controlled you and that held the whip over you because you
262
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:38,240
didn't have enough power to you have enough Holy Spirit in you to overcome the come of the flesh.
263
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,000
And it's like it like it whips you. Right. You know, then it then devil torments you. You can't
264
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,800
do this. You can't quit this. You know, see, you broke your fast. You had that little slice of that
265
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,320
orange. You've you forgot in the morning you got up that you were fast and you made a piece of toast.
266
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Oh, I forgot I was fasting and the devil never let you forget. Right. But the more we yield to God,
267
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,200
the easier it gets to overcome. Yes. The more we say yes to him, the easier it is to say no to the
268
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:19,600
flesh. And the more we get our flesh enjoying his presence, the easier it is for the flesh to
269
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:27,280
participate in the goodness of God. Yes. The more we have meditated, the more I have meditated on
270
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:35,760
what we discussed with Dean, the more I find myself enjoying the presence of God because I
271
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:41,840
keep giving my body to God over and over. You know, I keep I keep I keep coming back to that thought,
272
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,760
you know, yes, Lord, I yield to you. Yes, Lord, I yield to you. And it's like all of a sudden in
273
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:54,400
that moment, I'm more aware of the spirit. I'm more aware of his leading. You know, we're walking
274
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,520
through the same process, listener, that that we're encouraging you to do. But but because we're
275
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,120
doing it, we're saying, hey, we can do this, you can do this, too. So we've got the the breath of
276
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:13,600
life. And we've got the water of life. Jesus came to be the bread of life. Okay, yeah. So let's look
277
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:22,800
at John chapter six, John chapter six, verse 28 in the passion. They replied, So what should we do
278
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:28,800
if we want to do God's work? Jesus answered, The work you can do for God starts with believing in
279
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,640
the one he has sent. They replied, Show us a miracle so we can see it. And then we'll believe
280
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,720
in you. Moses took care of our ancestors who were fed by the miracle of manna every day in the desert,
281
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,400
just like the scripture says, he fed them with bread from heaven. What sign will you perform for
282
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:53,040
us? The truth is, Jesus said, Moses didn't give you the bread of heaven. It's my father who offers
283
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:58,800
bread that comes as a dramatic sign from heaven. The bread of God is the one who came out of heaven
284
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,480
to give his life to feed the world. Then please, sir, give us this bread every day. They replied,
285
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:10,720
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry.
286
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,080
Believe in me and you will never be thirsty. Yet I've told you that even though you've seen me,
287
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,960
you still don't believe in me. But everyone my father has given to me, they will come.
288
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,560
And all who come to me, I will embrace and will never turn them away. And I have come out of heaven
289
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:33,200
not from my own desires, but for the satisfaction of my father who sent me. Yes, yes. You know,
290
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,920
you know, it's funny to me that if you take the context of what happened earlier in the chapter,
291
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:45,120
so this is just after the feeding of the 5,000. He has just multiplied bread, five loaves of bread.
292
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,440
He has multiplied for 5,000 and they're still asking him to do a miracle. Maybe they weren't
293
00:31:51,440 --> 00:32:02,640
there. So they were standing afar off. Yeah. Go to verse 47 and read through 58. I speak to you
294
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,760
living truth. Unite your heart to me and believe and you will experience eternal life. I am the
295
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:16,160
true bread of life. Your ancestors ate man in the desert and died. But standing here before you is
296
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,320
the true bread that comes out of heaven. And when you eat this bread, you will never die.
297
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,160
I alone am this living bread that has come to you from heaven. Eat this bread and you will
298
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,680
live forever. The living bread I give you is my body, which I will offer as a sacrifice so that
299
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:38,320
all may live. These words of Jesus sparked an angry outburst among the Jews. They protested saying,
300
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:45,440
does this man expect us to eat his body? Jesus replied to them, listen to this eternal truth.
301
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Unless you eat the body of the son of man and drink his blood, you will not have eternal life.
302
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,480
Eternal life comes to the one who eats my body and drinks my blood and I will raise him up in the
303
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:04,000
last day. For my body is real food for your spirit. See that's it. My body is real food for your
304
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,320
spirit and my blood is real drink. The one who eats my body and drinks my blood lives in me and
305
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:17,760
I live in him. The father of life sent me and he is my life. In the same way, the one who feeds upon
306
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:24,960
me, I will become his life. I am not like the bread your ancestors ate and later died. I am the living
307
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:32,000
bread that comes from heaven. Eat this bread and you will live forever. So when we get saved,
308
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,320
we are really eating his body and drinking his blood. Yeah, that's what the communion is. That's
309
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,880
what communion is. And you know, it's just amazing to me how much power there is in the Holy Communion.
310
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:51,520
Yes. You know, and think about this too. He was born in Bethlehem, which means house of bread.
311
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:58,080
So the bread that came down from heaven came down to be born in the house of bread. In Bethlehem.
312
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Right. As the son of David. It's just really remarkable. So you have the breath of life
313
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,040
that comes from him. You have the water of life that comes from him and you have the bread of
314
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,720
life. Those are the three things that we need in order to survive. You got to have oxygen,
315
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:20,000
you got to have water, you got to have food. And even the fourth thing is shelter. You know,
316
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:27,200
you can die from exposure, but he's also our shelter. He's everything to us. He has provided
317
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:35,440
for us so that we can have faith to give our body to God. And he is our spiritual shelter.
318
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,440
Yes. He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
319
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:48,160
Right. So there's that spiritual secret place that we have also. It's true. It's true. I just want to
320
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:55,200
bring this towards a close to look at the idea of worshiping our Father in spirit and in truth,
321
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,640
because our worship isn't only just singing songs. Yeah, that's right. That is one of the words for
322
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:09,920
worship to sing. And another word for worship has to do with singing with instruments. But there are
323
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:15,680
words that have to do with like prostrating yourself before the Lord. Get down on your face
324
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,720
before him. Get down on your face before him. Bow on your knees. That's what happens when you have a
325
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:26,880
real visitation. Yeah. When people have a visitation, it's like Isaiah says, what was me? I am undone.
326
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,760
Right. And you're just like a blob on the floor in the presence of God. Been there, done that.
327
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:40,400
But there's another thing that is about praising and rejoicing. And as I was meditating on this,
328
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,600
the thought came to me about, and I've meditated on this before and got this thought. It's this
329
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:53,200
isn't just new, but I've never brought it before where there is a part of our cells. Now, if you
330
00:35:53,200 --> 00:36:00,080
think back to your sixth grade biology book or, you know, round about that time, sixth, seventh grade,
331
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:10,000
you learn about cells. Now our bodies have trillions of cells, trillions. So if we're going to
332
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,560
give our body to God, we're going to give every single one of those trillions of cells to him,
333
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:21,040
right? Because every single one of them is operating in life, right? Every cell until it dies.
334
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:28,320
There's a thing that goes on in our cells that is like the power manufacturing part of our cells.
335
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:35,360
I don't know if you remember the word mitochondria. Does that ring a bell? Yeah. Okay. It rings a bell,
336
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,840
yeah. So, you know, it's usually pictured in those little sixth grade biology books as like something
337
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,360
that's shaped like a jelly bean and it has this thing that goes on inside of it and they don't
338
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,080
explain it. It's like an amoeba or something like that. Well, no, an amoeba has no shape in particular,
339
00:36:54,080 --> 00:37:02,800
but anyway, this is the powerhouse in our cells and different kinds of cells have more or less
340
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:09,600
mitochondria in them. Now, like your skeletal cells might be three to eight percent mitochondria.
341
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:15,040
Hmm. Okay. So that's not just a whole lot of mitochondria, but like your liver cells,
342
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,600
they might have maybe 20 percent mitochondria because they've got more work to do.
343
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:26,800
Yeah. A lot of stuff happens in your liver, but your heart, your heart muscle has 35 to 40 percent
344
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,560
mitochondria because it's got to keep working all the time. Okay. So your mitochondria is there are
345
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,080
all these little powerhouses that are producing, they're actually producing like electricity.
346
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,240
Uh-huh. Kind of like a, it's a natural pacemaker in your body. And yeah, well,
347
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:47,680
put it that way. It's not really making the pace, but what it's doing is it's creating the fuel
348
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:55,600
the mitochondria create a fuel called ATP. And I won't even try to pronounce what that stands for
349
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:03,120
because I want to keep this real elementary, but it produces this ATP fuel that your body can burn
350
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,200
that your body's going to use to make electricity to do whatever we need. Okay. So we measure
351
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:16,720
electrical power in Watts, right? So your body, I've found a couple of different illustrations of
352
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:23,040
this different facts. One website said, our bodies produce enough electricity to run seven,
353
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:32,160
10 watt light bulbs. Now there's another one that says the human body at rest generates an average
354
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:39,680
of about a hundred Watts of output. Wow. And during sports activities, it reaches 300 to 400
355
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,320
Watts. So that's the equivalent of burning 2000 calories a day, or from a different perspective,
356
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:54,240
the energy used by an led floodlight over a 24 hour period. Wow. Now they haven't learned how to
357
00:38:54,240 --> 00:39:00,000
plug a person in and light and light, but they, but they've started using the heat that our bodies
358
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,280
produce to actually heat places in the winter. There's a, the Stockholm train station gathers,
359
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,720
there's a machinery to gather the heat out of the air that our bodies produce. All the people,
360
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:17,520
the thousands of people that go through there every day, it's gathering their body heat and
361
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:23,920
it's heating a nearby office building. Oh, that's quite amazing. Isn't that amazing? So our bodies
362
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:30,480
are producing all of this, but what I'm trying to get to is that the way that the mitochondria produces
363
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,960
this and it's a whole really super detailed, lots and lots of steps to make it happen. I'm not going
364
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:46,880
there, but there is a mechanism that actually turns to turn out those molecules as it's, as it's
365
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:52,960
breaking down. It's what it's doing is it's taking the food we eat, our body digests it, and it breaks
366
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:59,280
it down into a molecular structure. You know, what you put in your mouth is a whole mouthful, but it
367
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:09,280
breaks it down into molecules. Your mitochondria can use either carbohydrates, sugars or fats or
368
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:15,040
proteins to make this fuel. Now you might find it interesting since we're talking about giving your
369
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:21,440
body to God and the importance of, of taking care of your body and giving a good fuel. You will find
370
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:33,360
that one glucose or one sugar molecule will produce two of these ATP molecules. Isn't that wonderful?
371
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:43,680
One glucose, but one fat molecule, depending on the kind of fat, but one fat molecule will produce
372
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:53,120
something like a hundred to 120 of these ATP molecules. That's just amazing. So consider
373
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:59,520
instead of eating pasta, eat some butter. Cause it's much better for you. Anyway, what I'm trying
374
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:08,640
to get to is this circular motion that is going on producing this power. And as I have meditated on
375
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:17,520
Lord, I want you to even be operating. I want my cells to be operating with you in producing praise
376
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:23,520
because one of the words for praise, one of the words that is often translated rejoice is the word
377
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:33,680
gil. And that word gil means to spin around. And it usually is translated rejoice or be glad or joy,
378
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:41,600
be joyful, rejoice. The great Hebrew scholar from Germany in the 1800s, he says that it means to go
379
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:48,480
in a circle or to leap for joy or to rejoice. So our mitochondria, when we give our body to God,
380
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:56,320
our very mitochondria, we can, we can just tell them you, as you produce this power,
381
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:03,440
do it in rejoicing, do it in joy, because you've been created to work with father.
382
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:13,280
You can actually tell your body, get your body involved in this production of, of energy,
383
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:20,480
this production of electricity, this production of power, the power of God can come into you.
384
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:28,160
And so we've got this physical picture of something that he designed us for, he designed us with
385
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:35,760
so that his glory can be seen in the things that are going on in the spirit can also be going on
386
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:42,480
in the flesh, can also be going on in our bodies as we give our bodies to God. So father, we just ask
387
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:51,520
you to enlighten our thinking that you will help us to renew our minds, to think about the connection
388
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:58,880
between your spirit giving us life and your spirit giving us the waters of life and the bread of life
389
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:06,800
that comes from Jesus, that our very bodies can be working with you and operating with you to bring
390
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:12,800
you glory and to bring us into this place of rejoicing in the earth because we want it to be
391
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:19,280
on earth as it is in heaven, even as Jesus taught us to pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
392
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,080
Amen.
