    1MAINTAINING NEW LIFE

    I want to talk to you today about something very powerful. Of course, everything from Godpowerful, isnt it. His word is awesome! I was discerning in my spirit whether to keep goin worship and he said, No I want you to speak this word today [I said, Okay] becauswant my children to be free. You know, freedom is learned, and trust is earned. And onethe things we are learning God says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledgKnowledge is a representation of light Because its truth. Knowledge in this arena whis truth and light is also life. Is everybody with me? Its life. So just because somebody h

    knowledge about something That determines whether that knowledge is from above from beneath. That which is from above is life. That which is from beneath is temporary. everybody with me? Okay. Good. You know when I was bound by drugs and alcohol aevery other demonic activity that I touched and agreed I was a walking hotel about stories high and about 38 rooms, who knows. And when I began to cry out to God for heand one of the things he asked me he said, Do you want to get off of drugs and alcohol or you want a whole new life? And I realized I tried getting off it myself and went to prograand everything else and I couldnt because there was something I was lacking and I wwanting a whole new life. And we need to have new life, dont we. Amen? We need a nlife every single day. So many people get lost in the arena where they have accepted tnew life and then gone back to the old and think that they have the new. Let me tell yo

    the old and new do not mix. They dont mix. In other words, you cant say you want to comoff drugs and alcohol or come out of fornication and all these other things unless you waa completely whole new life. You must want a new life. Does everybody understand thaAnd let me tell you something, a job doesnt give you life. Relationships dont give you liFame and prosperity and wealth and all these other things do not give you life. There is oone that gives you life. And thats the King of life! Amen? What is life? I want to shasomething with you. There are three dimensions of life. Are you ready? There is life thatsustained. There is life itself. And there is eternal life. There are three dimensions of liLife that is sustained, life itself and eternal life. Is everybody with me? Praise God. GoJohn 1. How many of you all want to sustain your new life? Amen? John chapter 1. Lifenot religion. In John 1:6, would you read it with me. Is everybody there? Praise God. Lo

    we ask for your revelation, confirmation and manifestation to maintain new life. In Jesname. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a what?witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. Now the wolight here means life. Does everybody get it? It means life. He said he was a witnessthe light. Or of life. How many of you all want to be a witness. Well the bible says that whthe Spirit of the Lord comes upon you, you will have power to be a what? A witness. HeSo obviously we have to understand something that to become a witness is to maintain tnew life. And thats only sustained by the Spirit of the living God. Does everybounderstand that? Good. In verse 8, He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witnessthat Light. That was the what? True Light, which gives light to every man coming into tworld. Whats the word light mean? Life. He was in the world, and the world was mathrough him, and the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own did nreceive. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of Goto those that believe on his name. Whats the word believe mean? To follow. Who wewhat? Born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Okalight is life, right. The life that was given is sustained. Is everybody with me? Okay. New is born out of knowing the life-giver. In other words, before you were born againeverybody with me? you were in life. Right. The whole world is in life. And we just wearound and did whatever we wanted to do but actually we were dead men. But life was besustained, wasnt it. Even though we were doing the wicked things in our life. Thats calsustained life. But there is another place where there is new life. And that new life can o

    be granted when you know the life-giver. Does everybody understand that? Okay. So tfirst dimension that we talked about life is life that is sustained. The second dimensionwhen we get a new life amen? Which we call born again. Which is only established knowing the life-giver. Does everybody get it? And the third dimension hallelujaheternal life. And that is a gift granted by doing his will. Is everybody with me? Because sthere are many people who have been born again and have not chosen to do his will awent back to doing the devils will. That eternal life is a gift ONLYby doing the will of GoDoes everybody get it? But see when you accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior allthese were available to you, werent they? Amen? Because now youve walked in yo

    predestined plan. The first part was to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Thmeant everything is available to you, isnt it. Is everybody with me? Isnt repentance dois will? Amen? So the first thing that someone does is they repent and accept Jesus Chras Lord and Savior, right? So thats the beginning of doing his will, isnt it. Oh, hallelujahwant to refresh you on this for a second. We know that there are three dimensions of liThe life that is sustained and the new life that is born out of knowing the life-giver. And tthird dimension is eternal life which is a gift granted to you and I by doing his will. everybody with me? Good. Go to Acts 17. Hallelujah. Acts 17. Praise you Lord! Howeverybody? Come on HALLELUJAH! Aw its wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful life nlife. Hallelujah. Acts 17:26 you there? Read it with me please. And he has made from oblood every nation of man to dwell on all the face of the earth and has determined th

    what? Pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings; So that they should whSeek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for him and what? Find him, though henot far from each one of us. Come on, read it with me. For in him we live, and move, ahave our being Thats sustained life, isnt it. People dont understand when they look at tstars and the universe and they are searching out all these other planets and things athey think that there is life beyond They have no conception that all of this is in life. AmeYou know if you could just picture because God is eternal. That means hes past, preseand future. But in him there is no past, present and future. Because hes the one wcreated time. So what he did was he cut out this big chunk of eternity. Pulled it out asaid, Im going to call this the universe. That way theres a beginning and theres an enEverybody with me? And in this he said Im going to put life. Does everybody get it. A

    then he set everything boundaries and times and seasons and everything. He set the staperfect so that when one burns out it shifts the universe and everything shifts everythingperfectly planned. People are going oh, no I mean, come on think about this they are saying its global warming. Well, its because were getting closer. Ill bet you this placegetting a little hotter! Jesus is coming its going to get real hot soon!! They are concerned about global warming it blows my mind! They have no idea or conceptionwhat is happening here. So Jesus took this chunk out of eternity right? And he creattime. If you read Genesis 1:1 it says, In the beginning In the beginning? That means Gcreated time. Amen? There was the what? Heavens the Spirit realm. And the earth tnatural realm. So God is the one who created time and he just fit us in it. Becaueverything is set about boundaries. Appointed, predestined before all of this was alreamade! So you were already predestined. I tell people, man if they could just comprehethis Jesus was already here and gone before he came. Because in the Spirit there is space or time. And thats where he wants to get you. Oh hallelujah. Id better get back heSo the first life that is sustained, the bible tell us that in verse 28, for in him we live amove and have our being; as also some of your own poets have said, For we are also what? His what? Offspring. Therefore since we are the offspring of God, we ought notthink that the divine nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, something shaped by art amans devising. Truly these times of stupidity I mean ignorance, God has overlooked; bnow commands Im telling you, commands! all men everywhere to repent. WhBecause he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by t

    man whom he has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising him from tdead. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. So we see that all of this is associated not only with dimensibut appointed times and seasons. Everything is predestined and set. The only thing heasking you to do is cooperate! Everybody with me? Oh, praise God. In him we live, moand have our being. We did not come from monkeys, did we. Hello. We did not come frosome kind of plasma protein or whatever. Listen, man was created from the dust. Animwere created from the dust. But they are two different species. Right? We are made in timage and likeness of God. Far be it that some monkey should be made in the image of mDad! I dont think he would like that. Its amazing how these theories become truths. B

    see to man they become truths but to the Spirit of Truth they will never be truth and thawhy people arent free! People think they evolved and you go around I mean think abosome religions Man in some countries, and I think its India the animals they think coube their grandmother or their mother. You know and they eat their food and they astarving to death Man move back!! That could be your mother! This cow comes up, eathe food and everyone starves. I think thats real dumb. Its called deception, isnt it. AmeOh, hallelujah. We didnt come from protein or plasma or whatever. We came from whGod created matter. Amen? He created it. He created it and made something out ofAmen? And thats where you and I walk in faith. Because what is faith? Grabbing holdnothing until it what? Becomes something. Oh because we are his offspring. Amen? Ohallelujah. So we see here that this is Im sharing with you the first dimension. We live a

    have our being in Him and dont even know it. Did you ever see an aquarium? You gothere its in this glass cage like and the water is filled and all the fishes and peopputting little homes in there. Little rocks and little bubbles. Well, thats the universe. AlrigAnd its sustained by this glass thing but the universe is sustained by the word of God. Aeverything in there the little fishes and all kinds of stuff that live in there are like humanswe live and have our being in God. That aquarium is like God. Does everybody see thAmen? Thats a representation of the first dimension. Is everybody with me? So everybois in the first dimension. You are no longer in the first dimension anymore if you are boagain. Does everyone get this? See so youre no longer under Thats what allows youcome from under the rules and regulations of that dimension. You are not a part ofanymore. Thats why the law was given to sustain individuals in the first dimension. He

    Go to John 3. 1 John 3, Im sorry. Hallelujah. No, no Im sorry John 3. Just erase that Hallelujah! Is it cold in here or is it you. People are pulling out blankets [LaughteWhatever you do, dont start the popcorn! [More laughter.] They got kids church in therePlease dont start the popcorn! This bible study turned into a movie day, you knoHallelujah. In John chapter 3, starting at verse 1. Now is everybody getting this? Are yunderstanding whats happening? Well get more into this here. Verse 1. There was a mof the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The man came to Jesus by night, asaid to him of course, he wouldnt come to him by day. He wouldnt get caught goingtalk to Jesus because of his position. And he said, Rabbi Well man, that would have foPharisee Jew to go to Jesus and say Rabbi, which means teacher Oh, maaannn! He wohave been thrown out of his organization. He would have been barred. And he said, Rabwe know that you are a teacher from God: for no one can do these signs that you do, unleGod is with you. And Jesus said to him, Most assuredly I say to you, Unless one is born agahe cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? And Jesanswered, Most assuredly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that whichborn of the Spirit is spirit. Hes talking about new birth. Amen? New birth. New life. Nlife! In this were talking about another dimension. Is everybody with me. He was sayinListen you cannot You cannot enter the kingdom of God the way you are. In other worthe kingdom of God is not manifested according to the way you are. There is anoth

  • 8/8/2019 Maintaining New Life

    4/11

    dimension which the kingdom of God is in and Jesus said my kingdom is not of this worldit. So he said to him, You know Nicodemus you must be born again. And Nicodemus saidhim, What do you mean, Im too big to go into my mothers womb. How am I going to born again. And Jesus said, By the Spirit. Why? Because the Spirit is the one that givbirth. Is everybody with me? Come on, everyone say: The Spirit. Of the Lord. Gives BirOh, hallelujah. Now. I want to share something with you. Because theres a differenbetween being saved and born again. And we have a teaching calledAre you Saved or BoAgain? Being born again is of the second dimension of life. Is everybody with me? When yaccepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you were conceived. Is everybody with me? Wh

    the anointing of the Holy Spirit came upon that seed, it was birthed and you became a necreation in Christ. Thats why there are people who were saved, right? But they are nwalking new. Does everybody get it? In other words, they are still walking the old way. Hmany times have you seen people come to the altar over and over and over accepting JesChrist as Lord and Savior and go back out. Well thats not born again! Because thereanother dimension and I shared with you already Only the Spirit can birth the seed. Doeverybody get it. Only the Spirit can birth the seed. And I know that there is listen Inot coming against anyone that says that just because they accept Jesus Christ as thLord and Savior they are born again. So be it, thats up to them. Im not coming againany of those things. Im telling you what I see and what I have experienced. And Ive sepeople who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and notbe born again. Do

    everybody get it? Why? Because its the seed. Only the Holy Spirit can birth that seed. Hthe one when you are birthed you become a new creation. Does everybody get it? Okalook. Go to 1 John 3. New life. Everyone wants a new life? Well, then you have to learn hto sustain it. 1 John 3. Hallelujah. Start at verse 7. Would you read it with me? Litchildren, let no one deceive you: he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as herighteous. He who sins is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For tpurpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devWhoever has been born of God does not sin; for his what? His seed remains in him: and cannot sin, because he has been born of God. Now the bible says that the Word becamflesh, didnt it. Thats why Jesus is the name thats above all names because it represents tword that became flesh. It is the seed of God, isnt it. Jesus is the seed from God. That w

    going to produce and birth his offspring. Does everyone get it? So when you accepted JesChrist as Lord and Savior, you were conceived. When the anointing When you get baptizin the Holy Ghost, youre born again. Why? Because youre a new creation. Even when Sawho became Paul If you recall, he had a visitation on the road to Damascus. I mean, thvisitation knocked him right of his horse! Right? One of the things he did was he acceptthe Lord, didnt he. Because he said, Lord what do you want me to do? And Jesus saidwant you to go to Simons house. Right? And then he sent Ananias to lay hands on him. what? Get baptized in the Holy Ghost. Paul became a new creation. Not when he acceptJesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Does everyone get it? But when he was baptized in tHoly Spirit. Now the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the beginning of tprocess of new life, isnt it. Amen? Because the seed is anointed. You know, I can only shawith people why it takes so long to become born again! Thats why Jesus now listenthis. Jesus was with his disciples on this earth 3 3-1/2 years. Right? Were they saveYes. Did they believe him? Yes. They followed him, didnt they. Were they born again? NDoes everyone get it? Thats why he said he commanded them, go to the upper room uyou get baptized in the Holy Ghost! Why? Because THEN you will be a witness to me!!! Njust because you believe because believing means to follow!! But you need to have tanointing and the power of the Holy Spirit so you can be a witness to me so you cmaintain the new life!!! Does everybody get it? Oh, hallelujah. The seed remains Jesusthe word its birthed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Listen, thats why Jesus didnt around Jesus was the seed, wasnt he. He was the seed of God. You might look at him

    saved. I mean, you know we know Hes saved. You know what Im saying! HallelujaRemember, he came as the example, didnt he. Right? He didnt do any miracles. He didbecome a witness, did he until what? When anointing of the Holy Spirit came upon hwhat did he hear? This is my Son in whom I am well pleased. Why? Because through tanointing of the Holy Spirit, it brings relationship. Thats why God is Spirit and you muworship him in truth and in Spirit. But see the enemy tries to get you out of the SpiBecause he does not want you to walk in new life. See now religion cant figure that oBecause religion is still carnal. Does everybody get that? Thats why Jesus said the carmind, the natural mind cant receive the things of the Spirit. For its foolishness to him. Th

    cant get it. Not that anybody is any better. But there is a difference between the SpiritTruth and the spirit of error. And its truth that makes you free. And there is an area wheGod wants us to maintain the new life that he paid a price for us. Hello. Oh, hallelujah. Logo to 1 Samuel 10. Oh to God be the glory!!!! Everyone say: New Life! Is for me! I Samu10:1. Come on speak it. Then Samuel took a flask of oil, and poured it on his head, [nSamuels head - he poured it on Sauls head] and kissed him, and said, Is it not because tLORD has anointed you to be commander over his inheritance? So Saul was anointed Samuel. Right? He says, Listen God has anointed you. Now there is something you havedo to go receive it. So you might say that Saul got saved. Now he needed to be born agaBecause he would not be able to handle the things of God that God had prepared for him unhe became a new creation to handle the things of the Spirit. See people cant handle t

    things of the Spirit unless they are in the Spirit. There is a difference. So what did he do? said, Listen in verse 4. Im going to send you somewhere and they are going to greet yand give you some loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands. After that yshall come to the hill of God, where the Philistine garrison is and it will happen when you hacome there to the city, that you will meet a what? Group of prophets coming down from thigh place with a string instrument, tambourine and flute and a harp before them, and thwill be prophesying. Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophewith them, and be what? Turned into another man. I told you the Spirit is the one that givbirth. Does everyone understand that? The Holy Spirit. So now Saul became another madidnt he. Amen? And he walked with God for a while but then he began to come out ofYou know what began to hinder him? Pride. Pride. Then he began to justify. He began

    take things into his own hands. He began to compromise Gods will. Do you remember whthey were sent to destroy and they were told to kill everybody and even the flock and tanimals and the king and Saul comes back with all the flock and they were told to kill tchildren and everything. And he comes back with the king they had captured and he thoughe could use him for a good ransom and came back with all of these animals and he toSamuel. Samuel said, Man what are you doing? And he said well, I brought all these animaWell God told you to kill them! Yeah but we can use them for a sacrifice! Did Godtell youuse those animals for a sacrifice? No, he told me to kill them. But Oohhhhh butt ministDo you understand? It will move you right out of Gods will. And the Lord finally got fed with it and he said, Saul Ive got myself somebody else. And the anointing lifted from hiAnd he put the anointing on David, but he didnt remove Saul yet. Thats why David had tanointing of the king. Saul lost it. But he had to put them together so Saul could smaintain kingship. Does everyone understand that? David had the anointing. But Saul wstill in office until he died. Thats why Saul really went berserk because he was chasDavid. Amen? Why? Because that religious spirit hates the anointing. Because it exposhim. Oh, hallelujah. Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophewith them and be turned into another man. Thats called born again isnt it. But anyone ccome out of that born again state. Look at the chambers of the tabernacle. Arent you ttabernacle of God?. Amen. There are the outer courts, the Holy Place and the Most HPlace. The Most Holy Place is called born again. What maintains that? The truth whichthe Holy Place. Once you come out of the truth, you begin to fall back. You end up in t

  • 8/8/2019 Maintaining New Life

    6/11

    outer courts where you can walk right out of the court. Those are peoples choices, arethey. Oh, hallelujah. 2 Corinthians 5. We do have a teaching on saved or born again whI am really not trying to teach on that today. Hallelujah. But sometimes we need to just cleup a few things so that the bible says make no place for the devil. Amen? So we see tfirst dimension is life sustained. The second dimension is called born again, which is knowithe life-giver. Or having a relationship with the life-giver. Amen? Praise God. 2 Corinthia5:17. Would you read it with me? Therefore if any one is what? In Christ What does tword Christmean? The Anointed One and his anointing. He is a new creation, old things apassed away; behold, all things are become new. Well how come when people receive Jes

    Christ as their Lord and Savior, they are still the same way? Because the anointing, the Spof God they havent been baptized yet. Now can that happen all at once? You bet! happened to me. Do I desire it to happen to everyone? YES! Hallelujah. Maannnhallelujah! We could just have church alright everyone just lift your hands and geVarroommm! Got born again? Praise God, you teach tomorrow night. But it doesnt happthat way, does it? Why? Because God has a process and a purpose. Amen? We have to it his way and not ours. And he who is in Christ and the anointing thats why the differenbetween the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of God and Im not going to go there either. to Matthew 7. Matthew 7. New life. New life every day. Maintaining a new life. To God the glory! Does it mean youre going to make a mistake? Of course, once in a while. RighAmen? Youre going to say something you shouldnt. Youre going to do something goofy

    whatever. But it doesnt mean you are going to be in that state. Because when you are boagain, you hate that place! In Matthew 7:21. Would you read it with me. Not every one thsaid to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that what? Does twill of my Father in heaven. Does everyone get that? Thats the third dimension caleternal life. Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven bonly those that do the will thats that gift, isnt it. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lohave we not prophesied in your name? Cast out demons in your name? And done mawonders in your name? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from myou who practice what? Lawlessness. Whoa!! So if there is an individual who has acceptJesus Christ as Lord and Savior and saying, Yes Lord I do this stuff.... But are sfornicating, still using, still doing this, still doing that breaking covenant. Hello. God w

    say, I dont know you! I dont know you. Amen? Thats why we have a fearful expectatsometimes, dont we. Especially those who have been born again, baptized in the Holy Spand they go back man, they cant sit still until they get back with Daddy! Why? Becauinside they know! That hell is knocking on their door. They know it. Thats the thdimension we must do his will. The third dimension of life is the fullness of redemptioAmen? Go to John 14. Hallelujah. John 14:6, would you read it with me please. Jesus saidhim what? I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the father, except throume! Wow! I am the way, the truth and the life. New life must be maintained. Doeveryone get it? Jesus said he is the way the truth and the life. Now there are three areasthis because he said I am the way, the truth and the life. In other words, hes the taberna so you are the tabernacle. Now your body, right is know as the outer court. Your souknown as the Holy Place. And your spirit is known as the Most Holy Place. Because its yospirit that communes with God. Your soul interprets and your flesh does the workdepending on where you are. Thats why the anointing is to take dominion over your fleAmen? Oh, hallelujah. Now Jesus said I am the way, truth and life In other words, yoSpirit must be maintained. Your soul must be maintained. And your flesh must maintained to maintain a new life. Is everybody with me? All of those things must maintained to maintain the walk in the new life. Because one of the things the devil wantsdo is contaminate your spirit. Now your will is the door to your Spirit. Why? Because yowill is the place you make choices. So when you choose to do something and agree with tdevil, the door opens up and your spirit gets contaminated. Thats called a corruptible see

    Thats why the bible says cleanse your Spirit and your flesh. Is everybody with me? Ohallelujah. So to maintain this new life that God has given us, you must maintain your spiyour soul and your body or your flesh must be maintained and put in submission and kecleansed. Or you cannot walk in the new life. Everybody got it? Go to John 10. Ohallelujah. In verse 7. John 10:7, would you read it together with me please. Most assuredI say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before me are thieves arobbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he shall saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture. The thief does not come, except to whaSteal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it mo

    what? Abundantly. To have abundant life, the new life must be maintained. Does everyboget it? So Jesus came to grant us abundant life. Life abundant to be manifested in this nlife, there must be a realization and revelation that there is the thief, the killer and tdestroyer of the new life. Does everyone get this? I mean, its so important. First of all, you to maintain this new life of course we talked about maintaining your spirit, soul abody you must have a revelation and a realization that the powers of darkness are tryingprevent you from walking in this new life. Does everybody get it now. They do not whBecause in this new life you are hidden in Christ. They cant see you. We talked about tyesterday. See if you are hidden in Christ, youre hidden in the anointing. He who dwellsthe secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Nothing shbefall you. See what the devil does is say, Come on out of there. Where are you? And

    loads up his demonic pea-shooter and shoots fiery arrows. He goes, I know theresomebody out there! So it hits people pow, pow, pow, pow. The ones that are in the Spand walking with the shield of faith it bounces off. The ones who are touching unclethings, it penetrates and they light up. And he says, There they are!!! Other than that, cant see you. Because youre hidden in Christ. Come on, do you understand this? Thawhy hes got to shoot it all over! Hes looking for you on his demonic sonar detector.

Why? Youre hidden in Christ! Oh, come on. Thats wwhen you pray in the Spirit he really cant see you. If youre in the Spirit, praying in tSpirit, He cant see anything! All he can do is shoot out all of these fiery darts and arrow

    And waves of stuff and whatever, you know. All right, where are they? Hes more afraidyou than you are of him. Because he doesnt know where youre going to pop up. Thats wyou pray in the Spirit, God sends his angels and Take your hands off my kid! BoomHallelujah. But see we must have the realization and the revelation that darkness is tryingsteal your new life, kill your new life and destroy your new life. What hes trying to do is jfind you. Because youre hidden in Christ. Powerful. 2 Timothy 2. Oh, hallelujah. Tpurpose of a born again believer In fact, the word Christian means Christ! Right. Well thmeans if youre a Christian, then you should be walking in the Spirit. In the anointing. Ohallelujah. You know, I didnt even know what a Christian was. I didnt even know whaChristian was. I was a Roman Catholic still roaming for the truth! Nobody told me I neededaccept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I didnt know about getting baptized in the HGhost. Amen? Well that means I was being destroyed for lack of knowledge. I didnt knoBut I found out. Glory to God. 2 Timothy 2:19. Therefore Hello. Come on. 2 Timotchapter 2 and verse 19.

    sanctified, and useful for the master prepared for every good work.

    the truth, and the life. You are new life and what the enemy wants to do is contaminate yospirit, your soul and your body. Thats why we must maintain these things. We must kethem cleansed. From the filthiness of the world and the lusts of it. Why? To maintain to bewitness, you must maintain the new life. Amen? Come on how can you be a witness if yare still out there doing stuff wrong. That means you are not maintaining new life. And tabundance of life is not manifesting in you. Because without this new life maintaineabundance isnt coming. People are still crying out to God, Oh Lord I need this here anneed this and I want this and I desire this and I need you on weekends. People go to churon Sundays just to look for Jesus but you wont find him until you look for him all the tim

    Hallelujah. Praise God. We must cleanse our spirit soul and body for a witness becauabundant life is a witness. You know the bible tells us we will know them by fruits. FruYou will know the spirits that attack you by fruits. You will know your own spirit by the fruSee your heart is the character of your spirit. Is everybody with me? Your heart is tcharacter of your spirit. So if your spirit is contaminated, so is your heart. Your heart wexpress the contamination of your spirit. Or the goodness of your spirit. Go to Matthew Oh, hallelujah. Matthew 12. Were going to let God be God, right. Oh, hallelujah. Verse 3Would you read it with me please. Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else mathe tree bad, and its fruit bad: for the tree is known by its fruit. Or the spirits are known their fruits. Brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of tabundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So this is where you know if your heart

    contaminated. Just listen to what comes out of your mouth. If your spirit is contaminateyou will see what comes out of your mouth. And so will everyone else. A good man outthe good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the etreasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you, That every idle word that men may speathey will give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall justified, and by your words you shall be condemned. You will know them by the fruit of thmouth. Evil spirits impress and man expresses. Who is impressing you? Evil spirits. THoly Spirit. Right? So whatever you are impressed with is what you are going to expreWhatever you are associated with remember everything in the spirit realm that you aattached with or associated with is going to manifest in the natural realm. Thats why tbible says two touch and agree and it comes to pass. Go to verse 43. When the uncle

    spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then says, I will return to my house [which he calls your body] from which I came and when comes and finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes, and takes with himsseven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the lastate of that man is worse than the first. Ouch! These are unclean spirits that we need to cleansed from. Because they are always trying to get back. Always. By maintaining tcleansing its called deliverance. Everyone say: Deliverance. And people need to mainttheir deliverance. There are three areas of access. Inherited. Self-imposed. And ignoranHallelujah. How does the devil access you? Through things you have inherited?
